In case you didn't read my post on 3830scores.com (and why would you?)... I did Saturday night and a bit of Sunday morning at W3LPL. When I got home Sunday I did one "fresh meat" run on each band, 10
Art et al: I had the same experience during the peaks of the high band openings to EU on both days. Nothing serves as a rate-killer like a bunch of stations all calling on the same frequency over and
Sending partial calls is frowned upon by the DX Code of conduct: 6. I will always send my full call sign. I have heard that many stations, especially big guns and especially DX, will not respond to
I would rank most of us below the Japanese when it comes to average operating etiquette, but it's worth remembering that particularly on the high bands callers often can't hear each other, and the "1
Sorry, Pete, but that's not a valid excuse. I've told this one before, but it's worth repeating for a laugh: Speaking of DXing and callsigns, one time, there was a big pile up on some DX station in w
You misunderstood the post. He is running and can only get part of the call due to QRM. It is quite acceptable to send a partial call and only those with that partial call should respond. Unfortunate
Pete: Im not really seeing how the stations in EU not hearing each other has anything to do with the problem. Heres a typical exchange: I call cq. A pile of 8 stations responds. I copy DL5 and put it
I noticed the same thing, and it wasn't just the big multi-ops. Often all about the same strength on exactly the same frequency. Alas, it seems to be SOP in some parts of the world. 73, Scott K9MA I
We're Contesters, not DXers. That's why we have no problems coming back to calls like "AR", "GD" or "SS"... BTW, is there anything in that code about blindly clicking on DX spots? Thanks. 73, Yuri VE
Many times this is caused by RBN/Cluster spots. This has been going on for a very long time. Those in the know, know to send up or down just a bit and get worked. It seems that radios are getting
We all have to remind ourselves these are GREAT problems to have ! The opposite is having nobody respond to our CQ's because of poor prop.<<<(turn on the time machine and go forward 7 years and then

Yeah, I have to say, DX Codes work great in DX pileups. They're kind of different than contests. 73 Rich NN3W _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contes

Narrow up your filter and use the RIT. It does work. Or hit Morse Runner for some more practice. 73 Rich NN3W _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contes
I don't think Art needs more practice! 73, Scott K9MA -- Scott K9MA k9ma@sdellington.us _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.
I believe DX Code # 3. (I will not trust the DX cluster and will be sure of the DX station's call sign before calling) addresses blind clicking. Of course not everyone waits for an ID or maybe they c
John, In the recent ARRL DX CW I ID'd after each time. Especially when I have long string of dupes. Or whenever someone sends "?". Even sent {HISCALL} de {MYCALL} while replying. Doesn't help those w
<<<I don't think Art needs more practice!>>> everybody need more practice ! Why do you think that guys like Dan, N6MJ, and others are still doing hard practice sessions with Morse runner ?... 73, Dim
On many occasions during ARRLDXCW I was using my FT1000MP with a PAIR of 250khz filters and then adding the Notch filter (manually tuning back and forth), IPO and shift/width (manually tuning back an

My two cents While in s&p mode, generally if the DX does not give their callsign in two exchanges while Im copying, I move on my score be damned! Steve NN2NN Sent from my iPhone _____________________
