Yes it does. As Tree pointed out - if someone gets 57 of their friends the air work him and only him this is just wrong. I am glad you brought up sweepstakes - I happen to get on in that contest some
It is possible it would, but if the rate is slow and you can talk a guy through an exchange then I do not see how much more it will slow you down to explain to him that he should work a few more stat
It has been discussed for years for several contests - CQ WW DX and SS are the two contests where the idea of removing all unique QSOs has been talke about that I know of personally. The CQ RTTY cont
I use a very simple R/C low pass filter. It uses one resistor and one capacitor . I do not recall the values I ended up using I just played around until I was happy with the sound. I did look at th
Sure there is - I run two radios in the VHF contests that I do single op just like I do in the HF contests. Yes. You can cover two bands at a time. Generally you call CQ on one radio and you tune the
Most of what I have seen has been people saying they are against a new category. Over the history of the CQ-Contest list you will find similar calls for new categories by someone and there will alway
While I was making the last post about SO2R and information I was reminded of my early years in radio contesting. Some of my favorite contests did not have a QRP or even low power category. We were a
KI5DR was one of the ops in the K5NA/M effort. http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/3830/2006-09/msg01066.html Apparently self spotting is allowed in the Texas QSO party - maybe even encouraged
As far as callsign phonetics go - I usually advise folks to use two different sets for their callsign. I find that it seems to work best if you say your callsign with different ways - we all have pro
In SS the spots should never detract you - with so few mults it is not very hard to work them all. N5KO gave a talk to the NCCC some years after moving out to the west coast. They wanted to know how
In SS 2009 W1MX and other OT's (or OT Club Stations in this example) licensed in 1909 will not be distinguished from new SS ops/stations that are "first licensed" in 2009. Year after year the situati
Do the rules allow you to make a solicitation via packet in the Multi category? I would think they would not allow this in any category - if they do that is what needs to be changed. -- George Fremin

I hate it when folks do that too me. I turn off the spotting assistance and am doing the contest with my two radios and operating in an unassisted catagory. I dont want folks feeding me the spotting
Contest Secret(tm): Take asprin before the start of any contest. Just ask N5KO or K5TSQ or me and I am sure many others. -- George Fremin III - K5TR geoiii@kkn.net http://www.kkn.net/~k5tr __________
mmmm.... I do not feel this way. When I do an unassisted effort I want to do an unassisted effort. I think it is a good bet that in SS most folks will need the rare mults for most of the contest so e
I dont see an issue with what you describe Mike. But what if during the SS I ask folks I am working to tell me where the VE8 is or for that matter if I keep telling folks on frequency that I need VE8
This comes back to the post I made a few weeks ago. http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/CQ-Contest/2006-11/msg00535.html Where I said that I hate it when people try to 'help' me in this way. I
