I'm right? Really? Please, I need that in writing, properly notarized. Two copies -- one for my wife, one for my ex-wife. (No point in giving one to my mother-in-law, she wouldn't believe it anyway!)
Then request the ARRL change the rules to state that the check can be any random 2 digit number. Of course, if this is done and it's not specified, some wise acre will send a "Check" of '0B" or "C7"
Actually, the ARRL has said the intent of the rule was to provide a means for including a two-digit element in the exchange similar to the header on a message, not necessarily to get people to send t
No it really comes down to what does the ARRL think. They are pretty clear on it. Pick a check and use it for the contest. Don't change the check. Have fun. Pretty clear. They could rewrite the r

The rules are always ambiguous. Some things go beyond the rules. Some are common sense. Not using external sources for the data you're supposed to be copying on-air seems like common sense. This is l

Well, at least on that we agree. Copy what was sent. It may not be the same as the year before. Before I shortened my old call to this one, I couldn't tell you how many times, in Pa QSO, that someone
Ah.Sweepstakes season. Nothing generates posts on this reflector like any topic about Sweepstakes. It's the contest with the least submitted logs every year yet generates the most posts. Why is that?
If folks will purposely change their Check, and whatever else to just mess everyone up with false information, maybe I should get on for SS and send "NB" ? It's not a valid exchange for this particul
