Hi group, I'm a member of the PA6Z contest group and we're about to take up a technique that we haven't used earlier, namely that of multiplier passing. With this, I mean: asking a station on the ban
This is very popular in VHF contests and passing a station to 2 or 3 additional bands is common. i have found this less common in HF contests and typically only see a 'wer are QRV' sent when on 20m a
Frank, As long as your entry category permits more than one signal on the air at the same time, passing of multipliers is one of the most effective methods of increasing multiplier counts. For exampl
I agree with W5OV, but let a few more provisions: - If you are running several independent, single-operator, single-band entries from one location, you cannot pass multipliers (or non-multipliers) fr
Frank, Multiplier passing, in every category of entry is a technique employed by every winner. Every successful entry will ask a station to QSY to another band when it is likely they will not work th
if you are in a class that allows multiple transmitters or bandchanges then it is perfectly acceptible and used by most big stations. macros to aid passing on cw and rtty are built in to n1mm logger
I think that it's a normal and accepted practice with no negative baggage. 73, de Hans, K0HB/K7 Hi group, I'm a member of the PA6Z contest group and we're about to take up a technique that we haven't

Hi all, Thanks for the many positive reactions, and tips and warnings, about the use of mult passing. I'm now convinced that this is a technique that we should start using at PA6Z. 73, Frank PA4N ___
As long as the rules don't specifically prohibit it, I don't know why it can't be done. In fact, I have had several stations in HF contests ask me to QSY to another band to work them. It happened twi
Frank, No, it's not prohibited. But as a little pistol, if I may, a few words of advice: Let your team know that if you ask me to QSY for your benefit, and I respectfully decline, don't make an issue
Let me chip in from the casual contesters side. Often, I like to play in a contest and although I appreciate a station asking me to QSY for a multiplier, what most stations do is not "ask" they "orde
Rob, As a single op (and a multi), what is the best way to ask you to QSY? Also, how would you like this to happen the best way for you should you decide to do so? 73, Guy, N7ZG _____________________
I have never been asked to QSY while I was running stations. But as a QRPer (most of the time), I don't spend much time holding a frequency! But when I'm in S&P mode I have often been asked to QSY an
I apologize if this is redundant, but I have always taken the attitude that I should only seek to move people if I was prepared to QSY, or had another station from my QTH on the other band, and was t
Yes, passing someone to other band is the most wining strategy you can do, IF you do it on the right way and on the right time. If we get a "No", It's no problem, but mostly we get a YES, or LATER. S
well it takes me about a half an hour to change bands, and from 160 to 40 it requires me to walk from one end of the property to the other............ i just say sorry OM mike w7dra ________________
Hello Guy, There's not really "a best way", all a contester has to do (as with all human relationships) is be polite. If I feel like I'm being "corraled" into qsying I won't move an inch. Contesters
Understood Rob. My question expands the scope of the discussion somewhat into the more arcane aspects of technique. Is there an NCJ article or link to the contesting archives WRT this topic? I'd like
So, Rob - if I would ask you really politely (on CW) : "DR ROB CAN U QSY TO xx MHZ NOW PSE WE NEED U ON xx"? Would it be polite enough for you? Just curious. 73 Yuri VE3DZ ___________________________
