20 hours of search and pouncing from the black hole. Bands were not
to bad, but 40 was a big nil. Did not even get the minimum of 3 zones
and two country multipliers, everyone was listening down.
See ya in CW SS from ND.

If N2ALE calls you enter N2ALE <space bar> and that puts the cursor
in the zone field. You can enter the zone in a fraction of a second.
Certainly by the time you say 'thanks' or your call. If N2ALE calls
and is Q5 and says zone 3, I believe him. I learned a few years ago,
while in the Carribean, that some ops will actually get upset if you
ask them if they are portable. "No I'm not portable, I have a 1 call
and live in Utah" said in that certain tone of voice.
CT woes: Finally got CT and my FT-1000 talking to each other. But
when I grab a spot then return to the run frequency the FT-1000 is in
'split' mode. I have to manually turn off the split. Then if I make
a spot CT adds on a QSX frequency which is the freq of the last grab.
Any 1000 users seen this, I'm still using version 8.28 I believe.
Also have some radio timeout problems when I'm transmitting. The shield
on the JCOM interface cable wasn't grounded. I grounded the shield
but still have the RF problem.

Anybody out there use CT and a Paragon? I'm trying to help a friend
get his Paragon hooked up. I seem to remember some advertisement or review
saying that the Ten-tec rigs emulate another major brand's RS-232 protocol.
Any help would be appreciated...

I knew my time would be limited, and my 10 and 15 meter
antennas are down, so my only goal this weekend
was some new band countries and a couple more of the
missing zones on 80 towards 5BWAZ.
Equipment: TS690s, SB220
Antennas: 402CD at 75 feet (non-rotatable! fixed SE
longpath), 3 element 20 meter yagi at 85 ft,
1/4 wave sloper on 80m to SE
Band: Q's/Zones/Countries
80: 39/11/29
40: 43/18/39
20: 130/24/61
15: 12/7/11 (used 40m yagi for these q's)
10: 3/2/3 (used 80m sloper for these q's)
total pts: 113k
I did work ZB2 and zone 2 on 80 for new ones, but the
biggest surprise was catching S21ZW on 40m long
path Sunday morning. He was in the mud and barely
copiable at sunrise, but about 10 minutes after sunrise
he peaked at 5x5 and I got into his log. Two minutes later
he was in the crud again. I also heard HS0AC for
20 minutes on 40 meter long path Saturday morning, but
I couldn't get him to "listen up." I listened both mornings
for VS6WO on 40, but just heard them briefly as they
were calling a ZL2...I never heard them calling CQ.
The few hours I put in were a total blast, and the S21
on 40 made the whole weekend.

10 meters was amazing for this point in the sunspot cycle. We made 104 QSOs
in 99 countries the first day, but between 1300 and 1500Z on Sunday I
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!

Comments:
I had fun, but it sure is frustrating to call & call Europeans and South
Americans that can't hear you because of QRM and my "pop-gun" signal. I
was surprised by 10, I didn't expect anything. Boy, is 20M tough with low
power and a vertical. In fact, it is murder (like with a dull, rusty axe).
Biggest thrill was working Iceland and Pictarin Island on the first call
on 15M.
My XYL and I are planning a vacation to The Caribbean for sometime next
fall. I've been pumping her with the idea of going 1.5 to 2 weeks before
CQ WW next year. She can leave a day or so before the contest, and I can
stay and operate from a location where people actually line-up to work me.
Sounds like the ultimate topping to a great vacation. We shall see.
For W's & VE's, see you this weekend in SS CW. 73,
Jim Stevens, KI4HN

Most of the antennas were ready by 15 minutes AFTER the contest started!!
Homebrew bandpass filters between each xcvr and linear made a critical
difference!! Plan to build two sets to simplify the bandchange exercise.
