I probably missed this, but how in the world did the FCC ever issue
the call? It is clearly against their guidelines, except I guess, for
special events.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Out of Band operating 80/40m
Message-ID: <OF548B325E.679809B4-ONCA256C63.007E39ED@aap.pwcinternal.com>

It would be great for you guy's in the US to re-assess your self imposed
CW/SSB barriers...  Operating split on 7028/7245 (SSB) for one QSO made me
feel uncomfortable, and while VK does not have any strict CW/SSB divisions,
operating SSB below 7030 outside contests would be a bad sport.  From our
licensing persepective, both are fully legal.

Even on 80m... our little VK 6Khz SSB slot gets busy and issues or
sportsmanship arise during contests....  It was moot this year, as my
80/160m array failed prior to CQWW SSB.   You would get many votes from VK
for opening up the US 80m SSB band down to 3650 or 3660.

The reverse VFO ID of a few US stations was a prompt to go split on 40m...
but mostly a little in cw "USA" was enough of a queue..

Thank you!  You Sir, understand the spirit of radiosport is a test of
skill, not a test of who can assemble the most outside assistance.

Now, can we outlaw "Super Check Partial" too?

The Contest Garbler Microphone as well as the buried antennas

I sent this out to our local new hams - maybe you have a local group that would 
benefit from a little encouragement to play...

73, Ward N0AX

Hi folks,

Some of you have expressed an interest in CW and this is the weekend to 
practice it.  The annual ARRL CW Sweepstakes runs from 1 PM on Saturday to 7 PM 
Sunday evening on 80 through 10 meters (not on 30, 17, or 12-meters).  While 
you might recoil in horror at the high code speeds, tune wayyyyyyy up in the 
bands and there will be some folks going nice and slow.  The Novice bands on 
80, 40, 15, and 10 meters often have a number of slow-speed stations hanging 
out up there.  Don't be afraid to jump in there and give 'em a call.  I 
*guarantee* your code speed will double with just a few hours at the key.

Here's how it works...

1) You hear somebody calling "CQ SS CQ SS de N0AX"
2) Send your call ONCE - "W7VMI" - don't send their call and don't send yours 
twice or three times.  If they don't copy your call on the first try, they'll 
send "AGN" or "?" or just CQ again.  So call 'em again.  If they're going too 
fast, send "QRS" and they'll slow down.
3) If they hear you, they'll send something like this - "W7VMI 107 A N0AX 53 
CO"  What the heck does that mean?
    - W7VMI is your call to let you know they're talking to you
    - 107 is the number of the contact in the contest for them (their next 
contact will be 108, etc.)
    - A is their entry class (low power) - there are A, B, M, Q, S, and U 
classes
    - Then they send their call
    - 53 is the last two digits of the first year they were licensed - it's 
called a "check"
    - CO means Colorado, their ARRL Section (there are 80 - some are states, 
others aren't, all are two or three letters)
4) If you don't get it all, it's perfectly OK to send "QRS PSE, AGN" - which 
means "Slow down, send it again, please"
5) If you do get it - way to go!  Here's what you send...
    - Their call
    - The number this contact is in the contest for you - if it's your first 
send "1" and pat yourself on the back
    - Your class (QRP is Q, <150W is A, >150W is B, M is multioperator, S is a 
school club, and U is unlimited...don't ask)
    - Your call
    - The last two digits of the first year you were licensed - if you got your 
license last year, it's "01", for example
    - Your section, "WWA" for Western Washington, maybe, or "IL" for Illinois, 
or "PQ" for Province Quebec - ah, but oui!
6) If they don't get it, they may say...with a question mark, maybe...
    - "AGN" - send everything all over again
    - "NR" - repeat just the number a couple of times
    - "PREC" or just "PR" - repeat your class letter, it's called "precedence" 
for a number of reasons you don't care about
    - "CALL" - repeat your call (this is rare)
    - "CK" - repeat the two digits of the year, your check
    - "SEC" or "QTH" - repeat your section
7) They may ask YOU to QRS, you speed demon, so do it with a smile!
8) If they copy everything, they'll say a short "TU" (for thanks) or "R" (for 
Roger) or "QSL" (for received OK) and then just send their CQ or maybe just 
their call and away you both may go.
9) Sometimes, it just doesn't work out - QRM (interference) or QRN (static) or 
QSB (fading) or the cat could cough up a hairball on the rug requiring 
immediate action.  Don't take it personally, just go find somebody else to 
call.  It's a no-fault deal.
10) If you get tired of "Searching and Pouncing", then tighten your belt, mop 
your brow, cock your hat at a jaunty angle and call CQ!  It's easy - don't have 
a cow, man, just call "CQ SS CQ SS de W7VMI W7VMI" and listen, repeat if 
necessary.  Soon you'll get an answer.  Just play back the above steps with you 
as the call-ee.

What's the object?  Make as many contacts as you can.  Try to contact as many 
different sections as you can.  Try to spell your name from the last letters of 
the calls you work.  Work your home state.  Work your brother's state.  Nobody 
can stop at just one QSO...

It's a lot of fun - the hours will fly by.  Keep a simple paper log the first 
time out to make it easy - you can worry about entering it on a computer later. 
 There are complete rules and instructions for operating and scoring and 
sending in the log on the ARRL Web site 
http://www.arrl.org/contests/rules/2002/nov-sweeps-rules.html.  Come spring of 
2003, you can click on over to the contest results and wonder-of-wonders, there 
your call will be with the mighty titans in the very same font size just a few 
lines away.  Woo-hoo!!

Go for it!

On a related note, has anyone ever gotten a Popkin-Gram for operating USB
near the bottom edge (or LSB near the TOP)?  How close?

Not only would you be LOUDER, but your signal would get 
there before anyone else's...a great recipe for breaking pileups!

I'm sure there are some who would go work a guy out of the band "on
purpose".  We all know the type.  But I can easily imagine that most
out-of-band operating is either ignorance or contest-induced enthusiasm.
How often do some contesters actually get on between contests and operate
near the bottom?  Even when they do, tuning PAST the bottom of the band is
*usually* marked by the sudden lack of signals.  This is not so during phone
contests as DX is waiting there more often.  Also, the bottom edges of phone
bands are not so easily remembered and they have moved over the years
whether in general or somewhat sporadically by license upgrading.  I cannot
recall the last time the defined "bottom" of a CW band moved so arbitrarily.
But enough excuses...

Certainly, the frequency data in Cabrillo could be used to nail 'em but
that's another (probably country-by-country) database that would need to be
kept up-to-date... but we do have the technology.  Cabrillo could never
squelch "Listen up" however.

"I just looked back, to see what condition my conditions was in" --Jerry
Reed

I hope the sun is nice to us northerners this weekend. The report below
kinda gives me the eeby jeebies!

------------------
From: SKY & TELESCOPE's AstroAlert for Sun-Earth Interactions

 a possibility continues to exist for
additional impressive and dynamic solar limb activity over the next few
days.
There is also a chance we may see additional major x-ray flares over the
coming week or two if the active sunspot complex responsible for this latest
X-class solar flare originated with the spot complex behind the southeast
limb. That sunspot region will gradually rotate into better view over the
next several days, while old Region 10162 will be lost behind the northwest
limb. The area of primary interest will now switch from Region 10162 on the
west limb to the new active spot complex on the southeast limb.

Associated images and movies of this dynamic activity can be found at
http://www.spacew.com/astroalert.html.

It always nice to see someone is sure there is an East Coast conspiracy...

Sections exist because of the administrative needs of the ARRL Field 
Organization and any "recent" changes (KP2/KP4, EWA/WWA, WNY/NNY, WCF/SFL) have 
taken place because hams in those areas successfully organized and presented a 
case for change.   Nothing to do with contesting.

Sweepstakes just uses Sections as multipliers.    Some are quite small (KP2 has 
62) and some very large (Ohio has 6483) but it is roughly reflective of the 
number of hams in each area.

W7GG: what "new" Section in Canada are you referring to?   I'm not aware of 
any.  The Canadian multipliers are the 8 RAC Sections VO(1+2), Maritimes 
(VE1/9+VY2), VE2-3-4-5-6-7) plus VE8/VY1/0 for a total of 9.  I think it's been 
that way a very long time.

Actually, the cabrillo file only lists the freq if you are using a computer
controlled radio.  On 40 it shows the rx frequency not the tx frequency,
(at least in my logs).

I don't like it either, but it's becoming an unfortunate fact of life.  As long
as we can listen below 7.040 (or 7.030) and keep getting answers, we'll
continue to listen there.  If we never got answers, we'd be forced to try to
work in the muck above 7.040.

Maybe WRC-03 or whatever it's called will fix 40 meters, but I'm not holding my
breath.

Well, right after WCF was created, I just jumped at the thought of an
EGA and WGA.

Called the ARRL and found out that financial considerations are a BIG
factor, plus getting someone to serve section manager, and on the
various committees. Considering the number of hams in WCF, there is
simply no justification for that section ( but I LIKE it ), and hats
off to the guys there who organized and got it done.

I believe ample justification exists for many other States. NC, AL,
IL, IN, ect.

Just please don't split up SC.

The case for West Central Florida (for example) was that the major population 
center around Tampa Bay was split between NFL and SFL, with section officials 
in Miami, for example, having to travel very long distances to serve League 
interests in the central part of the state.  Having one section in the 
area also improves ARES coordination.

I believe the case for EWA/WWA was similar - the growing population centers 
east of the coastal mountain ranges were not capable of being adequately 
served by League officials based in the Seattle area, especially in winter
storms when some of the passes close, it was affecting ARES operations.
Perhaps Oregon could make a similar argument, but for whatever reason, they
haven't yet.

Simply based upon population, STX might be a good candidate for a split.  
We have four very large population centers, two of which have been among the 
ten largest cities in the United States for decades (Houston and San Antonio,)
but on the other hand, travel and coordination between those population centers
is not geographically difficult, and most of the ARES operations are either 
very local (tornadoes) or they tend to affect the coastline as a whole
(widespread flooding, hurricanes) so from an ARES standpoint, keeping STX the
way it is might be desirable.

And how well connected they are.  It's easy to drive from one point of 
Ohio to another - to get from St. Thomas to San Juan probably requires air 
travel in most cases, which makes a good case for separate VI and PR sections.
The same case might be made about the disparate components of PAC, but either
there really aren't enough hams in KH8/KH2/etc. to warrant it, or they 
really don't care and have never presented a case for it to the League.

I'm not aware of any section having ever been created based even in part on
an argument related to Sweepstakes or other ARRL-sponsored contests (which 
use sections for award distribution purposes.)

Newfoundland used to be part of the MAR section until about five or six 
years ago.

Lately, I've been receiving a lot of nice comments about
the score and band summary reports. I guess, when the 
biggies come around, people notice them more. Lest I take 
too much credit, I act only a front man and Bruce WA7BNM 
is the real wizard behind the curtain - collecting data 
and providing the report templates. 

Bruce has given me back my life through the Score Collection
Web page and has allowed the contest community to continue
having these reports available through his hard work. That, 
while supporting the NCJ Webpage, his own Contest Calander page,
and making a living.

Bruce doesn't tout his own horn and probably won't like me doing
it...  

......but tough. :>)

Thanks Bruce!

I am sure I'll get the flamethrower from the "we have too much
damn government" multitudes that populate our fine country,
but the debacle on the 160 meter band here in the United States
has proven that U.S. hams MUST have mode sub-bands dictated by
law.  We in the U.S. just LOVE to do anything LEGAL, with the
ethical and interpersonal questions be damned.  I can assure
you that the day the FCC removes sub-band restrictions in law
from U.S. amateur allocations is the day that CW and digital
modes will meet an untimely death, worldwide.  That would go
for contesting on those modes, too.

I'll shut up now.  GL to all this weekend.

Ahh... but the software can be far more sophisticated.  If you worked 
a CQing station on 21.150 SSB, and either he is logging his freq, or 
other operators log the freq when THEY worked him, your frequency can 
be ascertained.

Remember, your movements on the band can be reconstructed in great 
measure WITHOUT your log!

Well for SS your concerns are obviously the next few days, and not the
coming week or two. So, if whatever activity does occur is going to be
confined to the limb, then it's not going to cause you too much in the
way of grief from bad effects. Other than perhaps a brief shortwave
fadeout.

Hint: If a flare does happen, then it's time to head for 10M or 15M or
take a half-hour of off time.

Don't worry, be happy. And bring it on!

For those of you wondering as to the creation of the WCF section.... It made 
sense since the center of population of the west coast of Florida was split 
between north and south as has been noted in a preivious post.  However, the 
population of the section is approximately 3,629,000 and much of the area is 
some of the fastest growing in Florida.  That number is about 25% of 
Florida's population.

One of the proponents of the new section and who worked hard for its creation 
was N4PK who became a silent key last month.  Paul was a member of the FCG 
and will be missed.  That's just a thought you should be aware of when you 
get that 80th section, courtesy of Paul, N4PK

See you in SS.

Thanks all the same, but I'd prefer that we left the Indiana section alone. 
Northern IN and Southern IN would be the only logical divisions, and I don't

The ARRL bulletin for today included this note:

"This weekend is the ARRL CW Sweepstakes, a great old domestic
contest. The beginning of the weekend may not be bad, but a solar
wind stream on Sunday could cause some problems for HF operators.
The planetary A index is expected to be 12 on Friday and Saturday,
and around 20 on Sunday and Monday. Since this is a domestic
contest, there won't be any problem with disruptions on the polar
path to Europe, but it could affect communications with Northern
Canada"

That "Northern Canada" note includes VY1, VE8, & VY0.  On Sunday, expect
one-way communications and the tendency for North-South communications to be
workable, but East-West from the north to be nearly impossible.

In the East coast, you may not hear us at all.  If you do hear VY1JA,
realize that when propagation is one-way, I will hear you louder than you
hear me (almost always).  Try, even if my signal is weak, especially in the
period around 1800-2000.  After that, I may not hear you at all under these
conditions.

This Sunday, it is very important to get the QSO when you hear it if you are
in the East Coast so I will stand by for East Coast from time to time.  In
the West, my signal is likely to be weaker than usual, but QSOs have nearly
always been possible.

Bottom line, WORK THE NORTH ON SATURDAY, preferably at the start of the
contest, before the solar storm hits, aim you beam toward KL7 and hope for
the best.

My rig is acting up again.  The Omni-V is cutting in and out. I am working
on the rig today to see if I can find this intermittent.  That type of
problem is VERY hard to locate, so wish me luck. It sounds like a parasitic
in the rig and intermittently kills reception.  When it is there it hits the
transmit side as well, and causes a sharp rise in SWR on transmit, and I am
now concerned that the high SWR is indicating that it is trying to transmit
out of band, which means immediate QRT when the intermittent occurs.

Fortunately, the intermittent has lasted a maximum of about two minutes...
so hang in there if we are in the middle of a QSO and I disappear.

Finally, I have been hit with a flu bug which has just started.  I still
plan to do my best to get YT to anyone that needs it, especially on
Saturday, considering the propagation forecast.  At this time I am unaware
of any other CW operations in Yukon, and I wish you all luck finding me.  I
will, as usual, find a clear spot at my MUF (which is lower than yours in
the south)before the contest, and work stations there waiting for the
starting gong.  That will make it easier to find Yukon.

If you are aware of any other YT/NWT/NT ops committed to this contest,
please let me know as it will ease my mind concerning my rig's behavior.

Some advantage.....Usually I and maybe one other station east of the 
Mississippi cracks the top ten SSB high power.  Uh, lets see, that's makes 80 
%  for the west coast, right?

It could get there TOO much faster. The acceleration would need to be modeled 
and the distance to the receiving station taken into account. The taper of the 
antenna element is something to pay attention to as well. Do you think we 
should let the folks at JoGunn in on this phenomenon?

Although the "West" has a bit of an advantage over the "East" in the
modern SS contest, this advantage does not extend to the "West Coast"
in this or the past decade.  There has been something of a shift in
demographics with the decline of the American automobile industry
(i.e., in Detroit) and the replacement of the midwestern family farm
with giant agribusiness.  Amateur radio contesting in the Great Lakes
region declined numerically in favor of the South and Northeast.  The
result is that a lower percentage of contesters are found within the
single hop range of the coastal California and Pacific Northwest
stations.  In the early 70's Pete Grillo (then W6RTT and then a recent
winner of the SSCW) explained the coming shift in demographics to me
(then a teenage WB6OLD and then also a recent winner of the SSCW) and
predicted that the Gulf Coast region would be the hotbed of victorious
contesters in the upcoming years.  I had trouble believing it, but it
certainly turned out to be true during the 80's and up to the present.
The Northeast, however, unquestionably has the biggest advantage in DX
contesting these days -- European ham radio being a great area of
growth.

There is no east coast advantage in SS. Look at rate charts. The big east
coasters will put up huge numbers on Saturday yet often finish far behind
the pack.

A theory I've heard is that they work the crap out of 80/75 but their rates
suffer on Sunday when all that's left are multihop paths that are less
productive. They basically run the eastern seaboard dry on Saturday and pick
up the scraps on Sunday. No flames, please, it's just a theory I've heard.

Aside from the time-tested advantages of WP3R at Arecibo, in my view there
is only one place in North America that has significant advantages over
others: Saskatchewan.

Manitoba is a close second. Why? We have optimum hops into the heart of
American amateurdom. We can work into the Indiana-NY belt like nobody's
business. And from Virginia to the Carolinas and the Gulf states, we
generally (or so we're told) are LOUD. Then we can run W6s like stink. And
when we need to, we can go into the Tech band on 10 and run Gulf Coast
Techs. From here, none of the sections are particularly "hard" to work, as
long as someone is there.

And of course the VE4 or VE5 prefix is good for several dBs. It's not quite
the gain that VY1JA gets from his prefix, but we're not as severely affected
by aurora like Jay is either.

Hops into Saskatchewan fall a little more optimally than in Manitoba, which
is why I rate VE5 higher.

But Shhh! Don't tell anybody, please.

Trust me - being in a new section IS NOT WHAT IT IS CRACKED UP TO BE!

West Central Florida has been around for several years now and still we 
are all asked if we are in North or South Florida....

Most WCF Contesters who do "the phone" don;t even say West Central 
Florida, they have better luck with Whiskey Charlie Fox - the other guy 
will type QCF before he questions the existence of West Central Florida....

TIMELY -  FOR THOSE WORK ME

it's WCF

OK - I certianly will try, Nat

Note - as I mentioned - been there done that

Mid you I will not apologize should I sweep!

K1AR also spoke of the obsession with Sweeps years ago in his 
column...and if you go far enoguh back to the 50's you will find an 
article by W1YYM about the relative value of sweeping versus QSOs... 
todays' software makes those decisions easy...

I guess part of what I was trying to say is that if you are coming the 
bands for QSOs work any new guys - don;t become obsessed with the 
Sweep...it may not even be attainable, there have been years when doing 
such was possible!

Maximize your points in the contest....don't maximize your depression 
over NOT Sweeping - imagine how you will feel if it turns out nobody was 
on from "Nebraska" (just picking one)

GL to everyone this weekend...SS is a FUN contest as well as time to say 
hi to many olde friends you may have contested with for over 30 years 
(like itis for me!)

Nat,

With all due consideration, you need to worry less about a sweep and
more about getting a call which doesn't cause us to do a mental
double-clutch when you call us in the middle of a hot run!  What the
hell were you thinking, anyhow?

Does the FCC even monitor the ham bands any more?  I haven't
heard of anybody getting a pink slip for years.  Years ago,
before I got the Extra, I got a pink slip for operating CW on
7.024.75.  Just barely into the Extra band.  Now I hear guys
operating on 14.349 and I can copy them way out of the band.

Hi Dale

Sure, and maybe we could get everyone doing that and then we
could just exchange our information on the cluster.  That way the
non-conesters wouldn't get all bent because there is a contest
going.  Heck, we wouldn't even have to turn on the radio.  Just
think, I could put my info on the cluster and everyone who got it
could put their info on the cluster and viola, new mults, lots of
Q's.  Log checking software wouldn't know the difference as long
as we coordinate times, band, etc.  Boy, I can see where packet
spotting is just going to get better and better!!  I may even
have to try it some day.

Have a problem 1 day before sweepstakes.  All of a
sudden the logging computer in the shack has started
losing time very quickly.  Like getting 5 minutes
behind every hour.  This is not good for the NA
logging.  Haven't opened up the computer yet, but does
this sound like a problem with the lithum battery? 
the computer has been plugged in and running the
entire time this has been happening.  Any help would

Creating an Eastern Oregon section would probably be the best thing that
ever happened to clean up VY1JA's mailbox in the weeks before SS.

Looks to me like there are far more hams in the Yukon than there are east of
Bend.

Seriously though, it does seem absurd that Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois have
never been split.  As a Wisconsin native living in Tennessee I can guarantee
you travelling the length of Illinois is not a fast and easy trip.

If you want to see a detailed analysis of SS have a look at Appendix 1 of "A

You will have to read the rest of the article in order to understand the SS

John,

What operating system?

If its WinXP I may have the answer.  Under WinXP, if you're running a 
popular DOS-based logging program it appears that the clock runs slow if 
the CW keying is enabled.  Disable the keying, the clock runs keeps 
accurate time.

While this problem was reported running NA, I suspect that both CT and TR 
would be similarly affected.  While not wasting your time getting into the 
gory details of timer ticks and such, the problem appears to be related to 
how Microsoft emulated the DOS environment under WinXP.

If you're not running WinXP you can ignore this message.  If you are, you 
have two choices: turn off CW keying and run an external keyer, or simply 
reset the time every hour.

I *assume* this was made in jest as NLI stands for New York
(City) and Long Island.  Nevertheless, if we need more
sections :-) why not make NLI be North Long Island, and
create SLI for South Long Island and NYC for the five
boroughs of that city.  Even better would be BR for
Brooklyn, SI for Staten Island, BX for the Bronx, QU (or
QUE) for Queens (hopefully not too confusing vie a vie PQ
for Province of Quebec [which used to be QU]) and MAN for
Manhattan (which *is* the City to those who live in the
other four boroughs, Long Island, and the rest of the [lower
portions of] New York State).

Then we can carry it out to its logical conclusion:  East
and West Oregon, North and South Nevada, East and West North
Dakota and South Dakota, ad infinitum.  We could have maybe
200~300 sections!  That would make a clean sweep a real
achievement!

John,

I found that DOS programs work really well with an XP machine only when you
split the hard drive with one of the programs for that purpose, like
"PartitionMagic" and "BootMagic" that comes with it.  I used my old DOS from
Windows 95.

TR LOVES it and because I stored all of the data on a third "drive" which
PartitionMagic made, I can access all of the contest data from XP.  XP does
not see the DOS drive and DOS does not see the XP drive, but both see the
third "data" drive.

Clock works fine.

Ah, because the "N" in "NLI" doesn't stand for "North,"  since the full name
of the section is New York City - Long Island, and NLI is shorter than
NYCLI?

Now the real question I want to know is, what section is the island of
Moosylvania in this year?  Assuming it hasn't sunk again.

I'm still waiting for the sothern half of Long Island to get a section - why
only Northern LI? Seems like a silly way to divide it up anyway...

Good News:
The Omni-V is working perfectly this morning.

Bad News:
Ol' Murph may just be having the rig hold out till the rate is high.  I did
not find the problem, but left the rig on all last night and it seems well
this morning.

When this contest is over, I hope that someone that is sharp with PLLs will
talk me through this Omni-V repair, via the internet.

Favorite spots:
Frequencies that end with 27, or 37, but that only works at the start of the
contest and once in a while during it.  How often can anyone find the exact
frequency they want clear in SS???

Great News:
Conditions are super here today, so I may be able to start on 10, but
remember that my MUF is lower than yours down south, so watch for me on 15
if 10 does not open here.  I am on 21027, listening to Jerry, K6III work EU,

You need to do more research. By counties, Long Island is separated into east 
and west. The Boroughs of NY are Kings, Queens, Richmond, New York, Bronx.

NAQP mult-ops do not have to abide by the "10 out of 12" rule.

SS multi-ops do indeed have to abide by the "24 out of 30" rule.  It seems 
silly to me to require multi-ops take off time.  As a representative on the 
CAC, I've suggested a rule change in this regard but there does not seem to 
be much support.

Jeepers, guys.

It was a joke.  I lived on LI for 30 years. I know what NLI stands for.
Besides, if "Northern LI" existed, and there wasn't any SLI and NYC what
would all the guys living there do for a section?

I didn't think it was all that subtle.  Y'all must not be thinking clearly,
what, with all the pre-SS jitters!  ;-)

(Yes that was another joke)

No, it's not the battery.

The battery only runs the CMOS real-time clock - this is
a device that runs all the time that maintains time when the PC is off.
(In the good ol' days of PCs, this device was not necessarily installed and
one needed to enter the time at boot up.  Remember that?) The time gets
read from this device once at boot-up, and is maintained by the OS
afterwards.  It's important to realize that the OS maintains this time, NOT
the CMOS device.  The CMOS device only gets talked to again when you
reboot or you enter a time change.  A good test (to
prove me right or wrong) would be to turn the machine off (after it's been
running a while - say an hour - with a noticeable - you say 5 mins - time
error) then turn it back on.  If the time is still in error, then I'm all
wet.
But if it operates as I suspect, the time will be correct; then it is clear
that something ELSE is the trouble.

So with that out of the way, are you running NA in a DOS window behind
Windows?  There's probably some Windows application running that screws
up the clock.  Maybe something recently installed (even without your
knowing...)
Check the task manager, system tray, etc. for stuff running.

Another good reason to NOT run in a window...

That would be an interesting experiment, Dave, to see if

Hi,

Can anyone explain why the M/Os always seem to lag?

Let's for the sake of argument eliminate the "Let's Elmer the newbies"
efforts and look at Top 10 in the class. Surely in Top 10 there are serious
efforts like the WP2Z SS Phone team last year. Why does M/O not work?

Is it a distraction thing? Too many cooks? Is it a duplicate contact thing?
(I'm thinking that perhaps dupe screening takes longer since in single op
you've worked everyone and can more easily recognize a call that's been
worked before.) Is there, perhaps like in U, too much time spent chasing
mults instead of living by K0HB's maxim "mults happen?"

I'm interested in this mainly as research for my QST article on SS Phone
results.

Thanks, and 73,
kelly

Message-ID: <F165rY6FDsQO8qPLlxw000016c4@hotmail.com>

I was curious as to what the numbers were, so I went to QRZ.com and looked 
at the ham population by state.  These were the numbers I got supposedly 
accurate up to 02 Nov for the top ten states:

1  CA  93853
2  TX  39385
3  FL  37162
4  NY  29862
5  OH  28179
6  PA  22845
7  WA  22779
8  IL  21344
9  MI  19916
10 NC  17409

And this is a list of the number of sections in each state:

1  CA  9
2  TX  3
3  FL  3
4  NY  4
5  OH  1
6  PA  2
7  WA  2
8  IL  1
9  MI  1
10 NC  1

Why does MA have 2 sections when it has a total of 13516 hams there?  Ohio 
has over twice the number of hams, but only has one section?  I am quite 
confused here.  Am I wrong in thinking that a section is based on the number 
of hams in it?  Or is it by the number of ARRL members in the state?  Seems 
to me that OH, IL, and MI should be broken down into 2 sections each - the 
number of hams are there to justify it.

Which leads me to the following question... How does one go about getting 
the ARRL to create new sections?  What is the proceedure that you have to go 
thru to get the ball rolling?  Or would it be a waste of time and energy?

The NYC Borough names given by K5RC are actually the county names.  The
county names are only important as regards court system administration and
for the entry on your tax return (and for county hunters).  Here is the
translation between Borough names and County names (both are official):

Borough of Manhattan:            New York County
Borough of the Bronx:             Bronx County
Borough of Brooklyn:              Kings County
Borough of Queens:                 Queens County
Borough of Staten Island:        Richmond County

The former Borough of Richmond (located geographically on Staten Island) was
renamed the Borough of Staten Island in 1975.  It has always been Richmond
County as well, at least since well before NYC Unification in 1898.  To find
a Borough of Richmond, you must go to London.

The Bronx is named for Jonas Bronck, a Swedish seafarer by way of the
Netherlands, who settled in the Bronx in 1639.  There was a "Bronck's River"
well before a name was needed for the entire area; the use of "the" is a
remnant of the connection with the name of the river.  The Bronx is ALWAYS
referred to with "the".

The ARRL Section "NLI" consists of seven counties: New York City, plus
Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island.  Long Island is 118 miles long;
the furthest point, Montauk Point, is almost directly south of the
Connecticut-Rhode Island border.  Many residents of the eastern part of
Suffolk County have been agitating for years to secede from Suffolk County
and form a new county, which would probably be called Peconic County and
would be the 63rd county in New York State.

Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties, plus Queens and Brooklyn) is
NA-026 for the IOTA program.  Manhattan and Staten Islands do not meet the
IOTA qualifications for "islands".  The Bronx is geographically part of the
mainland.

No, I have no problem with that.

Clear Day
Nov. 2, 2002


It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Dan Robbins - KL7Y. On 
Oct. 31, 2002 Dan was in a motorcyle accident on the Big Island of Hawaii - and 
did not survive his injuries.

Dan has always been like a part of my famliy - we lived close to each other, 
and would help each other often. I am still in shock, as well as many other 
friends are over this.

Dan was just finished with the CQWW contest at KH7R, I am sure many of you had 
worked him during that time. He was in a place that he loved, doing what he 
loved, and had the pleasure to visit with many of his friends at the contest 
station. I am sure they are all gratefull of that time together.

We will all miss that familiar voice, and fist of KL7Y, his sense of humor, and 
his knowledge. We have spent so much time working on towers together, repairing 
amp's,  cutting phasing lines, enjoying famliy cookouts, and holidays. I don't 
think I will ever find a better friend.

I know we all have fond memories of Dan, so he will live on in our minds and 
hearts.

I spent many days being his ground man while he did tower work, looking up for 
hours to assist him. Dan, I am still looking up.....

73 for now old friend,

There are a finite number of individuals that could be considered
"icons" of radiosport and without exaggeration or embezzlement, KL7Y was
one of them.

I remember the first time I worked Dan, many years ago during a DX
contest. I remember thinking to myself, "Hmm, KL7-*Yankee*, he must
really be an OM to have a call like that." Since then, I have been able
to work him everytime I heard him on. While we worked many times over
the years, one QSO sticks out. The summer before this past I was making
skeds to finish up my 5BWAS award and in response to my e-mail request,
Dan, who did not even know me personally, agreed to a QSO on 80m. Our
sked was in August (a tough month for the low bands in AK given the
limited darkness) at well after midnight AK time, and according to Dan,
he stayed up late just for our QSO. The QSO was not easy, but we made it
anyway and Dan was even kind enough to stick around a few extra minutes
to work my Dad, N3FX.

Not long afterwards, the QSL card for the contact arrived in the mail. I
received many of Dan's QSLs over the years, yet every time I was
continually in awe of their uncanny beauty: each depicted a picturesque,
snow-laden slice of the hilly, serene Alaskan wilderness with "KL7Y"
boldly printed in the corner. I never sent KL7Y a QSL card in which he
did not respond punctually. Despite the fact that has was probably
inundated with QSLs from his many operations (many of them
multi-something), he always sent one upon request, and there are few
greater signs of altruism in contesting than a major station who QSLs
100% with all deliberate speed. His QSL ethics were of the rare variety
these days; I could name several stations subscribed to this reflector
whose ethics lag in comparison.

The news of his death came suddenly, I read about it only a few days ago
on the PVRC reflector, but his impact on ham radio and contesting will
not soon be forgotten. Although his key may now be silent, his signal is
not, and I consider myself privileged to have known and worked him.
Although that familiar "Kilo Lima Seven Yankee" will no longer enter the
Heil headset and illuminate the s-meter when I point the beam up towards
Alaska, I know he'll always be there. To Dan's family, I send my
condolences for your loss and my wishes of strength for the future, and
to Dan, thanks so much for the QSOs and for your kindness and I'll catch
up with you on 3830 when the contest of my life reaches 2400z as well.

I thought NYC was created in 1899.  Otherwise, no issues.  I
was born and raised in NYC (Queens) but left in 1975.

There's lots of people wanting to secede.  Folks in western
Kansas want to be part of Colorado; NYC wants to be a state
unto itself so its taxes will stay in the city and not go to
Albany; Staten Island wants to be part of NJ.  Connecticut
claimed part of Pennsylvania until the early 1800's!

Oh, well.

I will always remember Halloween 2002.

My father, KL7FH, called me on the phone and told me the bad news.  At first
I was in shock, and then I was in denial.  After that, I was extremely
sad... and then denial kicked in again.

KL7Y was my contesting Elmer.  I don't think I would have gotten into
contesting so much if it wasn't for him.  He invited me up to his fantastic
station for a CQWW CW M/M when I was 13.  I didn't really know what to
expect, but I had fun, and I was hooked.  I was there for almost every
multi-op afterwards, and even a single op or two.  I can remember sitting up
in the middle of the night with Dan milking 20 meters and the low bands, and
waiting for 10 to open up over the pole.  Now that I think back... those
were "the good old days."  I didn't know Dan as long as some of the other
regulars like WL7E, or KL2A (ex NL7GP), but it feels like I knew him longer
than 7 or 8 years.

Dan was absolutely one of the nicest people on the planet.  He was extremely
generous with his station, and with his expertise.  A contest at KL7Y was
never bad, no matter how bad the conditions were.  It was great to sit down
and pick his brain about things.  "Where do I point the antenna now?"  "Is
it better to concentrate on DX now, or should I run states?"  It may not
seem like much, but it meant a lot to a youngster full of enthusiasm.  Dan
was always right there, showing me what to do, and giving me tips on how to
do better.  I feel like I was always asking him questions, and asking his
opinion.  When we weren't operating, I was listening to his great stories of
contests past.  Anyone who has met Dan knows what I am talking about.

He was a joy to operate with, and a great person to just hang out with.  A
great leader at the Multi-ops, who welcomed everyone.  I really can't put
words to how much we all miss Dan already.  He loved contesting, and his
enthusiasm rubbed off on everyone who was around him.  Not hearing the KL7Y
station on for SS this weekend was very sad.  Hopefully I can muster up the
motivation to do CQWW CW.... things will just never be the same.

I will always remember Dan and the great times I had with him.
Halloween 2002 was the end of an era.

I've heard that California has wanted to secede.  Having spent some time
in Los Angeles, I can't figure out if it's another country or another
planet.  Cruise down Hollywood Boulevard on a Saturday evening some time
...

BTW, East Central Illinois is probably the only place where you can visit
Jamaica, Kansas and Paris all in the same hour.

To all:

I was very pleased to see well over 400 QSOs get through.  The rig was
acting up... cutting in and out, and shifting frequencies, I was sick as a
dog, we had an earthquake in KL7 which shook our house quite a bit, (I am
subject to motion sickness!) and to top it off a loader operator came by on
Sunday??? afternoon to level our yard and I had to be with him.

An unusual number of people did not listen to the pileup and asked me to
stop and give them the QSO number, Check or Section and hold up the pileup
instead of them just listening.

I feel that they should get it from the next exchange, or better yet, have
the information typed into their logger by listening to the previous QSO and
just have the number ready in case I call them.

This SS was a very maddening experience and many of you almost lost out to
frustration.  I was ready to give the Omni-V the 18 wheeler instruction set.
If all of the wheels that are in a row on the left side roll over the rig,
it is sure to remember how it made me feel.  One of these days...  (Chen,
don't worry, I'd send it back to you instead)

Many station ops did not listen to my requests.  I stood by for QRP, usually
near the half past window and had M, U, A, and B give me calls, and it was
amazing how many people who hear my request for 8A? understand it to be
their call which has neither an 8 nor an A in it.

Some of the callers have, over the years, become my good friends.  It puts
me in a dilemma when I have to embarrass you in front of the whole pileup.
I do not know how to handle these things without causing someone upset.  I
have an enormous amount of gratitude for what everyone has done for me, and
still must manage the pileups.

I am normally much more patient, but with the illness, and the rest of the
things I was fighting, it was very difficult for me.

For those I was rude to, I apologize, for those that I helped, you are
welcome.

******************

Dan was vacationing in Hawaii. He loved to come here, participate in a
contest from KH7R (in shorts and no shirt - no less, something he certainly
couldn't do at home) and spend some time on the other beautiful islands.
This time was no exception. After a great effort at KH7R, contesting stories
in the off hours and several meals off the "barbee", Dan traveled to the Big
Island of Hawaii to visit others and relax. As he worked for Raytheon, he
decided to visit one of their sites located there. He told his boss on the
phone that he was going to rent a motorcycle and see the crew.  Apparently,
he was on the way back over the winding S-curves of the upper highway
between Waimea and Kona. I presume Dan may have been traveling in the clouds
or possibly patches of rain at those heights. I can only conclude that
unfamiliarity with the equipment, road and conditions added up to a
disastrous combination. He was not wearing a helmet.

We who knew him and enjoyed this last opportunity to radio contest with him
are still in shock. Surely it couldn't happen to him! Dan was always the
friendly and helpful guy. With great knowledge of running a Multi-Multi
effort from his own station in relatively rare Zone 1. We all benefited from
his presence and contributions. I had the opportunity to visit him and stay
at his house / station on a hill in Wasilla, Alaska. His station showed the
typical simplicity and ingenuity that amateur's show when "home-brewing" a
large
station without spending a fortune. I loved his concept of mowing the tall
grass around his towers...flatten them with his pickup when he turns around.
Hey, it worked. From his inverted Rubbermaid tub to cover some switching
arrangements to his old mobile van outside the house (the one with more
growing in it than in his driveway), Dan's cedar home 'spoke'  ALASKA the
last frontier of our country.

With his white hair and mustache he always looked the part of his well-loved
demeanor, the friendly and kind gentleman. I am sure that the many people
who knew him, had the opportunity to work him and operate with him will
agree. Though I never envied him working on his towers (brrrrr - cold)
compared to the weather at KH7R, I wish I had been able to spend more time
getting to know him better in his element.

Dan, whatever station you're going to operate from up there...I hope it has
the beauty of the Northern Lights, the balmy weather of Hawaii, the
propagation of the Caribbean or HC8 (that we both long for) and all the
'rate' you can handle. We will all miss you for you left us far too soon.
Don't forget to talk to us on 80 and 160 when it seems only KL7Y and KH7R
are on in the Pacific in the middle of the night (we need to keep each other
awake). Safe journey.

Aloha, 73  Kimo Chun, KH7U (one of the gang at KH7R)

**********

My very long time best friend, Dan KL7Y

     I have spoken with Dan's family and asked permission to post the
following information. I have offered to handle any email condolences
regarding Dan KL7Y. I will take them with me to Illinois for the funeral to
give them to his family and long time girl friend. The information is listed
at the bottom. Please pass this to the different reflectors Dan may have
been on.
     I had the very great honor and privilege of knowing and contesting with
Dan from 1979 until his last contest at the KH7R station last week. I recall
looking over at Dan on the 20m station during our last contest together
while he was working EU late at night. He gave me the 'thumbs up' as he
always did from his home station every time. He was having fun. When he left
the KH7R station headed for Kona I told him 'see you next month.' To my
great sorrow this will be my last trip to see my friend Dan.
     This is a great loss to the contesting community, ham radio, and the
lives of many. To those of you who have expressed condolences and inquired
about the services, I say thank you. There are no words that can describe
Dan. But I believe the post from John WA2GO sums Dan up eloquently and
concisely. John is one of the KL7Y contest group who also went to Hawaii for
Dan's last contest.

Yo,
A kinder, more generous gentleman you will not find anywhere. Dan was
Alaska's amateur radio ambassador to the world, was a great elmer, a great
technician, a first class operator, and a touchingly benevolent person. He
happily shared his station and his skills with anyone who wished to be
blessed with his company. He had no secrets, no skeletons, no "bad" side. I
loved that guy, and I will miss him for the rest of my life. He will live on
as an inspiration to anyone who knew him.

73 Danno,

John
WA2GO

Dan was a levi and tshirt kind of guy. The family will be burying him in his
favorite attire. Anyone who can attend the services please know that casual
attire is appropriate.

I was on an Air Force trip to Anchorage in 1993 and called Dan about the 
possibility of joining him for CWSS.  He was delighted to have me join Jon 
NL7GP (now KL2A) and him for the contest.

When I arrived at his place, he and Jon had just finished the tower work, 
performed in subzero weather.  I found Dan to be a unique individual -- a 
tough and determined competitor, but also a warm and gregarious person.

I was overwhelmed by his generosity as he opened his station to this complete 
stranger.  Alaska nights provide long hours with little to do when conditions 
are bad.  
Dan filled the hours with laughter and war stories about his contesting 
experience.

Dan's station reflected his commitment to the hobby.  I hope that somehow 
there will be someone to fill the huge pair of shoes that Dan leaves behind.  
He is a true contesting legend and an exemplary contesting mentor.

Thank you, Dan, we will all miss you.

Paul R. Schaffenberger, K5AF

Subject: [CQ-Contest] An SS Solution  de VY1JA
Message-ID: <002401c2840e$ee61a360$e4096cd8@jallen>

I agree with Pete, N4ZR, and think that no one was being malicious, but just
aggressive because of an overly large desire to get that mug.

What I do not understand is how THAT contest turns some of my good friends
into Mr.Hyde's.  SS is the only one that does it.

Say, perhaps the idea of increasing the sections will do it.  If each
section has the same population as Yukon, 30,000... 300,000,000 divided by
30,000... that would make it about 10,000 sections... That is the answer!  I
hope ARRL is reading cq-contest, just imagine how much paperwork it will
save not having to order mugs.

Please remember in the phone SS contest to treat VY1MB well, as I do not
want him discouraged... He has become a reliable source to draw on for YT
multipliers.

To all of the contesting community, thanks for your friendship.

J.

Only if there aren't enough beverages to around!
You definitely should stock enough beverages so sharing isn't necessary. 
Especially the Coors!

J., I suggest you encourage him to go split, and announce it every 
QSO.  "Up 5" only takes a tenth of a second, and nobody will begrudge him 
the spectrum space.

You should get a coffee urn for working 30000 sections.  Along that line I 
always thought a great contest would be on in which you worked zip codes for 
multipliers. Final score is zips time qsos.  What say?

I've been working with a local fella on getting into "contesting."
Everybody needs an elmer, so it seems.  After much encouragement and proding
on my part, he gave it a go on CW during SS.  Below you will find his
comments.  I've scrubbed his name to eliminate any embarassment.  Comments?

WHOA!  Bad precedent.

Should each operator who considers their section "rare" be allowed to
consume at least twice as much spectrum as everyone else?  How about
KL7__, WB0O, W0SD, VO1__, VE4__, K2NNY, etc?

And, in Houston, TX, you can drive from downtown on Westheimer Road and make
DXCC.

Just be careful of who is on the frequency you're listening on if you go
split. There was an interesting situation Saturday evening in the CW SS
when the 3XY7 DXpedition showed up working split on 40 CW.  He
developed quite a pileup so I guess there were a lot of DXers not
participating in the contest, or some contesters decided to take a little
break and work a new one. 

I listened for a bit; there were stations working the contest on his
listening frequency who tried to work the stations calling the DX.
It was "interesting".

Sounds like fun.

To be sure the east coast retains their usual contest advantages (not my
view, but the view expressed by others in other threads), let's make the
final score the sum of zip codes worked.

Hi Bill,

Now, that sounds like fun.  Just as long as no one "goes postal".  :-)

I wonder whatever happened to the Frostbite Falls Beach Party, which took 
place in the winter? The exchange was the outside temperature and entered
into the scoring.

My QRSs got ignored too. Gave up on that after about 5 times.
No one had to tell me to leave though. I was already gone.

What's with the 30++ wpm code? Does it really help rate?

My key stays out of the box.
I'll learn this hs stuff or go deaf trying!

Comments?

By and large all of us will QRS to help a newbie get a contact, but in
all honesty we may not slow down as much as we think.  In most contests,
especially during 'peak' hours, I run my CW at 32WPM.  I temper that a
little in SS, generally running at 28WPM.  When I get a slooowwww call
from KG6XXX I'll drop down to 20WPM.  To me that speed is glacially slow
and I can just feel my queue of waiting callers evaporate, but in
reality it's STILL possibly 400% too fast for KG6XXX.

Radiosport contesting is a COMPETITION just like golf tournaments,
football games, and NASCAR races.  If you want to play in the Masters
with Tiger Woods, the Super Bowl with Joe Montana, or race Mark Martin
in the Winston 400, you will probably first need to gain some basic
skills in a less competitive environment.  If you don't, someone might
slow down and tell you to "go awy".

Sorry your friend was offended, but perhaps we shouldn't drag people to
the big dance until they've been 'elmered' in a quieter venue.

Unsportsmanlike?  Unspeakable is a better word.  W4KFC usually worked the SS
(at least the last day) at about 20 WPM.  "Go awy" is limiting the number of
contacts that can be made by not slowing down.  Who knows the station that
goes away might be South Dakota, Mississippi, or VY0.  There is NO ROOM in
contesting for the rude operators.  Why don't these guys go to 2 meters and
interfere with repeaters or something?

This guy has got to be a crackpot!!!

Considering how qso's become hard to find on the second day of SS,  I can't
imagine anyone telling him to go away UNLESS he sent his call over and over
and over.  Then I send the report and he again sends call over and over and
I QRS and give entire report and he gives his call over and over and over
and I slow down even more and give the whole report (slow so that it means
I've taken a couple of minutes just to send one report) and he still acts
like he can't figure out his name.  THEN I'd tell him to go away!  I didn't
work anyone like this,  but there has to be more to his story!

Were we were all born sending 45 wpm with a silver key in our fists?  I think 
not!

Just consider - if a 10 wpm QSO takes six times as long as usual to complete, 
it might displace 20 or 30 of those marvelously productive "CQ SS" we all sent 
about, oh, three thousand times on Sunday with no response whatsoever.  On the 
other hand, the potential for THOUSANDS of CW contacts has now been effectively 
removed from the contest community.

Yes, I fidgeted through a dozen or so really S-L-O-W contacts, but I didn't 
lose my frequency.  One was a needed multiplier from the Midwest.  On two, 
somebody sent "?" over the QSO, but I was able to send "AS" right back at 35 
wpm and never missed a beat.  I would have loved to have more slow folks call 
in on Sunday when the bands were full of CQ machines (mine included).

Please - choke down the adrenaline just a tad and get some perspective on what 
it must be like to try to enter our sacred CW lovefests.  You, too, were once 
slow and poked along at 13.001 wpm.  But it didn't kill the Gods of Contesting 
to slow down for your one measly QSO filled with errors and repeats.

There is nearly always room in the contest for the new, the old, the casual.  
It's not the Olympics.

A certain level of proficiency is required even to get your feet wet,
apparently he has not yet reached that. Perhaps it would be better to assist
him in improving his CW skills first.

I've operated the CW SS for several years from N5XU multi-ops, and it's
about the only CW contest operating I do all year, aside from occasional 
CW QSOs in the VHF contests or hunting states in the ARRL 160.  I can 
go pretty comfortably at 17WPM now, but beyond that I get into trouble.

My experience is that trying to S&P is a complete waste of time.  The 
exchange is so long that the amount of time necessary to try to copy
enough bits and pieces to make the whole thing and have any hope of 
getting the serial number right is too much.  So, I always climb way up 
to the top of the band and call CQ at 15WPM or 16WPM.

My experience calling CQ at 15 or 16 WPM in the CW Sweepstakes is that 
almost nobody will slow down to meet my speed.  Usually, I'm facing CW going
at over 20WPM, and at best someone will come down to 18WPM or so.  This 
year, I made very few QSOs because I had too much else going on over the 
weekend, but I had one station call me at well over 30WPM.  I called CQ again.
Again, he sends his call at well over 30WPM.  We did this THREE TIMES before 
he gave up.  I had but one station answer my CQ at my own speed, and it was
the one station I didn't need to ask for a fill on the exchange.

I've done this for several years now, made several hundred QSOs in total, 
enough to know that this year is no fluke.  CW contesters in the Sweepstakes 
will generally speaking not QRS, and when they do, they will not QRS all 
the way down to match your speed if you're going under 20WPM.  They will not 
do this even if you are the one calling CQ and setting the expected speed.  
They will not do this even if you are the one calling CQ and you explicitly 
asked them to QRS.

Other contests may be less like this.  The ARRL 160 Contest, for example, 
I think is quite different.  But CW SS is not a good contest for a QRS CW 
operator - it is quite hostile.

I know what you mean, Don.

I tend to send at around 29-31 unless asked to slow down (happened once this
weekend) or I feel the station calling me at a slower speed needs the slower
speed.

I ran a little test here using this exchange at different speeds:

K5RC 733 Q KG5U 59 STX

15wpm = 18s
20wpm = 14s
25wpm = 12s
30wpm = 10s
35wpm = 8s

While there's not much time difference between sending the exchange at 30
and 25 wpm's, it sure does seem like 25wpm takes forever by listening
comparison.

If I sent every exchange at 25 wpm rather than 30 wpm, that 2 second
difference would really add up over the number of QSO's made during the
contest: 2 * 773 = 1546 seconds = 25.8 minutes.

If a station averages a QSO rate of 60 QSO's an hour (one a minute) during
the contest (not me!), that's 26 QSO's.

There have been placques awarded and top-ten box appearances missed based on
smaller QSO differences than that.

All one needs to do is ask me to QRS and I will.

Maybe that was the Gent's problem - his key is "in the box" way too often... 
Can't expect to drop a rookie in the Indy 500 & do well, without many, many 
practice laps to get them up to speed.
Same thing in this instance. Sorry if he felt that way...
I'm not even sure if I can QRS to "low-code" anymore. By the time I sent to

So, how do you add up the zip codes?

:)

In all seriousness, there WAS an actual ZIP CODE CONTEST when I was first
prowling the pages of QST for operating events in the early 70s.  I operated
it.  I probably have a certificate around here somewhere.  I don't recall
how it was scored.

Wish I knew who this pea-brain was that said "go awy"!  I had the "alt-v" on 
NA set for 22wpm, instead of usual 32. I had several guys call in very slow,  
& made use of the alt-v for them. I know they were tickled to make a Q, & I 
was very happy for them to call!  Takes all kind ,I guess. Just shooting

I'm sorry there are a few jerks out there, but really don't think that was 
representative.  I didn't hear anything like that, and heard a number of 
big dogs slowed down to 13 WPM.  I also didn't have a single station ask me 
to QRS, though a few obviously had trouble copying till I slowed 'way 
down.  I was glad to.

My best advice for a new guy would be to wait till Sunday afternoon, when 
everyone has slowed down, and people are fishing on the high end of the 
bands.  It's much more rewarding and less intimidating than the first few 
hours.  The designated slow zones high in the bands also aren't so crowded 
as on Saturday night, when the mob spreads far up the band.

Whoever did that is an embarrassment to our sport.  Shame.

I suppose it's possible Ford's new CW-op apprentice who apparently just took
his key out of the box because he said "I stuck my key back in the box",
might not have copied the code well enough, and may not have been told "go
awy."

But my wife says I am an eternal optimist.

That's unfortunate...

However, it's hard to use a large CW contest like SS to start learning 
Morse code at speed.

That said, he should have done a few things:
1) Go very high in the band and answer slow stations or call CQ at your 
own rate.
2) Send at a rate no faster than what you expect the other station to send 
back to you.  The station you are calling should slow down to match your 
speed (to a large extent) if they answer you. 
3) If that doesnt work for you, dont bother copying the exchange (and dont 
submit a log).  Get the callsign before you call, try to copy what you can 
and then send your exchange back promptly  when it's time.  (Of course, 
this wont help SMC if that's the goal ;} )

If all else fails, wait til Sunday afternoon during the football games and 
almost anyone will slow down to work a new Q!

FWIW, I've been conscious of this code-speed thing for years.  I was 
surprised that most folks were at 32 or below, even on Saturday night.  I 
spent Saturday at a base speed of 29, and Sunday mostly at 26.  QRSed a lot 
without being asked, which is a good thing, because I never was asked, even 
though some guys couldn't copy at my base speed.

Thats how you improve- by working the contest! I'm no speed demon and simply
didnt work guys who wouldnt slow down- Happily, I found most did- and noting the
calls, they are the higher scorers- In 2 instances, the running station I called
slowed down to below 5 WPM to make a point- He lost my Q and wasted time-
Now, I'm good to around 30WPM,  but some of the stations were running crazy
speeds- and ironically, they were NOT the normal high scorers.
Dont blame the victim here- either slow down to the callers pace or lose the Q.
FWIW-

Evidently you had reached a level of proficiency that made that possible.
Just having ordinary (non contest) QSOs is another method of increasing CW
profiency. How about a guy who is just at the stage of learning the alphabet
in terms of dits and dahs, by your arguement he too should be using contests
to improve.

I think just about everyone would slow down for someone if they asked, 
especially Sunday afternoon.  But I wonder, how many would slow down to 5 
WPM?  Remember, that is the code speeed of the newbies...even newbie extras.

The exchange of KG4XYZ Nr 1234 B K4XS 62 WCF would take about 50 seconds and 
the return exchange would take another 50 seconds to receive....almost two 
minutes, if no repeats were required.  Honestly, how many of the big guns 
would do that in the first hour of the contest when they are running a 100 
hour?  Whatdya think?

While I know that newbies can be overwhelmed by
the 'speed merchants' on contests.. I have just
one observation to make..

I wonder if, in the future, that when we ELMER a
newbie (or an 'oldbie' that has been away from
the game for a while) into the contesting fold
that we have him/her either sit WITH us as we
operate so we can help themovercome such
occassionas as this new guy experienced OR we can
jump into hold their hand until they get thier
'Contest legs'.

Just a thought. I'm not saying what was done was
wrong, I wasn't there and I don't know the guy or
his situation.. but I, personally, have always
had a newbie/oldbie sit alongside me or some
other experienced hand to get their feet wet and
get over the jitters.

Just a thought.

Sort of like getting your feet wet on your first DXpedition by going to
Heard Island?

I'd really like to go on a DXpedition some day, but I think I'll get some
experience by going somewhere like Antigua, Bahamas or St. Kitts.  Perhaps
a new contester could get his code speed up by participating in smaller
contests.

Then again, it's attitude that counts ... if you really want to learn
something, you ignore the setbacks.

For SS Phone, how about working split transmitting just below the US phone
band on 10, 15 and 20 and listening up. Yeah, a little unorthodox, and the
pileup won't be that big because not many will find you there, but that's
the idea isn't it.

Interesting chart Dale.

I tend to slow down quite a bit if the station calling has a long
unrecognized call or if they are sending slowly. That is sometimes, but not
always. Nobody asked me to QRS.  Some of those 30 and 40 check guys using
chirpy breadboard rigs and bugs can't send past 20 words a minute, but they
can copy upwards of 50 I'd venture to say. As Jay eluded to, in S&P mode in
every contest but the Sprint, you can listen prior to as well as after
making a "contact" to see if you got the right info. That may not be the way
it's supposed to be done, but we've all done it on occasion. That's why the
sprints are the true test of operating ability, there's no sandbagging, but
the reason I like SS is that it has everything.

*You get the rate of Saturday (great fun)
*You have the intrigue of wondering whether to run or search for mults early
on
*It has a fixed number of mults equalizing the battle field somewhat
*It tests your perseverence on Sunday
*It allows anyone from anywhere who enters the game late to taste the frenzy
of a mondo pileup without going on a DXpedition. (We should market this
'fresh meat' appeal of sweepstakes by taking out Sunday tv adverts to be run
during halftimes of the ballgames--does anybody on here work for the brewing
industry?).
*and about a buzillion other aspects of ss


It always seems uncanny how fast the code sounds after QRSing down to around
20wpm and then ramping back up to 30+wpm. Likewise, going from 36 wpm (after
milking a ten deep pile dry) and dropping down to 30 wpm makes the 30wpm
seem like trying to run in a swimming pool--it's sloooowww. I guess that's
why N0AX in his email of last week suggested that newcomers code speeds
would double if they'd only get on and operate.


snip--------------------------
I ran a little test here using this exchange at different speeds:

K5RC 733 Q KG5U 59 STX

15wpm = 18s
20wpm = 14s
25wpm = 12s
30wpm = 10s
35wpm = 8s

One factor which I believe played a part in the frenzy over NWT and NL 
during SS CW this past weekend was due to the bad radio conditions which 
were forecast for Sunday.  VY1JA himself said (paraphrased) "If you hear me 
Saturday work me" which was a legitimate concern but may have fueled the fire.

I know at our K8CC multi the bad Sunday forecast made us eager to work any 
of the less than common VE sections.  The specter of disturbed condx seemed 
all too possible when the first few VE6s and VE7s we worked were not loud 
at all and spots for VE4s and VE5s were barely audible here.  Nonetheless, 
VE1OP had a good signal and was easily worked early on 21 MHz, and both 
VY1JA and KL7XX had decent signals when worked the first night on 28 MHz.

Its always interesting to note which section multipliers turn out to be the 
hardest to get.  K5ZD and others missed NL, while we had three call 
us.  Too bad we can't set aside the spares for another contest :-)

Hi Ford,

I hope you pass these and other's comments on to your friend.

It is indeed regrettable that this experience occured. If someone did tell
him to "go awy" that person deserves a huge raspberry for behaviour not only
unbecoming a contester but also unbecoming any member of the human race.

That said, there's never just one side to any situation. It deserves mention
that contesting is unlike any other facet of ham radio. It is to the casual
operator what The Masters is to a Sunday duffer. The people who play
contests do so to win. It's not your average Sunday afternoon gab fest.

That's not to excuse the rude, callous behaviour identified but it does
exhort the newbie to be sensitive to the realities at play. If an op is
running stations at 100/hr, he is going to pick out calls at 35 wpm faster
than calls at 10 wpm, so a newbie could be left waiting for the pileup to
calm down. This weekend, I had completed my report to one station before
another, slower op, had finished sending his call. I wasn't deliberately
snubbing the QRS op, it just happened that way.

Now, when we do work someone who requests a QRS we should, and I think in
large measure do. There are exceptions to every rule, a bad apple in every
bushel, etc. Be that as it may, I don't QRS unless asked or if I'm answering
a QRS CQ. Invariably, I'll answer a 15 wpm call at 28 and encounter no
resistance. So it's a bit of a gamble on my part that I won't have to send
it again, but 9 out of 10 it pays off. It at least pays off enough to make
up for the odd QSO where I do have to send again. It's also a gamble that
the person will tell me if he missed something, but I think that's a fairly
safe bet.

To Ford's friend: Please don't base your opinion on contesting on this
weekend alone. I do think the suggestions that perhaps you were in over your
head are fair. Work on your code speed (SuperMorse is a great CW trainer,
you can find downloads on the Web). Listen to other contests, even phone
contests, to get a feel for how contest QSOs operate. They are different.
Practise in smaller contests, like state QSO parties. Practise code by
operating casually. This will help develop not only speed but also the
biological QRM filter that is so vital to operating in today's bands.
Realize that QRM happens. We all deal with it and nobody is targetting you
with QRM. Try to align yourself with multiops who can Elmer you personally
during slower times.

It takes time, but it IS worth it. Unfortunately, playing SS as your first
contest is a bit like putting on roller skates for the first time and
expecting to keep up with the Roller Derby crowd. SS is a juggernaut that
moves at breakneck speed.

73, kelly

Yes.  They should do whatever they feel they need to in order to deal with
the pileup.

In many cases, this would be highly preferable to the nonsense that happens
during a high desperation pileup.

Your point is taken- But at the same time, by your argument, you can
forget the 20-30% of contest qso's that come from  guys who never send in
logs- they're there to participate- and they make up lots of q's! Let's at
least give em a shot-
And I dont think a guy who is barely learning dits and dahs is who we're
talking about - its the guys that are good to 15-20WPM but cant handle
40+- Be careful not to disclude these guys from the fun of playing the
game--

Message-ID: <20021105041840.12293.qmail@mail.dallastec.com>

Here's my experience learning "contest code".  I call it "contest code" 
because I know I can't keep up with 30wpm in conversational CW, but for the 
short bursts in contests, my brain can usually handle it.

My first experience with high speed contest style CW was on field day 
several years ago.  Two very proficient CW ops were running, one working the 
stations, the other logging and duping.  Filters wide open, no headphones.  
Sounded like a mess to me.  My meager 13 words per minute I had passed the 
week before seemed woefully inadequite. 

Even though I was very intimidated, I sat down and listened for a while, 
catching about 1 letter out of 10.  After a while I started to pick up on 
the rhythm of the QSO's and was recognizing patterns (like there was our 
callsign, followed by some number, then some letters). 

I was just getting up to leave, when the guy logging said he had to take a 
break and would I sit down and log.  I said there was no way, but the guy 
running the stations said he would call out what I needed to write down.  So 
off I went, pretending to hear what was being copied.  The op turned on the 
narrow filter, and suddenly I heard only 1 signal instead of 10.  Whoa, I 
could actually copy a little better now, maybe getting 1 character out of 5. 

This lasted for probably half an hour or so.  We had a great run frequency.  
I was starting to catch the first parts of callsigns (not too hard when you 
only have to listen for A,K,N,W), and the first part of exchanges.  I was 
impressed with myself.  Aparently so was the op, because he suddenly said he 
had to go to the restroom, pushed the key in front of me and turned down the 
keyer speed a little. 

WHOA!  There was someone else in the tent now, and he offered to log and 
help copy.  What was nice is that he made me work for it.  I was asking for 
fills, repeats, etc. at probably 20wpm.  I worked guys for probably an hour 
after that, progressivly getting better at my copy. 

The next week I went and passed my 20wpm, which I thought I'd never get! 

This past weekend I had writelog set at 28WPM, which is now fairly 
comfortable for my skills with "contest code". 

I guess what worked best for me was being thrown into the thick of things 
along with having some backup that made everything workable for both me and 
the calling stations. 

Hope these insights help, and hopefully your rookie CW contester won't give 
up.  Get a Y adapter for the headphone jack and work the next CW contest 
with this guy, one working the stations, one logging.  Then trade off!

