Maybe there is another angle to this... I agree there are probably some folks who really aren't familiar enough with the rules and think they are helping the CQing station by giving them a qso. But,
Excuse me for repeating myself, but when I posted this earlier NQ4I was the only one who picked up on what I had proposed. (unusual for this group, not even a flame or two) So, let me attempt to stat
- yes, the root cause of the zero-point issue. Doesn't this also suggest a solution? "...I don't really think the impact of zero point QSOs on your points/QSO ratio is of any significance unless the

Mal, N7MAL opined: "...There's a lot of room, a lot, on 75m for SSB contesting..." This is not necessarily true at this time of the year and this part of the cycle, especially if you are in the easte
You gotta love the irony in some of these situations. I heard KU8E being accosted by some frequency cops about being in the DX window (3798kHz) on 75m in the Sprint... as he was working an F4...also
Heard Bill N6ZFO briefly on 40m but couldn't catch up to him...he was the ONLY CA heard. Had 7 mults (WI, TN, GA, CO, NV, WA, TX) and 39 Q's. Tnx for the QSO's, Jim. It was fun. 73, Ted W4NZ Weird. F
I have a K1EA DVP card which apparently has the PTT stuck "on". Anyone know where I can get a schematic to troubleshoot it? (tried the CT-User reflector with no luck) Thanks and 73, Ted W4NZ ________
I was the other 40m CW operator for W1AW/4. Out of over 1200 QSO's on that band, a few over 700 were US stations. Any rules change that would create a disincentive for those stations to work their ow
Very interesting analysis and obviously a LOT of effort went into this. Reading this, a few thoughts occured: 1. Did the guys at PT5M also have a 40m terrain advantage over others (PW5X, for example)

Get your football fix on the college games this Saturday, take a break from the NFL Sunday and come to a party, the Tennessee QSO Party...1800z on Sunday September 10 to 0100z Monday September 11. Lo
And why is this familiar...because the problem still exists. In this part of the cycle and the lack of propagation, it is even more evident. As I recall, NQ4I wasn't the only station affected by this
Hi Kelly, Sorry to disagree with you, but having rules that allow valid QSO's worth zero points is just plain silly. If it is a valid QSO it should also have some point value. The fact that the QSO m
This discussion kinda reminds me of the old Roger Miller country song, "You Can't Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd", which seems to be a somewhat appropriate analogy to this situation. Should get really
Not being a 75m DXer, Saturday evening I also unknowingly landed in the "window". I was promptly (and politely) asked to QSY by one of the "window police". Wanting SS QSO's more than an argument, I m
Would you two please NOT work me this weekend...I don't want to be DQ'd too...plus, I don't need the (zero) points. 73 es gl, Ted W4NZ I guess I'm DQ'd from CQ WW this weekend -- a handful of contest
Kelly, VE4XT posed a significant question, "...if it weren't for contests, would there be enough activity to justify the continuance of ham radio?..." -or at least- justify retention of our current f
While we are nit-picking this subject to death, let me add another nit: As someone on this reflector pointed out well before this contest season began, there is an editorial flaw in the CQ WW Contest
