Thanks Gerry for QSO on 40 meters! RBN spotted VY1AAA, but if I remember just some US skimmers, so decided to spot you on DX Summit. Now realized I was one if rare exceptions who spotted you. Some ye
That US has few DQs is primarily connected to the FACT that most Americans respect and pay tribute to play according the rules. There are bad apples in the US basket too, but compared to other select
Ed, I fully agree on your last statement. If we (the contest community), start doubting the ability and commitment our contest sponsor show to our hobby, then time to consider digging deep for the st
It seems bad condx in ARRL stirs up emotions more than reasonable argumentation. The rules are clear: Top Three aspirants MUST make recordings to qualify. Everyone knows this... Read the rules please
Fully support Frank's view and logic. Someone claimed that Interleaved CQ is a part of the "evolution" and is "innovation" of contesting. My opinion is that Interleaved CQ has absolutely nothing to d
Martin, This is not an issue of being passionate or not. We all are in this group. It is also not an issue of being unfriendly on technology development and evolution. Interleaved CQ has NOTHING to d
Martin and others: Sorry I missed end of your message and delivered message that not were aligned with content of your opinions.... My message should then be directed to other persons than you Martin

Very valid comment Holger! Cqcontest.net is an excellent platform. WWROF might already have supported it financially? If not, that is an excellent platform to consider supporting. I have not always b
We can always discuss the platform for such a list. Can be run independently from any domain if .RU is sensitive to some people. Was I put on this black list? Never noticed that, but you might have m
Without getting to deeply involved in the D1 call issue, I am just curious to see if Ukrainian Amateur Radio society have included any Donetsk or Lugansk stations in their Ukrainian HQ effort? Many g
Yuri, I replied previously privately to you as I failed to notice that you had copied both me, LY4A and the whole list. So just for others to know my view, here is very short and a last comment relat
Victor, Again, Thanks for your feedback/update - and for efforts in creating a tool that can be used by everyone and also for more regional contests. Keep up the good work. Very much appreciated. A p
Well-spoken Stan as always! I do not need to expose myself all the time in the fire ;) Let Unassisted live untouched until the interest is gone to operate in that category! 73 de Mats RM2D __________
During the period September 13-18, I will be in Shanghai (last time was in 1994 - guess city has changed a lot in 23 years,,,) Any hams that would be interested to meet? I also have a crazy plan to m
I wonder if I have to move to the US to find this reflector interesting.... Maybe the rest of the world (apart from the US) need to create our own contest reflector? 73 de RM2D, Mats ________________
Guys, Sorry for stealing bandwidth with my thread. You are most likely correct that SS of course requires the same attention and care as any other regional contest. I just need to filter those thread
Hey Ward, I will elaborate a little on the important theme that you raised and post them in a thread with a more logical title. There are for sure more suitable authors than me, more actively involve
