Paul, It is apparent that you have not read my previous response to you regarding skimmer. It is not the use of it to copy CW to make individual qsos that is the problem. You and your "respected CW b
Ron, I'm sorry, but I do not agree. I don't think this is too much to ask for any entrant - never mind the multi-multis. As Steve rightly points out, they would just do what the rules require and not
What is it about having to send your log in right after the contest is over that would deter or "discourage" anyone from doing so? What's the big deal? Sending an email - with your log attached - rig
Saul, I think you may have misunderstood my position on this perhaps by the twisting of what I said by others. I *do not support* required submission of logs within one hour of the end of contests fo

Wow! As Gary, K1EB(sk) so eloquently summed up the Hamvention from the bleachers in Hara Arena back in 1983 or so, "what a fest!" "Amateur Radio + People = Fellowship." In my conversations with many
Pete, Nothing needs to change for what you say to happen aside from all contest participants submitting their logs to LOTW. The question is: How does one encourage that? I doubt that contest sponsors
I thought Skimmer discussion was banned from CQ Contest? Paul, While I normally have a high level of respect for your opinion, this is, simply and respectfully put, bollocks. Not true? Do not radios,
Joe (W4TV), I would like for you to cite your source for your definition of what assisted means. "The use of DX alerting assistance of any kind places the station in the Single Operator Assisted cate
Joe, I have to presume that what you state is merely your opinion. If you are basing what you say on a published definition of the rule, I would appreciate you providing a reference to where it is pu
Pete, I want to address "the most important thing of all" as you describe it. You said: " we need to stop pretending that rules can be written that anticipate technology that will arrive 5 or 10 or 2
Yuri, You said: "Assisted - was meant to mean another OPERATOR - person, not assistance by computer, keyer, software, foot switch. (B fortifies that) " B is defining Single Op Assisted. It is not def
Joe, ""Assisted" is simply a shorthand for defining the participation by an additional person or persons in an "operator" role who is not actually making the contacts." No, it's not. If you involve a
Just some factual input: The ARRL rules already make the situation for single ops very clear. 2.1.Single Operator: One person performs all transmitting, receiving, and logging functions as well as eq
Joe, You are persistent if nothing else. You are 100% incorrect however. I refer you once again to the skimmer website where it lists the following as one of its features: "The extracted callsigns ar
It is neither A nor B. The point of these rules is simply that a single operator should do everything himself. Why is this such a difficult mystery to unravel? Such a rule could have been written dur
Hans, As it has been quoted here recently, the CQWW Rules pretty much defeat your argument. "By submitting a log to the CQ WW Contest, the entrant agrees to have the log open to the public"(CQWW Rule
Hans, I would be most interested in what you perceive as being negative about the logs being public. I am not aware of anything negative resulting for any of the participants of the last two years of
What data in a log causes any concern about anyone's privacy? QSO data? Who you worked is private? Because of what? I'm sorry, I don't see anything possible in any log that is of any privacy concern
K0HB quoted KR2Q: having their "secrets" revealed. That's got to be one of the most mean-spirited and bloated-head statements I've ever seen on this reflector! -- Actually, what Doug said is neither
