I use a TS870 and on cw I recieve on Lower side most of the time. Many,
Many stations call on the low side ?? as much as 2 khz low, and this is not
just in contest?? On SSB they seem to do the same when I'm on USB. I think
that it is because most tune from the bottom up and when they have good copy
they stop before getting on the TX freq? I find that I set RIT down about
300 hz and have much better tone for my old ears. On SSB there is no cure.
Many do call off freq but most of the time there is no need to retune to
copy them.

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0207312239270.26598-100000@fresno.akorn.net>
Recent communications with other W4 team organizers indicate that more
than SIXTY (yes 60) W4 stations will take part in Saturday's NAQP and be
part of a team effort.
The Florida Contest Group has approximately 20 entrants including (to my
suprise) Dan "I hate NAQP" Street, K1TO.
Last word I had from TCG was that they had at least two teams.
K4FXN tells me that the Kentucky group is trying to organize two teams as
well.
We've managed to organize nearly 30 from the SECC, PVRC, and others. We
will be known as the Southern States Sprint Coalition (hoping to to inject
the expectation that this is just a warm-up for the real contest in early
September).
Condolence letters can be addressed to Paul, K9PG, and paul@k9pg.com for
our showing up those W9s with regards to participation. This tradition
will be extended through early September.

Worse than it being a non-priority, one could easily
imagine a regime that actively discourages long
distance (HF) communications. Also, some government
types in some places require some sort of "small"
payment (bribe) in order to get them to do their jobs
in individual cases. This is considered normal in
those places and astonishing to the rest of us.
I wonder if some "payola" would grease the wheels?

Speculation about ulterior motives and/or corruption on the part of foreign
licensing authorities does nothing to encourage a tidal wave of new
hams. A lot of quiet progress has been made in recent years in a number of
countries that formerly looked askance at ham radio. Let's let this thread

Hi, Dan.
Here's my message for posting to the CQ contest reflector.
Thanks much for taking the trouble to do this.
I'll keep you informed on what I find out.
Best 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ: Big Rapids, MI
"I am a blind ham, and my call is KB8TYJ. I probably could best be
described as a casual contester, but am now interested enough in contesting
to start pursuing available user-friendly contest logging software for the

Are there any contest logging programs that have been successfully used by
blind hams with the JAWS for Windows screen reading software? I currently
use JAWS 3.7 with windows 98 Second edition. I am not a computer wizzard,
but if someone can send me a demo of some software to try, with some
easy-to-follow
installation and configuration instructions, I'd be willing to give it a

Any help would be most appreciated. Please direct any responses to my

Subject: [CQ-Contest] New DTA databases, your help needed
Message-ID: <3D49DB3C.572A0547@buckeye-express.com>
Hello
Last year K8CC and I (K9TM) took over the generation of the callsign
databases used by most of the popular contest logging packages (you may
know the file as master.dta or the feature as super-check partial). Due
to transition items, translation problems on my end, the databases
barely made it out in time for CQ WW last year. However, all reports
have been favorable on the accuracy of the database. This year I have
all the tools ready and can turn the crank pretty quickly.
The goal this year is to get them out by Oct 1. The major factor this
year is in receiving logs as I have already created the tools.
Regardless of deadlines, we need your help. All you have to do is get
together your logs and send them to us (see info at the bottom of this
note for details). Since people interested in the databases are using a
computer and since most of you submit your logs in cabrillo format
anyway... we are only accepting cabrillo logs. (In the past the tools to
generate the databases were based on CT BIN files and as a result, input
was by CT BIN files. Last year I created new tools to work from
cabrillo files.)
The more logs we get, the more calls we can extract and the better the
final result. So all you Multi-Multi's out there (we know you use
super-check partial :-) ) and anyone who wants to help (especially those
who use the database) please submit your logs.
We promise that your log(s) will not be shared with anyone. We will not
use your log for any purpose other than to extract callsigns for the
database project.
Updated databases are available @ http://www.datomonline.com.
To help out please do the following:
1) Name your files using your call. Something like K9TM1.LOG,
K9TM2.LOG.
Please do not name your files like 01SSCW.LOG! You only have to rename
a couple of files... I potentially have to do thousands (ok wishful
thinking, probably only hundreds).
2) Send the files as attachments to the email.
3) Please do not zip or otherwise compress the files.
4) It would also help if you could please make your subject line "[DTA]
your_callsign", for example Subject: [DTA] K9TM. Just like subject
lines from reflectors. This will allow me to sort the responses from my
normal mail.
5) Send the logs to: k9tm@buckeye-express.com.
If you would like to send your logs throughout the year rather than this
batch method, that is OK with me. If enough people do this, I wouldn't
have any problem making updates available more often.
If there are any questions regarding the databases, please direct them
to me (K9TM). We look forward to receiving many logs and putting
together the updated databases.
Thanks & 73s,
The master.dta team

Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.2.20020802023553.01aea290@pop.dc2.adelphia.net>
Kudos to K9TM and K8CC for taking on the task of generating master databases.
It's a tricky thing to get accuracy. Unfortunately, the starting point
(people's logs) can bring with it a lot of chaff. For example, I've been
told that the CQWW SSB log-checking database shows about 97,000 calls, of
which only ~30,000 are good calls. In other words, 2/3 of the call-signs
that could be gleaned if you had access to everyone's logs over a number of
years would be bad!
I'm sure that the logs submitted to K9TM and K8CC will be a lot cleaner
than that, and techniques will be applied to screen the unique/probably bad
calls out of that input. But even then, a lot of the common busts -- H for
S on CW, for example -- will undoubtedly sneak through.
Ironically, I find that rather helpful. Whenever I'm tempted to rely too
heavily on the database, I need only look at the screen when I'm part-way
through entering a call and see what look like two or three variations on a
single call. Or are they different calls? Better just copy the station
and be sure!

Check in on 3830 starting about 8:30 PM PDT, when we can chat about
strategy, prop., logging programs, SO2R, etc. Number of check-ins will
determine how long we run the mini. We'll start the 10 or 15 minute mini
(80 and 40 CW, in the suggested CW segments) at 9:00 PM (04Z). This is a
good chance to check out your logging software and station before the REAL

The logs have started rolling in... thanks!
...and so have the questions. I have responded to everyone privately
(thus far) but would like to put a sort of FAQ list out here. So here
goes...
Q) Do you only want CQWW logs?
A) NO. We want all types of logs. WW is just one contest.
Any contest is fine.
Q) Why only cabrillo
A) Well since most all contest sponsors require cabrillo (or strongly
want) and
it has been around long enough now that software writers have had
time to
make it part of the package or write a post conversion program...
it really
helps tasks like this (and log checking).
Q) Since you do log checking for the ARRL you already have my 160 or 10
log, just use it.
A) While it is true that Dave and I do log checking for the ARRL, we
can NOT use the
logs submitted to the ARRL. Why? Because the ARRL does not want
them used for
anything other than log checking. That is their decision and Dave
and I abide by it.
Please send your logs again as described in the earlier post for
inclusion into
the database.
Q) How do you get rid of bad calls?
A) There are several techniques used. While we try our best through
software and
human inspection... things still happen. Garbage-in, Garbage-out
still sort-of
applies. We hope to filter through things and come up with a
quality database.
We were pretty successful last year and AD1C did it for years
before us.
BTW, I added a step to take out known bad calls that may have made
it through.
If you have specific bad calls in mind or have found some in prior
databases,
please send me a note with those calls and I will add them to the
list.
Note that you don't have to send OE5OSO (really OE5OHO), that call
inspired
this method.
Q) My logs are small, are they still useful?
A) Yes, all logs are useful. You don't have to be multi-multi,
multi-single or
multi-anything. All logs help.
Q) Do I need to mark the logs differently by contest (dx -vs- domestic,
etc)?
A) Nope, the tools do all the work for me (well most of it).
If other classes of questions come in, I will update this list.

Message-ID: <200208021822.g72IMfQK033136@cobra.ordata.com>
We've discussed here the reminding of past contest participants about an
upcoming event, either by mail or email. That's really preaching to the
choir, so let's take it a step farther ....
An old sales rule of thumb says it's six times easier to sell an
existing
customer than to recruit a new customer. To entice new blood into our
sub-hobby, why don't we ...
Choose a local contest -- in USA, for example, perhaps the FQP or CQP --
so that rates will be reasonable AND callsigns will be familiar. Look up,
on www.qrz.com, everyone in your ZIP code (I'm not sure how our non-USA
friends would do this). Then, ten days or so before the contest, do one of
the following ... or both, if you like:
(1) Send each ham a postcard inviting him/her to operate or observe the
contest. Make it Open House-style ... between the hours of xx and yy ...
and be sure to include food.
(2) Also ten days or so ahead, after identifying each ham in your ZIP
code, send him/her an email (a click on the callsign in the ZIP code search
in qrz.com takes you to a page that MAY have an email address). In the
email, extend the above invitation AND attach a minute or so audio clip
from your station in a high-rate SSB contest.

Hi Tim:
Yes I have a file now thanks.
Yes I saw that in the rules and it sounds a bit backwards!!!....As well I notice
in TRLog that the mult list has VO1 and VO2.....?? So if the rules say that
"Newfoundland counts as Labrador" why isn't the multilier just VO?? I am
confused. Anyway the official name for the province is "Newfoundland and
Labrador".....for many years the name was "Newfoundland"...but last year the
Canadian govt under pressure from some politicians who aren't busy enough,
changed the name to include Labrador. All of us who are native Nfld'ers have
always known that VO2 was part of the province so the change is a bit ridiulous.
VO2 is in CQ Zone 2 and VO1 as on zone 5 ...so VO2 is special in that sense.
Anyway maybe Tree can advise as to why VO1 and VO2 are in the mult list when the
rules say that Nfld. counts as Labrador.
Anyway

Message-ID: <002501c23b2e$0ae35440$cffd7243@sbcglobal.net>
Dick N6AA and I are very much appreciative of all the real-time cheering we
received during the WRTC. Especially, from the Senior Set, who I guess we
were somehow representing. Sorry we didn't race to the finish, first, and
hope we didn't let anyone down, other than ourselves. Age was not our
excuse; feeble-mindedness may have been.
What did someone call us? "Old and Treacherous", I think I heard.
OK, fair enough.
In recent months, I've been thinking that this being my FIFTH solar maxima,
of serious contesting that is, it may very well be my last! How depressing
is that?
So, quitting not exactly being in my internal workings, I have decided to go
public with:
SECRETS OF CONTESTING NO.5:
Many in this country, at least, probably read last week of the Yale
University research findings that if you THINK YOUNG, you will extend your
life (on the average) ANOTHER SEVEN AND ONE-HALF YEARS. And further, that
this singular "habit" is more important to your health than factors such as
blood pressure and cholesterol.
Can you imagine this?
Thusly, I hereby announce that I have extended my personal goal of SERIOUS
contest expeditions until I am Age 100. That's another 37 years, or ANOTHER
3 SOLAR MAXIMA! Wow. And then when I reach 100, I'll decide if I'll go
another 5 years, or not. And another 5, and so on. I hope you all will be
around to celebrate this with me.
Some are probably saying, "How silly is this? Neiger has definitely and
finally gone over the edge"!
My challenge to ALL of you: please sign up to this plan of (1)thinking
young, and (2) dumping pathetic excuses of WHY YOU CANNOT hit the contest
DXpedition trail this fall, or putting in MAJOR efforts from home this and
every year.
What if Yale is right? You, at least may benefit the most. And the rest
will derive great benefit from your activity, and many more multipliers!
And having our radio friends with us for so many more years, we all win.
And what has been on many of our minds, the bad notions that ham radio, and
contests are dying (at least in the USA), and have a limited future, are, as
they say " a little pre-mature".
Maybe we can't attract many youngsters into the hobby. But we certainly
have the potential to EXTEND our useful contesting lifetimes.
And I may not make the Top Ten every year, but at least if won't be for want
of a serious effort.
Please join me in this quest. And thank you for reading this far.

I certainly think the Yale study is right! I attended my 40th High School

people
looked! Especially the ones who never left Carlsbad, New Mexico. I've
tried
my best to destroy my body over the past 45 or so years with little success
but I think it's because I "think young" and won't participate in getting
old -
why should I? Hopefully we'll be doing a M/M from some exotic country or
planet 30 years from now - if you're there I'll be there too! My 60th
birthday
party will be held in Brazil or some South American country on November
26th - just after CQWW CW PT5A - it'll be a blast. I've celebrated my
birthday
on every continent and not sure how many countries and they were all fun!

Bill, I though think that anyone who is an MIT alumni would be able to
acknowledge that modes like PSK31 could easily be superior to CW.
On a theoretical grounds, PSK has a signal/noise advantage of about 4 dB
over OOK (on-off-keying -- eg CW) in the presence of Gaussian noise.
Granted, the signal impairment of typical HF channels isn't purely
Gaussian, but the theory is there none the less.
As a pratical matter, PSK31 has demonstrated that solid copy is possible
with signal levels that are INAUDIBLE to the human ear. Read that again.
Inaudible -- as in you cannot hear it. Since CW is typically decoded by
ear, this clearly indicates the superiority of the mode in weak signal
environments.
As for tuning PSK31 signals, it's pretty obvious to anyone who is
familiar with current PSK31 applications -- you do not tune in signals by
ear. It would be impractical to do so. Instead, you tune according to a
visual display, typically an FFT waterfall. Signals are clearly evident
on this display and easily tunable. Many applications don't require
precise tuning -- just click on the visible stream in the waterfall
display.

By that logic, e-mail doesn't mean anything, either.
To me, though, it's just a means of person-to-person communication.

It still takes considerable radio skill and communications acumen to hold
a PSK31 QSO.
Do you hold the same opinion of Baudot RTTY?

There ARE NO CW subbands on HF. There are a few narrow CW-only subbands
on VHF, but not on HF.
CW is permitted everywhere, and there are no indications it will be
prohibited.
I really get annoyed at this suggestion that any regulatory change is
couched in the framework of somehow eliminating CW subbands, when such
subbands do not exist.

Technically, you're incorrect. Human-read CW signals are limited by being
audible above the noise. Certain digital modes can greatly exceed that
capability.
N4HY and W3IWI did experiments back in the mid-80's where they did
MOONBOUNCE with weak 432 MHz signals. (They actually read the CW off the
FFT displays from their transceivers.) Once you bring signal processing
to the problem, new types of communications are possible -- ones that are
not limited by the human ear.

>SOSB records for CW vs SSB on 160-40 in the CQ WW records here:
Bill, this is so fallacious an argument, it is almost ludicrious to
reply. Not only does one have to contend with the different bandwidth
requirements of SSB over CW, but the world-wide frequency allocations are
so varied that simplex communication, the mainstay of high-speed contest
operation, are not possible on SSB -- but are common for CW.
> In the extreme conditions on the low bands, CW rules!
Over SSB, sure. CW requires almost 100th of the bandwidth of SSB. It's
information rate is much lower.
Dr. Shannon has a well-known theory about information transmission.
Sending information and lower rates requires less bandwidth, and can
therefore be done at lower signal levels.
By that rule along, modes like PSK31, whose information rates are lower
than some CW signals, ought to be superior with weak signals.

I've seen this argument so many times, I'm somewhat sick of it.
It is a good technical point. My question is -- why is it only applied to
SSB? Wouldn't this operation also be beneficial for CW? Of course it
would. So, why not propose to use CW exclusively in the US from 1950-2000
kHz and work all DX split?

SSB has bandwidth problems on the higher bands, with the possible
exception of 10 meters.
One important effect on the higher bands is that the presence of skip
zones tends to limit co-channel interference.
Bottom line, though, CW requires only a percent or so of the bandwidth of
SSB. Therefore, the signal levels required for effective communications
are definitely lower.

I don't think these records are any indication of the inherent properties
of the mode. On SSB, most likely it is due to the higher availability of
stations to work than the properties of the mode itself.

These modes aren't anything alike. WSJT is 441 baud, which is actually a
rather high signalling rate compared to CW. WSJT is designed for meter
scatter work, and therefore has to transfer information at a high rate.
(it also uses multi-bit FSK, to avoid some of the phase distortions
present in the meteor pings)
So, WSJT is not extremely narrow. It is wider than typical RTTY or 300
baud packet, even.
Point is, each of these modulation techniques is designed to meet certain
channel goals. WSJT works much more effectively than high-speed CW. (high
speed here meaning 100-800 wpm!)

I think Bill missed my point, probably because I could have put that more
precisely. There are no CW sub-bands, but the phone sub-bands protect CW
from phone QRM. I worry that the FCC will succumb to pressure to expand
the phone sub-bands to cover more and more spectrum now effectively set
aside for CW and digital modes. Digital devotees should realize that the
existing phone sub-bands now protect them, too.
As for metaphors, I still prefer sailing, because while CW may be
Piper-Cub-slow, it's also sailboat-like-fun.

The new digital modes are far superior to CW or SSB in being able to copy
weak signals. But they take more time to make a QSO. If you're trying to
compare rates, that is a factor. Just like a view camera is far superior
in results to a 35mm camera. But it takes at least several minutes to set
it up. It isn't "point and shoot".
So you might say that the digital modes are better than CW or SSB in
having QSO's or ragchews but aren't the best for rapid contest operation.
My favorite is still CW.

Actually, the software we used at W1AW/5 is 95% of the way to making that
sort of operation quite feasible. The stations at W1AW/5 were all
interconnected by TCP/IP over the internet, so whether they are in the same
state or not is pretty minimally important. And since the complete log
of the entire operation was always available to each of the stations in
realtime, you wouldn't need to worry about dupes or not knowing which bands
to pass calling stations to, etc.
The next big step in the software would be to integrate some very responsive
inter-station signalling that required few keystrokes to send and little
brain-power to receive. Signals like "I am now QRT - you take it over from
here," or "I can hear him well enough to complete the QSO, please standby
while I work him" and such boiled down to something that makes it fast
was the one trick we lacked at W1AW/5. Such signalling might also find itself
useful for traditional multi-multis.
With this sort of idea, if you had three stations on 80SSB, you could have
the midwest station CQing, and then whenever a caller comes along whom he
cannot hear, you could have the east coast or west coast stations jump in
on a QSO-by-QSO basis to complete the contacts while still limiting the
team to one transmitted signal per band-mode at a time.

That's a good question. Does anyone know the details of their

Tony and Jim, et all,
Sign me up! I took my first trip outside the U.S.
last CQWW CW to PJ2T at 57 (almost 58) and have my
plane tickets for this fall already. I have only been
seriously contesting for 12 years, even if licensed
for 43. I have always thought and felt young and
rowdy. I am not ready for a rocker and pablum yet, if
ever!
After my 2nd divorce, I have a new young girlfriend,
she's only 50 and looks and acts young, and we are
like teenagers. She thinks ham radio is very cool.
I am one happy contented contesting dude!
I used to say that I wanted to be shot by a jealous
husband when I'm 90, but now I say that I'm looking
forward to working you all in the contests of the
next 3 or 4 sunspot cycles, and see you from PJ2T on
this year's CQWW CW.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CW works better!
Message-ID: <1.5.4.32.20020805155047.00728bc0@pop.vnet.net>
Under extreme contest conditions on any band, CW rules! Why
is this so? The answer is very simple...noise bandwidth. On the
low bands, noise tends to increase as you move down in frequency.
This is due to three primary reasons:
1. Local atmospheric noise (i.e. lightning storms) is propagated more
effectively on the low bands, 160 being the extreme.
2. Local manmade noise is worse on the low bands (powerline leaks,
electric fencers, and a multitude of other local sources)...again
160 being the extreme.
3. Local signal congestion interference is worse on the low bands
because you do not have the effective skip zone protection that
higher bands afford. This case is inverted on the higher bands
where most interference is from strong distant stations, but it is
more difficult to generate DX signal strengths as strong there as
commonly experienced on 160 or 80 from local stations (-20 to -30 dBm).
Because of noise, any mode which allows a smaller (i.e. narrower)
noise bandwidth will be more effective in communications than a mode
which requires larger bandwidths. W8JI recently commented on this on
the FT-1000MP reflector:
http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/1000mp/2002-August/003416.html
********************************************************************
The reason is noise power is directly proportional to receiver
bandwidth, while signal level is constant as long as the signal is
narrower than the bandwidth. If you have a 100Hz filter bandwidth and
a 100Hz signal bandwidth, and switch to a wider 1kHz bandwidth, you
increase noise ten dB.
(This is most of the reason why people think PSK is significantly
better than other modes like CW. The digital system uses a ~70 Hz
filter in the computer but and the "ear" listening hears the signals
through a 2.1kHz SSB bandwidth of the receiver. Switch to a 100Hz
filter and copy a slow CW signal at slow typing speeds, and that
"apparent" advantage evaporates.)
*********************************************************************
SSB has an advantage in contest conditions where there is
relatively low manmade or atmospheric noise (20-10 meters) and
especially where interference due to signal congestion is not an
issue (i.e. 10 meters). Where congestion interference becomes an
issue, CW again has the advantage because of its narrow noise
bandwidth. In this case, the noise is primarily due to adjacent
signals rather than atmospheric or local manmade noise. The WRTC
teams made most of their contacts on CW because signal congestion
was severe on all of the bands below 10M and their 100W signals
were most effectively heard on CW using narrower bandwidths than the
wider bandwidth SSB requires. Taking a quick glance at the results,
only ONE of the 52 teams made more contacts on SSB than CW, and the
top 5 stations made 62% of their total contacts on CW, even though
scoring incentives were identical for both modes:
http://www.wrtc2002.org/results.htm (click on Full WRTC2002 Score
sheet link at the bottom for Excel spreadsheet)
I don't believe any current digital mode has an advantage
over either CW or SSB in contest conditions, not due to any
bandwidth considerations, but simply due to the awkwardness of the
human/computer/radio interface in making contacts rapidly (tuning,
identifying, exchanging, etc.) IMHO the human brain coupled to a
radio is a far more powerful combination under contest conditions
than any mode which requires a computer for coding/decoding signals.
This might change in the future but that's how I see it today.
73, Bill W4ZV
P.S. The 2000 CQ 160 CW & SSB Contests had nearly identical
participation levels (December 2000 CQ Magazine listed 4606 unique
calls for SSB and 4512 for CW), so participation does not explain the
advantage CW demonstrated in the contest results. Also, the 2001 ARRL
bandplan was not in effect for any 160 contest results previously
referenced, so all USA SSB stations had full access to the entire band.
(Of course there WAS a bandplan in effect before 2001 but nobody honored
it until Riley Hollingsworth sent enforcement letters last September).

Another aspect of both CW and SSB is that a sufficiently skilled operator
can copy more than one signal at a time. I'm not aware of a "new digital
mode" that supports this "feature".
Of course if you increased the data rate, and hence the bandwidth, you could
make the QSO's so fast that it would be indistinguishable from copying more
than one signal at a time, but the increased bandwidth would leave CW as
superior again. ;-)

*IF* feedlines were lossless, this would be true. In some situations, one
can use a feedline that is nearly lossless, so that the absolute SWR
matters less.
Such antennas are usually compromise antennas, and contestors are less
likely to compromise. Even so, LB Cebik's 88 foot doublet design is a
compromise of this type. It was really intended as a backup or second
radio antenna.

9913 isn't lossless at HF, but it's loss is lower than other coax. Well,
that is, until it fills up with water....
>Or that a 1 dB difference in a signal is unnoticable at either end.
For signals well above the noise, 1 dBis just perceptable. But for
signals in the noise, it cam make all the difference.
>Or that connector loss is negligable.
If connector loss were even 1%, running 1500 watts through a connection
for just a few minutes would heat it up with 15 watts of power. They
would be HOT.
In practice, when properly installed, connectors do not heat this way. In
fact, even at full power, most connectors don't show any measurable
heating at all. This lack of heating indicates that connectors have
negligable loss.
That said, you're still better off to have as few connectors as you can.
Each connector is still a point of failure.
>All those statements are lies. Find out why.
Not all of them are lies. But finding out why is good advice....

This sort of Internet octopus would be pretty unwieldy, given the current
state of the network -- just too much latency. At NU1AW/4, I think that
having one station handle all the CW and another all the SSB was a pretty
good way to do things. With multipliers only counting once per band
there's little incentive to pass mults between modes.

Hello, All:
I am in PJ2 with an Array Solutions SO2R Master. I'm having
intermittent RF problems. They appear to be with the receive
audio switching relay...it's chattering or switching when the paddle

Has anyone had similar problems? Any suggestions?
I have grounded the SO2R box and computer, added ferrites

bypass capacitors.
Thanks in advance.

Digipan allows you to copy 2 PSK31 signals at once. W1SQLPSK allows you
to copy up to 20 (yes, twenty!) PSK31 signals at once.
None, however, allow you to transmit more than one signal at once. I'm
not sure I could type that fast, anyway. :-]

You have not kept up! The latest versions of both DigiPan and
WinPSK can copy two separate signals at once. They even have a
"seek" function similar to the one on your car radio.
Try 'em, you'll like 'em.

Hi Rich,
Although I do support CW with all my heart, PSK 31 can copy several signals
simultaneously and the bandwidth is quite comparable with that of CW. Never

I have been suggesting an "Experimental" category in regular contests for just
this kind of activity. There's really no reason why not to try it in, say, CQ
WW except for it not meeting the requirements for any of the categories. I
think an Experimental category would open the doors to some innovations.
About the only requirement for Experimental category would be to obey all the
rules of your ham license and whatever you do, you have to write it up and
explain it publically so we can all think about it. You might want to restrict
it a tad by limits on one signal per band, 1500 watts maximum output, etc. If
the contest sponsors don't want to implement another category, then submit the
results as a check log and write it up anyway. If it's a really good idea,
either the idea will be adopted or you can start a new contest.
As far as just distributed efforts, you can have distributed M/S or M/M as with
W1AW/5, although identification gets a little sticky on a worldwide basis. You
could also have distributed teams. There comes a whole new set of interesting
strategic problems like how to allocate bands as the earth rotates. What if
you have enough bandwidth to listen from remote sites? What if a single-op has
a half-dozen remote stations? The possibilities are pretty wide open. The
Internet offers a tremendous dose of technology, why don't we make it possible
to use it, while still retaining an emphasis on operating skill?

Less power consumption transmitting, particularly if one is

Hi, Bill.
This is reminiscent of when I bought a brand new ARRL Handbook for Radio
Amateurs at Bookmaster a year or two ago. Word had spread via the Internet
that the Handbook was on sale for $8. The price tag was still the original
shelf price. You had to tell the counter clerk it was on sale--he then
looked it up on their computer system and found, yes, indeed, it was on
sale.
Apparently, Bookmaster/Barnes&Noble puts selected books on sale at selected
and various stores. The stores don't always get the word and/or they don't
get marked as being on sale.
I've made it a point to ask the clerk to check their network system if the
book I'm wanting to buy is on sale. (don't take their word for it; have them
check their computer system)

Subject: [CQ-Contest] S units have been 6 db for a LONG time.
Message-ID: <000d01c23d0c$96e4e3c0$0500a8c0@swift>
Have a look at the meter (carrier level indicator) on this photo of an
excellent condition pre-WW2 RME 69.
http://www.nucleus.com/~jordana/rme69dials.jpg
Calibration is 0-72 db in six db steps, with a lower scale clearly in
S units, going 1-9 every six dbs.
The photo is good enough that you can read the "RADIO MFG ENGINEERS"
and the PEORIA, ILLINOIS, U.S.A. in the meter face fine print.
I think the RME 69 is mid thirties. This is back when you had to read
the manual to see what the knobs did. Notice the complete lack of
stamped lettering around the knobs.
http://www.nucleus.com/~jordana/rme69front.jpg
So the IDEA of an S unit being 6 db is quite a bit older than some
have put forward. Whether this one is any better than modern receivers

I'm intrigued as to what process was used to create the dial
calibration for the main tuning. Photo offset of a hand-drawn master?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] but are YOU really
Message-ID: <3D4F5EB7.2050503@tampabay.rr.com>
There was a barrage of comments related to CW being outclassed by PSK31
including the following which was typical of them:
"Digipan allows you to copy 2 PSK31 signals at once. W1SQLPSK allows you
to copy up to 20 (yes, twenty!) PSK31 signals at once."
I believe the problem, which you will in turn say is semantics, that a
lot of us have is that we feel statements like the above are just plain
wrong.
Why?
Because the OPERATOR is NOT COPYING the signals ... a machine is.
If this is indeed the direction we are headed I guess things like
contesting and WRTC are history - after all it will be which engineer
has access to the best components and can design the best boards for
their "decoders"
This is also the reason why a lot of us do not even both investigating
PSK31 - it isn't operating ... I also feel the same way about RTTY. If I
am not having to use my brain to decipher sounds and turn them into
contest exchanges, etc. it is not operating (to me) .
What is the sizzle, what is the romance, why bother?
Data exchange is not operating, IMHO. That's what the internet is for!
And I agree that it is possible to copy more stations at one time on CW
than phone - if you are really good!
73, am not trying to start a fire just stating my opinion - granted it
is from someone who feels older than N6TJ.

A 6 dB division and intuitively the half, 3dB, have definitely a
meaning.
6dB equals a doubling in voltage and a four times the power, 3dB
increase a power doubling, and so on.
Everything loses meaning when the AGC voltage doesn't follow this
logaritmic law and a receiver is a communication equipment rather than
an instrument.

Well said Jim. When contesting or DXing becomes nothing more
than exchanging data between our computers, everyone being 599+ with
no more effort than plugging their laptop into their telephone jack,
then this hobby is dead for me. You only need to look at some of
the spots and talk messages on the OH2AQ Webcluster to see that we
are getting close today. Take a look at the VHF spots especially:
http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/144.html
http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/430.html
I'm not picking on these guys but here's just one of many examples:

When you can make a realtime sked using the internet, make "2-way QSO's"
without either operator actually having heard the other using WSJT at
VHF or QRSS at VLF, and then "confirm" it realtime, I personally have to
question what the point is. This just reminds me too much of nets (and
prompters on the low bands) where "2-way" QSO's could never have been
made without the assistance of a third party.
I maintain that contests are one of the few areas left in our
hobby that have not been corrupted by stuff like this, but this is why
fewer of us know how to S&P without a Packetcluster screen in front of
us. Everyone can be 599+ with no radios or antennas necessary if we
push this to the extreme. A monkey with a computer connection (there
already may be a few on this reflector IMHO) can be equally loud as
anyone else. Dumbing down using computer-to-computer QSO's is simply
the next logical step until we next decide not to bother with radios
and antennas at all. When we reach that stage, I'll be long gone.

P.S. I wonder what W1CW thinks about computer-to-computer QSO's?

http://www.waedc.de
QRL? Are you busy?
QRU? Have you anything for me?
QTC? How many messages have you to send?
QTX? Will you keep your station open for further communication with me?
QRU would be no QTC to send and
QTX would be I have some but it's not a good time to send them.
There are a lot of unique things about the WAE contest:
a) only contest with QTC feature
b) the mult station in a M/O has no 10-min band restriction
c) S/O off times can only be taken in up to three time blocks
d) Scores "booklet" sent to entrants (mailed from Germany)

It's not true, Pete. The "phone" subbands actually separate analog
modulation (voice, fax, television), from "digital" subbands (RTTY,
Packet, etc). CW is permitted everywhere. CW operators can choose any
frequency that is free of QRM, regardless of mode.

Again -- the same error. There is no spectrum "set aside" for CW on HF.
All frequencies are allowed for CW.
Indeed, it would appear, from the comment made by the FCC official that
further expansion of analog modes is less likely. After all, if amatuers
start emphasizing more digital modes, then the increased demand of these
frequencies would support the digital subbands, not caused them to be
decreased.
> Digital devotees should realize that the
>existing phone sub-bands now protect them, too.
Uh, it's vice versa. CW devotees should realise their best allies against
"phone QRM" are digital devotees.

This has been a topic of discussion before. I remember an article in the
last 15 years or so indicating that perhaps the best way to enhance
digital contesting is to develop a special protocol for contest exchanges.
Of course, such a mode would appear to further remove the human element
from contest operation.

No one says you can't enjoy the mode. I do.

The operator still has to read the signal on the screen. The operator
still has to reply with his answers. To me, the operator is still copying
the signals - he's using his eyes instead of his ears. Why is that
different than SSB, CW or anything else? It is not totally a
machine-to-machine QSO, the operator is still involved. It's the
operator's ideas and thoughts that are being exchanged, not the machine's
(if machines can even have ideas and thoughts - read "Godel, Escher, Back
- an Eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas R. Hofstadter.)

Some of us think that new things are adventures. I still vividly recall
my first QSO's on 160, 30, 17, 12 meters; 222, 432, 1296, 2304, 3456 etc.
MHz. And my first QSO's with RTTY, PSK31, MFSK16, etc. They were ALL
adventures!

My opinion is that data exchange is data exchange - whether you exchange
the data via spoken word, Morse code, written or typed message or
telepathy - it's still data exchange. RADIO is the medium - a signal sent
from an electronic transmitter to an antenna and then relayed via free
space, ionosphere, troposphere, EME or whatever, and then received at
another antenna and detected by an electronic receiver. If it's done that
way, it's radio regardless of the mode of communication used. I myself am
interested in all the modes available. But I should note that CW is still
my favorite and occupies 90% or more of my operating time.

Gosh, another thread being beat to death. Valid points from
both camps, but look fellas; this is a hobby. Some folks like
Vanila and some like Chocolate.
Another example, analagous to Pete's Sailboat came from
Chuck Yeager at the Oshkosh airshow on "Sunday Morning".
He mentioned that he had flown 2500 MPH, and that the F15s
and F16s were relatively easy to fly. He enjoys flying his
vintage P51 Mustang. As he said, That takes real skill, and
if you don't stay on top of it all the time, it will beat you up.
Why don't we just enjoy the hobby, what ever mode we prefer.

Hi Ronald:
I've done some more research. I'm using TR-Log. Jay
from Array Solutions provided a suggestion for filtering RF
noise.
The problem appears to be that the LPT port in this computer
can't drive the STROBE, PTT, CW, Radio A/B and one
paddle (DIT or DAH) reliably in the presence of RF.
I can see the PTT voltage levels varying a little bit on a
voltmeter, following the paddle keying. This is enough to
cause the PTT sensing in the audio switching to follow the
keying.
The radio A/B select is so marginal that adding a voltmeter
probe to one specific leg of the input circuit causes something
to go into oscillation!
I'm going to try a different computer, with a different LPT
port type. I suppose I should build an opto-isolated interface...
Thanks and 73,
Mark, KD4D

I haven't tried PSK31 yet, so can't comment there, but I have done some
RTTY. Normally I find myself in violent agreement with OJ on most things,
but this one is a big exception. There definitely IS an element operator
skill involved in RTTY--a HUGE element. Until you've been on the receiving
end of a good RTTY pile-up, you just can't appreciate what chaos is. There
are lots of good calls in that mess, but trying to pull out just one good
one can be quite a challenge. It's the kind of thing where a mediocre op is
likely to have a UBN rate that is just through the roof. (Right now I'm
living in dread of my UBN report from last winter's RTTY/RU, because I know
I'm one of said mediocre RTTY ops!) In addition, timing is
everything...just as it is in CW. I can listen to a really great RTTY op
(e.g. AA5AU) running a pile-up and see hear just as much beauty (well,
almost) as listing to one of the CW greats showing off their stuff.
In summary, my advice to OJ would be to give it a try sometime. I think Jim
just might discover a new challenge and have some fun. And, super op that
he is, I would expect that eventually--after he learned the needed
skills--he would work his way into the top 10 boxes. Say, didn't K5ZD do
just that a few years ago?

Message-ID: <20020806154246.15331.qmail@web13302.mail.yahoo.com>
This debate is like others along the same lines..
Both have dedicated camps of followers who have
passionate (and usually well-reasoned) points of
view and positions staked out. Neither will budge
(much) off their positions.
(An aside.. kinda reminds me of the Kipling poem
about the 7 blind men touching different parts of
an elephant and THEN describing the elephant.
Each was right, passionate, and accurate... but
they all lacked an overall contextual point of
reference.)
After having followed the 'CW/NO CW',
'CW/SSB/PSK/etc' debates.. one theme seems to be
constantly appearing - at least to my eyes.
The BIG difference between the two camps is the
level of human involvment in the effort to
successfully initiate, follow through on, and
complete the communications.
CW/SSB operations (without intervening
decisionmaking technology involved) INHERENTLY
make the human being an integral part of the
equation. You CAN'T do it without the human
being.
It REQUIRES a buy-in and a committment to
participate which axiomatically brings ownership
(with the subsequenct personal pleasure of
succeeding in doing) to the entire process.
Ownership involves investment and that requires
one to comitt to the investment which invokes a
personal comittment by the one who is invested in
he process.
The decision on 'go/no-go' and success/failure of
the mission is totally dependent on the decisions
made by the human being which further cement the
relationship and make that bond even tighter and
more personal.
In the case of technology driven modes such as
PSK/RTTY/etc. where the machine makes the
'go/no-go', 'success/failure' determination and
decision the human being is reduced to a lesser
role not having any real stake or buy-in to the
success or failure of the mission outcome.
The amount of commitment/involvement/investment
of self is reduced (or depending on the level of
automation/technology involved) basically
eliminated and therefore no real sense of
achievement or satisfaction.
If the mission succeeds, it is due to the machine
being the primary source of success.. if it
fails.. then the machine is responsible. All the
human did was tune a knob and press a
button/click a mouse and stand back out of the
way.
The success/failure is dependent on a 'thing' not
a person and that drives the value to the human
down to where it becomes just a commodity to be
used rather than something to invest in.
No personal connection.. no buy-in.. no
investment of self into the project.. little
comittment... therefore little pleasure in
success or desire to findout why things failed.
I AM NOT.. ANTIDIGITAL/AUTOMATED MODES! I believe
firmly that digital modes and all the wonderful
benefits have their place, surely. Let us use
them for their best purposes, of course. However,
I think we should try to keep the understanding
of WHY in mind whichwill help eliminate the
constant aruging about 'MY MODE'S BETTER'N YOUR
MODE BECAUSE....' OH YEAH! WELL *MY* MODE CAN
DO...."..etc..etc..
Just one hams humble and perhaps misguided
understanding.
Fingers are twitching!@ MUST BE TIME FOR A
CONTEST!

Unless you have spent some time operating RTTY contests please do not put down
those of us that do. It is not all machine nirvana and just watching the
equipment do everything. It still takes some brain power and close watching of
the screen to know when to switch decoders or change the settings and, to copy
partial print, shifted characters and other anomalies of RTTY.
73 and how many more days till FQP??

Subject: [CQ-Contest] but are YOU really
There was a barrage of comments related to CW being outclassed by PSK31
including the following which was typical of them:
"Digipan allows you to copy 2 PSK31 signals at once. W1SQLPSK allows you
to copy up to 20 (yes, twenty!) PSK31 signals at once."
I believe the problem, which you will in turn say is semantics, that a
lot of us have is that we feel statements like the above are just plain
wrong.
Why?
Because the OPERATOR is NOT COPYING the signals ... a machine is.
If this is indeed the direction we are headed I guess things like
contesting and WRTC are history - after all it will be which engineer
has access to the best components and can design the best boards for
their "decoders"
This is also the reason why a lot of us do not even both investigating
PSK31 - it isn't operating ... I also feel the same way about RTTY. If I
am not having to use my brain to decipher sounds and turn them into
contest exchanges, etc. it is not operating (to me) .
What is the sizzle, what is the romance, why bother?
Data exchange is not operating, IMHO. That's what the internet is for!
And I agree that it is possible to copy more stations at one time on CW
than phone - if you are really good!
73, am not trying to start a fire just stating my opinion - granted it
is from someone who feels older than N6TJ.
73,
Jim, K4OJ

Well - to each their own - and anything that gets people excited about
doing radio is good.
However, for this op, having the radio signals in my head is where
the fun is. Hearing those dahs come off the moon (with my ears) is
so much more exciting than seeing some kind of computer printout.
Would phone sex be a bad analogy?
I have no interest in pursuing any kind of operating where the human
isn't in the receiving loop.

A monkey with a computer connection and thousands to spend on radio gear,
maybe.
Could somebody forward me this monkey's e-mail address.... I'm having a
bugger of a time setting up my MK-V for the digital modes.
Perhaps I just eat too many banannas, but I don't really think that all new
things are bad. (Just not as good as CW)

I agree. I've operated all 3 modes, and feel that the least amount of skill
is required for (in order):
1. The FQP
2. SSB

Not to mention the technical side. Setting up a top-notch RTTY
station takes more than plugging a key into the CW jack,
especially on the receiving end. And yet it's not rocket science
either; it can be done by most anyone who has the desire.

True of course, but still beside point for me. What we are doing
is using RADIO for communication. If you want real human
involvement in your communications, go talk to the neighbor over
the back fence. That far exceeds anything you can do with radio.
I'm trying to point out that we have a technically-oriented
hobby. Nobody gets their license because they want to improve
their people skills. For some operators just picking up a mike
or key is enough. For others, they become fascinated by the
technical details and pursue their interests to a fare-thee-well.
I'd guess I'm about halfway up the curve. I have a lot invested
in my station (time and money), but it pales beside what some of
the EME guys do. Or the very top contesters and DXers.
IMO, we are engaged in a technical hobby. The human interchange
is fun but secondary, and not the real driving force. YMMV and
probably does, but that's how I see it.

Lots of pro's and con's on this "issue" sparked by Trey's ambitious and
thoughtful ideas.
Most of the pro's and con's have been covered except for
family issues and career issues. These are issues that are not safe
to ignore.
Each year from about mid-January to the 3rd week in April,
I run a work marathon filled with issues of accounting, taxes, investments,
market trading, etc. Anyone in the financial services, tax or legal areas
has to deal with this. Some of us have more time and business
commitments than others.
In my case, it is almost impossible to make the time to operate in
both ARRLDX contests and CQWPX SSB. Fixing antennas is out of
the question, as is even thinking about the CQ160, Sprint or
anything else. Reviewing the log for typos (yes, I do this), and attempting
to write comments or contest notes stretches me almost to the breaking
point (as well as my family).
Now it is proposed that we have a 15 day deadline that for ARRLDX CW logs
will fall, depending on the calendar, either in the middle of ARRLDXSSB
weekend or shortly before it? It's just too soon in the middle of too much
going
on.
Perhaps this will be ok for others, but not for me. I also do not
understand how the difference between 15 and 30 days can be so pivotal and
crucial.
Let's first eliminate all the other sources of delays and deadlines before
we mess with this. Until and unless Congress changes our tax system and the
end of year work required to deal with it, a 15 day deadline virtually
ensures that I will have to make a choice between operating and not
submitting a log
or not operating at all.
I can't believe that this type of a choice, forced on the participants,
could be beneficial to any contest. For years we have waited many months
for the contest results. If instead of 7 months it will now take only 4
months, that's a great improvement! So why should it now be crucial to have
the results in 3.6 months instead of 4.0 moths?
I can wait, and I believe, so can a lot of the other participants.

Amen to that. Why does everything have to be (1) data rate, or (2) skill
involved? What IS this compulsion for speed?
CW is simply, pure FUN. (Remember when that was a sufficient goal?)
Before computers, and memory keyers, and electronic keyers, it was just
plain FUN listening to "fists". Anyone here remember those?
Some of the operators I was blessed to work (and know), like W3GRF, W3BES,
W4KFC, W6CUF, KH6IJ, W9IOP - they had unique FISTS. I wasted more SS time,
just sitting there listening to W4KFC run them at seemingly impossible
rates. Or the rat-a-tat-tat of KH6IJ. That was simply fun.
Even more recently, I wasted too much time in the 1984 CQ WW CW @ EA9KF
marveling at my friend N6AA @ 9Y4VT running Europe on 40 meters. Flawless,
and the skill all between the ears.
Computer screen, not required.
And Ville OH2MM @ EA8EA. You guys want to hear how the best does it?
I don't begin to purport to be as skilled as the afore-mentioned (as
everyone knows by now, I'm just perhaps more tenacious, and unfortunately
will out-last most of them), but when I'm running a pile-up from, say ZD8Z,
I envision myself as the conductor of a large orchestra (bear with me here,
guys). OK, it's your turn. And now yours, etc.
Done right, CW is music to our ears. That's it: CW is music. Anyone here
think they can come-up with something better than music?

>>> Anyone who can explain the merits of handing out QTC's in the WAE contest
Funny thing... I was thinking about this on my way home from work, hah!
Paul K4JA made an excellent point to Jerry KE9I and I after last
year's WAE SSB contest. We left a little too many unsent potential QTCs
on the table due to poor strategy on my part! I thought Sunday we would
be able to dump QTCs like crazy but that didn't work out.
QTCs usually contain info from 10 previous QSOs. Each QTC sent is
the same point value as each additional QSO. So assuming that you can
send off the 10 QTCs in maybe 1.5 to 2 mins (?) that would equate to
an hourly QSO rate of about 300-400. Even if sending 10 QTCs took
4 mins that would equate to an hourly rate of 150 QSOs/hour!
( 60mins / (time to send 10 QTCs in mins) ) * 10 = equivalent hourly QSO rate
And the rate "bump" works for both the EU and non-EU side of the contest....
Since we each get a point per QTC sent/recvd.
Now the punch line: You need more QSOs in order to send more QTCs!
Hats off to all the EU stations that are able to copy the QTCs sent at 30+ wpm!
Good luck everyone!
It should really be a lot of FUN...

Attention RTTY Contesters:
Working with Wayne, K7WM, the contest manager for NAQP
RTTY, I've come up with a survey on my website asking RTTY
contesters to express their opinion on whether or not 160M should
be added to the RTTY part of NAQP (like it is for CW and SSB).
Please only vote once. When you vote and place comments on the
page, they are sent to me in an E-mail. I will tabulate the results and
give them to Wayne. You don't have to make any comments, but
your callsign will be required.
I will publish the results on the web site and make an announcement here.
This survey will run one week and will be disabled on Wednesday, August 14th.
This is only a survey. I am guessing that it would take a very high result
FOR including 160M to have any thought about changing the RTTY rules
and that is not likely to happen IMO. But you never know.
The URL to the survey is www.aa5au.com/naqp.

Well, RTTY operators have been using 2 or 3 radios for quite some time.
And it isn't a difficult task to process multiple digital signals at one
time. There are PSK31 appliactions that do this today.
In fact, if we get beyond the limitations of a radio "audio channel"
there's no reason a digital radio couldn't decode 15 kHz, 50 kHz or even
an entire band worth of signals similtaneously -- something that would be
difficult or impossible with the human ear.

Very nice straw man you've knocked down there.
If anything, digital modes using FSK, PSK or other types of modulation
are easier to decode multiple instances similtaneously than OOK
(on-off-keying) modulations (like CW).

This is essentially Shannon's law. (Actually, the law takes into account
both the bandwidth and the threshold above noise -- the total area
therein defines the maximum information content that can be moved aross a
defined channel)
So, it follows that ANY mode (as you indicated) which has a narrow
bandwidth would be effective on these noisier bands.
One DISadvantage of CW is that the transmitter isn't always keyed. At
extremely low signal levels, it is hard to discern at the receiver when
the signal is present and when it is absent. For this reason, FSK and PSK
have a distinct advantage over OOK (CW) -- at least a 2 dB advantage.

I've never seen it in actual use, but there is an application called
RITTY, that apparently makes RTTY contesting very fast an effective.
There's also a RTTY contest application that works in concert with it.
I believe the future may have already arrived when you weren't
watching....

Guy,
Please name one NASA space mission in the last 40 years that has used
CW/OOK as a means of information transmission.
The "zero" state is exactly the problem with OOK. That's why it is
inferior to FSK, PSK or QAM.
Although PSK has a higher duty cycle than OOK, it has a 4 dB advantage in
the presence of Gaussian noise. One could reduce the power by half (3 dB)
over an OOK transmitter and still maintain a 1 dB advantage. If the duty
cycle of an OOK transmitter is 50%, the power consumption would be the
same, and still the PSK transmitter would have a 1 dB advantage.
OOK doesn't cut the mustard for space communications.

CW is music, but certainly not better than the music at Alpine Valley,
Wisconsin, this past weekend (instead of the NAPQ), when The Other Ones,
the remaining Grateful Dead, performed for two days at their
Terrapin Station show.
Were any other contesters there, and did you notice the callsign K6A
showing between Phil Lesh and Bobby Weir on their big screen projection?
If that's a clue that they plan to get their licenses, and use that
special call sign, and if they get as good at CW music as they are
with their current instruments, WRTC 20xx will likely have new
winners.

Interesting discussions about various modes. Wish it was a little closer to
the topic of contesting.
Since most contests are CW only, SSB only, or digital only (and a few are
CW+SSB), should there be a change?
What if there was a contest that wasn't single mode (or if multiple mode,
didn't reward with extra points for QSOs on each mode like IARU HF)?
Maybe that would help to answer the question of which mode works best in which
conditions. You'd have to choose the mode that would give you the best
combination of rate combined with ability to find new stations and work them
fast. That happens somewhat in the IARU HF, but there is no major contest I'm
aware of where CW and digital modes are both allowed (except Field Day, and
digital activity is fairly minor).

Prove it. I'll wait to see meaningful results or data before
I take your word for it. I've never seen any rates for RTTY that are
anywhere close to either CW or SSB rates. It would be interesting to
know what K3MM or N4GN (previous record holder) had for peak rates
but I would doubt they could be much above 120/hour even under optimum
conditions and with plenty of stations calling. Time for some facts
rather than more unsubstantiated opinions.

That would be a neat contest, though I wonder the extent to which you could
convince ops whose stations aren't already equipped to do the digital modes.
It is, of course, easier now with sound card applications that essentially
only require audio, PTT and control connections to a radio, but I imagine a
lot of ops won't bother even to do that (or if they have the requisite
connections, even to load the digital-mode application).
Be that as it may, PSK modes may be the answer to contesting during the
sunspot doldrums, or for those of us in the black hole...
Funny how the course of this thread changed from "which mode is technically
superior?" to "which mode is most fun?" I think it has been demonstrated
that PSK31 wins hands down in the technical superiority challenge but I'd
have to agree it falls dreadfully short on the fun-to-do scale. (I mean,
really, how can anyone contest the superiority of a mode that allows full
copy on signals that you can't even hear?)
That said, I will NOT be trading my Benchers for a PSK program anytime soon.

Inspired (!) by the recent debate on here about digital modes, etc. I
drafted the following editorial for the UK's Chiltern DX Club Digest (a
temporary distraction from working on IOTA Contest logs). But then I
thought, what the heck, some of you "Reflectees" might enjoy it too. If not,
the Delete key isn't far away ..

There has been a long-running debate on the Contests reflector recently
about whether digital modes such as PSK31 and WSJT (used on VHF for weak
signal work) are "real" amateur radio. Views, as you might expect, vary from
"CW is the only real mode" to those who believe the new modes will
eventually oust CW and SSB altogether. Indeed, there seems to be another
theory on the go to the effect that the FCC will eventually ban the
"traditional" modes altogether, as being obsolete, and insist that the
amateur bands only be used for high-tech modes. As always, I suspect the
real truth is far from either extreme.
Far be it from me to give a definitive answer, as there are obviously many
shades between the two extremes I have described. But it seems to me there
are several elements here, and to focus on just one of them is to hobble
this fascinating and broad-based hobby of ours.
Firstly, there is the aspect of amateur radio which lies in technical
experimentation (which increasingly nowadays means software rather than
hardware, that being the nature of the way technology has evolved). Amateurs
have a distinguished history of technological innovation, and to see
amateurs pioneering new ways of, for example, reliably achieving VHF/UHF
communication via the moon with much more modest stations than heretofore is
an example of real progress. It opens up low signal work to a much greater
community than before. Who knows, the professionals may have something to
learn from this too, as they did from packet radio and other advances. And,
of course, if radio amateurs refuse to adopt technological advances, we
might just as well still be using AM or even spark gaps. All this
experimentation, of course, helps also to hone our technological skills,
continuing amateur radio's role as a pool of communications specialists,
which employers can and do draw from (at least one UK employer in the
communications sector will automatically shortlist any job application from
a licensed amateur).
Secondly, there is the aspect of amateur radio which is public service,
perhaps less so in the UK, but very much so in the USA, the Caribbean
islands, and elsewhere. There is already an inquiry underway into why the
professional communicators were less than impressive in the aftermath of
September 11th, and we are all aware that radio amateurs played an important
role in plugging the gap. But supporting professionals in emergency
situations require that we be professional ourselves. This can mean, for
example, employing the latest technology, particularly digital technology.
However much we love SSB or CW, a packet message will almost certainly be
delivered with a higher degree of accuracy and, perhaps even more
importantly, with an audit trail.
Thirdly, there is the actual operating element. CW and SSB demand specific
skills (CW especially so), and employing those skills, especially in a
competitive situation (DXing or contesting) hones them, while giving us a
real sense of satisfaction. It is a moot point whether those skills are
transferable in the 21st century but, in a sense, this doesn't matter, any
more than whether a fly fisherman could be useful on a trawler. Some would
argue that the digital modes require no skill, as the operator isn't
actually listening to, and decoding the signals himself. Anyone who has
operated a digital modes contest is likely to disagree strongly; the
workload can be even higher than the traditional modes if a high QSO rate is
to be maintained. Certainly there are all the usual strategy decisions of
when to run, when to search and pounce, when to change bands, etc.
Fourthly, (lastly, or are there other aspects I should have mentioned too?),
amateur radio is very much a bridge between nations, perhaps one of its most
vital roles when there is so much suspicion and enmity around. Do the new
modes help or hinder? Amateurs have always argued that CW is great, because
even the poorest amateurs in emerging countries can probably buy or build a
CW rig. CW also goes a long way to overcoming language barriers. But wait a
minute. Who is to teach CW to those aspirants in the developing world. From
personal experience in Africa and elsewhere, probably no one. I could
equally argue that digital modes have real benefits. The amateur in a
tenament building with little or no room for outside antennas, and
surrounded by electrical noise from neighbouring appliances, may find HF
radio quite impossible. But the new modes, able to discern signals at much
lower levels, even below the noise threshold, may give his hobby a new lease
of life (indeed, for may amateurs, PSK31 has already done exactly that).
And who knows, in the not too distant future, real-time translation software
may totally remove the language barrier, bringing back into our
communications the thousands of amateurs who currently don't call us because
they are insufficiently confident in their use of English.
All in all, I believe that as a hobby we should embrace change as we always
have, while continuing, as individuals, to enjoy those aspects which
particularly appeal to us. Live and let live, as the old saying goes!

Interesting comment.
For me, fun is that spine tingle I get watching an almost

RTTY rates will never be higher than CW or SSB overall. The point is
moot. However, depending on the individual, RTTY rates can be higher
than in the other modes consistently.
For instance, my RTTY rates are always higher than my CW rates because
I've mastered SO2R on RTTY and not yet on CW even though I've
been CW contesting over 30 years.
The highest rate I've ever achieved as a single op on RTTY was 93 per hour.
I did this twice. During the first hour of the 2001 RTTY Roundup and the
2nd hour of the 2001 CQWW RTTY contest. Both were Low Power. I've
never achieved this rate on CW, ever, high or low power even though I've
tried. The problem with RTTY rates is that there are not as many RTTY
contesters as there are CW and SSB contesters. However, the number of
RTTY contesters is rising after every contest.

Hello fellow contesters;
I have read much of this thread on digital modes etc. There has been a lot
of talk along the lines of Chuck's post I am replying to. If we are talking
strictly about the copying of a signal, then yes, SSB and CW do require the
human component. However this discussion seems to miss what to me is a much
larger part of contesting - propagation, equipment, knowing your station,
knowing your personal limitations.
I personally have done a fair amount of SSB, CW and RTTY contesting. Yes,
when I do a RTTY contest I sit back with a burger in one hand and a beer in
the other, and occationally click the mouse. However, when there is a weak
one, I don't just give up and say "oh well, the machine can't copy it". I
read the text on the screen intently to see if I can find a prefix. I check
the clock to see if maybe there would be some other propagation mode that
might make sense (backscatter, skew path, long path etc) and try turning the
beam. Then I try a lower or higher antenna (even if it doesn't make sense).
I tweak the filters. I ask for fills. Often knowing to try these other
techniques brings the station up enough for the machine to do its work.
Sometimes this results in grabbing a mult, sometimes it isin't worth it -
just another DL. Before a contest I spend hours pouring over past years
logs of my station and other similar stations, planning, making band plans,
looking at current propigation conditions, deciding what band to be on when,

anomilies I can take advantage of, or a strategy that I tried last time that
clearly didn't work. It also allows me to make more balanced decisions
after a long night of 20/hr rates on 80M RTTY.
My point is that digital contests (at least RTTY) don't take the operator
out of the equation, it just relieves the operator from being the one to
copy the actual signal. There is still plenty of operator skill involved

Good idea because PSK contesting, IMO, is not fun at all (yet). Having entered
a good share of PSK contests, I can tell you that PSK31 is an excellent
conversational mode, but having nearly 20 years of RTTY contesting, I find PSK
contesting way too slow to be enjoyable. I no longer participate in PSK
contesting.
It's just not fun.
I believe the ARI International DX Contest is the only somewhat-major contest
that includes SSB, CW and Digital. When talking about Digital contesting, you
must think in terms of RTTY because any of the other digital modes are not
conducive to contesting at all. There is a mixed mode category in this contest.
I normally operate this contest RTTY only, and will occasionally work stations
with serial numbers several hundred higher than mine so I know these stations
are mixed. But the number of mixed stations appears to be low.
The CQ-M International DX Contest is SSB, CW and SSTV! There is no
combined SSB, CW & SSTV category though. There are combined SSB & CW
categories.
The Ukrainian DX Contest is CW, SSB & RTTY. The single op and mult op
categories are all mode only. But there is a RTTY only category.
For years, many RTTY operators have wanted RTTY included in the ARRL
10 meter contest (including me). I dabble in the CW part of the contest,
but like a lot of RTTY operators, feel we are missing out on the fun of the
ten meter contest. We feel the 28200-28300 section of the band could be used
for RTTY. They could still retain the mixed CW & SSB category and add
a RTTY only category for single and multi ops and reach more of the contesting
community as a whole. Even if RTTY was restricted to 28250-28300, it would
be better than having no RTTY at all.
I don't know that an all-mode contest category will ever be popular. I'm
willing to guess that at best, many of us are two mode contesters but not
3 mode.

Exactly. Contesting is NOT about which mode gives the most 'reliable
transport'. In fact, the more reliable the transport mechanics, the less
opportunity for the operator to get involved and make a difference. If I
want high-rate reliable transport, I'll use TCP/IP over fiber. If we're
talking about Health-and-Welfare emergency traffic, I'll take an
error-correcting mode with zero requirements on the operator.
Contesting is fun precisely because it's hard enough that there is no
guaranteed winning strategy and has enough variability that the game is
always different. By increasing the reliability of the communications, the
amount of variability, and thus, the fun, is reduced.

I can't sit quietly while this thread goes on.
Below, W4ZV suggests that because RTTY contest scores are
generally lower than their CW or SSB counterparts, he can
conclude that RTTY and other digital modes are slower and
have inherently lower rates than their CW or SSB counterparts.
I don't want to endorse AA4LR's software choices without
the necessary expertise, but I'd have to object to the closed
mindedness that W4ZV displays.
I'm a guy who "loves" the music of contesting, and for me that
means the chorus of SSB contesters, the symphony of CW,
and the grand combinations found in contests like the CQP.
But, for me, modern RTTY contests are like sheet music.
Sheet music just doesn't have the same sound as music that's
being performed. But, old time RTTY contests with the old
Model 15's kerchunking away rhythmically-- now that was
percussion.
Be that as it may, I'd still have to object that with sufficient
activity and technical advancement the digital modes have the
potential for much higher contest score yields than CW and
SSB. There's simply not enough digital mode contesting to
drive the scores up. Perhaps this is because many digital
mode contesters are active on CW and SSB while only a
fraction of CW and SSB contesters are active on digital
modes.
When I began contesting, and W4ZV as well, the record
high CW scores for most contests typically eclipsed the
phone scores just as the record high phone score he lists
below eclipses the RTTY score. How quickly he forgets.

Very interesting.
This topic has come up before -- why not include RTTY on 160m?
Traditionally, hams have found that 45 baud RTTY doesn't work so hot on
160m. The reason for this is the same reason that 300 baud packet doesn't
work so hot on 40m, and virtually not at all on 80m.
The specific problem has to do with the nature of the communications
channel on HF, well below the MUF. At these frequencies, there will often
be several propagation paths between two points. This multipath
propagation produces some interesting effects, including the observed
fading of the mark or space frequency.
There is one other effect -- multipath distortion of symbols. Since each
path has a slightly different distance, each change in the digital signal
arrives at slightly different times at the receiver. As you move further
below the MUF, the effect is much more pronounced. At some point, digital
symbols are smeared together, and cannot be easily separated.
Higher symbol rates (300 baud) show this effect at higher frequencies. 45
baud RTTY has been used effectively for many years on 80m -- but not on
160m.
The solution is simply to increase the symbol length. For single-bit
modes like Baudot RTTY, this would also decrease the information rate.
But, better to get the information across slowly than not at all.
PSK31, with it's lower symbol rate, may be more effective on 160m than
conventional Baudot RTTY. Slowing RTTY to 30 or 22 baud ought to be more
than sufficient to make reliable communications possible on 160m.

_________________________________________________________
There is another compensating factor on 160 meters which reduces
many of the effects that Bill mentions: Most 160 meter QSOs are
at a shorter distance than on the higher frequencies. The closer
the two stations, the less chance for multipath distortion.
Granted, if you tried to work a station half way around the world
on 160 meter RTTY, it would probably be a mess, if it even could
be done. But half way across the country ain't that bad. I only
have eight 160 meter RTTY QSOs in the log, but I don't recall any
particular difficulty with any of them. The farthest one was
about 1500 miles.
I'd like to give NAQP or some other contest a try. If it really
doesn't work, we can always go back.

I am thinking out loud here, but I do have some small experience with data
recovery in a difficult channel...
There are many ways to solve the problem (other than increasing the symbol
rate), even within the existing protocol. In general, the trick is to
correctly characterize the error function of the channel and to compensate
for this during transmit and/or receive.
Seems to me that if we set up the challenge of 160m for the folks who write
the RTTY software, we may very well end up with an improved product on the
other bands.

Hello Contesters!
The 48th WAE-DX-Contest is scheduled for the upcoming weekend, August
10/11 for the telegraphy portion. Operation is restricted to the
five classic HF bands from 10 to 80 meters. Exchange RST and serial
number. If you want to get serious, check out the rules, which are
published on the WAEDC Web site at http://www.waedc.de. Be sure to read
the chapter about QTC traffic.
There are minor changes in the rules in respect to previous years:
new DX multipliers for EU participants, a low power category, markup
of unassisted OPs, no more 10 minute QSY rule for Single OPs and
other little changes.
For the EU's:
Activities from some rare spots have been announced for the contest:
9Y4/DL5MAE, 5B4AGN, 9K9O, FR5FD, HS0/OZ1HET, JY9QJ, PJ2M, VP2V/N2WKS,
YB0ECT, ZL6QH and ZS4TX. Remember that at this time of the year,
stations in the southern hemisphere are enjoying good and quiet low band
propagation and so interesting QSOs can be made during WAEDC-CW with
South America, South Africa and Australia/New Zealand on the 80 m band.
For the non-EU's:
Several of the rare EU countries are expected to show up in this event.
Tune the bands and watch out for the 3A, C3, CU, GD, GJ, SV5, SV9, TK
and ZA stations! It is a good time to improve your DXCC totals. Join the
fun by sending QTCs back to EU stations. You don't need a big station
for this, everybody will want you even if you only have a tiny signal.
If you want to listen in on how QTCs traffic sounds, take a look at the
WAEDC Web site where some MP3 files of last year's QTC traffic are
available.
Last minute information is available on the WAEDC Web site
at http://www.waedc.de.
See you all during the weekend!

Message-ID: <003d01c23e07$35f46ee0$52bb180a@9byjx01>
http://home.woh.rr.com/wpx/breakown.htm
Interesting to see that there were 109 checklogs!
That is more entrants than 12 other categories (63%):
SO10HP, SO15HP, SO20LP, SO20HP, SO40LP,
SO40HP, SO80LP, SO80HP, SO160LP, SO160HP,
QRP, MM
Does this show that all the extra categories might not
draw enough participates to warrant the extra categories?
Has the WPX gone too far in having too many categories?
73, Eric

My TS850S repair web page has several new updates to it (thanks to
people like you who are contributing). I know a lot of people use
this radio in contests - and it is a very good value these days as
you can have a great radio with filters for under a kilo-buck on
e-bay.
Please check it out - there are many well known common failures that
are discussed.

And Bob is not commenting the single band scores in the magazine anymore.
But there is at least one single band score I would like to point out, check
this:
28MHz
HC8A 3.916.600 6957 39 161
(op N6KT)
That's almost 7000qs on 10 meters! (And almost 4 million points)
Wow, another great score from "Mr. Fast" !

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Small rigs
Message-ID: <004001c24188$8258a380$84abe4d8@bendcable.com>
I am looking for a small rig to take on a low pressure DX-pedition.
The country's power limit is 150W. The obvious answer is one of the smaller
"mobile rigs' IC706, TS-50S, FT-100, etc.
My question is which of the above is the best CW rig for a multiple
transmitter environment? I do not need 2m or 432 but 6m would be nice.

HI!
As far as I know the best small radio is ic706mk2g (price performance), but
depence what you need and like. If you do not want to spent much money ic735
would serve also!

QTC copy is much more enjoyable if traffic is sent in a smart fashion.
No need for repeated hour or leading zeros in received serial numbers.
UA9s are very good at that!

Hi Jim
It's plain to see you have never operated a RTTY contest. CW
contests are FUN, but so are RTTY contests. You have to make the
same decisions in either contest. When to change bands. Moving
guys from band to band. When to run and when to S&P. Run 2
radios or 1 radio. Catching that LP opening on 10 meters for a
quick couple of new ones. The excitement of seeing (or hearing)
a "goodie" come back to me is the same, no matter what contest or
mode it is. Try it, you'll like it!! Now PSK31, that's a horse
of a different color. Not much fun talking to a buffer in
someone's computer. 73

The 100W version of the Elecraft K2 is the best small CW rig, hands down, if
you can get your hands on one - or if you have the time to build one before
the trip.
I would not recommend the FT-100 for multi-tx: it seems to have some sort of
low-level broadband noise it spits out that is enough to really annoy other
nearby rigs. Filtering will clean it up, but that would seem to defeat your
size purpose. Other than that, the 100 is a pretty nice rig.
hope this helps - 73 - jeff wk6i

Tom is right on the ball with his answer Jim. I love cw also, but one
of the most fascinating things about RTTY is you never have to hear a
single sound. Just sit there with the mouse and go go go.
Plus, you won't wake up Monday morning to "diddle diddle" ringing in
your ears! ):>
Come on and give us a try, you find the RTTY folks are about the
nicest bunch you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting.

Contesting.com & eHam.net Users
I have been hosting the Contesting.com and eHam.net web sites and mailing
lists on my network since 1996. In the beginning, my company (Akorn
Access) provided the hosting for free. Since we started the eHam.net web
site two years ago and began to accept advertising, eHam has been able to
pay a small amount each month toward the hosting costs.
Today, eHam.net and Contesting.com steadily consume more than a T-1 of
bandwidth. Combined, the two sites deliver well over 4 million pages and
push more than 200 gigabytes of data each month. The success of both
sites and all of the mailing lists are demanding more and redundant
bandwidth. However, we face the question of how to pay for it.
The cost to host this level of bandwidth most anywhere else would exceed
$2000 per month. eHam is currently able to contribute only $250.00 per
month, leaving Akorn Access out of pocket for at least $23,700 per year.
In the past, I have been able to cover these costs because Akorn was doing
well enough in other areas and the utilization was not as high. With the
recent slow down in the economy and our changing Internet access business,
Akorn is unable to continue this level of support. Additionally, many
potential advertisers are engrained in their print advertising, and refuse
to acknowledge the Internet as a viable method of promoting their
products. Although we continue to sign up new advertisers, they are not
coming (and funding the site) at the same rate as the bandwidth
utilization.
So, with regret, I'm reluctantly forced to turn to the users of both sites
for ongoing assistance.
We have an annual subscription program at eHam.net for users to help pay
for the site operations. We don't define the amount of the subscription,
but rather suggest that each user define for themselves the site's value,
and consider their own financial ability to subscribe. We suggest
comparing how much time you spend reading QST or CQ magazines with how
much time you spend reading eHam.net, Contesting.com, or the various
mailing lists when making your decision.
You can help by subscribing at http://www.eham.net/cart/product/111. If
you are unable to contribute by credit card, you can send a check to
eHam.net, 5095 Hamptons Club Drive, Alpharetta, GA 30004.
Many thanks & 73
Bill Fisher, W4AN
PS - I should also point out that we have many volunteers working on both
Contesting.com and eHam.net who receive no compensation at all. These
folks volunteer their time to provide the rest of us these services. A
list of volunteers can be found on both sites, and it would go a long way
if you would write just one of them expressing your appreciation for their
time.

Come join the fun with a Tennessee Contest Group team. You don't have
to be in Tennessee to be on one of our teams. We will have teams from
big guns to little pistols. Team placement is based on past performance
(if any) so we usually have at least a couple of very competitive teams.
Drop me an e-mail by Thursday, August 15 if you are interested.

Peter,
I did a search on yahoo.com using "geochron" in the search field.
Netted a couple of hits.
One happens to be Geochron Enterprises

Hi Dick
Beware the IC706 in a multi rig environment. Steve G3VMW and I tried this a
few years ago and it was horrible. The 706 meets it's small size spec by
missing out some pretty important stuff....filtering! As a consequence the
706 generates some very significant broadband synth trash as soon as you go
to transmit....even with the key up. This problem stopped us using 706's on
DXpeditions where there was to be more than just one station on the air.
The TS50 doesn't seem to have this problem but it doesn't have 6m. I have no
experience of the FT100.
Roger G3SXW and I have used TS570s very successfully in multi-station
expedition set ups but they are rather larger than the radios you've
mentioned.
My own DXpedition rig of choice is now easily the Elecraft K2/100. No 6m
but boy what a radio. Superb rx performance and excellent QSK. Again a
little bigger than the 706 etc but still only 8 x 8.5 x 3 inches and easily
fits in hand baggage. It comes in kit form so you have to build it, though
if you wanted to buy one ready made I think you could find one easily with a
mail to the Elecraft reflector. There are folks out there who are in love
with just building the things!
Have fun.

