Jukka Yes, however, that's often easier said than done. Many, many times I've worked a running station and have had to correct him/her on a piece of the exchange, he's so busy in the pileup he either
But you don't mind the harm he's doing to you by ignoring your pleas to fix? If you've made an honest, good-faith effort to complete the Q, you can leave the frequency with your conscience clear. And

The "given location" is the out. You may not use more than one call sign (for the purposes of the contest) from the same station. I could not operate from VE4EA as both VE4EA and VE4XT, but this rule
Hi Art, Glad to have you visit us. Hope you have a good contest. What you propose, however... It's against the rules. Sorry. Plain and simple. The rules clearly state that off time means without oper
That might work for WW with a 'classic' overlay, but it's against the rules in SS. They specifically say off time is 'without operating.' 2.4. All entries may operate no more than 24 of the 30 hours.
I don't say this because I disagree with the current practice of only counting the first 24 hours for those who go over, though I recognize others have an issue with it. I just wish, because it would
This situation is where QUICK-MEM and/or bandstacking comes in handy: if you're calling someone and don't know who it is, you're just QRMing the folks on frequency who do. Dump his frequency into a m
Hi all, So this is the first time Iıve had a log worth entering. My copy of Win-Test doesnıt yet have the new Ontario sections, but it appears Cabrillo generator ignored the fact Win-Test didnıt know
Sounds from the chatterboards and an online CQ zone map that Zone 37 is correct, not Zone 21 as the loggers suggest. (Yemen apparently covers parts of both 21 and 37. So not copying what was sent fro
How does all this reconcile with the idea a QSO only happens when both stations SEND, receive, log and ack the exchange and callsign information correctly. Does a Q exist if one station does not send
That depends. If the receiving station heard the callsign, then the callsign was sent, even if people who came late to the frequency didn't hear it. An example: qrz, w1xyz (vy2zm and g3tuc are now li
I remember the lengthy discussion, and IIRC, there was no consensus: namely, that the inclusion of a sample wasn't necessarily an indication that the rules demanded it. However, I like the use of the
David is correct. The five elements are required, but sequence is inconsequential. This is proven by the validity of QSOs where you must walk the a casual op through it. They count as much as any oth

My perspective may be different than other NA ops, but here's why I think the 2pt credit should remain: Kim's multiplier argument is mooted by one simple fact: draw a decent circle of propagation aro
Hi all, Respectfully offering some input interspersed below: So? If they aren't entering the contest they can do what they want. They'd still have to find him, too, so it's not like he's self-spottin
Hi all, Trying to reach Ted, WB3AVD. Does anyone have an email for him, or, for privacyıs sake, be willing to pass along my email to him? Itıs for the writeup for the SS CW story for QST: I want to t
Another one of the greats is gone. About 20 years ago, digging through a pile of old QSTs ? many of which greatly pre-dated me ? I came across Jack's humour pieces. They were great. The title of one
Hi, Does anyone have recent contact info for Chad? I have what I thought was his email address, but no response. Anyone know if heıs on an extended holiday, perhaps? Thanks and 73, Kelly ve4xt ______
