Hello All,
Thanks for those who QSOed with me (ZZ2Z) at the ARRL CW Contest.
Conditions were very poor on 10 and 80 meters. I also had very high QRN
during the afternoons due to the rain season.
I'll send the log to ther ARRL by e-mail. Which file, from CT, do I have
to attach?
Thanks in advance.

One of those little contest moments:
I had been running a frequency on 20 meter cw in the ARRL DX Contest, when I
decided to QSY and chase packet multipliers on 15 meters. Normally I just stop
CQ'ing and disappear. But this time, I offered the frequency to the last
European I worked. I said I was going to QSY and asked if they would like the
frequency. The station came back with 88's. I was quite taken back. Wouldn't
you know my random act of kindness went to OZ7YL...a YL. We exchanged 88's and
moved on. Svatava, you made my day.
88's, 73 Steve K3SA

Hi again to the Contest group, and appreciated the helpful replies
to the above question. Yes, VKs and ZLs can operate phone up
up to 7.300 Mhz. (Listen to W3KRQ, K4JUF, K1YZW...working VK/ZLs
around 1030Z to 1200Z most days on 7.153 and above...)
My thanks for the info. Everyone agrees with split operation.
I admit that I have been disappointed in previous years, as I have to
ask from time to time- "is my frequency clear?" Also hard to protect
my listening frequency. Can't really say "pse QSY, I am listening on
this frequency! "
One reply said to listen above 7.225 to allow General Class ops to call.
Hope we are loud enough for the smaller stations to copy.
GL in the Contest, Martin ZL1ANJ.
------------------------------------------
I would say without a question: SPLIT..please. It's hard enough for
the DX to hear above 7.1 much less the NA stations...where the QRM is
+20/30 Tnx es 73 de Mike K5UO
------------------------------------------
Glad to hear you guys will be active in the up coming ARRL SSB test.
I think most stateside prefer to work split frequency because 95%
of the stations, use that mode of operation, and don't regularly tune
above 7.1 because there is very little if any activity.
Hope to cu on 5 bands-73 Mike W9RE
------------------------------------------
However, Rod, ZL's and VK's can use our phone band, they
don't have to stay below 7100. I'm sure that's why ZL1ANJ was asking
the question.
Very 73, Fred Laun, K3ZO
------------------------------------------
In the early days at V31DX we tried working US stations simplex
in the US section of the 40 meter band at, for instance 7200 or
so. We worked NOBODY! The US/VE stations are all listening
below 7100. We now try to find a relatively clear spot at 7065 plus
or minus - and try not to get pushed up into the RTTY/AMTOR section
or down below 7040 - and listen up. Note that the high end of 40 just
below 7300 is usually QRM free but most folks don't like to go that
high because their antennas are tuned lower in the band. Finding
a clear spot in the US section is occasionally a problem.... more than
once we've found what appears to be a clear frequency only to find
some other DX station is also using the same listen frequency resulting
in two pile-ups and neither DX station sure who worked who.........
It sometimes takes 2 or 3 Qs to figure out what happened - which is why
we always leave DUPES in the log and work everyone, every time.
hope this helps,
John W2NA
------------------------------------------
USA stations definitely prefer to work split freq.

Martin, Split, definitely!!

Greetings Martin. I don't even listen above 7.1 anymore when I
operate a DX contest from the states. I would suggest split operation
for sure.
--Trey, N5KO
----------------------------------------
Please work split (below 7.100) and listen above 7.200. In the ARRL DX
SSB contest most stateside stations don't listen on their own freq.
John Udvari <wb8vpa@en.com>
------------------------------------------
When working split frequency (or in the American phone band)
please keep one thing in mind. There are thousands and thousands
of General Class amateurs (of which I am one) who do not have
phone privileges on 40 meters below 7225 KHz. Please do not
forget us during the contest. We can squeeze in between the
powerful AM broadcast stations which are 5 KHz apart.
73 es happy contesting Garie *K8KFJ* West Virginia

Hello Martin. I prefer to work the VK/ZLs on split when I call CQ
contest on 40 SSB. In my case, I state something like "listening on
7053 and this frequency," with the DX freq first, but I do listen to
both freqs after each call.

