I wonder if someone who correctly copied J6DX's power could pass it on to me. What I heard was 5NNCC but don't know what the CC means. Not just my ears, another op in CA told me via email that's what
Jukka OH6LI, Sorry if my question offended you. I did not present as a means of cheating. With a VERY low score I am in no contention for any kind of reward. I entered mainly to increase my DX count
What you heard was "5NNNN" for 599 99. One guy sent sent "5nnnnn" for 599 99, another sent "5NN 73"--but who measures output power to that precision :-) George W1EBI --Original Message-- From: cq-con
Always, if a QSO is unsure, ask the guy on the to repeat the exchange. If still no QSO, then no QSO in the log. This is simple to me. Contest rules say when the contest ends .. it ended before this e
No offence taken but if this starts to get epidemic so everybody asks the contest exchanges outside the contest, that is not in our target setting for the hobby... The contests are ! 73, Jukka OH6LI

It is YOUR bust not their's. If you do not copy it correctly then it is on YOU not them. All they have to do is get your call and state right for it to count for them. Cut numbers are just soooo much
In retrospect, I was out of line with my reply to the original email. Yes, the contest was over but not the log deadline. I was guilty myself two years ago in asking a similar type of question and go
Alan, If you are not interested in competing for score, the cabrillo format will let you designate your "category:" as "checklog". I used my call from three different station locations this weekend
Jukka, OK, I guess I am not making myself clear. Maybe I didn't state the situation clearly in my first question. We are mixing apples and oranges here. I would like to present to you two different s
