John, I would say there is a big difference between EU and US when it comes to EMCOMM. Not at all the same focus on such communication here. For what reason is interesting to understand, but it seems
I definitely have the opinion that the new generation of radios (SDR) moves into the territory of Assisted very clearly - no matter if calls signs are shown or not. Until this recent development, I w

The real thrill (or challenge), would be If a contest consisted of a combination of five randomly created letters and numbers, and if those numbers were changed in every QSO. The various Contest soft
See no reason whatsoever for FT8 spots on RBN..... and, yes, I do work FT8 occassionally. What would be an improvement for RBN is to actually make it possible to select a few skimmers, instead of sel
Sad news Trent! I remember that call very well from contests in the early 80s from SK6RR and other stations. RIP Bill... 73 de Mats RM2D (SM6LRR) _______________________________________________ CQ-Co
I indeed like the idea - and have proposed the same. In general, no need to use three years to determine who are the deserving operators... This can be decided in fewer events 1-2. Kari, Sweden has a

Joe, In general I agree with you, but my experience from 10 meters, when band in general is dead, and only various types of scatter propagation (Tropo/Meteor/Airplane) or whatever exist, then QRQ can
Yuri, I was indeed wondering the same... ;) 73 de RM2D, Mats _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/list
Bill, Exactly the same struck me... A station with a decent antenna for any single band, can quite easily reach Full Score in 12 contests, while the very skilled SO2R All Band operator, quite easily
You can never make everyone happy and content in a contest. Italians are trying hard to please as many as possible. They should be appreciated for their efforts, but 2022 WRTC is not the competition
Extremely sad news indeed, although I was informed on the situation with Kreso last period. I knew Kreso as someone always ready to help and support. Never had chance to operate together with him, bu
Eric, this is a very valid point. Some people like it, others not. I belong to the first category - not because I am Russian but simply because this adds a new dimension to overall skills in a contes
It could indeed have been so that they did not hear each other - or at least not strongly... but I am 100 percent sure they heard the recipients of the other station, and must been aware of that othe
I think the time has come for me to make the unfortunate but necessary decision I have long been thinking on. This group has been hijacked by people who think FT(x) is part of true contesting. It mig

FT8 is pure stupidity. Time for REAL hams to choose side... Either you are WITH us - or not... CW rulezz! 73 de JT/RM2D On Wed, 24 Jul 2019 at 20:28, Edward Sawyer <EdwardS@sbelectronics.com> wrote:
I tend to agree with Yury. CY9 was much more balanced between modes, than the 3D2 (or least that was my perception). It might be so that at the time of Johns (GD) participation in KP5 and KP1, that t
