Haven't seen a CW Sprint compilation yet, so thought I'd compile the claimed
scores posted so far to Internet.  Anybody got 3830 scores that I can add to
this list?

I had problems on my first few tries and then was able to grab the goods 
without 
a hitch.  So now that I have them maybe I can help out by providing a second 
site: Coquina.cass.usu.edu (129.123.6.39) in \pub\log.  One caveat, however, 
anonymous logins are not allowed during certain "peak" hours (I think 0800 - 
1715 MST).

Subject: Contest QSLing Database
Message-ID: <Pine.3.07.9402081348.C8011-b100000@bach>

Some general replies to the thread:

1) I never actually suggested that the ARRL (or -any- of the contest
sponsors, for that matter) be responsible for maintaining the database.  I
see it as a third-party effort, much like the N7RO QSL Service, or
something.  The contest sponsors have enough to do :-)

2) Anyone that REALLY WANTS A CARD can still QSL the regular way.  I would
hope that this would -improve- their response time by reducing the overall
volume of cards.  I would think that each QSL would actually be a tad more
meaningful, in this case.

3) I think this would increase activity by removing some of the burden of
QSLing from contesters, making it easier for non-contesters to get an
acknowledgement of a QSO, and making it more probable that they do get an
acknowledgement.

4) As far as N.I.L. QSOs go, the database can bump all N.I.L. QSOs to the
log submitter for review.  Also, several of the more common errors (time,
band, one-letter-miscopies, etc.) can be programmed into the search
algorithm and enabled/disabled at the option of the submitter.  I could go
on, but the general point should be made.

This just seems like an idea whose time has come, what with 1.2Gbyte hard
drives and Pentium-based home PC's.  I wouldn't ever dream of discouraging
the true QSL exchange as I love cards myself and QSL 100% on request.  I'd
go for a better signal-to-noise ratio, though...

An even better Idea would be for someone to put it on SimTel. I woudl but I
am unsure of the procedure.

Probably my best sprint score ever. Mailed disk Monday AM,but agonized if
it was worth $5 to post this.
Downloaded N6TR software but could not get running in time.  Used my old
v 5.x NA software, and Gateway programmable keyboard.  Solved the problem
of sending calls in proper sequence with only 1 keystroke per exchange.
Use the customized keyboard for all contests.  For the guy that said it
felt like someone pounded on his head...thats normal for sprint.  How bout
time operated listing in sprint so we can take time for panic attacks and
our scores would be comparable.

Subject: Novice/Tech in DX contests
Message-ID: <44940209005144/0002349723PK3EM@mcimail.com>

Last week there were several messages about how people got started in
contesting, and about how it was difficult to get Novice and Tech (and I
suppose General and Advanced) operators on-the-air contesting experience
in DX contests.  Dan, KI6X, related one frustrating experience.  

I thought his interpretation of the FCC rules was not quite correct and
almost answered him at the time, but in a burst of restraint I decided
to pass it along to someone who would be right.  I've attached a copy
of the letter sent to KI6X today because it should be of interest to
anyone wanting to get newcomers involved in contesting, particularly
with the ARRL DX Contests coming up soon.  

I don't know if the letter was sent to KI6X electronically -  so my apologies
if you get this one first Dan.

Bottom line:  anyone with a valid FCC license can make QSOs from your station
as long as a control operator is present.


 

                                   February 8, 1994

Dan R. Violette, KI6X
1122 E. Sail Ave.
Orange, CA 92665

Dear Dan:

   ARRL Vice President Tom Frenaye, K1KI, shared your recent 
contest reflector comments with us for comment.  I am addressing 
the legal issues; the CAC issues need to be addressed separately.

   First, "A station may only be operated in the manner and to 
the extent permitted by the privileges authorized for the class 
of operator license held by the control operator." [97.105(b)]. 
Thus, a Technician isn't eligible to be the control operator of 
the station while it is transmitting on twenty meters.

   A Technician, however, is eligible to be "a control operator" 
of any station.  This is true even though he or she cannot act as 
THE control operator at times when the station is being operated 
on frequencies beyond his or her license class.

   The Commission specifically acknowledged in the Part 97 
rewrite proceeding in 1989 that messages sent between amateur 
stations on behalf of another amateur licensee are not  third 
party traffic.  See, the Report and Order, Docket 88-139, 4 FCC 
Rcd. 4719 (1989), at paragraphs 39 and 42.  The FCC, at the 
League's request, concurred with the prior holding of the United 
Kingdom's Department of Trade and Industry, that "the passing of 
messages on behalf of other licensed radio amateurs (at home and 
abroad) does not contravene the prohibition against third party 
traffic..."  FCC codified that provision (though not clearly 
enough, really), at Section 97.115(a) of the rules, saying that  
"The prohibition [on international third party traffic with 
countries with which the United States does not have a third 
party traffic agreement] does not apply to a message for any 
third party who is eligible to be a control operator of the 
station."  Notice that says "a" control operator, not "the" 
control operator. 

   Therefore, while an unlicensed person operating with a 
licensed control operator, is limited to communications only with 
the United States stations and with those stations located in 
countries with which the United States has a third party traffic 
agreement.  Any licensed amateur can operate any station and 
participate in international communications as long as there is a 
control operator on hand who is licensed to operate on the 
frequency being used.  So, a Technician, for example, could 
operate at a contest station on 20 meters and contact any station 
in any country as long as there was a control operator present 
who is eligible to operate on 20 meters. 

I hope this helps clear the air on the legal aspects of the 
issue.  The CAC issues should be addressed through your 
Division's CAC representative.  If I can be of further 
assistance, please let me know.  73.

                              Sincerely,
