Is the DXP38 RX LED lit when you are using it with WriteLog? If not, use the DXPWin 3.0 utility to reset the DSP38 into receive mode. DXPWin can be downloaded from the Hal website. Sometimes with Wri
pFSK still keys the FSK input on the radio just like regular FSK, so the radio's FSK quality will be the same in either case. There is a potential timing issue that Joe W4TV commented on, but that ha
You've outlined many of the problems with various RTTY TX options. For me, 2Tone is unacceptable for TX and the primary RX, mainly due to the 2-3 character delay at the start of each. This is a large
That's pretty much it, in addition to using relatively low volume for the same reason of less operator fatigue over the contest period. Ed W0YK -- Ed will have a more elaborate answer ;) but in a nut
The log submittal deadline is coming up soon--next Monday, 15 December, at 2359z. If you haven't submitted yours, please do so ASAP by emailing the Cabrillo format log file to ten-rtty@kkn.net. With

How is MMTTY interfaced to WriteLog? Via the MMTTY Plug-In or via the XMMT.OCX API? You can either check and/or set the path via the WriteLog Rttyrite menus or go into writelog.ini to the [Rttyrite]

I have one for WriteLog based on 10 years of P49X RTTY RU logs. It is an ADIF file with records of two fields each: call and QTH. Ed W0YK -- Anyone have a good one they would like to share? _________
Read the RTTY Contesting column in the Jan/Feb 2015 issue of the NCJ and see if that answers your question(s). Ed W0YK __________________________________________________________ I have only seen a co
I recommend subscribing to the NCJ if you enjoy radio sport. Sent directly to you 6 times a year. To the point of the original post, an adequate response requires more than a simple reflector posting
OK, Jeff, I'll bite. I quaffed a 2011 Carmenere from Chile during the first RU practice tonight. My "inclination to enjoy" was mostly based on availability ... a very critical consideration. Ed W0YK
There are several different ways to use and manage a call sign stack. Some are easier to setup but take more keystrokes to operate while others have more involved setup with the benefit of more effic
[OK, here is the post I composed earlier today and then decided not to prolong this sad thread.] My interpretation of Joe's advice is for RTTY operators to be aware of likely operation of other digit
One of the more unfortunate creations in our great hobby is the term "LID". Having a 3-letter mnemonic to slander our fellow enthusiasts does not advance radio sport, or ham radio in general. I'd lik
In the Cabrillo header, the LOCATION: line should be your ARRL/RAC section. (Non-US/VE stations insert 'DX'.) Nunavut is in the Northern Territories RAC section, 'NT'. But the contest exchange in RTT
