TR-Log is seldom used in RTTY contests, but it is common in CW and my preferred CW logger. TR-Log can be configured to automatically work dupes or to inhibit transmission when you try to work a dupe
Oh, yes, I understood your example. I was just pointing out that it is ALSO possible for you to call a station when they ARE in your log. But, their response should still be the same ... just work i
This Saturday (00-04Z, Sunday, 14 October) is the Fall running of the NA RTTY Sprint. Like the other NA Sprints, this is a lot of fun and doesn't take much bite out of your weekend. And, you never kn
The log submittal process is working again. My apologies to the half-dozen of you who quickly submitted your log only to be greeted with a message that your dates were off by 200 days. Should be fixe

The preliminary results from the NA RTTY Sprint two weeks ago are complete and will be posted shortly on the NCJ web site. I apologize for the delay, but I had a family emergency last week. LCRs (Log

How about practicing tomorrow, 0300-0400z Friday (Thursday evening in North America)? We can check out our RTTY setups, including PacketCluster utilization which is permitted in all operating classes
I'm helping with two sessions on RTTY contesting at the Contest University on Thursday prior to the Dayton Hamvention . "Getting Started in RTTY Contesting" and "Advanced Techniques". Whether or not
Good points, Bob ... 1. Is Packet a distraction and therefore a Red Herring? Whether Packet usage is a distraction or a performance-enhancer depends on how it is used and the skill of the operator. I
So, Rick, were you as conflicted about 'five nine' and you are about 'kilowatt'? Did you enter FIVE NINE in your log for the signal report? Do you really think the DX stations logged CALIFORNIA rathe
The March running of the RTTY Sprint is this Saturday NA time (00-04Z Sunday, 9 March). It's a lot of fun and a great way to sharpen up your RTTY contesting skills. Organizing or joining a team also
There will be a practice from 0230-0300Z Saturday (Friday evening NA time) for the NA RTTY Sprint. 20 meters may not be too great for anything but local contacts, but 40 and 80 should be fine. Same N