I don't believe the subject is "guys that are good to 15-20WPM". A guy at
that speed would be able to get on and make contacts and would likely
improve rapidly. I have to think the guy that this thread is about is not up
to that level.

------------------------------
One of the problems is the minimum speed that the program will allow
you to go. I think CT will maybe go as slow as 16 WPM, but others will
not.

I love cw, but I am also legally deaf...if you consider -82db
down...And it's not going to get any better.
This may have been my last SSCW.

I can still do 30-35 , but noticed this year it was a lot harder. Plus
the headphones were practically
vibrating at the audio I had cranked in.

And all the denials are a bunch of crap! This has and will continue to
be a problem now that the CW requirements have been practically
eliminated.

Maybe we can come up with a gentleman's agreement that at 60 kHz up
from the bottom, the speed limit is
lower! Say 20-25...

Perhaps if we recognize this as a problem, we can work on it.

I guess there are at least two way to do Seach and Pounce: 

1)  Go up and down the band: if a station is working someone, tune by and
find the next guy calling CQ and hope that the next time down the band the
guy you skipped is still there and not in a QSO again.

2) Go up and down the band; if you encounter someone in a QSO wait till
he's done and then call him.

I did some of #1 but mostly #2.  Might as well enter the data from his
current QSO while I'm waiting my turn.  I don't think that violates any
rules.

Mr. Elmer you get 90% of the blame for this problem Why didn't you start him
out on WAE and sending QTC's. Then not only would he give up CW contesting
but he would have probably had to change his shorts. I've been at this CW
contesting stuff a long time and the accepted rule of thumb,in the past, has
ALWAYS been whatever speed the guy is calling CQ at is the speed of the
contact. Every year, Every year, I run across K0RF calling CQ in excess if
35 WPM. I answer him at that speed, out of respect to him, we send each
other the exchange and I move on. Boys and girls you have 363 days a year to
learn CW, at a reasonable speed, and practice your CW operating technique.
Saturday and Sunday, of SSCW weekend,  is NOT time to learn how to send CW
or how to contest.

Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.2.20021105073401.00a85590@pop.dc2.adelphia.net>

I'm trying to figure out my SS CW performance this year, while everything 
is still fresh.

In that connection, it seems to me that, at least for those of us East of 
the Mississippi, it's really two contests -- before and after the big break 
in the wee hours of Sunday morning.  I think a good metric would be to 
relate the first off time to the number of QSOs at that point, and compare 
to the total.

I'd like to compile some data in this respect, and will share the result 
with the reflector.  If you'd like to help, please send me the following 
direct, and I'll massage the figures and post them:

1 -- when did you take your break (Z)?
2 -- how many QSOs did you have at that point?
3 -- when did you resume in the morning (Z)?
4 -- how many total QSOs did you have for the contest?

As an example, my responses are:

1 -- 0717
2 -- 606
3 -- 1150
4 -- 1117

Thanks in advance!

Message-ID: <ADEJKJINLBKGMNGALFCFGEIAEFAA.W2CS@bellsouth.net>

I think Jim might have a good point here.

My son's first SS was right after he was a newly annointed General class op.
His code speed was solid at 10, good enough at 13, and 15 was ok.  We did an
multiop on SS.  He listened to me doing the first several hours and then
took a turn.

What I had him do was park on a CQer's frequency and copy the exchange. I
didn't care how long he took.  He also had to copy the last QSO's number and
write it down, too, before he called the guy.  This was when we still used
keyers/paddles, so he then had to call the guy at whatever sending speed he
could muster. That started out around 18, I'd say.  Remember, his code speed
was a shaky 15 at the time.  But all he had to copy was enough of what was
being sent to know when it was his turn to send and also when/whether a fill
was needed.

By the time SS was over, his code speed on receive was at least 25 and
probably 30.  Sending was in the same ball park.  On most Qs he no longer
had to wait several iterations to get the exchange, either.  The last few
hours he even had some runs going. It did take him a while to grab the
courage for that first CQ SS!

The point of this narrative is that motivation, expectations, and coaching
from a mentor are all crucial to success.  He thought he couldn't keep up;
so I gave him a way he could make Qs without the pressure (pre-copying).
This was exquisite code practice, but I didn't "sell" it that way.  His
expectations, once he heard me operate, were appropriately low, so that was
never an issue.  As for motivation...Have you ever issued a challenge to a
13 year old boy? !!

And you know, I didn't even have to "throw away" that SS from award
possibilities.  We ended up taking the Division!  And he did a fair amount
of operating.

I believe it is entirely possible for someone with 15wpm talent to succeed
in coming close to doubling code speed in a single contest.  But, it
requires a mentor to help out, IMHO, and it requires motivation on the part
of the newbie.  I have often found that motivation and the mentor's approach
are closely related.

I am a bit skeptical regarding someone with only a "familiarity with the
code"  (aka 5WPM) to succeed as my son did starting at 13.  Though with
computers to do the sending, it might work to some extent. In that case I'd
use the same approach, but pick a smaller contest, as others have suggested.

Maybe if many of us went multi-op with newbies we would find more Qs to work
the next year.

One thing I always do after SS is to filter my log for all the QSO's with 
checks more recent than a couple of years and send them QSL card with the 
PSE QSL box not checked. Maybe it will help some newer hams join in the fun 
again next time. It can't hurt and is just a few $'s very well spent, I think.

This idea was not mine originally, I believe it was first mentioned here a 
few years ago by someone.

Again, thanks for all the fun and Q's last weekend!

Quack's    .02
I think that we are loosing Many newbies becauz of CW speed.  A friend and
his XYL both hams said that they got on during CQWW CW to try to work some.
The major problem, was they couldn't even get the call signs of the CQers  .
They both do CW around 15 wpm.
CW is a dying art and its going to have less and less of us to carry on,
I'm not a speed deamond. but when I call some stations that are CQing at 32
,  they seem to think they should come back to me at 40.  I do get the info
sometime but, that guy setting there trying to figure out his call and the
exchange info just got lost again.    I'm as guilty as the next guy in
cranking at 34/36 w/CQ SS, however I do slow down to the speed that somone
calls.

Last was KL7XX   78=WY  79=VE4   From  Illinois.
No fair changing the section in your logs now.

I'm sure there are some contesters that in some situations might tell a 
slow op to "go away" (and we don't know the full story on that) but it 
seems to me that Ford's apprentice was in over his head and not very 
enthusiastic to begin with (only after "much encouragement and proding" did he 
get on).

Perhaps he was looking for an excuse to stick his key "back in the 
box".  Sounds like CW isn't his "thing" and maybe he just doesn't *get* 
contesting.  My guess is that this "attempt" at Sweepstakes only 
reaffirmed his dislike of contests.

Message-ID: <20021105083136.6AA4.WINDEV@inetmarket.com>

Hey All,

Well, I'm sorry to hear that a newbie was treated rudely
by a contest op.  Sorry to say, but there are rude people
in any section of society.

I had a lot of fun this weekend, operating my favorite mode,
working a bunch of people who really know how to use a mode
that makes ham radio a unique hobby.  Yep, I went fast... CQing
at 35wpm, sometimes up to 38...  I had only ONE station ask for
a QRS, which he got immediately.  Even a guy sending a check of
44 (Not a club), sending on a straight key, or another with a 
check of 01, got my exchange 100% without a QRS.

It's a great pleasure working such skilled CW ops -- with very little
need for fills -- kinda like working 1RN back in the 70s and running a
ton of traffic without a single fill.  CW Contesters are a special breed!

I bet lots of newbies practice their CW skills by LISTENING to the high
speed guy, getting his basic info (maybe taking listening to 5 or 6 Qs),
then dumping in their call. (That's the way I did it many moons ago.)

Nope, I didn't get a sweep, and it's certainly not my best score --
only on for 11 hours -- but I had fun in one of THE best contests
around.  I can't wait till next year!

About 67K, 77 sections -- missed ME, WY, NL  -- Anybody else have
trouble with Maine?

KE1FO's description reminded me of something...

I learned CW memorizing dots & dashes with that bloody ARRL book.

Luckily, WB7DSI (now N7CF) demonstrated that after some operating
(Viking II & SX-101, w/SX-101 later replaced by some right whizbang
kit like an NC-300 & SB-301) I could easily copy the sidetone of his
Heathkit keyer (HD-1410?) at 15 wpm over the telephone, when I thought
double-digit speeds were impossible.

Somewhere around that time I recall trying to crack pile ups but the
mute switch on the receiver, B+ switch on the Viking & the knife switch
for the antenna were a little too much for late-70s DXing.

I believe there is a company with a four-letter brand name for footwear
that has a slogan that is applicable here: just do it.

Once upon a time, the guys we all look to today were the clueless gits
we are today.

Thats a shame, it sounds like he found the bad apple in the barrel.  I would
say that 99% of us would have slowed down.

I have my external keyer setup for slower speeds just for this reason.  I
find its easier to go to my paddle rather than change the speed on the pc
with a shift f9/f10.

As others have stated, throwing a newbie into SS wasn't a good idea. 
It has the most complex exchange of any major contest, as well as 
mostly seasoned ops. You wouldn't throw a newbie into a Sprint, would 
you? 

A state QSO party would have been a better choice. An even better 
choice would have been telling the newbie to first operate casual CW 
to become more proficient before trying his hand in a contest.

Just because the FCC has dumbed down licensing requirements doesn't 
mean we have to dumb down our operating abilities and acquiesce to 
mediocrity.

I would QRS if someone asked, but I'm typically not a speed demon on 
the sending end (just the receiving end), and I can't recall anyone 
ever asking.

    Methinks I detect some cw "elitism" here which is precisely why I gave up 
on the CW Sprint - too many cw elitists who weren't interested in slowing 
down or giving me the information I asked for. 

    CW SS should NOT be for hotshot cw ops only. I thought we were trying to 
encourage more activity.

Gang,

I just got back from driving 14 hours yesterday after working from
Lander, WY as a Q station.  I am posting a long report to QRP-L
and there will be a write up in World Radio, but here are a couple
of hints.

1.  Don't worry about the sections.  Work stations and they will
      come. {they ---  the sections}   On Sunday I was short
      ME and WY and 3 Canadian sections and you know those by
      heart by now.  :-)  I got a frequency (very difficult for a Q station)
      and made a short run on several bands and had ME and WY
      call me (WY was the other Q station in the state).

      I was hoping VY1JA was going to standby for Qs on the half-hour
      like he had in the past but the 10 meter pileup was large and so was
      the one just down the band for VO1MP.  QUESTION.  How do these
      guys work each other?

2.  Tree's comment about the unique stations brings up an interesting
      point.  I worked a couple of stations late Sunday.  They were giving
      out low serial numbers, so they just got started.  The thing that scares
      the stuffings out of me is that these guys are using bugs.  They could
      not send the same set of numbers twice!!!  Now I stopped and listened
      to three exchanges by the same station that I worked.  I will lose two
      Qs because I get credited with a bad exchange when I copied what he
      sent.  Next year from WY I may chose to not work anyone not using
      a computer for this reason.  I still don't know which one was the 
right one.

      Tree.  Does the computer check routine do anything about this?



>Present score for 2002 -----  85,008 points from WY.  Thanks to all you
guys and girls that worked the weak one with portable antennas in -15F
weather (I was inside but it was cold anyway and you put up antennas
in 0 degree weather and you know what I mean.)  :-)

I agree that newcomers need to be treated gently. I'm one myself. On the 
other hand, it is sometimes too easy for a newbie to be discouraged. 
Persistence, as it says in the Bible, pays off.

During SS, I started out Sat afternoon despairing of ever reading the calls 
and exchanges because they were sent at way over my 10-15 wpm speed. 
However, by that evening, either the senders had slowed somewhat or my 
ability to read had improved.

In fact, I began to look on the contest as fast code practice. I would hear 
a station and sit on its frequency as it exchanged with others. When I had 
all of the info, or all but one of the exchange items, I would call--with 
my hand key. Most ops realized that they were dealing with a 
less-than-great fist, and responded accordingly. Over the few hours I 
operated (after several hours of listening) I logged 15 QSOs. And I got all 
of the info correct, I think.

So my advice to a newbie would be either to sit beside someone for a 
while--but that can be daunting if the op is a 45-wpm type--or, better yet, 
use the SS and such as an opportunity to try reading fast code. One 
advantage of these CW contests is that the ops in the contest are almost to 
a man (woman) first rate and it is a pleasure to listen to good code.

So newbies, do not be discouraged.

73,
John, W3ULS

I dont agree that we are losing newbies directly because of CW speed. 
There is just less interest and incentive in learning the code to start 
with....it has no more commercial/military viability.  You have to want to 
do it for JUST for fun and games now, which isnt enough incentive for most 
to become literate, let alone highly proficient.

It seems the average WPM speed is slowly dropping, with guys sending at 
over 35 wpm the exception rather than the rule as it used to be...

I think it would real interesting to see what happened if QSO's got 
deleted from the log if EITHER station messed up the exchange.  Right now 
there is no incentive for the fast guy to slow down and/or correct 
mistakes  once he has HIS exchange copied...   Most will take the time, 
but I'm sure some dont.

I also felt that activity from the NE was down quite a bit, but perhaps 
that was just band conditions.  I'm not used to hearing stations up and 
down the East coast on all bands almost all the time!

Quack's    .02
I think that we are loosing Many newbies becauz of CW speed.  A friend and
his XYL both hams said that they got on during CQWW CW to try to work 
some.
The major problem, was they couldn't even get the call signs of the CQers 
.
They both do CW around 15 wpm.
CW is a dying art and its going to have less and less of us to carry on,
I'm not a speed deamond. but when I call some stations that are CQing at 
32
,  they seem to think they should come back to me at 40.  I do get the 
info
sometime but, that guy setting there trying to figure out his call and the
exchange info just got lost again.    I'm as guilty as the next guy in
cranking at 34/36 w/CQ SS, however I do slow down to the speed that somone
calls.

Last was KL7XX   78=WY  79=VE4   From  Illinois.
No fair changing the section in your logs now.

At home I still send CW with a keyer/paddle.
I have op'd Field Day and other contests
at other places with the local club I used
to be with and used the computer (NA in our case) 
to send the exchange, call CQ, etc.  The 
difference is like night and day, especially
in removing sending mistakes, but also in speed
of handling the exchange.

Operating SS this last weekend with hand keying
was a bear, no doubt about it.  And I'm resolved
to add computer keying to my arsenal.

I'm surprised that no one has suggested this
possibility to the "slow" ops - using the
computer to at least send the code for you.
With the other S&P technique of listening to
an exchange or two ahead of your calling to get
the exchange, and then letting the computer
send your call and exchange at the faster 
speed of the other operator would solve many a
new operator's problems and anxiety.

I knew what I was getting into this last weekend.
I suspect the person we are all writing about
did not.  I, too, would second the notion that
this operator should have started in state QSO
parties and the like first.  I also support the
idea of local contesting clubs formed with a 
major idea of elmering new contest operators.
That is what I had where I used to live - it
helped me alot.

Cheers/73 from Iowa,

I find this debate interesting. I agree that slowing 
down is important and the guy who said "go away" was rude. 
Myself, I always tried to match the speed of my caller albeit
I probably could have gone even slower.

Then again, was the offended party really a contesting prospect?

I remember getting into CW contesting. High speeds were frustrating
to me as well. Yet, I WANTED to be a CW contester. I WANTED to be 
part of (what I consider) an elite subsection of the hobby. I 
knew that I had to pay my dues and gain experience. I even did 
some of things mentioned on this thread (as we all have)

 1) copying data down BEFORE calling (and AFTER)
 2) sitting beside better CW ops with an extra pair of headphones

That's because I WANTED to be a CW contester.

Just two weeks ago, I did my first big SSB (CQWW) contest - those same 
frustrations came over me again. I started all over the same way, 
Listening to CQers over and over until I got the call and sitting 
in with an experienced SSB operator to learn the ropes. I was contantly
shaking my head (how'd you get that call?). It's a whole new skill set 
but I'm not throwing in the towel. (It's funny, I never see anybody 
complain about SSB contest speed but they talk fast and not very clearly.)

Radio contesting is a unique sport. Not many sports let the newcomer
or even the casual player jump in with the big boys. We allow 
competitors and non-competitors to play. We have casual's looking 
for a new state/country, guys looking to win it all, and everything in
between. And then, on top of it, we want it to be fun and equal for 
everybody. :>)  That's because we who love the sport want to spread the
excitement we feel. 

Yes, we need new blood. Yes, we need to encourage sportmanship and
good behavior. But sometimes, we try to sell this sport to others
that it will just not EVER appeal too. Me, I will never golf. Can't
see any appeal in it. My friends tell me it's a great sport. I believe
them - it just doesn't strike my fancy. 

I suggest that our friend who is putting the key away in it's box may 
never have enjoyed CW contesting - even at 13WPM. Not everybody is a 
CW contester. He may have just tried it and decided he didn't like it. 
Fortunately, this is a hobby with many facets. 

I hope he can find one he does enjoy.

In-Reply-To: <00b301c284d2$ba0f5200$7311153f@hewlettykbipll>
Message-ID: <LOBBKFICDFPNLHBMOBDKEEKIGEAA.k0luz@topsusa.com>


There seems to be an assumption that there are a number of hams who would
like to operate contests but are afraid of the fast cw speeds.  I agree that
speeds are getting faster.  Back in stone age times (for me ...... late
50's,  hand keys and semi-automatic keyers (bugs) were the norm and it is
tough to send 35 wpm on a hand key or a bug.  Someone mentioned that W4KFC
always sent at 20 wpm and that's probably right because that was consider
the normal 'fast' back in those days.  Then we went to electronic keyers and
then to memory keyers and the sending got faster.  And you know what???  The
operators got used to receiving faster too!  So now we have this layer of
hams who grew up through these transistions and can handle it and we have
the hams that have no idea how to get up to the speeds we now use.  That's
why I heard no more than 50 contacts with a check of 95 or later with  qso
contacts of over 1000.  So what to do?

Some things have been tried such as suggesting that these operators move up
to the high end of the band and have their own 'slow' contest and when us
speed demons go up there we are suppose to notch our keyers back to their
speeds.  Noooooooo   problem,  but then I don't hear hardly anyone up there!
So here are some possible conclusions:

1.      The newbies are afraid to call CQ
2.      The newbies don't really give a damn about contesting (Quake is better 
on
Internet)
3.      We aren't doing a very good job of promoting the 'slow zone'

If there are indeed plenty of people who 'want' to operate slowly,  then
there ought to be fun just working each other at the beginning of the
contest and then make sure they all understand that on Sunday afternoon and
evening,  there will be many more stations who were previously not listening
that high in the band that will respond to their cq's.

I guess we need to get our marketing division working on this!

Quack's    .02
I think that we are loosing Many newbies becauz of CW speed.  A friend and
his XYL both hams said that they got on during CQWW CW to try to work some.
The major problem, was they couldn't even get the call signs of the CQers  .
They both do CW around 15 wpm.
CW is a dying art and its going to have less and less of us to carry on,
I'm not a speed deamond. but when I call some stations that are CQing at 32
,  they seem to think they should come back to me at 40.  I do get the info
sometime but, that guy setting there trying to figure out his call and the
exchange info just got lost again.    I'm as guilty as the next guy in
cranking at 34/36 w/CQ SS, however I do slow down to the speed that somone
calls.

Last was KL7XX   78=WY  79=VE4   From  Illinois.
No fair changing the section in your logs now.

I agree we need to look for more activity,  but if this is a contest and
contest are there to 'compete',  a qso that can be completed in 18 seconds
(assuming there are more stations standing by or will be quickly acquired)
is better than a qso taking 45 seconds.  And since most of us are optimist
(there is another station standing by to work me and if it takes too long,
the station will tune up the band),  quicker qso's are better!

    Methinks I detect some cw "elitism" here which is precisely why I gave
up
on the CW Sprint - too many cw elitists who weren't interested in slowing
down or giving me the information I asked for.

    CW SS should NOT be for hotshot cw ops only. I thought we were trying to
encourage more activity.

Cheers,
Steve     K7LXC

After a good chuckle at the riposte, it remains good advice.  No one is 
required to stay on a particular frequency.  If the mob gets too unruly - MOVE! 
 The best I've ever heard this done was by W6NV at SU2MT a few years ago.  When 
the rate dropped by about half, Oliver just moved up 2 kHz.  The receiver-less 
idiots just stayed there calling, while he called CQ once or twice and had a 
new pileup going at the new spot.  By the time scenario A repeated, the 
original frequency had cleared out, so back he went.  His overall rate remained 
much higher than if he'd stayed put.

Reinforcing a point made by others earlier - if there are specific instructions 
that the pileup should follow, repeat them with every QSO.  Whether it's "up", 
"EU", "QRP only", "zeros", whatever - it needs to be said with each QRZ.  
Remember that a fair number of the callers may have just tuned into the action 
and it only takes two or three to make mush out of things.  The small 
inefficiency incurred by the extra characters or syllables is paid back 
handsomely in higher rate, fewer repeats, and lower blood pressure.

73, Ward N0AX

Hmmmm. I thought we always played at contesting JUST for fun and 
games? Sure we want to improve our skills and our station - just so 
that it's even more fun.

As a 100% SSB op, let me humbly offer a suggestion. If you want to 
keep CW alive and thriving, you need to grab on to and WELCOME every 
5wpm newbie who shows up. A certain modest % of those will "get the 
bug" and will progress to become the next generation of serious CW 
contesters. That's what has happened here in central Texas. If you 
are unwilling to slow down in SS, at least make a firm commitment and 
serious effort through your clubs to search out, WELCOME and elmer 
some new 5wpm entrants. If you don't, all those new HF ops will end 
up just like NT5C.

73, John.

The point here is that we should be encouraging newer folks to pursue CW,
instead of discouraging them.  A good CW op should be able to work anyone,
fast or slow.  I've also experienced contest contacts where the op on the
other end would apparently prefer to make zero contacts in two minutes,
rather than make one with me.

Good observations Gerry.

I also had fun, although I did not get to spend enough time operating due to
some family stuff going on this weekend.

I really enjoy it when I call someone that I've probably worked in 20 or 25
CW SS's and they crank *UP* their speed when they know it's me.  I chuckle
every time - and am thankful that I'm still able to copy in "panic" mode.

I have never refused to QRS when asked, and was not asked this weekend.  I
did not exceed 32 WPM except when I was working some old guys I know can
copy faster.

I've been thinking exactly the same thing, especially for Sweepstakes. Of
course, rates would be lower due to QRS and extra fills, you could never be
absolutely sure the other guy got it right, and you lose if the other guy is
a lid. But there would be a heck of a lot more incentive to get it right,
which should be a paradigm of contesting. Besides, all ops would be faced
with the same set of skills on the other side, so the playing field would be
level.

While we're on the subject, the one-letter-wrong-in-the-call thing is kind
of silly -- either he got it right or he didn't. What difference does it
make whether one letter or two are wrong (aside from the fact that
two-letter errors are harder for the log check program to correlate with a
given call)? How many high-speed ops have heard the other guy get one letter
of their call wrong and think, "I'll still get credit for the QSO and it's
not worth my time to correct the call for him"?)

If we justify contesting by claiming that it prepares us for emergency
operations, then we have an obligation to ensure that the rules encourage
accurate communications.

Ok rules buffs, here is one for you.

For the past years, through this reflector, QST, and other magazines,  I
have told people that I find a clear frequency as close to my MUF as
possible and on as close as possible to frequencies that end in 27, 37 and
17  like 28427 and 28327.  I applied this during SS CW and several people
commented that I was exactly where they expected me.  For example, I started
SSCW on 28027 and spent a lot of time working pileup on 28016 ( listening on
28017)

A concern was expressed that this may not be within the spirit of the rules.

As I understand the rules: it is against the spirit of the rules to use non
amateur means to solicit contacts during the contest.  It is also against
the spirit of the rules to schedule contacts.

I feel that since I do not know that any 27 frequency will be clear, and
that I do not know who will or will not find me on that frequency, nor even
if my MUF will allow QSOs on any band, that my actions are entirely within
the spirit of the rules.

By the way, I was told that my signals were weak and watery during SSCW
while your signals were clear and LOUD here.  I think that giving everyone
any clue as to how to find even a weak and watery rare multiplier will make
the contest more enjoyable for all.

Message-ID: <20021105174931.72876.qmail@web13302.mail.yahoo.com>

Greetings!

According to my limited perspective, it seems to
me we have 4 distinct types of ops who get on
during a contest.

1) the hardcore competitive type who will be
there come hell, highwater, aurora, solar flares,
Murphy, football, or meals.  They'll work anyone
anytime anywhere. Can be expected to be on, on
some band, the entire time they are allocated to
be on the air. Newbies, oldbies, and slowbies can
count on having multiple chances to work them. 
These stations can be 'precopied' and the info
saved so that all you have to do is copy the
serial no (SERNO) of their Q, and hit 'ENTER' on
the keyboard to have a valid Q when you DO work
them.  Hard core competitve types tend to not QRS
if calling CQ and you call them. They expect that
stations who answer thier CQ's should be able to
keep up in some reasonable manner. They WILL QRS
(usually) if asked but prefer that stations keep
up with them.  Many times their hand key/external
keyer is set to a slowerspeed for just this
purpose in case they need to hand key an exchange
or part of one.  They tend to think that if one
is entering the SS, once should expect that there
is a minimum level of competency expected and if
new or unsure one should expect to need help or
to be willing to put up with the expected higher
level of required ability.

2) The competitive type who wants to do well in
some personal category but will adapt to the
conditions at their own station/life. They are
usually on quite a bit, but they'll QSY/QRT
depending on personal needs or mood.  Newbies,
oldbies, and slowbies  can expect to find them
on, more often than not, but should try to work
them as they find them. Exchange can be
'precopied' like #1 but availbale opportunities
to do so may be limited or sporadic.  Same
logging scenario. Copy current SERNO, insert
precopied info, hit Enter and done.  They tend to
be very flexible to the speed of the station
responding  and will tend  to auto-QRS without
being asked.  Tends to have SOME of the attitude
of #1 in relation to the expecatations concerning
people who participate in the SS, but more
flexible in willingness to accomodate the
slowbies or newbies.

3) The casual contester. They get on as the mood
hits them and are interested in some personal
goal such as beating their previous score,
getting states for 5BWAS/WAS, practicing
techniques or just having some fun in between
other activities. Newbies, oldbies, and slowbies
should strive to stick with these folks as much
as they can and work them as they can. This
station will QRS or tend to be a bit slower than
the normal SS speed because they are not
rate-focused and are not as tuned to that aspect,
save when they get a run going if they choose to
run stations. They tend to submit logs for
scoring purposes.  Very flexible in their
attitude towards expectations that
newbies/slowbies should have. 

4) The non-contester. They get on to 'give the
gang a few points', seek states/provinces for
awards, check out their gear and antennas, and
generally have a good time without any sense of
interest in submitting a log. They will usually
QRS without asking and tend to be more 'laid
back'. Newbies, oldbies, and slowbies like these
types because they have (usually) zero problems
with speed of exchange since the non-contester is
not into it for points, rate, or other contest
specific reasons.

I know.. these are generalized examples and there
are sub-divisions within the categories.  These
are my own observations after many times opp'ing
in the SS.

Thoughts? I'm not looking for flames.. just
thoughts and comments.

If CW is dying.. why was 20/15 always filled with
stations working each other? hmmm.

Hey, I've got a crazy idea. If we want to encourage newer ops to contesting,
why not create a contest specifically for them. Slow code, in subbands where
can operate and an easy exchange. We could call it... Novice Roundup or
maybe something younger and hipper.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] My first SS...
Message-ID: <002901c284f8$2affacb0$11ed3518@CHRIS>

Reading the thread about the gentlemen who "put his key back in the box" has
caught me thinking back.

SS CW was my very FIRST contest back when I was barely a general class, and
about 11 or 12 years old.  I thought I would try my hand at this contest...
everyone said it was "the best."  Saturday came along, and I was ready.  I
had my program on the computer (one I had never used before), my paddle,
high spirits, and the radio.  I was good to go!  After a busy saturday, I
got on the air a few hours after the start.  I decided I would give out a
couple CQ's at my poky speed of about 13wpm.  This was going to be great!
Back then you couldn't even think about 15 or 10 meters in Alaska, so I hit
20.

After the first CQ, it was chaotic.  I felt like everyone in the whole US
was calling!  Not only were they calling, but they were calling FAST.
REALLY FAST!!  I caught a partial call.  I answered him.  Hey wait a
minute... all those guys can't be the one I called!  So I called him again.
GEEZ WHY IS EVERYONE CALLING ME!!!  I try it AGAIN several times.  SUCCESS!
I got his call, and send the report... that seems to take about 10 minutes.
Now he sends his report to me.  SLOW DOWN MAN I CAN'T TYPE THAT FAST!!! THIS
PROGRAM SUCKS!!!  AAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!  So I ask for a repeat... he
slows down.  OK I think I got it.  Time for another one.

The pileup has grown.

After about 10 minutes of yelling at the computer, getting frustrated at
operators not slowing down, and calling constantly over one another, I gave
up.  I quit.  Forget this contest thing!  If someone can't slow down for me,
I don't want to work them.  I'm just a kid in Alaska!!!

I try it again on Sunday.  I try calling guys, not CQing.  They slow down
for the most part.  They are probably happy to work Alaska.  I think I have
the program figured out, and my ears are "tuned" to the report.  I try CQing
again, and the pileup sounds even bigger!!  Great... here we go again.
After a few minutes of that nonsense, I quit while I'm ahead.  I was pretty
turned off from contests after that, at least from SS. :)

But obviously I didn't put the key away!  I just calmed down, and came back
later not so pissed off.  Hopefully the person who made the previous
comments will come back later, a little more level headed.

-Chris KL9A

p.s.  I think starting off "newbies" with Fone SS is a very bad idea... I
don't know why so many people do it with such a complicated contest report!

Not necessarily.  There would be a minimum speed I'd expect someone to be
able to do if he were to hang in there in a CW contest.  Perhaps 15 wpm?
I don't think a 5 wpm code proficiency is going to cut it in a major
contest like SS.

Would you want a driver who just can't drive over 90 mph without losing
control of his car to attempt the Indy 500?  (It has been done ...)

Message-ID: <01af01c28504$008cdc30$d6018b97@bk.trackdata.com>

I'm a CW newbie who can do casual QSO's at 15 WPM or so, but who would like to 
dabble in contesting as a participant and not as a
competitor (more about that later).   I have a strong personal ethos that 
mandates that my pleasure is not to come at the expense of
someone else.  I have been following the thread on Unsportsmanlike and its 
spin-offs.  In summary, my feelings are that:

    contest organizers should provide some kind of venue for newcomers
    newcomers should expect to do their homework and respect the rules of good 
taste
    contesters should extend consideration to newcomers, especially when the 
run slows down.

I have suggested to several organizers that they consider welcoming newcomers 
(who will be tomorrow's contesters) by providing hints
and even establishing informal conventions.  Things like a section on the web 
page "so you're new to contesting" containing the
items posted so nicely by Ward, N0AX; suggested frequency ranges; a suggestion 
on when and how to make a contact without annoying a
serious competitor.  As for conventions, I'd like to suggest that replying to a 
CQ with a ? before the call might be a signal that a
newcomer wants to try.  There is activity in the novice sub-bands in the major 
contests (heard with my own ears in both FD and this
past SS), but it's frustrating since most of OM's replying to a CQ SS end up 
giving their RST, name, QTH, WX or asking "what should
I send?".  And there is little or no participation in the state QSO parties.  
But organizers can designate a place where there will
be activity at a more relaxed pace.  The NYC Marathon was being run at the same 
time as CWSS and it is open to both competitive and
recreational runners.

For their part newcomers need to read the rules, try to copy exchanges, and 
respect the rules of good taste.  Starting with a state
QSO party is one way, waiting until the action cools down and you hear several 
unanswered CQ's, moving up the band.  Using a
computer is not a bad idea, but many want to start more informally.

Contesting is a competitive sport and serious competitors use the best tools 
they can get, and these days, that means a computer.
There is no getting around the fact that working newcomers requires either 
changing the speed setting on the computer or using an
auxiliary key (and many programs support that).  After you've worked all the 
other competitors, there are still lots of potential
Q's out there, and they all count in the log.  So why not consider a deliberate 
switch to QRS when the action slows down?  If the
run is hot, keep at it, but at the end of the contest when every CQ comes up 
empty and everyone else's CQ is a dup, slow down and
see what happens.  In addition to comptetitors (in the contest), there are 
other competitors: those looking for new states,
counties, zones, bands, and just on for a hour or two.  They may or may not 
know the exchange, and they may or may not be able to
operate at contest speed.  You will often hear fone OP's requesting "anybody, 
anywhere" to stir up contacts from casual listeners.
After all, every 'Q' in the log counts.

It took me less time than one QSO at 20WPM to realize Ward's 
"encouragement" letter for newbies last week deserved some cyberspace; 
I posted it on eHam pronto.  I hope it got a few guys on the air.

I think eHam is a great place for some introductory information like 
that letter and contesting.com a better spot for the more 
indepth coverage that Ward is suggesting below (with perhaps a 
corresponding, albeit simpler, eHam article that provides a link).

Audio stuff is great.  The Sprint .WAV files and other info at 
http://n6tr.jzap.com/sprint.html is a great example.  This kind of info 
could certainly reside on contesting.com.

Maybe this has been brought up before ????

Why not just get rid of multipliers for SS ???  CW SS is really an
exercise of who is best at SO2R anyway. The number of multipliers that
the top scores have is usually not a big factor. That way every contact
is equal and no unrulely pileups on anyone....

I know those who like to chase after the "clean sweep" mug might
complain but why not modify it so you can get a mug for making
something like 500 QSO's ??  This way everyone would benefit (more
activity?) besides those stations that are in "rare" sections.

Gee... I sure wouldn't complain about having a big pileup on me !!
(even if it's unrulely HI !) Isn't that every contesters dream ???

Ward, you have made some excellent suggestions here.  

I make it a practice to always sign my callsign at the end of each qso.  I 
find it also helps to keep a pile up under control, especially when operating

It is in the spirit of Ham Radio, therefore it *should* be in the spirit of
the rules.  I personally have no problem with a rare one who is beloved (and
needed) by all, who never has a negative word to say to anyone (however
Hyde-like) who behaves in a gentlemanly manner and good-naturedly uses
completely amateur means to make sure it is "no secret" where to find him
sometimes, when conditions are favorable.

This is different from phone calls, mass mailings, internet posts, etc.

If anything, the concern would be that this could be interpreted as a
violation of the WRITTEN rules.  That's a different problem.

*I* think it is clearly in the spirit of our events, J., and would never
fault you one bit, rules or not.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CW/Contesting Dying?
Message-ID: <000701c28507$81539900$9b00a8c0@nt.charterne.com>

I always chuckle when I hear the gnashing of teeth and feel the anxiety of
those who
say that cw is obsolete, cw is dying, contesting is dying, etc.

I think it is GREAT that there IS all this worry, because that tells me that
as a
group, we are not complacent....., yet.  As long as we keep worrying about
these things, we will do something about them, and our hobby will continue
to exist and even grow.

YES, we are getting older as a group and yes there are technological changes
and challenges and there will continue to be in the years ahead, and yes, we
are losing more and more of our contesting fraternity, year by year, but
then, if all these things are happening:

1) Why are there more hams than ever?
2) Why are there bigger contest scores than ever?
3) Why are there no clear spots on the cw bands
in any major contest?
4) Why can I make SSB contest qso's at 29.0 mhz?
5) Why are so many people spending so much money
to improve/build their stations?
6) Why are we communicating as a group MUCH MORE
than ever before (technology)?

Seems to me that things are just fine (although many
improvements can be made and much can get better).

Here's what I think:

1) There ARE more ham operators and contest operators
out there and the internet has NOT affected radio activity
in a meaningful way - otherwise you would not have seen
the EXPLOSION in the activity level of European and
South American ops.and stations.

2) We ARE older and much more distracted with family, career,
aging parents, financial issues, health issues, etc. that are more
relevant to a population with an average age in the high 40's, vs
an average age in the late 20's!

3) We have more money to spend on our stations and operating
activities and ARE spending it, including dxpeditions, recreational radio
travel, etc.

4) We have more interests and more diverse interests than just radio.
Whereas a high school kid might have sports, dating, academics, radio,
music, etc, a 40 or 50 year old has ALL those interests PLUS
business, travel, political affiliations, fraternal organizations, volunteer
work,
caretaking, other hobbies, etc., etc, and a LOT less time to do it all in!

5) While our operating may be more limited in terms of time, it is probably
with greater SKILL:

higher code speeds, 2 radio vs 1 radio operations, building more complex
station equipment, speaking more languages, better station/antenna building,
etc.

6) Technology has removed much of the drudgery of operating and let us more
easily operate and spend more hours doing it with less fatigue, making the
hobby more
enjoyable!:

Contest software, DVP's, computer logging, computers!, pre-built switching
devices,
better quality radios, headsets, keyers, etc.

7)  We are paying more attention to our family, spouse, kids, than previous
generations
and with shrinking free time, are choosing to spend more time with them
rather
than operating on a regular basis (at least I am)  :-)

Sure there are less JA's and lower US participation in WPX contests and less
cw in the
novice bands.  I can live with that, there are so many other aspects of our
hobby that are better
than ever before.  Yes, cw as an art may be losing its appeal, but until cw
contest scores
go down dramatically from cycle to cycle, I have to believe that the
activity is there when
it counts, and I won't worry.

But as long as we as a group continue to worry, and not take it for granted,
then the future of
cw and our hobby is assured!

You are 100% correct.  This guy is golden!  And I have an idea....

A number of respondents (I count about 60 to date in my inbox), seem to
think the slowbies are not even welcome in SS.  OK.  Then let's start a new
class (the log checking machines will put up wanted posters on me for this
one but here goes).

"A", "B", "U", "M", "S",.....  "SWL"

SWL:
Copy as many callsigns and valid exchanges during the same 24 hour period.
Submit your log like any other contester.  QSO pts awarded for every valid Q
confirmed by log checking.

1) it would provide the basis for "competition" without "blocking the road."
2) it would be an excellent way to "learn" SS
3) code speed would be dramatically increased
4) The slowbies won't be getting in the way.

Just a thought.

Jay,
I don't see what the difference is between that and going back and looking
over the logs from past years to see what time, what band, what frequency
and what call a rare section might normally show up.  There's nothing to say
that the same condx will be in effect this year or that the op will act the
same this year as he did last year.

Let me make it a bit more difficult.  A rare section starts having QSOs on a
frequency abt a half hour before the contest starts.  His call and frequency
are posted.  A single op unassisted station sees this and goes to that
frequency and hears the station.  When the contest starts, he turns off his
packet and immediately works the station (and maybe others that were posted
prior to the start of the contest).  Is the guy still really a "unassisted"
stn?

But, thanks for the YT QSO at the start of the contest on some unknown
frequency, Jay.

Good points, but not the main problem..CW is dying.  A majority of the guys 
get up to 5 wpm just to get on ssb and then seldom if ever use the code.  
Check the checks that you received...not many in the 90s or 00s.  There were 
a surprisingly large number in the 40s and 50s. This is not the case on ssb.

Cw will always be around, just like AM is.  It will eventually be in the same 
class as AM...nostalgic.  This is not a condemnation of cw, just an 
observation.

The ARRL and the FCC have sealed the fate of cw with the 5 code speed.  Back 
in the old days (the 60s and 70s), there was a place for novices (the novice 
bands) to work up to the 13 wpm which is sort of adequate for contesting.  
When someone got into the prime frequencies for contesting they had code 
experience and  might have even had some experience with contesting.  
Remember the novice roundup?  How many of us made our first contest qso there 
at 5 wpm or maybe even the speed demon rate of 10 wpm?

Nowadays, the guys have no place to build up speed.  KG4XYZ upgrades to 
general and all around him, even when contests are not going on, everyone is 
going at least 15 wpm.  Do you remember how your hand shook and how it was so 
hard to copy your first qsos at 5 wpm?  Now think what it is like make your 
first qso at 15 wpm, or worse yet, try to contest.  It's intimidating as 
hell.  Most of the guys, even if they are motivated, would be scared.

I don't have the answer.  I wish I did.  My main love is ssb contesting, but 
I would like to see new blood in the cw tests too.   Maybe we need a 'radar' 
cw contest...one in which speeds were limited to 15 wpm or less

I have operated /7 from WY the past two Sweeps.  I do this because I want
to get an extra station on from a rare section.  Well, OK it used to be
rare and difficult to work.  Since I am doing this portable and I am an
avid QRPer I do this in the Q class which adds one more level of difficulty.
And having portable antennas is just one more stake through the heart.  :-)

This year

K7QO  Q   552Qs  77sections (NL, QC and NWT missed)  85,008 points


1.  I took the /7 out of the call this year as Tree's program removed it 
last year.

2.  I put up antennas in 15 degree F to 0 degrees wx on 
Friday.  Brrrrr.  No wonder
      WY is rare.  :-)  And a foot of snow to boot.  Lander, WY in Fremont 
County.
      I took down the antennas at sunrise on Monday in -15F cold.

3.  Thanks to KL7XX (AK) who called me on Sunday afternoon.
      Thanks to K1PQS (ME) who called me on Sunday afternoon.
      Thanks to VE1ZJ (MAR) who called me on Sunday afternoon.

4.  On code speeds and newbies.

      a.  I was averaging 28wpm.  On Sunday I slowed down to 16wpm to get
           one Q when I was in the S&P mode.  We all had to start some where.
           It is easy to forget that.  (Look up my RUFZ score on the web.)

      b.  I make an MP3 CD for practicing.  It has 1600 valid Qs and runs from
          20wpm to 35wpm.  Takes about 10+ hours to run through.  I sell this
          puppy for $20, but I will give it to any newbie if you send me 
his/her
          call.   They just need a computer or walkman MP3 player that can
          handle ISO9660 f/s.

       c.  I'd call SS one of the toughest CW contests.  It has a long exchange
            and don't even think about changing it.  It is the best test of CW
            skills in any contest I know.  It is a sequence of random code
            groups, but you know where the numbers are gonna be, the mixed
            letter/number groups, ....  Get the newbie to practice with RUFZ
            and get to at least 20wpm regularly on copying random calls.

5.  I never had a contest mentor, but wish I did have one.  There is some 
thing that
      I am doing wrong as 95,000 is my highest score in Q class.  One thing
      that I noticed in CQ mode on Sunday when I could grab a frequency.
      I'd go 2 mins without an answer then get 3 calls.  I'd pick one and 
when I
      was through I'd wait for the other 2 but they were gone.  Why?  When I'm
      out gunned on the bands that I did not have a good antenna  (in 
S&P)  I'd wait in
      line up to their 3 Qs and then move.  Is this the wrong 
approach?  Maybe I am
      TOO patient?  I never got the pileups like VY1JA when I called CQ.  :-)
      Weak stations don't mean they are far away......

5.  Funny story.  You'd be surprised by the amount of time during the contest
      I lose due to two situations.  a.  The guy would take an extra few 
seconds
      thanking me for WY.  b.  Guys asking for a confirmation on WY.  :-)  Like
      WY isn't on the section list on the computer screen?  Like I made it up?
      And this from stations with over 850 Qs.

6.   Second funny story.  On 10m Sunday afternoon.  Try busting the pileups
       on VY1JA and VO1MP running only 400mW!!!  Can't be done.  Long story.



This year was fun for me.  Last year was a bad location and high noise levels.
Next year a contest station may be available for me to operate in WY......

dit dit

P.S.  Will contest for food...... :-)

We have to remember now the speed is only 5 wpm to get a
license.  Can you imagine trying to operate CWSS at 5 wpm?  At
least before, it was 13 wpm and it was a little more reasonable
to expect that someone could copy 15 or so.

I'll contribute all the MP3 files that you'd ever need to practice on.  All 
that is needed is a lot of
disc space.  The problem with SS is that you need the call to start off the 
exchange.  We all
use this to focus on the frequency and the speed for the exchange and to 
block QRM.

Another idea, but not cheap.  At Dayton there was a company that was using 
a receiver and
a video recorder to record 80 KHz of a contest.  Elecraft at their booth at 
Pacificon had a K2
with the same setup using an MP3 recorder to demo 40KHz bandwidth of a 
contest.  How
about recording contests like SS over a wide range and then having people 
use it to get
a feel for the contest.  I know that I could learn from such a setup and 
you could study
individuals (both the good, the bad, and the ugly) and their techniques and 
adapt to a
better way of operating.  This could easily be done by clubs with funding 
to bring in new
guys and girls to keep the membership up.

And you remember the DrDX program simulation?  I may have the name wrong as 
it was
decades ago for that software and the Commodore computer.  There are a few 
computer
simulation programs like PED and RUFZ, but there is probably a need for 
more contest
specific software to be written.

I agree Bill, and you hit the spot when you say that there are few
opportunities out there to begin using cw.  I can still remember my first
novice qso and I have the qsl to prove it.  On the qsl,  the station I was
working states something such as "If I could get my hands on you right now,
I would chop your head off!"  Now that's even a little worse than "go away".
But no problem,  I knew that I was a real novice and hadn't practiced the
code since I took the test (probably about 2 months earlier when it took a
while for the FCC to get around to assigning calls).  So he was right,  I
was a terrible cw operator,  but I enjoyed talking to people and I found
things like Worked All States and novice roundup and before I went for my
conditional (I lived in the boonies) I could copy well over 20 wpm.  I
missed North Dakota for my WAS and I can't remember where I ended up in
novice roundup,  but my call was there somewhere.  So I had the opportunity
to grow with others that had the same growing pains as I.  I'm not sure if I
was placed into todays enviroment as a beginner that I would ever learn CW
very well because I learned by doing rather than 'practicing'.   I did
enough of that on my trumpet!

So let's face the facts,  there will always be some that have the discipline
to go that extra mile to learn the code even though it wasn't necessary,
but they are going to be few and far between.  Enjoy the light of CW while
we can because as Bill stated,  someday it will be like AM at the top of 10
meters.

I got a different message than that from most of the 'public' discussion
(maybe your private email had a different tone) I saw.  (I'll also concede
that each persons understanding of the same message may be filtered by their
own mindset on a topic.)

In any case, my take on a 'concensus' is that 'slowbies' are indeed welcome,
but they're likely to need to 'precopy/postcopy' a lot, and perhaps this
effort will be the training that moves them up out of the 'slowbie' ranks. 
(Presuming they have that goal.)

I've listened attentively to a few CW contests, and even recorded  short
sessions on my laptop... but it sounds like what is sent is garbage..and I
reckon I have mostly 100% copy... Maybe I simply have no idea of the
abbreviations/codes used.  Passing any CW exam is easy.. but contest stuff
??

Is there any place where a real actual exchange is written down clearly so
I can simply duplicate it ?     Maybe I need to track down who has done
this CW thing before...

My personal rule is if I do not receive confirmation of any Contest QSO,
even if I've sent my exchange - its out of my log....  I wiped out 56 QSO's
out of my CQWW SSB log...

Right-o.  You ever see a MLB pitcher slow up his fast ball for a rookie

Can we keep the unnecessary and inaccurate ARRL bashing out of this?
Especially since the League was AGAINST the across-the-board reduction in
code speed?  Give it a rest already... I'm as disappointed as the next guy
that the FCC chose to do what they did, but they did it, and we have to live
with it -- continued kvetching is pointless.

And maybe I'm wrong, but didn't the FISTS revive the Novice Roundup after
the League dropped it due to lack of activity?

Good points, but not the main problem..CW is dying.  A majority of the guys
get up to 5 wpm just to get on ssb and then seldom if ever use the code.
Check the checks that you received...not many in the 90s or 00s.  There were
a surprisingly large number in the 40s and 50s. This is not the case on ssb.

Cw will always be around, just like AM is.  It will eventually be in the
same
class as AM...nostalgic.  This is not a condemnation of cw, just an
observation.

The ARRL and the FCC have sealed the fate of cw with the 5 code speed.  Back
in the old days (the 60s and 70s), there was a place for novices (the novice
bands) to work up to the 13 wpm which is sort of adequate for contesting.
When someone got into the prime frequencies for contesting they had code
experience and  might have even had some experience with contesting.
Remember the novice roundup?  How many of us made our first contest qso
there
at 5 wpm or maybe even the speed demon rate of 10 wpm?

Nowadays, the guys have no place to build up speed.  KG4XYZ upgrades to
general and all around him, even when contests are not going on, everyone is
going at least 15 wpm.  Do you remember how your hand shook and how it was
so
hard to copy your first qsos at 5 wpm?  Now think what it is like make your
first qso at 15 wpm, or worse yet, try to contest.  It's intimidating as
hell.  Most of the guys, even if they are motivated, would be scared.

I don't have the answer.  I wish I did.  My main love is ssb contesting, but
I would like to see new blood in the cw tests too.   Maybe we need a 'radar'
cw contest...one in which speeds were limited to 15 wpm or less

Hmm,
I even have a name for post-mult SS. Ragchewing.

Is SS an SO2R contest? I don't think so. Sure, people do SO2R. It's a great
contest to practise SO2R, particularly on Sunday. But when you have a
relatively small, fixed number of multipliers, the benefits of SO2R are not
as great as in, say, WW or WPX, which for everybody have unattainable
maximum amounts of multipliers. You can, in contests like that, pick up
mults you wouldn't otherwise have with SO2R. It's hard to say the same for
SS.

In SS, any Q that you pick up on Saturday on the second radio is one more
non-Q adding to the Sunday doldrums. It is also a contest, as K0HB says,
where "mults happen." There's really only a handful you need to work for.

I think the fact that there are an attainable number of multipliers adds to
the charm of SS. That one station faces what some consider unmanageable
pileups does not, in my view, warrant a significant change in the fun factor
for the rest of us. I mean no disrespect to anyone when I say that, but
there is another station in a section almost as rare as YT who does seem to
manage huge pileups on both modes quite well.

The Sweep is also a goal that stations can set if they know they aren't
going to be Top 10.

SS is fine the way it is. I think our efforts would be better spent on
helping those with unruly pileups learn more effective techniques for pileup
control.

Pileups in DX contests can be as big or bigger than any faced by any one
station in SS. After all, in WW, everybody is working everybody. I wonder
what it's like to be a rare South Pacific station when paths are open to
Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas at once. Do we propose to eliminate
mults in those contests as well, so nobody has to face a big pileup?

I also think the concerns expressed about pileups were less about the size
of the pileup and more about the attitude displayed by some people in the
pileup.

While it doesn't teach you strategy, the simulator in TrLog is fantastic for
getting one up to speed with the SS exchange.  Any speed.

Unfortunately, even Tree's magic can't prevent one's going brain-dead on
Sunday afternoon.  I found myself counting dots a couple

Hi Chuck et al

TRLog has a great simulator in it.  I spend lots of time playing
with that one.  I like to crank it up to about 45 wpm and just
see how many I can work at that speed.  It's fun to see the rate
meter climb up to 250 or 300 :-)  I'd recommend that to anyone
who is trying to learn how to do a CW contest.  73

There aren't more hams than ever in the USA...

The totals have been stagnant for two years (max was in March 2001), and in the 
three years before that the overall increase was only 1%.   
http://WWW.AH0A.ORG/FCC/Licenses.html

Worldwide, ham radio growth is minimal also.   The most recent published IARU

I agree about the need for speed.

However, there is a place for even the most 'novice' contest entrant.  But,
the novice has to be made aware that he/she is getting into a real
horserace.

When I started sailboat racing, there was no 'beginner's' fleet.  I was
thrust into the full-up start with the rest of those who had varying degrees
of greater expertise than I.  And, yes, it was frightening.  But, I
eventually overcame it and won some cups, platters, candy dishes, etc.
(which my ex-mother-in-law subsequently sold at a garage sale when her
daughter and I divorced.).

Geez, guys, people have to start somewhere.

One guy throws in the towel (or puts his key back in the box) and suddenly
we are all at fault.

Get

A

Grip


There are certain realities that must be accepted: SS is not for the meek.

If someone wants to contest or you want someone to contest, let him/her get
their feet wet in NAQP or a state QSO Party or two.

I don't know if it worked or not, but I sent Ward's note (twice, it turned
out: I needed to modify the operating times to CST) to all the ARRL
affiliated clubs in Texas on Friday.

I went to the ARRL webpage (http://www.arrl.org) and clicked on clubs.  I
selected TX as the search field ofr ARRL-affiliated clubs.  I selected and
copied all the clubs and pasted them into Notepad.  I then opened Excel and
imported the .txt file containing the clubs listing.

I then wrote a VBA macro to delete all lines not containing an e-mail
address, remove the "E-mail: " in that field and  concantenate the addresses
into one field (line).

I then copied 25 e-mail addresses at a time from that line and pasted them
into an e-mail BCC field.  I copied and pasted Ward's text into the e-mail
message and sent it.

I have no idea how effective that exercise was.  I didn't get any feedback
from anyone about whether the addressees (indicated as points-of-contact for
the clubs) even redistributed the note to their members, so, who knows who
saw it.

on the air for phone SS.  He then asked Ten-Tec's Service Manager, Paul,
WD4EBR to assist me with repairs, which Paul did.  Scott's offer of the
loaner was to be a backup in case the repair work failed, but with Paul's
help we were able to get the Omni-V fixed before the shipping deadline for
the Jupiter.

The loader work is done, my health has returned, and I am free now that the
rig is working, to get that beam up and the rotator under it.  Wish me good
weather.

If I consider the volume of received e-mail as a voting medium of the
"contester's rules committee", the following is in perfect order:

Watch for me at my MUF before the contest finding a clear frequency on or
near ?27, ?37 or ?17.

:o)

Let's have fun in a little over a week, and expect a number of VY1's as well
as VY0AAA with a small apartment operation.  Bob, VY1MB, and I are each
planning serious efforts, so VY1 should be VERY easy to find... now what
about WY, MT, and NL?

I been holding back...and it ain't been easy!

Ya' know in the past day or two this thread about how some unknown guy 
SUPPOSEDLY unpacked his key and tried to work SS but got disgusted so he 
put it back in to the box and into the closet...well its hooey in my 
opinion.

This is no different than the same crud I hear all day long on the cable 
news programs - about how Americans should feel sorry for causing other 
countries to act in a viscous and inhuman manor towards us in the Mean 
Olde USA and golly gosh it must be our fault as Americans that they do 
these terrible things...

GET REAL

This guy is not a CW op, he can barely copy CW and you believe that 
someone told him to "go awy" - I wonder if he could copy that much CW. 
 He will show us though he is not going to operate CW so there...someone 
tell to take his ball and go home.

a) I do not believe this person exists but is a figment of someone's 
imagination designed to voice a point of view without them having to say 
that they cannot handle SS CW because it is too fast.

b) I made over 1300 contacts this weekend and NOT ONCE was I asked to 
QRS.  There was one station high in the band who I called over and over 
again on Sunday lowering my speed 4 WPM at a time his response was 
clearly embarassment as I know I am loud into his area - he paniced.


Does this mean we need to change CW contests?  HELL NO!  This is one of 
the few times we get to exercise our gray cells!  If a CW contest is too 
hard for you - and you have tried going high up in the band so you are 
the highest frequency participant and you call CQ, and you have asked 
others to QRS (that means slow down) and still have no luck my guess is 
you are not transmitting on the same frequency as you are listening.

Does this mean you, the nebie, give up on contesting, no - you get 
comfortable with the code first - how do you do that USE IT FOR CHRIST 
SAKE!  Don't take the key out of the closet on contest weekends and 
expect that since it sitting on the operating table you are given 
copying ability!

I refuse to believe a contester would not slow down for a slower guy - 
scores depend on making QSOs, if you throw away that QSO you are a jerk.

I feel bad for all you guys who got sucked into this crap - then again, 
most of this audience is the easily impressioned American one which gets 
all its knowledge from the boob tube...therefore it must be true!

New CW ops - work on your CW....

Contesters - don't buy into this Politically Correct crap....

REMEMBER ANYTHING WORTH DOING, IS WORTH DOING WELL...and that does not 
mean it is necessarliy easy to do - when you do learn it however you 
will feela sense of pride having mastered something that you had to work 
for.

Contesting is not for cry babies, or guys who blame others for all their 
short comings!

I'll have to admit that I let myself get in a bad frame
of mind durring CW SS and spent a lot of time 
doing other things. I'm not a 5 wpm extra. I passed
my 20 wpm test back in 86. But, I didn't use cw
much after that. I even had about a 5 year period
where I didn't even own a rig or operate. Who is
to blame for that? Must be that guy I see in the
mirror every day.

I am no cw whiz period, but I also am too stuborn
to lay down and give up. My Plan A was to go
high in the band and call CQ at 20 wpm. I thought
that most would answer at that speed. Some did,
and some didn't. Well, here's another mistake I
made. I should have sent QRS instead of hitting
F9 on TRLog to send the "?".  Looking back, 
another mistake I made. 

Contests like the ARRL 160 are a lot easier for me,
since the exchange is really short. SS requires
one to be more "on the ball" then any other
contest due to the longer exchange. I did use the
TR simulator some, and felt I was doing halfway
decent, not great, but not terrible, running it at
around 24-26 wpm. Well, all well and good, but
perfect code, with no background noise, no qrm
no qrn is quite a bit different then when you go
to the rig. 

The "wait and get the info, then call" idea is fine.
I should have done more of that. The only problem
with that is, if the station you want to work is 
cq'ing and not getting any response, then you
have a problem because you can spend a lot
of time there waiting. When I ran into this
situation, with guys going probably 30 wpm+
I would send my call at around 20 and I assumed
they would send the exchange close to my 
speed. And yes, I did have the call of the
station before calling.  Well, my mistake
here was assuming that station would come
down to my level. Well, looking back on that
technique, that means I was assuming that
operator could read my mind. Well, that is
not always going to work. Some did, and I
appreciate that. But, I don't feel the stations
that came back at high speeds were in the
wrong. Again, I could have used QRS and
more then likely, they would have sent the
exchange slower. Again, my mistake.

Well, I could whine and blame the other guy
and never try another CW SS again. But, I
have another plan. Buy a set of paddles
(I've relied on the pc for all my sending)
and get on the air a lot more often. 
Yes, I'm sure I'll make a lot of mistakes
before I get the hang of using them. And 
I'll no doubt be going slow, at least until 
I learn to use them. Sure, I'll use the pc
durring most of the contest, but there
are times when it would be easier to
just use the paddles instead of taking
the time to put the program in keyboard
mode. 

Does this mean next year I'll do better? 
Well, I hope so, but, even if it doesn't, I'm
sure I'll feel better about it, since I'm not
going to do what I did this year, and that
is get frustrated and quit. I was mad at
myself, and beat myself menatally. I'm
going to work at becoming a better cw
op because it's just not in my nature to
give up. If I said "well, cw at contesting
speeds, just isn't my thing", then that
would mean I would be giving up and 
only operating half the contests. Naw,
that isn't going to happen. Time go get
in gear and do my best to improve. I 
hope otthers that struggled this weekend
feel the same way.

Right-o. You ever see a MLB pitcher slow up his fast ball for a rookie

big-league.

My software allows me to enter the call as part of the exchange (which it

I just got the latest Rate Sheet from ARRL, and my heart jumped when I saw
the following announcement:

"Worked All Europe DX Contest - CW - sponsored by the Deutscher ARC,
0000Z Nov 9 -  2400Z Nov 10."

HOT STUFF!  I thought the only WAE contest was in August, when propagation
was at its worst for the year.  But a new fall version...fantastic!  Then I
became concerned when I saw there would also be the OK/OM DX Contest this
weekend, overlapping WAE CW by 24 hours.  That has the potential for major
confusion, far worse than RAC/SP on 160 in the winter.  But after writing
down all the relevant data from the Rate Sheet, I thought I'd do a quick
check on the DARC page and see if this was indeed the first running of a
fall WAE.

Bad news...the Pyallup Tribe of Indians are NOT going to be a new DXCC
country...and the WAE contest this weekend is RTTY, not CW.  Too bad.  So to
anybody else out there who thought there was going to be a red hot WAE on
this weekend...forget it.  The Rate Sheet is flat wrong.

Is SS an SO2R contest? I don't think so. Sure, people do SO2R. It's a great

as great as in, say, WW or WPX, which for everybody have unattainable
maximum amounts of multipliers. 
..............................................................................

SS most definitely is a SO2R contest, but for a different reason than WPX.  

Yes, mults are not as important in this contest, but even a big gun station 
in FL is going to have a tough time finding a VI or PR station since we are 
looking away from them the whole contest.  I can't afford to bust up an 80 to 
100 hour S/Ping for one unless I have the machine going on a run frequency.  

The main reason it is an SO2R contest is that you start to run out of guys 
the second day.  In the last SSB SS my second radio was good for around 
100-150 qsos.  Maybe I would have worked them anyway.  Who knows.  I 
certainly am not talented enough on Saturday when I am running 120 per hour 
to use a second radio, but it sure makes a big difference on Sunday.

Sounds like you're off to a pretty good understanding of how SS CW
works.  It strikes me as incredible that any serious SS CW competitor
wouldn't do anything possible (within the rules) to squeeze out
every makeable contact - and slowing the code speed down is the
easiest and most obvious one out there.   Look at the logjam at
the top 20 HP claimed scores this weekend.  A small number of
contacts really made a difference this time - and does many times
in SS CW.  

After the first 6 hours of SS, I didn't call CQ once above 30 WPM.
I made many, many CQ calls at 22 to 24 WPM.  I made a number of
contacts
in the 13 to 17 WPM range either answering their CQ sent at that speed
or in response to a 'slow-coder' calling me.  I often dialed the
code speed down to below the speed I was called at to make sure the
other guy got it right the first time.  After all, getting it once
at 17 WPM is the same as me sending it twice at 34!

W2SR, get on and call CQ at 15 WPM at 21.097 or wherever.  I'll be
HAPPY to QSO you at that speed in SS and will stick with it until
you get my exchange.  Vice versa, if you can figure out my callsign
from a higher speed CQ and dump your call over to me at 15 WPM I'll
dial it down fast to make sure I work you.  Even if it's near the 
start of the contest.

