Fallacious arguments. We don't put our finances in public display...period. No comparison to operating in a VERY PUBLIC event. This is getting TEDIOUS and old...15 years old. Time to shut this thread
There is change and then there is flogging the dead horse... BTW...with SKIMMER technology "anyone" can setup a skimmer receiver on all bands and record (as in recreate) anyone that is heard and buil
Problem SOLVED!!! Hans considers his log 'work product'...once upon a time the FCC rules stated that on air communications could not be used for 'work related' communications...therefore all contests
God help us all if we don't get some sunspots soon!!! ~8-} If the rules (that you put your signature to on the contest submission form) say that by agreeing to them your log will be available for pub
Nobody's chipping away at anything David. Are you 'forced' to submit your logs??? Have you EVER been forced to submit your logs? When you submit your logs you are agreeing to abide by the rules as se
4. Electronic log submission: We want your electronic log. The Committee requires an electronic log for any possible high-scoring log. By submitting a log to the CQ WW Contest, the entrant agrees to
No...a better analogy is that the person needs to show his 'invitation' to the formal event before being admitted...in this case the invitation is the log. ___________________________________________
Looking for any ON multi-op stations that might have a need for an extra op for ARRL CW in two weeks. I will be in Brussels from the 17th through the 22nd. Please respond direct to Mart @ w1md@arrl.n
You can always check your log data and see if the 'guest op' really WAS 4 Khz away from the SSTV frequency...if you so desired. MD _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing l
The "sticky wicket" here is that you don't necessarily 'know' that someone is operating out of their license restrictions...unless you verify against a current license data base. Sure, if you are a U
Well, except at it's inception back in the early 80's the "Packet Spotting Network" was just that...x.25 Amateur Radio Packet Spotting. We tend to forget the roots of things...of course I happened to
The 'numbered' rules below are from ARRL M/S and the 'lettered' rules below are CQWW. I like the CQ format because it allows for more aggregate operating time and FUN... Look at either set though and
I suppose the whole "it's against the rules as defined by the FCC" isn't a consideration anymore...if we're willing to make statements like the "it's only 3db". 1501 Watts is as much against the rule
And THAT is most assuredly still your choice...for the time being anyway. W1MD As for me, I'll be sitting behind a radio somewhere having fun in a contest... _________________________________________
Dave, No one is forcing you to allow anyone into your QTH. When 'you' decide that you want to enter into a contest (whether it be ARRL or CQ or some other sponsor) you decide that you are willing to
Not at all Ron, but all the discussion here seems to be on the PREMISE that CQ can't change their rules...or that there is some unwritten contract between the contester and the sponsor. We won't chan
So...the same logic could be used in say...NASCAR when they have to have the cars inspected prior to a race. Now why would ANY self respecting racers take a chance and have something 'not right'...an
Great story Tony...keep them going. Great to hear that... MD _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/list
So...maybe this is a "good" argument for allowing self-spotting. Say, allow each contestant in the contest the option to post their call/freq. every 30min's . (no more reports of the 'most spotted ca
Hi Dennis...you better 'find' me this weekend...!!! :) BUT...if you are S&P'ing then you wouldn't get 'spotted' anyway... Of course there is more to flesh out before SELF SPOTTING becomes incorporate
