If the same rules are available to everyone, nobody is getting special treatment. If you CAN have a home-based station, all the power to you. If you can or cannot but use a legal remote setup, you're
I've kept on the sidelines of this, simply because I haven't been as active as I'd like, but... I think it's ok to set the privacy issue aside for a moment. However, I think Bob, W5OV made the best a
Sent from my iPhone With all due respect, Bob, it won't. It will just be more fodder feeding new and more ridiculous conspiracy theories. Remember how those 'in the know' claimed that open logs would
Not sure how you catch power cheats, but I do know how you don't catch them: by looking for an amplifier in their website photos. Lots of people have amplifiers and yet legitimately enter low power.
Even if someone has made an error, does that mean we throw civility to the wind and call him a complete joke? Let those without sin cast the first stone. 73, Kelly ve4xt -- Listen to THE ROAD TRIP on
If a CFZ is mandated in the rules, then it ought to be followed. However, I do have to add this: If I drive into downtown Winnipeg on a Winnipeg Jets game night (man, I love being able to say that ag
Where's the willingness? I'll tell you where: it's wrapped up in laws surrounding libel and slander. You need rock solid evidence to go public, and if you get sued, YOU have to prove that what you sa
I see why it's called a 'bull' session! No. The rules are pretty clear that you have to 'receive' assistance to be assisted. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ
Hi George, This question opened quite the hornet's nest the last time it was posed... The rules say what must be exchanged. (Serial no., precedence, callsign, check, section). Minus the example, you
It would be really interesting to see how many QSOs appear in the logs of "unassisted" operators with busted calls that match EXACTLY the busted spots! The spot is just to point out the station: you
Hi all, Anyone have any suggestions on a USB-serial converter for radio control? And, does anyone know if a USB to LPT converter would work with the DX Doubler? 73, kelly ve4xt ______________________
Hi all, Here's what I found: FTDI chipset is the way to go, and it seems most USB to serial convertors will work for rig control, but not for DXD control. But, if you're not yet set to dump the DXD (
I think we're overanalyzing the response here just a bit: if you notify the League as well as the other operators, the League is now in on the deal, so any post-contest edits would be immediately app
I can understand it if you send "K4?" and the station you heard was, say, K4XYX and my call is WK4Z or VK4ZZ or something. Guaranteed, I'm going to go back to you. But if you don't even have K4 in yo
Why not just not work guys you don't know the calls for? Seems to me that it's not the best practice to call anyone without knowing who they are. _______________________________________________ CQ-Co
Gary was first-rate all the way. I really enjoyed our time together at 6Y1V in 2008, and I'm greatly saddened by the news. 73 Gary Kelly ve4xt -- Listen to THE ROAD TRIP on CJOB every Saturday from 1
Hi all, I was on Junipero Serra Freeway yesterday when I spotted up on a treed hill to the east what looked like a major contest station. About two or three towers, possible 100¹ each or more. I thin
That makes sense. The stations working CQ8X have no means nor obligation to control the length of Toni's control cables, so his being remote shouldn't punish them. ___________________________________
Hi all, I really appreciate the ARRL having the intestinal fortitude to take a stand. Yuri: sorry, but I think Sean is right. Either you were a single operator bound by YOUR licence restrictions or K
