In the recent NAQP contest, there was a station who used 'JESUISCHARLIE' for his name. This name is too long to fit in the standard Cabrillo field for operator name. I submitted my log with what I co
Oh Lord I worked him too. Had to ask for a repeat. I bet just about everybody asked him for a repeat. I did t think to see what my Cabrillo file did with it. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE sm
N1MM's created Cabrillo File has the first ten characters of the longer name, so I assume that is the defined length of the NAME FIELD for the NAQP Cabrillo file, and there hopefully is no problem. T

If someone had sent in a NAQP exchange, "NAME IS TIM QTH IS MD" I would put TIM and MD in my logger and they would show up in the Cabrillo. I would not put NAMEISTIM in the Cabrillo. If someone sends
Or how about the station using "L" as the name one time, and "ed" the second time? 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at http://reversebeacon.net, blog at reversebeacon.blogspot.com.
I am just trying to understand your logic (as well as the whole point of sending "JESUISCHARLIE" instead of the _NAME_ as required by rules). Let say I speak Ukrainian or Russian and I would send my

The man chose the contest to express his solidarity with the people of France after the terrible loss of life last month. It isn't about politics or "civil", it's about our common humanity and abhor
Almost 5 000 people were killled in Ukraine since the start of the "conflict" in April. Over a 1 000 000 lost their homes. Would it be appropriate for HAM Radio operators to get on the air in the nex
That's fine -- I signed Robin celebrating the life of Robin Williams in Sprint SSB last fall, and Carl last weekend in celebration of the live of Carl Cook, AI6V. I and most of us in the civilized wo
I had planned to wait until after the contest deadline to share this experience with you but now that it's been well publicized, there is no reason to wait. Contest weekend was superb. This was the t
Another reason why I don't think this practice is correct is in the rules for the contest: 10. *Exchange*: Operator name and station location (state, province or country) for North American stations;
Technically, it appears that Greg is correct. The rules do not appear to codify the common practice of using a name in memorial, and so forth. Simple solution? Clearly indicate that this is within th
Well, it doesn't say "REAL operator name." Maybe I could use "Zack Attack" because quite a few of my friends actually call me that. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Co

No doubt those replying with NIL and "73 sorry" could not copy what you were sending. Sometimes , the same thing happens when you ask PSE QSY 28130? -or any other freq-, either a long silence or a re
It doesn't say "REAL operator name." I have several nicknames people use for me. I might say techcnically they are names I could use, since people call me that and I respond to it. 73, Zack W9SZ ____

I really don't see what the big deal is about names. Back in the early part of the century, guys were giving out Rumplestiltskin, Snowwhite, grumpy etc. One year many guys used a popular SK's name. R
