Most all other contests. If you call ZF9CW and I log you as WN4AFO, you get credit and I don't. If I log you as Zone 4 with correct call you get credit and I don't. In Russian Contest both operators
Live streaming, whether heavily advertised or not, should not be allowed in my opinion.. This gives stations advantage in making the contact to the primary benefit of the one who is streaming. Not to
Why would anyone care whether there was advantage gained or not? I wouldn't care whether he had 300 more uniques than W3LPL or K3LR or had 50 fewer. Doing something that turns out to be wrong is what
So when you are S&P and you tune across someone in time to hear them send their call sign one time do you call them or not? If not, and they actually called CQ, do you wait for them to work whoever d
http://bbcyber.com/cybertest.htm I have never used it but remembered a friend who operated at my station several times wrote this program. Not sure how it compares to Dr. DX. I think I still have my
I think that's a good suggestion, Mike. Looks like KI6RRN is about 4th in SOAB HP. That's very good! If you aren't on East Coast you need better antennas than you would need if you were a W1. The sen
All of them don't have to have a serial number or something difficult to copy. I can tell you that when CQ eliminated the serial number in their 160 contest it became a lot more fun. It is not fun e
In shock at hearing this news. Dave was a very good man and a friend for the last 45 years or more. I met him when he attended John Brown University in my home town. He had just developed an interest
On a related subject It is shocking how many US stations will click and call a DX station who is operating way below 7.125. It isnt a just a few; its a lot. And then there are those who inform the DX
Many times I have gone back to you only copying two or three of the six characters plus recognizing that it's a longer call sign than normal. 73...Stan, ZF9CW ________________________________________
I sent Jon, N0JK, an email. Here is response: Hi Stan: Lauren W0LD has the logs and is the QSL route for PJ4V June, 2021 ARRL VHF Contest. -- Jon _______________________________________________ CQ-Co
Excellent post by N6KT. We operate contests for our own enjoyment. A small amount of enjoyment comes with every caller. It doesnt bother me in the least if someone on CW uses /QRP after their call si
I have no idea how any manual internet spots are of any value whatsoever on CW. If you call CQ you are instantly spotted by every skimmer in the world who detects your signal. You are essentially sel
It is interesting and worth a try but I think not as much fun, particularly on 160m. I envision a pileup on a DX station listening to either or both for an extended length of time trying to copy a co
I thought about skipping the Russian DX Contest this weekend but this is my last week before returning to Arkansas. Skipping it would have no impact on anything except for me missing my last opportun
I have blocked off the dates October 25 through October 31 (7 nights) at my place on Cayman Brac. I will not be going there until later in the year and hate to see it sit idle for a CQ WW Contest. If
It would be interesting to know how much time was spent sending CQ by N6RO on 6m CW versus transmitting in FT8 mode. Did they just work a few they happened to hear or did the make a significant effor
I never paid any attention to this but was looking at 3830 Scores and that category is first on the list. For lack of anything better to do at the moment, I looked at the rules. Holy crap! You could
