We have all gotten a little spoiled on CW with the RBN, whose 170+ nodes spot everything. Just a reminder, then - Fort Meade has not yet released an SSB Skimmer, and until they do (write your Congre

What's the rule for spotting if you are Unassisted? Be careful about using the Automatically Spot New S&P QSOs feature. It's not unusual for me to make a mistake, mistype the call or just be deaf.
Good Question. I am always No-Assisted and this is why I never go to DXClusters, or never sent S&P spots... 73 DX . .. ... -- PY2NY / SP9NY / V26NY - Vitor Luis Aidar dos Santos http://military-jeep-
The CQWW rules allow for outbound spotting as an unassisted entry. However, my advice is that if you are unassisted to avoid any use of the cluster. Youre only inviting the possibility of unintended
No problem so long as you don't yourself use spots. 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the new Reverse Beacon Network web server at<http://beta.reversebeacon.net>. For spots, please use your favorite "retail" D
I don't understand, John. What are you worried about? 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the new Reverse Beacon Network web server at<http://beta.reversebeacon.net>. For spots, please use your favorite "retail
It's simple - "unassisted" ops risk being DQed for accidental or unintended cluster access/use. 73, Paul EI5DI 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the new Reverse Beacon Network web server at<http://beta.reverse
I'd expect nothing less from you, Paul, given your long opposition to all technological innovation - fact is, most cluster software has set/nodx or the equivalent, to make sure no spots come your way
Why would you be "better off" just "leaving the cluster disconnected altogether"? Seems to me that for the other 50,000 or so participants who aren't in it to win, spotting is a real benefit. After
Then, perhaps N4ZR will let us know the "real" reason for K1AR's warning about the consequences of unintended cluster access. With regard to technological innovation, I an opposed to "assisted" being
I'm a little perplexed myself, Paul. 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the new Reverse Beacon Network web server at<http://beta.reversebeacon.net>. For spots, please use your favorite "retail" DX cluster. With

Well, I'm opposed to anyone who gets spotted considering themselves to be Unassisted. Assistance works both ways. It generates a QSO for the P&C station and for the running station. This is why I
Automatic spotting by unassisted stations has been around for 30 years when CT implemented it. CT and almost all modern logging software does not allow unassisted users to see or use any cluster spot
How about that? This is a position universally despised in the contest community. Im not sure that universally means all, but I completely agree. I would like nothing better than to go back to the da
