I do not require that each contest be adjudicated in the same manner. I would like the adjudication to be consistent within a given contest and year. In the past with paper logs and even recently in
This is not true. Often it is quite easy to spot these cheaters. If you have all of the logs you can often spot these guys fairly easily. I have seen enough logs over the years to have seen these sor
Yep - but you know this almost can't be done now. Almost no one tunes the bands looking for DX anymore. You can be DX and call CQ for 5 mins and not get an answer. -- George Fremin III - K5TR geoiii@

I would generally agree with this point of view. And if you are unassisted and you use the DX spotting system to fill your band map before the start of the contest and then turn it off at before the
I did comment on this recently. I do not consider it cheating or even unethical. I am sorry if I mixed it in with my skeds post. But I personally stopped staking out a frequency before the start of t

N means you are not in their log. The minus '-' sign means you lost credit for these contacts. The number shows the number of band logs that those callsigns appera in in the database that was used fo
Yes - I think that is a great idea. Or a header in the cabrillo file that you can set to public. You can see the K5TR CQ WW SSB M/S log and UBN here: http://www.kkn.net/~k5tr/logs/contests/cqww/2005/
I think that it really is a question of how tired you are and how much it will affect your QSO rate and your error rate on Sunday. I have done the ARRL DX contest twice as DX on SSB and I think that
