Subject: CT protocol and COMTSR contd
Hi all,
Sorry for the bandwidth, but it seems there is something here ...

It seems that all we have to do is ask and things happen. Thanks Ken
for your offer of the CT and COMTSR protocols (even help and advice?).
I and I'm sure many others would appreciate the protocol here or
somewhere we can all get it (UCSD.edu?).

TCP/IP would be a nice direction to go as long as we could cram the
driver code into a TSR (or DOS device driver) without taking to
much memory or other machine resource.

Its funny you should say that. By October this year I had something
similar to that up and running for CQWW phone.
My aim is to get it to a point where the things you mention are a
reality. I don't want to write logging software, but I am interested
in _extra_ connectivity to our contesters. However, I feel that maybe
it _could_ add yet another thing that you "need" to get in the top 10.
In the original text I mentioned using IPX as an alternative to
using serial point to point messaging. Taking on board the RF
problems associated with Ethernet it _may_ be tricky, maybe there
are bridges to cross here.
But what in detail I was thinking about was the following:
(1) Build a COMTSR that has the same "hooks" _to_ CT.
(2) On the other side of the COMTSR, send an acknowledged message
along the ethernet, with the given CT network data inside it.
Now, since CT can be setup with known stations in a file (eg for
band names rather than numbers), use that as a look up table to
send the data to each station in turn. Now, since the bandwidth
for data transfer is higher, even if the stations talking retry
10 or 20 times, the data will still "probably" be instantaneous.
I'm guessing a bit here with times, but basically I'm putting
forward an acknowledged service between the CT stations, with our
"new" COMTSR doing all the hard work. I wasn't thinking about
centralising the database. In my opinion, given the way that
contest stations work, having the logs on each station is a much
more resilient solution in the event of network failure.
The ops can then still get those Q's.
I have done some reading and experiments with simple "gab" messaging
between stations using IPX up to the point of sending "mail"
items. To me it doesn't look to difficult, but then again, I haven't
written too many TSRs or device drivers.
Comments on above appreciated, (even if its to scrap to fibre as
Dave at Buffalo commented). Does anyone know any software developers how have
been here before?

You guys are going about this all wrong! Don't create a special no-net
endorsement! Instead, create the WEAN DXCC award! (Worked Everything
Assisted by Nets). All cards submitted must show a freq of 14.256,
14.160, etc. Honor Roll Plaques would be a pair of bronze baby shoes on
a walnut back!
To ensure the purity of this award, it would be required that the net
control (Master of Ceremonies, Head Cheese, His Excellence) personally
verify all the cards. This would keep him so busy we wouldn't have
any more nets, and the award would become rarer than DXCC HR.
Now I have to go home and tear up my FR5/T card...

I plan to be active in the ARRL 160 meter contest this weekend...will
be low power in the South Carolina section. However, I currently don't
have a 160m antenna up....my first thought is to put up a 1/4 wave sloper
as the easiest and probably most effective antenna as my tower
height is limited (80 ft). Another idea I have been pondering is an
inverted-L. Any other suggestions???? tnx...73, Tom

However, I have never heard any UA9 giving his zone as 16. I guess
they all want to be in Asia. I wonder when Ken will change that in

You are assuming things get to the ARRL. My Field Day entry was not published
in QST. I am highly suspicious that it got thrown on the floor somewhere on
it's way there by Internet. It also looks like my message to Lcuk Hurder at the
ARRL asking why it wasn't in QST went into the same bit bucket, as I have not
had a reply from him either.
The ARRL - and others - who accept entries by Internet should provide
confirmation e-mail back to the sender as was done with the Phone Sprint.

