Jim, I know that in ARRL DX when doing a Multi-Single the run and multiplier station are both treated as being the same radio. You have to stop running and QSY to work a multiplier then go back to yo
Dick, I don't think they ought to ban 2BSIQ or SO2R. Just make it a separate class like SOA. All the guys that are the elite operators do 2BSIQ anyway so they will be still competing against each oth
Jeez ! I'm now regretting even bringing up this subject.It's mind boggling to me some of the ridiculous comments some have made. I mean come on... saying things like SO3R and what kind of radio you'r
Tor/Steve,I'm surprised you guys say you have only one decent band to run on in a domestic contest. From where I am in Georgia the skip zone is pretty good during the day on 20 meters to populated ar
Sure hope people don't opertae FT8 all weekend. When signals get over 0db please try CW/SSB. 6 meters has been open almost all day to the Caribbean, Central American and Northern South America from m
There will be mobiles allowed? Good ideas. I would suggest stating that for the two calls / one station concept, the two calls can't be used in the same QSO. They must be separate QSOs. Otherwise, so
Hi All, I'm putting together our usual South East Sprint Coalition teams for the CW Sprint on September 13th. If you would be interested in joining one of our teams please email me at ku8e <at> ku8e
This Fall contest season is going to be very different from what we've experienced in the past. Many of those Caribbean island multipliers that we take take for granted will probably not be on the ai
Dave, I can only speak for Bonaire since that's the island I've been following the Covid-19 news for. The latest information//I have is that they have closed the air bubble with both Aruba (on August
I'm still looking to fill out our South East Sprint Coalition Sprint teams for the CW Sprint on Saturday night. Anyone interested in joining one of our teams? Please email me before Saturday morning
PJ4A will be on the air remotely this Fall contest season. NN3W operated this past weekend in WAE SSB. W1MD will be on for CQWW DX SSB and K4BAI for CQWW DX CW. There are dates open for other contest
Here are some statistics from the CQWW DX Contest database to put this all in perspective. Note this is for USA Multi-Multi entries only. * W3LPL did their first CQWW DX SSB Multi-Multi in 1978 and h
John, I know for Bonaire they won't let anyone in who holds a US passport in PERIOD. For an American It would be a waste of time to go to either the Netherlands or Aruba for two weeks beforehand to q
I'm not sure why they make such a big deal about this. I contacted WN4AFP about a score of mine that was missing and found out they just pull claimed scores from 3830. So basically I could submit a f
The top scores in CQWW have always been by guest operators. Some recent examples W2GD, AA3B, N6MJ, N2NT, CT1BOH etc from either Caribbean or Africa. If you've never done this don't knock it. I can te
John, I don't believe either own their stations. I've been to P40W and it's located on land that someone else owns which they let John put up his station and towers. I'm not sure about Andy's case. E
The problem with the ARRL is they have the contest rules in multiple documents which make them too complicated to follow. For example General Rules -> http://www.arrl.org/general-rules-for-arrl-conte
So if I live in Oregon and decide to fly to Maine to guest operate a station in person is that unfair? I guess I really don't see the difference of being somewhere in person and operating a station r
The difference is $$$. It costs about the same as a Dxpedition to the Caribbean to rent a pay for use station for a 48 hour contest. It's definitely not within the budget of many contesters. Of cours
