Last weekend, 11 Europeans called me on 1804. Should I delete those contacts? 73, Scott K9MA -- Scott K9MA k9ma@sdellington.us _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list
Do not delete them! You did nothing wrong. It is their issue for transmitting outside the band. Up to the log checkers to detect and penalize them, not you. Randy K5ZD Last weekend, 11 Europeans call
Same thing happened to me when I was on 1801.JeffSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -- Original message --From: k5zd@charter.net Date: 1/28/20 9:04 PM (GMT-05:00) To: 'K9MA' <k9ma@sdelli
The Committee should "delete" them and ask our friends to check the band plan carrefully before the next CQWW. I've seen at least 3 new mults below 1810KHz, working them would change my score a lot.
Most likely the ones who called me were accidental: Just clicking on the spots without checking the frequency. One issue is that, if they delete the contacts afterwards, and I don't, I get the NIL pe
Why not DQ them all right away. This is not only about contest rules. This is violation of their licenses... 73 de Mats RM2D _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ

Hi Scott, IMHO... no. While I do not condone improper operation, and I know many if not most EU stations are not permitted below 1810 kHz... you did not operate improperly. You operated within the
It is easy to do accidentally, especially if spots are not sorted by frequency. However, if multiple logs show that a particular station has done it repeatedly..... 73, Scott K9MA Why not DQ them all
That issue can be easily avoided by the own EU operators: - Leaving the radio as it comes from the EU dealer (no extended transmit modification). My radio can't tx outside the permitted band limits.
Would you still get penalized if you X-QSO'd them out? It'll be ignored and you won't get points for it, but you'll still maintain the integrity of your log. 73, Dennis NJ6G One issue is that, if the

Every time I operate a major phone contest (which isn't too often nowadays) I get called by USA stations on 14.140 or 7.080 if I choose to operate there. (usually I am looking for EU's if I am down t
IMHO... Why do you contact the station when you know it is violating the rules ? Who has the biggest fault ? Just a simple question And happily we have the Contest Committee who fully know their job
"It is easy to do accidentally, especially if spots are not sorted by frequency." It was easy to do in the old days, too. Just forget to watch the dial, or get confused about whether you were using t
Well, one could argue that it's not my job to enforce the band limits in another country. Also, it's possible some stations have special permission to operate there. Again, it's not my job to know th
Scott, you just can't do it accidentally if your radio can't transmit outside of the EU band limits. Most of the radios purchased in Europe come with that restriction. And also if you set your countr

Youre asking that question to the wrong op. Alas, I didnt work any EU stations this year, limited time due to family commitments. And in the heat of the competition, who thinks about the frequency al
They definitely should get the ticket (penalty). I don't think they should be disqualified unless there are a lot of "mistakes". 73, Scott K9MA It was easy to do in the old days, too. Just forget to
Here's a simple answer. Why should the running station have to waste time trying to explain to ... maybe even have to argue with ... the station that is calling? The guy doing the running isn't viol
"Why do you contact the station when you know it is violating the rules ? Who has the biggest fault ?" Easy: The person who operated beyond the limits of her/his license has ALL the fault. As has bee
