I need some help understanding this part of the rules in Section IV. "All antennas used by the entrant must be physically connected by wires to the transmitters and receivers used by the entrant" W4D
Hey Dex, It would be very cool if you would ask W1XX directly, then post the answer to the list so we will all know together. :) Ev ___________________________________________________________________
If you accidentally make a QSO without an antenna, it doesn't count? Then it becomes a matter of semantics because whatever radiated your RF IS acting as an antenna of some sort. Maybe you're not all
Hey Guys, I'm thinking it trying to keep folks from using remote bases via the internet. My $ .02 worth 73 de w4grw Bill _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHF
Yes, but the antenna is still connected to the transmitter by wires, even if the operator is elsewhere. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcon
But even if you remotely operate a transceiver 3000 miles away, the transceiver is STILL connected to its antenna (with a feedline). Seems like it's meant to cover a situation that will never occur.
Kind of assumes there is some sort of "wireless" feedline? Whaddyamean I can't feed my 2 meter horn with waveguide?-) http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/vhfcontesting ______________________
This rule has been in the CQWW HF rules for some time. The intent was to stop people from using remote receivers or remote stations in ADDITION to their main station. 73, Kenny K2KW _________________
