I realize the original questions were asking about stealing a frequency. It has been deflected somewhat to M/M bashing (gee, I wonder why?!). On this point, it seems lost on many that a big M/M has g
It's called "running higher in the band". Granted, not all bands have enough room. Oh well. Mike N2MG -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrative requests: cq-contest
I might be tempted to call it a multi-op. Mike N2MG -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrative requests: cq-contest-REQUEST@contesting.com
What contesters do to each other and what they do to non-contesters are two entirely different matters. On SSB, a few kHz of "clear" frequency might be a contester's dream, but the "majority" isn't
Late last night, while setting up for the ARRL SSB contest, I noticed a fair amount of hum in my monitored microphone audio, while hooked up through a DVP. I hear the hum by having the monitor on, an
If station G0XYZ works me as a mobile (signing /M) on 10meters, can I also work him as G0XYZ (non-mobile)from his home station on 10meters? 73 Mike n2mg@contesting.com -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://ww
<big snip> All this "nefarious" stuff aside, I found the fact that a "G3XYZBUSTED" appeared on the BandMap to be a great eye-opener. Typing BUSTED only into the comments area is much less useful as
Thanks to all who steered me towards the "bad" ground wiring. I dug a little deeper and found an old official Harvard Radio cable (that came with the used made-in-USA back-up DVP card I bought) and a
If is No, that's when one gets penalized for it. It's busted (wrong) as soon as one logs it incorrectly. Your version says that it's not a busted call if one doesn't get caught. Hmm, maybe that's tr
I emailed Lowe last week - their response: Yes, we offered that mod in the dim and very distant past. All the staff concerned have long gone, and the info too. - Sorry! -- Best regards Tony Mikol (wo
This would fundamentally change the contest without getting any more people to operate the contest. I would hope the goal would be to get more people on the air, not just take the boredom out of Sun
Along these lines.. Is there such a thing, in any contest, as a penalty (other than losing the QSO/mult) applied to a logged QSO with an incorrect exchange? Mike N2MG -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www

The major cash investment at most competitive stations is not in the radio(s), but in the antennas. If this is not true at one's station, then investing in SO2R is probably a waste of money. 73 Mike
Beware the non-standard keyboard - if you use a full-size one at work all day, the retraining period will hurt (Ok, where's that other CTRL key...whaddaya mean there's only one...and it's on the LEF

Bruce - Certainly you are correct to believe you may have been mistakenly spotted. For example, HG3DX was spotted as 5G3DX causing a huge, instantaneous pile-up and a lot of calls from stations that

Dan, is there a definitive description of how a call gets bounced from a log? There has been too much speculation on this reflector - can we hear from someone who KNOWS? Mike N2MG -- CQ-Contest on WW