Hello !
I have two questions for you:
1. Was I supposed to QSO with KP3Z ? I am not sure about this rule. CT
does not let me input PR in the exchange field. However, I DID QSO with
this station during ARRL contest.
2. What is the procedure for sending logs by E-mail ?
I apologise for using the bandwidth with these questions which must have
been discussed many times. Unfortunately I lost all of my old E-mail
during a major crash of my system.
Thank you for help.

P.S. Third question: how can I get in touch with list owner ? I have

Subject: THE OT7T STORY (ARRL CW 80 METERS)
Message-ID: <199702181626.RAA17252@mail.be.innet.net>
CALL: OT7T
OPERATOR: ON4UN
STATION: ON4UN
CATEGORY: 80 M HIGH POWER, SINGLE BAND
STATION: FT1000MP + 2 KW AMP
ANTENNAS: 4 SQUARE AND 1000 FT BEVERAGES
THE STORY:
Last year I took part on 40m, and I regretted it. At or near sunspot minimum
the MUF gets so low in the middle of the night, that propagation becomes
very poor even on 40m. That's why I opted for 80 meter this year. In 1995 I
set a new European record on 80 CW with 886 QSOs and 135 K-points (the
previous record was by I2UBI with 87 K points). In 1996 S50U won the
80-meter sec-tion with 105K. The target was to do better. Conditions were,
of course, my primary concern. Would they be as good as 2 years ago, or
not, or maybe even better?
I found myself a good spot on 3507 about 15 minutes before the start of the
contest.... and found myself still sitting there after my sunrise at 07:00
GMT... Like X-tal control. Or not quite. Every now and then I had, as usual,
to fight against intruders, which made me put a step "left" and "right" to
defend my territory...
The first hour was good: 118 QSOs, that is 2 per minute, not so bad for 80
meter DX. Already at 00:10 GMT, I worked Colorado (K0EU), which is like one
half hour before sunset there. Maybe we'd have a good West-Coast sunset
opening? First California station was K6SD as early as 00:30, followed by
W7GN (Ore) at 00:40 and VE7DX (00:48). The second hour brought an even
better QSO rate with 130 QSOs, and more West Coast (N7CW/6, W6NKU, W6YA,
N5KO, N6BV, K9JF/7, K7EM, K6GNX, AD6C, N6RO and W7XA), plus a lot of
Mid-West and western mid-west stations (Colo, New Mexico etc.). Great start!
This rate simply could not continue, although the third hour still brought
me 105 QSOs, with more West Coast between 02:00 and 02:30 (N7QQ, K6TQ, K6CT,
N6FF, KD6WW) and other "good" stuff, like the Delaware multiplier (W3PP),
Nebraska (K0SW), N.D. (WB0O) and New Brunswick (VE1UA). After 3 hours I had
already 46 multipliers (whow!) which is better than what I had ever dreamt off.
Between 03:00 and 04:00 the rate dropped further to 98/hour, which I still
consider as pretty respectable for 80 meters across the Atlantic. This time
slot brought a few new multipliers (N7NG in Wy and K7ET in Az), but few
"real" west coast stations (only station from California was N6AA). Most
contacts were east coast and some mid-west, and a good number of duplicates.
As a rule I never question duplicates. I just work them. After all I may
only "think" it is a duplicate. Maybe the "first" QSO was not a QSO after
all (he or me logged the call wrong?). So work'em, and log'em! But this
contest was something special. It made me -at one time- grab my QST and
re-read the rules: "were dupes additional multipli-ers???" . Not that I
could find. At a certain moment on Sunday evening, a few hours before the
end of the contest, I was called by no less than 20 stations in a 20 minute
time frame that were DUPES! One after the other was a dupe.... I was making
4 dupes for every good QSO...
Back to "good" QSOs. Between 04:00 and 05:00 93 QSOs were logged. The rate
kept up very well. The skip was, like in the past hour, into the east coast
and mid-west. The only west coast station that made it during this hour was
the super station from Glenn, K6NA.
Were we going to have a sunset boost as well? I guess you can't win them
all. During the 05:00-06:00 time frame "only" 61 stations were logged,
including 3 West Coast stations if Arizona is West Coast (K6HX plus W1XT and
W7YS). It also brought two new multipli-ers with N0OBA (KS) and W0GKE (S.D.) .
The last hour of the contest, thing died down very slowly and gently. No
sunrise lift. But two more multipliers with W7VJ (Wa) and W3HQU (D.C.).
WC6H, W6AUG and AA7AA were the only other West Coast stations that caught my
attention in this last hour before bed time.
With 54 multipliers, 643 QSOs and juts about 100 K points for the first 7
hours, that contest already was a success! If the second night is half as
good as the first one, the record should be broken.
My first QSO on Saturday evening was K3UA (Pa) at 21:18. By midnight 48
QSOs were made, all east coast of course, guys that were not on "last
night". This time I had settled on 3.510, and remained there most of the
night. On one or two occasions I called CQ for some time above 3,525, but
that seems to be a waste of time. The general class hams just don't seem to
be there!
Rate-wise, the second night would be nothing as compared to the first night,
but that does not mean conditions were worse. It's just that, once you've
worked 700 US stations on 80, you've worked a good chunk of what's available!
