This is done automatically in LOTW. A busted call won't show up as a QSL in either station's LOTW file. Therefore, no need to reject it. 73, Jim N6VH snip.............. snip.............. ___________

Jamie, If you worked 8P1A in CQWW CW, it was probably 8P5A instead, and therefore a busted call. 8P5A was in the CW test, 8P1A was in the SSB test. 8P5A submitted a log for CW, 8P1A submitted one for
The distance from San Diego to Seattle is about 1000 miles. Both are in zone 3. Central Texas (Zone 4) is about the same distance. Using your suggestion, I would get zero points for the Seattle QSO,

If you consider a code reader to be assistance, why not a memory keyer or computer generated cw? For that matter, computer logging. All of those give the operator as much assistance as a code reader.
Maybe it's time to give points for same-country contacts in CQWW CW & SSB, so we don't have to make zero-point contacts just to get mults. In the WPX RTTY contest, over 60 percent of my QSO's were wi

Joe, For stateside QSL's, LOTW is the way to go. It's much cheaper and easier than sending direct. Even if the bureau were opened to stateside QSL's (which it probably won't), LOTW would still be the

Joe, It has been that way for many years. One reason for doing it that way is so other stations will know what country you are in without having to hear the rest of your call. If I'm operating from H
Yuri, The original meaning of DX was distance. If I work Tijuana, Mexico, which is 20 miles away, I get 2 points. But if I work you, at 2400 miles away, I get 0 points. 73, Jim N6VH -Regards Yuri N2T

The ARRL HF contests have a power level of 150 watts or less for the HF contests, and have for many years. This seems like a good balance between 100 and 200 watts. 73, Jim N6VH On 10/10/2016 8:20 AM
I agree. I don't post my scores, because they are so low nobody would be interested. :-) 73, Jim N6VH Posting claimed scores is more of a courtesy to the community and is not required. By not posting
