I've considered operating EI/W5GN remotely, but: But is it LEGAL???? For example, this statement in the CommReg (Irish FCC) rules, would seem to prevent me from operating EI/W5GN from Dallas, and I'm
Albert, I love your C21 idea! Fantastic. You have my 100% support. I sure could use some more multipliers. I prepared a short checklist and a very rough budget estimate on a napkin over breakfast thi
I plan on being around, as do the rest of the younger generation(s). I believe there is nothing wrong with remote operation. This is 2012, not 1950. Technology has brought waves of advances with tran
I think the suspected situation was NOT that one person ran one or two remote stations. I think he suspected that one person, sitting in one country and using one station in that country, used anothe
You don't need remote stations for that, just "good friends". This kind of cheating was present already 30 years ago when nobody knew how to spell "internet". ;-)) 73, Olli - DH8BQA I think the suspe
I recall similar language being printed on U.S. licenses in the past -- but it's not on my current license, issued in 2004. Nor can I find it in the current FCC regulations. Of course, regulations ob
How do repeaters operate legally if the Control op must be located at the Transmitter? Station control via remote means has been allowed at least in the USA for a long long time. Mike W0MU W0MU-1 CC
Late one night in a CW DX contest two years ago I tuned across one of the top East Coast contest stations (don't ask me which one because without a recording I'm not going to say) working a moderatel
I'm not sure that's cheating, Dave. In fact, I hope that it isn't, because I have done it. A few years ago I was in Arizona for the winter, when some DXpedition that I needed was active. I visited WA
Per the ARRL Rules in Contests: 3.3.An operator may not use more than one call sign from any given location during the contest period. (I am not sure how the ARRL defines location. My lot? My home st
If they use a different --transmitter-- and a different --call-- and it's a different --operator-- then it is allowed. This is exactly how PVRC and NCCC rack up those big club aggregate scores in Swe
I'm assuming these rules apply to QSO's IN THE CONTEST. If I were using someone else's station signing a different call in a contest and had a personal sked with someone that was not a contest QSO, w
Hi, I don't care where Op is, since I believe He sign with call from where the TX/RX are. So, I can turn antenna to where signals are coming from, not to where his computer is. We can keep kicking de

A little clarification.....AFAIK, in the 2011 SS, there was not a single highly motivated op ("HMO") that did the station rotation routine. perhaps back in 2009 or 2008, but not recently. And the num
I'm sure we've all done that when having friends in the shack and that's perfectly legal, but this was definitely cheating. The two extra callsigns were not ops at the station, and were in fact assig
Luc, For sure excess power it is not a unique Brazilian problem. It exists everywhere and the common approach from contest sponsors will make sure the problem will remain forever unless new technolog
Thanks for the clarification. What is interesting is that for contests 50mhz and up there is also a restriction on Antennas and receivers. 1.3.A transmitter, receiver, or antenna used to contact one
Dave, guys, As a moderatly rare DX station this situation happens many time to me. With electronic keyers its harder to recognize the fist of the operator and sometime they change their frequency a l
I very much like the idea of a club or list of people who pledge to follow ALL of the rules in contesting. We need to find a way to celebrate the scores of the honorable operators. The WWROF has crea
This is an admirable initiative in some ways. How could any reasonable fair-minded person not sign up? I can't help feeling it may be premature and irrelevant. It appears to assume that ALL of the ru