A very nice surprise was to work Utah (K7XB) some 30 minutes before sunset
there (00:35) as a new multiplier. Just like on Friday night there was a
definite lift in conditions during sunset on the western end on the path.
Proof were contacts with W7GG, VE7CC, KO7X (also in Utah), W6DA, K6RO, N7RT,
N6ND and N2DX (all between 00:45 and 02:00). Between 02:00 and 03:00 two
more West coast signals got through: KC7V (Az), K7GE (WA), but most stations
were from the East Coast with a fair number from states like Texas, Mo, Mn etc.
At 03:00 the rate started increasing, and during the next hour 76 QSOs were
made, with only one West Coast station though (N7FU in Wa). The next hour
this rate almost stabilised (64 Q's), but no further west coast was worked.
At exactly 05:00 I had my QSO number 1,000 in the log with already 165
K-points. Mission accomplished, but maybe we can shoot for 175 K?? That's a
nice round figure.
In the last two hours, the number of QSOs decreased further as expected..
Again, no sunrise lift. My last QSO for the second night was at 07:02 with
K0NL in Missouri.
If I wanted to make 175 K-points, there was still some work to be done. As
far as multipliers are concerned, the only US multiplier left was Idaho, and
that is a real tough one. Anyhow, as good as impossible before 00:00z. I
still needed VO2, VE4,5,6 and Yukon. Maybe one of the VE's. I remember two
years ago I worked a VE4 in the last hour of the contest.
3,510 plus - minus 3 KHz was covered by a horrendous QRM all Sunday evening
long, so I picket 3,515 as my "X-tal" frequency for the last few hours of
the contest. My first QSO was with W1QK at 21:07, but the first hour only
brought 10 QSOs. The two remaining one hour periods brought 40 QSOs in the
log. Many more stations called that were dupes. Against my general policy, I
did not log them this time. I guess everybody had worked everybody, and they
just wanted to see if they were still getting out. A nice surprise was VE5RA
for my last multiplier juts before the end of the contest.
With 1,087 QSO's, 56 multipliers and 182,616 points, this contest largely
exceeded my ex-pectations.
Over the past 4 years the score has grown from 519 QSOs in 1994, 886 QSOs
in 1996 to 1,087 (good) QSOs in 1997. What is the reason for this one could
ask. The main reason is of course the state of the sunspot cycle. But we
should not forget the very significant improvements that are being made,
year after year, in our low band antennas, and in our receivers. Four
squares are no longer exceptions, they have rather become a standard of
comparison for all well equipped stations. This also makes me think back
about my very early years on 80 meter DX, back in 1961 and 1962. In those
days working a single W6 station (per year!) was a feat! Same with working
JA's from Europe. What a change!
As a rule this was a very gentle contest. Few bad signals. The only station
I had to ask to check his signal was F5PRH who has enormous key-clicks. But
after asking 3 times, he did something (maybe he moved as I could again hear
DX-stations... Another "problem" station here in Europe was OM5DX who had
very substantial noise sidebands, and who you could hear over a very wide
frequency range.
Other interesting anecdotes are the "battle for frequency" anecdotes. Funny
was that during the first night (at 03:50), suddenly heard V51Z starting to
call CQ about 100 HZ HF on "my" 3,507 frequency which I had been on for
almots 4 hours by then. I asked him to QSY, but he kept calling CQ, while
the US stations came back to my CQs.... I had to switch the 4-square to the
south, and after having told about 5 times that the frequency was in use, he
went to look for another frequency, I suppose. Maybe the 4-square has too
much directivity.
As in just about every contest, K8CC tried during this one again to steal my
frequency (true, it happens in almost ALL contests I take part in). After
about 5 minutes he called me to apologise. K1KI found my frequency an
attractive one and called CQ 5 times, despite my telling him QRL PSE QSY de
OT7T. He went just like he came, in silence. LY1DR was the most stubborn
intruder. It took me almost 15 minutes to get him out of my pass band. Some
of these just start on what the may think (??) is a clear frequency. Some
ask QRL? and start immediately calling CQ without even listening but for one
second. A proper way, in my opinion, is to find -what looks like- a clear
frequency, send "?" listen a second, send another "?" listen one second then
send "QRL?", listen for a second and if nothing is heard, call a short CQ
"TEST YOURCALL". If by then nobody has come and told you "QRL", then you can
consider it's yours. When doing this, use 500 HZ bandwidth. It is NOT fair
to do it with 200 Hz bandwidth. Also, watch out for stations that are
working QSX. They may not even listen on their transmit frequency, and you
might "think" you found a clear one, while the station holding the frequency
was listening on another frequency, working split.
This was a really good contest. In every respect. Good west coast openings,
with excellent sunset lift, unfortunately no sunrise lift. But again, maybe
we are starting to expect too much.

Message-ID: <Pine.SOL.3.95.970218123856.13192A-100000@y.glue.umd.edu>
After years of operating contests with my trusty and venerable TS-
830-S, I saw no reason to upgrade to a more modern rig. My
operating stints at HS0ZAR using the Radio Amateur Society of
Thailand's club station with its TS-950-SDX, IC-781 and TS-930-S
had convinced me that there was nothing in the modern radios which
would help me do better in the contests.
Enter my XYL Somporn. She was tired of having W3ZZ and others tell
her that her husband was living in the past. At Japan's Ham Fair
last summer she and I chanced to sit at the same luncheon table as
Yaesu owner JF1AAA, and, in his impeccable English, he convinced
Somporn that his company made just the radio to drag K3ZO into the
modern age -- the Yaesu FT-1000-MP. So on my birthday December 9,
Somporn and I returned home from the annual PVRC Christmas dinner
to find a giant box from HRO in the kitchen, with one FT-1000-MP
inside. How she arranged to have it delivered on my birthday I
still don't know!
In the past I have always ignored instruction manuals and just did
"plug and play" with new radios. A look at this one illustrated
that things in the radio world have changed since the last time I
bought a new radio (in 1984, was it?). I didn't even attempt to
turn it on until December 24. The CQ 160 meter contest was my
chance to spend a lot of time with the radio's receiver, just
playing with different adjustments on a band filled with loud
contest signals, and I only made 50 QSO's there. Helpful
suggestions from FT-1000-MP owners W3PP and K3MM were injected into
the mix of pre-knowledge.
But the real break-in of K3ZO to the radio was in this ARRL CW DX
Contest. Many of the observations I would normally make for this
kind of story were not made because the chief op. was struggling to
understand how the new radio worked and making adjustments on the
fly. But anyway, here goes...
I ended up with a slightly higher score than last year, 200 K more,
with a few more QSO's and a few more multipliers. I started off on
40 as usual and was rewarded with a 110 hour to start. The
frequency was 7018 if I remember correctly. About the middle of
the second hour the MUF to most parts of Europe dropped below 7 MHz
so I went to 80. It was raining at the time and the SWR on the 80
meter beam was slightly higher than normal, but I found a spot
below 3510 and was able to run at a reasonable rate for 80 of 50 to
60 per hour. I was impressed that the noise levels on 40, 80, and
later 160 were nice and low. Was it conditions or was this due to
the new radio? I have concluded that it was mostly conditions --
it sure made the low bands pleasant to use in this contest.
I alternated between 80 and 160 until 0400. On 160 I could
actually hear and work some Europeans on my transmit antennas --
EI6BT and GW3YDX being the loudest -- but where were the SM's?
They are normally among the loudest but this time were nowhere to
be heard. The disturbances of the preceding week had obviously
dampened conditions to the northernmost parts of Europe.
At 0400 I went to 40 to work the Africans and South Americans.
Most of them went into the log easily, but the pile-up on ZS8IR
took 8 minutes to crack. Normally three calls per station per time
is my S&P limit before I move on, but I figured I might not get the
chance for this one again so I stuck with him. At 0445 I resumed
my alternating 80/160 pattern. Yes it was nice to have a no-tune-
up exciter for a change, but a couple of times I forgot to move the
amplifier to the new band before starting up there. At least twice
I got the station I was calling anyway! At about 0625 I went to 40
again hoping for a European sunrise opening, but, while there were
Europeans there, the opening was very spotty, so back to 80 for
another run. Finally at 0730 there was a decent European sunrise
