Never knew this Chat service existed. I created an account and in under 5 minutes logged on. Used the "Chat Review" option from the menu and all is revealed. So that's how SOME of the Big Kids play t
Clearly, at some point in the path is a non-Amateur means of communication being used for the solicitation of QSOs. So that's grounds for a DQ right there. And if CQ doesn't specify non-Amateur like
I'm not being critical of you Steve because arranging QSO's is outside the rules, but once something like that is posted it is a matter of a few mouse clicks to see the entire conversation including
If you look at the rules for the CQWW 160M Contest, there is nothing in the rules about self-spotting, etc. This might be an oversight. Actually, the only thing that remotely addresses this action is
A slight modification to what I said earlier: If the fellow is in any way competitive with anybody, then a DQ is in order. Doesn't need to be considered a violation of self-spotting rules for that to
"Self-spotting, etc" are considered to be un-sportsmanlike conduct. As such, they are prohibited under the "Disqualification" paragraph in the rules for CQWW 160M. 73, Paul EI5DI ____________________

I would suggest contest sponsors check this chat against submitted logs. There are some other calls that were active in the contest. ES9C, UR4LRG , RL3FT for RL3A to name just a few. If their contest

WOW I guess my first question is where does this end? Do we start monitoring 2 meters, or telephone conversations, or even email/regular mail. Anyone who is shocked by N2IC's posting is still living
W8JI: I'm not sure that is a good way to get a multiplier or QSO. I've been operating CQ WW 160m CW since 1972 when YU got permission. Located in downtown S5 capital Ljubljana with HV transformer sta
Actually I think it points out that there is no way to stop this. People can watch spots anonymously any time they want. It points out that there are plenty of people out there the will bend/break an
i get several (less than 10) requests like "hope to work you in the contest", or "will be looking for you" when i do a dxpidition like the CQWW160, but with no way of me knowing either my transmit fr
Thank you Igor for bringing this up. I was not aware of that as I was not present at my station most of the contest. I got the printout of the chat from the weekend now and it appears that one of the
