Il CQWW CW è alle porte e questa mattina è arrivato sul CQ Reflector un comunicato di Bob Cox K3EST sulle nuove categorie Assisted e sulla parte Skimmer. Quest'ultima mi pare interessante e la riporto integralmente.
*Technology is advancing very rapidly. The CQ WW Contest Committee wants to make it clear about the use of Skimmer technology. *
*A.** * Skimmer and skimmer-like technology is permitted for all Multi-Operator classes as well as for all the Single Operator-*Assisted categories. *The use of a personal skimmer located *within the distance rule limitations* of your QTH (500m rule) is OK.
*B. *The use of a remote, personal skimmer is *NOT *allowed. This is the same as a using a remote receiver, which is not allowed for any
category. *Remote receivers (including Internet-based SDRs,) which are **outside the 500m station circle*, *are not permitted* *(strictly forbidden) for any category.
***
*C. *Remote skimmers (beyond the 500m station circle) are *not permitted for any category,* except for the *Reverse Beacon Network (RBN).* *Utilization of the RBN is permitted for all Multi-Operator classes as well as for the Single Operator-Assisted categories ONLY.* If you are a single op entry and access the Reverse Beacon Network, *you MUST submit your log as ASSISTED.***
In pratica, come spiegato nei punti B e C non si possono usare in nessun caso skmmmer remoti (fuori dalla proprietà o comunque oltre al solito diametro di 500m), nè personali nè di altri, in quanto equiparati a ricevitori remoti, ad eccezione del RBN (Reverse Beacon Network) per il quale è consentito l'uso. Per chi non lo sapesse il RBN è un insieme di Skimmer in giro per il mondo che sono tutti convogliati in un unico nodo accedibile via web (http://www.reversebeacon.net/) o telnet (telnet.reversebeacon.net:7000).
