In my mind this is one of the problems. Because we do this contesting thing out of sight in our own rooms, homes, stations - what each of us is running is often left to the imagination of others. Whe
Huh? I think the log checking is enforcing the 24 hour time limit just fine. How else should they handle a log that is over time? DQ the entrant? The rule sets a time limit to the operating period. I
That is pretty cool. And N6TR was operating as VY1EI from his warm shack in Boring, OR. -- George Fremin III geoiii@kkn.net _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-

I would like to invite all of the HF contesters to operate 6m and above this coming June in the ARRL VHF contest. The contest is June 13-15. Most of the recent HF radios have 6 meters on them - if yo
Yes! The correction factor. Seems I have pointed this out every 10 years or so. http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/1993-06/msg00020.html http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/CQ-Contest/201
Here is an article on eham.net that might help: http://www.eham.net/articles/35581 While most on this list are not new to contests this article might be good for passing along to your local radio clu
In this forum and other places I have heard this advice given out "log what they send". In most contests this is not good advice. If what they send does not make sense you need to figure out how to m
Yes - think about it. If the exchange is a serial nubmer and they send you "Texas" will you log what is sent? Do I really need to give you more examples? If the exchange does not fit what you know ab

You are correct - it would be a terrible change to SS. -- George Fremin III - K5TR geoiii@kkn.net http://www.kkn.net/~k5tr _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-C
What? Do you think 10 and 15 are better from the east coast and midwest? To where? These bands are not open for them either and in fact they are not useful for reaching population centers - except fo
My name is George. In the NAQP it is spelled ED. -- George Fremin III - K5TR geoiii@kkn.net http://www.kkn.net/~k5tr _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest
Restricting stations to working only once in the contest does some great things. - It makes it possible for an entrant to be competitive from year to year regardless of the band conditions. - It make
There are plenty of small stations doing well in the SS. Some even win their categories - give it a try next time. Some have - and there are things I do not like about some changes that have occurred
There are many factors - and it is more complex than just one rule change. Some factors (but not all): - DX contest band conditions. CQ WW is around these contests. - Was there a non contest weekend
I never though you were suggesting mults per band. Didn't you write this same message a few days ago? Did you not read the messages I and others posted about this? Doing this would change the contest
Fellow contesters, In writing and talking and thinking about the SS in the last few days I had some thoughts I would like to share. There were comments on this list - and there were some opinions in
We used to only call CQ on the radio. With this rule change you will now need to call CQ on the internet too. Everytime you push the CQ button that same button can now now send a spot out to the inte
RBN data with stations 150 km (or even closer) will likley not produce very good data. At any distance from your station - and even different height antennas at your location can produce very differn
