Overlay categories are only for single ops. There is no Triband/single or rookie for multiops. 73/88 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@conte
I notice a few stations are operating remotely using their home calls. Seems pretty cool to do so. I operated remote in a contest while I was overseas as well, but my own station. Under FCC rules: ht
First of all, I also don't fault the PJ4G team at all. They interpreted the rules as written (or not written, in this case), and it paid off, which is fine. However, I do believe, like you do that in
I'll say that I'm not ready to let the competition know how far ahead or behind I am. If you want a separate category or contest for this knock yourself out but I like it the way it is. _____________
I can totally see someone developing this and calling it "innovation." _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/ma
The single band doesn't win. In fact, I don't even think low power scores will beat high power even if they are in the same operator category. Ria, N2RJ ______________________________________________
It's because you enter a separate category to compete only with the other competitors who compete in that category. Otherwise, they would just eliminate all other categories completely, remove power
It's really not that simple. Strategy will differ. As a single band entrant you do not have to worry about when to change bands. You can just run all day, all night. No having to decide when best to
I want to see logs due within 3-5 days (with reasonable extensions given genuine circumstances such as travel from DX locations and no access to internet, or computer crashes) and I want to see resul
I may need to turn to bust a pileup. That's where it becomes useful. For example SA mult when working Caribbean or Europe from the east coast. Long path is useful because I can decide shortest rotor
It might be a good idea but I don't think it would attract DXers. Personal perspective - DXing is an activity you pursue over a lifetime and it largely fits in with your family and other time on a da
Totally. I am in support of it. There are some whose personal goal is to get DXCC in a weekend, or get as many countries/zones in a weekend. A category where they get recognition for the achievement,

I might be missing something but here out east every major contest is loaded up wall to wall, especially on 40 and 20. Finding a spot to CQ can be challenging especially if you don't do the full 48 h
More importantly below 7128 there is less congestion because US stations cannot transmit there so there's less to work down there for DX and no real way for US stations to use those frequencies other
Split within US authorized ranges or in crowded bands is frowned upon. However, split listening outside of our ranges or uncrowded bands is not really frowned upon. Some DX stations cannot transmit a
This kind of scrubbing to meet the 10 minute rule is akin to rubber clocking and should not be allowed. This is where the recordings should come in handy. 73 Ria, N2RJ _______________________________
A skilled op can find a place to call CQ. Whether or not you get an answer is a different matter entirely. If you're not reasonably loud, you probably won't get an answer. Also, a "clear" frequency s
IMO, this is where the whole notion some have that "the CC doesn't need to explain their actions so the cheaters don't know how to beat the system " falls apart. Transparency is a good thing and I'm
I believe it's available for digital subs. Line scores are on the website. Ria N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.cont
