Tom, I fully agree that prevention of excessively wide signals rather then power control is the way to go. What I would argue with is that proving it would be easy. My noise level jumps by 5 S units
Andy, Sure I have heard of some operators deliberately making their contest signals wider. I think that should be considered by CC as serious the offence as excessive power or worse. 73, Igor UA9CDC
Mark, contesting is more complicated then that. If both of us call the same multiplier and I am 10 db louder then you, you will have to wait and loose valuable time. Provided all the other variables
Danny, Microham stack switch can split into 2 or 3 amp http://www.microham.com/index1.html Then one can split output of each amp into 2 or 3 antenna with anpther stack switch. 73, Igor UA9CDC _______
I would like to second Dave's statement. I think the decision whether to give your call sign after every qso or not, should depend on the situation. When pile up is small I tend to give out my call
Luc, I do not think this will happen. Such cheaters will have to comment out too many QSOs then. Not only they will loose a lot of points they can be also DQed on the basis of unsportsmanship. 73, Ig
Mike, I worked some MS in the past and will be MS in coming CQWW CW. If I am at the mult position and suddenly start working non mult in order to mark them later as not valid in cabrillo I loose more
CQWW rules are pretty specific "...The multiplier station cannot call CQ." 73, Igor UA9CDC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://li
IMHO the difference is in intent. One thing is to brake rules deliberately. Another - genuine mistake. 73, Igor UA9CDC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Conte
Mike, Nobody is perfect. We all make mistakes. Send me your UBN for the last year CQWW CW and I might be able to find there some call signs that could be used as an example. Suppose you were mult op
Jeff, I am sure a lot of subscribers of this reflector would support my request. May we ask you to make a good quality (preferably stereo) recording of your operation (both CW and SSB) next time you
We are going to operate as 8Q7DV in CQWW CW. The Multy Op station will consist of a pair of K3 transceivers, two ACOM2000 amps and vertical antennas. I will attempt to cover all the expedition develo
Try in Ctrl-J BANDMAP ITEM HEIGHT BANDMAP ITEM WIDTH Save new values with Alt-W Then close the program and restart. 73, Igor UA9CDC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing
I have Elecraft K3 here and TS590 as a back up radio. Although K3 is defenetely better with it's 2 independent RX, adjustable AGC SLOPE AND THRESHOLD parameters and better choise of roofing filters.
I am having fun watching the race on http://cqcontest.ru/readscore.jsp It seems that W2FU has registered in a wrong category. Apparently they compete with NQ4I in MM. Also comparing signals of the co
Jukka, That is true. TR4W has PTT turn on delay and it works fine for CW and digi. Anyway it does not protect you from hot switching completely. When you work SSB contest and press PTT how can you be
Nice addition to the excellent RBN service. How about collecting the information on antennas used and putting that data on the same page? Aggregator can request the op to fill in such a data at the t
Uploaded 6v7z log on the web page today. It went on the first try and I got cfm by email in a couple of minutes. Cabrillo was done by TR4W 73, Igor 6W/UA9CDC _________________________________________
To put some more powder into the flame, Russian DX contest is another one that explicitly prohibits remote operation. 5.1.2 Using any IP net for the remote transceiving, including web radio stations
I like the idea about WRTC. One saves money on travel. Instead one sponsors building up a remote station on the site and use it. Later those stations can be rent for other big contests like CQWW or W
