Ron, this is only for the WRTC competitors, not everyone. For the WRTC folks it is beyond simply being "fun." It is serious competition. For most everyone else it is more than just "fun" and that's n
Dave is indeed correct, but it seems all too easy to end up on a blacklist if you're using a shared server. Different problem for a different list, but it is a good idea to check your email host to s
Hi Sam, I too often wonder what category one would be in if they used the cluster only to send spots, not receive. But to contest organizers it is probably difficult to know who is a reader and who i
It probably also means no dual band SO2R due to the band change rule. Ryan, N2RJ -- Ryan A. Jairam, _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com h
I usually also send my log soon after the contest (and also upload to lotw) or the next day if I am tired. However, given that many contest log software packages prefill exchanges and give you warnin
I think that an actual RST report is pretty much useless as RST is simply an opinion at best. What may be useful is if logging software (voluntarily) records "S" meter readings and this was kept in a
You can be immune if you don't submit a log. Ryan, N2RJ -- Sent from my mobile device Ryan A. Jairam, _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com

The answer is A. "QSO alerting assistance of any kind (this includes, but is not limited to, packet, local or remote Skimmer and/or Skimmer-like technology, Internet) places the entrant in the Single
I would still contest but it wouldn't be a "full" effort. I'd just try to work states or DX. Applies to all contests not just SS. At the bare minimum I would want a tribander on a 30 foot tower to pu
If there are nonstandard emergency frequencies in use, publish them all over the internet, especially before a major contest. 3.815MHz is the Antilles net frequency but this is not well known outside
Utopia is lovely. Unfortunately reality is here, and reality says that no matter how many times you tell people to QRX, some people simply will not listen. So you come to a reasonable compromise, whe
Just for the record, I also agree that emergency communications should take priority. 73 Ryan, N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com h
I'm in the under 40 crowd which I guess is "young" in ham years. I've also been licensed a pretty decent amount of time (20 years next year). I was first licensed in secondary school (roughly equival
Hello Mats, I'm sorry to say that unless you're a Mexican national that operation in amateur radio contests is prohibited while in Mexico per COFETEL regulations. I'm not sure if this regulation has

I find the whole fee increase disconcerting even though I prefer LoTW over paper cards (because I get so many paper cards!) however postage costs are not what they used to be and I think that beyond
Postage only went down for first class letters and large envelopes. That was due to Congress not extending the "temporary" exigency increase. It's going up next year 2c due to CPI. However, Priority
