Perhaps it shows the importance of LoTW compared to those other programs. It may be of utmost importance to you or me, but the ARS world is a big place, with lots of different people with different p
Who's going to enforce this? One of the side effects of in-depth rules is that the more rules added, the more cheating happens, inadvertent as well as purposeful. And the more interpretation is neede
Easy there Tyler! It isn't a closed mind, but examples of questions that WILL be asked!. I'll bow out of this thread now, sorry to have upset you. - 73 de Mike KB3EIA - ______________________________
I suppose then you won't like my proposal for a "Crummy Station" Category? hehe Sorry, just had to say that! 8^) `- 73 de Mike KB3EIA - _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mail
I've had a PSK31 station at field day for the past three years, and it has been very nice for two reasons. First is that there is plenty of activity, at least enough to pick up a fair number of 2 poi
Hehe, I know that one! Some folks want to tell you what the color of their laptop is..... 8^) I'm hoping that eventually the psk'ers will shift to PSK63. That should make it about as fast as a CW QSO
Hi Rick, Which is the criminal statute that "self spotting" falls under? Is it a misdemeanor or is it a felony? A forged log? I'm being a little facetious here, because you probably want to separate
I have seen some "contesters" berate newbies for: not answering fast enough Not calling CQ correctly Calling a station in normal fashion saying "Please copy" Saying "thanks" Early on, I caught some f
Yup. What I try to do is to give a short tutorial. Then when the new guy or gal makes a mistake, I'll first tell them don't worry, then I'll explain what they might try next, such as not calling the
Not much we can do to stop someone. But let us look at the process this cheater would have to follow. 1. Cheater would first have to use a callbook, or better yet one of the web lookup services. Then
The problem as I see it is that believe it or not, there are a lot of people out there that don't like contesters at all. Seems they think we clog up the bands, and play the he who has the most power

One of the things that got me started in HF and the idea of radiosport was that I was invited as a technician out to our club Field day, and I operated while a (very patient) control OP logged at the
It is going to be a *hard* sell to both the contesters and sponsors of state QSO parties that it is imperative to them to change their designators so that it is convenient for county hunters only! Ar
Actually Ron, I think that this statement cuts to the heart of the issue. I'm still taking heat - from around the world - for those additions. Which is why I get a little amused when I hear about spo
There will be several, operating in different counties. Your software will handle it in either of two ways. 1 - by accounting for the different counties automatically when you set up the software. Th
Here is the reason: Last year, we only required in-state logs to submit hardcopy summary, and the result was that almost 40 percent of our logs came in without a summary at all. Since we generate the
The typical mistakes we find are lack of the EPA/WPA mults. The party uses sections instead of states. Another problem is that blasted 1.5 point CW QSO point value. Depending on where you round up, i
Rex, You might start your own contest and show us sleepyheads how to do it. ;^) The impetus for the paper summary sheet requirement *was* the electronic log submission process. I set up the log email
I should clarify that the PAQSO wants cabrillo files also. I think that somewhere along the line, there was a popular misconception that we required log submission via pony express, and that they nee
