From the readme.txt file: VERSION HISTORY 1.68 - TU + MyCall after the QSO is now equivalent to CQ 1.67 - small changes in the HST competition mode. Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Lakewood, CO ____
I see no problem with using a CW decoder, until someone is able to run a 200 hour using one :.) I know several guys who used them as a crutch to get them started in CW contesting, and now they do wel
I can copy a CQ, my callsign, and a 599 in my head (at regular RTTY speeds). I recall one RTTY DX pileup where there was a lot of QSB and even though his reply didn't print my call, I knew he came ba

There are no "secrets." Perhaps Ubaldo Jimenez (Colo Rockies pitcher, ERA 1.16) should be placed in a big black box on the mound, with only an opening in the front, so no one can see how he pitches.
Personally, you're log doesn't interest me. OTOH, if I put in a competitive effort (no longer possible since I moved to a new QTH) I would find it interesting to see some of the top scorer's logs in
Outrageous for such a downtrodden town. Pete's idea is a good one. Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Lakewood, CO _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@con
That's why it should be a CW-only contest - to maintain anonymity of the participants. Otherwise, it's just another DA0HQ-like fiasco. It will be interesting to see K1TTT's analysis. Barry W2UP -- Ba
UA9BA spotted R36F 13 times. He spotted other WRTC stations a maximum of 6 times. UA9CDC spotted R36F 14 times. He spotted one other WRTC stations a maximum of 3 times, and others 0, once, or twice.
Yes, it is a hobby, but a lot of people spent a lot of time, money, and lugged their eqpt half-way around the world for it. That's a lot of effort for a competition.where some participants have an un
See http://www.wrtc2010.ru/?id=51&idp=46 And, R36F = UA9CLB - UA9CDV. What a surprise! -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Lakewood, CO _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Co
Jim, What you are missing is the fact that Cluster spots have increased your QSO rate very significantly, compared with the pre-Cluster days. Increased dupes, unfortunately, come along for the ride.
Paul, I disagree. Some of the big USA multiops have excellent operators. Some have mediocre and poor operators. Some jump on a new packet spot as soon as it hits their screen and throw in their call
Why have any exchange at all? CQWW is, in reality, an exchangeless contest anyway... Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Lakewood, CO _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing l
So there is something to be said for pointing and clicking your way through a contest (sorry, couldn't resist). I used a FT1000D with INRAD filters for many years. I replaced it with an IC7800 and, i
If technology does everything, why aren't all the scores the same? Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Lakewood, CO _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@con
I've always thought the guy COPYING the QRP station should get extra points... Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Lakewood, CO _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ

Let's be real. Nobody listens to their own call during the exchange. They are busy with radio #2 or something else. Like 599, if it's sent, it's just a placeholder. Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP L
You need to shorten your VOX delay :.) I think guys who don't send their own call in the exchange should be DQ'd, if they submit a log. It's in the rules and not doing it is a violation that allows a
