The CR3L Team should reconsider their decision to change from M/2 to M/M. Their clear intent was to enter M/2 and posting their score on 3830 as such immediately following the CQWW CW is evidence the
What exactly is "unsportsmanlike" about it? They (apparently) qualified for both M/2 and M/M ... equally. They posted to 3830 and had to choose one at that point, but they had the option to choose ei
Well, if more people is thinking on this way, I see a short live to our hobby Is not about the rules, is about the ethics, gentleman's We don't need people looking for the small letters of the rules
As long as they legitimately qualified for more than one category I can't see a single ethical problem with them choosing which one they want to declare for within the window that the contest sponsor
GM! They thing is that they choose a category BECAUSE they saw other scores If 3830 doesn't exist, what do you think, they will be M2 or MM? If all have a PROPORTIONAL, if all is "normal", MM will do
The only way to stop this other than intimidation, which I think is uncalled for in contest that we do for fun and a piece of paper or plaque, would be to require entrants to declare their intentions

The thing is, in both cases the ops would be following the rules as the categories overlap. Rudy N2WQ Sent using a tiny keyboard. Please excuse brevity, typos, or inappropriate autocorrect. _________
Is it possible that the CR3 team actually broke the M2 rules and reclassified themselves into MM? Maybe they inadvertently transmitted on more than two bands at once? ________________________________
I agree with David If I entered the Ten Meter Contest this weekend and made CW and SSB Qs, I should be able to choose which category I finally enter... CW, SSB or Both I see this as an allowed action

Not really. Proportionality only makes sense if you are comparing identical stations- equipment, skills, teams, etc. CR3L has demonstrated that you can do more with less. In the extreme example, a SO
Hi Guys, Probable some one is missing one important step, even 3830 is irrelevant because isnt an official listing, CR3L submit the log as M2, and AFTER resubmit the Log as MM. Even this is not forbi
Well, really not only CR3L members thik on this way, and thats bad for our hobby Please CQWW CC, avoid the entry I sent in my log and put me in an entry where I can win a plaque or certtificate, hi h
Or as I said earlier, the postings to 3830 can be made at any time, but they don't become visible to anyone till after the log submission deadline. Joe WB9SBD Sig The Original Rolling Ball Clock Idle
I simply can't, for the life of me, figure out what so many are objecting to. The jump to MM can't have been a guaranteed win, since how do we know all the scores had been reported to 3830? Maybe one
This gets into the topic of a relatively new construct for CQWW - Overlay categories. For example, the Classic overlay category - As long as you only used 1 radio and no spotting, then you can enter

Gentlemen, The easy way to correct this from happening in the future is to amend the rules for the contest to proscribe disclosing your score before the deadline. If they were only going to place 2d
The censure of the CR3L guys makes no sense to me at all. M/2 is after all M/M with an added handicap. M/S is also M/M but with yet further handicap than that applied to M/2. If CR3L operating within
I can't either figure out why such vitreous objections all based on speculation. Very few facts have emerged and coupled with much speculation has created the 'typical' ham radio lynch mob. Guilty be
"The purpose of the categories is to set a maximum bar (e.g., single vs. many operators, low vs. high power, etc.), not minimum." EXACTLY!! Dave AB7E The purpose of the categories is to set a maximum
They didn't cheat to see other scores. Those other scores were freely posted and public information. You still haven't explained precisely what is unethical about any of this. Specifically, why is it
