I vote for number 2. We don't get paid in this hobby. The only thing
that is hurt is our egos when we don't win. And big deal. We all know
that some contest stations cheat and run illegal power. In the back
rooms in Dayton we all know who they are. And those of us doing it
legally are content with coming behind the cheaters.
My vote: Let them win. I'm in it for the fun.
73 and CU in the next one (whether I win or not!!!!)
Doug WD8AUB
PS If we put as much effort into making our stations as competitive as
possible and towards preserving contesting in general (with proper
promotion of the youngsters and leadership by example) --- rather than
into developing Super Duper CIA Grade Artificial Intelligence Software
aimed at detecting the smallest of grievances so that ALL logs are on a
perfectly level playing table --- then our Contest Hobby will be
enriched.

If you turn one radio all the way down, all you have to do is flip the
switch on your switch box and you get the other radio in both ears
again and your concern is addressed. 73 - Rich Boyd, KE3Q

Yes, I have had visions during contests. The best one was that I was
surrounded behind my chair by about a dozen of my Am. Indian ancestors.
One of them, a child, slipped out of the group and sat in my lap.

Nice letter Dick,
Packet isn't all it seems...Unless you can bust huge piles with one call
it can lead to a serious reduction in your rate as you QSY from one
pile to the next. The S/O guys seem to have better scores than the
assisted , with some big gun stations getting croaked because of packet.
Why not simply allow packet? There's no way to prevent someone from
monitoring unconnected, so Let everyone use it. It doesn't replace
tuning!

