Hi Joe You can set N1MM to never spot any stations automatically. You can still spot individual stations if you want to. (The <Spot It> button in the entry window or, I think, CTRL-P) 73, Jim Smith V
Wow, thanks to Al and Bruce for reversing this rule. I think it is incumbent on the rest of us to get the word out as well as we can to minimize the number of folks who use Skimmer because they didn'
Hmm... seems that I'm being chastised for having publicly stated that the rule change may not be noticed by lots of folks (particularly those who go by the rules as published in the NCJ) and then att
Hi David, There's also a BC QSO Party on Sat. http://www.deltaamateurradio.com/bcqsoparty/Delta_Amateur_Radio/Home.html Maybe too late to include it though. 73, Jim VE7FO On 2/2/2011 2:53 PM, K1TTT w
FWIW here's what I do. I program the TU QRZ macro to send TU VE7FO TEST. If I have to send CQ several times between answers then I let the macro finish. If I'm getting one or two calls after completi
I seem to remember somebody mentioning the existence of a book on starting and maintaining a contest club some time within the last 12 months. Can anyone tell me where to get it? 73, Jim Smith VE7FO
Hi Al, This is probably what I was thinking of. Tnx 73, Jim VE7FO _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman
Some of you may remember the havoc caused a few years ago when I ran contest training sessions with no-ticket ops. They all got their tickets and some of them show up in contest results to this day.
We're at it again. Our last outing was WPX RTTY. All total newbies getting the hang of N1MM and what a contest Q is made of. This time I've got 12 ops, some newbies and some not. We'll be doing a M/M
VE7FO's newbies were all told to tell their mothers to watch getscores to see how we were doing at VE7IO. Now they're all getting phone calls saying that no scores were there and was this just an ali
Hi everyone Some of my newbies will be in SS SSB this weekend under the call VE7IO (not FO). Wasn't very successful at getting them running in CQ WW SSB. I'm hoping to have more success this time. It
And I, for one, was very glad you worked split. I was trying to work you (from VE7UF) before you split and it was impossible to tell who you were coming back to. As soon as you split I could hear you
Well, maybe not THAT big. The ARRL 10m will be our fourth op training session. We'll be signing VE7IO. VE7IO has convinced a couple of ops to try CW so we'll be on both modes. I'm going to do my best
Tried to see what had been posted for WPX RTTY. Only 9 entries. Tried to sort on score by dragging score column header onto black bar just above it - nothing happened Below the grid I see something w
It's possible that we'll actually have 3 CW newbies. One is now OK with running on cw. The others less so. I think we're getting somewhere. Will probably have some experienced ops filling in the blan
I've figured out why there are M/M scores posted to 3830 but no M/Unlimited. The 3830 score submission form doesn't have a M/U category to select. That was easy. Jim _________________________________

Downloaded the rules but they show the date as Sep 3, 2011. No mention of 2012. Does anyone know if this contest is going to happen this year? 73, Jim VE7FO __________________________________________
You may recall announcements like this from last season. Altogether we ran about 10 op training sessions built around a variety of contests. Most trainees attended rather sporadically but some hung i
We're trying to do one contest a month. Our choice for this one is WAE. We won't be doing QTCs. I'll have a function key programmed to say Sri QRU to any QTC? QTC's are challenging, which adds to the
