W4TV responded to VR2BG's comments to NQ3X engaging W5OV: Except that skimming is not just a code reader, the reception equivalent of a memory (or voice) keyer. Memory keyers have to be programmed &
VO1HE engaged VR2BG, commenting on NQ3X engaging W5OV: The rule clearly defines which functions are expected to be done by the operator. Spotting is one of them. If I may, nowhere does it say that th
W6FB responded to N0AX responding to someone we can no longer tell (maybe W4TV?): SO2R predated computer logging by many decades. What computer logging has done has made it possible for more people t
W5OV asked K0RC: Maybe no big deal as seen from somewhere GMT-minusa-few-hours, but from somewhere GMT-plus-quite-a-few-morehours, come 24:00 Sunday it's a mad scramble to get to work & not be too la
I had written this a while time back, when we heard skimming for single-ops was okay for 2008 WPX CW. K5ZD has since requested suggestions for rule changes, but seeing how what we do is based on rule
<snip bit on ARRL rules concerning use of any kind of alerting assistance not allowed for SOs> Like "packet" now apparently means "alerting assistance" to some instead of a digital mode that provides
N0AX responded to K0RC: Talk about treating the symptom rather than the disease... How does the definition change if the label changes? What is different if you call it "Single Op Ralph"? Nothing - a
WC1M said about skimming: Which contest/rule are you referring to? 73, VR2/KBrett7Graham/p. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://li
WC1M answered KB7G questioning which current contest/rule he said did not prohibit SOs from skimming: Ah ha, I get it: "Use of A or B (followed by a list things) is not permitted" Does not mean: "Use

There is really no point in debating, as anything goes now. I stumbled across a demonstration on the Internet of how to use an analysis tool on a contest log. It was before the submission deadline of
This "JA band plan" that I see mentioned is not a band plan but a regulation. Until their MPT changes the regulation, the JAs are going to operate where they are allowed. Not that I want to spoil thi
That is not true. Previously we had 7050-7100 exclusive amateur. Now we have _no_ portion of 40m that is exclusive amateur. I missed a footnote, in UJ & EX 7000-7100 will also be fixed service, secon
Reports here of our country's disregard for recent changes to the Table of Frequencies of the ITU-RR are greatly appreciated. The matter has been raised with Hongkong's telecom authority, as we were
What I find interesting about this discussion is how apparently nobody seemed to notice that this list was used to solicit & receive input for some potential post-contest log massaging just a little
Brain got way ahead of fingers previously, let me finish & continue with two other examples from right here on cq-contest. I suggest reading my previous post (repeated below) before continuing. It ap
PA5KT commented: The IARU Region 1 band plan is not binding on anyone. It is only a band plan. For some reason, inside Region 1 it is felt to be more than what it is. The root cause of this was raise
N4ZR replied to EI5DI: What was already in some contest rules: the bit about how the single operator is to do all the functions of operating: finding, working & logging stations. It's this activity t
What we know for the moment is that ".. the entry will not be allowed". This implies that RA3CO's score from HK3RA will not be found in the results, not that RA3CO was DQed. It does put CQ WW in a bi