Calm down, Jim. The answer is even more basic. 

Where did most of us learn our CW skills? Pushing the envelope in SS and CD

Jim, and others,

Nice to see someone express this side.  Contesting is
a sport, and you have to have the necessary skills to
compete, and one of those skills is CW (for a cw
contest).  CW skills are learned by practice, and it
is possible to learn to copy 30 wpm or more
(regardless of what the ARRL and FCC believe).  At one
time 20 WPM CW proficiency was required to operate in
certain parts of the CW band.  Now that you can get an
extra class license with 5 wpm skill, don't expect
everyone on the CW bands to be running at 5 wpm.  

Jim, you are exactly right about needing to USE cw to
get your code speed up.  When I was a novice (before
the ARRL killed that license in favor of the shack on
a belt) I wanted to upgrade to general.  I tried code
tapes, and failed the CW exam.  How did I finally pass
the 13 WPM (no I didn't wait until 2000 and get
grandfathered in), I got on the air and made CW QSOs! 
After doing that for around a year, I received a 25
WPM code certificate at the 1982 ARRL convention, and
that was before I even upgraded.  

Yes it would be nice if we all slowed down for
everyone who calls us, and I try to do that, but you
need to have perspective on your skills and maybe work
on them.  I don't have the loudest signal on the band
by any stretch of the imagination.  In any contest
there will be stations that can't hear me.  Do I take
my rig and go home, and write messages to the
reflector whining about how unfair it is?  Well I
could, or I could figure out how to improve things at
the station to be better heard, and try to learn more
about propogation to improve my chance with certain
areas, or I could be content that I am not going to
work everyone and get over it.

BTW, why is it the big bad US that everyone runs to
when they cannot defend themselves against aggressors?
 We're the bad guys until it comes to liberating
Kuwait, SOuth Korea, or stopping Nazis.

Or maybe to put it another way, the way to make SS Sundays relatively 
productive and enjoyable is to have one radio running at all times and then 
S&P like crazy, because there are people who only come on to call CQ, and 
others who only come on to S&P.  I didn't follow my own advice on Sunday 
afternoon, and the score shows it.

Then there are all the cases of serendipitous missing each other that go 
on.  For example K7BG was my 1080; I was his 1175.  I had been really 
sweating MT until just shortly before because we'd obviously been on 
different bands or CQing at the same times or somethin'.

After reading yesterday's "Rate Sheet", CW enthusiasts may have had a momentary 
vision of Utopia with the Rate Sheet reporting a second CW version of both 
Sweepstakes and WAE.  Sorry for the false euphoria, folks.  Phone enthusiasts 
will now suspect me of being a closet CW elitist bent on world mode domination. 
 Well, maybe :-)

I would love to blame my egregious error on some obscure Microsoft bug, but it 
was due purely to editorial inattention during cut-and-paste operations - 
better known as "My Fault!"

Bulletin...

1) Nov 9-10 is the RTTY weekend for WAE - not CW.
2) It's PHONE Sweepstakes on the 16th and 17th - not CW.

Apologies to all!

I'm still a kind of new to this contest. I've been participating in this
contest for only 4 recent years and I LOVE IT. If you are taking part in the
contest only to use your (pardon me) finger, pressing F1 all the way then
this contest is definitely not for you. IMHO this is the contest where you
have to use your skills and brain - you have to determine where and when to
run, you have to use your S&P skills when it slows down. I even love
Sunday's slowdown. It gives you a kind of chance to catch all those
F1-guys...if you are good enough in S&Ping... You don't even need KW's and
huge stacks for this contest...And the format is great as well as the rules.
If it really slows down I know I can go up the frequency, reduce my speed
and work slow guys...There are always new guys up there...
So please, don't make any changes to this wonderful contest... Just try to
participate. Sometimes I see there are much more talks than on-the-air
activity...

With best regards,

Bruce --

I too got all excited about the WAE CW and also about being able to run CW
SS again during the November 16 weekend.  Both were untrue -- darn! Sent
Ward an e-mail.

I just got the latest Rate Sheet from ARRL, and my heart jumped when I saw
the following announcement:

"Worked All Europe DX Contest - CW - sponsored by the Deutscher ARC,
0000Z Nov 9 -  2400Z Nov 10."

HOT STUFF!  I thought the only WAE contest was in August, when propagation
was at its worst for the year.  But a new fall version...fantastic!  Then I
became concerned when I saw there would also be the OK/OM DX Contest this
weekend, overlapping WAE CW by 24 hours.  That has the potential for major
confusion, far worse than RAC/SP on 160 in the winter.  But after writing
down all the relevant data from the Rate Sheet, I thought I'd do a quick
check on the DARC page and see if this was indeed the first running of a
fall WAE.

Bad news...the Pyallup Tribe of Indians are NOT going to be a new DXCC
country...and the WAE contest this weekend is RTTY, not CW.  Too bad.  So to
anybody else out there who thought there was going to be a red hot WAE on
this weekend...forget it.  The Rate Sheet is flat wrong.

Bruce, ZF2NT

Subject: [CQ-Contest] VE4XT's observation about SS and SO2R
Message-ID: <3DC964E4.3040707@tampabay.rr.com>

man o man o man do I disagree with the following:

VE4XT wrote:

Is SS an SO2R contest? I don't think so. Sure, people do SO2R. It's a great
contest to practise SO2R, particularly on Sunday. But when you have a
relatively small, fixed number of multipliers, the benefits of SO2R are not
as great as in, say, WW or WPX, which for everybody have unattainable
maximum amounts of multipliers. 


SS is ALL about maximizing QSO count.... (my multiplier thread was last 
week) ... During the last half of SS I would feel confident to say that 
close to half my QSOs were on the second radio!  You just plain start 
running out of guys when you are running - but you cannot afford to miss 
one who shows up during halftime of the football game - so you gotta CQ 
- but all that time you better be tuning for new ones on the other 
bands...  

While he has not posted his score yet, I am hazarding a guess that WP3R 
will be first or second in SS....  I had not called him - but had lined 
my rig up on the second radio to call him as his QRS CQ's were going 
unanswered - funny thing is HE CALLED ME before I could mash F4 on the 
second computer!  I do not know fer sure but I bet all but mebbe one of 
the top ten finishers in SS CW will have been using SO2R - which allows 
you to "push" the emvelope of QSO count as hard as you can. If you are 
noth running and S&Ping at the same time - well - you are maximizing 
your brains potential to make QSOs appear in your log!

SO2R also works much better (for me anyway) in SS due to the long 
exchange - you get more wiggle room as far as timing calling the other 
station and call literally adjuct you CQing to time out at the same 
moent as the other guy does his....and when you call him on radio two 
and he comes back - you return to CQing on radio one while he is sending 
you his exchange...etc....  it is a little bit like juggling flaming 
torches but it sure keeps you aware of what you might have missed, too!

SO2R is mandatory in SS - I would encourage guys who may not have the 
potential for two full stations to consider it for next year even if it 
means the second rig is barefoot and you are in B class... even if it is 
only a trap vertical on that second rig - until you take that time you 
spend CQing and use it for something practical you do not realise how 
much of a waste of time listening to your computer send your CQ 
flawlessly several thousand times during the weekend is!

After reading yesterday's "Rate Sheet", CW enthusiasts may have had a
momentary vision of Utopia with the Rate Sheet reporting a second CW
version of both Sweepstakes and WAE.  Sorry for the false euphoria,
folks.  Phone enthusiasts will now suspect me of being a closet CW
elitist bent on world mode domination.  Well, maybe :-)

I would love to blame my egregious error on some obscure Microsoft bug,
but it was due purely to editorial inattention during cut-and-paste
operations - better known as "My Fault!"

Bulletin...

1) Nov 9-10 is the RTTY weekend for WAE - not CW.
2) It's PHONE Sweepstakes on the 16th and 17th - not CW.

Apologies to all!

Message-ID: <00ef01c285ca$fa836bc0$27d7fea9@mirage>

To run with the Big Dogs - you can't be a puppy, pull yourself up by your 
bootstraps, and all that.  Admirable, true, and good personal advice for 
improving your contesting success.

But...

I must point out that contesting is quite unique a sport in that the success of 
the competitors depends entirely on the ability to connect with as many other 
participants as possible.  And not only other participants, but 
non-participants.  Certainly an auto race can not open the gates to every 
possible participant in every event - but radio contesting depends on doing 
just that. No one has to pre-register or qualify to play - just show up and be 
welcomed, right?

The success of the sport depends on its open-ness and easy access.  We should 
not over-react to a poor experience by one or two, nor should the behavior of a 
couple knotheads reflect poorly on us all.  Yet, having a healthy sport means 
more than publishing the rules and an email address for logs and saying, "Take 
it or leave it".  There have been several good ideas put forth as to how to 
educate and attract contesters.  I hope some of them are widely implemented.

To a large degree, however, the methods by which we conduct ourselves on the 
air is the primary window by which others view and form opinions of the sport.  
Outreach is THE challenge to the contest community over the coming solar 
doldrums - not amplifiers, cheating, packet spotting, or log formats.  Outreach 
is required to the casual and non-contesters - even anti-contesters - to keep 
the sport healthy.  We have a great opportunity at present with super 
conditions and participation in many contests at record levels.

Let's not blow it in our urge to be competitive with one another.

73, Ward N0AX

I hope this is not too far afield for the group. A friend has a ts940s 
with a CW problem. While receiving CW (with or without 500hz filters) 
there is a 'tone' on all the time. He says it sounds like a BFO type 
tone bleeding through. The tone is present on all bands and is very 
audible when listening on just a dummy load. The tone does not appear to 
'beat'against signals. If anyone on the list has had any experience with 
this problem please e-mail me. We have checked the Kenwood service 
bulletins and find nothing resembling this problem.

There are probably a number of ppl that are just deleting this thread by 
now.
So, I changed the topic and left in the majority of Ford's comments.
This sounds like an awesome idea to me.  This could be a nice category
on ANY CW test.

Chuck:

Thanks for the QSO.  I was guest op at W4AN.

Not everyone who uses a bug has trouble sending numbers correctly.  You
can't know who is using computer generated CW or just using an
electronic keyer. The computer generated numbers are at least as
unreliable as the ones sent by an electronic keyer.  In some programs,
if you ENTER the QSO before giving a fill, the fill sends the NEXT QSO
number, not the one that you intended to send.  If you are not
listening, you will not catch and correct the error.  The guy with the
electronic keyer (or bug) will NOT make that mistake.  I am pretty sure
that I had two guys give me the wrong number because of that very
problem...I asked for a confirmation or correction and they sent me the
number after the one they had originally sent, but both insisted that
the second number was correct....so what can you do but log the later
number?

You worry too much.  Those guys will probably not send logs in and no
one will lose the QSOs.  Or they will send in a paper log that won't be
used for cross checking.  Even then, if you lose the QSO, you lose the
QSO.  There is no penalty as there is for a NOT IN LOG claimed QSO.  So,
you lose nothing by making and logging the QSO.

I have been told that, in at least one contest, the logging software
does not kick out QSO numbers that are off by only one number, apprently
because of the computer problem I mentioned previously.  (This was not
ARRL SS.)

We do this for fun.  Let's keep it that way.

Jim's humor is very entertaining, but on Sundat afternoon in SS after
a 2 hour break, I just could not copy the code..I doubt I could have
gotten my own call at 5 wpm. Took another break, and things were
better,,

I'm just wondering if this is common?

John, K4BAI, makes a very good point and one that I had not thought of, e.g.
the computer sends one higher number than it should be.  There is also the
other side of that problem.  In most programs if there is no info in the
"Call" column, it sends the previous QSO number or one less than it should
be.  This can happen if you miss the call and are waiting for it to be sent
again or even if you have just fallen behind becuz you can't type at 200
QSOs per hour.  If you are receiving this info and have not been listening
to the station sending for a while, you would never know that the number
sent was in error.  And, in many cases, the sending operator is totally
unaware that the computer just sent a wrong number because he's busy trying
to type in the missing call.  I think the checking computer is totally right
to allow a QSO number plus or minus one without penality.

When I received my copy of the Rate Sheet & saw that this weekend's JIDX SSB
contest was split into high & low band weekends - on the same weekend as
WAE CW - it sounded too good to be true... a proper reason not to do JIDX SSB,
not to attend SEANET conventions (which seem to always fall on this weekend)

Dan,

I'm not a Kenwood expert (although I do own a TS-850 for contest-expeditions).

Doesn't the TS-940 have a button (I think it's called TF-Set) that 
generates a tone on CW to spot against?  OTOH I may be remembering a mod 
from K1GQ for the TS-930 to make the TF-Set button to do such a function.

My FT-1000Ds have such a button and it is very useful.

I don't understand the phenomena completely, but we finally gave up on NV7A. 
Statistically, when S&P'ing on CW, about one in four stations either missed 
the call the first time, copied it as N4ZA or asked for a repeat on the 
State.

So, here goes another grand experiment. As of today, NACHO (Nevada Ass'n of 
Contest Highland Operators) is now W7TTT. We'll see how often it becomes W7O 
in CQ CW. In SS Phone, it will be W7 Tic Tac Toe.

Damn OJ, you shoulda held back.  Excuse me while I piss flaming napalm all
over your strawman.

N0FP is a friend of mine, an enthusiastic new contester, an accomplished CW
operator, a contributing member of Minnesota Wireless Association, and
something of an "evangalist" for everything related to ham radio.

To put the lie to your accusation the he "cannot handle SS CW because it is
too fast", Ford put together a 100K+ SOLP SS CW effort last weekend. 
(Something like 700 Q's and a Sweep, if memory serves.) That may not be "top
10", but it ain't too shabby for a first effort at SSCW.  

I mentioned earlier that Ford is something of an evangalist. (That's a "Good
Thing (tm)" by the way.)  So, while I don't agree with all of Ford's
conclusions on this matter, I am 100% certain that Ford did in fact coerce
some unsuspecting newbie into trying SSCW.  And I further believe that the
results of that disaster are something similar to what Ford describes.  

Now we can have all sorts of highminded discussion about Fords' reaction to
his friends experience, but accusing Ford of making it all up to voice a point
of view is simply a cheap shot, and unworthy of a topnotch guy like you.  You
owe Ford an apology.

John,

I don't necessarily agree with the thrust of the message from Ford, but he
damn sure wasn't whining about "unfair".  He was trying to make a point as he
saw it.  No we may see it differently, but sarcasm and accusing him of making
up stories to voice his view as waaaaaaaaaaaaay out of line.

Maybe some of you missed it, but N6TR operated from the mostly broken
(thank Lilly) W5WMU station this past weekend as QRP.  Results:

Total: 1105  Sections = 79  Total Score = 174,432

He bested superman N5TJ's record from 1997 when Jeff managed to beat the
old record by more than 37K (that is 181 QSOs).  Tree managed to work more
than 50 more QSO's than Jeff did in 1997.  At one point when I dropped in
to see how John was doing at my station, the only comment he made was
that N6TR was only (I believe) 30 QSOs behind him operating with 1500w!  

Oh, I also think Pat also deserves a lot of credit for getting the station
patched back together for Tree.  I don't have all the details of what he
accomplished in just a few days, but maybe Tree can fill us in.

Great score OM!  Hopefully nobody will feel compelled to fly to KP4 to

Before this goes any further...everybody sit tight!

I am the one who has "accused" N0FP of making up this guy...this is my 
feeling alone - and should I find out that this story holds water I will 
immediately post a message to this reflector that I appologize to N0FP 
for that charactarization...

I should note that I do appreciate Ford calling me in the SS this past 
weekend, at the that point he hadon Saturday night he had logged 188 
calls in his log so he clearly is NOT incapable of CW contesting!

My gut feeling is that there are not contesters out there who 
deliberately shoot themselves in the foot by telling a calling station 
to "go awy" - I have been told to go away in essence by non-contesters 
wwho I happen to find in heretofore unworked multipliers on any given 
weekend...that is about the only time a contest QSO is turned down!

I have NOT spoken with Ford, and am asking he reply to me directly so we 
can continue this discussion privately...

My reaction is a result of years of watching contesting get watered 
down...too many categories and too little recognition of significant 
achievements put forth by guys from propagationally challenged area, 
etc.  Before this sucker gained a head of steam and someone suggested a 
new category for making their first 100 CW contests contacts I interjected.


SO - EVERYBODY QRX (for you phone guys that means standby)


To K0HB - I gather you know Ford, please tell him to get with me on 
 this, as anyone who reads this reflector knows I am very much so 
pro-contesting...it was not my intention to make this reflector appear 
like the TV commercials of the previous week....

73,

Jim, K4OJ QRX fer N0FP

Well, I guess now we can add "liar" to the list of names I've been called
over a rather innocent posting a few days ago Re: Unsportsmanlike?  Hmmm  I
guess it's been about 40 years since somebody stuck their tongue out
at me and exclaimed "liar-liar-pantsonfire!"  She and I were both 6 years
old
at the time -- her name was Susan.

In spite of the generally held belief that SSCW is the "Grand Prix" of CW
contesting, this is not about CW Speed at all.  It is about "Culture."
Contesting
culture.  Ever have a job where the work environment is "caustic?"  A great
job can turn into slavery in no time because the culture is screwed up.
It's no fun to be there.  A caustic culture can happen at work, in churches,
sports teams, political campaigns, families, ham radio contests, and
internet reflectors.

Not all the public and private posts have been so pointedly negative towards
me.  I am but one voice in a sea of voices.  Here is a clip from one very
notable
private and unsolicited response...

> This thread reminded me of why I quit active contesting and sold
everything.

There goes another missed Q...  Only this time, everybody gets to miss it.

There is a very fine line between "man this is fun" and "man this sucks."
It has nothing to do with radio, CW, SSB, RTTY, hardware, skill, or
otherwise.  It has to do with culture.  When it's fun to be there, you can't
keep people away.  When the "fun" is gone, so are the people.

If you want people to come to work in the morning, make it inviting. If you
want contesting to grow, make it inviting.  If you want people to
participate on this reflector, make it inviting.  Otherwise, you will end up
playing with yourself, all by yourself (pun intended).  My original posting
was intended to illustrate only one point.  This culture can be caustic to
newbies.

In OJ's treatise flaming me, he expressed great disdain for Political
Correctness.  The moderator rejected my initial response as being
inappropriate.  Apparently, words starting with F and Y are not permitted
when used together.  So, in an attempt to provide a more politically correct
response, those magic words are not included herein.

Smart move, Tom.  NV6O went the same route, for the same reason.  I 
remember one time calling him in a PHONE NAQP as "N4BO."  There was this 
long silence, and when he came back, he was still laughing, fortunately.

My impression -- ain't hindsight wonderful -- is that the B/6 and V/4 busts 
are particularly common because people have trouble distinguishing 3 dots 
vs 4 at or above their speed limit.  I have occasional problems with being 
heard as NV7R, but even as long as the2X1 calls have been around, I still 
think that 1X2 or 1X3 is more "expected" and therefore people are less 
inclined to bust my call into a 2X1.

I am also interested in Bill's request .  Having a lot of business as well
as relatives in LA, I travel the Houston to New Orleans I-10 route
frequently and always try to get a glimpse of Pat's great antenna farm as I
pass by the Breaux Bridge area.

Headed to New Orleans on Thursday before SSCW weekend as I passed through
the area I was concerned as to what kind of damage Lilli had caused. Going
east I saw nothing -- maybe an 18-wheeler pulled along side or something.
But on Monday going west I could see several towers standing but couldn't
tell if any functioning hardware was still on top and wondered if Tree had
been able to make his annual SS CW trip to Acadiana.  Sounds like enough was
still available to allow him to make a fantastic QRP score.  Of course the
only requirement for that appears to be the proverbial "wet noodle at 30
ft".

A report on the effects of Lilli at W5WMU and Pat's efforts to get it back
in shape for SSCW would be interesting.

T-F Set does not generate a tone.  However, unless RIT or XIT are
engaged then the cw sidetone pitch very acurately reflects the actual
transmit freq.  T-F Set is used to temporarily switch to the opposite
VFO (A-B).

they would provide a useful analytical tool for all of us.

Unfortunately, to date I've only received about 9 responses.  I figure that 
50-100 are needed to give meaningful statistical data.

I'm basically looking for just 4 numbers.  Please take a minute and send 
them to me directly.  You don't have to be a high scorer, or high power.  I 
will publish the results on the reflector.  Here's what I need:

All of the TS940's  I've ever used have this feature to some degree.
It
becomes more obvious as the bands become more quiet -- such as
when you move up to 10 meters at night.  Tighten the CW VBT and
you will peak it.  Put a resistor in series with your headphone leads
and
you might attenuate it to a tolerable level.

Maybe some of you missed it, but N6TR operated from the mostly broken

Total: 1105  Sections = 79  Total Score = 174,432

He bested superman N5TJ's record from 1997 when Jeff managed to beat the
old record by more than 37K (that is 181 QSOs).  Tree managed to work
more
than 50 more QSO's than Jeff did in 1997.  At one point when I dropped
in
to see how John was doing at my station, the only comment he made was
that N6TR was only (I believe) 30 QSOs behind him operating with 1500w!


Oh, I also think Pat also deserves a lot of credit for getting the
station
patched back together for Tree.  I don't have all the details of what he

I don't understand the phenomena completely, but we finally gave up on NV7A.
Statistically, when S&P'ing on CW, about one in four stations either missed
the call the first time, copied it as N4ZA or asked for a repeat on the
State.

So, here goes another grand experiment. As of today, NACHO (Nevada Ass'n of
Contest Highland Operators) is now W7TTT. We'll see how often it becomes W7O
in CQ CW. In SS Phone, it will be W7 Tic Tac Toe.

I guess it has to do with familiarity, intention, fortitude and/or
expectancy.  If you have the intention and the fortitude to put up with
miserable behavior from some, you just deal with it.  If you are familiar
and know what to expect, it doesn't faze you.

There's a famous restaurant in Chicago called Ed Debevic's.  The
waitresses are paid to be rude to the customers.  Most of the customers
know this, expect it and play along.  If you went in there not knowing of
their reputation or not expecting it, I suppose you wouldn't stay there
very long.

BTW, I estimate from what I know that only a tiny percentage of contesters
are rude.  Probably the same percentages as in any other endeavor.

Hi Pete:

I think the worst mistake I ever made in contesting was in CQ WPX CW in
1996, the year the summer Olympics were in Atlanta.  Georgia stations
could subsitute other numbers in their calls to celebrate the Olympics. 
"34" for the 34th Olympiad, add two zeros, or "96" for the year.  I
elected to be K96BAI for that period--maybe it was May through August of
1996 for most general operating and it wasn't too much of a problem to
get the call across.  The first contest to come along was, of all
things, a PREFIX contest.  So, what would be more natural than to be a
new multiplier for everyone, a K96?  Well, I reckoned without the
problem caused in contest operation by the "6B" combination,
particularly coming after K9, which was in itself a complete prefix. 
After a few hours, I ferverently wished I was just K4BAI for the rest of
the contest.  I stuck it out, but S&P was a real chore.  It is truly
amazing that contest operators can (apparently?) copy a random three
digit serial number the first time every time, but cannot copy an
unexpected callsign such as K96BAI even on three or four repeats.  (And
to any contester who was really prepared for a prefix contest, the
callsign should not have been unexpected.)  

Which is a long way of saying that I agree with you and with Tom's
decision on the call NV7A.  He gave it a good try for a number of years.

73,


John, K4BAI.

Would this be a bad time to say that I don't believe that anyone would 
actually have the naivete to come on halfway through a contest & say "Work

has happened.

If K5RC was using his new call would W3IAR call him by saying, "Tic Tac Toe,

And, more importantly, would it automatically be a dupe?

Guys, can we just put this one to bed? If the email floating around on

say such about anybody.

If you want to keep on fighting, just reply individually to each

Hello,

I shall be in Japan through mid-December, and I would be interested in
traveling somewhere within 4-5 hours' train or plane ride from Tokyo to
operate in CQWWDX CW (or possibly even the 10 Meter Contest) if someone
would like an operator to activate their station.  I would prefer a single
op, but would also consider participating in a non-smoking multi-op effort.
 

Please contact me directly at the following email address.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Pile Up in the Top Ten Box
Message-ID: <20021108005027.34234.qmail@web13305.mail.yahoo.com>

To change the subject just a bit....

  There seems to be an amazing pile up developing to
get into the CW SS SO HP Top Ten Box. It looks like
there are 10+ stations vying for spots # 8,9, and 10.
Most of the Top Ten in fact will come down to the log
checking. Last year the Top 20 lost from 13 to 72(!)
QSO's in the checking, so this could really go down
to the wire.
  The question is: why does it take until June to get
the results? The entire contest season will be over,
and it may (or may not) be summer here, and my mind
will be a million miles from contests.
  A proposal: If you are playing for the Top Ten, you
have 24 hours to get your Cabrillo logs in. (Please
don't offer any excuses, people with a room full of 
radio gear can manage this requirement.)
  A database of all worked calls is made up from the 
logs, and the correct exchange info for each call is 
determined, say by 90% agreement amongst the entered
logs. Incorrectly copied Q's are removed from the
entered logs.
  The question of what to do with uniques. This is
probably meat for a years worth of discussion. IMHO,
it seems that there should be NO uniques among the
top 100 or so scorers in the CWSS contest. There is no
"begging" for Q's (anybody, anywhere) like on SSB, and
all the logs for all the Top Ten box entrants would
be in the database (Q,A,B,U,M classes). Uniques are
thus tossed out. I could live with this for the CWSS.
  The results would be posted in a week. Tree, your
comments? The last thought I have is that maybe QST
would publish Top 20 boxes if they are going to do
away with the line scores. That leaves 100 spots to 
get your call in QST, certainly a suitable goal for
a contester willing to put in some time and effort.

Back to the regular program........

Anybody here know how I can reach KC5TJG?  He is in the Dallas area & I can
find no email address for him anywhere that doesn't bounce.

I am going through spot comments about QSLs for VR2BG.  Such comments can
result in no VR2BG participation in contests - judging from how I was chased by
others during the two dozen S&P contacts I made from CQ WW SSB, very few got
the VR mult this year.

Not that KC5TJG's spot is considered to be in the same category as the
person who appears as W0SF-@ & others who are fueled by his spots &
comments... in this case I wish to close the loop with George to make sure
he gets a card, although I see I have already sent him a card for all the 
contacts
I see with him in my log.

Wonder how many other DX stations give contests a miss because of the
expectation of QSL instantaneous gratification by the "Deserving"?  I myself
fell really behind once, but I'm quickly catching up on the cards received in
the past six months & am increasingly of the opinion of not having any more
of this rubbish.  It's like we exist only to serve that lot.

Sorry for spew & let me make it clear that I'm not whinging about KC5TJG's
spot - just going through the motions of QSLing & doing it my way: a little
slow, but thorough.

Speaking of Morse in the water, true story follows----

Takes place on a Navy destroyer docked in Norfolk, VA.

As some of you know, in my mis-spent youth and early adulthood I was a Navy
Radioman. In the late 50's, early 60's, that meant that newbie 'bootcampers'
spent most of their waking hours copying the "Fox" CW traffic, monotonous
24WPM 5-letter coded groups for for 8 or 12 hours straight, then crash to grab
some sleep, wake up and eat, and back at it again.

After one particularly long 12-hour watch 9-PM to 9-AM, I had just
grabbed some breakfast, took a shower, and crashed in my bunk at about
10AM. The bunk was just below the waterline and next to the skin of the
ship (5/8" steel plate). As I lay there just drifting off to sleep I
started to clearly hear Morse code coming from the water outside the
hull of the ship. It was slow and choppy, as sent by an inexpert
operator on a mis-adjusted straight key, but it was readable code, and
it seemed to come from more than one source, because there were changes
in pitch and intensity at various times. "Aw, it's only my imagination
fueled by exhaustion" I convinced myself and drifted off to sleep. When
I awoke several hours later, it had disappeared.

When I went back up to the radio shack that evening form my next shift,
I mentioned this to a couple of old hands, they gave me a 'knowing look'
and snickered a bit, and pooh-poohed it away. Somehow I had the feeling
they knew something that they weren't sharing with me.

Fast forward to the next morning after my 12 hour shift. I was beat, so
skipped breakfast and shower and just crashed... in my bunk by 0915.
There was no code coming through the hull! I was my imagination after
all!

10AM -- I am jerked awake by Morse coming at me again, right through the
hull of the ship! Luckily there was another RM, a bit more experienced
than I, in the compartment. Sheepishly I asked him if he heard the same
code I was hearing. I had to convince myself that I wasn't going nuts.

"Of course" he said. "It's Gertrude."

Who the hell is Gertrude, and how is she sending Morse through the hull
of a destroyer?" I asked.

Well, to make a long story short, "Gertrude" was a code word for a sonic
system that Sonarmen useD to communicate with submarines during fleet
exercises. Took a visit to the sonar shack, and they had a J-38 which
they used to key a sonar transducer, and of course they weren't very
expert. Turns out that every Tuesday and Wednesday at 10AM they held
practice drills with other destroyers moored nearby.

Good post, butI fail to see why uniques should be limited to the top
100, else think all your remarks good and fine for discussion.

Every year, W4AX will get on and work me in the 160. He may or not
work anyone else.
Same is true of K4CY, my neighbor, ( alias 9K2ZZ who writes Logger and
Zakanaka ) and Bob would rather be thrown into a pit of vipers than
submit a log to the ARRL.

I've gotten dinged for these "uniques" for the last 2 years. And
afraid I sent a nasty
email the last time. If it happens again, I'm going to send ARRL the
QSL card!

If the ARRL is so rigid about uniques, let them submit a request to
the one who worked it requesting confirmation. Now, what are the odds
some little pistol will get on, work about 10 others just on for fun
on Sunday afternoon, and not one of them submits a log?

I too spent time this weekend wondering if I was going to get beaten by a
guy running 5W!!  Great score Tree.

With the strength of the QRP stations this past weekend, it did strike me
that the SS would do very well as a contest with a 150W output power limit.
We could just have Q and A categories - completely eliminate the high power
category.

Let's face it, we don't really need a KW to work around the USA/Canada.
Since you only need to work once, there is no need for power to make
marginal QSOs on the low bands.

If you look at the results, A is the most popular category anyway.

It will have more of an impact on Phone SS than CW, but not sure that it
wouldn't make Phone more interesting and competitive as well.

Of course, anyone could still go to KP2 or KP4 and win...

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Let's move along, PLEASE
Message-ID: <3DCB30A7.9070202@tampabay.rr.com>

I think I have learned a lot in the past few says.

One of the things I have learned is that maybe I should not use the 
internet and public postings to drag others into my personal 
business...it appears there has been quite a hornets nest generated.

I gather form N0FP that he has been sent numerous e-mails which are less 
than positive in their tone. To him I apologize for his having to endure 
this.

The original thread about how some ham could be "dissed" by a contester 
is an important thread.  I felt it important because I do not think any 
contester should ever turn down a QSO - only under extreme QRM/QRN/QSB 
type situations where you truly have tried to copy the other station but 
just plain cannot dig them out of the ether shouldyou say no.  I find it 
offensive that some guy could ruin another guys attmept to have some fun 
contesting by telling them to "go awy".

It appears we will never know who the offending station may have been, 
that is all I wanted to know as I wanted to try and set him, the "go 
awy" guy straight... to remind him that such behaviour is not just poor 
sportsmanship but a behaviour which can only hurt a sport which already 
has more than its share of "haters".

Contesting is truly an individual thing - and that in my opinion is why 
it has a following that tends have a long life span.  You improve on 
your station, your skills and consequently your scores, this takes time 
and dedication.  Nobody gets on for the first time and lands in the box, 
ever.  Becuase it is not a  fat wallet that is the requiremnt for a 
"winner" many persue contesting.  They know that the wineers are those 
that win every time they operate by their challenging their biggest foe 
- themselves.  If you keep doing better than you have done in the 
past... you  find yourself doing better than a whole lot of others, too!

It is good to push yourself, it is part of the human character.  In all 
portions of your life.

Again I am sorry that this got as ugly as it appears it did for Ford, he 
made a clean sweep last weekend, anyone who spends that much time in the 
chair clearly enjoys contesting - it is a shame he has to see it now as 
a two edged sword.

I repeat my request, should you know of the offending station let me 
know. He needs some education as to why contesting which we know as out 
and out fun is something others view as out and out crud and they do not 
need us adding to their flamage.

Let's talk about some positive things from this past weekend like the 
phenomenal QRP score of N6TR, or how N2NC (piloting N2NT) has made it to 
the top scorers in SS, from the Northeast, this is tough...jow about the 
midwest scores of W8RE and N9RV????   Anyone know of some newbies who 
were energized by their first real SS, and have any positive stories to 
convey here.  I think I could use some!

I promise to try to stop being quite as terse as it appears I was, and 
will try and reread my posts before hitting send... in its own way I 
suppose I am guilty of telling some to "go awy" -  and for that I apologize.

73,

Jim, K4OJ

for their money in terms of being nasty.  I guess DXers have little
incentive for being nice to anyone...at least contesters have to think about
next year!

Man...and after the past few days' posts, I was starting to think contesters
were the scourge. ;-)

Why?

Uniques (assuming we're talking about legitimate QSOs with stations 
that happen to only make one QSO and not mis-copied calls) are good.

How would deleting uniques make the reporting process faster?

Not me...but then I've only made Top Ten in CWSS once.  Near the 
bottom.  Low Power.

        For the 2000 WPX CW I borrowed NV4X from K4MA.  This
turned out to be a big mistake for CW.  Most seemed to copy it
as N4VX, possibly because of the similarity to K4VX.  I tried
slowing down only the letter V, using half spaces between the
letters, etc, etc, all to no avail.  After only 3 hours I figured 
it was going to be a long weekend.  Fortunately my XYL rescued
me by requiring an early Saturday AM visit to the hospital where
I spent the rest of the weekend.

        Stay away from those NV prefixes on CW!

Message-ID: <001d01c28723$99d3b9b0$0200a8c0@k1ttt1>

During cqww ssb my AR-Cluster node was apparently 'full' for a while
resulting in some users getting rejected.  I know I saw 80 users
connected at least twice, that plus the telnet node connections just ran
it out of connections and with 1200+ spots/hr may also have been slowing
down the service.  For future contests please try to spread the load out
a bit.  Here in the north east the following AR-Cluster nodes normally
connect to me and should have the same spots within seconds of my node.

W1GQ dx.w1gq.net
K1EU k1eu.dynip.com
AA2MF dxc.aa2mf.net
W2GSB 24.187.239.170 (replaces n2tx but has been experiencing some kind
of problems recently)

Please try them out before the next contest, set any filters you may
want on each one, and make sure you know how to switch your telnet
software in case you have to do it in the heat of the contest.

To me, this once again underlines why we're all waiting for Logbook of the 
World, which by my memory is at least 6 months late.  Anyone know a current 
schedule?

And for those in David's section of the woods, remember RXCLUS can do
the same work without connecting. Of course, you can't send spots, but
it does relieve the overload a little.

Randy,

You are assuming that everyone is using a good antenna system. Until
I get the time to go head-to-head with the city of Los Angeles for a
conditional use permit, I am stuck with antenna by Eimac. My trapped
vertical on the roof is pretty close to a dummy load, but when you
pump 1000 watts into it, enough signal leaks out to make some contacts
and have a little fun. This is definitely not W5WMU.

I got to thinking...(obviously a dangerous situation)

WAZ - Western Arizona - DXers would love this one and could get Worked All 
Zones with one QSO
NIL - Northern Illinois - This would be a hard place from which to have a 
Golden Log
SUV - Southern Urban Valley - This one consists of anyone operating from a 
freeway in the Los Angeles basin
CPR - Central Puerto Rico - These are so rare, your heart stops when they call 
you
SID - Southern Idaho - Every time they call, the band goes dead
WAR - Western Arkansas - Don't get in a frequency fight with these guys
NUT - Northern Utah - The crazy guys moved here to get away from the Black 
Helicopters
SRI - Southern Rhode Island - You'll regret operating from here
CIA - Central Iowa - They never ID properly or submit logs
OLA - Outer Louisiana - Always tuning up...always
DOH - Downstate Ohio - Every QSO winds up busted somehow
CPA - Central Pennsylvania - They can account for every contact
OIL - Outer Illinois - Any truth to the rumor that these guys run gas?
EON - Eastern Ontario - Gosh, these operators are slow
IKY - Inner Kentucky - The signals from here are disgusting
WIN - Western Indiana - Obviously, THE place to be in any contest

See you in the PHONE (that's PHONE...not CW) Sweepstakes next weekend.

And then there was the time I moved to France for a year, and was loaned 
the callsign TV6MHZ to use in the WPX contest.  I also quickly learned
that S&Ping was not productive.

It was only slightly better with 4U1ITU - only because that people have
heard the call enough - but still not something people can latch onto
quickly.

The best callsigns?  Either double letters, or ones that spell something.

I worry about W7TTT, since it isn't "self-syncing".  I look forward to 
busting that callsign in future contests.

I think it is easy to understand why this takes as long as it does.  First,
it takes about 2 months to get all of the logs, and fix some of the problem
logs up (those that are missing information or logged the contest in local
time or sent in the previous year's log).  Then, the log crunching has to
occur, and in the past few years, there has been work put into improving 
the capabilities of that process at the same time.  Once the numbers are
generated, then the writeup needs to be written and folded into the schedule
of the two people in the contest department at the ARRL.  Then, finally, it
goes off to the printers and gets mailed out using the slow mail.

And that doens't mention the paper logs that have to be dealt with manually
(still about 10 percent).

Many things are changing that can reduce this time and already this has 
happened.  The robots are helping clean up problem logs in real time.
Publication of the results on the web eliminates the printing and 
mailing delay.  The log checking process is near "perfection" and requires
less development in parallel.  It might be very possible to have "final"
results for all stations within two months of the contest.

The ARRL has come up with a new schedule for results, and things are moving
up about 6 weeks for this year I understand.

WB0O goes on to wonder about uniques:

>   The question of what to do with uniques. This is
> probably meat for a years worth of discussion. IMHO,

This really isn't an issue in my opinion.  First off, uniques are only
a problem if a log has a lot of them.  All logs are going to have a few,
but when a log shows up with 10X the average (that aren't matched to 
busted calls), then this raises suspicions.  

For sure, any uniques a top scoring station has will be looked at.  There
have been some cases where it was obvious that "friends" got carried away
using multiple callsigns.  These QSOs were not removed, but in most cases,
these friends were encouraged to stick with one callsign, and to work some
other stations in the contest.

But - just to be clear - no uniques are removed without being judged to
be a busted callsign.

K4SB chimes in:

> I've gotten dinged for these "uniques" for the last 2 years. And
> afraid I sent a nasty

I am not sure this happened in the SS?  It takes a lot of unprobable 
events to occur for any unique to be "dinged".  Please provide specific
data if this is the case - as I would be intersted in knowing more about
it.  Uniques are not removed from any log without being identified as
a busted callsign.  This applies to all contests I am aware of (except
the Internet Sprints and Keyman Club of Japan contests which require
both logs to show the QSO to be counted).

If you are concerned about uniques being listed, then please understand
this is a tool to detect people that have way too many uniques, a sign
of manufactured QSOs.  It also flags possible bad QSOs that can later be
judged to be busted either by the software or a human.

Finally, WB0O asks for my opinion (a dangerous thing):

> The results would be posted in a week. Tree, your comments? 

I would not want to make the call on who makes the top ten in a tight race
without having all of the information available.  Part of the log checking
process involves cross checking the QSOs with the logs we have.  This will
detect not-in-log situations, as well as incorrect serial numbers.  

If we did this before all of the logs were in, the stations with higher
error rates will look better than they should.  For each NIL not detected,
there is a 2 QSO impact.  Thus, an inaccurate log will be more competitive
without all of the logs being used in the process.

Therefore, I would suggest that if you wanted even faster results than 
supported by the log submission deadline, you work to move up the log
submission deadline for all logs.

Finally, AA4GA asks an interesting question:

> How would deleting uniques make the reporting process faster?

It makes it a LOT easier - because uniques are much easier to detect than
busted calls.  You have no judgement involved at all.  A unique is simply
a callsign that nobody else worked.  It takes a lot more work and time to 
match these up to busted calls.  In a contest like the SS, that is pretty
easy because of the "quality" of the exchage (lots of good information that
can be used to help you match up the call).  For other contests, like the 
ARRL DX and CQ WW, where the exchange is pretty useless, it is a lot harder.
These contests would be about 100X times easier to check if uniques were
just not counted.

Please understand I am not proposing this...  I am just answering the 
question Lee asked.

November QST (p.104) says "We are still working on the schedule, but in 
general, the results should be available to ARRL members 3 to 4 months after 
the end of the event.  This allows us time to process logs, handle problems, 
add in paper logs and generate a nice write-up.  This is 2 to 3 months sooner 
than the current QST schedule."    For non-members the results will be 
available on the ARRL web site the month before the QST issue (i.e. early 
October for results that will be in November QST) - or 5 to 7 months after the 
contest.   At least that is the stated plan!

The only date that has been mentioned is that Logbook of the World would be 
implemented during 2002...    as of today that is still the plan.    The first 
sign of it being "real" will be a request for people to help out in the final 
testing phase by submitting test data.

 You would think the process would be quicker since everything is
computerized now. Before email came along (from what I remember) the CW
results would be in the Apr. issue of QST and SSB in May. Maybe that
10% of people who send paper logs are slowing down the process ?? 
Maybe they ought to just classify those paper logs a "check logs". I
doubt it would cause much of a fuss because I bet most of those logs
are probably from casual participants anyway...

  If you think about it... It's not how much power you run but the ERP
that you are getting from your antenna that makes you loud. Tree
probably would of beat me out in most pileups ... at least on the

maybe time for a tribander/wire class in SS like they have in WPX ???

Jeff,

Try a trapped vertical (actually half of an Cushcraft A3 driven element)
shooting into the side of a 4000' mountain (in the direction of all the
SS QSOs). I think we need a new precedence for situations like this
- it will be class "D" for dummy load or perhaps "P" short for "PW".
RF output power will be unlimited in this class as long as you can prove
that 90% of it is turned into heat in the antenna, feedline, or nearby
terrain (e.g. high EURP - effective unradiated power).

This will give all us lids who are loading up various forms of
moistened pasta, window frames, and home wiring a class to
compete in.

I agree with that completely.  All arguments aside about whether someone
with less than 13 wpm code speed should participate in SS, my philosophy
is - unless the other station is causing deliberate interference to me or 
being malicious, I just work him.  I'd never say "go away".

Whenever I get to running stations in ARRL DX, there are always some
stateside stations that call me.  They probably don't have a clue about
the contest rules and think they're doing me a favor by giving me some
points.  This usually happens on Sunday afternoon/evening.  I just work
them, log them and then keep that copy of the log but remove the QSO's for
the log I send to ARRL.  It's a sure thing that a good number of them are
going to send me QSL's!

Nope, I don't think ERP was the reason. Assuming Tree was running 5
watts, a 30db gain over real earth would be the equivilent of 160
watts to a dipole. And I don't know of any set of stacked yagis which
has that gain. Plus, you would have to have the ability to lower the
stack to get the desired take off angle. 5 degree TO is fine for DX,
but
you don't hear USA stations with it.

Tree was as loud as a rock band here, but I have to think the
operator, and location did the job.

Message-ID: <4.2.0.58.20021108220933.009b08c0@mail.comcast.net>

Speaking of callsigns which are hard to decipher, my worst experience came 
back in the late seventies (when I was at college in Arkansas) that I took 
a trip up to visit a buddy at the University of Missouri in Rolla, MO 
.  Jeff was not a ham, but had hung out with K5GO and I and had absorbed a 
lot of "contesting culture" at the original N5DX so he knew I'd be 
interested in trying out the club station, particularly since it was ARRL 
DX weekend.

The UMR club station was (and still is) W0EEE which was equipped with a 
Drake C-Line, SB-220 and (among other antennas) an 80M flat top dipole 
stretched between two 160' campus power station smokestacks.  Man, I could 
hardly wait.

It didn't take long before I came to discover how difficult it was to get a 
callsign full of "Es" through a 80M CW pileup.  Signal strength was not the 
issue - the callsign simply had no "inertia" to it.  Sending the call 
normally simply did not work.  The only thing that worked was "di dah dah, 
dah dah dah dah dah, dit (pause), dit (pause), dit".  It was humiliating...

After two hours, pizza sounded a lot better than low band frustration.

Hi Randy

Interesting post.  This year I've tried something new.  I
disconnected the amp and have been running the rigs barefoot
here.  I don't do a lot of CQ'ing--mostly s&p.  In the RTTY
contests I've been in, I can't really see any difference from
running 100 watts or 600 watts.  Still seem to get through on the
first call.  The wife, neighbors and everyone else seems to
appreciate me running low power now :-)  Think I'll go the rest
of the season running low power.  The only real difference I've
found is trying to work Eu on 40 from Oregon with low power, but
it can be done.  73

Ed, although I pretty much agree with your conclusion, I am
wondering where you got the 30dB figure? The difference
between 5 watts and 160 watts is 15dB (about 2.5 S units on
a calibrated meter). A good long boom monobander will do
about 9dB over a dipole at the same height. That leaves about
6dB needed for operating skill to match an "A" power guy with
a dipole at a good height for SS. Of course most of the really
competitive "A" scores are probably from guys with moderate
to good antenna systems (TH-7/402CD). In those cases, the
difference between the EIRP of the 150 watt guy and the QRP
superstation are even larger, requiring the QRP superstation
operator (and location) to make up for something like 9 to
12 dB of EIRP deficit (if I had to calibrate Tree's operating
skill I would put it closer to 12dB).

The one big advantage in my estimation that a superstation like
W5WMU can give an SS operator is a lot of different antennas
to chose from. The guy with a single TH-7 (or dipole for that
matter) can't overcome the physics of his antenna height. At
certain takeoff angles, he will invariably have nulls in his vertical
pattern. The guy with stacks can bip-bop around and fill these
nulls in. This can make a huge difference as anyone who has
switched from an antenna that is too high to one that is at
optimum height can testify. Being able to quickly switch
azimuth direction doesn't hurt either.

Once a few years back, I needed VE6 for a CW sweep.  Couldn't
fine one anywhere.  Just a few minutes before the end of the
contest I heard some VE6's rag-chewing on 80 so I broke in and
asked if someone could give me an exchange on CW.  One guy did
and I made my sweep.  Now, if I did that, it would probably get

Subject: [CQ-Contest] My best QRP story (not W5WMU)
Message-ID: <20021109055948.GA31131@kkn.net>

While operating at W5WMU this weekend was sure a surprise and
I am very pleased with the result, it actually isn't my best
QRP story.  I'll tell the WMU story afterwards.

I think it was Field Day in 1979, there was a 2A battery operation
in the Malibu mountains with the call N6VI.  This was when Marty Woll
and Wayne Overbeck, N6NB, had those neato tower trailers and they
had nice monobanders on a mountain top.

I wasn't able to be there for the whole weekend, but I agreed
to come do the night shift, from midnight until 6 AM.  Finding
a FD site during the night time can be a challenge, but I think
I made it just before it got totally dark.

I sat down in front of some kind of Japanese radio - the kind they
sell in Japan that only runs 5 watts.  It was on 20 meters and
N6NB settled down to get some sleep in the cabin of his motor home
(the same one you see on the cover of QST when he did an EME effort
on the Nevada/Utah state line or something like that).

What happened in the next six hours is hard for me to believe, even
today, but I was able to run on both 20 SSB and CW like I was running
a KW.  I actually could CLEAR A FREQUENCY on 20 meter phone by CQing.
This is something I am not sure I have ever done since.  

I was convinced there had to be an amplifier somewhere, but I operated
the whole period on one battery.  I QSYed to CW for awhile and then 
came back to phone.  I remember having something like 530 QSOs in 
that six hour period.  I think my best hour was in the 130s.

One of those magic moments I'll never forget.  Wayne now has a fine
station on another mountain top, and N6MU beat me in a phone SS when
I did QRP from home five years ago.

As far as what happened this weekend, I was determined to not make
myself any weaker than I had to.  I was going to aggressively CQ
with one radio for the whole contest - and S&P with the other.  

At the start, I was very lucky to have good conditions on 10 meters.
Most big guns would have started on 15, but I knew the higher in
frequency I could be, the easier it would be for me to attract 
attention.  I didn't need to be working the whole country either, 
I just needed propagation somewhere - anywhere where there were
stations.  

The first hour netted me 83 QSOs - with 60 CQs answered on 10 meters
and 23 QSOs on 15 with the second radio.  I pretty much stayed on
10 with the CQ radio for the first two hours - switching to 15 at 
22:47.  During that time on 10, I was getting good results to the
west coast and the northeast.  Begin able to have 4/4 to the NE and
4/4 to the NW at the same time was very useful.  

15 picked up pretty much where 10 left off.  I spent some time with
the second radio picking off the loud guys who were CQing on 10.  
By switching the run radio and second radio, it was like starting 
the contest all over again.  My second hour was 74 and the third
hour was 67 - 224 QSOs and I hadn't touched 20 meters yet.

The second radio moved to 20 at 0012Z where it made its 71st QSO.
The rate on 15 was still good - I had 39 QSOs in the 00Z hour and
35 there in the 01Z - all CQing.

When 15 started slowing down - I made a good decision and avoided 
trying to CQ on 20 meters.  One of the things I have learned about
W5WMU is to never underestimate what you can do on 40 meters.  One
year, my 20 meter coax fried in the first 10 minutes, and I went to
40 after a 30 minute break.  The result?  Over 1000 QSOs on 40 and 
my second victory.  I held my breath, and moved the CQ radio down 
to 40 meters and found a clear spot down in the bottom 10 kHz of
the band.

Would anyone hear me?  Would that 40 meter beam that was twisted
by Lili do the job?

Oh yeah.

My 02Z hour was 72 - with 61 QSOs on 40 meters and 9 second radio
QSOs on 20.  In the 03Z hour, I moved the second radio down to 80 
and chased the W9s (to whom I hadn't had much of a chance to work
yet and they were having a very tough time with the aurora).  

I think the aurora really helped me - as the transcontinental signals
were down and I was far enough south to have a direct path to both
coasts.

03Z netted 42 QSOs on 40 and 36 for each of the two hours after that.  

I felt like I lost focus some and took a break in the 06Z hour,
which had only 17 QSOs in it.  Getting back on 40 resulted
hours of 46 and 38 (with about a quarter of those coming from
the second radio on 80).  I went to bed at 0900Z with 674 QSOs
in the log - pretty much where I had hoped to be.

After three hours of sleep, I got back on 40 and 80 and kept 
going.  However, after about 30 minutes, I pretty much had worked
80 meters out and 40 was starting to slow down...  After 3 minutes
of CQing with no results, I boldly decided to go to 20 meters 
and try CQing there.  I heard one or two signals on the band, and
they were pretty loud.  There wasn't enough activity to S&P, 
so I called CQ at 12:37 and got called by AJ1E in EMass with a 
big signal  I think I was on 14009 or so.  I worked a QSO on
40 with the sceond radio, and then VE1ZJ called me on 20 and 
then K1VDF in Ct.  This band was wide open to the Northeast 
and it didn't seem like anyone else was on the band.  In the 
last 23 minutes of the 12Z hour, I had 11 QSOs on 20.  Not great,
but it was good production for the second day of the SS.  The
overall hour came in at 44 - a total any B power station would be
happy with at this point in the contest.

The 13Z hour was magic on 20 - with 33 answers to my CQs to go 
with 14 second radio QSOs on 40.  This is also when VO1HE called
me on 20 to give me the last mult I would get.  This really saved
me from getting burnt later on trying to bust through VO1MP's 
pileup.  

During the 14Z hour, 20 started getting crowded and it was
time to move to 15 and hope that the same kind of thing would
repeat itself.  15 came through with 28 answers to my CQs in 
the 14Z hour to go with 12 second radio QSOs on the second 
radio.  That adds up to 40 - another great hour.

I pretty much hung out on 15 for most of the daytime.  I would
use a 30 minute break here and there to give the band a chance
to recover with fresh stations to work.  As the day wore on, my
second radio production started to fall off.  I just kept tuning 
over the same stations over and over again.  I did manage 50 second
radio QSOs in the last 6 hours, but only 12 in the last 3.  That
was one of the surprises for me - is that this high of a percentage
of my QSOs would come from CQing in the last 3 hours.  The second
radio did pick up in the last hour, when it seemed that a lot of
new stations showed up on the bands.

My average rate for the afternoon was just over 30 QSOs an hour.
There were many times were nobody would answer me for 4 or 5 
minutes, but then I would get 2 or 3 stations calling in and that
would set me up for another dry spell.

Around 0100Z, I had 1069 QSOs and a big storm blew in.  I used up
my last off time and went outside to watch the rain.  I got back
on at 0131 on 20 meters, rain static and all, to see if I could 
get some rate going.  That first 30 minutes yielded only 10 QSOs.
There is a gap of 13 minutes in the log with nothing.  Finally,
K7SS called me and woke me up.  However, the next 30 minutes 
only yielded 8 QSOs!!  A 7 minute and a 8 minute gap showed up.
I tried CQing on 40, and would get one or two answers, and then
nothing.  I was really worried about having enough margin to 
break the record after log checking at this point.

Finally, around 0230, some new stations started showing up on
the bands.  Also, 20 meters seemed to settle a little for me
and I started getting a few answers.  The last 30 minutes yielded
18 QSOs - the same as the previous hour.  It felt wonderful to
crawl over 1100 QSOs (thanks to KM3T for calling in for #1100).  
I did spend the last 10 minutes CQing on 40 and had 4 stations 
answer to go with one QSO on 20 to end up at 1105.

Finally, it was time for a Corona and to tune in on 3830 to hear 
how the high power shootout went.

I feel I was lucky to pick a weekend to do this when conditions 
were poor for many people.  My geographical location played 
really well.  If conditions the first night had been more
like the conditions the second night, I think I would not
have had anywhere near the success I did.

In summary, the things that really worked well for me were:

- Able to CQ on 10 meters with results for two hours at the
start of the contest.

- Being able to avoid 20 meters for the first three hours of
the contest - and pretty much skipping it to go to 40.

- The endless answers to my CQs on 40.

- Good second radio production on 80.

- Fantastic production on 20 to start the morning.

- Crawling along on 15 during the day at around 30/hour.

About the only thing that didn't go well was those couple
of hours before things picked up right at the end.  If I
hadn't have had at least one break when the storm hit, it
would have been much worse.

I also never heard VY1JA - so that was a missed multiplier.

So there you have it - the long story.  The radios were the
same TS850s I used last year.  I checked their wattermeters
against a bird slug and they ended up the power control all
the way down, and the carrier between 11 O'clock and 12
O'clock (depended on the band and match).  It would have been
nice to have done this with my K2, but I am not quite 
comfortable enough yet with it to use it in a major contest.

See http://www.kkn.net/~tree/gallery for the pictures.

And thanks for all of the QSOs!

That's obscene!

Is the ARRL actually tossing uniques because they're uniques now?  I 
haven't been keeping up with the state of the super-duper-log-
checking.  I remember CQ reports them, but I don't think they remove 
them just because they're unique.

Please tell me the ARRL isn't doing that now...if they are, it just 
gives me one more reason to be upset with the League.

Sigh,

Lee

Hmmm...when I learned the code, and 8 months later, when I passed the 
20 wpm Extra code test, I didn't do it because of any commercial or 
military viability.  I just wanted my ham ticket.  That was incentive 
enough.  And I had no desire to operate code at that time...it was 
only after I had gained a reasonable degree of proficiency that I 
began to enjoy using CW and started using it as a matter of choice.

It's the best incentive...but I'm odd anyway...I took the CPA exam 
more as a personal challenge than for the potential income benefit...

Wrong.  A "unique" is a good QSO unless proven otherwise.  Why is that 
concept so hard to grasp?

Just this evening, Tree addressed this issue ...

"But - just to be clear - no uniques are removed without being judged
to be a busted callsign."

and

"Uniques are not removed from any log without being identified as
a busted callsign."

Our FQP log checking procedures are exactly the same.  If a "unique" 
cannot be verified to be busted, it stays in the log.

Having played around with log checking software, I know that "uniques" 
can easily be tossed from the log, and doing so, would certainly speed 
up the log checking process.  Verifying "uniques" as valid is probably 
more time consuming, than keying in paper logs or fixing non-Cabrillo 
log formats.

So why bother with checking "uniques"?  Because every QSO you make, 
should be worth the effort spent making it ... and not having your 
efforts go to waste because a piece of software arbitrarily toss it from 
your log.

Dave,

Interesting story.  Yet, I always felt that W3EEE was a really effective call 
on cw, especially with the way he uses a very short pause after each E.

Back in the 70s...W0EEE was very active on the bands and in contest.  So 
was W0QQQ from
Kansas State University.  My point here is that W0QQQ could almost break 
your arm after about 10 hours of contesting.  EEE is very short....QQQ 
takes a long times to send  No memory keyers.  No punch tape.  Just a ten 
tec KR5 pounding out code.  When I graduated from KSU and got a job...one 
of the first purchases I made was an Autek Memory Keyer.

I thought Tree just categorically dealt with that, when he said that ONLY 
if a unique was shown to be a busted call would it get tossed.  Tree knows

Lee,

You can relax.  Tree cited the only two contests (neither of which are
involved in this discussion) that require both logs to be submitted and show
all qsos correctly for either to count.

Please understand that uniques are only identified as such by ARRL & CQWW -
THEY ARE NOT REMOVED FROM YOUR LOG !

Uniques are innocent until proven guilty. Read that again.

Tree, who writes the software and performs the log checking, made it clear
MANY times in his post that uniques are only tossed if they are proven to be
busted. No offence intended to anybody, but do consider the source on these
matters.

The only way they can be proven to be busted is if at the same time you
claim to have worked KV4Z, K4VZ claims to have worked you or KV4Z has no
record of a Q with you or other corroborating evidence that proves you got
the call wrong.

If I got on Sunday afternoon and worked one person, that would be a unique,
but would stand. If you busted my call to VE4XY, even that would stand
unless I sent in a checklog for one QSO (like, how likely is that?). If I
worked 100, 99 of whom got my call correctly, the QSOs would stand for all
100, even the guy who busted my call UNLESS I sent in a checklog, and even
though the preponderance of circumstantial evidence suggests that station
busted my call. But circumstantial evidence is not enough.

Now, let's say I don't work anybody, and 100 other stations don't work
anybody. If our 101 callsigns show up in someone's log, that's suspicious.
Possibly suspicious enough that the log checkers would attempt to contact
us. If we say we were not operating in that contest and did not work
anybody, those 101 Qs would likely be tossed. (Should there be a DQ?
Probably.)

But there needs to be proof to toss uniques, even in the above example.

Innocent until proven guilty. Clear?

This is a post, that IMHO, may play well among the superstation crowd but
would get little support from those of us with more modest stations.

Randy's station probably does not qualify for superstation status, but he
certainly has an impressive array of aluminum even so.

The thing about A vs. B is that A lets people break into the Top 10 even
with a TA33 at 42 feet and a G5RV at 35 (me, last year, @ ve4yu). I wouldn't
have had a hope in B, or in a new A without B. A-class is still very
competitive, but squeezing all the Big Guns into A, I think, would act as a
disincentive to some ops.

I think the A vs. B distinction is important for reasons that go beyond any
need for power.

I like WB0O's Top 20 suggestion more than I like the idea of eliminating B,
but I think that Top 20 would then become mandatory if you wiped out B.

I am afraid my understanding of "uniques" has been in error. I was
under the impression they were automatically removed from the log
simply because they appeared in the UBN.
Apparently, such is not the case, unless further evidence is present.

With some really excellent help from Tree, I think I now understand
and apologize if I
have led others astray.

I read Tom's post before Tree's.  Had I read Tree's first, I most 
likely wouldn't have posted a reply.  Read that again.

That being said, I have been burned in the past by the super-duper 
log checking routines myself, so I'm fairly sensitive about the 
potential of having QSOs removed when they are, in fact, valid.

Ever since these guys started talking about this super-duper log 
checking and introduced terms such as "unique QSO", there has been 
talk of someday removing uniques.  It should never happen.

I do consider Tree to be a fine individual, that's not in question.  

I do question the super-duper log checking process though.

Consider first, that this is a hobby - at least it is for me.

Consider that I, and 95% (guess) of the others involved would not 
manufacture contacts for the sake of increasing their score.  

Consider that everyone makes errors in copying from time to time, and 
errors in sending also - even when using a computer for sending CW, 
due to computer hiccups, RFI, whatever.

Consider that the process is rife for sabotage.

> But there needs to be proof to toss uniques, even in the above example.

How about this for a scenario...VE4XT works AA4GA, who makes 100 QSOs 
and sends in a log.  AA4GA's computer or VOX hiccuped and sent his 
call as AA4GT.  That happened when VE4XT logged him (as AA4GT).  
After log checking, wouldn't the QSO be removed from VE4XT's log?  

> Innocent until proven guilty. Clear?

Wasn't VE4XT just proven of being guilty in the previous example?  
Was he guilty?  Clearly.

How about this for a slightly off-topic, but related scenario...VE4XT 
works AA4GA, who makes 100 QSOs and sends in a log.  AA4GA remembers 
back to the last contest when VE4XT "stole" his frequency and decides 
to not log the QSO.  After log checking, wouldn't the QSO be removed 
from VE4XT's log?  Isn't he being penalized for something he didn't 
do?

So, you see, this whole log checking process, while possibly well-
intentioned, just doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling.  I'm pretty 
sure most of the folks involved in it will admit that it's not 100% 
accurate, but that the error is acceptable.  I don't agree, that's 
all.

