Then why not state in the rules: Check (the last two digits made up at random) It seems pretty straightforward what the check is. I cannot see why some people are so resistant to sending the correct

Amen! Perhaps contest sponsors should deduct points for busted qsos based on the signal report passed out. If the guy was really Readability 5, and you blew it, you must be pretty dumb, so deduct 5 q

As I stated before, the RST is purely subjective. R of 5 means perfectly reabable, whatever that means. And S9 means "extremely strong signals", but compared to what? There is no standard for strong

Re check digits and other "unenforced rules"... To understand why the ARRL doesn't enforce the check digit "rule", put yourself in their position. Some contest newbie submits his score with the wrong

I saw the goodness of SGP when operating WPX SSB last year as EI/W5GN with lousy antenna and low power, and the challenge to the European operators for whom English was a second language, struggling

So instead of sending a consectutive serial number, which can take more time in sending, would it be ok for me to give everyone 100 as a serial number, cut to ATT? As long as I log that as the sent n

The ARRL requires that the DX stations send their power in the ARRL DX CW and SSB contests. It does not say to what degree of accuracy does it? So under this thought process everyone who sends KW tha

Why is this being picked apart again? Items in brackets are sometimes considered to be an example of the main point of the encompassing sentence. So, in rule 4.4 below, there is to be check variable

Wow. All the rules I have seen for contests using serial numbers as part of the exchange stipulate "consecutive" or "progressive" serial numbers. That is a defined rule. 73 -- Paul VO1HE ___________

I cannot see why the ARRL is "so resistant" to revising the rules to read either: 1. "You may use any CK other than your actual first year licensed"; OR, 2. "If you use any CK other than your actual

I use a pre-fill DB as a keystroke saver and reasonableness checker. If a discrepancy is such that there is reasonable doubt, I'll ask. For example, unless I know you're sending with a computer, I'll
