Well, he might still get his 1000 points towards WRTC-2018 qualification. Yuri VE3DZ The choice of contests seems to be quite poor. From NorCal, I had roughly 90 minutes opening to Germany during WAG
Hi Igor. Yes, nice contest, except: a) absolutely not suitable for North America (00 - 12 UTC, night time in Western hemisphere), unless you have HUGE antennas for Low Bands; b) no way you may work c
Then why not making it a 24-hour event? Yuri I agree with Franki, this is a great little short duration interesting contest. As the scoring system is based on distance between stations and exchange i
Hi Jim. So, if you (or your circle of contesters) work WWxWWW with precedence "A" and then heard him later and realized it's "U", but not "A", you never go back and correct it to "U"? How is it diffe
Hi Barry. Exactly my feeling. What in the LOG with just a hundred Q's might be so private that it shouldn't be open. I assure you that 99.9 % of such LOGs are not even being looked at. Paranoia? Yuri
Vitor, Unfortunately nowadays just about anybody can use your (or somebody else's) call to spot whatever they want. Just imagine what can be done, if they don't like you... And if they smart enough,
10 years old video, but still good... "You still need to lighten up, guys!.." It's just a hobby. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCN-3jkMHqE Yuri VE3DZ _______________________________________________
I think you are missing the point, Ria. The question Mike asked was: Are you just too lazy to question a loud, clear BY on 40m, beaming south, when it's high noon in Beijing? IMO it has nothing to do
Ria, If you search BY2T on DX Summit, you will see some of the spotters calla. I may e-mail you the extraction of my 6Y2T LOG (around the time I was incorrectly spotted) and you will see for yourself
Agree with Randy, Barry and Martin. Should be SO and MO (1, or M TX). And no power category separation, which is a real joke now... Mandatory audio recording for top scores... No matter, you like it
Me too. It is obvious that this rule was created JUST FOR THE CONTEST, not for general station building and maintenance. I.e. it does not apply before or after the Contest Yuri VE3DZ I read the rule
How about discussing and/or debating WRTC selection criteria and process? It's been a long time... Yuri OK everyone -- unless someone has something new and profound to offer, I suggest we move on to
Aren't we trying to invite more participants in each and every Contest? They would make already crowded bands even more crowded... Yuri VE3DZ Because the practice is selfish, hogging band space in ba
Many years ago the "WW-CONTEST" group was created to discuss subjects specific to this particular contest. I remember even CT1BOH was a member at some point. :-) But for some reasons it didn't become
Gerry, Isn't SO2R Dual CQ operation (a-la CT1BOH, N6MJ etc.) is the same type of <quote> "elimination of a lot of people from ever being in contention for top spots in the category" <unquote>? All th
Gerry, I understood your point. Please don't take it as an offence. Just look at it from this angle: There are RULES in the Contest, and serious contesters study rules, find the way how to use techno
I wonder if anyone from Top Ten SOAB in the CQ WW DX was using Flex radio... Yuri VE3DZ Bill, I just SOLD my 6700 and Maestro and have ZERO regrets. I had the combination for 16 months and the rig wa
Hello Mats. The idea of online score board is great. However, I wouldn't be so enthusiastic counting on someone's (private) web resource. Especially with .RU domain name. Who knows what is going to h
Hi Dave. How about that - for knowing geography, prefixes and propagation? Why bother with all of this if you can just point and click? ** Stations Copying 6Y2T Incorrectly ** 14012 CW 2017-02-18 00
Or, so now that's a problem! How QRS should it be, Scott? Any hints? I guess I should've QRS'ed only "6", right? Seems no big problem with other letters. And how would that prevent people from sendin
