If you work CQ8X, the QSO is valid for DXCC. CQ8X cannot receive DXCC credit for these QSOs because the remote operator was not located in the same DXCC entity as the transmitter. Paul N8HM _________
Sure, but the rules state this as the definition of a single operator "One person performs all transmitting, receiving, and logging functions as well as equipment and antenna adjustments." If Herb wa
I agree that if the ARRL considers this multi-op (despite the fact that it appears that Herb did not provide the specific types of assistance listed in the rules as impermissible for a single-op entr
The WA7BNM site lets you do it on a weekly basis, but I can't find an option for a full month or full year of contests. 73, Paul, N8HM _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest maili
Always submit a log no matter how few QSOs you have. You might get surprised with a certificate. My 5 QRP QSOs in the ARRL DX Phone contest this year placed me at the top of the Atlantic Division in
I was operating assisted, but even so, the cluster often either had the wrong station or a busted call. I prefer to hear it myself before logging it. In fact, is it really a good QSO if you never cop
That would be a stupid rule. It's not my responsibility to keep my log secret so others can't cheat. My logs are uploaded to the robot, eQSL, LoTW, Hamlog.eu, QRZ.com, and Club Log within minutes of
Great news! (Hicksville, NY August 1, 2012) -- CQ magazine will embark on a major reorganization of its editorial content in order to publish contest results significantly sooner, Editor Rich Moseson
Yes, but from NAQP's ridiculous precedent, the Distrito Federal would count as part of the State of Mexico despite the two being separate political entities, so you would add only 31 multipliers, not
Why should the ARRL ignore the new sections? The rules of Sweepstakes say that ARRL and RAC sections are multipliers. The new Ontario sections are RAC sections. If Texas decided to split into four st

Oliver, CQ is aware of this and will post corrected results on their website soon. See here: http://cqnewsroom.blogspot.com/2012/08/software-glitch-results-in-cqww-scoring.html 73, Paul, N8HM _______
They are. As is UN Headquarters. It's silly that a building in Manhattan is a multiplier but the District of Columbia is not. The fact is that the District of Columbia is the only separate top-level
Does it really turn off newcomers? Does the use of steroids deter young baseball players from playing baseball or young cyclers from cycling? 73, Paul, N8HM __________________________________________
Gerry, It's not quite that easy. PVRC by-laws require prospective members to attend two meetings before they can be elected as members of the club and the contest is tomorrow! 73, Paul, N8HM ________

The BARTG RTTY contests are the only ones that I know that require you to sign in the appropriate US call area. CQ does not require you to sign that way, but they will publish your score as AA7XT/0.
Yet still DC is not a multiplier... We do not live in Maryland. 73, Paul, N8HM Washington, DC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://
DC is the only top-level political subdivision in the United States or Canada that is not a multiplier. All the Canadian territories are multipliers (I don't see anybody complaining that the Northwes
