If you would like to see how this debate plays out, go to the RTTY reflector and read the archives. This exact argument went on there for a couple of weeks with the same statements. Tom W7WHY ______

HI All I found I busted the first 3 Q's in the Sprint last night (due to an error on my part). If I send in my log, will the guys I worked get dinged for my bad Q's? Tom W7WHY _______________________
Well, sometimes yes and sometimes no. While on a camping trip this summer, I was operating one of the Sprint practices when my keyer conked out. I tried operating for a while just using the paddle as
Hi All I've been working the CQP as CW only. Last night on 160 3 stations asked me to switch to SSB. I worked them. Is it OK to take those Q's out of my log and send those 3 in as a checklog? I didn'
I feel this way about SSB. And PSK. If I had my druthers, the bands would be all RTTY and CW. But, I guess there are people out there that like SSB, just like there are people like AM, or FM, PSK, or
Hi Art Not only enunciate on the sections, but the check also. I started saying "check five four" instead of "check 54" That has really cut down on the repeats. Fifty four sounds a lot like sixty fou
Hi Zack Why not :-) What ever works. 73 W7 Water Hops and Yeast (sounds like beer, think I'll go get one) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You mean I can't use Whiskey Nine Striped Z
Hi Bill But, you don't have to download the new releases when they come out. You can just wait till they get the bugs out. There is usually 2 or 3 releases a week and you don't have to wait long to
Hi Yuri What would that have to do with anything? Can you only get WAZ from contest Q's? 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com
Even if it was 'no ssb below 7025', that would be nice for us Extra's, but if you don't have an extra class licence, you can't operate there anyway. Maybe that would be an 'incentive' to upgrade :^).
Hi Barry Thats a good idea. Another thing that is fun is to put the computer speaker on one of your radios and then practice copying calls in Morse Runner while tuning the other radio and copying cal
H all I noticed one thing, some spots had 'new' next to them. I checked and it seems as though I had already worked that section. If a spot says 'new' does that mean it is a new mult, or just a new s
Boy, you don't think 1 Q or mult makes a difference. This from 3830. K4XU 1047 80 24 167,520 K7QQ 1047 80 23.7 167,520 WWDXC Don't get much closer than that :-) 73 Tom W7WHY _________________________
If you can just make up a check, why not make up a section? I'll bet I'd get a lot more calls if I put NWT or MAR as my section :-) 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Co
What is the timeline there. Suppose you go off to another band and come back, and he is still there. Guess you can't work him?? It's getting kinda sillly. 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________
OK, here are a couple of scenerio's. I buy 6 4-el steppirs and and 2 200 foot towers. I have an engineer from 'Sky High' antenna company come over, erect towers and the antennas, and to be sure there
Hi All With my hearing slowly getting worse every year, I noticed this year I had a hard time in the SS. I am now wearing hearing aids and it is hard to get them adjusted right without squealing or n
Hi Paul I think you answered your own question with the first line. Any sponser can make any rule they want. Some even have contest's where use of telnet doesn't make one 'assisted'. 73 Tom W7WHY ___
