Don't confuse ethics and morals. Moral = Is it against the rules or not? Ethical = Is it evil or not, whether or not the rules permit or prohibit it? Anyone who would intentionally carry out the scen

Frank, Why do you insist on painting everything red? Deliberately leaving QSOs out of a log in order to ruin another's chances due to penalties is sabotage and ranks with intentional interference so
99% of us do not deliberately do things that violate rules, ethics, etc. A lot of us will try hard to win (whatever "win" means in our own minds). But remember we can all do our part to keep the spor
Since Zack has brought this up about forgetting to account for the time correctly, I have been told that if I don't have the QSO time correct within a two minute time frame that my log could be disal
Hi James, If you are 'out in the field' you should have a GPS with you. The GPS shows time accurate to well within a second. So do most cell phones. 73, Jim W0EEA ___________________________________
I do have a newer GPS now and the cellphone is never used a lot since I don't carry it with me unless I need it plus that means the battery is usually dead unless I have it plugged into the cig light
I believe that is incorrect. I don't think the time is taken into account at all. Jim, AF6O _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@contesting.com htt
The log checker does adjust the log times to get a best match. I don't know how it does this adjustment. There is very little about the mechanics and algorithms of log checking on the ARRL website. I

As a student at the University of Texas, we were once operating the ARRL November Sweepstakes and successfully got a pizza delivery guy to bring us pizza at the shack. The directions were something l
James, It would be helpful if you would identify the source of this information. I am the ARRL's log checker for the ARRL 160M and 10M contests, and I can tell you for certain that at least for those
Getting the times correct is NOT an issue in ARRL contests. Since there are no time limits in the ARRL VHF contests accurate time is not a problem. So long as a call is in both logs you and the other
Pizza delivery guys might be a bit more nervous these days after the poor pizza delivery guy in Erie PA a few years ago who for his efforts got a bomb strapped to his body, and ended up unwillingly d

If you are using RoverLog and connect your GPS to your laptop, RoverLog can/will update your PC's clock to the GPS time. Pretty handy! De Andy Delgado, KE5EXX/R Not when roving... the computer can be
