John, Did I understand it correctly that there will be a draw among 63 high performing participants for a SINGLE one-week trip? Thanks, 73 Yuri VE3DZ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE.03.2020 * TRAVEL FREE
Also, not everyone has the ability to spot during the Contest. I think the monitoring and enforcement should be a responsibility of the Contest committee. Yuri VE3DZ Not quite. When someone is clicki
I was hoping for live streaming and real time updates on social media. 73, Yuri VE3DZ Another way of saying that SO Unassisted is no longer an option in SAC? 73, Paul EI5DI __________________________
Mike, following your logic, most of the "Guest Ops" should be in Multi-Op category. Yuri VE3DZ I don't know the answer either, but I suspect, if anything, it's a M/S category, not an "assisted" categ
Steve, the grass is always greener on the other side. :-) Those, who have never done "GUEST OPERATING" would always think it's some kind of heaven or at least a "warm shower". What I would say - "th
Oh yeah! It's totally in the spirit of today. If someone can't ride at 40 MPH, let's ban this speed for everybody! Yuri VE3DZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list
Does it mean that "Classic" sub-category operators won't be allowed to operate more than 24 hours? My understanding was that CQ WPX (same as in CQ WW DX) allowed more than 24 hours of operation and o

I would vote for 36-hour Classic Category (1 radio, no assistance) in both CQ WW and CQ WPX Contests. That would suit most of the complainers. Current 24-hour category I would call a "Handicap" Categ
Mark, who cares about competitive single op's? <grin> Like LU5DX mentioned a couple of days ago: "A big portion of the efforts of log checking (Countless hours) are spent to detect cheating by so cal
Good point. But to be totally honest, CWT is not really a Contest, but Club event. Can not be compared with CQ WW IMHO. 73, Yuri VE3DZ Do "they" need to do something about one of your favorites CWop
Thank you Jim. Well said. Exactly my feelings. Before criticizing, please try to put in at least one serious effort. I suspect those who complain will never compete seriously, no matter what. 73, Yur
There was a frequency cop like that who spent good couple of hours on my run frequency (7127.2) telling me about each and every American I worked that "he is out of band". I wonder if he would have s
Exactly. That's probably where the main difference lies. We, "old farts" (per Mike, VA3MW), are still looking at HAM Radio as at AMATEUR RADIO, where radio is the main word. We still have fun buildin
Dave, I am just reviewing spots after the Contest now and I noticed that I too was spotted with my own call several times. Would be interesting to find out who was doing it and why. Yuri VE2IM (a.k.
Hello Doug. Can you disclose the call? Many of us worked UZ2M. I know the owner and most of the operators of that station as honest and skilled men. Please tell us at least that it's not that call yo

Thanks, Tim. Just broke the pile-up with the first call! 73, Yuri VE3DZ Room reservations will be taken by the Hope Hotel for Hamvention week 2023 starting on Monday, June 6, 2022 at 9 AM EDT. Do not
I got room with 1 Queen bed around 9:00 and considered myself lucky. Then I realized that I could call an hour and a half before and get a room with 2 beds... Oh well. Good lesson. Never hurts to try
Hi John. Try VE3ZF (VE2IDX). Sorry, our "special calls" policy in Canada allows the same call sign to be re-issued to a different party every year. It creates a lot of confusion IMO. 73, Yuri VE3DZ O
