For the benefit of others, the problem was that all but one CATEGORY-**: ** lines were missing from the Cabrillo header, yet the NCJ web form reported "no Cabrillo errors". But, the form was still st
The IC-735 does not have FSK capability. RTTY transmission can only be done via AFSK through SSB. Few, if any, radios accept FSK through their CAT port. If a radio has FSK transmission capability, it
Yes, WriteLog automatically tracks On-Time and Off-Time. Both are displayed at the bottom of the Rates window. Also, you can see and edit the off-time periods with the 'Times off/on' selection on the
"QRZ message" refers to the message sent by a running station that acknowledges the QSO and invites others to call. Sometimes called the "TU/QRZ message", the "QRZ" in both cases is meant to distingu
The u2R is functionally a next generation DXD that adds USB and a WinKey. Its configuration is much more powerful and flexible, all accomplished with the MicroHAM Router software. The u2R is the perf
Here is a recent posting I made to the RTTY reflector on how I use WriteLog for RTTY contesting ... Ed W0YK This is an excellent topic, but the questions as stated below imply a much too restrictive
[Ed Muns] The FSK and PTT signals are both generated on the same COM port that you specify for FSK. The "COMM Port PTT" setting in the WriteLog Ports window should be set to 'NO' for any other ports.
There is probably not a perfect solution. You could argue that pre-contest warm-up QSOs (marked "Unclaimed") should be left in the ADIF log file so that QSL credit can be assigned in LotW or paper QS
I think WriteLog is scoring correctly. JS3 is a Call Area mult for JA Call Aarea 3. There is no JA mult in the DX or entity category. From the 2014 JARTS WW RTTY Contest Rules: Multiplier: A) Each DX
Update to the latest cty.dat and T02A will be properly recognized. Ed W0YK -- Dick W0RAA asked: During the CQ WW SSB this weekend, I worked TO2A. When I entered the contact in the log, Writelog refus
Clarification on what the contest robot does ... It does not "correct" a prefix conversion and it does not "adjust" your score. The robot simply checks for format errors referenced to the Cabrillo st
What I recall is that a certain *.dll file is needed in Windows. That's why the function works for some people and not for others. The WriteLog Help file does say that Graph only works on Windows XP
The WriteLog folks will have the definitive answer, but my understanding is 'no', as long as you are the user/operator. In the Cabrillo file creation dialogue box, you specify the callsign used. Ed W
AD6E's orignal point is being lost here. In most contests, the MS category is limited by the number of band changes in a given time period. Either no band change for 10 minutes, or a limit of 6 or 8
I have an additional usability question about the WriteLog cty.dat update utility. Why can't it just be a one-step process? Why does the user have to go through 3 steps: 1. Run the cty.dat update app
Another good learning is to access the writelog.ini file via the "Edit Writelog.ini file" item in the WriteLog Startup folder. Then you don't need to know the path. This link takes you to the operati
Yes, it functionally works but the CW timing stutters or is off in some way frequently. It is better or worse depending on other processing being done by Windows, but it will never be perfect. That's
There is no K3 menu item to choose between internal or external keying. Both are active at all times. I have a paddle connected for the internal keyer on each K3 in case the computer keying or extern
I've never had this problem with a Rttyrite window tied to the main receiver, but I can't figure out what the difference is. In your case, I guess it is the single Rttyrite window linked to the main
Both Joe and Bud mentioned commercial Y-cables for connecting multiple cables to the K3 ACC jack. Beware that not all commercial DE15 Y-cables will work in this application. Some of them are intended
