The Stew Perry contest is not an ARRL event, so entering in Multi Op does not mean "Single Op + Packet" I was surprised at a few mini packet pileups I had last night. Now I know why. After reviewing
Mike: Rule 6. Seems pretty plain to me. Packet is not allowed for single op, and discouraged for Multi op. Local skimmers appear to be ok, but grudgingly. SP appears to be an attempt to hold on to Bo
Agree 100% Ken. If you look at 3830 (which is only a fraction of the actual entrants) you'll see many multiops that only list one operator.(mostly the LP gang I think) True, I suppose its possible so
I didnt CQ at all so didnt have a sense of the pileups. But a few times when I found some odd DX station the pile built pretty quickly Ken K6MR Agree 100% Ken. If you look at 3830 (which is only a fr
The fact is people like to run packet and do it whether the rules say it is ok or not. The issue is exactly what do you do with them? Another issue is lack of consistency from one contest to another.
I think people using packet cost me more than I gained in this one, (though admittedly my situation is different than the Lower 48 or EU) ... I had probably 15 or so QS with JA where the op did not k
FWIW: An all bands contest with the SP rules would be a lot of fun I think. Has it ever been tried? 73 Steve KL7SB _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@c
Hi Mike, I remember the days before packet, and yes, the rare mults had pileups. But they grew organically. If you happened to be among the early ones in the pileup, you had a chance, and it built s
I understand that but if you are running you have no clue that VK0XX might be 5 or 10kc from you or on another band. Pileup behavior has never been wonderful and it seems worse now but can it all be
Well, Steve, at least you can hear damn well -- you pulled my QRP signal through without much trouble. And so did WL7E! I'd say you both have pretty good stations! Many ops only pay attention to how

Thanks for the reminder, Igor. Sounds like fun, and the contest period even provides propagation possibilities to W6 on several bands, although not strong. :) 73, Jim K9YC On Mon,12/19/2016 2:22 PM,
Thinking about this, I don't think there are any active cw operators in Alaska located above the Arctic Circle. The only possibility might be AL7X in Nome, who is quite a good operator, and makes som
Still great difference in latitude and plentitude with most of you correspondents makes you very attractive DX in this contest. 73, Igor UA9CDC\ Thinking about this, I don't think there are any activ
I'll be in it ...Unfortunately it will have to be from the home QTH, with poor antennas for 40M and up, but will do what I can. 73 Steve --Original Message-- From: CQ-Contest [mailto:cq-contest-bounc
