At the end of an extraordinary seven week episode, owing as little to the pursuit of truth and justice as Kafkas The Trial, my SOAB Mixed LP submission to the Russian DX Contest 2016 has been confirm
Wait........are you saying the person that is deciding this matter is the owner of the station you beat (P33W) or is heavily involved with this contest and how it is run? W0MU I am told similar recla
owner of the station you beat (P33W) or is heavily involved with this contest and how it is run? I did not beat P33W. I entered SOAB Mixed LP whereas P33W entered SOAB Mixed HP. RA3AUU told me he is
Obvious conflict of interest regardless. RA3AUU has no place discussing this matter with anyone. It would appear that he does not like a LP score to beat his HP station score. Was he the OP? The sten

- - I am most disappointed to learn here of this Saga. Most certainly anyone who knows Bob, either inside or outside this hobby. know him to be a person of the highest integrity and it is unthinkable
In EU5 region we have also reclassification of LZ8E from LP to HP? He is a serious qyalifier for WRTC. Q to comittee: 1.Why do you reclassify him, not another top LP station with almost simillar sco
Dear Bob, In the data analysis world, we have a well known proverb, "If you torture the data long enough, it will confess to anything". Bob,I'm sorry to hear what you've had to endure for the last se
Using RBN to attempt to prove a power violation alone is absurd. We already know that the antennas are different. 4 Square vs Mono Pole Vertical 80m What feed lines are being used? How old are the fe
Also be aware that the skimmers (although statistically very good) will confuse a caller and the running station when reporting SNR. This means that the signal level of a station local to the skimmer

That is most unlikely to happen Ranko.. Obviously the perception of those RDXC guys is that everybody cheats and ;"it is our ball, our game and we call the shots" This contest should be removed from

My thanks to all who have responded both here and by direct mail, I appreciate your support. If I have failed to acknowledge anyone directly, please accept my apologies but a number of other matters
Just filling in one bit of info - the RBN-based "evidence" received from the RDXC did not compare signal reports among multiple RBN nodes, which would have been meaningless for all the reasons Mike e
Ionospheric skywave signal amplitude or strength is a time-varying random variable with a mean and a standard deviation. Difference between strengths of two signals is also a random variable with an
The silence from the RDXC folks is deafening. Not that I ever operated it seriously, but unless they come forward and explain their position reasonably I think they may find that participation may dr
On 15th September, the day following release of the preliminary results of RDXC I wrote the following note to the adjudicators: Quote: In your preliminary results P3F entry in RDXC 2016 is listed in
Perhaps you may get more response if you post on the Russian contest reflector (it is quite active). Or better yet, write to the RDXC Committee directly. Contest sponsors are not obligated to monitor

I basically gave up on Russia DX when I had my score knocked down because I supposedly worked stations that were "not in the contest". Not in the contest? WTF. I worked them; LoTW confirms I worked t
I am not going to be on any side of the argument. But we all know that power cheating exists and proliferates. It has become especially acute after the introduction of the new WRTC selection rules wh

I have been following this thread for awhile now. There certainly appears to be some shady things going on here. Perhaps there should be an organized effort to boycott next years RDXC event. John, W8