Saludos all,
What fun! I improved last year's score by 1M even though the multiplier
number is the same. Oh, so close to 4000 Qs. I was going great guns on
20 the last two hours when the bottom dropped out with 50 minutes to go.
I kept getting calls from ghostly weak northern EU and could only make out
a handful of them.
10 was punk from here. I worked a few EU, but not a single JA. VS6WO told
me when we worked on 15 that 10 was shut like a door.
40 played quite well. The antenna is an inverted vee, so nothing special.
80 was a surprize, even though lots of noise. I held court to a buzzing
pileup of EU and managed to pull a good number of them through for some
good zones and countries.
I had written off 160 due to a tremendous noise level, but it all went away
with 10 dB of attenuation. Just a dipole there and 100 W. I had some nice
runs of Ws, got a JA, worked P40N . Sure wish we had tried it, Trey.
When I went to 15 on Saturday morning, I'd sweare every single licensed DL
called me, usually in groups of 100 or so. And most not so strong. Sounded
like an angry bee hive, fleshed out with OK,SP,OZ,ON,OH,YO,LZ for variety.
But I was just too tired to hack it for long and went to 10. There I was
mobbed by Ws and really suffered from lack of sleep. I think I need to
plan a short nap for the first night to be able to handle the runs that
can result Sat and Sun mornings.
Station...TS-950SD, Henry 3K (BAD!!! for fast band changes!)
dipoles for 160/80/40, 205BA and Log Periodic for 20/15/10
Murphy visited Sunday afternoon and took away my rotator for 15.
Giorgi, XE1X, was a most gracious host and was really tickled to have me
give his station a workout. Look for him in the ARRL 10 Meter Test.
Thanks to all for the QSOs. Until next year! David Hodge XE1/AA6RX

Hello TS 440 owners, I have a problem that I'd like to remedy. The friction
adjust on my tuning knob suddenly went kind of haywire and doesn't adjust
smoothly from some friction to a good free spin. It seems to have some
friction now in even the softest setting. This happened while someone was
borrowing the rig so I don't know if anything unusual happened to the knob.
Before I delve in to solve this mystery I thought I'd ask if anyone has
experience in this matter. Many thanks, David Hodge XE1/AA6RX

Subject: 1987 Solar Flux Numbers
Message-ID: <9310012018.AA17657@bighorn.dr.att.com>
I spoke too soon when I volunteered to post some historical solar flux
data, if there was enough interest.
The earliest year I could easily obtain was 1987. Fortunately, 1987 was
an interesting year. The year began at the bottom of the solar cycle,
but by the end of the year, cycle 22 was well on its way. Just about the
inverse of 1993.
My recollection of CQWW Phone, 1987, was that we had a FB EU opening
on 10 meters the weekend before the contest, with a flux in the 110's.
By contest weekend, the flux was back down to the 80's, and I worked an
EA and an F.
To those of you not interested in this data, I won't waste any more cq-contest
bandwidth.

Subject: Flash -- All 58 California Counties covered!
Thanks to Larry, KJ6PJ, who generously volunteered to drive 3-4 hours
up to Sutter County, all 58 California Counties will be ON THE AIR
this weekend for the 1993 California QSO Party.
Out-of-state stations send consecutive serial number and
state/province/country. California stations send serial number and
county. Work stations on 160-2, phone and CW. Many awards available,
including wine to the top 20 finishers out of state. Full details are
in October CQ and QST, just arriving now.
CU in the contest!

Subject: Guest operation KH6 ?
Message-ID: <9310022046.AA19905@enet-gw.pa.dec.com>
CQ WW SSB - 8R1K
I thought to be 8R1K in CQ WW SSB as last year, but I won
a trip to KH6 October 22-27 and it seems impossible to get
back to 8R1 in time for the contest. I already tried YJ8
but it too seems to be too far away to get there in time.
So looking for the guest operation opportunity either in
KH6 or surroundings. Ready to bring my own equipment and
do some antenna work (up to install 2 el 40 el beam!).
M/S or M/M operations are not out of question.

PS.
Still trying to find the way to get from KH6 to 8R1 in
time and in fact I have the route Honolulu-LA-Denver-
Miami-Caracas-Trinidad-Georgetown confirmed, but it is
very tight and I am arriving 6AM Georgetown the day when
the contest starts.

I'm looking for a manual for the Butternut Butterfly 2 element beam. Will
pay for copying/postage. Does anyone who has used one of these antennas
have any advice on getting it set up and tuned?

I decided I might as well be the leader in the clubhouse....
116 X 46 97 cw 19 phone about 15K
Only 20, 40, and 80 with 100 watts to a vertical. Nice to hear
all the counties on. Had to resort to phone to make 100 Qs. Condix
seemed pretty stinky (with a vertical, condix on 20 almost always
seem stinky).
