On the contrary, I've learned a lot from others. I read every word I can find on the topic. I even run a reflector dubbed "The University Of Radio Propagation". I'll admit that I find them boring. N
Hi Tom, and welcome back! I haven't found a SINGLE program that's excellent for contesting and ALSO excellent for general log-keeping/awards management/DXing/etc. After many trials I've settled on tw
Paper logs postmarked after the deadline date. Electronic logs time stamped (see header) after the deadline hour. 73, de Hans, K0HB/W7 _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest maili
K0CKB and I love the hectic clamor and excitement of a good contest, and we're delighted that in our favorite contest (ARRL Nov SS) the logs are still kept private. We'll still participate in the hec
Point 1) I think we all expect that the contest sponsor will be brutally "picky and exhaustive" in examining our entry, especially those entries from world-class stations like KY1V/6Y1V. We expect it
Certainly a significant percentage of hams weren't required to complete a Morse exam, but not "The vast majority". 73, de Hans, K0HB/W7 _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mai
For several weeks this reflector has been consumed with issues and insinuations regarding cheating rascals who don't want their logs viewed by Aunt Emma, cheaters who wait until the last second to su
If the reason to open logs to the public is to place sunlight on cheaters (which seems to be the predominate reason advanced here), does this mean that even the "check log" guys are cheaters? Sunnuva

Good plan. Trust the log checkers. That's been my plan all along. It's their job to thoroughly, exhaustively, and fairly judge the contest. 73, de Hans, K0HB/W7 ______________________________________
Neither is Radiosport contesting. 73, de Hans, K0HB/W7 _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/c
It'd be even nicer to have them participate in the contest. 73, de Hans, K0HB _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contestin
I'd have to check the rules, but I think they'd count as "KP4" for mult and points. 73, de Hans, K0HB _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com
Never mind! Only contiguous states and provinces are mults for DX. 73, de Hans, K0HB _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.con
It's a catch 22. Although the prefix "KP5" is reserved for Desecheo, no KP5xx callsign will ever be issued. You can only get a KP5xx callsign if you have mailing address on Desecheo. There are no ma
David, This situation isn't a "new" thing; many expeditions over the past 10-15 years have lacked "appropriate" prefixes. I think a lot of us care, but it isn't in our power to change it here. 73, d
