Gosh, but this stuff has been beaten to death with, apparently, no clear
resolution.
In NCJ, May 1996, I have an article published covers all of this "stuff."
Some of the
covered topics in my article include:
The Contest Period
QSO Quality
The Post Contest Period
Why do we have 30 days?
Recording the Contest for later review
Creative Technology
Packet Cluster [and now internet spotting]
Use of Super Check Partial and other Databases
Software Changes
Soliciting QSO
How do I know what is OK?
In the opening paragraphs of the article, I cite how I've been working on this
article for five
(5) years. That means these topics have bounced around forever without
resolution and
without consensus. I was certainly FAR from the first to discuss them in
public.
The article closes with a plea for better contest rules...rules that use
examples that everybody
can understand.
Well, it's probably time to sweep across 160 again....
