Hi Jim, Interesting. Never looked at it that way. I see your point but it would seem more appropriate to have a dedicated network set up between club members rather than broadcast information to the
Makes sense to me that if you give out U, you enter as U. If your internet connection failed before the contest, you had ample time to alter your plan. If it failed during the contest, then you were

Hi Bob, Yeah, it isn't going away any time soon. Personally, and not to swell Gerry's head to much, I think the realtime scoreboard would be an excellent tool for the casual contester to get a little

I'm pretty sure there was a VE2 in zone 2. I guess it all depends on if he sends in a log as to whether or not they believe those who may have worked him. Just like spots on the cluster, these files

FWIW, the VE2 I worked popped up as zone 2 in my logging program. Either the one you worked was portable, you had older .cty files, he was new or he hadn't been very active. In SS I noticed several t

I have to agree with Paul and Barry on this one. If the contest adjudicator can arbitrarily change the contest data from what was recorded to what he thinks it should be based upon a "best guess" th

Hi Ken, You bring up a good point but I would like to add to it. Yes, the zones are different in IARU so, if you receive a suspect zone from a W2 or VE2, then might it be easier, and more helpful to

Just a question about the livescore page. How do some stations reporting hide their mult and Q totals? There are several on the list with a score only and 0 Qs and 0 mults. Is this by design or a rep

I'm at 47N and surrounded by water and it ain't no better here. I got 12 contacts so far and all but 1 to South America. I don't fish so I guess I'm done for. 73 -- Paul VO1HE If you think it's bad,

QSO distance seems like a good element to determine point value. I like the grid square as "part" of the exchange but it is a mostly static value, similar to zones or sections. I feel there should al

All good points, Mike. If a driver gets DQed in NASCAR, everyone knows why. Restrictor plate, too much spoiler, car too light, whatever... it all comes out. That should be the case here too. In fairn

You can't imagine how many times I've been put in logs as UO1HE, VO1SE, V01HE, etc. I'll send a card to the station or manager and, if he puts 2 and 2 together, I get a card. If not, I have to wait u

I have to agree with you Ron. I like a good argument, and will sometimes take a side I don't particularly agree with just to get into one, but this thread has gone through an evolution that I cannot