Dear Fellow Contesters,

We want to invite you to take part in LZ DX Contest which will be held
12.00 GMT on Saturday 16th of November to 12.00 GMT Sunday 17th
of November 2002.
LZ DX contest is a nice opportunity for warming up just prior to big CQWW CW 
contest.
The rules are very similar to IARU Radiosport - you can work everyone -getting 
3pts for out of your continent QSOs and 1pt for in continent QSOs.
Of course you will get 6 pts for QSO s with LZ stations.

Multiplier - ITU zones on each band - just like in IARU test.

So, be there and have fun ! We'll be happy to work you on 80 through 10m on CW 
!!!

Full rules : http://www.qsl.net/lz1fw/contest

73's and see you in the contest

I have several times had legitimate QSOs struck from my logs where a true 
unique was considered a busted call because a station with a nearly identical 
call to the one I worked as a unique sent his call in.

I sometimes get on and just work one or two of my friends in a contest but 
don't bother sending in a log.  If N7DM, for example, is on in that contest and 
works three or four people but doesn't send in his log either, then it's very 
likely the QSOs I made will be shown as busted calls rather than uniques.  To 
prevent this I usually try to work at least three other stations in other 
categories that I am sure will send in their logs.

As a check in a recent major contest where I made well over 1500 QSOs I 
recorded the entire contest on LP video tapes with a digital clock in the 
video, my audio on one track and the received audio on the other track.  I 
played back the entire contest and verified 100% of my contacts deleting all 
log entries where there was any doubt of the two way QSO.  When I checked  the 
log analysis results I still had nearly 2% of my contacts disallowed as busted 
calls and only 11 unique calls listed.  I went back and reconfirmed the 
contacts where the QSOs were shown as busted and every contact was clearly 
identified as the station I had in the log.

I don't think any system will be 100% accurate but I think there are still too 
many chances for losing legitimate QSOs.  I wonder if something like the 
Super-Check-Partial could look at past contest activity and prevent calls being 
shown as busted if they showed up in past contests.

Has anyone had any experience with Sitecom(or any other) USB-Serial adapter? 
Looking to get one to use with a laptop so I have at least 2 serial ports for

Any comments?

Perhaps someone can explain what the log checkers would do with this one.  
Let's say WC4E is on in a contest (NAQP or SS for example), but I don't work 
him.  However, I do work WC4I who is trolling across the band and works me 
because he knows me, but works no one else.  He doesn't send in a log, and 
either does WC4E.  How do the log checkers handle that unique in the log I 
sent in.....valid QSO, possible busted, or what?

I may see more of this than others, but it does seem that some of the DXing
crowd can be a little impatient for their QSLs & may not entirely appreciate
things from the DX side, especially if the DX station does his own cards.

There also seems to be a tendency for folks in that group to believe that
QSLs make it possible for the DX station to give up his or her day job, which
is absolute bollocks.

Thanks to N5NJ for putting me in touch with KC5TJG - which is what started
this thread: he received my QSL okay.

Can you be more specific about which contest?  The situation you describe
wouldn't result in QSOs being removed in most of the contests I know about.

Well, I hope this wasn't a competitive log as most people feel that listening
to a tape and checking the information after the contest is not in the 
spirit of the contest.

Again, I would like to know specifics.  What contest?  What were the 
callsigns?  I will do what I can to understand what the story is and
report back.

Again - what contest?  What are the specifics of what you found on tape?

You have two things confused:

1.  If you logged 5C8N and HC8N shows a QSO with you at the same date/time, 
that is a busted call.

2.  If you logged AC1D and you are not in AD1C's (submitted) log at that 
date/time, and AC1D did not send in a log, then you either worked a unique 
call, or AD1C didn't log you (not in log).  This is different from the 
busted call example in #1 above.

Hi Richard
Have a look at the following page from Don, AA5AU, who did a fair bit of
investigation on this subject.
http://www.aa5au.com/usb.html
I have used several of the usb/serial type cables costing about ?25 and they
all work well for rig control and keying.  They DO NOT cope with sending and
receiving FSK very well so be wary if that is your application.

Simple.  Since your example contest, NAQP or SS, has the state/section 
as part of the exchange, the log checker will check what you logged, 
WC4E=FL or WCF and WC4I=KY.  If both of these are logged correctly, 
you'll get credit for both QSO's.

It "may" not be as simple for other contests without states/section or 
other identifying exchange information.  In this case, it's back to if 
it can't be proven to be bad, then it should be counted as a good QSO.

This is also a good argument to SEND IN A LOG ... no matter how big or 
small.  The more logs there are to work with, the more accurate the log 
checking process can be.

Message-ID: <3a.2f44af82.2b01127d@aol.com>

Hi to all,
Thanksgiving will find me in Northern Indiana. We'll head back to Tennessee 
on Saturday.
If I can get on while traveling home should I sign K4BEV/M and then K4BEV 
once I arrive; or just sign K4BEV the entire contest (skipping the mobile 
part)? Or just forget trying to work the contest in the car?
The reason I'm asking this is because the /Ms seem to get attention when S&P 
and it would also explain my asking for even more fills than usual (hi).
On the other hand I may be better off just waiting till Sunday to play. 
Mobile pretty much restricts me to 20m trying to work DX with the antenna I 
have for my XYL's car.
How would you handle this?
At least I'll be in Zone 4 the entire time. We almost went to my brother's 
which would have had me starting in 5 and ending up in 4, which may have been 
interesting.

73, Don - K4BEV

The contest this year is not on Thanksgiving weekend but the weekend before!
That is the CQWW CW, only happens once in a while.

DUH!
I'm not sure which date I had confused - The contest's or Thanksgiving's.
In any event -- Problem Solved.
AND I won't be wondering if my radio is broken on the way home.

Get a Belkin F5U103.  I've had dismal failures with two other adaptors, 
and then found this one mentioned on AA5AU's RTTY website.  Seems to 
work with about any software.  You can even set up to work in a DOS 
window, name the com port, assign an IRQ, and run with DOS loggers like NA.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Kansas QSO Party?
Message-ID: <00b301c289a1$ede2d100$27d7fea9@mirage>

Does anyone out there in contest land know if there is going to be a Kansas QSO 
Party in January of 2003?  The Web site from 2002 - 
www.ksarrl.net/qso/2002ksqso.htm - doesn't work and emails to last year's 
sponsor go unanswered.

73, Ward N0AX

Sorry I'm a few days late on this one.

I don't agree, especially since many actual copying mistakes have this exact
symptom.  I think this should be a wake-up to the transmitting station to
pay attention to what his computer is saying about him.

There is at least one program out there which is smart enough to compensate
for most situations where some other programs could send the unintended
number.  It is user-configurable to send the number of the last QSO under
these circumstances.  It works good, but the bottom line is listen to your
own code, and don't cause someone else to get dinged becuase of your own
errors.

I don't like loosening up the accuracy requirements just to compensate for
lazy operating.

Or did I miss something and it has always been this way?

Mark, N5OT

Is it true that the League is coming out with a Top-11 box?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

However, he did not catch that neither station (WC4I or WC4E) submitted a
log in your example.

In your scenario, since no logs were submitted that could prove that you did
not work WC4I, WC4I would just be marked as a Unique in your log, and no
credit lost for the QSO.

Dear Contesters,

Please check the CQ WW web page at http://www.cqww.com to see that your log 
was received at ssb@cqww.com. Besides your call, your category is listed.

The CQ WW Contest Committee wants to thank the thousands of contesters who 
have successfully transitioned to the Cabrillo format. By submitting a 
Cabrillo log you not only insure any errors that we might make are greatly 
reduced, you also make the work of the CQ WW Contest Committee much easier. 
Thank you!

If you have not submitted a log for the SSB CQ WW please do not be 
intimidated by Carbillo, we will help you out if you need help. By submitting 
your log no matter how small (we have already received logs with 1 and 2 
QSO's), you will make the CQ WW better for everyone.

The CQ WW CW records have been updated through 2001.

Message-ID: <001901c289dd$1147efa0$0100a8c0@joe>

Greetings all,

I will once again be authoring the writeup for next weekend's contest for
QST. There won't be line scores but there will be more space for story and
pictures. I need your help.

I'll be up to my elbows in SS myself, and the Gulfstream II is in the shop,
so I won't be able to fly around collecting photos. So please try to keep in
mind that every good magazine article needs some good pictures to go with
it. If you have a digital camera, or a means to digitize photos, please try
to have someone take some snaps. (Multiops, especially, should have no
trouble finding someone to press the shutter release.)

Here's what I'd like:
1. Candid photos of humorous situtations during the contest or during set-up
or take-down periods. It would be great if these were situations aside from
obvious op-at-radio shots.
2. Portrait-like photos: if you have a sneaking suspicion you're in Top 10
in any category, please try to have a photo of yourself, perhaps in all your
post-contest, unshaven (or otherwise depending on gender), stressed-out
glory, smiling into the camera with the station used in the background.
3. Artsy photos: close-up of your FT1000 Mk V tuning knob and readout;
time-delay exposure of your aluminum farm with the stars moving across the
sky; etc. Be creative. Please, only those radios or antenna farms used for
SS, but arsty pics need not be taken during the contest.

Technical specs: publishing electronic photos to magazine-like quality
requires considerable resolution. But the details aren't that complicated.

Resolution: 300 dpi
Size: eight inches on the long side.
File size: should be about 600 kB or larger. (Don't hesitate to send larger
files.)

E-mail your photos to my work address: kelly.taylor@freepress.mb.ca

I will likely get more pix than I need, so I will offer what I don't send to
QST to contesting.com, if they would like them.

73, kelly

It was more of a general statement to everyone to submit a log ... even 
if it's just a checklog.

For more reading on log checking, UBN reports, and how uniques are 
handled, check out http://www.cqww.com/ubn-nil.html

Might be "old news" to some ... but might help others.

Hi Richard,

I'm using a USB-> Serial adapter. I got it from the local
PC dealer. I can't tell you exactly the brand, but it
wasn't a popular company.

The adapter is working great. I'm using it for radio
controlling (TS850 or FT1000) with my notebook.

Even CW Out in comination with writelog is working
great on the serial adapter.

Zoli, HA1AG is describing on his webpage at QSL.NET
a PCMCIA controller which supplies you 4 (!) serial
Ports for quite a good prize ( I believe it was less
than $50). But I couldn't find a german dealer
who's selling the adapter.

My experience:

Bad calls that are not sometimes get removed from your log.  I have QSLs & even
a copy of the license of one station which had been deemed to be bad calls in
CQ WW.

Do not hesitate to approach CQ WW committee about such calls.  They are
reasonable.  However, expect them to put some extra effort to turn other Us 
into
Bs as a result of your effort to convince them that some Bs were Us - end 
result: not
worth the effort.

Uniques _are_ removed from CQ WW RTTY logs.

Since RTTY isn't a "real" mode, this should not worry most here.

I really don't understand why the RTTY log checkers think that they're in their
own little world when it comes to log checking.  Witness the fiasco about
marking QSOs with UA9S stations as invalid when the UA9S sent Zone 17 instead
of Zone 16 which is what the log checking software expected.  *EVEN THOUGH
EVERYONE COPIED THE SAME ZONE FROM HIM!*

I don't understand why they can't look outside of their opaque bubble and learn
how these problems are dealt with in the real world.

Really?

That doesn't seem like a fair application of the process.  Is this 
what CQ says, or is it supposition based on human nature, i.e. "Oh 
yeah, I'll show him"?

> end result: not worth the effort. 

That's been my experience with trying to reason with them over the 
log-checking process.

Well - which is more fair?

1. A non-automated process applied unevenly to a few logs. (This is the
old method of log checking before about 12 years ago).

2. An automated process that is evenly applied to all logs without any 
special consideration given to any log.

3. An automated process applied to all logs, and a few of them get special
consideration where each possible questionable judgement is challenged
without any possibility of an equal amount of attention given to possible
errors that could result in the score being reduced?

Most log checking processes I know of will default to give credit unless some 
criteria for busting the QSO is met.  The criteria should be sufficient to have
a high degree of confidence that a call is wrong.  In some cases, the wrong
decision might be made (when some number of improbable events line up). 

However, it should be even more likely that there will be callsigns that are
really bad - but the checking process was unable to determine what the bad
callsign was...  and therefore it was counted as a good QSO with a unique 
callsign.  Some manual work on the part of the log checker can probably 
figure out what the busted call is - but they don't have time to do this
for all logs - so it gets done for none (except maybe for a pair of logs
that are very close in the results).

For example, in the ARRL DX contest - the log checking really stinks.  I 
would estimate that only about 25 percent of errors made are detected by
the program.  Also, maybe one out of 100 of the bad calls is really good...
so the process isn't perfect.  However, I would argue that it is effective.

Trying to improve the error detection in the ARRL contest will result
in a significant increase in the false bust rate - which I think would
be too high to defend.  

I think that applying this process to all logs - without special consideration
is the most fair way to use it.  When someone comes up with a case where
the wrong decision was made...  I will look to see if a process change can
be made to address that specific case - which can then be used to re-run all
of the logs.

I think the important point to take away from this is that the first objective
of the log checking process is to make sure the order of finish is correct.
In other words, that the right person is winning the contest.  I think having
a totally defendable 100 percent correct log checking report is not the goal.

In the NBA - no ref gets all of the calls right.  However, they tend to get 
most of them right and the errors tend to average out (and this coming from a 
Portland Trailblazer fan no less).

It wouldn't be fair to let one of the teams challenge each call that goes
against them without the other team having the same opportunity.

As far as AA4GA's comment about log checkers not being willing to work
with him - I would sure like to know which contest that was for??  CQ WW?
What specifically was the problem?  I don't believe this is the normal
experience for people who approach them.

Forgot all about UA9S - I should check these things more closely, but when 
I see
a mainland China zone 23 contact in my log thrown out because I logged what the
station sent & that station sent the correct zone as bits of mainland China are
indeed in zone 23, I need not look further.

Obviously, official calls are not available for some countries.
However, the US, JA, and most of Eu do have official databases.

Just taking the US alone, I can download the latest FCC database,
filter it to remove some calls, and then have a perfectly reliable
database of good US calls. Now, reverse engineer it, and you have a
database of calls which are not issued. Run every US call in the logs
against this database, and you have a clear idea of "busts".

If you limited the database to 4 and 5 letter calls, it's even more
ridiculously simple.

Yes, it was CQWW.

> What specifically was the problem?  

I've discussed the situation several times here on the reflector, but 
Tree must not have noticed...besides having a life, he's been 
teaching computers how to compare logs.

Basically, I had a multiplier removed because the other station 
failed to log a QSO.

> I don't believe this is the normal experience for people who approach

It was in this case.

Tree has, however, assured me that the log-checking procedures have 
been changed such that in a similar circumstance today, the 
multiplier would not be removed from my log.

That does show progress.  Further progress would include penalties 
for the offending station.  

The CQWW log-checkers don't claim 100% accuracy.  They're too smart 
to do that.  *I* certainly don't have the answer.  I do know that it 
doesn't sit well with me when I'm on the receiving end of an 
"acceptable" injustice.

First, I'm not sure how/why any RTTY log checking should be of any interest
to some of those subscribed to "this here" reflector, as you have so stated
so well, "RTTY isn't a real mode"! I admire any/all log checkers, and have
very little interest as to how the logs are checked, as long as the same

is "room for improvement", just as I'm sure that "improvement" will come?

My experience with the CQWW guys agrees with Tree's assessment.  They were
polite and willing to explain in detail what had happened.  Perhaps it
depends on how you approach the issues with them.

I walked away from several email exchanges having even more confidence in
their log checking.

Seems to me that what Tree said was that the most important thing is 
uniformity of treatment.

If you lose a mult when you are sure you had a QSO, but the QSO is not in 
the other station's log, then there are a variety of possible explanations 
reflecting culpability on the part of either station .  In CQWW, without 
serial numbers or any variable in the exchange, there's no solid way to 
tell if he didn't log you, or you thought you worked him when he was 
working someone else.

Which log-checking/penalty approach is chosen is always arguable, and can 
evolve from year to year.  It seems to me it's very important that we all 
have a clear expectation of being treated the same at any given time.  That 
way, if the problem is, for example, stations that don't log domestic QSOs 
in CQWW, we can put all sorts of social pressure on them to quit this 
despicable practice.

Not a good idea.  For example ...

Most stations will log me as WD4AHZ ... some log me as WD4ASZ.

WD4AHZ WAS in the contest ... WD4ASZ was not, but is a legitimate call.

Using your method, WD4ASZ would be "good" ... even though it's an 
obvious "bust"?  Is THIS how you want the logs scored?

It's made even worse if I don't send in a log for cross-checking purposes.

  Seems as though a lot of folks don't remember the days
prior to computer logging.
  It was a system that was easily manipulated, since not all

  I get dinged as well as most others, but it is still a

Not at all. The log checking program in its present form would find
the "bust" when compared against your log, and I commend you for
sending it in. Those who logged WD4ASZ would unfortunately get credit.

But, I think you have missed the point. The purpose I proposed will
not help in the above problem, but ( and I am assuming the following
calls are not issued ), if someone logged you WB4AHZ, and that call is
not issued, they get a bust without any doubt. And there are numerous
other combinations of your call which may or may not be issued.

My suggestion was to make it a 100% certainly that a call which is not
issued, for example my old call in 1955, K4DJC, will generate a
guaranteed bust.

Just for fun, I removed all but the calls from my 2002 SSCW log, and
the wrote a short program which compared my log against the actual
database. It found 2 calls which were not issued. I then checked them
against my Buckmaster CDROM, and on QRZ.com and all 3 confirmed that
no such call had been issued.

And yes, after a couple of friendly arguments with the robot, I had
submitted my log BEFORE i did this.

        For zones 3, 4, and 5, I prefer a twist on the dreaded Field Day "please
copy" exchange:

R PSE LOG 5NN T3

        This presumes the op on the other end can/will copy plain language at 
his
sending speed in an exchange. That's not always the case.

Obviously there are a variety of reasons why a QSO would not appear in the
other station's log.  

While I think it's unlikely this reason was what happened to Lee, I can
think of at least one situation where the not-in-log-real-QSO *should* cost
someone a mult..  And yes, I'm about to bring back up a past debate...

Specifically, when someone's running without IDing with reasonable
frequency.

It is of course quite common in some contests to encounter people running
without IDing after every QSO.  When I run across an ending QSO, if I don't
*know* the running station is a dupe, (i.e., they didn't ID) I'll dump in my
call.  If the running station comes back, I say "CALL? 5NN 04".  Usually,
the response is something like "TU DX0XD".  However...

Sometimes the response is simply "TU".  I'll sit around for another QSO
(maybe more if they sent Zone 26<grin>) but if they haven't IDd by then, the
QSO is scratched.  

Now it's very unlikely anybody's going to lose their W or Zone 4 multiplier
that way!  It will show up as a bad QSO in the log-checking process.

And IMHO it should.  You obviously can't have a valid QSO if both operators
don't know each other's callsigns.

Message-ID: <000c01c28b32$6b868980$1f7df3d8@n7df>

There are several things that should be considered when, through one method or 
another, you know for certain that you worked a particular station  but the log 
checking process showed the QSO as a unique, busted call or not in log:

1.  The other guy may have sent his call wrong.

2. There may be a pirate using someone else's call or a fictional call.

3.  Someone may accidentally send someone else's call instead of his.  This is 
possible in some logging programs. (i.e. in CT hit F5 instead of F4)

4. The station that actually came back to you was someone other than the 
station you were calling.  This happens a lot as I have confirmed by replaying 
tapes of QSOs.

5.  You may have typed the other station's call wrong.

6.  The other guy may have typed your call wrong.

7. The other guy may have accidentally erased your call from his log.

8.  You may be depending on a packet spot for the other guy's call and it is 
wrong on the Packet spot.

9.  Gremlins may have invaded your head and you are imagining things.

Remember E equals I times R is not just a good idea.  IT'S THE LAW!!!

If the log checking process declares calls as bad despite my receiving
requests for QSLs from those stations, or because VU3s do not exist, or
seemingly on a hunch (a VS6 portable DU _must_ be dodgy), I & perhaps
others are being docked for perfectly valid Qs.

On the first pass, all Us that were -Bs were identified as such.  To go back
later & decide more Us were in fact -Bs is not only counterproductive (by
discouraging bringing anything up to begin with), but also begs the question
why they weren't called -Bs the first time around.

Dock me for my mistakes.  But docking me for other stuff when there may not
be much room for improvement as I strive to work my way up the CQ WW
Honor Roll isn't on.

Looking forward to seeing if submitting entries with a dozen or two Qs at most
solves this - it should also do wonders about those pesky QSLs.  ;^)

Not deleting uniques, being a bit more cognizant of where bits of the world
are - perhaps even considering what has been developed over the years
for log checking in mainstream contests?

If you are after setting a record or competing at the continental level, you
too might begin to wonder what's the point of struggling to work some
weak guy that may be deleted from your log as he didn't work enough other
stations during the contest....

Otherwise, I agree with Shelby's get-on-&-have-fun approach.

Your idea would give credit for WD4ASZ, and any other "issued" 
combination of my busted call, which I disagree with.

The "current" log checking process, would "ding" WD4ASZ, WB4AHZ, and any 
other combination that cannot be verified (not issued, busted as 
verified by comparing logs, etc.)

I fail to see how your idea would improve log-checking ... it'll allow 
more "bad" QSO's to be counted, which is NOT the point of log-checking.

First, Most uniques stay in the final log.  Only one contest removes uniques
and if you don't like that write or e-mail the sponsor and then if no
results don't work the contest!

Years ago the process was to cross check as many as the checkers had time
and remove dupes that were not removed (when found).   Don N4IN is generally
given credit for identifying uniques and starting to take action.   He would
enter all calls in a file on a TRS-80 and list out by call each unique.
However he did not remove uniques.  He did this for two reasons...1.
Because he had the time 2. Some DX had far more uniques that the rest of the
contestants.  This also gave him a second layer of cross checks.

What the modern log checking has evolved into is two layers of testing...

1.    Cross checking all contacts no matter how large or small the log for
logs received and
        in electronic format.  Having one format such as cabrillo makes this
easy on the                 checkers plus gets the results done faster!

2.    All uniques and busts are then identified and the resulting file for
the contest contains the checked log along with all UBN's.  N or not in log
are removed and penalty applied.
B or busts are identified by fuzzy logic which has been proven to be
accurate.  These are removed as many are dupes.  Uniques are checked and at
least in my checking most are
left are pure uniques but some are marked for review by the log checkers in
the file.  If a log is clean with no exceptions the log is made final.  The
exceptions noted are reviewed by several criteria.  They are good unless
proven bad by the checkers.  The checkers make final changes to the logs and
the final file is made ready for reporting.

What has happened is all the logs are now given equal and fair treatment.
At least in the CQ 160 Contests the final scores are thus more fair and
accurate.  I think the ARRL and the CQ WW contests are the same way.

Now if we can find a way to make sure a log is received.  Every year several
who claim to have send a hand log don't get in and the same for e-logs.
Some e-logs just get lost.  If they are not on archive at the robot or in my
e-mail log files I have no way to know if the contestant sent one.  The
final court is to get a copy of the robot reply with the log number.  Every
year one or two can't show this thus they get left out.

Larry has pointed out a bunch of situations that may result in 
NIL...here are my comments on 'em:

On 13 Nov 2002 at 9:33, Larry N7DF wrote:

Since the pirate is probably not going to send in a log, it most 
likely wouldn't result in a ding.

Then the QSO should not be removed from my log.  It is an error of 
the sending station...but similar to #2 in that there probably won't 
be a ding due to no log sent in under the wrong call.

Yes it does, and probably both stations should be penalized, as the 
QSO was not properly completed.  That's not what happened in my case 
BTW.

> 5.  You may have typed the other station's call wrong. 

If I typed the other station's call wrong, I should get dinged.  But 
my understanding of the software is that it is smart enough to 
determine that that is what happened and righteously removes the QSO 
and assesses the appropriate penalty...assuming it was a fairly 
simple typo.

> 6.  The other guy may have typed your call wrong. 

Then he should get dinged.  Again, I think the software will likely 
flag that.

> 7. The other guy may have accidentally erased your call from his log. 

Then *he* should be penalized, not me.

> 8.  You may be depending on a packet spot for the other guy's call and
> it is wrong on the Packet spot. 

No one should rely on a packet spot to get a callsign.  You should be 
assessed double the normal penalty for logging a call based on a spot 
rather than copying the call....no that couldn't be enforced 
equitably either.

> 9.  Gremlins may have invaded your head and you are imagining things. 

If that's the case, then I should be dinged.  While that may happen, 
in my situation, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case.

So there are lots of situations where it's not so cut-and-dried.  
Yet, with a "rule" that says if you're NOL you're automatically SOL, 
in some cases the offending station is not penalized, and the 
innocent party is.

That's why I don't like it.  Plus, it happened to me.

Oh well...that's just the way it is.

If it is truly unique it probably won't be.  You win on this one, or at
least break even.

A fictional call, as in one that is not issued at all, will be a b- and
be removed with penalty.  If the call does exist but is not someone in
the contest again you probably break even and get the qso.  If they
happen to pick someone's call they just heard up the band in the
contest, and that participant doesn't work you so you are in their log,
again you lose with a nil that gets removed with penalty.

again, if this is actually the call of another participant who sends in
a log and you don't really work them, you lose with a nil and penalty.
If it's a call of someone who doesn't send in a log then you break even
and get the qso.

If the station that came back to you got your call and report, even
though you meant it for someone else and they log it, they will lose
because they are not in your log.  However if you accept their response
instead of the real station you were calling you will lose also as you
will log the exchange for a station you don't work so you are nil...  if
there is any doubt that the right station came back to you, you can try
to straighten it out by sending the call of the station you thought you
were calling before you send a report so the respondents know who it is
meant for.... or just call the station you really wanted to work again
and ignore the other guy... or work the other guy and then try to work
the one you really wanted again.... too many options here.

Simple typos (one letter off type of things) will be matched up so the
other guy doesn't lose credit when his log is checked against yours.
You could still lose credit if the call in your log ends up as bad or
nil.

Again, if he is close enough for the software to figure it out you will
get credit but he may lose.

Oh well, in this case you lose due to no fault of your own.  Not much
that can be done with this one.

I'll agree on this... always be sure you copy the other guys call,

"Oh well" is right.  As long as they administer the same rules to all
the logs hopefully it all evens out in the end.

On a slightly different vein...
Personally I don't like the way the cqww rtty logs get processed
differently than other cqww logs.  But after all it is a more demanding
mode that when done properly should result in fewer errors in the logs,
so it kind of makes sense to hold it to a higher standard.  I do believe
the zone discrepancy problem they had last year will be fixed in the
checking process this year.  And I hope they find some better way to
deal with 'uniques', there are always those 'nice guys' who get on and
work one or two of their friends and then go watch football because they
don't like contests... they should not cause their friends to be
penalized.

How do you propose the log checking computers detect this?

If the bootlegger were using the call of a station who was in the 
contest and who sent in a log, you'd get dinged.  Again, how would the 
log checkers ever detect what happened?

Like #1 and #2, the log checkers have no way to know this.

Do I need to say it again?  ;-) The log checking computer has no way to 
know this!  And, as with #1, #2, and #3,  without a tape recording, no 
one would.

This happens to EVERYONE.  That's sort of the point - blindly equal treatment

Exactly.  There is no way to know this, yet the credit is removed 
blindly.  You are guilty if you can't prove yourself innocent.

<SIGH> I really don't understand how people can be so accepting of a 
process that penalizes them, while not penalizing the offending 
party, justified by "every one is treated the same way".

It's pretty obvious I'm one of the few who is offended by this.  Like 
I said before.  Oh well.  I'm still not happy with it, but there's 
nothing I can do about it.

Interesting thing about ARRL contests is this: none of these situations is
relevant.

Not entirely sure how detailed CQ rules are on this issue, but ARRL rules
provide no allowance for anything but the correct sending, receiving and
logging of callsigns and exchange information by both sides. If one side
fails, the letter of the rules state that both sides lose the contact. Now,
to be sure, the rules are not applied that stringently (if he busts your
exchange, you keep your Q, he loses his), but it IS what they say.

So if the other guy sends his call wrong, and you therefore copy the wrong
call correctly, the log checkers have only the rules to fall back on. They
don't know if you busted the copy or he busted the sending simply because
the rules do not provide for fault.

I would encourage anyone who doubts this to read the rules, ARRL General
Rules for HF Contests.  (Sec. 3.1, I believe.) You will not find anywhere in
those rules "...except for when one station sends the wrong call."

Computerized log checking simply applies the log-checking goal that has
ALWAYS existed to all logs, not just a select few. That goal is to ensure to
the best ability possible that the order of finishes is correct.

Log checking had far more warts in the pre-computer days than today. We just
didn't hear about them.

There are several things that should be considered when, through one method
or another, you know for certain that you worked a particular station  but
the log checking process showed the QSO as a unique, busted call or not in
log:

1.  The other guy may have sent his call wrong.

2. There may be a pirate using someone else's call or a fictional call.

3.  Someone may accidentally send someone else's call instead of his.  This
is possible in some logging programs. (i.e. in CT hit F5 instead of F4)

4. The station that actually came back to you was someone other than the
station you were calling.  This happens a lot as I have confirmed by
replaying tapes of QSOs.

5.  You may have typed the other station's call wrong.

6.  The other guy may have typed your call wrong.

7. The other guy may have accidentally erased your call from his log.

8.  You may be depending on a packet spot for the other guy's call and it is
wrong on the Packet spot.

9.  Gremlins may have invaded your head and you are imagining things.

Remember E equals I times R is not just a good idea.  IT'S THE LAW!!!

I'm going to have to disagree with Mark here.  Both CT and NA are
notorious for sending the wrong QSO number by 1.  TRLog probably
shares this characteristic.  This is especially true in multi-operator
situations such as my operation at N6VR in last week's SS CW.  But
even when operating as a single operator there are numerous scenarios
where CT and NA will send the wrong QSO number.  Automatically
penalizing either the receiving station or the transmitting station
for this would contribute nothing that advances the purposes that log
checking was intended for... It might, perhaps, automatically penalize
operators that use computers for logging or automatically penalize
multioperator stations.  I really don't believe this would contribute
to the contesting art.

Apparently, you would have every single NIL count as a valid QSO.

So why do log checking at all?

Good deal, Leigh.

Uh, probably?  Perhaps it is a matter of opinion or perhaps it is
quantifiable.  I don't believe TRlog shares this characteristic.  I believe
TRlog is smarter than CT and NA and has been designed to minimize this
problem.

It would be interesting to me to know if anyone who checks their errors
against tape can say "oh yes, 19% of my errors are caused by this."  It
would then be interesting to compare this statistic to the software being
used to log.

Okay, I'll modify what Hans wished he'd said:

Contesters,

I just program 2 message keys (TR) for # and # - 1, for fills.  All you 
have to do is remember whether you are S&P (# - !) or running (#).

If there is a better way to do this, someone please tell me.

Ron,
If you set AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT = TRUE (default is false) (this is 
available in the CtrlJ menu).....
[From the manual]
If you have programmed a S&P exchange that includes a QSO number, you might 
find yourself in the following situation: You have just logged a station, who 
is now asking for your report again. If you press F2, you will send the next 
QSO number, which will be one more than the one you sent the first time. To 
fix this problem, if you set AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT to TRUE and press F2 
when both the call and exchange windows are empty, the QSO number will be 
reduced by one.

Hope this helps.

73, Don - K4BEV

I understand that one of the major contests' log-checkers are planning to 
test the "time machine" devices that were demoed at Dayton last year (I've 
lost the URL).  These gadgets record 80 kHz of any band, 6 hours at a time, 
on video tape, complete with timestamps.  Playback is through a receiver.

At least in theory, this technology would enable after-the-fact checking of 
every QSO.  I can see doing this in a situation where log checking decides 
the #1/#2 in a contest, but it seems to me that it would be way too 
time-consuming for much broader use.  I still think that treating all 
entrants the same, regardless of the details of the rules in a particular 
contest, is fundamental to a perception of fairness.  In that respect, the 
computer log-checking currently practiced by CQ and the ARRL remains the 
gold standard.

You don't even have to remember -- program the appropriate function key 
(CQF1 or S&PF1, for example), and the program will send the right one, 
depending on the mode it's in.

Hmmm...  I wouldn't be too quick to include TRLog with the other two 
logging programs. I have only operated multi-2 once and single op the rest 
of the time with TRLog but my UBN reports have NEVER shown a busted serial 
number by + or - 1 from the other station.

At any rate, if your station is spewing out erroneous serial numbers 
someone should be penalized; perhaps the software author? :-)

Yep.

AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT = TRUE

It's a beautiful thing.  Completely eliminates the problem of sending a
QSO number that's "off by one", and doesn't require the operator to think
about which button to push or, Heaven forbid, have to send something
manually.

As far as I know, Tree didn't patent this brilliant feature, so I wish the
other software writers would consider adopting a similar approach.

Quacks
I use NA and the only time that I've had a problem with the SN sent is when I 
hit the enter key before I have confirmed that proper SN has been recieved.  
when this happens it is necessary to make sure that the QSO under the cursor is 
the correct one, then NA sends the correct QSO SN.  I try and most of the time 
make sure that the correct SN has been sent.

I do operate 99.999% of the time with only 1 tx and Rx.  I suspect that some 
ops don't know how to use the software they have.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Log Checking - you guys are right
Message-ID: <3DD3745D.9649.452B21@localhost>

Based on all the traffic on the reflector and the private email I've 
been getting from many different folks, I have been convinced.  

Yes, I am missing the big picture, and the only way any of us should 
put any faith in the contest results is by having the logs checked as 
fully as possible.

If you're NIL, you should lose the QSO without exception.  It doesn't 
matter if you have audio tape or QSLs or notarized affadavits from 
the other station - the workload for the log checkers would be much 
too heavy to investigate the bad Qs.  If it was really a good QSO 
you're getting dinged for, well tough.

I think it should be taken farther though...if we're in for penny we 
should be in for a pound (isn't that the old saying?).  I'm saying 
don't do it halfway.  If you have any unique callsigns in your log at 
all, they should be removed unless the station with whom you are 
claiming credit sends in a log to corroborate the QSO.  After all, 
that's what precipitated this whole discussion.

We have software developed by the log checkers that can pretty much 
reconstruct a log for a station that does not send one in (for 
contests with meaningful exchanges of information - particularly a 
serial number)...with enough accuracy to prove whether or not a 
claimed QSO with the non-entering station is valid.  

Otherwise, I would suggest that if the other station does not send in 
a log, the credit should not be allowed for the QSO, because it is 
impossible to verify that such a QSO actually took place.  I think 
this should be implemented anyway for contests with no meaningful 
exchange, such as CQWW.

These changes are easy to do within the log-checking framework we 
have now.  It's actually somewhat easier, in that there would be no 
human intervention required to determine if Us should be converted to 
Bs.  The only thing to add would be a small routine to delete all 
calls for which there was no log submitted.  That should be pretty 
easy.

To do less is to lessen the integrity of the results.  Each and every 
QSO must be verified in some way or it should not count.  Anything 
less is indefensible.  

I have seen the light.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] A Higher Level of Unique
Message-ID: <00ba01c28bfa$9132b6e0$27d7fea9@mirage>

All the discussion about log checking and what transgressions shalt be dinged 
has omitted one aspect of the sport which I maintain is unique and should 
strongly color its adjudication.  Radio contesting consists of cooperative 
interactions between the participants.  It is not all of us shooting at 
individual targets or knocking each other down (well, mostly) or running ahead 
of everyone else.  The winners are the ones that have the most successful 
two-way exchanges of information with other participants.

Because of the two-way requirement, judging must be based on the satisfaction 
of that requirement by BOTH parties.  While you may bemoan the occasional 
incompetence of the other participant, that does not affect the requirement to 
complete and record a valid interaction.  In fact, this goes back to the 
original intent of contests as ways of enhancing communications skills of all 
involved.  

All of the scenarios put forth over the past couple of days, even though blame 
may not lie with the party which is ultimately penalized, are examples of a 
failure to complete the valid two-way exchange of information.

This does add an element of strategy in that I need to judge whether I am 
likely to have a valid exchange with someone that calls.  We have all told a 
very weak caller, "Later", when it becomes clear that we are unlikely to be 
able to copy their information.  If someone calls in using their new 
Vibro-Bugamatic and can't send the letter "E" correctly twice in a row, then I 
will probably not log or their QSO or log it with zero points.  The balance 
must be struck between risk of penalty and the desire for additional points - 
that's why we don't just blow off everyone that isn't Q5.

It is to the credit of the log checkers that ONLY in cases where it is clearly 
demonstrable that the QSO was invalid with a high degree of probability is 
credit removed for the QSO.  It is completely true that the penalty is not 
always assessed in strict compliance with the proportion of blame - just like 
in real life. (one of which we should all attempt to get)  It is also 
completely true that these methods are applied equally to all competitive 
entries and that the results are neither secret nor unchallengeable.  If a 
better methodology can be demonstrated that can be acheived with the limited 
resources available, then I think it would be considered.  Until then, the 
present methods are, as has been pointed out, the gold standard.

This reminds me of a great George Carlin-ism - "Isn't it amazing that everyone 
that drives faster than you is an idiot and everyone that drives slower is a 
moron?"

In the ongoing discussion about sending the serial number off by one and
getting in trouble, several other guys have done a good job of showing how
powerful and flexible TRlog is.  You have your choice of 3:

1. AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT = TRUE

2. #-1

3. Use the paddles wired through your serial port which send code with the
exact speed and weight of the program.  Standard equipment.  One of the nice
things about this, you old timers will remember you could stop your
electronic memory keyer by touching the paddle.  TR works this way.

But no matter what you use to make code, are we questioning whether it is or
is not the sender's responsibility to send the right #$%^ number, for
goodness sake?

I hope we are not questioning this.

I don't think this is a fair characterization at all.  I will not speak for 
CT or TR, but with NA there is a clear, definite logic as to the serial 
number sent:

THE SERIAL NUMBER SENT IS ALWAYS THE NUMBER OF THE QSO THE CURSOR IS ON

The problem comes when you've logged the QSO, and the station at the other 
end wants a repeat.  The correct way to do this is to MOVE BACK TO THAT QSO 
AND PRESS THE KEY TO SEND THE EXCHANGE.  However, some users don't do that 
- they just press the key (on the blank QSO line, since they just logged 
the QSO they are repeating) and hence send one higher than the number they 
should.

The answer to this, some will say, is that if the line is blank the 
previous number should be sent.  This will correct the described condition, 
but creates another.

Suppose you QRZ, and somebody dumps the call back fast and you can't get it 
entered; you send the call on the paddle then press the key to send the 
exchange.  To use another example from WPX or most any contest other than 
SS with serial numbers: you dump your call in a pileup, but you don't know 
the other station's call yet; he sends the exchange, you hit the key to 
reply with your exchange; on his QRZ you get his call and log the QSO.

Many years ago NA used to "send the previous number on a blank line", but 
we found it to be a problem.  The "always send the number the cursor is on" 
is certain, and experience has proven it to be less troublesome.  Other, 
"fuzzy logic" algorithms which guess at which the operator intends creates 
uncertainty and, I would argue, more errors.

My reason for using the bandwidth for this explanation is to make the point 
that NA (or CT or TR) are not *notorious* for sending wrong numbers.  As 
long as a certain set of keystrokes produces the correct result, the fault 
is operator error.  One can argue that a particular set of keystrokes might 
not be "user friendly", but that is a different discussion.

It's certainly not hard to come up with situations where someone is
wrongfully penalized a QSO or two and maybe even a mult.  I suppose if
someone disliked me badly enough they could open "w9wi@hotmail.com", do a
search-and-replace on his previous year's Cabrillo file to change his
callsign to mine, send it to "sscw@arrl.org", and get me DQ'd.  Maybe N1ND
needs to start requiring one to submit one's membership control number with
one's entry so that they know it's really W9WI submitting that log?

(No, I'm *not* serious!)

The only way to be absolutely certain you never wrongly delete a QSO is to
never delete a QSO.  At which point the scores even less reflect the actual
efforts.

There isn't $100,000 riding on the results of Phone SS.  Log checking isn't
perfect.  It's awfully good, and it's a whole lot better than it was a few
years ago.

And I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with Leigh.  In this situation, the
transmitting operator should be penalized.  (yes, I realize it's the
*receiving* op who *will* be penalized)  

You're responsible for the operation of your station.  If your rig doesn't
refuse to transmit on 14.355, it's not Yaesu the FCC is going to cite.  You
know, or should know, what serial number your software is sending.  If that
number is wrong, then it's your responsibility to interrupt the computer and
send the *right* number.  

(I don't recall having to interrupt TR at any point during CW SS, except
when I typed the other guy's call wrong!)

and I always enjoyed George Carlin's reason for not getting to mass on
Sunday: "and the chaplain goes into a coma and you're on a ship at
sea... But then, you cross the International Date Line!"

I usually just lurk here but this discussion is getting to be a bit
much.  All of these scenarios are statistically in the noise.  If
everyone is treated the same, as Mike said, the system "gets" everyone
equally.

It reminds me of an anecdote I heard recently, where a guy's parents had
just retired.  His dad was an accountant and just a bit, shall we say,
"meticulous" (read: anal), his mom was the artistic type (read:
disorganised and/or sloppy).  When his dad retired, he started looking
at the family checkbook, which mom had been keeping for years, and was
shocked to find that she never entered the cents, only the dollar
amounts.  After spending the better part of a month straightening out
the register, the total error was around 15 cents.  I suppose there
could be several morals to this story, but the obvious one is that some
things are not worth the effort.  It's only if results are REALLY close
where it's going to matter.

Of course not - the problem is detecting of when the sender screwed up.

If it's true that log checking really allows +/- 1 in the serial number 
(though I think +1 is enough) it is obviously in an effort to placate 
those who would complain (and rightfully so) that they "copied what was 
sent", yet were dinged because the sender screwed up.

This is another example of the log checking going out of its way to try 
to avoid penalizing the wrong party.  The fact that it also allows 
sloppy receiving to sneak through as well is unfortunate collateral 
damage.

Being a software developer myself I can easily understand how Dave
feels and thinks right now.  He's convinced that there's no way his
software can make this mistake.  And if I'd tested the NA software
before a contest and used it only in the most cosmetic of
circumstances I'd be in total agreement with Dave right now.  But I've
now used NA and CT in multioperator and single operator circumstances
over a decade and I'll still stand by my statement.  At W6EEN I've
done multioperator phone contests where a QSO number was send
"manually" by vocal chords with the two operators on the two bands
were touching elbows and there were still unrecoverable errors in
sending the proper numbers that could not be written off as operator
errors.

Dave, you should have been at W6EEN when we fired up NA 10.x for the
phone SS two years ago for 9 QSOs before we discovered that QSOs
logged on one of the two computers were being completely forgotten,
leaving only the QSOs from the other rig in the log.  We had to take a
half hour break in the first hour of the phone SS to load older
versions of NA to fix that.  4-5 guys are not in our log, even though
we clearly contacted them.

I've never been at a multioperator (networked) contest where there
weren't about 50 reboots of the computers.

Here's a scenario:

Rig #1 transmits CQSS W6UE (off) (Rig #2 finds K8CC CQing)
Rig #2 transmits K8CC de W6UE (off) (Rig #1 listens, hears K0RF
calling him)
Rig #1 transmits K0RF nr1MW6UE22LAX (off) (Rig #2 listens, hears "W6UE
nr1MK8CC64MI")
Rig #2 transmits K8CC nr1MW6UE22LAX (insert key!) (Rig #1 hears "W6UE
nr4MK0RF62CO")
Both rigs log exchanges and press enter.  One of the two QSO's goes
into the QSO#2 slot.

In multioperator situations it's impossible for the operators to know
which one of them has to send QSO #2 and which one of them has to send
QSO #1.  They only know that the octopus lets them transmit.  Without
the QSO# +/- 1 log checking rule one of the two first contacts will be
deducted from someone's log, and it wouldn't be W6UE's loss.

I hear a lot of guys with experience in antiseptic operating
environments talking about this issue as if it weren't their problem.
The trouble is that the receiving station is in danger of loosing a
contact whenever the transmitting station sends the wrong info.  I'm
sure that log checkers like Tree came up with the "QSO number +/- 1"
rule after the hard experience of putting their own logs through
automated log checking only to learn that a high percentage of
stations send the wrong contact number.

The "QSO number +/- 1" version of log checking rules was under attack,
and I'm willing to defend the practice.  That, after all, is what I'm
writing about.  I'm not attacking the software vendors.

Dave,
Glad you answered this. I have used all three and all ya gotta do is hit 
the enter
,plus, whatever AFTER the number has been confirmed. Failing that, you 
should be able to
send it by hand or keyboard.

The NRA says, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people."

Contest programmers say,  "Contesting software doesn't send the wrong
number, operators send the wrong number."

You need to know how your software works, but you can't make the other guy
know how his software works. I think one offs on numbers shouldn't bust the
QSO for that reason.

If I understand all of the nuances of loosing points due to
the other guy, if I don't send in my log, I can never hurt
the score of anyone else.

If I've been casually contesting, worked a few hundred,
not being careful with accurate logging, just giving out
QSOs, maybe even with repeated or skipped QSO numbers,
maybe not logging all QSOs, isn't it in all serious 
contestors best interest for me to keep my sloppy log
and not to submit it for log checking?

Message-ID: <20021115000705.80634.qmail@web40709.mail.yahoo.com>

Got my new QST the other day, and see that they have
removed contest rules and placed them on the internet
instead.  Guess I also saw this in the November issue,
but it really stood out in the most recent one.  In
the contest rules place, they have put "contest
announcements".  These contest announcements basically
describe the gist of the contest, and in my opinion,
they look like they are written for an 8 year old. 
They have little cutsy "Why you should enter this
contest" and "Quirks" sections.  I hope that things
haven't degraded so far that we have to use this type
of language to explain things to hams.  Just put the
rules back in and get away from the touchy feely
stuff.

They figure we are smart enough to go to the web to
read contest announcements, but not smart enough to
figure out why I should enter a contest.  Have you
ever noticed that every time QST takes something out
(contest scores, rules, section news) it usually gets
replaced with something that looks like it was written
for complete idiots.  Witness the "Doctor is in"
column.  I hope these are not real questions sent in
by readers.  If most of them are, the FCC definitely
need to think about toughening the licensing
requirements.

What's wrong with the CW operator sending CW now & then to manually correct
repeats?  That way, the number sequence is never impacted.  After all, we
are not robots.....or, are we?

Actually, that's not quite right.  In fact, not sending in a log is
one of the ways that
you can hurt the scores of those that you contact.  This is especially
true if you only
made a dozen or so contacts.  Perhaps the last thing you'd want to do
in today's
log checking environment is to come on the air from a rare multiplier
and work only
one or two of your buddies, then fail to send in a log.  Your buddies
will log you,
and when they hear an immense pile up on a guy operating from your
rare multiplier
they will happily tune away knowing they've already worked it.  Then
the log
checkers disallow your contact because it is a "unique" and your
friends lose out
big.

Now I'm really confused.  I thought the gist of this thread was

Greetings.


The Northern California Contest Club again sponsors its popular mini-Phone SS 
pre-contest event on Friday night at 2100 PST (0500Z Saturday).

SS Contesters from throughout the 80 ARRL Sections are welcome to participate 
on 
frequencies in the vicinity of 3850 on 75 meters and 7240 on 40 meters for 
20-minutes following the 2100 PST start.

Consider using the NCCC mini-SS to carry out last minute equipment, software 
and 
antenna checks, or to simply renew your possibly cob-webbed familiarity with 
the 
contest exchange.

All are welcome to join NCCC members on 3830 at 2120 to report scores and 
discuss contest matters.

We look forward to seeing you.

73,  Bill N6ZFO VP/Contest Chair and Ken, N6RO

Hi,
I am contest manager for the Finnish Radio Relay
League, SRAL, and I am following this ARRL approach
of trying to lure newcomers to contesting.

I will likely try something similar, time will tell.

But truth is we need more contesters.

I would like to have more stations making close to
mid-range scores, not trying to let things fall
like they seem.

More and more people are on for just an hour or less
and that is not really satisfactory for contests.

How to improve that, I do not know.


One fact I have found is the contesters participating
actively are not the target group for these attempts
of trying to lure newcomers.
I believe already contesting individuals will accept
this point in some time.
A change is in process and changes are seldom easy.

The change in the magazine and overall information
sharing structure has to be done somehow to get the
main goal achieved.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Changes in QST
Message-ID: <004801c28cac$b097d800$0100a8c0@joe>

Hi all,

My feeling is that the changes in QST are not designed to cater to us.

Is that a bad thing? I do not believe it is, for several reasons. How many
of us after 20 years of SS or more still need to look at the same set of
rules? Moreover, how many of us on this reflector, having proven ourselves
duly capable of Internet navigation, can't go to the ARRL site for a
refresher should we need one?

Has QST dumbed down? I'd hardly consider a treatise on PIC programming
"dumbing down." Is QST attempting to bring new contesters into SS, DX, etc?
I sure as hell hope so.

Will the status quo of running just the rules do that? Not in a million
sunspot cycles. WE get the information we need from the running of rules,
but potential newbies skip right past. I think things like "Why you should
operate this contest?" are great. Bravo.

It's the same with the post-contest writeups. Page after page of grey will
not help sell contesting. Well-written contest reports with humour and
anecdotes play much better into the hands of people who could take or leave
contest reports. Those are the people QST needs to reach.

We can find what we need ourselves easily enough that we don't need QST to
hand it to us on a silver platter. That we can access that information via
an excellent Web-based database (thanks to N5KO and others) means we can get
more information than we could ever have dreamed possible in QST.

The way QST used to print results and announcements served us and largely us
alone. Well, we're coming back year after year anyway. We don't need a sales
job. We do, however, need to bring more people into contesting. I not only
accept the changes in QST, I celebrate them. Others should too.

QST is not, in my view, turning its back on contesters. QST is, however,
asking us to put our egos aside for the greater good. Are we big enough for
that?

Probably one of the reasons people are so "het up" over the issue of UBN's is 
the penalties assessed.
If the fault in creating a busted call in your log is the other guy's, why 
should you be penalized 3 QSOs?
Wouldn't it be fairer in the case of busted calls to simply delete the credit 
for the busted from your log?

Also, since the QSO was NOT a two way exchange, shouldn't it be deleted from 
the other station's log, too?

In the case of a "not in log" situation, however, the penalty should stay at 
three QSO's removed since this 
could conceivably be a case of claiming the QSO in hopes that the other station 
doesn't send in his log and
it will not be counted against the station claiming the QSO? 

If you really wanted to get nasty, if the claimed NIL QSO was a multiplier, 
penalized the offense by removing three multipliers!

I strongly agree with the people who have said that contesting is about making 
valid two way QSOs. 
If it is not two way it is not a QSO on the part of either station. 
The most important part of the exchange is the callsigns of both the stations.

In SS the exchange is equally important.  How about the ultimate in nastiness 
and assessing a penalty for each miscopied element of the exchange: 
3 QSOs for the callsign wrong and 1 QSO for each error in number, precedence, 
check or section?

BTW since I am in zone 4 but CT always shows me as being in zone 3 should I be 
penalized each time the other station has me as zone 3 in his log?
He should be, since I always send the 04 and if he doesn't catch it that is his 
fault.

I wonder if our esteemed log checkers could see how many times the wrong zone 
is shown in DX logs for some recent contests.

I disagree.  If you have contest programs that do not perform properly
either because of them, or poor operator use, your contact should not count
(for receive or transmit).

It is the responsibility of ALL to get it all right (including the
checkers).  Sloppy stuff and operation should not be accepted.  I have seen
a lot of ops just keep going even when they know contact info is wrong.
This should not be accepted when detected.

It takes time and effort to get proper contacts.  Those who take that time
and effort to get it right should not be allowed to be beaten by those that
don't. 

I agree with Mark, N5OT.

Sorry.

It's so.

Don't blame W3FRC (the contest's Special Event Bonus Station from the
Franklin Radio Club).

This is a choice made by the Pa QSO Party Committee, aka the Nittany ARC
Board of Directors.   Take it up with them.  Please.  I got about 2 dozen
emails from DX and West Coast hams complaining of this after the contest
(why me?  Because I posted the info about the contest here as a favor to
this year's PaQP chairman, so those kvetching assumed I am on the PaQP
Committee, which I AM NOT.  But, as they say, no good deed goes
unpunished...)

FWIW, there are a lot of us participants in the contest who hope that this
will change, and soon.  I was hoping to find a way to help them
electronically process logs, but those I contacted told me that for very
good reasons they declined the opportunity.

Pa QSO Party logs must be postmarked TODAY (11/15).  If you can't make the
deadline, go to the Nittany ARC web site, get the email address of the
chairman (I don't have it handy right now) and ask him for an extension.
Sorry, that's the best I can do for you.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Serial numbers off by one in SS
Message-ID: <20021115213326.GC31949@kkn.net>

I guess I haven't made this statement before (since it doesn't seem to be
general knowledge):

In the SS (and sprints) - if a received QSO number is off by one - it is 
not dinged as being wrong.  This practice was started in the CW Sprints
when I wrote the log checking software for it and was inherited by the SS
programs that were written afterwards.

There were just too many times where the error was caused by the sending 
station.  Since we haven't yet entered the age where a busted QSO is
removed from both logs - it didn't seem fair to put the full burden 
of off by ones on the receiving station.  Pretty hard to believe someone
copied "200" instead of "199".

There have been times when it was obvious that the sending station was
out of sync by more than one QSO for an extended length of time.  When
I see this - I remove the QSOs from the SENDING station - not from the
receiving stations.  This doesn't happen very often, but it is fun for
me when it does (other than being a pain to deal with as an exception).

I probably didn't announce this before, as I didn't want to soften the
image us log checkers enjoy as being hard bottomed, inflexible, robots who
haven't done any thinking about the ramifications of our decisions or
methods.

And, in case is still isn't clear, uniques are not removed in the SS 
unless they are identified as a busted call.  If anyone gets confused
on this point again, I will ask them to write it 100 times on the 
chalkboard.

Is it being said here that in the case where a station receives an exchange,
logs it as actually sent, that it be recommended he NOT get credit for the
QSO because the TRANSMITTING station screwed something up?

This is exactly the situation that the log checkers try to avoid.

As far as any weaking of the process, let's not forget that log checking has
done anything BUT weaken the process.  I don't think there's a contester out
there who hasn't rethought the value of asking for repeats.

(This whole +/-1 rule is overblown here.  Note that in most cases of missing
a digit by one, the +/- 1 rule will not help.  Busting 753 to 853 will still
get you dinged.  If someone is cavalier about what he logs, he will get
nailed.)

These attempts at making everything black-and-white are unrealistic.  Log
checking cannot be all-knowing.  It must not be too harsh or cause
unnecessary collateral damage or risk scaring away casual operating, nor can
it afford to be too weak and then judged ineffective.  It cannot "know" what
was really sent, how much power an operator was using, or if plenty of other
mischief occurred.  Log checking is a compromise.

The fact that it was even considered to allow +/-1 is a testament to the
understanding these log checking guys have about the whole thing.  I'll bet
not one in twenty guys on this reflector ever thought of this scenario
(until now).  And suddenly we are now all experts! ;-)

Henry,

I have eight W9XT cards here.  Tying the mic and PTT grounds together will 
not hurt anything, but may cause hum on the transmitted signal.  This is 
usually a radio issue (ICOMs are particularly sensitive to this), but if 
the Omni has a common ground, then it should be OK.

One of the alleged virtues of Amateur Radio is that we are
self-policing.  I have an actual, living, breathing moral
dilemma to pose to contesters in the run-up to the CQ WW CW
contest.

I'm sure we are all pleased to know that there will be a
multi-op on contest-rare Sable Island during the CQ WW CW
this coming weekend.  You can learn more about CY0MM by
visiting their web site, www.dipole.com .

However, you may not be aware of one aspect of this
expedition.  You can find out more at
http://www.sugardelta.com/277sd0/index.html .

My inclination is to consider this combination injurious to
the reputation of this hobby with the radio regulatory
authorities in Canada, who licensed CY0MM.

Where, if anywhere, does self-policing fit in this
situation?  If this is an appropriate circumstance for
self-policing, what form should it take?

Mike, that's old and incorrect information.  It WAS true for the 2001
contest, but NOT the 2002!

They are no longer accepting anything but paper logs -- not even a disk, and
yes, I know it's a step backwards!

Also, the address is now the Nittany ARC's main Post Office box, not the
chairman's home address (it's also a different chairman this year.  Again.)

Thank you, Kelly.  Guys and gals...please consider which is more likely to 
cause a casual or non-contester to get on and operate...

This year - "Special Interest: Operators will travel to many interesting DX 
locations..."

or 

Last year's - "6.6.4. DXpedition scores may be included in the Medium and 
Unlimited club totals only."

We need to stop breathing our own exhaust and start selling others on what a 
whale of a lot of fun they can be having doing some contesting.  As I posted 
last week - the biggest challenge we have is reaching out to other hams.  This 
is one example of how to do it - by removing dry rules-and-regulations and 
replacing it with a little sizzle.  If you have better ideas for the sizzle, 
then by all means, let's have 'em!!

I don't know the Canadian rules relative to 11M, but I'm sure Riley would have
some interest if this dual-service dxpedition took place on US territory.

Hey, did you notice these guys have their own DXCC and Cluster.....

One would think if they don't want to process them electronically, they
could just print out the received files?  

I suppose in their defense, you never know what kind of files you're going
to get...  In the TN QSO Party, we ask for "any ASCII text format, Cabrillo
prefered".  Among the 53 e-mailed entries I got three Microsoft Word files,
an Excel spreadsheet, and a NA .QDF file.  

Still...  We only got eight paper logs.  If we had to process the other 53
manually, checking wouldn't be nearly as good as it is.

European Sprint Contest - Autumn SSB -  October 5, 2002
-------------------------------------------------------

The thirty-third EU Sprint has a new winner: Andy, UA2FB, operating
as RW2F who beat Roli, LY2FY, and Ton, ES5TV. Note that both LY2FY
and ES5TV were entering their first ever Eu Sprints! All the top
scorers did a great job on 20m, but 80m was noisy and conditions on
40m were fair.

Participation increased a little due to heavy publicity and the
QSO average per entrant is higher, too. The quality of entries is
increasing: we found relatively few errors. These entrants had
"Golden Logs" with no mistakes at all: EA3FHP, G0MRH, I2CZQ,
IN3FHE, OK1DSA, OM1AW, ON6LY, UT5UGR, and some others
only made one or two errors: congratulations!

Starting on November 1, 2002 the Eu Sprint finally has its own
web page at this address: <www.qsl.net/eusprint>. Here you will find
everything about the Eu Sprint: rules in several languages, results,
prizes and software to download. Please visit the page and help us to
keep it up. We want your articles about the Eu Sprint, share with us
your tactics and secrets!

The UBN will be public and available for everyone on our web page,
just click on a callsign to see the UBN report. If you have any
questions pertaining to the log checking procedure, please don't
hesitate to ask.

Thanks for your entry, 73!

Dave,

You bring up an interesting dilemna.

First, yes, while amateurs are for the most part self-policing (can't wait
for my next Popkin-gram, I know a young stamp collector who loves his
envelopes), the alleged freeband activity is taking place outside of
allocated amateur frequencies.  So I'm not sure if we should be doing
anything about the actual FB operation itself, so long as it does not use
amateur call signs (and from what I saw on that web site, I don't think it
will).  And this is by no means meant to condone illegal operation!  But if
it's outside the ham bands, it's (to my thinking) outside of our
"jurisdiction."

Second, having said this, I am saddened that one or more of the amateurs is
involved in this type of operation.  And that the other operators are
condoning it (have to be since the equipment listed for the "sugar delta" op
is some of the same amateur gear for the CY0MM DXpedition).

Third, should the actual "sugar delta" part of the operation take place, the
operators will have (in my mind) placed themselves in a poor light with
Industry Canada, and by extension cast the same poor light on the rest of
us.  So we should make our displeasure with this part of the operation known
to the CY0MM folks to discourage future actions of this type -- but NOT on
the air.

Fourth, if this should jeopardize the CY0MM license, it may also jeopardize
the DXCC acceptance of that operation.  Another reason to make our
displeasure known.

Finally... if you hear them during the contest, work 'em.  If they get DQ'd
by the CQ WW committee over this, it will happen after the fact.  That will
be their problem, not ours.

73, ron wn3vaw

One of the alleged virtues of Amateur Radio is that we are
self-policing.  I have an actual, living, breathing moral
dilemma to pose to contesters in the run-up to the CQ WW CW
contest.

I'm sure we are all pleased to know that there will be a
multi-op on contest-rare Sable Island during the CQ WW CW
this coming weekend.  You can learn more about CY0MM by
visiting their web site, www.dipole.com .

However, you may not be aware of one aspect of this

http://www.sugardelta.com/277sd0/index.html .

My inclination is to consider this combination injurious to
the reputation of this hobby with the radio regulatory
authorities in Canada, who licensed CY0MM.

Where, if anywhere, does self-policing fit in this
situation?  If this is an appropriate circumstance for
self-policing, what form should it take?

Hi Art,

It is my opinion that arranging specific schedules such as, "I'll meet you
on 14.005 at 1300Z on the first day" are against the rules if done outside
of the contest.  Of course, setting schedules DURING the contest is fine as
long as they are done over the air (no internet/telephone).

I don't, however, feel that saying something like, "I'll look for you on 20M
in the contest" is against the spirit of the rules, either on the air or via
the internet.

See you next weekend Art :))

Everyone has a story of their one or two uniques that they work every 
year.  Here are the ones I have so far in my SS CW log from W5WMU:

CALLSIGN CHECK RESULTS
----------------------
NG5X is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.
Calls with same check/section: KC5R

W5WU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 3.
Calls with same check/section: W5WZ

This is pretty good - since I don't appear to have any busted
calls (no, W5WZ is a different station than W5WU).

A few years ago, some of the locals got a little carried away, and I had
about a dozen unique QSOs - all from Louisiana.  I have since discouraged
this activity and asked that if they do work me, to also work some
other stations in the contest.

