From now on, the check Then you are in violation of the rules and should be moved to the checklog or disqualified category. The rules specifically state: 4. Exchange: The required exchange consists o
But remember that the 59 (or the RST system in general) isn't stated as being relative to anything. Compared to the radio signals coming from Pioneer 10 (which is still sending) all terrestrial signa
Then why not state in the rules: Check (the last two digits made up at random) It seems pretty straightforward what the check is. I cannot see why some people are so resistant to sending the correct
As I stated before, the RST is purely subjective. R of 5 means perfectly reabable, whatever that means. And S9 means "extremely strong signals", but compared to what? There is no standard for strong

It would also be great if you could select the solar flux, K index,etc to see how those things affect propagation at different locations. Dr. DX did offer a DXCC certificate,among other things. 73s J
I may be in the market soon for an older (1990s) contest quality rig, and wonder how the Kenwood TS850 compares to the Ten Tec Omni V overall. Anyone have a chance to compare these 2? The QST review
