Does anyone have Zoli's e-mail address? I've tried his compuserve address a few times without success. I know he has a work address (libertel?) but I misplaced it. Pse reply direct to me. Tnx, Barry
No short term consequences, but I expect to see activity to start dropping in 5-10 years, as old farts are not replaced with younger farts. Barry W2UP-- Barry Kutner, W2UP Internet: w2up@mindspring.c
Although I have been a shorter-duraction contest supporter for a long time, I do not believe a part-time category is a good idea. There are so many categories now, it would just dilute the box scores
Jeff, What you fail to understand is the scores on CQ's web site are up to date, if you compare it with their certificate-mailing schedule :.) 73, Barry W2UP-- Barry Kutner, W2UP Internet: w2up@minds
I recently returned from a trip to Europe, part of which included 4 days in Macedonia to compete in the 6th IARU HST (high speed telegraphy) Championship. It was a fun event, and great to meet hams f
We could do a formal survey, but if we take the top 3 USA SOA in the last ARRL DX CW, W2UP uses WL, K3WW uses WL, and KI1G uses WL. My guess is more multis still use CT, primarily because of the cost
Syl, That's really not a fair survey. Don't forget that many CT users don't have computers powerful enough for Internet acess :.) 73, Barry W2UP-- Barry Kutner, W2UP Internet: w2up@mindspring.com New
If your looking for speed practice, RUFZ is still going strong. It's my favorite. It was used in the HST competition 2 weeks ago. FYI, Matt, DL4MM is working on an XP version of RUFZ. He showed it to
Writelog does have a native RTTY mode. You can also use MMTTY in Writelog, which is what I use. 73, Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Internet: w2up@mindspring.com Newtown, PA Frankford Radio Club ___

Steve, Several years ago, I recorded the entire contest in Writelog and went back and listened to every QSO in the UBN. It's so easy with the file indexed by callsign. My experience in listening to t
The fastest CW on the planet will happen next month in Macedonia. I'm going. Any other stateside guys want to join me? As of this moment, I'm a one man team. It's not too late to sign up (entry appli

It really doesn't matter if your software scores the oddball calls correctly (except for mult tracking on your end). The log checking software calculates the mults and scores. Nowhere in the Cabrillo
Bill, I have been doing some QRQ practice over the last month or so for the upcoming HST. At first, I was having a terrible time sending numbers with my dual lever paddle. I tried a Vibrokey single l
The best suggestion was moving the venue. Being polite, I'll say HARA has outgrown the event. Being honest, I'll say HARA is a dump. It's too small. It's dirty. There's inadequate parking. Etc. Etc.
While I don't have a small lot, all my antennas are on one tower (402CD @ 86 ft, TH7s @ 76, 40 & 25 ft, 80m slopers and 160 inv vee). The upper 2 TH7s are phased and the bottom one is used for radio
