Hans, First - I know there was no il-intent. Others have done it without public complaints. However, ask yourself how fair it would be for one of the competitors in WRTC to be allowed to announce to
There are three ways this can occur: Guy calling CQ uses Skimmer in mode that copies everything on his run frequency in mode that doesn't require CQ or Test to be sent. Guy calling on Frequency assum
Well, I'll go one step farther. Self spotting one's CQ frequency is not a choice on CW due to implementation of skimmer and reverse beacon network which has made the notion of self spotting obsolete.
Zero, except if he sends a text it is more likely to have a typo either from him to you or you to computer. ;-) By the way, I have succumbed and now love skimmer and reverse beacon network. Stan, K5G
You can score the same contest in multiple ways if there is something to be gained by seeing what the results would have been if this or that. I don't think the goal should be to equalize everyone to
I am in Rome for a few days and would love to visit any local contester who would like to share a pizza or just visit this weekend. Staying at Star Hotel Michelangelo right next to the Vatican. Pleas
Juan, I had the same problem. If you go into the bios on your computer you will find an option that either makes the function keys work as you want or make them so you have to press the FN key to mak
I am only guessing at one time it was 150 watts input, when input power was the measure outlined in FCC rules, and rigs that had a pair of 6146 finals ran about 150 watts input. If the number was no
Al, Since all the popular radios will run 100w, I think the power limit should be 100w. Those who have 200 watt radios can turn them down, just like they would in CQ WW. Sure, antennas "can" make mor
Yuri - So you think UB7K is a Ukrainian call sign according to ITU allocation? Double check that before you make statements about people displaying their ignorance. This should not have anything to
Good decision! 73 and good luck in the contest, Andy. Stan, K5GO _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/
Brian, Everyone has an opinion. Your minority opinion appears to be based on some vision of the CQ Committee being equivalent to the United Nations or USA government, Andy on the same level as Vladim
Kelly, Anyone who thinks using the RBN or packet spots is an inherent detriment to a single operator is badly mistaken. If assisted scores are not at the level of non assisted it simply means that mo
I got a good chuckle looking at the log checking reports one time. My son had used my callsign and his check (93) in SS and then, a year or so later, I operated and used my check (67). I noticed that
Read it again to see if you agree that single band scores will be compared to all band scores for the same power level. The way I read it your low power 160 score would have to be as high as the win
Mike, No. If you made 1,000,000 points in a single band entry and the winner of the all band category had 5,000,000 points and the maximum number of points was 1,000 you would get 200 points. Stan, K
Jim, I read what you wrote several times. Guessing there will be another similar posting within a decade when someone will yearn for the good ole days when you could click on an Internet spot and pre
Milt, If you can imagine, there are some who want to make a case for assisted to be a detriment to a contester's score and those who believe that make their case by saying that there are few if any i
That would be Step 1 of the inevitable. Step 1A - Perfect it so it copies as many call signs as possible and prioritizes them according to rareness of multiplier. Work new multipliers first and also
Maybe....if money is no object. A winning setup could be had with the right location and two or three 60 foot towers. That won't happen on flat land. Stan, K5GO Sent from my iPad ____________________
