No, the issue of "solicitations" and "round robin QSOs" was resolved quite clearly years ago in the CW and SSB Sprints. Round robin QSOs are *not* permitted. A: CQ CQ DE W1AAA B: W2BBB A: W2BBB W1AA
The rules are only ambiguous in the sense that they do not spefically enumerate every possible QSO solicitation scenario. If you do something that causes someone to call you, that is a solicitation,
Juno.com seems to have lost it's user database, so all message from CQ-Contest (and any other place) going to folks at juno.com are being returned. Of course, the subscribers at juno.com won't get th
I realize that 40 meters is an especially gnarly issue being such a small band and all, and I really like 40 CW, but I don't mind giving way one weekend per year to RTTY enthusiasts. Is a new set of
I have a similar situation here, adjacent to square miles of undeveloped forest but with 115 kV power lines crossing my property. They have never caused a problem, unless you count the time a 150-fo
I think web pages would be the best. Similarly, 3830@contesting.com would be an excellent place to post periodic messages that say "We have the following logs in hand thus far: ...]" But even this d
Nah, I think that many of the guys who are winning put so much energy into their stations that they bankrupt themselves of energy for QSLing. Keeping a competitive contest station going, especially

Even if it would have no effect on the competitive balance (fat chance), it would be a real psychological disadvantage to know I was operating against a bunch of packet assisted guys. I have no acce
I just got back to California and have observed a new annoying trend. My email inbox has a raft of messages from folks saying "I worked you in the contest. What's your QSL route?" I don't get it. If
I'm looking for a manual for a Yaesu FL-7000 solid state amp. Does anyone have one that they would be willing to sell/copy? Thanks. --Trey, N5KO -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-co

So if the new Multi-One category is exactly the same as Single-Op Assisted except with multiple ops, then does this mean the category will continue to have no ten minute rule? --Trey, N5KO -- CQ-Con

Well, I still say that loud beats funky any day of the week. Whereas there is a certain gee-whiz appeal to 1x1 calls, I believe any advantage you may create for yourself will be cancelled out by the
It's better to operate where you can get answers. The supply of guys to work in the General subband is higher, but by the same token there is also more QRM up there. You may have better luck lower i
This reminds me of a technique I experimented with a bit during CQWW SSB. From HC8, there are various times we go dialing around calling folks and they are not mentally prepared to receive a call fr
