I did, but I'll respond direct too. To not have the Cabrillo file include the double exchange is probably giving some people heartburn, since now we'll probably discuss how only hand written paper lo
I call foul! Tom is using this list to subliminally promote his callsign, always asking "WHY?". Besides, it is DURING the CQWW that I hear 'WHY send 59903 and DURING the SS I hear 'WHY send stuff tha
The answer is easy. If the other guy not sending his call upsets your sense of propriety, ask for his call. If enough people ask, it will slow him down enough that any advantage will vanish. Same fo
So, let me get this straight, David. You're saying that because the Cabrillo file format for SS doesn't sequence the log information in the same exact order it's sent, we can therefore ignore SS rule
I for one don't have a problem with this. If you disagree with the exchange or the rigid format the exchange is supposed to be sent in, then take it up with the League and argue your point. And pleas
OK. I just reviewed it, and it looks fine. Check with us again in 75 years, or whenever you're eligible to play in this contest, whichever is sooner. 73, de Hans, K0HB ______________________________

Well, this is quite a lively discussion. This was the 75th running of a domestic contest steeped in tradition. I like tradition. We had very high scores this year and participation appears to be up.
Hi Paul, What I donīt understand. Why do you always question the rules of a contest, especially if you donīt even participate? You want the report taken away from the WPX exchange and here the callsi
It doesn't much matter. You always win that one anyway! 73, Zack W9SZ "One man's mead is another man's Poisson." _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@con

Even though I think the doubled portion of the exchange is pretty odd, and a method of "cheating" is readily available by simply looking at the logged callsign, there is another matter here. If the c
There is no requirement to exchange the callsign twice! There is no odd "double portion" of the exchange! Where did you get the idea of someone getting DQ'ed for it? Sheesh. We need some reality here
You left off the part of the definition that says "to equalize the chances of the competitors". Using your partial definition then those with long calls are handicapped in ALL contests. But in your d
That's why you're such a good programmer :-) Your definition is incomplete. Handicaps are applied unequally to all competitors with the goal of producing an equalized competitive environment. Requir
What a spirited discussion! Its clear that SS is a different kind of contest, just as a Drag race is different than a Road Rally is different than a race like the Indy 500. It's also clear that the s

As I understand the controversy, using your scenario below, the exchange would be : N3LI: W5OV 123 Alpha 99 EPA (or is it WPA?) and that, in my mind, is clearly against the rules.... ________________
Some folk have said that they NIL other Ops who don't send their callsign as part of the exchange. That is in addition to the callsign in the log. Not me. I support changing the exchange to obviate t
