For many years most of the serious multi-ops have multiple stations on the same band. Only one of the stations is calling CQ but the others are tuning or grabbing spots. Plus they have stations on th
It's spelled out in the WPX rules but I think the general rule that says /"A maximum of six transmitted signals, one per band at any one time, from stations in different locations." /contradicts what
I would have a lot more fun in contests if there was a WIRES-ONLY category and I could compete for something. Hey CQ can you create a category for me too? I doubt I would even get a response from th
I guess I don't understand why this FT8 subject is dominating the contest reflector again? It's pretty simple... if you don't like FT8 then don't operate that mode. You can still work lots of DX on t
Joe, PJ4V has been used by multiple operations. The information on the M0URX OQRS Service is the PJ4V operation for 2018 CQ WPX SSB by DK6SP, M0SDV, PJ4DX, PJ4KY and PJ4NX. https://cqwpx.com/searchby
Field Day is what you want it to be. Some serious guys treat it as a contest and others as a social event for their local club.I went out with our local club which did 3A. There were about 30 people
Again for the umpteenth time... Why are people talking about this subject on a CONTESTING reflector? Neither FT8 or FT4 are contesting modes. I guess this is more proof that FT8 has totally taken ove
Dave, With all due respect there are other lists that are dedicated to digital modes that this subject can be discussed. It doesn't appear that contesting.com has a digital reflector anymore ( see ht
Don, You're exactly right about FT4. Joe probably wrote that code after he hooked up with some contesters (YCCC guys) who wanted to have a faster way to make FT8 contacts during digital contests. Tha

I can tell VE9AA will never be going on a Dxpedition to some rare uninhabited island.... unless it's to one of those rare cold Antarctic islands :)JeffSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
NAQP is a low power contest so it supposedly levels the playing field? So I guess if you are using a dipole that's equal to using a beam on the tower? Personally I don't think running an amplifier m
Sorry but what does living in a HOA have to do with operating assisted ? It seems to me that that you would have a harder time working someone by clicking on spots as compared to tuning the band and
KenSure you're going to do better SOA because you are having spots fed to you. But it's not necessary to do good in a contest. The way I read this thread is the author and some others were saying ope
CWT isn't even a real contest because they don't check logs. Someone could post a bogus score to 3830 and no one would even know. No one would even care anyway. JeffSent from my Verizon, Samsung Gala
Mark,I don't think anyone suggested NAQP is broken or lacking activity. But you can still change rules to get them up to date with the times. I think NAQP has had the same rules since it started in t

Ria, With all due respect just because some of us of us don't want to use certain technologies doesn't make us "anti technology"? Do all of us have to operate the same way using the same technologies
RiaMaybe you did but before that statement you stated that "Hams are anti-technology". It seems to me you were suggesting that anyone who doesn't embrace assisted technology such as skimmer was again
