I would say that they simply zero beat poorly. If you are running at a good rate, I wouldn't move to accomodate the callers. They seem to be calling just fine, no? Mike N2MG
Even when line-scores disappear from QST, you can (or I will, anyway) bet the full results (line-scores and all) will appear on the web at roughly the same time as they would have appeared in QST in
"Discriminating against..." So we have a victim and an oppressor here, eh? FWIW, non-members can earn and receive certificates (and DX can earn certificates of participation) without cost or obligati
Yesterday, the link to this PDF seemed to be missing (and the document itself probably as well). Perhaps it hid under a rock, scared of all the reflector chatter. ;-) It seems to be there now. Try ag

I'm not sure what the "standard responses" are; certainly there are "standard" complaints to which, eventually, will come standard responses. Contest-free zones certainly qualify as a "standard" desi
I also see the similarity between theses two resources, bands and roads, however, I see it somewhat differently: no race cars necessary. I liken the bands to the highways, normally filled, to various

Scott makes a good point. The guys X-raying you and your carry-ons do so under your supervision. If they find something anomalous, they can ask you about it. (I wonder what the TSA wonks do if they f
Sure there are those who cheat with packet, just like there are those who cheat by using 500W in low-power, or running 8KW in high-power, and I'm sure there are even those who use more than a triban

Perhaps a kind of "last-minute, as-the-contest-ends, make-one-more-QSO" rush overwhelmed their sensibilities. Unfortunately, folks form opinions about contesters/Contesting in general based on one (o
I don't believe the octopus had anything to do with single-op. It had to do with multi-singles... There is STILL no rule against multiple tx in a single-op. Mike N2MG
High-power operating is basically a bolt-on advantage, requiring little further investment in operating technique. Packet allows operators to take advantage of the efforts of hundreds of other operat
I disagree. I've done multi-ops and an occasional assisted operation in the past, and it's no cakewalk to try to work that spoonfed list of DX stations that hundreds are already calling. While operat
