Taking a look at my spots this morning. It is very surprisng when you are spotted and when you are not spotted according to DX Summit. Are there other locations where spots exist on SSB that is not s
Thinking like an old fart, I would agree with you. But the fact is, the current crowd is pointing and clicking for rate - not just mults. If you look at the spots, its hardly juicy stuff. It's everyt
Taking a look at your station picture, if you are running an amp, you are hardly a "little pistol" Scott. CQing is an "art form" on SSB if you are not at one of the multi-ops running a stack and can
It is no copy in Central Vermont. That would be consistent with it being in Central to Southern NH, ME, Mass, RI, CT and the Eastern half of NY but not Albany, Schenectedy, Plattsburg (or I'd likely
These rules looking to be final, I would like to thank the Committee for clearly putting time, thought, and feedback into the output. A few comments from my perspective: - I was disappointed by the r
It seems like the actual issue in this case is that rules don't really address the remote operating from a club issue. Clearly the operation is happening in Maine and not Maryland from a "contest loc
For WPX and Russia DX or ARRL or CQWW, for me it doesn't matter, serial # or not. If conditions are good and you are working Europe, especially, Russia and Eastern Europe, its fast 36 - 40. If its al
I am curious. Since "everyone" is reporting to online scoreboards these days, what's the point of K3LR and W3LPL getting on 3830 and reporting their scores. Don't they already know the final scores?
Actually, I was referring to the frequency 33830 at 0001Z after the contest. Not the website based on the history. Since K3LR and W3LPL must be on the scoreboard real time, it occurred to me, whats t
I mostly use my Bose QC15 with a "home brew" mic boom and heil element. Its wonderful. Ed N1UR --Original Message-- From: CQ-Contest [mailto:cq-contest-bounces@contesting.com] On Behalf Of Alan Higbi
In my opinion, Heil headsets have always sounded wonderful but never been comfortable. Going back 30 years. 73 Ed N1UR All of my contesting headsets are Heil. The best by far is the new Pro 7. I trie
All you have to do is plug in a prefix into your contest software and see if it exist on SCP. If not, its super rare. If it only exists once on the database, its pretty unusual but exists. Ed N1UR -
Hi Jeff. That sure is cheating and you should forward that email to the Contest Director. I also see in my review of spots that 3 people tried to confirm the exchange by spotting me. As unassisted, t
Which is why identifying to the contest director is the answer. If he submits, then it should be dealt with. If he doesn't then its an issue settled. Ed N1UR --Original Message-- From: CQ-Contest [ma
I am not sure how many people are aware of a new FT mode that was just released. The mode called FT-4 has a few new features. The first is that its quicker by trading S/N capture algorithm for speed
Hello Rudy. To be clear, I am not resisting innovation. It just has no place being mixed in with other modes and call it "the same but different". If FT8/4 users want to robo war each other - go for
Ria, I agree with you that if someone's "contesting" is 100% S & P with spot and RBN fed callsigns on the screen and there is no serial number to copy - that person's contesting is not incrementally
Tor. With FT4 now "contest capable" and FT8 already being sprinkled into the mix in FD and starting to take over the VHF/UHF contests, I am fearful that the acceptance is inevitable for the HF RTTY c
Jim, Not working them for whatever reason is your prerogative. But working them and then deleting them, causing them a penalty for no fault of there own is actually clear unsportsmanlike conduct and
Tom, Great ideas. Run as an FT4 only contest - its wonderful. Ed N1UR Yes, but what would they do? I'll answer that in a minute. There has been a bunch of complaining about FT4 and the automation put
