I wonder what sense the information on the type and length of coax makes when the limit the transmitter power is. ASL ist another nonsense. 73 Peter, DJ7WW --Original Message-- From: cq-contest-bounc
No Harry, If that 10m high dipole is located on a 100m high hill above flat environment at 20m ASL with good ground conductivity that dipole will always outperform the dipol at 2000m ASL, especially
I donīt see the difference to a qro station running an Emtron DX-4 or OM-3500 at full output. And how will you know before the contest started what stations should be tracked as you describe? Most of
I never missed one. A much better rule extension would be to oblige the Russian stations to use English language only. I tried to participate 3 years ago, started on 160m and gave up after 30 minutes

I donīt agree I donīt find the rule that tape logging is not allowed. Where do I find that rule about transcriptions? No rule prohibits tape logging. The logging was done during the contest. I am jus
But how can that be valid qsos without signing the call? 73 Peter, DJ7WW 3) Your "not liking" the DX station not ID-ing every QSO is nothing more than a well-known allegory of "a driver and a pedestr
Yuri, I know and I listened to many of those DXpeditions and most of their qsos were not valid either in my opinion. There was a German station in Africa who never signed with a large pileup which I
But the majority of the callers are probably the cluster operators, not the contest operators 73 Peter, DJ7WW The vast majorities of intrans in the CQWW are UNASS-isted. This means that all of those
And you could call cq as EIEDI, as it is known in advance that a call contains a number. 73 Peter, DJ7WW The CQWW exchange is known in advance for many zones, including zone 15. There was no need to
What about the other districts? Would be nice to work 435 multipliers in ARRL contests.. ;-)) 73 Peter, DJ7WW For the past umpteenth years, I've tried to persuade the managers of those contests that
