FWIW... I was just trying to work my first zone 3 multipler on 15m and a booming N7 station kindly told me to "go away DX only"... have the rules changed or what? 73, Julio VE3FH ____________________
What do you expect, it's SSB :-) I was just casually tuning, giving out a few points to friend in the Caribb. I heard a VE5 on 20 last night ending every QSO with "Thank you, seventy three, q r z." N
Wow. This is a pet peeve. Same country is zero points, but a valid multiplier. I have seen several US stations do this same thing. I can understand not wanting the zero-point QSOs, but it is very uns
No, they haven't changed. Let's be kind and say that the op at the N7 station was mistaken or ill informed. It's either that, or... well, there's a name for people like that, but I don't think its us

I know that one Q.. with a peanut station, doesn't mean a thing to the big boys... but IF I make a Q with a station,... it is NOT in MY best interest to fulfill HIS ego.. by waitin around for an ID..
I'm not a big SSB operator preferring CW, but you're right. I was going to handout a few Qs today just to help others out with an extra Q, but it seemed like every foreign op ignored the rule relying
This weekend I was listening to a pile-up that a CU station had going. It was a pretty good sized pile-up. I listened for at least 5 or 6 QSOs and he never ID'd, not once. One of the W guys he had ju
Agreed. So why not list his call (if you remember it)? 73, Jim _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/li
