Age old question. ZF9CW was clearly sending 7 not 8 early in the contest. When I worked him on another band, he sent 8. So do you log 7 and make the point that's what he sent or do you log the correc
Pete. I had some significant problems with my YCCC box the first night of the contest. It would send with pauses and interruptions in the sending. I was thinking I would not even finish the contest.
The CQWW FAQ offers sensible advice and is clear on this point. *"*Log the zone based on their location.... No matter what someone sends you, it is your responsibility to convert it into the zone num
I have no idea which Zone contains ZF9, so I would log what was sent. Wouldnt everyone? (Even if we knew what he should have sent.) 73, de Hans, K0HB -- 73, de Hans, K0HB -- "Just a boy and his radio

Maybe put two QSOs in the log with the same time, one with him in zone 7 and one in zone 8? One of them should get dumped with no penalty, the other should count. 73 - Jim K8MR ______________________
This conflicts with the answer that I received: http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/CQ-Contest/2016-09/msg00223.html The "what to log" question comes up all of the time. Sending improper infor
Wouldnt everyone? (Even if we knew what he should have sent.) And I'll bet that log checking will figure out that he was sending two different zones at two different times. 73, Jim K9YC _____________
I don't write the CQWW rules, nor the FAQ. As an entrant, I do think it a good idea to be familiar with them. I don't know why CQWW should be reduced to merely a CW or phone "copying" contest. My com
Dave, that FAQ advice does not strike me as sensible, and is far from clear (in fact, it borders on self contradictory). First, I have only a sketchy notion of what zone contains which prefixes, so l
Oh, I see. So we need no longer bother logging what we are sent. Like the SS check and signal reports, it no longer matters, and we don't have to worry about whether or not we get it right. Just go w
Probably. I am not sure why all the issues with the FAQ. I think the log checking software will figure it out anyway. The robot rescores the logs anyway. Wouldnt everyone? (Even if we knew what he
A no-brainer. If he sends 7 and I log 8, then its a busted Q. 73, de HANS, K0HB Just a Boy and his Radio -- 73, de Hans, K0HB -- "Just a boy and his radio" ___________________________________________
And if his log says he sent an 8? So if I send zone 23people will get credit for zone 23? I don't think so. There is no need in WW to really copy a report. What the heck is eee or enn anyway what
Ok. So how do I handle this situation? Say I'm on DXpedtion and a DL sends me 599 100. There are lots of people that operate CQWW that aren't contesters that know what they are supposed to send. May
The problem I see in this case with "copying what is sent" is that your software will calculate your claimed score based on the zone claimed to be worked and will obviously be wrong if you log a zone
The good news, if you see it that way, is your claimed score is only relevant to you, and perhaps 3830, if you choose to post. (Id suggest, if youre in a hotly contested region, either dont post to 3
Yes, but if I'm not mistaken, submitted logs are recalculated by the sponsor (CQ WW committee in this case) anyway. So why worry about your logging software's scoring calculation? It's not the fina
There are some cases where they have to assume. I'm operating portable from California, away from my home zone. I make 10 contacts. I accidentally send 5 because my log software is still configured f
I was talking about how YOUR software scores your log for YOU prior to submission. 73, ron W3WN --Original Message-- From: Ria Jairam <rjairam@gmail.com> To: Ron Notarius W3WN <wn3vaw@verizon.net> Cc
Jeff, Do you really need to ask this question? If somebody sends you an exchange that doesnt make sense, ASK FOR A FILL. The logcheckers will probably check your log against what his log claims he se
