I agree with you, Mike. Infact I asked Ed about SO2R this week - my assumption was that the QSY rule was effective by band, but was surprised to learn that bouncing between two radios without changin
Not quite sure I follow ... how could someone not submitting a log unfairly assist someone who does submit a log, without the latter violating the rules? Self-spotters don't give any individual (othe
FWIW (not much), I agree with Dave ... the FAQ seems misleading in stating that you must take 12 hours of off-time, where infact the rule is that you can operate for no more than 36 hours. My approac
The point of a wiki is that it's not up to one person (or dedicated team) to maintain the content. It's a community effort. Anyone in the community should be able to get access to contribute content,
I think the intended suggestion was for a contesting wiki, not a Wikipedia entry. Such a wiki would pages on a wide variety of topics related to contesting - not a general description of what contest

Hi Randy, I suggest you either remove the statement from the multi-multi description that says "Use a separate serial number sequence for each band.", or add the same statement to the other two multi
Sounds like it to me. Only if concerns are raised about the legitimacy of their license status, I would assume. In this case, it sounds like other Columbian stations raised the concerns... ~Iain / N6
I would think that if a European was flagrantly violating the operating rules of their country, there could be grounds for disqualification, sure... but probably not for one QSO - we all make mistake
Yes, if (and only if) an extra-class licensed control operator is also present. Yes, with the same stipulation as above. ~Iain / N6ML _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailin
To state this more specifically, in terms of part 97... * 97.7 states that there must be a control operator whenever a station is transmitting * 97.109(b) states that when a station is being locally
Seems fairly unlikely, but, again, it's the privileges of the control operator that count. Now, if you wanted to use the callsign of the station (as opposed to your own), you'd have to identify with
You have a point there, Dick. On the other hand, an FCC/OO monitoring station wouldn't be able to tell whether the station owner is the one operating at the time or not anyway, unless they happened t
Only if the outlet in your car port is not fed from commercial power! The rule about claiming the bonus if emergency power is available (and tested) only applies to EOCs (class F). ~Iain / N6ML _____
Hi David, Per this: "8.3.3. To be eligible to submit a score in the Affiliated Club Competition, operators must be members in good standing of the club designated, and reside and operate in the club
They're linked together as far as spots go, but I don't believe your filter (or other) preferences are propagated anywhere beyond the server you set them on ... ~Iain / N6ML _________________________
That looks awfully similar, although not exactly the same, as the SIIG Quartet 550. I'd say it's worth giving their driver a shot. It might be an OEM version... ~Iain / N6ML _________________________

Sure! Just go to Config -> Change Your Station Data. It's saved per-database, so you can even create databases with different callsigns, and switch between them easily. Congrats on the new call ;) ~I