opening on 40. Signals were not all that strong but I was getting
plenty of calls, and two 63 hours back-to-back were the result.
At 0845 I broke off the European run, looked for and found the
anticipated VK, JA and KH6 multipliers (though no ZL -- yet) and
then knocked off for my mandatory first night's sleep at 0910 with
579 QSOs in the log, well ahead of last year's pace at this time.
Back in the harness at 1127, I picked up JA, VK and KL7 mults on 80
before hitting 20 at 1150. The rain had knocked out all the line
noise and I felt I could hear everything that called. Twenty
stations went into the log in the first 10 minutes, followed by
back-to-back hours of 149 and 111 before I went to 15, which was
fair but good for only 101 QSO's between 1357 and 1523. In
retrospect, I probably spent too much time there trying to make
something happen. Experience tells me to look at 10 meters twice
daily -- once at 1400 and again at 1900. The band was dead both
times except for a forlorn W3LPL calling CQ DX. This despite the
fact that during the previous weekend I had worked 3 PA's on 10 in
the PACC contest -- this during a moment when the K index jumped to
6. At this point in the sunspot cycle the high bands can actually
be helped by ionospheric storms. But the storm this time happened
on Monday after the contest was already over.
Twenty played well enough for the next few hours. At 1900 I went
to 15 for my usual multiplier foray to the south. I checked 40 at
2010 but signals weren't strong enough, so I finally went there at
2050. Twenty stations went into the log in the first 10 minutes
followed by a 120 hour at 2100, but after 2200 I went to 20 to
catch the Asian opening -- probably a mistake as only 13 JA's and
three UA0's went into the log, and my attempts at runs -- one on
"N3RS's frequency" as it turned out -- were not successful. But I
stayed on 20 until 0012 working South Americans -- and one notable
long path QSO with RX0LWC -- and then went directly to 80 where a
nice European run on 3508 ensued. Hours of 56 and 59 were racked
up, followed by a sweep across 160 at where I picked up six more
multipliers. Then with things being sort of slow I knocked off for
an hour's sleep at 0235.
Back on the bands at 0400, I made only 109 QSO's on 40, 80 and 160
combined between then and 0720, so I knocked off again at that hour
for bed. I overslept a bit and didn't get back into the shack
until 1204. The rig had been left on 80 and I knocked off an
enormously loud VK5GN before heading for 20.
Twenty was rough. A dry wind had blown in overnight, so the line
noise was back. I got there late and it was tough to find a spot
to run in. The line noise covered up many of the W backscatter
signals, so I started runs on what must have been "someone else's"
spot several times before I realized it. I think one of them was
W1KM, who must have turned his antenna to Africa to raise his
backscatter level with me because I suddenly realized he was there
-- sorry Greg! Anyway, I was disoriented from just having woke up
and from finding the line noise, and then I discovered that the
EDSP in the FT-1000-MP really helps drag signals out of the noise
providing it's adjusted right -- in fact it is much more effective
than the noise blanker, which I don't like. From 1226 through 1500
I ran only 163 stations on 20, punctuated by a brief foray to 15
where only an enormous HZ1HZ was parked at the low and and almost
no one else on the band.
But during this time I got the EDSP working the way I wanted and
from then to the end of the contest I felt that I had finally
conquered the new machine. I also noticed that if I moved the 6-el
20 meter Telrex to 70 degrees I could null out the line noise
without recording a significant drop in the European signals, as
guaged by looking at GW3WVG on the S-meter while moving the beam
