I have to concur with the observation made by Gary, KH6GMP:
In listening to some of the real fast-rate stations (obviously using
CT), they dont question it and it sure didnt look as if they slowed
eoungh to make the correction. Do most stations just leave what CT
puts in automatically? What would be the proper way, just accept it
and put what they give or question them as to where they actually are,
or just leave what CT installs???????
as a transplant "little pistol" I would suggest stressing (in my case),
N2ALE PORTABLE-SIX PORTABLE-SIX 5903 5903 QSL? as the excahnge to avoid
loosing them. It worked for me most of the time. The real problem is
that the "big guns" are quite quick to swing the beam to the zone implied
by CT if you aren't quick enough to stop them. I lost my QSO with LU4FM
because I wasn't fast enough.
For myself, the real questions are related to upping the score. Can one
really score some points on 160 with only 100 watts? I notice that Gary
was only able to pick up multipliers. No one could get my prefix, so 160
was a total bust for me. And, can one work 40 meters WITHOUT operating
SPLIT frequencies? But I still had a lot of fun without those bands,

Well, our club didn't get enough for a full blown Multi-Single so
we decided to do single bands. Here's my score (I'll get the others
later)....

See you in SS and CQWW CW

10 meters was amazing for this time in the sunspot cycle. We made 104 QSOs
in 99 countries the first day, but between 1300 and 1500Z on Sunday we
worked 402 stations! We did *not* work KL7 or JA on 10, but did work out
into the Pacific (though we somehow missed VK!).
We missed 5BDXCC by a measly 6 countries on 75 meters. Also missed Zone 23
on 20 meters (where were all the JTs that usually answer your CQs?).
Matt has been at his current QTH for less than 2 years - the stacks and
delta loop were put up over the summer on a 160' tower.
Hope everyone worked something new and had a good time. We certainly did!

Subject: Looking for CTY file bugs
Message-ID: <9311011822.AA11837@us1rmc.bb.dec.com>
Were there any bugs with the CTY files for CT that people used this weekend?
The only one I noticed was that the VY9 and CY9 stations kept coming up as
needed multipliers because CT thought they were in Zone 1. VY9QR was in
Saskatchewan (Zone 4), don't remember where CH9DH or K1JB/CH9 said they
were.
Please send me your reports.
Thanks - Jim AD1C
