Hmmm. On day 2 on 40m (near the end), there was a K5D qrv. In fact, he was right on top of SV1 (who I still needed). When I figured out it was K5D, I turned the antenna south and he came up real loud
Someone pointed me to their web page where you can do a log lookup. I am in the log on the right day, band, etc., so it must have been them. Almost thought that I had lost a mult. Whew! :-) de Doug K
I agree, but..... I have carefully scanned the original post and the word "cheat," or any deriviative of that word, is not present. If "cheating" is somehow brought up, it is by reader inference only
Just got my March 2009 CQ mag with the cw WPX results. YIPPIE!! I won a trophy!! BUT WAIT A MINUTE.....what's this I see? TI5N wins for the world (congrats) and get the WORLD trophy. I win for USA, b
[snip] When I was TDS Rallying, there were trophies for the top three places in most categories. Maybe it's time to consider something like this for major contests? [end snip] This is a GREAT idea. I
Someone said that plaques are heavy, expensive to ship, take a long time, etc. He is right! And you can't "show them off" unless someone stops by your QTH. How about cashing in your old wooden plaque
This is very interesting, especially the "busted" numbers. As Randy says, most are 1 digit off (1 too high or too low). Randy further says he is going to slow down (both modes?). I have to wonder...a
Spotting reports Cut Numbers Open Logs High Speed CW Some of us like spotting reports, some of us don't. Some of us like cut numbers, some of us don't. Some of us like open logs, some of us don't. So

Tonno raised an interesting point about "one transmitter" versus "one signal." Personally, I think the "one transmitter" concept if ideal for M/S (and not "one signal"). The concept of "one signal,"
Not to be too picky, but.... Before BJQ, weren't the rules: 1. maximum of 30 hours of operations 2. minimum of 30 minutes per off time ????? If you start the contest (today) 11.5 hours after the star
I just love anecdotal evidence (oxymoron?). I think being able to stay awake is mostly a function of band conditions and determination. When either is "high/good," it is much easier to stay awake. Wh
Stop the music! I think the posted comments are referring to two separate "rates." One is "pure" S+P (no SO2R) rate. The other is S+P rate on the 2nd radio while running on the first. Randy's comment
Sounds reasonable to me. So which EU countries have definitively documented that the lower limit on 40m is 7040? de Doug _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Con
I happened to run into this today. http://search.contesting.com/archives//html/3830/1996-12/msg00115.html Amazing. And Congrats again Dick! :-) de Doug KR2Q __________________________________________
If that were the rule, yes. I have received several direct replies from EU indicating that while the Band Plan may say 7040, their individual country RULES do not impose any such limit. Your premise

Well, realizing that I am far from the expert on this stuff, I wrote to the ARRL today. Here is their reply, which I found enlightening, at least in terms of USA rules/regs. [snip] Hi Doug: For start
