Hi All I never tried this but in a contest class of single op with no assistance would this be against the rules to use. Reverse beacon network showing only which skimmers can copy ONLY my own call ?
Yes. This would clearly be assistance to you. If it wasn't, why would you think to do it? Don't do it. W5OV _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesti
