Hi Tonno, Well there is one real problem by not repeating the entire call. You may be coming back to K1IK instead of N1IK. With your partial report no one knows for sure whom you have logged. You may
This is not a legitimate QSO. My opinion is that you have to say N1IK's call sign at least once, but his call can be said in more than one part. I somehow even remember that CQ Contest Committee (or

Tonno, I disagree. In your example below YOU may know you have A call correctly, but all I know is that you've got IK. There are a large number of valid US and VE prefixes that you could have heard i
Let's take this scenerio a half-step farther.... TEST ES5TV NN2I1CIK (2 stations, very similar calls answer) IK 5NN A5 N1IKN2IC5NN5NN45 (2 stations, N2IC and N1IK respond, both give exchanges) TU You
Indeed, I agree 100%. Without this confirmation both parties are not sure whether the QSO was legit. For example, how does N1IK know you got his call correct? He could well call you again later (thus
I've never understood this issue! In today's day and age of contesting, rate is king but accuracy is key. You cannot be forgiven for such errors. The "oh" and "zero" keys are totally separate locatio
On the other hand in marginal conditions when DX station got your call sign correct first time do not keep repeating your call again when giving the exchange. That may make the DX station think he go
Steve: Repeating a call back, to me is key to knowing the exchange was successful. Numerous times, on ssb, I call a "high-rate" station, we go back and forth a few times, and each time he gets my cal
Wrong. This practice, while seemingly streamlining everything, can backfire and cause more requests for repeats. Send the whole call every time so the other guy knows you got the whole call. Bob Nau
See, this is the dilemna with docking a station when the other guy busts his info. N4-oh-KX works W9WI; W9WI's log says N4-zero-KX. So is it fair to dock Mark 2 points if he didn't insist on hearing

In neither of your two examples will the other station lose points for your errors. Any kind of single-character-mistake in callsigns will still mtach as a QSO, and it is only the station that logged
And if he busts it, don't send the exchange, just send your call again. Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contes
nice to have some clear views on this thing. Maybe Timo is right and this QSO is not legitimate though I don't see why Run station should give full call of the other station and S&P station does not
I think you took my response too literally. (understandable, I wrote it a bit too literally<grin>) In general, should an operator *ever* be dinged for errors the *other guy* makes in copying his exch

Hello everyone, I am very curious how final results in CQ WW SSB were calculated. Jim CN2R and Al D4B showed incredible results. My congratulations for both of them! But what I see from results CN2R

Nodir, This *may* have to do with penalties and whether the penalties are shown deducted from the published total. For example, I work 1000 QSOs and 100 multiplers, and have ten bad QSOs which cause
