[CQ-Contest] QSL ethics

[Trent and Lorraine Sampson]

Hi Team,

In VK the format is that the person sits the examinations and is given a certificate as to qualifications. So I have an Amateur Operator Certificate of Proficiency. When I have obtained this certificate I then apply to have a station licensed to a "location". From this point the Callsign VK4TI is allocated. The same occurs for broadcasting stations. Previously they needed a Broadcast Operators Certificate of Proficiency standard technician on staff to operate the licence of the FM or AM Station.

This is why from my perspective I have no grief with the remote station discussion previously on this list. 

Regards

Trent

Bill,

I agree as well.

In 2001, Rick Lindquist, [ N1RL  :o) ] operated from my station in Yukon. 
He took all of Canada in the CW Sweepstakes, which is no small thing.

It was his expertise that won the plaque which he sent to me, as the owner of the station, stating that the award belonged with the station.  I value Rick's knowledge in these things, but something inside me said that he deserved the plaque, because, as much as I love CW, I was and am still unable to approach the rates which he can produce in a CW contest.

Some feel that the signature at the end of our emails which include our callsigns is a statement that we are our callsigns, but I feel that there are unspoken but implied words of association.

73,

J., [chief operator of ] VY1JA
