I agree with everything stated so far: 1. Copy the call correctly 2. Some folks have fat fingers 3. the OH and ZERO and adjacent to each other on the keyboard 4. Packet busted calls cause exponential
Hi all: Well, some of us on CQWWCC studied this many years ago (20 or more?). We found that the most busted callsigns happen when you first get on the band. That can be: 1. At the start of the contes
Okay... I can't resist (forgive me). During a contest (or all the time?), the spotting software should be changed so that only the PREFIX is accepted/transmitted. That way, everybody would have to co
Looking for a room for May 17-19 at the Crowne Plaza (any room type).? NOT looking to be a roommateThanks!de Doug KR2Q _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Conte
Okay...this thing is going all over the place now. 1. Original topic was the J7OJ thing 2. I subsequently asked "what will you do with your log now? 3. Thread morphed into actually copying the callsi
Hi all: Taking the chance that I'll be chided again for "redirecting" the thread, I risk some comments. Stirring the pot is a good facilitation methodology. 1. More HF contesters is better than less

HI all: W4ZV summed it up nicely. Just back from Dayton and I am now waiting for the K3 to arrive. Besides everything that Bill said, I would add: How about the ability to easily and completely lift
I think that the ability to post REAL TIME SCORES is just so much mental masturbation. For M/M, if you have "extra" guys, I guess they can watch the scoreboard. What is the value unless you're lookin
Hi all: I've never belonged to a club, other than the local 2m club (long ago), so my comments are basically from a neophyte, but more importantly, from someone with no vested interest. Seems to me t
Rick, Gerry, et al: 1. Hope you don't mind if I combine the replies 2. I would normally reply directly, but since you have also posted to the reflector, I will too. But I hope that this is my last co
Cut numbers are fun. Everybody knows and uses T (Ø) and N (9). For variety, some use "O" for Ø...it is a welcome rhythm change on receive (for me) and still shorter than 5 "dahs" A (1)
Rick:Thanks for your input!? As I originally stated (below), probably 98% of folks on during a contest should not be sent certain cut numbers.? I happen to like A for 1 and it is completely second na
Sorry...couldn't resist. See the section titled "Work the Experts" - this is an intro for newbies who "can copy and send Morse code at 5 to 10 WPM." http://www.arrl.org/news/features/2003/10/21/1/ Ev

Hi all: I don't know. Having (by boat) gone past these (last year), they sure catch your eye, but somehow these multiple 1000' tall towers spread over 2 square miles just don't seem as "impressive" t