Here is another datapoint (from a top ten high power log):

CALLSIGN CHECK RESULTS
----------------------
K5MR is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.

K2AY is a busted call.  The correct call is K2UY.

NZ5DX is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.

K5NU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.
Calls with same check/section: W5AK W5VX W5UX KG5U

WB2UVV is a busted call.  The correct call is WB2VVV.

Here, it would appear that three "friends" got on to work this guy.
Note that WB2UYV was a unique until it got matched up to WB2VVV.

Then, if we look at a log with poor accuracy:

CALLSIGN CHECK RESULTS
----------------------
K4LA is a busted call.  The correct call is K4LTA.

W7ZKO is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 90.

VE3GX is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 238.
Calls with same check/section: VE3XB

W4SEX is a busted call.  The correct call is W4IDX.

N1SX is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 81.
Calls with same check/section: KA1O

N0AU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 358.
Calls with same check/section: W0EJ

KA4K is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 338.
Calls with same check/section: K0EJ KT5D

K0RW is a busted call.  The correct call is K9NW.

K4KG is a busted call.  The correct call is K5KG.

W9IVF is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 256.
Calls with same check/section: K8JQ

K1STV is a busted call.  The correct call is K1HTV.

NI9U is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 348.
Calls with same check/section: W9FL

VE3XX is a busted call.  The correct call is VE3XB.

N6BO is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 370.
Calls with same check/section: K7SV K4TX

N9RU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 654.
Calls with same check/section: W9SZ W9YK N9LV W9OL

KA8E is a busted call.  The correct call is KU8E.

KB4D is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 698.
Calls with same check/section: K3MM W3PO N3OC

N6YA is a busted call.  The correct call is N5YA.

KO0D is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1012.
Calls with same check/section: N8NX K8UT

W4ECR is a busted call.  The correct call is WB4ECR.

N4AM is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 769.
Calls with same check/section: KY5R K4XR

W1PJ is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 269.
Calls with same check/section: K1SM NB1B NK1L

How many of these unique callsigns are really unique?  I would guess
about zero of them.  However, since the exchanges also got mangled
enough, it is not possible for the software to match up the bad
callsigns to the correct ones.  Therefore, unless I go spend a lot
of time manually working on these, the unique QSOs will all count.

So - in my opinion, the price to be paid to count those 2 or
three real uniques in everyone's logs, is that people with poor
accuracy get to count a lot of their QSOs that should be busted.

If one of these guys ends up slightly ahead of you, were you really
better off being able to count that QSO with your Section Manager?

How about is someone has 30 friends get on and all work someone and
nobody else?  Is that really what we are trying to encourage in the 
contest?

In summary, it is very obvious to guys like me who look at all
of this data that the contest would be better off if we just 
tossed uniques in the SS (at least CW).  There just aren't that
many of them - and the results will be more fair.

Maybe someday, public opinion will agree.

Tony:

You asked:

> Can someone explain to me what this SD stuff is?

As near I can figure, these are assumed call signs used by
unlicensed illegal "freeband" operators (those who operate
between the top of the 27MHz CB band and the bottom of 10
metres.

The first digits are a country number.  They use the ARRL
DXCC list, numbering the countries as they appear on that
list.  277 is Sable Island.

The "SD" (there are many other two-letter combinations)
refers to a particular club.  I don't know what, if anything
"SD" stands for.

The final digits are a serial number "identifying" the
individual operator or station.

This 277SD0 is a Sable Island operation by a member of the
"SD" club, and that operation is number "0."

This is just what I infer from my research since this matter
came to my attention yesterday.  I've never been involved in
this "freeband" stuff, or even CB radio, so I may be out of
my depth here.

Even in ASCII land, there are also 3 ASCII line ending conventions:

<cr><lf> - PC
<cr> - Mac
<lf> - Unix/Linux

...and what convention is acceptable is never specified, though 
anything other than the first seems to confuse folks.

Too bad it looks like it may take another 10 years just to cut over 
to Cabrillo, so an XML format that would let the ham community

development/reporting/publishing/syndication tools for that is out of

First: the question.

We had a contact end up as a bad contact.  We know it now, as we worked
the guy AGAIN later on....  Do we trash the "bad" contact (the first Q
with the satation)?  If so, how will this affect log checking?

Now the observations:

I was very impressed with the number of new contesters on the air, and
especially of people having youngsters on the air!  I was even moreso
impressed with the situation that arose when one of our ops wanted to
make the contact with one youngster that was getting clobbered in QRM.
Our op simply said "stations please stand by, im trying to make the
contact with the poor little girl who's getting clobbered in the
pileup"...  The frequency went dead with the exception of our op and the
YL.  We made the contact....  This impressed me, and, after I get some
sleep, I will probably STILL be impressed with this.  

Granted, EEE only had a measly 113000 points and 700 contacts...  We are
happy.

Work dupes, leave them in the log!!!  With the advanced log checking in
existance today, there is really no need for anything else.  No logging
software I know of claims points for dupes anyway.

Oh for the day all participants realize this.....

    This last Phone November SS I worked many place s on 80M. Actually it
was so packed on the 80M band south of 3.850 that it was had to find a home.
One place I stumbled across was 3.793. When I started calling CQ there was
the band police. "DX Window". This station though was not identifing so I
just ignored the crazy man. Though I went onto the web and found that this
small  piece of space from 3.790-3.800 is a DX window. though I myself would
never hear dx there in that small space and being on 20M I could not believe
that that is the only place dx shold be. In my search for the Truth to this
matter. I look at my Operator manual and yes I see this so called "Dx
Winodw" but then I peer up at the top of the page to read on about
The"Considerate operator's Frequency Guide". These few paragraphs go on to
say, "Nothing in the rules recognizes net's groups, or any individuals's
special priviledge to any specific frequency." "No frequect will be assigned
for exclusive use of any station." and finally, "Check to make certain the
frequency is not in use."
    So, I look on to the next page the US Amatuer Bands Bandchat where I see
US Extra hams are allowed phone from 3.750 to 4.000. This covers this small
space. So in conclusion I asked if it was in use  and there was no reply. So
called CQ. I was using it and there was no DX there before me. So, Just
because that maybe it is the "DX Window" we shold all know frst to be there
has the frequency untill it is relenquished.

Folks

I think that this has a great example of self-policing by the Amateur
community. This new technology makes it difficult to stay below the
collective radar! Just Search "Sable Is." on the browser and there were the
two expeditions side by side! The parties were contacted, the illegal
operation has been averted and this Huge Embarrassement has been saved from
being a Huge DXAC, CQWW and Licensing Disaster. I want to thank all the
others that took part in e-mailing and otherwise alerting the boys on Sable
to their dangerous situation.

Self-policing can work!

Indeed ... and the proliferation of multis was where a lot of the new folks 
were apparently.  It was great to work folks with 01 and 02 checks, too.

Let me diverge to an entirely different subject.  I am not a phone 
contester, but get on in SSB SS to make points for my club.  This year, I 
had disposed of my Rigblaster, and had no effective way of coupling 
hum-free audio from my sound card to my 2-radio box, so I was obliged to 
say everything myself.

After an hour or so, I would find myself totally running out of voice -- 
throat getting sore, hoarseness setting in, etc.

Other than recorded audio, are there any special techniques that phone 
contesters use to avoid vocal fatigue?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

IMHO SS is not broken,  The main difference has nothing to do with 10 meters, 
at least not in the east.  I made over 2100 qsos this past weekend and only 
15 of them were on 10 meters.

As I stated before, it has everything to do with the new operators we are 
getting.  As has been posted previously, the large majority of the checks in 
the SS CW were from the 80s and earlier.  In going over the checks I received 
in the SS SSB this weekend, that's not the case.  Lots of 00s, 02s and so 
forth.  If I get a chance to break them down, I will.  

Nevertheless, I still subscribe to the idea, that since the FCC no longer 
requires a high code speed to get on the HF bands, CW is dying...and so are 
the DOMESTIC CW contests.  I am not knocking CW, but the handwriting is on 
the wall.  We can put our heads in the sand and pretend we don't see it, but 
it's there.

SS is not broken.  The manner in which the FCC grants licenses has diminished 
the pool of good CW ops for the SS CW.  It has not affected the SS SSB.

I ran into this in a NAQP a few years back.  (I suppose some list readers
remember the incident...)  I'm surprised Sean was only assaulted by one
operator - there were a whole lot more back whenever that was...

Was playing around on 15m late Sunday morning when I found a hole on 21349.8
& called a few CQs.  When someone started telling me I was out of the band. 
Disappeared promptly when reminded he was on 15, not 20<grin>.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] SS..Is it broken?
Message-ID: <3d.27c447c1.2b0a687f@aol.com>

I have done some number crunching with the log from SS SSB.  I made 2102 QSOs 
and decided to do a sample of 330 QSOs to determine the checks.  I took the 
contacts from 1-110, 1000-1009, and 1900-2009.  The breakdown follows:

1930's   2
1940's   5
1950's   52
1960's   62
1970's   91
1980's   37(hmmm)
1990's   65
2000's   16

To normalize the 2000's, consider it as 30% of a decade.  Normalize it to 53.

These figures differ quite a bit from what was posted on this reflector 
regarding the checks from the CW contest.  It seems there IS an influx of new 
blood in SS SSB.  SS SSB is alive and well.

On Saturday, 16 Nov 2002, while most of you were erecting antennas and
getting ready for The Contest, 5B4ADA/C4A antennas have been dismantled are
ready for yet another move.
I will be moving to Italy (is it a rare country, by the way?) to assume a
new post in UN Logistics Base in Brindisi in a couple of weeks.

I'm taking with me a lot of "radio stuff" and fond memories of the time
spent on the sunny island of Cyprus between January 1991 - October 2002.

Thank you again for the points in many, many contests and every Topband QSO.

Well, the data speaks for itself on CW.  There is nothing wrong with doing
this - but hopefully you will be able to encourage them to go work other
people - which will do more to convert them than just one QSO.

I realize on SSB this happens a lot more.  I will post some unique data
from the top SSB stations to see what it looks like.

Let's let the data speak.

You won't find "DX Window" defined in the FCC rules.  It's called a "Gentlemen's
Agreement" which in most of our minds has the same force and effect as Part 97.

Basically the FCC and its licensing requirements are

Myself, I think it is pro-DX, much like the DX window on 160.  Maybe some 
of the KP@/KP3 crowd could comment if they ever got as far down as 80 in 
this contest -- were you shooed out of the DX window?

Some people suggest speaking softly.  Ohters suggest certain kinds of 
beverages.  Certain people tend to have voices that last forever.  I have a 
pretty loud voice and it seems years of teaching have made it just about 
leather tough.  My favorite beverage is lemon seltzer with a squirt of lime 
juice.  Now that I am married again, the XYL takes care of the beverages for

However, I love my old Nel Tech DVK..the first DVK produced back in the 80s.

While running on 15M Saturday afternoon during SS, some goofus was playing back
a recording of one of my previous Q's when I was getting the exchange from my
current contact(s).  His signal was pretty puny so it wasn't much of a problem.
I ignored it completely and he soon tired of this cute little trick.  Anyone
else run into this?

Message-ID: <3DCF011E@imail.net1plus.com>

I would give it a vote for "Pro DX" and not for the "Anti Contest". I chase DX 
and contest but do stay out of the 75M (3.790-3.800) during contests and out 
of the 160M DX window (1.830-1.835) unless calling DX. This is a courtsey to 
the other operators throughout the world who are not partaking in contests 
such as the domestic US/VE SS contests. It is easy to forget that 1KW on 75 to 
a dipole or an inverted vee is much more effective as a transmitter than as a 
reciever when looking for a clear run spot. (Thus the "alligator" effect .. 
Big mouth no ears). Although the band may seem dead to a station with minimal 
recieve antennas it is not dead for the stations who do chase DX on 75 meters 
with effective recieve antennas. In my personal  experience the DXers do not 
mind vacating either the 75 or the 160 DX window for the major worldwide 
contests (CQWW and ARRL DX). Charley W1TE

I didn't run into that, but I did run into the clown on 28325. This guy
started off out of nowhere really foul mouthed. I guess he took a disliking
to my voice keyer. Without insulting anyone, he did have quite a regional
accent and my beam was pointed at 85 degrees from LA. He kept telling me the
contest "just wasn't going to happen" on his frequency, even though I had
been running there for 30 minutes. My recording of it would be hilarious, if
it wasn't so sad. I worked a few guys through him just to show him I could.
20/20 hindsight, I should have faked a real good run of QSOs and pretended
he was piss weak, but that didn't occur to me until later. I'm proud to say
the only thing I said to him was "Do you have a call sign?" and "We'll have
to get Riley after you." Of course, then he started being foul mouthed about
Riley.

Yes, I have heard it both in contests and in DX pileups.

On Sunday afternoon I heard someone doing that on a contester who was
trying to run stations.  He was so much louder than the interferer,
though, that it wasn't much of a problem.  These guys just can't do much
to a big-time contest station's signal.

Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20021118152953.037f34e0@netmail.home.com>

All,

I have a little pistol station running 100W (proximity to neighbors 
prohibits me from turning the amp on during contests) into a KT34-A and a 
vertical for 40m/80m .  I have had what I think is pretty good success in 
my SOLP efforts but when I look at the results on the 3830 reflector I 
clearly have a long way to go!  So what I was hoping to do is solicit some 
information from other Low power contesters who score big 
points.  Obviously antennas are important so I am interested in what kind 
of antennas the top stations have, but I am also interested in strategy... 
when to run(if possible) vs. S&P, when do you change bands, when do you 
point the beam at Europe, when do you hunt mults.

It would be great to receive electronic logs from some big point stations 
and I can then use Excel to glean a lot of the strategy information out of 
them.  If I am off base to suggest this then I apologize, I realize they 
represent "secrets of the trade", but because of that they would be a great 
source of information to a newbie like myself who wants to improve his 
skills,  and I figured it was worth a shot!  :)

Thanks for the bandwidth.

I think any contester that does any running for any length of time runs into
this during every contest.

I agree.

Take a look at the last couple of years, with the unlimited club compitition 
between NCCC, PVRC & SMC. Those three clubs (and others!) are really getting 
folks on the air for SS. This is really, IMO, a great thing for the hobby!

14.284, Saturday evening, some clown did a recording of me calling CQ. It he 
was very strong, but lasted about 5 min. It stopped when I thanked him for 
confirming my audio was loud & clear. then, I shut up, let him call cq a 
couple times, & worked the guys that came back!!! hehehe

I have been in further contact with Lali, the CY0MM group leader. He says
that "I talked to a couple of guys about Sable. They tried to push this CB
thing, however I never agreed to anything at all."

It is entirely possible that all this could be a pipe dream on the part of
the SD bunch. I for one am not going to take this any further at this time.
Maybe Policing worked and maybe it wasn't necessary except to get rid of
that web site and the implications it raised.

Nice trick. I had an experience with a couple of folks on 3.851. After
calling CQ for 15 minutes or so I got the typical "hey you are
QRMing...blah...didn't your FCC test have a question about intentional
interference...blah..." I worked folks under him pretty well, but it was
of course annoying. Anyway it struck me that he was no longer using
3.853 where he told me he was being interfered with and his buddies
probably came down to listen to him harass me. He was VERY long winded
so I just popped up there for five minutes before he figured it out!
Then I just popped back to 3.851. He left me alone for the next half an
hour at which time I was ready to leave anyway.

I really enjoy reading the comments section on the 3830 score reporter. I
read every comment, regardless of the entry category. After slaving away
over hot radios for an entire weekend, reading the comments only takes a
few minutes and really helps to savor the experience. I'm somewhat
disappointed that a lot of scores, even big ones, are submitted without
comments, probably because the submitter is tired after the contest, and
just wants to dump the score in and get it over with. I would suggest
that it is better to wait a day or two before submitting the score, with
comments, for the enjoyment of all.

I have to confess using the same assistance in EU HF Champs this summer:)
Had not many stations coming back to my CQs when I moved to 80m but somebody
started to play back my recorded voice keyer audio to me. He was reasonably
strong with clear audio and it felt kind of awkward to call CQ with two
signals on the same frequency so I moved down to work a few guys on S&P. I
returned after 2 minutes to find out that there was a DL station calling me
who had just come back to my friend's CQ and the guy himself had obviously
got bored and left.

So I worked the DL and continued with a nice run:)

There's an interesting juxtaposition of threads on the reflector right now:

1.  Hams should be self-policing, re: Sable Island

2.  Contesters take offense when told to QSY out of agreed-upon DX windows

So does that mean that hams should be self-policing only when it's convenient?

The 80m DX window is a gentleman's agreement.  There is no way to enforce 
it except self-policing.  I agree that it's a good thing to keep clear 
during domestic contests.

This weekend, on 80, 2 guys were on either side of me playing dueling 
carriers.
I'd been CQing for about 2 minutes without a call. I said, "I was about to 
leave the frequency, but now I'm staying." They left.
Several times while CQn (not this weekend though) I've had someone keying up 
right on top of me. No matter how loud they are I ask the next guy I work if 
he can hear it.
I then tell him, I can kinda of hear something, but it's not very loud here. 
The idiots leave EVERY TIME.
In NAQP SSB some lid was playing We Are The Champions on my run freq.
When he let up I said - Thanks pal, I love Queen. He left.

I'd like to second Dave's comments.  Living in an area with almost no
contesters (Northern Ontario, where QST and CQ are not available at
newstands), reading the comments & stories posted with score summaries on
3830 is pretty much how I learned to contest.  Band changes, openings, run
vs. s&p, SO2R, all of it.  I can honestly say that if it hadn't been for the
many outstanding write-ups posted by K5ZD and others, I'd still be lost
regarding contests, and probably would have lost interest long ago.

Sincere thanks to Randy, and all like him, who share not only their scores
on 3830, but their experiences as well.

I think that it's a little presumptuous to call "DX windows"
gentleman's agreements.  They are special interest
arrangements that have been invented without universal
concurrence.

I'm wary of seeming inconsistent, since I adamantly oppose contest-free 
zones on the other bands, but it seems to me that a few kHz on 80 during 
phone SS is an acceptable compromise, particularly given that SS is a 
domestic contest and domestic signals are ALL so darned loud on 80.

Maybe we need a new category:  "Unintentionally assisted multi-state
transmitter" - precedence "X".

Message-ID: <Springmail.0994.1037718897.0.77256600@webmail.atl.earthlink.net>

I think we have all had experiences like this thread has related...but Sunday
evening I went to 75m for a while, and per chance came on a dead frequency, I
asked if the frequency was in use and a fellow replied that he had been using
it, but was going to eat supper and that I could go ahead....Wow...and it was
a nice clear frequency!  So I called CQ and worked a bunch of guys for 40
minutes maybe when after a QRZ a voice came on and said "Boy was supper good!"
 I asked if he wanted his freq back, and he said no, go ahead, that he would
S&P a bit.

A good experience...never got the fellows call, but Thanks!

You gotta get on all of the bands - especially in the ARRL DX
contests where it is easier for LP stations to work DX.  Note
that I said it was easier to work DX in the ARRL, not that
it was easier to place well!  The competition seems to be
even stronger in the ARRL DX than in CQ DX for LP stations.
You have to get the multipliers to go with the contacts, and
80 and 160 are important for multipliers.  With your "East
Coast" location, you should be able to work some Europeans on
160 to go with the easier Carribean mults.

Most importantly, compete against yourself.  I REALLY, REALLY
want to win the USA in a DX contest, but it's hard to do
from the fringes of the Black Hole.  However, I "made my
own category" by going for the mythical USA All Around LP
DX champion, combining SSB & CW scores for the CQ WW, 
ARRL DX, and CQ WPX contests.  This past contest season (2001-
2002) I "WON" this category and am now "DEFENDING" my
"CHAMPIONSHIP."  

Best of luck.

All,

I have a little pistol station running 100W (proximity to neighbors 
prohibits me from turning the amp on during contests) into a KT34-A and a 
vertical for 40m/80m .  I have had what I think is pretty good success in 
my SOLP efforts but when I look at the results on the 3830 reflector I 
clearly have a long way to go!  So what I was hoping to do is solicit some 
information from other Low power contesters who score big 
points.  Obviously antennas are important so I am interested in what kind 
of antennas the top stations have, but I am also interested in strategy... 
when to run(if possible) vs. S&P, when do you change bands, when do you 
point the beam at Europe, when do you hunt mults.

It would be great to receive electronic logs from some big point stations 
and I can then use Excel to glean a lot of the strategy information out of 
them.  If I am off base to suggest this then I apologize, I realize they 
represent "secrets of the trade", but because of that they would be a great 
source of information to a newbie like myself who wants to improve his 
skills,  and I figured it was worth a shot!  :)

Thanks for the bandwidth.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] 10 meters in SS
Message-ID: <009101c28fdf$1cffcb80$6b288ad8@adams.net>

While conditions on 10 were fairly good in the Midwest this weekend, K3ZO's
comments have me thinking (dangerous, I know....)

Just how many Novices and Tech Pluses are there left on 10 SSB?  The N/T
factor was a big one on 10 in the early 90's in SS and other contests.  I'm
wondering now, though, if the bulk of those who were interested enough to
still be around, and contesting, have upgraded and are no longer confined to
28.300-28.500 for SSB privileges?

Any comments? 73, Jim N9JF

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Harrassment & Favorite Beverage de VY1JA
Message-ID: <000901c28fe3$d4085820$14096cd8@jallen>

Perhaps two threads join on this matter.

First, I think that Ken, K6LA stumbled into the same pit that I had.

In one of my very early years of SS contesting, I started early on 28.325
and was QRMed by a GROUP of guys claiming that 28.325 was their frequency,
and that no contest was going to stop them from using it, so I would have to
QSY so that they could start up.  I am  usually fast to move on in cases
where people ask in a civilized manner, but their first attempt at asking
was with a club.

I told them that I had been on the frequency for several hours and that they
should by rights move a little up or down from there and find a clear
frequency if they could.  I discussed it with them for several minutes, and
decided not to fight the increasing rudeness which followed, as logic and
adherence to the FCC rules did not seem to apply to them.

After they forced "their frequency" from me, I listened see if they could
establish a chat group there.  It was a very interesting to listen to.

The group has within it several people that were acting as passband police.
As they attempted to establish themselves in the middle of SS, the "cops"
continued by harassing others in the area with cat calls, with carriers, and
obscene language, which makes me think that perhaps they had tried a little
too much of their "favorite beverage" from another current CQ-Contest
thread.

Since that time, I have heard them or others like them, even though I
started up a little higher, on 28.337.  They have never used their calls nor
started by asking politely.  If I notice QRM below me, I will ask the
persons generating it to give me a little more room, using my call, and if
it does not work, I slide up.  This year, if I can assume that it was part
of the same group, I was QRMed deliberately with every tool imaginable for
about two straight hours, and moving up or down in the high level of
activity on 10 was not an option.

Thanks to the many fine operators that endured the interference, totally
ignoring the nuisances as we worked together to get the QSOs through, it was
a record year for me.  This was largely due to QRM busting skills of those
that worked me in that spot 12 above "their frequency".

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Remote Internet Access - 72 mile path
Message-ID: <FJECJCDPGLAELGCJIMMNGEHDIHAA.barry@mxg.com>

If your contest station is out in the sticks with no
phone line, you may be interested in using WireLess LAN.

Article in ComputerWorld about San Diego County HPWREN
network for seismic data collection describes a connection
with 1 watt 2.4GHZ 802.11b WLAN and 2 foot parabolic antennas
to connect San Clemente Island across a 72 mile path.
 
The 11 Mbit/sec rate of 802.11b was cut to 1 Mbit/sec
by the extreme path length.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] ACOM Customer Service
Message-ID: <008001c28ff8$f501ea40$3200a8c0@Bob.etiquality.com>

A couple of months ago I bot an ACOM A-1000 6M thru 160m ampl.

The amp arrIvied slightly damaged tnx to ruff handling by UPS!    Damage was 
cosmetic and the ampl wked fine.  I filed the required damaged reports with UPS.
Eventually they made it to Will's desk at acom.

I figured at best I wud get some new sheet metal from ACOM but was amazed to 
hear that Will was going to send me a whole new  ampl!!   Not only did ACOM 
send a new ampl they did it b4 getting the damaged one back!

They also paid for the rtn freight charges on the damaged unit.    I say they 
went above and beyond wat most suppliers would do in today's  world.

3 cheers for the boys at ACOM  de Bob, W7GG

I'm comfortable with the DX Window, and do not wish to see it
weakened.

I'm uncomfortable when I see customs and habits defended in an
indefensible manner.  My concern is that encouraging DXers to
believe that they have a "window" reserved for themselves by
gentleman's agreement will lead to strife, i.e., belief that anyone
who may happen to transmit in the DX window must be violating
the gentleman's agreement, therefore he must not deserve treatment
befitting a gentleman.

We're seeing examples of this strife in the opinions expressed on
the reflector in this thread.  Part of the reason is that the custom
of
leaving the low end of 75 to DXers makes less sense during
contests that generate a great deal of band congestion.  Frankly, I
believe that a small number of "contests" override all customary
and habitual bandplans by the very weight of their levels of
participation.  To declare that the DX window should be thought
of as inviolate during these contests actually weakens the concept
of a DX window by associating it with indefensible levels of greed.

It's a little like hearing that the Texas Cattleman's Association has
a gentleman's agreement in effect that Texas shall be a sheep free
zone.  Now, I'm in favor of cattle.  I find sheep displeasing as food.
A personal preference.  But, I'm going to be very careful about how
I encourage the cattlemen to defend Texas against sheep.

that works the other way also.  in a recent contest i was on 40m ssb cqing
and was just about to leave for another band when someone came on and
asked if he could call his net buddies and move them to another frequency
since i was on their normal one... nice enough to ask at least, so i told
him that he could have the frequency if his buddies gave me some
contacts... they did, and i left them happy to have their frequency nice
and clear.  hopefully i won't lose them all as uniques!

Although rare on CW, I've even had it happen there.

At 9M6AAC in the 1999 CQWW CW,  I'd been running on 40 meters when the call 
9M6AAC was dumped on my frequency.  Figuring it was someone unsure of our 
call, I said "go ahead" in whatever form.  The caller kept coming back with 
"9M6AAC", at which point I figured it was someone screwing around, and so I 
just kept working the other callers as best I could.  Then the joker started 
calling CQ de 9M6AAC.  I sat back and heard a few guys answering him as well, 
though he did not pass out any exchanges. (I guess I just could have logged 
them if he did??)  

I tried again CQing myself, and he started CQing too.  By now he had 
obviously set up his computer/memory keyer with an autorepeat CQ about every 
20 seconds, but screwed it up to using the call 9M6AC.  By then I gave up, 
and went to some other far away frequency or another band.  But I think I 
checked back at least once and heard the auto-CQ still going on.


My favorite harrassment story is still from a DX contest a year or so ago at 
K8AZ.  I was running on the high end of 20 SSB when some guy comes on with 25 
wpm CW sending "F*** You" .  I ignored it the first few times, but finally I 
came back and said "The station calling on CW, I'm sorry OM, but I just 
upgraded from Technician and can't copy what you're sending.  QRZ from K8AZ".

I never heard him again, though a few minutes later some bozos fired up on 
SSB for their net or regular schedule, rendering the frequency unusable.

It is not the same but we were using a wireless lan in last CQWW (multi/multi) 
and it was the best improvement... as we fotgot all the RFI on the PCs :-)

No wires, no RFI ;-)

Generally, If I have been sitting there just monitoring a clear frequency
and someone asks if it is busy, I reply with a truthful "no."

This frequently surprises the inquirer!

What the heck.

All I can say is...you don't know the half of it, my friend.  I bought the
2000A amp, S/N 100, and the support they have given me has been just
unbelievable.  I have had tropical bugs crawling through it causing
shorts...left it out in the rain to get waterlogged...exposed it to salt
spray...and abused it as should never be allowed.  Yet Acom has bailed me
out every time, unflinchingly.  Three years later, despite the abuse, it's
still chugging along like a champ.    Yes, those guys do a super job of
supporting even us dummies.

Hi all and Pete
The first suggestion is to forget the habit he developed using  a  DX40 and
talk normal and use the mike gain

Message-ID: <12b.1b6926f6.2b0c5299@aol.com>

A quick word about loops and yagis...

I have messed around with quad loops and yagis since the 70s.  Both are 
excellent performers and from my experience, I don't think there is a whole 
lot of difference in them on the radiated signal.  However, I have found 
quads are more broadbanded and hear a lot better.  As far as the mechanics 
go, I'll take a Yagi any day.

With this being said though, I am currently using loop arrays on 75 meters.  
They are flat topped delta loops with the tops being around 160-170 feet 
high.  I have a 4 el facing Europe and 2 el facing JA and a 2 el facing 
VK/ZL.  The systems are suspended by a rope system from my towers.  They are 
killer antennas.  I believe  LPL uses a similar system and I know KC1XX has 
the stacked quads.

Mechanically, my loops antennas are superior to a 75 meter Yagi  and have 
been up for four years with no problems.  Probably the equivalent Yagis at 
the same height would work about as well, but on 75 would they stay up as 
long and would they be as easy to maintain?...nope.  Sometimes quads are the 
answer, sometimes yagis.  Nothing is black and white...always gray.  It 
depends on the band.

Message-ID: <001701c29045$f6210ee0$d301010a@kelley>

Howdy all,

After working my first SS this past weekend, I'm looking for some advice on
filters. I run a Icom IC-746. It currently has no filters in it other then
what comes with the radio. I notice that Icom sells a couple of different
SSB filters for this radio. One is a 1.9 KHz filter for the 9 MHz IF, and
the other is a 1.8 KHz filter for the 455 KHz IF (I think I have those
right). My questions then are:

1. Do I get both filters?

2. If not both, which single one is best?

3. Is there a third party filter that I should consider (I really don't want
to have to solder anything in place if possible).

Thanks all,

Kelley -- W?RK

Yes, get both if you can.

> 2. If not both, which single one is best?

If you only get one, get the one for the 9MHz IF.  You want the filtering to
occur as early as possible in the IF/AGC chain.

I don't know if anyone else makes ICOM compatible filters.

Message-ID: <3DDB20B2.6B775106@rain.org>

I have been using LogPlus as my logging program for years. The author is
no longer supporting it and it died without a Windows version. I am now
looking for a Windows compatible logging program that will support my
SO2R setup.  I use NA for all my contesting with SO2R.

Are there any? I also chase 5BDXCC, 5BWAZ, IOTA and hope there is a
program that will does it all: award management, searches, etc., and
radio/rotator control, SO2R, RF PacketCluster connects, DXTelnet.

I'm sure this has been brought up before, so I ask too, is there a Web
site that may have the analysis of the major logging programs?

I think there is an element of anti-contest in this situation too.  However,
the absurdity of it hit home for me several years back when I was doing a
75m single band effort in the WPX SSB.  I was calling CQ on 3795, and I was
told to move.  I asked why and was told because it was the DX window.  I
replied, thanks - that's exactly why I'm here - to work DX!  This was not
accepted as a logical course of events and was followed with all sorts of
noises, jamming etc.

I do think that calling CQ SS in this area should be avoided, but there has
to be tolerance of using the window area for DX contests.

Actually, I'd like to see the band segments put back the way they were so
that the advanced band started at 3800, which really was cool as many DX
stations would call CQ in the window, and listen above 3800 for callers.
Those were days.

It is not the same but we were using a wireless lan in last CQWW

and it was the best improvement... as we fotgot all the RFI on the PCs :-)

Message-ID: <20021120091102.53690.qmail@web40612.mail.yahoo.com>

TA2BK is on the air & CQ WW SSB 2002 

It's always a fun operating the CQ-WW Tests, but it's extraordinary doing it 
from my alternative qth here in Bozcaada, IOTA AS-099, in the near vicinity of 
the ancient site of Troy. It seems that being near Troy gives some additional 
dB, hi hi  (see the claimed scores of the Macedonian Team which were guests in 
this qth during the WPX-CW Contest )! 

Of course you have to be very accurate in terms of the ferry-schedule. Murphy 
had its first appearence on the 400 km trip from Istanbul towards Bozcaada, 
therefore we missed the last ferry at Friday. Next one meant next day 0700 Z. 
Well, no other way! Murphy the second: Keys of the house were forgotten in 
Istanbul, therefore we had search for the person on the island who had the 
spare ones. We were quite lucky as he was "not in the fields" and could be 
found in about one hour.

I was accompanied by Selim,TA2DS who would never and by no means miss such an 
activity, even as a spectator but mostly as the "technical chief"... Well, the 
recently acquired TS-850 had to get a connection cable to the amp etc etc. " 
Jefe" Selim would never let somebody else doing such things, as nobody than him 
would get those things "perfectly perpendicular".

Finally, with almost a delay of  11 hours TA1E/0 was on the air ! Of course or 
as usual no desktop mike and no voice synthetizer, which meant also a good deal 
of test for the throat, hi ! Meanwhile Selim was busy in taking care of other 
items. One of his top items on the agenda was cooking. I would like to propose 
an award of  "The Best Cooking Ham" to the CQ-Magazine. I'm quite confident 
that Selim will be a winner in series,even in the "mixed" category competing 
with YL's and XYL's... I am ready to make this qth available for this "special 
contest" with a good deal of any sort of herbs and other useful ingredients 
readily available in the garden...

Antenna was moderate (3 El-Tribander, 11 m off the ground), the amp lazy, 
pushing out only 300 W (spare tubes were forgotten in Istanbul as well-Murphy 
the third) but conditions  were superb. Therefore qso-rates were impressive, 
peaking to 150 or sometimes more qso's per hour. A very contributing factor of 
course was the "Special Contest Menu" of  Jefe Selim, hi !

Well, with some "tactical techniques" I was able also to work some nice 
multiplicators. I observed that quite a lot of  stations in the Caribbean 
especially had some sort of "fixed" antennas to USA, absolutely neglecting our 
part of the World, including Europe. One of these "Mighty Guys" from was very 
loud, even beaming towards USA, but his problem seemed to be ignoring any call 
besides USA or any signal below S9 +++ and continously activating his "parrot". 
He missed at least one multi, unfortunately I missed one as well. The other 
observation was the absence of quite some European countries such as T7, T9, Z3 
and ZA. Hopefully next year there will be some more activity there... Thanks to 
the DL and SP Stations for the nice points.

I ended up with .... qso's, ... DXCC-Entities and .. Zones. I wish I had 
contributed more to my team "TA2BK is on the air". Thanks to a bright idea of 
Berkin, TA3J we decided to commemorate our Founding Member and great person 
Bahri by participating to the contest this way. See you next year, hopefully 
with less Murphies and better antennas. 73! Aziz SASA, TA1E/0

Q:1.1.  What is an FAQ?
Q:1.2.  Where can I get a copy?

        FAQ stands for "Frequently Asked Questions".  It tries
        to cover common questions/problems/issues associated
        with Icom's IC-746 HF/VHF amateur radio transceiver.

        The master copy is kept at:

                http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IC746/files/IC746-faq.txt

        Mirrored copies (after a short delay) appear at:

                http://www.qsl.net/kb9sss/IC-746/IC746-faq.txt
                http://www.skysdaughter.com/icom746-faq

        You do not need a Yahoo email account to access the
        master copy, however, you will need a logon account.
        Yes, that is a subtle but hopefully minor distinction.
        Not everyone is willing to have a login account at Yahoo
        (even if it is free), which is one of several reasons
        for maintaining the mirror sites.

        We also make sporadic postings of the FAQ to:

                news:rec.radio.amateur.equipment

        usually in the first half of a month.

    Don't know about the ease of installation (non-soldering) but the filters 
from George, W2VJN, are the ones to get. Their skirts are steeper and they'll 
run circles around the filters from the manufacturers. George's company is

    I've used them in a couple of radios and love their performance.

I've got to chime in my approval for cross-frequency operation on 75 SSB
during
contests.  I honestly believe that more contacts can be made in this
fashion.

When I was operating DX contests at W6HX in the 70's I had a number of
contests in
which I had contact totals in the range of 400 on 75M.  These were primarily
the JA's
that I could work cross-frequency, with them transmitting below 3600.  As
soon as the
JA's got a window around 3790, and could work on-frequency with US stations,
contact
totals for all West Coast stations on 75M were cut in half, and 40M contact
totals were
reduced by 100 or so.  Japanese stations simply refused to work
cross-frequency on
75 after that.  The JA 75M DX window was remarkably narrow, and the best
periods
of the potential JA runs are typically prevented because large pile-ups of
US stations
calling SA and Caribbean stations block most trans-Pacific activity.  These
kinds of
problems must be limiting factors for all but the most dominant East Coast
stations
working Europe as well, but perhaps not quite as severe.

Most likely there was an effect on contact numbers to Japan on the other
bands too,
with remarkably fewer casual contesters from Japan taking part in the
contests from
one year to the next (this is harder to quantify due to the effect of
sunspot variations.
It was a tragedy to California stations, as there has never since been a
major DX
contest in which a US victory came from 6-land.  Increasing numbers of
European
hams provided part of the reason for this, but I believe that it had tragic
spin-off
consequences for CW contests as well, as there was a general drop in DX
contest
activity in Japan out of proportion with the number of licensed hams in
Japan.

Well, it's too late to get that back.  Let's face it, without
cross-frequency contacts the
40/75/160M phone bands are severely limited for DX due to local interference
levels.

I don't know if all of the desired capability is there, but it may be useful
to look into Writelog as this is the only major contest program that runs
on Windows.  K5ZD likes it, and he is in a good position to know...

I think that 10m is less of an issue - I too get the feeling 
that almost everyone who is intrested in the HF bands has 
taken the written test and upgraded to use of all the bands.

So now we can work them on all the band - not just 10m.

Ray...

FWIW, I have been trying out different logging programs for years and 
have yet to find one that covers everything I want for contesting AND 
general logging, all in one package...

My absolute favourite (by far)  for contesting is N1MM Logger, a real 
Windows program (no DOS Windows, Boot disks, TSR's and stuff) with all 
the features needed...Programmable macros for CW, SSB wav files, RTTY 
and PSK31...Connects to Telnet/Packet for spotting...The best looking 
bandmaps I have seen..."Enter Sends Message" mode is one of my favourite 
features (eliminates using "F" keys for each message, the ENTER key 
takes you through the whole QSO, from CQ to TU)...Two radio 
support...Excellent technical support and it's FREE (Not Shareware with 
a free trial version, it's free for the latest fully functional 
version)....Cabrillo, ADIF etc etc export...The list goes on and on...A 
real professionally done, fully featured piece of Windows software...Try 
it...

WriteLog is also an excellent Windows contesting program...Can't vouch 
for it's general logging capabilities, but it is a good contesting 
program...Between Writelog and N1MM, I get just about all the contests 
supported that I work...

For general logging I have chosen Win-EQF...Great award tracking, 
searching, radio support and a fairly good contesting module...It's 
designed more-so for general logging vs contesting

A search will give you dozens of other ones...Some good, some not so 
good and many I haven't tried...10 people will give you 10 different 
opinions...Try a bunch of them, there are lots and one may just fit what 
your looking for...

Have not heard of a website that rates the major ones, although someone 
else likely has found one...

Kelley,
I had the exact question a couple of years ago with my then new IC746.  I 
was planning on using the 746 on 6m and 2m for vhf weak signal work, 
contesting and as a back-up to my IC765 for HF contesting (which already 
had narrow SSB filters in both IF's that worked very well) and I wanted to 
narrow the IF to better reject adjacent frequency interference.  Like you, 
I didn't want the wire-in filter mod so I compromised by purchasing the 
1.9KHz Icom narrrow SSB filter for the 9MHz IF and the 1.8Khz narrow SSB 
filter for the 455KHz IF from INRAD.  This combo sharpens up the IF 
considerably (it almost makes rag chewing uncomfortable because of the loss 
of the wider fidelity but that is easily fixed with a push of the FILTER 
button to toggle back into the stock 2.4KHz Icom filters) and makes 
contesting and dx'g on a crowded band much more bearable.  I have found the 
IC746 with filters to be a very respectable radio.  Probably a better way 
to go is to purchase the wire-in filter from INRAD for the 9MHz IF as well 
as the INRAD drop in filter for the 455KHz IF but my compromise worked out 
very well without any internal changes to the IC746.
INRAD's webpage is at:  http://www.qth.com/inrad/

Ray,
        I have found the following to be the simplest solution to all
my ham radio needs and especially for those of us who used LogPlus.
I do everything using 3 programs but it's simple. 
        The first thing you want to do is install a program called BV.
I use BV6 http://www.qsl.net/df3cb/bv.html for all my qsl'ing needs
and I print directly to my cards. No more messing around with labels.
You can print to labels if you prefer. BV7 is available but BV6 works
great for me and I don't believe in fixing what isn't broken. I think
the GREATEST feature of BV is the file conversion function. You can
convert your LogPlus files to an ADIF file, a BV file, etc. There are
many conversion options. EVERYONE should be using this program even if
only for this feature. You can even take a Sweepstakes log and tell
the program to remove the exchange from the log and replace the
exchange with 59/599! How slick is that?! This is what I do before I
import my Sweepstakes log into Logger or BV. There is also a mailing
list for the BV program ( bv6@yahoogroups.com) but there is not too
much activity on it. I guess people aren't having problems. Oh, the BV
program is free!
        I use Logger ( http://www.qsl.net/kc4elo/logger.htm ) for ALL
logging and award tracking. I love it and it's free. I'm not a rag
chewer. I chase dx and operate contests ( CW, RTTY, SSB). So for
chasing dx I use Logger. Before I operate a contest I create an .ADIF
file from Logger for all activity since the last contest ( you can
create and ADIF file by dates in Logger) and import it into BV6. When
operating a contest I use Writelog for the 3 modes. After the contest
I make WL create an ADIF file and I import it into Logger AND BV6. So
all logs go to Logger and all qsl activity is done from BV. It's
really slick!
        One more tip! Whenever  you have a screwed up contest file and
you want to make a correction to all or some of the qso's at the same
time ( i.e the wrong date) without typing a lot, use the Programmer's
File Editor. This has saved my ass on a few occassions. It's not
supported anymore but it works just great and can be downloaded at :

Yes, but, 10M is a phenomena not just a wavelength. There is no 15-15 
International Club. 

There are those who are using monoband radios, whips and low power to 
successfully work the world. There is no other HF band with so many who can 
get such profound results with such a modest investment.

There is no other HF band with so much real estate. There are seldom other HF 
bands where E and F skip happen at the same time. There are no other HF bands 
where you can work tropo scatter when the band is closed.

Go ahead and QSY. I'll be on 10 creating activity when everyone else is 
listening to see if the band is open.

I love ten meters too...it's a great band.  I wouldn't miss the 10 meter 
contest for anything.

However, you guys out west love ten a little more than we do back east. 
Sweepstakes is a matter of working the large areas of population.  For you 
guys it means getting on ten to work the midwest and the northeast.  When the 
band is open east west like that it is harder for us to get a really good 
opening to those areas here in the southeast.  Fifteen provided that opening 
for us this year at the beginning of the contest and twenty is THE place to 
be if you are in the southeast.  Why screw with ten and be connon-fodder for 
the W6 and W7 stations?..:-)  I made 15 QSOs on 10 this year and had my best 
relative finish ever in SS.  For SS in the southeast, there's no meters like 
20 meters.

There was an attempt to start a 12-12 club when that
band was first open to ham use.  I know, I was 12-12
#84.  I think that the novelty of 10 meters will die
down some when the new generals and extras experience
their first sunspot minimum.  Yes the band will have
occassional TE, and Eskip, but those things are hard
to predict.  Nowdays you can turn the radio on and
hear DX every day during the winter.  Many new
licensees who have not been thru a sunspot minimum
don't know what to expect yet.  

Also, we should be indebted to the freebander market
for creating the need for all of those 10 meter
monobander rigs.  Go look at www.copper.com.  For
every 10 meter monobander, there is a video called
"Tricks and tips" which lists modifications for that
rig.  Why do I think that the modification is not to
improve CW waveform?

Leigh makes a very good point. Since we got the VK "window at 3794 to 3800 I
find it hard to make anything like a good number of Q's on 80.

It is really not fair to tie up this window with endless CQ's. I tried to
get it made a contest free zone here in VK because I knew what would happen.
However, that was not successful. Although I am sure those that hand out
numbers there would, in the main, scream like stuck pigs if I were to really
set the CQ machine going there and monopolise it.

I do, now, reply there to others CQ's and that's how I get a few mults. It
is really not suitable as a contesting spot. Too much QRM from others
wanting to use it.

However, I used to be able to CQ on 3695+ - and get a pile up going further
up the band. No longer. Even many of the big multi stations require a nudge
on 40 to listen down for me when they say they still need a mult on 80.

A number of times in recent contests I have run the CQ machine on 3695
listening up while I s&p on 20/40 with the  other radio. So little return
that it is not worthwhile.

There are regular VK's in the DX window and the US stations get the mult and
then don't bother any longer. I can hear them Cqing away on 375/6/7/ and no
reply when they could be working at least a few of us on 3695.

It may improve when the sunspots means that Q's on 80 get more important in
the overall scheme of things.

Now if I could just get the Europeans to listen up on 40 around 2100z we
might get somewhere really interesting Hi Hi.

Subject:        Re: [CQ-Contest] 80M DX window???

I've got to chime in my approval for cross-frequency operation on 75 SSB
during
contests.  I honestly believe that more contacts can be made in this
fashion.

When I was operating DX contests at W6HX in the 70's I had a number of
contests in
which I had contact totals in the range of 400 on 75M.  These were primarily
the JA's
that I could work cross-frequency, with them transmitting below 3600.  As
soon as the
JA's got a window around 3790, and could work on-frequency with US stations,
contact
totals for all West Coast stations on 75M were cut in half, and 40M contact
totals were
reduced by 100 or so.  Japanese stations simply refused to work
cross-frequency on
75 after that.  The JA 75M DX window was remarkably narrow, and the best
periods
of the potential JA runs are typically prevented because large pile-ups of
US stations
calling SA and Caribbean stations block most trans-Pacific activity.  These
kinds of
problems must be limiting factors for all but the most dominant East Coast
stations
working Europe as well, but perhaps not quite as severe.

Most likely there was an effect on contact numbers to Japan on the other
bands too,
with remarkably fewer casual contesters from Japan taking part in the
contests from
one year to the next (this is harder to quantify due to the effect of
sunspot variations.
It was a tragedy to California stations, as there has never since been a
major DX
contest in which a US victory came from 6-land.  Increasing numbers of
European
hams provided part of the reason for this, but I believe that it had tragic
spin-off
consequences for CW contests as well, as there was a general drop in DX
contest
activity in Japan out of proportion with the number of licensed hams in
Japan.

Well, it's too late to get that back.  Let's face it, without
cross-frequency contacts the
40/75/160M phone bands are severely limited for DX due to local interference
levels.

Ray,
I use also BV for QSL, Logger for General logging, awards tracking, all digi
modes, some PSK31 contests and Satellites. But for Contesting I use TRlog
for SSB and CW and WF1B for RTTY. The editor that I use is UltraEdit (great
thing!).

While I'm quite happy with TR for contesting, it's got its drawbacks for
general QSO logging.  I've never found a general QSO logging program I
really liked.  So finally, a few weeks ago, I did something I've long been
threatening to do.

Wrote my own.

Shetlands, 4U1VIC , TA1, etc.

One source for the WAE list is: http://www.darc.de/referate/dx/fed.htm

Does anyone know of a web site that lists the solar indices by date,

For the truly obsessed, the entire history of the 2400 MHz solar flux
since the first day it was measured is available at 

http://www.drao.nrc.ca/icarus/www/daily.html

Magnetic information for the last couple of years is available at

Thanks to everyone for all of the input on filters for my Icom 746.

The summary of all the emails, both to the list and private are as follows:

1. Get both filters. The PBT works better that way.

2. If I get one, get the 9 MHz filter.

3. Get InRad filters instead of Icom filters.

Thanks,

Message-ID: <000501c29256$7067f8a0$c8e62341@tampabay.rr.com>

I was a Novice who didn't know squat but my Elmer suddenly had need of a 15
meter beam for the family antenna farm, which previously had had none.  This
is how things were with my Dad, W1CW - a giving man who always put his
interests last and everyone else's first.

Dad was the guy who made the DXCC what it was - he checked and administered
the program for almost a quarter century in Newington, and he didn't cut any
corners - everyone was held to the same high standards - this is what made
holding DXCC meaningful.  That was during the "heyday" of DXCC, including
the evolution of the DXpedition.  Dad later went on to set up and run the
"new" ARRL outgoing QSL Bureau.

Finally, when he moved to Tampa after Hurricane Andrew we had an opportunity
to put together a big ham station - capable of being first through the
pileups and supporting multi-operator entries in contests.  For numerous
hours in the early planning stages we would talk on the telephone while both
sitting in front of computers running YO trying antenna designs for the new
15 meter beam for the station.  Dad's final design has been a killer into EU
ever since.

I was in heaven - we would work on the projects during the week while I was
at work and on the weekends and I would install that needed special mounting
plate or reinforcement - that would be Dad's project for the week.... and I
would come over on Saturdays and piece by piece the antenna farm grew.  W1YL
(Mom) didn't always approve of Dad's priorities but I always thought they
were in order.  Multi-ops were hosted and certificates and plaques started
showing up in the mailbox.  This was ham-heaven.

During late nights when he could not sleep W1CW loved 40 meter CW -
especially since his station now had something he had never had before - a
rotary yagi - at 135 feet!  Each year when I went to Dayton and saw friends
they would usually say the same thing "I heard your Dad on 40".  He was able
to enjoy the station, talking to his friends in the First Class CW
Operators' Club and at times marveling at radio - almost like a new ham
excited about his first "run" of JA stations - he would tell me "two nights
ago was really good - they just kept callin' and callin'"  Radio filled
almost all his life, ever since his step-dad W6APG introduced him to it.

After the end of each contest we would pow-wow over what could be improved
and would this  be one of the upcoming projects for the station.  Over the
years the station grew and outgrew itself - we had to put additional
operating positions out on the porch when we went multi-multi but through it
all we had a blast.  Florida Contest Group multi-operations in all the major
CW DX contests, being the hub for the W1AW/4 IARU, and a threepeat as first
place finisher in the CW SS were some of the highlights. Mom would keep us
ops all well fed - Dad would routinely walk around checking the meters [no
Red LED's on the Alphas!].  A respectable contest station was born and
raised by W1CW... be it the miles of burried ground system or the custom
turnings from his lathe it all came together into a fine machine for making
ham radio communications!

This morning my father passed away.  His health had been failing and we had
been graced with an "extra" year with my Dad after he survived triple
by-pass surgery.  I just had lunch with my Mom and my wife and my wife
looked at me as I gazed out into the back yard and Teresa smiled and said -
"their his monuments" - referring to all those towers and antennas squeezed
onto his lot!

Dad had been licensed previously as: W6QEZ, W2QPZ, KH6QJ, W6YYN, and W1WPO.
He was a radioman during WW II  and a member of ARRL for over 60 years - my
Dad would often joke at how the League was gonna lose money big time on his
lifetime membership!

In my last talks with him he wanted to hear about the big efforts planned
for this weekends CQ WW contest and especially how a fellow club member was
coming on a major antenna project.

Radio - when I was little it separated me from my Dad, as I grew older it
became the gift that turned by Dad into my best friend... thanks for the
ride, Dad - say hello to W0DX and KH6IJ for me.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Scoring  and Classification Problem of TA0-Calls in 
Contests
Message-ID: <20021124154859.7776.qmail@web40611.mail.yahoo.com>

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

During the scoring procedure for contests we got aware of  a problem which is 
unique to Turkey.

As widely known, in the Turkish Regulations the call-area 0 has been assigned 
to the islands. On the other hand there are islands which are eligible for the 
IOTA, besides some islands which are not (the islands in the Marmara Sea like 
Heybeli, Buyuk, Sivri, Kinali, Burgaz, Avsa, Marmara).

The problem is rather the location of the islands which mostly are in Asia. But 
all of the most commonly used contest-scoring and logging software count them 
automatically to Europe which causes a wrong sort of scoring, resulting in a 
unfair score for all stations which have worked any station located in the 
Turkish islands, particularly those in Asia. 

 All islands with the exception of the so called IOTA-Saros-Group (EU-186) are 
in Asia. 

In the CQ-WW-SSB Contest of 2002 the only participant from a Turkish island has 
been TA1E/0 which was located in Bozcaada, IOTA-AS-099, clearly a location in 
Asia. Therefore we ask the CQ-Contest Commitee to take this into account in 
favour of the stations having worked this particular one, if possible.

A definitive solution for the problem might be counting all TA0-Calls generally 
as Asia for contests and making a modification to the scoring software for 
accomplishing this. This is not unfair as in majority the Asian islands are 
activated during contests and there is no other alternative for solving the 
problem (it is impossible to assign distinctive Prefixes for the exceptions). 
The other fact is that the vast majority of the islands are located in Asia. 

In terms of IOTA-Contests there is no problem as scoring (and contest report 
exchange) incorporates the reference-number of the island.

I would like to ask all receipents of this mail to convey their thoughts about 
my proposal as soon as possible to me. If this solution is accepted, the next 
step has to be done by the vendors of the popular logging softwares.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.0.20021124185913.00a88820@130.94.229.242>

In CQWW-CW I had about 450 QSOs - mostly on 10m, both
running and hunting.

In all QSOs the exchange I gave was 14 - not 5NN14, just
14.  Only four stations asked for their RST, indicating
that over 99% accept that it makes no difference (to them)
whether or not the other station gives a report.

The 99% are right - it doesn't matter!  Their logs will
show 599 received, and my log will show 599 sent.  Even
if I gave something other than 599 to the stations who
asked for a report, it still does not matter what's in
their log or in mine, as reports are not cross-checked
in CQWW.

Yes, the rules say that RS(T) should be exchanged, and
I broke the rules.  I did this to draw attention to the
rules themselves, and to the archaic practice of
exchanging 5NN in major contests.

Perhaps the rules can be updated, because a "rule" that
is not enforced is not a rule - it's a recommendation.
 
Recommendations are not mandatory, they're optional. It
follows, therefore, that the exchange of RS(T) in CQWW
is optional.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Miniclock problem
Message-ID: <3DE21824.14359.25E589@localhost>

Just wanted to make everyone aware of something I noted this 
weekend. I use the program "Miniclock" to give me a mini-window to 
keep time dispayed on the screen.
I noticed that Miniclock and Writelog didn't agree as I logged QSOs, on 
day 2 (it was about 2 minutes ahead, when I noticed). Also noticed that 
Writelog used the time of the clock on the task bar in logging QSOs.
I use WinXP and update my system clock to NIST every 15 minutes. 
So, that means that Miniclock, while running, doesn't get updated, when 
the system time is corrected.
My solution was to terminate and restart Miniclock every now and then. 
Otherwise, I would have thought everyone else operated the contest 2 
minutes too long :.)

FWIW...

This is one statistic that I would not lose sleep over.  For those not
aware, a European station has been reinjecting duplicate spots into a
node connected to the internet.  When sending the duplicate spot, the
time of the second spot is changed so as to defeat the dupe filters of
node software like DXSpider or ARCluster.  So, with no ill will toward
the efforts of any group, these spot statistics are meaningless.

Can't argue with this.  I thought you reduced it to "E" but had sped up the
code to 248WPM thereby sending the signal report so fast that the RF never
got past the TR relay.

That can happen, you know.

>From w3uls at 3n.net  Mon Nov 25 11:16:24 2002

Subject: [CQ-Contest] 10 meters in SS
Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.2.20021125105108.00a92b20@3n.net>

I'm a little late to this party, but here are my two cents. For me, ten 
meters is the most interesting band, which for me was proven again this 
weekend in the CQ WW CW contest. However, it's viable only when the solar 
cycle says so. I've come back to hamming after a 45-year lapse and got my 
Novice ticket at the peak of the current cycle. So I've had a ball 
operating phone on 10 meters just like I did in the early 50's (back then I 
didn't care that sporadic E was the only long distance option, and I looked 
for those openings).

However, as a Novice I recognized that having SSB privileges only on 10 
meters was very limiting for a beginner so I proposed to the FCC that it 
expand Novice/Tech Plus cum code certificate holders' privileges to include 
some SSB on the WARC bands as well as broader CW privileges on all the HF 
bands. The intent was to make the initial entry-level license privileges 
robust enough to persuade new licensees to remain in the hobby rather than 
abandon it as they now are doing in substantial numbers. (While the number 
of new licenses issued remains at a pretty good rate, the number of 
drop-outs is about equal to that rate and thus our hobby is not growing. 
Added to that fact is another: the average age of hams is increasing, which 
does not bode well for the future of our hobby.

In any event, the FCC published my petition for comment at the end of 2001 
(RM-10354) and it is awaiting action by the Commission. The ARRL followed 
up with a proposal in March 2002 to significantly expand CW privileges for 
new licensees, and the FCC also has taken the ARRL's petition under 
advisement. So something good may come out of all this. Who knows, some new 
hams even may take up contesting!

And yes, I did receive some nasty e-mails alleging character weakness on my 
part for proposing a further watering down of our hobby's requirements. But 
I'd rather see a growing group of committed hobbyists working the HF bands 
than a declining group satisfied with the status quo.

product end-of-life follows one year later:

I think is very simple, if you dont get a report it is not a valid
contact  for the Dxcc awards and others, remember that a large % of the
contacts are just people working you knowing that they could get a QSL
card if they want to.
 Maybe if we could add the name...(It will kill the rate but illmake it
so much personal,)
 more people would be interested .

well in the future as dgital modes replaces CW, we could exchange all
meaningful info, including a picture of your antennas, shack and a
family portrait including your dog (optional)
this way you can really say that you have "friends all over'



Don?t change it...

Can't argue with this.  I thought you reduced it to "E" but had sped up
the
code to 248WPM thereby sending the signal report so fast that the RF
never
got past the TR relay.

That can happen, you know.

Well, there is still Windows 98.

Anyway, MSDOS hasnt really changed significantly in many years, so why is 
it important?

Hardware compatibility is a much more important issue for most of us...ISA 
slots are all but gone, etc.  What do we do with our good 'ol DVP's?

Message-ID: <1UUS3ZVP06090664B941W5A7EDZGE.3de2711f@sum789>

Hello:

Summary of propagation conditions for both CQ WW contest weekends (SSB and CW).

Prior to the CQ WW SSB contest weekend of October 26-27, 2002, sunspot group 99 
(NOAA 0162) dominated the solar flare activity.  Several halo coronal mass 
ejections (CMEs) were observed on October 24 and 25, and from October 24 
onward, 
high-speed solar wind streams swept past the Earth, triggering geomagnetic K-
index readings as high as 7.  This resulted in an Ap of 32 on both contest 
days.  
On the first day, the observed sunspot count was 130, with an associated 10.7 
cm 
flux index of 158, and a background X-ray level of B5.4 on the first day and 
B6.0 on the second day.  Thankfully, no flares occurred during the SSB contest 
weekend.  Polar paths were fair to poor, while High-, Mid-, and Low-latitude 
paths were generally good.

Amazingly, a rocky week also preceded the CQ WW CW contest weekend of November 
23-24, 2002.  The week started out with two M-class flares, and on November 19, 
a partial halo CME left the Sun, followed by a faint full halo CME on November 
20.  Solar wind speeds increased to 700 km/s in the night between November 21 
and 22.  The magnetic component of the IMF stream turned negative (south), 
causing very high geomagnetic storming by November 22 and early November 23, 
with a peak of 7 in the K-index.  Thankfully, things settled down later on the 
first contest day.  The observed sunspot count was 133 over the weekend, with a 
10.7 cm flux of 148 on November 23, and 146 on November 24.  The background X-
ray level was B5.9 on the first day, and B4.1 on the second.  A small Kp spike 
occurred again on the second day, but did not seem to degrade most mid- and low-
latitude paths.  Polar paths were generally fair.

What were your experiences on the air?  Which bands suffered?  Which were the 
best for you?  How did the contest weekends this year compare with past years?  
Do you have any comments about propagation and band conditions for this year?  
I'll summarize your comments and include them in the CQ Propagation column.  

Thank you.

I had the shock of my life to learn from Kantronics that not only do they
not sell the KAM any more, they no longer service the broken one I have.

Danny would be proud - 'long live Appliance Operators.'

Stupid quesiton: how do people do now what they used to do with KAMs?

Nowhere in the DXCC rules does it require a signal report to be exchanged.
In order to have a valid contact, one other piece of information besides
the callsign must be exchanged.  It could be anything - a grid square, a
name, etc.

I have submitted cards for 50 MHz and 144 MHz QSO's for DXCC that just
listed a grid square, no signal report, and they were credited to my
totals just fine. 

Contest rules may be more specific.  A signal report is supposed to be
required for CQWW but none is required for Sweepstakes or NAQP.

Paul,

The signal report gives the receiving operator something to grab hold of
... in marginal conditions hearing "5NN" tells me that the next characters
following are the zone and not part of the call sign.  In poor conditions
this can be a big help.  Let's keep the signal report as a requirement.
And please send it next contest!

Well, you can buy a new 'kam xl' or use your sound card and any of the
many programs (some of which are free) out there that do all sorts of
different modes.  Sound cards are also the replacement for the dvp.

My guess is they figured that 

1) you screwed up on the exchange
2) QRM obliterated it
3) they, themselves missed it due to fatigue

In any case, they adapted, logging the (almost as unimportant part)
zone, and moved on. (I use, albeit infrequently, the zone as sort of a 
checksum on the prefix - it has saved my butt a few times)

CQWW is a rate contest so any "meaningful" exchange slows things down.  
The "599" is a sort of synchronizing sound - in QRM it lets one's 
internal audio filter (that listens for tone frequency and quality, 
fist, etc.) "lock" on the signal before the zone part comes.  The RST 
is required on DXCC QSL cards I believe - you want those folks to lie?

Tradition plays a role as well - folks are used to it.  There's nothing 
wrong with that...

