Three of them used the same Ip address and the other one was in the same block. Which means the same person. "A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over.
While I was not trying to lump all Caribbean stations together I can see how it could have been taken that way. That was not the intent of my comment. There seem to be a few interesting issues brough
Self spotting is not allowed by the rules. Packet is, self spotting is not. Cheerleading is not against the rules. Spotting yourself is. I even had a station ask me to spot him. My interpretation of
I don't have a recording of the exchange. I normally don't record contests. Maybe I should start. "A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over." Ben Frank
And everyone MUST have a computer. I guess if your computer dies during the test you are done But sure someone could do this. "A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you ma
Pretty simple. If nobody spots, then there are no spots. More spots encourages more spots. Spots help competitors in all classes and those not competing. I don't spot stations that I need for a mult
While dueling CQ's is fine. I think it is contrary to the intent of the rules. I think you should not be allowed to make same band contacts on the same frequency just because you made one on in betwe
SO2R IMHO has effectively exploited the rules. A single radio station does not have this capability to circumvent what I believe was the intent of the rules. I don't believe the intent of the contest
One question: Can the run station and the multiplier station transmit at the same time? Yes, but only if the multiplier station is calling a new multiplier. The multiplier station can not be used to
Yep I read the rules wrong. For some reason I thought you could have a multiplier station working stations on the same band at the same time the run station was running. Which I did not think was all
You can skip as much time as you want at the beginning. That time is not counted toward off time. For example: You get home late and start at 0400, instead of 0000z. You still have 36 hours of operat
Try this on for size, I was at the radio ready to go and a wind storm took the power out for 35 min, when I get power back it take's another 10 minutes to get the radio and amp going along with the c
The same thing could happen in the middle of your operating time and, yes, it would be subject to the 60-minute minimum off time rule. But your original example, where it occurs before you made your
Yes you can have a second transmitter that can only work multipliers on a different band. Once it makes a contact on that band it must stay on that band for 10 minutes before working another multipli
That is wrong in many ways assuming these stations were really competing and intend to submit a log. If not there is not much that can be done. (e) All operation must take place from one operating si
I think we need to address all forms of cheating. I was surprised by the calls of the stations that were doing this. You address what you can. Why has excessive power never been addressed? Simply bec

Hmmm I could have sworn I won. My rules stated that if I sent in $100 I would be named the winner. Did you get the robot message that while your participation was appreciated the robot could only acc
Steve, You hit the nail on the head with what is wrong with the world. We have people and agencies doing things they have absolutely no authority to be doing what it is they are doing. I am not empow
I am impressed. I have always wondered but never took the time to lookup calls when I run on 40m below the General subband on 40 on SSB to see how many were our of their band allocation. CC Packet Cl