Hi Pete!
I think Ham Radio carries them for about $1000. Before
spending that, you might consider their software version called
World Watch which lists for $50. http://www.geochronusa.com/
Depending on what you want to do, there are better
software programs available IMHO. I use one called DX-Aid
which costs $25...see some plots here:

Hi all,
I'm writing up the ARRL DX Phone contest reports for both QST and the ARRL Web
site. I'm looking for stories, scores, tall tales, photographs, and interesting
tidbits from the contest.
DX perspectives have been under-represented in the past, so with the expanded
coverage available on the Web I'd like to feature more material from outside NA.
I am also open to good ideas for the writeups in general - is there a topic
that should be covered or a new perspective? On the Web site, we can also
publish some sidebar-style digressions that tackle a small topic
in-depth...authors welcome!
Please send your suggestions or material to n0ax@arrl.net!

I also recommend Geoclock (both Windows and DOS versions):
http://www.geoclock.com/
We use it at KC1XX on three computers in the corners of the room. A lot
cheaper than Geochron!

that there is no Contest column, while columns exist for DX, Public

Maybe dropping contest coverage meant more than any of us realized it meant.

There's never been a contesting column in QST.
Contest results, as it happens, usually come out at least once each month,
so there is almost always contest content in each issue of QST, but there
is no regular column where content not related to the results of a specific
contest can be discussed.

Hello
I am looking for a contester contact in the

I've tried the email address of the listed contact for
the BCDXC but nothing heard. Any of you lurking around here?

Can't miss what we never had.
There's been a Contest Corral listing upcoming contests in QST for years.
But, I don't remember and, after going back to 1998 mags, don't find a QST
contest column or anything similar to K1AR's column in CQ.

As I look at my September 2002 QST, I see the following:
1) There is a contest related story thanks to W1WEF.
2) There is a contest write-up and line scores for RTTY Roundup
3) There is a contest write-up and line scores for 10m contest
4) There is a contest write-up for School Club Roundup with scores
5) There is a contest corral department. This is where the other items
mentioned above are also listed (DX, Public Service, QRP, etc).
A quick count shows that the above stories occupy roughly 18 pages of
QST. There are 160 pages in this QST. That means that 11% of this QST
contains contesting info.
Also, as I look back at other recent QST's... I don't see anything that
is now missing or different.
I am generally fairly observant but maybe I missed something?
Perhaps someone could say that if contesting is going to get 1 page in
QST (the department section) is the contest corral the best use of our
one page? But that is a different question/debate.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Small rig - Summary
Message-ID: <00a801c244e7$4d067c40$84abe4d8@bendcable.com>
The purpose of my question was to determine which small 100W rig was best to
take on a DXpedition where all rigs would be fairly close together but all
limited to 100W.
My thanks to all 25 who responded.
The hands down winner was the K2-100. 13 votes and it was not even on the
list. Clearly it is the best in a large signal environment and is a super
rig on CW.
The FT100 and IC706 each got some votes but also as many poor marks for
signal handling and for broadband noise and/or spurious trash on TX.
The best of the three rigs listed in my original inquiry was the TS50,
especially since they can be had on the used market for as little as $350,
and got positive comments in the recent VP8 write-ups.
Single votes were cast for the JST245, IC740, and IC736.
Now all we need is some of those small 20+A switchmode supplies, and we're
ready to fly. Anyone want to offer opinions of these? Alinco, Astron,
MFJ...?

Check out the Samlex America supplies-light in weight, small footprint, no
meters, remove a jumper and it'll run on 240 V and inexpensive to boot.

Here's my $.02 worth. I've had a SAMLEX SEC1223 (20A continuous, 23A ICS) for
almost 3 years. It probably has 1000 hours on it because for a couple of
years I used it to run my FT990 at home and it was turned on 24/7. A couple
of years ago, it was relegated to being the traveling power supply
accompanying the 990 for trips after I acquired my FT1000D. Most recent
contest uses were FDin PR thus year as NP4A where it ran the GOTA station,
and CQ WPX CW 2001 as FO8DX. In the latter case it ran on 220V (well actually
240V) from a generator.
I have nothing but praise for the unit. It's never let me down, even when it
was literally too hot to touch. (High temperatures, high humidity and a high
duty cycle in French Polynesia will do that).
Some RF noise, but above 40M it's tolerable being some 30 to 40 dB down from
the usual signals.
And the best part, it's the cheapest of the bunch at a street price of $99.95

All you need to do is use the column offset variable on the command line.
For example, on my latest NAQP CW Cabrillo log, the following works just
fine:
rate n4gn.cbr rate.txt 25

NA does support the dvp. It can not use nettsr.
With ct an Ethernet switch should work ok with nettsr, but it shouldn't
provide any advantage over a hub or 10base2 coax lan unless you are on a
network that is already congested with other traffic. Also with a hub
or switch you are more likely to have rf problems.

You *can* use QRATE with Cabrillo files.
Just hack out the text at the top and the bottom of the file,
and resave it as say rate.txt, and run the prog. normally. From
memory the time column is at position 25, but do double check
that! Works just fine for me.

QRATE works with any ASCII file, including Cabrillo.
Use a command line like this:
RATE YOURCALL.LOG RATESUMM.TXT 17
Works great!

The September/October issue of NCJ went to the printer on August 9. It
should hit the streets in the first week of September.
This issue includes the first part of a WRTC2002 article, several
articles about contesting activities at Visalia and Dayton, a Beverage
antenna article, a review of DX Atlas, an article about setting up your
PC to easily run old DOS programs along with WINDOWS programs, an
article about the old Connecticut Wireless Association, CQ WW SSB 2001
from D4, and a twin spin on the PA QSO Party. The station profile is
about one of our VE friends, and the people profile is about a
well-known Western Pennsylvania contester. And of course we have our
regular columns.
We're working on more WRTC2002 articles for the Nov/Dec issue, along
with other interesting features. Be sure to visit our web site
(compliments of WA7BNM) at www.ncjweb.com

Accessing this directory will allow you to download the personal
UBN report for your log after the log checking is finished.
Please make sure to store this message in a safe place for

The contest results will be published on the WAEDC Web Site
as follows:

Only 4 months from contest to results, which will be available on their

Subject: [CQ-Contest] What Is a Contact?
Message-ID: <002401c246ce$85faab00$1e7ef3d8@n7df>
I read the World Above 50 MHz column by W3EP in September QST with great
interest.
The practice of so many stations of not sending their call with each contact
has been a sore point with me for some time.
One thing he missed in his write-up is that sending your call with each contact
is actually an FCC requirement.
?97.119 Station identification.
(a) Each amateur station, except a space station or telecommand station, must
transmit its assigned call sign on its transmitting channel at the end of each
communication, and at least every ten minutes during a communication, for the
purpose of clearly making the source of the transmissions from the station
known to those receiving the transmissions. No station may transmit
unidentified communications or signals, or transmit as the station call sign,
any call sign not authorized to the station.
If the contest sponsors were to do their job correctly, they would include this
requirement in the contest rules and disqualify any station that violated it.
Likewise, DXpeditions should be disqualified from accreditation for violation
of the requirement.
What I would like to see is a special group of Official Observers (or their
equivalent) who would monitor contest operations and DXpeditions for violation
of this FCC regulation. If several such observers simultaneously reported
repeated violations then the station should be disqualified.

Hi Dick;
The four (4) pound Astron SS-25 or SS-30 models work well; use a 30 (no
meter model) here for 6M rig & a back up to the 17 year old Tripp-Lite
PR-40 "boat anchor" supply on the floor.
Trust all is well in OR.

Message-ID: <000c01c246f1$43781100$a0484140@delta>
I have used the Samlex SEC1223 and Astron 25 and 30A switchers
on several DXpeditions. I've used them on 240V (the Samlex) and 120V
both on foreign commercial mains and on generators.
I have had a number of failures of the Samlex and a couple on the Astron.
However, I cannot attribute the failures to specific causes except possible
WX and environment exposure to the Astrons (Kingman Reef).
I like the Astrons for their meters which can help sometimes in
troubleshooting (or assurance monitoring) in the field. I had one failure
of the set-screw head of the DC power connector. I'll be interfacing a
RigRunner DC strip stuck on top for distribution (though I dislike their
using the same rated Anderson Powerpole connector for the input
as all the outputs...and wonder about their marketing/sales strategy
of telling people that, "It's okay- they'll handle a lot more current than
the manufacturer rates them at". Can we read, "Sue job". Granted, we
are not likely to have problems in typical amateur usage.
I like the Samlex for the their small size, weight and price. When I
convert them to 240V I put a label outside noting that fact and
cable tie the jumper inside to some adjacent wiring so it won't get
lost and is available.
I would still buy either model but so far have had better luck with the
Astrons. I don't have any experience with other brands other than
the internal switcher supplies that Icom used to sell for the IC751/745,
etc. For awhile those where the only ones available until the Samlex
and another one from Electro Automation? (don't recall the name)
came out.

That may work for stations under fcc jurisdiction, but not all countries
have the same identification requirements. There are also already
plenty of OO's who can send notices about identification problems now.
If you want to spend your contest time policing fcc rules, you are free
to do that and report what ever you find to the contest committees
and/or fcc for action, personally I have better things to do during a
contest.

The Samlec SEC 1223 works well at 20A, is easily switched to 110/230v, and
has no RF noise I can detect. Small, low price, recommended -- I have three
of them.

Actually the rules require identification after each "communication"! IMHO,
a contest is a "continous" communication, and only ends when the advertised
time frame has elapsed? Therefore, "at least every ten minutes during a
communication" is not necessarily efficient, but within ?97.119 Station
identification FCC requirements.

_________________________________________________________
A jailhouse lawyer like myself could have a field day with this
one. Your original question was "What is a contact". I might
ask "What is a communication". Is it an exchange of information
with one station, or with more than one station? I'm sure there
is no shortage of interpretations, but only the FCC's
interpretation counts, and that seems to be lacking.
Looking at the rule as a whole, I believe the correct
interpretation should focus on the last part which states the
purpose of the identification. The FCC wants identification
every ten minutes AND at the time of going QRT. I don't read it
as being needed after each QSO. But hey, I haven't passed my
jailhouse lawyer bar exam either... :-)

Isn't that (one contest=one communication) pushing it a bit?
My understanding is that a 'communication' is a QSO.
According to The FCC Rule Book (ARRL, ISBN: 0-87259-245-6), page 6-4, the
Q&A explains that "legally, you have to ID only at the end of the QSO and at
least once every 10 minutes during the course of a QSO."
I accept the ARRL interpretation of the rule, since it was edited by Richard
Palm, K1CE, and he had a FCC staffer (John Johnston, W3BE) assist with the
editorial production of the book.

I found it. It is SAMLEX, not SAMLEC.
http://www.radiodan.com/misc/samlex1223.htm. Several dealers. The SEC 1223
seems to be priced from $89 to $99. Is one pound lighter than the Astron
SS-25 and much less expensive.

True, but contest sponsors are free to impose any additional rules they
wish, above and beyond FCC rules, and apply them to all participants
regardless of country.
IMHO adding such a rule in all contests would be a good thing. It already
exists in the Sprints and I don't see anyone complaining.
During a DXpedition, it is simply annoying to have to listen to a station
for 5 minutes before he IDs. During a contest, it is exceedingly
discourteous to the callers. At least the ones who are serious participants
in the contest.
=================================================================
"Contest OOs" are another issue. Actually I think that's a good idea too.
Everybody knows there are stations out there doing things they should get
disqualified for, but the chances they *will* get DQ'd are essentially zero.
It would not be easy to implement, especially on CW where anyone skilled
enough to catch violations would probably be participating in the contest.
It might be worth discussing though.

Congratulations to the gang at W5NN for a SUPERB VICTORY once again. This
time in the NAQP SSB M2 category.
The little station that could again comes through beating the Goliaths to
win nationally.
Unfortunately I was personally unable to operate due to other committments,
but the other guys again prove that big money, big towers, and big antennas
do not by themselves insure victory.
What is required for victory no matter where or with what someone operates
is hard work, and the knowledge required for the particular contest.
This is another testimony for all the small contest stations out there to
keep on trying. Victory can be attained with relatively modest stations.
Mike, once again, my hat is off to you. A job well done....an intelligent
contest plan pulled off with perfection. Way to go !!!!
Hey Mike, is your middle name "RODNEY" ?

At what point do we say enough with new rules? If we addressed every little
gripe on this reflector with a new rule, contest announcements would be
about as brief as War and Peace. The periodic reprintings of ARRL General
Rules would bankrupt the League. Serious stations would need to retain
attorneys just to figure it all out. Is that how far we want rulemaking to
go?
Certainly there are some blatant non-identifiers, but most stations that I
hear who don't ID after every QSO (and I think the jury is still out on
whether that really is what the FCC intends to stipulate (not that I need to
give one whit about what the FCC wants, unless I'm operating in the U.S.))
do tend to manage their pileups and their identity very well. My experience
in 20 years of contesting suggests the people like W9WI refers to are in the
vast minority.
If you tune across someone who isn't ID-ing as frequently as you would like,
it is likely because he knows that the people who were already in the pileup
know who he is. His failure to ID is possibly in some way a bonus to the
stations who got there first. It may be discourteous to the folk who are
newly tuned in, but it's not discourteous to those already calling.
But if you intend to be efficient about S&Ping, you should NOT be sitting
there long enough to get frustrated by his lack of IDs! Tune on, come back
later, dial him into a Quick Memory, plot him on your bandmap. BUT KEEP
WORKING STATIONS. Contests (like life) are too short to get your coax in a
knot over stuff like this. It only hurts your rate. If you can't work him
because he doesn't identify enough, DON'T! Don't let something like this let
you take your eye off the ball. Chances are by the time he does ID, he'll
just end up being the umpteenth zone 13 station you've worked anyway..
The worst thing you can do is be one of the loudmouth louts who yells
"WHAT'S YOUR CALL?" You're just interfering with those who already CAN work
the guy, and the law is quite clear on the legality of premeditated
interference. These folks are also hypocrites of the highest order, since
they don't include their callsign in their missive. Perhaps we need a rule
about that, too.
Sprints are unique, and require unique rules, because of the QSY rule. In
contests that actually allow running, the need for a rule about IDing is
less evident. If you don't like how someone is operating, don't work him.
Vote with your feet. Unless it's SS and the offending station is in VO1 or
VE8, there will be other mults, certainly there will be enough rate to make
up for it. But if enough people vote as you do, the other station will run
out of people to work and be forced to re-evaluate his operating technique.
You may believe that in the U.S., the quoted FCC regulation makes not IDing
after every Q against the law. I remain to be convinced. But even if it is,
remember, jaywalking is also illegal. In some places, chewing gum in a
public place is illegal. So is, in some areas, backing out of a front
driveway. But you know what, the world doesn't grind to a halt over any of
this stuff. The key here is perspective.

Yessirreebob. There's nothing like poor operating practices (the
hypocrites) piled on poor operating practices (the no-ID'ing station) to
make it a fun pileup.
Some/many/most of those asking his call may also be those who could and did
work the guy...but, then asked the question over and over and over again
because they don't know his callsign either!
I like the idea of all contests having a simple rule requiring both calls
within a QSO.
Seems to me to be more efficient for all concerned.

My attitude is exactly the same. I either skip working the station that does
not ID or just call him and when/if he comes back give him 59001 and ask him
his call sign.
That cost him few extra seconds to give the call sign and few more to make
sure I got it. If I do not get the call sign he is not in my log and will
loose points for two more QSO. If he does not meet my demand for his call
sign and does not put me into his log - he has still lost some valuable
time. It always works well. If every third station that gets through starts
asking his call he quickly gets the message.

<C97F028E8BEBD111A52E00805FE67BAF0A71BD19@usintex16lax.udh.unistudios.com>
QST did a review of several switching power supplies in the January 2000 issue.
The SS-30M had the "cleanest" DC trace with less than 20mVpp ripple and no
detectable switching spikes while the Samlex 1223 showed less than 30mVpp
ripple but 600mVpp switching spikes. Broadband noise is also 10 to 25db higher
on the Samlex supply. Surprisingly enough, the MFJ unit looks like it has the
lowest spectral noise of all the supplies tested! Spectral plots and trace
displays are in the report. You can download it from the ARRL site in the
members-only section. It's about 670K in size because it includes other
product reviews.
I've confirmed on my TS-850S/AT that you can hear the switching noise. At
Field Day 2001, we used a couple of Samlex 1223 supplies and my '850 would pick
up a 3 S-unit "bump" in the noise floor every few dozen kHertz on most HF
bands. The noise completely disappeared when we turned off the switchers and
used battery power. Although my '850 heard the noise, we weren't able to
detect it on 6 or 2 meters with a TM-255A 2M radio (with TenTec 1209
transverter for 6M). Nor was the noise discernable on Oak Hills or NorCal QRP
HF rigs (the '850 is known to have a VERY sensitive receiver!). I recently
purchased a Astron SS-30M, but haven't had time to test it yet with the same
'850. If anyone's interested, I'll hook it up sometime soon at home and post
results.

Message-ID: <d2.1cc9e3f5.2a93f994@aol.com>
The 2002 Ohio QSO Party will be this Saturday, August 24, from 16Z (noon EDT)
to 04Z Sunday (Midnight EDT).
Full details are at the OQP Web site, www.mrrc.net/oqp
Several items of note:
This year we have added an out of state club competition. No great prizes,
but include your club name with your log and contribute to the glory of your
club.
Several logging programs have added OQP support. Writelog now has a module,
courtesy of Steve, N9OH, which is available at:
<A
HREF="http://www.xnet.com/~sjwoodr/ham/modules";>http://www.xnet.com/~sjwoodr/ham/modules</A>
Free logging programs which support OQP include GenLog by W3KM, N1MM, and a
special demo version of NA. Links to all of these are available at the OQP
web site.
To promote high band activity, folks are encouraged to check 10 meters on the
hour of even GMT/EDT hours. If 15 meter conditions are like this past
weekend in NAQP, check 15 early and often. If the band seems to be in the
dumps, check it anyway on the hour of odd GMT/EDT hours. Keep in mind that
E-skip propagation can occur at any hour of this contest, so keep checking.
The Ohio QSO Party includes big activity from one of the biggest states, and
one of the best crew of mobile contesters of any state QSO party. We hope
you'll join us on Saturday!

Message-ID: <006b01c248d0$243a6780$d8840ec3@shack1>
I love my TS870 which is a great radio but which because of its lack of band
data to control antenna and filter switching has been relegated to secondary
use in favour of two FT1000MPs in my SO2R set-up. I did use the 870 for a
while with band data generated by the logging computer but I didn't find
that too satisfactory. The problem being that if the computer crashed band
data was lost and the 870 was potentially exposed to front end damage when
band pass filters etc dropped out of circuit.
Yesterday, I decided to see if I could find a way of modifying my 870 to
provide the band data output it lacked. I found it to be remarkably easy to
achieve but not as 4-bit parallel band data (Yaesu) rather as direct decoded
band data the like of which a band decoder connected to a Yaesu rig would
provide. It seems to me this is a way better deal. I don't need an
external band decoder for the 870. It will now directly switch my Array
Solutions Six Pack and my Dunestar band-pass filters.
If anyone wishes their 870 could do this I am happy to provide details of
this relatively simple mod.
73 and good contesting.

Is a rule necessary? Maybe not. Obviously there are many on the reflector
who feel not. There is definitely considerable sentiment among the
operators I know that failure to ID frequently is a serious problem. This
view is largely expressed by the "little pistols", the folks who spend most
or all of the contest S&P.
Obviously the FCC does not consider this a serious issue even if they do
feel their rules require an ID with each QSO. Really I don't think this
issue should be one for governments to be involved in. Certainly
participants in a round-table or traffic net don't need to be forced to ID
every time they stop transmitting.
But they aren't in a hurry either - nothing is lost if a would-be new
participant has to wait around a few minutes to find out who he's listening
to. We're different.
> Chances are by the time he does ID, he'll just end up being the umpteenth
> zone 13 station you've worked anyway..
Very true. It's the possibility he might be that South Sandwich station
nobody expected to show up, and the fear I might pass him up because I
thought it was LU6XXX who I'd already worked and who only IDd every 5
minutes.
Anyway, I have developed a strategy for dealing with this. I'm not going to
take my chances that the non-IDing station might be a needed mult. (or even
needed QSO) If I hear someone running, and I don't know, by hearing his
call, that he's a dupe, I'm going to call him. (no, I'm not going to
jeopardize my rate by continuing to call if he doesn't come back reasonably
quickly) If, when he comes back to me, he hasn't given his call, I'm going
to ask him for it.
(I'm of mixed mind regarding what to do if, after asking for his call, he
still fails to ID. One option is to keep asking him, stepping on other
callers if necessary, until he IDs. The other is to scratch the QSO. On
the one hand, that gives him a NIL - on the other since it's probably going
to flag as a dupe on his end, it's not going to hurt him significantly.)
Would you, in the NAQP, call "CQ NA", and then insist on exchanging RST,
rig, weather, and occupation before you give your name and QTH? Of course
not; that would be an amazingly discourteous attempt to have a good time at
the expense of your fellow competitors. Intentionally failing to ID
frequently isn't quite as blatant but IMHO it's a similar behavior.

All--
This note it to give all of you a brief update on one of our favorite
subjects--CQ WW trophies. Here you go:
* All 2000 plaques have been produced and shipped. If you haven't received
yours, you will shortly.
* All requests for replacement awards that I have received have also been
produced and shipped. If you have not received an old award, now would be a
great time to let me know and I'll take care of it.
* The 2001 SSB plaques have already been ordered and should be available for
shipment in about 30 days. (thanks to K8DX for his assistance). The CW group
is right behind.
In addition, I have received numerous requests for duplicate awards, usually
multi-operations wanting plaques for each operator or a guest op wishing to
give an award to his host. If you are interested, the cost for each award is
$50. Send your request to me along with payment to: John Dorr, K1AR, 2
Mitchell Pond Road, Windham, NH 03087. I have my engraver a little
overwhelmed right now (she's processing nearly 200 plaques for me), so I
would guess the lead-time on these orders will be about 60 days.
We're making progress, guys. Thanks for your patience.

I just noticed that Icom is apparently a sponsor (of plaques
awarded to winners) of the North American QSO Party. Is this
the first instance of major ham radio company doing this sort of
thing to directly support contesting? I know Icom and Yaesu and
others have spent a lot to support DXing, but I haven't seen much
support for contesting before:

The Top Of Europe Contesters (TOEC) hereby has the pleasure to invite all
amateur radio stations world wide to participate in the TOEC WW GRID CONTEST.
The aim of the contest is to boost the interest for "Grid hunting" on the HF
bands, and to introduce a contest where it is more important to copy the QSO
message than in most other similar events.
Contest event:
CW: August 24 - 25, 2002
Saturday 1200 UTC - Sunday 1200 UTC
Exchange:
RST + Grid Field/Square identifier, i.e. 599 JP73 (two letters (Grid Field) +
two figures (Grid Square)).
Multipliers:
Each Grid Field (JP, KO, EM etc.) worked gives 1 multiplier per band.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Re: TS870 Band data output
Message-ID: <003f01c249a0$0271c280$159c0ec3@shack1>
A number of people have responded to my mailing requesting further details.
A few others responded pointing me to
www.dk9ip.de/DK9IPprojects/DK9IPdecod/dk9ipdecod.html and to
www.qsl.net/k0bx/ where information can be found on a similar mod for the
TS850. I guess this just goes to show that most things in life have already
been done! You just need to know where to find the details!
For those that asked I will describe the mod I have done. A look at the
above URLs will also be worthwhile.
My initial idea was to try to find a source of 4-bit parralel band data
(Yaesu style) within the 870. It doesn't exist as the 870 ships band data
around inside the radio in serial form. Of course this data has to be
decoded for the purpose of switching the selector relays in the Final filter
circuit. This job is done by IC1 on the Final filter board (TC9174F).
What I decided to do was to bring out 6 buffered switching lines for the six
HF contest bands to facilitate automatic switching of my Array Solutions Six
Pack and my six band Dunestars. I don't need lines for 30/17/12m but these
can be available for anyone that does.
I mounted a piece of .1 inch pitch strip board about 3/4 inch square on a
DB9 female connector. I did this by wedging the edge of the strip board
between the two horizontal sets of pins on the DB9 such that pins 1-5 of the
DB9 lined up on the centre 5 tracks of the 7 track wide strip board. Pins
1-5 were then soldered to the board. Pins 6 & 9 were wired with short wire
links to tracks at either edge of the board. I connected 6 npn switching
transistor collectors, one to each of pins 1-6 of the DB9 and all six
emitters were taken to ground. The bases of each of the transistors were
taken via a 5k6 1/4W resistor towards the back edge of the strip board to
which I attached a piece of ribbon cable.
I connected the other end of the ribbon cable to the collectors of Q10, 11,
12, 14, 15, 16 on the foil side of the Final filter board which can be
located top centre of the radio under a removable metal plate. The filter
board must be removed to make the connections. Connection is relatively
easy as Kenwood have located spare pads close and connected to the
collectors of these devices. In order to make the mod neat I didn't worry
about which of pins 1-6 on the DB9 related to which band. It turned out in
my case to be 1=20, 2=160, 3=80, 4=15, 5-40 & 6=10m. I used BC337
transistors which are good for switching up to 45V at close to an amp.
I removed the external auto ATU connector, which for me is redundant and
mounted my DB9 in its place. Anyone not wishing to remove this could
possibly feed the ribbon cable out at the back just under the case top.
I claim no rocket science here. This is just a simple mod that solves what
for me has been a significant shortcoming in the use of my Kenwood TS870 for
contesting. I pass it on to you for what it is worth.
73 and good contesting

Anyone knows what happened to LogPlus ? Used to be one of the best DOS
logging programs, then it was gone but it finally came back last year (
or early this year) with the announcement of Windows version. The
original site was www.logplus.com, then after the comeback it was on
logplus.org, but now it's gone again. Any info ?

Icom was a major supporter of WRTC '96, though I don't know what they may
have done for 2000 or 2002. In the beginning of our fund-raising efforts,
we were having a terrible time getting anyone in the industry to do anything
besides laugh at us and tell us how terrible the times were. Only HRO was
willing to help, kicking in a $10K donation to get us started. Then Icom
America got creative and donated a bunch of radios which we were able to
sell to raise funds. (By donating equipment instead of cash, they were able
to get around the watchful eyes of their JA overlords.) I don't recall
Yaesu's response to our requests, but I do remember Kenwood laughing us
right out of the room. I'm not a fan of Icom radios, since they can't ever
seem to get their CW output waveform right. But they have been a very good
corporate citizen in supporting the contest community

30 responses received. No pattern. Astron, MFJ and Sanlex all equal.
Everyone who has tried the small light 20/23A switches likes them for what
they are - small and light. They are usually not noisy -- several folks
said they are used in MM stations with no troubles.
One only thing they apparently do not like is power outages - over/under
supply. several comments on breaking them on island trips when the local
power dumped.
Thanks to all who replied.

Message-ID: <8d.1d123d10.2a96f160@aol.com>
Ah, the joys of living in Florida...another lightning hit. It looks like the
main xcvr, an Icom 775 is toast. The other 775 was not in line so it looks
like it is clean.
Insurance will be buying a new transceiver and since the 775 is approximately
the same price, if not more than the 756 Pro and the FT 1000MP5, it looks
like decision time. I loved the 775 and am tempted to get another. The
reliability and simplicity of use are great. I have also heard very nice
things about the 756 and the 1000.
I am primarily a phone contester and like the fact that both the 775 and the
1000 put out more than 100 watts which is handy for contests with the 150
watt limit. I do operate some CW and plan on doing more in the future but my
main love is SSB contests.
Some of the review posts suggest quality control is more of an issue with
Yaesu than Icom. More trips back to the shop, but some suggest the 1000 is
the ultimate rig.
My question is this: knowing what my operating habits are, if you were in my
shoes and price were no object, which of the three would you purchase and
why. Also which of the stock filters would you recomnmend. You can either
send the suggestions and critiques to me or post them. I am not trying to
start a war of Icom vs Yaesu, only to get a feeling from the community about
the pros and cons of each. .This should be interesting.
Thanks for the help.

Hey Bill,
There are a lot of super nifty radios out there. The most obvious
issue, to me, is similarity between your two radios. Personally,
I have minor problems moving between an MP and an MP MkV.
Many of the important push buttons are in different places, and
the DSP works on one radio and it's dog poo on the other.
If you are sufficiently mental agile, how about the new
Ten Tec, (Orion?) as the second radio? Amazing specs,
but no user reports yet.
Or, if you're really brave, how about the Elecraft K2 with
the 100W (and several other) additions. Mine has been on
loan far more than it has been here, but I fell in love with
it (at the five watt level) in the few hours that I've been
able to use it. Check it out. Would you FEEL competitive
with your rig about the same size as a big 2M box?
Neat problem you have. I look fwd to reading other
replies.

10. State Map of Ohio, takes two to hold the map. Please don't do this while
calling cq or driving.
9. Radar detector for detecting highway patrolman. If pulled over still can use
excuse, "I am lost on my way to Dayton"
8. Rolls of Quarters. Good for paying the toll at the toll gate of the Ohio
Turnpike. "Also good for flipping to see who gets to ride shotgun"
7. Copy of OQP rules. can be also used if you run out of toilet paper cause you
are im-between exits. Remember to read them first.
6. Lemon Diet coke but remember to throw away the cans. Not good for anything
except making a large vertical antenna. use your imagination.
5. AAA Touring guide of Ohio. You can use pages not used for extra TP or
something to even out your mobile rig. but if you do get lost there is another
map incase your large state map blew out the window.
4. Book of Ohio restaurants, list will include Cracker Barrel, Arby's,Wendy's
Cracker Barrel, Bill Knapp's (now closed), oh yeah did I say Cracker Barrel?
Remember you can get a discount if you show your last years OQP log thanks to
K8MR.
3. Binoculars, good for making extra points in OQP. paragraph 4.2 seen in
rules says your get 3 points for making eye contact with a durgible. the list
contains such well knows as the Goodyear, Budweiser, and any other UFO that you
can identify correctly.
2. Amish cook book makes good reading material while im-between QSO's and
driving behind horse and buggy.
1. teleohone number to K8MR's incase you get lost.
good luck,73

Message-ID: <4.2.0.58.20020822233311.0099b640@mail.comcast.net>
Bill,
Dayton 1995. There I was, owner of two IC-765s which I was very pleased
with, and wrestling with the exact same decision as you. IC-775 or
FT-1000D? W8WD and I must have walked between the ICOM and Yaesu booths a
half dozen times.
My decision was compounded by the fact that I harbored an active dislike
for Yaesu radios. I owned (and still own) a FT-107M (the WHITE radio) with
which I won the 1984 ARRL ARRL DX CW from HR1DAP. Still, every other Yaesu
HF radio I used struck me as rather odd: FT-101s (any version), the FT-102
and any model of the FT-7x7 family. I harbored a secret fondness for the
FT-ONE which I got to use at N5AU in the 1982 CQWW, but it still had its
oddities and a huge price tag to boot.
I walked out of Dayton 1995 with a brand new FT-1000D. In the seven years
since I've acquired four more used ones ("Ya got a used FT-1000D for sale,
call K8CC - he'll buy it" :-)). Another FT-1000D is a long term guest in
the shack, courtesy of a friend on assignment in DL-land. This past
January I bought a used FT-1000MP from AES to see if I was missing
anything. Multi-multis consume lots of radios...
When I sit down to single op, the FT-1000D is radio I get behind. Compared
to my IC-765s, its a much better SSB radio which is what I was looking to
improve. The SSB crystal filtering of that era (dual 2.7 KHz filters
yielding a -6dB bandwidth of 2.4 KHz) was not narrow enough. The IC-775
struck me as a DSP wrapped around the back end of a IC-765.
I am a big fan of "simple to operate". In this regard, the FT-1000D is
better than the FT-1000MP, although I've gotten used to it by now. The
TS-950SDX IMO was the worst in this regard - lots of little knobs with
medium gray legends which were difficult to read.
K6KM makes an excellent point - if you're going to do SO2R, you really need
two radios of the same model. I did 1991 SS with one IC-765 and one
IC-761. Same front panels, but different controls in different spots. The
same condition exists between the FT-1000MP and MKV/Field.
So there are a few data points to consider. If all you can do is replace
the blasted radio, I'd get another IC-775. If you want simple to use,
150W+ and competitive capabilities, I'd sell the IC-775 and get two FT-1000Ds.
FWIW

Another option, which I use:
One FT-1000D and one FT-990. A used FT-990 can be had for under
$1K. It is basically the same radio as the 1000D, with an almost
identical layout. It doesn't have a second receiver, which is really
unnecessary in SO2R (unless you like listening to 4 receivers during a
contest!)

Bill:
Sorry about your rig.
Seems like it will help you a lot to answer two questions:
how important is it to have two easy to use rcvers operatable
simultaneously?
and, would you prefer to be able to shift rx/tx from ant1 to ant2
on the front panel, or would you rather be able to use ant2 for subrcvr
diversity reception?
I have the FT1000Mk5 which I like a lot for the 2 rcvrs and the ability to
push a front panel button to switch between rx+tx on either ant1 or ant2.
My FT1000D doesn't let you do that since ant2 is never a tx antenna. But
it does let you use the subrcvr to simultanteously listen on the second
antenna - really neat when you've got a horizontally opposed ant plugged
in ant1 and a vertical on ant2. If it matters to you, the 1000D looks and
feels like the most quality piece of equipment I've ever owned.
Happy to be corrected by others out there who have more experience with
these rigs,

Subject: [CQ-Contest] ICOM 775 vs ICOM 756 PRO 2 vs YAESU FT
1000 MP5
Ah, the joys of living in Florida...another lightning hit. It looks like
the
main xcvr, an Icom 775 is toast. The other 775 was not in line so it
looks
like it is clean.
Insurance will be buying a new transceiver and since the 775 is
approximately
the same price, if not more than the 756 Pro and the FT 1000MP5, it looks
like decision time. I loved the 775 and am tempted to get another. The
reliability and simplicity of use are great. I have also heard very nice
things about the 756 and the 1000.
I am primarily a phone contester and like the fact that both the 775 and
the
1000 put out more than 100 watts which is handy for contests with the 150
watt limit. I do operate some CW and plan on doing more in the future but
my
main love is SSB contests.
Some of the review posts suggest quality control is more of an issue with
Yaesu than Icom. More trips back to the shop, but some suggest the 1000
is
the ultimate rig.
My question is this: knowing what my operating habits are, if you were in
my
shoes and price were no object, which of the three would you purchase and
why. Also which of the stock filters would you recomnmend. You can either
send the suggestions and critiques to me or post them. I am not trying to
start a war of Icom vs Yaesu, only to get a feeling from the community
about
the pros and cons of each. .This should be interesting.
Thanks for the help.

The basic point is this.
** Don't worry if the OTHER station is playing by
the FCC rules (assuming that station is under the
FCC's jurisdiction) just make sure that YOU are
following the rules as best YOU know how for your
OWN station **
I'm not responsible for any other station's
operations so I don't give a burnt out 6146 if
they ID at the end or not. If I get their calland
exchange and I'm following the rules as best I
can and they don't.. NOT MY PROBLEM! **
just 1 ham's opinion..

Message-ID: <46.2c8982e0.2a985be7@aol.com>
Thanks to all who posted on this topic. I hope I responded individually to
each of you. If I didn't, my apologies to you.
OK, it looks like if the 775 is toast when it arrives at the the repair site,
it will probably be replaced by a 1000MP V. After looking at the review in
QST and hearing the good things about it from you guys, I think it is a no
lose situation. If I like the other 775 I have which was not zapped better
than the 1000 the 775 will become the run radio. If I like the 1000 better,
the 775 will stay the S/P radio and the 1000 will be the main radio. I have
operated two different radios before and it has not been a problem. If it
becomes one, the rig I am least happy with will be replaced with a twin of
the other.
Here's the question. What set of filters would you guys recommend for SSB
and which set for CW? Most of my operation is in contests, and I have no
desire to fire up on any of the digital modes, RTTY etc.
Thanks again for the help guys.

12 years have past since I had my own station to operate....been on contest
DXpeditions and some multi-op since. Now I am building my own shack. My
Geochron arrived 2 days ago. My two FT-1000D's are still in their boxes (I
had the first one at KH3 and loved it, so I got the other and have never
used it). I have been gathering SO2R e-mails over the past 6 years so I can
make up the rest of the station. Now I will need to select the antenna
switching hardware and computer programs to go along with them. I have
always preferred TR over CT, simply because of my fear of the windows
environment causing crashing and the subtle flexibility Tree had vision to
include early in the game. I found a $50 used 486 computer just for keying
the radio. I picked up a Heil boom mike/headset at WRTC 2002 and hope to
have enough aluminum up to be on in time for SS.
Hope to CU on.
Thanks for your summary. It confirms I am heading in the right direction.
73,
Pete

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Looking for DXpedition logs with more than 10.000 QSO's
Message-ID: <025301c24b58$494e03d0$6401892c@amd1900>
Hello all,
I'm currently working together with K4UVT on a DXpedition Statistical
Log Analysis software called LogStat. This software reads an ADIF
DXpedition log and creates graphs on which operating strategy could be
changed. It will clearly show you what mode, band and continents needs
more attention, it also shows if the number of QSO's in a specific mode
goes down like RTTY or PSK so you know you have worked most of them and
can spent more time on other modes and bands.
An example based on our logs of last years DXpedition can be found on:
http://www.qsl.net/lldxt/j7_vp2m_2002/statistics-j7.html
What I want to ask you is to mail me a zipped ADIF file of one of your
DXpeditions (only > 10.000 QSO's, can be multiple callsigns), in return
I will mail you the statistical graphs. The reason of asking you this is
to test the software with "real" logs so we know if it can handle all
formats. Of course I will keep the logs confidential for my selves only.
Later this year the software will become available to all of you.
Hope to hear soon from you,

Message-ID: <1bb.551befb.2a98cf56@aol.com>
Yes, it's ZERO days to the Ohio QSO Party!
The fun starts today at 16Z (noon EDT), and goes 12 hours until 04Z Sunday.
Suggested frequencies are 45 KHz above the bottom on CW, and 3850, 7225,
14250, 21300, and 28450 on SSB.
Exchange serial number and county (OH) or state, province (VE), or "DX".
Full details are at www.mrrc.net/oqp
QSO Parties like these are greatly impacted by their mobile operations. We
will have six such operations by experienced contesters: AF8A (+W8AV), K8CC
(+W8MJ), K8MR, NY4N, W1NN, and WT9U. Just between these mobiles all 88
counties will be activated. Add in lots of home, portable, and other mobile
operations and you can count on a great contest with lots of activity.
See you soon in the OQP!

Well, if you happen to be the World #1 in your category and then you
find out to be classified into the wrong category where you are 137th or
so, you wouldn't call it accuracy, would you.
What CQ WW Contest organizers MUST MUST MUST do is to publish claimed
scores on the web, just like Steve N8BJQ does for WPX contest. That
would help to avoid a lot of disappointment for some.

Icom provided brand-new IC765 and IC735 radios for each station in the
original WRTC in Seattle in 1990. I remember being very impressed
with the IC765, and regret not having brought one back with me at the
very advantageous price that was on offer.
Icom provided us with brand-new IC756PROII and IC7400 (also known
as IC746PRO) on loan to the GB50 Jubilee station, and the rigs worked
flawlessly.
It seems to me that both Yaesu and Icom have gone crazy with their
rig naming conventions. IC756PROII, FT1000MP MK-V Field. Yuk.
Only Kenwood have stayed with a more sensible choice of identifier
for their rigs, unfortuntately in the area where it matters - performance
- Kenwood seem to have lost the plot. Will be interested to hear what
contesters think of the Ten-Tec Orion when it hits the streets. At
present if I had to get a new radio it would be the K2/100.

I got to see the new Ten Tec Orion for the first time at the Boxboro
convention this weekend. It looks like a nice package - especially if you
like black! The look is kind of a cross between an Icom and a TenTec.
Word is that the original production run is sold out. Second run is
expected some time before Christmas.
This radio reflects a new concept in radio design. The hardware is a
platform with user interface (knobs, dials, display) and RF. The real
features will be enabled through software. Assuming they have a strong
platform (the specs look good), the innovation and possibilities will come
from software. Too early to tell if the Ten Tec engineering team is up for
that challenge, but assuming the software can be upgraded in the field, the
potential for continuous improvement is intriguing.
Given the expected product availability, you have some time to think about
it and wait for some of the early user comments.

The "marketing liar" who wrote the text that appears on the Ten-Tec
web site regarding the new Orion HF transceiver is rumored to know
a thing or two about high-end receiver performance. I hear he even
gets on for the occasional CW contest. Unconfirmed at this hour...

George,
Great to hear back from you...sounds like fun..
Anyway, this online soapbox is the most exiting thing Ive seen from the
arrl in years..
If cq would do something like this it would add a new dimension to
contesting...
Just imagine getting all the soapbox commentaries that bring back the
memories of the contest and immediate information including photos of
the stations... this is fun all year long.. KUDOS to the arrl for this
effort...
Felipe

Most of the islands you've listed are owned by other countries and would
fly the flag of the parent country. The CIA World Fact Book might be a
good place to look.

Excellent group of programs. Not only do you get the Log Checker, you
also get a Cabrillo converter that converts just about any kind of log to
Cabrillo
and a Master Call database maintenance program which I use to maintain a very
large database for RTTY. Master call files can be converted for WriteLog, WF1B
or CT and I'm sure some of the others.

Lee, I use the WT4I contest tools, and I find them to be quite useful for
finding anomolies in Cabrillo files. For example, you can quickly and easily
find RST errors, Zone errors, Band errors, etc. There is a feature for using
master.dta, but I have never really every figured out how to use this,
however.
For me WT4I tools was worth the money.

I went out and traded my TS-570 for a TS-850. I feel as though I have left the
computer age for the stone age. So here are some questions.
1. only have one antenna post I have two antennas comming in there is only one
but I see this recieve antenna mod. Is that just for recieve or can you
transmit on it?
2. To have this hook into computer for like dxbase and have the vfo band and
mode switched auto matically then what can I use. there is no rs232 port so how
do you go about hooking it up then is there a box to buy or what?
3. keying with a contest program what can I use to do this with I have rig
blaster will that do the trick?
any other useful hints will be usefull thanks much.

Kenwood made an interface called the IF232C, but I recommend you build your

Check out the W1WEF parallel port interface. It works great and works with

Sean, although you may feel like you stepped
backwards, you actually took a big step forward
in comparing a 570 to an 850 as a contest rig.
I've had both. To connect to a pc for rig control,
there are several choices you can make. You
can build your own, or guys like W1GEE sells
them for about 40 bucks. Just do a search on
W1GEE and it will show his site. Same thing
goes for the cw keying. You can build a serial
interface with directions that usually come with
your logging software, or purchase interfaces
such as sold on the TRLog web site made by
W1WEF. There are 3 models that range from
$25 or so to around $50. In an actual contest,
I think you'll find the 850 is much better in
handling the QRM then the 570. For CW use,
I had 2 400 hz Inrad filters in mine, and it worked
well. On the antenna part, I've never used
seperate antennas for transmit and receive,
so I'm not much help there, but I have seen the
mod, so it can be done. Hang in there, because
you DID make the right decision.

Once you use your 850 in a contest, you'll wonder why you said what you said
here. This is especially true if you install good filters in both IF's.
The receive antenna mod allows you to connect seperate receive antennas.
N3OC's (nee WA3WJD) mod is excellent to do this. The single SO-239 is for
transmitting. Use an external antena switch.
For computer interfacing, you need a Kenwood IF-232C level convertor or
equivalent to change from the TTL levels on the radio to RS-232. Then, it's
equivalent to the 570 as far as computer control.
You can use a rig blaster with the 850 just like you would with the 570. You
may want to consider using a simple LPT port or serial port interface for
sending CW. They can be built for a few dollars, or you can buy them from many
sources - W1WEF makes an excellent one.
The 850 has less bells and whistles than the 570, but can out-perform it
easily. Invest in some good filters for it. If you close your eyes and
listen, you won't be able to tell you're not using one of the latest
multi-kilobuck radios.

Does anyone but me find it annoying that we have to purchase
software that should be furnished free by the ARRL? The League
foisted the Cabrillo requirements on us without much input from
the membership. IMO, the League should buy the tools from WT4I
at some reasonable price and distribute them free to anyone who

Message-ID: <721D3436A7C2B344A301FD4A413C71A92993CC@kosh.ARRLHQ.ORG>
After many years of service, were are retiring our old style landscape-format
(horizontal) certificates and replacing them with sleek, sharp portrait-style
(vertical) designs. The changeover has meant delivery delays, however.
To those awaiting certificates for several ARRL-sponsored operating events,
please stand by. The basic artwork has been approved, and the Graphics
Department is hard at work tweaking the final design and layout for the
certificates.
We anticipate having the new certificates on hand, ready for labeling and
mailing by the Contest Branch by mid-October. The new-style certificates will
be used for all ARRL-sponsored HF and international events starting with the
certificates for the 2001 ARRL 160 Meter Contest. New VHF/UHF certificates will
debut with the 2002 June VHF QSO party. New ARRL November Sweepstakes
certificates will be issued for the first time for the 2002 events.
In addition to the new certificates, we are also replacing the old-style ARRL
June VHF QSO Party plaque with a more modern design. The artwork was selected
from dozens of photos submitted by members and will feature a spectacular
mountain sunrise from a rover's perspective. The new June plaques also are
expected to be available by mid-fall.
Thanks for your patience. If you have questions, please contact me at

I think that log checking is a huge volunteer effort. Common standard
format log files help the volunteers. This is the reason for the
Cabrillo file requirement. Should ARRL, in other words its members,
pay for this or should the contesters bear some cost in making the log
checking easy? On the surface, it seems to me that the contesters
should bear the burden of making the volunteers' job easier.
The one argument that can be made against such a requirement, is that
it makes it harder for a casual contester to participate *and* send in
the logs. This is somewhat ameliorated by the fact that most
electronic log programs generate some form of Cabrillo logs, and ARRL
does not require Cabrillo format submission for contesters who log on
paper.
Just another opinion.

Rajiv, N2RD

Here are my comments:
WT4I Tools software is not required in in order to create a Cabrillo
compliant log. That is the responsibility of the contest participant, and
most if not all of us, depend on our logging software - TR, WL, CT, etc. - to
generate the Cabrillo format correctly. WT4I Tools is an optional aide to be
used in ensuring, but only to a degree, that contact information is logged
correctly.
The contest sponsors, in this case the ARRL, has established - with the help
of very accomplished contesters - a standard format in which logs should be
submitted. That is Cabrillo. The benefit, of course, in having such a
standardized format is in the efficiency gained by automating the processing
of hundreds or thousands of logs.
You are questioning why the ARRL does not provide free of charge to the
contest community the WT4I Tools software. Your argument seems to be that
the League has adopted the Cabrillo standard and, therefore, should provide
software to edit the content of a Cabrillo file. Following that logic, you
could also argue that the League should provide free of charge the contest
logging software - TR, WL, CT, etc.- that generates the Cabrillo files.
Carrying the thread further - why not have the League provide free of charge
the equipment required to operate the contests to provide the contacts to
capture in the software to generate logs in the standardized format? (...she
swallowed a fly...). I think that you can begin to see the ridiculousness of
this logic.
Here is the Bottom Line in my way of thinking: The contest sponsor has the
responsibility of setting the rules (and standards) of the contest,
advertising the contest, evaluating and publicizing the results and awarding
the prizes. Everything else - including all costs of participation and
compliance with the rules - are are the responsibility of the contestants.
IMHO.

Checkout N6TR's website at http://n6tr.jzap.com/850repair.html .
It has alot of useful info on mods/repairs etc... Gee if guys like
N6TR, K6LL, etc.. are using TS-850 's that can't be all that bad.
Also, MFJ makes a computer interface cable (MFJ-5383) that's alot
cheaper then the Kenwood RS-232 interface box. I think it costs around
$20. I have had an 850 for years - with both the 1st/2nd IF CW filters
and it has worked great !!! I have only used a 570 one time (at W4AN's)
for CQ WPX CW so don't have much experience with it. Have fun....

In a word, yes.
Did you find it annoying that back in The Old Days[tm] the ARRL
required you to use offical ARRL contest summary sheets and log sheets
and to submit an Op Aid 6 dupe sheet with your log?
Did you find it annoying that you had to send an SASE to Newington to
request copies of these official forms?
Did you find it annoying that the ARRL didn't provide postage-paid
envelopes for you to submit your contest logs?
Did you find it annoying that the ARRL didn't provide you with a
voucher to use at Kinko's to make copies of your logs?
Did you find it annoying that the post office charged you extra money
if you wanted to send your log via certified mail with return receipt
requested?
Now ask yourself all those same questions and substitute CQ for ARRL.
Now consider a budget for paper log submission, rounding off to whole
dollars to make things easy:
$1 SASE snail mailed to Newington to request forms
$1 Kinko's charge before the contest for copying one blank
summary sheet, the blank Op Aid 6 (two sides), and 10 blank
log sheets
$1 Kinko's charge after the contest for copying one prepared
summary sheet, the used Op Aid 6 (two sides), and 10 used
log sheets
$1 Log packet snail mailed to Newington
$4 Certified mail with return receipt (optional)
$??? Cost of your personal time, wear and tear on your car, etc
So using paper logs it's gonna cost you about $3-4 out of pocket every
time you get on and operate a contest and work 500 guys, unless you
splurge and send it certified USPS. Or you can send it in a FedEx
overnight letter for $10.
You can buy WT4I's Cabrillo Converter for $20, or you can download and
use KA5WSS's LogConv program for FREE.
I didn't include in the budget the cost of radios, amplifiers,
feedlines, antennas, headphones, power strips, ground rods, a desk for
your shack, a chair, a lamp, electricity, logging software, nor the
ISP charges you would spend submitting your log (or writing messages
to cq-contest!) because you have already paid for these things whether
or not your submit a log. You break even on a $20 Cabrillo converter
after about six contests. LogConv is a spectacular deal for the
price.
There is nothing new under the sun. The bottom line is that for
30/40/50? years there have been established procedures for submitting
contest logs. Today in 2002 there are still established procedures
for submitting contest logs -- only the details have changed.
A few years ago I predicted that "10 years from now people will look
back and laugh at all moaning that took place as contest log submittal
procedures were revised to include electronic logs."
Today I have a new prediction: "We will not have to wait 10 years."

I can only echo most comments sent so far plus:
though we use FT-1000D, FT1000MPs here, we always use a TS-850 in one of the
operating spots.
The 850 is an excellent contest rig and much more simple to operate when you
don't need all the bells and whistles the other rigs have.

The burning question in my mind is, since we
know you have a computer, I'm assuming you
are using a pc to log with. What program are
you using that doesn't create a Cabrillo file for
you? I've used CT. It does. I now use TRLog,
it does. WriteLog I'm fairly certain does. Are
you using computer logging Bill?

I think that log checking is a huge volunteer effort. Common standard
format log files help the volunteers. This is the reason for the
Cabrillo file requirement. Should ARRL, in other words its members,
pay for this or should the contesters bear some cost in making the log
checking easy? On the surface, it seems to me that the contesters
should bear the burden of making the volunteers' job easier.
The one argument that can be made against such a requirement, is that
it makes it harder for a casual contester to participate *and* send in
the logs. This is somewhat ameliorated by the fact that most
electronic log programs generate some form of Cabrillo logs, and ARRL
does not require Cabrillo format submission for contesters who log on
paper.
Just another opinion.

Rajiv, N2RD

Bill,
N5KO developed Cabrillo at the request of the ARRL with the input from just
about every major developer of contest software. These people are the ones
who have the experience with to contribute to the specification.
I'm amazed the anyone would gripe about the cost or availability of
programs to submit Cabrillo logs. All of the major programs support it
now, with upgrades available for free or nominal cost. If you really
insist on using a ten year old version of your logging program, tools such
as the KA5WSS (available free, I think) or WT4I tools don't cost all that much.
The ARRL really needed to embrace electronic log submittal in order to get
their contest operations under control with regards to support costs and
turnaround. The alternatives would be higher dues or fewer contests. I'm
sure the ARRL directors would not support the former, and I for one would
regret the latter.

Yeah, but there are lots more contests out there than the CQ and

I suppose maybe not in all cases but...

I would imagine WriteLog can handle about

Pardon if this seems like too simple a question, but are there sources of
information as to how log checking is actually accomplished?
The Cabrillo thread actually prompted my thought.
Based on submitting in that format, is there a "magical" way to merge every
log and then determine who has contacted who, and which are and are not
valid? In other words, have the machines check logs, instead of humans (the
old fashioned way)?

So Does NA and CT There is also a took (software ) to convert old
versions of CT logs into .adi ADIF format for input into most logging
programs. I use LOGGER Because its free and does all I need.

Dear contesters,
The Romanian Amateur Radio Federation (FRR) has the honour to invite the
radio amateurs all over the world to participate in the International
Short Wave Championship of Romania (YO DX HF Contest) which is held on
the last weekend of August every year. The objective of the contest is
to establish as many contacts as possible between radio amateurs around
the world and radio amateurs in Romania. Any SSB or CW is allowed, but
YO counties count as multipliers in addidion to the DXCC entities.
Pay attention! The rules have been changed. The most significant
difference is data sent by NON-YO hams (serial #) and contest multiplier
(no ITU zones, but DXCC entities plus YO counties).
The rules can be read here:
http://www.qsl.net/yo3kaa/contests/yodx_eng.htm
RCKLog (by DL4RCK) is ready for the YO DX HF Contest for YO and NON-YO
stations. It can be downloaded from DL4RCK homepage
http://www.rcklog.de.
Another electronic log could be DL5MHR YO Contesting packagage:

The MFJ interface was almost $40, not $20. However, the point is moot -

For what its worth.
We took 2 rigs on a contest-pedition 2 years ago, an 850 and a 570.
The bad news was the 850 went QRT. The worse news was we had to use the 570.
It sucked.
The next year I went on another contest-pedition with the same 850 and a
TS120 backup. The 850 stayed alive and boy was it great.

Cabrillo allows, in simple terms, two major things (at least in the ARRL
case).
1) Logs can be checked for format as they are submitted by an email
robot and if accepted put into CM (configuration management, version
control).
2) A common format for the log checkers and sponsors to work with.
An effective item 1, really helps item 2.
There is no "magic" involved in log checking. One may think that the
machines are doing the checking but the reality is (the same as it is
with any computer product) that the machine is only as good as the
person(s) who programmed it (and created the requirements for the
programming). The computer just runs programs. People create the
programs and requirements. The computer just does the boring part more
effectively/efficiently/consistently than a human.
There are various methods used by each sponsor and even each contest to
check logs. K8CC and I have been checking the ARRL 10m/160m logs for
several years now. I can tell you that cabrillo has been a HUGE benefit
to the process (along with the robot to accept logs). We used to spend
weeks getting logs into a format that was useable by us... now it takes
just hours. There are still some that slip through the cracks and need
repair but each year gets better and better as contesters are more aware
of what they are submitting and the robot gets better at catching errors
in format before accepting the logs.
Cabrillo is just a specification of a format. It is not cabrillo so
much that is making things easier as it is having a specification and
being able to enforce it. I'm glad to see the ARRL and other sponsors
backing a standard, which happens to be cabrillo.
I think if you want an explanation on "how" logs are checked (in any
detail), it would be more appropriate for you to ask the contest
sponsors.

My twopence or is it 2 cents worth. The 570 is a nice rig. I've used it on
several DXpeditions with great success BUT I agree that it doesn't quite
come up to snuff as a serious contest rig. Why? Well for my money, it's
because the filtering isn't good enough. In the 570 the DSP is at audio
frequency rather than at I/F as in the 870 and you can only add xtal
filtering in the 8 MHz I/F which means the shape factor isn't too
impressive. With the low cost ceramic filtering it uses nearer the front
end it may be prone to overload, though in practice I haven't noticed a
problem there.
That aside the 570 is a good radio for most uses and it has some nice
features.

Main problem is AGC pumping and selectivity.
In a contest, you're always going to have QRM.
The ability to copy a signal thru the QRM in an
850 is much better, at least in my experiences,
then the 570.

MFJ might not make the computer interface cable anymore but you can
still buy them. If you check the HRO online catalog they sell the the
MFJ 5383K (The "K" is for Kenwood) interface cable for $49.95. They
also list it as being in stock.

Dennis et al,
My 2 cents worth on the 570:
I have used a 570DG as a second rig for several years. It has some great
features: easy to use, light weight, dsp, etc. It major shortcoming as a
contest radio is that the agc passband is much wider than the digital filter
passband, so that you can have a weak signal wiped out by adjacent strong
signals that you don't actually hear, but that are pumping the agc to
desensitize the receiver. This is more of a problem on cw than on phone,
and is true even if you add the optional 500 Hz cw filter to the radio. The
agc is not defeatable (although there is a web site by a Kenwood engineer
describing some hardware mods to do that).
I once tried running sprint cw just using the 570, and vowed never again.

I have never used a TS570 - but my biggest complaint is that the early
rigs had some really bad issues with sending CW and having the network
going at the same time. It seemed that any network activity (over the
radio interface) messed up the CW. I think Kenwood fixed this problem -
but I really don't know. They never did any kind of communication about
it (that I heard of) and that really makes me uncomfortable.

Message-ID: <20020829155822.GB19188@kkn.net>
Dear Contesters,
As has already been reported - the ARRL DX CW Results have been pulled from
the web site - just one day after being posted. This is due to a process
problem that was discovered when some of you saw the results. In short,
none of the duplicate QSOs in the logs were removed - and counted as good
QSOs.
Obviously, this could have an impact to the final standings, so we are
going to fix the problem, recompute the scores and repost the corrected
results as soon as possible (probably later next week).
We apologize for the delay.
The CW results in QST have already been printed. However, the .PDF version
of QST on the web will be corrected at a later date. The SSB results will
be fixed before they are published.
This programming error was a result of adding new functionality to the log
checking program to better detect infractions of the band change rule for
multi-one and multi-two entrants. In the future, we will put a process into
place to do a reality check on the numbers before the results are published.
This should detect this kind of problem in the future.

Well, the cheapest and most effective method I've ever found is to
make them yourself.
Cut about a 6" length of the 1/2" hard line, and visit your local
hardware store. Also,
take along a barrel connector.
You will find they have brass compression fittings which will allow
the fitting to be
securely mounted to the hard line, along with a "step up" on the other
end which is almost a perfect match for the barrel.
Just place the compression ring on the hard line, ( be sure you put
the compressor fitting on first ), then bare the center wire so it
will be about .75" into the brass fitting. You can now either file off
the threads on the barrel connector, (or drill out the brass fitting
with a 1/2" drill down to the point where the inner housing begins to
expand ) and you will find perfect fit. A little no-alox on the
center wire, and fit the barrel down into the unit. You can now make a
very neat solder around the barrel fitting. A little more no-alox on
the aluminum shield, especially under the position where the
compression ring will come to rest, and tighten it down.
Helps if you have a dremal tool with a circular carbide blade to cut
through the aluminum to expose the center conductor, then slit the
aluminum from the cut to the coax end. Remove the outer shield and
then slice away the insulation back about .75" from the end. Gasoline
works great on a rag to remove that sticky stuff.
It has literally taken longer to write this than to make the actual
fitting.
As to performance, I tested several connectors up to about 200 mHz for
loss and found it was practically non existent. When I first started
using this method, I made up 2 short connects, put coax seal and tape
on one, and hung them with the coax end up on a fence for a little
more than a year. Then, took them apart, and honestly could not find
any difference in the appearance of the 2.
Short and sweet, Ace is the place for the ....

Hi everybody,
For those interested to enter the YODXHF Contest this week-end using TR-log, I
am attaching below, the new logcfg.dat as per new contest rules (two main
changes: non-YO will transmit serial # and the multiplier is given by the sum
of DXCC entities + YO counties).
Note: there is still a weak point: QSO within own country should be zero points
(credited for multiplier only), but the program gives 2 points/QSO. I suggest
manual editing, since I don?t expect that anyone would be too interested in
QSO?s with his own country.
Good luck and see you in the contest!

Message-ID: <1030646196016752@lycos.it>
Hello All
This is IK4VYX (Fabrizio)
I'm here to announce a new feature of my DXTelnet software package.
If you've never heard about it, DXTelnet can monitor dx spots from a variety of
sources,
simultaneously: Packet radio, Telnet (more than 50 nodes listed), IRC (the CQDX
node),
Web (the popular dxsummit web-cluster).
One of the nice things is that you can set your own, customized, spot filters.
Filters are accessible from the "Configuration" > "Filters" top menu.
One of the filters is called "Select spots by word".
If you set this filter, say, to:
AF,AN,AS,EU,NA,OC,SA,IOTA,ISL,ISL.,ISLAND
DXTelnet will select only Iota spots.
This could be useful for Iota contest purposes or for specific Iota needs.
Of course this filter can be customized for any specific contesting/DX need.
In addition, DXTelnet can feed almost any existing log/contesting software with
the
(filtered) spots it receives.
Please check
http://www.geocities.com/onlydx/article_e.htm
to find out how to link your log/contesting software to DXTelnet.
DXTelnet latest version (5.1) can be downloaded from:
http://www.qsl.net/wd4ngb/telnet.htm
Thanks for your attention.
Best (((73))) de Fabrizio (IK4VYX)

I have a TS-57SDG - The problem Tree mentions is not apparent in this
particular radio.
Trying to use it in a contest is a challenge, at best. Strong stations do not
need to be too close to cause the AGC to pump, and you can't turn it off.
I had mine in the pick-up for quite a while and it was a fb mobile rig,
although it is a bit large. I replaced it with a new IC-706 a few months ago,
and WAY prefer the 570.
The 706's digital remnants are extremely distracting on cw, but it isn't a
bad SSB rig, and it's SMALL. Another not cool contesting radio.
If you're into ham radio in general the TS-570 is a nice radio. If contesting
is your game best check out something else. Of course if your not into
contesting you're probably not reading this reflector.

The number of entries for this year's IOTA Contest is already an all-time
high, but there is still time to send in your log if you have not already
done so. The official deadline is 1st September. e-mail logs go to
iota.logs@rsgbhfcc.org or to hf.contests@rsgb.org.uk These are the only
addresses that work, although I am aware that some other e-mail addresses
have been published in various sources. All entrants should have received an
acknowledgement, automatic from the iota.logs address or manual from the
hf.contests address. If you have not received an acknowledgement, then
please try again.
About a week after the deadline we will put a list of claimed scores, with
category on the RSGB HF Contests Committee Web page (www.rsgbhfcc.org) and
would encourage entrants to check that we have all your details correct. We
will also be putting Soapbox comments and some photographs on the Web at the
same time.

Just what I was looking for. A little slicker than my version. Just one
caveat. Stations within your own country come up with 2 points rather than
zero. That appears to be the only editing needed to make it play 100%.

Does anybody have opinions on the performance of the FT-920 as a
contesting/DXing rig? It looks like a lot of bang for the buck, but I have not
had the opportunity to use one in person yet. What kind of experience does the
contesting community have with the 920? I am particularly interested in
hearing how the radio performs on CW with QSK enabled. How does the receiver
stack up? Can you live with only having one IF to put (INRAD) filters in? How
good is the voice quality of the voice keyer? Is the audio DSP useful?
Opinions good and bad are equally welcome.

Dennis Younker NE6I brings up a valid question.
> Lots of people yakking about the 570 not being up to snuff as a contest rig.
> Oddly, no details are being presented. Anyone care to detail?
Two years ago, almost to this week, my house (not the antennas) were struck
my lightning and it took out an IC751A and TS870. I purchased another TS870
and borrowed a 570 so I could run my normal SO2R RTTY thing for CQWW RTTY.
The '570 has a couple of problems when it comes to contesting. First off, it
has a 250 hz filter in the FSK position, but I'm not sure where this filter
could
be because if someone parks next to you with a strong signal, the AGC goes
way up and you can't copy squat. So the narrow filtering is probably not in
the IF section. This is the 570's biggest problem when contesting.
The next big problem for RTTY is that the radio does not give a RTTY
sidetone when used in the FSK position. But that had nothing to do with W2UP
whooping my butt that year.
It's great for a "holiday" rig, but not a good contesting radio.
You probably couldn't give me one because I have an FT757GX/II in the closet
that probably works better and is 10 years older.
FWIW... opinions are like ... well you know.

Thanks Fab,
I've been using DXTelnet several years with WriteLog. For RTTY contesting,
all you have to do is put into the filter the word "RTTY" and only RTTY spots
will be sent to WriteLog during the contests. It's nothing short of great.
For information on how to run DXTelnet over a LAN with WriteLog, check
out www.geocities.com/writelog/. For those contests that allow packetcluster
spots, DXTelnet is the BEST!

Seems like the "survery says" the 850 definitely outshines the 570 at least
as far as CW contesting goes.
Could I humor those of you who have used both to compare the TS-850 vs. the

Quack approach
Very similar to above, I take the piece of 1/2 hard line to the same
hardware and buy a nipple that fits over the 1/2 line on one end and fits
the base of a SO239 on the other end.
Slot the end of the nipple that will go over the 1/2 in line and move it
back about 2 inches. Expose about 1/8" of the center conductor of the
hdline. Solder it to the center of the SO 239. To make the connector look
a bit better I have ground down the portion of the SO 239 that has the
mounting holes. Put some no-lox on the
aluminum and Slide the Nipple fwd to contact the base of the SO 239 and
solder at the sholder on the connector then put a worm clamp around at the
Slit that was cut in the nipple.
I have covered the whole thing with RTV and applied tape while the RTV is
still stickey. I use this connector on almost all of my antenna's and SO
FAR No problem.

Thanks for your comments, Don.
You got the exact the meaning of my message: that filter can be tailored
for different needs.
RTTY is one, not to say about SSTV, QSP, PSK, FSK and many others.
During a contest, this filter makes multiplier detection easier.
About WriteLog I am going to post a specific article on the
WriteLog's reflector which describes a new link way
between writeLog and DXTelnet.
That is discussed in
http://www.geocities.com/onlydx/article_e.htm
It uses WriteLog TCP/IP connectivity, instead of the dedicated
dxt2wl application.
Same method applies, say, to CTWIN.
Bye for now.

Many contesters and DXers have recommended the TS-850 to me as one of the
best deals in its price range, so I bought one a couple months ago. I've
been more than happy with it so far. The receiver is outstanding.
To me, any radio that has no tubes in it is not "stone age". :-) I grew
up contesting with S-lines, Heathkits, Drake R4B/T4XB, etc. With those,
even if you didn't get the "warm glow of victory", you at least had the
warm glow of the rigs!

_________________________________________________________
IMO, the TS-870 has an even better receiver. On my '850, a very
strong station (40 over 9) very close in frequency could be heard
weakly - leakage around the filter. On my '870 there is no
leakage at all.
The only thing the '870 needs to make it perfect is the ability
to choose 50 Hz bandpass on SSB. Then PSK31 could truly come
into its own as a DX mode.
Sigh.

Message-ID: <000b01c2508e$a00ed560$0100a8c0@joe>
All this talk of the TS 570 vs. TS 850 (not even a contest in my book, in
favour of the 850) raises a wider question: are ANY of Kenwood's current
production radios competition grade?
At the risk of inflaming die-hard Kenwood fans, my guess is no. The 870 got
bad reviews on its IF DSP (basically high cut in one IF and low cut in
another IF) that lets signals into the AGC loop even if the second IF
filtering eliminates them. (Similar beef as with the 570.) The last I read
(please, correct me if I'm wrong), you could not install analog filters, or
if you could, you could only install one. Choose wisely, I guess.
The TS 2000 is very neat, but does it count as competition grade? Maybe if
you're into satellite, but I have to think all that frequency agility must
have a price somewhere.
And we know where the contest community stands on the 570.
The 950 is a very nice radio, but it's not made anymore.
Don't get me wrong. I love my 850. But did Kenwood start turning its back on
contesters after the 850? Or was it after the 940?

Quack note on TS 870
I have used the TS 870 for several years and the only problem I have is
when band is loaded with strong signals , HOWEVER that said. Thats why
Rx's have a control call RF Gain. By reducing RF gain I can copy weak
signals that might be covered by ajacent strong signals. Reports on TX
audio are excellent and I like the ability to control the Pass band of both
TX and RX audio. My only complaint on CW filtering is there is a
MAX band width of 1000 Hz. ( under slow cndx it can be desirable to have
this wider.)

_________________________________________________________
It's possible this might be a problem on SSB or CW using the
'870, but I use mine mostly on RTTY and I've never noticed an AGC
problem with it.
I suspect from comments I've heard over the years the '870 might
not be the best choice for SSB/CW contesting, but for RTTY I
can't imagine anything better. If there is, I'd like to try one
out. :-)

Kelly,
I think that the 940 was the last truly competitive radio from
Kenwood.
I don't know what happened, but the folks at Kenwood have not
been keeping up. There has to have been some sort of decision
made to not go after that market. I don't understand it. They also
have rigs available in Japan that are not sold here. The solid
state TL-933 amplifier is an example.
Why they have decided to bow out is a mystery to me. I have
a TS-940S/AT vintage 1987. I have been looking for a replacement
and the Icom 756 ProII is a front runner. It would be nice if Kenwood
had anything that could compare.
My opinion only, YMMV!

Quack's
I use a TS870 and on cw I recieve on Lower side most of the time. Many,
Many stations call on the low side ?? as much as 2 khz low, and this is not
just in contest?? On SSB they seem to do the same when I'm on USB. I think
that it is because most tune from the bottom up and when they have good copy
they stop before getting on the TX freq? I find that I set RIT down about
300 hz and have much better tone for my old ears. On SSB there is no cure.
Many do call off freq but most of the time there is no need to retune to
copy them.

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0207312239270.26598-100000@fresno.akorn.net>
Recent communications with other W4 team organizers indicate that more
than SIXTY (yes 60) W4 stations will take part in Saturday's NAQP and be
part of a team effort.
The Florida Contest Group has approximately 20 entrants including (to my
suprise) Dan "I hate NAQP" Street, K1TO.
Last word I had from TCG was that they had at least two teams.
K4FXN tells me that the Kentucky group is trying to organize two teams as
well.
We've managed to organize nearly 30 from the SECC, PVRC, and others. We
will be known as the Southern States Sprint Coalition (hoping to to inject
the expectation that this is just a warm-up for the real contest in early
September).
Condolence letters can be addressed to Paul, K9PG, and paul@k9pg.com for
our showing up those W9s with regards to participation. This tradition
will be extended through early September.

