I'm trying to figure out what you find so objectionable about this. Everybody is free to use captive rovers just like everybody is free to run a big station with lots of power and big antennas. Any o
I'm inclined to think that perhaps you do not understand the issue. The example you created could of been based on increasing your power, getting better antennas, more bands, more modes, better locat
Rick, mine does the same thing when running off an external 12v supply and the internal voltage sensing circuit decides the voltage is too low. It didn't do that when it was new, only after Yaesu put
Hogwash! That may be one purpose but competition between entrants to get the biggest score has got to be the main purpose of most contests. Jim, AF6O frontiers

The vast majority of people send in their score even though they are not going to win. If you only want to submit a score when you would be the winner then perhaps you should not risk it. Jim, AF6O _
Yes, if it is going to be enforced then it must be enforced for everyone. So a station that gets on for a couple of hours did not comply because he should have been on for longer. A station in a poor
Yes, that's just what we need. A contest god to interpret how and when the rules should be applied after the fact. It's much too easy when you know what the rules are ahead of time. Jim, AF6O _______
So 97% would be OK? 96? 95? 94?..... How about if only one of the three logs was submitted? Jim _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com
