Well said Tom. I, for one, have violated all of those rules and have suffered the consequenses you have mentioned. The temptation is to "get it going" and then not go back and do it right. I am in th
Bah, humbug! Trey is right, and there should be no contest free zone on 10m. 73 W3PP Easy... The LU novices should use split like we in EU do it on 80m phone. 73s Zoli HA1AG -- CQ-Contest on WWW: htt
Lots of comments on this, but most are using tunnel vision. IMHO there is more to consider than a single op with a 1000 QSO computerized log. Why not send your comments to Dan and let him weigh your
With all due respect to Jim and others, It was nice to see how the board voted on this issue; but: I think we kicked all the air out of this ball 6 months ago. Many of us wrote to our directors to ma
Gosh, another thread being beat to death. Valid points from both camps, but look fellas; this is a hobby. Some folks like Vanila and some like Chocolate. Another example, analagous to Pete's Sailboat
Have the results been withdrawn? Looked at them yesterday, today they are missing W3PP -- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts -- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --
We had that problem here on our 15m position. One of the ops noted that our spots were going out on the wrong frequency. The same one consistantly. They stopped sending spots until I found the proble
Seems like in every contest someone invents a new way to reek havoc. In the past it was erroneous /BUSTED spots. This time, our system was taking some VE spots, and this resulted in, not only domesti
I do too. There are a couple of issues at work here. Those with more maturity in this hobby (wasn't that diplomatic George) realize that a broad signal means that less signal is being delivered with
I have not seen George's data, so can't comment on that. I make mine out of good quality coax that will handle the RF Voltage at high power. Most of mine are made of R11AP, a light weight 75 Ohm doub

Roger, There are a couple of different issues here. First, the ARRL rule does not say "initiated by the DX calling CQ". Secondly, the "gentleman's agreement probably does not define what DX is. The o
Mal, Let me splain it to ya. Whereas your conclusion is a possible scenario, it is not necessarily the only, or even the most common one. Some contesting s/w have a feature called "spot all S&P QSOs"
Oh yea, and another one I can add to the list is letter reversals. I call it "digital dyslexia"! I even do it in my emials. :) Dallas W3PP _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest m
In looking at the frequency allocation chart on the ARRL web, it appears that advanced and generals cannot operate CW except 3525-3600 and on their authorized phone segments. That is to say that a ge

Single point ground? I don't believe this exists for even a modestly equipped station. Please identify where you think the single point is. Dallas, W3PP _____________________________________________
I don't have any issue with that explanation. It's the "single point ground" that very few stations actually have. It's an extremely complex and expensive process and not understood by most. It is no
This process certainly seems counter productive to me. There is a fine line between consideration and tolerance. I have always found 40 meter RTTY a challenge, as is 40m SSB. Champions adjust (as my