Worse than it being a non-priority, one could easily
imagine a regime that actively discourages long
distance (HF) communications. Also, some government
types in some places require some sort of "small"
payment (bribe) in order to get them to do their jobs
in individual cases. This is considered normal in
those places and astonishing to the rest of us.
I wonder if some "payola" would grease the wheels?

Speculation about ulterior motives and/or corruption on the part of foreign
licensing authorities does nothing to encourage a tidal wave of new
hams. A lot of quiet progress has been made in recent years in a number of
countries that formerly looked askance at ham radio. Let's let this thread

Hi, Dan.
Here's my message for posting to the CQ contest reflector.
Thanks much for taking the trouble to do this.
I'll keep you informed on what I find out.
Best 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ: Big Rapids, MI
"I am a blind ham, and my call is KB8TYJ. I probably could best be
described as a casual contester, but am now interested enough in contesting
to start pursuing available user-friendly contest logging software for the
blind.
Are there any contest logging programs that have been successfully used by
blind hams with the JAWS for Windows screen reading software? I currently
use JAWS 3.7 with windows 98 Second edition. I am not a computer wizzard,
but if someone can send me a demo of some software to try, with some
easy-to-follow
installation and configuration instructions, I'd be willing to give it a
shot.
Any help would be most appreciated. Please direct any responses to my

Subject: [CQ-Contest] New DTA databases, your help needed
Message-ID: <3D49DB3C.572A0547@buckeye-express.com>
Hello
Last year K8CC and I (K9TM) took over the generation of the callsign
databases used by most of the popular contest logging packages (you may
know the file as master.dta or the feature as super-check partial). Due
to transition items, translation problems on my end, the databases
barely made it out in time for CQ WW last year. However, all reports
have been favorable on the accuracy of the database. This year I have
all the tools ready and can turn the crank pretty quickly.
The goal this year is to get them out by Oct 1. The major factor this
year is in receiving logs as I have already created the tools.
Regardless of deadlines, we need your help. All you have to do is get
together your logs and send them to us (see info at the bottom of this
note for details). Since people interested in the databases are using a
computer and since most of you submit your logs in cabrillo format
anyway... we are only accepting cabrillo logs. (In the past the tools to
generate the databases were based on CT BIN files and as a result, input
was by CT BIN files. Last year I created new tools to work from
cabrillo files.)
The more logs we get, the more calls we can extract and the better the
final result. So all you Multi-Multi's out there (we know you use
super-check partial :-) ) and anyone who wants to help (especially those
who use the database) please submit your logs.
We promise that your log(s) will not be shared with anyone. We will not
use your log for any purpose other than to extract callsigns for the
database project.
Updated databases are available @ http://www.datomonline.com.
To help out please do the following:
1) Name your files using your call. Something like K9TM1.LOG,
K9TM2.LOG.
Please do not name your files like 01SSCW.LOG! You only have to rename
a couple of files... I potentially have to do thousands (ok wishful
thinking, probably only hundreds).
2) Send the files as attachments to the email.
3) Please do not zip or otherwise compress the files.
4) It would also help if you could please make your subject line "[DTA]
your_callsign", for example Subject: [DTA] K9TM. Just like subject
lines from reflectors. This will allow me to sort the responses from my
normal mail.
5) Send the logs to: k9tm@buckeye-express.com.
If you would like to send your logs throughout the year rather than this
batch method, that is OK with me. If enough people do this, I wouldn't
have any problem making updates available more often.
If there are any questions regarding the databases, please direct them
to me (K9TM). We look forward to receiving many logs and putting
together the updated databases.
Thanks & 73s,
The master.dta team

Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.2.20020802023553.01aea290@pop.dc2.adelphia.net>
Kudos to K9TM and K8CC for taking on the task of generating master databases.
It's a tricky thing to get accuracy. Unfortunately, the starting point
(people's logs) can bring with it a lot of chaff. For example, I've been
told that the CQWW SSB log-checking database shows about 97,000 calls, of
which only ~30,000 are good calls. In other words, 2/3 of the call-signs
that could be gleaned if you had access to everyone's logs over a number of
years would be bad!
I'm sure that the logs submitted to K9TM and K8CC will be a lot cleaner
than that, and techniques will be applied to screen the unique/probably bad
calls out of that input. But even then, a lot of the common busts -- H for
S on CW, for example -- will undoubtedly sneak through.
Ironically, I find that rather helpful. Whenever I'm tempted to rely too
heavily on the database, I need only look at the screen when I'm part-way
through entering a call and see what look like two or three variations on a
single call. Or are they different calls? Better just copy the station
and be sure!

Sat. Everyone is invited. Pass the word to your club gangs, especially on
the west coast. Sri east coasters, the sun doesn't set on the west coast
until 11:30 EDST
Check in on 3830 starting about 8:30 PM PDT, when we can chat about
strategy, prop., logging programs, SO2R, etc. Number of check-ins will
determine how long we run the mini. We'll start the 10 or 15 minute mini
(80 and 40 CW, in the suggested CW segments) at 9:00 PM (04Z). This is a
good chance to check out your logging software and station before the REAL
THING happens Saturday.

The logs have started rolling in... thanks!
...and so have the questions. I have responded to everyone privately
(thus far) but would like to put a sort of FAQ list out here. So here
goes...
Q) Do you only want CQWW logs?
A) NO. We want all types of logs. WW is just one contest.
Any contest is fine.
Q) Why only cabrillo
A) Well since most all contest sponsors require cabrillo (or strongly
want) and
it has been around long enough now that software writers have had
time to
make it part of the package or write a post conversion program...
it really
helps tasks like this (and log checking).
Q) Since you do log checking for the ARRL you already have my 160 or 10
log, just use it.
A) While it is true that Dave and I do log checking for the ARRL, we
can NOT use the
logs submitted to the ARRL. Why? Because the ARRL does not want
them used for
anything other than log checking. That is their decision and Dave
and I abide by it.
Please send your logs again as described in the earlier post for
inclusion into
the database.
Q) How do you get rid of bad calls?
A) There are several techniques used. While we try our best through
software and
human inspection... things still happen. Garbage-in, Garbage-out
still sort-of
applies. We hope to filter through things and come up with a
quality database.
We were pretty successful last year and AD1C did it for years
before us.
BTW, I added a step to take out known bad calls that may have made
it through.
If you have specific bad calls in mind or have found some in prior
databases,
please send me a note with those calls and I will add them to the
list.
Note that you don't have to send OE5OSO (really OE5OHO), that call
inspired
this method.
Q) My logs are small, are they still useful?
A) Yes, all logs are useful. You don't have to be multi-multi,
multi-single or
multi-anything. All logs help.
Q) Do I need to mark the logs differently by contest (dx -vs- domestic,
etc)?
A) Nope, the tools do all the work for me (well most of it).

The W1AW/5 team in the IARU HF World Championship 2002 had a great
weekend representing the ARRL and the USA in the contest. We've
put together a small web site with our claimed score, band-mode
breakdowns, rate sheets, continental distribution breakdowns, lots
of photos, and the Honor Roll of stations that worked us on all 12
band-modes, all 6 CW bands, or all 6 phone bands. We also have
information on the stations' equipment, operators, and locations:
http://www.ctdxcc.org/w1aw5/
A documentary video of the W1AW/5 contest effort will be shown
at the Austin Summerfest (http://www.repeater.org/summerfest/) this
weekend, which is also the ARRL Texas State Convention.
If you worked us and need a W1AW/5 QSL card, please QSL to: ARRL,
225 Main Street, Newington, CT 06111, USA, or via the buro.

We've discussed here the reminding of past contest participants about an
upcoming event, either by mail or email. That's really preaching to the
choir, so let's take it a step farther ....
An old sales rule of thumb says it's six times easier to sell an
existing
customer than to recruit a new customer. To entice new blood into our
sub-hobby, why don't we ...
Choose a local contest -- in USA, for example, perhaps the FQP or CQP --
so that rates will be reasonable AND callsigns will be familiar. Look up,
on www.qrz.com, everyone in your ZIP code (I'm not sure how our non-USA
friends would do this). Then, ten days or so before the contest, do one of
the following ... or both, if you like:
(1) Send each ham a postcard inviting him/her to operate or observe the
contest. Make it Open House-style ... between the hours of xx and yy ...
and be sure to include food.
(2) Also ten days or so ahead, after identifying each ham in your ZIP
code, send him/her an email (a click on the callsign in the ZIP code search
in qrz.com takes you to a page that MAY have an email address). In the
email, extend the above invitation AND attach a minute or so audio clip
from your station in a high-rate SSB contest.

Hi Tim:
Yes I have a file now thanks.
Yes I saw that in the rules and it sounds a bit backwards!!!....As well I notice
in TRLog that the mult list has VO1 and VO2.....?? So if the rules say that
"Newfoundland counts as Labrador" why isn't the multilier just VO?? I am
confused. Anyway the official name for the province is "Newfoundland and
Labrador".....for many years the name was "Newfoundland"...but last year the
Canadian govt under pressure from some politicians who aren't busy enough,
changed the name to include Labrador. All of us who are native Nfld'ers have
always known that VO2 was part of the province so the change is a bit ridiulous.
VO2 is in CQ Zone 2 and VO1 as on zone 5 ...so VO2 is special in that sense.
Anyway maybe Tree can advise as to why VO1 and VO2 are in the mult list when the
rules say that Nfld. counts as Labrador.
Anyway

Message-ID: <002501c23b2e$0ae35440$cffd7243@sbcglobal.net>
Dick N6AA and I are very much appreciative of all the real-time cheering we
received during the WRTC. Especially, from the Senior Set, who I guess we
were somehow representing. Sorry we didn't race to the finish, first, and
hope we didn't let anyone down, other than ourselves. Age was not our
excuse; feeble-mindedness may have been.
What did someone call us? "Old and Treacherous", I think I heard.
OK, fair enough.
In recent months, I've been thinking that this being my FIFTH solar maxima,
of serious contesting that is, it may very well be my last! How depressing
is that?
So, quitting not exactly being in my internal workings, I have decided to go
public with:
SECRETS OF CONTESTING NO.5:
Many in this country, at least, probably read last week of the Yale
University research findings that if you THINK YOUNG, you will extend your
life (on the average) ANOTHER SEVEN AND ONE-HALF YEARS. And further, that
this singular "habit" is more important to your health than factors such as
blood pressure and cholesterol.
Can you imagine this?
Thusly, I hereby announce that I have extended my personal goal of SERIOUS
contest expeditions until I am Age 100. That's another 37 years, or ANOTHER
3 SOLAR MAXIMA! Wow. And then when I reach 100, I'll decide if I'll go
another 5 years, or not. And another 5, and so on. I hope you all will be
around to celebrate this with me.
Some are probably saying, "How silly is this? Neiger has definitely and
finally gone over the edge"!
My challenge to ALL of you: please sign up to this plan of (1)thinking
young, and (2) dumping pathetic excuses of WHY YOU CANNOT hit the contest
DXpedition trail this fall, or putting in MAJOR efforts from home this and
every year.
What if Yale is right? You, at least may benefit the most. And the rest
will derive great benefit from your activity, and many more multipliers!
And having our radio friends with us for so many more years, we all win.
And what has been on many of our minds, the bad notions that ham radio, and
contests are dying (at least in the USA), and have a limited future, are, as
they say " a little pre-mature".
Maybe we can't attract many youngsters into the hobby. But we certainly
have the potential to EXTEND our useful contesting lifetimes.
And I may not make the Top Ten every year, but at least if won't be for want
of a serious effort.
Please join me in this quest. And thank you for reading this far.

I certainly think the Yale study is right! I attended my 40th High School
Class
reunion in 1990 and could not believe how pathetic the majority of the
people
looked! Especially the ones who never left Carlsbad, New Mexico. I've
tried
my best to destroy my body over the past 45 or so years with little success
but I think it's because I "think young" and won't participate in getting
old -
why should I? Hopefully we'll be doing a M/M from some exotic country or
planet 30 years from now - if you're there I'll be there too! My 60th
birthday
party will be held in Brazil or some South American country on November
26th - just after CQWW CW PT5A - it'll be a blast. I've celebrated my
birthday
on every continent and not sure how many countries and they were all fun!

Bill, I though think that anyone who is an MIT alumni would be able to
acknowledge that modes like PSK31 could easily be superior to CW.
On a theoretical grounds, PSK has a signal/noise advantage of about 4 dB
over OOK (on-off-keying -- eg CW) in the presence of Gaussian noise.
Granted, the signal impairment of typical HF channels isn't purely
Gaussian, but the theory is there none the less.
As a pratical matter, PSK31 has demonstrated that solid copy is possible
with signal levels that are INAUDIBLE to the human ear. Read that again.
Inaudible -- as in you cannot hear it. Since CW is typically decoded by
ear, this clearly indicates the superiority of the mode in weak signal
environments.
As for tuning PSK31 signals, it's pretty obvious to anyone who is
familiar with current PSK31 applications -- you do not tune in signals by
ear. It would be impractical to do so. Instead, you tune according to a
visual display, typically an FFT waterfall. Signals are clearly evident
on this display and easily tunable. Many applications don't require
precise tuning -- just click on the visible stream in the waterfall
display.

By that logic, e-mail doesn't mean anything, either.
To me, though, it's just a means of person-to-person communication.

It still takes considerable radio skill and communications acumen to hold
a PSK31 QSO.
Do you hold the same opinion of Baudot RTTY?

There ARE NO CW subbands on HF. There are a few narrow CW-only subbands
on VHF, but not on HF.
CW is permitted everywhere, and there are no indications it will be
prohibited.
I really get annoyed at this suggestion that any regulatory change is
couched in the framework of somehow eliminating CW subbands, when such
subbands do not exist.

Hint: the level of activity on RTTY contests isn't nearly as high as that
on CW or SSB. Bottom line is that there are many fewer stations CAPABLE
of making RTTY contacts than those that can make CW or SSB contacts.

Big Amen to that. Let's use our brains.
Anyone with brains would realise that if there were more stations active
on RTTY contests, rates and QSO totals would be higher. Much higher.

PSK31 is roughly the same speed as CW. It would be a better choice for
most run-of-the-mill communications.

Technically, you're incorrect. Human-read CW signals are limited by being
audible above the noise. Certain digital modes can greatly exceed that
capability.
N4HY and W3IWI did experiments back in the mid-80's where they did
MOONBOUNCE with weak 432 MHz signals. (They actually read the CW off the
FFT displays from their transceivers.) Once you bring signal processing
to the problem, new types of communications are possible -- ones that are
not limited by the human ear.

Bill, this is so fallacious an argument, it is almost ludicrious to
reply. Not only does one have to contend with the different bandwidth
requirements of SSB over CW, but the world-wide frequency allocations are
so varied that simplex communication, the mainstay of high-speed contest
operation, are not possible on SSB -- but are common for CW.
> In the extreme conditions on the low bands, CW rules!
Over SSB, sure. CW requires almost 100th of the bandwidth of SSB. It's
information rate is much lower.
Dr. Shannon has a well-known theory about information transmission.
Sending information and lower rates requires less bandwidth, and can
therefore be done at lower signal levels.
By that rule along, modes like PSK31, whose information rates are lower
than some CW signals, ought to be superior with weak signals.

I've seen this argument so many times, I'm somewhat sick of it.
It is a good technical point. My question is -- why is it only applied to
SSB? Wouldn't this operation also be beneficial for CW? Of course it
would. So, why not propose to use CW exclusively in the US from 1950-2000
kHz and work all DX split?

SSB has bandwidth problems on the higher bands, with the possible
exception of 10 meters.
One important effect on the higher bands is that the presence of skip
zones tends to limit co-channel interference.
Bottom line, though, CW requires only a percent or so of the bandwidth of
SSB. Therefore, the signal levels required for effective communications
are definitely lower.

I don't think these records are any indication of the inherent properties
of the mode. On SSB, most likely it is due to the higher availability of
stations to work than the properties of the mode itself.

These modes aren't anything alike. WSJT is 441 baud, which is actually a
rather high signalling rate compared to CW. WSJT is designed for meter
scatter work, and therefore has to transfer information at a high rate.
(it also uses multi-bit FSK, to avoid some of the phase distortions
present in the meteor pings)
So, WSJT is not extremely narrow. It is wider than typical RTTY or 300
baud packet, even.
Point is, each of these modulation techniques is designed to meet certain
channel goals. WSJT works much more effectively than high-speed CW. (high
speed here meaning 100-800 wpm!)

I think Bill missed my point, probably because I could have put that more
precisely. There are no CW sub-bands, but the phone sub-bands protect CW
from phone QRM. I worry that the FCC will succumb to pressure to expand
the phone sub-bands to cover more and more spectrum now effectively set
aside for CW and digital modes. Digital devotees should realize that the
existing phone sub-bands now protect them, too.
As for metaphors, I still prefer sailing, because while CW may be
Piper-Cub-slow, it's also sailboat-like-fun.

The new digital modes are far superior to CW or SSB in being able to copy
weak signals. But they take more time to make a QSO. If you're trying to
compare rates, that is a factor. Just like a view camera is far superior
in results to a 35mm camera. But it takes at least several minutes to set
it up. It isn't "point and shoot".
So you might say that the digital modes are better than CW or SSB in
having QSO's or ragchews but aren't the best for rapid contest operation.
My favorite is still CW.

Actually, the software we used at W1AW/5 is 95% of the way to making that
sort of operation quite feasible. The stations at W1AW/5 were all
interconnected by TCP/IP over the internet, so whether they are in the same
state or not is pretty minimally important. And since the complete log
of the entire operation was always available to each of the stations in
realtime, you wouldn't need to worry about dupes or not knowing which bands
to pass calling stations to, etc.
The next big step in the software would be to integrate some very responsive
inter-station signalling that required few keystrokes to send and little
brain-power to receive. Signals like "I am now QRT - you take it over from
here," or "I can hear him well enough to complete the QSO, please standby
while I work him" and such boiled down to something that makes it fast
was the one trick we lacked at W1AW/5. Such signalling might also find itself
useful for traditional multi-multis.
With this sort of idea, if you had three stations on 80SSB, you could have
the midwest station CQing, and then whenever a caller comes along whom he
cannot hear, you could have the east coast or west coast stations jump in
on a QSO-by-QSO basis to complete the contacts while still limiting the
team to one transmitted signal per band-mode at a time.

Tony and Jim, et all,
Sign me up! I took my first trip outside the U.S.
last CQWW CW to PJ2T at 57 (almost 58) and have my
plane tickets for this fall already. I have only been
seriously contesting for 12 years, even if licensed
for 43. I have always thought and felt young and
rowdy. I am not ready for a rocker and pablum yet, if
ever!
After my 2nd divorce, I have a new young girlfriend,
she's only 50 and looks and acts young, and we are
like teenagers. She thinks ham radio is very cool.
I am one happy contented contesting dude!
I used to say that I wanted to be shot by a jealous
husband when I'm 90, but now I say that I'm looking
forward to working you all in the contests of the
next 3 or 4 sunspot cycles, and see you from PJ2T on
this year's CQWW CW.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CW works better!
Message-ID: <1.5.4.32.20020805155047.00728bc0@pop.vnet.net>
Under extreme contest conditions on any band, CW rules! Why
is this so? The answer is very simple...noise bandwidth. On the
low bands, noise tends to increase as you move down in frequency.
This is due to three primary reasons:
1. Local atmospheric noise (i.e. lightning storms) is propagated more
effectively on the low bands, 160 being the extreme.
2. Local manmade noise is worse on the low bands (powerline leaks,
electric fencers, and a multitude of other local sources)...again
160 being the extreme.
3. Local signal congestion interference is worse on the low bands
because you do not have the effective skip zone protection that
higher bands afford. This case is inverted on the higher bands
where most interference is from strong distant stations, but it is
more difficult to generate DX signal strengths as strong there as
commonly experienced on 160 or 80 from local stations (-20 to -30 dBm).
Because of noise, any mode which allows a smaller (i.e. narrower)
noise bandwidth will be more effective in communications than a mode
which requires larger bandwidths. W8JI recently commented on this on
the FT-1000MP reflector:
http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/1000mp/2002-August/003416.html
********************************************************************
The reason is noise power is directly proportional to receiver
bandwidth, while signal level is constant as long as the signal is
narrower than the bandwidth. If you have a 100Hz filter bandwidth and
a 100Hz signal bandwidth, and switch to a wider 1kHz bandwidth, you
increase noise ten dB.
(This is most of the reason why people think PSK is significantly
better than other modes like CW. The digital system uses a ~70 Hz
filter in the computer but and the "ear" listening hears the signals
through a 2.1kHz SSB bandwidth of the receiver. Switch to a 100Hz
filter and copy a slow CW signal at slow typing speeds, and that
"apparent" advantage evaporates.)
*********************************************************************
SSB has an advantage in contest conditions where there is
relatively low manmade or atmospheric noise (20-10 meters) and
especially where interference due to signal congestion is not an
issue (i.e. 10 meters). Where congestion interference becomes an
issue, CW again has the advantage because of its narrow noise
bandwidth. In this case, the noise is primarily due to adjacent
signals rather than atmospheric or local manmade noise. The WRTC
teams made most of their contacts on CW because signal congestion
was severe on all of the bands below 10M and their 100W signals
were most effectively heard on CW using narrower bandwidths than the
wider bandwidth SSB requires. Taking a quick glance at the results,
only ONE of the 52 teams made more contacts on SSB than CW, and the
top 5 stations made 62% of their total contacts on CW, even though
scoring incentives were identical for both modes:
http://www.wrtc2002.org/results.htm (click on Full WRTC2002 Score
sheet link at the bottom for Excel spreadsheet)
I don't believe any current digital mode has an advantage
over either CW or SSB in contest conditions, not due to any
bandwidth considerations, but simply due to the awkwardness of the
human/computer/radio interface in making contacts rapidly (tuning,
identifying, exchanging, etc.) IMHO the human brain coupled to a
radio is a far more powerful combination under contest conditions
than any mode which requires a computer for coding/decoding signals.
This might change in the future but that's how I see it today.
73, Bill W4ZV
P.S. The 2000 CQ 160 CW & SSB Contests had nearly identical
participation levels (December 2000 CQ Magazine listed 4606 unique
calls for SSB and 4512 for CW), so participation does not explain the
advantage CW demonstrated in the contest results. Also, the 2001 ARRL
bandplan was not in effect for any 160 contest results previously
referenced, so all USA SSB stations had full access to the entire band.
(Of course there WAS a bandplan in effect before 2001 but nobody honored
it until Riley Hollingsworth sent enforcement letters last September).

Another aspect of both CW and SSB is that a sufficiently skilled operator
can copy more than one signal at a time. I'm not aware of a "new digital
mode" that supports this "feature".
Of course if you increased the data rate, and hence the bandwidth, you could
make the QSO's so fast that it would be indistinguishable from copying more
than one signal at a time, but the increased bandwidth would leave CW as
superior again. ;-)

*IF* feedlines were lossless, this would be true. In some situations, one
can use a feedline that is nearly lossless, so that the absolute SWR
matters less.
Such antennas are usually compromise antennas, and contestors are less
likely to compromise. Even so, LB Cebik's 88 foot doublet design is a
compromise of this type. It was really intended as a backup or second
radio antenna.

9913 isn't lossless at HF, but it's loss is lower than other coax. Well,
that is, until it fills up with water....
>Or that a 1 dB difference in a signal is unnoticable at either end.
For signals well above the noise, 1 dBis just perceptable. But for
signals in the noise, it cam make all the difference.
>Or that connector loss is negligable.
If connector loss were even 1%, running 1500 watts through a connection
for just a few minutes would heat it up with 15 watts of power. They
would be HOT.
In practice, when properly installed, connectors do not heat this way. In
fact, even at full power, most connectors don't show any measurable
heating at all. This lack of heating indicates that connectors have
negligable loss.
That said, you're still better off to have as few connectors as you can.
Each connector is still a point of failure.
>All those statements are lies. Find out why.
Not all of them are lies. But finding out why is good advice....

This sort of Internet octopus would be pretty unwieldy, given the current
state of the network -- just too much latency. At NU1AW/4, I think that
having one station handle all the CW and another all the SSB was a pretty
good way to do things. With multipliers only counting once per band
there's little incentive to pass mults between modes.

Digipan allows you to copy 2 PSK31 signals at once. W1SQLPSK allows you
to copy up to 20 (yes, twenty!) PSK31 signals at once.
None, however, allow you to transmit more than one signal at once. I'm
not sure I could type that fast, anyway. :-]

Yep, it is ... just bought one. You might have to educate the salesperson a

You have not kept up! The latest versions of both DigiPan and
WinPSK can copy two separate signals at once. They even have a
"seek" function similar to the one on your car radio.

Hi Rich,
Although I do support CW with all my heart, PSK 31 can copy several signals
simultaneously and the bandwidth is quite comparable with that of CW. Never

I have been suggesting an "Experimental" category in regular contests for just
this kind of activity. There's really no reason why not to try it in, say, CQ
WW except for it not meeting the requirements for any of the categories. I
think an Experimental category would open the doors to some innovations.
About the only requirement for Experimental category would be to obey all the
rules of your ham license and whatever you do, you have to write it up and
explain it publically so we can all think about it. You might want to restrict
it a tad by limits on one signal per band, 1500 watts maximum output, etc. If
the contest sponsors don't want to implement another category, then submit the
results as a check log and write it up anyway. If it's a really good idea,
either the idea will be adopted or you can start a new contest.
As far as just distributed efforts, you can have distributed M/S or M/M as with
W1AW/5, although identification gets a little sticky on a worldwide basis. You
could also have distributed teams. There comes a whole new set of interesting
strategic problems like how to allocate bands as the earth rotates. What if
you have enough bandwidth to listen from remote sites? What if a single-op has
a half-dozen remote stations? The possibilities are pretty wide open. The
Internet offers a tremendous dose of technology, why don't we make it possible
to use it, while still retaining an emphasis on operating skill?

What CW or interrupted carrier modes, have going for them from deep
space, vs. psk31, etc...
Less power consumption transmitting, particularly if one is
transmitting in packets with self-correction CRC's. Only transmitting
part of the time. The trick is doing what is necessary to trust the
zero state.

Hi, Bill.
This is reminiscent of when I bought a brand new ARRL Handbook for Radio
Amateurs at Bookmaster a year or two ago. Word had spread via the Internet
that the Handbook was on sale for $8. The price tag was still the original
shelf price. You had to tell the counter clerk it was on sale--he then
looked it up on their computer system and found, yes, indeed, it was on
sale.
Apparently, Bookmaster/Barnes&Noble puts selected books on sale at selected
and various stores. The stores don't always get the word and/or they don't
get marked as being on sale.
I've made it a point to ask the clerk to check their network system if the
book I'm wanting to buy is on sale. (don't take their word for it; have them
check their computer system)

Message-ID: <000d01c23d0c$96e4e3c0$0500a8c0@swift>
Have a look at the meter (carrier level indicator) on this photo of an
excellent condition pre-WW2 RME 69.
http://www.nucleus.com/~jordana/rme69dials.jpg
Calibration is 0-72 db in six db steps, with a lower scale clearly in
S units, going 1-9 every six dbs.
The photo is good enough that you can read the "RADIO MFG ENGINEERS"
and the PEORIA, ILLINOIS, U.S.A. in the meter face fine print.
I think the RME 69 is mid thirties. This is back when you had to read
the manual to see what the knobs did. Notice the complete lack of
stamped lettering around the knobs.
http://www.nucleus.com/~jordana/rme69front.jpg
So the IDEA of an S unit being 6 db is quite a bit older than some
have put forward. Whether this one is any better than modern receivers
at displaying real signal levels is anyone's guess.
I'm intrigued as to what process was used to create the dial
calibration for the main tuning. Photo offset of a hand-drawn master?

Message-ID: <3D4F5EB7.2050503@tampabay.rr.com>
There was a barrage of comments related to CW being outclassed by PSK31
including the following which was typical of them:
"Digipan allows you to copy 2 PSK31 signals at once. W1SQLPSK allows you
to copy up to 20 (yes, twenty!) PSK31 signals at once."
I believe the problem, which you will in turn say is semantics, that a
lot of us have is that we feel statements like the above are just plain
wrong.
Why?
Because the OPERATOR is NOT COPYING the signals ... a machine is.
If this is indeed the direction we are headed I guess things like
contesting and WRTC are history - after all it will be which engineer
has access to the best components and can design the best boards for
their "decoders"
This is also the reason why a lot of us do not even both investigating
PSK31 - it isn't operating ... I also feel the same way about RTTY. If I
am not having to use my brain to decipher sounds and turn them into
contest exchanges, etc. it is not operating (to me) .
What is the sizzle, what is the romance, why bother?
Data exchange is not operating, IMHO. That's what the internet is for!
And I agree that it is possible to copy more stations at one time on CW
than phone - if you are really good!

A 6 dB division and intuitively the half, 3dB, have definitely a
meaning.
6dB equals a doubling in voltage and a four times the power, 3dB
increase a power doubling, and so on.
Everything loses meaning when the AGC voltage doesn't follow this
logaritmic law and a receiver is a communication equipment rather than
an instrument.

Well said Jim. When contesting or DXing becomes nothing more
than exchanging data between our computers, everyone being 599+ with
no more effort than plugging their laptop into their telephone jack,
then this hobby is dead for me. You only need to look at some of
the spots and talk messages on the OH2AQ Webcluster to see that we
are getting close today. Take a look at the VHF spots especially:
http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/144.html
http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/430.html
I'm not picking on these guys but here's just one of many examples:

When you can make a realtime sked using the internet, make "2-way QSO's"
without either operator actually having heard the other using WSJT at
VHF or QRSS at VLF, and then "confirm" it realtime, I personally have to
question what the point is. This just reminds me too much of nets (and
prompters on the low bands) where "2-way" QSO's could never have been
made without the assistance of a third party.
I maintain that contests are one of the few areas left in our
hobby that have not been corrupted by stuff like this, but this is why
fewer of us know how to S&P without a Packetcluster screen in front of
us. Everyone can be 599+ with no radios or antennas necessary if we
push this to the extreme. A monkey with a computer connection (there
already may be a few on this reflector IMHO) can be equally loud as
anyone else. Dumbing down using computer-to-computer QSO's is simply
the next logical step until we next decide not to bother with radios
and antennas at all. When we reach that stage, I'll be long gone.

P.S. I wonder what W1CW thinks about computer-to-computer QSO's?

QRL? Are you busy?

QTC? How many messages have you to send?
QTX? Will you keep your station open for further communication with me?
QRU would be no QTC to send and
QTX would be I have some but it's not a good time to send them.
There are a lot of unique things about the WAE contest:
a) only contest with QTC feature
b) the mult station in a M/O has no 10-min band restriction
c) S/O off times can only be taken in up to three time blocks
d) Scores "booklet" sent to entrants (mailed from Germany)

It's not true, Pete. The "phone" subbands actually separate analog
modulation (voice, fax, television), from "digital" subbands (RTTY,
Packet, etc). CW is permitted everywhere. CW operators can choose any
frequency that is free of QRM, regardless of mode.

Again -- the same error. There is no spectrum "set aside" for CW on HF.
All frequencies are allowed for CW.
Indeed, it would appear, from the comment made by the FCC official that
further expansion of analog modes is less likely. After all, if amatuers
start emphasizing more digital modes, then the increased demand of these
frequencies would support the digital subbands, not caused them to be
decreased.

>existing phone sub-bands now protect them, too.
Uh, it's vice versa. CW devotees should realise their best allies against
"phone QRM" are digital devotees.

This has been a topic of discussion before. I remember an article in the
last 15 years or so indicating that perhaps the best way to enhance
digital contesting is to develop a special protocol for contest exchanges.
Of course, such a mode would appear to further remove the human element
from contest operation.

The operator still has to read the signal on the screen. The operator
still has to reply with his answers. To me, the operator is still copying
the signals - he's using his eyes instead of his ears. Why is that
different than SSB, CW or anything else? It is not totally a
machine-to-machine QSO, the operator is still involved. It's the
operator's ideas and thoughts that are being exchanged, not the machine's
(if machines can even have ideas and thoughts - read "Godel, Escher, Back
- an Eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas R. Hofstadter.)

Some of us think that new things are adventures. I still vividly recall
my first QSO's on 160, 30, 17, 12 meters; 222, 432, 1296, 2304, 3456 etc.
MHz. And my first QSO's with RTTY, PSK31, MFSK16, etc. They were ALL
adventures!

My opinion is that data exchange is data exchange - whether you exchange
the data via spoken word, Morse code, written or typed message or
telepathy - it's still data exchange. RADIO is the medium - a signal sent
from an electronic transmitter to an antenna and then relayed via free
space, ionosphere, troposphere, EME or whatever, and then received at
another antenna and detected by an electronic receiver. If it's done that
way, it's radio regardless of the mode of communication used. I myself am
interested in all the modes available. But I should note that CW is still
my favorite and occupies 90% or more of my operating time.

Gosh, another thread being beat to death. Valid points from
both camps, but look fellas; this is a hobby. Some folks like
Vanila and some like Chocolate.
Another example, analagous to Pete's Sailboat came from
Chuck Yeager at the Oshkosh airshow on "Sunday Morning".
He mentioned that he had flown 2500 MPH, and that the F15s
and F16s were relatively easy to fly. He enjoys flying his
vintage P51 Mustang. As he said, That takes real skill, and
if you don't stay on top of it all the time, it will beat you up.

Hi Ronald:
I've done some more research. I'm using TR-Log. Jay
from Array Solutions provided a suggestion for filtering RF
noise.
The problem appears to be that the LPT port in this computer
can't drive the STROBE, PTT, CW, Radio A/B and one
paddle (DIT or DAH) reliably in the presence of RF.
I can see the PTT voltage levels varying a little bit on a
voltmeter, following the paddle keying. This is enough to
cause the PTT sensing in the audio switching to follow the
keying.
The radio A/B select is so marginal that adding a voltmeter
probe to one specific leg of the input circuit causes something
to go into oscillation!
I'm going to try a different computer, with a different LPT
port type. I suppose I should build an opto-isolated interface...
Thanks and 73,
Mark, KD4D

I haven't tried PSK31 yet, so can't comment there, but I have done some
RTTY. Normally I find myself in violent agreement with OJ on most things,
but this one is a big exception. There definitely IS an element operator
skill involved in RTTY--a HUGE element. Until you've been on the receiving
end of a good RTTY pile-up, you just can't appreciate what chaos is. There
are lots of good calls in that mess, but trying to pull out just one good
one can be quite a challenge. It's the kind of thing where a mediocre op is
likely to have a UBN rate that is just through the roof. (Right now I'm
living in dread of my UBN report from last winter's RTTY/RU, because I know
I'm one of said mediocre RTTY ops!) In addition, timing is
everything...just as it is in CW. I can listen to a really great RTTY op
(e.g. AA5AU) running a pile-up and see hear just as much beauty (well,
almost) as listing to one of the CW greats showing off their stuff.
In summary, my advice to OJ would be to give it a try sometime. I think Jim
just might discover a new challenge and have some fun. And, super op that
he is, I would expect that eventually--after he learned the needed
skills--he would work his way into the top 10 boxes. Say, didn't K5ZD do
just that a few years ago?

DON'T GO to this website. Something funny is going on. My
firewall stopped a connection request, something that should be
totally unnecessary for an ordinary .jpg file. I told the
firewall to deny the connection and the file would not download
without it.
It might be perfectly innocent but I've downloaded lots of .jpg
files and never had this happen. Color me paranoid, but
something's not right here.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CW/SSB/PSK31...
Message-ID: <20020806154246.15331.qmail@web13302.mail.yahoo.com>
This debate is like others along the same lines..
Both have dedicated camps of followers who have
passionate (and usually well-reasoned) points of
view and positions staked out. Neither will budge
(much) off their positions.
(An aside.. kinda reminds me of the Kipling poem
about the 7 blind men touching different parts of
an elephant and THEN describing the elephant.
Each was right, passionate, and accurate... but
they all lacked an overall contextual point of
reference.)
After having followed the 'CW/NO CW',
'CW/SSB/PSK/etc' debates.. one theme seems to be
constantly appearing - at least to my eyes.
The BIG difference between the two camps is the
level of human involvment in the effort to
successfully initiate, follow through on, and
complete the communications.
CW/SSB operations (without intervening
decisionmaking technology involved) INHERENTLY
make the human being an integral part of the
equation. You CAN'T do it without the human
being.
It REQUIRES a buy-in and a committment to
participate which axiomatically brings ownership
(with the subsequenct personal pleasure of
succeeding in doing) to the entire process.
Ownership involves investment and that requires
one to comitt to the investment which invokes a
personal comittment by the one who is invested in
he process.
The decision on 'go/no-go' and success/failure of
the mission is totally dependent on the decisions
made by the human being which further cement the
relationship and make that bond even tighter and
more personal.
In the case of technology driven modes such as
PSK/RTTY/etc. where the machine makes the
'go/no-go', 'success/failure' determination and
decision the human being is reduced to a lesser
role not having any real stake or buy-in to the
success or failure of the mission outcome.
The amount of commitment/involvement/investment
of self is reduced (or depending on the level of
automation/technology involved) basically
eliminated and therefore no real sense of
achievement or satisfaction.
If the mission succeeds, it is due to the machine
being the primary source of success.. if it
fails.. then the machine is responsible. All the
human did was tune a knob and press a
button/click a mouse and stand back out of the
way.
The success/failure is dependent on a 'thing' not
a person and that drives the value to the human
down to where it becomes just a commodity to be
used rather than something to invest in.
No personal connection.. no buy-in.. no
investment of self into the project.. little
comittment... therefore little pleasure in
success or desire to findout why things failed.
I AM NOT.. ANTIDIGITAL/AUTOMATED MODES! I believe
firmly that digital modes and all the wonderful
benefits have their place, surely. Let us use
them for their best purposes, of course. However,
I think we should try to keep the understanding
of WHY in mind whichwill help eliminate the
constant aruging about 'MY MODE'S BETTER'N YOUR
MODE BECAUSE....' OH YEAH! WELL *MY* MODE CAN
DO...."..etc..etc..
Just one hams humble and perhaps misguided
understanding.
Fingers are twitching!@ MUST BE TIME FOR A
CONTEST!

Unless you have spent some time operating RTTY contests please do not put down
those of us that do. It is not all machine nirvana and just watching the
equipment do everything. It still takes some brain power and close watching of
the screen to know when to switch decoders or change the settings and, to copy
partial print, shifted characters and other anomalies of RTTY.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] but are YOU really
There was a barrage of comments related to CW being outclassed by PSK31
including the following which was typical of them:
"Digipan allows you to copy 2 PSK31 signals at once. W1SQLPSK allows you
to copy up to 20 (yes, twenty!) PSK31 signals at once."
I believe the problem, which you will in turn say is semantics, that a
lot of us have is that we feel statements like the above are just plain
wrong.
Why?
Because the OPERATOR is NOT COPYING the signals ... a machine is.
If this is indeed the direction we are headed I guess things like
contesting and WRTC are history - after all it will be which engineer
has access to the best components and can design the best boards for
their "decoders"
This is also the reason why a lot of us do not even both investigating
PSK31 - it isn't operating ... I also feel the same way about RTTY. If I
am not having to use my brain to decipher sounds and turn them into
contest exchanges, etc. it is not operating (to me) .
What is the sizzle, what is the romance, why bother?
Data exchange is not operating, IMHO. That's what the internet is for!
And I agree that it is possible to copy more stations at one time on CW
than phone - if you are really good!
73, am not trying to start a fire just stating my opinion - granted it
is from someone who feels older than N6TJ.

Well - to each their own - and anything that gets people excited about
doing radio is good.
However, for this op, having the radio signals in my head is where
the fun is. Hearing those dahs come off the moon (with my ears) is
so much more exciting than seeing some kind of computer printout.
Would phone sex be a bad analogy?
I have no interest in pursuing any kind of operating where the human
isn't in the receiving loop.

A monkey with a computer connection and thousands to spend on radio gear,

Could somebody forward me this monkey's e-mail address.... I'm having a

Perhaps I just eat too many banannas, but I don't really think that all new

Not to mention the technical side. Setting up a top-notch RTTY
station takes more than plugging a key into the CW jack,
especially on the receiving end. And yet it's not rocket science
either; it can be done by most anyone who has the desire.

True of course, but still beside point for me. What we are doing
is using RADIO for communication. If you want real human
involvement in your communications, go talk to the neighbor over
the back fence. That far exceeds anything you can do with radio.
I'm trying to point out that we have a technically-oriented
hobby. Nobody gets their license because they want to improve
their people skills. For some operators just picking up a mike
or key is enough. For others, they become fascinated by the
technical details and pursue their interests to a fare-thee-well.
I'd guess I'm about halfway up the curve. I have a lot invested
in my station (time and money), but it pales beside what some of
the EME guys do. Or the very top contesters and DXers.
IMO, we are engaged in a technical hobby. The human interchange
is fun but secondary, and not the real driving force. YMMV and
probably does, but that's how I see it.

Message-ID: <000d01c23d94$9d050040$9b00a8c0@nt.charterne.com>
Lots of pro's and con's on this "issue" sparked by Trey's ambitious and
thoughtful ideas.
Most of the pro's and con's have been covered except for
family issues and career issues. These are issues that are not safe
to ignore.
Each year from about mid-January to the 3rd week in April,
I run a work marathon filled with issues of accounting, taxes, investments,
market trading, etc. Anyone in the financial services, tax or legal areas
has to deal with this. Some of us have more time and business
commitments than others.
In my case, it is almost impossible to make the time to operate in
both ARRLDX contests and CQWPX SSB. Fixing antennas is out of
the question, as is even thinking about the CQ160, Sprint or
anything else. Reviewing the log for typos (yes, I do this), and attempting
to write comments or contest notes stretches me almost to the breaking
point (as well as my family).
Now it is proposed that we have a 15 day deadline that for ARRLDX CW logs
will fall, depending on the calendar, either in the middle of ARRLDXSSB
weekend or shortly before it? It's just too soon in the middle of too much
going
on.
Perhaps this will be ok for others, but not for me. I also do not
understand how the difference between 15 and 30 days can be so pivotal and
crucial.
Let's first eliminate all the other sources of delays and deadlines before
we mess with this. Until and unless Congress changes our tax system and the
end of year work required to deal with it, a 15 day deadline virtually
ensures that I will have to make a choice between operating and not
submitting a log
or not operating at all.
I can't believe that this type of a choice, forced on the participants,
could be beneficial to any contest. For years we have waited many months
for the contest results. If instead of 7 months it will now take only 4
months, that's a great improvement! So why should it now be crucial to have
the results in 3.6 months instead of 4.0 moths?
I can wait, and I believe, so can a lot of the other participants.

Amen to that. Why does everything have to be (1) data rate, or (2) skill
involved? What IS this compulsion for speed?
CW is simply, pure FUN. (Remember when that was a sufficient goal?)
Before computers, and memory keyers, and electronic keyers, it was just
plain FUN listening to "fists". Anyone here remember those?
Some of the operators I was blessed to work (and know), like W3GRF, W3BES,
W4KFC, W6CUF, KH6IJ, W9IOP - they had unique FISTS. I wasted more SS time,
just sitting there listening to W4KFC run them at seemingly impossible
rates. Or the rat-a-tat-tat of KH6IJ. That was simply fun.
Even more recently, I wasted too much time in the 1984 CQ WW CW @ EA9KF
marveling at my friend N6AA @ 9Y4VT running Europe on 40 meters. Flawless,
and the skill all between the ears.
Computer screen, not required.
And Ville OH2MM @ EA8EA. You guys want to hear how the best does it?
I don't begin to purport to be as skilled as the afore-mentioned (as
everyone knows by now, I'm just perhaps more tenacious, and unfortunately
will out-last most of them), but when I'm running a pile-up from, say ZD8Z,
I envision myself as the conductor of a large orchestra (bear with me here,
guys). OK, it's your turn. And now yours, etc.
Done right, CW is music to our ears. That's it: CW is music. Anyone here
think they can come-up with something better than music?

>>> Anyone who can explain the merits of handing out QTC's in the WAE contest
Funny thing... I was thinking about this on my way home from work, hah!
Paul K4JA made an excellent point to Jerry KE9I and I after last
year's WAE SSB contest. We left a little too many unsent potential QTCs
on the table due to poor strategy on my part! I thought Sunday we would
be able to dump QTCs like crazy but that didn't work out.
QTCs usually contain info from 10 previous QSOs. Each QTC sent is
the same point value as each additional QSO. So assuming that you can
send off the 10 QTCs in maybe 1.5 to 2 mins (?) that would equate to
an hourly QSO rate of about 300-400. Even if sending 10 QTCs took
4 mins that would equate to an hourly rate of 150 QSOs/hour!
( 60mins / (time to send 10 QTCs in mins) ) * 10 = equivalent hourly QSO rate
And the rate "bump" works for both the EU and non-EU side of the contest....
Since we each get a point per QTC sent/recvd.
Now the punch line: You need more QSOs in order to send more QTCs!
Hats off to all the EU stations that are able to copy the QTCs sent at 30+ wpm!
Good luck everyone!
It should really be a lot of FUN...

Attention RTTY Contesters:
Working with Wayne, K7WM, the contest manager for NAQP
RTTY, I've come up with a survey on my website asking RTTY
contesters to express their opinion on whether or not 160M should
be added to the RTTY part of NAQP (like it is for CW and SSB).
Please only vote once. When you vote and place comments on the
page, they are sent to me in an E-mail. I will tabulate the results and
give them to Wayne. You don't have to make any comments, but
your callsign will be required.
I will publish the results on the web site and make an announcement here.
This survey will run one week and will be disabled on Wednesday, August 14th.
This is only a survey. I am guessing that it would take a very high result
FOR including 160M to have any thought about changing the RTTY rules
and that is not likely to happen IMO. But you never know.

Well, RTTY operators have been using 2 or 3 radios for quite some time.
And it isn't a difficult task to process multiple digital signals at one
time. There are PSK31 appliactions that do this today.
In fact, if we get beyond the limitations of a radio "audio channel"
there's no reason a digital radio couldn't decode 15 kHz, 50 kHz or even
an entire band worth of signals similtaneously -- something that would be
difficult or impossible with the human ear.

Very nice straw man you've knocked down there.
If anything, digital modes using FSK, PSK or other types of modulation
are easier to decode multiple instances similtaneously than OOK
(on-off-keying) modulations (like CW).

This is essentially Shannon's law. (Actually, the law takes into account
both the bandwidth and the threshold above noise -- the total area
therein defines the maximum information content that can be moved aross a
defined channel)
So, it follows that ANY mode (as you indicated) which has a narrow
bandwidth would be effective on these noisier bands.
One DISadvantage of CW is that the transmitter isn't always keyed. At
extremely low signal levels, it is hard to discern at the receiver when
the signal is present and when it is absent. For this reason, FSK and PSK
have a distinct advantage over OOK (CW) -- at least a 2 dB advantage.

I've never seen it in actual use, but there is an application called
RITTY, that apparently makes RTTY contesting very fast an effective.
There's also a RTTY contest application that works in concert with it.
I believe the future may have already arrived when you weren't
watching....

Guy,
Please name one NASA space mission in the last 40 years that has used
CW/OOK as a means of information transmission.
The "zero" state is exactly the problem with OOK. That's why it is
inferior to FSK, PSK or QAM.
Although PSK has a higher duty cycle than OOK, it has a 4 dB advantage in
the presence of Gaussian noise. One could reduce the power by half (3 dB)
over an OOK transmitter and still maintain a 1 dB advantage. If the duty
cycle of an OOK transmitter is 50%, the power consumption would be the
same, and still the PSK transmitter would have a 1 dB advantage.
OOK doesn't cut the mustard for space communications.

CW is music, but certainly not better than the music at Alpine Valley,
Wisconsin, this past weekend (instead of the NAPQ), when The Other Ones,
the remaining Grateful Dead, performed for two days at their
Terrapin Station show.
Were any other contesters there, and did you notice the callsign K6A
showing between Phil Lesh and Bobby Weir on their big screen projection?
If that's a clue that they plan to get their licenses, and use that
special call sign, and if they get as good at CW music as they are
with their current instruments, WRTC 20xx will likely have new
winners.

Interesting discussions about various modes. Wish it was a little closer to
the topic of contesting.
Since most contests are CW only, SSB only, or digital only (and a few are
CW+SSB), should there be a change?
What if there was a contest that wasn't single mode (or if multiple mode,
didn't reward with extra points for QSOs on each mode like IARU HF)?
Maybe that would help to answer the question of which mode works best in which
conditions. You'd have to choose the mode that would give you the best
combination of rate combined with ability to find new stations and work them
fast. That happens somewhat in the IARU HF, but there is no major contest I'm
aware of where CW and digital modes are both allowed (except Field Day, and
digital activity is fairly minor).

Prove it. I'll wait to see meaningful results or data before
I take your word for it. I've never seen any rates for RTTY that are
anywhere close to either CW or SSB rates. It would be interesting to
know what K3MM or N4GN (previous record holder) had for peak rates
but I would doubt they could be much above 120/hour even under optimum
conditions and with plenty of stations calling. Time for some facts
rather than more unsubstantiated opinions.

That would be a neat contest, though I wonder the extent to which you could
convince ops whose stations aren't already equipped to do the digital modes.
It is, of course, easier now with sound card applications that essentially
only require audio, PTT and control connections to a radio, but I imagine a
lot of ops won't bother even to do that (or if they have the requisite
connections, even to load the digital-mode application).
Be that as it may, PSK modes may be the answer to contesting during the
sunspot doldrums, or for those of us in the black hole...
Funny how the course of this thread changed from "which mode is technically
superior?" to "which mode is most fun?" I think it has been demonstrated
that PSK31 wins hands down in the technical superiority challenge but I'd
have to agree it falls dreadfully short on the fun-to-do scale. (I mean,
really, how can anyone contest the superiority of a mode that allows full
copy on signals that you can't even hear?)
That said, I will NOT be trading my Benchers for a PSK program anytime soon.

Message-ID: <0a6801c23e17$cad63100$09d0403e@field>
Inspired (!) by the recent debate on here about digital modes, etc. I
drafted the following editorial for the UK's Chiltern DX Club Digest (a
temporary distraction from working on IOTA Contest logs). But then I
thought, what the heck, some of you "Reflectees" might enjoy it too. If not,
the Delete key isn't far away ..
73 Don G3XTT
g3xtt@lineone.net
There has been a long-running debate on the Contests reflector recently
about whether digital modes such as PSK31 and WSJT (used on VHF for weak
signal work) are "real" amateur radio. Views, as you might expect, vary from
"CW is the only real mode" to those who believe the new modes will
eventually oust CW and SSB altogether. Indeed, there seems to be another
theory on the go to the effect that the FCC will eventually ban the
"traditional" modes altogether, as being obsolete, and insist that the
amateur bands only be used for high-tech modes. As always, I suspect the
real truth is far from either extreme.
Far be it from me to give a definitive answer, as there are obviously many
shades between the two extremes I have described. But it seems to me there
are several elements here, and to focus on just one of them is to hobble
this fascinating and broad-based hobby of ours.
Firstly, there is the aspect of amateur radio which lies in technical
experimentation (which increasingly nowadays means software rather than
hardware, that being the nature of the way technology has evolved). Amateurs
have a distinguished history of technological innovation, and to see
amateurs pioneering new ways of, for example, reliably achieving VHF/UHF
communication via the moon with much more modest stations than heretofore is
an example of real progress. It opens up low signal work to a much greater
community than before. Who knows, the professionals may have something to
learn from this too, as they did from packet radio and other advances. And,
of course, if radio amateurs refuse to adopt technological advances, we
might just as well still be using AM or even spark gaps. All this
experimentation, of course, helps also to hone our technological skills,
continuing amateur radio's role as a pool of communications specialists,
which employers can and do draw from (at least one UK employer in the
communications sector will automatically shortlist any job application from
a licensed amateur).
Secondly, there is the aspect of amateur radio which is public service,
perhaps less so in the UK, but very much so in the USA, the Caribbean
islands, and elsewhere. There is already an inquiry underway into why the
professional communicators were less than impressive in the aftermath of
September 11th, and we are all aware that radio amateurs played an important
role in plugging the gap. But supporting professionals in emergency
situations require that we be professional ourselves. This can mean, for
example, employing the latest technology, particularly digital technology.
However much we love SSB or CW, a packet message will almost certainly be
delivered with a higher degree of accuracy and, perhaps even more
importantly, with an audit trail.
Thirdly, there is the actual operating element. CW and SSB demand specific
skills (CW especially so), and employing those skills, especially in a
competitive situation (DXing or contesting) hones them, while giving us a
real sense of satisfaction. It is a moot point whether those skills are
transferable in the 21st century but, in a sense, this doesn't matter, any
more than whether a fly fisherman could be useful on a trawler. Some would
argue that the digital modes require no skill, as the operator isn't
actually listening to, and decoding the signals himself. Anyone who has
operated a digital modes contest is likely to disagree strongly; the
workload can be even higher than the traditional modes if a high QSO rate is
to be maintained. Certainly there are all the usual strategy decisions of
when to run, when to search and pounce, when to change bands, etc.
Fourthly, (lastly, or are there other aspects I should have mentioned too?),
amateur radio is very much a bridge between nations, perhaps one of its most
vital roles when there is so much suspicion and enmity around. Do the new
modes help or hinder? Amateurs have always argued that CW is great, because
even the poorest amateurs in emerging countries can probably buy or build a
CW rig. CW also goes a long way to overcoming language barriers. But wait a
minute. Who is to teach CW to those aspirants in the developing world. From
personal experience in Africa and elsewhere, probably no one. I could
equally argue that digital modes have real benefits. The amateur in a
tenament building with little or no room for outside antennas, and
surrounded by electrical noise from neighbouring appliances, may find HF
radio quite impossible. But the new modes, able to discern signals at much
lower levels, even below the noise threshold, may give his hobby a new lease
of life (indeed, for may amateurs, PSK31 has already done exactly that).
And who knows, in the not too distant future, real-time translation software
may totally remove the language barrier, bringing back into our
communications the thousands of amateurs who currently don't call us because
they are insufficiently confident in their use of English.
All in all, I believe that as a hobby we should embrace change as we always
have, while continuing, as individuals, to enjoy those aspects which
particularly appeal to us. Live and let live, as the old saying goes!

RTTY rates will never be higher than CW or SSB overall. The point is
moot. However, depending on the individual, RTTY rates can be higher
than in the other modes consistently.
For instance, my RTTY rates are always higher than my CW rates because
I've mastered SO2R on RTTY and not yet on CW even though I've
been CW contesting over 30 years.
The highest rate I've ever achieved as a single op on RTTY was 93 per hour.
I did this twice. During the first hour of the 2001 RTTY Roundup and the
2nd hour of the 2001 CQWW RTTY contest. Both were Low Power. I've
never achieved this rate on CW, ever, high or low power even though I've
tried. The problem with RTTY rates is that there are not as many RTTY
contesters as there are CW and SSB contesters. However, the number of
RTTY contesters is rising after every contest.

Hello fellow contesters;
I have read much of this thread on digital modes etc. There has been a lot
of talk along the lines of Chuck's post I am replying to. If we are talking
strictly about the copying of a signal, then yes, SSB and CW do require the
human component. However this discussion seems to miss what to me is a much
larger part of contesting - propagation, equipment, knowing your station,
knowing your personal limitations.
I personally have done a fair amount of SSB, CW and RTTY contesting. Yes,
when I do a RTTY contest I sit back with a burger in one hand and a beer in
the other, and occationally click the mouse. However, when there is a weak
one, I don't just give up and say "oh well, the machine can't copy it". I
read the text on the screen intently to see if I can find a prefix. I check
the clock to see if maybe there would be some other propagation mode that
might make sense (backscatter, skew path, long path etc) and try turning the
beam. Then I try a lower or higher antenna (even if it doesn't make sense).
I tweak the filters. I ask for fills. Often knowing to try these other
techniques brings the station up enough for the machine to do its work.
Sometimes this results in grabbing a mult, sometimes it isin't worth it -
just another DL. Before a contest I spend hours pouring over past years
logs of my station and other similar stations, planning, making band plans,
looking at current propigation conditions, deciding what band to be on when,
and beaming which direction. This often opens my eyes to wierd propigation
anomilies I can take advantage of, or a strategy that I tried last time that
clearly didn't work. It also allows me to make more balanced decisions
after a long night of 20/hr rates on 80M RTTY.
My point is that digital contests (at least RTTY) don't take the operator
out of the equation, it just relieves the operator from being the one to
copy the actual signal. There is still plenty of operator skill involved

Good idea because PSK contesting, IMO, is not fun at all (yet). Having entered
a good share of PSK contests, I can tell you that PSK31 is an excellent
conversational mode, but having nearly 20 years of RTTY contesting, I find PSK
contesting way too slow to be enjoyable. I no longer participate in PSK
contesting.
It's just not fun.
I believe the ARI International DX Contest is the only somewhat-major contest
that includes SSB, CW and Digital. When talking about Digital contesting, you
must think in terms of RTTY because any of the other digital modes are not
conducive to contesting at all. There is a mixed mode category in this contest.
I normally operate this contest RTTY only, and will occasionally work stations
with serial numbers several hundred higher than mine so I know these stations
are mixed. But the number of mixed stations appears to be low.
The CQ-M International DX Contest is SSB, CW and SSTV! There is no
combined SSB, CW & SSTV category though. There are combined SSB & CW
categories.
The Ukrainian DX Contest is CW, SSB & RTTY. The single op and mult op
categories are all mode only. But there is a RTTY only category.
For years, many RTTY operators have wanted RTTY included in the ARRL
10 meter contest (including me). I dabble in the CW part of the contest,
but like a lot of RTTY operators, feel we are missing out on the fun of the
ten meter contest. We feel the 28200-28300 section of the band could be used
for RTTY. They could still retain the mixed CW & SSB category and add
a RTTY only category for single and multi ops and reach more of the contesting
community as a whole. Even if RTTY was restricted to 28250-28300, it would
be better than having no RTTY at all.
I don't know that an all-mode contest category will ever be popular. I'm
willing to guess that at best, many of us are two mode contesters but not
3 mode.

Exactly. Contesting is NOT about which mode gives the most 'reliable
transport'. In fact, the more reliable the transport mechanics, the less
opportunity for the operator to get involved and make a difference. If I
want high-rate reliable transport, I'll use TCP/IP over fiber. If we're
talking about Health-and-Welfare emergency traffic, I'll take an
error-correcting mode with zero requirements on the operator.
Contesting is fun precisely because it's hard enough that there is no
guaranteed winning strategy and has enough variability that the game is
always different. By increasing the reliability of the communications, the
amount of variability, and thus, the fun, is reduced.

I can't sit quietly while this thread goes on.
Below, W4ZV suggests that because RTTY contest scores are
generally lower than their CW or SSB counterparts, he can
conclude that RTTY and other digital modes are slower and
have inherently lower rates than their CW or SSB counterparts.
I don't want to endorse AA4LR's software choices without
the necessary expertise, but I'd have to object to the closed
mindedness that W4ZV displays.
I'm a guy who "loves" the music of contesting, and for me that
means the chorus of SSB contesters, the symphony of CW,
and the grand combinations found in contests like the CQP.
But, for me, modern RTTY contests are like sheet music.
Sheet music just doesn't have the same sound as music that's
being performed. But, old time RTTY contests with the old
Model 15's kerchunking away rhythmically-- now that was
percussion.
Be that as it may, I'd still have to object that with sufficient
activity and technical advancement the digital modes have the
potential for much higher contest score yields than CW and
SSB. There's simply not enough digital mode contesting to
drive the scores up. Perhaps this is because many digital
mode contesters are active on CW and SSB while only a
fraction of CW and SSB contesters are active on digital
modes.
When I began contesting, and W4ZV as well, the record
high CW scores for most contests typically eclipsed the
phone scores just as the record high phone score he lists
below eclipses the RTTY score. How quickly he forgets.

Very interesting.
This topic has come up before -- why not include RTTY on 160m?
Traditionally, hams have found that 45 baud RTTY doesn't work so hot on
160m. The reason for this is the same reason that 300 baud packet doesn't
work so hot on 40m, and virtually not at all on 80m.
The specific problem has to do with the nature of the communications
channel on HF, well below the MUF. At these frequencies, there will often
be several propagation paths between two points. This multipath
propagation produces some interesting effects, including the observed
fading of the mark or space frequency.
There is one other effect -- multipath distortion of symbols. Since each
path has a slightly different distance, each change in the digital signal
arrives at slightly different times at the receiver. As you move further
below the MUF, the effect is much more pronounced. At some point, digital
symbols are smeared together, and cannot be easily separated.
Higher symbol rates (300 baud) show this effect at higher frequencies. 45
baud RTTY has been used effectively for many years on 80m -- but not on
160m.
The solution is simply to increase the symbol length. For single-bit
modes like Baudot RTTY, this would also decrease the information rate.
But, better to get the information across slowly than not at all.
PSK31, with it's lower symbol rate, may be more effective on 160m than
conventional Baudot RTTY. Slowing RTTY to 30 or 22 baud ought to be more
than sufficient to make reliable communications possible on 160m.

_________________________________________________________
There is another compensating factor on 160 meters which reduces
many of the effects that Bill mentions: Most 160 meter QSOs are
at a shorter distance than on the higher frequencies. The closer
the two stations, the less chance for multipath distortion.
Granted, if you tried to work a station half way around the world
on 160 meter RTTY, it would probably be a mess, if it even could
be done. But half way across the country ain't that bad. I only
have eight 160 meter RTTY QSOs in the log, but I don't recall any
particular difficulty with any of them. The farthest one was
about 1500 miles.
I'd like to give NAQP or some other contest a try. If it really
doesn't work, we can always go back.

I am thinking out loud here, but I do have some small experience with data
recovery in a difficult channel...
There are many ways to solve the problem (other than increasing the symbol
rate), even within the existing protocol. In general, the trick is to
correctly characterize the error function of the channel and to compensate
for this during transmit and/or receive.
Seems to me that if we set up the challenge of 160m for the folks who write
the RTTY software, we may very well end up with an improved product on the
other bands.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] WAEDC-CW this weekend!
Message-ID: <200208090659.g796xs102099@dl6rai.muc.de>
Hello Contesters!
The 48th WAE-DX-Contest is scheduled for the upcoming weekend, August
10/11 for the telegraphy portion. Operation is restricted to the
five classic HF bands from 10 to 80 meters. Exchange RST and serial
number. If you want to get serious, check out the rules, which are
published on the WAEDC Web site at http://www.waedc.de. Be sure to read
the chapter about QTC traffic.
There are minor changes in the rules in respect to previous years:
new DX multipliers for EU participants, a low power category, markup
of unassisted OPs, no more 10 minute QSY rule for Single OPs and
other little changes.
For the EU's:
Activities from some rare spots have been announced for the contest:
9Y4/DL5MAE, 5B4AGN, 9K9O, FR5FD, HS0/OZ1HET, JY9QJ, PJ2M, VP2V/N2WKS,
YB0ECT, ZL6QH and ZS4TX. Remember that at this time of the year,
stations in the southern hemisphere are enjoying good and quiet low band
propagation and so interesting QSOs can be made during WAEDC-CW with
South America, South Africa and Australia/New Zealand on the 80 m band.
For the non-EU's:
Several of the rare EU countries are expected to show up in this event.
Tune the bands and watch out for the 3A, C3, CU, GD, GJ, SV5, SV9, TK
and ZA stations! It is a good time to improve your DXCC totals. Join the
fun by sending QTCs back to EU stations. You don't need a big station
for this, everybody will want you even if you only have a tiny signal.
If you want to listen in on how QTCs traffic sounds, take a look at the
WAEDC Web site where some MP3 files of last year's QTC traffic are
available.
Last minute information is available on the WAEDC Web site
at http://www.waedc.de.
See you all during the weekend!

http://home.woh.rr.com/wpx/breakown.htm
Interesting to see that there were 109 checklogs!
That is more entrants than 12 other categories (63%):
SO10HP, SO15HP, SO20LP, SO20HP, SO40LP,
SO40HP, SO80LP, SO80HP, SO160LP, SO160HP,
QRP, MM
Does this show that all the extra categories might not
draw enough participates to warrant the extra categories?
Has the WPX gone too far in having too many categories?
73, Eric

My TS850S repair web page has several new updates to it (thanks to
people like you who are contributing). I know a lot of people use
this radio in contests - and it is a very good value these days as
you can have a great radio with filters for under a kilo-buck on
e-bay.
Please check it out - there are many well known common failures that
are discussed.

And Bob is not commenting the single band scores in the magazine anymore.
But there is at least one single band score I would like to point out, check
this:
28MHz
HC8A 3.916.600 6957 39 161
(op N6KT)
That's almost 7000qs on 10 meters! (And almost 4 million points)

Message-ID: <004001c24188$8258a380$84abe4d8@bendcable.com>
I am looking for a small rig to take on a low pressure DX-pedition.
The country's power limit is 150W. The obvious answer is one of the smaller
"mobile rigs' IC706, TS-50S, FT-100, etc.
My question is which of the above is the best CW rig for a multiple
transmitter environment? I do not need 2m or 432 but 6m would be nice.

HI!
As far as I know the best small radio is ic706mk2g (price performance), but
depence what you need and like. If you do not want to spent much money ic735
would serve also!

QTC copy is much more enjoyable if traffic is sent in a smart fashion.
No need for repeated hour or leading zeros in received serial numbers.
UA9s are very good at that!

Hi Jim
It's plain to see you have never operated a RTTY contest. CW
contests are FUN, but so are RTTY contests. You have to make the
same decisions in either contest. When to change bands. Moving
guys from band to band. When to run and when to S&P. Run 2
radios or 1 radio. Catching that LP opening on 10 meters for a
quick couple of new ones. The excitement of seeing (or hearing)
a "goodie" come back to me is the same, no matter what contest or
mode it is. Try it, you'll like it!! Now PSK31, that's a horse
of a different color. Not much fun talking to a buffer in
someone's computer. 73

The 100W version of the Elecraft K2 is the best small CW rig, hands down, if
you can get your hands on one - or if you have the time to build one before
the trip.
I would not recommend the FT-100 for multi-tx: it seems to have some sort of
low-level broadband noise it spits out that is enough to really annoy other
nearby rigs. Filtering will clean it up, but that would seem to defeat your
size purpose. Other than that, the 100 is a pretty nice rig.
hope this helps - 73 - jeff wk6i

Tom is right on the ball with his answer Jim. I love cw also, but one
of the most fascinating things about RTTY is you never have to hear a
single sound. Just sit there with the mouse and go go go.
Plus, you won't wake up Monday morning to "diddle diddle" ringing in

Come on and give us a try, you find the RTTY folks are about the

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0208121437370.2899-100000@fresno.akorn.net>
Contesting.com & eHam.net Users
I have been hosting the Contesting.com and eHam.net web sites and mailing
lists on my network since 1996. In the beginning, my company (Akorn
Access) provided the hosting for free. Since we started the eHam.net web
site two years ago and began to accept advertising, eHam has been able to
pay a small amount each month toward the hosting costs.
Today, eHam.net and Contesting.com steadily consume more than a T-1 of
bandwidth. Combined, the two sites deliver well over 4 million pages and
push more than 200 gigabytes of data each month. The success of both
sites and all of the mailing lists are demanding more and redundant
bandwidth. However, we face the question of how to pay for it.
The cost to host this level of bandwidth most anywhere else would exceed
$2000 per month. eHam is currently able to contribute only $250.00 per
month, leaving Akorn Access out of pocket for at least $23,700 per year.
In the past, I have been able to cover these costs because Akorn was doing
well enough in other areas and the utilization was not as high. With the
recent slow down in the economy and our changing Internet access business,
Akorn is unable to continue this level of support. Additionally, many
potential advertisers are engrained in their print advertising, and refuse
to acknowledge the Internet as a viable method of promoting their
products. Although we continue to sign up new advertisers, they are not
coming (and funding the site) at the same rate as the bandwidth
utilization.
So, with regret, I'm reluctantly forced to turn to the users of both sites
for ongoing assistance.
We have an annual subscription program at eHam.net for users to help pay
for the site operations. We don't define the amount of the subscription,
but rather suggest that each user define for themselves the site's value,
and consider their own financial ability to subscribe. We suggest
comparing how much time you spend reading QST or CQ magazines with how
much time you spend reading eHam.net, Contesting.com, or the various
mailing lists when making your decision.
You can help by subscribing at http://www.eham.net/cart/product/111. If
you are unable to contribute by credit card, you can send a check to
eHam.net, 5095 Hamptons Club Drive, Alpharetta, GA 30004.
Many thanks & 73
Bill Fisher, W4AN
PS - I should also point out that we have many volunteers working on both
Contesting.com and eHam.net who receive no compensation at all. These
folks volunteer their time to provide the rest of us these services. A
list of volunteers can be found on both sites, and it would go a long way
if you would write just one of them expressing your appreciation for their
time.

Hi Dick
Beware the IC706 in a multi rig environment. Steve G3VMW and I tried this a
few years ago and it was horrible. The 706 meets it's small size spec by
missing out some pretty important stuff....filtering! As a consequence the
706 generates some very significant broadband synth trash as soon as you go
to transmit....even with the key up. This problem stopped us using 706's on
DXpeditions where there was to be more than just one station on the air.
The TS50 doesn't seem to have this problem but it doesn't have 6m. I have no
experience of the FT100.
Roger G3SXW and I have used TS570s very successfully in multi-station
expedition set ups but they are rather larger than the radios you've
mentioned.
My own DXpedition rig of choice is now easily the Elecraft K2/100. No 6m
but boy what a radio. Superb rx performance and excellent QSK. Again a
little bigger than the 706 etc but still only 8 x 8.5 x 3 inches and easily
fits in hand baggage. It comes in kit form so you have to build it, though
if you wanted to buy one ready made I think you could find one easily with a
mail to the Elecraft reflector. There are folks out there who are in love
with just building the things!
Have fun.

Hi Pete!
I think Ham Radio carries them for about $1000. Before
spending that, you might consider their software version called
World Watch which lists for $50. http://www.geochronusa.com/
Depending on what you want to do, there are better
software programs available IMHO. I use one called DX-Aid
which costs $25...see some plots here:

Hi all,
I'm writing up the ARRL DX Phone contest reports for both QST and the ARRL Web
site. I'm looking for stories, scores, tall tales, photographs, and interesting
tidbits from the contest.
DX perspectives have been under-represented in the past, so with the expanded
coverage available on the Web I'd like to feature more material from outside NA.
I am also open to good ideas for the writeups in general - is there a topic
that should be covered or a new perspective? On the Web site, we can also
publish some sidebar-style digressions that tackle a small topic
in-depth...authors welcome!
Please send your suggestions or material to n0ax@arrl.net!

