Maybe I'm uninformed - but I figure this violates some rule in SS. Heard yesterday afternoon on 20M: Station A has a nice run going. Station B calls in - an obvious buddy - maybe the same club? Stati
This kind of garbage has been going on for years in the major DX contests. Adds a new meaning to the "Unlimited" class, doesn't it ? I don't suppose you have a recording of this ? 73, Steve, N2IC ___
I wouldn't even say that it is ethical behavior for a multi-op. Unfortunately, the rules are silent on this. 73, Steve, N2IC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ
I have done this once or twice to take a bathroom break. I never really gave the propriety of the process much thought. I can't really think of a specific rule that it violates. Dave Hachadorian, K6L

I would suggest that two stations coordinating that closely together for the benefit of a single score constitutes a single "contest operation" using multiple operators, multiple call signs, and mult
It's really sad (to me) that some contest rules seem to be in a never-ending state of flux in a vain effort to outmaneuver those who would game the system. This is a hobby, and it's supposed to be fu
Ummm, Isn't this kinda what the NCJ SPRINT is all about?? I dunno why this is even an issue. It doesn't violate any rules, or, uh, "ethics" at all. If I'm mistaken, plus tell me why. Seriously, I rea
Well, I guess sour grapes is a bit strong..my apologies, Hal. But, I still fail to see an issue...Multi op is in my interpretation, an operation at a single QTH, using multiple operators, keeping fre
I'm afraid I can't agree with you on that, at least not for unassisted operation. Having someone hold the frequency for you while you take a break or switch to a different band definitely gives you a
And this is specifically why I don't like phone... I'd rather not play... if I have to play unethically... and my enjoyment is ruined by someone else being explicitly unethical... So... look for me i
So you don't ask some one to "call CQ while I go <do whatever>". So you set the CQ repeat to 1.1 seconds and go <do whatever>. I'd never admit to the former ...... Hank K8DD -- "I knew that God put m
I read the rules several times, and I can't find any prohibition of handing a frequency off to a friend. Or taking it back from a friend. I should warn that you can induce a heart attack when you go
Was it planned? If it was planned, I'd certainly have a query about ethics. And that's not to say that anything was positively right or wrong, but I'd certainly raise an eyebrow and ask some question
I have to admit I'm on the fence on this one. If it was a pre-arranged attempt to monopolize frequencies, then it raises an eyebrow. If, as it seems from the description, two guys who just happened t
The "operating arrangement" that bothers me is the explicit agreement to hand the frequency back after the guy has had a chance to go work some stations on another band. For the average (unassisted)
