Amen to that! If they suspect someone, catch them via the logs they send in. 73- Chuck KI9A In a message dated 8/13/2009 7:29:02 A.M. Central Daylight Time, hank.k8dd@gmail.com writes: Random station
Why don't we just make it easier. Attach a web linked vid camera in everyones shack, just to make certain the wattmeter shows the correct power, and a single op is a single op, and nobody is sneaking
I have no problems with enforcement of the rules, but, random visits, to personal property, that's crossing the line in my very humble opinion. I would no doubt take a DQ, than to let a stranger in m
Do you guys at CQ, really believe you will catch a cheater, while being there? According to the rule, you have to announce that you will be there. I seriously doubt a cheat, will indeed cheat then. W
Heck, as long as there is a CW activity, I don't care if a robot is sitting next them on the couch! 73- Chuck KI9A In a message dated 11/9/2009 3:31:01 P.M. Central Standard Time, w9sz.zack@gmail.com
I've noticed in the last couple of years, there seems to be more and more use of cut numbers in SS. Guys, this is NOT the place to use them. With the mix of numbers and letters, the confusion is much
Ummm, Isn't this kinda what the NCJ SPRINT is all about?? I dunno why this is even an issue. It doesn't violate any rules, or, uh, "ethics" at all. If I'm mistaken, plus tell me why. Seriously, I rea
Well, I guess sour grapes is a bit strong..my apologies, Hal. But, I still fail to see an issue...Multi op is in my interpretation, an operation at a single QTH, using multiple operators, keeping fre
So, I guess any club that makes a "club activity time", is also in violation? So, maybe 200-300+ club members should also be DQ'ed? In a message dated 11/24/2009 10:55:19 A.M. Central Standard Time,
As contesters, we are always being called arrogant, among other names. Ignoring a station would just solidify that arrogance. We need a positive image among non contesters, ignoring a calling station
My 2 cents.. WHO GIVES A CRAP? If it gets more guys on CW, that's FB! Many of these guys will get their speed up just thru operating. Look, guys, this is HAM RADIO, and it's a contest. Lets keep it F
Guys Who makes the rules for FD? is it the CAC? Reason I'm asking this, is to try to find out why they removed the VHF station from class 1A a few years ago. Here are my thoughts on allowing 1A to re
I agree 100% with Hans. I see nothing at all "nasty". Could it be one station was just a bit louder than the others? If you were to do this 100%, there would be claims of fist recognition.. 73- Chuck
Barry, all, 1- You can't stop folks from spotting. Period. 2- You can't control, who spots who. Period. 3- If you are really worried about a station or stations, spotting another more than others, we
Very true, Hans, but, letting the computer send the CW is more assistance on the air, than a packet cluster, isn't it? The computer is ACTUALLY doing the work sending CW. Just saying... 73! Chuck KI9
At this point, I would N E V E R enter this contest!!! I'd rather be a net control OP for the goiter pain group.. 73- Chuck KI9A In a message dated 10/28/2010 6:23:05 P.M. Central Daylight Time, k5zd
Is it just me, or more and more stations skipping the callsign part of the exchange?? I noticed this a couple years ago, and, this year, I had maybe 20 or so do this. Not sure how to handle this. Do
Paul, needing reviewed or not, THEY BROKE the rules by not sending their call as part of the exchange!!! I certainly does not make it right to do this, just because you think the rules need changed..
Guess what? I'm gonna get on, do my best, and have fun. Skimmer or no skimmer. Don't care... 73 & merry Christmas all! Chuck KI9A _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing li
