There is a solution or fix to this situation, as an active M/S we practice the following, if the op violates the 10 minute rule by working any station, we "zero point" the QSO. The contact still remi

Gord - would it be possible to create a list of these solutions and post them on a web site as a reference for other contesters? Perhaps a short article for contesting.com? Syl Sylvan Katz - VE5ZX S
Good question, I would like to know that too. The revision history (http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo/updates.txt) mentions a request to support unclaimed QSOs but it looks like is not part of the cu
I believe that's my point about a possible "flaw" in the Cabrillo logging format. It's the logger checkers that determine valid QSOs, multipliers and QSO point assignment. The Cabrillo format log sub
??? My Cabrillo logs all have a line "CLAIMED-SCORE:" followed by a number. 73, Zack W9SZ _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://list
I'll say! When the log checkers determine my score, it is always lower for some strange reason ;-) 73, Blake N4GI _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@co
Gents, Is it really fair to allow the "unclaimed" QSOs in principle? An example: you and your competitor decided to jump and check another band. The band is dead but you found and worked eachother. A
Yea, but no way for you to mark which QSO is 0 point, not to be counted. Claimed score is for ??? If M/S goofs and makes illegal QSO because of the timing rule, they just take it out of the log and m
I guess I'm not equal to the conversation, Gord. What is the difference? You don't determine your score anyway, you only submit what you think it is. Your text above reads like you think a log checke
"Log checkers determining my score and not me - in my opinion is not the best. Having log checkers "judge" a claimed score - better or best. 73, Gord VE6SV" This concept leaves me scratching my head!
That is exactly what is being suggested, that a multi-single be able to make a QSO and not take point credit I don't think this is possible with any of the logging programs I've used NA CT N1MM to n
Unless you have recorded or witnesses absolute proof that you worked XX1XX how would anyone know that contacts were removed? I thought I worked FT5XO on 75M SSB but I was not in the log. Simultaneous
Another succinct testimony why "Life is too short for QRP!" :-) 73 de Bob - K0RC Message: 6 Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2006 09:46:51 -0400 From: k3bu@optonline.net Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] Cheating by M/S -
Gord, As are others on the list, I'm really at a loss for what it is you are trying to say here. If you were to determine score, you'd take what you think are valid QSO points, mult them by the multi
You can't. Cabrillo has the philosophy that only contest judges score logs, so there's no indication of how many points each contact is in the format. Bill Coleman, AA4LR, PP-ASEL Mail: aa4lr@arrl.ne
Yeah, but you don't have to compete with the big boys who are out for blood. Well, at least until Tree comes along and pulls another QRP SS on us... ;-) - Jack Brindle, W6FB -- -- ___________________
Just for the record I have to disagree with opinions like "Penalties for inaccuracy only punish the inaccurate, which is the way it should be" or "If you are not in the other guy´s log, then yo
How do you "Zero Point" a QSO in Cabrillo??? I hope the next rev of Cabrillo, rumored to be in the works, has a method of indicating zero pointers: maybe a "NOQSO" tag? 73 de Bob, K6XX There is a sol
