[CQ-Contest] Check in SS

[Ev Tupis]

Tom,
This is a great opportunity to consider creating a blog on the ARRL web site and begin to document this sort of thing for all eyes to see.  Unless Hans had copied the note to the list, we wouldn't have the benefit of the interpretation.  Of course, only 1200 people on the list now have this knowlege...and of course, the most cynical among us may think that Hans made it up and ascribed it to you. :)

Regards,
Ev, W2EV

Rather than wonder about it, I asked "the Desk".  Nobody checks with FCC and you won't be DQ'd for the wrong check in SS.

Next subject?

Hi Hans,
Many amateurs like to let others know when they were first licensed. The exchange during the SS gives them an opportunity to do so. There are, however, many folks out there that don't remember what that date was or choose not to divulge it for personal reasons. That's OK. For log checking purposes it is important to use the same check number during the entire contest.

Subject: "Check" in SS?

Does anybody at the contest desk really give a rip what "check" I send in SS, so long as I use the same one all weekend long?
