It's pretty easy, Doug. Goes like this. Station A sends: "599 14" Station B copies that, logs it, and sends: "TU 599 02" Station A copies that, logs it, and sends: "TU QRZ" Station A and Station B se
If someone is mistaken about the zone they send from, and send the same information for the duration of the contest, and the receiving station accurately copies that information into their log, then
Paul, I've carefully examined the CQWW rules, and they do not support your assertion. The rules clearly require the transmission and reception of a signal report and a zone number. It would be a tota
Jim, as a newcomer you may have missed the long and spirited discussions here on this topic. The issue has been settled, and the major contest sponsors support a distinction between assisted and non-
Not to worry, Barry. Soon callsigns won't be needed in CQWW -- just a series of well spaced dits. dit? de Hans, K0HB Although I greatly appreciated all the spots from the RBN and the hard work by the
....horrors!!! Nay, horror of horrors!!!!! You sent no signal report???? The sponsor DEMANDS in his rules that you send a signal report! Of course this same sponsor then lets it be known that accurat
You haven't been paying attention, Paul. There is no need to copy callsigns. Just point and click. CQWW is no longer a contest which requires a radioman in attendance. We need a new category -- "Assi
Checking the exchange wouldn't be adding a new rule. The rules already require the exchange of the report. Good contestants in any sport would expect that higher skills would be rewarded over lesser
Rule 11.3.4(x) Everything not specifically prohibited in these rules is mandatory. I cannot see any where in the rules where cut numbers are allowed. Think about it. Doug ____________________________

The best calls are short (of course), and with a lot of average power in the suffix. T, O, M, A, N, W, Y, and Q are all good. Lot's of dits (like K0HB) suck. 73, de Hans, K0HB _______________________
I currently have an FTdx-5000. If I hadn't already bought it, I'd be buying the TS590S. It's the best kept secret in performance radios out there, priced way better than it ought to be. 73, de Hans,

Cool. You've had the same thought process that I had when I suggested the "Triple Play" award to ARRL. The most skilled and diversified stations will win. *73, de Hans, K0HB* *"Just a boy and his rad
Rudy, there is no need for ANY contest at all. We could all sit around and QSO with the pig farmers. Having said that, I applaud the guys from Greece for trying something new and different. Maybe it

Paul, As long as the station transmitters and receivers and antennae are all contained on the same premise (as specified by the sponsor), who cares how long the mic and speaker cables are? *73, de Ha
Thank you. I strive for excellence. No that's not why it's called remote control. It is called remote control because the control operator is not co-located with the radio(s). Prior to the internet (
