That is too bad. I do not think self spotting or asking your pileup to spot you are within the rules of this contest. The rules do not spell it out very clearly but it is clear that no self spotting
I think it would be beyond the sprit of the contest. I have recorded several contests now and I will continue to do so in the future. I do it for several reasons: 1. Because I can - with MP3 compress
This sounds like a nightmare to me. I would like to suggest that you ditch the second computer and use one computer, 1 monitor and 1 keyboard. Going with one computer solves so many problems. I think
I do not understand why you think it is packet that is causing the dupes. I do not think it is packet. Packet might be one of the reasons but consider the following: 1. There were dupe QSOs BEFORE pa
Ok - since you asked. I was looking at the IARU results and decided to compare the published scores to the scores reported on 3830 after the contest. I wish I had a more compleate list of claimed sco
I highly suggest that everyone go back and reread what I think is one of the best posts ever made on this topic. I suggest it be read carefully. You can find it at: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-con
I dont think it is a mistake - I think that the idea of a contest is to copy the information DURING the contest. After all the whole point is to exchange information on the radio. VERY good. Maybe Tr
I use the DVP to call CQ. About the only times I use it are. When I am eating. When I am tuning the second radio. When I am on 40m working split - so I remember to say the RX freq. N6TR made what in
I would consider CQ to be heavy-duty sponsorship. -- George Fremin III Johnson City, Texas "Experiment trumps theory." K5TR (ex.WB5VZL) -- Dave Leeson W6NL geoiii@kkn.net 830-868-2510 http://www.kkn.
I have always been under the impression that a contest was designed to be just that. It sounds like you want an "activity night". Yes - these are all good ideas. -- George Fremin III Johnson City, Te
These contests are called sprints. Sprint: 1. To run or race at full speed, esp. for a short distance. This sort of rate is often acheived in HF contests and sometime even on 6 meters. I just looked

At first glance this might seem strange but, I dont see it that way. For two years I worked at a job where I was on the telephone issuing permits. I had to give people detailed information that they
I have seen several posts like this - saying that I really didnt make an error - I just mistyped the information into the computer. It seems to me the key word is 'error' - I dont think it makes any
I would like to state for the record that I consider using a recording to go back and correct errors after the contest to be wrong. I also feel the same about going back after the contest and running
Like I said, "I lost QSOs too." I guess I should start recording contests and using spell checking software when sending emails. -- George Fremin III Johnson City, Texas "Experiment trumps theory." K
I do not see how this is any diffrence than the current system. When I went to school there were some teachers that scored tests by starting at 100 points and taking points AWAY, others started at 0
This registry already exists and has been around for several years. K9PG has been keeping such a list and publishing it in CQ Contest. It may also be on the web as well. -- George Fremin III Johnson
