Per K8CC: So, if Rex submits a CW-only log without those SSB QSOs listed, will the 4 SSB Qs get NIL penalties??? Does anyone know if CQ contests are the same for singleband entrants not reporting QSO
Bob... For clarification: The question is: If I operate 15m single band, but make a dozen Qs on 10 meters as the result of QSY requests, but only submit a log with 15m QSOs, will the guys I worked on

Bruce... One of the best anti-window arguments I've read...I agree 100%. But, we've decided to just avoid the various "windows" for CQing on 160 just because of the wrath that descends upon us when w
Hi All... I was out star-gazing last Saturday and saw my first-ever visual display of aurora, which of course is pretty rare in Georgia. N9HZQ just informed me that was the VHF contest weekend. Has a
<snip> Excellent, Bob. So you're saying that Dave's report of decreased coverage in CQ Magazine was incorrect and that CQ Magazine will be increasing coverage of the CQ-160 contest. Good news! 73 de
That would be nice. Like Jeff <I think>, I travel a lot and hit a lot of newstands...I see CQ VHF a lot, but never CQ Contest. I imagine contesters spend more money per station, but there are more SO
I think the original intent of the SS exchange was to approximate the header info contained in a radiogram. The check in a radiogram is a count of the number of words in the text and is usually a two

Sure it is, but that would be against the rules if used for multiplier spotting, and I think Mike's point is that it is possible for a good experienced operator to end up in all these pileups without
Well, you picked a great contest for illustrating why you should log the dupes! We always experience much greater dupe rates in the 160 contests. I suspect the added noise is the culprit. Repeat your
Well, I've been communicating with K3EST off-list about a multiplier that was removed from my log. I was just playing around, S&Ping on 40 single band. I was about to quit and realized that I didn't
Well, it's apparent that it is VERY common for the big boys not to log same-country QSOs. I see several options: 1) Come up with some penalty for the offending non-loggers...an analysis of _their_ NI
Apparently K5MM takes exception to my use of the word "lid", which means a poor operator, to describe someone engaging in poor operating practices. I haven't mentioned the lid by callsign in any publ
Hey all you CQWW statisticians out there: Should not the ratio of US/DX stations in the NIL file be similar to the US/DX ratio in the log in a normal situation? If there is a big difference, say a la

I don't remember my population numbers, but I think that would make one local contest club that included all of ND, SD, WY, MT and ID. Cool. Actually, it makes sense to me. Must be something wrong! H
