Ken, You may have missed the point of the first two paragraphs. It wasn't to discuss where and when to use 2BSIQ. The point was that anyone that wants to take the time to get really good at it (reall
Hi Guys. The 2BSIQ, have the same advantage, than criterial to apply rules, the USA people have an absolutely bigger advantange from rest world, criterial to DQ a guy outside USA will never use to DQ
I agree with Kevin. I say this even though 2BSIQ has put a dent in my prospects for winning SOAB HP USA in CQ WPX CW. I've managed to stay close to the top with my middling station and skills since 2
Dick, I don't think they ought to ban 2BSIQ or SO2R. Just make it a separate class like SOA. All the guys that are the elite operators do 2BSIQ anyway so they will be still competing against each oth
Jeff, You have it backwards- with 2BSIQ there is much more strategy involved. You have to decide on TWO bands to run! And you also have to decide beween CQ/S&P SO2R and 2BSIQ. I did some 2BSIQ in the
I do believe that SO2R and 2BSIQ operation is a very nice skill to learn, but I find it to stressfull for me to learn and to use. I have tried and it didnt go well. Maybe I will try again someday. Th

especially now, you may have only two bands open to Europe from the East Coast. From the west coast, there may be one band open. Geography absolutely plays a role into 2BSIQ operating (i.e., you have
Jeff, (and anyone in favour of making SO2R a separate category) So you fellas/gals would have us create another category based almost entirely on operating SKILL rather than number of people, amount
Jeff, What I am hearing you ask for is that the definition of single operator be changed to only allow one radio. Then take everyone else and put them in a separate "assisted" category? Randy K5ZD Di
What if I would use 3 radios (one TX signal at a time only off course)? Which category would you bunch me in? You open pandoras box by creating all these categories based on people's skills. If you k

I think a more reasonable option would be to utilize certain overlay categories - something that already exists in CQWW (i.e., "Classic"). 73 Rich NN3W _______________________________________________
Jeez ! I'm now regretting even bringing up this subject.It's mind boggling to me some of the ridiculous comments some have made. I mean come on... saying things like SO3R and what kind of radio you'r

Boys, we are in the 21st century. Tell me in which sport are the World competitions or Olympics with categories from 20 years ago. Probably someone would like to play tennis with a wooden racket beca
Let's not force super-human ops into the assisted category. Perhaps a single transceiver non-assisted category would be nice for regular humans at average stations. John KK9A Jeff, What I am hearing

Exactly. I find SO2R of limited usefulness because most of the time there's only one "good" band open. 73 Steve K0SR _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contes
Tor/Steve,I'm surprised you guys say you have only one decent band to run on in a domestic contest. From where I am in Georgia the skip zone is pretty good during the day on 20 meters to populated ar
If the playing field were truly level, we would each have exactly the same score at the end of the day. The goal of every competitor ought to be, using operating skills and station engineering skills
