Hi, during my last business trip I have thought about a new concept. OK, OK, it's not so very new, but new in the RTTY scene. ~:) The main goal of this contest is to accumulate the distances between

A hunter left his QTH and walked 10 km to the south, then turned east and walked another 10 km. There, he saw a bear and shot it. He then headed home by walking north for 10 km. . . . What is the col

...SNIP... Somebody is trying to reinvent the wheel. And the concept is hardly "new." Any logging software that supports the Stew Perry Topband DX Challenge already computes the distance between grid
In addition, low power entrants multiply their score by 2 and QRP entrants multiply their score by 4. A QSO with a QRP station is double points ... this is computed by the log checking software of t

As I noted in a posting to the reflector mid-day yesterday, most current contest logging software for the Stew Perry TBDC should work for your proposed RTTY contest. The score calculated by the Stew
Hi, we all should push each HAM to run RTTY and subscribe to this reflector. Here you can learn everything about RTTY contesting. Also you'll receive nice brainteaser's, the (real) color of the bears
My vote is for 24 out of 30 hours for SO, and MO can go the full 30. The one day, or part day, contests are very popular. They are fast paced and seldom boring. They don't wipe out the entire weeken
I support a shorter contest; SARTG format is OK if 24+ hrs are desired. You could even consider SARTG format, but even shorter, say 4-6 hrs for each segment. The super fun contests are those with HUG
But a warm up should be not so long. My vote is for 18 hours out of 24 or 24 hours without a break! That's why I think there shouldn't be any bonus points. The goal is to maximize the accumulated dis
