How do you figure this?? Basically, you are saying EXACTLY what I tried to point out in my previous postings concerning robot operations only now, not only do you want to divorce the operator from t

Yes, you have it right. The operator SHOULD be in the same entity as he is representing in whatever contest his in. For practical purposes, if this is not the case for reasons of necessity, then som

Within reason. As I have stated on numerous occasions, it's a question of necessity over desire. If you can't set up a station at your house but can set one up a few miles away, then go for it. No o

It is only the final word until someone with enough clout determines that it is not fair to him, or wants to be allowed to do something else, and kicks up a stink about it. Rules are just words on a

So Jeff K1ZM and Ken K6LA will be happy if everyone decides to line the coastline of PEI with remote stations as they'd now have some competition? And what about the guys who live there with their t

Not necessarily. Remotely operated stations could be in their own category , as are mult-op stations with no stiputulation as to power output or assistance useage, but they could also be multipliers

I think what he meant was that you don't have to wait for some extended period of time to see the score published. You know as soon as it is tabulated. 3830 gave you the results of a few when they go

This might be true if the sole purpose of their contesting was to win. Seems to me that these guys might not have been "into it" to begin with. I know that the two times I've logged onto the site, i

This is what made it more fun for me in the WPX contests. I probably never would have gotten my best score ever had I not been in a battle with another local op in the SSB contest and I may have pac

The only remote possibility that real-time scoring could be construed as assistance is when you see a single band operation and know that he would be on that band only. Bit of a stretch as you still

One way to get rid of many cut numbers would be to eliminate the totally useless RST in contest exchanges. Make the exchange something worth copying. 73 -- Paul VO1HE _______________________________

You're quite right, John. If cut numbers are to be used, then they must be standardized. And they really should not be used for the vital part of a contest exchange; leading zeros excluded. 5NN is fi

Although your point is valid, it is legal if it has been agreed to in advance that cut numbers are acceptable and the precedent seems to have been already set. 73 -- Paul VO1HE _____________________

I'm in the process of rebuilding a SB220 so should I be considering a banana socket and, if so, where could I acquire said beast? Are they hard to fabricate? 73 -- Paul VO1HE _______________________

Never mind the results... I'd just like to be able to participate in the survey but, alas, I'm not in the right country. Or so it would appear as you cannot un-select the State. You'd think in this d
