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?

Recently the NAQP CW single operator spotting rule exception was updated and later changed back to the original. The original version was "Technological methods of copying the information in the contest exchange are permitted as long as they are entirely contained within the station." The updated version was "Technological methods of copying information in the contest exchange (e.g. CW Skimmer, code readers, etc.) are permitted as long as all components are entirely contained within the station." Which version do you prefer?

Copy CW
No Technological ANYTHING..;....learn the code or go back to CB! If we have to compete against machines what's the point.......why not just automate your station and watch TV during the contest and let the automation operate the contest.
Listen, write or type it down!

Ditto again. If you can't copy it in your head, try another mode.

No artificial, technological or extraterrestrial methods should be allowed period. If you can't copy CW, go work SSB.
Nuts.
