Not only that, you receive a rather nice color booklet with all the scores and data, your UBN data is emailed directly to you, and you receive an invitation by email to enter the contest the followin
Well, it is for the 10M contest... _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest
I think everyone seems to be missing the point. I believe that Dave's point is: IF you log what you hear and what is sent AND the person sending that information is WRONG, CQ will classify that stati
I think that it is incumbent upon those stations to cycle through their beverages or listen on the TX antenna often. Nothing is more annoying than hearing a loud station transmitting with apparently
If I am in a contest that requires serial numbers (or grids, or first names) and if I work someone, casual or not, I have to put something in the log. I can't just make something up. If I work a casu
Because you do not know whether that person will submit a log or not. If he submits a log and you have the exchange wrong, you lose. You just can't make up an exchange and fill your log in with it. I
I have asked that question for a number of years. Then someone told me, wait til the bottom of the cycle, then you will see some 160 SS. I once searched the entire ARRL online database for all the av
. Object: For stations in the United States and Canada (including territories and possessions) to exchange QSO information with as many other US and Canadian stations as possible on 160, 80, 40, 20,
I am not endorsing any violations of contest rules, but make sure that it is actually a violation. Someone working me during SS this year might have heard someone else give out an exchange in the bac
So to make the analogy to car racing, practice laps in the days leading to the race and warmup laps prior to the start are unsportsman? In the Tour de France, don't the cyclists take a ride in the mo
The problem is that in this case the spec defined the contest name strings. The spec "shoulda" just said that the string following CONTEST: should be X characters long, left up to the discretion of t
In the CQ 160M contest, I had someone send an obvious wrong exchange. It was EN80. Okay, he thought he was in the Stew. So, do I log it as EN80 or the actual state that I know he is in? I ask this, a
Window or no window, that is just plain rude operating if not bordering on being in violation of FCC rules. If you ask if the frequency is in use or QRL, and someone says YES, then it is in use, whet
Uniques in SS are unique in a way. It always seems like one does work more uniques in SS than in other contests, especially those long Sunday afternoons. In SS, you have a serial number. If the Uniqu
The problem with the Stew Perry contest is that we are so accustomed to hearing the RST that we expect it. Many send 599 as 5NN. Some cut it even closer with ENN. So, now you are expecting to hear "E
So, I have a TX with an indoor antenna here in W1-land along with a remote RX in VK-land. A VK station has a TX in VK with a remote RX here in W1-land. No need to restrict remote receivers?? _______
Why not call? If I need North Dakota and there are some casual North Dakota operators just tuning the band, they probably won't be stopping on every single CQ and answering them. If I am calling spec
Robot problems? Other than the fact that I have never worked JT1CO, I think my log entry is correct. Any one else having a problem? _______________________________________________ Topband mailing lis
Problem was in the robot, as it was rejecting ALL logs because it thought that the date was wrong for some reason. I submitted my exact same log again a couple of hours later after the end of the con
I read this post out of order, that is, I didn't read Art's original post first. I found it and read it. In that post, the lid I believe to whom he was referring was himself, not DG, as one might inf
