I took that number right out of the amp's operating manual. And I know that when mine was in a Pelican case (about 23 pounds by itself), the whole thing was under the 70 pound limit that the airlines
Doug, et al: NU1AW/8 missed four of those same calls. We also missed PW5E, however, we show PT5Z in the log on 40 CW. Dave/K8CC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list
Fellow Contesters: The Michigan QSO Party committee is pleased to announce that the results of the 2006 Michigan QSO Party are now published on the MiQP web site http://www.miqp.org. Despite poor ban
Any of these methods (QRL?, ?, IE) still require common sense and courtesy. Many ops act like as long as they send one of these, unless they get some raving lunatic response they have established the
Larry, This is not really a Cabrillo question. Cabrillo does not define how a log is scored, only how data is formatted. The question you're asking has more to do with how the log-checker's software
John, I saw in a note (I think from PY5EG) that this breakdown was based on raw numbers from the logs (except for the gross unique problem mentioned elsewhere) prior to checking, so its not at all un
The K8CC has used such a configuration (separate amps for each band, located remotely from the operator) since 1989. The station has been run multi-multi, multi-two, multi-single and even SO2R. We're
Which doesn't mean that it cannot fail. Even W3LPL has a spare monster supply should the primary fail (he told me so himself). Dave/K8CC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mai
Dave, I'm the logchecker for the Michigan QSO Party, and write logging software as well. I've never heard of any "standardization" effort. If the instigators of this want to gain wide acceptance, the
Teijo, I use all of K6STI's modeling programs and have no difficulty running them under Windows XP. Dave/K8CC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contes
Jim, That's all fine and good for where a lot was received for the claimed QSO, but how do you score a QSO with a station for which an entry was not received. I don't think a database exists with the
Ed, I am on the ARRL Contest Advisory Committee, but I am not going to comment because the official position comes from the contest department at ARRL HQ. After all, our committee has "advisory" in i
Filipe, What software are you using? If it is DOS-based (CT,TR,NA,SD) then my experience is very poor that you will be able to make it work, even while running under Windows in a "DOS window". We've
Paul, Kelly, et al: It is one thing to utilize data before the contest, and another to use it during the contest. It is also one thing to take a set of data points, and derive your operating conclusi
Paul, In ARRL contests at least, the stations have to have separate operators and "radios", but HQ's interpretation is that its OK to share antennas only. I don't see how this levels any playing fiel
All: On a related note, keep in mind that it is the ARRL logchecking position that when receiving a serial number, it is the responsibility of the receiving station to translate any received cut numb
I find it very amusing that people make statements about how logs are (or are not) checked without any information to support their assertions. I am part of the logchecking team for the ARRL 10M cont
I remember something the late Bill Fisher, W4AN told me about what he did. He would mentally break the contest into one hour chunks, and treated each one like its own contest. It was for this reason
Jeff, Yes, the prefix for Dominica is J7, but convention allows that to be followed by another numeric digit. Your argument is like saying that the prefix for Canada is VE, but that doesn't mean that
I think Keith hit the nail on the head. If K3LR has S/N 001 on each band of his W3NQN filters, I must have SN 002 or at least be in single digits. These are the preferred filters, hands down, at K8CC
