Agreed! Just like the instant logging on the new contest from the ARRL the Rookie Roundup. Unless you have the internet, too bad, youre not welcome in this contest. Sad when Radio has to have wires t
No I agree also, I have no problem with the spotting system of any kind. What I DO have a problem with is a trend that you MUST have the internet to be in a contest if you want to send in the results
Ok, This will be the last of me on this subject of contesting and having the internet be a requirement to participate. Remember i made reference to my section manager saying that he flelt it was un r
I'd log them,, anyway, the software if it's worth anything should just ignore the Q anyway, yet you still have a record of the Q for this very situation, and as many have said it's far faster to work
Really? You would have given up years ago? I am just curious as to why? I've been a ham since 1975, and a contester just as long. First contest was Novenmber Sweepstakes of 75, been hooked ever since

I agree Both. Born and made, You need to have a competitive gene in you to put yourself through this tourture because it's fun. Just like a marathoner. It hurts so why do we do i? because it's fun. w
I agree, I have played with them, and find no advantage at all to using them anyway. Yes I know and do code ok, regular QSO speed 25 to 30 WPM, Contest speed? who knows he he he,, but the level of ab
Is there some place where the abbreviations used in the scores are explained? Some of course are very clear. but others are hmmmm? like in this string, USA SO(A)AB(TS) HP What does it say? Joe WB9SBD