I also recommend Geoclock (both Windows and DOS versions):
http://www.geoclock.com/
We use it at KC1XX on three computers in the corners of the room. A lot
cheaper than Geochron!

There's never been a contesting column in QST.
Contest results, as it happens, usually come out at least once each month,
so there is almost always contest content in each issue of QST, but there
is no regular column where content not related to the results of a specific
contest can be discussed.

Can't miss what we never had.
There's been a Contest Corral listing upcoming contests in QST for years.
But, I don't remember and, after going back to 1998 mags, don't find a QST
contest column or anything similar to K1AR's column in CQ.

As I look at my September 2002 QST, I see the following:
1) There is a contest related story thanks to W1WEF.
2) There is a contest write-up and line scores for RTTY Roundup
3) There is a contest write-up and line scores for 10m contest
4) There is a contest write-up for School Club Roundup with scores
5) There is a contest corral department. This is where the other items
mentioned above are also listed (DX, Public Service, QRP, etc).
A quick count shows that the above stories occupy roughly 18 pages of
QST. There are 160 pages in this QST. That means that 11% of this QST
contains contesting info.
Also, as I look back at other recent QST's... I don't see anything that
is now missing or different.
I am generally fairly observant but maybe I missed something?
Perhaps someone could say that if contesting is going to get 1 page in
QST (the department section) is the contest corral the best use of our
one page? But that is a different question/debate.

I heard that a new Multi-Two category is being added to CQWW, but I
can't find the 2002 rules on cqww.com or any other website. Anybody
knows about that? Any details?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Small rig - Summary
Message-ID: <00a801c244e7$4d067c40$84abe4d8@bendcable.com>
The purpose of my question was to determine which small 100W rig was best to
take on a DXpedition where all rigs would be fairly close together but all
limited to 100W.
My thanks to all 25 who responded.
The hands down winner was the K2-100. 13 votes and it was not even on the
list. Clearly it is the best in a large signal environment and is a super
rig on CW.
The FT100 and IC706 each got some votes but also as many poor marks for
signal handling and for broadband noise and/or spurious trash on TX.
The best of the three rigs listed in my original inquiry was the TS50,
especially since they can be had on the used market for as little as $350,
and got positive comments in the recent VP8 write-ups.
Single votes were cast for the JST245, IC740, and IC736.
Now all we need is some of those small 20+A switchmode supplies, and we're
ready to fly. Anyone want to offer opinions of these? Alinco, Astron,
MFJ...?

Any suggestions of how to work and log NJQ and NAQP simultaneously? NAQP
will be on SSB for 12 hours from 1800Z on Saturday.

K9TM and I have used the 30A Astron switchers for numerous contest trips,
FD, and around our home shacks with no issues.

Is anyone aware of a Cabrillo compatible equivalent to
CT's QRATE? QRATE analyzes a complete log and yields highest
rates per hour, 10 minutes and 1 minute.

Check out the Samlex America supplies-light in weight, small footprint, no
meters, remove a jumper and it'll run on 240 V and inexpensive to boot.

The purpose of my question was to determine which small 100W rig was best to
take on a DXpedition where all rigs would be fairly close together but all
limited to 100W.
My thanks to all 25 who responded.
The hands down winner was the K2-100. 13 votes and it was not even on the
list. Clearly it is the best in a large signal environment and is a super
rig on CW.
The FT100 and IC706 each got some votes but also as many poor marks for
signal handling and for broadband noise and/or spurious trash on TX.
The best of the three rigs listed in my original inquiry was the TS50,
especially since they can be had on the used market for as little as $350,
and got positive comments in the recent VP8 write-ups.
Single votes were cast for the JST245, IC740, and IC736.
Now all we need is some of those small 20+A switchmode supplies, and we're
ready to fly. Anyone want to offer opinions of these? Alinco, Astron,
MFJ...?

Here's my $.02 worth. I've had a SAMLEX SEC1223 (20A continuous, 23A ICS) for
almost 3 years. It probably has 1000 hours on it because for a couple of
years I used it to run my FT990 at home and it was turned on 24/7. A couple
of years ago, it was relegated to being the traveling power supply
accompanying the 990 for trips after I acquired my FT1000D. Most recent
contest uses were FDin PR thus year as NP4A where it ran the GOTA station,
and CQ WPX CW 2001 as FO8DX. In the latter case it ran on 220V (well actually
240V) from a generator.
I have nothing but praise for the unit. It's never let me down, even when it
was literally too hot to touch. (High temperatures, high humidity and a high
duty cycle in French Polynesia will do that).
Some RF noise, but above 40M it's tolerable being some 30 to 40 dB down from
the usual signals.
And the best part, it's the cheapest of the bunch at a street price of $99.95

Yep.
CBS by K5KA.

All you need to do is use the column offset variable on the command line.
For example, on my latest NAQP CW Cabrillo log, the following works just
fine:

NA does support the dvp. It can not use nettsr.
With ct an Ethernet switch should work ok with nettsr, but it shouldn't
provide any advantage over a hub or 10base2 coax lan unless you are on a
network that is already congested with other traffic. Also with a hub
or switch you are more likely to have rf problems.

You *can* use QRATE with Cabrillo files.
Just hack out the text at the top and the bottom of the file,
and resave it as say rate.txt, and run the prog. normally. From
memory the time column is at position 25, but do double check
that! Works just fine for me.

QRATE works with any ASCII file, including Cabrillo.
Use a command line like this:
RATE YOURCALL.LOG RATESUMM.TXT 17
Works great!

Message-ID: <3D5E4C12.6000708@gte.net>
The September/October issue of NCJ went to the printer on August 9. It
should hit the streets in the first week of September.
This issue includes the first part of a WRTC2002 article, several
articles about contesting activities at Visalia and Dayton, a Beverage
antenna article, a review of DX Atlas, an article about setting up your
PC to easily run old DOS programs along with WINDOWS programs, an
article about the old Connecticut Wireless Association, CQ WW SSB 2001
from D4, and a twin spin on the PA QSO Party. The station profile is
about one of our VE friends, and the people profile is about a
well-known Western Pennsylvania contester. And of course we have our
regular columns.
We're working on more WRTC2002 articles for the Nov/Dec issue, along
with other interesting features. Be sure to visit our web site
(compliments of WA7BNM) at www.ncjweb.com

Subject: [CQ-Contest] What Is a Contact?
Message-ID: <002401c246ce$85faab00$1e7ef3d8@n7df>
I read the World Above 50 MHz column by W3EP in September QST with great
interest.
The practice of so many stations of not sending their call with each contact
has been a sore point with me for some time.
One thing he missed in his write-up is that sending your call with each contact
is actually an FCC requirement.
?97.119 Station identification.
(a) Each amateur station, except a space station or telecommand station, must
transmit its assigned call sign on its transmitting channel at the end of each
communication, and at least every ten minutes during a communication, for the
purpose of clearly making the source of the transmissions from the station
known to those receiving the transmissions. No station may transmit
unidentified communications or signals, or transmit as the station call sign,
any call sign not authorized to the station.
If the contest sponsors were to do their job correctly, they would include this
requirement in the contest rules and disqualify any station that violated it.
Likewise, DXpeditions should be disqualified from accreditation for violation
of the requirement.
What I would like to see is a special group of Official Observers (or their
equivalent) who would monitor contest operations and DXpeditions for violation
of this FCC regulation. If several such observers simultaneously reported
repeated violations then the station should be disqualified.

Message-ID: <000c01c246f1$43781100$a0484140@delta>
I have used the Samlex SEC1223 and Astron 25 and 30A switchers
on several DXpeditions. I've used them on 240V (the Samlex) and 120V
both on foreign commercial mains and on generators.
I have had a number of failures of the Samlex and a couple on the Astron.
However, I cannot attribute the failures to specific causes except possible
WX and environment exposure to the Astrons (Kingman Reef).
I like the Astrons for their meters which can help sometimes in
troubleshooting (or assurance monitoring) in the field. I had one failure
of the set-screw head of the DC power connector. I'll be interfacing a
RigRunner DC strip stuck on top for distribution (though I dislike their
using the same rated Anderson Powerpole connector for the input
as all the outputs...and wonder about their marketing/sales strategy
of telling people that, "It's okay- they'll handle a lot more current than
the manufacturer rates them at". Can we read, "Sue job". Granted, we
are not likely to have problems in typical amateur usage.
I like the Samlex for the their small size, weight and price. When I
convert them to 240V I put a label outside noting that fact and
cable tie the jumper inside to some adjacent wiring so it won't get
lost and is available.
I would still buy either model but so far have had better luck with the
Astrons. I don't have any experience with other brands other than
the internal switcher supplies that Icom used to sell for the IC751/745,
etc. For awhile those where the only ones available until the Samlex
and another one from Electro Automation? (don't recall the name)
came out.

That may work for stations under fcc jurisdiction, but not all countries
have the same identification requirements. There are also already
plenty of OO's who can send notices about identification problems now.
If you want to spend your contest time policing fcc rules, you are free
to do that and report what ever you find to the contest committees
and/or fcc for action, personally I have better things to do during a
contest.

The Samlec SEC 1223 works well at 20A, is easily switched to 110/230v, and
has no RF noise I can detect. Small, low price, recommended -- I have three

Actually the rules require identification after each "communication"! IMHO,
a contest is a "continous" communication, and only ends when the advertised
time frame has elapsed? Therefore, "at least every ten minutes during a
communication" is not necessarily efficient, but within ?97.119 Station
identification FCC requirements.

A jailhouse lawyer like myself could have a field day with this
one. Your original question was "What is a contact". I might
ask "What is a communication". Is it an exchange of information
with one station, or with more than one station? I'm sure there
is no shortage of interpretations, but only the FCC's
interpretation counts, and that seems to be lacking.
Looking at the rule as a whole, I believe the correct
interpretation should focus on the last part which states the
purpose of the identification. The FCC wants identification
every ten minutes AND at the time of going QRT. I don't read it
as being needed after each QSO. But hey, I haven't passed my
jailhouse lawyer bar exam either... :-)

Isn't that (one contest=one communication) pushing it a bit?
My understanding is that a 'communication' is a QSO.
According to The FCC Rule Book (ARRL, ISBN: 0-87259-245-6), page 6-4, the
Q&A explains that "legally, you have to ID only at the end of the QSO and at
least once every 10 minutes during the course of a QSO."
I accept the ARRL interpretation of the rule, since it was edited by Richard
Palm, K1CE, and he had a FCC staffer (John Johnston, W3BE) assist with the
editorial production of the book.

I found it. It is SAMLEX, not SAMLEC.
http://www.radiodan.com/misc/samlex1223.htm. Several dealers. The SEC 1223
seems to be priced from $89 to $99. Is one pound lighter than the Astron
SS-25 and much less expensive.

True, but contest sponsors are free to impose any additional rules they
wish, above and beyond FCC rules, and apply them to all participants
regardless of country.
IMHO adding such a rule in all contests would be a good thing. It already
exists in the Sprints and I don't see anyone complaining.
During a DXpedition, it is simply annoying to have to listen to a station
for 5 minutes before he IDs. During a contest, it is exceedingly
discourteous to the callers. At least the ones who are serious participants
in the contest.
=================================================================
"Contest OOs" are another issue. Actually I think that's a good idea too.
Everybody knows there are stations out there doing things they should get
disqualified for, but the chances they *will* get DQ'd are essentially zero.
It would not be easy to implement, especially on CW where anyone skilled
enough to catch violations would probably be participating in the contest.
It might be worth discussing though.

Congratulations to the gang at W5NN for a SUPERB VICTORY once again. This
time in the NAQP SSB M2 category.
The little station that could again comes through beating the Goliaths to
win nationally.
Unfortunately I was personally unable to operate due to other committments,
but the other guys again prove that big money, big towers, and big antennas
do not by themselves insure victory.
What is required for victory no matter where or with what someone operates
is hard work, and the knowledge required for the particular contest.
This is another testimony for all the small contest stations out there to
keep on trying. Victory can be attained with relatively modest stations.
Mike, once again, my hat is off to you. A job well done....an intelligent
contest plan pulled off with perfection. Way to go !!!!
Hey Mike, is your middle name "RODNEY" ?

At what point do we say enough with new rules? If we addressed every little
gripe on this reflector with a new rule, contest announcements would be
about as brief as War and Peace. The periodic reprintings of ARRL General
Rules would bankrupt the League. Serious stations would need to retain
attorneys just to figure it all out. Is that how far we want rulemaking to
go?
Certainly there are some blatant non-identifiers, but most stations that I
hear who don't ID after every QSO (and I think the jury is still out on
whether that really is what the FCC intends to stipulate (not that I need to
give one whit about what the FCC wants, unless I'm operating in the U.S.))
do tend to manage their pileups and their identity very well. My experience
in 20 years of contesting suggests the people like W9WI refers to are in the
vast minority.
If you tune across someone who isn't ID-ing as frequently as you would like,
it is likely because he knows that the people who were already in the pileup
know who he is. His failure to ID is possibly in some way a bonus to the
stations who got there first. It may be discourteous to the folk who are
newly tuned in, but it's not discourteous to those already calling.
But if you intend to be efficient about S&Ping, you should NOT be sitting
there long enough to get frustrated by his lack of IDs! Tune on, come back
later, dial him into a Quick Memory, plot him on your bandmap. BUT KEEP
WORKING STATIONS. Contests (like life) are too short to get your coax in a
knot over stuff like this. It only hurts your rate. If you can't work him
because he doesn't identify enough, DON'T! Don't let something like this let
you take your eye off the ball. Chances are by the time he does ID, he'll
just end up being the umpteenth zone 13 station you've worked anyway..
The worst thing you can do is be one of the loudmouth louts who yells
"WHAT'S YOUR CALL?" You're just interfering with those who already CAN work
the guy, and the law is quite clear on the legality of premeditated
interference. These folks are also hypocrites of the highest order, since
they don't include their callsign in their missive. Perhaps we need a rule
about that, too.
Sprints are unique, and require unique rules, because of the QSY rule. In
contests that actually allow running, the need for a rule about IDing is
less evident. If you don't like how someone is operating, don't work him.
Vote with your feet. Unless it's SS and the offending station is in VO1 or
VE8, there will be other mults, certainly there will be enough rate to make
up for it. But if enough people vote as you do, the other station will run
out of people to work and be forced to re-evaluate his operating technique.
You may believe that in the U.S., the quoted FCC regulation makes not IDing
after every Q against the law. I remain to be convinced. But even if it is,
remember, jaywalking is also illegal. In some places, chewing gum in a
public place is illegal. So is, in some areas, backing out of a front
driveway. But you know what, the world doesn't grind to a halt over any of
this stuff. The key here is perspective.

Yessirreebob. There's nothing like poor operating practices (the
hypocrites) piled on poor operating practices (the no-ID'ing station) to
make it a fun pileup.
Some/many/most of those asking his call may also be those who could and did
work the guy...but, then asked the question over and over and over again
because they don't know his callsign either!
I like the idea of all contests having a simple rule requiring both calls
within a QSO.
Seems to me to be more efficient for all concerned.

My attitude is exactly the same. I either skip working the station that does
not ID or just call him and when/if he comes back give him 59001 and ask him
his call sign.
That cost him few extra seconds to give the call sign and few more to make
sure I got it. If I do not get the call sign he is not in my log and will
loose points for two more QSO. If he does not meet my demand for his call
sign and does not put me into his log - he has still lost some valuable
time. It always works well. If every third station that gets through starts
asking his call he quickly gets the message.

QST did a review of several switching power supplies in the January 2000 issue.
The SS-30M had the "cleanest" DC trace with less than 20mVpp ripple and no
detectable switching spikes while the Samlex 1223 showed less than 30mVpp
ripple but 600mVpp switching spikes. Broadband noise is also 10 to 25db higher
on the Samlex supply. Surprisingly enough, the MFJ unit looks like it has the
lowest spectral noise of all the supplies tested! Spectral plots and trace
displays are in the report. You can download it from the ARRL site in the
members-only section. It's about 670K in size because it includes other
product reviews.
I've confirmed on my TS-850S/AT that you can hear the switching noise. At
Field Day 2001, we used a couple of Samlex 1223 supplies and my '850 would pick
up a 3 S-unit "bump" in the noise floor every few dozen kHertz on most HF
bands. The noise completely disappeared when we turned off the switchers and
used battery power. Although my '850 heard the noise, we weren't able to
detect it on 6 or 2 meters with a TM-255A 2M radio (with TenTec 1209
transverter for 6M). Nor was the noise discernable on Oak Hills or NorCal QRP
HF rigs (the '850 is known to have a VERY sensitive receiver!). I recently
purchased a Astron SS-30M, but haven't had time to test it yet with the same
'850. If anyone's interested, I'll hook it up sometime soon at home and post
results.

Message-ID: <d2.1cc9e3f5.2a93f994@aol.com>
The 2002 Ohio QSO Party will be this Saturday, August 24, from 16Z (noon EDT)
to 04Z Sunday (Midnight EDT).
Full details are at the OQP Web site, www.mrrc.net/oqp
Several items of note:
This year we have added an out of state club competition. No great prizes,
but include your club name with your log and contribute to the glory of your
club.
Several logging programs have added OQP support. Writelog now has a module,
courtesy of Steve, N9OH, which is available at:
<A
HREF="http://www.xnet.com/~sjwoodr/ham/modules";>http://www.xnet.com/~sjwoodr/ham/modules</A>
Free logging programs which support OQP include GenLog by W3KM, N1MM, and a
special demo version of NA. Links to all of these are available at the OQP
web site.
To promote high band activity, folks are encouraged to check 10 meters on the
hour of even GMT/EDT hours. If 15 meter conditions are like this past
weekend in NAQP, check 15 early and often. If the band seems to be in the
dumps, check it anyway on the hour of odd GMT/EDT hours. Keep in mind that
E-skip propagation can occur at any hour of this contest, so keep checking.
The Ohio QSO Party includes big activity from one of the biggest states, and
one of the best crew of mobile contesters of any state QSO party. We hope
you'll join us on Saturday!

Thanks to many who responded to this. FYI, I learned
that CBS by K5KA calculates rates AFTER dupes are removed, in
addition to several other nice analysis features. K5KA says he
"may" modify it later this year to do multiplier analysis for
DX contests like it currently does for SS (see K5TR's response
for SS examples).

Subject: [CQ-Contest] TS870 Band data output
Message-ID: <006b01c248d0$243a6780$d8840ec3@shack1>
I love my TS870 which is a great radio but which because of its lack of band
data to control antenna and filter switching has been relegated to secondary
use in favour of two FT1000MPs in my SO2R set-up. I did use the 870 for a
while with band data generated by the logging computer but I didn't find
that too satisfactory. The problem being that if the computer crashed band
data was lost and the 870 was potentially exposed to front end damage when
band pass filters etc dropped out of circuit.
Yesterday, I decided to see if I could find a way of modifying my 870 to
provide the band data output it lacked. I found it to be remarkably easy to
achieve but not as 4-bit parallel band data (Yaesu) rather as direct decoded
band data the like of which a band decoder connected to a Yaesu rig would
provide. It seems to me this is a way better deal. I don't need an
external band decoder for the 870. It will now directly switch my Array
Solutions Six Pack and my Dunestar band-pass filters.
If anyone wishes their 870 could do this I am happy to provide details of
this relatively simple mod.
73 and good contesting.

Is a rule necessary? Maybe not. Obviously there are many on the reflector
who feel not. There is definitely considerable sentiment among the
operators I know that failure to ID frequently is a serious problem. This
view is largely expressed by the "little pistols", the folks who spend most
or all of the contest S&P.
Obviously the FCC does not consider this a serious issue even if they do
feel their rules require an ID with each QSO. Really I don't think this
issue should be one for governments to be involved in. Certainly
participants in a round-table or traffic net don't need to be forced to ID
every time they stop transmitting.
But they aren't in a hurry either - nothing is lost if a would-be new
participant has to wait around a few minutes to find out who he's listening
to. We're different.
> Chances are by the time he does ID, he'll just end up being the umpteenth
> zone 13 station you've worked anyway..
Very true. It's the possibility he might be that South Sandwich station
nobody expected to show up, and the fear I might pass him up because I
thought it was LU6XXX who I'd already worked and who only IDd every 5
minutes.
Anyway, I have developed a strategy for dealing with this. I'm not going to
take my chances that the non-IDing station might be a needed mult. (or even
needed QSO) If I hear someone running, and I don't know, by hearing his
call, that he's a dupe, I'm going to call him. (no, I'm not going to
jeopardize my rate by continuing to call if he doesn't come back reasonably
quickly) If, when he comes back to me, he hasn't given his call, I'm going
to ask him for it.
(I'm of mixed mind regarding what to do if, after asking for his call, he
still fails to ID. One option is to keep asking him, stepping on other
callers if necessary, until he IDs. The other is to scratch the QSO. On
the one hand, that gives him a NIL - on the other since it's probably going
to flag as a dupe on his end, it's not going to hurt him significantly.)
Would you, in the NAQP, call "CQ NA", and then insist on exchanging RST,
rig, weather, and occupation before you give your name and QTH? Of course
not; that would be an amazingly discourteous attempt to have a good time at
the expense of your fellow competitors. Intentionally failing to ID
frequently isn't quite as blatant but IMHO it's a similar behavior.

Message-ID: <19c.7570357.2a94da9d@aol.com>
All--
This note it to give all of you a brief update on one of our favorite
subjects--CQ WW trophies. Here you go:
* All 2000 plaques have been produced and shipped. If you haven't received
yours, you will shortly.
* All requests for replacement awards that I have received have also been
produced and shipped. If you have not received an old award, now would be a
great time to let me know and I'll take care of it.
* The 2001 SSB plaques have already been ordered and should be available for
shipment in about 30 days. (thanks to K8DX for his assistance). The CW group
is right behind.
In addition, I have received numerous requests for duplicate awards, usually
multi-operations wanting plaques for each operator or a guest op wishing to
give an award to his host. If you are interested, the cost for each award is
$50. Send your request to me along with payment to: John Dorr, K1AR, 2
Mitchell Pond Road, Windham, NH 03087. I have my engraver a little
overwhelmed right now (she's processing nearly 200 plaques for me), so I
would guess the lead-time on these orders will be about 60 days.
We're making progress, guys. Thanks for your patience.
73 John, K1AR

the first instance of major ham radio company doing this sort of
thing to directly support contesting? I know Icom and Yaesu and
others have spent a lot to support DXing, but I haven't seen much
support for contesting before:

The Top Of Europe Contesters (TOEC) hereby has the pleasure to invite all
amateur radio stations world wide to participate in the TOEC WW GRID CONTEST.
The aim of the contest is to boost the interest for "Grid hunting" on the HF
bands, and to introduce a contest where it is more important to copy the QSO
message than in most other similar events.
Contest event:
CW: August 24 - 25, 2002
Saturday 1200 UTC - Sunday 1200 UTC
Exchange:
RST + Grid Field/Square identifier, i.e. 599 JP73 (two letters (Grid Field) +
two figures (Grid Square)).
Multipliers:
Each Grid Field (JP, KO, EM etc.) worked gives 1 multiplier per band.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Re: TS870 Band data output
Message-ID: <003f01c249a0$0271c280$159c0ec3@shack1>
A number of people have responded to my mailing requesting further details.
A few others responded pointing me to
www.dk9ip.de/DK9IPprojects/DK9IPdecod/dk9ipdecod.html and to
www.qsl.net/k0bx/ where information can be found on a similar mod for the
TS850. I guess this just goes to show that most things in life have already
been done! You just need to know where to find the details!
For those that asked I will describe the mod I have done. A look at the
above URLs will also be worthwhile.
My initial idea was to try to find a source of 4-bit parralel band data
(Yaesu style) within the 870. It doesn't exist as the 870 ships band data
around inside the radio in serial form. Of course this data has to be
decoded for the purpose of switching the selector relays in the Final filter
circuit. This job is done by IC1 on the Final filter board (TC9174F).
What I decided to do was to bring out 6 buffered switching lines for the six
HF contest bands to facilitate automatic switching of my Array Solutions Six
Pack and my six band Dunestars. I don't need lines for 30/17/12m but these
can be available for anyone that does.
I mounted a piece of .1 inch pitch strip board about 3/4 inch square on a
DB9 female connector. I did this by wedging the edge of the strip board
between the two horizontal sets of pins on the DB9 such that pins 1-5 of the
DB9 lined up on the centre 5 tracks of the 7 track wide strip board. Pins
1-5 were then soldered to the board. Pins 6 & 9 were wired with short wire
links to tracks at either edge of the board. I connected 6 npn switching
transistor collectors, one to each of pins 1-6 of the DB9 and all six
emitters were taken to ground. The bases of each of the transistors were
taken via a 5k6 1/4W resistor towards the back edge of the strip board to
which I attached a piece of ribbon cable.
I connected the other end of the ribbon cable to the collectors of Q10, 11,
12, 14, 15, 16 on the foil side of the Final filter board which can be
located top centre of the radio under a removable metal plate. The filter
board must be removed to make the connections. Connection is relatively
easy as Kenwood have located spare pads close and connected to the
collectors of these devices. In order to make the mod neat I didn't worry
about which of pins 1-6 on the DB9 related to which band. It turned out in
my case to be 1=20, 2=160, 3=80, 4=15, 5-40 & 6=10m. I used BC337
transistors which are good for switching up to 45V at close to an amp.
I removed the external auto ATU connector, which for me is redundant and
mounted my DB9 in its place. Anyone not wishing to remove this could
possibly feed the ribbon cable out at the back just under the case top.
I claim no rocket science here. This is just a simple mod that solves what
for me has been a significant shortcoming in the use of my Kenwood TS870 for
contesting. I pass it on to you for what it is worth.
73 and good contesting

Anyone knows what happened to LogPlus ? Used to be one of the best DOS
logging programs, then it was gone but it finally came back last year (
or early this year) with the announcement of Windows version. The
original site was www.logplus.com, then after the comeback it was on
logplus.org, but now it's gone again. Any info ?

Icom was a major supporter of WRTC '96, though I don't know what they may
have done for 2000 or 2002. In the beginning of our fund-raising efforts,
we were having a terrible time getting anyone in the industry to do anything
besides laugh at us and tell us how terrible the times were. Only HRO was
willing to help, kicking in a $10K donation to get us started. Then Icom
America got creative and donated a bunch of radios which we were able to
sell to raise funds. (By donating equipment instead of cash, they were able
to get around the watchful eyes of their JA overlords.) I don't recall
Yaesu's response to our requests, but I do remember Kenwood laughing us
right out of the room. I'm not a fan of Icom radios, since they can't ever
seem to get their CW output waveform right. But they have been a very good
corporate citizen in supporting the contest community

30 responses received. No pattern. Astron, MFJ and Sanlex all equal.
Everyone who has tried the small light 20/23A switches likes them for what
they are - small and light. They are usually not noisy -- several folks
said they are used in MM stations with no troubles.
One only thing they apparently do not like is power outages - over/under
supply. several comments on breaking them on island trips when the local
power dumped.
Thanks to all who replied.

Message-ID: <8d.1d123d10.2a96f160@aol.com>
Ah, the joys of living in Florida...another lightning hit. It looks like the
main xcvr, an Icom 775 is toast. The other 775 was not in line so it looks
like it is clean.
Insurance will be buying a new transceiver and since the 775 is approximately
the same price, if not more than the 756 Pro and the FT 1000MP5, it looks
like decision time. I loved the 775 and am tempted to get another. The
reliability and simplicity of use are great. I have also heard very nice
things about the 756 and the 1000.
I am primarily a phone contester and like the fact that both the 775 and the
1000 put out more than 100 watts which is handy for contests with the 150
watt limit. I do operate some CW and plan on doing more in the future but my
main love is SSB contests.
Some of the review posts suggest quality control is more of an issue with
Yaesu than Icom. More trips back to the shop, but some suggest the 1000 is
the ultimate rig.
My question is this: knowing what my operating habits are, if you were in my
shoes and price were no object, which of the three would you purchase and
why. Also which of the stock filters would you recomnmend. You can either
send the suggestions and critiques to me or post them. I am not trying to
start a war of Icom vs Yaesu, only to get a feeling from the community about
the pros and cons of each. .This should be interesting.
Thanks for the help.

Hey Bill,
There are a lot of super nifty radios out there. The most obvious
issue, to me, is similarity between your two radios. Personally,
I have minor problems moving between an MP and an MP MkV.
Many of the important push buttons are in different places, and
the DSP works on one radio and it's dog poo on the other.
If you are sufficiently mental agile, how about the new
Ten Tec, (Orion?) as the second radio? Amazing specs,
but no user reports yet.
Or, if you're really brave, how about the Elecraft K2 with
the 100W (and several other) additions. Mine has been on
loan far more than it has been here, but I fell in love with
it (at the five watt level) in the few hours that I've been
able to use it. Check it out. Would you FEEL competitive
with your rig about the same size as a big 2M box?
Neat problem you have. I look fwd to reading other
replies.

Message-ID: <20020823033513.93043.qmail@web13101.mail.yahoo.com>
10. State Map of Ohio, takes two to hold the map. Please don't do this while
calling cq or driving.
9. Radar detector for detecting highway patrolman. If pulled over still can use
excuse, "I am lost on my way to Dayton"
8. Rolls of Quarters. Good for paying the toll at the toll gate of the Ohio
Turnpike. "Also good for flipping to see who gets to ride shotgun"
7. Copy of OQP rules. can be also used if you run out of toilet paper cause you
are im-between exits. Remember to read them first.
6. Lemon Diet coke but remember to throw away the cans. Not good for anything
except making a large vertical antenna. use your imagination.
5. AAA Touring guide of Ohio. You can use pages not used for extra TP or
something to even out your mobile rig. but if you do get lost there is another
map incase your large state map blew out the window.
4. Book of Ohio restaurants, list will include Cracker Barrel, Arby's,Wendy's
Cracker Barrel, Bill Knapp's (now closed), oh yeah did I say Cracker Barrel?
Remember you can get a discount if you show your last years OQP log thanks to
K8MR.
3. Binoculars, good for making extra points in OQP. paragraph 4.2 seen in
rules says your get 3 points for making eye contact with a durgible. the list
contains such well knows as the Goodyear, Budweiser, and any other UFO that you
can identify correctly.
2. Amish cook book makes good reading material while im-between QSO's and
driving behind horse and buggy.
1. teleohone number to K8MR's incase you get lost.
good luck,73

Message-ID: <4.2.0.58.20020822233311.0099b640@mail.comcast.net>
Bill,
Dayton 1995. There I was, owner of two IC-765s which I was very pleased
with, and wrestling with the exact same decision as you. IC-775 or
FT-1000D? W8WD and I must have walked between the ICOM and Yaesu booths a
half dozen times.
My decision was compounded by the fact that I harbored an active dislike
for Yaesu radios. I owned (and still own) a FT-107M (the WHITE radio) with
which I won the 1984 ARRL ARRL DX CW from HR1DAP. Still, every other Yaesu
HF radio I used struck me as rather odd: FT-101s (any version), the FT-102
and any model of the FT-7x7 family. I harbored a secret fondness for the
FT-ONE which I got to use at N5AU in the 1982 CQWW, but it still had its
oddities and a huge price tag to boot.
I walked out of Dayton 1995 with a brand new FT-1000D. In the seven years
since I've acquired four more used ones ("Ya got a used FT-1000D for sale,
call K8CC - he'll buy it" :-)). Another FT-1000D is a long term guest in
the shack, courtesy of a friend on assignment in DL-land. This past
January I bought a used FT-1000MP from AES to see if I was missing
anything. Multi-multis consume lots of radios...
When I sit down to single op, the FT-1000D is radio I get behind. Compared
to my IC-765s, its a much better SSB radio which is what I was looking to
improve. The SSB crystal filtering of that era (dual 2.7 KHz filters
yielding a -6dB bandwidth of 2.4 KHz) was not narrow enough. The IC-775
struck me as a DSP wrapped around the back end of a IC-765.
I am a big fan of "simple to operate". In this regard, the FT-1000D is
better than the FT-1000MP, although I've gotten used to it by now. The
TS-950SDX IMO was the worst in this regard - lots of little knobs with
medium gray legends which were difficult to read.
K6KM makes an excellent point - if you're going to do SO2R, you really need
two radios of the same model. I did 1991 SS with one IC-765 and one
IC-761. Same front panels, but different controls in different spots. The
same condition exists between the FT-1000MP and MKV/Field.
So there are a few data points to consider. If all you can do is replace
the blasted radio, I'd get another IC-775. If you want simple to use,
150W+ and competitive capabilities, I'd sell the IC-775 and get two FT-1000Ds.
FWIW

There is some freeware that has been around for a long time by K4VX that
does a fine job for designing yagi's
It is available at AC6V's web site as well as many others .
If you can't find it I think I have it in a ZIP format.

Another option, which I use:
One FT-1000D and one FT-990. A used FT-990 can be had for under
$1K. It is basically the same radio as the 1000D, with an almost
identical layout. It doesn't have a second receiver, which is really
unnecessary in SO2R (unless you like listening to 4 receivers during a
contest!)

Bill:
Sorry about your rig.
Seems like it will help you a lot to answer two questions:
how important is it to have two easy to use rcvers operatable
simultaneously?
and, would you prefer to be able to shift rx/tx from ant1 to ant2
on the front panel, or would you rather be able to use ant2 for subrcvr
diversity reception?
I have the FT1000Mk5 which I like a lot for the 2 rcvrs and the ability to
push a front panel button to switch between rx+tx on either ant1 or ant2.
My FT1000D doesn't let you do that since ant2 is never a tx antenna. But
it does let you use the subrcvr to simultanteously listen on the second
antenna - really neat when you've got a horizontally opposed ant plugged
in ant1 and a vertical on ant2. If it matters to you, the 1000D looks and
feels like the most quality piece of equipment I've ever owned.
Happy to be corrected by others out there who have more experience with
these rigs,

Subject: [CQ-Contest] ICOM 775 vs ICOM 756 PRO 2 vs YAESU FT
1000 MP5
Ah, the joys of living in Florida...another lightning hit. It looks like
the
main xcvr, an Icom 775 is toast. The other 775 was not in line so it
looks
like it is clean.
Insurance will be buying a new transceiver and since the 775 is
approximately
the same price, if not more than the 756 Pro and the FT 1000MP5, it looks
like decision time. I loved the 775 and am tempted to get another. The
reliability and simplicity of use are great. I have also heard very nice
things about the 756 and the 1000.
I am primarily a phone contester and like the fact that both the 775 and
the
1000 put out more than 100 watts which is handy for contests with the 150
watt limit. I do operate some CW and plan on doing more in the future but
my
main love is SSB contests.
Some of the review posts suggest quality control is more of an issue with
Yaesu than Icom. More trips back to the shop, but some suggest the 1000
is
the ultimate rig.
My question is this: knowing what my operating habits are, if you were in
my
shoes and price were no object, which of the three would you purchase and
why. Also which of the stock filters would you recomnmend. You can either
send the suggestions and critiques to me or post them. I am not trying to
start a war of Icom vs Yaesu, only to get a feeling from the community
about
the pros and cons of each. .This should be interesting.
Thanks for the help.

The basic point is this.
** Don't worry if the OTHER station is playing by
the FCC rules (assuming that station is under the
FCC's jurisdiction) just make sure that YOU are
following the rules as best YOU know how for your
OWN station **
I'm not responsible for any other station's
operations so I don't give a burnt out 6146 if
they ID at the end or not. If I get their calland
exchange and I'm following the rules as best I
can and they don't.. NOT MY PROBLEM! **
just 1 ham's opinion..

Message-ID: <46.2c8982e0.2a985be7@aol.com>
Thanks to all who posted on this topic. I hope I responded individually to
each of you. If I didn't, my apologies to you.
OK, it looks like if the 775 is toast when it arrives at the the repair site,
it will probably be replaced by a 1000MP V. After looking at the review in
QST and hearing the good things about it from you guys, I think it is a no
lose situation. If I like the other 775 I have which was not zapped better
than the 1000 the 775 will become the run radio. If I like the 1000 better,
the 775 will stay the S/P radio and the 1000 will be the main radio. I have
operated two different radios before and it has not been a problem. If it
becomes one, the rig I am least happy with will be replaced with a twin of
the other.
Here's the question. What set of filters would you guys recommend for SSB
and which set for CW? Most of my operation is in contests, and I have no
desire to fire up on any of the digital modes, RTTY etc.
Thanks again for the help guys.

Hi Dave -
12 years have past since I had my own station to operate....been on contest
DXpeditions and some multi-op since. Now I am building my own shack. My
Geochron arrived 2 days ago. My two FT-1000D's are still in their boxes (I
had the first one at KH3 and loved it, so I got the other and have never
used it). I have been gathering SO2R e-mails over the past 6 years so I can
make up the rest of the station. Now I will need to select the antenna
switching hardware and computer programs to go along with them. I have
always preferred TR over CT, simply because of my fear of the windows
environment causing crashing and the subtle flexibility Tree had vision to
include early in the game. I found a $50 used 486 computer just for keying
the radio. I picked up a Heil boom mike/headset at WRTC 2002 and hope to
have enough aluminum up to be on in time for SS.
Hope to CU on.
Thanks for your summary. It confirms I am heading in the right direction.
73,
Pete

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Looking for DXpedition logs with more than 10.000 QSO's
Message-ID: <025301c24b58$494e03d0$6401892c@amd1900>
Hello all,
I'm currently working together with K4UVT on a DXpedition Statistical
Log Analysis software called LogStat. This software reads an ADIF
DXpedition log and creates graphs on which operating strategy could be
changed. It will clearly show you what mode, band and continents needs
more attention, it also shows if the number of QSO's in a specific mode
goes down like RTTY or PSK so you know you have worked most of them and
can spent more time on other modes and bands.
An example based on our logs of last years DXpedition can be found on:
http://www.qsl.net/lldxt/j7_vp2m_2002/statistics-j7.html
What I want to ask you is to mail me a zipped ADIF file of one of your
DXpeditions (only > 10.000 QSO's, can be multiple callsigns), in return
I will mail you the statistical graphs. The reason of asking you this is
to test the software with "real" logs so we know if it can handle all
formats. Of course I will keep the logs confidential for my selves only.
Later this year the software will become available to all of you.
Hope to hear soon from you,

Message-ID: <1bb.551befb.2a98cf56@aol.com>
Yes, it's ZERO days to the Ohio QSO Party!
The fun starts today at 16Z (noon EDT), and goes 12 hours until 04Z Sunday.
Suggested frequencies are 45 KHz above the bottom on CW, and 3850, 7225,
14250, 21300, and 28450 on SSB.
Exchange serial number and county (OH) or state, province (VE), or "DX".
Full details are at www.mrrc.net/oqp
QSO Parties like these are greatly impacted by their mobile operations. We
will have six such operations by experienced contesters: AF8A (+W8AV), K8CC
(+W8MJ), K8MR, NY4N, W1NN, and WT9U. Just between these mobiles all 88
counties will be activated. Add in lots of home, portable, and other mobile
operations and you can count on a great contest with lots of activity.
See you soon in the OQP!

Well, if you happen to be the World #1 in your category and then you
find out to be classified into the wrong category where you are 137th or
so, you wouldn't call it accuracy, would you.
What CQ WW Contest organizers MUST MUST MUST do is to publish claimed
scores on the web, just like Steve N8BJQ does for WPX contest. That
would help to avoid a lot of disappointment for some.

--------------
"Please note that as of today (June 19, 2002) that we have not published
complete spec and receiver performance data - we expect these to be
forthcoming shortly and will publish them to our web site in the near
future. Printed literature and revised photos of the Orion will be available
in the next few weeks."
We will begin deliveries in September 2002, but it is likely that backorder
status will stretch delivery of some orders for the Orion past that date.
First orders in are the first orders shipped."
---------------
Excuse me, but I'm from the computer industry. That's where you know a
marketeer is lying simply by the fact that his lips are moving. While I'm
sure there are some people who are so loyal to Ten-Tec that they would jump
at the chance to get an early spot on this waiting list, I suggest that
those "early adopters" are likely to end up the ones with the arrows in
their backs. Personally, I think I'll wait until I hear an Orion on the air
and can read some reliable lab reports before jumping on this bandwagon.

Icom provided brand-new IC765 and IC735 radios for each station in the
original WRTC in Seattle in 1990. I remember being very impressed
with the IC765, and regret not having brought one back with me at the
very advantageous price that was on offer.
Icom provided us with brand-new IC756PROII and IC7400 (also known
as IC746PRO) on loan to the GB50 Jubilee station, and the rigs worked
flawlessly.
It seems to me that both Yaesu and Icom have gone crazy with their
rig naming conventions. IC756PROII, FT1000MP MK-V Field. Yuk.
Only Kenwood have stayed with a more sensible choice of identifier
for their rigs, unfortuntately in the area where it matters - performance
- Kenwood seem to have lost the plot. Will be interested to hear what
contesters think of the Ten-Tec Orion when it hits the streets. At
present if I had to get a new radio it would be the K2/100.

As I slowly put things together, and think about getting more actively on

I found my old DRSI board, but can't seem to find the floppy with the TNCTSR
drivers, and the regular packet program that used to use it. (I found the
BBS and TCPIP ones, naturally).
Since DRSI no longer exists, does anyone know of a regular source for this
stuff, or barring that, have an old disk laying around a copy of?
Many thanks,

I got to see the new Ten Tec Orion for the first time at the Boxboro
convention this weekend. It looks like a nice package - especially if you
like black! The look is kind of a cross between an Icom and a TenTec.
Word is that the original production run is sold out. Second run is
expected some time before Christmas.
This radio reflects a new concept in radio design. The hardware is a
platform with user interface (knobs, dials, display) and RF. The real
features will be enabled through software. Assuming they have a strong
platform (the specs look good), the innovation and possibilities will come
from software. Too early to tell if the Ten Tec engineering team is up for
that challenge, but assuming the software can be upgraded in the field, the
potential for continuous improvement is intriguing.
Given the expected product availability, you have some time to think about
it and wait for some of the early user comments.

The "marketing liar" who wrote the text that appears on the Ten-Tec

George,
Great to hear back from you...sounds like fun..
Anyway, this online soapbox is the most exiting thing Ive seen from the
arrl in years..
If cq would do something like this it would add a new dimension to
contesting...
Just imagine getting all the soapbox commentaries that bring back the
memories of the contest and immediate information including photos of
the stations... this is fun all year long.. KUDOS to the arrl for this
effort...
Felipe

Most of the islands you've listed are owned by other countries and would
fly the flag of the parent country. The CIA World Fact Book might be a
good place to look.

Excellent group of programs. Not only do you get the Log Checker, you
also get a Cabrillo converter that converts just about any kind of log to
Cabrillo
and a Master Call database maintenance program which I use to maintain a very
large database for RTTY. Master call files can be converted for WriteLog, WF1B
or CT and I'm sure some of the others.

Lee, I use the WT4I contest tools, and I find them to be quite useful for
finding anomolies in Cabrillo files. For example, you can quickly and easily
find RST errors, Zone errors, Band errors, etc. There is a feature for using
master.dta, but I have never really every figured out how to use this,
however.
For me WT4I tools was worth the money.

I went out and traded my TS-570 for a TS-850. I feel as though I have left the
computer age for the stone age. So here are some questions.
1. only have one antenna post I have two antennas comming in there is only one
but I see this recieve antenna mod. Is that just for recieve or can you
transmit on it?
2. To have this hook into computer for like dxbase and have the vfo band and
mode switched auto matically then what can I use. there is no rs232 port so how
do you go about hooking it up then is there a box to buy or what?
3. keying with a contest program what can I use to do this with I have rig
blaster will that do the trick?
any other useful hints will be usefull thanks much.

The receive mod is for a receive only antenna. You only have 1 SO239

Kenwood made an interface called the IF232C, but I recommend you build your

See http://www.qth.com/ka9fox/ts850_mods.txt for some good mods, including

Check out the W1WEF parallel port interface. It works great and works with

Go to Google and do a search on "TS850 mods", then enjoy the reading.
Good luck and enjoy the rig.

Sean, although you may feel like you stepped
backwards, you actually took a big step forward
in comparing a 570 to an 850 as a contest rig.
I've had both. To connect to a pc for rig control,
there are several choices you can make. You
can build your own, or guys like W1GEE sells
them for about 40 bucks. Just do a search on
W1GEE and it will show his site. Same thing
goes for the cw keying. You can build a serial
interface with directions that usually come with
your logging software, or purchase interfaces
such as sold on the TRLog web site made by
W1WEF. There are 3 models that range from
$25 or so to around $50. In an actual contest,
I think you'll find the 850 is much better in
handling the QRM then the 570. For CW use,
I had 2 400 hz Inrad filters in mine, and it worked
well. On the antenna part, I've never used
seperate antennas for transmit and receive,
so I'm not much help there, but I have seen the
mod, so it can be done. Hang in there, because
you DID make the right decision.

Once you use your 850 in a contest, you'll wonder why you said what you said
here. This is especially true if you install good filters in both IF's.
The receive antenna mod allows you to connect seperate receive antennas.
N3OC's (nee WA3WJD) mod is excellent to do this. The single SO-239 is for
transmitting. Use an external antena switch.
For computer interfacing, you need a Kenwood IF-232C level convertor or
equivalent to change from the TTL levels on the radio to RS-232. Then, it's
equivalent to the 570 as far as computer control.
You can use a rig blaster with the 850 just like you would with the 570. You
may want to consider using a simple LPT port or serial port interface for
sending CW. They can be built for a few dollars, or you can buy them from many
sources - W1WEF makes an excellent one.
The 850 has less bells and whistles than the 570, but can out-perform it
easily. Invest in some good filters for it. If you close your eyes and
listen, you won't be able to tell you're not using one of the latest
multi-kilobuck radios.

Does anyone but me find it annoying that we have to purchase
software that should be furnished free by the ARRL? The League
foisted the Cabrillo requirements on us without much input from
the membership. IMO, the League should buy the tools from WT4I
at some reasonable price and distribute them free to anyone who
wants them. If the WT4I tools are not for sale, the League
should develop their own.
Am I missing the bigger picture here? Comments welcome.

Message-ID: <721D3436A7C2B344A301FD4A413C71A92993CC@kosh.ARRLHQ.ORG>
After many years of service, were are retiring our old style landscape-format
(horizontal) certificates and replacing them with sleek, sharp portrait-style
(vertical) designs. The changeover has meant delivery delays, however.
To those awaiting certificates for several ARRL-sponsored operating events,
please stand by. The basic artwork has been approved, and the Graphics
Department is hard at work tweaking the final design and layout for the
certificates.
We anticipate having the new certificates on hand, ready for labeling and
mailing by the Contest Branch by mid-October. The new-style certificates will
be used for all ARRL-sponsored HF and international events starting with the
certificates for the 2001 ARRL 160 Meter Contest. New VHF/UHF certificates will
debut with the 2002 June VHF QSO party. New ARRL November Sweepstakes
certificates will be issued for the first time for the 2002 events.
In addition to the new certificates, we are also replacing the old-style ARRL
June VHF QSO Party plaque with a more modern design. The artwork was selected
from dozens of photos submitted by members and will feature a spectacular
mountain sunrise from a rover's perspective. The new June plaques also are
expected to be available by mid-fall.
Thanks for your patience. If you have questions, please contact me at
n1nd@arrl.org or at 860-594-0232.

I think that log checking is a huge volunteer effort. Common standard
format log files help the volunteers. This is the reason for the
Cabrillo file requirement. Should ARRL, in other words its members,
pay for this or should the contesters bear some cost in making the log
checking easy? On the surface, it seems to me that the contesters
should bear the burden of making the volunteers' job easier.
The one argument that can be made against such a requirement, is that
it makes it harder for a casual contester to participate *and* send in
the logs. This is somewhat ameliorated by the fact that most
electronic log programs generate some form of Cabrillo logs, and ARRL
does not require Cabrillo format submission for contesters who log on
paper.
Just another opinion.

Rajiv, N2RD

Are you serious?
Should the government buy your radios for you since they created

Here are my comments:
WT4I Tools software is not required in in order to create a Cabrillo
compliant log. That is the responsibility of the contest participant, and
most if not all of us, depend on our logging software - TR, WL, CT, etc. - to
generate the Cabrillo format correctly. WT4I Tools is an optional aide to be
used in ensuring, but only to a degree, that contact information is logged
correctly.
The contest sponsors, in this case the ARRL, has established - with the help
of very accomplished contesters - a standard format in which logs should be
submitted. That is Cabrillo. The benefit, of course, in having such a
standardized format is in the efficiency gained by automating the processing
of hundreds or thousands of logs.
You are questioning why the ARRL does not provide free of charge to the
contest community the WT4I Tools software. Your argument seems to be that
the League has adopted the Cabrillo standard and, therefore, should provide
software to edit the content of a Cabrillo file. Following that logic, you
could also argue that the League should provide free of charge the contest
logging software - TR, WL, CT, etc.- that generates the Cabrillo files.
Carrying the thread further - why not have the League provide free of charge
the equipment required to operate the contests to provide the contacts to
capture in the software to generate logs in the standardized format? (...she
swallowed a fly...). I think that you can begin to see the ridiculousness of
this logic.
Here is the Bottom Line in my way of thinking: The contest sponsor has the
responsibility of setting the rules (and standards) of the contest,
advertising the contest, evaluating and publicizing the results and awarding
the prizes. Everything else - including all costs of participation and
compliance with the rules - are are the responsibility of the contestants.
IMHO.

Checkout N6TR's website at http://n6tr.jzap.com/850repair.html .
It has alot of useful info on mods/repairs etc... Gee if guys like
N6TR, K6LL, etc.. are using TS-850 's that can't be all that bad.
Also, MFJ makes a computer interface cable (MFJ-5383) that's alot
cheaper then the Kenwood RS-232 interface box. I think it costs around
$20. I have had an 850 for years - with both the 1st/2nd IF CW filters
and it has worked great !!! I have only used a 570 one time (at W4AN's)
for CQ WPX CW so don't have much experience with it. Have fun....

In a word, yes.
Did you find it annoying that back in The Old Days[tm] the ARRL
required you to use offical ARRL contest summary sheets and log sheets
and to submit an Op Aid 6 dupe sheet with your log?
Did you find it annoying that you had to send an SASE to Newington to
request copies of these official forms?
Did you find it annoying that the ARRL didn't provide postage-paid
envelopes for you to submit your contest logs?
Did you find it annoying that the ARRL didn't provide you with a
voucher to use at Kinko's to make copies of your logs?
Did you find it annoying that the post office charged you extra money
if you wanted to send your log via certified mail with return receipt
requested?
Now ask yourself all those same questions and substitute CQ for ARRL.
Now consider a budget for paper log submission, rounding off to whole
dollars to make things easy:
$1 SASE snail mailed to Newington to request forms
$1 Kinko's charge before the contest for copying one blank
summary sheet, the blank Op Aid 6 (two sides), and 10 blank
log sheets
$1 Kinko's charge after the contest for copying one prepared
summary sheet, the used Op Aid 6 (two sides), and 10 used
log sheets
$1 Log packet snail mailed to Newington
$4 Certified mail with return receipt (optional)
$??? Cost of your personal time, wear and tear on your car, etc
So using paper logs it's gonna cost you about $3-4 out of pocket every
time you get on and operate a contest and work 500 guys, unless you
splurge and send it certified USPS. Or you can send it in a FedEx
overnight letter for $10.
You can buy WT4I's Cabrillo Converter for $20, or you can download and
use KA5WSS's LogConv program for FREE.
I didn't include in the budget the cost of radios, amplifiers,
feedlines, antennas, headphones, power strips, ground rods, a desk for
your shack, a chair, a lamp, electricity, logging software, nor the
ISP charges you would spend submitting your log (or writing messages
to cq-contest!) because you have already paid for these things whether
or not your submit a log. You break even on a $20 Cabrillo converter
after about six contests. LogConv is a spectacular deal for the
price.
There is nothing new under the sun. The bottom line is that for
30/40/50? years there have been established procedures for submitting
contest logs. Today in 2002 there are still established procedures
for submitting contest logs -- only the details have changed.
A few years ago I predicted that "10 years from now people will look
back and laugh at all moaning that took place as contest log submittal
procedures were revised to include electronic logs."
Today I have a new prediction: "We will not have to wait 10 years."

I can only echo most comments sent so far plus:
though we use FT-1000D, FT1000MPs here, we always use a TS-850 in one of the
operating spots.
The 850 is an excellent contest rig and much more simple to operate when you
don't need all the bells and whistles the other rigs have.

The burning question in my mind is, since we
know you have a computer, I'm assuming you
are using a pc to log with. What program are
you using that doesn't create a Cabrillo file for
you? I've used CT. It does. I now use TRLog,
it does. WriteLog I'm fairly certain does. Are
you using computer logging Bill?

I think that log checking is a huge volunteer effort. Common standard
format log files help the volunteers. This is the reason for the
Cabrillo file requirement. Should ARRL, in other words its members,
pay for this or should the contesters bear some cost in making the log
checking easy? On the surface, it seems to me that the contesters
should bear the burden of making the volunteers' job easier.
The one argument that can be made against such a requirement, is that
it makes it harder for a casual contester to participate *and* send in
the logs. This is somewhat ameliorated by the fact that most
electronic log programs generate some form of Cabrillo logs, and ARRL
does not require Cabrillo format submission for contesters who log on
paper.
Just another opinion.

Rajiv, N2RD

Bill,
N5KO developed Cabrillo at the request of the ARRL with the input from just
about every major developer of contest software. These people are the ones
who have the experience with to contribute to the specification.
I'm amazed the anyone would gripe about the cost or availability of
programs to submit Cabrillo logs. All of the major programs support it
now, with upgrades available for free or nominal cost. If you really
insist on using a ten year old version of your logging program, tools such
as the KA5WSS (available free, I think) or WT4I tools don't cost all that much.
The ARRL really needed to embrace electronic log submittal in order to get
their contest operations under control with regards to support costs and
turnaround. The alternatives would be higher dues or fewer contests. I'm
sure the ARRL directors would not support the former, and I for one would
regret the latter.

Yeah, but there are lots more contests out there than the CQ and

I suppose maybe not in all cases but...

I would imagine WriteLog can handle about

Pardon if this seems like too simple a question, but are there sources of
information as to how log checking is actually accomplished?
The Cabrillo thread actually prompted my thought.
Based on submitting in that format, is there a "magical" way to merge every
log and then determine who has contacted who, and which are and are not
valid? In other words, have the machines check logs, instead of humans (the
old fashioned way)?

So Does NA and CT There is also a took (software ) to convert old
versions of CT logs into .adi ADIF format for input into most logging
programs. I use LOGGER Because its free and does all I need.

Dear contesters,
The Romanian Amateur Radio Federation (FRR) has the honour to invite the
radio amateurs all over the world to participate in the International
Short Wave Championship of Romania (YO DX HF Contest) which is held on
the last weekend of August every year. The objective of the contest is
to establish as many contacts as possible between radio amateurs around
the world and radio amateurs in Romania. Any SSB or CW is allowed, but
YO counties count as multipliers in addidion to the DXCC entities.
Pay attention! The rules have been changed. The most significant
difference is data sent by NON-YO hams (serial #) and contest multiplier
(no ITU zones, but DXCC entities plus YO counties).
The rules can be read here:
http://www.qsl.net/yo3kaa/contests/yodx_eng.htm
RCKLog (by DL4RCK) is ready for the YO DX HF Contest for YO and NON-YO
stations. It can be downloaded from DL4RCK homepage

The MFJ interface was almost $40, not $20. However, the point is moot -
unfortunately they are not made any more.

For what its worth.
We took 2 rigs on a contest-pedition 2 years ago, an 850 and a 570.
The bad news was the 850 went QRT. The worse news was we had to use the 570.
It sucked.
The next year I went on another contest-pedition with the same 850 and a
TS120 backup. The 850 stayed alive and boy was it great.

Lots of people yakking about the 570 not being up to snuff as a contest rig.
Oddly, no details are being presented. Anyone care to detail?

Looks like they have cables for most rigs.

The MFJ interface was almost $40, not $20. However, the point is moot -
unfortunately they are not made any more.

Hi Contesters,
Can you help me find a source of connectors for surplus
hardline? Today's problem is with aluminum, approx 1/2"
hardline with a solid conductor. Exact dimensions on
request.
I've previously dealt quite successfully with W8ZD, but
there were problems with my last order.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Cabrillo allows, in simple terms, two major things (at least in the ARRL
case).
1) Logs can be checked for format as they are submitted by an email
robot and if accepted put into CM (configuration management, version
control).
2) A common format for the log checkers and sponsors to work with.
An effective item 1, really helps item 2.
There is no "magic" involved in log checking. One may think that the
machines are doing the checking but the reality is (the same as it is
with any computer product) that the machine is only as good as the
person(s) who programmed it (and created the requirements for the
programming). The computer just runs programs. People create the
programs and requirements. The computer just does the boring part more
effectively/efficiently/consistently than a human.
There are various methods used by each sponsor and even each contest to
check logs. K8CC and I have been checking the ARRL 10m/160m logs for
several years now. I can tell you that cabrillo has been a HUGE benefit
to the process (along with the robot to accept logs). We used to spend
weeks getting logs into a format that was useable by us... now it takes
just hours. There are still some that slip through the cracks and need
repair but each year gets better and better as contesters are more aware
of what they are submitting and the robot gets better at catching errors
in format before accepting the logs.
Cabrillo is just a specification of a format. It is not cabrillo so
much that is making things easier as it is having a specification and
being able to enforce it. I'm glad to see the ARRL and other sponsors
backing a standard, which happens to be cabrillo.
I think if you want an explanation on "how" logs are checked (in any
detail), it would be more appropriate for you to ask the contest
sponsors.

Dennis
My twopence or is it 2 cents worth. The 570 is a nice rig. I've used it on
several DXpeditions with great success BUT I agree that it doesn't quite
come up to snuff as a serious contest rig. Why? Well for my money, it's
because the filtering isn't good enough. In the 570 the DSP is at audio
frequency rather than at I/F as in the 870 and you can only add xtal
filtering in the 8 MHz I/F which means the shape factor isn't too
impressive. With the low cost ceramic filtering it uses nearer the front
end it may be prone to overload, though in practice I haven't noticed a
problem there.
That aside the 570 is a good radio for most uses and it has some nice
features.

Main problem is AGC pumping and selectivity.
In a contest, you're always going to have QRM.
The ability to copy a signal thru the QRM in an
850 is much better, at least in my experiences,
then the 570.

MFJ might not make the computer interface cable anymore but you can
still buy them. If you check the HRO online catalog they sell the the
MFJ 5383K (The "K" is for Kenwood) interface cable for $49.95. They
also list it as being in stock.

Dennis et al,
My 2 cents worth on the 570:
I have used a 570DG as a second rig for several years. It has some great
features: easy to use, light weight, dsp, etc. It major shortcoming as a
contest radio is that the agc passband is much wider than the digital filter
passband, so that you can have a weak signal wiped out by adjacent strong
signals that you don't actually hear, but that are pumping the agc to
desensitize the receiver. This is more of a problem on cw than on phone,
and is true even if you add the optional 500 Hz cw filter to the radio. The
agc is not defeatable (although there is a web site by a Kenwood engineer
describing some hardware mods to do that).
I once tried running sprint cw just using the 570, and vowed never again.
73, andy, ae6y

I have never used a TS570 - but my biggest complaint is that the early
rigs had some really bad issues with sending CW and having the network
going at the same time. It seemed that any network activity (over the
radio interface) messed up the CW. I think Kenwood fixed this problem -
but I really don't know. They never did any kind of communication about
it (that I heard of) and that really makes me uncomfortable.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] DX CW Results
Message-ID: <20020829155822.GB19188@kkn.net>
Dear Contesters,
As has already been reported - the ARRL DX CW Results have been pulled from
the web site - just one day after being posted. This is due to a process
problem that was discovered when some of you saw the results. In short,
none of the duplicate QSOs in the logs were removed - and counted as good
QSOs.
Obviously, this could have an impact to the final standings, so we are
going to fix the problem, recompute the scores and repost the corrected
results as soon as possible (probably later next week).
We apologize for the delay.
The CW results in QST have already been printed. However, the .PDF version
of QST on the web will be corrected at a later date. The SSB results will
be fixed before they are published.
This programming error was a result of adding new functionality to the log
checking program to better detect infractions of the band change rule for
multi-one and multi-two entrants. In the future, we will put a process into
place to do a reality check on the numbers before the results are published.
This should detect this kind of problem in the future.

Bill K6KM
Well, the cheapest and most effective method I've ever found is to
make them yourself.
Cut about a 6" length of the 1/2" hard line, and visit your local
hardware store. Also,
take along a barrel connector.
You will find they have brass compression fittings which will allow
the fitting to be
securely mounted to the hard line, along with a "step up" on the other
end which is almost a perfect match for the barrel.
Just place the compression ring on the hard line, ( be sure you put
the compressor fitting on first ), then bare the center wire so it
will be about .75" into the brass fitting. You can now either file off
the threads on the barrel connector, (or drill out the brass fitting
with a 1/2" drill down to the point where the inner housing begins to
expand ) and you will find perfect fit. A little no-alox on the
center wire, and fit the barrel down into the unit. You can now make a
very neat solder around the barrel fitting. A little more no-alox on
the aluminum shield, especially under the position where the
compression ring will come to rest, and tighten it down.
Helps if you have a dremal tool with a circular carbide blade to cut
through the aluminum to expose the center conductor, then slit the
aluminum from the cut to the coax end. Remove the outer shield and
then slice away the insulation back about .75" from the end. Gasoline
works great on a rag to remove that sticky stuff.
It has literally taken longer to write this than to make the actual
fitting.
As to performance, I tested several connectors up to about 200 mHz for
loss and found it was practically non existent. When I first started
using this method, I made up 2 short connects, put coax seal and tape
on one, and hung them with the coax end up on a fence for a little
more than a year. Then, took them apart, and honestly could not find
any difference in the appearance of the 2.
Short and sweet, Ace is the place for the ....

Hi everybody,
For those interested to enter the YODXHF Contest this week-end using TR-log, I
am attaching below, the new logcfg.dat as per new contest rules (two main
changes: non-YO will transmit serial # and the multiplier is given by the sum
of DXCC entities + YO counties).
Note: there is still a weak point: QSO within own country should be zero points
(credited for multiplier only), but the program gives 2 points/QSO. I suggest
manual editing, since I don?t expect that anyone would be too interested in
QSO?s with his own country.
Good luck and see you in the contest!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] DXSpot Filters
Message-ID: <1030646196016752@lycos.it>
Hello All
This is IK4VYX (Fabrizio)
I'm here to announce a new feature of my DXTelnet software package.
If you've never heard about it, DXTelnet can monitor dx spots from a variety of
sources,
simultaneously: Packet radio, Telnet (more than 50 nodes listed), IRC (the CQDX
node),
Web (the popular dxsummit web-cluster).
One of the nice things is that you can set your own, customized, spot filters.
Filters are accessible from the "Configuration" > "Filters" top menu.
One of the filters is called "Select spots by word".
If you set this filter, say, to:
AF,AN,AS,EU,NA,OC,SA,IOTA,ISL,ISL.,ISLAND
DXTelnet will select only Iota spots.
This could be useful for Iota contest purposes or for specific Iota needs.
Of course this filter can be customized for any specific contesting/DX need.
In addition, DXTelnet can feed almost any existing log/contesting software with
the
(filtered) spots it receives.
Please check
http://www.geocities.com/onlydx/article_e.htm
to find out how to link your log/contesting software to DXTelnet.
DXTelnet latest version (5.1) can be downloaded from:
http://www.qsl.net/wd4ngb/telnet.htm
Thanks for your attention.
Best (((73))) de Fabrizio (IK4VYX)

I have a TS-57SDG - The problem Tree mentions is not apparent in this
particular radio.
Trying to use it in a contest is a challenge, at best. Strong stations do not
need to be too close to cause the AGC to pump, and you can't turn it off.
I had mine in the pick-up for quite a while and it was a fb mobile rig,
although it is a bit large. I replaced it with a new IC-706 a few months ago,
and WAY prefer the 570.
The 706's digital remnants are extremely distracting on cw, but it isn't a
bad SSB rig, and it's SMALL. Another not cool contesting radio.
If you're into ham radio in general the TS-570 is a nice radio. If contesting
is your game best check out something else. Of course if your not into
contesting you're probably not reading this reflector.

The number of entries for this year's IOTA Contest is already an all-time
high, but there is still time to send in your log if you have not already
done so. The official deadline is 1st September. e-mail logs go to
iota.logs@rsgbhfcc.org or to hf.contests@rsgb.org.uk These are the only
addresses that work, although I am aware that some other e-mail addresses
have been published in various sources. All entrants should have received an
acknowledgement, automatic from the iota.logs address or manual from the
hf.contests address. If you have not received an acknowledgement, then
please try again.
About a week after the deadline we will put a list of claimed scores, with
category on the RSGB HF Contests Committee Web page (www.rsgbhfcc.org) and
would encourage entrants to check that we have all your details correct. We
will also be putting Soapbox comments and some photographs on the Web at the
same time.

Thanks Alex
Just what I was looking for. A little slicker than my version. Just one
caveat. Stations within your own country come up with 2 points rather than
zero. That appears to be the only editing needed to make it play 100%.

Message-ID: <00d401c24fc7$8de693e0$a900a8c0@fanningat>
Does anybody have opinions on the performance of the FT-920 as a
contesting/DXing rig? It looks like a lot of bang for the buck, but I have not
had the opportunity to use one in person yet. What kind of experience does the
contesting community have with the 920? I am particularly interested in
hearing how the radio performs on CW with QSK enabled. How does the receiver
stack up? Can you live with only having one IF to put (INRAD) filters in? How
good is the voice quality of the voice keyer? Is the audio DSP useful?
Opinions good and bad are equally welcome.

Dennis Younker NE6I brings up a valid question.
> Lots of people yakking about the 570 not being up to snuff as a contest rig.
> Oddly, no details are being presented. Anyone care to detail?
Two years ago, almost to this week, my house (not the antennas) were struck
my lightning and it took out an IC751A and TS870. I purchased another TS870
and borrowed a 570 so I could run my normal SO2R RTTY thing for CQWW RTTY.
The '570 has a couple of problems when it comes to contesting. First off, it
has a 250 hz filter in the FSK position, but I'm not sure where this filter
could
be because if someone parks next to you with a strong signal, the AGC goes
way up and you can't copy squat. So the narrow filtering is probably not in
the IF section. This is the 570's biggest problem when contesting.
The next big problem for RTTY is that the radio does not give a RTTY
sidetone when used in the FSK position. But that had nothing to do with W2UP
whooping my butt that year.
It's great for a "holiday" rig, but not a good contesting radio.
You probably couldn't give me one because I have an FT757GX/II in the closet
that probably works better and is 10 years older.
FWIW... opinions are like ... well you know.

Thanks Fab,
I've been using DXTelnet several years with WriteLog. For RTTY contesting,
all you have to do is put into the filter the word "RTTY" and only RTTY spots
will be sent to WriteLog during the contests. It's nothing short of great.
For information on how to run DXTelnet over a LAN with WriteLog, check
out www.geocities.com/writelog/. For those contests that allow packetcluster
spots, DXTelnet is the BEST!

Seems like the "survery says" the 850 definitely outshines the 570 at least
as far as CW contesting goes.
Could I humor those of you who have used both to compare the TS-850 vs. the
IC-765?
I'm starting to take an interest in "new" rigs. : )
Which would you rather have?

Quack approach
Very similar to above, I take the piece of 1/2 hard line to the same
hardware and buy a nipple that fits over the 1/2 line on one end and fits
the base of a SO239 on the other end.
Slot the end of the nipple that will go over the 1/2 in line and move it
back about 2 inches. Expose about 1/8" of the center conductor of the
hdline. Solder it to the center of the SO 239. To make the connector look
a bit better I have ground down the portion of the SO 239 that has the
mounting holes. Put some no-lox on the
aluminum and Slide the Nipple fwd to contact the base of the SO 239 and
solder at the sholder on the connector then put a worm clamp around at the
Slit that was cut in the nipple.
I have covered the whole thing with RTV and applied tape while the RTV is
still stickey. I use this connector on almost all of my antenna's and SO
FAR No problem.

Thanks for your comments, Don.
You got the exact the meaning of my message: that filter can be tailored
for different needs.
RTTY is one, not to say about SSTV, QSP, PSK, FSK and many others.
During a contest, this filter makes multiplier detection easier.
About WriteLog I am going to post a specific article on the
WriteLog's reflector which describes a new link way
between writeLog and DXTelnet.
That is discussed in
http://www.geocities.com/onlydx/article_e.htm
It uses WriteLog TCP/IP connectivity, instead of the dedicated
dxt2wl application.
Same method applies, say, to CTWIN.
Bye for now.

Many contesters and DXers have recommended the TS-850 to me as one of the
best deals in its price range, so I bought one a couple months ago. I've
been more than happy with it so far. The receiver is outstanding.
To me, any radio that has no tubes in it is not "stone age". :-) I grew
up contesting with S-lines, Heathkits, Drake R4B/T4XB, etc. With those,
even if you didn't get the "warm glow of victory", you at least had the
warm glow of the rigs!

_________________________________________________________
IMO, the TS-870 has an even better receiver. On my '850, a very
strong station (40 over 9) very close in frequency could be heard
weakly - leakage around the filter. On my '870 there is no
leakage at all.
The only thing the '870 needs to make it perfect is the ability
to choose 50 Hz bandpass on SSB. Then PSK31 could truly come
into its own as a DX mode.
Sigh.

All this talk of the TS 570 vs. TS 850 (not even a contest in my book, in
favour of the 850) raises a wider question: are ANY of Kenwood's current
production radios competition grade?
At the risk of inflaming die-hard Kenwood fans, my guess is no. The 870 got
bad reviews on its IF DSP (basically high cut in one IF and low cut in
another IF) that lets signals into the AGC loop even if the second IF
filtering eliminates them. (Similar beef as with the 570.) The last I read
(please, correct me if I'm wrong), you could not install analog filters, or
if you could, you could only install one. Choose wisely, I guess.
The TS 2000 is very neat, but does it count as competition grade? Maybe if
you're into satellite, but I have to think all that frequency agility must
have a price somewhere.
And we know where the contest community stands on the 570.
The 950 is a very nice radio, but it's not made anymore.
Don't get me wrong. I love my 850. But did Kenwood start turning its back on
contesters after the 850? Or was it after the 940?

