Baloney. What current ARRL employee told you that ? More baloney. See above. 73, Steve, N2IC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://l
It's scary when I find myself in agreement with Mal :) . If all QSL managers has the same integrity as the LoTW program -- the call must match exactly, there wouldn't be this apparent contradiction b
Indeed ! You also learn a lot about the log checking process when you do this. Probably things the adjudicators don't really want you to know. 73, Steve, N2IC ________________________________________
And the really nice thing about a skimmer-based packet system is that it will encourage stations to CQ and sign their call much more frequently, otherwise skimmer won't find them. Skimmer needs to be
Is N4ZR going to set up his telnet-enabled skimmer on the internet, so I can win the pileup contest from New Mexico in the unassisted category ? 73, Steve, N2IC ______________________________________
The debate about remote stations is completely different than the debate about remote receivers. Although it is clearly against the rules, I'm afraid that remote receivers are already being used in c
Hard data is going to be hard to come by. The change from 30 hours to 36 hours was made before the change that awarded 1 point for intra-country QSO's. Thus, it's going to be hard to compare. 73, Ste
Let's split these up and look at them case-by-case. That should not even be considered until CQWW RTTY has the same rules and scoring as the real CQWW contests, such as 0 points for intra-country QSO
I see that the NA RTTY Sprint's are changing their rules to be in-line with the CW and SSB Sprint's. No more work-em-again, over-and-over silliness. If a relatively small contest like RTTY Sprint can
Is anyone else bothered by serious WPX competitors not giving out a signal report ? "V. Exchange: RS(T) report plus a progressive contact three-digit serial number starting with 001 for the first con
Ranko, Broadcasting the contest on the internet was a great service ! I know of many contesters who listened to your audio for part of the contest and were impressed. However, many of those same list
Yeah...that's just your opinion, Ranko. Let no one reading this be confused that what you state is a fact, endorsed by the WPX CC. Your broadcasting has nothing to do with this. Go back and reread my
Sorry for the CQ-Contest bandwidth. It appears that kr2q@optimum.net is far from optimum ! This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification Delivery to the following recipient failed p
The article was about DXing, not contesting. Please, let's not start a discussion about cheating by DXers on this contesting reflector. There are many more appropriate forums for this. 73, Steve, N2I
Bzzzt. With several network skimmers located at various places, all feeding their telnet outputs to a single database, the same statistical methods used to detect packet cheaters can be used to detec
You have missed my point. I'm sure that the log adjudicators will be setting up a private network of skimmers that they will log into to grab skimmer spots through the skimmer telnet interface. That
For those of us in the western USA, this is very good news ! http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2008/04/28/10066/ 73, Steve, N2IC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list
For a competitive multi-multi, planning for this is just another task to be worked, just like many other tasks that need to be worked for a successful multi-multi. I'm sure that K3LR would approach t
Skimmer can record the I and Q signals from the SDR to a file, and play them back later. However, there is other software that can do the same thing, include the Rocky freeware (also written by VE3NE
Or, you could simply use N1MM Logger, which support the 7QP, as well as most other state and regional QSO parties. 73, Steve, N2IC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing l
