Wow, had 3 QSOs so far that the other guy skipped his call in the exchange. the rules clearly state the call IS part of the exchange. if you don't send it, I don't log it. 73- Chuck KI9A **Plan your
Just to be sure these guys "save time" by omitting their call, I come back with "Pse your call again" after a 10 second delay. Dunno if they get the point but it makes me feel better! 73/CUL, Jim, N4
I bet I worked the same three people. What gets me also is the people who don't even send "R" at the end but just send CQ again after the QSO. I came REALLY close to deleting one from my log last nig
I had one guy give me 5N as his check. I was surprised at that and don't recall that being commonly done either. --Original Message-- From: cq-contest-bounces@contesting.com [mailto:cq-contest-bounce
I'm one of the guilty. Only my second time doing SS. I "assumed" N1MM put it in, when I setup the exchange. This is my first time using N1MM in SS. Did not realize until very late that it was not. Ch
I'm not a genius when it comes to the rules but, and this is a bug BUT, it seems to me if you QSL'd the report then you are compelled to log it. If you willingly submit a log with contacts you delete
I didn't qsl it...It's not on me to make sure they follow the rules. In my opinion, Mal, they sent an INCOMPLETE exchange, therefore, in being compliant with the rules on my end, it is not a QSO. Try
Had a very small number like that. I knew what their call was, so I just filled in the blank. Didn't hurt a bit. 73, de Hans, K0HB _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing l
Here,too. In fact, one of the ones who did it was a 'big whig' in the ARRL. 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists
The rules say nothing about the order of the items to be exchanged. If you copied their call then it was obviously sent at some point. Presumably you would not have gotten as far as deleting the QSO
Hans I only have experience with 2 different contest logging programs. N1MM & CT. In neither of those programs do you have to enter the callsign from the exchange. There is a philosophy regarding not
If you don't enter the fellows call sign, how does it get into your log? Hans I only have experience with 2 different contest logging programs. N1MM & CT. In neither of those programs do you have to
In CT for SS logging it automatically goes to the callsign entry as the first thing for every QSO. Then it steps through the order of serial number, precedence, callsign, check and section. It's not
Here is exactly what I said: ""callsign from the exchange""....... The very first thing you enter, in any logging program, is the callsign. That is how you determine who are you about to work and not
Mal: What they are talking about is that they had relied on the logging program to pick up their call and put it in the CW message to be sent by the computer for the exchange. They didn't listen to w
Well, I see it different... This is lifted right from the ARRL contest specific rules for SS, look at the very last part. It states clearly how NU1AW would respond to W1AW during a completed QSO. 73-
One of the reasons I like the SS exchange with the callsign embedded in with the other information is that when S&P'ing it gives me the change to do a dupe check without waiting for the exchange to e