John, No call? And yes you are trying to water it down to the point that
anyone who wants a license can get it and then you will have your numbers,
but a number of people who do not value their license or the hobby. Then
watch the chaos on the bands. Is that what you really want? Not me, I hope
your petition is denied.

I guess this means you have about a month to go to Micro$oft'$ web $ite and
download any remaining drivers or other add-ons for MS DOS & Windows 95.  I
guess it's just too much bother for Micro$oft to simply leave those pages
alone and unchanged (how dare we consumers continue to use older computer
technology in terms of hardware and software, don't we know better?, he
mutters sarcastically)

Digital Research's DR-DOS (also known as Novell DOS, since Novell owned
Digital Research for awhile) versions 6 & 7 were equivalent to or better
than MS-DOS 5.x & 6.x for networking support; certainly no reason to suspect
that it's been removed.  Same with IBM PC-DOS v.6. and higher.  And don't
forget about OS/2, if you can still find it somewhere; much of the time, the
OS/2 DOS compatibility box was better than the one(s) in Win 9x --
application and hardware dependant, of course.

A lot of us rely on DOS for our contest logging.  According to Microsoft's
policies, all support for DOS and Windows 95 ended on 31 December 2001 and
product end-of-life follows one year later:

Of course, this doesn't mean much, since as long as we have DOS floppies and
PCs that can load them, we can continue to build DOS-based logging systems.

Has anyone experimented with any of these DOS replacements (in a contest

Argh. Here we go again.

Used to be the only way to get a fuel injected engine was to build one. Now, 
most cars have them. Has that degraded the sport of auto racing? I think it 
has just raised the bar.

Used to be record M/S scores in CQ WW were in the 4Meg range, now they have 
doubled. Did computers, packet and digitally enhanced radios ruin the sport? 
I think they raised the bar.

The only certainty in life is change. The hobby will evolve just as HDTV will 
eventually eliminate conventional TV. Is this bad? Depends on if you watch TV 
much or not. 

Bitter lemons are the prelude to refreshing lemonade.

Ok
 
Ok Ill forward an email that I responded to Paul, where he corrected me
already so I wont get 100 other emails saying that Im wrong

 
 
 
Hi Felipe,
 
>I think is very simple, if you dont get a report it is not a valid
>contact  for the Dxcc awards and others,
 
Sorry, but you are misinformed.  No minimum report, or indeed any
report whatsoever, is needed on QSL cards for any ARRL award.
 
 
I guess that most of the world is as misinformed as me so at the end is
the same result.
 
 
You will probably know that neither ARRL Field Day nor Sweepstakes
have signal reports.
 
Yes I do, but then a again are different contests and they attrack a
different crowd.....
A crowd that?s less everyday and Field day is not really a contest.
 
If you are unsure, please check with ARRL.
 
>Don?t change it...
 
Why?  Do you think that CQWW is perfect and could not possibly be
improved, even by making RST optional?
 
Too globalized of an idea... CQWW is not perfect,  we will have to
consider them separately and if we are going to make changes to it , let
them be meaningful ones that will attract newcomers.
 
I think everyone knows that everyday there are less amateurs world wide,
we wont get more qsos shorting the time of them, we get more qsos
getting more people on.
 
With all the attention going to computers and data is very hard to
believe that its going to grow. In fact I don?t think that it will
happen, I think that all the growth we need is already in tens of
thousands of Technician type amateurs all over the world
That don?t know the thrill of low band Dx ing and contesting .. if you
ask me lets merge some of this contests into one and its going to bring
growth at all levels.
 
Just picture this:
 
Its CQWW 2005 and the Bavarian team has installed another weapon a 5
meter dish for EME  from CN8 they also have a Six meter 4 yagi stack
towards europe.
 
What they don?t count on is that the team from HC8 now has a super
system that will probably yield them with  qso?s with thousands of JA?s
from 6 to 2 meters.  
 
All over the world there are teams that will bring their best Vhf and
microwave guys to exceed in this categories most of these new guys have
never operated the low bands

 
I can be all day here talking about the possibilities of such activity,
suddenly contest expeditions to rare countries can be combined and have
many more just because its easier to share the cost with more operators.
If you think about it, its us low banders that don?t like to be compared
with the VHF likes that don?t do anything exciting and usually don?t
know CW. 
We will still have multiple categories and people can choose what they
want to operate
We just have to use basic business principles here
 more market share
the more cross sell you can do to them. Get more people ni the activity
and they will get more involved and their competitive spirit will kick
in. Remember our competition comes from the dilution created by all
these new things to do. (computers and playstations)
 
Sorry for the Bandwidth, but I just could see another conversation
regarding futile changes to the CQWW.

Nowhere in the DXCC rules does it require a signal report to be
exchanged.
In order to have a valid contact, one other piece of information besides
the callsign must be exchanged.  It could be anything - a grid square, a
name, etc.
 
I have submitted cards for 50 MHz and 144 MHz QSO's for DXCC that just
listed a grid square, no signal report, and they were credited to my
totals just fine. 
 
Contest rules may be more specific.  A signal report is supposed to be
required for CQWW but none is required for Sweepstakes or NAQP.

It was added to the country files almost four weeks before the contest!

30 October 2002 (CTY-1205)

* Added R1ANC in CQ Zone 29 to callsign list for Antarctica, CE9. 
* Added FO5RK to callsign list for Austral Is., FO/a. 
* Added K4BEV in CQ Zone 4 and KL7GLL in CQ Zone 5 to callsign list for United
States, K. 
* Removed K8FC in Zone 5 from country file - he's back in Zone 4. 
* Added K2G to callsign list for Guam, KH2. 
* Added KD3RF/VE2 and VA3NA/2 (both in CQ Zone 2) and VY2MGY/3 to callsign list
for Canada, VE.

Yes and no.  I failed to install the new file I downloaded before the
contest, and after working K2G and getting zero points, I deleted the Q,
installed the new file and re-logged him.  he came up right, so SOMEbody DID
do their homework.  They also put AA6TT in zone 5 which I thought was cool.

I thought the callsign K2G made sense for other reasons.  I think a shorter
callsign is always better than a longer one, and I guess the "G" stands for
"Guam."

When I'm running, I'll send your callsign (everyone recognises their own

This is a theory that sounds plausible, but doesn't hold up in
practice.  I know, because I've had 750 contest QSOs in the last
month, without giving reports, except to 4 stations who asked for
it.  None of them needed it - they all got the zone - perhaps they
just couldn't adjust to the concept of a CQWW QSO without hearing
"fini" or 5NN.

>Let's keep the signal report as a requirement.

Let's accept that RS(T) is optional in practice.  Those that want
to send it can continue as if nothing ever changes.

>And please send it next contest!

I'll gladly send 59(9) to anyone who asks for a report.

Perhaps not, because I was running most of the time, so many of them
would have known I was not sending 5NN.

I think a few others would have asked for a report, except that they
didn't have anything convenient in their keyer memories.  I use an
external keyer and paddle all the time, so it's easier for me to react
when I hear something unusual.

Yes, that's probably what happened most of the time.

>CQWW is a rate contest so any "meaningful" exchange slows things down.  
>The "599" is a sort of synchronizing sound

Yes, but I believe that's only because we all expect it.  If you
don't expect it, you won't miss it.  When I'm running and you call
me, I send your callsign - you hear it and you know the important
bit comes next.

>The RST is required on DXCC QSL cards I believe - you want those folks to lie?

No need for anyone to lie.  I've had specific confirmation from ARRL
that no signal report of any kind whatsoever is required on QSL cards
for any ARRL award.

>Tradition plays a role as well - folks are used to it.  There's nothing 
>wrong with that...

That's right, and there's nothing wrong with paper logging either.
It's just that I don't do it any more.  All I've suggested is that,
in CQWW, RST should be recognised as an optional field.  I would
prefer not to send it, but I'll gladly give 59(9) to anyone who
feels they would prefer to hear it directly from me.

But when the callers adopt your method, *you* lose the sync bit.  They send
nothing but 599XX.
Since I do a lot of running I like to hear the "599".

I'm still puzzled why someone takes so vigourous a stand on so small an
issue.

WW is what it is. A rate fest. Most people are happy with that. It's a
proven formula for success. Remember, at its core, this contest is designed
to be as fun as possible for as many people as possible. The idea is to sell
magazines, remember? (Nothing is wrong with that. All sponsorship has as its
core the promotion of the host organization.)

I can accept WW for what it is and have an absolute blast doing so. I'd
probably have just as much fun if the report was more complicated, but that
would hurt participation at the lower levels of contesting commitment: the
casual ops who may or may not send in a log but who are so important to the
high levels of participation this contest enjoys.

WW works. I have yet to see evidence that a change in this area would have
anything but negative consequences.

Don't forget that the hard-core contester is only a part of WW's market.

This just seems like a lot of effort for not a lot of issue.

If you hadn't sent your zone, they'd have had that too, since the computer
already knows it.  Except for a few contests (ARRL Sweepstakes being the shining
exception which comes to mind) all that needs to be correctly copied is your
callsign (and the cluster probably already gave them that).  The notion that
contesting is a test of operator copying skill is as transparent as the emperors

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Multi Op or  just "Control Op"
Message-ID: <3DE2FB22.1050807@gte.net>

OK ... have got a question for folks who like to interpret rules.


I have a licensed YL no-code Technician friend, who has shown some 
interest in Contesting.  I'm trying to get her to do some SSB contest 
operating from my station.  I don't have much (if any) interest in 
operating those Contests.  Since she can't operate HF without me acting 
as "control operator", if we do enter a contest, would it be as


1)  Single op (she does all the operating, logging, etc.)
2)  Multi op (I'd just do the usual "control op" functions, but not do 
any actual operating myself)


Obviously, if I assisted in any way with any operating functions, that 
would automatically make us multi-op, which I'm comfortable with.  I'm 
just curious to know, if she does all the work, and I'm just watching 
and monitoring, would that count as a "true" single op operation?

Thanks, Ron  WD4AHZ

I loaded a machine with this & experimented with TRLog.  It didn't work. 
(apparently some necessary APIs aren't implemented)

I would expect this to be a moving project though; future support is quite
possible.

Hi,

Maybe time for the Linux-guys to take over ?

Are there any contesters using Linux on this list ?

Anyone ever made some decent Linux-software for (contest-) logging ?

Emporor's New Clothes (ENC)?  My all-time favorite analogy for
"Dilbert-esque" executive directives.  However, there is no such directive,
nor is anyone trying to lead us astray.

Contesting IS a test of operator copying skill.

How can I make that assertion?  Because the evaluation of performance is
whether it's correct or not in the log.

The debate over what tools the operator should use in copying is a different
discussion.  If the operator does not use the tools available to him
properly, he may log the information incorrectly.

Just plain old making a mistake without any outside influence actually
occurs.  This phenomena leads to errors in the log.

Using what is posted on packet without confirmation is poor operating -
plain and simple.  Using what the operator determines from using
SuperCheckPartial without confirming it - is again, poor operating.  Both of
these lead to errors in the log.

You'd be amazed at how many errors actually occur in just the callsigns.
Most Uniques are believed to be errors in copying rather than true Unique
callsigns.  (Most - not all!)

Before we seek to make it more of a test, we collectively need to recognize
that we all have not even come close to mastering the "test" at this level.

And the urgency really isn't apparent to me, because up through Win98SE, 
DOS is still available and accessible at startup.  I am a lot more 
concerned about the disappearance of ISA slots and the impending ditto for 
serial and parallel ports.

Jim,

First ran DR-Dos when it was introduced as an alternative to MS-Dos.

Last week I couldn't find the MS-Dos 6.22 disks, so I downloaded the latest 
DR-Dos (ver 7.xx)  used it to run TR for the contest.

Absolutely no problem & defaulted to a dual-boot system to boot.

Adding a set of DR-Dos installation disks to my "tool kit".

Yes!  Try to find a card with a PCI slot that will do two or more RS-232
serial connections.  I think there are a few out there, but they're very
rare.

When I last tried it I couldn't get cwkeyer working.  I note a new parallel
port CW module has been written, haven't tried it yet.

Good point.  (and going to Linux doesn't fix this)  

That said, there are a LOT of parts for the current - and past - line of 
computers
kicking around.  Hams have proven awfully good at keeping obsolete equipment
going; ask any of the thousands still using TS-930s, Drake C-lines, SB-220s,
SB-102s, etc..  I expect anyone who wants to keep contesting with DOS/ISA
will be able to do so for at least another decade, if not much longer.

Does this end of support by Microsoft mean that someone can put
MS DOS 6.xx on the web page for a free download?

Finding one that does 2 serial ports using a shared IRQ is easy.  I use the
CompUSA "house brand" at home under Windows, but there are others.

However, finding one that has separate IRQs for each port is much more
difficult.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
Message-ID: <200211261248_MC3-1-1C5B-7031@compuserve.com>

I didn't hear EI5DI this weekend but if I had, I would have asked
for the RST. It's part of the exchange and, since Paul has admitted
he did not send it, sorry but I feel the entry should be penalised or 
perhaps excluded altogether.

The vast majority of reports are always going to be 599, especially
in a rate contest like CQWW. The fact that almost no-one sends
other than 599, no matter what the circumstance, can I think be blamed
on K1EA, since CT led the way with computer logging and it doesn't let 
you log anything but 599 as the sent exchange. Interestingly, when 
EI5DI was developing his SD contest logger, he added the ability to
log a sent report other than 599 at my request. That doesn't seem to 
be consistent with his campaign to get rid of RS(T) altogether.

This weekend there were three signals, all Europeans, that I found 
so disgusting I sent them a report of 595. Maybe their rigs had just 
developed a fault, but I suspect they like to use a bad note to 
clear a nice big frequency around them. I'll be manually editing 
these sent reports into the Cabrillo log. In the future I'd like to see
RSTs
(and zones) cross-checked in the CQWW contests, and it would seem
to me that if a station receives a lot of reports of a bad note, it could
be
argued their dirty signal was causing excessive QRM and this could
be grounds for penalising the entry.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Serial Parallel port cards.
Message-ID: <001801c29577$c0dde690$d3096cd8@jallen>

There are a couple of manufactures that I know of that still make them.  I
have found the Lava 2SP-PCI sets up and works well in DOS, W95, W98, and XP,
which I am using now.  As the model number implies it adds 2 Serial and 1
Parallel port using a PCI slot.  They are at www.lavalink.com

I understand that others have had good luck with www.starteck.com, I wish
that I could say the same.  Mine never did work right and I ended up
replacing it with the Lava.

I have no connection whatever with either of these outfits, other than being
a satisfied customer of one and having bad luck with the other.

73,

Message-ID: <000f01c29575$3c919000$d3096cd8@jallen>

It is not just a matter of loading the right computer data table...
truncated calls are a little confusing.  Folks get used to longer calls.  In
Canada, when I used VY1A, friends wanted to put the "J" in the call and
others not used to hearing VY1JA, expected a letter after the A...  at least
the normal 2x2 they are used to hearing.

Other Canadians using totally unusual calls like CK7Z do not have that
problem, but instead may be asked where they are. (Going back to entering
computer data... not your fault, Jim)

I find 1x1 calls confusing on first glance, and am sure that I am not the
only one.  My goodness, with a location advantage like Guam in the first
place, does anyone there NEED a 1x1 call to help with the contests?

And yet, for most, contesting is about using every tool within the rules to
get the highest possible score.  I hope the missing letter helped, Guam.
:o)

73,
J.

Hi Zack, not rare, but in the expensive category. I bought one about 3
months ago that has 4 serial outputs using 1 IRQ.

And for Pete, there are plenty of motherboards availbable which have
ISA slots. 
Try a peek at http://www.jdr.com. I've got 2 just sitting on the
shelf. Around 400 mHz with the cpu which came with it if I remember,
but posibility they could be speeded up.

Think I paid about $89 for them. Identical twins.

Here is where the boneyards come in handy. I've forgotten the name,
but I have an old
card from back when you had to have a HD and floppy controller on the
card. It also has 2 LPT ports, and 4 comm ports in ISA. All of the
above can be enabled or disabled and there are various combinations
which allow you to seperately configure the comm ports.

If anyone interested, I'll dig it out of the desk and post more.

AD1C mentions the CompUSA house brand mother board is set up for two 
Comm Ports with unique IRQs...that is nice but I want more....

What I am wondering is - were there mass produced PC's which 
automatically came with 3 or 4 comm ports?  To me those are what I wish 
every position had at my place - this is kind of a re-hash - but in the 
past we have talked about who sells cards to add the extra comm ports... 
did a manufacturer IBM/Dell/Gatway/Whoever produce four comm port 
machines with non conflicting IRQs on as contract for some industry?

With the older machines about to become un-supported my Microsoft, IF 
there was an industry that had purchased computers in bulk that had 4 
comm ports on them I would love to meet one of their Sustems guys and 
slip him a greenback or two.... undoubtedly this stuff is going to be 
replaced (if it hasn't already) and not to have to sub contract out 
adding the extra comm ports to a two port machine would be just ducky - 
I am more than content with DOS based logging software - I have not been 
sold on Windows based stuff at all - as far as I can see the DOS based 
programs do all I could ever want and I have some scores to prove that!

1 - I need a comm port to interface with the network (even when I am 
single op I have two computers running for redundancy and my ease at 
SO2R - not to mention it makes an excellent back up - the one time 
recently I did not do this the logging computer crashed and I lost the 
first night of the ARRL Ten Meter contest due to it)

2 - I need a comm port to interface with the network (ptional - can go 
LOOP network and only need one for netowrking - but it seems the LINK 
option always boots right up versus the loop where it takes work to set 
up system parameters in the autoexec files wheras I have a box full of 
null modem adaptors!)

3 - I need a comm port to interface with the packet spot sucker - this 
can be on one computer in the network since once it gets into one 
machine that info is shared through the network

4 - I need a comm port to interface with the rig - this is as far as I 
am concerned MANDATORY - if you have not automated your station yet - DO 
IT!  No more tranmistting into the wrong antenna and hosing the linear 
at ) Dark 30.  I actually switch the antennas by driving the automated 
boxes directly from the transciever so I can enjoy the switching even 
when the computer is off)

... TO ME an ideal find would be a computer like a low end Pentium 100 
some odd megaherz with 4 comm ports ready to be used.... as I mentioned 
at some positions in a multi-multi we can get by with two minimum (rig 
and network) - but I like the idea of finding a half dozen of these soon 
to be extinct puppies looking for a contest home where they only have to 
compute for a few weekends each year!

ANYONE KNOW OF AN INDUSTRY THAT USED SUCH A MACHINE (bunch of them) that 
I should look at as a possible source for "ideal" station ocmputers?

I doubt it.  In fact, I suspect if someone put any old Micro$oft software
out on the web without their permission, even something as old, "obsolete,"
and unsupported as MS DOS 6.x (let alone stuff older than that), you'd be
hearing from Micro$oft'$ legal staff.

Remember, they still "own" the software, you don't and never have.  Ever
read the license agreement?  Right -- that's a license, not a sale.

And I'm curious about that link for DR-DOS too.  CP/M lives on!

The fact that almost no-one sends other than 599, no matter what the

logging and it doesn't let you log anything but 599 as the sent exchange.

Dave,

I'm not sure how long you've been around, but I know that long before the PC 
was invented, we had "5NN T5" programmed into memory keyers sending the same 
exchange.  Never mind that the CQ Log Sheets had space for other than a 599 
report, we never sent a different one anyway.

K1EA likely recognized that no one ever sent other than 5NN, so why complicate 
things?  He certainly didn't start this revolution.

Maybe WB4VVF is to blame?  (Any other OT's remember that callsign?)

Jim,

I would suggest that you don't need 4 com ports any longer and should
consider using Ethernet instead for your CT network.  Granted, it is a bit
more trouble to set up, but once it's working, you're done.

The Ethernet card uses one interrupt, so that leaves plenty for other
activities.

So, those computers with two ports are able to handle your rig interfacing
and also connecting a TNC or some other serial device.

To run Ethernet with CT's DOS version, you need K1TTT's NETTSR program which
you can download from his website.

If you can run Windows, you can use CTWin which has built-in network
capability.  I understand several multi-ops have recently changed to using
CTWin very successfully.

N5NJ

Speak for yourself, white man.  Kemo Sabe been sending occasional 59(something
other than 9) for crappy signals, as required by the rules.  Some of those
chirpy/drifty CO signals can cover three bands during a single exchange.  :-)

As our PT5A CQ CW M/M team members return home to USA and Finland, we wish
to thank all we worked, especially those who helped contribute to our 66
countries on Top Band in the contest. An amazing feat by Jeff K1ZM, from so
very far away from everywhere, and excellent antenna construction by the
PT5A team.

And we are very proud to say that we were able to develop our score WITHOUT
the use of packet.  I guess our old ears still work and that a DX CONTEST
may still sometimes represent actual DXing.

Many thanks to our very special Brazilian hosts, Sergio PP5JR/ZX5J and Oms
PY5EG, and the great group of Brazilian ham friends there in Southern Brazil
that contributed to our mutual success, in so many ways.

In closing, most of you are probably unaware that Oms had major surgery 10
days ago, and is now recovering, very well, at home.  Many of you know Oms
personally, and the major contributions he has made to contesting, and
especially in South America.  I'm sure Oms would welcome a "get well soon
note" from any so inclined:

That's what I thought happened when you called me.

We've been using Ethernet at KC1XX for the last couple (few) years.  One 
advantage is that all computers go to a central hub, there is no daisy 
chain.  Only a computer which is temporarily off the network will miss a 
QSO -- it doesn't break the chain like a bad bulb in those old-fashioned 
string Christmas lights.  Plus the implications around serial ports is obvious.

Ethernet cards are throw-away items these days ($10 for a 10MB card).  Good 
luck finding a 2-serial port expansion card for that kind of money.

Hi Henry;

Sounds like U have a DB-1015 by the original Hy-Gain company. Designed to
stack above the 204BA 20M yagi. One of our former local CDXA members
(K2SD) had one in Charlotte, NC, and it & 204BA 10' below survived
Hurricane Hugo w/ 108 MPH winds in 1989.

Okay, that's it - I _am_ an OT... not only do I remember 'VVF, but I also have
an Accu-Keyer & an Accu-Memory somewhere in the basement of my Dad's
house back in W7.

If my recollection is correct, one could program a pause in a message of
the Accu-Memory, so inserting a non-599 report was entirely possible,
although it would force one to manually insert the RST every time.

To help ensure they don't do as well as they otherwise could?

I already had the US & zone 5 mults, so just kept tuning past K2G.

They may have worked zone 24, but they probably didn't get a VR.

Calls like K2G & K7K are taking these Yank geographically meaningless
callsigns too far...

Brett,

I think that either your feeble old memory or mine has mixed up the 
capabilities of other keyers with the accu memory.

There was an Accu-Memory II that was only available in a commercial version 
that may have had features such as this, but I don't believe that the original 
was that sophisticated.

I thought that such pauses for input were started in keyers such as the 
venerable KC Keyer and some from AEA.

I'll agree.  1x1 calls like k2g or k1b are probably not good in
contests.  There are a couple reasons, first not all contesters are
dxers who follow all the expedition lists, and second, they require a
special update of country files so that logging software knows they are
multipliers.  Trying to get the word out that some non location specific
call like that is something special takes time and is bound to miss lots
of contest participants.

I operated all weekend at PJ2T and saw K2G spotted repeatedly via
packet and it never occured me while operating there that it was
anything other than the USA (spots for KC1XX and others kept popping
up too).  So I never bothered to chase him down.  Thanks to AH2R for
making sure we didn't miss the Guam multiplier!  No mistaking
that callsign, for sure.

I have a HYGain 1015DB. While it ain't the best antenna I have on those
bands, it has worked a lot of stuff. It would probably perform better if I
didn't have it sandwiched between a 205BAS and a 402CD with only about 5
feet separating the 1015 from the two antennas above and below.

I think I have the manual someplace if you need some info.

Remember using one sometime ago on my old shack PC and it worked well. Now
all my machines are have PCI slots so these cards are just taking up space.

I just have to add this little fillip to the previous thread.

My wife was listening this a.m. to "Dr. Laura" on a local AM station. A 
10-yr-old boy called in to complain that because his mother watched Dr. 
Laura every day he couldn't do something he wanted to. Dr. Laura explained 
that his mother could not be watching her because she (Dr. Laura) only has 
a radio show. The boy insisted his mother "watched" Dr. Laura. After a 
while it became clear the boy had no idea what Dr. Laura was referring to 
when she used the word "radio" and that for him the notion of "radio" was a 
foreign concept.

I think I know what you're getting at John, however, at one point in time, the

I used to build the Accu-Keyers to sell (even sold a CMOS version), and 
also built three or four of the Accu-Memories.  If my feeble old mind 
remembers correctly, you could pause for any length of time while you 
were programming it to make a word space, and then continue.  Maybe 
that's what Brett is thinking of?
Loved to watch that digital display while it was playing back.  :-)

Kinda depended upon how many exchanges you had... if you wanted to prepare 
a 2nd exchange, you could default it to 599 while using the other exchange 
to pause for a hand-entered RST.

Over the years, I probably built 5 Accu-Keyers, 3 CMOS Accu-Keyers, and one 
Accu-Memory.  I believe that may have been the VERY FIRST keyer ever 
designed which offered automatic character spacing... a REAL boon to CW 
ops... it's successor was the KC Keyer and then the CMOS SUPER KEYER 
line... now sold by Idiom Press.

Drew White/K9CW's micromputer-based contest keyer (8748) had that feature.
You simply punched the memory keypad number to start the message and press
the appropriate 's' number on the keypad to automatically fill it in.  If no
second number is pressed, the RST goes out as 5NN.

His keyer was featured in January 1981 Ham Radio Magazine.  I built it back
then.  I used it for a number of years.  It was a great keyer.

There was definitely a follow-up project to the infamous Accu-keyer 
article that was a memory add-on.  It was also published in QST and 
used 2102 devices or something.

Not sure what it was called, but Accu-Memory sounds right.
I built one and it actually worked...for a while.

Yep.  I used to be able to recognize my friend Rag Otterstad's fist, and

not Rag in Denmark, but now again LA5HE in Norway!

And, of course, most of us can remember when a VR2 was about to send a Zone
32 from Fiji!  But there you go again, VR2 has moved to VS6 and Zone 24.

Jeez, I guess we're all just going to have to get our code readers out.  And
maybe "ask" what the country is.

Short call signs are GREAT.  I truly hope we'll hear more of them.

It would be great for you guy's in the US to re-assess your self imposed
CW/SSB barriers...  Operating split on 7028/7245 (SSB) for one QSO made me
feel uncomfortable, and while VK does not have any strict CW/SSB divisions,
operating SSB below 7030 outside contests would be a bad sport.  From our
licensing persepective, both are fully legal.

Even on 80m... our little VK 6Khz SSB slot gets busy and issues or
sportsmanship arise during contests....  It was moot this year, as my
80/160m array failed prior to CQWW SSB.   You would get many votes from VK
for opening up the US 80m SSB band down to 3650 or 3660.

The reverse VFO ID of a few US stations was a prompt to go split on 40m...
but mostly a little in cw "USA" was enough of a queue..

I sent this out to our local new hams - maybe you have a local group that would 
benefit from a little encouragement to play...

73, Ward N0AX

Hi folks,

Some of you have expressed an interest in CW and this is the weekend to 
practice it.  The annual ARRL CW Sweepstakes runs from 1 PM on Saturday to 7 PM 
Sunday evening on 80 through 10 meters (not on 30, 17, or 12-meters).  While 
you might recoil in horror at the high code speeds, tune wayyyyyyy up in the 
bands and there will be some folks going nice and slow.  The Novice bands on 
80, 40, 15, and 10 meters often have a number of slow-speed stations hanging 
out up there.  Don't be afraid to jump in there and give 'em a call.  I 
*guarantee* your code speed will double with just a few hours at the key.

Here's how it works...

1) You hear somebody calling "CQ SS CQ SS de N0AX"
2) Send your call ONCE - "W7VMI" - don't send their call and don't send yours 
twice or three times.  If they don't copy your call on the first try, they'll 
send "AGN" or "?" or just CQ again.  So call 'em again.  If they're going too 
fast, send "QRS" and they'll slow down.
3) If they hear you, they'll send something like this - "W7VMI 107 A N0AX 53 
CO"  What the heck does that mean?
    - W7VMI is your call to let you know they're talking to you
    - 107 is the number of the contact in the contest for them (their next 
contact will be 108, etc.)
    - A is their entry class (low power) - there are A, B, M, Q, S, and U 
classes
    - Then they send their call
    - 53 is the last two digits of the first year they were licensed - it's 
called a "check"
    - CO means Colorado, their ARRL Section (there are 80 - some are states, 
others aren't, all are two or three letters)
4) If you don't get it all, it's perfectly OK to send "QRS PSE, AGN" - which 
means "Slow down, send it again, please"
5) If you do get it - way to go!  Here's what you send...
    - Their call
    - The number this contact is in the contest for you - if it's your first 
send "1" and pat yourself on the back
    - Your class (QRP is Q, <150W is A, >150W is B, M is multioperator, S is a 
school club, and U is unlimited...don't ask)
    - Your call
    - The last two digits of the first year you were licensed - if you got your 
license last year, it's "01", for example
    - Your section, "WWA" for Western Washington, maybe, or "IL" for Illinois, 
or "PQ" for Province Quebec - ah, but oui!
6) If they don't get it, they may say...with a question mark, maybe...
    - "AGN" - send everything all over again
    - "NR" - repeat just the number a couple of times
    - "PREC" or just "PR" - repeat your class letter, it's called "precedence" 
for a number of reasons you don't care about
    - "CALL" - repeat your call (this is rare)
    - "CK" - repeat the two digits of the year, your check
    - "SEC" or "QTH" - repeat your section
7) They may ask YOU to QRS, you speed demon, so do it with a smile!
8) If they copy everything, they'll say a short "TU" (for thanks) or "R" (for 
Roger) or "QSL" (for received OK) and then just send their CQ or maybe just 
their call and away you both may go.
9) Sometimes, it just doesn't work out - QRM (interference) or QRN (static) or 
QSB (fading) or the cat could cough up a hairball on the rug requiring 
immediate action.  Don't take it personally, just go find somebody else to 
call.  It's a no-fault deal.
10) If you get tired of "Searching and Pouncing", then tighten your belt, mop 
your brow, cock your hat at a jaunty angle and call CQ!  It's easy - don't have 
a cow, man, just call "CQ SS CQ SS de W7VMI W7VMI" and listen, repeat if 
necessary.  Soon you'll get an answer.  Just play back the above steps with you 
as the call-ee.

What's the object?  Make as many contacts as you can.  Try to contact as many 
different sections as you can.  Try to spell your name from the last letters of 
the calls you work.  Work your home state.  Work your brother's state.  Nobody 
can stop at just one QSO...

It's a lot of fun - the hours will fly by.  Keep a simple paper log the first 
time out to make it easy - you can worry about entering it on a computer later. 
 There are complete rules and instructions for operating and scoring and 
sending in the log on the ARRL Web site 
http://www.arrl.org/contests/rules/2002/nov-sweeps-rules.html.  Come spring of 
2003, you can click on over to the contest results and wonder-of-wonders, there 
your call will be with the mighty titans in the very same font size just a few 
lines away.  Woo-hoo!!

Go for it!

Not only would you be LOUDER, but your signal would get 
there before anyone else's...a great recipe for breaking pileups!

I'm sure there are some who would go work a guy out of the band "on
purpose".  We all know the type.  But I can easily imagine that most
out-of-band operating is either ignorance or contest-induced enthusiasm.
How often do some contesters actually get on between contests and operate
near the bottom?  Even when they do, tuning PAST the bottom of the band is
*usually* marked by the sudden lack of signals.  This is not so during phone
contests as DX is waiting there more often.  Also, the bottom edges of phone
bands are not so easily remembered and they have moved over the years
whether in general or somewhat sporadically by license upgrading.  I cannot
recall the last time the defined "bottom" of a CW band moved so arbitrarily.
But enough excuses...

Certainly, the frequency data in Cabrillo could be used to nail 'em but
that's another (probably country-by-country) database that would need to be
kept up-to-date... but we do have the technology.  Cabrillo could never
squelch "Listen up" however.

"I just looked back, to see what condition my conditions was in" --Jerry
Reed

I hope the sun is nice to us northerners this weekend. The report below
kinda gives me the eeby jeebies!

------------------
From: SKY & TELESCOPE's AstroAlert for Sun-Earth Interactions

 a possibility continues to exist for
additional impressive and dynamic solar limb activity over the next few
days.
There is also a chance we may see additional major x-ray flares over the
coming week or two if the active sunspot complex responsible for this latest
X-class solar flare originated with the spot complex behind the southeast
limb. That sunspot region will gradually rotate into better view over the
next several days, while old Region 10162 will be lost behind the northwest
limb. The area of primary interest will now switch from Region 10162 on the
west limb to the new active spot complex on the southeast limb.

Associated images and movies of this dynamic activity can be found at
http://www.spacew.com/astroalert.html.

It always nice to see someone is sure there is an East Coast conspiracy...

Sections exist because of the administrative needs of the ARRL Field 
Organization and any "recent" changes (KP2/KP4, EWA/WWA, WNY/NNY, WCF/SFL) have 
taken place because hams in those areas successfully organized and presented a 
case for change.   Nothing to do with contesting.

Sweepstakes just uses Sections as multipliers.    Some are quite small (KP2 has 
62) and some very large (Ohio has 6483) but it is roughly reflective of the 
number of hams in each area.

W7GG: what "new" Section in Canada are you referring to?   I'm not aware of 
any.  The Canadian multipliers are the 8 RAC Sections VO(1+2), Maritimes 
(VE1/9+VY2), VE2-3-4-5-6-7) plus VE8/VY1/0 for a total of 9.  I think it's been 
that way a very long time.

Actually, the cabrillo file only lists the freq if you are using a computer
controlled radio.  On 40 it shows the rx frequency not the tx frequency,
(at least in my logs).

I don't like it either, but it's becoming an unfortunate fact of life.  As long
as we can listen below 7.040 (or 7.030) and keep getting answers, we'll
continue to listen there.  If we never got answers, we'd be forced to try to
work in the muck above 7.040.

Maybe WRC-03 or whatever it's called will fix 40 meters, but I'm not holding my
breath.

Well, right after WCF was created, I just jumped at the thought of an
EGA and WGA.

Called the ARRL and found out that financial considerations are a BIG
factor, plus getting someone to serve section manager, and on the
various committees. Considering the number of hams in WCF, there is
simply no justification for that section ( but I LIKE it ), and hats
off to the guys there who organized and got it done.

I believe ample justification exists for many other States. NC, AL,
IL, IN, ect.

Just please don't split up SC.

The case for West Central Florida (for example) was that the major population 
center around Tampa Bay was split between NFL and SFL, with section officials 
in Miami, for example, having to travel very long distances to serve League 
interests in the central part of the state.  Having one section in the 
area also improves ARES coordination.

I believe the case for EWA/WWA was similar - the growing population centers 
east of the coastal mountain ranges were not capable of being adequately 
served by League officials based in the Seattle area, especially in winter
storms when some of the passes close, it was affecting ARES operations.
Perhaps Oregon could make a similar argument, but for whatever reason, they
haven't yet.

Simply based upon population, STX might be a good candidate for a split.  
We have four very large population centers, two of which have been among the 
ten largest cities in the United States for decades (Houston and San Antonio,)
but on the other hand, travel and coordination between those population centers
is not geographically difficult, and most of the ARES operations are either 
very local (tornadoes) or they tend to affect the coastline as a whole
(widespread flooding, hurricanes) so from an ARES standpoint, keeping STX the
way it is might be desirable.

And how well connected they are.  It's easy to drive from one point of 
Ohio to another - to get from St. Thomas to San Juan probably requires air 
travel in most cases, which makes a good case for separate VI and PR sections.
The same case might be made about the disparate components of PAC, but either
there really aren't enough hams in KH8/KH2/etc. to warrant it, or they 
really don't care and have never presented a case for it to the League.

I'm not aware of any section having ever been created based even in part on
an argument related to Sweepstakes or other ARRL-sponsored contests (which 
use sections for award distribution purposes.)

Newfoundland used to be part of the MAR section until about five or six

Lately, I've been receiving a lot of nice comments about
the score and band summary reports. I guess, when the 
biggies come around, people notice them more. Lest I take 
too much credit, I act only a front man and Bruce WA7BNM 
is the real wizard behind the curtain - collecting data 
and providing the report templates. 

Bruce has given me back my life through the Score Collection
Web page and has allowed the contest community to continue
having these reports available through his hard work. That, 
while supporting the NCJ Webpage, his own Contest Calander page,
and making a living.

Bruce doesn't tout his own horn and probably won't like me doing
it...  

......but tough. :>)

I am sure I'll get the flamethrower from the "we have too much
damn government" multitudes that populate our fine country,
but the debacle on the 160 meter band here in the United States
has proven that U.S. hams MUST have mode sub-bands dictated by
law.  We in the U.S. just LOVE to do anything LEGAL, with the
ethical and interpersonal questions be damned.  I can assure
you that the day the FCC removes sub-band restrictions in law
from U.S. amateur allocations is the day that CW and digital
modes will meet an untimely death, worldwide.  That would go
for contesting on those modes, too.

I'll shut up now.  GL to all this weekend.

Ahh... but the software can be far more sophisticated.  If you worked 
a CQing station on 21.150 SSB, and either he is logging his freq, or 
other operators log the freq when THEY worked him, your frequency can 
be ascertained.

Remember, your movements on the band can be reconstructed in great 
measure WITHOUT your log!

Well for SS your concerns are obviously the next few days, and not the
coming week or two. So, if whatever activity does occur is going to be
confined to the limb, then it's not going to cause you too much in the
way of grief from bad effects. Other than perhaps a brief shortwave
fadeout.

Hint: If a flare does happen, then it's time to head for 10M or 15M or
take a half-hour of off time.

Don't worry, be happy. And bring it on!

For those of you wondering as to the creation of the WCF section.... It made 
sense since the center of population of the west coast of Florida was split 
between north and south as has been noted in a preivious post.  However, the 
population of the section is approximately 3,629,000 and much of the area is 
some of the fastest growing in Florida.  That number is about 25% of 
Florida's population.

One of the proponents of the new section and who worked hard for its creation 
was N4PK who became a silent key last month.  Paul was a member of the FCG 
and will be missed.  That's just a thought you should be aware of when you 
get that 80th section, courtesy of Paul, N4PK

See you in SS.

Thanks all the same, but I'd prefer that we left the Indiana section alone. 
Northern IN and Southern IN would be the only logical divisions, and I don't

Message-ID: <001301c281d0$8a322d00$1c096cd8@jallen>

The ARRL bulletin for today included this note:

"This weekend is the ARRL CW Sweepstakes, a great old domestic
contest. The beginning of the weekend may not be bad, but a solar
wind stream on Sunday could cause some problems for HF operators.
The planetary A index is expected to be 12 on Friday and Saturday,
and around 20 on Sunday and Monday. Since this is a domestic
contest, there won't be any problem with disruptions on the polar
path to Europe, but it could affect communications with Northern
Canada"

That "Northern Canada" note includes VY1, VE8, & VY0.  On Sunday, expect
one-way communications and the tendency for North-South communications to be
workable, but East-West from the north to be nearly impossible.

In the East coast, you may not hear us at all.  If you do hear VY1JA,
realize that when propagation is one-way, I will hear you louder than you
hear me (almost always).  Try, even if my signal is weak, especially in the
period around 1800-2000.  After that, I may not hear you at all under these
conditions.

This Sunday, it is very important to get the QSO when you hear it if you are
in the East Coast so I will stand by for East Coast from time to time.  In
the West, my signal is likely to be weaker than usual, but QSOs have nearly
always been possible.

Bottom line, WORK THE NORTH ON SATURDAY, preferably at the start of the
contest, before the solar storm hits, aim you beam toward KL7 and hope for
the best.

My rig is acting up again.  The Omni-V is cutting in and out. I am working
on the rig today to see if I can find this intermittent.  That type of
problem is VERY hard to locate, so wish me luck. It sounds like a parasitic
in the rig and intermittently kills reception.  When it is there it hits the
transmit side as well, and causes a sharp rise in SWR on transmit, and I am
now concerned that the high SWR is indicating that it is trying to transmit
out of band, which means immediate QRT when the intermittent occurs.

Fortunately, the intermittent has lasted a maximum of about two minutes...
so hang in there if we are in the middle of a QSO and I disappear.

Finally, I have been hit with a flu bug which has just started.  I still
plan to do my best to get YT to anyone that needs it, especially on
Saturday, considering the propagation forecast.  At this time I am unaware
of any other CW operations in Yukon, and I wish you all luck finding me.  I
will, as usual, find a clear spot at my MUF (which is lower than yours in
the south)before the contest, and work stations there waiting for the
starting gong.  That will make it easier to find Yukon.

If you are aware of any other YT/NWT/NT ops committed to this contest,
please let me know as it will ease my mind concerning my rig's behavior.

Some advantage.....Usually I and maybe one other station east of the 
Mississippi cracks the top ten SSB high power.  Uh, lets see, that's makes 80

It could get there TOO much faster. The acceleration would need to be modeled 
and the distance to the receiving station taken into account. The taper of the 
antenna element is something to pay attention to as well. Do you think we 
should let the folks at JoGunn in on this phenomenon?

Although the "West" has a bit of an advantage over the "East" in the
modern SS contest, this advantage does not extend to the "West Coast"
in this or the past decade.  There has been something of a shift in
demographics with the decline of the American automobile industry
(i.e., in Detroit) and the replacement of the midwestern family farm
with giant agribusiness.  Amateur radio contesting in the Great Lakes
region declined numerically in favor of the South and Northeast.  The
result is that a lower percentage of contesters are found within the
single hop range of the coastal California and Pacific Northwest
stations.  In the early 70's Pete Grillo (then W6RTT and then a recent
winner of the SSCW) explained the coming shift in demographics to me
(then a teenage WB6OLD and then also a recent winner of the SSCW) and
predicted that the Gulf Coast region would be the hotbed of victorious
contesters in the upcoming years.  I had trouble believing it, but it
certainly turned out to be true during the 80's and up to the present.
The Northeast, however, unquestionably has the biggest advantage in DX
contesting these days -- European ham radio being a great area of
growth.

There is no east coast advantage in SS. Look at rate charts. The big east
coasters will put up huge numbers on Saturday yet often finish far behind
the pack.

A theory I've heard is that they work the crap out of 80/75 but their rates
suffer on Sunday when all that's left are multihop paths that are less
productive. They basically run the eastern seaboard dry on Saturday and pick
up the scraps on Sunday. No flames, please, it's just a theory I've heard.

Aside from the time-tested advantages of WP3R at Arecibo, in my view there
is only one place in North America that has significant advantages over
others: Saskatchewan.

Manitoba is a close second. Why? We have optimum hops into the heart of
American amateurdom. We can work into the Indiana-NY belt like nobody's
business. And from Virginia to the Carolinas and the Gulf states, we
generally (or so we're told) are LOUD. Then we can run W6s like stink. And
when we need to, we can go into the Tech band on 10 and run Gulf Coast
Techs. From here, none of the sections are particularly "hard" to work, as
long as someone is there.

And of course the VE4 or VE5 prefix is good for several dBs. It's not quite
the gain that VY1JA gets from his prefix, but we're not as severely affected
by aurora like Jay is either.

Hops into Saskatchewan fall a little more optimally than in Manitoba, which
is why I rate VE5 higher.

But Shhh! Don't tell anybody, please.

OK - I certianly will try, Nat

Note - as I mentioned - been there done that

Mid you I will not apologize should I sweep!

K1AR also spoke of the obsession with Sweeps years ago in his 
column...and if you go far enoguh back to the 50's you will find an 
article by W1YYM about the relative value of sweeping versus QSOs... 
todays' software makes those decisions easy...

I guess part of what I was trying to say is that if you are coming the 
bands for QSOs work any new guys - don;t become obsessed with the 
Sweep...it may not even be attainable, there have been years when doing 
such was possible!

Maximize your points in the contest....don't maximize your depression 
over NOT Sweeping - imagine how you will feel if it turns out nobody was 
on from "Nebraska" (just picking one)

GL to everyone this weekend...SS is a FUN contest as well as time to say 
hi to many olde friends you may have contested with for over 30 years 
(like itis for me!)

Nat,

With all due consideration, you need to worry less about a sweep and
more about getting a call which doesn't cause us to do a mental
double-clutch when you call us in the middle of a hot run!  What the
hell were you thinking, anyhow?

Does the FCC even monitor the ham bands any more?  I haven't
heard of anybody getting a pink slip for years.  Years ago,
before I got the Extra, I got a pink slip for operating CW on
7.024.75.  Just barely into the Extra band.  Now I hear guys
operating on 14.349 and I can copy them way out of the band.

Hi Dale

Sure, and maybe we could get everyone doing that and then we
could just exchange our information on the cluster.  That way the
non-conesters wouldn't get all bent because there is a contest
going.  Heck, we wouldn't even have to turn on the radio.  Just
think, I could put my info on the cluster and everyone who got it
could put their info on the cluster and viola, new mults, lots of
Q's.  Log checking software wouldn't know the difference as long
as we coordinate times, band, etc.  Boy, I can see where packet
spotting is just going to get better and better!!  I may even
have to try it some day.

Creating an Eastern Oregon section would probably be the best thing that
ever happened to clean up VY1JA's mailbox in the weeks before SS.

Looks to me like there are far more hams in the Yukon than there are east of
Bend.

Seriously though, it does seem absurd that Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois have
never been split.  As a Wisconsin native living in Tennessee I can guarantee
you travelling the length of Illinois is not a fast and easy trip.

Growing up in NLI, that was one of those sections casual ops never got 
the first time. My current QTH in EPA is much better recognized, but I 
think it should be changed to SPA :.)

If you want to see a detailed analysis of SS have a look at Appendix 1 of "A
Novel Perspective of Amateur Radio Contesting" at
http://www.dynamicforesight.com/~ve5zx

You will have to read the rest of the article in order to understand the SS

John,

What operating system?

If its WinXP I may have the answer.  Under WinXP, if you're running a 
popular DOS-based logging program it appears that the clock runs slow if 
the CW keying is enabled.  Disable the keying, the clock runs keeps 
accurate time.

While this problem was reported running NA, I suspect that both CT and TR 
would be similarly affected.  While not wasting your time getting into the 
gory details of timer ticks and such, the problem appears to be related to 
how Microsoft emulated the DOS environment under WinXP.

If you're not running WinXP you can ignore this message.  If you are, you 
have two choices: turn off CW keying and run an external keyer, or simply 
reset the time every hour.

I thought multi-ops did not have to abide by the 24 hrs (out

I *assume* this was made in jest as NLI stands for New York
(City) and Long Island.  Nevertheless, if we need more
sections :-) why not make NLI be North Long Island, and
create SLI for South Long Island and NYC for the five
boroughs of that city.  Even better would be BR for
Brooklyn, SI for Staten Island, BX for the Bronx, QU (or
QUE) for Queens (hopefully not too confusing vie a vie PQ
for Province of Quebec [which used to be QU]) and MAN for
Manhattan (which *is* the City to those who live in the
other four boroughs, Long Island, and the rest of the [lower
portions of] New York State).

Then we can carry it out to its logical conclusion:  East
and West Oregon, North and South Nevada, East and West North
Dakota and South Dakota, ad infinitum.  We could have maybe
200~300 sections!  That would make a clean sweep a real
achievement!

John,

I found that DOS programs work really well with an XP machine only when you
split the hard drive with one of the programs for that purpose, like
"PartitionMagic" and "BootMagic" that comes with it.  I used my old DOS from
Windows 95.

TR LOVES it and because I stored all of the data on a third "drive" which
PartitionMagic made, I can access all of the contest data from XP.  XP does
not see the DOS drive and DOS does not see the XP drive, but both see the
third "data" drive.

Clock works fine.

Ah, because the "N" in "NLI" doesn't stand for "North,"  since the full name
of the section is New York City - Long Island, and NLI is shorter than
NYCLI?

Now the real question I want to know is, what section is the island of
Moosylvania in this year?  Assuming it hasn't sunk again.

Good News:
The Omni-V is working perfectly this morning.

Bad News:
Ol' Murph may just be having the rig hold out till the rate is high.  I did
not find the problem, but left the rig on all last night and it seems well
this morning.

When this contest is over, I hope that someone that is sharp with PLLs will
talk me through this Omni-V repair, via the internet.

Favorite spots:
Frequencies that end with 27, or 37, but that only works at the start of the
contest and once in a while during it.  How often can anyone find the exact
frequency they want clear in SS???

Great News:
Conditions are super here today, so I may be able to start on 10, but
remember that my MUF is lower than yours down south, so watch for me on 15
if 10 does not open here.  I am on 21027, listening to Jerry, K6III work EU,

You need to do more research. By counties, Long Island is separated into east 
and west. The Boroughs of NY are Kings, Queens, Richmond, New York, Bronx.

NAQP mult-ops do not have to abide by the "10 out of 12" rule.

SS multi-ops do indeed have to abide by the "24 out of 30" rule.  It seems 
silly to me to require multi-ops take off time.  As a representative on the 
CAC, I've suggested a rule change in this regard but there does not seem to 
be much support.

Jeepers, guys.

It was a joke.  I lived on LI for 30 years. I know what NLI stands for.
Besides, if "Northern LI" existed, and there wasn't any SLI and NYC what
would all the guys living there do for a section?

I didn't think it was all that subtle.  Y'all must not be thinking clearly,
what, with all the pre-SS jitters!  ;-)

(Yes that was another joke)

No, it's not the battery.

The battery only runs the CMOS real-time clock - this is
a device that runs all the time that maintains time when the PC is off.
(In the good ol' days of PCs, this device was not necessarily installed and
one needed to enter the time at boot up.  Remember that?) The time gets
read from this device once at boot-up, and is maintained by the OS
afterwards.  It's important to realize that the OS maintains this time, NOT
the CMOS device.  The CMOS device only gets talked to again when you
reboot or you enter a time change.  A good test (to
prove me right or wrong) would be to turn the machine off (after it's been
running a while - say an hour - with a noticeable - you say 5 mins - time
error) then turn it back on.  If the time is still in error, then I'm all
wet.
But if it operates as I suspect, the time will be correct; then it is clear
that something ELSE is the trouble.

So with that out of the way, are you running NA in a DOS window behind
Windows?  There's probably some Windows application running that screws
up the clock.  Maybe something recently installed (even without your
knowing...)
Check the task manager, system tray, etc. for stuff running.

Another good reason to NOT run in a window...

That would be an interesting experiment, Dave, to see if
the extra 6 hours would push any of the multi-ops scores
ahead of the top single op scores which the M/O's
traditionally trail behind. I'm game.

Hi,

Can anyone explain why the M/Os always seem to lag?

Let's for the sake of argument eliminate the "Let's Elmer the newbies"
efforts and look at Top 10 in the class. Surely in Top 10 there are serious
efforts like the WP2Z SS Phone team last year. Why does M/O not work?

Is it a distraction thing? Too many cooks? Is it a duplicate contact thing?
(I'm thinking that perhaps dupe screening takes longer since in single op
you've worked everyone and can more easily recognize a call that's been
worked before.) Is there, perhaps like in U, too much time spent chasing
mults instead of living by K0HB's maxim "mults happen?"

I'm interested in this mainly as research for my QST article on SS Phone
results.

Thanks, and 73,
kelly

Message-ID: <F165rY6FDsQO8qPLlxw000016c4@hotmail.com>

I was curious as to what the numbers were, so I went to QRZ.com and looked 
at the ham population by state.  These were the numbers I got supposedly 
accurate up to 02 Nov for the top ten states:

1  CA  93853
2  TX  39385
3  FL  37162
4  NY  29862
5  OH  28179
6  PA  22845
7  WA  22779
8  IL  21344
9  MI  19916
10 NC  17409

And this is a list of the number of sections in each state:

1  CA  9
2  TX  3
3  FL  3
4  NY  4
5  OH  1
6  PA  2
7  WA  2
8  IL  1
9  MI  1
10 NC  1

Why does MA have 2 sections when it has a total of 13516 hams there?  Ohio 
has over twice the number of hams, but only has one section?  I am quite 
confused here.  Am I wrong in thinking that a section is based on the number 
of hams in it?  Or is it by the number of ARRL members in the state?  Seems 
to me that OH, IL, and MI should be broken down into 2 sections each - the 
number of hams are there to justify it.

Which leads me to the following question... How does one go about getting 
the ARRL to create new sections?  What is the proceedure that you have to go 
thru to get the ball rolling?  Or would it be a waste of time and energy?

The NYC Borough names given by K5RC are actually the county names.  The
county names are only important as regards court system administration and
for the entry on your tax return (and for county hunters).  Here is the
translation between Borough names and County names (both are official):

Borough of Manhattan:            New York County
Borough of the Bronx:             Bronx County
Borough of Brooklyn:              Kings County
Borough of Queens:                 Queens County
Borough of Staten Island:        Richmond County

The former Borough of Richmond (located geographically on Staten Island) was
renamed the Borough of Staten Island in 1975.  It has always been Richmond
County as well, at least since well before NYC Unification in 1898.  To find
a Borough of Richmond, you must go to London.

The Bronx is named for Jonas Bronck, a Swedish seafarer by way of the
Netherlands, who settled in the Bronx in 1639.  There was a "Bronck's River"
well before a name was needed for the entire area; the use of "the" is a
remnant of the connection with the name of the river.  The Bronx is ALWAYS
referred to with "the".

The ARRL Section "NLI" consists of seven counties: New York City, plus
Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island.  Long Island is 118 miles long;
the furthest point, Montauk Point, is almost directly south of the
Connecticut-Rhode Island border.  Many residents of the eastern part of
Suffolk County have been agitating for years to secede from Suffolk County
and form a new county, which would probably be called Peconic County and
would be the 63rd county in New York State.

Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties, plus Queens and Brooklyn) is
NA-026 for the IOTA program.  Manhattan and Staten Islands do not meet the
IOTA qualifications for "islands".  The Bronx is geographically part of the
mainland.

Clear Day
Nov. 2, 2002


It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Dan Robbins - KL7Y. On 
Oct. 31, 2002 Dan was in a motorcyle accident on the Big Island of Hawaii - and 
did not survive his injuries.

Dan has always been like a part of my famliy - we lived close to each other, 
and would help each other often. I am still in shock, as well as many other 
friends are over this.

Dan was just finished with the CQWW contest at KH7R, I am sure many of you had 
worked him during that time. He was in a place that he loved, doing what he 
loved, and had the pleasure to visit with many of his friends at the contest 
station. I am sure they are all gratefull of that time together.

We will all miss that familiar voice, and fist of KL7Y, his sense of humor, and 
his knowledge. We have spent so much time working on towers together, repairing 
amp's,  cutting phasing lines, enjoying famliy cookouts, and holidays. I don't 
think I will ever find a better friend.

I know we all have fond memories of Dan, so he will live on in our minds and 
hearts.

I spent many days being his ground man while he did tower work, looking up for 
hours to assist him. Dan, I am still looking up.....

73 for now old friend,

p.s. - If anyone would like to send a card or a letter to Dan's mother, please 
send to this address:

There are a finite number of individuals that could be considered
"icons" of radiosport and without exaggeration or embezzlement, KL7Y was
one of them.

I remember the first time I worked Dan, many years ago during a DX
contest. I remember thinking to myself, "Hmm, KL7-*Yankee*, he must
really be an OM to have a call like that." Since then, I have been able
to work him everytime I heard him on. While we worked many times over
the years, one QSO sticks out. The summer before this past I was making
skeds to finish up my 5BWAS award and in response to my e-mail request,
Dan, who did not even know me personally, agreed to a QSO on 80m. Our
sked was in August (a tough month for the low bands in AK given the
limited darkness) at well after midnight AK time, and according to Dan,
he stayed up late just for our QSO. The QSO was not easy, but we made it
anyway and Dan was even kind enough to stick around a few extra minutes
to work my Dad, N3FX.

Not long afterwards, the QSL card for the contact arrived in the mail. I
received many of Dan's QSLs over the years, yet every time I was
continually in awe of their uncanny beauty: each depicted a picturesque,
snow-laden slice of the hilly, serene Alaskan wilderness with "KL7Y"
boldly printed in the corner. I never sent KL7Y a QSL card in which he
did not respond punctually. Despite the fact that has was probably
inundated with QSLs from his many operations (many of them
multi-something), he always sent one upon request, and there are few
greater signs of altruism in contesting than a major station who QSLs
100% with all deliberate speed. His QSL ethics were of the rare variety
these days; I could name several stations subscribed to this reflector
whose ethics lag in comparison.

The news of his death came suddenly, I read about it only a few days ago
on the PVRC reflector, but his impact on ham radio and contesting will
not soon be forgotten. Although his key may now be silent, his signal is
not, and I consider myself privileged to have known and worked him.
Although that familiar "Kilo Lima Seven Yankee" will no longer enter the
Heil headset and illuminate the s-meter when I point the beam up towards
Alaska, I know he'll always be there. To Dan's family, I send my
condolences for your loss and my wishes of strength for the future, and
to Dan, thanks so much for the QSOs and for your kindness and I'll catch
up with you on 3830 when the contest of my life reaches 2400z as well.

I thought NYC was created in 1899.  Otherwise, no issues.  I
was born and raised in NYC (Queens) but left in 1975.

There's lots of people wanting to secede.  Folks in western
Kansas want to be part of Colorado; NYC wants to be a state
unto itself so its taxes will stay in the city and not go to
Albany; Staten Island wants to be part of NJ.  Connecticut
claimed part of Pennsylvania until the early 1800's!

Oh, well.

I will always remember Halloween 2002.

My father, KL7FH, called me on the phone and told me the bad news.  At first
I was in shock, and then I was in denial.  After that, I was extremely
sad... and then denial kicked in again.

KL7Y was my contesting Elmer.  I don't think I would have gotten into
contesting so much if it wasn't for him.  He invited me up to his fantastic
station for a CQWW CW M/M when I was 13.  I didn't really know what to
expect, but I had fun, and I was hooked.  I was there for almost every
multi-op afterwards, and even a single op or two.  I can remember sitting up
in the middle of the night with Dan milking 20 meters and the low bands, and
waiting for 10 to open up over the pole.  Now that I think back... those
were "the good old days."  I didn't know Dan as long as some of the other
regulars like WL7E, or KL2A (ex NL7GP), but it feels like I knew him longer
than 7 or 8 years.

Dan was absolutely one of the nicest people on the planet.  He was extremely
generous with his station, and with his expertise.  A contest at KL7Y was
never bad, no matter how bad the conditions were.  It was great to sit down
and pick his brain about things.  "Where do I point the antenna now?"  "Is
it better to concentrate on DX now, or should I run states?"  It may not
seem like much, but it meant a lot to a youngster full of enthusiasm.  Dan
was always right there, showing me what to do, and giving me tips on how to
do better.  I feel like I was always asking him questions, and asking his
opinion.  When we weren't operating, I was listening to his great stories of
contests past.  Anyone who has met Dan knows what I am talking about.

He was a joy to operate with, and a great person to just hang out with.  A
great leader at the Multi-ops, who welcomed everyone.  I really can't put
words to how much we all miss Dan already.  He loved contesting, and his
enthusiasm rubbed off on everyone who was around him.  Not hearing the KL7Y
station on for SS this weekend was very sad.  Hopefully I can muster up the
motivation to do CQWW CW.... things will just never be the same.

I will always remember Dan and the great times I had with him.
Halloween 2002 was the end of an era.

I've heard that California has wanted to secede.  Having spent some time
in Los Angeles, I can't figure out if it's another country or another
planet.  Cruise down Hollywood Boulevard on a Saturday evening some time
...

BTW, East Central Illinois is probably the only place where you can visit

Sunday??? afternoon to level our yard and I had to be with him.

An unusual number of people did not listen to the pileup and asked me to
stop and give them the QSO number, Check or Section and hold up the pileup
instead of them just listening.

I feel that they should get it from the next exchange, or better yet, have
the information typed into their logger by listening to the previous QSO and
just have the number ready in case I call them.

This SS was a very maddening experience and many of you almost lost out to
frustration.  I was ready to give the Omni-V the 18 wheeler instruction set.
If all of the wheels that are in a row on the left side roll over the rig,
it is sure to remember how it made me feel.  One of these days...  (Chen,
don't worry, I'd send it back to you instead)

Many station ops did not listen to my requests.  I stood by for QRP, usually
near the half past window and had M, U, A, and B give me calls, and it was
amazing how many people who hear my request for 8A? understand it to be
their call which has neither an 8 nor an A in it.

Some of the callers have, over the years, become my good friends.  It puts
me in a dilemma when I have to embarrass you in front of the whole pileup.
I do not know how to handle these things without causing someone upset.  I
have an enormous amount of gratitude for what everyone has done for me, and
still must manage the pileups.

I am normally much more patient, but with the illness, and the rest of the
things I was fighting, it was very difficult for me.

For those I was rude to, I apologize, for those that I helped, you are
welcome.

Thank you for the bandwidth and understanding.

Some friends remember:


Nov. 2, 2002

It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Dan Robbins - KL7Y. On
Oct. 31, 2002 Dan was in a motorcycle accident on the Big Island of Hawaii -
and did not survive his injuries.

Dan has always been like a part of my family - we lived close to each other,
and would help each other often. I am still in shock, as well as many other
friends are over this.

Dan was just finished with the CQWW contest at KH7R, I am sure many of you
had worked him during that time. He was in a place that he loved, doing what
he loved, and had the pleasure to visit with many of his friends at the
contest station. I am sure they are all grateful of that time together.

We will all miss that familiar voice, and fist of KL7Y, his sense of humor,
and his knowledge. We have spent so much time working on towers together,
repairing amp's,  cutting phasing lines, enjoying family cookouts, and
holidays. I don't think I will ever find a better friend.

I know we all have fond memories of Dan, so he will live on in our minds and
hearts.

