http://www.itwire.com.au/content/view/5092/53/ Here's an article about "Apple's Mighty Mouse flies without wires" -- however, the shot is of someone's yagi farm -- it looks like a 20m monobander with
It is a great question, worthy of debate. I also agree that posting one's score is not DX Alerting, and it should not place one in the Assisted category If we ban the internet for single-op users, ho
I tend to guest op at many different QTH's for SS. Such is the life without a decent contest station at home. Yes, their are logging systems which give you hints as to the exchange. (I think TR has t
The problem is all contests CURRENTLY allow this type of QSO! If you are so opposed to the concept, and you found out post-contest that your KH6 QSO was from a remotely-controlled station, would you
Paul, This is a purely emotional argument, and I can agree with your sentiment. No one is trying to make you change your beliefs. However, think of the forum you are discussing this argument in. This
Which brings up a very interesting point. If it's valid for an ARRL Contest (ARRL DX, for example), why would it not be valid for DXCC Credit? How would you know your QSL card/electronic QSL is for a
Paul, We are veering off topic here. I get a lot of jollies out of knowing many contesters personally, and QSOing them in contests... in fact, It would be devoid of fun without the personalities and
"Still, those "political" issues are separate from the technology questions." Best statement of the day, Joe. Hams are INNOVATORS. It seems if a technology innovation is perceived as a threat, everyo
There are a couple of problems with this outlook, Doug. First, not everyone is capable of winning a contest. They are trying for personal or team best. Only a few dozen stations of the many thousands
Bill, Score Reporting is NOT spotting. I'd like to see you find ANY station in a contest by looking at someone's score breakdown. Even so, it would be easy to report only total score/mults to a score
NU1AW is always in New England (as far as I know, and I've been an operator for NU1AW three times.) This year, it was hosted at W2AX/1 for SSB and K2LE/1 for CW. Both stations are in Reedsboro, VT. W
I used NN VT instead of 99 VT. I got asked for a lot of fills. I found this strange... N for 9 is VERY common. If I sent NN as the fill, they get it immediately. ... then there are the other guys who
I thought I'd try it out for one contest... I'd say 60 out of 900+ QSOs asked for a fill... about 7%. That's more than I want, so I'll send the full numbers next time. I did notice a distinct pause a
The site supports the display of breakdowns. It is not the SITE responsibility to filter data. I would suggest a switch in the client software to only post total score and total mults, if the operato
And so what, Jim? Just like packet spots, you use your knowledge and skill and ears to determine if what is decoded/transmitted makes sense. Skimmer, or technologies like it, are just a tool in the b
hmmm, musta copied calls off the board after a little too much moonshine from the 12th floor. That's W1VE, not W1WE, at 40 calls, and it's W1UE at 26, not W1VE. (funny, we had that same trouble last

Richard, Hans, etc.... First of all, you do not keep your log private. If you kept it private, you would not submit it to the contest committee, you'd simply keep it to yourself, and claim victory am

You are misunderstanding. Spots do not go from skimmer. They come from Skimmer. No controversy here. Skimmer feeds spots to the application -- your cluster feeds spots. they all go to the local stati
