I'm doing the SS CW write-up for QST. I'd like to include some info on the youngest and oldest CW ops in the contest. Anyone know of ops under age 15? If you can give me their email address that woul
Hi Craig, If you want to join that "group of contesters that seem to know each other and communicate and share stations and help each other" all you need to do is ask if a station is available or if
Well, Mal, I defer to your judgment. You are the expert on making silly statements. 73, Ken, K6LA / VY2TT _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting
Hi Dan, My personal opinion is that for NAQP and NA Sprint, like Sweepstakes, all scores, US, Canadian and other NA, should be lumped together. US and Canadian scores are lumped together for the ARRL
Readers of this reflector need to be more careful in reading what is ACTUALLY written in posts. Don't READ THINGS INTO what is written in posts. Don't MISQUOTE posts. This is simply common sense (oft
The WRTC Committee's rules on team selection reads as follows: b) National WRTC Teams : To honor the host countries and organizing committees from previous WRTC events, one team will represent the ho
The WRTC 2006 Rules state the following: 3) Selection Criteria II - National Sponsored Teams: WRTC2006 will select three National Sponsored Teams by an Internet auction. The three teams with the high
Hi Oms, And exactly what is it I am confused about? You published a rule. You changed the rule without prior publication for the benefit of a particular person. Prior to my public post I corresponded
Hi Oms, It is easy to say I am totally wrong. But what in my post was wrong? The essence of my post was quoting you. Perhaps it is a problem with language. I have no facility for a 2nd language, exce
Well, Jim, N6TJ, you are a charter member of the old boys club and I don't mean OLD boys club. As to my discussion with you and Martti, OH2BH, regarding your WRTC 2002 selection, that was in a PRIVAT
In a stunning and unprecedented upset, heretofore unknown XYL contester, April, F0OL, has beaten previously undefeated K1DG in the Poisson D'Avril contest. This accomplishment was made possible when
With regard to manufacturers "sponsoring" line score listings in QST - this is not so far fetched an idea. Now in the QST Sweepstakes writes ICOM has a box prominently displayed at the top of the art
Yuri, K3BU makes a number of good points. Apart from an unusual event such as WRTC where the operators behind the calls are unknown (and the operators can't see the scoreboard anyway) why would a ser
It is true that in every other sport I can think of, participants know how the competition is doing. On the other hand, our form of competition is the only one I can think of that requires you to rai
This is a most unfortunate situation. However, the solution is NOT to simply remove uniques from logs. There are two solutions to prevent identifying participants: 1. Make the WRTC event CW only 2. U
STOP RIGHT THERE! How do you claim a 'busted call' to get a card?? If your call isn't in their log, how do you get a card??? I know that if I receive a QSL and it doesn't match my log, but at the sa
But what about actually getting plaques that have already been sponsored? I sponsor two CQP plaques and they actually go out to the winners about 6 months after the contest. 73, Ken, K6LA / VY2TT ___
I apologize to John, K1AR. I should have changed the Subject of my email to CQ WPX Plaque program. 73, Ken, K6LA / VY2TT _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Con
Just a note to give credit to a stand-up QSL printer. I've used Tony Stefanov, LZ1JZ for a few years for my VY2TT QSL printing. His prices are terrific even with shipping from LZ. He took my photos a
I just got an email indicating that my article "Learning From Your Log Checking Report" was the September QST Cover Plaque Award Winner!!! Thank you all for your vote. What a hoot!!! 73, Ken, K6LA /