Quack note on TS 870
I have used the TS 870 for several years and the only problem I have is
when band is loaded with strong signals , HOWEVER that said. Thats why
Rx's have a control call RF Gain. By reducing RF gain I can copy weak
signals that might be covered by ajacent strong signals. Reports on TX
audio are excellent and I like the ability to control the Pass band of both
TX and RX audio. My only complaint on CW filtering is there is a
MAX band width of 1000 Hz. ( under slow cndx it can be desirable to have
this wider.)

It's possible this might be a problem on SSB or CW using the
'870, but I use mine mostly on RTTY and I've never noticed an AGC
problem with it.
I suspect from comments I've heard over the years the '870 might
not be the best choice for SSB/CW contesting, but for RTTY I
can't imagine anything better. If there is, I'd like to try one
out. :-)

Kelly,
I think that the 940 was the last truly competitive radio from
Kenwood.
I don't know what happened, but the folks at Kenwood have not
been keeping up. There has to have been some sort of decision
made to not go after that market. I don't understand it. They also
have rigs available in Japan that are not sold here. The solid
state TL-933 amplifier is an example.
Why they have decided to bow out is a mystery to me. I have
a TS-940S/AT vintage 1987. I have been looking for a replacement
and the Icom 756 ProII is a front runner. It would be nice if Kenwood
had anything that could compare.
My opinion only, YMMV!

Quack's
I use a TS870 and on cw I recieve on Lower side most of the time. Many,
Many stations call on the low side ?? as much as 2 khz low, and this is not
just in contest?? On SSB they seem to do the same when I'm on USB. I think
that it is because most tune from the bottom up and when they have good copy
they stop before getting on the TX freq? I find that I set RIT down about
300 hz and have much better tone for my old ears. On SSB there is no cure.
Many do call off freq but most of the time there is no need to retune to
copy them.

Recent communications with other W4 team organizers indicate that more
than SIXTY (yes 60) W4 stations will take part in Saturday's NAQP and be
part of a team effort.
The Florida Contest Group has approximately 20 entrants including (to my
suprise) Dan "I hate NAQP" Street, K1TO.
Last word I had from TCG was that they had at least two teams.
K4FXN tells me that the Kentucky group is trying to organize two teams as
well.
We've managed to organize nearly 30 from the SECC, PVRC, and others. We
will be known as the Southern States Sprint Coalition (hoping to to inject
the expectation that this is just a warm-up for the real contest in early
September).
Condolence letters can be addressed to Paul, K9PG, and paul@k9pg.com for
our showing up those W9s with regards to participation. This tradition
will be extended through early September.

Worse than it being a non-priority, one could easily
imagine a regime that actively discourages long
distance (HF) communications. Also, some government
types in some places require some sort of "small"
payment (bribe) in order to get them to do their jobs
in individual cases. This is considered normal in
those places and astonishing to the rest of us.
I wonder if some "payola" would grease the wheels?

Speculation about ulterior motives and/or corruption on the part of foreign
licensing authorities does nothing to encourage a tidal wave of new

Hi, Dan.
Here's my message for posting to the CQ contest reflector.
Thanks much for taking the trouble to do this.
I'll keep you informed on what I find out.
Best 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ: Big Rapids, MI
"I am a blind ham, and my call is KB8TYJ. I probably could best be
described as a casual contester, but am now interested enough in contesting
to start pursuing available user-friendly contest logging software for the
blind.
Are there any contest logging programs that have been successfully used by
blind hams with the JAWS for Windows screen reading software? I currently
use JAWS 3.7 with windows 98 Second edition. I am not a computer wizzard,
but if someone can send me a demo of some software to try, with some
easy-to-follow
installation and configuration instructions, I'd be willing to give it a
shot.
Any help would be most appreciated. Please direct any responses to my
arrl.net e-mail address listed below.
Thanks, and vy best 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ, Big Rapids, MI

Hi all. Anything particularly interesting for a guy who enjoys contesting

Suggestions? There is the obvious on the last weekend, but said guy has to

No - he's IGNORING you. I just got an email from him at k3est@mother.com.
I understand another working address is k3est@cal.net. Whether he responds is

Subject: [CQ-Contest] New DTA databases, your help needed
Message-ID: <3D49DB3C.572A0547@buckeye-express.com>
Hello
Last year K8CC and I (K9TM) took over the generation of the callsign
databases used by most of the popular contest logging packages (you may
know the file as master.dta or the feature as super-check partial). Due
to transition items, translation problems on my end, the databases
barely made it out in time for CQ WW last year. However, all reports
have been favorable on the accuracy of the database. This year I have
all the tools ready and can turn the crank pretty quickly.
The goal this year is to get them out by Oct 1. The major factor this
year is in receiving logs as I have already created the tools.
Regardless of deadlines, we need your help. All you have to do is get
together your logs and send them to us (see info at the bottom of this
note for details). Since people interested in the databases are using a
computer and since most of you submit your logs in cabrillo format
anyway... we are only accepting cabrillo logs. (In the past the tools to
generate the databases were based on CT BIN files and as a result, input
was by CT BIN files. Last year I created new tools to work from
cabrillo files.)
The more logs we get, the more calls we can extract and the better the
final result. So all you Multi-Multi's out there (we know you use
super-check partial :-) ) and anyone who wants to help (especially those
who use the database) please submit your logs.
We promise that your log(s) will not be shared with anyone. We will not
use your log for any purpose other than to extract callsigns for the
database project.
Updated databases are available @ http://www.datomonline.com.
To help out please do the following:
1) Name your files using your call. Something like K9TM1.LOG,
K9TM2.LOG.
Please do not name your files like 01SSCW.LOG! You only have to rename
a couple of files... I potentially have to do thousands (ok wishful
thinking, probably only hundreds).
2) Send the files as attachments to the email.
3) Please do not zip or otherwise compress the files.
4) It would also help if you could please make your subject line "[DTA]
your_callsign", for example Subject: [DTA] K9TM. Just like subject
lines from reflectors. This will allow me to sort the responses from my
normal mail.
5) Send the logs to: k9tm@buckeye-express.com.
If you would like to send your logs throughout the year rather than this
batch method, that is OK with me. If enough people do this, I wouldn't
have any problem making updates available more often.
If there are any questions regarding the databases, please direct them
to me (K9TM). We look forward to receiving many logs and putting
together the updated databases.
Thanks & 73s,

Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.2.20020802023553.01aea290@pop.dc2.adelphia.net>
Kudos to K9TM and K8CC for taking on the task of generating master databases.
It's a tricky thing to get accuracy. Unfortunately, the starting point
(people's logs) can bring with it a lot of chaff. For example, I've been
told that the CQWW SSB log-checking database shows about 97,000 calls, of
which only ~30,000 are good calls. In other words, 2/3 of the call-signs
that could be gleaned if you had access to everyone's logs over a number of
years would be bad!
I'm sure that the logs submitted to K9TM and K8CC will be a lot cleaner
than that, and techniques will be applied to screen the unique/probably bad
calls out of that input. But even then, a lot of the common busts -- H for
S on CW, for example -- will undoubtedly sneak through.
Ironically, I find that rather helpful. Whenever I'm tempted to rely too
heavily on the database, I need only look at the screen when I'm part-way
through entering a call and see what look like two or three variations on a
single call. Or are they different calls? Better just copy the station
and be sure!

Sat. Everyone is invited. Pass the word to your club gangs, especially on
the west coast. Sri east coasters, the sun doesn't set on the west coast
until 11:30 EDST
Check in on 3830 starting about 8:30 PM PDT, when we can chat about
strategy, prop., logging programs, SO2R, etc. Number of check-ins will
determine how long we run the mini. We'll start the 10 or 15 minute mini
(80 and 40 CW, in the suggested CW segments) at 9:00 PM (04Z). This is a
good chance to check out your logging software and station before the REAL

Message-ID: <3D4A8963.3750DD37@buckeye-express.com>
The logs have started rolling in... thanks!
...and so have the questions. I have responded to everyone privately
(thus far) but would like to put a sort of FAQ list out here. So here
goes...
Q) Do you only want CQWW logs?
A) NO. We want all types of logs. WW is just one contest.
Any contest is fine.
Q) Why only cabrillo
A) Well since most all contest sponsors require cabrillo (or strongly
want) and
it has been around long enough now that software writers have had
time to
make it part of the package or write a post conversion program...
it really
helps tasks like this (and log checking).
Q) Since you do log checking for the ARRL you already have my 160 or 10
log, just use it.
A) While it is true that Dave and I do log checking for the ARRL, we
can NOT use the
logs submitted to the ARRL. Why? Because the ARRL does not want
them used for
anything other than log checking. That is their decision and Dave
and I abide by it.
Please send your logs again as described in the earlier post for
inclusion into
the database.
Q) How do you get rid of bad calls?
A) There are several techniques used. While we try our best through
software and
human inspection... things still happen. Garbage-in, Garbage-out
still sort-of
applies. We hope to filter through things and come up with a
quality database.
We were pretty successful last year and AD1C did it for years
before us.
BTW, I added a step to take out known bad calls that may have made
it through.
If you have specific bad calls in mind or have found some in prior
databases,
please send me a note with those calls and I will add them to the
list.
Note that you don't have to send OE5OSO (really OE5OHO), that call
inspired
this method.
Q) My logs are small, are they still useful?
A) Yes, all logs are useful. You don't have to be multi-multi,
multi-single or
multi-anything. All logs help.
Q) Do I need to mark the logs differently by contest (dx -vs- domestic,
etc)?
A) Nope, the tools do all the work for me (well most of it).
If other classes of questions come in, I will update this list.

Message-ID: <200208021822.g72IMfQK033136@cobra.ordata.com>
We've discussed here the reminding of past contest participants about an
upcoming event, either by mail or email. That's really preaching to the
choir, so let's take it a step farther ....
An old sales rule of thumb says it's six times easier to sell an
existing
customer than to recruit a new customer. To entice new blood into our
sub-hobby, why don't we ...
Choose a local contest -- in USA, for example, perhaps the FQP or CQP --
so that rates will be reasonable AND callsigns will be familiar. Look up,
on www.qrz.com, everyone in your ZIP code (I'm not sure how our non-USA
friends would do this). Then, ten days or so before the contest, do one of
the following ... or both, if you like:
(1) Send each ham a postcard inviting him/her to operate or observe the
contest. Make it Open House-style ... between the hours of xx and yy ...
and be sure to include food.
(2) Also ten days or so ahead, after identifying each ham in your ZIP
code, send him/her an email (a click on the callsign in the ZIP code search
in qrz.com takes you to a page that MAY have an email address). In the
email, extend the above invitation AND attach a minute or so audio clip
from your station in a high-rate SSB contest.

Hi Tim:
Yes I have a file now thanks.
Yes I saw that in the rules and it sounds a bit backwards!!!....As well I notice
in TRLog that the mult list has VO1 and VO2.....?? So if the rules say that
"Newfoundland counts as Labrador" why isn't the multilier just VO?? I am
confused. Anyway the official name for the province is "Newfoundland and
Labrador".....for many years the name was "Newfoundland"...but last year the
Canadian govt under pressure from some politicians who aren't busy enough,
changed the name to include Labrador. All of us who are native Nfld'ers have
always known that VO2 was part of the province so the change is a bit ridiulous.
VO2 is in CQ Zone 2 and VO1 as on zone 5 ...so VO2 is special in that sense.
Anyway maybe Tree can advise as to why VO1 and VO2 are in the mult list when the
rules say that Nfld. counts as Labrador.
Anyway

Dick N6AA and I are very much appreciative of all the real-time cheering we
received during the WRTC. Especially, from the Senior Set, who I guess we
were somehow representing. Sorry we didn't race to the finish, first, and
hope we didn't let anyone down, other than ourselves. Age was not our
excuse; feeble-mindedness may have been.
What did someone call us? "Old and Treacherous", I think I heard.
OK, fair enough.
In recent months, I've been thinking that this being my FIFTH solar maxima,
of serious contesting that is, it may very well be my last! How depressing
is that?
So, quitting not exactly being in my internal workings, I have decided to go
public with:
SECRETS OF CONTESTING NO.5:
Many in this country, at least, probably read last week of the Yale
University research findings that if you THINK YOUNG, you will extend your
life (on the average) ANOTHER SEVEN AND ONE-HALF YEARS. And further, that
this singular "habit" is more important to your health than factors such as
blood pressure and cholesterol.
Can you imagine this?
Thusly, I hereby announce that I have extended my personal goal of SERIOUS
contest expeditions until I am Age 100. That's another 37 years, or ANOTHER
3 SOLAR MAXIMA! Wow. And then when I reach 100, I'll decide if I'll go
another 5 years, or not. And another 5, and so on. I hope you all will be
around to celebrate this with me.
Some are probably saying, "How silly is this? Neiger has definitely and
finally gone over the edge"!
My challenge to ALL of you: please sign up to this plan of (1)thinking
young, and (2) dumping pathetic excuses of WHY YOU CANNOT hit the contest
DXpedition trail this fall, or putting in MAJOR efforts from home this and
every year.
What if Yale is right? You, at least may benefit the most. And the rest
will derive great benefit from your activity, and many more multipliers!
And having our radio friends with us for so many more years, we all win.
And what has been on many of our minds, the bad notions that ham radio, and
contests are dying (at least in the USA), and have a limited future, are, as
they say " a little pre-mature".
Maybe we can't attract many youngsters into the hobby. But we certainly
have the potential to EXTEND our useful contesting lifetimes.
And I may not make the Top Ten every year, but at least if won't be for want
of a serious effort.
Please join me in this quest. And thank you for reading this far.

I certainly think the Yale study is right! I attended my 40th High School
Class
reunion in 1990 and could not believe how pathetic the majority of the
people
looked! Especially the ones who never left Carlsbad, New Mexico. I've
tried
my best to destroy my body over the past 45 or so years with little success
but I think it's because I "think young" and won't participate in getting
old -
why should I? Hopefully we'll be doing a M/M from some exotic country or
planet 30 years from now - if you're there I'll be there too! My 60th
birthday
party will be held in Brazil or some South American country on November
26th - just after CQWW CW PT5A - it'll be a blast. I've celebrated my
birthday
on every continent and not sure how many countries and they were all fun!

Come join the fun with a Tennessee Contest Group team. You don't have
to be in Tennessee to be on one of our teams. We will have teams from
big guns to little pistols. Team placement is based on past performance
(if any) so we usually have at least a couple of very competitive teams.
Drop me an e-mail by Thursday, August 15 if you are interested.

Bill, I though think that anyone who is an MIT alumni would be able to
acknowledge that modes like PSK31 could easily be superior to CW.
On a theoretical grounds, PSK has a signal/noise advantage of about 4 dB
over OOK (on-off-keying -- eg CW) in the presence of Gaussian noise.
Granted, the signal impairment of typical HF channels isn't purely
Gaussian, but the theory is there none the less.
As a pratical matter, PSK31 has demonstrated that solid copy is possible
with signal levels that are INAUDIBLE to the human ear. Read that again.
Inaudible -- as in you cannot hear it. Since CW is typically decoded by
ear, this clearly indicates the superiority of the mode in weak signal
environments.
As for tuning PSK31 signals, it's pretty obvious to anyone who is
familiar with current PSK31 applications -- you do not tune in signals by
ear. It would be impractical to do so. Instead, you tune according to a
visual display, typically an FFT waterfall. Signals are clearly evident
on this display and easily tunable. Many applications don't require
precise tuning -- just click on the visible stream in the waterfall
display.

By that logic, e-mail doesn't mean anything, either.
To me, though, it's just a means of person-to-person communication.

It still takes considerable radio skill and communications acumen to hold
a PSK31 QSO.
Do you hold the same opinion of Baudot RTTY?

There ARE NO CW subbands on HF. There are a few narrow CW-only subbands
on VHF, but not on HF.
CW is permitted everywhere, and there are no indications it will be
prohibited.
I really get annoyed at this suggestion that any regulatory change is
couched in the framework of somehow eliminating CW subbands, when such
subbands do not exist.

Hint: the level of activity on RTTY contests isn't nearly as high as that
on CW or SSB. Bottom line is that there are many fewer stations CAPABLE
of making RTTY contacts than those that can make CW or SSB contacts.

Big Amen to that. Let's use our brains.
Anyone with brains would realise that if there were more stations active
on RTTY contests, rates and QSO totals would be higher. Much higher.

PSK31 is roughly the same speed as CW. It would be a better choice for
most run-of-the-mill communications.

Technically, you're incorrect. Human-read CW signals are limited by being
audible above the noise. Certain digital modes can greatly exceed that
capability.
N4HY and W3IWI did experiments back in the mid-80's where they did
MOONBOUNCE with weak 432 MHz signals. (They actually read the CW off the
FFT displays from their transceivers.) Once you bring signal processing
to the problem, new types of communications are possible -- ones that are
not limited by the human ear.

>SOSB records for CW vs SSB on 160-40 in the CQ WW records here:
Bill, this is so fallacious an argument, it is almost ludicrious to
reply. Not only does one have to contend with the different bandwidth
requirements of SSB over CW, but the world-wide frequency allocations are
so varied that simplex communication, the mainstay of high-speed contest
operation, are not possible on SSB -- but are common for CW.
> In the extreme conditions on the low bands, CW rules!
Over SSB, sure. CW requires almost 100th of the bandwidth of SSB. It's
information rate is much lower.
Dr. Shannon has a well-known theory about information transmission.
Sending information and lower rates requires less bandwidth, and can
therefore be done at lower signal levels.
By that rule along, modes like PSK31, whose information rates are lower
than some CW signals, ought to be superior with weak signals.

PS -- does NASA use CW on its deep-space network?

I've seen this argument so many times, I'm somewhat sick of it.
It is a good technical point. My question is -- why is it only applied to
SSB? Wouldn't this operation also be beneficial for CW? Of course it
would. So, why not propose to use CW exclusively in the US from 1950-2000
kHz and work all DX split?

SSB has bandwidth problems on the higher bands, with the possible
exception of 10 meters.
One important effect on the higher bands is that the presence of skip
zones tends to limit co-channel interference.
Bottom line, though, CW requires only a percent or so of the bandwidth of
SSB. Therefore, the signal levels required for effective communications
are definitely lower.
>On 10 meters, with effectively

I don't think these records are any indication of the inherent properties
of the mode. On SSB, most likely it is due to the higher availability of
stations to work than the properties of the mode itself.

These modes aren't anything alike. WSJT is 441 baud, which is actually a
rather high signalling rate compared to CW. WSJT is designed for meter
scatter work, and therefore has to transfer information at a high rate.
(it also uses multi-bit FSK, to avoid some of the phase distortions
present in the meteor pings)
So, WSJT is not extremely narrow. It is wider than typical RTTY or 300
baud packet, even.
Point is, each of these modulation techniques is designed to meet certain
channel goals. WSJT works much more effectively than high-speed CW. (high
speed here meaning 100-800 wpm!)

I think Bill missed my point, probably because I could have put that more
precisely. There are no CW sub-bands, but the phone sub-bands protect CW
from phone QRM. I worry that the FCC will succumb to pressure to expand
the phone sub-bands to cover more and more spectrum now effectively set
aside for CW and digital modes. Digital devotees should realize that the
existing phone sub-bands now protect them, too.
As for metaphors, I still prefer sailing, because while CW may be
Piper-Cub-slow, it's also sailboat-like-fun.

The new digital modes are far superior to CW or SSB in being able to copy
weak signals. But they take more time to make a QSO. If you're trying to
compare rates, that is a factor. Just like a view camera is far superior
in results to a 35mm camera. But it takes at least several minutes to set
it up. It isn't "point and shoot".
So you might say that the digital modes are better than CW or SSB in
having QSO's or ragchews but aren't the best for rapid contest operation.
My favorite is still CW.

Actually, the software we used at W1AW/5 is 95% of the way to making that
sort of operation quite feasible. The stations at W1AW/5 were all
interconnected by TCP/IP over the internet, so whether they are in the same
state or not is pretty minimally important. And since the complete log
of the entire operation was always available to each of the stations in
realtime, you wouldn't need to worry about dupes or not knowing which bands
to pass calling stations to, etc.
The next big step in the software would be to integrate some very responsive
inter-station signalling that required few keystrokes to send and little
brain-power to receive. Signals like "I am now QRT - you take it over from
here," or "I can hear him well enough to complete the QSO, please standby
while I work him" and such boiled down to something that makes it fast
was the one trick we lacked at W1AW/5. Such signalling might also find itself
useful for traditional multi-multis.
With this sort of idea, if you had three stations on 80SSB, you could have
the midwest station CQing, and then whenever a caller comes along whom he
cannot hear, you could have the east coast or west coast stations jump in
on a QSO-by-QSO basis to complete the contacts while still limiting the
team to one transmitted signal per band-mode at a time.

Tony and Jim, et all,
Sign me up! I took my first trip outside the U.S.
last CQWW CW to PJ2T at 57 (almost 58) and have my
plane tickets for this fall already. I have only been
seriously contesting for 12 years, even if licensed
for 43. I have always thought and felt young and
rowdy. I am not ready for a rocker and pablum yet, if
ever!
After my 2nd divorce, I have a new young girlfriend,
she's only 50 and looks and acts young, and we are
like teenagers. She thinks ham radio is very cool.
I am one happy contented contesting dude!
I used to say that I wanted to be shot by a jealous
husband when I'm 90, but now I say that I'm looking
forward to working you all in the contests of the
next 3 or 4 sunspot cycles, and see you from PJ2T on

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CW works better!
Message-ID: <1.5.4.32.20020805155047.00728bc0@pop.vnet.net>
Under extreme contest conditions on any band, CW rules! Why
is this so? The answer is very simple...noise bandwidth. On the
low bands, noise tends to increase as you move down in frequency.
This is due to three primary reasons:
1. Local atmospheric noise (i.e. lightning storms) is propagated more
effectively on the low bands, 160 being the extreme.
2. Local manmade noise is worse on the low bands (powerline leaks,
electric fencers, and a multitude of other local sources)...again
160 being the extreme.
3. Local signal congestion interference is worse on the low bands
because you do not have the effective skip zone protection that
higher bands afford. This case is inverted on the higher bands
where most interference is from strong distant stations, but it is
more difficult to generate DX signal strengths as strong there as
commonly experienced on 160 or 80 from local stations (-20 to -30 dBm).
Because of noise, any mode which allows a smaller (i.e. narrower)
noise bandwidth will be more effective in communications than a mode
which requires larger bandwidths. W8JI recently commented on this on
the FT-1000MP reflector:
http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/1000mp/2002-August/003416.html
********************************************************************
The reason is noise power is directly proportional to receiver
bandwidth, while signal level is constant as long as the signal is
narrower than the bandwidth. If you have a 100Hz filter bandwidth and
a 100Hz signal bandwidth, and switch to a wider 1kHz bandwidth, you
increase noise ten dB.
(This is most of the reason why people think PSK is significantly
better than other modes like CW. The digital system uses a ~70 Hz
filter in the computer but and the "ear" listening hears the signals
through a 2.1kHz SSB bandwidth of the receiver. Switch to a 100Hz
filter and copy a slow CW signal at slow typing speeds, and that
"apparent" advantage evaporates.)
*********************************************************************
SSB has an advantage in contest conditions where there is
relatively low manmade or atmospheric noise (20-10 meters) and
especially where interference due to signal congestion is not an
issue (i.e. 10 meters). Where congestion interference becomes an
issue, CW again has the advantage because of its narrow noise
bandwidth. In this case, the noise is primarily due to adjacent
signals rather than atmospheric or local manmade noise. The WRTC
teams made most of their contacts on CW because signal congestion
was severe on all of the bands below 10M and their 100W signals
were most effectively heard on CW using narrower bandwidths than the
wider bandwidth SSB requires. Taking a quick glance at the results,
only ONE of the 52 teams made more contacts on SSB than CW, and the
top 5 stations made 62% of their total contacts on CW, even though
scoring incentives were identical for both modes:
http://www.wrtc2002.org/results.htm (click on Full WRTC2002 Score
sheet link at the bottom for Excel spreadsheet)
I don't believe any current digital mode has an advantage
over either CW or SSB in contest conditions, not due to any
bandwidth considerations, but simply due to the awkwardness of the
human/computer/radio interface in making contacts rapidly (tuning,
identifying, exchanging, etc.) IMHO the human brain coupled to a
radio is a far more powerful combination under contest conditions
than any mode which requires a computer for coding/decoding signals.
This might change in the future but that's how I see it today.
73, Bill W4ZV
P.S. The 2000 CQ 160 CW & SSB Contests had nearly identical
participation levels (December 2000 CQ Magazine listed 4606 unique
calls for SSB and 4512 for CW), so participation does not explain the
advantage CW demonstrated in the contest results. Also, the 2001 ARRL
bandplan was not in effect for any 160 contest results previously
referenced, so all USA SSB stations had full access to the entire band.
(Of course there WAS a bandplan in effect before 2001 but nobody honored
it until Riley Hollingsworth sent enforcement letters last September).

Another aspect of both CW and SSB is that a sufficiently skilled operator
can copy more than one signal at a time. I'm not aware of a "new digital
mode" that supports this "feature".
Of course if you increased the data rate, and hence the bandwidth, you could
make the QSO's so fast that it would be indistinguishable from copying more
than one signal at a time, but the increased bandwidth would leave CW as
superior again. ;-)

*IF* feedlines were lossless, this would be true. In some situations, one
can use a feedline that is nearly lossless, so that the absolute SWR
matters less.
Such antennas are usually compromise antennas, and contestors are less
likely to compromise. Even so, LB Cebik's 88 foot doublet design is a
compromise of this type. It was really intended as a backup or second
radio antenna.

9913 isn't lossless at HF, but it's loss is lower than other coax. Well,
that is, until it fills up with water....
>Or that a 1 dB difference in a signal is unnoticable at either end.
For signals well above the noise, 1 dBis just perceptable. But for
signals in the noise, it cam make all the difference.
>Or that connector loss is negligable.
If connector loss were even 1%, running 1500 watts through a connection
for just a few minutes would heat it up with 15 watts of power. They
would be HOT.
In practice, when properly installed, connectors do not heat this way. In
fact, even at full power, most connectors don't show any measurable
heating at all. This lack of heating indicates that connectors have
negligable loss.
That said, you're still better off to have as few connectors as you can.
Each connector is still a point of failure.
>All those statements are lies. Find out why.
Not all of them are lies. But finding out why is good advice....

This sort of Internet octopus would be pretty unwieldy, given the current
state of the network -- just too much latency. At NU1AW/4, I think that
having one station handle all the CW and another all the SSB was a pretty
good way to do things. With multipliers only counting once per band
there's little incentive to pass mults between modes.

intermittent RF problems. They appear to be with the receive
audio switching relay...it's chattering or switching when the paddle
sends CW. The radio is a TS940. I haven't hooked up the
second radio yet!
Has anyone had similar problems? Any suggestions?
I have grounded the SO2R box and computer, added ferrites
on the power and computer (LPT) cables and swapped the
"wall wort" power supply. I'm about to poke around with
bypass capacitors.
Thanks in advance.
73,
Mark, KD4D

Digipan allows you to copy 2 PSK31 signals at once. W1SQLPSK allows you
to copy up to 20 (yes, twenty!) PSK31 signals at once.
None, however, allow you to transmit more than one signal at once. I'm
not sure I could type that fast, anyway. :-]

Yep, it is ... just bought one. You might have to educate the salesperson a
bit because the rebate forms didn't print out automatically. However they can
go to the Staples.com website and print out the needed stuff.
The in store price is $159.98 plus tax. The rebate is $80.00.

_________________________________________________________
You have not kept up! The latest versions of both DigiPan and
WinPSK can copy two separate signals at once. They even have a
"seek" function similar to the one on your car radio.
Try 'em, you'll like 'em.

Hi Rich,
Although I do support CW with all my heart, PSK 31 can copy several signals
simultaneously and the bandwidth is quite comparable with that of CW. Never
say never...

I have been suggesting an "Experimental" category in regular contests for just
this kind of activity. There's really no reason why not to try it in, say, CQ
WW except for it not meeting the requirements for any of the categories. I
think an Experimental category would open the doors to some innovations.
About the only requirement for Experimental category would be to obey all the
rules of your ham license and whatever you do, you have to write it up and
explain it publically so we can all think about it. You might want to restrict
it a tad by limits on one signal per band, 1500 watts maximum output, etc. If
the contest sponsors don't want to implement another category, then submit the
results as a check log and write it up anyway. If it's a really good idea,
either the idea will be adopted or you can start a new contest.
As far as just distributed efforts, you can have distributed M/S or M/M as with
W1AW/5, although identification gets a little sticky on a worldwide basis. You
could also have distributed teams. There comes a whole new set of interesting
strategic problems like how to allocate bands as the earth rotates. What if
you have enough bandwidth to listen from remote sites? What if a single-op has
a half-dozen remote stations? The possibilities are pretty wide open. The
Internet offers a tremendous dose of technology, why don't we make it possible
to use it, while still retaining an emphasis on operating skill?

What CW or interrupted carrier modes, have going for them from deep

Less power consumption transmitting, particularly if one is
transmitting in packets with self-correction CRC's. Only transmitting
part of the time. The trick is doing what is necessary to trust the

Hi, Bill.
This is reminiscent of when I bought a brand new ARRL Handbook for Radio
Amateurs at Bookmaster a year or two ago. Word had spread via the Internet
that the Handbook was on sale for $8. The price tag was still the original
shelf price. You had to tell the counter clerk it was on sale--he then
looked it up on their computer system and found, yes, indeed, it was on
sale.
Apparently, Bookmaster/Barnes&Noble puts selected books on sale at selected
and various stores. The stores don't always get the word and/or they don't
get marked as being on sale.
I've made it a point to ask the clerk to check their network system if the
book I'm wanting to buy is on sale. (don't take their word for it; have them
check their computer system)

Have a look at the meter (carrier level indicator) on this photo of an
excellent condition pre-WW2 RME 69.
http://www.nucleus.com/~jordana/rme69dials.jpg
Calibration is 0-72 db in six db steps, with a lower scale clearly in
S units, going 1-9 every six dbs.
The photo is good enough that you can read the "RADIO MFG ENGINEERS"
and the PEORIA, ILLINOIS, U.S.A. in the meter face fine print.
I think the RME 69 is mid thirties. This is back when you had to read
the manual to see what the knobs did. Notice the complete lack of
stamped lettering around the knobs.
http://www.nucleus.com/~jordana/rme69front.jpg
So the IDEA of an S unit being 6 db is quite a bit older than some
have put forward. Whether this one is any better than modern receivers
at displaying real signal levels is anyone's guess.
I'm intrigued as to what process was used to create the dial
calibration for the main tuning. Photo offset of a hand-drawn master?

Message-ID: <3D4F5EB7.2050503@tampabay.rr.com>
There was a barrage of comments related to CW being outclassed by PSK31
including the following which was typical of them:
"Digipan allows you to copy 2 PSK31 signals at once. W1SQLPSK allows you
to copy up to 20 (yes, twenty!) PSK31 signals at once."
I believe the problem, which you will in turn say is semantics, that a
lot of us have is that we feel statements like the above are just plain
wrong.
Why?
Because the OPERATOR is NOT COPYING the signals ... a machine is.
If this is indeed the direction we are headed I guess things like
contesting and WRTC are history - after all it will be which engineer
has access to the best components and can design the best boards for
their "decoders"
This is also the reason why a lot of us do not even both investigating
PSK31 - it isn't operating ... I also feel the same way about RTTY. If I
am not having to use my brain to decipher sounds and turn them into
contest exchanges, etc. it is not operating (to me) .
What is the sizzle, what is the romance, why bother?
Data exchange is not operating, IMHO. That's what the internet is for!
And I agree that it is possible to copy more stations at one time on CW
than phone - if you are really good!
73, am not trying to start a fire just stating my opinion - granted it
is from someone who feels older than N6TJ.

A 6 dB division and intuitively the half, 3dB, have definitely a
meaning.
6dB equals a doubling in voltage and a four times the power, 3dB
increase a power doubling, and so on.
Everything loses meaning when the AGC voltage doesn't follow this
logaritmic law and a receiver is a communication equipment rather than
an instrument.

Well said Jim. When contesting or DXing becomes nothing more
than exchanging data between our computers, everyone being 599+ with
no more effort than plugging their laptop into their telephone jack,
then this hobby is dead for me. You only need to look at some of
the spots and talk messages on the OH2AQ Webcluster to see that we
are getting close today. Take a look at the VHF spots especially:
http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/144.html
http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/430.html
I'm not picking on these guys but here's just one of many examples:

DH9NFM 432200.0 F5SMZ jn39(>jo50 1555 04 Aug

When you can make a realtime sked using the internet, make "2-way QSO's"
without either operator actually having heard the other using WSJT at
VHF or QRSS at VLF, and then "confirm" it realtime, I personally have to
question what the point is. This just reminds me too much of nets (and
prompters on the low bands) where "2-way" QSO's could never have been
made without the assistance of a third party.
I maintain that contests are one of the few areas left in our
hobby that have not been corrupted by stuff like this, but this is why
fewer of us know how to S&P without a Packetcluster screen in front of
us. Everyone can be 599+ with no radios or antennas necessary if we
push this to the extreme. A monkey with a computer connection (there
already may be a few on this reflector IMHO) can be equally loud as
anyone else. Dumbing down using computer-to-computer QSO's is simply
the next logical step until we next decide not to bother with radios
and antennas at all. When we reach that stage, I'll be long gone.

QRL? Are you busy?

QRU would be no QTC to send and
QTX would be I have some but it's not a good time to send them.
There are a lot of unique things about the WAE contest:
a) only contest with QTC feature
b) the mult station in a M/O has no 10-min band restriction
c) S/O off times can only be taken in up to three time blocks
d) Scores "booklet" sent to entrants (mailed from Germany)

It's not true, Pete. The "phone" subbands actually separate analog
modulation (voice, fax, television), from "digital" subbands (RTTY,
Packet, etc). CW is permitted everywhere. CW operators can choose any
frequency that is free of QRM, regardless of mode.

Again -- the same error. There is no spectrum "set aside" for CW on HF.
All frequencies are allowed for CW.
Indeed, it would appear, from the comment made by the FCC official that
further expansion of analog modes is less likely. After all, if amatuers
start emphasizing more digital modes, then the increased demand of these
frequencies would support the digital subbands, not caused them to be
decreased.
> Digital devotees should realize that the
>existing phone sub-bands now protect them, too.
Uh, it's vice versa. CW devotees should realise their best allies against
"phone QRM" are digital devotees.

This has been a topic of discussion before. I remember an article in the
last 15 years or so indicating that perhaps the best way to enhance
digital contesting is to develop a special protocol for contest exchanges.
Of course, such a mode would appear to further remove the human element
from contest operation.

The operator still has to read the signal on the screen. The operator
still has to reply with his answers. To me, the operator is still copying
the signals - he's using his eyes instead of his ears. Why is that
different than SSB, CW or anything else? It is not totally a
machine-to-machine QSO, the operator is still involved. It's the
operator's ideas and thoughts that are being exchanged, not the machine's
(if machines can even have ideas and thoughts - read "Godel, Escher, Back
- an Eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas R. Hofstadter.)

Some of us think that new things are adventures. I still vividly recall
my first QSO's on 160, 30, 17, 12 meters; 222, 432, 1296, 2304, 3456 etc.
MHz. And my first QSO's with RTTY, PSK31, MFSK16, etc. They were ALL
adventures!

My opinion is that data exchange is data exchange - whether you exchange
the data via spoken word, Morse code, written or typed message or
telepathy - it's still data exchange. RADIO is the medium - a signal sent
from an electronic transmitter to an antenna and then relayed via free
space, ionosphere, troposphere, EME or whatever, and then received at
another antenna and detected by an electronic receiver. If it's done that
way, it's radio regardless of the mode of communication used. I myself am
interested in all the modes available. But I should note that CW is still
my favorite and occupies 90% or more of my operating time.

OK - I guess we just have different opinions. I'll still work you on CW.

Gosh, another thread being beat to death. Valid points from
both camps, but look fellas; this is a hobby. Some folks like
Vanila and some like Chocolate.
Another example, analagous to Pete's Sailboat came from
Chuck Yeager at the Oshkosh airshow on "Sunday Morning".
He mentioned that he had flown 2500 MPH, and that the F15s
and F16s were relatively easy to fly. He enjoys flying his
vintage P51 Mustang. As he said, That takes real skill, and
if you don't stay on top of it all the time, it will beat you up.
Why don't we just enjoy the hobby, what ever mode we prefer.

Hi Ronald:
I've done some more research. I'm using TR-Log. Jay
from Array Solutions provided a suggestion for filtering RF
noise.
The problem appears to be that the LPT port in this computer
can't drive the STROBE, PTT, CW, Radio A/B and one
paddle (DIT or DAH) reliably in the presence of RF.
I can see the PTT voltage levels varying a little bit on a
voltmeter, following the paddle keying. This is enough to
cause the PTT sensing in the audio switching to follow the
keying.
The radio A/B select is so marginal that adding a voltmeter
probe to one specific leg of the input circuit causes something
to go into oscillation!
I'm going to try a different computer, with a different LPT
port type. I suppose I should build an opto-isolated interface...
Thanks and 73,
Mark, KD4D

I haven't tried PSK31 yet, so can't comment there, but I have done some
RTTY. Normally I find myself in violent agreement with OJ on most things,
but this one is a big exception. There definitely IS an element operator
skill involved in RTTY--a HUGE element. Until you've been on the receiving
end of a good RTTY pile-up, you just can't appreciate what chaos is. There
are lots of good calls in that mess, but trying to pull out just one good
one can be quite a challenge. It's the kind of thing where a mediocre op is
likely to have a UBN rate that is just through the roof. (Right now I'm
living in dread of my UBN report from last winter's RTTY/RU, because I know
I'm one of said mediocre RTTY ops!) In addition, timing is
everything...just as it is in CW. I can listen to a really great RTTY op
(e.g. AA5AU) running a pile-up and see hear just as much beauty (well,
almost) as listing to one of the CW greats showing off their stuff.
In summary, my advice to OJ would be to give it a try sometime. I think Jim
just might discover a new challenge and have some fun. And, super op that
he is, I would expect that eventually--after he learned the needed
skills--he would work his way into the top 10 boxes. Say, didn't K5ZD do
just that a few years ago?

Message-ID: <20020806154246.15331.qmail@web13302.mail.yahoo.com>
This debate is like others along the same lines..
Both have dedicated camps of followers who have
passionate (and usually well-reasoned) points of
view and positions staked out. Neither will budge
(much) off their positions.
(An aside.. kinda reminds me of the Kipling poem
about the 7 blind men touching different parts of
an elephant and THEN describing the elephant.
Each was right, passionate, and accurate... but
they all lacked an overall contextual point of
reference.)
After having followed the 'CW/NO CW',
'CW/SSB/PSK/etc' debates.. one theme seems to be
constantly appearing - at least to my eyes.
The BIG difference between the two camps is the
level of human involvment in the effort to
successfully initiate, follow through on, and
complete the communications.
CW/SSB operations (without intervening
decisionmaking technology involved) INHERENTLY
make the human being an integral part of the
equation. You CAN'T do it without the human
being.
It REQUIRES a buy-in and a committment to
participate which axiomatically brings ownership
(with the subsequenct personal pleasure of
succeeding in doing) to the entire process.
Ownership involves investment and that requires
one to comitt to the investment which invokes a
personal comittment by the one who is invested in
he process.
The decision on 'go/no-go' and success/failure of
the mission is totally dependent on the decisions
made by the human being which further cement the
relationship and make that bond even tighter and
more personal.
In the case of technology driven modes such as
PSK/RTTY/etc. where the machine makes the
'go/no-go', 'success/failure' determination and
decision the human being is reduced to a lesser
role not having any real stake or buy-in to the
success or failure of the mission outcome.
The amount of commitment/involvement/investment
of self is reduced (or depending on the level of
automation/technology involved) basically
eliminated and therefore no real sense of
achievement or satisfaction.
If the mission succeeds, it is due to the machine
being the primary source of success.. if it
fails.. then the machine is responsible. All the
human did was tune a knob and press a
button/click a mouse and stand back out of the
way.
The success/failure is dependent on a 'thing' not
a person and that drives the value to the human
down to where it becomes just a commodity to be
used rather than something to invest in.
No personal connection.. no buy-in.. no
investment of self into the project.. little
comittment... therefore little pleasure in
success or desire to findout why things failed.
I AM NOT.. ANTIDIGITAL/AUTOMATED MODES! I believe
firmly that digital modes and all the wonderful
benefits have their place, surely. Let us use
them for their best purposes, of course. However,
I think we should try to keep the understanding
of WHY in mind whichwill help eliminate the
constant aruging about 'MY MODE'S BETTER'N YOUR
MODE BECAUSE....' OH YEAH! WELL *MY* MODE CAN
DO...."..etc..etc..
Just one hams humble and perhaps misguided
understanding.
Fingers are twitching!@ MUST BE TIME FOR A
CONTEST!

Unless you have spent some time operating RTTY contests please do not put down
those of us that do. It is not all machine nirvana and just watching the
equipment do everything. It still takes some brain power and close watching of
the screen to know when to switch decoders or change the settings and, to copy
partial print, shifted characters and other anomalies of RTTY.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] but are YOU really
There was a barrage of comments related to CW being outclassed by PSK31
including the following which was typical of them:
"Digipan allows you to copy 2 PSK31 signals at once. W1SQLPSK allows you
to copy up to 20 (yes, twenty!) PSK31 signals at once."
I believe the problem, which you will in turn say is semantics, that a
lot of us have is that we feel statements like the above are just plain
wrong.
Why?
Because the OPERATOR is NOT COPYING the signals ... a machine is.
If this is indeed the direction we are headed I guess things like
contesting and WRTC are history - after all it will be which engineer
has access to the best components and can design the best boards for
their "decoders"
This is also the reason why a lot of us do not even both investigating
PSK31 - it isn't operating ... I also feel the same way about RTTY. If I
am not having to use my brain to decipher sounds and turn them into
contest exchanges, etc. it is not operating (to me) .
What is the sizzle, what is the romance, why bother?
Data exchange is not operating, IMHO. That's what the internet is for!
And I agree that it is possible to copy more stations at one time on CW
than phone - if you are really good!
73, am not trying to start a fire just stating my opinion - granted it
is from someone who feels older than N6TJ.

Well - to each their own - and anything that gets people excited about
doing radio is good.
However, for this op, having the radio signals in my head is where
the fun is. Hearing those dahs come off the moon (with my ears) is
so much more exciting than seeing some kind of computer printout.
Would phone sex be a bad analogy?
I have no interest in pursuing any kind of operating where the human
isn't in the receiving loop.

A monkey with a computer connection and thousands to spend on radio gear,
maybe.
Could somebody forward me this monkey's e-mail address.... I'm having a
bugger of a time setting up my MK-V for the digital modes.
Perhaps I just eat too many banannas, but I don't really think that all new
things are bad. (Just not as good as CW)

I agree. I've operated all 3 modes, and feel that the least amount of skill

1. The FQP
2. SSB

Not to mention the technical side. Setting up a top-notch RTTY
station takes more than plugging a key into the CW jack,
especially on the receiving end. And yet it's not rocket science
either; it can be done by most anyone who has the desire.
Give it a try, why doncha?

_________________________________________________________
True of course, but still beside point for me. What we are doing
is using RADIO for communication. If you want real human
involvement in your communications, go talk to the neighbor over
the back fence. That far exceeds anything you can do with radio.
I'm trying to point out that we have a technically-oriented
hobby. Nobody gets their license because they want to improve
their people skills. For some operators just picking up a mike
or key is enough. For others, they become fascinated by the
technical details and pursue their interests to a fare-thee-well.
I'd guess I'm about halfway up the curve. I have a lot invested
in my station (time and money), but it pales beside what some of
the EME guys do. Or the very top contesters and DXers.
IMO, we are engaged in a technical hobby. The human interchange
is fun but secondary, and not the real driving force. YMMV and
probably does, but that's how I see it.

Message-ID: <000d01c23d94$9d050040$9b00a8c0@nt.charterne.com>
Lots of pro's and con's on this "issue" sparked by Trey's ambitious and
thoughtful ideas.
Most of the pro's and con's have been covered except for
family issues and career issues. These are issues that are not safe
to ignore.
Each year from about mid-January to the 3rd week in April,
I run a work marathon filled with issues of accounting, taxes, investments,
market trading, etc. Anyone in the financial services, tax or legal areas
has to deal with this. Some of us have more time and business
commitments than others.
In my case, it is almost impossible to make the time to operate in
both ARRLDX contests and CQWPX SSB. Fixing antennas is out of
the question, as is even thinking about the CQ160, Sprint or
anything else. Reviewing the log for typos (yes, I do this), and attempting
to write comments or contest notes stretches me almost to the breaking
point (as well as my family).
Now it is proposed that we have a 15 day deadline that for ARRLDX CW logs
will fall, depending on the calendar, either in the middle of ARRLDXSSB
weekend or shortly before it? It's just too soon in the middle of too much
going
on.
Perhaps this will be ok for others, but not for me. I also do not
understand how the difference between 15 and 30 days can be so pivotal and
crucial.
Let's first eliminate all the other sources of delays and deadlines before
we mess with this. Until and unless Congress changes our tax system and the
end of year work required to deal with it, a 15 day deadline virtually
ensures that I will have to make a choice between operating and not
submitting a log
or not operating at all.
I can't believe that this type of a choice, forced on the participants,
could be beneficial to any contest. For years we have waited many months
for the contest results. If instead of 7 months it will now take only 4
months, that's a great improvement! So why should it now be crucial to have
the results in 3.6 months instead of 4.0 moths?
I can wait, and I believe, so can a lot of the other participants.

Amen to that. Why does everything have to be (1) data rate, or (2) skill
involved? What IS this compulsion for speed?
CW is simply, pure FUN. (Remember when that was a sufficient goal?)
Before computers, and memory keyers, and electronic keyers, it was just
plain FUN listening to "fists". Anyone here remember those?
Some of the operators I was blessed to work (and know), like W3GRF, W3BES,
W4KFC, W6CUF, KH6IJ, W9IOP - they had unique FISTS. I wasted more SS time,
just sitting there listening to W4KFC run them at seemingly impossible
rates. Or the rat-a-tat-tat of KH6IJ. That was simply fun.
Even more recently, I wasted too much time in the 1984 CQ WW CW @ EA9KF
marveling at my friend N6AA @ 9Y4VT running Europe on 40 meters. Flawless,
and the skill all between the ears.
Computer screen, not required.
And Ville OH2MM @ EA8EA. You guys want to hear how the best does it?
I don't begin to purport to be as skilled as the afore-mentioned (as
everyone knows by now, I'm just perhaps more tenacious, and unfortunately
will out-last most of them), but when I'm running a pile-up from, say ZD8Z,
I envision myself as the conductor of a large orchestra (bear with me here,
guys). OK, it's your turn. And now yours, etc.
Done right, CW is music to our ears. That's it: CW is music. Anyone here
think they can come-up with something better than music?

>>> Anyone who can explain the merits of handing out QTC's in the WAE contest
Funny thing... I was thinking about this on my way home from work, hah!
Paul K4JA made an excellent point to Jerry KE9I and I after last
year's WAE SSB contest. We left a little too many unsent potential QTCs
on the table due to poor strategy on my part! I thought Sunday we would
be able to dump QTCs like crazy but that didn't work out.
QTCs usually contain info from 10 previous QSOs. Each QTC sent is
the same point value as each additional QSO. So assuming that you can
send off the 10 QTCs in maybe 1.5 to 2 mins (?) that would equate to
an hourly QSO rate of about 300-400. Even if sending 10 QTCs took
4 mins that would equate to an hourly rate of 150 QSOs/hour!
( 60mins / (time to send 10 QTCs in mins) ) * 10 = equivalent hourly QSO rate
And the rate "bump" works for both the EU and non-EU side of the contest....
Since we each get a point per QTC sent/recvd.
Now the punch line: You need more QSOs in order to send more QTCs!
Hats off to all the EU stations that are able to copy the QTCs sent at 30+ wpm!
Good luck everyone!
It should really be a lot of FUN...

Message-ID: <00a101c23ce2$7a2adca0$6501a8c0@don>
Attention RTTY Contesters:
Working with Wayne, K7WM, the contest manager for NAQP
RTTY, I've come up with a survey on my website asking RTTY
contesters to express their opinion on whether or not 160M should
be added to the RTTY part of NAQP (like it is for CW and SSB).
Please only vote once. When you vote and place comments on the
page, they are sent to me in an E-mail. I will tabulate the results and
give them to Wayne. You don't have to make any comments, but
your callsign will be required.
I will publish the results on the web site and make an announcement here.
This survey will run one week and will be disabled on Wednesday, August 14th.
This is only a survey. I am guessing that it would take a very high result
FOR including 160M to have any thought about changing the RTTY rules
and that is not likely to happen IMO. But you never know.
The URL to the survey is www.aa5au.com/naqp.

Well, RTTY operators have been using 2 or 3 radios for quite some time.
And it isn't a difficult task to process multiple digital signals at one
time. There are PSK31 appliactions that do this today.
In fact, if we get beyond the limitations of a radio "audio channel"
there's no reason a digital radio couldn't decode 15 kHz, 50 kHz or even
an entire band worth of signals similtaneously -- something that would be
difficult or impossible with the human ear.

Very nice straw man you've knocked down there.
If anything, digital modes using FSK, PSK or other types of modulation
are easier to decode multiple instances similtaneously than OOK
(on-off-keying) modulations (like CW).

This is essentially Shannon's law. (Actually, the law takes into account
both the bandwidth and the threshold above noise -- the total area
therein defines the maximum information content that can be moved aross a
defined channel)
So, it follows that ANY mode (as you indicated) which has a narrow
bandwidth would be effective on these noisier bands.
One DISadvantage of CW is that the transmitter isn't always keyed. At
extremely low signal levels, it is hard to discern at the receiver when
the signal is present and when it is absent. For this reason, FSK and PSK
have a distinct advantage over OOK (CW) -- at least a 2 dB advantage.

I've never seen it in actual use, but there is an application called
RITTY, that apparently makes RTTY contesting very fast an effective.
There's also a RTTY contest application that works in concert with it.
I believe the future may have already arrived when you weren't
watching....

Guy,
Please name one NASA space mission in the last 40 years that has used
CW/OOK as a means of information transmission.
The "zero" state is exactly the problem with OOK. That's why it is
inferior to FSK, PSK or QAM.
Although PSK has a higher duty cycle than OOK, it has a 4 dB advantage in
the presence of Gaussian noise. One could reduce the power by half (3 dB)
over an OOK transmitter and still maintain a 1 dB advantage. If the duty
cycle of an OOK transmitter is 50%, the power consumption would be the
same, and still the PSK transmitter would have a 1 dB advantage.
OOK doesn't cut the mustard for space communications.

CW is music, but certainly not better than the music at Alpine Valley,
Wisconsin, this past weekend (instead of the NAPQ), when The Other Ones,
the remaining Grateful Dead, performed for two days at their
Terrapin Station show.
Were any other contesters there, and did you notice the callsign K6A
showing between Phil Lesh and Bobby Weir on their big screen projection?
If that's a clue that they plan to get their licenses, and use that
special call sign, and if they get as good at CW music as they are
with their current instruments, WRTC 20xx will likely have new

Interesting discussions about various modes. Wish it was a little closer to
the topic of contesting.
Since most contests are CW only, SSB only, or digital only (and a few are
CW+SSB), should there be a change?
What if there was a contest that wasn't single mode (or if multiple mode,
didn't reward with extra points for QSOs on each mode like IARU HF)?
Maybe that would help to answer the question of which mode works best in which
conditions. You'd have to choose the mode that would give you the best
combination of rate combined with ability to find new stations and work them
fast. That happens somewhat in the IARU HF, but there is no major contest I'm
aware of where CW and digital modes are both allowed (except Field Day, and
digital activity is fairly minor).

Prove it. I'll wait to see meaningful results or data before
I take your word for it. I've never seen any rates for RTTY that are
anywhere close to either CW or SSB rates. It would be interesting to
know what K3MM or N4GN (previous record holder) had for peak rates
but I would doubt they could be much above 120/hour even under optimum
conditions and with plenty of stations calling. Time for some facts
rather than more unsubstantiated opinions.

That would be a neat contest, though I wonder the extent to which you could
convince ops whose stations aren't already equipped to do the digital modes.
It is, of course, easier now with sound card applications that essentially
only require audio, PTT and control connections to a radio, but I imagine a
lot of ops won't bother even to do that (or if they have the requisite
connections, even to load the digital-mode application).
Be that as it may, PSK modes may be the answer to contesting during the
sunspot doldrums, or for those of us in the black hole...
Funny how the course of this thread changed from "which mode is technically
superior?" to "which mode is most fun?" I think it has been demonstrated
that PSK31 wins hands down in the technical superiority challenge but I'd
have to agree it falls dreadfully short on the fun-to-do scale. (I mean,
really, how can anyone contest the superiority of a mode that allows full
copy on signals that you can't even hear?)
That said, I will NOT be trading my Benchers for a PSK program anytime soon.

Inspired (!) by the recent debate on here about digital modes, etc. I
drafted the following editorial for the UK's Chiltern DX Club Digest (a
temporary distraction from working on IOTA Contest logs). But then I
thought, what the heck, some of you "Reflectees" might enjoy it too. If not,
the Delete key isn't far away ..
73 Don G3XTT
g3xtt@lineone.net
There has been a long-running debate on the Contests reflector recently
about whether digital modes such as PSK31 and WSJT (used on VHF for weak
signal work) are "real" amateur radio. Views, as you might expect, vary from
"CW is the only real mode" to those who believe the new modes will
eventually oust CW and SSB altogether. Indeed, there seems to be another
theory on the go to the effect that the FCC will eventually ban the
"traditional" modes altogether, as being obsolete, and insist that the
amateur bands only be used for high-tech modes. As always, I suspect the
real truth is far from either extreme.
Far be it from me to give a definitive answer, as there are obviously many
shades between the two extremes I have described. But it seems to me there
are several elements here, and to focus on just one of them is to hobble
this fascinating and broad-based hobby of ours.
Firstly, there is the aspect of amateur radio which lies in technical
experimentation (which increasingly nowadays means software rather than
hardware, that being the nature of the way technology has evolved). Amateurs
have a distinguished history of technological innovation, and to see
amateurs pioneering new ways of, for example, reliably achieving VHF/UHF
communication via the moon with much more modest stations than heretofore is
an example of real progress. It opens up low signal work to a much greater
community than before. Who knows, the professionals may have something to
learn from this too, as they did from packet radio and other advances. And,
of course, if radio amateurs refuse to adopt technological advances, we
might just as well still be using AM or even spark gaps. All this
experimentation, of course, helps also to hone our technological skills,
continuing amateur radio's role as a pool of communications specialists,
which employers can and do draw from (at least one UK employer in the
communications sector will automatically shortlist any job application from
a licensed amateur).
Secondly, there is the aspect of amateur radio which is public service,
perhaps less so in the UK, but very much so in the USA, the Caribbean
islands, and elsewhere. There is already an inquiry underway into why the
professional communicators were less than impressive in the aftermath of
September 11th, and we are all aware that radio amateurs played an important
role in plugging the gap. But supporting professionals in emergency
situations require that we be professional ourselves. This can mean, for
example, employing the latest technology, particularly digital technology.
However much we love SSB or CW, a packet message will almost certainly be
delivered with a higher degree of accuracy and, perhaps even more
importantly, with an audit trail.
Thirdly, there is the actual operating element. CW and SSB demand specific
skills (CW especially so), and employing those skills, especially in a
competitive situation (DXing or contesting) hones them, while giving us a
real sense of satisfaction. It is a moot point whether those skills are
transferable in the 21st century but, in a sense, this doesn't matter, any
more than whether a fly fisherman could be useful on a trawler. Some would
argue that the digital modes require no skill, as the operator isn't
actually listening to, and decoding the signals himself. Anyone who has
operated a digital modes contest is likely to disagree strongly; the
workload can be even higher than the traditional modes if a high QSO rate is
to be maintained. Certainly there are all the usual strategy decisions of
when to run, when to search and pounce, when to change bands, etc.
Fourthly, (lastly, or are there other aspects I should have mentioned too?),
amateur radio is very much a bridge between nations, perhaps one of its most
vital roles when there is so much suspicion and enmity around. Do the new
modes help or hinder? Amateurs have always argued that CW is great, because
even the poorest amateurs in emerging countries can probably buy or build a
CW rig. CW also goes a long way to overcoming language barriers. But wait a
minute. Who is to teach CW to those aspirants in the developing world. From
personal experience in Africa and elsewhere, probably no one. I could
equally argue that digital modes have real benefits. The amateur in a
tenament building with little or no room for outside antennas, and
surrounded by electrical noise from neighbouring appliances, may find HF
radio quite impossible. But the new modes, able to discern signals at much
lower levels, even below the noise threshold, may give his hobby a new lease
of life (indeed, for may amateurs, PSK31 has already done exactly that).
And who knows, in the not too distant future, real-time translation software
may totally remove the language barrier, bringing back into our
communications the thousands of amateurs who currently don't call us because
they are insufficiently confident in their use of English.
All in all, I believe that as a hobby we should embrace change as we always
have, while continuing, as individuals, to enjoy those aspects which
particularly appeal to us. Live and let live, as the old saying goes!

RTTY rates will never be higher than CW or SSB overall. The point is
moot. However, depending on the individual, RTTY rates can be higher
than in the other modes consistently.
For instance, my RTTY rates are always higher than my CW rates because
I've mastered SO2R on RTTY and not yet on CW even though I've
been CW contesting over 30 years.
The highest rate I've ever achieved as a single op on RTTY was 93 per hour.
I did this twice. During the first hour of the 2001 RTTY Roundup and the
2nd hour of the 2001 CQWW RTTY contest. Both were Low Power. I've
never achieved this rate on CW, ever, high or low power even though I've
tried. The problem with RTTY rates is that there are not as many RTTY
contesters as there are CW and SSB contesters. However, the number of
RTTY contesters is rising after every contest.

Hello fellow contesters;
I have read much of this thread on digital modes etc. There has been a lot
of talk along the lines of Chuck's post I am replying to. If we are talking
strictly about the copying of a signal, then yes, SSB and CW do require the
human component. However this discussion seems to miss what to me is a much
larger part of contesting - propagation, equipment, knowing your station,
knowing your personal limitations.
I personally have done a fair amount of SSB, CW and RTTY contesting. Yes,
when I do a RTTY contest I sit back with a burger in one hand and a beer in
the other, and occationally click the mouse. However, when there is a weak
one, I don't just give up and say "oh well, the machine can't copy it". I
read the text on the screen intently to see if I can find a prefix. I check
the clock to see if maybe there would be some other propagation mode that
might make sense (backscatter, skew path, long path etc) and try turning the
beam. Then I try a lower or higher antenna (even if it doesn't make sense).
I tweak the filters. I ask for fills. Often knowing to try these other
techniques brings the station up enough for the machine to do its work.
Sometimes this results in grabbing a mult, sometimes it isin't worth it -
just another DL. Before a contest I spend hours pouring over past years
logs of my station and other similar stations, planning, making band plans,
looking at current propigation conditions, deciding what band to be on when,
and beaming which direction. This often opens my eyes to wierd propigation
anomilies I can take advantage of, or a strategy that I tried last time that
clearly didn't work. It also allows me to make more balanced decisions
after a long night of 20/hr rates on 80M RTTY.
My point is that digital contests (at least RTTY) don't take the operator
out of the equation, it just relieves the operator from being the one to
copy the actual signal. There is still plenty of operator skill involved

Good idea because PSK contesting, IMO, is not fun at all (yet). Having entered
a good share of PSK contests, I can tell you that PSK31 is an excellent
conversational mode, but having nearly 20 years of RTTY contesting, I find PSK
contesting way too slow to be enjoyable. I no longer participate in PSK
contesting.
It's just not fun.
I believe the ARI International DX Contest is the only somewhat-major contest
that includes SSB, CW and Digital. When talking about Digital contesting, you
must think in terms of RTTY because any of the other digital modes are not
conducive to contesting at all. There is a mixed mode category in this contest.
I normally operate this contest RTTY only, and will occasionally work stations
with serial numbers several hundred higher than mine so I know these stations
are mixed. But the number of mixed stations appears to be low.
The CQ-M International DX Contest is SSB, CW and SSTV! There is no
combined SSB, CW & SSTV category though. There are combined SSB & CW
categories.
The Ukrainian DX Contest is CW, SSB & RTTY. The single op and mult op
categories are all mode only. But there is a RTTY only category.
For years, many RTTY operators have wanted RTTY included in the ARRL
10 meter contest (including me). I dabble in the CW part of the contest,
but like a lot of RTTY operators, feel we are missing out on the fun of the
ten meter contest. We feel the 28200-28300 section of the band could be used
for RTTY. They could still retain the mixed CW & SSB category and add
a RTTY only category for single and multi ops and reach more of the contesting
community as a whole. Even if RTTY was restricted to 28250-28300, it would
be better than having no RTTY at all.
I don't know that an all-mode contest category will ever be popular. I'm
willing to guess that at best, many of us are two mode contesters but not
3 mode.

Exactly. Contesting is NOT about which mode gives the most 'reliable
transport'. In fact, the more reliable the transport mechanics, the less
opportunity for the operator to get involved and make a difference. If I
want high-rate reliable transport, I'll use TCP/IP over fiber. If we're
talking about Health-and-Welfare emergency traffic, I'll take an
error-correcting mode with zero requirements on the operator.
Contesting is fun precisely because it's hard enough that there is no
guaranteed winning strategy and has enough variability that the game is
always different. By increasing the reliability of the communications, the
amount of variability, and thus, the fun, is reduced.

I can't sit quietly while this thread goes on.
Below, W4ZV suggests that because RTTY contest scores are
generally lower than their CW or SSB counterparts, he can
conclude that RTTY and other digital modes are slower and
have inherently lower rates than their CW or SSB counterparts.
I don't want to endorse AA4LR's software choices without
the necessary expertise, but I'd have to object to the closed
mindedness that W4ZV displays.
I'm a guy who "loves" the music of contesting, and for me that
means the chorus of SSB contesters, the symphony of CW,
and the grand combinations found in contests like the CQP.
But, for me, modern RTTY contests are like sheet music.
Sheet music just doesn't have the same sound as music that's
being performed. But, old time RTTY contests with the old
Model 15's kerchunking away rhythmically-- now that was
percussion.
Be that as it may, I'd still have to object that with sufficient
activity and technical advancement the digital modes have the
potential for much higher contest score yields than CW and
SSB. There's simply not enough digital mode contesting to
drive the scores up. Perhaps this is because many digital
mode contesters are active on CW and SSB while only a
fraction of CW and SSB contesters are active on digital
modes.
When I began contesting, and W4ZV as well, the record
high CW scores for most contests typically eclipsed the
phone scores just as the record high phone score he lists
below eclipses the RTTY score. How quickly he forgets.

Very interesting.
This topic has come up before -- why not include RTTY on 160m?
Traditionally, hams have found that 45 baud RTTY doesn't work so hot on
160m. The reason for this is the same reason that 300 baud packet doesn't
work so hot on 40m, and virtually not at all on 80m.
The specific problem has to do with the nature of the communications
channel on HF, well below the MUF. At these frequencies, there will often
be several propagation paths between two points. This multipath
propagation produces some interesting effects, including the observed
fading of the mark or space frequency.
There is one other effect -- multipath distortion of symbols. Since each
path has a slightly different distance, each change in the digital signal
arrives at slightly different times at the receiver. As you move further
below the MUF, the effect is much more pronounced. At some point, digital
symbols are smeared together, and cannot be easily separated.
Higher symbol rates (300 baud) show this effect at higher frequencies. 45
baud RTTY has been used effectively for many years on 80m -- but not on
160m.
The solution is simply to increase the symbol length. For single-bit
modes like Baudot RTTY, this would also decrease the information rate.
But, better to get the information across slowly than not at all.
PSK31, with it's lower symbol rate, may be more effective on 160m than
conventional Baudot RTTY. Slowing RTTY to 30 or 22 baud ought to be more
than sufficient to make reliable communications possible on 160m.

_________________________________________________________
There is another compensating factor on 160 meters which reduces
many of the effects that Bill mentions: Most 160 meter QSOs are
at a shorter distance than on the higher frequencies. The closer
the two stations, the less chance for multipath distortion.
Granted, if you tried to work a station half way around the world
on 160 meter RTTY, it would probably be a mess, if it even could
be done. But half way across the country ain't that bad. I only
have eight 160 meter RTTY QSOs in the log, but I don't recall any
particular difficulty with any of them. The farthest one was
about 1500 miles.
I'd like to give NAQP or some other contest a try. If it really
doesn't work, we can always go back.

I am thinking out loud here, but I do have some small experience with data
recovery in a difficult channel...
There are many ways to solve the problem (other than increasing the symbol
rate), even within the existing protocol. In general, the trick is to
correctly characterize the error function of the channel and to compensate
for this during transmit and/or receive.
Seems to me that if we set up the challenge of 160m for the folks who write
the RTTY software, we may very well end up with an improved product on the
other bands.

A year ago I was using PED to help polish my CW keyboarding skills. After a
few hours practice, I was up to 240 simulated Q's per hour CW. The most I
have ever seen in my WL rate window on RTTY is about 115 real ones.

Message-ID: <200208090659.g796xs102099@dl6rai.muc.de>
Hello Contesters!
The 48th WAE-DX-Contest is scheduled for the upcoming weekend, August
10/11 for the telegraphy portion. Operation is restricted to the
five classic HF bands from 10 to 80 meters. Exchange RST and serial
number. If you want to get serious, check out the rules, which are
published on the WAEDC Web site at http://www.waedc.de. Be sure to read
the chapter about QTC traffic.
There are minor changes in the rules in respect to previous years:
new DX multipliers for EU participants, a low power category, markup
of unassisted OPs, no more 10 minute QSY rule for Single OPs and
other little changes.
For the EU's:
Activities from some rare spots have been announced for the contest:
9Y4/DL5MAE, 5B4AGN, 9K9O, FR5FD, HS0/OZ1HET, JY9QJ, PJ2M, VP2V/N2WKS,
YB0ECT, ZL6QH and ZS4TX. Remember that at this time of the year,
stations in the southern hemisphere are enjoying good and quiet low band
propagation and so interesting QSOs can be made during WAEDC-CW with
South America, South Africa and Australia/New Zealand on the 80 m band.
For the non-EU's:
Several of the rare EU countries are expected to show up in this event.
Tune the bands and watch out for the 3A, C3, CU, GD, GJ, SV5, SV9, TK
and ZA stations! It is a good time to improve your DXCC totals. Join the
fun by sending QTCs back to EU stations. You don't need a big station
for this, everybody will want you even if you only have a tiny signal.
If you want to listen in on how QTCs traffic sounds, take a look at the
WAEDC Web site where some MP3 files of last year's QTC traffic are
available.
Last minute information is available on the WAEDC Web site
at http://www.waedc.de.
See you all during the weekend!

Interesting to see that there were 109 checklogs!
That is more entrants than 12 other categories (63%):
SO10HP, SO15HP, SO20LP, SO20HP, SO40LP,
SO40HP, SO80LP, SO80HP, SO160LP, SO160HP,
QRP, MM
Does this show that all the extra categories might not
draw enough participates to warrant the extra categories?
Has the WPX gone too far in having too many categories?

> >>> Anyone who can explain the merits of handing out QTC's in the WAE
contest
Because it's different than the other contests and THAT is what makes the
WAE so much fun. It's different. Different scoring, different challenges,
different skills, ... It's a great contest!
> Hats off to all the EU stations that are able to copy the QTCs sent at 30+
wpm!
Amen to that!!

My TS850S repair web page has several new updates to it (thanks to
people like you who are contributing). I know a lot of people use
this radio in contests - and it is a very good value these days as
you can have a great radio with filters for under a kilo-buck on
e-bay.
Please check it out - there are many well known common failures that
are discussed.

And Bob is not commenting the single band scores in the magazine anymore.
But there is at least one single band score I would like to point out, check
this:
28MHz
HC8A 3.916.600 6957 39 161
(op N6KT)
That's almost 7000qs on 10 meters! (And almost 4 million points)
Wow, another great score from "Mr. Fast" !

Message-ID: <004001c24188$8258a380$84abe4d8@bendcable.com>
I am looking for a small rig to take on a low pressure DX-pedition.
The country's power limit is 150W. The obvious answer is one of the smaller
"mobile rigs' IC706, TS-50S, FT-100, etc.
My question is which of the above is the best CW rig for a multiple
transmitter environment? I do not need 2m or 432 but 6m would be nice.

HI!
As far as I know the best small radio is ic706mk2g (price performance), but
depence what you need and like. If you do not want to spent much money ic735
would serve also!

QTC copy is much more enjoyable if traffic is sent in a smart fashion.
No need for repeated hour or leading zeros in received serial numbers.
UA9s are very good at that!

Hi Jim
It's plain to see you have never operated a RTTY contest. CW
contests are FUN, but so are RTTY contests. You have to make the
same decisions in either contest. When to change bands. Moving
guys from band to band. When to run and when to S&P. Run 2
radios or 1 radio. Catching that LP opening on 10 meters for a
quick couple of new ones. The excitement of seeing (or hearing)
a "goodie" come back to me is the same, no matter what contest or
mode it is. Try it, you'll like it!! Now PSK31, that's a horse
of a different color. Not much fun talking to a buffer in
someone's computer. 73

The 100W version of the Elecraft K2 is the best small CW rig, hands down, if
you can get your hands on one - or if you have the time to build one before
the trip.
I would not recommend the FT-100 for multi-tx: it seems to have some sort of
low-level broadband noise it spits out that is enough to really annoy other
nearby rigs. Filtering will clean it up, but that would seem to defeat your
size purpose. Other than that, the 100 is a pretty nice rig.
hope this helps - 73 - jeff wk6i

Tom is right on the ball with his answer Jim. I love cw also, but one
of the most fascinating things about RTTY is you never have to hear a
single sound. Just sit there with the mouse and go go go.
Plus, you won't wake up Monday morning to "diddle diddle" ringing in
your ears! ):>
Come on and give us a try, you find the RTTY folks are about the
nicest bunch you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting.

Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.0208121437370.2899-100000@fresno.akorn.net>
Contesting.com & eHam.net Users
I have been hosting the Contesting.com and eHam.net web sites and mailing
lists on my network since 1996. In the beginning, my company (Akorn
Access) provided the hosting for free. Since we started the eHam.net web
site two years ago and began to accept advertising, eHam has been able to
pay a small amount each month toward the hosting costs.
Today, eHam.net and Contesting.com steadily consume more than a T-1 of
bandwidth. Combined, the two sites deliver well over 4 million pages and
push more than 200 gigabytes of data each month. The success of both
sites and all of the mailing lists are demanding more and redundant
bandwidth. However, we face the question of how to pay for it.
The cost to host this level of bandwidth most anywhere else would exceed
$2000 per month. eHam is currently able to contribute only $250.00 per
month, leaving Akorn Access out of pocket for at least $23,700 per year.
In the past, I have been able to cover these costs because Akorn was doing
well enough in other areas and the utilization was not as high. With the
recent slow down in the economy and our changing Internet access business,
Akorn is unable to continue this level of support. Additionally, many
potential advertisers are engrained in their print advertising, and refuse
to acknowledge the Internet as a viable method of promoting their
products. Although we continue to sign up new advertisers, they are not
coming (and funding the site) at the same rate as the bandwidth
utilization.
So, with regret, I'm reluctantly forced to turn to the users of both sites
for ongoing assistance.
We have an annual subscription program at eHam.net for users to help pay
for the site operations. We don't define the amount of the subscription,
but rather suggest that each user define for themselves the site's value,
and consider their own financial ability to subscribe. We suggest
comparing how much time you spend reading QST or CQ magazines with how
much time you spend reading eHam.net, Contesting.com, or the various
mailing lists when making your decision.
You can help by subscribing at http://www.eham.net/cart/product/111. If
you are unable to contribute by credit card, you can send a check to
eHam.net, 5095 Hamptons Club Drive, Alpharetta, GA 30004.
Many thanks & 73
Bill Fisher, W4AN
PS - I should also point out that we have many volunteers working on both
Contesting.com and eHam.net who receive no compensation at all. These
folks volunteer their time to provide the rest of us these services. A
list of volunteers can be found on both sites, and it would go a long way
if you would write just one of them expressing your appreciation for their
time.

Hi Dick
Beware the IC706 in a multi rig environment. Steve G3VMW and I tried this a
few years ago and it was horrible. The 706 meets it's small size spec by
missing out some pretty important stuff....filtering! As a consequence the
706 generates some very significant broadband synth trash as soon as you go
to transmit....even with the key up. This problem stopped us using 706's on
DXpeditions where there was to be more than just one station on the air.
The TS50 doesn't seem to have this problem but it doesn't have 6m. I have no
experience of the FT100.
Roger G3SXW and I have used TS570s very successfully in multi-station
expedition set ups but they are rather larger than the radios you've
mentioned.
My own DXpedition rig of choice is now easily the Elecraft K2/100. No 6m
but boy what a radio. Superb rx performance and excellent QSK. Again a
little bigger than the 706 etc but still only 8 x 8.5 x 3 inches and easily
fits in hand baggage. It comes in kit form so you have to build it, though
if you wanted to buy one ready made I think you could find one easily with a
mail to the Elecraft reflector. There are folks out there who are in love
with just building the things!
Have fun.

Hi Pete!
I think Ham Radio carries them for about $1000. Before
spending that, you might consider their software version called
World Watch which lists for $50. http://www.geochronusa.com/
Depending on what you want to do, there are better
software programs available IMHO. I use one called DX-Aid
which costs $25...see some plots here:

Subject: [CQ-Contest] DX Phone Writeup - Your Input Needed!
Message-ID: <037001c242e3$f0937440$27d7fea9@mirage>
Hi all,
I'm writing up the ARRL DX Phone contest reports for both QST and the ARRL Web
site. I'm looking for stories, scores, tall tales, photographs, and interesting
tidbits from the contest.
DX perspectives have been under-represented in the past, so with the expanded
coverage available on the Web I'd like to feature more material from outside NA.
I am also open to good ideas for the writeups in general - is there a topic
that should be covered or a new perspective? On the Web site, we can also
publish some sidebar-style digressions that tackle a small topic
in-depth...authors welcome!
Please send your suggestions or material to n0ax@arrl.net!
73, Ward N0AX

I also recommend Geoclock (both Windows and DOS versions):
http://www.geoclock.com/
We use it at KC1XX on three computers in the corners of the room. A lot
cheaper than Geochron!

There's never been a contesting column in QST.
Contest results, as it happens, usually come out at least once each month,
so there is almost always contest content in each issue of QST, but there
is no regular column where content not related to the results of a specific
contest can be discussed.

Can't miss what we never had.
There's been a Contest Corral listing upcoming contests in QST for years.
But, I don't remember and, after going back to 1998 mags, don't find a QST
contest column or anything similar to K1AR's column in CQ.

As I look at my September 2002 QST, I see the following:
1) There is a contest related story thanks to W1WEF.
2) There is a contest write-up and line scores for RTTY Roundup
3) There is a contest write-up and line scores for 10m contest
4) There is a contest write-up for School Club Roundup with scores
5) There is a contest corral department. This is where the other items
mentioned above are also listed (DX, Public Service, QRP, etc).
A quick count shows that the above stories occupy roughly 18 pages of
QST. There are 160 pages in this QST. That means that 11% of this QST
contains contesting info.
Also, as I look back at other recent QST's... I don't see anything that
is now missing or different.
I am generally fairly observant but maybe I missed something?
Perhaps someone could say that if contesting is going to get 1 page in
QST (the department section) is the contest corral the best use of our
one page? But that is a different question/debate.
73, Tim K9TM

I heard that a new Multi-Two category is being added to CQWW, but I
can't find the 2002 rules on cqww.com or any other website. Anybody
knows about that? Any details?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Small rig - Summary
Message-ID: <00a801c244e7$4d067c40$84abe4d8@bendcable.com>
The purpose of my question was to determine which small 100W rig was best to
take on a DXpedition where all rigs would be fairly close together but all
limited to 100W.
My thanks to all 25 who responded.
The hands down winner was the K2-100. 13 votes and it was not even on the
list. Clearly it is the best in a large signal environment and is a super
rig on CW.
The FT100 and IC706 each got some votes but also as many poor marks for
signal handling and for broadband noise and/or spurious trash on TX.
The best of the three rigs listed in my original inquiry was the TS50,
especially since they can be had on the used market for as little as $350,
and got positive comments in the recent VP8 write-ups.
Single votes were cast for the JST245, IC740, and IC736.
Now all we need is some of those small 20+A switchmode supplies, and we're
ready to fly. Anyone want to offer opinions of these? Alinco, Astron,
MFJ...?

Check out the Samlex America supplies-light in weight, small footprint, no
meters, remove a jumper and it'll run on 240 V and inexpensive to boot.

Here's my $.02 worth. I've had a SAMLEX SEC1223 (20A continuous, 23A ICS) for
almost 3 years. It probably has 1000 hours on it because for a couple of
years I used it to run my FT990 at home and it was turned on 24/7. A couple
of years ago, it was relegated to being the traveling power supply
accompanying the 990 for trips after I acquired my FT1000D. Most recent
contest uses were FDin PR thus year as NP4A where it ran the GOTA station,
and CQ WPX CW 2001 as FO8DX. In the latter case it ran on 220V (well actually
240V) from a generator.
I have nothing but praise for the unit. It's never let me down, even when it
was literally too hot to touch. (High temperatures, high humidity and a high
duty cycle in French Polynesia will do that).
Some RF noise, but above 40M it's tolerable being some 30 to 40 dB down from
the usual signals.
And the best part, it's the cheapest of the bunch at a street price of $99.95

All you need to do is use the column offset variable on the command line.
For example, on my latest NAQP CW Cabrillo log, the following works just
fine:
rate n4gn.cbr rate.txt 25

NA does support the dvp. It can not use nettsr.
With ct an Ethernet switch should work ok with nettsr, but it shouldn't
provide any advantage over a hub or 10base2 coax lan unless you are on a
network that is already congested with other traffic. Also with a hub
or switch you are more likely to have rf problems.

You *can* use QRATE with Cabrillo files.
Just hack out the text at the top and the bottom of the file,
and resave it as say rate.txt, and run the prog. normally. From
memory the time column is at position 25, but do double check
that! Works just fine for me.

QRATE works with any ASCII file, including Cabrillo.
Use a command line like this:
RATE YOURCALL.LOG RATESUMM.TXT 17
Works great!

Message-ID: <3D5E4C12.6000708@gte.net>
The September/October issue of NCJ went to the printer on August 9. It
should hit the streets in the first week of September.
This issue includes the first part of a WRTC2002 article, several
articles about contesting activities at Visalia and Dayton, a Beverage
antenna article, a review of DX Atlas, an article about setting up your
PC to easily run old DOS programs along with WINDOWS programs, an
article about the old Connecticut Wireless Association, CQ WW SSB 2001
from D4, and a twin spin on the PA QSO Party. The station profile is
about one of our VE friends, and the people profile is about a
well-known Western Pennsylvania contester. And of course we have our
regular columns.
We're working on more WRTC2002 articles for the Nov/Dec issue, along
with other interesting features. Be sure to visit our web site
(compliments of WA7BNM) at www.ncjweb.com

Only 4 months from contest to results, which will be available on their

Hi:
Just went to set CT V9.80 up for NAQP and can't find the

Am I missing something ???
Are we supposed to use one of the other contests for NAQP ???

Subject: [CQ-Contest] What Is a Contact?
Message-ID: <002401c246ce$85faab00$1e7ef3d8@n7df>
I read the World Above 50 MHz column by W3EP in September QST with great
interest.
The practice of so many stations of not sending their call with each contact
has been a sore point with me for some time.
One thing he missed in his write-up is that sending your call with each contact
is actually an FCC requirement.
?97.119 Station identification.
(a) Each amateur station, except a space station or telecommand station, must
transmit its assigned call sign on its transmitting channel at the end of each
communication, and at least every ten minutes during a communication, for the
purpose of clearly making the source of the transmissions from the station
known to those receiving the transmissions. No station may transmit
unidentified communications or signals, or transmit as the station call sign,
any call sign not authorized to the station.
If the contest sponsors were to do their job correctly, they would include this
requirement in the contest rules and disqualify any station that violated it.
Likewise, DXpeditions should be disqualified from accreditation for violation
of the requirement.
What I would like to see is a special group of Official Observers (or their
equivalent) who would monitor contest operations and DXpeditions for violation
of this FCC regulation. If several such observers simultaneously reported
repeated violations then the station should be disqualified.

Hi Dick;
The four (4) pound Astron SS-25 or SS-30 models work well; use a 30 (no

I have used the Samlex SEC1223 and Astron 25 and 30A switchers
on several DXpeditions. I've used them on 240V (the Samlex) and 120V
both on foreign commercial mains and on generators.
I have had a number of failures of the Samlex and a couple on the Astron.
However, I cannot attribute the failures to specific causes except possible
WX and environment exposure to the Astrons (Kingman Reef).
I like the Astrons for their meters which can help sometimes in
troubleshooting (or assurance monitoring) in the field. I had one failure
of the set-screw head of the DC power connector. I'll be interfacing a
RigRunner DC strip stuck on top for distribution (though I dislike their
using the same rated Anderson Powerpole connector for the input
as all the outputs...and wonder about their marketing/sales strategy
of telling people that, "It's okay- they'll handle a lot more current than
the manufacturer rates them at". Can we read, "Sue job". Granted, we
are not likely to have problems in typical amateur usage.
I like the Samlex for the their small size, weight and price. When I
convert them to 240V I put a label outside noting that fact and
cable tie the jumper inside to some adjacent wiring so it won't get
lost and is available.
I would still buy either model but so far have had better luck with the
Astrons. I don't have any experience with other brands other than
the internal switcher supplies that Icom used to sell for the IC751/745,
etc. For awhile those where the only ones available until the Samlex
and another one from Electro Automation? (don't recall the name)
came out.

That may work for stations under fcc jurisdiction, but not all countries
have the same identification requirements. There are also already
plenty of OO's who can send notices about identification problems now.
If you want to spend your contest time policing fcc rules, you are free
to do that and report what ever you find to the contest committees
and/or fcc for action, personally I have better things to do during a
contest.

Actually the rules require identification after each "communication"! IMHO,
a contest is a "continous" communication, and only ends when the advertised
time frame has elapsed? Therefore, "at least every ten minutes during a
communication" is not necessarily efficient, but within ?97.119 Station
identification FCC requirements.

_________________________________________________________
A jailhouse lawyer like myself could have a field day with this
one. Your original question was "What is a contact". I might
ask "What is a communication". Is it an exchange of information
with one station, or with more than one station? I'm sure there
is no shortage of interpretations, but only the FCC's
interpretation counts, and that seems to be lacking.
Looking at the rule as a whole, I believe the correct
interpretation should focus on the last part which states the
purpose of the identification. The FCC wants identification
every ten minutes AND at the time of going QRT. I don't read it
as being needed after each QSO. But hey, I haven't passed my
jailhouse lawyer bar exam either... :-)

Isn't that (one contest=one communication) pushing it a bit?
My understanding is that a 'communication' is a QSO.
According to The FCC Rule Book (ARRL, ISBN: 0-87259-245-6), page 6-4, the
Q&A explains that "legally, you have to ID only at the end of the QSO and at
least once every 10 minutes during the course of a QSO."
I accept the ARRL interpretation of the rule, since it was edited by Richard
Palm, K1CE, and he had a FCC staffer (John Johnston, W3BE) assist with the
editorial production of the book.

I found it. It is SAMLEX, not SAMLEC.
http://www.radiodan.com/misc/samlex1223.htm. Several dealers. The SEC 1223
seems to be priced from $89 to $99. Is one pound lighter than the Astron
SS-25 and much less expensive.

True, but contest sponsors are free to impose any additional rules they
wish, above and beyond FCC rules, and apply them to all participants
regardless of country.
IMHO adding such a rule in all contests would be a good thing. It already
exists in the Sprints and I don't see anyone complaining.
During a DXpedition, it is simply annoying to have to listen to a station
for 5 minutes before he IDs. During a contest, it is exceedingly
discourteous to the callers. At least the ones who are serious participants
in the contest.
=================================================================
"Contest OOs" are another issue. Actually I think that's a good idea too.
Everybody knows there are stations out there doing things they should get
disqualified for, but the chances they *will* get DQ'd are essentially zero.
It would not be easy to implement, especially on CW where anyone skilled
enough to catch violations would probably be participating in the contest.
It might be worth discussing though.

Congratulations to the gang at W5NN for a SUPERB VICTORY once again. This
time in the NAQP SSB M2 category.
The little station that could again comes through beating the Goliaths to
win nationally.
Unfortunately I was personally unable to operate due to other committments,
but the other guys again prove that big money, big towers, and big antennas
do not by themselves insure victory.
What is required for victory no matter where or with what someone operates
is hard work, and the knowledge required for the particular contest.
This is another testimony for all the small contest stations out there to
keep on trying. Victory can be attained with relatively modest stations.
Mike, once again, my hat is off to you. A job well done....an intelligent
contest plan pulled off with perfection. Way to go !!!!

At what point do we say enough with new rules? If we addressed every little
gripe on this reflector with a new rule, contest announcements would be
about as brief as War and Peace. The periodic reprintings of ARRL General
Rules would bankrupt the League. Serious stations would need to retain
attorneys just to figure it all out. Is that how far we want rulemaking to
go?
Certainly there are some blatant non-identifiers, but most stations that I
hear who don't ID after every QSO (and I think the jury is still out on
whether that really is what the FCC intends to stipulate (not that I need to
give one whit about what the FCC wants, unless I'm operating in the U.S.))
do tend to manage their pileups and their identity very well. My experience
in 20 years of contesting suggests the people like W9WI refers to are in the
vast minority.
If you tune across someone who isn't ID-ing as frequently as you would like,
it is likely because he knows that the people who were already in the pileup
know who he is. His failure to ID is possibly in some way a bonus to the
stations who got there first. It may be discourteous to the folk who are
newly tuned in, but it's not discourteous to those already calling.
But if you intend to be efficient about S&Ping, you should NOT be sitting
there long enough to get frustrated by his lack of IDs! Tune on, come back
later, dial him into a Quick Memory, plot him on your bandmap. BUT KEEP
WORKING STATIONS. Contests (like life) are too short to get your coax in a
knot over stuff like this. It only hurts your rate. If you can't work him
because he doesn't identify enough, DON'T! Don't let something like this let
you take your eye off the ball. Chances are by the time he does ID, he'll
just end up being the umpteenth zone 13 station you've worked anyway..
The worst thing you can do is be one of the loudmouth louts who yells
"WHAT'S YOUR CALL?" You're just interfering with those who already CAN work
the guy, and the law is quite clear on the legality of premeditated
interference. These folks are also hypocrites of the highest order, since
they don't include their callsign in their missive. Perhaps we need a rule
about that, too.
Sprints are unique, and require unique rules, because of the QSY rule. In
contests that actually allow running, the need for a rule about IDing is
less evident. If you don't like how someone is operating, don't work him.
Vote with your feet. Unless it's SS and the offending station is in VO1 or
VE8, there will be other mults, certainly there will be enough rate to make
up for it. But if enough people vote as you do, the other station will run
out of people to work and be forced to re-evaluate his operating technique.
You may believe that in the U.S., the quoted FCC regulation makes not IDing
after every Q against the law. I remain to be convinced. But even if it is,
remember, jaywalking is also illegal. In some places, chewing gum in a
public place is illegal. So is, in some areas, backing out of a front
driveway. But you know what, the world doesn't grind to a halt over any of
this stuff. The key here is perspective.

Yessirreebob. There's nothing like poor operating practices (the
hypocrites) piled on poor operating practices (the no-ID'ing station) to
make it a fun pileup.
Some/many/most of those asking his call may also be those who could and did
work the guy...but, then asked the question over and over and over again
because they don't know his callsign either!
I like the idea of all contests having a simple rule requiring both calls
within a QSO.
Seems to me to be more efficient for all concerned.

My attitude is exactly the same. I either skip working the station that does
not ID or just call him and when/if he comes back give him 59001 and ask him
his call sign.
That cost him few extra seconds to give the call sign and few more to make
sure I got it. If I do not get the call sign he is not in my log and will
loose points for two more QSO. If he does not meet my demand for his call
sign and does not put me into his log - he has still lost some valuable
time. It always works well. If every third station that gets through starts
asking his call he quickly gets the message.

Message-ID:
<C97F028E8BEBD111A52E00805FE67BAF0A71BD19@usintex16lax.udh.unistudios.com>
QST did a review of several switching power supplies in the January 2000 issue.
The SS-30M had the "cleanest" DC trace with less than 20mVpp ripple and no
detectable switching spikes while the Samlex 1223 showed less than 30mVpp
ripple but 600mVpp switching spikes. Broadband noise is also 10 to 25db higher
on the Samlex supply. Surprisingly enough, the MFJ unit looks like it has the
lowest spectral noise of all the supplies tested! Spectral plots and trace
displays are in the report. You can download it from the ARRL site in the
members-only section. It's about 670K in size because it includes other
product reviews.
I've confirmed on my TS-850S/AT that you can hear the switching noise. At
Field Day 2001, we used a couple of Samlex 1223 supplies and my '850 would pick
up a 3 S-unit "bump" in the noise floor every few dozen kHertz on most HF
bands. The noise completely disappeared when we turned off the switchers and
used battery power. Although my '850 heard the noise, we weren't able to
detect it on 6 or 2 meters with a TM-255A 2M radio (with TenTec 1209
transverter for 6M). Nor was the noise discernable on Oak Hills or NorCal QRP
HF rigs (the '850 is known to have a VERY sensitive receiver!). I recently
purchased a Astron SS-30M, but haven't had time to test it yet with the same
'850. If anyone's interested, I'll hook it up sometime soon at home and post
results.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Ohio QSO Party - This Saturday 8/24
Message-ID: <d2.1cc9e3f5.2a93f994@aol.com>
The 2002 Ohio QSO Party will be this Saturday, August 24, from 16Z (noon EDT)
to 04Z Sunday (Midnight EDT).
Full details are at the OQP Web site, www.mrrc.net/oqp
Several items of note:
This year we have added an out of state club competition. No great prizes,
but include your club name with your log and contribute to the glory of your
club.
Several logging programs have added OQP support. Writelog now has a module,
courtesy of Steve, N9OH, which is available at:
<A
HREF="http://www.xnet.com/~sjwoodr/ham/modules";>http://www.xnet.com/~sjwoodr/ham/modules</A>
Free logging programs which support OQP include GenLog by W3KM, N1MM, and a
special demo version of NA. Links to all of these are available at the OQP
web site.
To promote high band activity, folks are encouraged to check 10 meters on the
hour of even GMT/EDT hours. If 15 meter conditions are like this past
weekend in NAQP, check 15 early and often. If the band seems to be in the
dumps, check it anyway on the hour of odd GMT/EDT hours. Keep in mind that
E-skip propagation can occur at any hour of this contest, so keep checking.
The Ohio QSO Party includes big activity from one of the biggest states, and
one of the best crew of mobile contesters of any state QSO party. We hope
you'll join us on Saturday!

Thanks to many who responded to this. FYI, I learned
that CBS by K5KA calculates rates AFTER dupes are removed, in
addition to several other nice analysis features. K5KA says he
"may" modify it later this year to do multiplier analysis for
DX contests like it currently does for SS (see K5TR's response
for SS examples).

Subject: [CQ-Contest] TS870 Band data output
Message-ID: <006b01c248d0$243a6780$d8840ec3@shack1>
I love my TS870 which is a great radio but which because of its lack of band
data to control antenna and filter switching has been relegated to secondary
use in favour of two FT1000MPs in my SO2R set-up. I did use the 870 for a
while with band data generated by the logging computer but I didn't find
that too satisfactory. The problem being that if the computer crashed band
data was lost and the 870 was potentially exposed to front end damage when
band pass filters etc dropped out of circuit.
Yesterday, I decided to see if I could find a way of modifying my 870 to
provide the band data output it lacked. I found it to be remarkably easy to
achieve but not as 4-bit parallel band data (Yaesu) rather as direct decoded
band data the like of which a band decoder connected to a Yaesu rig would
provide. It seems to me this is a way better deal. I don't need an
external band decoder for the 870. It will now directly switch my Array
Solutions Six Pack and my Dunestar band-pass filters.
If anyone wishes their 870 could do this I am happy to provide details of
this relatively simple mod.
73 and good contesting.

Is a rule necessary? Maybe not. Obviously there are many on the reflector
who feel not. There is definitely considerable sentiment among the
operators I know that failure to ID frequently is a serious problem. This
view is largely expressed by the "little pistols", the folks who spend most
or all of the contest S&P.
Obviously the FCC does not consider this a serious issue even if they do
feel their rules require an ID with each QSO. Really I don't think this
issue should be one for governments to be involved in. Certainly
participants in a round-table or traffic net don't need to be forced to ID
every time they stop transmitting.
But they aren't in a hurry either - nothing is lost if a would-be new
participant has to wait around a few minutes to find out who he's listening
to. We're different.
> Chances are by the time he does ID, he'll just end up being the umpteenth
> zone 13 station you've worked anyway..
Very true. It's the possibility he might be that South Sandwich station
nobody expected to show up, and the fear I might pass him up because I
thought it was LU6XXX who I'd already worked and who only IDd every 5
minutes.
Anyway, I have developed a strategy for dealing with this. I'm not going to
take my chances that the non-IDing station might be a needed mult. (or even
needed QSO) If I hear someone running, and I don't know, by hearing his
call, that he's a dupe, I'm going to call him. (no, I'm not going to
jeopardize my rate by continuing to call if he doesn't come back reasonably
quickly) If, when he comes back to me, he hasn't given his call, I'm going
to ask him for it.
(I'm of mixed mind regarding what to do if, after asking for his call, he
still fails to ID. One option is to keep asking him, stepping on other
callers if necessary, until he IDs. The other is to scratch the QSO. On
the one hand, that gives him a NIL - on the other since it's probably going
to flag as a dupe on his end, it's not going to hurt him significantly.)
Would you, in the NAQP, call "CQ NA", and then insist on exchanging RST,
rig, weather, and occupation before you give your name and QTH? Of course
not; that would be an amazingly discourteous attempt to have a good time at
the expense of your fellow competitors. Intentionally failing to ID
frequently isn't quite as blatant but IMHO it's a similar behavior.

All--
This note it to give all of you a brief update on one of our favorite
subjects--CQ WW trophies. Here you go:
* All 2000 plaques have been produced and shipped. If you haven't received
yours, you will shortly.
* All requests for replacement awards that I have received have also been
produced and shipped. If you have not received an old award, now would be a
great time to let me know and I'll take care of it.
* The 2001 SSB plaques have already been ordered and should be available for
shipment in about 30 days. (thanks to K8DX for his assistance). The CW group
is right behind.
In addition, I have received numerous requests for duplicate awards, usually
multi-operations wanting plaques for each operator or a guest op wishing to
give an award to his host. If you are interested, the cost for each award is
$50. Send your request to me along with payment to: John Dorr, K1AR, 2
Mitchell Pond Road, Windham, NH 03087. I have my engraver a little
overwhelmed right now (she's processing nearly 200 plaques for me), so I
would guess the lead-time on these orders will be about 60 days.
We're making progress, guys. Thanks for your patience.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] NAQP and Icom
Message-ID: <20020821135404.E25254@cs.utexas.edu>
I just noticed that Icom is apparently a sponsor (of plaques
awarded to winners) of the North American QSO Party. Is this
the first instance of major ham radio company doing this sort of
thing to directly support contesting? I know Icom and Yaesu and
others have spent a lot to support DXing, but I haven't seen much
support for contesting before:

Message-ID: <001d01c2493c$ef8f3340$047b97d4@LarsAronsson>
The Top Of Europe Contesters (TOEC) hereby has the pleasure to invite all
amateur radio stations world wide to participate in the TOEC WW GRID CONTEST.
The aim of the contest is to boost the interest for "Grid hunting" on the HF
bands, and to introduce a contest where it is more important to copy the QSO
message than in most other similar events.
Contest event:
CW: August 24 - 25, 2002
Saturday 1200 UTC - Sunday 1200 UTC
Exchange:
RST + Grid Field/Square identifier, i.e. 599 JP73 (two letters (Grid Field) +

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Re: TS870 Band data output
Message-ID: <003f01c249a0$0271c280$159c0ec3@shack1>
A number of people have responded to my mailing requesting further details.
A few others responded pointing me to
www.dk9ip.de/DK9IPprojects/DK9IPdecod/dk9ipdecod.html and to
www.qsl.net/k0bx/ where information can be found on a similar mod for the
TS850. I guess this just goes to show that most things in life have already
been done! You just need to know where to find the details!
For those that asked I will describe the mod I have done. A look at the
above URLs will also be worthwhile.
My initial idea was to try to find a source of 4-bit parralel band data
(Yaesu style) within the 870. It doesn't exist as the 870 ships band data
around inside the radio in serial form. Of course this data has to be
decoded for the purpose of switching the selector relays in the Final filter
circuit. This job is done by IC1 on the Final filter board (TC9174F).
What I decided to do was to bring out 6 buffered switching lines for the six
HF contest bands to facilitate automatic switching of my Array Solutions Six
Pack and my six band Dunestars. I don't need lines for 30/17/12m but these
can be available for anyone that does.
I mounted a piece of .1 inch pitch strip board about 3/4 inch square on a
DB9 female connector. I did this by wedging the edge of the strip board
between the two horizontal sets of pins on the DB9 such that pins 1-5 of the
DB9 lined up on the centre 5 tracks of the 7 track wide strip board. Pins
1-5 were then soldered to the board. Pins 6 & 9 were wired with short wire
links to tracks at either edge of the board. I connected 6 npn switching
transistor collectors, one to each of pins 1-6 of the DB9 and all six
emitters were taken to ground. The bases of each of the transistors were
taken via a 5k6 1/4W resistor towards the back edge of the strip board to
which I attached a piece of ribbon cable.
I connected the other end of the ribbon cable to the collectors of Q10, 11,
12, 14, 15, 16 on the foil side of the Final filter board which can be
located top centre of the radio under a removable metal plate. The filter
board must be removed to make the connections. Connection is relatively
easy as Kenwood have located spare pads close and connected to the
collectors of these devices. In order to make the mod neat I didn't worry
about which of pins 1-6 on the DB9 related to which band. It turned out in
my case to be 1=20, 2=160, 3=80, 4=15, 5-40 & 6=10m. I used BC337
transistors which are good for switching up to 45V at close to an amp.
I removed the external auto ATU connector, which for me is redundant and
mounted my DB9 in its place. Anyone not wishing to remove this could
possibly feed the ribbon cable out at the back just under the case top.
I claim no rocket science here. This is just a simple mod that solves what
for me has been a significant shortcoming in the use of my Kenwood TS870 for
contesting. I pass it on to you for what it is worth.
73 and good contesting

Anyone knows what happened to LogPlus ? Used to be one of the best DOS
logging programs, then it was gone but it finally came back last year (
or early this year) with the announcement of Windows version. The
original site was www.logplus.com, then after the comeback it was on
logplus.org, but now it's gone again. Any info ?

Icom was a major supporter of WRTC '96, though I don't know what they may
have done for 2000 or 2002. In the beginning of our fund-raising efforts,
we were having a terrible time getting anyone in the industry to do anything
besides laugh at us and tell us how terrible the times were. Only HRO was
willing to help, kicking in a $10K donation to get us started. Then Icom
America got creative and donated a bunch of radios which we were able to
sell to raise funds. (By donating equipment instead of cash, they were able
to get around the watchful eyes of their JA overlords.) I don't recall
Yaesu's response to our requests, but I do remember Kenwood laughing us
right out of the room. I'm not a fan of Icom radios, since they can't ever
seem to get their CW output waveform right. But they have been a very good
corporate citizen in supporting the contest community

Does anyone have any .ant files for the QY4 modeling software by WA7RAI?
I've downloaded it and am playing a bit, but would like to see what
other people have come up with in terms of modeling(I'm completely green
at this, but the bug has bitten!). Looking primarily at building a 15M
monobander. Also, per OJ's suggestion, I'm looking for the K6STI program
but cant find a website for it-
Any help appreciated-

30 responses received. No pattern. Astron, MFJ and Sanlex all equal.
Everyone who has tried the small light 20/23A switches likes them for what
they are - small and light. They are usually not noisy -- several folks
said they are used in MM stations with no troubles.
One only thing they apparently do not like is power outages - over/under
supply. several comments on breaking them on island trips when the local
power dumped.
Thanks to all who replied.

Ah, the joys of living in Florida...another lightning hit. It looks like the
main xcvr, an Icom 775 is toast. The other 775 was not in line so it looks
like it is clean.
Insurance will be buying a new transceiver and since the 775 is approximately
the same price, if not more than the 756 Pro and the FT 1000MP5, it looks
like decision time. I loved the 775 and am tempted to get another. The
reliability and simplicity of use are great. I have also heard very nice
things about the 756 and the 1000.
I am primarily a phone contester and like the fact that both the 775 and the
1000 put out more than 100 watts which is handy for contests with the 150
watt limit. I do operate some CW and plan on doing more in the future but my
main love is SSB contests.
Some of the review posts suggest quality control is more of an issue with
Yaesu than Icom. More trips back to the shop, but some suggest the 1000 is
the ultimate rig.
My question is this: knowing what my operating habits are, if you were in my
shoes and price were no object, which of the three would you purchase and
why. Also which of the stock filters would you recomnmend. You can either
send the suggestions and critiques to me or post them. I am not trying to
start a war of Icom vs Yaesu, only to get a feeling from the community about
the pros and cons of each. .This should be interesting.
Thanks for the help.

Hey Bill,
There are a lot of super nifty radios out there. The most obvious
issue, to me, is similarity between your two radios. Personally,
I have minor problems moving between an MP and an MP MkV.
Many of the important push buttons are in different places, and
the DSP works on one radio and it's dog poo on the other.
If you are sufficiently mental agile, how about the new
Ten Tec, (Orion?) as the second radio? Amazing specs,
but no user reports yet.
Or, if you're really brave, how about the Elecraft K2 with
the 100W (and several other) additions. Mine has been on
loan far more than it has been here, but I fell in love with
it (at the five watt level) in the few hours that I've been
able to use it. Check it out. Would you FEEL competitive
with your rig about the same size as a big 2M box?
Neat problem you have. I look fwd to reading other
replies.

10. State Map of Ohio, takes two to hold the map. Please don't do this while
calling cq or driving.
9. Radar detector for detecting highway patrolman. If pulled over still can use
excuse, "I am lost on my way to Dayton"
8. Rolls of Quarters. Good for paying the toll at the toll gate of the Ohio
Turnpike. "Also good for flipping to see who gets to ride shotgun"
7. Copy of OQP rules. can be also used if you run out of toilet paper cause you
are im-between exits. Remember to read them first.
6. Lemon Diet coke but remember to throw away the cans. Not good for anything
except making a large vertical antenna. use your imagination.
5. AAA Touring guide of Ohio. You can use pages not used for extra TP or
something to even out your mobile rig. but if you do get lost there is another
map incase your large state map blew out the window.
4. Book of Ohio restaurants, list will include Cracker Barrel, Arby's,Wendy's
Cracker Barrel, Bill Knapp's (now closed), oh yeah did I say Cracker Barrel?
Remember you can get a discount if you show your last years OQP log thanks to
K8MR.
3. Binoculars, good for making extra points in OQP. paragraph 4.2 seen in
rules says your get 3 points for making eye contact with a durgible. the list
contains such well knows as the Goodyear, Budweiser, and any other UFO that you
can identify correctly.
2. Amish cook book makes good reading material while im-between QSO's and
driving behind horse and buggy.
1. teleohone number to K8MR's incase you get lost.
good luck,73

Message-ID: <4.2.0.58.20020822233311.0099b640@mail.comcast.net>
Bill,
Dayton 1995. There I was, owner of two IC-765s which I was very pleased
with, and wrestling with the exact same decision as you. IC-775 or
FT-1000D? W8WD and I must have walked between the ICOM and Yaesu booths a
half dozen times.
My decision was compounded by the fact that I harbored an active dislike
for Yaesu radios. I owned (and still own) a FT-107M (the WHITE radio) with
which I won the 1984 ARRL ARRL DX CW from HR1DAP. Still, every other Yaesu
HF radio I used struck me as rather odd: FT-101s (any version), the FT-102
and any model of the FT-7x7 family. I harbored a secret fondness for the
FT-ONE which I got to use at N5AU in the 1982 CQWW, but it still had its
oddities and a huge price tag to boot.
I walked out of Dayton 1995 with a brand new FT-1000D. In the seven years
since I've acquired four more used ones ("Ya got a used FT-1000D for sale,
call K8CC - he'll buy it" :-)). Another FT-1000D is a long term guest in
the shack, courtesy of a friend on assignment in DL-land. This past
January I bought a used FT-1000MP from AES to see if I was missing
anything. Multi-multis consume lots of radios...
When I sit down to single op, the FT-1000D is radio I get behind. Compared
to my IC-765s, its a much better SSB radio which is what I was looking to
improve. The SSB crystal filtering of that era (dual 2.7 KHz filters
yielding a -6dB bandwidth of 2.4 KHz) was not narrow enough. The IC-775
struck me as a DSP wrapped around the back end of a IC-765.
I am a big fan of "simple to operate". In this regard, the FT-1000D is
better than the FT-1000MP, although I've gotten used to it by now. The
TS-950SDX IMO was the worst in this regard - lots of little knobs with
medium gray legends which were difficult to read.
K6KM makes an excellent point - if you're going to do SO2R, you really need
two radios of the same model. I did 1991 SS with one IC-765 and one
IC-761. Same front panels, but different controls in different spots. The
same condition exists between the FT-1000MP and MKV/Field.
So there are a few data points to consider. If all you can do is replace
the blasted radio, I'd get another IC-775. If you want simple to use,
150W+ and competitive capabilities, I'd sell the IC-775 and get two FT-1000Ds.
FWIW

Another option, which I use:
One FT-1000D and one FT-990. A used FT-990 can be had for under
$1K. It is basically the same radio as the 1000D, with an almost
identical layout. It doesn't have a second receiver, which is really
unnecessary in SO2R (unless you like listening to 4 receivers during a
contest!)

Bill:
Sorry about your rig.
Seems like it will help you a lot to answer two questions:
how important is it to have two easy to use rcvers operatable
simultaneously?
and, would you prefer to be able to shift rx/tx from ant1 to ant2
on the front panel, or would you rather be able to use ant2 for subrcvr
diversity reception?
I have the FT1000Mk5 which I like a lot for the 2 rcvrs and the ability to
push a front panel button to switch between rx+tx on either ant1 or ant2.
My FT1000D doesn't let you do that since ant2 is never a tx antenna. But
it does let you use the subrcvr to simultanteously listen on the second
antenna - really neat when you've got a horizontally opposed ant plugged
in ant1 and a vertical on ant2. If it matters to you, the 1000D looks and
feels like the most quality piece of equipment I've ever owned.
Happy to be corrected by others out there who have more experience with
these rigs,

The basic point is this.
** Don't worry if the OTHER station is playing by
the FCC rules (assuming that station is under the
FCC's jurisdiction) just make sure that YOU are
following the rules as best YOU know how for your
OWN station **
I'm not responsible for any other station's
operations so I don't give a burnt out 6146 if
they ID at the end or not. If I get their calland
exchange and I'm following the rules as best I
can and they don't.. NOT MY PROBLEM! **
just 1 ham's opinion..

Message-ID: <46.2c8982e0.2a985be7@aol.com>
Thanks to all who posted on this topic. I hope I responded individually to
each of you. If I didn't, my apologies to you.
OK, it looks like if the 775 is toast when it arrives at the the repair site,
it will probably be replaced by a 1000MP V. After looking at the review in
QST and hearing the good things about it from you guys, I think it is a no
lose situation. If I like the other 775 I have which was not zapped better
than the 1000 the 775 will become the run radio. If I like the 1000 better,
the 775 will stay the S/P radio and the 1000 will be the main radio. I have
operated two different radios before and it has not been a problem. If it
becomes one, the rig I am least happy with will be replaced with a twin of
the other.
Here's the question. What set of filters would you guys recommend for SSB
and which set for CW? Most of my operation is in contests, and I have no
desire to fire up on any of the digital modes, RTTY etc.
Thanks again for the help guys.

Hi Dave -
12 years have past since I had my own station to operate....been on contest
DXpeditions and some multi-op since. Now I am building my own shack. My
Geochron arrived 2 days ago. My two FT-1000D's are still in their boxes (I
had the first one at KH3 and loved it, so I got the other and have never
used it). I have been gathering SO2R e-mails over the past 6 years so I can
make up the rest of the station. Now I will need to select the antenna
switching hardware and computer programs to go along with them. I have
always preferred TR over CT, simply because of my fear of the windows
environment causing crashing and the subtle flexibility Tree had vision to
include early in the game. I found a $50 used 486 computer just for keying
the radio. I picked up a Heil boom mike/headset at WRTC 2002 and hope to
have enough aluminum up to be on in time for SS.
Hope to CU on.
Thanks for your summary. It confirms I am heading in the right direction.
73,
Pete

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Looking for DXpedition logs with more than 10.000 QSO's
Message-ID: <025301c24b58$494e03d0$6401892c@amd1900>
Hello all,
I'm currently working together with K4UVT on a DXpedition Statistical
Log Analysis software called LogStat. This software reads an ADIF
DXpedition log and creates graphs on which operating strategy could be
changed. It will clearly show you what mode, band and continents needs
more attention, it also shows if the number of QSO's in a specific mode
goes down like RTTY or PSK so you know you have worked most of them and
can spent more time on other modes and bands.
An example based on our logs of last years DXpedition can be found on:
http://www.qsl.net/lldxt/j7_vp2m_2002/statistics-j7.html
What I want to ask you is to mail me a zipped ADIF file of one of your
DXpeditions (only > 10.000 QSO's, can be multiple callsigns), in return
I will mail you the statistical graphs. The reason of asking you this is
to test the software with "real" logs so we know if it can handle all
formats. Of course I will keep the logs confidential for my selves only.
Later this year the software will become available to all of you.
Hope to hear soon from you,

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Ohio QSO Party - TODAY!
Message-ID: <1bb.551befb.2a98cf56@aol.com>
Yes, it's ZERO days to the Ohio QSO Party!
The fun starts today at 16Z (noon EDT), and goes 12 hours until 04Z Sunday.
Suggested frequencies are 45 KHz above the bottom on CW, and 3850, 7225,
14250, 21300, and 28450 on SSB.
Exchange serial number and county (OH) or state, province (VE), or "DX".

QSO Parties like these are greatly impacted by their mobile operations. We
will have six such operations by experienced contesters: AF8A (+W8AV), K8CC
(+W8MJ), K8MR, NY4N, W1NN, and WT9U. Just between these mobiles all 88
counties will be activated. Add in lots of home, portable, and other mobile
operations and you can count on a great contest with lots of activity.
See you soon in the OQP!

Well, if you happen to be the World #1 in your category and then you
find out to be classified into the wrong category where you are 137th or
so, you wouldn't call it accuracy, would you.
What CQ WW Contest organizers MUST MUST MUST do is to publish claimed
scores on the web, just like Steve N8BJQ does for WPX contest. That
would help to avoid a lot of disappointment for some.

>From the Ten-Tec web page on 24 August 2002:
--------------
"Please note that as of today (June 19, 2002) that we have not published
complete spec and receiver performance data - we expect these to be
forthcoming shortly and will publish them to our web site in the near
future. Printed literature and revised photos of the Orion will be available
in the next few weeks."
We will begin deliveries in September 2002, but it is likely that backorder
status will stretch delivery of some orders for the Orion past that date.
First orders in are the first orders shipped."
---------------
Excuse me, but I'm from the computer industry. That's where you know a
marketeer is lying simply by the fact that his lips are moving. While I'm
sure there are some people who are so loyal to Ten-Tec that they would jump
at the chance to get an early spot on this waiting list, I suggest that
those "early adopters" are likely to end up the ones with the arrows in
their backs. Personally, I think I'll wait until I hear an Orion on the air
and can read some reliable lab reports before jumping on this bandwagon.

Icom provided brand-new IC765 and IC735 radios for each station in the
original WRTC in Seattle in 1990. I remember being very impressed
with the IC765, and regret not having brought one back with me at the
very advantageous price that was on offer.
Icom provided us with brand-new IC756PROII and IC7400 (also known
as IC746PRO) on loan to the GB50 Jubilee station, and the rigs worked
flawlessly.
It seems to me that both Yaesu and Icom have gone crazy with their
rig naming conventions. IC756PROII, FT1000MP MK-V Field. Yuk.
Only Kenwood have stayed with a more sensible choice of identifier
for their rigs, unfortuntately in the area where it matters - performance
- Kenwood seem to have lost the plot. Will be interested to hear what
contesters think of the Ten-Tec Orion when it hits the streets. At
present if I had to get a new radio it would be the K2/100.

I got to see the new Ten Tec Orion for the first time at the Boxboro
convention this weekend. It looks like a nice package - especially if you
like black! The look is kind of a cross between an Icom and a TenTec.
Word is that the original production run is sold out. Second run is
expected some time before Christmas.
This radio reflects a new concept in radio design. The hardware is a
platform with user interface (knobs, dials, display) and RF. The real
features will be enabled through software. Assuming they have a strong
platform (the specs look good), the innovation and possibilities will come
from software. Too early to tell if the Ten Tec engineering team is up for
that challenge, but assuming the software can be upgraded in the field, the
potential for continuous improvement is intriguing.
Given the expected product availability, you have some time to think about
it and wait for some of the early user comments.

The "marketing liar" who wrote the text that appears on the Ten-Tec

a thing or two about high-end receiver performance. I hear he even
gets on for the occasional CW contest. Unconfirmed at this hour...

George,
Great to hear back from you...sounds like fun..
Anyway, this online soapbox is the most exiting thing Ive seen from the
arrl in years..
If cq would do something like this it would add a new dimension to
contesting...
Just imagine getting all the soapbox commentaries that bring back the
memories of the contest and immediate information including photos of
the stations... this is fun all year long.. KUDOS to the arrl for this
effort...
Felipe

Most of the islands you've listed are owned by other countries and would
fly the flag of the parent country. The CIA World Fact Book might be a
good place to look.

Excellent group of programs. Not only do you get the Log Checker, you
also get a Cabrillo converter that converts just about any kind of log to
Cabrillo
and a Master Call database maintenance program which I use to maintain a very
large database for RTTY. Master call files can be converted for WriteLog, WF1B
or CT and I'm sure some of the others.

Lee, I use the WT4I contest tools, and I find them to be quite useful for
finding anomolies in Cabrillo files. For example, you can quickly and easily
find RST errors, Zone errors, Band errors, etc. There is a feature for using
master.dta, but I have never really every figured out how to use this,
however.
For me WT4I tools was worth the money.

I went out and traded my TS-570 for a TS-850. I feel as though I have left the
computer age for the stone age. So here are some questions.
1. only have one antenna post I have two antennas comming in there is only one
but I see this recieve antenna mod. Is that just for recieve or can you
transmit on it?
2. To have this hook into computer for like dxbase and have the vfo band and
mode switched auto matically then what can I use. there is no rs232 port so how
do you go about hooking it up then is there a box to buy or what?
3. keying with a contest program what can I use to do this with I have rig
blaster will that do the trick?
any other useful hints will be usefull thanks much.

First of all, you have acquired a great contest radio!

The receive mod is for a receive only antenna. You only have 1 SO239
available for
your transmit antenna.

Kenwood made an interface called the IF232C, but I recommend you build your
own.
See http://www.qth.com/ka9fox/ts850_mods.txt for some good mods, including
the
computer interface.

Check out the W1WEF parallel port interface. It works great and works with
all the
popular contest logging programs, or you can build your own.

Go to Google and do a search on "TS850 mods", then enjoy the reading.
Good luck and enjoy the rig.

Sean, although you may feel like you stepped
backwards, you actually took a big step forward
in comparing a 570 to an 850 as a contest rig.
I've had both. To connect to a pc for rig control,
there are several choices you can make. You
can build your own, or guys like W1GEE sells
them for about 40 bucks. Just do a search on
W1GEE and it will show his site. Same thing
goes for the cw keying. You can build a serial
interface with directions that usually come with
your logging software, or purchase interfaces
such as sold on the TRLog web site made by
W1WEF. There are 3 models that range from
$25 or so to around $50. In an actual contest,
I think you'll find the 850 is much better in
handling the QRM then the 570. For CW use,
I had 2 400 hz Inrad filters in mine, and it worked
well. On the antenna part, I've never used
seperate antennas for transmit and receive,
so I'm not much help there, but I have seen the
mod, so it can be done. Hang in there, because
you DID make the right decision.

Once you use your 850 in a contest, you'll wonder why you said what you said
here. This is especially true if you install good filters in both IF's.
The receive antenna mod allows you to connect seperate receive antennas.
N3OC's (nee WA3WJD) mod is excellent to do this. The single SO-239 is for
transmitting. Use an external antena switch.
For computer interfacing, you need a Kenwood IF-232C level convertor or
equivalent to change from the TTL levels on the radio to RS-232. Then, it's
equivalent to the 570 as far as computer control.
You can use a rig blaster with the 850 just like you would with the 570. You
may want to consider using a simple LPT port or serial port interface for
sending CW. They can be built for a few dollars, or you can buy them from many
sources - W1WEF makes an excellent one.
The 850 has less bells and whistles than the 570, but can out-perform it
easily. Invest in some good filters for it. If you close your eyes and
listen, you won't be able to tell you're not using one of the latest
multi-kilobuck radios.

Does anyone but me find it annoying that we have to purchase
software that should be furnished free by the ARRL? The League
foisted the Cabrillo requirements on us without much input from
the membership. IMO, the League should buy the tools from WT4I
at some reasonable price and distribute them free to anyone who
wants them. If the WT4I tools are not for sale, the League
should develop their own.
Am I missing the bigger picture here? Comments welcome.

Message-ID: <721D3436A7C2B344A301FD4A413C71A92993CC@kosh.ARRLHQ.ORG>
After many years of service, were are retiring our old style landscape-format
(horizontal) certificates and replacing them with sleek, sharp portrait-style
(vertical) designs. The changeover has meant delivery delays, however.
To those awaiting certificates for several ARRL-sponsored operating events,
please stand by. The basic artwork has been approved, and the Graphics
Department is hard at work tweaking the final design and layout for the
certificates.
We anticipate having the new certificates on hand, ready for labeling and
mailing by the Contest Branch by mid-October. The new-style certificates will
be used for all ARRL-sponsored HF and international events starting with the
certificates for the 2001 ARRL 160 Meter Contest. New VHF/UHF certificates will
debut with the 2002 June VHF QSO party. New ARRL November Sweepstakes
certificates will be issued for the first time for the 2002 events.
In addition to the new certificates, we are also replacing the old-style ARRL
June VHF QSO Party plaque with a more modern design. The artwork was selected
from dozens of photos submitted by members and will feature a spectacular
mountain sunrise from a rover's perspective. The new June plaques also are
expected to be available by mid-fall.
Thanks for your patience. If you have questions, please contact me at
n1nd@arrl.org or at 860-594-0232.

I think that log checking is a huge volunteer effort. Common standard
format log files help the volunteers. This is the reason for the
Cabrillo file requirement. Should ARRL, in other words its members,
pay for this or should the contesters bear some cost in making the log
checking easy? On the surface, it seems to me that the contesters
should bear the burden of making the volunteers' job easier.
The one argument that can be made against such a requirement, is that
it makes it harder for a casual contester to participate *and* send in
the logs. This is somewhat ameliorated by the fact that most
electronic log programs generate some form of Cabrillo logs, and ARRL
does not require Cabrillo format submission for contesters who log on

Here are my comments:
WT4I Tools software is not required in in order to create a Cabrillo
compliant log. That is the responsibility of the contest participant, and
most if not all of us, depend on our logging software - TR, WL, CT, etc. - to
generate the Cabrillo format correctly. WT4I Tools is an optional aide to be
used in ensuring, but only to a degree, that contact information is logged
correctly.
The contest sponsors, in this case the ARRL, has established - with the help
of very accomplished contesters - a standard format in which logs should be
submitted. That is Cabrillo. The benefit, of course, in having such a
standardized format is in the efficiency gained by automating the processing
of hundreds or thousands of logs.
You are questioning why the ARRL does not provide free of charge to the
contest community the WT4I Tools software. Your argument seems to be that
the League has adopted the Cabrillo standard and, therefore, should provide
software to edit the content of a Cabrillo file. Following that logic, you
could also argue that the League should provide free of charge the contest
logging software - TR, WL, CT, etc.- that generates the Cabrillo files.
Carrying the thread further - why not have the League provide free of charge
the equipment required to operate the contests to provide the contacts to
capture in the software to generate logs in the standardized format? (...she
swallowed a fly...). I think that you can begin to see the ridiculousness of
this logic.
Here is the Bottom Line in my way of thinking: The contest sponsor has the
responsibility of setting the rules (and standards) of the contest,
advertising the contest, evaluating and publicizing the results and awarding
the prizes. Everything else - including all costs of participation and
compliance with the rules - are are the responsibility of the contestants.
IMHO.

Checkout N6TR's website at http://n6tr.jzap.com/850repair.html .
It has alot of useful info on mods/repairs etc... Gee if guys like
N6TR, K6LL, etc.. are using TS-850 's that can't be all that bad.
Also, MFJ makes a computer interface cable (MFJ-5383) that's alot
cheaper then the Kenwood RS-232 interface box. I think it costs around
$20. I have had an 850 for years - with both the 1st/2nd IF CW filters
and it has worked great !!! I have only used a 570 one time (at W4AN's)
for CQ WPX CW so don't have much experience with it. Have fun....

In a word, yes.
Did you find it annoying that back in The Old Days[tm] the ARRL
required you to use offical ARRL contest summary sheets and log sheets
and to submit an Op Aid 6 dupe sheet with your log?
Did you find it annoying that you had to send an SASE to Newington to
request copies of these official forms?
Did you find it annoying that the ARRL didn't provide postage-paid
envelopes for you to submit your contest logs?
Did you find it annoying that the ARRL didn't provide you with a
voucher to use at Kinko's to make copies of your logs?
Did you find it annoying that the post office charged you extra money
if you wanted to send your log via certified mail with return receipt
requested?
Now ask yourself all those same questions and substitute CQ for ARRL.
Now consider a budget for paper log submission, rounding off to whole
dollars to make things easy:
$1 SASE snail mailed to Newington to request forms
$1 Kinko's charge before the contest for copying one blank
summary sheet, the blank Op Aid 6 (two sides), and 10 blank
log sheets
$1 Kinko's charge after the contest for copying one prepared
summary sheet, the used Op Aid 6 (two sides), and 10 used
log sheets
$1 Log packet snail mailed to Newington
$4 Certified mail with return receipt (optional)
$??? Cost of your personal time, wear and tear on your car, etc
So using paper logs it's gonna cost you about $3-4 out of pocket every
time you get on and operate a contest and work 500 guys, unless you
splurge and send it certified USPS. Or you can send it in a FedEx
overnight letter for $10.
You can buy WT4I's Cabrillo Converter for $20, or you can download and
use KA5WSS's LogConv program for FREE.
I didn't include in the budget the cost of radios, amplifiers,
feedlines, antennas, headphones, power strips, ground rods, a desk for
your shack, a chair, a lamp, electricity, logging software, nor the
ISP charges you would spend submitting your log (or writing messages
to cq-contest!) because you have already paid for these things whether
or not your submit a log. You break even on a $20 Cabrillo converter
after about six contests. LogConv is a spectacular deal for the
price.
There is nothing new under the sun. The bottom line is that for
30/40/50? years there have been established procedures for submitting
contest logs. Today in 2002 there are still established procedures
for submitting contest logs -- only the details have changed.
A few years ago I predicted that "10 years from now people will look
back and laugh at all moaning that took place as contest log submittal
procedures were revised to include electronic logs."
Today I have a new prediction: "We will not have to wait 10 years."

I can only echo most comments sent so far plus:
though we use FT-1000D, FT1000MPs here, we always use a TS-850 in one of the
operating spots.
The 850 is an excellent contest rig and much more simple to operate when you
don't need all the bells and whistles the other rigs have.

The burning question in my mind is, since we
know you have a computer, I'm assuming you
are using a pc to log with. What program are
you using that doesn't create a Cabrillo file for
you? I've used CT. It does. I now use TRLog,
it does. WriteLog I'm fairly certain does. Are
you using computer logging Bill?

Bill,
N5KO developed Cabrillo at the request of the ARRL with the input from just
about every major developer of contest software. These people are the ones
who have the experience with to contribute to the specification.
I'm amazed the anyone would gripe about the cost or availability of
programs to submit Cabrillo logs. All of the major programs support it
now, with upgrades available for free or nominal cost. If you really
insist on using a ten year old version of your logging program, tools such
as the KA5WSS (available free, I think) or WT4I tools don't cost all that much.
The ARRL really needed to embrace electronic log submittal in order to get
their contest operations under control with regards to support costs and
turnaround. The alternatives would be higher dues or fewer contests. I'm
sure the ARRL directors would not support the former, and I for one would
regret the latter.

Yeah, but there are lots more contests out there than the CQ and
ARRL ones. TRLog doesn't help much in a RTTY contest.

Yeah, but there are lots more contests out there than the CQ and
ARRL ones. TRLog doesn't help much in a RTTY contest.
Tom W7WHY
I suppose maybe not in all cases but...

I would imagine WriteLog can handle about
any RTTY contest you could throw at it.

Pardon if this seems like too simple a question, but are there sources of
information as to how log checking is actually accomplished?
The Cabrillo thread actually prompted my thought.
Based on submitting in that format, is there a "magical" way to merge every
log and then determine who has contacted who, and which are and are not
valid? In other words, have the machines check logs, instead of humans (the
old fashioned way)?

So Does NA and CT There is also a took (software ) to convert old
versions of CT logs into .adi ADIF format for input into most logging
programs. I use LOGGER Because its free and does all I need.

Dear contesters,
The Romanian Amateur Radio Federation (FRR) has the honour to invite the
radio amateurs all over the world to participate in the International
Short Wave Championship of Romania (YO DX HF Contest) which is held on
the last weekend of August every year. The objective of the contest is
to establish as many contacts as possible between radio amateurs around
the world and radio amateurs in Romania. Any SSB or CW is allowed, but
YO counties count as multipliers in addidion to the DXCC entities.
Pay attention! The rules have been changed. The most significant
difference is data sent by NON-YO hams (serial #) and contest multiplier
(no ITU zones, but DXCC entities plus YO counties).
The rules can be read here:
http://www.qsl.net/yo3kaa/contests/yodx_eng.htm
RCKLog (by DL4RCK) is ready for the YO DX HF Contest for YO and NON-YO
stations. It can be downloaded from DL4RCK homepage
http://www.rcklog.de.
Another electronic log could be DL5MHR YO Contesting packagage:

The MFJ interface was almost $40, not $20. However, the point is moot -

For what its worth.
We took 2 rigs on a contest-pedition 2 years ago, an 850 and a 570.
The bad news was the 850 went QRT. The worse news was we had to use the 570.
It sucked.
The next year I went on another contest-pedition with the same 850 and a
TS120 backup. The 850 stayed alive and boy was it great.

I've previously dealt quite successfully with W8ZD, but
there were problems with my last order.

Cabrillo allows, in simple terms, two major things (at least in the ARRL
case).
1) Logs can be checked for format as they are submitted by an email
robot and if accepted put into CM (configuration management, version
control).
2) A common format for the log checkers and sponsors to work with.
An effective item 1, really helps item 2.
There is no "magic" involved in log checking. One may think that the
machines are doing the checking but the reality is (the same as it is
with any computer product) that the machine is only as good as the
person(s) who programmed it (and created the requirements for the
programming). The computer just runs programs. People create the
programs and requirements. The computer just does the boring part more
effectively/efficiently/consistently than a human.
There are various methods used by each sponsor and even each contest to
check logs. K8CC and I have been checking the ARRL 10m/160m logs for
several years now. I can tell you that cabrillo has been a HUGE benefit
to the process (along with the robot to accept logs). We used to spend
weeks getting logs into a format that was useable by us... now it takes
just hours. There are still some that slip through the cracks and need
repair but each year gets better and better as contesters are more aware
of what they are submitting and the robot gets better at catching errors
in format before accepting the logs.
Cabrillo is just a specification of a format. It is not cabrillo so
much that is making things easier as it is having a specification and
being able to enforce it. I'm glad to see the ARRL and other sponsors
backing a standard, which happens to be cabrillo.
I think if you want an explanation on "how" logs are checked (in any
detail), it would be more appropriate for you to ask the contest
sponsors.

My twopence or is it 2 cents worth. The 570 is a nice rig. I've used it on
several DXpeditions with great success BUT I agree that it doesn't quite
come up to snuff as a serious contest rig. Why? Well for my money, it's
because the filtering isn't good enough. In the 570 the DSP is at audio
frequency rather than at I/F as in the 870 and you can only add xtal
filtering in the 8 MHz I/F which means the shape factor isn't too
impressive. With the low cost ceramic filtering it uses nearer the front
end it may be prone to overload, though in practice I haven't noticed a
problem there.
That aside the 570 is a good radio for most uses and it has some nice
features.

Main problem is AGC pumping and selectivity.
In a contest, you're always going to have QRM.
The ability to copy a signal thru the QRM in an
850 is much better, at least in my experiences,
then the 570.

Lots of people yakking about the 570 not being up to snuff as a contest rig.
Oddly, no details are being presented. Anyone care to detail?

MFJ might not make the computer interface cable anymore but you can
still buy them. If you check the HRO online catalog they sell the the
MFJ 5383K (The "K" is for Kenwood) interface cable for $49.95. They
also list it as being in stock.

Dennis et al,
My 2 cents worth on the 570:
I have used a 570DG as a second rig for several years. It has some great
features: easy to use, light weight, dsp, etc. It major shortcoming as a
contest radio is that the agc passband is much wider than the digital filter
passband, so that you can have a weak signal wiped out by adjacent strong
signals that you don't actually hear, but that are pumping the agc to
desensitize the receiver. This is more of a problem on cw than on phone,
and is true even if you add the optional 500 Hz cw filter to the radio. The
agc is not defeatable (although there is a web site by a Kenwood engineer
describing some hardware mods to do that).
I once tried running sprint cw just using the 570, and vowed never again.

Message-ID: <200208291521.g7TFLsE19034@loja.kkn.net>
I have never used a TS570 - but my biggest complaint is that the early
rigs had some really bad issues with sending CW and having the network
going at the same time. It seemed that any network activity (over the
radio interface) messed up the CW. I think Kenwood fixed this problem -
but I really don't know. They never did any kind of communication about
it (that I heard of) and that really makes me uncomfortable.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] DX CW Results
Message-ID: <20020829155822.GB19188@kkn.net>
Dear Contesters,
As has already been reported - the ARRL DX CW Results have been pulled from
the web site - just one day after being posted. This is due to a process
problem that was discovered when some of you saw the results. In short,
none of the duplicate QSOs in the logs were removed - and counted as good
QSOs.
Obviously, this could have an impact to the final standings, so we are
going to fix the problem, recompute the scores and repost the corrected
results as soon as possible (probably later next week).
We apologize for the delay.
The CW results in QST have already been printed. However, the .PDF version
of QST on the web will be corrected at a later date. The SSB results will
be fixed before they are published.
This programming error was a result of adding new functionality to the log
checking program to better detect infractions of the band change rule for
multi-one and multi-two entrants. In the future, we will put a process into
place to do a reality check on the numbers before the results are published.
This should detect this kind of problem in the future.

Well, the cheapest and most effective method I've ever found is to
make them yourself.
Cut about a 6" length of the 1/2" hard line, and visit your local
hardware store. Also,
take along a barrel connector.
You will find they have brass compression fittings which will allow
the fitting to be
securely mounted to the hard line, along with a "step up" on the other
end which is almost a perfect match for the barrel.
Just place the compression ring on the hard line, ( be sure you put
the compressor fitting on first ), then bare the center wire so it
will be about .75" into the brass fitting. You can now either file off
the threads on the barrel connector, (or drill out the brass fitting
with a 1/2" drill down to the point where the inner housing begins to
expand ) and you will find perfect fit. A little no-alox on the
center wire, and fit the barrel down into the unit. You can now make a
very neat solder around the barrel fitting. A little more no-alox on
the aluminum shield, especially under the position where the
compression ring will come to rest, and tighten it down.
Helps if you have a dremal tool with a circular carbide blade to cut
through the aluminum to expose the center conductor, then slit the
aluminum from the cut to the coax end. Remove the outer shield and
then slice away the insulation back about .75" from the end. Gasoline
works great on a rag to remove that sticky stuff.
It has literally taken longer to write this than to make the actual
fitting.
As to performance, I tested several connectors up to about 200 mHz for
loss and found it was practically non existent. When I first started
using this method, I made up 2 short connects, put coax seal and tape
on one, and hung them with the coax end up on a fence for a little
more than a year. Then, took them apart, and honestly could not find
any difference in the appearance of the 2.
Short and sweet, Ace is the place for the ....

am attaching below, the new logcfg.dat as per new contest rules (two main
changes: non-YO will transmit serial # and the multiplier is given by the sum
of DXCC entities + YO counties).
Note: there is still a weak point: QSO within own country should be zero points
(credited for multiplier only), but the program gives 2 points/QSO. I suggest
manual editing, since I don?t expect that anyone would be too interested in
QSO?s with his own country.
Good luck and see you in the contest!
Alex, A45WD ? YO9HP

DISPLAY MODE = COLOR

Subject: [CQ-Contest] DXSpot Filters
Message-ID: <1030646196016752@lycos.it>
Hello All
This is IK4VYX (Fabrizio)
I'm here to announce a new feature of my DXTelnet software package.
If you've never heard about it, DXTelnet can monitor dx spots from a variety of
sources,
simultaneously: Packet radio, Telnet (more than 50 nodes listed), IRC (the CQDX
node),
Web (the popular dxsummit web-cluster).
One of the nice things is that you can set your own, customized, spot filters.
Filters are accessible from the "Configuration" > "Filters" top menu.
One of the filters is called "Select spots by word".
If you set this filter, say, to:
AF,AN,AS,EU,NA,OC,SA,IOTA,ISL,ISL.,ISLAND
DXTelnet will select only Iota spots.
This could be useful for Iota contest purposes or for specific Iota needs.
Of course this filter can be customized for any specific contesting/DX need.
In addition, DXTelnet can feed almost any existing log/contesting software with
the
(filtered) spots it receives.
Please check
http://www.geocities.com/onlydx/article_e.htm
to find out how to link your log/contesting software to DXTelnet.
DXTelnet latest version (5.1) can be downloaded from:
http://www.qsl.net/wd4ngb/telnet.htm
Thanks for your attention.
Best (((73))) de Fabrizio (IK4VYX)

I have a TS-57SDG - The problem Tree mentions is not apparent in this
particular radio.
Trying to use it in a contest is a challenge, at best. Strong stations do not
need to be too close to cause the AGC to pump, and you can't turn it off.
I had mine in the pick-up for quite a while and it was a fb mobile rig,
although it is a bit large. I replaced it with a new IC-706 a few months ago,
and WAY prefer the 570.
The 706's digital remnants are extremely distracting on cw, but it isn't a
bad SSB rig, and it's SMALL. Another not cool contesting radio.
If you're into ham radio in general the TS-570 is a nice radio. If contesting
is your game best check out something else. Of course if your not into
contesting you're probably not reading this reflector.

Message-ID: <022e01c24f9a$2f2f92c0$cad3403e@field>
The number of entries for this year's IOTA Contest is already an all-time
high, but there is still time to send in your log if you have not already
done so. The official deadline is 1st September. e-mail logs go to
iota.logs@rsgbhfcc.org or to hf.contests@rsgb.org.uk These are the only
addresses that work, although I am aware that some other e-mail addresses
have been published in various sources. All entrants should have received an
acknowledgement, automatic from the iota.logs address or manual from the
hf.contests address. If you have not received an acknowledgement, then
please try again.
About a week after the deadline we will put a list of claimed scores, with
category on the RSGB HF Contests Committee Web page (www.rsgbhfcc.org) and
would encourage entrants to check that we have all your details correct. We
will also be putting Soapbox comments and some photographs on the Web at the
same time.

Thanks Alex
Just what I was looking for. A little slicker than my version. Just one
caveat. Stations within your own country come up with 2 points rather than
zero. That appears to be the only editing needed to make it play 100%.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Opinions wanted on FT-920
Message-ID: <00d401c24fc7$8de693e0$a900a8c0@fanningat>
Does anybody have opinions on the performance of the FT-920 as a
contesting/DXing rig? It looks like a lot of bang for the buck, but I have not
had the opportunity to use one in person yet. What kind of experience does the
contesting community have with the 920? I am particularly interested in
hearing how the radio performs on CW with QSK enabled. How does the receiver
stack up? Can you live with only having one IF to put (INRAD) filters in? How
good is the voice quality of the voice keyer? Is the audio DSP useful?
Opinions good and bad are equally welcome.

Dennis Younker NE6I brings up a valid question.
> Lots of people yakking about the 570 not being up to snuff as a contest rig.
> Oddly, no details are being presented. Anyone care to detail?
Two years ago, almost to this week, my house (not the antennas) were struck
my lightning and it took out an IC751A and TS870. I purchased another TS870
and borrowed a 570 so I could run my normal SO2R RTTY thing for CQWW RTTY.
The '570 has a couple of problems when it comes to contesting. First off, it
has a 250 hz filter in the FSK position, but I'm not sure where this filter
could
be because if someone parks next to you with a strong signal, the AGC goes
way up and you can't copy squat. So the narrow filtering is probably not in
the IF section. This is the 570's biggest problem when contesting.
The next big problem for RTTY is that the radio does not give a RTTY
sidetone when used in the FSK position. But that had nothing to do with W2UP
whooping my butt that year.
It's great for a "holiday" rig, but not a good contesting radio.
You probably couldn't give me one because I have an FT757GX/II in the closet
that probably works better and is 10 years older.
FWIW... opinions are like ... well you know.

Thanks Fab,
I've been using DXTelnet several years with WriteLog. For RTTY contesting,
all you have to do is put into the filter the word "RTTY" and only RTTY spots
will be sent to WriteLog during the contests. It's nothing short of great.
For information on how to run DXTelnet over a LAN with WriteLog, check
out www.geocities.com/writelog/. For those contests that allow packetcluster
spots, DXTelnet is the BEST!

Seems like the "survery says" the 850 definitely outshines the 570 at least
as far as CW contesting goes.
Could I humor those of you who have used both to compare the TS-850 vs. the
IC-765?
I'm starting to take an interest in "new" rigs. : )
Which would you rather have?

Quack approach
Very similar to above, I take the piece of 1/2 hard line to the same
hardware and buy a nipple that fits over the 1/2 line on one end and fits
the base of a SO239 on the other end.
Slot the end of the nipple that will go over the 1/2 in line and move it
back about 2 inches. Expose about 1/8" of the center conductor of the
hdline. Solder it to the center of the SO 239. To make the connector look
a bit better I have ground down the portion of the SO 239 that has the
mounting holes. Put some no-lox on the
aluminum and Slide the Nipple fwd to contact the base of the SO 239 and
solder at the sholder on the connector then put a worm clamp around at the
Slit that was cut in the nipple.
I have covered the whole thing with RTV and applied tape while the RTV is
still stickey. I use this connector on almost all of my antenna's and SO
FAR No problem.

Thanks for your comments, Don.
You got the exact the meaning of my message: that filter can be tailored
for different needs.
RTTY is one, not to say about SSTV, QSP, PSK, FSK and many others.
During a contest, this filter makes multiplier detection easier.
About WriteLog I am going to post a specific article on the
WriteLog's reflector which describes a new link way
between writeLog and DXTelnet.
That is discussed in
http://www.geocities.com/onlydx/article_e.htm
It uses WriteLog TCP/IP connectivity, instead of the dedicated
dxt2wl application.
Same method applies, say, to CTWIN.
Bye for now.

Many contesters and DXers have recommended the TS-850 to me as one of the
best deals in its price range, so I bought one a couple months ago. I've
been more than happy with it so far. The receiver is outstanding.
To me, any radio that has no tubes in it is not "stone age". :-) I grew
up contesting with S-lines, Heathkits, Drake R4B/T4XB, etc. With those,
even if you didn't get the "warm glow of victory", you at least had the
warm glow of the rigs!

_________________________________________________________
IMO, the TS-870 has an even better receiver. On my '850, a very
strong station (40 over 9) very close in frequency could be heard
weakly - leakage around the filter. On my '870 there is no
leakage at all.
The only thing the '870 needs to make it perfect is the ability
to choose 50 Hz bandpass on SSB. Then PSK31 could truly come
into its own as a DX mode.
Sigh.

