Yes, that's stupid to the extreme. So are the stations working split. No excuse for that during a contest. I refuse to work them. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ CQ-Conte
Better yet .. send an honest RST and see what happens :-) I've always wanted to do that... Al AD6E can be). http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/options/nccc __________________________________________
Jim, K9YC, replied: The cut numbers were apparently a brainchild to shave more seconds or ms off exchanges, that when multiplied by umpteen QSOs, can help boost the coveted rate (via more Net time av
Hey Locust, it's already started! I discovered one thing I have never encountered before. One DX station, if he has already worked you on another band, simply sends your call and a TU, his call, gets
<<<< SNIP>>>> You never get plagued with QRM , QRN, QSB or dopes who don't stop calling when a station comes back to you or you go back to a station that isn't even close to their call? Must be nice

I don't recall them doing so: 1000 was almost always sent as 1K, EXCEPT possibly Nose, KH6IJ, being the consumate contesting gentleman he was until his death, may have always sent 1000 (and still bea
No, you cannot legislate intelligence. All we need to do is ask Mr. 5nn ak for enough fills and he'll eventually get the hint that he's losing lots and lots of time and straighten out. 73, Kelly Ve4x

NO, NO, NO. The responsibility for ALL communication FIRST resides with the Sender - in any venue (ham radio or not). This is why software manuals and alleged 'Help' files have been notoriously dysf
This sort of thing cannot be put on the backs of contest sponsors. They are unsung heroes as is and don't need any more grief. How could they possibly monitor everyone for such infraction? It's not p
I was being tongue-in-cheek about actually having on-air monitors to DQ people on the spot. That would not be practical. However, there is a way to substantially reduce the great number of Unnecessar

I noticed that the PY5/OK station who was sending his power as "AK" the first day was sending only "K" the second day. I think the message finally got through! 73, John, K4BAI. ______________________
Hang on here everyone, Personally I find the CQWW contest annoying, and what you're advocating essentially turns ARRL DX into the same thing. In CQWW all you have to do is make sure you've got the ca
Unless he was a multiplier, I would have given up after his third AK and simply sent NIL NIL NIL SRI and gone away. Maybe he would have gotten the message then, especially if I tried working him on
I agree with that; but I maintain that if the sender is unable to "communicate" due to speaking or using language or abbreviations that others cannot understand, it's up to the others to let the sen
Rick, Steve is right in saying it's the responsibility of the sender to send in an easily understood format. You're right in saying that 5nn AK is NOT an easily understood format. At the current time
Then NIL him. Enough people do that, guess who's not winning any contest. Was this one QSO worth blowing all the QSOs you wasted by haranguing him? 73, Kelly Ve4xt --Original Message-- From: cq-conte
