What does Multi Single mean to you? What does Multi-Two mean to you? What do these terms mean to the majority of contesters? Does anyone know? Do the organizers know? Multi-Single to me and many that
Mike, This is a great definition of Muti-Single and Multi-Two setup. I do lots of Multi Single and Multi Two operation in RTTY contests. There are two main reasons I use these modes, One is to get mo
Multi single can be viewed either of two ways: Single station where operators take turns in the chair. This can be one or more transceivers. Single station where only one transmitted signal is allowe
The question is should the rules for multi be for the way most people view and operate the class or catered to a select few that push the envelope? Would we have more or better competition if we chan
I wonder.. I just wonder.. How would it be... if we just add a single additional class .. just one.. call it Unlimited Extra.. or Extra Unlimited... and EVERY entry that is deemed as "pushing the rul
Yes.. and let those that want to.. compete with 6+ rigs, many ops, lots of antennas, huge maintenance requirements and a giant truck load of fun.. along with all those that are wannabes.. that cheat
This is kinda where I was headed. We need to revert back to a much more simpler concept of Multi at least for Multi one or Multi single. One rig many ops and fun, not 6 rigs a huge station and lots o
CQWW tried that, I believe. It allowed such things as remote receivers in other countries. It was called the "extreme" category. Only difference was that rule breakers in other categories were still
The big difference between M/2 and M/S is that you can have more than one station running. So there is really not much difference between a SO2R M/S and a SO1R M/S with a 2nd mult station. Ria, N2RJ
Ham radio contesting is not gaming, never has been gaming, and will never be successful trying to be compared to gaming. Please stop comparing it. Thank you. Ed N11UR ________________________________
Interesting Thread. I've been contesting over 40 years. In all that time, 99% of my efforts have been at M/S or M/2 stations. For more than 30 of those years, a multi-single was a station with one ma
"Probably it could return with the modification that it be a refuge for entries that would otherwise face the DQ ban hammer. Either you choose to get DQed or you get shifted to the "extreme" category
I have no problem with Dual CQ SO2R, Yuri. These are great advances in technique and show excellent operator skill and innovation. Time Division Multiplexing 8 operators and radios to a "single" radi
Gerry, Isn't SO2R Dual CQ operation (a-la CT1BOH, N6MJ etc.) is the same type of <quote> "elimination of a lot of people from ever being in contention for top spots in the category" <unquote>? All th
Interesting you are heading down this path - We are a technologist hobby in danger of being run over by troglodytes. Look at any category that allows spotting - is not this the same as multiple opera
Why all this complaining I wonder? We have stations griping about how it's not "fair" and how people have "too many advantages." Guess what - life is not fair!!! In sports the bigger, stronger, faste
If you think I'm complaining, I'm not. You've missed my point. I don't give a hoot -- I enjoy the game, and finishing behind those 8-station guys in M/S is just fine with me. It just keeps eliminatin
Will we have more competition on MS or M2 if we change the rules to what most or many of us think they should be. Instead of only superstations being in the running to win maybe more modest stations
Gerry gets it. Please name one other sport where the playing field is so unlevel or unfair. There are none. The only reason it is acceptable in our sport is that the people in charge of these contest
It would be nice if he TB-WIRES overlay existed for CQWW as it does for WPX. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.