I spent many days being his ground man while he did tower work, looking up
for hours to assist him. Dan, I am still looking up.....

73 for now old friend,

******************

Dan was vacationing in Hawaii. He loved to come here, participate in a
contest from KH7R (in shorts and no shirt - no less, something he certainly
couldn't do at home) and spend some time on the other beautiful islands.
This time was no exception. After a great effort at KH7R, contesting stories
in the off hours and several meals off the "barbee", Dan traveled to the Big
Island of Hawaii to visit others and relax. As he worked for Raytheon, he
decided to visit one of their sites located there. He told his boss on the
phone that he was going to rent a motorcycle and see the crew.  Apparently,
he was on the way back over the winding S-curves of the upper highway
between Waimea and Kona. I presume Dan may have been traveling in the clouds
or possibly patches of rain at those heights. I can only conclude that
unfamiliarity with the equipment, road and conditions added up to a
disastrous combination. He was not wearing a helmet.

We who knew him and enjoyed this last opportunity to radio contest with him
are still in shock. Surely it couldn't happen to him! Dan was always the
friendly and helpful guy. With great knowledge of running a Multi-Multi
effort from his own station in relatively rare Zone 1. We all benefited from
his presence and contributions. I had the opportunity to visit him and stay
at his house / station on a hill in Wasilla, Alaska. His station showed the
typical simplicity and ingenuity that amateur's show when "home-brewing" a
large
station without spending a fortune. I loved his concept of mowing the tall
grass around his towers...flatten them with his pickup when he turns around.
Hey, it worked. From his inverted Rubbermaid tub to cover some switching
arrangements to his old mobile van outside the house (the one with more
growing in it than in his driveway), Dan's cedar home 'spoke'  ALASKA the
last frontier of our country.

With his white hair and mustache he always looked the part of his well-loved
demeanor, the friendly and kind gentleman. I am sure that the many people
who knew him, had the opportunity to work him and operate with him will
agree. Though I never envied him working on his towers (brrrrr - cold)
compared to the weather at KH7R, I wish I had been able to spend more time
getting to know him better in his element.

Dan, whatever station you're going to operate from up there...I hope it has
the beauty of the Northern Lights, the balmy weather of Hawaii, the
propagation of the Caribbean or HC8 (that we both long for) and all the
'rate' you can handle. We will all miss you for you left us far too soon.
Don't forget to talk to us on 80 and 160 when it seems only KL7Y and KH7R
are on in the Pacific in the middle of the night (we need to keep each other
awake). Safe journey.

Aloha, 73  Kimo Chun, KH7U (one of the gang at KH7R)

**********

My very long time best friend, Dan KL7Y

     I have spoken with Dan's family and asked permission to post the
following information. I have offered to handle any email condolences
regarding Dan KL7Y. I will take them with me to Illinois for the funeral to
give them to his family and long time girl friend. The information is listed
at the bottom. Please pass this to the different reflectors Dan may have
been on.
     I had the very great honor and privilege of knowing and contesting with
Dan from 1979 until his last contest at the KH7R station last week. I recall
looking over at Dan on the 20m station during our last contest together
while he was working EU late at night. He gave me the 'thumbs up' as he
always did from his home station every time. He was having fun. When he left
the KH7R station headed for Kona I told him 'see you next month.' To my
great sorrow this will be my last trip to see my friend Dan.
     This is a great loss to the contesting community, ham radio, and the
lives of many. To those of you who have expressed condolences and inquired
about the services, I say thank you. There are no words that can describe
Dan. But I believe the post from John WA2GO sums Dan up eloquently and
concisely. John is one of the KL7Y contest group who also went to Hawaii for
Dan's last contest.

Yo,
A kinder, more generous gentleman you will not find anywhere. Dan was
Alaska's amateur radio ambassador to the world, was a great elmer, a great
technician, a first class operator, and a touchingly benevolent person. He
happily shared his station and his skills with anyone who wished to be
blessed with his company. He had no secrets, no skeletons, no "bad" side. I
loved that guy, and I will miss him for the rest of my life. He will live on
as an inspiration to anyone who knew him.

73 Danno,

John
WA2GO

Dan was a levi and tshirt kind of guy. The family will be burying him in his
favorite attire. Anyone who can attend the services please know that casual
attire is appropriate.

73,
Joe - WL7E

I was on an Air Force trip to Anchorage in 1993 and called Dan about the 
possibility of joining him for CWSS.  He was delighted to have me join Jon 
NL7GP (now KL2A) and him for the contest.

When I arrived at his place, he and Jon had just finished the tower work, 
performed in subzero weather.  I found Dan to be a unique individual -- a 
tough and determined competitor, but also a warm and gregarious person.

I was overwhelmed by his generosity as he opened his station to this complete 
stranger.  Alaska nights provide long hours with little to do when conditions 
are bad.  
Dan filled the hours with laughter and war stories about his contesting 
experience.

Dan's station reflected his commitment to the hobby.  I hope that somehow 
there will be someone to fill the huge pair of shoes that Dan leaves behind.  
He is a true contesting legend and an exemplary contesting mentor.

Thank you, Dan, we will all miss you.

Paul R. Schaffenberger, K5AF

I agree with Pete, N4ZR, and think that no one was being malicious, but just
aggressive because of an overly large desire to get that mug.

What I do not understand is how THAT contest turns some of my good friends
into Mr.Hyde's.  SS is the only one that does it.

Say, perhaps the idea of increasing the sections will do it.  If each
section has the same population as Yukon, 30,000... 300,000,000 divided by
30,000... that would make it about 10,000 sections... That is the answer!  I
hope ARRL is reading cq-contest, just imagine how much paperwork it will
save not having to order mugs.

Please remember in the phone SS contest to treat VY1MB well, as I do not
want him discouraged... He has become a reliable source to draw on for YT
multipliers.

To all of the contesting community, thanks for your friendship.

J.

Message-ID: <001a01c28413$a81fda20$357ef3d8@n7df>

J., I suggest you encourage him to go split, and announce it every 
QSO.  "Up 5" only takes a tenth of a second, and nobody will begrudge him 
the spectrum space.

You should get a coffee urn for working 30000 sections.  Along that line I 
always thought a great contest would be on in which you worked zip codes for 
multipliers. Final score is zips time qsos.  What say?

I've been working with a local fella on getting into "contesting."
Everybody needs an elmer, so it seems.  After much encouragement and proding
on my part, he gave it a go on CW during SS.  Below you will find his
comments.  I've scrubbed his name to eliminate any embarassment.  Comments?

WHOA!  Bad precedent.

Should each operator who considers their section "rare" be allowed to
consume at least twice as much spectrum as everyone else?  How about
KL7__, WB0O, W0SD, VO1__, VE4__, K2NNY, etc?

Just be careful of who is on the frequency you're listening on if you go
split. There was an interesting situation Saturday evening in the CW SS
when the 3XY7 DXpedition showed up working split on 40 CW.  He
developed quite a pileup so I guess there were a lot of DXers not
participating in the contest, or some contesters decided to take a little
break and work a new one. 

I listened for a bit; there were stations working the contest on his
listening frequency who tried to work the stations calling the DX.
It was "interesting".

Sounds like fun.

To be sure the east coast retains their usual contest advantages (not my
view, but the view expressed by others in other threads), let's make the
final score the sum of zip codes worked.

Hi Bill,

Now, that sounds like fun.  Just as long as no one "goes postal".  :-)

I wonder whatever happened to the Frostbite Falls Beach Party, which took 
place in the winter? The exchange was the outside temperature and entered
into the scoring.

My QRSs got ignored too. Gave up on that after about 5 times.
No one had to tell me to leave though. I was already gone.

What's with the 30++ wpm code? Does it really help rate?

Comments?

By and large all of us will QRS to help a newbie get a contact, but in
all honesty we may not slow down as much as we think.  In most contests,
especially during 'peak' hours, I run my CW at 32WPM.  I temper that a
little in SS, generally running at 28WPM.  When I get a slooowwww call
from KG6XXX I'll drop down to 20WPM.  To me that speed is glacially slow
and I can just feel my queue of waiting callers evaporate, but in
reality it's STILL possibly 400% too fast for KG6XXX.

Radiosport contesting is a COMPETITION just like golf tournaments,
football games, and NASCAR races.  If you want to play in the Masters
with Tiger Woods, the Super Bowl with Joe Montana, or race Mark Martin
in the Winston 400, you will probably first need to gain some basic
skills in a less competitive environment.  If you don't, someone might
slow down and tell you to "go awy".

Sorry your friend was offended, but perhaps we shouldn't drag people to
the big dance until they've been 'elmered' in a quieter venue.

Unsportsmanlike?  Unspeakable is a better word.  W4KFC usually worked the SS
(at least the last day) at about 20 WPM.  "Go awy" is limiting the number of
contacts that can be made by not slowing down.  Who knows the station that
goes away might be South Dakota, Mississippi, or VY0.  There is NO ROOM in
contesting for the rude operators.  Why don't these guys go to 2 meters and
interfere with repeaters or something?

This guy has got to be a crackpot!!!

Considering how qso's become hard to find on the second day of SS,  I can't
imagine anyone telling him to go away UNLESS he sent his call over and over
and over.  Then I send the report and he again sends call over and over and
I QRS and give entire report and he gives his call over and over and over
and I slow down even more and give the whole report (slow so that it means
I've taken a couple of minutes just to send one report) and he still acts
like he can't figure out his name.  THEN I'd tell him to go away!  I didn't
work anyone like this,  but there has to be more to his story!

Were we were all born sending 45 wpm with a silver key in our fists?  I think 
not!

Just consider - if a 10 wpm QSO takes six times as long as usual to complete, 
it might displace 20 or 30 of those marvelously productive "CQ SS" we all sent 
about, oh, three thousand times on Sunday with no response whatsoever.  On the 
other hand, the potential for THOUSANDS of CW contacts has now been effectively 
removed from the contest community.

Yes, I fidgeted through a dozen or so really S-L-O-W contacts, but I didn't 
lose my frequency.  One was a needed multiplier from the Midwest.  On two, 
somebody sent "?" over the QSO, but I was able to send "AS" right back at 35 
wpm and never missed a beat.  I would have loved to have more slow folks call 
in on Sunday when the bands were full of CQ machines (mine included).

Please - choke down the adrenaline just a tad and get some perspective on what 
it must be like to try to enter our sacred CW lovefests.  You, too, were once 
slow and poked along at 13.001 wpm.  But it didn't kill the Gods of Contesting 
to slow down for your one measly QSO filled with errors and repeats.

There is nearly always room in the contest for the new, the old, the casual.  
It's not the Olympics.

A certain level of proficiency is required even to get your feet wet,
apparently he has not yet reached that. Perhaps it would be better to assist
him in improving his CW skills first.

I've operated the CW SS for several years from N5XU multi-ops, and it's
about the only CW contest operating I do all year, aside from occasional 
CW QSOs in the VHF contests or hunting states in the ARRL 160.  I can 
go pretty comfortably at 17WPM now, but beyond that I get into trouble.

My experience is that trying to S&P is a complete waste of time.  The 
exchange is so long that the amount of time necessary to try to copy
enough bits and pieces to make the whole thing and have any hope of 
getting the serial number right is too much.  So, I always climb way up 
to the top of the band and call CQ at 15WPM or 16WPM.

My experience calling CQ at 15 or 16 WPM in the CW Sweepstakes is that 
almost nobody will slow down to meet my speed.  Usually, I'm facing CW going
at over 20WPM, and at best someone will come down to 18WPM or so.  This 
year, I made very few QSOs because I had too much else going on over the 
weekend, but I had one station call me at well over 30WPM.  I called CQ again.
Again, he sends his call at well over 30WPM.  We did this THREE TIMES before 
he gave up.  I had but one station answer my CQ at my own speed, and it was
the one station I didn't need to ask for a fill on the exchange.

I've done this for several years now, made several hundred QSOs in total, 
enough to know that this year is no fluke.  CW contesters in the Sweepstakes 
will generally speaking not QRS, and when they do, they will not QRS all 
the way down to match your speed if you're going under 20WPM.  They will not 
do this even if you are the one calling CQ and setting the expected speed.  
They will not do this even if you are the one calling CQ and you explicitly 
asked them to QRS.

Other contests may be less like this.  The ARRL 160 Contest, for example, 
I think is quite different.  But CW SS is not a good contest for a QRS CW 
operator - it is quite hostile.

I know what you mean, Don.

I tend to send at around 29-31 unless asked to slow down (happened once this
weekend) or I feel the station calling me at a slower speed needs the slower
speed.

I ran a little test here using this exchange at different speeds:

K5RC 733 Q KG5U 59 STX

15wpm = 18s
20wpm = 14s
25wpm = 12s
30wpm = 10s
35wpm = 8s

While there's not much time difference between sending the exchange at 30
and 25 wpm's, it sure does seem like 25wpm takes forever by listening
comparison.

If I sent every exchange at 25 wpm rather than 30 wpm, that 2 second
difference would really add up over the number of QSO's made during the
contest: 2 * 773 = 1546 seconds = 25.8 minutes.

If a station averages a QSO rate of 60 QSO's an hour (one a minute) during
the contest (not me!), that's 26 QSO's.

There have been placques awarded and top-ten box appearances missed based on
smaller QSO differences than that.

All one needs to do is ask me to QRS and I will.

Maybe that was the Gent's problem - his key is "in the box" way too often... 
Can't expect to drop a rookie in the Indy 500 & do well, without many, many 
practice laps to get them up to speed.
Same thing in this instance. Sorry if he felt that way...
I'm not even sure if I can QRS to "low-code" anymore. By the time I sent to 
the end of a word, I'd forget where I was!

I on the other hand completely agree with the lack of QRS. Not any
specific person, but it was plentiful. I don't see much logic in late
Sunday S&M going like a bat out of hell! 

On the other hand, that W5 I worked with a bug had such a swing to it

So, how do you add up the zip codes?

:)

In all seriousness, there WAS an actual ZIP CODE CONTEST when I was first
prowling the pages of QST for operating events in the early 70s.  I operated
it.  I probably have a certificate around here somewhere.  I don't recall
how it was scored.

Wish I knew who this pea-brain was that said "go awy"!  I had the "alt-v" on 
NA set for 22wpm, instead of usual 32. I had several guys call in very slow,  
& made use of the alt-v for them. I know they were tickled to make a Q, & I 
was very happy for them to call!  Takes all kind ,I guess. Just shooting 
ourselves in the foot!

I'm sorry there are a few jerks out there, but really don't think that was 
representative.  I didn't hear anything like that, and heard a number of 
big dogs slowed down to 13 WPM.  I also didn't have a single station ask me 
to QRS, though a few obviously had trouble copying till I slowed 'way 
down.  I was glad to.

My best advice for a new guy would be to wait till Sunday afternoon, when 
everyone has slowed down, and people are fishing on the high end of the 
bands.  It's much more rewarding and less intimidating than the first few 
hours.  The designated slow zones high in the bands also aren't so crowded 
as on Saturday night, when the mob spreads far up the band.

Whoever did that is an embarrassment to our sport.  Shame.

I suppose it's possible Ford's new CW-op apprentice who apparently just took
his key out of the box because he said "I stuck my key back in the box",
might not have copied the code well enough, and may not have been told "go
awy."

But my wife says I am an eternal optimist.

That's unfortunate...

However, it's hard to use a large CW contest like SS to start learning 
Morse code at speed.

That said, he should have done a few things:
1) Go very high in the band and answer slow stations or call CQ at your 
own rate.
2) Send at a rate no faster than what you expect the other station to send 
back to you.  The station you are calling should slow down to match your 
speed (to a large extent) if they answer you. 
3) If that doesnt work for you, dont bother copying the exchange (and dont 
submit a log).  Get the callsign before you call, try to copy what you can 
and then send your exchange back promptly  when it's time.  (Of course, 
this wont help SMC if that's the goal ;} )

If all else fails, wait til Sunday afternoon during the football games and 
almost anyone will slow down to work a new Q!

FWIW, I've been conscious of this code-speed thing for years.  I was 
surprised that most folks were at 32 or below, even on Saturday night.  I 
spent Saturday at a base speed of 29, and Sunday mostly at 26.  QRSed a lot 
without being asked, which is a good thing, because I never was asked, even 
though some guys couldn't copy at my base speed.

Thats how you improve- by working the contest! I'm no speed demon and simply
didnt work guys who wouldnt slow down- Happily, I found most did- and noting the
calls, they are the higher scorers- In 2 instances, the running station I called
slowed down to below 5 WPM to make a point- He lost my Q and wasted time-
Now, I'm good to around 30WPM,  but some of the stations were running crazy
speeds- and ironically, they were NOT the normal high scorers.
Dont blame the victim here- either slow down to the callers pace or lose the Q.
FWIW-

Evidently you had reached a level of proficiency that made that possible.
Just having ordinary (non contest) QSOs is another method of increasing CW
profiency. How about a guy who is just at the stage of learning the alphabet
in terms of dits and dahs, by your arguement he too should be using contests
to improve.

I think just about everyone would slow down for someone if they asked, 
especially Sunday afternoon.  But I wonder, how many would slow down to 5 
WPM?  Remember, that is the code speeed of the newbies...even newbie extras.

The exchange of KG4XYZ Nr 1234 B K4XS 62 WCF would take about 50 seconds and 
the return exchange would take another 50 seconds to receive....almost two 
minutes, if no repeats were required.  Honestly, how many of the big guns 
would do that in the first hour of the contest when they are running a 100 
hour?  Whatdya think?

While I know that newbies can be overwhelmed by
the 'speed merchants' on contests.. I have just
one observation to make..

I wonder if, in the future, that when we ELMER a
newbie (or an 'oldbie' that has been away from
the game for a while) into the contesting fold
that we have him/her either sit WITH us as we
operate so we can help themovercome such
occassionas as this new guy experienced OR we can
jump into hold their hand until they get thier
'Contest legs'.

Just a thought. I'm not saying what was done was
wrong, I wasn't there and I don't know the guy or
his situation.. but I, personally, have always
had a newbie/oldbie sit alongside me or some
other experienced hand to get their feet wet and
get over the jitters.

Just a thought.

Sort of like getting your feet wet on your first DXpedition by going to
Heard Island?

I'd really like to go on a DXpedition some day, but I think I'll get some
experience by going somewhere like Antigua, Bahamas or St. Kitts.  Perhaps
a new contester could get his code speed up by participating in smaller
contests.

Then again, it's attitude that counts ... if you really want to learn
something, you ignore the setbacks.

For SS Phone, how about working split transmitting just below the US phone
band on 10, 15 and 20 and listening up. Yeah, a little unorthodox, and the
pileup won't be that big because not many will find you there, but that's
the idea isn't it.

Interesting chart Dale.

I tend to slow down quite a bit if the station calling has a long
unrecognized call or if they are sending slowly. That is sometimes, but not
always. Nobody asked me to QRS.  Some of those 30 and 40 check guys using
chirpy breadboard rigs and bugs can't send past 20 words a minute, but they
can copy upwards of 50 I'd venture to say. As Jay eluded to, in S&P mode in
every contest but the Sprint, you can listen prior to as well as after
making a "contact" to see if you got the right info. That may not be the way
it's supposed to be done, but we've all done it on occasion. That's why the
sprints are the true test of operating ability, there's no sandbagging, but
the reason I like SS is that it has everything.

*You get the rate of Saturday (great fun)
*You have the intrigue of wondering whether to run or search for mults early
on
*It has a fixed number of mults equalizing the battle field somewhat
*It tests your perseverence on Sunday
*It allows anyone from anywhere who enters the game late to taste the frenzy
of a mondo pileup without going on a DXpedition. (We should market this
'fresh meat' appeal of sweepstakes by taking out Sunday tv adverts to be run
during halftimes of the ballgames--does anybody on here work for the brewing
industry?).
*and about a buzillion other aspects of ss


It always seems uncanny how fast the code sounds after QRSing down to around
20wpm and then ramping back up to 30+wpm. Likewise, going from 36 wpm (after
milking a ten deep pile dry) and dropping down to 30 wpm makes the 30wpm
seem like trying to run in a swimming pool--it's sloooowww. I guess that's
why N0AX in his email of last week suggested that newcomers code speeds
would double if they'd only get on and operate.


snip--------------------------
I ran a little test here using this exchange at different speeds:

K5RC 733 Q KG5U 59 STX

15wpm = 18s
20wpm = 14s
25wpm = 12s
30wpm = 10s
35wpm = 8s

Message-ID: <4.2.0.58.20021104164951.009ce710@mail.comcast.net>

One factor which I believe played a part in the frenzy over NWT and NL 
during SS CW this past weekend was due to the bad radio conditions which 
were forecast for Sunday.  VY1JA himself said (paraphrased) "If you hear me 
Saturday work me" which was a legitimate concern but may have fueled the fire.

I know at our K8CC multi the bad Sunday forecast made us eager to work any 
of the less than common VE sections.  The specter of disturbed condx seemed 
all too possible when the first few VE6s and VE7s we worked were not loud 
at all and spots for VE4s and VE5s were barely audible here.  Nonetheless, 
VE1OP had a good signal and was easily worked early on 21 MHz, and both 
VY1JA and KL7XX had decent signals when worked the first night on 28 MHz.

Its always interesting to note which section multipliers turn out to be the 
hardest to get.  K5ZD and others missed NL, while we had three call 
us.  Too bad we can't set aside the spares for another contest :-)

Hi Ford,

I hope you pass these and other's comments on to your friend.

It is indeed regrettable that this experience occured. If someone did tell
him to "go awy" that person deserves a huge raspberry for behaviour not only
unbecoming a contester but also unbecoming any member of the human race.

That said, there's never just one side to any situation. It deserves mention
that contesting is unlike any other facet of ham radio. It is to the casual
operator what The Masters is to a Sunday duffer. The people who play
contests do so to win. It's not your average Sunday afternoon gab fest.

That's not to excuse the rude, callous behaviour identified but it does
exhort the newbie to be sensitive to the realities at play. If an op is
running stations at 100/hr, he is going to pick out calls at 35 wpm faster
than calls at 10 wpm, so a newbie could be left waiting for the pileup to
calm down. This weekend, I had completed my report to one station before
another, slower op, had finished sending his call. I wasn't deliberately
snubbing the QRS op, it just happened that way.

Now, when we do work someone who requests a QRS we should, and I think in
large measure do. There are exceptions to every rule, a bad apple in every
bushel, etc. Be that as it may, I don't QRS unless asked or if I'm answering
a QRS CQ. Invariably, I'll answer a 15 wpm call at 28 and encounter no
resistance. So it's a bit of a gamble on my part that I won't have to send
it again, but 9 out of 10 it pays off. It at least pays off enough to make
up for the odd QSO where I do have to send again. It's also a gamble that
the person will tell me if he missed something, but I think that's a fairly
safe bet.

To Ford's friend: Please don't base your opinion on contesting on this
weekend alone. I do think the suggestions that perhaps you were in over your
head are fair. Work on your code speed (SuperMorse is a great CW trainer,
you can find downloads on the Web). Listen to other contests, even phone
contests, to get a feel for how contest QSOs operate. They are different.
Practise in smaller contests, like state QSO parties. Practise code by
operating casually. This will help develop not only speed but also the
biological QRM filter that is so vital to operating in today's bands.
Realize that QRM happens. We all deal with it and nobody is targetting you
with QRM. Try to align yourself with multiops who can Elmer you personally
during slower times.

It takes time, but it IS worth it. Unfortunately, playing SS as your first
contest is a bit like putting on roller skates for the first time and
expecting to keep up with the Roller Derby crowd. SS is a juggernaut that
moves at breakneck speed.

73, kelly

Yes.  They should do whatever they feel they need to in order to deal with
the pileup.

In many cases, this would be highly preferable to the nonsense that happens
during a high desperation pileup.

Your point is taken- But at the same time, by your argument, you can
forget the 20-30% of contest qso's that come from  guys who never send in
logs- they're there to participate- and they make up lots of q's! Let's at
least give em a shot-
And I dont think a guy who is barely learning dits and dahs is who we're
talking about - its the guys that are good to 15-20WPM but cant handle
40+- Be careful not to disclude these guys from the fun of playing the
game--

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Unsportsmanlike?
Message-ID: <20021105041840.12293.qmail@mail.dallastec.com>

Here's my experience learning "contest code".  I call it "contest code" 
because I know I can't keep up with 30wpm in conversational CW, but for the 
short bursts in contests, my brain can usually handle it.

My first experience with high speed contest style CW was on field day 
several years ago.  Two very proficient CW ops were running, one working the 
stations, the other logging and duping.  Filters wide open, no headphones.  
Sounded like a mess to me.  My meager 13 words per minute I had passed the 
week before seemed woefully inadequite. 

Even though I was very intimidated, I sat down and listened for a while, 
catching about 1 letter out of 10.  After a while I started to pick up on 
the rhythm of the QSO's and was recognizing patterns (like there was our 
callsign, followed by some number, then some letters). 

I was just getting up to leave, when the guy logging said he had to take a 
break and would I sit down and log.  I said there was no way, but the guy 
running the stations said he would call out what I needed to write down.  So 
off I went, pretending to hear what was being copied.  The op turned on the 
narrow filter, and suddenly I heard only 1 signal instead of 10.  Whoa, I 
could actually copy a little better now, maybe getting 1 character out of 5. 

This lasted for probably half an hour or so.  We had a great run frequency.  
I was starting to catch the first parts of callsigns (not too hard when you 
only have to listen for A,K,N,W), and the first part of exchanges.  I was 
impressed with myself.  Aparently so was the op, because he suddenly said he 
had to go to the restroom, pushed the key in front of me and turned down the 
keyer speed a little. 

WHOA!  There was someone else in the tent now, and he offered to log and 
help copy.  What was nice is that he made me work for it.  I was asking for 
fills, repeats, etc. at probably 20wpm.  I worked guys for probably an hour 
after that, progressivly getting better at my copy. 

The next week I went and passed my 20wpm, which I thought I'd never get! 

This past weekend I had writelog set at 28WPM, which is now fairly 
comfortable for my skills with "contest code". 

I guess what worked best for me was being thrown into the thick of things 
along with having some backup that made everything workable for both me and 
the calling stations. 

Hope these insights help, and hopefully your rookie CW contester won't give 
up.  Get a Y adapter for the headphone jack and work the next CW contest 
with this guy, one working the stations, one logging.  Then trade off!

I don't believe the subject is "guys that are good to 15-20WPM". A guy at
that speed would be able to get on and make contacts and would likely
improve rapidly. I have to think the guy that this thread is about is not up
to that level.

------------------------------
One of the problems is the minimum speed that the program will allow
you to go. I think CT will maybe go as slow as 16 WPM, but others will
not.

I love cw, but I am also legally deaf...if you consider -82db
down...And it's not going to get any better.
This may have been my last SSCW.

I can still do 30-35 , but noticed this year it was a lot harder. Plus
the headphones were practically
vibrating at the audio I had cranked in.

And all the denials are a bunch of crap! This has and will continue to
be a problem now that the CW requirements have been practically
eliminated.

Maybe we can come up with a gentleman's agreement that at 60 kHz up
from the bottom, the speed limit is
lower! Say 20-25...

Perhaps if we recognize this as a problem, we can work on it.

I guess there are at least two way to do Seach and Pounce: 

1)  Go up and down the band: if a station is working someone, tune by and
find the next guy calling CQ and hope that the next time down the band the
guy you skipped is still there and not in a QSO again.

2) Go up and down the band; if you encounter someone in a QSO wait till
he's done and then call him.

I did some of #1 but mostly #2.  Might as well enter the data from his
current QSO while I'm waiting my turn.  I don't think that violates any
rules.

Mr. Elmer you get 90% of the blame for this problem Why didn't you start him
out on WAE and sending QTC's. Then not only would he give up CW contesting
but he would have probably had to change his shorts. I've been at this CW
contesting stuff a long time and the accepted rule of thumb,in the past, has
ALWAYS been whatever speed the guy is calling CQ at is the speed of the
contact. Every year, Every year, I run across K0RF calling CQ in excess if
35 WPM. I answer him at that speed, out of respect to him, we send each
other the exchange and I move on. Boys and girls you have 363 days a year to
learn CW, at a reasonable speed, and practice your CW operating technique.
Saturday and Sunday, of SSCW weekend,  is NOT time to learn how to send CW
or how to contest.

I'm trying to figure out my SS CW performance this year, while everything 
is still fresh.

In that connection, it seems to me that, at least for those of us East of 
the Mississippi, it's really two contests -- before and after the big break 
in the wee hours of Sunday morning.  I think a good metric would be to 
relate the first off time to the number of QSOs at that point, and compare 
to the total.

I'd like to compile some data in this respect, and will share the result 
with the reflector.  If you'd like to help, please send me the following 
direct, and I'll massage the figures and post them:

1 -- when did you take your break (Z)?
2 -- how many QSOs did you have at that point?
3 -- when did you resume in the morning (Z)?
4 -- how many total QSOs did you have for the contest?

As an example, my responses are:

1 -- 0717
2 -- 606
3 -- 1150
4 -- 1117

Thanks in advance!

Message-ID: <ADEJKJINLBKGMNGALFCFGEIAEFAA.W2CS@bellsouth.net>

I think Jim might have a good point here.

My son's first SS was right after he was a newly annointed General class op.
His code speed was solid at 10, good enough at 13, and 15 was ok.  We did an
multiop on SS.  He listened to me doing the first several hours and then
took a turn.

What I had him do was park on a CQer's frequency and copy the exchange. I
didn't care how long he took.  He also had to copy the last QSO's number and
write it down, too, before he called the guy.  This was when we still used
keyers/paddles, so he then had to call the guy at whatever sending speed he
could muster. That started out around 18, I'd say.  Remember, his code speed
was a shaky 15 at the time.  But all he had to copy was enough of what was
being sent to know when it was his turn to send and also when/whether a fill
was needed.

By the time SS was over, his code speed on receive was at least 25 and
probably 30.  Sending was in the same ball park.  On most Qs he no longer
had to wait several iterations to get the exchange, either.  The last few
hours he even had some runs going. It did take him a while to grab the
courage for that first CQ SS!

The point of this narrative is that motivation, expectations, and coaching
from a mentor are all crucial to success.  He thought he couldn't keep up;
so I gave him a way he could make Qs without the pressure (pre-copying).
This was exquisite code practice, but I didn't "sell" it that way.  His
expectations, once he heard me operate, were appropriately low, so that was
never an issue.  As for motivation...Have you ever issued a challenge to a
13 year old boy? !!

And you know, I didn't even have to "throw away" that SS from award
possibilities.  We ended up taking the Division!  And he did a fair amount
of operating.

I believe it is entirely possible for someone with 15wpm talent to succeed
in coming close to doubling code speed in a single contest.  But, it
requires a mentor to help out, IMHO, and it requires motivation on the part
of the newbie.  I have often found that motivation and the mentor's approach
are closely related.

I am a bit skeptical regarding someone with only a "familiarity with the
code"  (aka 5WPM) to succeed as my son did starting at 13.  Though with
computers to do the sending, it might work to some extent. In that case I'd
use the same approach, but pick a smaller contest, as others have suggested.

Maybe if many of us went multi-op with newbies we would find more Qs to work
the next year.

One thing I always do after SS is to filter my log for all the QSO's with 
checks more recent than a couple of years and send them QSL card with the 
PSE QSL box not checked. Maybe it will help some newer hams join in the fun 
again next time. It can't hurt and is just a few $'s very well spent, I think.

This idea was not mine originally, I believe it was first mentioned here a 
few years ago by someone.

Again, thanks for all the fun and Q's last weekend!

Quack's    .02
I think that we are loosing Many newbies becauz of CW speed.  A friend and
his XYL both hams said that they got on during CQWW CW to try to work some.
The major problem, was they couldn't even get the call signs of the CQers  .
They both do CW around 15 wpm.
CW is a dying art and its going to have less and less of us to carry on,
I'm not a speed deamond. but when I call some stations that are CQing at 32
,  they seem to think they should come back to me at 40.  I do get the info
sometime but, that guy setting there trying to figure out his call and the
exchange info just got lost again.    I'm as guilty as the next guy in
cranking at 34/36 w/CQ SS, however I do slow down to the speed that somone
calls.

Last was KL7XX   78=WY  79=VE4   From  Illinois.
No fair changing the section in your logs now.

I'm sure there are some contesters that in some situations might tell a 
slow op to "go away" (and we don't know the full story on that) but it 
seems to me that Ford's apprentice was in over his head and not very 
enthusiastic to begin with (only after "much encouragement and proding" did he 
get on).

Perhaps he was looking for an excuse to stick his key "back in the 
box".  Sounds like CW isn't his "thing" and maybe he just doesn't *get* 
contesting.  My guess is that this "attempt" at Sweepstakes only 
reaffirmed his dislike of contests.

Hey All,

Well, I'm sorry to hear that a newbie was treated rudely
by a contest op.  Sorry to say, but there are rude people
in any section of society.

I had a lot of fun this weekend, operating my favorite mode,
working a bunch of people who really know how to use a mode
that makes ham radio a unique hobby.  Yep, I went fast... CQing
at 35wpm, sometimes up to 38...  I had only ONE station ask for
a QRS, which he got immediately.  Even a guy sending a check of
44 (Not a club), sending on a straight key, or another with a 
check of 01, got my exchange 100% without a QRS.

It's a great pleasure working such skilled CW ops -- with very little
need for fills -- kinda like working 1RN back in the 70s and running a
ton of traffic without a single fill.  CW Contesters are a special breed!

I bet lots of newbies practice their CW skills by LISTENING to the high
speed guy, getting his basic info (maybe taking listening to 5 or 6 Qs),
then dumping in their call. (That's the way I did it many moons ago.)

Nope, I didn't get a sweep, and it's certainly not my best score --
only on for 11 hours -- but I had fun in one of THE best contests
around.  I can't wait till next year!

About 67K, 77 sections -- missed ME, WY, NL  -- Anybody else have
trouble with Maine?

KE1FO's description reminded me of something...

I learned CW memorizing dots & dashes with that bloody ARRL book.

Luckily, WB7DSI (now N7CF) demonstrated that after some operating
(Viking II & SX-101, w/SX-101 later replaced by some right whizbang
kit like an NC-300 & SB-301) I could easily copy the sidetone of his
Heathkit keyer (HD-1410?) at 15 wpm over the telephone, when I thought
double-digit speeds were impossible.

Somewhere around that time I recall trying to crack pile ups but the
mute switch on the receiver, B+ switch on the Viking & the knife switch
for the antenna were a little too much for late-70s DXing.

I believe there is a company with a four-letter brand name for footwear
that has a slogan that is applicable here: just do it.

Once upon a time, the guys we all look to today were the clueless gits
we are today.

Thats a shame, it sounds like he found the bad apple in the barrel.  I would
say that 99% of us would have slowed down.

I have my external keyer setup for slower speeds just for this reason.  I
find its easier to go to my paddle rather than change the speed on the pc
with a shift f9/f10.

As others have stated, throwing a newbie into SS wasn't a good idea. 
It has the most complex exchange of any major contest, as well as 
mostly seasoned ops. You wouldn't throw a newbie into a Sprint, would 
you? 

A state QSO party would have been a better choice. An even better 
choice would have been telling the newbie to first operate casual CW 
to become more proficient before trying his hand in a contest.

Just because the FCC has dumbed down licensing requirements doesn't 
mean we have to dumb down our operating abilities and acquiesce to 
mediocrity.

I would QRS if someone asked, but I'm typically not a speed demon on 
the sending end (just the receiving end), and I can't recall anyone 
ever asking.

    Methinks I detect some cw "elitism" here which is precisely why I gave up 
on the CW Sprint - too many cw elitists who weren't interested in slowing 
down or giving me the information I asked for. 

    CW SS should NOT be for hotshot cw ops only. I thought we were trying to 
encourage more activity.

Gang,

I just got back from driving 14 hours yesterday after working from
Lander, WY as a Q station.  I am posting a long report to QRP-L
and there will be a write up in World Radio, but here are a couple
of hints.

1.  Don't worry about the sections.  Work stations and they will
      come. {they ---  the sections}   On Sunday I was short
      ME and WY and 3 Canadian sections and you know those by
      heart by now.  :-)  I got a frequency (very difficult for a Q station)
      and made a short run on several bands and had ME and WY
      call me (WY was the other Q station in the state).

      I was hoping VY1JA was going to standby for Qs on the half-hour
      like he had in the past but the 10 meter pileup was large and so was
      the one just down the band for VO1MP.  QUESTION.  How do these
      guys work each other?

2.  Tree's comment about the unique stations brings up an interesting
      point.  I worked a couple of stations late Sunday.  They were giving
      out low serial numbers, so they just got started.  The thing that scares
      the stuffings out of me is that these guys are using bugs.  They could
      not send the same set of numbers twice!!!  Now I stopped and listened
      to three exchanges by the same station that I worked.  I will lose two
      Qs because I get credited with a bad exchange when I copied what he
      sent.  Next year from WY I may chose to not work anyone not using
      a computer for this reason.  I still don't know which one was the 
right one.

      Tree.  Does the computer check routine do anything about this?



>Present score for 2002 -----  85,008 points from WY.  Thanks to all you
guys and girls that worked the weak one with portable antennas in -15F
weather (I was inside but it was cold anyway and you put up antennas
in 0 degree weather and you know what I mean.)  :-)

Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.2.20021105100226.00a93260@3n.net>

I agree that newcomers need to be treated gently. I'm one myself. On the 
other hand, it is sometimes too easy for a newbie to be discouraged. 
Persistence, as it says in the Bible, pays off.

During SS, I started out Sat afternoon despairing of ever reading the calls 
and exchanges because they were sent at way over my 10-15 wpm speed. 
However, by that evening, either the senders had slowed somewhat or my 
ability to read had improved.

In fact, I began to look on the contest as fast code practice. I would hear 
a station and sit on its frequency as it exchanged with others. When I had 
all of the info, or all but one of the exchange items, I would call--with 
my hand key. Most ops realized that they were dealing with a 
less-than-great fist, and responded accordingly. Over the few hours I 
operated (after several hours of listening) I logged 15 QSOs. And I got all 
of the info correct, I think.

So my advice to a newbie would be either to sit beside someone for a 
while--but that can be daunting if the op is a 45-wpm type--or, better yet, 
use the SS and such as an opportunity to try reading fast code. One 
advantage of these CW contests is that the ops in the contest are almost to 
a man (woman) first rate and it is a pleasure to listen to good code.

So newbies, do not be discouraged.

John, W3ULS

I dont agree that we are losing newbies directly because of CW speed. 
There is just less interest and incentive in learning the code to start 
with....it has no more commercial/military viability.  You have to want to 
do it for JUST for fun and games now, which isnt enough incentive for most 
to become literate, let alone highly proficient.

It seems the average WPM speed is slowly dropping, with guys sending at 
over 35 wpm the exception rather than the rule as it used to be...

I think it would real interesting to see what happened if QSO's got 
deleted from the log if EITHER station messed up the exchange.  Right now 
there is no incentive for the fast guy to slow down and/or correct 
mistakes  once he has HIS exchange copied...   Most will take the time, 
but I'm sure some dont.

I also felt that activity from the NE was down quite a bit, but perhaps 
that was just band conditions.  I'm not used to hearing stations up and 
down the East coast on all bands almost all the time!

Quack's    .02
I think that we are loosing Many newbies becauz of CW speed.  A friend and
his XYL both hams said that they got on during CQWW CW to try to work 
some.
The major problem, was they couldn't even get the call signs of the CQers 
.
They both do CW around 15 wpm.
CW is a dying art and its going to have less and less of us to carry on,
I'm not a speed deamond. but when I call some stations that are CQing at 
32
,  they seem to think they should come back to me at 40.  I do get the 
info
sometime but, that guy setting there trying to figure out his call and the
exchange info just got lost again.    I'm as guilty as the next guy in
cranking at 34/36 w/CQ SS, however I do slow down to the speed that somone
calls.

Last was KL7XX   78=WY  79=VE4   From  Illinois.
No fair changing the section in your logs now.

At home I still send CW with a keyer/paddle.
I have op'd Field Day and other contests
at other places with the local club I used
to be with and used the computer (NA in our case) 
to send the exchange, call CQ, etc.  The 
difference is like night and day, especially
in removing sending mistakes, but also in speed
of handling the exchange.

Operating SS this last weekend with hand keying
was a bear, no doubt about it.  And I'm resolved
to add computer keying to my arsenal.

I'm surprised that no one has suggested this
possibility to the "slow" ops - using the
computer to at least send the code for you.
With the other S&P technique of listening to
an exchange or two ahead of your calling to get
the exchange, and then letting the computer
send your call and exchange at the faster 
speed of the other operator would solve many a
new operator's problems and anxiety.

I knew what I was getting into this last weekend.
I suspect the person we are all writing about
did not.  I, too, would second the notion that
this operator should have started in state QSO
parties and the like first.  I also support the
idea of local contesting clubs formed with a 
major idea of elmering new contest operators.
That is what I had where I used to live - it
helped me alot.

I find this debate interesting. I agree that slowing 
down is important and the guy who said "go away" was rude. 
Myself, I always tried to match the speed of my caller albeit
I probably could have gone even slower.

Then again, was the offended party really a contesting prospect?

I remember getting into CW contesting. High speeds were frustrating
to me as well. Yet, I WANTED to be a CW contester. I WANTED to be 
part of (what I consider) an elite subsection of the hobby. I 
knew that I had to pay my dues and gain experience. I even did 
some of things mentioned on this thread (as we all have)

 1) copying data down BEFORE calling (and AFTER)
 2) sitting beside better CW ops with an extra pair of headphones

That's because I WANTED to be a CW contester.

Just two weeks ago, I did my first big SSB (CQWW) contest - those same 
frustrations came over me again. I started all over the same way, 
Listening to CQers over and over until I got the call and sitting 
in with an experienced SSB operator to learn the ropes. I was contantly
shaking my head (how'd you get that call?). It's a whole new skill set 
but I'm not throwing in the towel. (It's funny, I never see anybody 
complain about SSB contest speed but they talk fast and not very clearly.)

Radio contesting is a unique sport. Not many sports let the newcomer
or even the casual player jump in with the big boys. We allow 
competitors and non-competitors to play. We have casual's looking 
for a new state/country, guys looking to win it all, and everything in
between. And then, on top of it, we want it to be fun and equal for 
everybody. :>)  That's because we who love the sport want to spread the
excitement we feel. 

Yes, we need new blood. Yes, we need to encourage sportmanship and
good behavior. But sometimes, we try to sell this sport to others
that it will just not EVER appeal too. Me, I will never golf. Can't
see any appeal in it. My friends tell me it's a great sport. I believe
them - it just doesn't strike my fancy. 

I suggest that our friend who is putting the key away in it's box may 
never have enjoyed CW contesting - even at 13WPM. Not everybody is a 
CW contester. He may have just tried it and decided he didn't like it. 
Fortunately, this is a hobby with many facets. 

I hope he can find one he does enjoy.

Message-ID: <LOBBKFICDFPNLHBMOBDKEEKIGEAA.k0luz@topsusa.com>


There seems to be an assumption that there are a number of hams who would
like to operate contests but are afraid of the fast cw speeds.  I agree that
speeds are getting faster.  Back in stone age times (for me ...... late
50's,  hand keys and semi-automatic keyers (bugs) were the norm and it is
tough to send 35 wpm on a hand key or a bug.  Someone mentioned that W4KFC
always sent at 20 wpm and that's probably right because that was consider
the normal 'fast' back in those days.  Then we went to electronic keyers and
then to memory keyers and the sending got faster.  And you know what???  The
operators got used to receiving faster too!  So now we have this layer of
hams who grew up through these transistions and can handle it and we have
the hams that have no idea how to get up to the speeds we now use.  That's
why I heard no more than 50 contacts with a check of 95 or later with  qso
contacts of over 1000.  So what to do?

Some things have been tried such as suggesting that these operators move up
to the high end of the band and have their own 'slow' contest and when us
speed demons go up there we are suppose to notch our keyers back to their
speeds.  Noooooooo   problem,  but then I don't hear hardly anyone up there!
So here are some possible conclusions:

1.      The newbies are afraid to call CQ
2.      The newbies don't really give a damn about contesting (Quake is better 
on
Internet)
3.      We aren't doing a very good job of promoting the 'slow zone'

If there are indeed plenty of people who 'want' to operate slowly,  then
there ought to be fun just working each other at the beginning of the
contest and then make sure they all understand that on Sunday afternoon and
evening,  there will be many more stations who were previously not listening
that high in the band that will respond to their cq's.

I guess we need to get our marketing division working on this!

Quack's    .02
I think that we are loosing Many newbies becauz of CW speed.  A friend and
his XYL both hams said that they got on during CQWW CW to try to work some.
The major problem, was they couldn't even get the call signs of the CQers  .
They both do CW around 15 wpm.
CW is a dying art and its going to have less and less of us to carry on,
I'm not a speed deamond. but when I call some stations that are CQing at 32
,  they seem to think they should come back to me at 40.  I do get the info
sometime but, that guy setting there trying to figure out his call and the
exchange info just got lost again.    I'm as guilty as the next guy in
cranking at 34/36 w/CQ SS, however I do slow down to the speed that somone
calls.

Last was KL7XX   78=WY  79=VE4   From  Illinois.
No fair changing the section in your logs now.

I agree we need to look for more activity,  but if this is a contest and
contest are there to 'compete',  a qso that can be completed in 18 seconds
(assuming there are more stations standing by or will be quickly acquired)
is better than a qso taking 45 seconds.  And since most of us are optimist
(there is another station standing by to work me and if it takes too long,
the station will tune up the band),  quicker qso's are better!

    Methinks I detect some cw "elitism" here which is precisely why I gave
up
on the CW Sprint - too many cw elitists who weren't interested in slowing
down or giving me the information I asked for.

    CW SS should NOT be for hotshot cw ops only. I thought we were trying to
encourage more activity.

Cheers,
Steve     K7LXC

After a good chuckle at the riposte, it remains good advice.  No one is 
required to stay on a particular frequency.  If the mob gets too unruly - MOVE! 
 The best I've ever heard this done was by W6NV at SU2MT a few years ago.  When 
the rate dropped by about half, Oliver just moved up 2 kHz.  The receiver-less 
idiots just stayed there calling, while he called CQ once or twice and had a 
new pileup going at the new spot.  By the time scenario A repeated, the 
original frequency had cleared out, so back he went.  His overall rate remained 
much higher than if he'd stayed put.

Reinforcing a point made by others earlier - if there are specific instructions 
that the pileup should follow, repeat them with every QSO.  Whether it's "up", 
"EU", "QRP only", "zeros", whatever - it needs to be said with each QRZ.  
Remember that a fair number of the callers may have just tuned into the action 
and it only takes two or three to make mush out of things.  The small 
inefficiency incurred by the extra characters or syllables is paid back 
handsomely in higher rate, fewer repeats, and lower blood pressure.

73, Ward N0AX

Hmmmm. I thought we always played at contesting JUST for fun and 
games? Sure we want to improve our skills and our station - just so 
that it's even more fun.

As a 100% SSB op, let me humbly offer a suggestion. If you want to 
keep CW alive and thriving, you need to grab on to and WELCOME every 
5wpm newbie who shows up. A certain modest % of those will "get the 
bug" and will progress to become the next generation of serious CW 
contesters. That's what has happened here in central Texas. If you 
are unwilling to slow down in SS, at least make a firm commitment and 
serious effort through your clubs to search out, WELCOME and elmer 
some new 5wpm entrants. If you don't, all those new HF ops will end 
up just like NT5C.

73, John.

I agree that it would be mean, if nothing else, to just encourage someone very 
inexperienced to jump in without preparation.  "Here - just hold this rope, sit 
back on your skis, I'll fire up these twin Mercury outboards, and you'll have 
some real fun!  Here we go, now! 
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....."

Right.  I don't think this was the case either.

One of the most important ingredients for success - which was not present in my 
original post, I admit - is listening.  Slow-speed ops can get a lot out of the 
contest if they are encouraged to figure out the general flow and timing first. 
 SS QSOs can be made a lot easier, as we all know, by getting all the 
information copied down first, figuring out what your number will be, and only 
then calling.

While we all post to each other - contesters all - wouldn't it be better if 
this instruction was made available as a Web site with some audio clips?  I'd 
be happy to contribute some writing if a Webmeister would step forward to put 
the site together.  I'm sure there are others out there with audio clips, 
photos, etc.

The point here is that we should be encouraging newer folks to pursue CW,
instead of discouraging them.  A good CW op should be able to work anyone,
fast or slow.  I've also experienced contest contacts where the op on the
other end would apparently prefer to make zero contacts in two minutes,
rather than make one with me.

Good observations Gerry.

I also had fun, although I did not get to spend enough time operating due to
some family stuff going on this weekend.

I really enjoy it when I call someone that I've probably worked in 20 or 25
CW SS's and they crank *UP* their speed when they know it's me.  I chuckle
every time - and am thankful that I'm still able to copy in "panic" mode.

I have never refused to QRS when asked, and was not asked this weekend.  I
did not exceed 32 WPM except when I was working some old guys I know can
copy faster.

I've been thinking exactly the same thing, especially for Sweepstakes. Of
course, rates would be lower due to QRS and extra fills, you could never be
absolutely sure the other guy got it right, and you lose if the other guy is
a lid. But there would be a heck of a lot more incentive to get it right,
which should be a paradigm of contesting. Besides, all ops would be faced
with the same set of skills on the other side, so the playing field would be
level.

While we're on the subject, the one-letter-wrong-in-the-call thing is kind
of silly -- either he got it right or he didn't. What difference does it
make whether one letter or two are wrong (aside from the fact that
two-letter errors are harder for the log check program to correlate with a
given call)? How many high-speed ops have heard the other guy get one letter
of their call wrong and think, "I'll still get credit for the QSO and it's
not worth my time to correct the call for him"?)

If we justify contesting by claiming that it prepares us for emergency
operations, then we have an obligation to ensure that the rules encourage
accurate communications.

Message-ID: <003501c284f3$0e228d60$12096cd8@jallen>

Ok rules buffs, here is one for you.

For the past years, through this reflector, QST, and other magazines,  I
have told people that I find a clear frequency as close to my MUF as
possible and on as close as possible to frequencies that end in 27, 37 and
17  like 28427 and 28327.  I applied this during SS CW and several people
commented that I was exactly where they expected me.  For example, I started
SSCW on 28027 and spent a lot of time working pileup on 28016 ( listening on
28017)

A concern was expressed that this may not be within the spirit of the rules.

As I understand the rules: it is against the spirit of the rules to use non
amateur means to solicit contacts during the contest.  It is also against
the spirit of the rules to schedule contacts.

I feel that since I do not know that any 27 frequency will be clear, and
that I do not know who will or will not find me on that frequency, nor even
if my MUF will allow QSOs on any band, that my actions are entirely within
the spirit of the rules.

By the way, I was told that my signals were weak and watery during SSCW
while your signals were clear and LOUD here.  I think that giving everyone
any clue as to how to find even a weak and watery rare multiplier will make
the contest more enjoyable for all.

Message-ID: <20021105174931.72876.qmail@web13302.mail.yahoo.com>

Greetings!

According to my limited perspective, it seems to
me we have 4 distinct types of ops who get on
during a contest.

1) the hardcore competitive type who will be
there come hell, highwater, aurora, solar flares,
Murphy, football, or meals.  They'll work anyone
anytime anywhere. Can be expected to be on, on
some band, the entire time they are allocated to
be on the air. Newbies, oldbies, and slowbies can
count on having multiple chances to work them. 
These stations can be 'precopied' and the info
saved so that all you have to do is copy the
serial no (SERNO) of their Q, and hit 'ENTER' on
the keyboard to have a valid Q when you DO work
them.  Hard core competitve types tend to not QRS
if calling CQ and you call them. They expect that
stations who answer thier CQ's should be able to
keep up in some reasonable manner. They WILL QRS
(usually) if asked but prefer that stations keep
up with them.  Many times their hand key/external
keyer is set to a slowerspeed for just this
purpose in case they need to hand key an exchange
or part of one.  They tend to think that if one
is entering the SS, once should expect that there
is a minimum level of competency expected and if
new or unsure one should expect to need help or
to be willing to put up with the expected higher
level of required ability.

2) The competitive type who wants to do well in
some personal category but will adapt to the
conditions at their own station/life. They are
usually on quite a bit, but they'll QSY/QRT
depending on personal needs or mood.  Newbies,
oldbies, and slowbies  can expect to find them
on, more often than not, but should try to work
them as they find them. Exchange can be
'precopied' like #1 but availbale opportunities
to do so may be limited or sporadic.  Same
logging scenario. Copy current SERNO, insert
precopied info, hit Enter and done.  They tend to
be very flexible to the speed of the station
responding  and will tend  to auto-QRS without
being asked.  Tends to have SOME of the attitude
of #1 in relation to the expecatations concerning
people who participate in the SS, but more
flexible in willingness to accomodate the
slowbies or newbies.

3) The casual contester. They get on as the mood
hits them and are interested in some personal
goal such as beating their previous score,
getting states for 5BWAS/WAS, practicing
techniques or just having some fun in between
other activities. Newbies, oldbies, and slowbies
should strive to stick with these folks as much
as they can and work them as they can. This
station will QRS or tend to be a bit slower than
the normal SS speed because they are not
rate-focused and are not as tuned to that aspect,
save when they get a run going if they choose to
run stations. They tend to submit logs for
scoring purposes.  Very flexible in their
attitude towards expectations that
newbies/slowbies should have. 

4) The non-contester. They get on to 'give the
gang a few points', seek states/provinces for
awards, check out their gear and antennas, and
generally have a good time without any sense of
interest in submitting a log. They will usually
QRS without asking and tend to be more 'laid
back'. Newbies, oldbies, and slowbies like these
types because they have (usually) zero problems
with speed of exchange since the non-contester is
not into it for points, rate, or other contest
specific reasons.

I know.. these are generalized examples and there
are sub-divisions within the categories.  These
are my own observations after many times opp'ing
in the SS.

Thoughts? I'm not looking for flames.. just
thoughts and comments.

If CW is dying.. why was 20/15 always filled with
stations working each other? hmmm.

Hey, I've got a crazy idea. If we want to encourage newer ops to contesting,
why not create a contest specifically for them. Slow code, in subbands where
can operate and an easy exchange. We could call it... Novice Roundup or
maybe something younger and hipper.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] My first SS...
Message-ID: <002901c284f8$2affacb0$11ed3518@CHRIS>

Reading the thread about the gentlemen who "put his key back in the box" has
caught me thinking back.

SS CW was my very FIRST contest back when I was barely a general class, and
about 11 or 12 years old.  I thought I would try my hand at this contest...
everyone said it was "the best."  Saturday came along, and I was ready.  I
had my program on the computer (one I had never used before), my paddle,
high spirits, and the radio.  I was good to go!  After a busy saturday, I
got on the air a few hours after the start.  I decided I would give out a
couple CQ's at my poky speed of about 13wpm.  This was going to be great!
Back then you couldn't even think about 15 or 10 meters in Alaska, so I hit
20.

After the first CQ, it was chaotic.  I felt like everyone in the whole US
was calling!  Not only were they calling, but they were calling FAST.
REALLY FAST!!  I caught a partial call.  I answered him.  Hey wait a
minute... all those guys can't be the one I called!  So I called him again.
GEEZ WHY IS EVERYONE CALLING ME!!!  I try it AGAIN several times.  SUCCESS!
I got his call, and send the report... that seems to take about 10 minutes.
Now he sends his report to me.  SLOW DOWN MAN I CAN'T TYPE THAT FAST!!! THIS
PROGRAM SUCKS!!!  AAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!  So I ask for a repeat... he
slows down.  OK I think I got it.  Time for another one.

The pileup has grown.

After about 10 minutes of yelling at the computer, getting frustrated at
operators not slowing down, and calling constantly over one another, I gave
up.  I quit.  Forget this contest thing!  If someone can't slow down for me,
I don't want to work them.  I'm just a kid in Alaska!!!

I try it again on Sunday.  I try calling guys, not CQing.  They slow down
for the most part.  They are probably happy to work Alaska.  I think I have
the program figured out, and my ears are "tuned" to the report.  I try CQing
again, and the pileup sounds even bigger!!  Great... here we go again.
After a few minutes of that nonsense, I quit while I'm ahead.  I was pretty
turned off from contests after that, at least from SS. :)

But obviously I didn't put the key away!  I just calmed down, and came back
later not so pissed off.  Hopefully the person who made the previous
comments will come back later, a little more level headed.

-Chris KL9A

p.s.  I think starting off "newbies" with Fone SS is a very bad idea... I
don't know why so many people do it with such a complicated contest report!

Not necessarily.  There would be a minimum speed I'd expect someone to be
able to do if he were to hang in there in a CW contest.  Perhaps 15 wpm?
I don't think a 5 wpm code proficiency is going to cut it in a major
contest like SS.

Would you want a driver who just can't drive over 90 mph without losing
control of his car to attempt the Indy 500?  (It has been done ...)

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Some comments from a newbie: QRS, Sportsmanship, etc
Message-ID: <01af01c28504$008cdc30$d6018b97@bk.trackdata.com>

I'm a CW newbie who can do casual QSO's at 15 WPM or so, but who would like to 
dabble in contesting as a participant and not as a
competitor (more about that later).   I have a strong personal ethos that 
mandates that my pleasure is not to come at the expense of
someone else.  I have been following the thread on Unsportsmanlike and its 
spin-offs.  In summary, my feelings are that:

    contest organizers should provide some kind of venue for newcomers
    newcomers should expect to do their homework and respect the rules of good 
taste
    contesters should extend consideration to newcomers, especially when the 
run slows down.

I have suggested to several organizers that they consider welcoming newcomers 
(who will be tomorrow's contesters) by providing hints
and even establishing informal conventions.  Things like a section on the web 
page "so you're new to contesting" containing the
items posted so nicely by Ward, N0AX; suggested frequency ranges; a suggestion 
on when and how to make a contact without annoying a
serious competitor.  As for conventions, I'd like to suggest that replying to a 
CQ with a ? before the call might be a signal that a
newcomer wants to try.  There is activity in the novice sub-bands in the major 
contests (heard with my own ears in both FD and this
past SS), but it's frustrating since most of OM's replying to a CQ SS end up 
giving their RST, name, QTH, WX or asking "what should
I send?".  And there is little or no participation in the state QSO parties.  
But organizers can designate a place where there will
be activity at a more relaxed pace.  The NYC Marathon was being run at the same 
time as CWSS and it is open to both competitive and
recreational runners.

For their part newcomers need to read the rules, try to copy exchanges, and 
respect the rules of good taste.  Starting with a state
QSO party is one way, waiting until the action cools down and you hear several 
unanswered CQ's, moving up the band.  Using a
computer is not a bad idea, but many want to start more informally.

Contesting is a competitive sport and serious competitors use the best tools 
they can get, and these days, that means a computer.
There is no getting around the fact that working newcomers requires either 
changing the speed setting on the computer or using an
auxiliary key (and many programs support that).  After you've worked all the 
other competitors, there are still lots of potential
Q's out there, and they all count in the log.  So why not consider a deliberate 
switch to QRS when the action slows down?  If the
run is hot, keep at it, but at the end of the contest when every CQ comes up 
empty and everyone else's CQ is a dup, slow down and
see what happens.  In addition to comptetitors (in the contest), there are 
other competitors: those looking for new states,
counties, zones, bands, and just on for a hour or two.  They may or may not 
know the exchange, and they may or may not be able to
operate at contest speed.  You will often hear fone OP's requesting "anybody, 
anywhere" to stir up contacts from casual listeners.
After all, every 'Q' in the log counts.

It took me less time than one QSO at 20WPM to realize Ward's 
"encouragement" letter for newbies last week deserved some cyberspace; 
I posted it on eHam pronto.  I hope it got a few guys on the air.

I think eHam is a great place for some introductory information like 
that letter and contesting.com a better spot for the more 
indepth coverage that Ward is suggesting below (with perhaps a 
corresponding, albeit simpler, eHam article that provides a link).

Audio stuff is great.  The Sprint .WAV files and other info at 
http://n6tr.jzap.com/sprint.html is a great example.  This kind of info 
could certainly reside on contesting.com.

Maybe this has been brought up before ????

Why not just get rid of multipliers for SS ???  CW SS is really an
exercise of who is best at SO2R anyway. The number of multipliers that
the top scores have is usually not a big factor. That way every contact
is equal and no unrulely pileups on anyone....

I know those who like to chase after the "clean sweep" mug might
complain but why not modify it so you can get a mug for making
something like 500 QSO's ??  This way everyone would benefit (more
activity?) besides those stations that are in "rare" sections.

Gee... I sure wouldn't complain about having a big pileup on me !!
(even if it's unrulely HI !) Isn't that every contesters dream ???

Ward, you have made some excellent suggestions here.  

I make it a practice to always sign my callsign at the end of each qso.  I 
find it also helps to keep a pile up under control, especially when operating 
from a dx location...FWIW.

It is in the spirit of Ham Radio, therefore it *should* be in the spirit of
the rules.  I personally have no problem with a rare one who is beloved (and
needed) by all, who never has a negative word to say to anyone (however
Hyde-like) who behaves in a gentlemanly manner and good-naturedly uses
completely amateur means to make sure it is "no secret" where to find him
sometimes, when conditions are favorable.

This is different from phone calls, mass mailings, internet posts, etc.

If anything, the concern would be that this could be interpreted as a
violation of the WRITTEN rules.  That's a different problem.

*I* think it is clearly in the spirit of our events, J., and would never
fault you one bit, rules or not.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CW/Contesting Dying?
Message-ID: <000701c28507$81539900$9b00a8c0@nt.charterne.com>

I always chuckle when I hear the gnashing of teeth and feel the anxiety of
those who
say that cw is obsolete, cw is dying, contesting is dying, etc.

I think it is GREAT that there IS all this worry, because that tells me that
as a
group, we are not complacent....., yet.  As long as we keep worrying about
these things, we will do something about them, and our hobby will continue
to exist and even grow.

