The only authority who counts when it comes to deciding multipliers is the contest organizer. If an organizer determines he or she would like to combine regions into one multiplier, that's what it sh
Considering how SO2R QSOs are interwoven, it's possible no rules were broken. If station 1 is beginning the Q on radio 2 during his Q with station 2 on the first radio, it's more than possible he cou
Hi all, Anyone who I havenšt already talked with use a homebrew radio for SS? Thanks and 73, Kelly ve4xt _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.
Ron, Ron, Ron, Don't you know by now? Never let facts get in the way of a good conspiracy theory... ;=) 73, kelly ve4xt _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Cont
They either do it on purpose or they're so convinced of their technological greatness they've convinced themselves their audio is perfect. Either way, mentioning it won't have much effect: it will ei
Keith raises an interesting point, and it would be interesting to hear a legal opinion. Sec. 97.113 specifically precludes communications for hire or for material compensation. So, clearly, Yaesu may
Is the point of Radiosport to work as hard and as honourably as you can and, most of all, to have fun? Or is it to maximize BIC time wringing hands and sweating blood over every possible permutation
The only person affected by a ban is the guilty party. The ban only means he can't enter a log. No contest sponsor has the authority to tell anyone they can't operate in a contest, merely that they c
I was initially troubled by what appears to have been a perversion of the presumption of innocence, but in re-reading Randy's post, what's not seen are the initial attempts to contact UT5UGR. That Ra
It appears at least one ham has some difficulty with English comprehension, so I'd like to clarify: Nowhere does this post suggest Dmitry IGNORED Randy's email. Just that it appears Dmitry didn't rec
Steve's point is excellent. What we don't see here, between the QSO Randy had with ZP0R on 14.047 and LU9HP on 14.073, is the possibility Randy was tuning rapidly through his own, self-generated (and
Hello Jose, I'm curious as to whether you've really found the smoking gun here. At 0638, after six minutes of exclusively 40m QSOs, presumably during which he's also tuning on 80, he finds OH0X on 3,
With all due respect to Randy and the WW committee, it seems the entire case boils down to two questions: How probable is it that a guy with 15 million points is going to ignore an email threatening
Can anyone recall when a contester's reputation has imploded so spectacularly before? 73, kelly ve4xt _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com
Herb, It does sound incredulous, to say the least. But even ground-wave signals can be subject to reflections and attenuations and cancellations and additions such that it's not completely outside th
Way too restrictive. There's no need to tell people they can't check the weather forecast, watch CSI during low-rate times or follow up on emails. Assistance only means getting callsign and frequency
If what Dick suggests is true, that WW has become a typing contest, and it really is the intent to prevent the correction of honest fat-finger flubs, then that is the height of silliness? The CQ rule
A rule that requires anyone with a sniff of an award to record the entire contest, just to prove their innocence, would be like the court system requiring all citizens, innocent and otherwise, to wea
In a word, no. Wouldn't the consequence of having to declare the intent to be No. 1, either by declaration or by carrying with you whatever technological baggage is required by the rules video record
So if the SDR recording shows that the call sign entered was the call sign sent, how does that prove whether it was edited? If I work you and, for whatever reason, use the paddle to send WC1M 599 4,
