It is *WELL KNOWN* in the contest community that there are a select few ops who usually post their score to 3830 either after others in their 'WRTC Zone' / Province / State or Country have posted to
If you (or anyone) was referring to my post about category shopping and 3830, true, nobody is required to post to 3830 - I agree. I use it,. I love it. I wish everyone would use it. I enjoy the post-
Good for you Art ! I am in the "obvious typos camp"...I either correct it on the fly or during pauses while CQing, or in rare exceptions at the very end of the contest make the 2 or 3 corrections wit
As usual, Kelly spins some wonderful words that I could not possibly improve upon. I like reading all contesting stories, good, bad, LP, HP and especially the QRP guy. The ones that impress me the LE
Tim and your group, Not sure what ".leading a contest sig." means..I'll presume it's a typo. If you are interested in just having fun and you are very new to contesting, do mostly (or even all) S&P.
Ahhhhhh, Special Interest Group. Very good Tim. Have fun in Sweeps. . Mike VE9AA , NB Mike, Coreen & Corey Keswick Ridge, NB From: Timothy Holmes [mailto:taholmes160@gmail.com] Sent: November 15, 201
Anyone get their NCJ in Canada (or DX locations) yet? (or has this printing issue some weeks back held things up now ?) Thanks Mike VE9AA Mike, Coreen & Corey Keswick Ridge, NB ______________________
The last few weeks I have discovered more and more why I like Contesting more and DXing less. (you'd think I would've realized this years ago; maybe I am just a slow learner)...the reasons below are
Just arrived here in VE9 land. Odd that I got several direct emails from the UK from friends that have had theirs several days already. Perhaps the delivery by dogsled to the far reaches of New Bruns
I was wondering something along the same lines Gerry. I tuned across some loud EU's both days (vy easily worked), well before SSet and then thought, heck, I'll try CQing. Found a slot, started hammer
Great interview Frank. I learn something new every time I listen to one of your CTU presentations, or an interview like today. I only wish it had been a bit longer, hi. Well done and I am glad I tune
Doug has nailed it from my point of view. Every big contest at least several times, I'll stumble across someone with just their call so I don't know if: A) They are an SO2R op just keeping their run
Damn ! That's rotten news. I knew from reading his 3830 WW SSB report he wasn't in perfect health, but I had no idea. We had a short email exchange just before CQWW CW and he never answered my questi
de Mike VE9AA I do contests mostly UNassisted. I like it this way. The only ones I (grundingly) do assisted are the handful of ones, mostly Euro based that make no distinction between assisted and no
Because Tom, it changes the whole dynamic and mechanics of the contest. Right now, rare sections will be discovered by all single ops by spinning the VFO and using their ears. If there were to be a S
The Stew Perry contest is not an ARRL event, so entering in Multi Op does not mean "Single Op + Packet" I was surprised at a few mini packet pileups I had last night. Now I know why. After reviewing
Any QSO's made with me last evening on 160m will NOT count as RAC contest contacts as I never once sent "NB", but only sent my grid square as I was doing the Stew Perry contest only. When I was runni
".Unfortunately, this contest also dumps SO packet into a class with multiops. Their contest their rul ." VE9AA replies: Mike - thanks for the Q last night. Not sure how you found me w/o packet. (hi
Agree 100% Ken. If you look at 3830 (which is only a fraction of the actual entrants) you'll see many multiops that only list one operator.(mostly the LP gang I think) True, I suppose its possible so
Yes Gilles, I agree 100% and I am always ready/flexible with a second exchange for when contests overlap. My point was, I was running and giving my FN66 as my exchange (ready to send NB if need be) I
