Mike, The proposed scenario I was commenting on is completely different from what you're apparently discussing. The scenario I commented on is "can you operate the entire contest without logging anyt
Mike, This discussion is wandering far from what originated it. There was nothing in my response addressing the "fixing" of any log information after the contest is over. That is another issue altoge
I don't think there's any purity one way or the other - it just makes clear what you're reporting. Some logging programs report the clock hour rates only in their summaries. Qrate reports both. _____
Igor, Perhaps there is a language barrier here, but getting assistance from another human makes you multi-operator - it does not make you Assisted. Apparently, this is something that may be not very
I'm not sure what is causing all of this, but none of what W0MU or W8JI are complaining about was in any of what I said originally. I made no comment whatsoever about notes or using them to fix thing
Mike, I would suggest that you go back and read the earlier messages to see why I have an issue with your criticism of my comments. NOTHING I said has ANYTHING to do with what you are claiming I said
Paul, With all due respect for your 5+ decades of contesting, the reason your posts have not been forwarded is because you keep making the same baseless claims that make little sense and have no basi
I think that we have heard enough of these unsubstantiated claims that "those enforcing the rules continue to look the other way". Who is looking the other way and who is cheating? Please present the
Doug is onto something here, but he is still trying to define what "assisted" means, when we MUST define what single op means first! By specifically defining what a single operator is and does, one c
Scott, If someone else would be doing part of the operating (logging), they would then be multi-operator. More than one operator = multi-operator. 73, Bob ____________________________________________
This question comes up all the time. The answer is an emphatic *NO*. No one else can do something to change your entry category. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing lis
Scott, You're right that there "are literally HUNDREDS of things that are not mentioned specifically in the rules". However, in this case I'm attempting to reduce the number of those things to be con
Scott, You're correct that he was listening where he was transmitting and also on 7033. 7033 is actually pretty low in the band and likely to stir up some DX CW operator opposition, but yes, he was h
Craig, While many stations don't send their callsign often enough, I think that with a little observation, you will find that those on the top of the listing do, in fact, say their callsign with ever
George, While some of these people may use "judicious callsign rationing" as N6AA called it, none of them are examples of the seemingly "forever-not-signing" as is the apparent subject of this discus
Paul, I'm afraid you've really lost me with this one. What does the content of the Cabrillo reporting format have to do with what is the required information to be sent in the exchange? All of the in
Paul, Being correct is not necessarily pedantic. The rule requires that the callsign be sent as part of the exchange. The fact that one may already have knowledge of the callsign in advance of sendin
Jeff, As the method you apply here is one based on your greater than average skill set and experience, what would you recommend for someone who is not blessed with the same or just starting out? I do
If the multi-single gets no credit for these qsos, what's the problem? All the other stations they work get the benefit of them being on. Isn't the objective for all participants to have more fun? Se
EI5DI said:To which, the only sensible response is "Why?". The sensible answer is: because it is required! I know that the ARRL will not change the SS exchange simply because you feel it's redundant
