Folks, While this may be a tiresome topic for some, I, for one, would like to see some fact-based vision applied to the process of rulemaking. NS3T's data makes a giant step in that regard. As Zack/K
Yes. In fact I will go a step further and recommend that we also modify the contest logging programs to do a self spot anytime you call CQ. (This idea was thought up by N5KO about 7 months ago.) -- G
This is a neat idea if we are trying to push the guys still using pencils out of contesting. That would probably include newcomers to contesting, as well as N6PN.

OK, so let me see if I've got this straight: The packet cluster system was originally constructed for use by contesters during contests. It was most heavily used during the Big Six contest weekends (
Bruce, I don't think that the intent was to bring the cluster system to its knees. Hopefully there would be adequate preparation for this to be effective; heaven knows the internet itself will be qui
So now the solution to stopping cluster cheats is to force everyone to use the cluster and to effectively discourage or ban those who don't from participating in the contest? In other words, to stop
