I want to take a moment to dispel the notion suggested by Yuri that DXpedition operating strategy is all about financial considerations. It simply isn't for well planned operations. It is the intent
I tend to agree with Yury. CY9 was much more balanced between modes, than the 3D2 (or least that was my perception). It might be so that at the time of Johns (GD) participation in KP5 and KP1, that t
GM Matts/Yuri I agree with you about the ARRL's DXCC credit system. A mistake for sure. As a life long low power operator it has taken me 54 years to reach 40 meter DXCC
It took me 13 years to get 327 DXCC, challenge 1900+ and 9 band DXCC including 160. I did my first DXCC in one year from a mobile station with a 6 foot whip. I did most of it on CW. I really dont see

For various reasons, I'd like the ARRL to issue DXCC awards similar to how they handle WAS, with many different endorsements. At least they could provide a general WSJT-X endorsement. WSJT-X confir
Some of you may have seen the postings elsewhere that ARRL will no longer admit fully automatic QSO's for contest and DXCC credit (CQ's and QSO initiation are fully automatic, with no operator interv
I'd like to thank John W2GD for taking his time to comment on my post. Obviously, opinion of such well known and famous contester and Dxpeditioner is greatly appreciated here. Also thanks to the Mode
I'm not fan of ARRL for just about anything, but it seems twisted logic to accuse them of "greed" for not making FT/JT a separate DXCC award when they would clearly make more money if they had made i
This discussion puts me in mind of a quote from the religion of Bokononism. Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before," Bokonon tells us.
The DXCC program rules amendment requires a board of directors approval. Other awards are administered directly by staff in the awards department. If you seriously think this is a motion that deserve
Neither FT8 nor FT4 are fully automatic using WSJT-X or JTDX. I'm not sure which app you were using (there are others), but both of those two require the operator to initiate each CQ and each QSO b
I was dead wrong. It looks to me like it is pretty easy to use JTDX in automatic mode, where it automatically calls CQ after your last contact. Sorry for whatever confusion I added. 73, Dave AB7E
And then there the "inconvient truth" called Fox and Hound mode from the DX side. Does cueing calls up in a stack on the window count for the language of the DXCC and Contesting rule? And how about h
There's an ad for fully automated software for ft4/8 today on one of the portals. It also has the warning not to be operated unattended(violation of FCC rules). So Zack and Dave, I agree with both of
GM Ria A few comments: I have no information and did not comment on "conspiracies about it being a money thing " Your achievements are very nice. Did you use Low Powe
The answer is no it doesnt count as automatic operation. And since the final decision rests with the ARRL awards branch anyway, the rule as drafted is sufficient. On a side note, even looking through
Such QSOs will not be counted. They are likely to be flagged as invalid under the rules. Ria N2RJ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com htt
