It does not refer to that at all in the CQ WW rules. The rules say (verbatim): "The use of DX alerting assistance of any kind places the station in the Single Operator Assisted category." It doesn't

How very interesting! The logging software I used for CQ WW SSB at P40PA this year is apparently VERY STUPID -- because it thought EVERY callsign starting with W4 I typed in was CQ ZONE 5. 73 Scott
There are no technology differences between the single op unassisted and single op assisted categories with one exception: the delivery of callsigns and frequencies from an outside source as used in

I'm sorry -- I don't parse. The CQ WW rules are written in plain English. DX alerting assistance of any kind is not permitted. It says OF ANY KIND. Thank you -- you proved my point. The computer is n
Before I order or build them, anyone have DX Doubler-to-radio cables with the DIN connector on one side for either the Orion with a 4 pin connector on the other or the 8 pin connector Yaesu version (
For WAEDC CW -- Besides my .LOG Cabrillo file with contact information, which other file for QTC information needs to be submitted along with it? TIA Scott W4PA ______________________________________
Thank you for all the replies. Had I bothered to OPEN my Cabrillo file and read the contents of my WAEDC CW log prior to sending a message to the contest reflector, I would have noticed that the QTC

Sorry, I'm a few days behind on email. Life has been hectic plus I managed to come down with some kind of icky bug over the weekend; after spending a couple of days in denial about being sick I fina
If they are after precision, they can start with "kHz", not "KHz". These jokers gave me a hard time for two straight hours when I had the misfortune to use 14298.0 for my run frequency on Sunday d
I'm a little behind the curve here ... EF8M (RD3AF) was DQed with the top World single op score for CQ WW CW 2008 .... .... and he's posting the #1 claimed score for 2009 ... .... with an obser
Logs should be public. There are no secrets. Everything I know (knew?) about radio contesting I either learned on the air or I asked someone else. Those guys who are perennial top operators answered
Any contesters coming to Huntsville Hamfest want to split room cost? I have a double reserved at the Holiday Inn across the street from the arena all to myself at the moment for Fri and Sat nights. T

[SNIP] Long hours of intense on-air competition are rewarded solely with ego-stroking and paper certificates; this is almost entirely competition for competitions sake. To satisfy increasing operator
