Since moving to SC I have noticed that it is generally considered a pretty rare multiplier where states or sections are used as mults, e.g. SS, ARRL DX, etc. That then raises the dilemma of when to s
If you work someone, and they have been given the impression that the QSO was completed successfully (i.e. by completing it with "TU N2IC SS"), then you are obligated to leave the QSO in your log. If
Yep - as one of those QRPers this year in SS CW that not only happened to me a couple of times, but I would expect it. And I think most QRP stations would understand. If the other station can't get m

Don't mislead the other station into thinking they have a valid QSO if they do not. If you ask for repeats, you can't get it and say "sorry" and move on, the other station should not log the QSO eith
Hi Dennis It is both stations' responsibility to assume that the QSO is complete. If you didn't copy all of the information for the other station, then by the definition of the contest rules it isn't
... A related question is what is considered sufficient for completing the QSO, especially on CW? For example (say in CQWW CW): XX1XX: CQ TEST XX1XX XX1XX K7GK: K7GK XX1XX: K7GK 5NN 14 K7GK: R 5NN 3
The other other answer (besides "don't TU if you don't got it") is don't acknowledge the call in the first place if it is too weak to complete the contact. Obviously this is a judgment call and with
if you work an old man using a hand key with a chirpy signal who has to stop and write down all contact information, and he is from washington state, go right ahead and speed away, but if he is in ne
I would think that if the running station (the one calling CQ) didn't get the exchange from you correctly, he would keep asking for the missing piece before doing another CQ or QRZ. That is usually w
Seems to me that this discussion, is very tightly linked to the Qso B4 chat. hmmm? And the other side of it, is simple, when the other station, qrp or not, attempts another Q, it may be a wiser decis
So true. If someone busts my call, and I sent it a couple of times to correct them, and they just say TU QRZ, it gets deleted from my log unless I hear my call sent right. Most software does that aut
Why would you do that? You would reduce your score when you did not make an error. If you know the other guy worked you (there is no possibility he worked someone else that you may not have heard) an
Correct. If, at the time of the QSO in question, his log has everything I sent in it except he busted my callsign, I get credit for the contact and he doesn't. Mark, N5OT ___________________________
Hi Bob Well, I guess it just because that is just the way I do it. If he didn't work ME, he don't go in my log. Then if he did get my call right, and didn't acknowledge it, I guess he loses the conta
Hi Bob Probably not having that call in my log won't make as much difference as him not having my call in his log if he is a 'big gun'. I contest just for the fun, not to actually win anything. If a
