Hello ham friends, Good evening! I would like to share our experience on this MM Distributed last weekend from Brazil where we used PS2T special callsign. We organized our join on this category 2 wee
Great Report! MM Distributed is a new sensation around the world. 73 DX . .. ... -- PY2NY / SP9NY / V26NY - Vitor Luis Aidar dos Santos http://military-jeep-brasil.blogspot.com.br/ __________________
It sure is creating a buzz. Were doing club presentations throughout the USA on zoom wanting to know more about the WW1X M/M distributed operation and the new category created by WPX committee. In th
I repeat, it is a TERRIBLE idea. The only thing it does is make those operators feel better. I want MORE stations to work, not fewer, those stations with their own calls. 73, Jim K9YC _______________
I'm not trying to be negative but with all due respect if this was such an exciting break thru why were there only a few entries in this so called exciting new category (?) Anyone can invite a youth

I agree with Jim. Perhaps we need some sort of team competition, where five or ten guys at different stations with different calls could pre-register and add scores together. 73 - Jim K8MR I rep
Jim I love what you say 99% of the time and often you beat me to it as you know. How is a DM any different than a Multi-Multi (ok, there is a big difference) but you get the idea. The number of opera
A distributed operation is no different than what the IARU HQ stations do in the IARU contest so it's nothing new. Note that the ARRL doesn't count these scores in IARU for any awards. They are liste
Operator mentoring/learning and camaraderie are present at a physical multi. Far less so A physical multi is usually a superior station, so builds operator skill by providing higher rate. My objectio
One of the great things about contesting is that everyone gets to select their own way to play the game. They may get on for a few hours, a lot of hours, high power, QRP, single band, or maybe they j
5/17 M/M that posted on 3830 operated distributed. So basically 30% of all M/M experimented in this category. Im already in contact - they reached out to us from M/M stations in Europe on how to do.
Again echoing what Jim said I don't see what operating at different locations in a distributed fashion has anything to do with mentoring young operators. They will probably never operate on their own
Exactly. That's probably where the main difference lies. We, "old farts" (per Mike, VA3MW), are still looking at HAM Radio as at AMATEUR RADIO, where radio is the main word. We still have fun buildin
Hi Ray, I think you and the rest of the teams that entered the Multi-Operator Distributed category did a really amazing thing inviting young people. Facilitating that, is above and beyond anything we
Hello, You might want to reach out directly to Ray, he has just unsubscribed from the reflector. Thank you all for constructive criticism, ideas to innovate and support in general. 73, Martín, LU5DX

Im not seeing what the concern is with respect to a multi-multi. Lets be honest, many of the new kids who we've managed to get into the hobby are not putting up huge towers at their home QTHs and the
Yuri, That is indeed a big level of prejudice on your part. Or at least, totally "Non sequitur". Do you know each of the kids who were involved in these operations and their expectations about the ho
It's probably worth pointing out that computer gaming in almost any form (PC, console, mobile) FAR outweighs ham radio in popularity (and financial support) across all age groups, but particularly am
I think this is wonderful! Anything that gets more contesters involved, especially youth, is what we need. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Con
Rich, I don't think Ray is being criticized about opening his stations on Remote Ham Radio to new (youth) contesters. He has lots of enthusiasm about doing that. Good for him. I think the whole issue
