Is it possible that the "Captive Rover" is a mythological creature? No one likes it, but that's ok 'cause it doesn't really exist. :) Ok...fess up. Who on this list has had a rover refuse to QSO them
Then this supports the idea that the "problem" (if there is one) of "captive rovers" (if they actually exist) is miniscule, and inconsequential to the overall outcome of an event. Hardly worthy of le
There's a phrase above that summarizes this thread, "Think about the potential...if <snip>". Note the word, "Potential" and the word "if". It is easy to villify and slay a Dragon, if one takes it upo
Ed Kucharski well noted just how much of an impact that Rovers can have on the score of a multiop. HUGE. :) Does anyone think this fact has escaped the operators of the multiops? Now put yourself in
Greg, you are the MAN! Yet another myth exploded. See what happens when we jump to conclusions without enough valid data? [doesn't he ever give up?!] Greg wasn't captive. The contest lost it's Fun-fa

Thanks for the feedback on the two points I asked about: o 0-point QSO's o Chronological Log entries Lee, Michael and Tree provided the clarification that I was looking for. As thought, I simply misi

PropNET^31 is a system that combines parts of the HF-based NCDXF CW beacons, APRS and PSK31 with a few "narrowband VHF steroids" mixed in. It's all-RF by nature. If an icon appears on your screen, it
I suppose one can argue both sides of the PSK31 fence... depending on who you talk to PSK31 is capable of indicateing both sub-SSB quality paths and not. The beauty of The BEACONet Project experiment
Before anyone misunderstands this as a flame...please understand that it is not. I am simply provoking thought and discussion. Remember when January VHF SS results were published in the June QST? Tha
Can we dare think in entirely different ways? If so, read on... Read through the first two items, as they setup the last one...which is the real reward. o Someone, please come up with a _simple_ Pape
Imagine that the ARRL provided a simple Paper-to-Cabrillo program (the one that looks just like their paper VHF-UHF-EME logs, but outputs in Cabrillo format for submittal) and then provided an incent

I'm not certain that everyone knows that SWOT took the time to sponsor these awards for submitted logs in the January VHF Sweepstakes. My hat is off to them as they continue to attempt to drum-up in
I am in support of the ARRL proposal to eliminate *detailed* contest results from QST provided: o The $100,000 per year would be publicly reallocated to a project that furthers the interests of our h
