I am afraid that /R and /IM are not permitted by FCC rules because the /R prefix belongs to Russia and the /IM prefix belongs to Italy. Of course the very popular /M and /P calls are also not permitt
Why are we splitting hairs here??? It seems to me that this is the wave of the future considering the rapid progress in the state of the art!! Go with the flow or not! it's all up to you... Just don'
I could spend paragraphs pointing out where Paul's argument is twisting the meaning and intent of the rules, as I'm sure many others can as well. And we will end up going down the same "slippery slop
Took you 3 days and this is hte best you could come up with Paul...........Same story. Mike W0MU The ARRL Contest Update for February 25 reports that A team of operators mounted the first totally rem
Give us a seperate category for remote ops. Then Paul will finally be happy and K4VV would have won their category, too. Seems like a WIN-WIN situation for everybody, doesn't it? ;-) 73, Olli - DH8BQ
How in the world do you come up with that? It's simply a multi-multi contest station, like hundreds of others around the world, but with the operators NOT in the same room. No different from K3LR, W3
If it involves anything to do with the internet and contesting Paul will never be happy. Come on over to Topband where we are having the same old tired conversation over there too.. Oh how great thin
I am not seeing any rule violations. They did not solicit contacts by emailing or texting, the internet connection was just a long speaker and keyer wire. If all transmitting and receiving antennas a
Ron, I can see it now. Being the remote controlled stations are at a disadvantage due to Internet latency, and will be in their separate category, I can see it already that a non-remote station will
No that is not correct. These days the correct way is to put the country designator before the call sign i e R/K4BAI or IM/K4BAI or PJ4/K4BAI. After the call sign you put information about for exampl
Actually, the reciprocal agreement between the US and Canada requires you to sign N1UR/VE2 not VE2/N1UR. Ed N1UR _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@con
Actually, not so Ed, VE1/W1VE or W1/VE1RM is the accepted international standard. In the US and Canada, no authority is going to get bent out of shape if you do it the other way around. Of course, I
At one time the FCC requirement was supposedly VE1RM/W1 but someone cited the regs a while back saying that is no longer the required form. Unfortunately, I don't recall where that discussion took pl

Yes, Ed is 100% correct. Under the terms of the US-Canada agreement, visitor must identify using his or her call sign followed by a call area suffix, e.g. VE3ABC/W9 or N1ABC/VE3. http://www.rac.ca/en
Actually, not so Gerry. Perhaps the authorities might not get bent out of shape if you used the standard international order, but the letter of the law is clear in both countries. For reciprocal oper
I dont think all country follow reciprocal and correct use of prefix. I mean CEPT have prefix in front of callsign, and reciprocal should have callsign at the end. But use of Remote is totally forb
