Sorry, Tree, the correct answer would be "Between VY1 and VY0." 73, kelly ve4xt _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contest
Hi Steve, I think it's important to take the WHOLE of what Tree said, not just bits of it. First off, he said a pattern of the circumstances COMBINE to suggest cheating. But he also said that it only
Let's see: type in TR and it will probably show N6TR, K5TR, K2TR, N7TR among others. Type in LR and it will likely show K6LRN, K3LR, AA4LR and others. So you still have to copy the callsign. As someo
As much as I do not necessarily favour cut numbers, I'm at a loss to see why the ARRL requiring us to translate cut numbers into integers on CW differs in any way from the ARRL requiring us to transl
Hi Tree, While I can certainly agree with the thrust of what you're saying, a question: It's 3 p.m. on Sunday and you hear in passing the J is five khz above you (say 14.285). He's the only guy you k
I find it interesting that an argument often proferred against the inclusion of a particular rule centres ('ers' for my non-QE-speaking friends) around enforceability. The true test of character is h
Some comments: 1. Are you entering in to an "operating agreement" by casually asking "Know where there's a KP4?"? If you say yes, then your conscience should compel you to enter as assisted. I think,
Sorry, but what's to enforce here? Should ARRL then be enforcing 'honest' RST? How would the log checker know that you were really only 335C and not ENN? And in ARRL DX, should DX stations be requir
It's rejected when the League says it's rejected. 8.1. Deadline for submission of CW entries is Wednesday December 6, 2006 Deadline for submission of Phone entries is Wednesday December 20, 2006. Ent
Hi Mike, Read the rule: it says logs received after the deadline MAY be classified as a checklog. It does not say WILL be classified as a checklog. The League is obviously giving itself some discreti
Exactly. In 25 years of radio, I've never heard, before this silly thread, any mention by anyone that a directional CQ during a contest was the least bit unethical. Or that there was anything wrong
It wouldn't be difficult, but it would be undesirable. 1. Will the log checkers take into account all my CTRL-N notes to myself? If not, then... 2. These are supposed to be a radio contests, not typ
The best answer would be to contact him during the contest if possible and say, "Look, I kinda screwed up. Were you in SJV or SCV?" Or whatever the missing info was. You can't contact him after the c
Hi Paul, You're right about mulligans. I'm sure there are a few shots Phil Mickelson wants to put back in his bag... I go back to my earlier thought: notes, whether Post-It notes you've scribbled an
Rick, Beware of unintended consequences: No more DX-peditions to anywhere but places with internet access? Well, if it has internet access, there's a better chance it already has a ham population, so
I agree with Dave G4BUO that there's a fundamental difference between SO and SO-Assisted entry classes, and I have no inclination to support contests which do not recognise this. I would agree with t
(The following comment involves a theme where a serious understanding of the term 'sarcasm' is required. Viewer discretion is advised.) But Tree, isn't financial independence a pre-requisite to cont
I'd turn off the radio and go play with my kids. When I came back to deal with my log, I'd have a better understanding of that which is truly important and that which is not. 73,kelly ve4xt versus co
No, Glenn, that is not assisted. You weren't serious, were you? 73, kelly ve4xt _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesti
Again, yes, and no. As Paul says, the ARRL rules refer to callsigns and exchange information being sent, received, acknowledge and logged correctly for a complete QSO. But other than during the durat
