Yes, changing one's log after the fact to cover up a violation is scienter or guilty knowledge, meaning fraud. DQ is the only appropriate action. Lee, AA4GA On Sat, Dec 25, 2021, 1:11 PM W0MU Mike Fatchett wrote: > If you have violated the terms of your license that should be a DQ. > Changing

If you have violated the terms of your license that should be a DQ.  Changing the frequency makes it even worse as it was an attempt to cover up the action. If USA makes contacts out of band in CQ WW or ARRL DX what happens to them?  Are the QSO's simply removed and the op admonished for the

My 2 cents It makes sense to me to have the contest rules mirror the regulations regarding frequency allocations. No one is asking the contest sponsors to regulate anything. Enforcing a frequency rule in a contest is no different than enforcing any other contest rule. If the rules are

Very interesting and well done. Was it ever discovered what was actually causing the spurious signal? In other words, what did the station engineer do that caused the signal to disappear? Rudy is awesome too! On 10/17/2012 7:00 PM, Don Kirk wrote: Full and final details on the recent

I seem to remember that an AM BCB transmitter with a high efficiency modulator can produce this type of crud when it's not working properly. My money is on a BC station in the NYC/Phila area. 73, Roger On 10/3/2012 8:59 PM, ZR wrote: Has anyone listened down around 452 KHz for a sick sounding

The only thing that is useful at this point is: 1.) location of someone with a signal that does not change very much day or night 2.) direction with some absolute certainly within a reasonable range of headings. This would require a known good small loop or multiple direction antenna system
