Dont forget, in the Russian contest, the contest sponsor penalizes stations if the receiving party doesnt get the information correctly into their log. To simplify, both stations have to copy correct
I thought you had to have correct information in your log for contacts in any contest... So which contests allow us to do half the job? Dave AFP -- Dave Edmonds PK Ministry Webs 864.288.6678 dave@pkm
In Russian dx test both sides need proper QSO otherwise nobody gets credit. Other contests allow one side to have a busted QSO. Ria N2RJ -- Ria Jairam, N2RJ Director, Hudson Division ARRL - The natio
Most contests don't penalize the SENDING station when the RECEIVING station doesn't write it down correctly. Chuck W5PR _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Cont
CQ WW. All you need is the correct callsign for 99.99% of the contacts. The logger does the rest. Gerry W1VE _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contest
Eric, this is a very valid point. Some people like it, others not. I belong to the first category - not because I am Russian but simply because this adds a new dimension to overall skills in a contes
Wow. Some folks need to learn to trim their messages. All contests allow half the job. Remember those silly 59, 599 reports. Doug "The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its l
Most all other contests. If you call ZF9CW and I log you as WN4AFO, you get credit and I don't. If I log you as Zone 4 with correct call you get credit and I don't. In Russian Contest both operators
Not so for the non-USA side of CQWW. You have to get the zone correct for worked USA stations. My (preliminary) LCR from operating N2IC @ N3HBX showed nearly 900 QSO's relied on their databases to in
That's why I don't operate the RDXC. Getting dinged for the other guy's inability to copy isn't right. Barry W2UP Other contests allow one side to have a busted QSO. Ria N2RJ I thought you had to hav
Stan must have used Super Check Partial to obtain the WN4 prefix:) John KK9A Most all other contests. If you call ZF9CW and I log you as WN4AFO, you get credit and I don't. If I log you as Zone 4 wit
It is just different philosophy Barry. Two way QSO means correct info in both logs. For the duration of a QSO you are partners with the op on the other side, responsible for the correct 2 way transfe

It's like Original Sin. You are damned by default. And it's difficult to be redeemed in a contest environment, especially on a sin by sin (QSO by QSO) basis. 73, Ken, AB1J It is just different phi
That really depends. Russian and French (TO/TM) calls come to mind. Ria N2RJ -- Ria Jairam, N2RJ Director, Hudson Division ARRL - The national association for Amateur Radio +1.973.594.6275 https://hu
What if the other person not sure, deletes your call from their log? You end up losing that QSO. I don't have insight into log checking but I'd imagine that if the computer can determine that the cal

And that depends on whether you keep your wl_cty.dat file up to date. Take a look at it. 73,Ken, AB1J That really depends. Russian and French (TO/TM) calls come to mind. Ria N2RJ --Original Message-
While I do update it immediately before the contest, sometimes stations come up with a brand new callsign for a contest. I know this has happened before. 73 Ria, N2RJ -- Ria Jairam, N2RJ Director, Hu
Actually, it was after I received a UBN for the 2001 Russian DX Contest when I decided to change my very good VA3UZ call for current - available at that moment (and not-so-good) VE3DZ. A couple of hu
True, but no additional penalties though. On the other hand, if in CQWPX of other contest with similar approach, I call you and you get my call as UA9CBC instead of UA9CDC, what is the incentive (exc
I recall a CQWW CW 10+ years ago where I was dinged for a busted call. I had recorded the contest and went back to listen to the exchange. The guy sent his own call wrong! I sent the audio snippet
