Just to finish this thread and make some clarification. K3KU probably talked about Stephane VE2SG, who usually lives in Quebec city (Zone 2), but arrived to Sept-Iles (Zone 2) just for the Contest. A
Of course they are not valid. The letters of the suffixes are just close to each other on the keyboard under the left hand. :-)) Who is doing this? Well, take a look at Internet service provider and
I don't like Dx Cluster, but the reality is - like it or not - almost everyone is using it nowadays, one way or another. I mean 99.9 % of the HAM stations have the capability of using Dx Cluster toda
Interesting, same subject is being debated in the Russian speaking [WW-Contest] reflector now. And few people came up with very interesting observations. For instance, RU6LA and UX1UA fairly pointed
LY3BA:"As I can see you and some others mixing up two very different things. For me is absolutelly clear - ASSISTED means that you are not SINGLE OPERATOR ("just a boy and his radios"., as K0HB said)
Disclaimer: I never suggested to use DX cluster and claim unassisted. I never said that what Gedas LY3BA did (with his analysis) is wrong. I was just trying to summarize the opinions from the[WW-Cont
Paul, I need to admire your ... persistency. Let's try another reality check here - SINGLE OPERATOR. What does it mean? OPERATOR - a person who OPERATES the station. SINGLE OPERATOR - means that SING
Another approach to "Assisted" vs. "Multi Op." argument. You are Single Op Assisted, using spots from Dx Cluster. All of a sudden you need to go to bathroom (washroom). Who is going to replace you an

Well, trust me - whatever exchange is being established - at the end of the day it would not make any difference. Same top guys would copy your - serial number; - real RST sent; - zone; - country; -
Usually, when I operate from a DX location (~4500...6000 Q's in one weekend) I end up with about 150...250 dupes. Imagine, it's like 2 (or even more!) HOURS you are operating for nothing! It's just w
Actually, that's one of the reasons why I did not go anywhere for the ARRL DX this year. I got my LCR for last year's ARRL DX CW (I operated as PZ5TT) few months ago and I was shocked. A lot of legit
That's the way ARRL handles it (and I like it). If you won 2 trophies - you should get 2 trophies. 73 Yuri _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesti
