I also replied to DL6RAI's notice about WAE and the changed e-mail addresses with a question (since answered to my satisfaction from another source) and my e-mail also bounced. It seems that somethin
It seems to me that this might be the next most important thing for logcheckers to try to get right. I understand that this problem does not exist for all contests. If I understand correctly, the CQ
I don't think we should be getting our multipliers off any sort of post-contest help page. We need to copy the correct information during the contest. If we find out after the contest that we got K3F
Hello all: Just to avoid any confusion, please disregard the message posted this afternoon to the cq-contest reflector (and also apparently to the ylcc reflector) about the WAE Phone contest being th
I think it is much better that this be delayed beyond the log submission deadline. I have always been willing to share my log with anyone who wanted it, but only after the log submission deadline. 73
No. It would be a waste of time. Who cares if it was a club station licensed in 1912 or a new licensee in 2012? Just log what is sent. Let's not complicate it any or lengthen the exchange. 73, John,
Not much, Henry. Same if you find he is not in your log and you add the QSO before submission. Not easy to do in SS with QSO numbers, but in CQWW, all you need to do is remove the nearest duplicate Q
Milt: I was about to comment on NOT using the word "check" before the check in the message when you suggested it is a good thing. In my opinion, "check" sounds too much like "six" in QRM. I couldn't
I don't see that giving recognition in contest results to DX stations in the ARRL 160 meter contest would change the character of the contest at all. Leigh's comments seem to presume that some rule c
If some of the existing contests would permit credit for SSB and CW QSOs in the same contest or give extra credit for CW QSOs, it would encourage more CW activity on 6M. That is what is done for most
Dink and all: I recommend publishing QTH information where it affect awards. In other words, if there is an award for high state or ARRL Section, the report will be far less meaningful if the section
I thought it was pretty well agreed in theory that, if you vacate a frequency for any reason (certainly including attempting to work anyone else on another frequency) and you come back and someone el
The requesting to spot on cluster by contesters is very common. I must have had that requested to me at least a dozen times this weekend in CQ WPX SSB. It must be that these guys don't realize it is
All the activity possible won't make contacts possible under certain conditions. Remember WAE CW last August? I worked and worked to make about 135 contacts in 48 hours from GA to EU. There was a lot
Hi Derek: My XYL and I were married on CQWW weekend in 1974. She knew it. She picked the date because neither Georgia, Georgia Tech, nor Auburn had home football games that Saturday. I only got to op
Actually, there is another dimension to having the contests on a holiday weekend. Surely this is not worse than having CQWW CW on the weekend after Thanksgiving (most years). But a Monday holiday aft

Some of you may remember Chris as WL7KY. He has been operating the college club station W7UQ lately. 73, John, K4BAI. -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrative req
Jeff: This list must include only guys operating from their own home stations? K4BAI operating W4AN finished in the top 10 in ARRL CW SS in 1998, 1999, and 2000 (results are already out). N6TR operat
No doubt my selection as a wildcard team captain for WRTC 2000 was based primarily on my scores from 8P9Z in CQWW CW, rather than my scores from my tribander single element station at home as K4BAI.
Actually there is plenty of disincentive to operate WAE on the low bands and that comes from the 15 minute rule that applies to single ops. It is hard to switch to another band for a non-mult QSO and
