This is very different. When you are scoping out traffic nets, you have no idea whether a specific individual will be there, who will be receptive to your contest advances. Loading up a bandmap befo
An interesting discussion, with lots of divergent opinions.... Questionable practice: 1) Tuning the bands prior to the contest, and loading up your bandmap. You have, in essence, extended the contest
So, we're advocating that there should be no rules that can't be detected or enforced ? Hmmm, we better start with the existing Sweepstakes rules. Let's eliminate separate awards for the A, B, and Q

With my 19.2 kb/s dial-up connection, I don't quite have the bandwidth for real-time audio or a webcam, but if you're interested in cheering for a full-time, western USA, SO2R competitor, I will have
Guy, as someone who has been doing CQWW Phone from the western USA for the past 20 years, I admire your enthusiasm, despite being a little pistol ! 40M SSB is a tough grind from the western USA, even

With the persistent 75 meter jamming originating from the far east, it will be very difficult to work between the USA and JA in the usual JA window from 3792-3803 in CQWW SSB. I know there is another
