Randy, I agree that local groups, individuals or national associations could and should support Contest Committees in solving such issues, but the overall responsibility definitely must be on the org
This is a much smaller problem. but always an argument that some QROstations wish to hide behind.... "Yes, I run too much power, but I am smart enough to turn my knobs correctly"... I sound perfect,
Jukka. Can you as a member of the CQWW CC specify what you exactly mean with the expression "amplifier at reasonable level"? Is that 1.5 kW for US stations, 1 kW for OH and UA stations or something e
Hello Jukka! Thanks for the clarification. I hope the ongoing discussions will end up in something even better for CQWW 2012. We all live in a world with different regulations and different approach

Hello all, I think the discussion is interesting from several aspects. What is a little disappointing is that everyone seems to "know what is right and wrong". This is perhaps normal because we all h
Hans, Thanks for support. Now I know there is at least one other ham out there with open eyes for how to improve contesting, instead of baking and throwing the biggest pie :) Others still seem to sea

Paul, Many times I thought there is a golden average between YOUR view and the view of "the opposition"... However, I begin to agree that you become more and more correct. Internet-supported contesti
Bob, As a native speaker of English, you express things more to the point. I have no objections with your revised wording. My proposal was not elaborated with during a long time in order to create th
Thanks for very relevant input Timo. You are for sure correct. IOTA might involve operators that normally do not have the highest skills how to handle pile ups and the reason for non-ID could be that
I will be in Dallas between August 18th (evening) and August 25th. Busy schedule but would be great to meet some Texas contesters for a beer or coffee! Please reply off the list to: sm6lrr@gmail.com
Any contesters (local or visitors) in Bali, that would care for an eyeball QSO? Will be in Nusa Dual until the 9th. Please reply off-list to sm6lrr@gmail.com 73 de RM2D (SM6LRR), Mats _______________
