Question about portable operation and No Star award... W4YDY 03/02/10
Know who you are working.... AA8R 03/03/10
Looks like rules need to be clarified.....more W4YDY 03/03/10
Rules are clear - it is the OPERATOR who has to have "no stars" KE3VV 03/03/10
Should have made it mobiles only! WV2B 03/03/10
In addition to knowing the "Portable" status .............. WØGXQ 03/02/10
Plot thickens KN4Y 03/02/10
WRONG - if the OPERATOR has a star, you can't count it as a "no star" contact KE3VV 03/03/10
Would Field Day stations set up for the weekend be a No Star or is it determined on who is operating at the time? W4YDY 03/02/10
No Star K8QWY 03/02/10
No Star K8QWY 03/02/10
The rule says "operator" so you can't count a field day station unless you know the operator has no star KE3VV 03/02/10
How are you going to know "who" is running the radio on the other end...!! AE3Z 03/05/10
I can just see me sitting here breaking a guys run... AE3Z 03/05/10
You don't know who is operating and that's the point... KE3VV 03/06/10
More on the station W4YDY 03/02/10
Award Rules on page 12...Portable Operation AA8R 03/02/10
In addition, your basement is just another part of your location... same address (location) different room KE3VV 03/02/10
I thought, when we voted on this award... AE3Z 03/02/10
Don, you voted to take out the Club call restriction from the requirements.. AA8R 03/03/10
Nope - just mobiles and portables... at least that is what I voted on at the Board meeting KE3VV 03/02/10
The rules state mobiles and portables ONLY WV2B 03/02/10
I agree. WV2B 03/02/10
If the operator has no star and is using a temporary station at a temporary location.... KE3VV 03/04/10
Camping/Summer home WØMU 03/06/10
Sure... why not? Anyway... KE3VV 03/06/10
