Good day, all: Success running TRLog in a real contest, booting from a floppy and running TRLog from a USB stick. This should work fine with CT as well. And, if you don't have a floppy available, you
Good evening, all: If you have a floppy disk drive, two blank floppy disks, and an internet connection, you can find out if your computer BIOS will boot DOS and allow you to run CT or TR from a USB s
Good morning, all: Mal, N7MAL, mentioned to me a much easier way to create a bootable DOS CD. If you have Roxio Easy CD Creator (which I have pre-installed) on my Dell laptop computer (I have Version
Good afternoon, all: I have a computer which, when I boot DOS, does not see the USB stick plugged into the computer. Thanks to Patrick, PA5AEI, I now have the USB stick running under DOS. I'm actuall
Good day, all: I have succeeded in generating the first version of a DOS CD containing CT10. This CD will boot DOS on almost any modern computer. If your BIOS does not enable DOS to recognize a USB s
Hi Mal et al: I thought part 97 explicitely allowed anybody to do anything in an emergency. Oddly enough, however, part 97 applies only to an amateur radio station: 97.403/97.405 (a) No provision of
Good afternoon, all: Has anyone tried installing TWO DVP's in a single computer under DOS? This would be for use with TRLog and CT. Only one DVP would be used at a time. It looks like I can change th
Hi all: Actually, I tend to use: DX: TU ME: KD4D (or whatever) DX: KD4D 59936 ME: CALL? DX: PJ2M ME: 5nn5 DX: TU If he doesn't ID, I call him again and do the same thing. Usually, I get an ID. If I s
Hi Kelly: Like everything else, I think this varies. If I'm operating at a Multi-Multi, I probably will stop and try to get a callsign, especially if I think the station is a multiplier and it's late
Hi Chuck and everyone else: I agree with just about everything except the conclusion. Let's keep unassisted for those of us that enjoy finding our own mults in some contests. The cheating problems se
Hi Vladimir: Exactly. When you are running, people who are tuning the band are likely to tune across you in the middle of a CQ. This is why I've recently pretty much changed from: TEST CALL CALL (or
Hi Scott: What do you mean by "PTT Control of CW?" How does it differ from "Non-break-in CW?" I think we are all talking about two or three different things. :-) EVERY station I guest operate at uses
Hi all: I've operated at this station! :-) I had to hit the foot switch to send with the paddle. The computers generated PTT for automatic messages and the radios were set up with VOX turned off. Now
Hi Doug and everyone: SO2R, single-band isn't that uncommon. I've done it twice. The big M/M stations, at least, are set up so they can operate two radios on one band AND hear when the other station
Hi Brett: Try SHIFT KEY ENABLE = FALSE I probably couldn't use TR Log without this setting. 73, Mark, KD4D [...] _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@con
Hi Pete: Doing serious SO2R, I swap roles every band change for the run radio. I find a frequency on the second radio and just start CQ'ing there. Often, I'm using manual tune amps which also pretty
Hi Pete: First match on "ICE FILTER TRANSFORMER" was Array Solutions. This page lists two UNUN's for 50 to 75 Ohm: http://www.arraysolutions.com/pricelist.htm You can also see http://www.arraysolutio
Hi all: I saw this too...random things filled in for the category and not the section on stations that had not been previously worked. I was operating SSB. Seemed to happen more late in Field Day tha
Hello, All: This was happening to me on stations that HAD NOT been worked before and were not in the log. Only the category was entered...the section stayed blank. Weird... Mark _____________________
