Comments: Define confusion : (a) Hearing N6TV N6TR and N6TW all calling
CQ NA within 2 kcs on 10 M !
(b) Having KE0A and K1EA call you at the
same time !
Qrt at 10:30 local time and never did get back to the contest. It didn't
help that 7 week old harmonic became attached to left shoulder after
11:00 pm feeding. And I used to laugh at all those guys who said FAMILY
interrupted their contest life. :-). Ain't it the truth.
CU in NA QSO SSB.
PS. Had serious thoughts of using the name Buttafuocco in this weekend's
NAQSO SSB but I think I'LL "shorten" it to Bobitt. Is that QRPp ? Ouch.

For the past 2+ years I have been plagued with a computer-type
noise on 160 that I have not been able to locate the source of. The
noise is about 1 KHz wide and occurs every 7.5 KHz up and down the
band. While the noise is there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it does
change frequency (remains on 7.5 KHz centers) and strength. The noise
is not immediate to my house as I can only hear it on my beverage but
it is strong enough to cover up any DX that weaker than it. It's
strength varies from S5 to S8. I can hear it on the 160 dipole but
it's usually weaker than the normal band noise and is not a problem
there.
I've tried several times to find the source of the noise but
have had no luck. Based on information from a couple of guys on the
cluster, it's probably someone with a bad touch-on/touch-off lamp.
Anyhow, I'd like to give one of these new Digital Signal Processors a
try to see if I can process it away. Has anyone had positive (or
negative) experience with any of the currently available DSPs in
eliminating computer or computer-like noise. I don't mind spending
the money to get rid of this junk, but I don't want to waste it on
something that won't work.
Thanks in advance for your time and inputs.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The ARRL Contest Advisory Committee (CAC) is studying the scoring for
rovers in VHF contests. In particular they are looking at the impact
of rover scoring on club competition in the January VHF Sweepstakes.
The committee invites input on the following proposal:
"Rovers are not eligible for Club Aggregate Competition. Rovers may not
engage in the practice of 'Grid Circling', which is defined as the
premeditated (not coincidental) act of two or more Rover stations roving
to the same locations at the same times and working each other, regardless
of whether or not they work anyone else. This specifically includes family
members traveling in the same or different vehicles."
The following may also me included in the proposal:
"Rovers who are suspected of `Grid Circling' will be given a chance to
demonstrate they were not before their logs are disqualified."
Comments may be sent to: ARRL - CAC, 225 Main Street, Newington, CT 06111.
Email comments may be directed to Internet Address: cac@arrl.org

Subject: Don't download CT 8.51!
Message-ID: <9401131629.AA29999@us1rmc.bb.dec.com>
It showed up on the CT BBS within the last couple of days, but it has a
major bug in that it doesn't write the .BIN file correctly and you can't
read the log back in.
DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION!
Ken has promised to fix this and put 8.52 up on the BBS today.
As far as I remember, the fixes that went into 8.51 are:
- CT scores /MM QSOs based on continent derived from CQ Zone
- In VHF contests, you can now have 3 modes - CW, SSB and FM
