Unless you started transmitting on, or too near, a frequency that was already in use, there is no reason to QSY. (Moreover, QSYing reinforces special interest groups laying claim to specific frequenc
Discrepancy between your RTTY frequency and what is spotted by another station depends on what each of you uses for a reference. Most people use their VFO frequency as what they spot. Depending on wh

Yes, this is the crucial question. Understand that log checking is going to give the nod to the sent exchange when the received exchange differs. But ... that doesn't mean the sent exchange is what i
In this case, K0YR did not submit a log. So the log checking used the QSOs in the logs of the stations he worked to determine the sent exchange. While a lot of ops logged 'T0M' (with a zero), most lo
You're right ... K0YR did not submit a log, so log checking used the QSOs from the received logs to determine his sent exchange. Far more people logged 'TOM' with the letter 'O' and that is more logi

Bruce doesn't "control" contest weekends, but he is the CW/SSB NAQP contest manager. As such, he is a reasonable person to approach about swapping the CW and SSB weekends. However, I've already passe