Message-ID: <000b01c2508e$a00ed560$0100a8c0@joe>
All this talk of the TS 570 vs. TS 850 (not even a contest in my book, in
favour of the 850) raises a wider question: are ANY of Kenwood's current
production radios competition grade?
At the risk of inflaming die-hard Kenwood fans, my guess is no. The 870 got
bad reviews on its IF DSP (basically high cut in one IF and low cut in
another IF) that lets signals into the AGC loop even if the second IF
filtering eliminates them. (Similar beef as with the 570.) The last I read
(please, correct me if I'm wrong), you could not install analog filters, or
if you could, you could only install one. Choose wisely, I guess.
The TS 2000 is very neat, but does it count as competition grade? Maybe if
you're into satellite, but I have to think all that frequency agility must
have a price somewhere.
And we know where the contest community stands on the 570.
The 950 is a very nice radio, but it's not made anymore.
Don't get me wrong. I love my 850. But did Kenwood start turning its back on
contesters after the 850? Or was it after the 940?

Quack note on TS 870
I have used the TS 870 for several years and the only problem I have is
when band is loaded with strong signals , HOWEVER that said. Thats why
Rx's have a control call RF Gain. By reducing RF gain I can copy weak
signals that might be covered by ajacent strong signals. Reports on TX
audio are excellent and I like the ability to control the Pass band of both
TX and RX audio. My only complaint on CW filtering is there is a
MAX band width of 1000 Hz. ( under slow cndx it can be desirable to have
this wider.)

_________________________________________________________
It's possible this might be a problem on SSB or CW using the
'870, but I use mine mostly on RTTY and I've never noticed an AGC
problem with it.
I suspect from comments I've heard over the years the '870 might
not be the best choice for SSB/CW contesting, but for RTTY I
can't imagine anything better. If there is, I'd like to try one
out. :-)

Kelly,
I think that the 940 was the last truly competitive radio from
Kenwood.
I don't know what happened, but the folks at Kenwood have not
been keeping up. There has to have been some sort of decision
made to not go after that market. I don't understand it. They also
have rigs available in Japan that are not sold here. The solid
state TL-933 amplifier is an example.
Why they have decided to bow out is a mystery to me. I have
a TS-940S/AT vintage 1987. I have been looking for a replacement
and the Icom 756 ProII is a front runner. It would be nice if Kenwood
had anything that could compare.
My opinion only, YMMV!

Quack's
I use a TS870 and on cw I recieve on Lower side most of the time. Many,
Many stations call on the low side ?? as much as 2 khz low, and this is not
just in contest?? On SSB they seem to do the same when I'm on USB. I think
that it is because most tune from the bottom up and when they have good copy
they stop before getting on the TX freq? I find that I set RIT down about
300 hz and have much better tone for my old ears. On SSB there is no cure.
Many do call off freq but most of the time there is no need to retune to
copy them.

Recent communications with other W4 team organizers indicate that more
than SIXTY (yes 60) W4 stations will take part in Saturday's NAQP and be
part of a team effort.
The Florida Contest Group has approximately 20 entrants including (to my
suprise) Dan "I hate NAQP" Street, K1TO.
Last word I had from TCG was that they had at least two teams.
K4FXN tells me that the Kentucky group is trying to organize two teams as
well.
We've managed to organize nearly 30 from the SECC, PVRC, and others. We
will be known as the Southern States Sprint Coalition (hoping to to inject
the expectation that this is just a warm-up for the real contest in early
September).
Condolence letters can be addressed to Paul, K9PG, and paul@k9pg.com for
our showing up those W9s with regards to participation. This tradition
will be extended through early September.

Worse than it being a non-priority, one could easily
imagine a regime that actively discourages long
distance (HF) communications. Also, some government
types in some places require some sort of "small"
payment (bribe) in order to get them to do their jobs
in individual cases. This is considered normal in
those places and astonishing to the rest of us.
I wonder if some "payola" would grease the wheels?

Speculation about ulterior motives and/or corruption on the part of foreign
licensing authorities does nothing to encourage a tidal wave of new
hams. A lot of quiet progress has been made in recent years in a number of
countries that formerly looked askance at ham radio. Let's let this thread
drop.

Hi, Dan.
Here's my message for posting to the CQ contest reflector.
Thanks much for taking the trouble to do this.
I'll keep you informed on what I find out.
Best 73 from Tom Behler: KB8TYJ: Big Rapids, MI
"I am a blind ham, and my call is KB8TYJ. I probably could best be
described as a casual contester, but am now interested enough in contesting
to start pursuing available user-friendly contest logging software for the
blind.
Are there any contest logging programs that have been successfully used by
blind hams with the JAWS for Windows screen reading software? I currently
use JAWS 3.7 with windows 98 Second edition. I am not a computer wizzard,
but if someone can send me a demo of some software to try, with some
easy-to-follow
installation and configuration instructions, I'd be willing to give it a
shot.
Any help would be most appreciated. Please direct any responses to my

Subject: [CQ-Contest] New DTA databases, your help needed
Message-ID: <3D49DB3C.572A0547@buckeye-express.com>
Hello
Last year K8CC and I (K9TM) took over the generation of the callsign
databases used by most of the popular contest logging packages (you may
know the file as master.dta or the feature as super-check partial). Due
to transition items, translation problems on my end, the databases
barely made it out in time for CQ WW last year. However, all reports
have been favorable on the accuracy of the database. This year I have
all the tools ready and can turn the crank pretty quickly.
The goal this year is to get them out by Oct 1. The major factor this
year is in receiving logs as I have already created the tools.
Regardless of deadlines, we need your help. All you have to do is get
together your logs and send them to us (see info at the bottom of this
note for details). Since people interested in the databases are using a
computer and since most of you submit your logs in cabrillo format
anyway... we are only accepting cabrillo logs. (In the past the tools to
generate the databases were based on CT BIN files and as a result, input
was by CT BIN files. Last year I created new tools to work from
cabrillo files.)
The more logs we get, the more calls we can extract and the better the
final result. So all you Multi-Multi's out there (we know you use
super-check partial :-) ) and anyone who wants to help (especially those
who use the database) please submit your logs.
We promise that your log(s) will not be shared with anyone. We will not
use your log for any purpose other than to extract callsigns for the
database project.
Updated databases are available @ http://www.datomonline.com.
To help out please do the following:
1) Name your files using your call. Something like K9TM1.LOG,
K9TM2.LOG.
Please do not name your files like 01SSCW.LOG! You only have to rename
a couple of files... I potentially have to do thousands (ok wishful
thinking, probably only hundreds).
2) Send the files as attachments to the email.
3) Please do not zip or otherwise compress the files.
4) It would also help if you could please make your subject line "[DTA]
your_callsign", for example Subject: [DTA] K9TM. Just like subject
lines from reflectors. This will allow me to sort the responses from my
normal mail.
5) Send the logs to: k9tm@buckeye-express.com.
If you would like to send your logs throughout the year rather than this
batch method, that is OK with me. If enough people do this, I wouldn't
have any problem making updates available more often.
If there are any questions regarding the databases, please direct them
to me (K9TM). We look forward to receiving many logs and putting
together the updated databases.
Thanks & 73s,
The master.dta team

Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.2.20020802023553.01aea290@pop.dc2.adelphia.net>
Kudos to K9TM and K8CC for taking on the task of generating master databases.
It's a tricky thing to get accuracy. Unfortunately, the starting point
(people's logs) can bring with it a lot of chaff. For example, I've been
told that the CQWW SSB log-checking database shows about 97,000 calls, of
which only ~30,000 are good calls. In other words, 2/3 of the call-signs
that could be gleaned if you had access to everyone's logs over a number of
years would be bad!
I'm sure that the logs submitted to K9TM and K8CC will be a lot cleaner
than that, and techniques will be applied to screen the unique/probably bad
calls out of that input. But even then, a lot of the common busts -- H for
S on CW, for example -- will undoubtedly sneak through.
Ironically, I find that rather helpful. Whenever I'm tempted to rely too
heavily on the database, I need only look at the screen when I'm part-way
through entering a call and see what look like two or three variations on a
single call. Or are they different calls? Better just copy the station
and be sure!

The logs have started rolling in... thanks!
...and so have the questions. I have responded to everyone privately
(thus far) but would like to put a sort of FAQ list out here. So here
goes...
Q) Do you only want CQWW logs?
A) NO. We want all types of logs. WW is just one contest.
Any contest is fine.
Q) Why only cabrillo
A) Well since most all contest sponsors require cabrillo (or strongly
want) and
it has been around long enough now that software writers have had
time to
make it part of the package or write a post conversion program...
it really
helps tasks like this (and log checking).
Q) Since you do log checking for the ARRL you already have my 160 or 10
log, just use it.
A) While it is true that Dave and I do log checking for the ARRL, we
can NOT use the
logs submitted to the ARRL. Why? Because the ARRL does not want
them used for
anything other than log checking. That is their decision and Dave
and I abide by it.
Please send your logs again as described in the earlier post for
inclusion into
the database.
Q) How do you get rid of bad calls?
A) There are several techniques used. While we try our best through
software and
human inspection... things still happen. Garbage-in, Garbage-out
still sort-of
applies. We hope to filter through things and come up with a
quality database.
We were pretty successful last year and AD1C did it for years
before us.
BTW, I added a step to take out known bad calls that may have made
it through.
If you have specific bad calls in mind or have found some in prior
databases,
please send me a note with those calls and I will add them to the
list.
Note that you don't have to send OE5OSO (really OE5OHO), that call
inspired
this method.
Q) My logs are small, are they still useful?
A) Yes, all logs are useful. You don't have to be multi-multi,
multi-single or
multi-anything. All logs help.
Q) Do I need to mark the logs differently by contest (dx -vs- domestic,
etc)?
A) Nope, the tools do all the work for me (well most of it).
If other classes of questions come in, I will update this list.

We've discussed here the reminding of past contest participants about an
upcoming event, either by mail or email. That's really preaching to the
choir, so let's take it a step farther ....
An old sales rule of thumb says it's six times easier to sell an
existing
customer than to recruit a new customer. To entice new blood into our
sub-hobby, why don't we ...
Choose a local contest -- in USA, for example, perhaps the FQP or CQP --
so that rates will be reasonable AND callsigns will be familiar. Look up,
on www.qrz.com, everyone in your ZIP code (I'm not sure how our non-USA
friends would do this). Then, ten days or so before the contest, do one of
the following ... or both, if you like:
(1) Send each ham a postcard inviting him/her to operate or observe the
contest. Make it Open House-style ... between the hours of xx and yy ...
and be sure to include food.
(2) Also ten days or so ahead, after identifying each ham in your ZIP
code, send him/her an email (a click on the callsign in the ZIP code search
in qrz.com takes you to a page that MAY have an email address). In the
email, extend the above invitation AND attach a minute or so audio clip
from your station in a high-rate SSB contest.

changed the name to include Labrador. All of us who are native Nfld'ers have
always known that VO2 was part of the province so the change is a bit ridiulous.
VO2 is in CQ Zone 2 and VO1 as on zone 5 ...so VO2 is special in that sense.
Anyway maybe Tree can advise as to why VO1 and VO2 are in the mult list when the
rules say that Nfld. counts as Labrador.
Anyway

Dick N6AA and I are very much appreciative of all the real-time cheering we
received during the WRTC. Especially, from the Senior Set, who I guess we
were somehow representing. Sorry we didn't race to the finish, first, and
hope we didn't let anyone down, other than ourselves. Age was not our
excuse; feeble-mindedness may have been.
What did someone call us? "Old and Treacherous", I think I heard.
OK, fair enough.
In recent months, I've been thinking that this being my FIFTH solar maxima,
of serious contesting that is, it may very well be my last! How depressing
is that?
So, quitting not exactly being in my internal workings, I have decided to go
public with:
SECRETS OF CONTESTING NO.5:
Many in this country, at least, probably read last week of the Yale
University research findings that if you THINK YOUNG, you will extend your
life (on the average) ANOTHER SEVEN AND ONE-HALF YEARS. And further, that
this singular "habit" is more important to your health than factors such as
blood pressure and cholesterol.
Can you imagine this?
Thusly, I hereby announce that I have extended my personal goal of SERIOUS
contest expeditions until I am Age 100. That's another 37 years, or ANOTHER
3 SOLAR MAXIMA! Wow. And then when I reach 100, I'll decide if I'll go
another 5 years, or not. And another 5, and so on. I hope you all will be
around to celebrate this with me.
Some are probably saying, "How silly is this? Neiger has definitely and
finally gone over the edge"!
My challenge to ALL of you: please sign up to this plan of (1)thinking
young, and (2) dumping pathetic excuses of WHY YOU CANNOT hit the contest
DXpedition trail this fall, or putting in MAJOR efforts from home this and
every year.
What if Yale is right? You, at least may benefit the most. And the rest
will derive great benefit from your activity, and many more multipliers!
And having our radio friends with us for so many more years, we all win.
And what has been on many of our minds, the bad notions that ham radio, and
contests are dying (at least in the USA), and have a limited future, are, as
they say " a little pre-mature".
Maybe we can't attract many youngsters into the hobby. But we certainly
have the potential to EXTEND our useful contesting lifetimes.
And I may not make the Top Ten every year, but at least if won't be for want
of a serious effort.
Please join me in this quest. And thank you for reading this far.

I certainly think the Yale study is right! I attended my 40th High School

people
looked! Especially the ones who never left Carlsbad, New Mexico. I've
tried
my best to destroy my body over the past 45 or so years with little success
but I think it's because I "think young" and won't participate in getting
old -
why should I? Hopefully we'll be doing a M/M from some exotic country or
planet 30 years from now - if you're there I'll be there too! My 60th
birthday
party will be held in Brazil or some South American country on November
26th - just after CQWW CW PT5A - it'll be a blast. I've celebrated my
birthday
on every continent and not sure how many countries and they were all fun!

Bill, I though think that anyone who is an MIT alumni would be able to
acknowledge that modes like PSK31 could easily be superior to CW.
On a theoretical grounds, PSK has a signal/noise advantage of about 4 dB
over OOK (on-off-keying -- eg CW) in the presence of Gaussian noise.
Granted, the signal impairment of typical HF channels isn't purely
Gaussian, but the theory is there none the less.
As a pratical matter, PSK31 has demonstrated that solid copy is possible
with signal levels that are INAUDIBLE to the human ear. Read that again.
Inaudible -- as in you cannot hear it. Since CW is typically decoded by
ear, this clearly indicates the superiority of the mode in weak signal
environments.
As for tuning PSK31 signals, it's pretty obvious to anyone who is
familiar with current PSK31 applications -- you do not tune in signals by
ear. It would be impractical to do so. Instead, you tune according to a
visual display, typically an FFT waterfall. Signals are clearly evident
on this display and easily tunable. Many applications don't require
precise tuning -- just click on the visible stream in the waterfall
display.

By that logic, e-mail doesn't mean anything, either.
To me, though, it's just a means of person-to-person communication.

It still takes considerable radio skill and communications acumen to hold
a PSK31 QSO.
Do you hold the same opinion of Baudot RTTY?

There ARE NO CW subbands on HF. There are a few narrow CW-only subbands
on VHF, but not on HF.
CW is permitted everywhere, and there are no indications it will be
prohibited.
I really get annoyed at this suggestion that any regulatory change is
couched in the framework of somehow eliminating CW subbands, when such
subbands do not exist.

Hint: the level of activity on RTTY contests isn't nearly as high as that
on CW or SSB. Bottom line is that there are many fewer stations CAPABLE
of making RTTY contacts than those that can make CW or SSB contacts.

Big Amen to that. Let's use our brains.
Anyone with brains would realise that if there were more stations active
on RTTY contests, rates and QSO totals would be higher. Much higher.

PSK31 is roughly the same speed as CW. It would be a better choice for
most run-of-the-mill communications.

Technically, you're incorrect. Human-read CW signals are limited by being
audible above the noise. Certain digital modes can greatly exceed that
capability.
N4HY and W3IWI did experiments back in the mid-80's where they did
MOONBOUNCE with weak 432 MHz signals. (They actually read the CW off the
FFT displays from their transceivers.) Once you bring signal processing
to the problem, new types of communications are possible -- ones that are
not limited by the human ear.

Bill, this is so fallacious an argument, it is almost ludicrious to
reply. Not only does one have to contend with the different bandwidth
requirements of SSB over CW, but the world-wide frequency allocations are
so varied that simplex communication, the mainstay of high-speed contest
operation, are not possible on SSB -- but are common for CW.
> In the extreme conditions on the low bands, CW rules!
Over SSB, sure. CW requires almost 100th of the bandwidth of SSB. It's
information rate is much lower.
Dr. Shannon has a well-known theory about information transmission.
Sending information and lower rates requires less bandwidth, and can
therefore be done at lower signal levels.
By that rule along, modes like PSK31, whose information rates are lower
than some CW signals, ought to be superior with weak signals.

I've seen this argument so many times, I'm somewhat sick of it.
It is a good technical point. My question is -- why is it only applied to
SSB? Wouldn't this operation also be beneficial for CW? Of course it
would. So, why not propose to use CW exclusively in the US from 1950-2000
kHz and work all DX split?

SSB has bandwidth problems on the higher bands, with the possible
exception of 10 meters.
One important effect on the higher bands is that the presence of skip
zones tends to limit co-channel interference.
Bottom line, though, CW requires only a percent or so of the bandwidth of
SSB. Therefore, the signal levels required for effective communications
are definitely lower.
>On 10 meters, with effectively

I don't think these records are any indication of the inherent properties
of the mode. On SSB, most likely it is due to the higher availability of
stations to work than the properties of the mode itself.

These modes aren't anything alike. WSJT is 441 baud, which is actually a
rather high signalling rate compared to CW. WSJT is designed for meter
scatter work, and therefore has to transfer information at a high rate.
(it also uses multi-bit FSK, to avoid some of the phase distortions
present in the meteor pings)
So, WSJT is not extremely narrow. It is wider than typical RTTY or 300
baud packet, even.
Point is, each of these modulation techniques is designed to meet certain
channel goals. WSJT works much more effectively than high-speed CW. (high
speed here meaning 100-800 wpm!)

I think Bill missed my point, probably because I could have put that more
precisely. There are no CW sub-bands, but the phone sub-bands protect CW
from phone QRM. I worry that the FCC will succumb to pressure to expand
the phone sub-bands to cover more and more spectrum now effectively set
aside for CW and digital modes. Digital devotees should realize that the
existing phone sub-bands now protect them, too.
As for metaphors, I still prefer sailing, because while CW may be
Piper-Cub-slow, it's also sailboat-like-fun.

The new digital modes are far superior to CW or SSB in being able to copy
weak signals. But they take more time to make a QSO. If you're trying to
compare rates, that is a factor. Just like a view camera is far superior
in results to a 35mm camera. But it takes at least several minutes to set
it up. It isn't "point and shoot".
So you might say that the digital modes are better than CW or SSB in
having QSO's or ragchews but aren't the best for rapid contest operation.
My favorite is still CW.

Actually, the software we used at W1AW/5 is 95% of the way to making that
sort of operation quite feasible. The stations at W1AW/5 were all
interconnected by TCP/IP over the internet, so whether they are in the same
state or not is pretty minimally important. And since the complete log
of the entire operation was always available to each of the stations in
realtime, you wouldn't need to worry about dupes or not knowing which bands
to pass calling stations to, etc.
The next big step in the software would be to integrate some very responsive
inter-station signalling that required few keystrokes to send and little
brain-power to receive. Signals like "I am now QRT - you take it over from
here," or "I can hear him well enough to complete the QSO, please standby
while I work him" and such boiled down to something that makes it fast
was the one trick we lacked at W1AW/5. Such signalling might also find itself
useful for traditional multi-multis.
With this sort of idea, if you had three stations on 80SSB, you could have
the midwest station CQing, and then whenever a caller comes along whom he
cannot hear, you could have the east coast or west coast stations jump in
on a QSO-by-QSO basis to complete the contacts while still limiting the
team to one transmitted signal per band-mode at a time.

That's a good question. Does anyone know the details of their

Tony and Jim, et all,
Sign me up! I took my first trip outside the U.S.
last CQWW CW to PJ2T at 57 (almost 58) and have my
plane tickets for this fall already. I have only been
seriously contesting for 12 years, even if licensed
for 43. I have always thought and felt young and
rowdy. I am not ready for a rocker and pablum yet, if
ever!
After my 2nd divorce, I have a new young girlfriend,
she's only 50 and looks and acts young, and we are
like teenagers. She thinks ham radio is very cool.
I am one happy contented contesting dude!
I used to say that I wanted to be shot by a jealous
husband when I'm 90, but now I say that I'm looking
forward to working you all in the contests of the
next 3 or 4 sunspot cycles, and see you from PJ2T on
this year's CQWW CW.

Under extreme contest conditions on any band, CW rules! Why
is this so? The answer is very simple...noise bandwidth. On the
low bands, noise tends to increase as you move down in frequency.
This is due to three primary reasons:
1. Local atmospheric noise (i.e. lightning storms) is propagated more
effectively on the low bands, 160 being the extreme.
2. Local manmade noise is worse on the low bands (powerline leaks,
electric fencers, and a multitude of other local sources)...again
160 being the extreme.
3. Local signal congestion interference is worse on the low bands
because you do not have the effective skip zone protection that
higher bands afford. This case is inverted on the higher bands
where most interference is from strong distant stations, but it is
more difficult to generate DX signal strengths as strong there as
commonly experienced on 160 or 80 from local stations (-20 to -30 dBm).
Because of noise, any mode which allows a smaller (i.e. narrower)
noise bandwidth will be more effective in communications than a mode
which requires larger bandwidths. W8JI recently commented on this on
the FT-1000MP reflector:
http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/1000mp/2002-August/003416.html
********************************************************************
The reason is noise power is directly proportional to receiver
bandwidth, while signal level is constant as long as the signal is
narrower than the bandwidth. If you have a 100Hz filter bandwidth and
a 100Hz signal bandwidth, and switch to a wider 1kHz bandwidth, you
increase noise ten dB.
(This is most of the reason why people think PSK is significantly
better than other modes like CW. The digital system uses a ~70 Hz
filter in the computer but and the "ear" listening hears the signals
through a 2.1kHz SSB bandwidth of the receiver. Switch to a 100Hz
filter and copy a slow CW signal at slow typing speeds, and that
"apparent" advantage evaporates.)
*********************************************************************
SSB has an advantage in contest conditions where there is
relatively low manmade or atmospheric noise (20-10 meters) and
especially where interference due to signal congestion is not an
issue (i.e. 10 meters). Where congestion interference becomes an
issue, CW again has the advantage because of its narrow noise
bandwidth. In this case, the noise is primarily due to adjacent
signals rather than atmospheric or local manmade noise. The WRTC
teams made most of their contacts on CW because signal congestion
was severe on all of the bands below 10M and their 100W signals
were most effectively heard on CW using narrower bandwidths than the
wider bandwidth SSB requires. Taking a quick glance at the results,
only ONE of the 52 teams made more contacts on SSB than CW, and the
top 5 stations made 62% of their total contacts on CW, even though
scoring incentives were identical for both modes:
http://www.wrtc2002.org/results.htm (click on Full WRTC2002 Score
sheet link at the bottom for Excel spreadsheet)
I don't believe any current digital mode has an advantage
over either CW or SSB in contest conditions, not due to any
bandwidth considerations, but simply due to the awkwardness of the
human/computer/radio interface in making contacts rapidly (tuning,
identifying, exchanging, etc.) IMHO the human brain coupled to a
radio is a far more powerful combination under contest conditions
than any mode which requires a computer for coding/decoding signals.
This might change in the future but that's how I see it today.
73, Bill W4ZV
P.S. The 2000 CQ 160 CW & SSB Contests had nearly identical
participation levels (December 2000 CQ Magazine listed 4606 unique
calls for SSB and 4512 for CW), so participation does not explain the
advantage CW demonstrated in the contest results. Also, the 2001 ARRL
bandplan was not in effect for any 160 contest results previously
referenced, so all USA SSB stations had full access to the entire band.
(Of course there WAS a bandplan in effect before 2001 but nobody honored
it until Riley Hollingsworth sent enforcement letters last September).

Another aspect of both CW and SSB is that a sufficiently skilled operator
can copy more than one signal at a time. I'm not aware of a "new digital
mode" that supports this "feature".
Of course if you increased the data rate, and hence the bandwidth, you could
make the QSO's so fast that it would be indistinguishable from copying more
than one signal at a time, but the increased bandwidth would leave CW as
superior again. ;-)

*IF* feedlines were lossless, this would be true. In some situations, one
can use a feedline that is nearly lossless, so that the absolute SWR
matters less.
Such antennas are usually compromise antennas, and contestors are less
likely to compromise. Even so, LB Cebik's 88 foot doublet design is a
compromise of this type. It was really intended as a backup or second
radio antenna.

9913 isn't lossless at HF, but it's loss is lower than other coax. Well,
that is, until it fills up with water....
>Or that a 1 dB difference in a signal is unnoticable at either end.
For signals well above the noise, 1 dBis just perceptable. But for
signals in the noise, it cam make all the difference.

If connector loss were even 1%, running 1500 watts through a connection
for just a few minutes would heat it up with 15 watts of power. They
would be HOT.
In practice, when properly installed, connectors do not heat this way. In
fact, even at full power, most connectors don't show any measurable
heating at all. This lack of heating indicates that connectors have
negligable loss.
That said, you're still better off to have as few connectors as you can.
Each connector is still a point of failure.

This sort of Internet octopus would be pretty unwieldy, given the current
state of the network -- just too much latency. At NU1AW/4, I think that
having one station handle all the CW and another all the SSB was a pretty
good way to do things. With multipliers only counting once per band
there's little incentive to pass mults between modes.

Digipan allows you to copy 2 PSK31 signals at once. W1SQLPSK allows you
to copy up to 20 (yes, twenty!) PSK31 signals at once.
None, however, allow you to transmit more than one signal at once. I'm

You have not kept up! The latest versions of both DigiPan and
WinPSK can copy two separate signals at once. They even have a

Hi Rich,
Although I do support CW with all my heart, PSK 31 can copy several signals
simultaneously and the bandwidth is quite comparable with that of CW. Never

I have been suggesting an "Experimental" category in regular contests for just
this kind of activity. There's really no reason why not to try it in, say, CQ
WW except for it not meeting the requirements for any of the categories. I
think an Experimental category would open the doors to some innovations.
About the only requirement for Experimental category would be to obey all the
rules of your ham license and whatever you do, you have to write it up and
explain it publically so we can all think about it. You might want to restrict
it a tad by limits on one signal per band, 1500 watts maximum output, etc. If
the contest sponsors don't want to implement another category, then submit the
results as a check log and write it up anyway. If it's a really good idea,
either the idea will be adopted or you can start a new contest.
As far as just distributed efforts, you can have distributed M/S or M/M as with
W1AW/5, although identification gets a little sticky on a worldwide basis. You
could also have distributed teams. There comes a whole new set of interesting
strategic problems like how to allocate bands as the earth rotates. What if
you have enough bandwidth to listen from remote sites? What if a single-op has
a half-dozen remote stations? The possibilities are pretty wide open. The
Internet offers a tremendous dose of technology, why don't we make it possible
to use it, while still retaining an emphasis on operating skill?

Less power consumption transmitting, particularly if one is

Hi, Bill.
This is reminiscent of when I bought a brand new ARRL Handbook for Radio
Amateurs at Bookmaster a year or two ago. Word had spread via the Internet
that the Handbook was on sale for $8. The price tag was still the original
shelf price. You had to tell the counter clerk it was on sale--he then
looked it up on their computer system and found, yes, indeed, it was on
sale.
Apparently, Bookmaster/Barnes&Noble puts selected books on sale at selected
and various stores. The stores don't always get the word and/or they don't
get marked as being on sale.
I've made it a point to ask the clerk to check their network system if the
book I'm wanting to buy is on sale. (don't take their word for it; have them
check their computer system)

http://www.nucleus.com/~jordana/rme69dials.jpg
Calibration is 0-72 db in six db steps, with a lower scale clearly in

The photo is good enough that you can read the "RADIO MFG ENGINEERS"
and the PEORIA, ILLINOIS, U.S.A. in the meter face fine print.
I think the RME 69 is mid thirties. This is back when you had to read
the manual to see what the knobs did. Notice the complete lack of

So the IDEA of an S unit being 6 db is quite a bit older than some

There was a barrage of comments related to CW being outclassed by PSK31
including the following which was typical of them:
"Digipan allows you to copy 2 PSK31 signals at once. W1SQLPSK allows you
to copy up to 20 (yes, twenty!) PSK31 signals at once."
I believe the problem, which you will in turn say is semantics, that a
lot of us have is that we feel statements like the above are just plain
wrong.
Why?
Because the OPERATOR is NOT COPYING the signals ... a machine is.
If this is indeed the direction we are headed I guess things like
contesting and WRTC are history - after all it will be which engineer
has access to the best components and can design the best boards for
their "decoders"
This is also the reason why a lot of us do not even both investigating
PSK31 - it isn't operating ... I also feel the same way about RTTY. If I
am not having to use my brain to decipher sounds and turn them into
contest exchanges, etc. it is not operating (to me) .
What is the sizzle, what is the romance, why bother?
Data exchange is not operating, IMHO. That's what the internet is for!
And I agree that it is possible to copy more stations at one time on CW
than phone - if you are really good!

A 6 dB division and intuitively the half, 3dB, have definitely a
meaning.
6dB equals a doubling in voltage and a four times the power, 3dB
increase a power doubling, and so on.
Everything loses meaning when the AGC voltage doesn't follow this
logaritmic law and a receiver is a communication equipment rather than
an instrument.

Well said Jim. When contesting or DXing becomes nothing more
than exchanging data between our computers, everyone being 599+ with
no more effort than plugging their laptop into their telephone jack,
then this hobby is dead for me. You only need to look at some of
the spots and talk messages on the OH2AQ Webcluster to see that we
are getting close today. Take a look at the VHF spots especially:

When you can make a realtime sked using the internet, make "2-way QSO's"
without either operator actually having heard the other using WSJT at
VHF or QRSS at VLF, and then "confirm" it realtime, I personally have to
question what the point is. This just reminds me too much of nets (and
prompters on the low bands) where "2-way" QSO's could never have been
made without the assistance of a third party.
I maintain that contests are one of the few areas left in our
hobby that have not been corrupted by stuff like this, but this is why
fewer of us know how to S&P without a Packetcluster screen in front of
us. Everyone can be 599+ with no radios or antennas necessary if we
push this to the extreme. A monkey with a computer connection (there
already may be a few on this reflector IMHO) can be equally loud as
anyone else. Dumbing down using computer-to-computer QSO's is simply
the next logical step until we next decide not to bother with radios
and antennas at all. When we reach that stage, I'll be long gone.

P.S. I wonder what W1CW thinks about computer-to-computer QSO's?

Here's some of the "Q" signals for review
http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/forms/fsd218.pdf
before the WAE CW this weekend
http://www.waedc.de
QRL? Are you busy?
QRU? Have you anything for me?
QTC? How many messages have you to send?
QTX? Will you keep your station open for further communication with me?
QRU would be no QTC to send and
QTX would be I have some but it's not a good time to send them.
There are a lot of unique things about the WAE contest:
a) only contest with QTC feature
b) the mult station in a M/O has no 10-min band restriction
c) S/O off times can only be taken in up to three time blocks
d) Scores "booklet" sent to entrants (mailed from Germany)
Let's break some USA records this weekend!
S/O 2001 N2NC 1,605,344 - 1,810 - 1,726 - 454
M/O 2001 KC1XX 2,414,490 - 2,294 - 2,236 - 533

It's not true, Pete. The "phone" subbands actually separate analog
modulation (voice, fax, television), from "digital" subbands (RTTY,
Packet, etc). CW is permitted everywhere. CW operators can choose any
frequency that is free of QRM, regardless of mode.

Again -- the same error. There is no spectrum "set aside" for CW on HF.
All frequencies are allowed for CW.
Indeed, it would appear, from the comment made by the FCC official that
further expansion of analog modes is less likely. After all, if amatuers
start emphasizing more digital modes, then the increased demand of these
frequencies would support the digital subbands, not caused them to be
decreased.
> Digital devotees should realize that the
>existing phone sub-bands now protect them, too.
Uh, it's vice versa. CW devotees should realise their best allies against
"phone QRM" are digital devotees.

This has been a topic of discussion before. I remember an article in the
last 15 years or so indicating that perhaps the best way to enhance
digital contesting is to develop a special protocol for contest exchanges.
Of course, such a mode would appear to further remove the human element
from contest operation.

No one says you can't enjoy the mode. I do.

The operator still has to read the signal on the screen. The operator
still has to reply with his answers. To me, the operator is still copying
the signals - he's using his eyes instead of his ears. Why is that
different than SSB, CW or anything else? It is not totally a
machine-to-machine QSO, the operator is still involved. It's the
operator's ideas and thoughts that are being exchanged, not the machine's
(if machines can even have ideas and thoughts - read "Godel, Escher, Back
- an Eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas R. Hofstadter.)

Some of us think that new things are adventures. I still vividly recall
my first QSO's on 160, 30, 17, 12 meters; 222, 432, 1296, 2304, 3456 etc.
MHz. And my first QSO's with RTTY, PSK31, MFSK16, etc. They were ALL
adventures!

My opinion is that data exchange is data exchange - whether you exchange
the data via spoken word, Morse code, written or typed message or
telepathy - it's still data exchange. RADIO is the medium - a signal sent
from an electronic transmitter to an antenna and then relayed via free
space, ionosphere, troposphere, EME or whatever, and then received at
another antenna and detected by an electronic receiver. If it's done that
way, it's radio regardless of the mode of communication used. I myself am
interested in all the modes available. But I should note that CW is still
my favorite and occupies 90% or more of my operating time.

Gosh, another thread being beat to death. Valid points from
both camps, but look fellas; this is a hobby. Some folks like
Vanila and some like Chocolate.
Another example, analagous to Pete's Sailboat came from
Chuck Yeager at the Oshkosh airshow on "Sunday Morning".
He mentioned that he had flown 2500 MPH, and that the F15s
and F16s were relatively easy to fly. He enjoys flying his
vintage P51 Mustang. As he said, That takes real skill, and
if you don't stay on top of it all the time, it will beat you up.
Why don't we just enjoy the hobby, what ever mode we prefer.

Hi Ronald:
I've done some more research. I'm using TR-Log. Jay
from Array Solutions provided a suggestion for filtering RF
noise.
The problem appears to be that the LPT port in this computer
can't drive the STROBE, PTT, CW, Radio A/B and one
paddle (DIT or DAH) reliably in the presence of RF.
I can see the PTT voltage levels varying a little bit on a
voltmeter, following the paddle keying. This is enough to
cause the PTT sensing in the audio switching to follow the
keying.
The radio A/B select is so marginal that adding a voltmeter
probe to one specific leg of the input circuit causes something
to go into oscillation!
I'm going to try a different computer, with a different LPT
port type. I suppose I should build an opto-isolated interface...
Thanks and 73,
Mark, KD4D

I haven't tried PSK31 yet, so can't comment there, but I have done some
RTTY. Normally I find myself in violent agreement with OJ on most things,
but this one is a big exception. There definitely IS an element operator
skill involved in RTTY--a HUGE element. Until you've been on the receiving
end of a good RTTY pile-up, you just can't appreciate what chaos is. There
are lots of good calls in that mess, but trying to pull out just one good
one can be quite a challenge. It's the kind of thing where a mediocre op is
likely to have a UBN rate that is just through the roof. (Right now I'm
living in dread of my UBN report from last winter's RTTY/RU, because I know
I'm one of said mediocre RTTY ops!) In addition, timing is
everything...just as it is in CW. I can listen to a really great RTTY op
(e.g. AA5AU) running a pile-up and see hear just as much beauty (well,
almost) as listing to one of the CW greats showing off their stuff.
In summary, my advice to OJ would be to give it a try sometime. I think Jim
just might discover a new challenge and have some fun. And, super op that
he is, I would expect that eventually--after he learned the needed
skills--he would work his way into the top 10 boxes. Say, didn't K5ZD do
just that a few years ago?

Message-ID: <20020806154246.15331.qmail@web13302.mail.yahoo.com>
This debate is like others along the same lines..
Both have dedicated camps of followers who have
passionate (and usually well-reasoned) points of
view and positions staked out. Neither will budge
(much) off their positions.
(An aside.. kinda reminds me of the Kipling poem
about the 7 blind men touching different parts of
an elephant and THEN describing the elephant.
Each was right, passionate, and accurate... but
they all lacked an overall contextual point of
reference.)
After having followed the 'CW/NO CW',
'CW/SSB/PSK/etc' debates.. one theme seems to be
constantly appearing - at least to my eyes.
The BIG difference between the two camps is the
level of human involvment in the effort to
successfully initiate, follow through on, and
complete the communications.
CW/SSB operations (without intervening
decisionmaking technology involved) INHERENTLY
make the human being an integral part of the
equation. You CAN'T do it without the human
being.
It REQUIRES a buy-in and a committment to
participate which axiomatically brings ownership
(with the subsequenct personal pleasure of
succeeding in doing) to the entire process.
Ownership involves investment and that requires
one to comitt to the investment which invokes a
personal comittment by the one who is invested in
he process.
The decision on 'go/no-go' and success/failure of
the mission is totally dependent on the decisions
made by the human being which further cement the
relationship and make that bond even tighter and
more personal.
In the case of technology driven modes such as
PSK/RTTY/etc. where the machine makes the
'go/no-go', 'success/failure' determination and
decision the human being is reduced to a lesser
role not having any real stake or buy-in to the
success or failure of the mission outcome.
The amount of commitment/involvement/investment
of self is reduced (or depending on the level of
automation/technology involved) basically
eliminated and therefore no real sense of
achievement or satisfaction.
If the mission succeeds, it is due to the machine
being the primary source of success.. if it
fails.. then the machine is responsible. All the
human did was tune a knob and press a
button/click a mouse and stand back out of the
way.
The success/failure is dependent on a 'thing' not
a person and that drives the value to the human
down to where it becomes just a commodity to be
used rather than something to invest in.
No personal connection.. no buy-in.. no
investment of self into the project.. little
comittment... therefore little pleasure in
success or desire to findout why things failed.
I AM NOT.. ANTIDIGITAL/AUTOMATED MODES! I believe
firmly that digital modes and all the wonderful
benefits have their place, surely. Let us use
them for their best purposes, of course. However,
I think we should try to keep the understanding
of WHY in mind whichwill help eliminate the
constant aruging about 'MY MODE'S BETTER'N YOUR
MODE BECAUSE....' OH YEAH! WELL *MY* MODE CAN
DO...."..etc..etc..
Just one hams humble and perhaps misguided
understanding.
Fingers are twitching!@ MUST BE TIME FOR A
CONTEST!

Unless you have spent some time operating RTTY contests please do not put down
those of us that do. It is not all machine nirvana and just watching the
equipment do everything. It still takes some brain power and close watching of
the screen to know when to switch decoders or change the settings and, to copy
partial print, shifted characters and other anomalies of RTTY.
73 and how many more days till FQP??

Subject: [CQ-Contest] but are YOU really
There was a barrage of comments related to CW being outclassed by PSK31
including the following which was typical of them:
"Digipan allows you to copy 2 PSK31 signals at once. W1SQLPSK allows you
to copy up to 20 (yes, twenty!) PSK31 signals at once."
I believe the problem, which you will in turn say is semantics, that a
lot of us have is that we feel statements like the above are just plain
wrong.
Why?
Because the OPERATOR is NOT COPYING the signals ... a machine is.
If this is indeed the direction we are headed I guess things like
contesting and WRTC are history - after all it will be which engineer
has access to the best components and can design the best boards for
their "decoders"
This is also the reason why a lot of us do not even both investigating
PSK31 - it isn't operating ... I also feel the same way about RTTY. If I
am not having to use my brain to decipher sounds and turn them into
contest exchanges, etc. it is not operating (to me) .
What is the sizzle, what is the romance, why bother?
Data exchange is not operating, IMHO. That's what the internet is for!
And I agree that it is possible to copy more stations at one time on CW
than phone - if you are really good!
73, am not trying to start a fire just stating my opinion - granted it
is from someone who feels older than N6TJ.

Well - to each their own - and anything that gets people excited about
doing radio is good.
However, for this op, having the radio signals in my head is where
the fun is. Hearing those dahs come off the moon (with my ears) is
so much more exciting than seeing some kind of computer printout.
Would phone sex be a bad analogy?
I have no interest in pursuing any kind of operating where the human
isn't in the receiving loop.

A monkey with a computer connection and thousands to spend on radio gear,
maybe.
Could somebody forward me this monkey's e-mail address.... I'm having a
bugger of a time setting up my MK-V for the digital modes.
Perhaps I just eat too many banannas, but I don't really think that all new
things are bad. (Just not as good as CW)

I agree. I've operated all 3 modes, and feel that the least amount of skill
is required for (in order):
1. The FQP
2. SSB
Three's and QRZ last two only,

Not to mention the technical side. Setting up a top-notch RTTY
station takes more than plugging a key into the CW jack,
especially on the receiving end. And yet it's not rocket science
either; it can be done by most anyone who has the desire.
Give it a try, why doncha?

True of course, but still beside point for me. What we are doing
is using RADIO for communication. If you want real human
involvement in your communications, go talk to the neighbor over
the back fence. That far exceeds anything you can do with radio.
I'm trying to point out that we have a technically-oriented
hobby. Nobody gets their license because they want to improve
their people skills. For some operators just picking up a mike
or key is enough. For others, they become fascinated by the
technical details and pursue their interests to a fare-thee-well.
I'd guess I'm about halfway up the curve. I have a lot invested
in my station (time and money), but it pales beside what some of
the EME guys do. Or the very top contesters and DXers.
IMO, we are engaged in a technical hobby. The human interchange
is fun but secondary, and not the real driving force. YMMV and
probably does, but that's how I see it.

Lots of pro's and con's on this "issue" sparked by Trey's ambitious and
thoughtful ideas.
Most of the pro's and con's have been covered except for
family issues and career issues. These are issues that are not safe
to ignore.
Each year from about mid-January to the 3rd week in April,
I run a work marathon filled with issues of accounting, taxes, investments,
market trading, etc. Anyone in the financial services, tax or legal areas
has to deal with this. Some of us have more time and business
commitments than others.
In my case, it is almost impossible to make the time to operate in
both ARRLDX contests and CQWPX SSB. Fixing antennas is out of
the question, as is even thinking about the CQ160, Sprint or
anything else. Reviewing the log for typos (yes, I do this), and attempting
to write comments or contest notes stretches me almost to the breaking
point (as well as my family).
Now it is proposed that we have a 15 day deadline that for ARRLDX CW logs
will fall, depending on the calendar, either in the middle of ARRLDXSSB
weekend or shortly before it? It's just too soon in the middle of too much
going
on.
Perhaps this will be ok for others, but not for me. I also do not
understand how the difference between 15 and 30 days can be so pivotal and
crucial.
Let's first eliminate all the other sources of delays and deadlines before
we mess with this. Until and unless Congress changes our tax system and the
end of year work required to deal with it, a 15 day deadline virtually
ensures that I will have to make a choice between operating and not
submitting a log
or not operating at all.
I can't believe that this type of a choice, forced on the participants,
could be beneficial to any contest. For years we have waited many months
for the contest results. If instead of 7 months it will now take only 4
months, that's a great improvement! So why should it now be crucial to have
the results in 3.6 months instead of 4.0 moths?
I can wait, and I believe, so can a lot of the other participants.

Amen to that. Why does everything have to be (1) data rate, or (2) skill
involved? What IS this compulsion for speed?
CW is simply, pure FUN. (Remember when that was a sufficient goal?)
Before computers, and memory keyers, and electronic keyers, it was just
plain FUN listening to "fists". Anyone here remember those?
Some of the operators I was blessed to work (and know), like W3GRF, W3BES,
W4KFC, W6CUF, KH6IJ, W9IOP - they had unique FISTS. I wasted more SS time,
just sitting there listening to W4KFC run them at seemingly impossible
rates. Or the rat-a-tat-tat of KH6IJ. That was simply fun.
Even more recently, I wasted too much time in the 1984 CQ WW CW @ EA9KF
marveling at my friend N6AA @ 9Y4VT running Europe on 40 meters. Flawless,
and the skill all between the ears.
Computer screen, not required.
And Ville OH2MM @ EA8EA. You guys want to hear how the best does it?
I don't begin to purport to be as skilled as the afore-mentioned (as
everyone knows by now, I'm just perhaps more tenacious, and unfortunately
will out-last most of them), but when I'm running a pile-up from, say ZD8Z,
I envision myself as the conductor of a large orchestra (bear with me here,
guys). OK, it's your turn. And now yours, etc.
Done right, CW is music to our ears. That's it: CW is music. Anyone here
think they can come-up with something better than music?

>>> Anyone who can explain the merits of handing out QTC's in the WAE contest
Funny thing... I was thinking about this on my way home from work, hah!
Paul K4JA made an excellent point to Jerry KE9I and I after last
year's WAE SSB contest. We left a little too many unsent potential QTCs
on the table due to poor strategy on my part! I thought Sunday we would
be able to dump QTCs like crazy but that didn't work out.
QTCs usually contain info from 10 previous QSOs. Each QTC sent is
the same point value as each additional QSO. So assuming that you can
send off the 10 QTCs in maybe 1.5 to 2 mins (?) that would equate to
an hourly QSO rate of about 300-400. Even if sending 10 QTCs took
4 mins that would equate to an hourly rate of 150 QSOs/hour!
( 60mins / (time to send 10 QTCs in mins) ) * 10 = equivalent hourly QSO rate
And the rate "bump" works for both the EU and non-EU side of the contest....
Since we each get a point per QTC sent/recvd.
Now the punch line: You need more QSOs in order to send more QTCs!
Hats off to all the EU stations that are able to copy the QTCs sent at 30+ wpm!
Good luck everyone!
It should really be a lot of FUN...

Attention RTTY Contesters:
Working with Wayne, K7WM, the contest manager for NAQP
RTTY, I've come up with a survey on my website asking RTTY
contesters to express their opinion on whether or not 160M should
be added to the RTTY part of NAQP (like it is for CW and SSB).
Please only vote once. When you vote and place comments on the
page, they are sent to me in an E-mail. I will tabulate the results and
give them to Wayne. You don't have to make any comments, but
your callsign will be required.
I will publish the results on the web site and make an announcement here.
This survey will run one week and will be disabled on Wednesday, August 14th.
This is only a survey. I am guessing that it would take a very high result
FOR including 160M to have any thought about changing the RTTY rules
and that is not likely to happen IMO. But you never know.

Well, RTTY operators have been using 2 or 3 radios for quite some time.
And it isn't a difficult task to process multiple digital signals at one
time. There are PSK31 appliactions that do this today.
In fact, if we get beyond the limitations of a radio "audio channel"
there's no reason a digital radio couldn't decode 15 kHz, 50 kHz or even
an entire band worth of signals similtaneously -- something that would be
difficult or impossible with the human ear.

Very nice straw man you've knocked down there.
If anything, digital modes using FSK, PSK or other types of modulation
are easier to decode multiple instances similtaneously than OOK
(on-off-keying) modulations (like CW).

This is essentially Shannon's law. (Actually, the law takes into account
both the bandwidth and the threshold above noise -- the total area
therein defines the maximum information content that can be moved aross a
defined channel)
So, it follows that ANY mode (as you indicated) which has a narrow
bandwidth would be effective on these noisier bands.
One DISadvantage of CW is that the transmitter isn't always keyed. At
extremely low signal levels, it is hard to discern at the receiver when
the signal is present and when it is absent. For this reason, FSK and PSK
have a distinct advantage over OOK (CW) -- at least a 2 dB advantage.

I've never seen it in actual use, but there is an application called
RITTY, that apparently makes RTTY contesting very fast an effective.
There's also a RTTY contest application that works in concert with it.
I believe the future may have already arrived when you weren't

Guy,
Please name one NASA space mission in the last 40 years that has used
CW/OOK as a means of information transmission.
The "zero" state is exactly the problem with OOK. That's why it is
inferior to FSK, PSK or QAM.
Although PSK has a higher duty cycle than OOK, it has a 4 dB advantage in
the presence of Gaussian noise. One could reduce the power by half (3 dB)
over an OOK transmitter and still maintain a 1 dB advantage. If the duty
cycle of an OOK transmitter is 50%, the power consumption would be the
same, and still the PSK transmitter would have a 1 dB advantage.
OOK doesn't cut the mustard for space communications.

CW is music, but certainly not better than the music at Alpine Valley,

the remaining Grateful Dead, performed for two days at their

Were any other contesters there, and did you notice the callsign K6A

If that's a clue that they plan to get their licenses, and use that

Interesting discussions about various modes. Wish it was a little closer to
the topic of contesting.
Since most contests are CW only, SSB only, or digital only (and a few are
CW+SSB), should there be a change?
What if there was a contest that wasn't single mode (or if multiple mode,
didn't reward with extra points for QSOs on each mode like IARU HF)?
Maybe that would help to answer the question of which mode works best in which
conditions. You'd have to choose the mode that would give you the best
combination of rate combined with ability to find new stations and work them
fast. That happens somewhat in the IARU HF, but there is no major contest I'm
aware of where CW and digital modes are both allowed (except Field Day, and
digital activity is fairly minor).

Prove it. I'll wait to see meaningful results or data before
I take your word for it. I've never seen any rates for RTTY that are
anywhere close to either CW or SSB rates. It would be interesting to
know what K3MM or N4GN (previous record holder) had for peak rates
but I would doubt they could be much above 120/hour even under optimum
conditions and with plenty of stations calling. Time for some facts
rather than more unsubstantiated opinions.

That would be a neat contest, though I wonder the extent to which you could
convince ops whose stations aren't already equipped to do the digital modes.
It is, of course, easier now with sound card applications that essentially
only require audio, PTT and control connections to a radio, but I imagine a
lot of ops won't bother even to do that (or if they have the requisite
connections, even to load the digital-mode application).
Be that as it may, PSK modes may be the answer to contesting during the
sunspot doldrums, or for those of us in the black hole...
Funny how the course of this thread changed from "which mode is technically
superior?" to "which mode is most fun?" I think it has been demonstrated
that PSK31 wins hands down in the technical superiority challenge but I'd
have to agree it falls dreadfully short on the fun-to-do scale. (I mean,
really, how can anyone contest the superiority of a mode that allows full
copy on signals that you can't even hear?)
That said, I will NOT be trading my Benchers for a PSK program anytime soon.

Inspired (!) by the recent debate on here about digital modes, etc. I

There has been a long-running debate on the Contests reflector recently
about whether digital modes such as PSK31 and WSJT (used on VHF for weak
signal work) are "real" amateur radio. Views, as you might expect, vary from
"CW is the only real mode" to those who believe the new modes will
eventually oust CW and SSB altogether. Indeed, there seems to be another
theory on the go to the effect that the FCC will eventually ban the
"traditional" modes altogether, as being obsolete, and insist that the
amateur bands only be used for high-tech modes. As always, I suspect the
real truth is far from either extreme.
Far be it from me to give a definitive answer, as there are obviously many
shades between the two extremes I have described. But it seems to me there
are several elements here, and to focus on just one of them is to hobble
this fascinating and broad-based hobby of ours.
Firstly, there is the aspect of amateur radio which lies in technical
experimentation (which increasingly nowadays means software rather than
hardware, that being the nature of the way technology has evolved). Amateurs
have a distinguished history of technological innovation, and to see
amateurs pioneering new ways of, for example, reliably achieving VHF/UHF
communication via the moon with much more modest stations than heretofore is
an example of real progress. It opens up low signal work to a much greater
community than before. Who knows, the professionals may have something to
learn from this too, as they did from packet radio and other advances. And,
of course, if radio amateurs refuse to adopt technological advances, we
might just as well still be using AM or even spark gaps. All this
experimentation, of course, helps also to hone our technological skills,
continuing amateur radio's role as a pool of communications specialists,
which employers can and do draw from (at least one UK employer in the
communications sector will automatically shortlist any job application from
a licensed amateur).
Secondly, there is the aspect of amateur radio which is public service,
perhaps less so in the UK, but very much so in the USA, the Caribbean
islands, and elsewhere. There is already an inquiry underway into why the
professional communicators were less than impressive in the aftermath of
September 11th, and we are all aware that radio amateurs played an important
role in plugging the gap. But supporting professionals in emergency
situations require that we be professional ourselves. This can mean, for
example, employing the latest technology, particularly digital technology.
However much we love SSB or CW, a packet message will almost certainly be
delivered with a higher degree of accuracy and, perhaps even more
importantly, with an audit trail.
Thirdly, there is the actual operating element. CW and SSB demand specific
skills (CW especially so), and employing those skills, especially in a
competitive situation (DXing or contesting) hones them, while giving us a
real sense of satisfaction. It is a moot point whether those skills are
transferable in the 21st century but, in a sense, this doesn't matter, any
more than whether a fly fisherman could be useful on a trawler. Some would
argue that the digital modes require no skill, as the operator isn't
actually listening to, and decoding the signals himself. Anyone who has
operated a digital modes contest is likely to disagree strongly; the
workload can be even higher than the traditional modes if a high QSO rate is
to be maintained. Certainly there are all the usual strategy decisions of
when to run, when to search and pounce, when to change bands, etc.
Fourthly, (lastly, or are there other aspects I should have mentioned too?),
amateur radio is very much a bridge between nations, perhaps one of its most
vital roles when there is so much suspicion and enmity around. Do the new
modes help or hinder? Amateurs have always argued that CW is great, because
even the poorest amateurs in emerging countries can probably buy or build a
CW rig. CW also goes a long way to overcoming language barriers. But wait a
minute. Who is to teach CW to those aspirants in the developing world. From
personal experience in Africa and elsewhere, probably no one. I could
equally argue that digital modes have real benefits. The amateur in a
tenament building with little or no room for outside antennas, and
surrounded by electrical noise from neighbouring appliances, may find HF
radio quite impossible. But the new modes, able to discern signals at much
lower levels, even below the noise threshold, may give his hobby a new lease
of life (indeed, for may amateurs, PSK31 has already done exactly that).
And who knows, in the not too distant future, real-time translation software
may totally remove the language barrier, bringing back into our
communications the thousands of amateurs who currently don't call us because
they are insufficiently confident in their use of English.
All in all, I believe that as a hobby we should embrace change as we always
have, while continuing, as individuals, to enjoy those aspects which
particularly appeal to us. Live and let live, as the old saying goes!

Interesting comment.
For me, fun is that spine tingle I get watching an almost
inaudible signal print. Pure magic.
But, to each his own.

RTTY rates will never be higher than CW or SSB overall. The point is
moot. However, depending on the individual, RTTY rates can be higher
than in the other modes consistently.
For instance, my RTTY rates are always higher than my CW rates because
I've mastered SO2R on RTTY and not yet on CW even though I've
been CW contesting over 30 years.
The highest rate I've ever achieved as a single op on RTTY was 93 per hour.
I did this twice. During the first hour of the 2001 RTTY Roundup and the
2nd hour of the 2001 CQWW RTTY contest. Both were Low Power. I've
never achieved this rate on CW, ever, high or low power even though I've
tried. The problem with RTTY rates is that there are not as many RTTY
contesters as there are CW and SSB contesters. However, the number of
RTTY contesters is rising after every contest.
73, Don AA5AU

Hello fellow contesters;
I have read much of this thread on digital modes etc. There has been a lot
of talk along the lines of Chuck's post I am replying to. If we are talking
strictly about the copying of a signal, then yes, SSB and CW do require the
human component. However this discussion seems to miss what to me is a much
larger part of contesting - propagation, equipment, knowing your station,
knowing your personal limitations.
I personally have done a fair amount of SSB, CW and RTTY contesting. Yes,
when I do a RTTY contest I sit back with a burger in one hand and a beer in
the other, and occationally click the mouse. However, when there is a weak
one, I don't just give up and say "oh well, the machine can't copy it". I
read the text on the screen intently to see if I can find a prefix. I check
the clock to see if maybe there would be some other propagation mode that
might make sense (backscatter, skew path, long path etc) and try turning the
beam. Then I try a lower or higher antenna (even if it doesn't make sense).
I tweak the filters. I ask for fills. Often knowing to try these other
techniques brings the station up enough for the machine to do its work.
Sometimes this results in grabbing a mult, sometimes it isin't worth it -
just another DL. Before a contest I spend hours pouring over past years
logs of my station and other similar stations, planning, making band plans,
looking at current propigation conditions, deciding what band to be on when,
and beaming which direction. This often opens my eyes to wierd propigation
anomilies I can take advantage of, or a strategy that I tried last time that
clearly didn't work. It also allows me to make more balanced decisions
after a long night of 20/hr rates on 80M RTTY.
My point is that digital contests (at least RTTY) don't take the operator
out of the equation, it just relieves the operator from being the one to
copy the actual signal. There is still plenty of operator skill involved

Good idea because PSK contesting, IMO, is not fun at all (yet). Having entered
a good share of PSK contests, I can tell you that PSK31 is an excellent
conversational mode, but having nearly 20 years of RTTY contesting, I find PSK
contesting way too slow to be enjoyable. I no longer participate in PSK
contesting.
It's just not fun.
I believe the ARI International DX Contest is the only somewhat-major contest
that includes SSB, CW and Digital. When talking about Digital contesting, you
must think in terms of RTTY because any of the other digital modes are not
conducive to contesting at all. There is a mixed mode category in this contest.
I normally operate this contest RTTY only, and will occasionally work stations
with serial numbers several hundred higher than mine so I know these stations
are mixed. But the number of mixed stations appears to be low.
The CQ-M International DX Contest is SSB, CW and SSTV! There is no
combined SSB, CW & SSTV category though. There are combined SSB & CW
categories.
The Ukrainian DX Contest is CW, SSB & RTTY. The single op and mult op
categories are all mode only. But there is a RTTY only category.
For years, many RTTY operators have wanted RTTY included in the ARRL
10 meter contest (including me). I dabble in the CW part of the contest,
but like a lot of RTTY operators, feel we are missing out on the fun of the
ten meter contest. We feel the 28200-28300 section of the band could be used
for RTTY. They could still retain the mixed CW & SSB category and add
a RTTY only category for single and multi ops and reach more of the contesting
community as a whole. Even if RTTY was restricted to 28250-28300, it would
be better than having no RTTY at all.
I don't know that an all-mode contest category will ever be popular. I'm
willing to guess that at best, many of us are two mode contesters but not
3 mode.

Exactly. Contesting is NOT about which mode gives the most 'reliable
transport'. In fact, the more reliable the transport mechanics, the less
opportunity for the operator to get involved and make a difference. If I
want high-rate reliable transport, I'll use TCP/IP over fiber. If we're
talking about Health-and-Welfare emergency traffic, I'll take an
error-correcting mode with zero requirements on the operator.
Contesting is fun precisely because it's hard enough that there is no
guaranteed winning strategy and has enough variability that the game is
always different. By increasing the reliability of the communications, the
amount of variability, and thus, the fun, is reduced.

I can't sit quietly while this thread goes on.
Below, W4ZV suggests that because RTTY contest scores are
generally lower than their CW or SSB counterparts, he can
conclude that RTTY and other digital modes are slower and
have inherently lower rates than their CW or SSB counterparts.
I don't want to endorse AA4LR's software choices without
the necessary expertise, but I'd have to object to the closed
mindedness that W4ZV displays.
I'm a guy who "loves" the music of contesting, and for me that
means the chorus of SSB contesters, the symphony of CW,
and the grand combinations found in contests like the CQP.
But, for me, modern RTTY contests are like sheet music.
Sheet music just doesn't have the same sound as music that's
being performed. But, old time RTTY contests with the old
Model 15's kerchunking away rhythmically-- now that was
percussion.
Be that as it may, I'd still have to object that with sufficient
activity and technical advancement the digital modes have the
potential for much higher contest score yields than CW and
SSB. There's simply not enough digital mode contesting to
drive the scores up. Perhaps this is because many digital
mode contesters are active on CW and SSB while only a
fraction of CW and SSB contesters are active on digital
modes.
When I began contesting, and W4ZV as well, the record
high CW scores for most contests typically eclipsed the
phone scores just as the record high phone score he lists
below eclipses the RTTY score. How quickly he forgets.

Very interesting.
This topic has come up before -- why not include RTTY on 160m?
Traditionally, hams have found that 45 baud RTTY doesn't work so hot on
160m. The reason for this is the same reason that 300 baud packet doesn't
work so hot on 40m, and virtually not at all on 80m.
The specific problem has to do with the nature of the communications
channel on HF, well below the MUF. At these frequencies, there will often
be several propagation paths between two points. This multipath
propagation produces some interesting effects, including the observed
fading of the mark or space frequency.
There is one other effect -- multipath distortion of symbols. Since each
path has a slightly different distance, each change in the digital signal
arrives at slightly different times at the receiver. As you move further
below the MUF, the effect is much more pronounced. At some point, digital
symbols are smeared together, and cannot be easily separated.
Higher symbol rates (300 baud) show this effect at higher frequencies. 45
baud RTTY has been used effectively for many years on 80m -- but not on
160m.
The solution is simply to increase the symbol length. For single-bit
modes like Baudot RTTY, this would also decrease the information rate.
But, better to get the information across slowly than not at all.
PSK31, with it's lower symbol rate, may be more effective on 160m than
conventional Baudot RTTY. Slowing RTTY to 30 or 22 baud ought to be more
than sufficient to make reliable communications possible on 160m.

_________________________________________________________
There is another compensating factor on 160 meters which reduces
many of the effects that Bill mentions: Most 160 meter QSOs are
at a shorter distance than on the higher frequencies. The closer
the two stations, the less chance for multipath distortion.
Granted, if you tried to work a station half way around the world
on 160 meter RTTY, it would probably be a mess, if it even could
be done. But half way across the country ain't that bad. I only
have eight 160 meter RTTY QSOs in the log, but I don't recall any
particular difficulty with any of them. The farthest one was
about 1500 miles.
I'd like to give NAQP or some other contest a try. If it really
doesn't work, we can always go back.

I am thinking out loud here, but I do have some small experience with data
recovery in a difficult channel...
There are many ways to solve the problem (other than increasing the symbol
rate), even within the existing protocol. In general, the trick is to
correctly characterize the error function of the channel and to compensate
for this during transmit and/or receive.
Seems to me that if we set up the challenge of 160m for the folks who write
the RTTY software, we may very well end up with an improved product on the
other bands.

Hello Contesters!
The 48th WAE-DX-Contest is scheduled for the upcoming weekend, August
10/11 for the telegraphy portion. Operation is restricted to the
five classic HF bands from 10 to 80 meters. Exchange RST and serial
number. If you want to get serious, check out the rules, which are
published on the WAEDC Web site at http://www.waedc.de. Be sure to read
the chapter about QTC traffic.
There are minor changes in the rules in respect to previous years:
new DX multipliers for EU participants, a low power category, markup
of unassisted OPs, no more 10 minute QSY rule for Single OPs and
other little changes.
For the EU's:
Activities from some rare spots have been announced for the contest:
9Y4/DL5MAE, 5B4AGN, 9K9O, FR5FD, HS0/OZ1HET, JY9QJ, PJ2M, VP2V/N2WKS,
YB0ECT, ZL6QH and ZS4TX. Remember that at this time of the year,
stations in the southern hemisphere are enjoying good and quiet low band
propagation and so interesting QSOs can be made during WAEDC-CW with
South America, South Africa and Australia/New Zealand on the 80 m band.
For the non-EU's:
Several of the rare EU countries are expected to show up in this event.
Tune the bands and watch out for the 3A, C3, CU, GD, GJ, SV5, SV9, TK
and ZA stations! It is a good time to improve your DXCC totals. Join the
fun by sending QTCs back to EU stations. You don't need a big station
for this, everybody will want you even if you only have a tiny signal.
If you want to listen in on how QTCs traffic sounds, take a look at the
WAEDC Web site where some MP3 files of last year's QTC traffic are
available.
Last minute information is available on the WAEDC Web site
at http://www.waedc.de.
See you all during the weekend!

> >>> Anyone who can explain the merits of handing out QTC's in the WAE
contest
Because it's different than the other contests and THAT is what makes the
WAE so much fun. It's different. Different scoring, different challenges,
different skills, ... It's a great contest!
> Hats off to all the EU stations that are able to copy the QTCs sent at 30+
wpm!
Amen to that!!

My TS850S repair web page has several new updates to it (thanks to
people like you who are contributing). I know a lot of people use
this radio in contests - and it is a very good value these days as
you can have a great radio with filters for under a kilo-buck on
e-bay.
Please check it out - there are many well known common failures that
are discussed.

And Bob is not commenting the single band scores in the magazine anymore.
But there is at least one single band score I would like to point out, check
this:
28MHz
HC8A 3.916.600 6957 39 161
(op N6KT)
That's almost 7000qs on 10 meters! (And almost 4 million points)
Wow, another great score from "Mr. Fast" !

Message-ID: <004001c24188$8258a380$84abe4d8@bendcable.com>
I am looking for a small rig to take on a low pressure DX-pedition.
The country's power limit is 150W. The obvious answer is one of the smaller
"mobile rigs' IC706, TS-50S, FT-100, etc.
My question is which of the above is the best CW rig for a multiple
transmitter environment? I do not need 2m or 432 but 6m would be nice.

HI!
As far as I know the best small radio is ic706mk2g (price performance), but
depence what you need and like. If you do not want to spent much money ic735
would serve also!

QTC copy is much more enjoyable if traffic is sent in a smart fashion.
No need for repeated hour or leading zeros in received serial numbers.
UA9s are very good at that!

Hi Jim
It's plain to see you have never operated a RTTY contest. CW
contests are FUN, but so are RTTY contests. You have to make the
same decisions in either contest. When to change bands. Moving
guys from band to band. When to run and when to S&P. Run 2
radios or 1 radio. Catching that LP opening on 10 meters for a
quick couple of new ones. The excitement of seeing (or hearing)
a "goodie" come back to me is the same, no matter what contest or
mode it is. Try it, you'll like it!! Now PSK31, that's a horse
of a different color. Not much fun talking to a buffer in
someone's computer. 73

The 100W version of the Elecraft K2 is the best small CW rig, hands down, if
you can get your hands on one - or if you have the time to build one before
the trip.
I would not recommend the FT-100 for multi-tx: it seems to have some sort of
low-level broadband noise it spits out that is enough to really annoy other
nearby rigs. Filtering will clean it up, but that would seem to defeat your
size purpose. Other than that, the 100 is a pretty nice rig.
hope this helps - 73 - jeff wk6i

Tom is right on the ball with his answer Jim. I love cw also, but one
of the most fascinating things about RTTY is you never have to hear a
single sound. Just sit there with the mouse and go go go.
Plus, you won't wake up Monday morning to "diddle diddle" ringing in
your ears! ):>
Come on and give us a try, you find the RTTY folks are about the
nicest bunch you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting.

Access) provided the hosting for free. Since we started the eHam.net web
site two years ago and began to accept advertising, eHam has been able to
pay a small amount each month toward the hosting costs.
Today, eHam.net and Contesting.com steadily consume more than a T-1 of
bandwidth. Combined, the two sites deliver well over 4 million pages and
push more than 200 gigabytes of data each month. The success of both
sites and all of the mailing lists are demanding more and redundant
bandwidth. However, we face the question of how to pay for it.
The cost to host this level of bandwidth most anywhere else would exceed
$2000 per month. eHam is currently able to contribute only $250.00 per
month, leaving Akorn Access out of pocket for at least $23,700 per year.
In the past, I have been able to cover these costs because Akorn was doing
well enough in other areas and the utilization was not as high. With the
recent slow down in the economy and our changing Internet access business,
Akorn is unable to continue this level of support. Additionally, many
potential advertisers are engrained in their print advertising, and refuse
to acknowledge the Internet as a viable method of promoting their
products. Although we continue to sign up new advertisers, they are not
coming (and funding the site) at the same rate as the bandwidth
utilization.
So, with regret, I'm reluctantly forced to turn to the users of both sites
for ongoing assistance.
We have an annual subscription program at eHam.net for users to help pay
for the site operations. We don't define the amount of the subscription,
but rather suggest that each user define for themselves the site's value,
and consider their own financial ability to subscribe. We suggest
comparing how much time you spend reading QST or CQ magazines with how
much time you spend reading eHam.net, Contesting.com, or the various
mailing lists when making your decision.
You can help by subscribing at http://www.eham.net/cart/product/111. If
you are unable to contribute by credit card, you can send a check to
eHam.net, 5095 Hamptons Club Drive, Alpharetta, GA 30004.
Many thanks & 73
Bill Fisher, W4AN
PS - I should also point out that we have many volunteers working on both
Contesting.com and eHam.net who receive no compensation at all. These
folks volunteer their time to provide the rest of us these services. A
list of volunteers can be found on both sites, and it would go a long way
if you would write just one of them expressing your appreciation for their
time.

Come join the fun with a Tennessee Contest Group team. You don't have
to be in Tennessee to be on one of our teams. We will have teams from
big guns to little pistols. Team placement is based on past performance
(if any) so we usually have at least a couple of very competitive teams.
Drop me an e-mail by Thursday, August 15 if you are interested.

Peter,
I did a search on yahoo.com using "geochron" in the search field.
Netted a couple of hits.
One happens to be Geochron Enterprises

Hi Dick
Beware the IC706 in a multi rig environment. Steve G3VMW and I tried this a
few years ago and it was horrible. The 706 meets it's small size spec by
missing out some pretty important stuff....filtering! As a consequence the
706 generates some very significant broadband synth trash as soon as you go
to transmit....even with the key up. This problem stopped us using 706's on
DXpeditions where there was to be more than just one station on the air.
The TS50 doesn't seem to have this problem but it doesn't have 6m. I have no
experience of the FT100.
Roger G3SXW and I have used TS570s very successfully in multi-station
expedition set ups but they are rather larger than the radios you've
mentioned.
My own DXpedition rig of choice is now easily the Elecraft K2/100. No 6m
but boy what a radio. Superb rx performance and excellent QSK. Again a
little bigger than the 706 etc but still only 8 x 8.5 x 3 inches and easily
fits in hand baggage. It comes in kit form so you have to build it, though
if you wanted to buy one ready made I think you could find one easily with a
mail to the Elecraft reflector. There are folks out there who are in love
with just building the things!
Have fun.

