Can I submit a Single Band entry that includes QSOs from other bands? <http://www.cqww.com/rules.htm>, Rule X.2: "Single band entrants are required to include all contacts made during the contest pe
If no log is submitted for a station, then of course QSOs made with that station cannot be cross-checked. However, if a log has been submitted for a station, and QSOs with that station in other logs
You can't do that. They will only accept one log per call sign. If you submit a second log, it will overwrite the first one in the database of logs received - see the last sentence in the confirmatio
No, I'm quite sure that's not how it works, Mike. If VY1ZZ operates for more than 24 hours, inadvertently or otherwise, the contacts he makes after his first 24 hours of operating should not count to
I believe there has been some confusion between the rule and the enforcement policy. The rule is clear. The question at issue is about what happens when it is contravened. The contest sponsors do wha
This extra requirement doesn't seem to appear explicitly in the current rules (at least that I can find), It's Sweepstakes rule 4.3 - your call sign is one of the required elements in the exchange.
I can't speak for the contest sponsors, but I looked at claimed score postings on the 3830 reflector and in 2009, which is the last time February had only three full weekends, the CQ 160 SSB contest
Actually, it's a know fact that _some_ operators change their check to try and thwart the "appliance contesters" out there. :-) This is a classic example of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Hi Kelly, I may not have made my point well enough. Of course you should copy what was sent, and I agree that you aren't going to be penalized by the contest adjudicators if you send a different exch
Hi Mike, It's Part 97.107, third sentence: "No citizen of the United States or person holding an FCC amateur operator/primary station license grant is eligible for the reciprocal operating authority

Now that the K1N excitement is over, not to mention another major RTTY contest just last weekend, now it's time to get your head re-oriented to CW contesting in preparation for next weekend's ARRL DX
Actually, not so Gerry. Perhaps the authorities might not get bent out of shape if you used the standard international order, but the letter of the law is clear in both countries. For reciprocal oper
OK, the big SSB contest is over and we can plan for the rest of the week now. As usual, CWOps will be running three one-hour CWTs this week, but they will be a little different from usual. The latest

If someone asks you for QTCs and you don't have any or don't want to send some, a reply of SRI will get the message across. 73, Rich VE3KI Anyway my question is - what's the best way to send on CW th
This week's mini-CWT tests will be special slow-speed versions to celebrate the latest CW Academy graduating class (for more on CW Academy, see <http://www.cwops.org/cwacademy.html>). Please keep you
Steve, This is straying pretty far from the original topic (not that that's unusual for this reflector), but... you said "I've always assumed the serious ops would be assisted except for SS." I wonde
Steve, Why are you sending his exchange back to him? Are you hoping he will correct you if you got it wrong? If so, you are waiting until far too late in the QSO; after you say "thanks", if anyone el
