When 3830 was in it's prime before the internet it was something you looked forward to. The top players got to give their scores. You got immediate feedback on how you did. Delaying the postings for
Maybe it is time that the contest sponsors shortened the log deadlines? How much log massaging needs to happen. A week or two at the max is plenty to get logs in. If you are mailing in your entry it
I think this a big block for many. The top contesters know when the bands are open. They have multiple rigs and antennas to check. It does not do any good for me to see a person in 4land or 6land tha
I try to slow down the first time I work someone in the contest. I usually don't the next time unless they have trouble. I noticed many people were slowing down parts of their calls and names. B's ar
I would be willing to bet a plaque that getscores will never change the outcome of any contest even if everyone was required to use it. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mail
He won because he stayed up and the other guy did not. Could Getscores have influenced his decision to stay up...sure. Just like WWV might influence a strategy or propagation predictions. Does N2XXX
This is mostly to the top ops who feel that live scoreboards are going to negatively impact their efforts. Since there seems to be a great reluctance on the part of many big guns and multi's to embra
You receive 5 points for contacts with US to VE stations and 2 points for US-US or VE-VE contacts. If you are in the US or VE you can not count US and VE as multipliers as they use the states and 14
Please support the scoreboard. CQ 160 is this weekend. Give it a try. Here's the people who have posted their score to getscores.org <http://getscores.org/> in a contest since 2007 CQWW: 5B4WN 6V7D 6

I have a couple of ICE 419's and just recently upgrade one station to a set of W3NQN filters from Array Solutions. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@c
Actually I think it points out that there is no way to stop this. People can watch spots anonymously any time they want. It points out that there are plenty of people out there the will bend/break an

Great! I have a TIC ring on the way and already have the Green Heron controller. TIC is offering them as an option now. I already own two other Green Heron controllers and they are excellent. _______
I think we have bigger issues in contesting than nit picking about KW, 1000, K, 1K. All of these abbreviations have been in use for the entire time I have been contesting. So on 10m I am able to put
It would seem to me that most of our technology is purchased. Most no longer design their own radios, antennas etc... Skimmer is not going to make an SSB op a top CW finisher. It might help him and i
What happens when Skimmer is integrated into a bandscope and not called skimmer and those "spots" are fed to the computer via the radio directly......I guess any type of code reading should be addres
Without any help from me?? Are we talking about skimmer running at my shack and not coming in from the internet? If so then I had everything to do with it. I provided the radio and antennas, the comp
