I can't tell about this particular spot, but such things commonly happen. The whole cluster network is not to be trusted. As an example, I noticed that DX spots made via the IRC interface of OH2AQ sh
It's the same temptation to cheat with DX-Cluster, excessive power, etc. I don't see the difference. There will always be some scum in the contesting community that cheats. No matter what we do, ther
They'd just have to let you download a version of the lotwreport.adi file that is signed with an ARRL private key and verifiable with an ARRL public key. *Anyone* could, with minimal software require
20m signals from RRTC stations were pretty loud here. 15m only open for the first two hours, in which I worked a few R33s there. Later I was often asked for QSY to 15m (and even 10m) -- always tried
Hi Barry, I feel compelled to answer here since I have probably spend more time practicing RufzXP, MorseRunner in HST mode and CW Freak lately than [anyone else and than] I spent on the radio; and ev
Spotting errors and such things can get even worse: My callsign (DJ1YFK) is obviously about as bad as it gets for CW contesting. There are only very few DJ-callsigns with three-letter-suffixes and to

As others have noticed, indeed common sense would dictate to simply stick to the IARU bandplan and change the wording of the rules accordingly. Make it a recommendation not a restriction. 7000kHz-702
Only for CQWW CW 2008, which could easily be downloaded from CQWW.com. The database file advertised earlier here on this reflector was in some cancerous proprietery format that I could not open. I ju

This has a log tradition. LZ3ND spots some juicy DX (usually known calls with one letter wrong) on his own frequency and hopes for people to click on the spot and work him. While this is intolerable
My experience is that the RBN is _significantly_ more useful than the DX cluster, simply because everyone is spotted and the network of Skimmers is now dense enough to give a very accurate picture of
The only way that's not bound to fail would need to be backwards compatible. There are too many open nodes in the cluster networks and it is not realistic that all of them will ever agree on a standa
Hi Luke, didn't get a confirmation either, but a list of the received logs was posted on the contestru reflector (see below). Also the results are available: http://www.srr.ru/CONTEST/ozchr_2011_prot
