Hello to all....Saying that I want to call CQ on the Internet and then
stand by for calls on the radio is a TOTAL MISREPRESENTATION of the
concept.....and of course George-K5TR knows that. He has raked me over
the coals(twice) because my English was not precise enough. His
English, in this case, is not only not precise, it is a complete
fabrication....
I call CQ on the radio, just as we all do. But I want to be able to
post on the Internet where I am calling CQ, so that others might find
me. I will point out again, that an Announcement does not MAKE an
contact. You have to actually do that yourself.....with your own radio.
George complimented me and my station, so I will return the favor. In
the June 2010 contest, I thought that I had made the highest number of
6M contacts ever made in an ARRL contest at 1836. Later I found that
George had made 1856 QSOs on 6M....this while working stuff on other
bands too!! I was totally bummed out about losing the QSO record, but
it just proves what a great operator he is.

In this last contest K5QE using some tropo and EME and MS and his
great station was able to work 90 grids on 2 meters. That is
fantastic. Well done.
The one rule change that K5QE would like to make as I understand it is
that he would like to be able to call CQ on the Internet and take
answers on the radio. It seems like calling CQ on the radio should be
enough. Yes, I have no doubt that you can make more contacts if you
call CQ on the Internet and also look for others calling CQ on the
Internet.
