I have released CT10 placed it on www.k1ea.com ** Release 10.txt ** Release 10.0 - 1 Jan 2004 This is a major release because the binary format of the .bin files has changed. The record now has an ex
Does anybody know if this is repeatable? IE, if you press the space bar and it fills in something bogus, if you delete the bogus info and try again does it fill in the same bad stuff? Also, if you wo
From my end, this is easy. Getting authors of the various PacketCluster replacement packages to do something together is another stroy. - Ken _______________________________________________ CQ-Contes

X-QSO indicates the qso doesn't count for my log, but may be used for checking the other guy's log. It works that way in CQWW-CW, CQWW-SSB, CQWW-RTTY, CQWW-WPX-CW, CQWW-WPX-SSB, CQWW-WPX-RTTY, ARRL-R
Jim right of course -- the exception being the old Alphas with Pi-L outputs. At the the old K1AR M2 we ran from my house we used a lot of stubs because we only had two towers. Stubs made with hard li
"*Yes, a very good move. But when we're talking stubs for harmonic suppression, we must measure that coupling at the frequency of the harmonic.*" Jim is correct. By measuring the coupling of 10 into
I put exciter power band pass filters between the exciter and the amp. They also get rid of some broadband noise and the TX IF cross talk. When we first set up our M2 with IC781s they heard each othe
As a log checker myself, I know it is important to get the right call district. AD1C does a very good job in cty.dat, putting stations in the correct district, but sometimes we have to resort to the
*Autospot*: Early in the life of CT, it allowed the operator to spot everything he worked S&P without seeing the incoming spots. This is when we had "too few" spots on the network. Now there are more
PV8ADI sent "RR" for the first 76 contacts, then switched to KW. Maybe he had a configuration problem in his software or keyer? His log file shows 1000 as the sent power for all qsos. The file also l
Use X-QSO. The qso will be cross checked but does not affect your score. He keeps his qso unless he made a mistake. Ken, K1EA _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list C
The ARRL prefers RY or DG for each QSO. The totals are in your log checking report. Here is a snippet of one. * 178180 Claimed score 166750 Final score* * 6.4% Score reduction 4.0% Error rate based o
Dr DX was a lot of fun, but it could be gamed. Set your keyer speed to 100 wpm and CQ <your call> the instant it starts sending you a report. I consistently went over 500 qsos per hour. I don't know
The biggest contest so far had over 4,500,000 qsos (CQWW CW 2019). WWROF stepped up a few years back and provided a hefty machine with 32 cores and 256GB of memory to get the job done. It is located
Automatic spotting by unassisted stations has been around for 30 years when CT implemented it. CT and almost all modern logging software does not allow unassisted users to see or use any cluster spot
In the late 80's I started experimenting with an ad hoc network of VHF digipeaters to pass multiplier announcements around New England. I worked with K1AJ, K1GQ, KB1H, K1TTT, K2TR and a few others, b
I just checked the latest DX-Rules.pdf (arrl.org) <https://contests.arrl.org/ContestRules/DX-Rules.pdf>. It contains this line in the Prohibited Conduct section. *PROH.4. Spotting your own station ("
The big variable is your callsign when calling CQ. K0OOO is a high duty cycle call, but EE5E is low. - K1EA _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesti
I hope none of you get a 44 or 46 call. _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest
