OH BOY! Another ARRL SWEEPSTAKES behind us and although the CW was a lot of fun.....
The SSB brings out the PHONE bandits from hell! OMG! You can hide behind a CW key...but put a microphone in some of these "pig farmer's" hands and Katie bar the door... JUST KILLS ME.
Word or two to the no less than 5 "hams" who were using a Precedence of "A" or "B" or "Q"...who kindly asked me to tell them if a "certain" multiplier was on...and if so...what freq were they on!!!
HELLO YOU MORONs!!!
That is considered ASSISTANCE and as such...would put you in the "U" PRECEDENCE category!
IF you could read the rules before you hit the MIC BUTTON..... you would probably see that rule 2.1.1. states very clearly......
General rule 2.1.1 Use of spotting assistance or nets (operating arrangements involving other individuals, DX-alerting nets, packet, Internet, etc) is not permitted.
In case that is not clear enough...read it again....INDIVIDUALs means HUMANS...So...to make it PERFECTLY CLEAR and thus black and white...YOU CAN NOT RECEIVE ASSISTANCE IN ANY WAY SHAPE MANNER OR FORM FROM ANYONE OR ANYTHING.....PERIOD!
If you want to ASK someone what frequency a MULT you need is on.....MEMO TO SELF....
MOVE to where you have internet connection of some sort and HOOK UP TO A TELNET or DX CLUSTER!.....I am sure your CONTEST SOFTWARE (if you use it) has the option to use it!!!!
TURN IT ON......watch the spots go by...find your mult.....work your mult...(BUT DON"T USE PLEASE COPY....waht ever you do)....and LOG it and move on to the next one you need!
OH yeah....change your exchange to "U"...which is what you HONESTLY were running in the first place!
BAA
