Mark, those are QSO points, all people were humans there and nobody made 4000 QSOs:))) And indeed ZS4TX and N2IC deserve some award as they did not qualify for the Most Accurate Log award that was gi
Hi Guy, I think you should never time your calls on the second radio according to your CQ but whenever you find someone on the second radio you should be able to call him instantly meaning that it wi
Fabian's work demonstrates that it is fairly easy to find packet cheaters among the top contestants in big contests like CQWW. Actually you can do a lot more than just checking the 5, 10 etc minute w

Wow, I would have never expected this to be so popular topic. Big thanks to all who helped to shape the vision including numerous direct mails. I consolidated all the answers and sorted them into cat

Thank you Igor for bringing this up. I was not aware of that as I was not present at my station most of the contest. I got the printout of the chat from the weekend now and it appears that one of the
