If a card has multiple QSOs on it, if you indicate on your paper work to the ARRL what QSO you want credit for, you are then excluding all the other QSOs and will not be charged for these contacts. 7
1. Reduce the hours to 30 means less stations on the air. This is good? Who are you contesting with if stations must reduce the maximum number of hours by 17%? 2. Strategy- If the hours are less, my
I gave out a RS report 2898 times last week as TO5A. You figure as to whether I would have liked to have avoided having to have done this. I was going to respond to 4O3A's comments as to whether
People with long calls increase the rate of error that the other station will bust their call. If I find in my log something like KZ0ZZZ , it is more likely to be a product of fatigue at my end then
If you send in a log, and claim a score, is it rocket science that how you got that score would be open to public scrutiny? Maybe those who do not want there logs to be public should also encrypt the

It would not be surprised if 6Y1V contacts start to show up in logs in greater frequency then in the past. Since there will be no way to verify 6Y1V QSOs, this multiplier is ripe to be added to those
Suppose there was a tennis competition that was not professional. One person walks on the court , also a competitor but not in this match, and starts yelling, "excuse me, excuse ". One of the partici
CQ's policy to spread the plaque winners around so that one station does not win multiple plaques is a good one. The purpose of specific class plaques like a North American plaque is rendered meaning
Mike, If somebody ask you to spot them, then they should be reported to the sponsor. Ignorance of the rules is not a defense. If you do not understand the rules, do not play the game. Anything else i
In Senegal, we are allowed to operate SSB from 7000 KHz to 7.1 KHz. The licensing authority has not yet allowed operation from 7.1 to 7.2 KHz. 73, Albert, 6W1RY -- Original Message -- From: "Andrei S

I received a penalty for not being in the D4C log on 20 meters. I made the mistake of not recording the entire contest. I thought I had worked this station but I just shrugged it off that I was not l
In this day and age of spotting, maybe it is worth considering the issue of the ten minute rule being out of date and just abolishing it. It does not increase scores, but rather has the opposite effe
Live video cams require non amateur radio transmissions. That is prohibited by the rules. If the rules are changed that every competitor must also use the Internet then it is no longer an amateur rad
Why have more limits? Who benefits from only allowing one signal at time from a multi-single? Is this going to produce more QSOs in the contest.? More importantly, why would anyone bother to enter th
Prefixes counting as multipliers per band is a bad idea. Bad enough that the WA6 station across the street counts as the same multiplier as a JT, but what a joke it would be if you could move this WA
How many club members attend meetings when there is a 275 Km radius limitation? The concept of people joining a club and having face to face interaction is somewhat dated in this age of the Internet
