I just received another followup e-mail from the OFTA people. I'm not sure what to make of it other than to encorage other contesters to raise the issue as well. 73's Guy Molinari, N7ZG _____________
I don't subscribe to CQ. Could someone post the US 7th call area results? I'm most interested in the low power scores. Thanks in advance and 73's Guy, N7ZG ___________________________________________

I was just tuning around on 40M a few minutes before the start of IARU. 40M sounded great from from here in the Pacific NW. I was hearing lots of VR2's and VK's and YE0HQ. It was getting pumped. Then

Hi Tom, Yes, I have an MFJ analyzer as well and it will work just great. 1) Set you analyzer for 14.200 Mhz 2) Use good quality coax. RG-8 is OK, RG-213 is better. The better the coax the steeper the
I've done about a half dozen or so SSB contests and am interested in improving my operating skills in this regard. Does anyone know of any articles, web resources, etc. that could help me hone these
Congrats to Al on his accomplishments. I'd liken it to what Tiger Woods has done for the sport of Golf. As to the cheating issue, perhaps some of these problems could be resolved by introducing a new
This was exactly my point in the earlier posting. I am a software engineer by profession and I am responsible for providing the "push" infrastructure behind the the ESPN.com web sites. While I cannot
Yes, I think so. The scoreboard system could also aggregate data from the packet cluster as well. We would just need to come up with the algorithm to identify the possible misuse of spots. Any ideas?
Hi Mal, What you suggest makes sense to me. Barry, W2UP points out that it would be easy to 'game' the system by waiting for a time period to lapse and make it appear that normal S&P activity is taki
Kelly raises an important point. We absolutely cannot do anything to discourage/alienate the casual contester in any way. IMHO, they are the bread and butter and the top scorers seem to lure in a lar
Good points David, The cluster feed to the scoreboard should be unfiltered and optimized to minimize communications latency. Also, if the new station worked is less than x kHz away (let's say 2) it w
It seems like there is concensus that it is a good idea although some of the details and implications need further thought. So,,, how do we make this happen? Here are some of my thoughts on the techn
Lyndon, The reason for multiple boxes (beyond scalability) is for failover in case a server goes down. This is overkill perhaps for smaller contests, but for the majors this would probably be prudent
