You mean we have another YEAR of low SSN coming? UGH!! 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mail
It's those unusual prefixes that throw people sometimes, when they are unexpected. I knew 5K0T was active from Serrana Bank and was excited to see they were actually in the contest. I did hear them s
Not to mention the fact these calls spell out FOCUS, WILL, HIHA, CLEAR. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.co
Don't assume that someone calling someone else a minute after the contest is trying to make a contest QSO. I think I sent an e-mail earlier outlining my attempt to work a station signing XX9A a minut
That's one thing I like about SS, VHF contests, NAQP etc. which do not have a "signal report" as part of their exchange. The exchange is usually something you actually have to copy. I may know what g
I think such a contest would be great fun myself! 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/l
I have always tried to be courteous to those who aren't contesters. A majority of hams aren't contesters and many feel at the least "irked" by the bands being wiped out for them on weekends when ther
Then why do I get so many SWL cards every year for QSO's I made in the ARRL DX contest? (Sorry, I couldn't resist!) 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing li
Yes, that's right. I remember that. I think that was before 1X1 calls became used (1993). I might be wrong. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Co
My answers below. That's what I do - never had a problem with it being rejected. 2) If a DX station sends "K" as their power, do I log K or KW? I've ususlly logged it as KW. 3) If a DX station sends
Quite a few US ops when called by US/Canadian stations in ARRL DX will work them just to get them to stop calling, then save the entire log but delete all those QSO's in the log submission to ARRL. I
Neither of the sites I know of - http://www.kp5.us http://www.logsearch.de give you a day. They just give a band/mode. It looks like you have two QSO's on 40 CW in the log. Did they give you a contes
Reminds me of working 4S7AX some years ago in CQWW CW, I think. Beam heading was right, but it could've been a JA fooling around. Never was able to find anything on him anywhere. 73, Zack W9SZ ______
Reminds me of the infamous 4Q2LID that occasionally made an appearance on the air. Is K9VV on this reflector? 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-
Hmm ... I didn't participate in that contest, but I use CT and it always asks me to enter my address and then it puts that in the Cabrillo log file. I would assume they would go by the address you ga
Well, in one case you know at once that NO station from the USA can validly operate there. In the other case, some US stations can validly operate there, so you leave that up to them as to whether th
Sorry, I'm a RADIO amateur. I'm into RADIOsport, So I, for one, won't be in anyone's logs in those contests. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-C

I believe so as long as the person stays within his or her own license's operating privileges (e.g. WD9@@@ as an Advanced class licensee cannot use W9SZ in the Extra parts of the band.) I don't know
I guess that brings up an interesting question regarding Field Day. If you are entering in, for instance, the 5A category using a callsign issued to an Extra-class station and there is one Extra clas
