Exactly. This bandscope issue is a load. A bandscope doesn't tell you if someone is CQing. A bandscope doesn't tell you if its someone tuning up or PSK. A bandscope doesn't tell you if the station yo
Guess that limits 15% of all CQ-contest complaining as the issue on CQWW Committee logs is now officially D.O.A. Now only if the same can be said for skimmer... 73 Rich NN3W Huzzah from here as well!
Ummm, because by submitting to the contest sponsor, you've entered into amateur radio's version of an adhesion contract. You agree to abide by their terms if you want to submit. Its that simple. ____
Oh, so since the the technology for QSO analysis, skimmer, and spot analysis is readily available, there are no secrets and the argument re: "I keep my log prviate so as to not alert the competition"
I think you misread my post. I support the disclosure of logs. And am pleased the CQWW committee has resisted the undertoned efforts of the ARRL to squelch the opening of logs through the auspices of
I'm starting to wonder if perhaps the ARRL should begin publishing the abbreviated writeups in QST and the full writeups AND SCORES in NCJ. In addition, perhaps the ARRL should consider allow the mem
Umm...Sorry, but Skimmer has pretty much invalidated that. Every single "secret" path, hidden skew opening, and long path route is now or will soon be fully open to exploitation and discovery because
If you take a look at the circulation figures for NCJ and QST - always printed on a USPS form once a year - the printing of QST is somewhere in excess of 160,000 copies per month (all members + copie
If you want another conflict, consider that WAE SSB and Sprint SSB are the same weekend this month... That will be fun. 73 Rich NN3W _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing
QST is actually pretty quick. ARRL DX SSB was in March, and results were known in early August - 5 months. 73 Rich NN3W _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Cont
Gotta agree with Ken, the resolution is pretty bad until you get into the mid 1990s. Some pages are skewed; some just scanned poorly. One thing that I've been looking at is the activity of contests o
I have to agree with Dave. There will be some very serious stuff going on down in the Gulf starting tonight and tomorrow, with a high possibility of loss of life, damage in the hundreds of millions o
Any QRV DXers or contesters located in Las Vega$? I'll be out there for business for a few days, and perhaps one evening I will have free time. 73 Rich NN3W __________________________________________
still 30 hours, but it will mean one less hour of darkness tonight. So, if you were planning on being QRV by 1100z owing to sunrise, you'll have to change that plan by one hour to 1000z. 73 Rich NN3W
It was WPX IIRC..... His proposed "fix" was quite humorous.... 73 Rich NN3W _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.c
So instead you spent more time discussing whether the guy is a real dupe or not, and instead you could have simply logged the "dupe" QSO and moved on... 73 Rich NN3W _________________________________
I fully agree with Tree. The WARC band issue is a third rail and we are well advised to leave it as is... 73 Rich NN3W _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Conte
50 dupes? I'd love that! I had over ONE HUNDRED dupes in my log. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/
I absolute love it Doug. Can I show up to Hara with my pearl-handled (or is it ivory handled) Colt .45 ACPs? Might be a bit more dangerous amongst the drunks in the SMC suite or in the 2d floor hallw
