Ionosphere was also not in your favor! R33 CW signals were barely above noise level. Skimmer detected only one in five hours. Great ops! I wish you better luck in two years. 73 de Mario, S56A _______
It has been 10 years since I established SCC RTTY contest with worldwide internet rules support. Please find my modest contribution as N1MM Logger history file s56asccry.txt at the address: http://gr
Further tech improvements on Blind Skimmer should include new hardware device generating smoke signals in the rhythm of dots and dashes! I am sure CQ WW Directors follow this path of advancement whil
Great piece of software, exactly what I need in two weeks time! However, N1MM Logger slows down with a lot of DX spots. I hope it will survive AGAIN. 73 de Mario, S56A _______________________________
I am sure that proper Doug of April 1st fame expects me to state that my 1990 DSP robot achieved 80% correct callsigns when I was wining EU twice with 60% of pile-up! 200+ CW QSO followed in ARRL DX
DC in my favoured EU contest stands for DX and I see no reason whatsoever to limit my CW activity! Recommendations are a nice tool for out of touch bureaucrats. 73 de Mario, S56A, N1YU in WAE since 1
Multiop in these days of abundant radios should differ in second TX being mults only (MS) or run everybody (M2). MM can run on all 6 bands as soon as sunspots appear. Log massaging seems to be popula
K1TTT: Write a zero in the points column on your paper log? Write a zero in the last Cabrillo (TX) column, if it is not already there 73 de Mario, S56A, N1YU, surely above 7030 kHz in WAEDC CW! _____
Last IOTA weekend I operated mixed after a long time and on SSB asked a friend I work often on CW/RTTY to spot me CQ-ing and felt bad afterwards! I also feel bad about EU VHF habit of self spotting e
CW QSOs are accepted across all bands, except within beacon segments. (Recommendation DV05_C4_Rec_13) Contest activity shall not take place on the 10, 18 and 24 MHz bands. Non-contesting radio amateu
K8MR made an interesting proposal for prevention of spectrum waste using internet CQ frequency assignments. I learnt at early BBS discussions that radio spectrum is NOT preserved for the future by NO
I am straight happily using WinXP and N1MM Logger for a long time. I operated E7HQ with obligatory Wintest and just downloaded demo version. I am surprised with some commands like: clock, time shift,
I tested Skimmer in EUHFC and intend to use it again in WAE mainly above 7030 kHz :-) Mine is 455 kHz IF SDR similar to DH1TW design but covering both FT-1000MP RX. Considering only 20 kHz passband a
I was upset by CLOCK example in the manual which showed time change from 11:50 to 12:00. I thought it was tweaking 11:59 to proper start :-( However, the main reason I wrote my contest program in 198
K8DD: Next will it be random drug testing to see why some ops can stay in the chair for 48 hours and others can't? There are two illegal ways to survive 48 hours of schizophrenic SO2R: 1. Have a seco
I brought 8 disk with contest log to ARRL HQ in 1988 and I was told that it was the first electronic one they received. Own PC and program used since 1984. Few 8 disks later were not scored at CQ WW
Alternatively CQ WW RTTY may have a better Director :-) Bobo-san missed me twice within hundred yards while visiting Balkans. I like CW overrating over RTTY - people proud of using their brains to d
I really felt sorry for USA when EU 10m shortskip occurred in CQ WW SSB. I know that USA distances are greater than EU and I get 1 point even working ex-YU republics. However, if USA inter-state QSO
I visited last IARU R1 conference in Cavtat mainly to say hallo to my old friends KA1ZD/K1ZZ. I was amazed by the amount of "work" done there. Lot of meetings on obscure admin subjects. However, I la
