"Results The contest hasn't even had its initial running and they are already trying to deal with problems??? What problems is real time logging going to solve? 73s JOhn AA5JG ______________________
Joe, I have to agree with you on this one. If we want to get rookies into contesting, we need to keep it as simple as possible. This doesn't do that. Most of the "problems" cited in the earlier post
I guess I still don't see the point. How is having to have your log submitted within 10 minutes after the contest ends any more appropriate for rookie contesters than any other contester? How is it r
But why force someone to have a computer if they want to play radio contesting? The rules more or less say, if you don't have a computer, we don't want you in our rookie contest. 73s John AA5JG-who s
Or how about 30 days which is standard fare for every other contest. Why reinvent the wheel-such a time limit has worked fine since the start of contesting. 73s John AA5JG ___________________________
I thought it was for hams who had been licensed 3 years or less, regardless of age. I guess if you are reading this at the public library, you could contest, run to the library real fast, enter all o

Suppose an unforseen quasi-emergency or needed family get together occur the last 30 minutes of the contest, and the whole ordeal lasts 45 minutes. Should I then not be allowed to submit a log becaus

I will not send a log in for any contest with a ridiculous deadline like this. If others feel the same, it might just reduce contest participation instead of increasing it. 73s John AA5JG ___________
Hi Sean, Hope you enjoyed the contest. Best conditions we have had for a DX contest in 5 years or so. I just log the K or KW and send it in as that. Have never had a problem with log checking. I did
Heck, with that call you would probably still be sending when the 10 minute log submission deadline was passed. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@cont
Has anyone done a study (or have ancetodal evidence) about which letters (using standard phonetics) get through best on SSB during pileups or marginal/weak conditions? For example, I though "j" would
How does a CW suffix work, for those who have had a call like that or worked stations with it? It seems that CW would definitely stand out on CW and has a nice code rhythm, and Charlie Whiskey seems
There are other factors involved besides genetics and practice. Don't forget the monetary factor. Becoming a top level contester costs $$$. Lots of dollars. Having an Icom 7800 with a 6 element triba
Has anyone on the list had the chance to compare the Yaesu FTDX5000 with the FTDX9000 yet? How do they compare on receive? Does the 5000 do better on CW in contest conditions since you can install na
Would it be possible for the individuals who control the main spotting clusters to devise a filter of sorts for the next WRTC, where any spot for a WRTC team call doesn't make it onto the cluster. I
