No - it's the number of QSO's made my F6KHM, as reported in his log. Is the -N because they did not turn in a log, so it could No, he turned in a log. Not in log, you lost the QSO plus a 3 QSO penalt
This is not meant to pick on Jamie... The fact that 36 logs worked 8P1A in CQWW CW probably just means that 35 people jumped on the incorrect 8P1A cluster spot, and didn't take the time and effort to
I'm looking for some audio snippets from Field Day for a talk I'm giving at the local radio club ? Anyone have any ? Both good and poor operating practices would be instructive. 73, Steve, N2IC _____
The scoreboard still displays correctly with Firefox after you hit "OK". I presume the warning just means that you'll have to do a refresh every hour. The scoreboard is pretty slick looking ! However
Hi Mark - Sorry to bust your bubble, but I think you're looking at the QSO points column, not the QSO column. The winner (VE3EJ/VE7ZO) had 2369 QSO's. Thanks for noticing ! Bernie and I considered it
How about simply getting rid of all HQ stations as a special entity ? Create a multi-multi, single-location category, that anyone can enter, rather than this nationalistic entity. 20 years ago, befor
There's another aspect of SO2R that makes it less useful than you might think -- SO2R is only useful when you have a band that you can effectively CQ on, and other bands that are effective for S&P at
So, let me get this straight....The published e-mail addresses for NAQP log submission doesn't work ? Uh, shouldn't a high priority be placed on fixing this before the CW NAQP this weekend ? I would
I always take my Bencher paddle carry-on to prevent damage, and yes, security people always ask questions. So what ? They ask what it is. I tell them it's for sending Morse Code. Sometimes they swab
The original source for the "2 dB improvement" quote probably comes from QST, September 1966, "Station Design for DX" by W3AFM: "Incidentally, in progressive antenna changes at W3AFM, increments of o
No, Bob, let me tell you how it really works for a loud station in the western USA, like me... N2IC: CQ Contest CQ Contest November Two India Charlie Other station: QRM...QRM...Eight...QRM...Why...QR
Guys.... The ARRL has asked for comments on the lastest FCC R&O and it's effect on the current band plans by October 31. See http://www.arrl.org/?artid=6864 and/or send comments to bandplan@arrl.org
The problem is the "strictly defined and enforced" clause. There is no such clause. Consider the following behavior, which is not uncommon for some high-scoring single-op (unassisted) operators: - Lo
Most of the limited-experience callers also run low power to poor antennas. Therefore, they not only waste your time, but you risk losing your run frequency (because other stations cannot hear them),
I agree with Mark. If the other station was there first, then the newly-arrived rare mult doesn't necessarily get priority use of the frequency. This happened to me numerous times in CQWW Phone. I wo
This may be a dupe of a thread from almost a year ago, but I thought the timing was right, with CQWW CW this weekend. Of all the contests, CQWW CW seems to be afflicted with the worst examples of DX
Already exists: http://home.iae.nl/users/reinc/TLF-0.2.html Has a TR-like interface, free, open source. Nice work by PA0R. 73, Steve, N2IC _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest m
Okay, we have beaten this horse to death, now, for another ethical/rules question. What would you say about a perennial top-10 finisher in Sweepstakes who year-after-year submits his log after the pu
I totally support all 5 points, and have operated this way for as long as I can remember. For my own, personal list, I would add: 6. We may only make post-contest changes to our log using information
