I don't there is any doubt about where part 97 FCC stands. You can't be compensated for "operating" a radio. Operating for no compensation but having your result possibly resulting in a cash prize is

With the upcoming ARRL SSB contest, why not see if you can actually beat us this year by voluntarily abiding by the US Phone Sub bands. Its really kind of silly to think you have won something (other

Kelly, I agree with you that, like VEs out your way are not challenging the East Coast of NA regardless of sub band advantage in this contest. However, there are many more stations than VY2ZM and VY2

Jorge, I would agree with you if the only certificate you could earn is a PY/LU/CX certificate and there was no way to win CX with other competitors. In ARRL DX, there is only a W/VE certificate. The

Gerry, An easy way to prove your hypothesis. Voluntarily stay below the clear air line and see if the results work. The Single Op Assisted means nothing honestly, since there isnt any VE competition

Ed VE4EAR, has nicely made my case as to why its unfairly advantageous to be able to operate below the US subbands. To be clear, the current open letter is not attempting to change the rules. Its to

Hi Tom. Thanks for your comments. Actually, as soon as I saw that the WAE and Russian DX contests were must wins to be qualify for WRTC this time, I didnt even bother. I can never get those contests

Arguing the "West Coast" is not NM is no different than calling W1 just W1. W1 and W2 are equally as capable in the DX contests to win, it depends on where you are in W1 or W2. And the area is not ho

Frank, I have never focused on the reflection points. But obviously, that is where the interaction is most critical. I notice that my path to EU is virtually the same as K3LR, just somewhat shorter.
