In Praise of Contesting
wrote in message ups.com... wrote: This weekend is the ARRL November Sweepstakes (SS) on CW. I plan to be on the air, making as many points as possible. SS is perhaps my favorite contest, because it requires a real exchange (4 pieces of info besides the callsign, and the signal report is not part of the exchange.) RS(T) is a standard "piece" of info. A QSO would not be complete without it, IN MY OPINION. If there are any ARRL card checkers out there, is a card without a signal report valid? Just check the ARRL website. All that is required are the band, mode, call signs and date. No RST is required. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
