A Heaven Hill bourbon and cola, IIRC. Now yer gettin' it! Actually Hans, my definition of assisted and yours are the same. Organized systems to tell people where other people are. Maybe a little like
I'm not sure I understand - all the contest log software I've used except one won't allow me to enter a dupe at all. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why people don't want to work dupes? -73 de Mik
Goodday all The Pennsylvania QSO Party is being held October 13 and 14, 2007 The Pennsylvania QSO Party is celebrating it's 50th anniversary. A number of changes have been made to the party this year
The reason for the difference between our sections and the new RAC sections was explained to me as an example: Imagine if MA, CT NH, VT, RI, and ME were put in to a single section called NES. Thanks
My recommendation based on personal experience is to either get a new computer running XP, (get 'em while you still can) or get a high end used one. But run XP. Dell is still selling laps with XP. I
Lets not forget the guy who has a keyer, but has it set to repeat too soon, or isn't listening and is "just holding the frequency" while he works another band. -73 de Mike KB3EIA - __________________
We tossed around the "assisted" definition this summer during an advisory board for the PAQSO party. While in principle it is tempting to simply say that "any outside help" makes you assisted, in rea
Hey, I have one that might be interesting for some conversation. In the PAQSO, there are many cases in which a person who is tuning through the bands in search of an open frequency or will hear an on
How about the year the Op was born, added to the year they were first licensed, divided by the number of times they renewed their licenses, multiplied by the number of times they moved QTH, then add
I unsubscribed for a while last year, while people were arguing about what defines assisted/unassisted, and CKs. I came back about a year later and people are arguing about what defines assisted/unas
Nope, it's not a legal precedence. Because there are rules, and there are rules. Running legal limit while claiming QRP is a violation of the rules that puts the violator at a huge competitive advant
You are correct Hank. Trying to level the playing field is just one of those things that once you start it, there is no end. I had though of introducing a "crappy antenna category" at one time. And h
Seems very clear to me too, Tom. Some folks want every possible permutation of "assistance" spelled out though. - 73 de Mike N3LI - _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing
Somewhat, Bill. I look at the situation depending on what happens to the scores: In PAQSO, QRP operations automatically double the score. But those QRP stations are only kind of competing against the
Whatever I decide! ;^) Well that's the short answer. Makes me look like a dictator though. Let's take the CW scoring as an example: I won't go over the reasons why Hams should use CW Morse. We all kn
While this may be true, I walked into the party Chairmanship with the other system in place. Making a huge change like stripping particular Ops of half their score might not go over too well, eh? Per
Lessee, we have part of an exchange that means nothing, and more important than the real zone is something in a database somewhere. A great example of Foma !! -73 de Mike KB3EIA - ___________________

Is there a good online reference for this? I've always had a few questions on that matter, and would love to see the total rationale, since an exact reading of it would imply that a person without a
My rule is if you are caught cheating, that's it. We're supposed to be honest, self policing Gentlemen and Ladies, and once trust of that sort is broken, it is never regained. Unfortunately, many who
