I am confused a little by the rules. I read the 2008 CQ 160M Contest rules and under Scoring, there is the statement, "Contacts with other countries on same continent, 5 points." In the next paragrap
I worked them both and I received points for both in my logging program, N1MM. I don't think that a 1x1 call is a great idea in a contest if you are S&P, unless it is well publicized (i.e. K5K), you
Some other cut numbers that bothered me during the weekend. Cut numbers for 400. If you send UTT as a cut number and I (or your amp) miss that first dit, it sounds like the more common ATT or 100. Wh
Because when I say "Kilo One Echo Papa" I sometimes get the reply, "KILOWATT ECHO PAPA, your full call please". Maybe it's me, but some people hear Kilo One as Kilowatt and therefore miss the one. Ju
While I don't have much of a problem with contest logs being public if done fairly, I don't like the fact that DXCC credit might be in jeopardy. As an example, about the only time that VP6DX . was on
Although I didn't encountered that jammer, I was nearby on 14.277 from about 1327Z to 1416Z. Earlier, I did receive what I thought was intentional interference around 0530Z on 7.207. I had been runni
During CQ WW CW, I was operating (well, just pushing F1 and scanning the band) 10M at K1TTT after catching up on sleep from being on 80M most of the night. I heard K1KI running Europe on 10M. I could
So in that vain, in a MM, you could a non-operator as a "reviewer". He or she would review the recorded audio for any questionable QSO that was flagged by an op. The op could continue to op and the r
I know that the practice that Dick and Doug refer to is commonly done, what I was "suggesting" was the practice of reviewing an audio file during the contest and correcting the log after the Q has be

People also claim that WinTest has the CT look and feel. YMMV. No Deposit, No Return. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.co
Here is mine. "Work expands into the time allocated to it." Shorten the deadline, make exceptions for the few who have legit excuses, like remote dxpeditions, etc. ___________________________________
I have done this and it has been recommended by the LoTW people (at least to me). I have logs with callsign/# and callsign. Some log the /# and some don't. If I upload the same log signed both ways,
In that situation, I personally wouldn't work the MM from my own station to avoid any perceived impropriety. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contest
For me, as a low power non-assisted contester, the use of packet in a contest is not merely an argument of whether it is a crutch or not, it affects the way I contest, even though I do not use it. Pa
I agree 110%. Almost as bad as having someone send an R as dit dahdit (instead of TU or CFM or QSL or even a correctly spaced R) in the Stew Perry contest. I begin to copy it as grid square EN and th
Are you suggesting that you send "AGN?" any time you need a fill on one particular part of the exchange? Or send "SECTION?" if you need the section fill? I had one guy send me "YEAR LICENSED 19##", "
That exact thing happened to me. While trying to copy a QRS QRP station, someone dropped in a "CQ SS" or a "?" followed 1ms later by "CQ" right on top. Took a while to chase the guy off. Luckily QRP
What is the point in signing /ROK? If scoring is on line and/or real time, then once again the sponsors will know who is a rookie and who is not. Scoring will be appropriate and the rookie won't be i
This entire discussion has gotten me confused. After reading the post, I heard a station just send "J" as his power. So now I am thinking, is this a cut number for 1? Is he QRP? But if he is QRP, why
