The rule says, "regardless of the type of control". Wouldn't it be kind of hard to be "right there at the rig" when operating under remote control? The control operator is still required to "ensure t
It's not a primary station location; it's your mailing address. The FCC dropped station location from the license form back in 1993 <http://p1k.arrl.org/cgi-bin/topdf.cgi?id=89905&pub=qst> 73, Mike K

Just to be clear, there's no "10-minute rule" or other band-change rule in sweepstakes. There is a "1 transmitted signal at any time" rule that makes a M/2 or M/M which uses a single transmitted sign
Before making pronouncements about the spirit or intent of the M/S category, a look back at the history of that category might have been useful. The once and future "10-minute rule" being discussed o
If that were actually true wouldn't it have put a damper on a lot of Field Day operations by now? Or are you going to try to tell us that the FCC considers different modes to be different bands as we
Well, for that contest and for WPX, WAE, AA, RDXC... Major contests in which one means two are fairly common. Maybe it's because the contests in which one doesn't mean two (in the M/S category) are m
If there's a problem here, I don't think it's a 2nd or "mult" station problem. Unlike all other categories, there's no explicit "one signal at any one time" or "one signal per band" rule for M/S in C
Maybe that's because in CQWW the whole score from a multi-op is not credited to one single club but rather a pro-rated fraction of the score goes to the clubs to which each operator belongs. OTOH, AR
The South Carolina section was split off from the "GA-SC-etc." section in time for the 1937 Sweepstakes. (and yes, that's how that section was listed in the SS results in QST!) Georgia and West Indie
In 1926, when the ARRL Board created sections as the field organization of the Communication Department, places that did not operate under United State or Canadian radio laws were included in the div
Okay, then how about the the Utah-Wyoming section? If Czechoslovakia ceased to exist then Utah-Wyoming must have ceased to exist as a section when it was split into two new section? According to that

Yeah, this topic aperiodically resurfaces as it is confusing. Bottom line is what we refer to as ITU zones in amateur radio, are not the official ITU HFBC CIRAF zones. The history behind this is that
I'd thought this would be a recurring subject but not that it would recur quite so soon :-) See: <http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/CQ-Contest/2010-06/msg00100.html> Once again the present c
In 1996, G4BWP of the RSGB's HF Committee made a proposal at the 1996 Region 1 General Conference Tel Aviv that a common set of boundaries be identified for the "ITU regions as used in amateur radio"
Speaking of ARRL November Sweepstakes specifically, the chronology of the Low Category/Class goes like this: 1930 - In the beginning there were no power classes. 1934 - For the fifth running of Sweep
I suggest that before going off half cocked on this that someone look at what CONGRESS has in their budget resolution! In the budget labyrinth, the "d/issemination of U.S. time and frequency via the
