All this for a plaque or piece of paper to hang on a wall. I wonder what lengths people would go to win a real prize. W0MU _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-C
They need to clarify what Web technology means. The first rule sounds to me more like an attempt to prohibit the use of remote receiving sites. With the aging ham population, more and more areas havi
I am in the fire service and we joke about this..../fire service/ being /200 years/ of tradition unimpeded by progress Apparently many in Ham radio have no desire for progress or change unless it is
Everyone can do this each and every day. Nobody forces anyone to use Spots from anywhere, RBN or the old fashioned 2m spots or telnet. It is up to you to decided how you want to operate. What works f

I can envision renting the PJ2T remote contest station, not having to drag a bunch of gear to a dx location and operate from my desk and saving the cost of airfare. Ok I won't get great warm vacation
You would feel cheated if he told you he was remote but you would be fine if he did not? Ultimately you just said there is no difference. Why do you care where the operator is located? You get credit
I used my cluster W0MU-1, w0mu.net, shameless plug . Keep in mind that most clusters are all tied together so one bad spot will propagate to nearly every other spot outlet available. I have used the
I thought KC1XX was shown in a more recent picture doing something similar. It might not have been KC1XX but I think this is not all that uncommon. Fire departments find all sorts of uses for ladders

Maybe those that no longer get enjoyment out of the hobby should move along. I happen to think it is just fine. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@cont
This is only allowed if ingested by RF though! :) W0MU _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/c
So the ARRL was wise enough to understand that DXCC is just an award. People move, technology changes and so have their rules. Apparently you have no problem penalizing people for having to move beca
I think what he was asking is if it was possible to run two single band entries using the same club callsign. I see many issues with this. I believe using separate calls is the only way to do this. _
No. What he means is just call CQ and not try to get in the piles if you are getting beat out all the time. I may try qrp again and that is about the only way to make contacts. Alternate cq's at leas
This is all well and good and I went to the other site. So what? There seems to be lots of beating around the bush going on. Why not address this head on? What I have noticed in life is that things c
By making it harder for people to participate....participation will be low...........which is never a good thing. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@co
Harder was a bad choice of words. It won't be hard for me at all as I probably won't make a single contact. Sponsors chase participants away with overly restrictive rules that are really created for
W0MU and N1NK and their XYLS's are planning a trip to St. Lucia. We are planning on operating in the CQ WW CW contest. Operation outside the contest is up to each operator. We have rented the Chateau
How about providing possible solutions to issue. How would you solve this issue? What would be acceptable to you? Do you want the entire country to be allowed to submit scores? a 1000km radius? etc.