Hi!
Have had the opportunity to test the Kenwood TS870 for a few days.
Likes the receiver. Quiet and smooth, not as hysterical as the
ICOM crap....
However, I find one thing very annoying. As I am a CW op primarily, I
prefer QSK at all times. The controlrelay in the 870 is very clanky and
I have not find a way to disable is like I can do with my 850. Is that a
SBTW-(shit behind the wheel) problem or is there a need for modification?
Appreciate any ideas.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) General Information about the FAQ, CQ-Contest
1.01) About this FAQ
This FAQ will be posted every so often to the CQ-Contest mailing list.
If there's something you'd like added to this FAQ, please send mail to
WN4KKN (trey at cisco.COM), and he will update it.
1.02) About CQ-Contest at TGV.COM
CQ-Contest at TGV.COM is an electronic mail reflector dedicated to hams
interested in all types of amateur radio contesting. This is a good place
for contest-related announcements, discussions and rumors. This forum is
more like the NCJ than QST; INFO-HAMS at UCSD.EDU and rec.radio.amateur.misc
are good places to look for a more rounded discussion of the hobby.
Although there is overlap between contesters and DXers, CQ-Contest is not a
DX-oriented group. DX at ve7tcp.ampr.org is an electronic mailing list
(reflector) dedicated to the discussion of DXing. For details on how to
subscribe to this and other mailing lists, consult the section entitled
Related Mailing Lists.
CQ-Contest is NOT the place to announce your score after a contest.
3830 at contesting.com is an electronic mailing list (reflector) for reporting
scores. See the Related Mailing Lists section below for details on how to
subscribe. Jimmy Floyd, WA4ZXA also collects scores and will occasionally
post a summary to CQ-Contest.
Each message you send to CQ-Contest at TGV.COM will be sent out to all the
other subscribers, kind of like a 2-meter repeater that has a coverage
radius of 12,000 miles or so. Think of sending mail to the list as the
equivalent of an ANNOUNCE/FULL message on PacketCluster. Use regular E-mail
to send a message to a specific individual.
1.03) Editorial Guidelines
The rules are very simple. Postings to CQ-CONTEST at TGV.COM should be
non-commerical and related to radio contesting. Anything outside of those
boundries should not be seen here unless specifically approved by WN4KKN
(trey at cisco.com). If Trey thinks the update has merit, he will likely
approve it.
1.04) Appropriate topics for discussion
* Contest Announcements: Must be true contests, not "operating events"
or "special events".
* Contester's shack (inside) hardware/software: Must be relevant to
CONTESTING, not just a discussion of bells and whistles that have
little or no application to contesting.
* Contester's outside shack (antennas/towers/coax/relays): Again, must
be RELEVANT to contesting.
* Contester's strategy: Before, during, after. How you planned/executed
your activities.
* Contester's skill: What you do that makes you good (or bad).
* Contester's stories: Must be directly about contesting.
* Contest ethics
* Contest rules
* Contest operators: who was where, who is good, who is an SK, etc.
1.05) Inappropriate topics for discussion
CQ-Contest at TGV.COM is mailing list dedidcated to contesters talking about
contesting. Termendous lattitude is given to INTERESTING topics ranging far
afield, but there are some types of messages that are strictly
inappropriate. For instance:
* Meta-discussion about the CQ-Contest mailing list. These should be
conducted in private with WN4KKN (trey at cisco.com)
* The summary sheet from your latest contest effort. That should go to
3830 at contesting.com.
* What is the QSL route for xxx?
* What is the E-mail address for xxx?
* Is the xxx mailing list up/down?
* Is the xxx DXpedition on the air yet?
* Product annoucements.
* Solicitations for nominations for "Young Ham of the Year".
* Advertising (unless approved in advance by WN4KKN trey at cisco.com)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Subscribing and unsubscribing
2.01) General information about subscribing and unsubscribing
Subscription management is handled automatically by a program that answers
mail sent to CQ-Contest-REQUEST at TGV.COM. This address also answers
administrative requests, like stopping mail, or showing a list of
subscribers. Subject lines are ignored.
PLEASE do NOT send these requests to the list mailing address!
2.02) Subscribing to the list
To join the group, send a message to CQ-Contest-REQUEST at TGV.COM and write
the word SUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
2.03) Unsubscribing from the list
To leave the group, send a message to CQ-Contest-REQUEST at TGV.COM and write
the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
2.04) Getting the list in Digest form
Tack (je1cka at nal.go.jp) has graciously offered to redistribute CQ-Contest
messages in digest form. This means that all messages posted to CQ-Contest
on a given day will be bundled together and resent as a single message to
the subscribers of Tack's list. This is useful for people with Internet
providers that place a limit on the number of messages you can have in your
mailbox at once. This is the case for many of the JA subscribers.
To subscribe to JE1CKA's CQ-Contest-Digest list, send a message to
Contest-Request at DUMPTY.NAL.GO.JP that says:
SUBSCRIBE CQ-Contest-digest your_callsign
If you are subscribed to CQ-Contest, remember to send the a message to
CQ-Contest-REQUEST at TGV.COM that says:
SET NOMAIL
Since you will be getting the messages in digest form, you won't need to
get them directly from CQ-Contest at TGV.COM, but you will need to remain
subscribed if you still want to post messages.
2.05) Temporarily stopping and restarting mail
To stop mail (for example if you're going on vacation), send a message to
CQ-Contest-REQUEST at TGV.COM that says:
SET NOMAIL
To start mail again, send a message to CQ-Contest-REQUEST at TGV.COM that
says:
SET MAIL
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Operating Practices
Electronic mail is different from packet radio, in that many subscribers
receive their E-mail through commercial services such as CompuServe and
MCImail. In essence, many people are paying for each byte of every message
sent to CQ-Contest. In order to minimize spurious messages, please follow
the operating hints detailed below:
* Put your name, callsign and E-mail address on every message you send.
We don't all know everyone by just a callsign, nickname or Internet
address. Furthermore, not everyone's E-mail software lets you see all
the headers of the message, so it's sometimes difficult to reply to an
individual posting without knowing the sender's address.
* Use a subject line that indicates the true subject of your message.
* Wait a while before answering someone's question. Six other people
have probably answered it already. Most answers should go directly to
the person who posed the question, rather than to the list.
* Unlike PacketCluster, many people pay $$$ when they receive messages.
Some people pay per message, some per byte. Therefore, please take
this into consideration when writing a response. Would you pay $0.50
to read the message that you just wrote?
* Eschew flamage. If someone sends a flame to the list and you can't
bite your tongue, send your flaming reply directly back to the flaming
individual, not back to the list. No one wants to pay $1.00 to read
these messages (the original flame + your reply). Treat flamers the
way you would 2-meter repeater jammers - ignore them.
* Make sure there is something of value in each message you send to the
list. Avoid messages that are a complete reprint of someone else's
message, with nothing but "I agree" or "Me too" added to the bottom --
not much value there.
* Some people pay by the byte, so when following up to someone else's
message, be sure to include only the essential pieces or thread of the
note. Don't include those 20 extra header lines that your mail gateway
tacked onto the original message.
* If you are going to make a personal reply, make sure to remove
CQ-Contest from the header of your outgoing mail message. Otherwise,
everyone else on the list is going to see your personal message.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) Mailing List Archives
You can fetch messages from the CQ-Contest archive by sending a message to
FileServ at TGV.COM that says:
SENDME CQ-Contest-ARCHIVE.yyyy-mm
where yyyy-mm is the year and month of the archive desired. For additional
information, you can send a message to FileServ at TGV.COM that says HELP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) E-mail addresses of Contesters
5.01) General information about E-mail addresses
There are number of ways to find the E-mail address for a particular
contester. Please do NOT send a message to CQ-Contest that says "Does
anyone have the E-mail address for ______?"
5.02) WB5VZL List
George Fremin, WB5VZL (geoiii at bga.com), maintains a fairly current list of
contester E-mail addresses. Send him a note to him asking for his list. Or
you can find the list on the WWW at http://www.contesting.com/emails.html.
5.03) CQ-Contest REVIEW
You can get a list of CQ-Contest subscribers by sending a message to
CQ-Contest-REQUEST at TGV.COM that says REVIEW.
5.04) QRZ! Ham Radio CDROM
The QRZ! Callsign Database has the E-mail addresses for over 30,000 hams!
You can access it on the WWW at http://www.qrz.com.
5.05) World Wide Web Directory Services
There are several services on the WWW for looking up E-mail address for a
given name. Here are a few of them:
Bigfoot http://bigfoot.com/
Four11 http://www.Four11.com/
LookUP! http://www.lookup.com/
OKRA http://okra.ucr.edu/okra/
WhoWhere?http://www.whowhere.com/
Thanks to Steve Zettel KJ7CH for the information!
5.06) The old-fashioned way!
If you've exhausted every other resource, try calling the person you seek
on the telephone and asking for their E-mail address directly. Or send a
letter to their Callbook address (and include an SASE if you desire a quick
response).

Pick up a copy of the book The Internet Companion by Tracy LaQuey,

Subject: 24 hour contest clock
Message-ID: <19960927.071956.6423.0.WB4FLB at juno.com>
The quartz movement of my 24 hour contest clock died recently. I can't
find a replacement movement. I have found several but all are 12 hour
movements. Any one have any ideas where I can a replacement?? I needs
to be a mini quarts clock movement for a 24 hour clock, and I think I
need a short or medium shaft.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and 73 Gary, WB4FLB
