I do the same thing Tom...and I still don't get logged! -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA "Have Dobro Will Travel" _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com
Where do you get the "initiated by the DX calling CQ" part? Rule 6.1 says nothing about that at all... Lee -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA "Have Dobro Will Travel" _______________________________________________
So what? If they're not entering, it doesn't matter. Yes, I've considered getting on in NAQP running a KW just for fun, fully aware of the rules of the contest. The only ones that apply are those of
Wasn't it K5ZD that said (regarding SS) "if I'm on 160, I'm losing"? -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA "Have Dobro Will Travel" _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@co
Not to mention, as in another recent thread, it's only cheating if the other station actually enters the contest! ;-) -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA "Have Dobro Will Travel" ____________________________________
Which, of course, has nothing to do with the actual published results of the contest. -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA "Have Dobro Will Travel" _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing l
Whether ARRL elected officials or staff use LOTW is related to contesting (and appropriate for discussion here) how? -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA "Have Dobro Will Travel" _____________________________________
Yes....I'll often take that opportunity to take the frequency...for teaching purposes, mind you! Me: "QSL QRZ AA4GA" I disagree that calling CQ by a class D station is against the "spirit" of the eve
Dangit...hit return too soon! I meant to add that if class D stations were not allowed to CQ, folks like me would probably just sign class A or E anyway and not turn in scores. -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA "H
No, it's not. -- Lee Hiers, AA4GA "Have Dobro Will Travel" _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listin
Indeed - and I wonder what processor my Drake R-4 is using to decode CW and SSB? Copy by ear vs. computer decoding is *not* "splitting hairs". 73 de Lee, AA4GA _______________________________________
The same here...I ended up with about 400 Qs playing around. First SSB I've done in forever. 100' doublet at 45' and 500 watts. I ran assisted, and basically just went from spot to spot with the arro
That's how I spot - I log the contact and hit the key combo to send the spot. I suspect the typos and miscopies are in the logs. Lee, AA4GA _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest
How is that materially different from having a program that automatically spots every S&P contact, clogging the cluster with spots of CQing stations? 73 de Lee, AA4GA ________________________________
Every contest I've heard of measures power at the radio - otherwise I wouldn't have just purchased a couple kilo bucks of Heliax. 73! Lee, AA4GA _______________________________________________ CQ-Con
Don et al, What would be the lowest end (cheapest - I'm a typical ham!) drone that would be up to the task of dropping monofilament with a fishing weight over a tree branch? I'm not interested in DJI
I was told once by a serious MM host down this way that N1MM *et al* had to be inferior to Win-Test because WT cost $ and the others were free, and by definition the free software couldn't be as good
One year, back in the 1980s, I remember WB6SHD decided to come to Dayton at the last minute. He strolled up to the desk on Thursday or Friday at whatever the DX/Contest hotel was then and told them h
Hi all... So, what is the smallest number of QTCs that makes sense to bother with? For example, I've worked 101 stations and have sent 100 QTCs. So, for the next caller, I only have 1 available. It d
Why is it ideal to use integer frequencies?? I know a lot of people (particularly, rag-chewers and nets) do, but why is it ideal? 73 de Lee, AA4GA _______________________________________________ CQ-C
