Bob, One station can run or work anyone they want and the station can ONLY work new multipliers. Both stations have to stay on a band ten minutes from first contact on a band before moving to another
Thought it said database, recordings or confirming QSOs. If so, make all the notes you want and fix post contest. Should not be an issue Stan, K5GO Sent from Stan's IPhone ___________________________
Following is a post to the CWops group from Jack, N2JT - Art's brother in NJ. Jack and I exchanged several e-mails this morning, and Jack informed me that the funeral is on Monday at Greenlawn North
John, Take the same operation that goes on in a successful M/2 operation in a DX contest, including two rigs at each station, skimmer, etc. Turn off the amplifiers and you are ready to go. Stan, K5GO
Actually the top score will have about 1800 contacts and about 300 multipliers. In this example one multiplier equals 6 QSOs. If it is late in the contest, the rates have slowed, the excitement of wo
Dave, Absolutely correct. One thing I would add... If you are trying to copy an exchange and someone comes on and sends QRL? I find it is a good idea to respond to that question immediately instead o
There isn't anything "hard" about any of this. There are, however, considerations regarding the number of categories in some contests, especially ARRL where in some cases awards are made for eighty s
Martin, I wonder why you believe it is a mistake for assisted to be "penalized" relative to unassisted? I would agree you would have a point if you also thought the WRTC competition should include as
Martin, Local church sign says "Worry is a total waste of imagination". I think there is too much worry over whether someone might have done something to cheat and not enough time spent trying to imp
The only downside I can see would be if a club with a hundred not-so-serious about winning members, for example, decided they would try to ensure victory for one of their members who was serious abou
Jim, See below... Jim - How might a requirement to cease use of the first call after a second call is used affect the ability for some number of stations to each make a few contacts with one call and
This thread caused me to take a look at the SS records page. I was thrilled to see that my good friend John Dormois won the 4th CW SS in 1933. I don't remember him ever telling me that fact, but he e
Best post on subject I've seen. If all band contacts were allowed you need to be well-equipped on all five bands. I have always thought it possible to make the top ten from here operating single band
Jim, I fail to see where forbidding the use of a previous call after the use of a new one does anything to prevent any abuse. Drop 3.3 and 3.5 and allow someone to use as many calls as they want as l
Seems to me that a published black list should be made and used to filter out bad spots before they ever get to everyone's computer. EK3LR, for example, should not show up on anyone's screen. On a se
We posted our score to the RU site in the last contest for the first time and, although hesitant about doing that, I'll admit it was fun and entertaining. Can't say I would have felt exactly the same
Pete, I did see what you posted. That is not what I am talking about. What you did was click on spots and work them - with some filtering but nothing new. I've never tried it, but what does Skimmer o
Gary, I don't think any opinions about what it takes to be a "player" have anything to do with the subject at hand. You can say you aren't a player if you live in W6 or you are not a player if you do
Gerry, I'm absolutely not saying the sky is falling. In fact in my original post i said it was not a HUGE problem - mainly because if the number of people using it. At what level of activity would it
It doesn't matter if all the single ops leave off the band breakdowns. The same opening notifications and more will be available by looking at the multi-operator categories - particularly M/M. As it
