Contesting Online Survey

Survey Question Current Survey Question

Do you plan to enter the CQ WW DX Contest?

Recent Surveys

Recently the RDXC committee reclassified P3F to high power from low power without publicly providing strong evidence that any infraction had occurred. They concluded was that the contestant was running HP on 80/40m but not full-time, just 10 minutes here and there without any convincing evidence. It appears they used the RBN as their source of information. Should the RXDC contest have to publicly provide convincing evidence before reclassifying a station from LP to HP?

Randy, K5ZD, wrote a sidebar titled " Convergence and Change" in the 2015 CQWW CW printed results in CQ magazine. He wrote that the "convergence of personal computers, Internet access, DX clusters, and CW Skimmer have changed the nature of CW contesting". He goes to say that it is "more difficult to police the line between the single operator working alone and those who are using the assistance of DX spotting." In light of this convergence and change is it time to recombine SO and SOA into a single category?

Survey Comments
N1MM vs Writelog
Still prefer Writelog, especially for RTTY and VHF contests. RTTYrite is a very good program, not as fussy as MMTTY. N1MM has too many macros built-in, and uses up too much real estate on the screen. Initially switched to N1MM to assist in SO2R operation, but switched back to Writelog. The info window and variable-size bandmap on N1MM do not add to the utility of the program in my opinion, and tend to slow me down rather than speed me up. The QSO/hr graph on Writelog is indispensable for rapid use and strategy change during the contest. The databases (contest specific) can be very easily built up and changed on Writelog, not as easily on N1MM.

TR-Log
I've tried others, but for CW I feel there is no equal to TR-Log. TR4W isnt far off, but I havent mastered the corrections of the call while at contest speed. I do like the windows applications.

I use N3FJP software where possible and N1MM otherwise.

Limited Space
There are a limited number of items that can be listed for choices due to the simplistic nature of the survey on this web site. There will always be a few good loggers left off the list. Maybe some day they will make it so the list can be longer.

n1mm over ct
Never thought I would see the day when CT garnered only 4%.