Hi Pete!
I think Ham Radio carries them for about $1000. Before
spending that, you might consider their software version called
World Watch which lists for $50. http://www.geochronusa.com/
Depending on what you want to do, there are better
software programs available IMHO. I use one called DX-Aid
which costs $25...see some plots here:

Hi all,
I'm writing up the ARRL DX Phone contest reports for both QST and the ARRL Web
site. I'm looking for stories, scores, tall tales, photographs, and interesting
tidbits from the contest.
DX perspectives have been under-represented in the past, so with the expanded
coverage available on the Web I'd like to feature more material from outside NA.
I am also open to good ideas for the writeups in general - is there a topic
that should be covered or a new perspective? On the Web site, we can also
publish some sidebar-style digressions that tackle a small topic
in-depth...authors welcome!
Please send your suggestions or material to n0ax@arrl.net!

I also recommend Geoclock (both Windows and DOS versions):
http://www.geoclock.com/
We use it at KC1XX on three computers in the corners of the room. A lot
cheaper than Geochron!

that there is no Contest column, while columns exist for DX, Public

There's never been a contesting column in QST.
Contest results, as it happens, usually come out at least once each month,
so there is almost always contest content in each issue of QST, but there
is no regular column where content not related to the results of a specific
contest can be discussed.

Hello
I am looking for a contester contact in the

I've tried the email address of the listed contact for
the BCDXC but nothing heard. Any of you lurking around here?

Can't miss what we never had.
There's been a Contest Corral listing upcoming contests in QST for years.
But, I don't remember and, after going back to 1998 mags, don't find a QST
contest column or anything similar to K1AR's column in CQ.

As I look at my September 2002 QST, I see the following:
1) There is a contest related story thanks to W1WEF.
2) There is a contest write-up and line scores for RTTY Roundup
3) There is a contest write-up and line scores for 10m contest
4) There is a contest write-up for School Club Roundup with scores
5) There is a contest corral department. This is where the other items
mentioned above are also listed (DX, Public Service, QRP, etc).
A quick count shows that the above stories occupy roughly 18 pages of
QST. There are 160 pages in this QST. That means that 11% of this QST
contains contesting info.
Also, as I look back at other recent QST's... I don't see anything that
is now missing or different.
I am generally fairly observant but maybe I missed something?
Perhaps someone could say that if contesting is going to get 1 page in
QST (the department section) is the contest corral the best use of our
one page? But that is a different question/debate.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Small rig - Summary
Message-ID: <00a801c244e7$4d067c40$84abe4d8@bendcable.com>
The purpose of my question was to determine which small 100W rig was best to
take on a DXpedition where all rigs would be fairly close together but all
limited to 100W.
My thanks to all 25 who responded.
The hands down winner was the K2-100. 13 votes and it was not even on the
list. Clearly it is the best in a large signal environment and is a super
rig on CW.
The FT100 and IC706 each got some votes but also as many poor marks for
signal handling and for broadband noise and/or spurious trash on TX.
The best of the three rigs listed in my original inquiry was the TS50,
especially since they can be had on the used market for as little as $350,
and got positive comments in the recent VP8 write-ups.
Single votes were cast for the JST245, IC740, and IC736.
Now all we need is some of those small 20+A switchmode supplies, and we're
ready to fly. Anyone want to offer opinions of these? Alinco, Astron,
MFJ...?

Check out the Samlex America supplies-light in weight, small footprint, no
meters, remove a jumper and it'll run on 240 V and inexpensive to boot.

Here's my $.02 worth. I've had a SAMLEX SEC1223 (20A continuous, 23A ICS) for
almost 3 years. It probably has 1000 hours on it because for a couple of
years I used it to run my FT990 at home and it was turned on 24/7. A couple
of years ago, it was relegated to being the traveling power supply
accompanying the 990 for trips after I acquired my FT1000D. Most recent
contest uses were FDin PR thus year as NP4A where it ran the GOTA station,
and CQ WPX CW 2001 as FO8DX. In the latter case it ran on 220V (well actually
240V) from a generator.
I have nothing but praise for the unit. It's never let me down, even when it
was literally too hot to touch. (High temperatures, high humidity and a high
duty cycle in French Polynesia will do that).
Some RF noise, but above 40M it's tolerable being some 30 to 40 dB down from
the usual signals.
And the best part, it's the cheapest of the bunch at a street price of $99.95

All you need to do is use the column offset variable on the command line.
For example, on my latest NAQP CW Cabrillo log, the following works just
fine:
rate n4gn.cbr rate.txt 25

NA does support the dvp. It can not use nettsr.
With ct an Ethernet switch should work ok with nettsr, but it shouldn't
provide any advantage over a hub or 10base2 coax lan unless you are on a
network that is already congested with other traffic. Also with a hub
or switch you are more likely to have rf problems.

You *can* use QRATE with Cabrillo files.
Just hack out the text at the top and the bottom of the file,
and resave it as say rate.txt, and run the prog. normally. From
memory the time column is at position 25, but do double check
that! Works just fine for me.

QRATE works with any ASCII file, including Cabrillo.
Use a command line like this:
RATE YOURCALL.LOG RATESUMM.TXT 17
Works great!

The September/October issue of NCJ went to the printer on August 9. It
should hit the streets in the first week of September.
This issue includes the first part of a WRTC2002 article, several
articles about contesting activities at Visalia and Dayton, a Beverage
antenna article, a review of DX Atlas, an article about setting up your
PC to easily run old DOS programs along with WINDOWS programs, an
article about the old Connecticut Wireless Association, CQ WW SSB 2001
from D4, and a twin spin on the PA QSO Party. The station profile is
about one of our VE friends, and the people profile is about a
well-known Western Pennsylvania contester. And of course we have our
regular columns.
We're working on more WRTC2002 articles for the Nov/Dec issue, along
with other interesting features. Be sure to visit our web site
(compliments of WA7BNM) at www.ncjweb.com

Accessing this directory will allow you to download the personal
UBN report for your log after the log checking is finished.
Please make sure to store this message in a safe place for

The contest results will be published on the WAEDC Web Site
as follows:

Only 4 months from contest to results, which will be available on their

Subject: [CQ-Contest] What Is a Contact?
Message-ID: <002401c246ce$85faab00$1e7ef3d8@n7df>
I read the World Above 50 MHz column by W3EP in September QST with great
interest.
The practice of so many stations of not sending their call with each contact
has been a sore point with me for some time.
One thing he missed in his write-up is that sending your call with each contact
is actually an FCC requirement.
?97.119 Station identification.
(a) Each amateur station, except a space station or telecommand station, must
transmit its assigned call sign on its transmitting channel at the end of each
communication, and at least every ten minutes during a communication, for the
purpose of clearly making the source of the transmissions from the station
known to those receiving the transmissions. No station may transmit
unidentified communications or signals, or transmit as the station call sign,
any call sign not authorized to the station.
If the contest sponsors were to do their job correctly, they would include this
requirement in the contest rules and disqualify any station that violated it.
Likewise, DXpeditions should be disqualified from accreditation for violation
of the requirement.
What I would like to see is a special group of Official Observers (or their
equivalent) who would monitor contest operations and DXpeditions for violation
of this FCC regulation. If several such observers simultaneously reported
repeated violations then the station should be disqualified.

Hi Dick;
The four (4) pound Astron SS-25 or SS-30 models work well; use a 30 (no
meter model) here for 6M rig & a back up to the 17 year old Tripp-Lite
PR-40 "boat anchor" supply on the floor.
Trust all is well in OR.

Message-ID: <000c01c246f1$43781100$a0484140@delta>
I have used the Samlex SEC1223 and Astron 25 and 30A switchers
on several DXpeditions. I've used them on 240V (the Samlex) and 120V
both on foreign commercial mains and on generators.
I have had a number of failures of the Samlex and a couple on the Astron.
However, I cannot attribute the failures to specific causes except possible
WX and environment exposure to the Astrons (Kingman Reef).
I like the Astrons for their meters which can help sometimes in
troubleshooting (or assurance monitoring) in the field. I had one failure
of the set-screw head of the DC power connector. I'll be interfacing a
RigRunner DC strip stuck on top for distribution (though I dislike their
using the same rated Anderson Powerpole connector for the input
as all the outputs...and wonder about their marketing/sales strategy
of telling people that, "It's okay- they'll handle a lot more current than
the manufacturer rates them at". Can we read, "Sue job". Granted, we
are not likely to have problems in typical amateur usage.
I like the Samlex for the their small size, weight and price. When I
convert them to 240V I put a label outside noting that fact and
cable tie the jumper inside to some adjacent wiring so it won't get
lost and is available.
I would still buy either model but so far have had better luck with the
Astrons. I don't have any experience with other brands other than
the internal switcher supplies that Icom used to sell for the IC751/745,
etc. For awhile those where the only ones available until the Samlex
and another one from Electro Automation? (don't recall the name)
came out.

That may work for stations under fcc jurisdiction, but not all countries
have the same identification requirements. There are also already
plenty of OO's who can send notices about identification problems now.
If you want to spend your contest time policing fcc rules, you are free
to do that and report what ever you find to the contest committees
and/or fcc for action, personally I have better things to do during a
contest.

The Samlec SEC 1223 works well at 20A, is easily switched to 110/230v, and
has no RF noise I can detect. Small, low price, recommended -- I have three

Actually the rules require identification after each "communication"! IMHO,
a contest is a "continous" communication, and only ends when the advertised
time frame has elapsed? Therefore, "at least every ten minutes during a
communication" is not necessarily efficient, but within ?97.119 Station
identification FCC requirements.

_________________________________________________________
A jailhouse lawyer like myself could have a field day with this
one. Your original question was "What is a contact". I might
ask "What is a communication". Is it an exchange of information
with one station, or with more than one station? I'm sure there
is no shortage of interpretations, but only the FCC's
interpretation counts, and that seems to be lacking.
Looking at the rule as a whole, I believe the correct
interpretation should focus on the last part which states the
purpose of the identification. The FCC wants identification
every ten minutes AND at the time of going QRT. I don't read it
as being needed after each QSO. But hey, I haven't passed my
jailhouse lawyer bar exam either... :-)

Isn't that (one contest=one communication) pushing it a bit?
My understanding is that a 'communication' is a QSO.
According to The FCC Rule Book (ARRL, ISBN: 0-87259-245-6), page 6-4, the
Q&A explains that "legally, you have to ID only at the end of the QSO and at
least once every 10 minutes during the course of a QSO."
I accept the ARRL interpretation of the rule, since it was edited by Richard
Palm, K1CE, and he had a FCC staffer (John Johnston, W3BE) assist with the
editorial production of the book.

I found it. It is SAMLEX, not SAMLEC.
http://www.radiodan.com/misc/samlex1223.htm. Several dealers. The SEC 1223
seems to be priced from $89 to $99. Is one pound lighter than the Astron
SS-25 and much less expensive.

True, but contest sponsors are free to impose any additional rules they
wish, above and beyond FCC rules, and apply them to all participants
regardless of country.
IMHO adding such a rule in all contests would be a good thing. It already
exists in the Sprints and I don't see anyone complaining.
During a DXpedition, it is simply annoying to have to listen to a station
for 5 minutes before he IDs. During a contest, it is exceedingly
discourteous to the callers. At least the ones who are serious participants
in the contest.
=================================================================
"Contest OOs" are another issue. Actually I think that's a good idea too.
Everybody knows there are stations out there doing things they should get
disqualified for, but the chances they *will* get DQ'd are essentially zero.
It would not be easy to implement, especially on CW where anyone skilled
enough to catch violations would probably be participating in the contest.
It might be worth discussing though.

Congratulations to the gang at W5NN for a SUPERB VICTORY once again. This
time in the NAQP SSB M2 category.
The little station that could again comes through beating the Goliaths to
win nationally.
Unfortunately I was personally unable to operate due to other committments,
but the other guys again prove that big money, big towers, and big antennas
do not by themselves insure victory.
What is required for victory no matter where or with what someone operates
is hard work, and the knowledge required for the particular contest.
This is another testimony for all the small contest stations out there to
keep on trying. Victory can be attained with relatively modest stations.
Mike, once again, my hat is off to you. A job well done....an intelligent
contest plan pulled off with perfection. Way to go !!!!
Hey Mike, is your middle name "RODNEY" ?

At what point do we say enough with new rules? If we addressed every little
gripe on this reflector with a new rule, contest announcements would be
about as brief as War and Peace. The periodic reprintings of ARRL General
Rules would bankrupt the League. Serious stations would need to retain
attorneys just to figure it all out. Is that how far we want rulemaking to
go?
Certainly there are some blatant non-identifiers, but most stations that I
hear who don't ID after every QSO (and I think the jury is still out on
whether that really is what the FCC intends to stipulate (not that I need to
give one whit about what the FCC wants, unless I'm operating in the U.S.))
do tend to manage their pileups and their identity very well. My experience
in 20 years of contesting suggests the people like W9WI refers to are in the
vast minority.
If you tune across someone who isn't ID-ing as frequently as you would like,
it is likely because he knows that the people who were already in the pileup
know who he is. His failure to ID is possibly in some way a bonus to the
stations who got there first. It may be discourteous to the folk who are
newly tuned in, but it's not discourteous to those already calling.
But if you intend to be efficient about S&Ping, you should NOT be sitting
there long enough to get frustrated by his lack of IDs! Tune on, come back
later, dial him into a Quick Memory, plot him on your bandmap. BUT KEEP
WORKING STATIONS. Contests (like life) are too short to get your coax in a
knot over stuff like this. It only hurts your rate. If you can't work him
because he doesn't identify enough, DON'T! Don't let something like this let
you take your eye off the ball. Chances are by the time he does ID, he'll
just end up being the umpteenth zone 13 station you've worked anyway..
The worst thing you can do is be one of the loudmouth louts who yells
"WHAT'S YOUR CALL?" You're just interfering with those who already CAN work
the guy, and the law is quite clear on the legality of premeditated
interference. These folks are also hypocrites of the highest order, since
they don't include their callsign in their missive. Perhaps we need a rule
about that, too.
Sprints are unique, and require unique rules, because of the QSY rule. In
contests that actually allow running, the need for a rule about IDing is
less evident. If you don't like how someone is operating, don't work him.
Vote with your feet. Unless it's SS and the offending station is in VO1 or
VE8, there will be other mults, certainly there will be enough rate to make
up for it. But if enough people vote as you do, the other station will run
out of people to work and be forced to re-evaluate his operating technique.
You may believe that in the U.S., the quoted FCC regulation makes not IDing
after every Q against the law. I remain to be convinced. But even if it is,
remember, jaywalking is also illegal. In some places, chewing gum in a
public place is illegal. So is, in some areas, backing out of a front
driveway. But you know what, the world doesn't grind to a halt over any of
this stuff. The key here is perspective.

Yessirreebob. There's nothing like poor operating practices (the
hypocrites) piled on poor operating practices (the no-ID'ing station) to
make it a fun pileup.
Some/many/most of those asking his call may also be those who could and did
work the guy...but, then asked the question over and over and over again
because they don't know his callsign either!
I like the idea of all contests having a simple rule requiring both calls
within a QSO.
Seems to me to be more efficient for all concerned.

My attitude is exactly the same. I either skip working the station that does
not ID or just call him and when/if he comes back give him 59001 and ask him
his call sign.
That cost him few extra seconds to give the call sign and few more to make
sure I got it. If I do not get the call sign he is not in my log and will
loose points for two more QSO. If he does not meet my demand for his call
sign and does not put me into his log - he has still lost some valuable
time. It always works well. If every third station that gets through starts
asking his call he quickly gets the message.

<C97F028E8BEBD111A52E00805FE67BAF0A71BD19@usintex16lax.udh.unistudios.com>
QST did a review of several switching power supplies in the January 2000 issue.
The SS-30M had the "cleanest" DC trace with less than 20mVpp ripple and no
detectable switching spikes while the Samlex 1223 showed less than 30mVpp
ripple but 600mVpp switching spikes. Broadband noise is also 10 to 25db higher
on the Samlex supply. Surprisingly enough, the MFJ unit looks like it has the
lowest spectral noise of all the supplies tested! Spectral plots and trace
displays are in the report. You can download it from the ARRL site in the
members-only section. It's about 670K in size because it includes other
product reviews.
I've confirmed on my TS-850S/AT that you can hear the switching noise. At
Field Day 2001, we used a couple of Samlex 1223 supplies and my '850 would pick
up a 3 S-unit "bump" in the noise floor every few dozen kHertz on most HF
bands. The noise completely disappeared when we turned off the switchers and
used battery power. Although my '850 heard the noise, we weren't able to
detect it on 6 or 2 meters with a TM-255A 2M radio (with TenTec 1209
transverter for 6M). Nor was the noise discernable on Oak Hills or NorCal QRP
HF rigs (the '850 is known to have a VERY sensitive receiver!). I recently
purchased a Astron SS-30M, but haven't had time to test it yet with the same
'850. If anyone's interested, I'll hook it up sometime soon at home and post
results.

Message-ID: <d2.1cc9e3f5.2a93f994@aol.com>
The 2002 Ohio QSO Party will be this Saturday, August 24, from 16Z (noon EDT)
to 04Z Sunday (Midnight EDT).
Full details are at the OQP Web site, www.mrrc.net/oqp
Several items of note:
This year we have added an out of state club competition. No great prizes,
but include your club name with your log and contribute to the glory of your
club.
Several logging programs have added OQP support. Writelog now has a module,
courtesy of Steve, N9OH, which is available at:
<A
HREF="http://www.xnet.com/~sjwoodr/ham/modules";>http://www.xnet.com/~sjwoodr/ham/modules</A>
Free logging programs which support OQP include GenLog by W3KM, N1MM, and a
special demo version of NA. Links to all of these are available at the OQP
web site.
To promote high band activity, folks are encouraged to check 10 meters on the
hour of even GMT/EDT hours. If 15 meter conditions are like this past
weekend in NAQP, check 15 early and often. If the band seems to be in the
dumps, check it anyway on the hour of odd GMT/EDT hours. Keep in mind that
E-skip propagation can occur at any hour of this contest, so keep checking.
The Ohio QSO Party includes big activity from one of the biggest states, and
one of the best crew of mobile contesters of any state QSO party. We hope
you'll join us on Saturday!

Message-ID: <006b01c248d0$243a6780$d8840ec3@shack1>
I love my TS870 which is a great radio but which because of its lack of band
data to control antenna and filter switching has been relegated to secondary
use in favour of two FT1000MPs in my SO2R set-up. I did use the 870 for a
while with band data generated by the logging computer but I didn't find
that too satisfactory. The problem being that if the computer crashed band
data was lost and the 870 was potentially exposed to front end damage when
band pass filters etc dropped out of circuit.
Yesterday, I decided to see if I could find a way of modifying my 870 to
provide the band data output it lacked. I found it to be remarkably easy to
achieve but not as 4-bit parallel band data (Yaesu) rather as direct decoded
band data the like of which a band decoder connected to a Yaesu rig would
provide. It seems to me this is a way better deal. I don't need an
external band decoder for the 870. It will now directly switch my Array
Solutions Six Pack and my Dunestar band-pass filters.
If anyone wishes their 870 could do this I am happy to provide details of
this relatively simple mod.
73 and good contesting.

Is a rule necessary? Maybe not. Obviously there are many on the reflector
who feel not. There is definitely considerable sentiment among the
operators I know that failure to ID frequently is a serious problem. This
view is largely expressed by the "little pistols", the folks who spend most
or all of the contest S&P.
Obviously the FCC does not consider this a serious issue even if they do
feel their rules require an ID with each QSO. Really I don't think this
issue should be one for governments to be involved in. Certainly
participants in a round-table or traffic net don't need to be forced to ID
every time they stop transmitting.
But they aren't in a hurry either - nothing is lost if a would-be new
participant has to wait around a few minutes to find out who he's listening
to. We're different.
> Chances are by the time he does ID, he'll just end up being the umpteenth
> zone 13 station you've worked anyway..
Very true. It's the possibility he might be that South Sandwich station
nobody expected to show up, and the fear I might pass him up because I
thought it was LU6XXX who I'd already worked and who only IDd every 5
minutes.
Anyway, I have developed a strategy for dealing with this. I'm not going to
take my chances that the non-IDing station might be a needed mult. (or even
needed QSO) If I hear someone running, and I don't know, by hearing his
call, that he's a dupe, I'm going to call him. (no, I'm not going to
jeopardize my rate by continuing to call if he doesn't come back reasonably
quickly) If, when he comes back to me, he hasn't given his call, I'm going
to ask him for it.
(I'm of mixed mind regarding what to do if, after asking for his call, he
still fails to ID. One option is to keep asking him, stepping on other
callers if necessary, until he IDs. The other is to scratch the QSO. On
the one hand, that gives him a NIL - on the other since it's probably going
to flag as a dupe on his end, it's not going to hurt him significantly.)
Would you, in the NAQP, call "CQ NA", and then insist on exchanging RST,
rig, weather, and occupation before you give your name and QTH? Of course
not; that would be an amazingly discourteous attempt to have a good time at
the expense of your fellow competitors. Intentionally failing to ID
frequently isn't quite as blatant but IMHO it's a similar behavior.

All--
This note it to give all of you a brief update on one of our favorite
subjects--CQ WW trophies. Here you go:
* All 2000 plaques have been produced and shipped. If you haven't received
yours, you will shortly.
* All requests for replacement awards that I have received have also been
produced and shipped. If you have not received an old award, now would be a
great time to let me know and I'll take care of it.
* The 2001 SSB plaques have already been ordered and should be available for
shipment in about 30 days. (thanks to K8DX for his assistance). The CW group
is right behind.
In addition, I have received numerous requests for duplicate awards, usually
multi-operations wanting plaques for each operator or a guest op wishing to
give an award to his host. If you are interested, the cost for each award is
$50. Send your request to me along with payment to: John Dorr, K1AR, 2
Mitchell Pond Road, Windham, NH 03087. I have my engraver a little
overwhelmed right now (she's processing nearly 200 plaques for me), so I
would guess the lead-time on these orders will be about 60 days.
We're making progress, guys. Thanks for your patience.

I just noticed that Icom is apparently a sponsor (of plaques
awarded to winners) of the North American QSO Party. Is this
the first instance of major ham radio company doing this sort of
thing to directly support contesting? I know Icom and Yaesu and
others have spent a lot to support DXing, but I haven't seen much
support for contesting before:

The Top Of Europe Contesters (TOEC) hereby has the pleasure to invite all
amateur radio stations world wide to participate in the TOEC WW GRID CONTEST.
The aim of the contest is to boost the interest for "Grid hunting" on the HF
bands, and to introduce a contest where it is more important to copy the QSO
message than in most other similar events.
Contest event:
CW: August 24 - 25, 2002
Saturday 1200 UTC - Sunday 1200 UTC
Exchange:
RST + Grid Field/Square identifier, i.e. 599 JP73 (two letters (Grid Field) +
two figures (Grid Square)).
Multipliers:
Each Grid Field (JP, KO, EM etc.) worked gives 1 multiplier per band.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Re: TS870 Band data output
Message-ID: <003f01c249a0$0271c280$159c0ec3@shack1>
A number of people have responded to my mailing requesting further details.
A few others responded pointing me to
www.dk9ip.de/DK9IPprojects/DK9IPdecod/dk9ipdecod.html and to
www.qsl.net/k0bx/ where information can be found on a similar mod for the
TS850. I guess this just goes to show that most things in life have already
been done! You just need to know where to find the details!
For those that asked I will describe the mod I have done. A look at the
above URLs will also be worthwhile.
My initial idea was to try to find a source of 4-bit parralel band data
(Yaesu style) within the 870. It doesn't exist as the 870 ships band data
around inside the radio in serial form. Of course this data has to be
decoded for the purpose of switching the selector relays in the Final filter
circuit. This job is done by IC1 on the Final filter board (TC9174F).
What I decided to do was to bring out 6 buffered switching lines for the six
HF contest bands to facilitate automatic switching of my Array Solutions Six
Pack and my six band Dunestars. I don't need lines for 30/17/12m but these
can be available for anyone that does.
I mounted a piece of .1 inch pitch strip board about 3/4 inch square on a
DB9 female connector. I did this by wedging the edge of the strip board
between the two horizontal sets of pins on the DB9 such that pins 1-5 of the
DB9 lined up on the centre 5 tracks of the 7 track wide strip board. Pins
1-5 were then soldered to the board. Pins 6 & 9 were wired with short wire
links to tracks at either edge of the board. I connected 6 npn switching
transistor collectors, one to each of pins 1-6 of the DB9 and all six
emitters were taken to ground. The bases of each of the transistors were
taken via a 5k6 1/4W resistor towards the back edge of the strip board to
which I attached a piece of ribbon cable.
I connected the other end of the ribbon cable to the collectors of Q10, 11,
12, 14, 15, 16 on the foil side of the Final filter board which can be
located top centre of the radio under a removable metal plate. The filter
board must be removed to make the connections. Connection is relatively
easy as Kenwood have located spare pads close and connected to the
collectors of these devices. In order to make the mod neat I didn't worry
about which of pins 1-6 on the DB9 related to which band. It turned out in
my case to be 1=20, 2=160, 3=80, 4=15, 5-40 & 6=10m. I used BC337
transistors which are good for switching up to 45V at close to an amp.
I removed the external auto ATU connector, which for me is redundant and
mounted my DB9 in its place. Anyone not wishing to remove this could
possibly feed the ribbon cable out at the back just under the case top.
I claim no rocket science here. This is just a simple mod that solves what
for me has been a significant shortcoming in the use of my Kenwood TS870 for
contesting. I pass it on to you for what it is worth.
73 and good contesting

Anyone knows what happened to LogPlus ? Used to be one of the best DOS
logging programs, then it was gone but it finally came back last year (
or early this year) with the announcement of Windows version. The
original site was www.logplus.com, then after the comeback it was on
logplus.org, but now it's gone again. Any info ?

Icom was a major supporter of WRTC '96, though I don't know what they may
have done for 2000 or 2002. In the beginning of our fund-raising efforts,
we were having a terrible time getting anyone in the industry to do anything
besides laugh at us and tell us how terrible the times were. Only HRO was
willing to help, kicking in a $10K donation to get us started. Then Icom
America got creative and donated a bunch of radios which we were able to
sell to raise funds. (By donating equipment instead of cash, they were able
to get around the watchful eyes of their JA overlords.) I don't recall
Yaesu's response to our requests, but I do remember Kenwood laughing us
right out of the room. I'm not a fan of Icom radios, since they can't ever
seem to get their CW output waveform right. But they have been a very good
corporate citizen in supporting the contest community

30 responses received. No pattern. Astron, MFJ and Sanlex all equal.
Everyone who has tried the small light 20/23A switches likes them for what
they are - small and light. They are usually not noisy -- several folks
said they are used in MM stations with no troubles.
One only thing they apparently do not like is power outages - over/under
supply. several comments on breaking them on island trips when the local
power dumped.
Thanks to all who replied.

Message-ID: <8d.1d123d10.2a96f160@aol.com>
Ah, the joys of living in Florida...another lightning hit. It looks like the
main xcvr, an Icom 775 is toast. The other 775 was not in line so it looks
like it is clean.
Insurance will be buying a new transceiver and since the 775 is approximately
the same price, if not more than the 756 Pro and the FT 1000MP5, it looks
like decision time. I loved the 775 and am tempted to get another. The
reliability and simplicity of use are great. I have also heard very nice
things about the 756 and the 1000.
I am primarily a phone contester and like the fact that both the 775 and the
1000 put out more than 100 watts which is handy for contests with the 150
watt limit. I do operate some CW and plan on doing more in the future but my
main love is SSB contests.
Some of the review posts suggest quality control is more of an issue with
Yaesu than Icom. More trips back to the shop, but some suggest the 1000 is
the ultimate rig.
My question is this: knowing what my operating habits are, if you were in my
shoes and price were no object, which of the three would you purchase and
why. Also which of the stock filters would you recomnmend. You can either
send the suggestions and critiques to me or post them. I am not trying to
start a war of Icom vs Yaesu, only to get a feeling from the community about
the pros and cons of each. .This should be interesting.
Thanks for the help.

Hey Bill,
There are a lot of super nifty radios out there. The most obvious
issue, to me, is similarity between your two radios. Personally,
I have minor problems moving between an MP and an MP MkV.
Many of the important push buttons are in different places, and
the DSP works on one radio and it's dog poo on the other.
If you are sufficiently mental agile, how about the new
Ten Tec, (Orion?) as the second radio? Amazing specs,
but no user reports yet.
Or, if you're really brave, how about the Elecraft K2 with
the 100W (and several other) additions. Mine has been on
loan far more than it has been here, but I fell in love with
it (at the five watt level) in the few hours that I've been
able to use it. Check it out. Would you FEEL competitive
with your rig about the same size as a big 2M box?
Neat problem you have. I look fwd to reading other
replies.

10. State Map of Ohio, takes two to hold the map. Please don't do this while
calling cq or driving.
9. Radar detector for detecting highway patrolman. If pulled over still can use
excuse, "I am lost on my way to Dayton"
8. Rolls of Quarters. Good for paying the toll at the toll gate of the Ohio
Turnpike. "Also good for flipping to see who gets to ride shotgun"
7. Copy of OQP rules. can be also used if you run out of toilet paper cause you
are im-between exits. Remember to read them first.
6. Lemon Diet coke but remember to throw away the cans. Not good for anything
except making a large vertical antenna. use your imagination.
5. AAA Touring guide of Ohio. You can use pages not used for extra TP or
something to even out your mobile rig. but if you do get lost there is another
map incase your large state map blew out the window.
4. Book of Ohio restaurants, list will include Cracker Barrel, Arby's,Wendy's
Cracker Barrel, Bill Knapp's (now closed), oh yeah did I say Cracker Barrel?
Remember you can get a discount if you show your last years OQP log thanks to
K8MR.
3. Binoculars, good for making extra points in OQP. paragraph 4.2 seen in
rules says your get 3 points for making eye contact with a durgible. the list
contains such well knows as the Goodyear, Budweiser, and any other UFO that you
can identify correctly.
2. Amish cook book makes good reading material while im-between QSO's and
driving behind horse and buggy.
1. teleohone number to K8MR's incase you get lost.
good luck,73

Message-ID: <4.2.0.58.20020822233311.0099b640@mail.comcast.net>
Bill,
Dayton 1995. There I was, owner of two IC-765s which I was very pleased
with, and wrestling with the exact same decision as you. IC-775 or
FT-1000D? W8WD and I must have walked between the ICOM and Yaesu booths a
half dozen times.
My decision was compounded by the fact that I harbored an active dislike
for Yaesu radios. I owned (and still own) a FT-107M (the WHITE radio) with
which I won the 1984 ARRL ARRL DX CW from HR1DAP. Still, every other Yaesu
HF radio I used struck me as rather odd: FT-101s (any version), the FT-102
and any model of the FT-7x7 family. I harbored a secret fondness for the
FT-ONE which I got to use at N5AU in the 1982 CQWW, but it still had its
oddities and a huge price tag to boot.
I walked out of Dayton 1995 with a brand new FT-1000D. In the seven years
since I've acquired four more used ones ("Ya got a used FT-1000D for sale,
call K8CC - he'll buy it" :-)). Another FT-1000D is a long term guest in
the shack, courtesy of a friend on assignment in DL-land. This past
January I bought a used FT-1000MP from AES to see if I was missing
anything. Multi-multis consume lots of radios...
When I sit down to single op, the FT-1000D is radio I get behind. Compared
to my IC-765s, its a much better SSB radio which is what I was looking to
improve. The SSB crystal filtering of that era (dual 2.7 KHz filters
yielding a -6dB bandwidth of 2.4 KHz) was not narrow enough. The IC-775
struck me as a DSP wrapped around the back end of a IC-765.
I am a big fan of "simple to operate". In this regard, the FT-1000D is
better than the FT-1000MP, although I've gotten used to it by now. The
TS-950SDX IMO was the worst in this regard - lots of little knobs with
medium gray legends which were difficult to read.
K6KM makes an excellent point - if you're going to do SO2R, you really need
two radios of the same model. I did 1991 SS with one IC-765 and one
IC-761. Same front panels, but different controls in different spots. The
same condition exists between the FT-1000MP and MKV/Field.
So there are a few data points to consider. If all you can do is replace
the blasted radio, I'd get another IC-775. If you want simple to use,
150W+ and competitive capabilities, I'd sell the IC-775 and get two FT-1000Ds.
FWIW

Another option, which I use:
One FT-1000D and one FT-990. A used FT-990 can be had for under
$1K. It is basically the same radio as the 1000D, with an almost
identical layout. It doesn't have a second receiver, which is really
unnecessary in SO2R (unless you like listening to 4 receivers during a
contest!)

Bill:
Sorry about your rig.
Seems like it will help you a lot to answer two questions:
how important is it to have two easy to use rcvers operatable
simultaneously?
and, would you prefer to be able to shift rx/tx from ant1 to ant2
on the front panel, or would you rather be able to use ant2 for subrcvr
diversity reception?
I have the FT1000Mk5 which I like a lot for the 2 rcvrs and the ability to
push a front panel button to switch between rx+tx on either ant1 or ant2.
My FT1000D doesn't let you do that since ant2 is never a tx antenna. But
it does let you use the subrcvr to simultanteously listen on the second
antenna - really neat when you've got a horizontally opposed ant plugged
in ant1 and a vertical on ant2. If it matters to you, the 1000D looks and
feels like the most quality piece of equipment I've ever owned.
Happy to be corrected by others out there who have more experience with
these rigs,

Subject: [CQ-Contest] ICOM 775 vs ICOM 756 PRO 2 vs YAESU FT
1000 MP5
Ah, the joys of living in Florida...another lightning hit. It looks like
the
main xcvr, an Icom 775 is toast. The other 775 was not in line so it
looks
like it is clean.
Insurance will be buying a new transceiver and since the 775 is
approximately
the same price, if not more than the 756 Pro and the FT 1000MP5, it looks
like decision time. I loved the 775 and am tempted to get another. The
reliability and simplicity of use are great. I have also heard very nice
things about the 756 and the 1000.
I am primarily a phone contester and like the fact that both the 775 and
the
1000 put out more than 100 watts which is handy for contests with the 150
watt limit. I do operate some CW and plan on doing more in the future but
my
main love is SSB contests.
Some of the review posts suggest quality control is more of an issue with
Yaesu than Icom. More trips back to the shop, but some suggest the 1000
is
the ultimate rig.
My question is this: knowing what my operating habits are, if you were in
my
shoes and price were no object, which of the three would you purchase and
why. Also which of the stock filters would you recomnmend. You can either
send the suggestions and critiques to me or post them. I am not trying to
start a war of Icom vs Yaesu, only to get a feeling from the community
about
the pros and cons of each. .This should be interesting.
Thanks for the help.

The basic point is this.
** Don't worry if the OTHER station is playing by
the FCC rules (assuming that station is under the
FCC's jurisdiction) just make sure that YOU are
following the rules as best YOU know how for your
OWN station **
I'm not responsible for any other station's
operations so I don't give a burnt out 6146 if
they ID at the end or not. If I get their calland
exchange and I'm following the rules as best I
can and they don't.. NOT MY PROBLEM! **
just 1 ham's opinion..

Message-ID: <46.2c8982e0.2a985be7@aol.com>
Thanks to all who posted on this topic. I hope I responded individually to
each of you. If I didn't, my apologies to you.
OK, it looks like if the 775 is toast when it arrives at the the repair site,
it will probably be replaced by a 1000MP V. After looking at the review in
QST and hearing the good things about it from you guys, I think it is a no
lose situation. If I like the other 775 I have which was not zapped better
than the 1000 the 775 will become the run radio. If I like the 1000 better,
the 775 will stay the S/P radio and the 1000 will be the main radio. I have
operated two different radios before and it has not been a problem. If it
becomes one, the rig I am least happy with will be replaced with a twin of
the other.
Here's the question. What set of filters would you guys recommend for SSB
and which set for CW? Most of my operation is in contests, and I have no
desire to fire up on any of the digital modes, RTTY etc.
Thanks again for the help guys.

12 years have past since I had my own station to operate....been on contest
DXpeditions and some multi-op since. Now I am building my own shack. My
Geochron arrived 2 days ago. My two FT-1000D's are still in their boxes (I
had the first one at KH3 and loved it, so I got the other and have never
used it). I have been gathering SO2R e-mails over the past 6 years so I can
make up the rest of the station. Now I will need to select the antenna
switching hardware and computer programs to go along with them. I have
always preferred TR over CT, simply because of my fear of the windows
environment causing crashing and the subtle flexibility Tree had vision to
include early in the game. I found a $50 used 486 computer just for keying
the radio. I picked up a Heil boom mike/headset at WRTC 2002 and hope to
have enough aluminum up to be on in time for SS.
Hope to CU on.
Thanks for your summary. It confirms I am heading in the right direction.
73,
Pete

Message-ID: <025301c24b58$494e03d0$6401892c@amd1900>
Hello all,
I'm currently working together with K4UVT on a DXpedition Statistical
Log Analysis software called LogStat. This software reads an ADIF
DXpedition log and creates graphs on which operating strategy could be
changed. It will clearly show you what mode, band and continents needs
more attention, it also shows if the number of QSO's in a specific mode
goes down like RTTY or PSK so you know you have worked most of them and
can spent more time on other modes and bands.
An example based on our logs of last years DXpedition can be found on:
http://www.qsl.net/lldxt/j7_vp2m_2002/statistics-j7.html
What I want to ask you is to mail me a zipped ADIF file of one of your
DXpeditions (only > 10.000 QSO's, can be multiple callsigns), in return
I will mail you the statistical graphs. The reason of asking you this is
to test the software with "real" logs so we know if it can handle all
formats. Of course I will keep the logs confidential for my selves only.
Later this year the software will become available to all of you.
Hope to hear soon from you,

Message-ID: <1bb.551befb.2a98cf56@aol.com>
Yes, it's ZERO days to the Ohio QSO Party!
The fun starts today at 16Z (noon EDT), and goes 12 hours until 04Z Sunday.
Suggested frequencies are 45 KHz above the bottom on CW, and 3850, 7225,
14250, 21300, and 28450 on SSB.
Exchange serial number and county (OH) or state, province (VE), or "DX".
Full details are at www.mrrc.net/oqp
QSO Parties like these are greatly impacted by their mobile operations. We
will have six such operations by experienced contesters: AF8A (+W8AV), K8CC
(+W8MJ), K8MR, NY4N, W1NN, and WT9U. Just between these mobiles all 88
counties will be activated. Add in lots of home, portable, and other mobile
operations and you can count on a great contest with lots of activity.
See you soon in the OQP!

Well, if you happen to be the World #1 in your category and then you
find out to be classified into the wrong category where you are 137th or
so, you wouldn't call it accuracy, would you.
What CQ WW Contest organizers MUST MUST MUST do is to publish claimed
scores on the web, just like Steve N8BJQ does for WPX contest. That
would help to avoid a lot of disappointment for some.

>From the Ten-Tec web page on 24 August 2002:
--------------
"Please note that as of today (June 19, 2002) that we have not published
complete spec and receiver performance data - we expect these to be
forthcoming shortly and will publish them to our web site in the near
future. Printed literature and revised photos of the Orion will be available
in the next few weeks."
We will begin deliveries in September 2002, but it is likely that backorder
status will stretch delivery of some orders for the Orion past that date.
First orders in are the first orders shipped."
---------------
Excuse me, but I'm from the computer industry. That's where you know a
marketeer is lying simply by the fact that his lips are moving. While I'm
sure there are some people who are so loyal to Ten-Tec that they would jump
at the chance to get an early spot on this waiting list, I suggest that
those "early adopters" are likely to end up the ones with the arrows in
their backs. Personally, I think I'll wait until I hear an Orion on the air
and can read some reliable lab reports before jumping on this bandwagon.

Icom provided brand-new IC765 and IC735 radios for each station in the
original WRTC in Seattle in 1990. I remember being very impressed
with the IC765, and regret not having brought one back with me at the
very advantageous price that was on offer.
Icom provided us with brand-new IC756PROII and IC7400 (also known
as IC746PRO) on loan to the GB50 Jubilee station, and the rigs worked
flawlessly.
It seems to me that both Yaesu and Icom have gone crazy with their
rig naming conventions. IC756PROII, FT1000MP MK-V Field. Yuk.
Only Kenwood have stayed with a more sensible choice of identifier
for their rigs, unfortuntately in the area where it matters - performance
- Kenwood seem to have lost the plot. Will be interested to hear what
contesters think of the Ten-Tec Orion when it hits the streets. At
present if I had to get a new radio it would be the K2/100.

I got to see the new Ten Tec Orion for the first time at the Boxboro
convention this weekend. It looks like a nice package - especially if you
like black! The look is kind of a cross between an Icom and a TenTec.
Word is that the original production run is sold out. Second run is
expected some time before Christmas.
This radio reflects a new concept in radio design. The hardware is a
platform with user interface (knobs, dials, display) and RF. The real
features will be enabled through software. Assuming they have a strong
platform (the specs look good), the innovation and possibilities will come
from software. Too early to tell if the Ten Tec engineering team is up for
that challenge, but assuming the software can be upgraded in the field, the
potential for continuous improvement is intriguing.
Given the expected product availability, you have some time to think about
it and wait for some of the early user comments.

The "marketing liar" who wrote the text that appears on the Ten-Tec
web site regarding the new Orion HF transceiver is rumored to know
a thing or two about high-end receiver performance. I hear he even
gets on for the occasional CW contest. Unconfirmed at this hour...

George,
Great to hear back from you...sounds like fun..
Anyway, this online soapbox is the most exiting thing Ive seen from the
arrl in years..
If cq would do something like this it would add a new dimension to
contesting...
Just imagine getting all the soapbox commentaries that bring back the
memories of the contest and immediate information including photos of
the stations... this is fun all year long.. KUDOS to the arrl for this
effort...
Felipe

Most of the islands you've listed are owned by other countries and would
fly the flag of the parent country. The CIA World Fact Book might be a
good place to look.

Excellent group of programs. Not only do you get the Log Checker, you
also get a Cabrillo converter that converts just about any kind of log to
Cabrillo
and a Master Call database maintenance program which I use to maintain a very
large database for RTTY. Master call files can be converted for WriteLog, WF1B
or CT and I'm sure some of the others.

Lee, I use the WT4I contest tools, and I find them to be quite useful for
finding anomolies in Cabrillo files. For example, you can quickly and easily
find RST errors, Zone errors, Band errors, etc. There is a feature for using
master.dta, but I have never really every figured out how to use this,
however.
For me WT4I tools was worth the money.

I went out and traded my TS-570 for a TS-850. I feel as though I have left the
computer age for the stone age. So here are some questions.
1. only have one antenna post I have two antennas comming in there is only one
but I see this recieve antenna mod. Is that just for recieve or can you
transmit on it?
2. To have this hook into computer for like dxbase and have the vfo band and
mode switched auto matically then what can I use. there is no rs232 port so how
do you go about hooking it up then is there a box to buy or what?
3. keying with a contest program what can I use to do this with I have rig
blaster will that do the trick?
any other useful hints will be usefull thanks much.

The receive mod is for a receive only antenna. You only have 1 SO239

Kenwood made an interface called the IF232C, but I recommend you build your

See http://www.qth.com/ka9fox/ts850_mods.txt for some good mods, including

Check out the W1WEF parallel port interface. It works great and works with

Go to Google and do a search on "TS850 mods", then enjoy the reading.
Good luck and enjoy the rig.

Sean, although you may feel like you stepped
backwards, you actually took a big step forward
in comparing a 570 to an 850 as a contest rig.
I've had both. To connect to a pc for rig control,
there are several choices you can make. You
can build your own, or guys like W1GEE sells
them for about 40 bucks. Just do a search on
W1GEE and it will show his site. Same thing
goes for the cw keying. You can build a serial
interface with directions that usually come with
your logging software, or purchase interfaces
such as sold on the TRLog web site made by
W1WEF. There are 3 models that range from
$25 or so to around $50. In an actual contest,
I think you'll find the 850 is much better in
handling the QRM then the 570. For CW use,
I had 2 400 hz Inrad filters in mine, and it worked
well. On the antenna part, I've never used
seperate antennas for transmit and receive,
so I'm not much help there, but I have seen the
mod, so it can be done. Hang in there, because
you DID make the right decision.

Once you use your 850 in a contest, you'll wonder why you said what you said
here. This is especially true if you install good filters in both IF's.
The receive antenna mod allows you to connect seperate receive antennas.
N3OC's (nee WA3WJD) mod is excellent to do this. The single SO-239 is for
transmitting. Use an external antena switch.
For computer interfacing, you need a Kenwood IF-232C level convertor or
equivalent to change from the TTL levels on the radio to RS-232. Then, it's
equivalent to the 570 as far as computer control.
You can use a rig blaster with the 850 just like you would with the 570. You
may want to consider using a simple LPT port or serial port interface for
sending CW. They can be built for a few dollars, or you can buy them from many
sources - W1WEF makes an excellent one.
The 850 has less bells and whistles than the 570, but can out-perform it
easily. Invest in some good filters for it. If you close your eyes and
listen, you won't be able to tell you're not using one of the latest
multi-kilobuck radios.

Does anyone but me find it annoying that we have to purchase
software that should be furnished free by the ARRL? The League
foisted the Cabrillo requirements on us without much input from
the membership. IMO, the League should buy the tools from WT4I
at some reasonable price and distribute them free to anyone who

Message-ID: <721D3436A7C2B344A301FD4A413C71A92993CC@kosh.ARRLHQ.ORG>
After many years of service, were are retiring our old style landscape-format
(horizontal) certificates and replacing them with sleek, sharp portrait-style
(vertical) designs. The changeover has meant delivery delays, however.
To those awaiting certificates for several ARRL-sponsored operating events,
please stand by. The basic artwork has been approved, and the Graphics
Department is hard at work tweaking the final design and layout for the
certificates.
We anticipate having the new certificates on hand, ready for labeling and
mailing by the Contest Branch by mid-October. The new-style certificates will
be used for all ARRL-sponsored HF and international events starting with the
certificates for the 2001 ARRL 160 Meter Contest. New VHF/UHF certificates will
debut with the 2002 June VHF QSO party. New ARRL November Sweepstakes
certificates will be issued for the first time for the 2002 events.
In addition to the new certificates, we are also replacing the old-style ARRL
June VHF QSO Party plaque with a more modern design. The artwork was selected
from dozens of photos submitted by members and will feature a spectacular
mountain sunrise from a rover's perspective. The new June plaques also are
expected to be available by mid-fall.
Thanks for your patience. If you have questions, please contact me at
n1nd@arrl.org or at 860-594-0232.

I think that log checking is a huge volunteer effort. Common standard
format log files help the volunteers. This is the reason for the
Cabrillo file requirement. Should ARRL, in other words its members,
pay for this or should the contesters bear some cost in making the log
checking easy? On the surface, it seems to me that the contesters
should bear the burden of making the volunteers' job easier.
The one argument that can be made against such a requirement, is that
it makes it harder for a casual contester to participate *and* send in
the logs. This is somewhat ameliorated by the fact that most
electronic log programs generate some form of Cabrillo logs, and ARRL
does not require Cabrillo format submission for contesters who log on
paper.
Just another opinion.

Rajiv, N2RD

Here are my comments:
WT4I Tools software is not required in in order to create a Cabrillo
compliant log. That is the responsibility of the contest participant, and
most if not all of us, depend on our logging software - TR, WL, CT, etc. - to
generate the Cabrillo format correctly. WT4I Tools is an optional aide to be
used in ensuring, but only to a degree, that contact information is logged
correctly.
The contest sponsors, in this case the ARRL, has established - with the help
of very accomplished contesters - a standard format in which logs should be
submitted. That is Cabrillo. The benefit, of course, in having such a
standardized format is in the efficiency gained by automating the processing
of hundreds or thousands of logs.
You are questioning why the ARRL does not provide free of charge to the
contest community the WT4I Tools software. Your argument seems to be that
the League has adopted the Cabrillo standard and, therefore, should provide
software to edit the content of a Cabrillo file. Following that logic, you
could also argue that the League should provide free of charge the contest
logging software - TR, WL, CT, etc.- that generates the Cabrillo files.
Carrying the thread further - why not have the League provide free of charge
the equipment required to operate the contests to provide the contacts to
capture in the software to generate logs in the standardized format? (...she
swallowed a fly...). I think that you can begin to see the ridiculousness of
this logic.
Here is the Bottom Line in my way of thinking: The contest sponsor has the
responsibility of setting the rules (and standards) of the contest,
advertising the contest, evaluating and publicizing the results and awarding
the prizes. Everything else - including all costs of participation and
compliance with the rules - are are the responsibility of the contestants.
IMHO.

Checkout N6TR's website at http://n6tr.jzap.com/850repair.html .
It has alot of useful info on mods/repairs etc... Gee if guys like
N6TR, K6LL, etc.. are using TS-850 's that can't be all that bad.
Also, MFJ makes a computer interface cable (MFJ-5383) that's alot
cheaper then the Kenwood RS-232 interface box. I think it costs around
$20. I have had an 850 for years - with both the 1st/2nd IF CW filters
and it has worked great !!! I have only used a 570 one time (at W4AN's)
for CQ WPX CW so don't have much experience with it. Have fun....

In a word, yes.
Did you find it annoying that back in The Old Days[tm] the ARRL
required you to use offical ARRL contest summary sheets and log sheets
and to submit an Op Aid 6 dupe sheet with your log?
Did you find it annoying that you had to send an SASE to Newington to
request copies of these official forms?
Did you find it annoying that the ARRL didn't provide postage-paid
envelopes for you to submit your contest logs?
Did you find it annoying that the ARRL didn't provide you with a
voucher to use at Kinko's to make copies of your logs?
Did you find it annoying that the post office charged you extra money
if you wanted to send your log via certified mail with return receipt
requested?
Now ask yourself all those same questions and substitute CQ for ARRL.
Now consider a budget for paper log submission, rounding off to whole
dollars to make things easy:
$1 SASE snail mailed to Newington to request forms
$1 Kinko's charge before the contest for copying one blank
summary sheet, the blank Op Aid 6 (two sides), and 10 blank
log sheets
$1 Kinko's charge after the contest for copying one prepared
summary sheet, the used Op Aid 6 (two sides), and 10 used
log sheets
$1 Log packet snail mailed to Newington
$4 Certified mail with return receipt (optional)
$??? Cost of your personal time, wear and tear on your car, etc
So using paper logs it's gonna cost you about $3-4 out of pocket every
time you get on and operate a contest and work 500 guys, unless you
splurge and send it certified USPS. Or you can send it in a FedEx
overnight letter for $10.
You can buy WT4I's Cabrillo Converter for $20, or you can download and
use KA5WSS's LogConv program for FREE.
I didn't include in the budget the cost of radios, amplifiers,
feedlines, antennas, headphones, power strips, ground rods, a desk for
your shack, a chair, a lamp, electricity, logging software, nor the
ISP charges you would spend submitting your log (or writing messages
to cq-contest!) because you have already paid for these things whether
or not your submit a log. You break even on a $20 Cabrillo converter
after about six contests. LogConv is a spectacular deal for the
price.
There is nothing new under the sun. The bottom line is that for
30/40/50? years there have been established procedures for submitting
contest logs. Today in 2002 there are still established procedures
for submitting contest logs -- only the details have changed.
A few years ago I predicted that "10 years from now people will look
back and laugh at all moaning that took place as contest log submittal
procedures were revised to include electronic logs."
Today I have a new prediction: "We will not have to wait 10 years."

I can only echo most comments sent so far plus:
though we use FT-1000D, FT1000MPs here, we always use a TS-850 in one of the

The 850 is an excellent contest rig and much more simple to operate when you
don't need all the bells and whistles the other rigs have.

The burning question in my mind is, since we
know you have a computer, I'm assuming you
are using a pc to log with. What program are
you using that doesn't create a Cabrillo file for
you? I've used CT. It does. I now use TRLog,
it does. WriteLog I'm fairly certain does. Are
you using computer logging Bill?

I think that log checking is a huge volunteer effort. Common standard
format log files help the volunteers. This is the reason for the
Cabrillo file requirement. Should ARRL, in other words its members,
pay for this or should the contesters bear some cost in making the log
checking easy? On the surface, it seems to me that the contesters
should bear the burden of making the volunteers' job easier.
The one argument that can be made against such a requirement, is that
it makes it harder for a casual contester to participate *and* send in
the logs. This is somewhat ameliorated by the fact that most
electronic log programs generate some form of Cabrillo logs, and ARRL
does not require Cabrillo format submission for contesters who log on
paper.
Just another opinion.

Rajiv, N2RD

Bill,
N5KO developed Cabrillo at the request of the ARRL with the input from just
about every major developer of contest software. These people are the ones
who have the experience with to contribute to the specification.
I'm amazed the anyone would gripe about the cost or availability of
programs to submit Cabrillo logs. All of the major programs support it
now, with upgrades available for free or nominal cost. If you really
insist on using a ten year old version of your logging program, tools such
as the KA5WSS (available free, I think) or WT4I tools don't cost all that much.
The ARRL really needed to embrace electronic log submittal in order to get
their contest operations under control with regards to support costs and
turnaround. The alternatives would be higher dues or fewer contests. I'm
sure the ARRL directors would not support the former, and I for one would
regret the latter.

Yeah, but there are lots more contests out there than the CQ and

I suppose maybe not in all cases but...

I would imagine WriteLog can handle about

Pardon if this seems like too simple a question, but are there sources of
information as to how log checking is actually accomplished?
The Cabrillo thread actually prompted my thought.
Based on submitting in that format, is there a "magical" way to merge every
log and then determine who has contacted who, and which are and are not
valid? In other words, have the machines check logs, instead of humans (the
old fashioned way)?

So Does NA and CT There is also a took (software ) to convert old
versions of CT logs into .adi ADIF format for input into most logging
programs. I use LOGGER Because its free and does all I need.

Dear contesters,
The Romanian Amateur Radio Federation (FRR) has the honour to invite the
radio amateurs all over the world to participate in the International
Short Wave Championship of Romania (YO DX HF Contest) which is held on
the last weekend of August every year. The objective of the contest is
to establish as many contacts as possible between radio amateurs around
the world and radio amateurs in Romania. Any SSB or CW is allowed, but
YO counties count as multipliers in addidion to the DXCC entities.
Pay attention! The rules have been changed. The most significant
difference is data sent by NON-YO hams (serial #) and contest multiplier
(no ITU zones, but DXCC entities plus YO counties).
The rules can be read here:
http://www.qsl.net/yo3kaa/contests/yodx_eng.htm
RCKLog (by DL4RCK) is ready for the YO DX HF Contest for YO and NON-YO
stations. It can be downloaded from DL4RCK homepage
http://www.rcklog.de.
Another electronic log could be DL5MHR YO Contesting packagage:

The MFJ interface was almost $40, not $20. However, the point is moot -

For what its worth.
We took 2 rigs on a contest-pedition 2 years ago, an 850 and a 570.
The bad news was the 850 went QRT. The worse news was we had to use the 570.
It sucked.
The next year I went on another contest-pedition with the same 850 and a
TS120 backup. The 850 stayed alive and boy was it great.

No, but MMTTY does, is free, and outputs a Cabrillo log.

Cabrillo allows, in simple terms, two major things (at least in the ARRL
case).
1) Logs can be checked for format as they are submitted by an email
robot and if accepted put into CM (configuration management, version
control).
2) A common format for the log checkers and sponsors to work with.
An effective item 1, really helps item 2.
There is no "magic" involved in log checking. One may think that the
machines are doing the checking but the reality is (the same as it is
with any computer product) that the machine is only as good as the
person(s) who programmed it (and created the requirements for the
programming). The computer just runs programs. People create the
programs and requirements. The computer just does the boring part more
effectively/efficiently/consistently than a human.
There are various methods used by each sponsor and even each contest to
check logs. K8CC and I have been checking the ARRL 10m/160m logs for
several years now. I can tell you that cabrillo has been a HUGE benefit
to the process (along with the robot to accept logs). We used to spend
weeks getting logs into a format that was useable by us... now it takes
just hours. There are still some that slip through the cracks and need
repair but each year gets better and better as contesters are more aware
of what they are submitting and the robot gets better at catching errors
in format before accepting the logs.
Cabrillo is just a specification of a format. It is not cabrillo so
much that is making things easier as it is having a specification and
being able to enforce it. I'm glad to see the ARRL and other sponsors
backing a standard, which happens to be cabrillo.
I think if you want an explanation on "how" logs are checked (in any
detail), it would be more appropriate for you to ask the contest
sponsors.

My twopence or is it 2 cents worth. The 570 is a nice rig. I've used it on
several DXpeditions with great success BUT I agree that it doesn't quite
come up to snuff as a serious contest rig. Why? Well for my money, it's
because the filtering isn't good enough. In the 570 the DSP is at audio
frequency rather than at I/F as in the 870 and you can only add xtal
filtering in the 8 MHz I/F which means the shape factor isn't too
impressive. With the low cost ceramic filtering it uses nearer the front
end it may be prone to overload, though in practice I haven't noticed a
problem there.
That aside the 570 is a good radio for most uses and it has some nice
features.

Main problem is AGC pumping and selectivity.
In a contest, you're always going to have QRM.
The ability to copy a signal thru the QRM in an
850 is much better, at least in my experiences,
then the 570.

MFJ might not make the computer interface cable anymore but you can
still buy them. If you check the HRO online catalog they sell the the
MFJ 5383K (The "K" is for Kenwood) interface cable for $49.95. They
also list it as being in stock.

Dennis et al,
My 2 cents worth on the 570:
I have used a 570DG as a second rig for several years. It has some great
features: easy to use, light weight, dsp, etc. It major shortcoming as a
contest radio is that the agc passband is much wider than the digital filter
passband, so that you can have a weak signal wiped out by adjacent strong
signals that you don't actually hear, but that are pumping the agc to
desensitize the receiver. This is more of a problem on cw than on phone,
and is true even if you add the optional 500 Hz cw filter to the radio. The
agc is not defeatable (although there is a web site by a Kenwood engineer
describing some hardware mods to do that).
I once tried running sprint cw just using the 570, and vowed never again.

I have never used a TS570 - but my biggest complaint is that the early
rigs had some really bad issues with sending CW and having the network
going at the same time. It seemed that any network activity (over the
radio interface) messed up the CW. I think Kenwood fixed this problem -
but I really don't know. They never did any kind of communication about
it (that I heard of) and that really makes me uncomfortable.

Message-ID: <20020829155822.GB19188@kkn.net>
Dear Contesters,
As has already been reported - the ARRL DX CW Results have been pulled from
the web site - just one day after being posted. This is due to a process
problem that was discovered when some of you saw the results. In short,
none of the duplicate QSOs in the logs were removed - and counted as good
QSOs.
Obviously, this could have an impact to the final standings, so we are
going to fix the problem, recompute the scores and repost the corrected
results as soon as possible (probably later next week).
We apologize for the delay.
The CW results in QST have already been printed. However, the .PDF version
of QST on the web will be corrected at a later date. The SSB results will
be fixed before they are published.
This programming error was a result of adding new functionality to the log
checking program to better detect infractions of the band change rule for
multi-one and multi-two entrants. In the future, we will put a process into
place to do a reality check on the numbers before the results are published.
This should detect this kind of problem in the future.

Bill K6KM
Well, the cheapest and most effective method I've ever found is to
make them yourself.
Cut about a 6" length of the 1/2" hard line, and visit your local
hardware store. Also,
take along a barrel connector.
You will find they have brass compression fittings which will allow
the fitting to be
securely mounted to the hard line, along with a "step up" on the other
end which is almost a perfect match for the barrel.
Just place the compression ring on the hard line, ( be sure you put
the compressor fitting on first ), then bare the center wire so it
will be about .75" into the brass fitting. You can now either file off
the threads on the barrel connector, (or drill out the brass fitting
with a 1/2" drill down to the point where the inner housing begins to
expand ) and you will find perfect fit. A little no-alox on the
center wire, and fit the barrel down into the unit. You can now make a
very neat solder around the barrel fitting. A little more no-alox on
the aluminum shield, especially under the position where the
compression ring will come to rest, and tighten it down.
Helps if you have a dremal tool with a circular carbide blade to cut
through the aluminum to expose the center conductor, then slit the
aluminum from the cut to the coax end. Remove the outer shield and
then slice away the insulation back about .75" from the end. Gasoline
works great on a rag to remove that sticky stuff.
It has literally taken longer to write this than to make the actual
fitting.
As to performance, I tested several connectors up to about 200 mHz for
loss and found it was practically non existent. When I first started
using this method, I made up 2 short connects, put coax seal and tape
on one, and hung them with the coax end up on a fence for a little
more than a year. Then, took them apart, and honestly could not find
any difference in the appearance of the 2.
Short and sweet, Ace is the place for the ....

Hi everybody,
For those interested to enter the YODXHF Contest this week-end using TR-log, I
am attaching below, the new logcfg.dat as per new contest rules (two main
changes: non-YO will transmit serial # and the multiplier is given by the sum
of DXCC entities + YO counties).
Note: there is still a weak point: QSO within own country should be zero points
(credited for multiplier only), but the program gives 2 points/QSO. I suggest
manual editing, since I don?t expect that anyone would be too interested in
QSO?s with his own country.
Good luck and see you in the contest!

Message-ID: <1030646196016752@lycos.it>
Hello All
This is IK4VYX (Fabrizio)
I'm here to announce a new feature of my DXTelnet software package.
If you've never heard about it, DXTelnet can monitor dx spots from a variety of
sources,
simultaneously: Packet radio, Telnet (more than 50 nodes listed), IRC (the CQDX
node),
Web (the popular dxsummit web-cluster).
One of the nice things is that you can set your own, customized, spot filters.
Filters are accessible from the "Configuration" > "Filters" top menu.
One of the filters is called "Select spots by word".
If you set this filter, say, to:
AF,AN,AS,EU,NA,OC,SA,IOTA,ISL,ISL.,ISLAND
DXTelnet will select only Iota spots.
This could be useful for Iota contest purposes or for specific Iota needs.
Of course this filter can be customized for any specific contesting/DX need.
In addition, DXTelnet can feed almost any existing log/contesting software with
the
(filtered) spots it receives.
Please check
http://www.geocities.com/onlydx/article_e.htm
to find out how to link your log/contesting software to DXTelnet.
DXTelnet latest version (5.1) can be downloaded from:
http://www.qsl.net/wd4ngb/telnet.htm
Thanks for your attention.
Best (((73))) de Fabrizio (IK4VYX)

I have a TS-57SDG - The problem Tree mentions is not apparent in this
particular radio.
Trying to use it in a contest is a challenge, at best. Strong stations do not
need to be too close to cause the AGC to pump, and you can't turn it off.
I had mine in the pick-up for quite a while and it was a fb mobile rig,
although it is a bit large. I replaced it with a new IC-706 a few months ago,
and WAY prefer the 570.
The 706's digital remnants are extremely distracting on cw, but it isn't a
bad SSB rig, and it's SMALL. Another not cool contesting radio.
If you're into ham radio in general the TS-570 is a nice radio. If contesting
is your game best check out something else. Of course if your not into
contesting you're probably not reading this reflector.

The number of entries for this year's IOTA Contest is already an all-time
high, but there is still time to send in your log if you have not already
done so. The official deadline is 1st September. e-mail logs go to
iota.logs@rsgbhfcc.org or to hf.contests@rsgb.org.uk These are the only
addresses that work, although I am aware that some other e-mail addresses
have been published in various sources. All entrants should have received an
acknowledgement, automatic from the iota.logs address or manual from the
hf.contests address. If you have not received an acknowledgement, then
please try again.
About a week after the deadline we will put a list of claimed scores, with
category on the RSGB HF Contests Committee Web page (www.rsgbhfcc.org) and
would encourage entrants to check that we have all your details correct. We
will also be putting Soapbox comments and some photographs on the Web at the
same time.

Just what I was looking for. A little slicker than my version. Just one
caveat. Stations within your own country come up with 2 points rather than
zero. That appears to be the only editing needed to make it play 100%.

Does anybody have opinions on the performance of the FT-920 as a
contesting/DXing rig? It looks like a lot of bang for the buck, but I have not
had the opportunity to use one in person yet. What kind of experience does the
contesting community have with the 920? I am particularly interested in
hearing how the radio performs on CW with QSK enabled. How does the receiver
stack up? Can you live with only having one IF to put (INRAD) filters in? How
good is the voice quality of the voice keyer? Is the audio DSP useful?
Opinions good and bad are equally welcome.

Dennis Younker NE6I brings up a valid question.
> Lots of people yakking about the 570 not being up to snuff as a contest rig.
> Oddly, no details are being presented. Anyone care to detail?
Two years ago, almost to this week, my house (not the antennas) were struck
my lightning and it took out an IC751A and TS870. I purchased another TS870
and borrowed a 570 so I could run my normal SO2R RTTY thing for CQWW RTTY.
The '570 has a couple of problems when it comes to contesting. First off, it
has a 250 hz filter in the FSK position, but I'm not sure where this filter
could
be because if someone parks next to you with a strong signal, the AGC goes
way up and you can't copy squat. So the narrow filtering is probably not in
the IF section. This is the 570's biggest problem when contesting.
The next big problem for RTTY is that the radio does not give a RTTY
sidetone when used in the FSK position. But that had nothing to do with W2UP
whooping my butt that year.
It's great for a "holiday" rig, but not a good contesting radio.
You probably couldn't give me one because I have an FT757GX/II in the closet
that probably works better and is 10 years older.
FWIW... opinions are like ... well you know.

Thanks Fab,
I've been using DXTelnet several years with WriteLog. For RTTY contesting,
all you have to do is put into the filter the word "RTTY" and only RTTY spots
will be sent to WriteLog during the contests. It's nothing short of great.
For information on how to run DXTelnet over a LAN with WriteLog, check
out www.geocities.com/writelog/. For those contests that allow packetcluster
spots, DXTelnet is the BEST!

Seems like the "survery says" the 850 definitely outshines the 570 at least
as far as CW contesting goes.
Could I humor those of you who have used both to compare the TS-850 vs. the

Quack approach
Very similar to above, I take the piece of 1/2 hard line to the same
hardware and buy a nipple that fits over the 1/2 line on one end and fits
the base of a SO239 on the other end.
Slot the end of the nipple that will go over the 1/2 in line and move it
back about 2 inches. Expose about 1/8" of the center conductor of the
hdline. Solder it to the center of the SO 239. To make the connector look
a bit better I have ground down the portion of the SO 239 that has the
mounting holes. Put some no-lox on the
aluminum and Slide the Nipple fwd to contact the base of the SO 239 and
solder at the sholder on the connector then put a worm clamp around at the
Slit that was cut in the nipple.
I have covered the whole thing with RTV and applied tape while the RTV is
still stickey. I use this connector on almost all of my antenna's and SO
FAR No problem.

Thanks for your comments, Don.
You got the exact the meaning of my message: that filter can be tailored
for different needs.
RTTY is one, not to say about SSTV, QSP, PSK, FSK and many others.
During a contest, this filter makes multiplier detection easier.
About WriteLog I am going to post a specific article on the
WriteLog's reflector which describes a new link way
between writeLog and DXTelnet.
That is discussed in
http://www.geocities.com/onlydx/article_e.htm
It uses WriteLog TCP/IP connectivity, instead of the dedicated
dxt2wl application.
Same method applies, say, to CTWIN.
Bye for now.

Many contesters and DXers have recommended the TS-850 to me as one of the
best deals in its price range, so I bought one a couple months ago. I've
been more than happy with it so far. The receiver is outstanding.
To me, any radio that has no tubes in it is not "stone age". :-) I grew
up contesting with S-lines, Heathkits, Drake R4B/T4XB, etc. With those,
even if you didn't get the "warm glow of victory", you at least had the
warm glow of the rigs!

_________________________________________________________
IMO, the TS-870 has an even better receiver. On my '850, a very
strong station (40 over 9) very close in frequency could be heard
weakly - leakage around the filter. On my '870 there is no
leakage at all.
The only thing the '870 needs to make it perfect is the ability
to choose 50 Hz bandpass on SSB. Then PSK31 could truly come
into its own as a DX mode.
Sigh.

Message-ID: <000b01c2508e$a00ed560$0100a8c0@joe>
All this talk of the TS 570 vs. TS 850 (not even a contest in my book, in
favour of the 850) raises a wider question: are ANY of Kenwood's current
production radios competition grade?
At the risk of inflaming die-hard Kenwood fans, my guess is no. The 870 got
bad reviews on its IF DSP (basically high cut in one IF and low cut in
another IF) that lets signals into the AGC loop even if the second IF
filtering eliminates them. (Similar beef as with the 570.) The last I read
(please, correct me if I'm wrong), you could not install analog filters, or
if you could, you could only install one. Choose wisely, I guess.
The TS 2000 is very neat, but does it count as competition grade? Maybe if
you're into satellite, but I have to think all that frequency agility must
have a price somewhere.
And we know where the contest community stands on the 570.
The 950 is a very nice radio, but it's not made anymore.
Don't get me wrong. I love my 850. But did Kenwood start turning its back on
contesters after the 850? Or was it after the 940?

Quack note on TS 870
I have used the TS 870 for several years and the only problem I have is
when band is loaded with strong signals , HOWEVER that said. Thats why
Rx's have a control call RF Gain. By reducing RF gain I can copy weak
signals that might be covered by ajacent strong signals. Reports on TX
audio are excellent and I like the ability to control the Pass band of both
TX and RX audio. My only complaint on CW filtering is there is a
MAX band width of 1000 Hz. ( under slow cndx it can be desirable to have
this wider.)

It's possible this might be a problem on SSB or CW using the
'870, but I use mine mostly on RTTY and I've never noticed an AGC
problem with it.
I suspect from comments I've heard over the years the '870 might
not be the best choice for SSB/CW contesting, but for RTTY I
can't imagine anything better. If there is, I'd like to try one
out. :-)

Kelly,
I think that the 940 was the last truly competitive radio from
Kenwood.
I don't know what happened, but the folks at Kenwood have not
been keeping up. There has to have been some sort of decision
made to not go after that market. I don't understand it. They also
have rigs available in Japan that are not sold here. The solid
state TL-933 amplifier is an example.
Why they have decided to bow out is a mystery to me. I have
a TS-940S/AT vintage 1987. I have been looking for a replacement
and the Icom 756 ProII is a front runner. It would be nice if Kenwood
had anything that could compare.
My opinion only, YMMV!

Quack's
I use a TS870 and on cw I recieve on Lower side most of the time. Many,
Many stations call on the low side ?? as much as 2 khz low, and this is not
just in contest?? On SSB they seem to do the same when I'm on USB. I think
that it is because most tune from the bottom up and when they have good copy
they stop before getting on the TX freq? I find that I set RIT down about
300 hz and have much better tone for my old ears. On SSB there is no cure.
Many do call off freq but most of the time there is no need to retune to
copy them.