back and forth. Finally during the 1500 hour an 86 hour resulted
and I felt I was back in business. However, from 1100 to 1500 I
probably lost 200 QSO's while oversleeping and fooling around --
something to be noted for next time!
At 1810 I went back to 15 but there weren't many mutipliers left to
work although I did get a CX after N2LT coaxed him into giving his
power -- thanks Lew! As for CE3B, boy was it hard to figure out
his pile-up technique. I finally just decided to stay in one place
and not long after that I got him. His call was not CE3BUP, by the
way, but you wouldn't have known it most of the time because he
added "Up" without putting any space between the B. And when he
was saying up he was actually listening down about half the time,
taking a page out of the well-known ZL1AMO pile-up technique.
Which means, "don't do as I say, do as I do" or something like
that.
And 1856 I looked at 10, and by golly, there was LU6UO! Finally
the band was open! Three more LU's and ZD8Z went into the log
before I ended my only successful 10 meter foray of the contest at
1906. I was sorry not to have a better chance to use the FT-1000-
MP on that band -- the alternate front end that you can dial up
really makes 10 meters sound hot, but I decided that it didn't help
on the other bands, and actually reduces the gain of the front end
on 40 and 80.
After a brief return to 20, where some of the QRP callers like
IK8BIZ and DL9HCW had unbelievably loud signals -- conditions to
Europe from Germany on southward were really outstanding around
2000 -- I went to 40 at 2023 and knocked off 239 stations until
2307 when I went to 80 where 59 stations went into the log --
including two UA9's -- before the contest ended. During those last
hours on 40 and 80 I felt I finally had everything adjusted right
on the FT-1000-MP and could operate close to very loud stations
without being bothered, being able to pull even the weakest calling
stations through without much effort. No narrow filters -- only
the 2.4 Khz filters engaged on both IF's -- and with the EDSP
slotted at the "mid-cut" position, which tends to flatten out the
peak and minimize the slight tinny sound that results when the EDSP
is engaged. The RX clarifier was also engaged and moved around to
suit each caller. In this way you can copy the stations you want
without losing awareness of what is going on around you, and yet
avoid having the fatiguing sound of ringing filters in your ears.
By the way, credit the 40 meter operator at N2RM with the best "is
the frequency busy?" technique. He just sends "N2RM" once. What
a neat way to do it! He solves the ID problem and keeps things
mercifully short at the same time. Now that everyone in the USA
has a short call thanks to the vanity program this should be the
norm from now on.
Bring on the SSB contest! I already adjusted the vox in the FT-
1000-MP last night.
Very 73,
Fred Laun, K3ZO

NO ATTACHEMENTS !!!! They will not be posted !!!
THESE ARE NOT OFFICIAL SCORES!! DO NOT SEND ME ANY LOGS!!
PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY SCORES TO THE CQ-CONTEST REFLECTOR!!!!
Send scores to the 3830 reflector or to me direct.
IF I GET SCORES WITH ONLY SOAB, NO POWER OR NOTHING AS FAR AS CLASS GOES,
YOU WILL BE PUT IN UNLIMITED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These scores are put in the classes by what the person submitted them.
Please do not email me and tell me there is no such class or it should
be called something else. I only go by what the individual sends me.
If I only get Single/OP and nothing else you are going in the Unlimited
class.

Ladies and Gentlemen...
I have a chance to start an amplifier reflector on my Internet Service
provider. The cost is not much...about 100 bucks a year depending on how
many people get into the thing. Let me know if your interested. E-mail me
directly. How many people would donate something?
