381. Re: [CQ-Contest] How many hours do SOAB entrants actually operate? (score: 1)
Author: Jimk8mr@aol.com

I don't think there would be many. Most of the 24 hour people are people like me who have a 24 hour station - good enough to have fun in the good hours, and to work the easy multipliers on the low ba

I doubt that this past weekend was a significant measure of the effects of reduced operating time. WPX can be interesting because you can work guys in the USA for points; there are fewer multi-multis

I just realized I missed one of my favorite contests, the Poisson d'Avril. What happened? Was it not held this year because of triskaidekaphobia associated with the year 2013? Did North Korean hacker

A county map is a very handy operating aid when participating in a state QSO Party. I have found very good ones to be available at the U.S. Census Bureau web site, http://www.census.gov/geo/www/maps/

The WPX contest is an odd creature. It originally was indeed a DX contest, in which prefixes gave an interesting twist by providing a couple dozen multipliers from very active countries like the USA

1. There is certainly a lot of inequity in the current 1-2-3 point, continent based scoring system. 2. Integer QSO point values made sense in the days of paper logs. Today there is no reason to requi

I was not at the contest forum, but several observations: 1.? The issue was addressed in the recent CQWW survey. Might the change indicate that most people thought a 3 qso penalty was excessive? 2.?

It could be reasonably argued that the competition is about what you do on the air, and the log is simply the record of what you did on the air. Is the correction issue any different for multiop stat

No tinkering with a 1-2-3 point system will yield a fair result for all, whether for zone 14 vs 33, 8 vs 9, or east Asia/Oceania vs the rest of the world. There is no reason in the 21st century to us
