Ken said: "There is no reason to change the rules," Well the rules were changed, when I lived in CA, and participated in CQP, California stations were not required to copy the names of the counties,
Contest season is starting off again and as usual at least 50% of those participating have no idea how call CQ. I'm tuning across 20m CW and there are at least 20 stations outside CA calling CQP. Her
Can or could you add the technology of simultaneously displaying the Packet-Cluster spots so it would be easy to determine who was claiming single op but obviously stealing spots..??.. It is easy to
I don't know an algorithm from a pizza pie but here is a starting place: The participant's real-time logs and DX Packet-Cluster spots are fed into some computer with some special software. The softwa
I received 17, yes 17, private emails asking me to name names. Well for obvious reasons I am not going to do that but I wanted to respond publicly to at least this one, because I found it interesting
What an interesting posting Ken. In a single posting you validated what I said about my participation in the contest and the fact that I had been spotted several times on the cluster. You then procee
Here is the maximum you are going to get from me. STOP asking for more because it's not going to happen under any circumstances. This is an excerpt from my log converted to an easy to read format(min
I received this from a friend, Bill, K7WT. Apparently these BPL guys are not giving up any time soon. I ran across this article and thought I would pass it along. http://www.edn.com/blog/400000040/po
David said: """Its no secret that mal doesn't like packet or anything to do with it""" David that remark is so far from the truth it would be laughable if it weren't so, blatantly, patently, wrong. F
I think the only thing I would add is if anyone wants to go through this exercise I recommend using the SS for your model. First you can only work a station once during the contest. If you see a patt
Jim you have the luxury at ZD8 & D4 of being in a place where everyone comes to you and you can, sort-of, 'cherry-pick' the loudest signal. Those of us on this side need the narrowest possible filter
Whooooops... I meant to reply to N6TJ's posting about CW filters. Sorry if I caused confusion.... MAL N7MAL BULLHEAD CITY, AZ http://www.ctaz.com/~suzyq/N7mal.htm http://geocities.com/n7mal/ Don't wo
I guess the obvious question Paul is how doest CT keep track. It's a nice comment many of you are making about logging what you hear but it doesn't matter if CT calculates from its own databases rega
Whoa: let's back this train up. Who decides what the """correct""" phonetics are? The phonetics you cited are the commonly accepted military phonetics, which is what we should expect from someone who
And therein is the problem. You, and others, said: ""Outlawing packet tomorrow would not have the impact that many might hope. We have large numbers of stations that are not entering the contest but
Nat thank you for posting that link. I was particularly interested with this sentence by N6TJ: "" Strive to feel comfortable in what you're doing."" Last week during the phonetics thread N7MAL(me) sa

Contesting has new achieved a new low. The NCCC contest 'PRACTICE' now needs DXCluster for spots in a contest 'PRACTICE'. The NCCC is so inept at contesting they have to spot each other, so they can
I am even more impressed at the quality of some of the QRP signals. Several were over S-9 and one in Colorado was even 20 over 9. Those QRP guys have been doing a lot of antenna work and have really
How about going from the sublime to the ridiculous..??.. I'm suggesting K1EA redo CT so that it sends random numbers instead of sequential. It won't effect the sender because the sender uses the F2 k
