For the CQWW, the rules clearly spell out "By submitting a log to the CQ WW Contest, the entrant agrees to have the log open to the public". If anyone has a problem with this, then not submitting a l
Dave, Aside from seeing what time they were working stuff that you weren't, I still remain skeptical that you have been able to leverage their experience in any way from looking at their old log. I'm
"We've been debating this topic on and off for at least 15 years and yet one question remains unanswered: Why do YOU want to look at MY log"? There are myriad reasons why one would want to look at an
Since I posted the comment below about a month ago, I found out that the Shure E2c-n is still available via Amazon.com for only $67. The E2c (standard) is also available for $70. I purchased a new pa
Why is it so difficult to see that having the logs open makes it very clear that the log checking process is transparent and completely without bias or favoritism? I think it's about time to proclaim
Some things cause ones' mind to boggle. This is one of them. Did no one read the two posts from PY8AZT? Here they are - summarized: "Just to give a feedback on the report of the spots K1TTT, where in
Andrew's interpretation is correct. Violating this rule does not change one's category to Assisted. It is forbidden and clearly is cause for disqualification. The ARRL and those other big DX contests
Hiya Mike, I don't think that is necessary. In a one on one situation, I think it's best if you were directly admonish the guy yourself. Tell him that asking you to spot him is sufficient cause for h
The bottom-line issue here has to do with "sportsmanship" and understanding the true meaning of certain words and phrases being used in this discussion. As was said during the recent U.S. presidentia
Many of you may be shaking your heads at what W7DRA says below. Here's the key from the CQWW rules: "First-place certificates will be awarded in each category listed under Sec. III in every participa
Dana, The multi-single rules for WPX are now the same as for CQWW. The use of a second band (with a second radio) is allowed but you can only log new multipliers on that second band - and you have to
While this may be on the fringe of ethical behavior, it certainly is not a way to win a contest. This sort of an informal "net" operation used to be somewhat routine years ago when I was a kid. Those
Paul, Please provide details of your alleged penalty for the other station logging you wrong in the CQWW. What callsign, what year, and what did he log incorrectly? I am very interested in finding ou
We really have a problem. This discussion should be taking place in the fall, not in the spring. Also, the key to understanding the importance of what year you send as your check is that the actual n
Stan, No, it's not my opinion. The league has made the statement in the past that the ck number can be any number you choose to use as long as you don't change it during the contest. I suspect that s
Joe, What is your callsign? Please read the rest of my email where I explain where the number likely came from. Please also read the actual rules and note that there is no mention of any penalty or a

Andrei, Please provide a reference to any EU law that says that SSB below 7040 is illegal. Thus far, all that have been cited are non-binding "band plans" or "gentlemen's agreements". While it may an
Zack, While this is OK, the problem comes in when the exchange goes like this: Hopefully, your sending of his callsign (especially if it's wrong) will cause him to ID at least once instead of sending
Due to being on an International business trip some time ago, I shut off the emails from the CQ-Contest reflector. I left them off for an extended period after being a subscriber to this reflector si