YES, we are getting older as a group and yes there are technological changes
and challenges and there will continue to be in the years ahead, and yes, we
are losing more and more of our contesting fraternity, year by year, but
then, if all these things are happening:

1) Why are there more hams than ever?
2) Why are there bigger contest scores than ever?
3) Why are there no clear spots on the cw bands
in any major contest?
4) Why can I make SSB contest qso's at 29.0 mhz?
5) Why are so many people spending so much money
to improve/build their stations?
6) Why are we communicating as a group MUCH MORE
than ever before (technology)?

Seems to me that things are just fine (although many
improvements can be made and much can get better).

Here's what I think:

1) There ARE more ham operators and contest operators
out there and the internet has NOT affected radio activity
in a meaningful way - otherwise you would not have seen
the EXPLOSION in the activity level of European and
South American ops.and stations.

2) We ARE older and much more distracted with family, career,
aging parents, financial issues, health issues, etc. that are more
relevant to a population with an average age in the high 40's, vs
an average age in the late 20's!

3) We have more money to spend on our stations and operating
activities and ARE spending it, including dxpeditions, recreational radio
travel, etc.

4) We have more interests and more diverse interests than just radio.
Whereas a high school kid might have sports, dating, academics, radio,
music, etc, a 40 or 50 year old has ALL those interests PLUS
business, travel, political affiliations, fraternal organizations, volunteer
work,
caretaking, other hobbies, etc., etc, and a LOT less time to do it all in!

5) While our operating may be more limited in terms of time, it is probably
with greater SKILL:

higher code speeds, 2 radio vs 1 radio operations, building more complex
station equipment, speaking more languages, better station/antenna building,
etc.

6) Technology has removed much of the drudgery of operating and let us more
easily operate and spend more hours doing it with less fatigue, making the
hobby more
enjoyable!:

Contest software, DVP's, computer logging, computers!, pre-built switching
devices,
better quality radios, headsets, keyers, etc.

7)  We are paying more attention to our family, spouse, kids, than previous
generations
and with shrinking free time, are choosing to spend more time with them
rather
than operating on a regular basis (at least I am)  :-)

Sure there are less JA's and lower US participation in WPX contests and less
cw in the
novice bands.  I can live with that, there are so many other aspects of our
hobby that are better
than ever before.  Yes, cw as an art may be losing its appeal, but until cw
contest scores
go down dramatically from cycle to cycle, I have to believe that the
activity is there when
it counts, and I won't worry.

But as long as we as a group continue to worry, and not take it for granted,
then the future of
cw and our hobby is assured!

You are 100% correct.  This guy is golden!  And I have an idea....

A number of respondents (I count about 60 to date in my inbox), seem to
think the slowbies are not even welcome in SS.  OK.  Then let's start a new
class (the log checking machines will put up wanted posters on me for this
one but here goes).

"A", "B", "U", "M", "S",.....  "SWL"

SWL:
Copy as many callsigns and valid exchanges during the same 24 hour period.
Submit your log like any other contester.  QSO pts awarded for every valid Q
confirmed by log checking.

1) it would provide the basis for "competition" without "blocking the road."
2) it would be an excellent way to "learn" SS
3) code speed would be dramatically increased
4) The slowbies won't be getting in the way.

Just a thought.

Jay,
I don't see what the difference is between that and going back and looking
over the logs from past years to see what time, what band, what frequency
and what call a rare section might normally show up.  There's nothing to say
that the same condx will be in effect this year or that the op will act the
same this year as he did last year.

Let me make it a bit more difficult.  A rare section starts having QSOs on a
frequency abt a half hour before the contest starts.  His call and frequency
are posted.  A single op unassisted station sees this and goes to that
frequency and hears the station.  When the contest starts, he turns off his
packet and immediately works the station (and maybe others that were posted
prior to the start of the contest).  Is the guy still really a "unassisted"
stn?

But, thanks for the YT QSO at the start of the contest on some unknown
frequency, Jay.

73,
Dennis, K2SX

Message-ID: <86.22e67104.2af99f82@aol.com>

Good points, but not the main problem..CW is dying.  A majority of the guys 
get up to 5 wpm just to get on ssb and then seldom if ever use the code.  
Check the checks that you received...not many in the 90s or 00s.  There were 
a surprisingly large number in the 40s and 50s. This is not the case on ssb.

Cw will always be around, just like AM is.  It will eventually be in the same 
class as AM...nostalgic.  This is not a condemnation of cw, just an 
observation.

The ARRL and the FCC have sealed the fate of cw with the 5 code speed.  Back 
in the old days (the 60s and 70s), there was a place for novices (the novice 
bands) to work up to the 13 wpm which is sort of adequate for contesting.  
When someone got into the prime frequencies for contesting they had code 
experience and  might have even had some experience with contesting.  
Remember the novice roundup?  How many of us made our first contest qso there 
at 5 wpm or maybe even the speed demon rate of 10 wpm?

Nowadays, the guys have no place to build up speed.  KG4XYZ upgrades to 
general and all around him, even when contests are not going on, everyone is 
going at least 15 wpm.  Do you remember how your hand shook and how it was so 
hard to copy your first qsos at 5 wpm?  Now think what it is like make your 
first qso at 15 wpm, or worse yet, try to contest.  It's intimidating as 
hell.  Most of the guys, even if they are motivated, would be scared.

I don't have the answer.  I wish I did.  My main love is ssb contesting, but 
I would like to see new blood in the cw tests too.   Maybe we need a 'radar' 
cw contest...one in which speeds were limited to 15 wpm or less

I have operated /7 from WY the past two Sweeps.  I do this because I want
to get an extra station on from a rare section.  Well, OK it used to be
rare and difficult to work.  Since I am doing this portable and I am an
avid QRPer I do this in the Q class which adds one more level of difficulty.
And having portable antennas is just one more stake through the heart.  :-)

This year

K7QO  Q   552Qs  77sections (NL, QC and NWT missed)  85,008 points


1.  I took the /7 out of the call this year as Tree's program removed it 
last year.

2.  I put up antennas in 15 degree F to 0 degrees wx on 
Friday.  Brrrrr.  No wonder
      WY is rare.  :-)  And a foot of snow to boot.  Lander, WY in Fremont 
County.
      I took down the antennas at sunrise on Monday in -15F cold.

3.  Thanks to KL7XX (AK) who called me on Sunday afternoon.
      Thanks to K1PQS (ME) who called me on Sunday afternoon.
      Thanks to VE1ZJ (MAR) who called me on Sunday afternoon.

4.  On code speeds and newbies.

      a.  I was averaging 28wpm.  On Sunday I slowed down to 16wpm to get
           one Q when I was in the S&P mode.  We all had to start some where.
           It is easy to forget that.  (Look up my RUFZ score on the web.)

      b.  I make an MP3 CD for practicing.  It has 1600 valid Qs and runs from
          20wpm to 35wpm.  Takes about 10+ hours to run through.  I sell this
          puppy for $20, but I will give it to any newbie if you send me 
his/her
          call.   They just need a computer or walkman MP3 player that can
          handle ISO9660 f/s.

       c.  I'd call SS one of the toughest CW contests.  It has a long exchange
            and don't even think about changing it.  It is the best test of CW
            skills in any contest I know.  It is a sequence of random code
            groups, but you know where the numbers are gonna be, the mixed
            letter/number groups, ....  Get the newbie to practice with RUFZ
            and get to at least 20wpm regularly on copying random calls.

5.  I never had a contest mentor, but wish I did have one.  There is some 
thing that
      I am doing wrong as 95,000 is my highest score in Q class.  One thing
      that I noticed in CQ mode on Sunday when I could grab a frequency.
      I'd go 2 mins without an answer then get 3 calls.  I'd pick one and 
when I
      was through I'd wait for the other 2 but they were gone.  Why?  When I'm
      out gunned on the bands that I did not have a good antenna  (in 
S&P)  I'd wait in
      line up to their 3 Qs and then move.  Is this the wrong 
approach?  Maybe I am
      TOO patient?  I never got the pileups like VY1JA when I called CQ.  :-)
      Weak stations don't mean they are far away......

5.  Funny story.  You'd be surprised by the amount of time during the contest
      I lose due to two situations.  a.  The guy would take an extra few 
seconds
      thanking me for WY.  b.  Guys asking for a confirmation on WY.  :-)  Like
      WY isn't on the section list on the computer screen?  Like I made it up?
      And this from stations with over 850 Qs.

6.   Second funny story.  On 10m Sunday afternoon.  Try busting the pileups
       on VY1JA and VO1MP running only 400mW!!!  Can't be done.  Long story.



This year was fun for me.  Last year was a bad location and high noise levels.
Next year a contest station may be available for me to operate in WY......

dit dit

P.S.  Will contest for food...... :-)

 I'd be happy to contribute some writing if a Webmeister would step forward 
to put the site together. I'm sure there are others out there with audio 
clips, photos, etc.

Are you thinking along the lines of a multimedia "Intro to CW 
Contesting?"
What do you have in mind?  What would be the scope of the web resource?

We have to remember now the speed is only 5 wpm to get a
license.  Can you imagine trying to operate CWSS at 5 wpm?  At
least before, it was 13 wpm and it was a little more reasonable
to expect that someone could copy 15 or so.

I'll contribute all the MP3 files that you'd ever need to practice on.  All 
that is needed is a lot of
disc space.  The problem with SS is that you need the call to start off the 
exchange.  We all
use this to focus on the frequency and the speed for the exchange and to 
block QRM.

Another idea, but not cheap.  At Dayton there was a company that was using 
a receiver and
a video recorder to record 80 KHz of a contest.  Elecraft at their booth at 
Pacificon had a K2
with the same setup using an MP3 recorder to demo 40KHz bandwidth of a 
contest.  How
about recording contests like SS over a wide range and then having people 
use it to get
a feel for the contest.  I know that I could learn from such a setup and 
you could study
individuals (both the good, the bad, and the ugly) and their techniques and 
adapt to a
better way of operating.  This could easily be done by clubs with funding 
to bring in new
guys and girls to keep the membership up.

And you remember the DrDX program simulation?  I may have the name wrong as 
it was
decades ago for that software and the Commodore computer.  There are a few 
computer
simulation programs like PED and RUFZ, but there is probably a need for 
more contest
specific software to be written.

I agree Bill, and you hit the spot when you say that there are few
opportunities out there to begin using cw.  I can still remember my first
novice qso and I have the qsl to prove it.  On the qsl,  the station I was
working states something such as "If I could get my hands on you right now,
I would chop your head off!"  Now that's even a little worse than "go away".
But no problem,  I knew that I was a real novice and hadn't practiced the
code since I took the test (probably about 2 months earlier when it took a
while for the FCC to get around to assigning calls).  So he was right,  I
was a terrible cw operator,  but I enjoyed talking to people and I found
things like Worked All States and novice roundup and before I went for my
conditional (I lived in the boonies) I could copy well over 20 wpm.  I
missed North Dakota for my WAS and I can't remember where I ended up in
novice roundup,  but my call was there somewhere.  So I had the opportunity
to grow with others that had the same growing pains as I.  I'm not sure if I
was placed into todays enviroment as a beginner that I would ever learn CW
very well because I learned by doing rather than 'practicing'.   I did
enough of that on my trumpet!

So let's face the facts,  there will always be some that have the discipline
to go that extra mile to learn the code even though it wasn't necessary,
but they are going to be few and far between.  Enjoy the light of CW while
we can because as Bill stated,  someday it will be like AM at the top of 10
meters.

Good points, but not the main problem..CW is dying.  A majority of the guys
get up to 5 wpm just to get on ssb and then seldom if ever use the code.
Check the checks that you received...not many in the 90s or 00s.  There were
a surprisingly large number in the 40s and 50s. This is not the case on ssb.

Cw will always be around, just like AM is.  It will eventually be in the
same
class as AM...nostalgic.  This is not a condemnation of cw, just an
observation.

The ARRL and the FCC have sealed the fate of cw with the 5 code speed.  Back
in the old days (the 60s and 70s), there was a place for novices (the novice
bands) to work up to the 13 wpm which is sort of adequate for contesting.
When someone got into the prime frequencies for contesting they had code
experience and  might have even had some experience with contesting.
Remember the novice roundup?  How many of us made our first contest qso
there
at 5 wpm or maybe even the speed demon rate of 10 wpm?

Nowadays, the guys have no place to build up speed.  KG4XYZ upgrades to
general and all around him, even when contests are not going on, everyone is
going at least 15 wpm.  Do you remember how your hand shook and how it was
so
hard to copy your first qsos at 5 wpm?  Now think what it is like make your
first qso at 15 wpm, or worse yet, try to contest.  It's intimidating as
hell.  Most of the guys, even if they are motivated, would be scared.

I don't have the answer.  I wish I did.  My main love is ssb contesting, but
I would like to see new blood in the cw tests too.   Maybe we need a 'radar'
cw contest...one in which speeds were limited to 15 wpm or less

I got a different message than that from most of the 'public' discussion
(maybe your private email had a different tone) I saw.  (I'll also concede
that each persons understanding of the same message may be filtered by their
own mindset on a topic.)

In any case, my take on a 'concensus' is that 'slowbies' are indeed welcome,
but they're likely to need to 'precopy/postcopy' a lot, and perhaps this
effort will be the training that moves them up out of the 'slowbie' ranks. 
(Presuming they have that goal.)

I've listened attentively to a few CW contests, and even recorded  short
sessions on my laptop... but it sounds like what is sent is garbage..and I
reckon I have mostly 100% copy... Maybe I simply have no idea of the
abbreviations/codes used.  Passing any CW exam is easy.. but contest stuff
??

Is there any place where a real actual exchange is written down clearly so
I can simply duplicate it ?     Maybe I need to track down who has done
this CW thing before...

My personal rule is if I do not receive confirmation of any Contest QSO,
even if I've sent my exchange - its out of my log....  I wiped out 56 QSO's
out of my CQWW SSB log...

Can we keep the unnecessary and inaccurate ARRL bashing out of this?
Especially since the League was AGAINST the across-the-board reduction in
code speed?  Give it a rest already... I'm as disappointed as the next guy
that the FCC chose to do what they did, but they did it, and we have to live
with it -- continued kvetching is pointless.

And maybe I'm wrong, but didn't the FISTS revive the Novice Roundup after
the League dropped it due to lack of activity?

Hmm,
I even have a name for post-mult SS. Ragchewing.

Is SS an SO2R contest? I don't think so. Sure, people do SO2R. It's a great
contest to practise SO2R, particularly on Sunday. But when you have a
relatively small, fixed number of multipliers, the benefits of SO2R are not
as great as in, say, WW or WPX, which for everybody have unattainable
maximum amounts of multipliers. You can, in contests like that, pick up
mults you wouldn't otherwise have with SO2R. It's hard to say the same for
SS.

In SS, any Q that you pick up on Saturday on the second radio is one more
non-Q adding to the Sunday doldrums. It is also a contest, as K0HB says,
where "mults happen." There's really only a handful you need to work for.

I think the fact that there are an attainable number of multipliers adds to
the charm of SS. That one station faces what some consider unmanageable
pileups does not, in my view, warrant a significant change in the fun factor
for the rest of us. I mean no disrespect to anyone when I say that, but
there is another station in a section almost as rare as YT who does seem to
manage huge pileups on both modes quite well.

The Sweep is also a goal that stations can set if they know they aren't
going to be Top 10.

SS is fine the way it is. I think our efforts would be better spent on
helping those with unruly pileups learn more effective techniques for pileup
control.

Pileups in DX contests can be as big or bigger than any faced by any one
station in SS. After all, in WW, everybody is working everybody. I wonder
what it's like to be a rare South Pacific station when paths are open to
Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas at once. Do we propose to eliminate
mults in those contests as well, so nobody has to face a big pileup?

I also think the concerns expressed about pileups were less about the size
of the pileup and more about the attitude displayed by some people in the
pileup.

While it doesn't teach you strategy, the simulator in TrLog is fantastic for
getting one up to speed with the SS exchange.  Any speed.

Unfortunately, even Tree's magic can't prevent one's going brain-dead on
Sunday afternoon.  I found myself counting dots a couple
times..."Lessee...di-di-dah-dit....that's...uh...oh yeah, 'L'....no,

Hi Chuck et al

TRLog has a great simulator in it.  I spend lots of time playing
with that one.  I like to crank it up to about 45 wpm and just
see how many I can work at that speed.  It's fun to see the rate
meter climb up to 250 or 300 :-)  I'd recommend that to anyone
who is trying to learn how to do a CW contest.  73

There aren't more hams than ever in the USA...

The totals have been stagnant for two years (max was in March 2001), and in the 
three years before that the overall increase was only 1%.   
http://WWW.AH0A.ORG/FCC/Licenses.html

Worldwide, ham radio growth is minimal also.   The most recent published IARU 
figures are from 2000 and show an increase of only 1000 hams out of 2.99 
million... and only about 1% growth from 1995 to 2000.

I agree about the need for speed.

However, there is a place for even the most 'novice' contest entrant.  But,
the novice has to be made aware that he/she is getting into a real
horserace.

When I started sailboat racing, there was no 'beginner's' fleet.  I was
thrust into the full-up start with the rest of those who had varying degrees
of greater expertise than I.  And, yes, it was frightening.  But, I
eventually overcame it and won some cups, platters, candy dishes, etc.
(which my ex-mother-in-law subsequently sold at a garage sale when her
daughter and I divorced.).

Geez, guys, people have to start somewhere.

One guy throws in the towel (or puts his key back in the box) and suddenly
we are all at fault.

Get

A

Grip


There are certain realities that must be accepted: SS is not for the meek.

If someone wants to contest or you want someone to contest, let him/her get
their feet wet in NAQP or a state QSO Party or two.

I don't know if it worked or not, but I sent Ward's note (twice, it turned
out: I needed to modify the operating times to CST) to all the ARRL
affiliated clubs in Texas on Friday.

I went to the ARRL webpage (http://www.arrl.org) and clicked on clubs.  I
selected TX as the search field ofr ARRL-affiliated clubs.  I selected and
copied all the clubs and pasted them into Notepad.  I then opened Excel and
imported the .txt file containing the clubs listing.

I then wrote a VBA macro to delete all lines not containing an e-mail
address, remove the "E-mail: " in that field and  concantenate the addresses
into one field (line).

I then copied 25 e-mail addresses at a time from that line and pasted them
into an e-mail BCC field.  I copied and pasted Ward's text into the e-mail
message and sent it.

I have no idea how effective that exercise was.  I didn't get any feedback
from anyone about whether the addressees (indicated as points-of-contact for
the clubs) even redistributed the note to their members, so, who knows who
saw it.

Friends,

Thank you for your support concerning the ARRL Sweepstakes CW Contest.  I
will be on during the SS Phone contest with my Omni-V.  It is working
perfectly thanks to the efforts of the efforts of  Ten-Tec Service.  I was
walked through servicing it myself via e-mail.  I have owned other rigs and
never had this kind of service before.

When Scott, W4PA, Ten-Tec's Sales Manager, heard of my problems during
CW-SS, he extended the offer of a loan of a Jupiter, to make sure that I was
on the air for phone SS.  He then asked Ten-Tec's Service Manager, Paul,
WD4EBR to assist me with repairs, which Paul did.  Scott's offer of the
loaner was to be a backup in case the repair work failed, but with Paul's
help we were able to get the Omni-V fixed before the shipping deadline for
the Jupiter.

The loader work is done, my health has returned, and I am free now that the
rig is working, to get that beam up and the rotator under it.  Wish me good
weather.

If I consider the volume of received e-mail as a voting medium of the
"contester's rules committee", the following is in perfect order:

Watch for me at my MUF before the contest finding a clear frequency on or
near ?27, ?37 or ?17.

:o)

Let's have fun in a little over a week, and expect a number of VY1's as well
as VY0AAA with a small apartment operation.  Bob, VY1MB, and I are each
planning serious efforts, so VY1 should be VERY easy to find... now what
about WY, MT, and NL?

I been holding back...and it ain't been easy!

Ya' know in the past day or two this thread about how some unknown guy 
SUPPOSEDLY unpacked his key and tried to work SS but got disgusted so he 
put it back in to the box and into the closet...well its hooey in my 
opinion.

This is no different than the same crud I hear all day long on the cable 
news programs - about how Americans should feel sorry for causing other 
countries to act in a viscous and inhuman manor towards us in the Mean 
Olde USA and golly gosh it must be our fault as Americans that they do 
these terrible things...

GET REAL

This guy is not a CW op, he can barely copy CW and you believe that 
someone told him to "go awy" - I wonder if he could copy that much CW. 
 He will show us though he is not going to operate CW so there...someone 
tell to take his ball and go home.

a) I do not believe this person exists but is a figment of someone's 
imagination designed to voice a point of view without them having to say 
that they cannot handle SS CW because it is too fast.

b) I made over 1300 contacts this weekend and NOT ONCE was I asked to 
QRS.  There was one station high in the band who I called over and over 
again on Sunday lowering my speed 4 WPM at a time his response was 
clearly embarassment as I know I am loud into his area - he paniced.


Does this mean we need to change CW contests?  HELL NO!  This is one of 
the few times we get to exercise our gray cells!  If a CW contest is too 
hard for you - and you have tried going high up in the band so you are 
the highest frequency participant and you call CQ, and you have asked 
others to QRS (that means slow down) and still have no luck my guess is 
you are not transmitting on the same frequency as you are listening.

Does this mean you, the nebie, give up on contesting, no - you get 
comfortable with the code first - how do you do that USE IT FOR CHRIST 
SAKE!  Don't take the key out of the closet on contest weekends and 
expect that since it sitting on the operating table you are given 
copying ability!

I refuse to believe a contester would not slow down for a slower guy - 
scores depend on making QSOs, if you throw away that QSO you are a jerk.

I feel bad for all you guys who got sucked into this crap - then again, 
most of this audience is the easily impressioned American one which gets 
all its knowledge from the boob tube...therefore it must be true!

New CW ops - work on your CW....

Contesters - don't buy into this Politically Correct crap....

REMEMBER ANYTHING WORTH DOING, IS WORTH DOING WELL...and that does not 
mean it is necessarliy easy to do - when you do learn it however you 
will feela sense of pride having mastered something that you had to work 
for.

Contesting is not for cry babies, or guys who blame others for all their 
short comings!

I'll have to admit that I let myself get in a bad frame
of mind durring CW SS and spent a lot of time 
doing other things. I'm not a 5 wpm extra. I passed
my 20 wpm test back in 86. But, I didn't use cw
much after that. I even had about a 5 year period
where I didn't even own a rig or operate. Who is
to blame for that? Must be that guy I see in the
mirror every day.

I am no cw whiz period, but I also am too stuborn
to lay down and give up. My Plan A was to go
high in the band and call CQ at 20 wpm. I thought
that most would answer at that speed. Some did,
and some didn't. Well, here's another mistake I
made. I should have sent QRS instead of hitting
F9 on TRLog to send the "?".  Looking back, 
another mistake I made. 

Contests like the ARRL 160 are a lot easier for me,
since the exchange is really short. SS requires
one to be more "on the ball" then any other
contest due to the longer exchange. I did use the
TR simulator some, and felt I was doing halfway
decent, not great, but not terrible, running it at
around 24-26 wpm. Well, all well and good, but
perfect code, with no background noise, no qrm
no qrn is quite a bit different then when you go
to the rig. 

The "wait and get the info, then call" idea is fine.
I should have done more of that. The only problem
with that is, if the station you want to work is 
cq'ing and not getting any response, then you
have a problem because you can spend a lot
of time there waiting. When I ran into this
situation, with guys going probably 30 wpm+
I would send my call at around 20 and I assumed
they would send the exchange close to my 
speed. And yes, I did have the call of the
station before calling.  Well, my mistake
here was assuming that station would come
down to my level. Well, looking back on that
technique, that means I was assuming that
operator could read my mind. Well, that is
not always going to work. Some did, and I
appreciate that. But, I don't feel the stations
that came back at high speeds were in the
wrong. Again, I could have used QRS and
more then likely, they would have sent the
exchange slower. Again, my mistake.

Well, I could whine and blame the other guy
and never try another CW SS again. But, I
have another plan. Buy a set of paddles
(I've relied on the pc for all my sending)
and get on the air a lot more often. 
Yes, I'm sure I'll make a lot of mistakes
before I get the hang of using them. And 
I'll no doubt be going slow, at least until 
I learn to use them. Sure, I'll use the pc
durring most of the contest, but there
are times when it would be easier to
just use the paddles instead of taking
the time to put the program in keyboard
mode. 

Does this mean next year I'll do better? 
Well, I hope so, but, even if it doesn't, I'm
sure I'll feel better about it, since I'm not
going to do what I did this year, and that
is get frustrated and quit. I was mad at
myself, and beat myself menatally. I'm
going to work at becoming a better cw
op because it's just not in my nature to
give up. If I said "well, cw at contesting
speeds, just isn't my thing", then that
would mean I would be giving up and 
only operating half the contests. Naw,
that isn't going to happen. Time go get
in gear and do my best to improve. I 
hope otthers that struggled this weekend
feel the same way.

Right-o. You ever see a MLB pitcher slow up his fast ball for a rookie
batter? Nope. If he did, the rookie would never learn to hit in the
big-league.

My software allows me to enter the call as part of the exchange (which it
is) so I don't appear to need the call to start off the exchange.  Am I

I just got the latest Rate Sheet from ARRL, and my heart jumped when I saw
the following announcement:

"Worked All Europe DX Contest - CW - sponsored by the Deutscher ARC,
0000Z Nov 9 -  2400Z Nov 10."

HOT STUFF!  I thought the only WAE contest was in August, when propagation
was at its worst for the year.  But a new fall version...fantastic!  Then I
became concerned when I saw there would also be the OK/OM DX Contest this
weekend, overlapping WAE CW by 24 hours.  That has the potential for major
confusion, far worse than RAC/SP on 160 in the winter.  But after writing
down all the relevant data from the Rate Sheet, I thought I'd do a quick
check on the DARC page and see if this was indeed the first running of a
fall WAE.

Bad news...the Pyallup Tribe of Indians are NOT going to be a new DXCC
country...and the WAE contest this weekend is RTTY, not CW.  Too bad.  So to
anybody else out there who thought there was going to be a red hot WAE on
this weekend...forget it.  The Rate Sheet is flat wrong.

SS most definitely is a SO2R contest, but for a different reason than WPX.  

Yes, mults are not as important in this contest, but even a big gun station 
in FL is going to have a tough time finding a VI or PR station since we are 
looking away from them the whole contest.  I can't afford to bust up an 80 to 
100 hour S/Ping for one unless I have the machine going on a run frequency.  

The main reason it is an SO2R contest is that you start to run out of guys 
the second day.  In the last SSB SS my second radio was good for around 
100-150 qsos.  Maybe I would have worked them anyway.  Who knows.  I 
certainly am not talented enough on Saturday when I am running 120 per hour 
to use a second radio, but it sure makes a big difference on Sunday.

Sounds like you're off to a pretty good understanding of how SS CW
works.  It strikes me as incredible that any serious SS CW competitor
wouldn't do anything possible (within the rules) to squeeze out
every makeable contact - and slowing the code speed down is the
easiest and most obvious one out there.   Look at the logjam at
the top 20 HP claimed scores this weekend.  A small number of
contacts really made a difference this time - and does many times
in SS CW.  

After the first 6 hours of SS, I didn't call CQ once above 30 WPM.
I made many, many CQ calls at 22 to 24 WPM.  I made a number of
contacts
in the 13 to 17 WPM range either answering their CQ sent at that speed
or in response to a 'slow-coder' calling me.  I often dialed the
code speed down to below the speed I was called at to make sure the
other guy got it right the first time.  After all, getting it once
at 17 WPM is the same as me sending it twice at 34!

W2SR, get on and call CQ at 15 WPM at 21.097 or wherever.  I'll be
HAPPY to QSO you at that speed in SS and will stick with it until
you get my exchange.  Vice versa, if you can figure out my callsign
from a higher speed CQ and dump your call over to me at 15 WPM I'll
dial it down fast to make sure I work you.  Even if it's near the 
start of the contest.

The WAE contest is supposed to be RTTY, not CW.

Calm down, Jim. The answer is even more basic. 

Where did most of us learn our CW skills? Pushing the envelope in SS and CD 
Parties! We only grow by continually challenging our skills.

Jim, and others,

Nice to see someone express this side.  Contesting is
a sport, and you have to have the necessary skills to
compete, and one of those skills is CW (for a cw
contest).  CW skills are learned by practice, and it
is possible to learn to copy 30 wpm or more
(regardless of what the ARRL and FCC believe).  At one
time 20 WPM CW proficiency was required to operate in
certain parts of the CW band.  Now that you can get an
extra class license with 5 wpm skill, don't expect
everyone on the CW bands to be running at 5 wpm.  

Jim, you are exactly right about needing to USE cw to
get your code speed up.  When I was a novice (before
the ARRL killed that license in favor of the shack on
a belt) I wanted to upgrade to general.  I tried code
tapes, and failed the CW exam.  How did I finally pass
the 13 WPM (no I didn't wait until 2000 and get
grandfathered in), I got on the air and made CW QSOs! 
After doing that for around a year, I received a 25
WPM code certificate at the 1982 ARRL convention, and
that was before I even upgraded.  

Yes it would be nice if we all slowed down for
everyone who calls us, and I try to do that, but you
need to have perspective on your skills and maybe work
on them.  I don't have the loudest signal on the band
by any stretch of the imagination.  In any contest
there will be stations that can't hear me.  Do I take
my rig and go home, and write messages to the
reflector whining about how unfair it is?  Well I
could, or I could figure out how to improve things at
the station to be better heard, and try to learn more
about propogation to improve my chance with certain
areas, or I could be content that I am not going to
work everyone and get over it.

BTW, why is it the big bad US that everyone runs to
when they cannot defend themselves against aggressors?
 We're the bad guys until it comes to liberating
Kuwait, SOuth Korea, or stopping Nazis.

Or maybe to put it another way, the way to make SS Sundays relatively 
productive and enjoyable is to have one radio running at all times and then 
S&P like crazy, because there are people who only come on to call CQ, and 
others who only come on to S&P.  I didn't follow my own advice on Sunday 
afternoon, and the score shows it.

Then there are all the cases of serendipitous missing each other that go 
on.  For example K7BG was my 1080; I was his 1175.  I had been really 
sweating MT until just shortly before because we'd obviously been on 
different bands or CQing at the same times or somethin'.

After reading yesterday's "Rate Sheet", CW enthusiasts may have had a momentary 
vision of Utopia with the Rate Sheet reporting a second CW version of both 
Sweepstakes and WAE.  Sorry for the false euphoria, folks.  Phone enthusiasts 
will now suspect me of being a closet CW elitist bent on world mode domination. 
 Well, maybe :-)

I would love to blame my egregious error on some obscure Microsoft bug, but it 
was due purely to editorial inattention during cut-and-paste operations - 
better known as "My Fault!"

Bulletin...

1) Nov 9-10 is the RTTY weekend for WAE - not CW.
2) It's PHONE Sweepstakes on the 16th and 17th - not CW.

Apologies to all!

I'm still a kind of new to this contest. I've been participating in this
contest for only 4 recent years and I LOVE IT. If you are taking part in the
contest only to use your (pardon me) finger, pressing F1 all the way then
this contest is definitely not for you. IMHO this is the contest where you
have to use your skills and brain - you have to determine where and when to
run, you have to use your S&P skills when it slows down. I even love
Sunday's slowdown. It gives you a kind of chance to catch all those
F1-guys...if you are good enough in S&Ping... You don't even need KW's and
huge stacks for this contest...And the format is great as well as the rules.
If it really slows down I know I can go up the frequency, reduce my speed
and work slow guys...There are always new guys up there...
So please, don't make any changes to this wonderful contest... Just try to
participate. Sometimes I see there are much more talks than on-the-air
activity...

With best regards,

Bruce --

I too got all excited about the WAE CW and also about being able to run CW
SS again during the November 16 weekend.  Both were untrue -- darn! Sent
Ward an e-mail.

I just got the latest Rate Sheet from ARRL, and my heart jumped when I saw
the following announcement:

"Worked All Europe DX Contest - CW - sponsored by the Deutscher ARC,
0000Z Nov 9 -  2400Z Nov 10."

HOT STUFF!  I thought the only WAE contest was in August, when propagation
was at its worst for the year.  But a new fall version...fantastic!  Then I
became concerned when I saw there would also be the OK/OM DX Contest this
weekend, overlapping WAE CW by 24 hours.  That has the potential for major
confusion, far worse than RAC/SP on 160 in the winter.  But after writing
down all the relevant data from the Rate Sheet, I thought I'd do a quick
check on the DARC page and see if this was indeed the first running of a
fall WAE.

Bad news...the Pyallup Tribe of Indians are NOT going to be a new DXCC
country...and the WAE contest this weekend is RTTY, not CW.  Too bad.  So to
anybody else out there who thought there was going to be a red hot WAE on
this weekend...forget it.  The Rate Sheet is flat wrong.

Message-ID: <3DC964E4.3040707@tampabay.rr.com>

man o man o man do I disagree with the following:

VE4XT wrote:

Is SS an SO2R contest? I don't think so. Sure, people do SO2R. It's a great
contest to practise SO2R, particularly on Sunday. But when you have a
relatively small, fixed number of multipliers, the benefits of SO2R are not
as great as in, say, WW or WPX, which for everybody have unattainable
maximum amounts of multipliers. 


SS is ALL about maximizing QSO count.... (my multiplier thread was last 
week) ... During the last half of SS I would feel confident to say that 
close to half my QSOs were on the second radio!  You just plain start 
running out of guys when you are running - but you cannot afford to miss 
one who shows up during halftime of the football game - so you gotta CQ 
- but all that time you better be tuning for new ones on the other 
bands...  

While he has not posted his score yet, I am hazarding a guess that WP3R 
will be first or second in SS....  I had not called him - but had lined 
my rig up on the second radio to call him as his QRS CQ's were going 
unanswered - funny thing is HE CALLED ME before I could mash F4 on the 
second computer!  I do not know fer sure but I bet all but mebbe one of 
the top ten finishers in SS CW will have been using SO2R - which allows 
you to "push" the emvelope of QSO count as hard as you can. If you are 
noth running and S&Ping at the same time - well - you are maximizing 
your brains potential to make QSOs appear in your log!

SO2R also works much better (for me anyway) in SS due to the long 
exchange - you get more wiggle room as far as timing calling the other 
station and call literally adjuct you CQing to time out at the same 
moent as the other guy does his....and when you call him on radio two 
and he comes back - you return to CQing on radio one while he is sending 
you his exchange...etc....  it is a little bit like juggling flaming 
torches but it sure keeps you aware of what you might have missed, too!

SO2R is mandatory in SS - I would encourage guys who may not have the 
potential for two full stations to consider it for next year even if it 
means the second rig is barefoot and you are in B class... even if it is 
only a trap vertical on that second rig - until you take that time you 
spend CQing and use it for something practical you do not realise how 
much of a waste of time listening to your computer send your CQ 
flawlessly several thousand times during the weekend is!

After reading yesterday's "Rate Sheet", CW enthusiasts may have had a
momentary vision of Utopia with the Rate Sheet reporting a second CW
version of both Sweepstakes and WAE.  Sorry for the false euphoria,
folks.  Phone enthusiasts will now suspect me of being a closet CW
elitist bent on world mode domination.  Well, maybe :-)

I would love to blame my egregious error on some obscure Microsoft bug,
but it was due purely to editorial inattention during cut-and-paste
operations - better known as "My Fault!"

Bulletin...

1) Nov 9-10 is the RTTY weekend for WAE - not CW.
2) It's PHONE Sweepstakes on the 16th and 17th - not CW.

Apologies to all!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Contesting - Open or Closed?
Message-ID: <00ef01c285ca$fa836bc0$27d7fea9@mirage>

To run with the Big Dogs - you can't be a puppy, pull yourself up by your 
bootstraps, and all that.  Admirable, true, and good personal advice for 
improving your contesting success.

But...

I must point out that contesting is quite unique a sport in that the success of 
the competitors depends entirely on the ability to connect with as many other 
participants as possible.  And not only other participants, but 
non-participants.  Certainly an auto race can not open the gates to every 
possible participant in every event - but radio contesting depends on doing 
just that. No one has to pre-register or qualify to play - just show up and be 
welcomed, right?

The success of the sport depends on its open-ness and easy access.  We should 
not over-react to a poor experience by one or two, nor should the behavior of a 
couple knotheads reflect poorly on us all.  Yet, having a healthy sport means 
more than publishing the rules and an email address for logs and saying, "Take 
it or leave it".  There have been several good ideas put forth as to how to 
educate and attract contesters.  I hope some of them are widely implemented.

To a large degree, however, the methods by which we conduct ourselves on the 
air is the primary window by which others view and form opinions of the sport.  
Outreach is THE challenge to the contest community over the coming solar 
doldrums - not amplifiers, cheating, packet spotting, or log formats.  Outreach 
is required to the casual and non-contesters - even anti-contesters - to keep 
the sport healthy.  We have a great opportunity at present with super 
conditions and participation in many contests at record levels.

Let's not blow it in our urge to be competitive with one another.

73, Ward N0AX

I hope this is not too far afield for the group. A friend has a ts940s 
with a CW problem. While receiving CW (with or without 500hz filters) 
there is a 'tone' on all the time. He says it sounds like a BFO type 
tone bleeding through. The tone is present on all bands and is very 
audible when listening on just a dummy load. The tone does not appear to 
'beat'against signals. If anyone on the list has had any experience with 
this problem please e-mail me. We have checked the Kenwood service 
bulletins and find nothing resembling this problem.

Chuck:

Thanks for the QSO.  I was guest op at W4AN.

Not everyone who uses a bug has trouble sending numbers correctly.  You
can't know who is using computer generated CW or just using an
electronic keyer. The computer generated numbers are at least as
unreliable as the ones sent by an electronic keyer.  In some programs,
if you ENTER the QSO before giving a fill, the fill sends the NEXT QSO
number, not the one that you intended to send.  If you are not
listening, you will not catch and correct the error.  The guy with the
electronic keyer (or bug) will NOT make that mistake.  I am pretty sure
that I had two guys give me the wrong number because of that very
problem...I asked for a confirmation or correction and they sent me the
number after the one they had originally sent, but both insisted that
the second number was correct....so what can you do but log the later
number?

You worry too much.  Those guys will probably not send logs in and no
one will lose the QSOs.  Or they will send in a paper log that won't be
used for cross checking.  Even then, if you lose the QSO, you lose the
QSO.  There is no penalty as there is for a NOT IN LOG claimed QSO.  So,
you lose nothing by making and logging the QSO.

I have been told that, in at least one contest, the logging software
does not kick out QSO numbers that are off by only one number, apprently
because of the computer problem I mentioned previously.  (This was not
ARRL SS.)

We do this for fun.  Let's keep it that way.

Jim's humor is very entertaining, but on Sundat afternoon in SS after
a 2 hour break, I just could not copy the code..I doubt I could have
gotten my own call at 5 wpm. Took another break, and things were
better,,

I'm just wondering if this is common?

John, K4BAI, makes a very good point and one that I had not thought of, e.g.
the computer sends one higher number than it should be.  There is also the
other side of that problem.  In most programs if there is no info in the
"Call" column, it sends the previous QSO number or one less than it should
be.  This can happen if you miss the call and are waiting for it to be sent
again or even if you have just fallen behind becuz you can't type at 200
QSOs per hour.  If you are receiving this info and have not been listening
to the station sending for a while, you would never know that the number
sent was in error.  And, in many cases, the sending operator is totally
unaware that the computer just sent a wrong number because he's busy trying
to type in the missing call.  I think the checking computer is totally right
to allow a QSO number plus or minus one without penality.

When I received my copy of the Rate Sheet & saw that this weekend's JIDX SSB
contest was split into high & low band weekends - on the same weekend as
WAE CW - it sounded too good to be true... a proper reason not to do JIDX SSB,
not to attend SEANET conventions (which seem to always fall on this weekend)
& why I could forever bow out of pitching in providing comms for HK's biggest
charity event without feeling guilty.

Dan,

I'm not a Kenwood expert (although I do own a TS-850 for contest-expeditions).

Doesn't the TS-940 have a button (I think it's called TF-Set) that 
generates a tone on CW to spot against?  OTOH I may be remembering a mod 
from K1GQ for the TS-930 to make the TF-Set button to do such a function.

My FT-1000Ds have such a button and it is very useful.

73,

Dave/K8CC

Like Earthlink and many other servers around here, the Crosslink/Alpha

I don't understand the phenomena completely, but we finally gave up on NV7A. 
Statistically, when S&P'ing on CW, about one in four stations either missed 
the call the first time, copied it as N4ZA or asked for a repeat on the 
State.

So, here goes another grand experiment. As of today, NACHO (Nevada Ass'n of 
Contest Highland Operators) is now W7TTT. We'll see how often it becomes W7O 
in CQ CW. In SS Phone, it will be W7 Tic Tac Toe.

Damn OJ, you shoulda held back.  Excuse me while I piss flaming napalm all
over your strawman.

N0FP is a friend of mine, an enthusiastic new contester, an accomplished CW
operator, a contributing member of Minnesota Wireless Association, and
something of an "evangalist" for everything related to ham radio.

To put the lie to your accusation the he "cannot handle SS CW because it is
too fast", Ford put together a 100K+ SOLP SS CW effort last weekend. 
(Something like 700 Q's and a Sweep, if memory serves.) That may not be "top
10", but it ain't too shabby for a first effort at SSCW.  

I mentioned earlier that Ford is something of an evangalist. (That's a "Good
Thing (tm)" by the way.)  So, while I don't agree with all of Ford's
conclusions on this matter, I am 100% certain that Ford did in fact coerce
some unsuspecting newbie into trying SSCW.  And I further believe that the
results of that disaster are something similar to what Ford describes.  

Now we can have all sorts of highminded discussion about Fords' reaction to
his friends experience, but accusing Ford of making it all up to voice a point
of view is simply a cheap shot, and unworthy of a topnotch guy like you.  You
owe Ford an apology.

John,

I don't necessarily agree with the thrust of the message from Ford, but he
damn sure wasn't whining about "unfair".  He was trying to make a point as he
saw it.  No we may see it differently, but sarcasm and accusing him of making
up stories to voice his view as waaaaaaaaaaaaay out of line.

Maybe some of you missed it, but N6TR operated from the mostly broken
(thank Lilly) W5WMU station this past weekend as QRP.  Results:

Total: 1105  Sections = 79  Total Score = 174,432

He bested superman N5TJ's record from 1997 when Jeff managed to beat the
old record by more than 37K (that is 181 QSOs).  Tree managed to work more
than 50 more QSO's than Jeff did in 1997.  At one point when I dropped in
to see how John was doing at my station, the only comment he made was
that N6TR was only (I believe) 30 QSOs behind him operating with 1500w!  

Oh, I also think Pat also deserves a lot of credit for getting the station
patched back together for Tree.  I don't have all the details of what he
accomplished in just a few days, but maybe Tree can fill us in.

Great score OM!  Hopefully nobody will feel compelled to fly to KP4 to
prove how much better they are than you.  ;)

Before this goes any further...everybody sit tight!

I am the one who has "accused" N0FP of making up this guy...this is my 
feeling alone - and should I find out that this story holds water I will 
immediately post a message to this reflector that I appologize to N0FP 
for that charactarization...

I should note that I do appreciate Ford calling me in the SS this past 
weekend, at the that point he hadon Saturday night he had logged 188 
calls in his log so he clearly is NOT incapable of CW contesting!

My gut feeling is that there are not contesters out there who 
deliberately shoot themselves in the foot by telling a calling station 
to "go awy" - I have been told to go away in essence by non-contesters 
wwho I happen to find in heretofore unworked multipliers on any given 
weekend...that is about the only time a contest QSO is turned down!

I have NOT spoken with Ford, and am asking he reply to me directly so we 
can continue this discussion privately...

My reaction is a result of years of watching contesting get watered 
down...too many categories and too little recognition of significant 
achievements put forth by guys from propagationally challenged area, 
etc.  Before this sucker gained a head of steam and someone suggested a 
new category for making their first 100 CW contests contacts I interjected.


SO - EVERYBODY QRX (for you phone guys that means standby)


To K0HB - I gather you know Ford, please tell him to get with me on 
 this, as anyone who reads this reflector knows I am very much so 
pro-contesting...it was not my intention to make this reflector appear 
like the TV commercials of the previous week....

Well, I guess now we can add "liar" to the list of names I've been called
over a rather innocent posting a few days ago Re: Unsportsmanlike?  Hmmm  I
guess it's been about 40 years since somebody stuck their tongue out
at me and exclaimed "liar-liar-pantsonfire!"  She and I were both 6 years
old
at the time -- her name was Susan.

In spite of the generally held belief that SSCW is the "Grand Prix" of CW
contesting, this is not about CW Speed at all.  It is about "Culture."
Contesting
culture.  Ever have a job where the work environment is "caustic?"  A great
job can turn into slavery in no time because the culture is screwed up.
It's no fun to be there.  A caustic culture can happen at work, in churches,
sports teams, political campaigns, families, ham radio contests, and
internet reflectors.

Not all the public and private posts have been so pointedly negative towards
me.  I am but one voice in a sea of voices.  Here is a clip from one very
notable
private and unsolicited response...

> This thread reminded me of why I quit active contesting and sold
everything.

There goes another missed Q...  Only this time, everybody gets to miss it.

There is a very fine line between "man this is fun" and "man this sucks."
It has nothing to do with radio, CW, SSB, RTTY, hardware, skill, or
otherwise.  It has to do with culture.  When it's fun to be there, you can't
keep people away.  When the "fun" is gone, so are the people.

If you want people to come to work in the morning, make it inviting. If you
want contesting to grow, make it inviting.  If you want people to
participate on this reflector, make it inviting.  Otherwise, you will end up
playing with yourself, all by yourself (pun intended).  My original posting
was intended to illustrate only one point.  This culture can be caustic to
newbies.

In OJ's treatise flaming me, he expressed great disdain for Political
Correctness.  The moderator rejected my initial response as being
inappropriate.  Apparently, words starting with F and Y are not permitted
when used together.  So, in an attempt to provide a more politically correct
response, those magic words are not included herein.

Smart move, Tom.  NV6O went the same route, for the same reason.  I 
remember one time calling him in a PHONE NAQP as "N4BO."  There was this 
long silence, and when he came back, he was still laughing, fortunately.

My impression -- ain't hindsight wonderful -- is that the B/6 and V/4 busts 
are particularly common because people have trouble distinguishing 3 dots 
vs 4 at or above their speed limit.  I have occasional problems with being 
heard as NV7R, but even as long as the2X1 calls have been around, I still 
think that 1X2 or 1X3 is more "expected" and therefore people are less 
inclined to bust my call into a 2X1.

I am also interested in Bill's request .  Having a lot of business as well
as relatives in LA, I travel the Houston to New Orleans I-10 route
frequently and always try to get a glimpse of Pat's great antenna farm as I
pass by the Breaux Bridge area.

Headed to New Orleans on Thursday before SSCW weekend as I passed through
the area I was concerned as to what kind of damage Lilli had caused. Going
east I saw nothing -- maybe an 18-wheeler pulled along side or something.
But on Monday going west I could see several towers standing but couldn't
tell if any functioning hardware was still on top and wondered if Tree had
been able to make his annual SS CW trip to Acadiana.  Sounds like enough was
still available to allow him to make a fantastic QRP score.  Of course the
only requirement for that appears to be the proverbial "wet noodle at 30
ft".

A report on the effects of Lilli at W5WMU and Pat's efforts to get it back
in shape for SSCW would be interesting.

T-F Set does not generate a tone.  However, unless RIT or XIT are
engaged then the cw sidetone pitch very acurately reflects the actual

All of the TS940's  I've ever used have this feature to some degree.
It
becomes more obvious as the bands become more quiet -- such as
when you move up to 10 meters at night.  Tighten the CW VBT and
you will peak it.  Put a resistor in series with your headphone leads
and
you might attenuate it to a tolerable level.

Maybe some of you missed it, but N6TR operated from the mostly broken
(thank Lilly) W5WMU station this past weekend as QRP.  Results:

Total: 1105  Sections = 79  Total Score = 174,432

He bested superman N5TJ's record from 1997 when Jeff managed to beat the
old record by more than 37K (that is 181 QSOs).  Tree managed to work
more
than 50 more QSO's than Jeff did in 1997.  At one point when I dropped
in
to see how John was doing at my station, the only comment he made was
that N6TR was only (I believe) 30 QSOs behind him operating with 1500w!


Oh, I also think Pat also deserves a lot of credit for getting the
station
patched back together for Tree.  I don't have all the details of what he
accomplished in just a few days, but maybe Tree can fill us in.

Great score OM!  Hopefully nobody will feel compelled to fly to KP4 to
prove how much better they are than you.  ;)

I don't understand the phenomena completely, but we finally gave up on NV7A.
Statistically, when S&P'ing on CW, about one in four stations either missed
the call the first time, copied it as N4ZA or asked for a repeat on the
State.

So, here goes another grand experiment. As of today, NACHO (Nevada Ass'n of
Contest Highland Operators) is now W7TTT. We'll see how often it becomes W7O
in CQ CW. In SS Phone, it will be W7 Tic Tac Toe.

I guess it has to do with familiarity, intention, fortitude and/or
expectancy.  If you have the intention and the fortitude to put up with
miserable behavior from some, you just deal with it.  If you are familiar
and know what to expect, it doesn't faze you.

There's a famous restaurant in Chicago called Ed Debevic's.  The
waitresses are paid to be rude to the customers.  Most of the customers
know this, expect it and play along.  If you went in there not knowing of
their reputation or not expecting it, I suppose you wouldn't stay there
very long.

BTW, I estimate from what I know that only a tiny percentage of contesters
are rude.  Probably the same percentages as in any other endeavor.

Hi Pete:

I think the worst mistake I ever made in contesting was in CQ WPX CW in
1996, the year the summer Olympics were in Atlanta.  Georgia stations
could subsitute other numbers in their calls to celebrate the Olympics. 
"34" for the 34th Olympiad, add two zeros, or "96" for the year.  I
elected to be K96BAI for that period--maybe it was May through August of
1996 for most general operating and it wasn't too much of a problem to
get the call across.  The first contest to come along was, of all
things, a PREFIX contest.  So, what would be more natural than to be a
new multiplier for everyone, a K96?  Well, I reckoned without the
problem caused in contest operation by the "6B" combination,
particularly coming after K9, which was in itself a complete prefix. 
After a few hours, I ferverently wished I was just K4BAI for the rest of
the contest.  I stuck it out, but S&P was a real chore.  It is truly
amazing that contest operators can (apparently?) copy a random three
digit serial number the first time every time, but cannot copy an
unexpected callsign such as K96BAI even on three or four repeats.  (And
to any contester who was really prepared for a prefix contest, the
callsign should not have been unexpected.)  

Which is a long way of saying that I agree with you and with Tom's
decision on the call NV7A.  He gave it a good try for a number of years.

73,


John, K4BAI.

Would this be a bad time to say that I don't believe that anyone would 
actually have the naivete to come on halfway through a contest & say "Work 
me again, I lost my computer log". But I have been told by some that this 
has happened.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Pile Up in the Top Ten Box
Message-ID: <20021108005027.34234.qmail@web13305.mail.yahoo.com>

To change the subject just a bit....

  There seems to be an amazing pile up developing to
get into the CW SS SO HP Top Ten Box. It looks like
there are 10+ stations vying for spots # 8,9, and 10.
Most of the Top Ten in fact will come down to the log
checking. Last year the Top 20 lost from 13 to 72(!)
QSO's in the checking, so this could really go down
to the wire.
  The question is: why does it take until June to get
the results? The entire contest season will be over,
and it may (or may not) be summer here, and my mind
will be a million miles from contests.
  A proposal: If you are playing for the Top Ten, you
have 24 hours to get your Cabrillo logs in. (Please
don't offer any excuses, people with a room full of 
radio gear can manage this requirement.)
  A database of all worked calls is made up from the 
logs, and the correct exchange info for each call is 
determined, say by 90% agreement amongst the entered
logs. Incorrectly copied Q's are removed from the
entered logs.
  The question of what to do with uniques. This is
probably meat for a years worth of discussion. IMHO,
it seems that there should be NO uniques among the
top 100 or so scorers in the CWSS contest. There is no
"begging" for Q's (anybody, anywhere) like on SSB, and
all the logs for all the Top Ten box entrants would
be in the database (Q,A,B,U,M classes). Uniques are
thus tossed out. I could live with this for the CWSS.
  The results would be posted in a week. Tree, your
comments? The last thought I have is that maybe QST
would publish Top 20 boxes if they are going to do
away with the line scores. That leaves 100 spots to 
get your call in QST, certainly a suitable goal for
a contester willing to put in some time and effort.

Back to the regular program........

Anybody here know how I can reach KC5TJG?  He is in the Dallas area & I can
find no email address for him anywhere that doesn't bounce.

I am going through spot comments about QSLs for VR2BG.  Such comments can
result in no VR2BG participation in contests - judging from how I was chased by
others during the two dozen S&P contacts I made from CQ WW SSB, very few got
the VR mult this year.

Not that KC5TJG's spot is considered to be in the same category as the
person who appears as W0SF-@ & others who are fueled by his spots &
comments... in this case I wish to close the loop with George to make sure
he gets a card, although I see I have already sent him a card for all the 
contacts
I see with him in my log.

Wonder how many other DX stations give contests a miss because of the
expectation of QSL instantaneous gratification by the "Deserving"?  I myself
fell really behind once, but I'm quickly catching up on the cards received in
the past six months & am increasingly of the opinion of not having any more
of this rubbish.  It's like we exist only to serve that lot.

Sorry for spew & let me make it clear that I'm not whinging about KC5TJG's
spot - just going through the motions of QSLing & doing it my way: a little
slow, but thorough.

Speaking of Morse in the water, true story follows----

Takes place on a Navy destroyer docked in Norfolk, VA.

As some of you know, in my mis-spent youth and early adulthood I was a Navy
Radioman. In the late 50's, early 60's, that meant that newbie 'bootcampers'
spent most of their waking hours copying the "Fox" CW traffic, monotonous
24WPM 5-letter coded groups for for 8 or 12 hours straight, then crash to grab
some sleep, wake up and eat, and back at it again.

After one particularly long 12-hour watch 9-PM to 9-AM, I had just
grabbed some breakfast, took a shower, and crashed in my bunk at about
10AM. The bunk was just below the waterline and next to the skin of the
ship (5/8" steel plate). As I lay there just drifting off to sleep I
started to clearly hear Morse code coming from the water outside the
hull of the ship. It was slow and choppy, as sent by an inexpert
operator on a mis-adjusted straight key, but it was readable code, and
it seemed to come from more than one source, because there were changes
in pitch and intensity at various times. "Aw, it's only my imagination
fueled by exhaustion" I convinced myself and drifted off to sleep. When
I awoke several hours later, it had disappeared.

When I went back up to the radio shack that evening form my next shift,
I mentioned this to a couple of old hands, they gave me a 'knowing look'
and snickered a bit, and pooh-poohed it away. Somehow I had the feeling
they knew something that they weren't sharing with me.

Fast forward to the next morning after my 12 hour shift. I was beat, so
skipped breakfast and shower and just crashed... in my bunk by 0915.
There was no code coming through the hull! I was my imagination after
all!

10AM -- I am jerked awake by Morse coming at me again, right through the
hull of the ship! Luckily there was another RM, a bit more experienced
than I, in the compartment. Sheepishly I asked him if he heard the same
code I was hearing. I had to convince myself that I wasn't going nuts.

"Of course" he said. "It's Gertrude."

Who the hell is Gertrude, and how is she sending Morse through the hull
of a destroyer?" I asked.

Well, to make a long story short, "Gertrude" was a code word for a sonic
system that Sonarmen useD to communicate with submarines during fleet
exercises. Took a visit to the sonar shack, and they had a J-38 which
they used to key a sonar transducer, and of course they weren't very
expert. Turns out that every Tuesday and Wednesday at 10AM they held
practice drills with other destroyers moored nearby.

Good post, butI fail to see why uniques should be limited to the top
100, else think all your remarks good and fine for discussion.

Every year, W4AX will get on and work me in the 160. He may or not
work anyone else.
Same is true of K4CY, my neighbor, ( alias 9K2ZZ who writes Logger and
Zakanaka ) and Bob would rather be thrown into a pit of vipers than
submit a log to the ARRL.

I've gotten dinged for these "uniques" for the last 2 years. And
afraid I sent a nasty
email the last time. If it happens again, I'm going to send ARRL the
QSL card!

If the ARRL is so rigid about uniques, let them submit a request to
the one who worked it requesting confirmation. Now, what are the odds
some little pistol will get on, work about 10 others just on for fun
on Sunday afternoon, and not one of them submits a log?

I too spent time this weekend wondering if I was going to get beaten by a
guy running 5W!!  Great score Tree.

With the strength of the QRP stations this past weekend, it did strike me
that the SS would do very well as a contest with a 150W output power limit.
We could just have Q and A categories - completely eliminate the high power
category.

Let's face it, we don't really need a KW to work around the USA/Canada.
Since you only need to work once, there is no need for power to make
marginal QSOs on the low bands.

If you look at the results, A is the most popular category anyway.

It will have more of an impact on Phone SS than CW, but not sure that it
wouldn't make Phone more interesting and competitive as well.

Of course, anyone could still go to KP2 or KP4 and win...

Message-ID: <3DCB30A7.9070202@tampabay.rr.com>

I think I have learned a lot in the past few says.

One of the things I have learned is that maybe I should not use the 
internet and public postings to drag others into my personal 
business...it appears there has been quite a hornets nest generated.

I gather form N0FP that he has been sent numerous e-mails which are less 
than positive in their tone. To him I apologize for his having to endure 
this.

The original thread about how some ham could be "dissed" by a contester 
is an important thread.  I felt it important because I do not think any 
contester should ever turn down a QSO - only under extreme QRM/QRN/QSB 
type situations where you truly have tried to copy the other station but 
just plain cannot dig them out of the ether shouldyou say no.  I find it 
offensive that some guy could ruin another guys attmept to have some fun 
contesting by telling them to "go awy".

It appears we will never know who the offending station may have been, 
that is all I wanted to know as I wanted to try and set him, the "go 
awy" guy straight... to remind him that such behaviour is not just poor 
sportsmanship but a behaviour which can only hurt a sport which already 
has more than its share of "haters".

Contesting is truly an individual thing - and that in my opinion is why 
it has a following that tends have a long life span.  You improve on 
your station, your skills and consequently your scores, this takes time 
and dedication.  Nobody gets on for the first time and lands in the box, 
ever.  Becuase it is not a  fat wallet that is the requiremnt for a 
"winner" many persue contesting.  They know that the wineers are those 
that win every time they operate by their challenging their biggest foe 
- themselves.  If you keep doing better than you have done in the 
past... you  find yourself doing better than a whole lot of others, too!

It is good to push yourself, it is part of the human character.  In all 
portions of your life.

Again I am sorry that this got as ugly as it appears it did for Ford, he 
made a clean sweep last weekend, anyone who spends that much time in the 
chair clearly enjoys contesting - it is a shame he has to see it now as 
a two edged sword.

I repeat my request, should you know of the offending station let me 
know. He needs some education as to why contesting which we know as out 
and out fun is something others view as out and out crud and they do not 
need us adding to their flamage.

Let's talk about some positive things from this past weekend like the 
phenomenal QRP score of N6TR, or how N2NC (piloting N2NT) has made it to 
the top scorers in SS, from the Northeast, this is tough...jow about the 
midwest scores of W8RE and N9RV????   Anyone know of some newbies who 
were energized by their first real SS, and have any positive stories to 
convey here.  I think I could use some!

I promise to try to stop being quite as terse as it appears I was, and 
will try and reread my posts before hitting send... in its own way I 
suppose I am guilty of telling some to "go awy" -  and for that I apologize.

73,

Jim, K4OJ

If I read this right, it sure sounds like DXers can give contesters a run
for their money in terms of being nasty.  I guess DXers have little
incentive for being nice to anyone...at least contesters have to think about
next year!

Man...and after the past few days' posts, I was starting to think contesters
were the scourge. ;-)

Why?

Uniques (assuming we're talking about legitimate QSOs with stations 
that happen to only make one QSO and not mis-copied calls) are good.

How would deleting uniques make the reporting process faster?

Not me...but then I've only made Top Ten in CWSS once.  Near the 
bottom.  Low Power.

        For the 2000 WPX CW I borrowed NV4X from K4MA.  This
turned out to be a big mistake for CW.  Most seemed to copy it
as N4VX, possibly because of the similarity to K4VX.  I tried
slowing down only the letter V, using half spaces between the
letters, etc, etc, all to no avail.  After only 3 hours I figured 
it was going to be a long weekend.  Fortunately my XYL rescued
me by requiring an early Saturday AM visit to the hospital where
I spent the rest of the weekend.

        Stay away from those NV prefixes on CW!

During cqww ssb my AR-Cluster node was apparently 'full' for a while
resulting in some users getting rejected.  I know I saw 80 users
connected at least twice, that plus the telnet node connections just ran
it out of connections and with 1200+ spots/hr may also have been slowing
down the service.  For future contests please try to spread the load out
a bit.  Here in the north east the following AR-Cluster nodes normally
connect to me and should have the same spots within seconds of my node.

To me, this once again underlines why we're all waiting for Logbook of the

And for those in David's section of the woods, remember RXCLUS can do

Randy,

You are assuming that everyone is using a good antenna system. Until
I get the time to go head-to-head with the city of Los Angeles for a
conditional use permit, I am stuck with antenna by Eimac. My trapped
vertical on the roof is pretty close to a dummy load, but when you
pump 1000 watts into it, enough signal leaks out to make some contacts
and have a little fun. This is definitely not W5WMU.

I got to thinking...(obviously a dangerous situation)

WAZ - Western Arizona - DXers would love this one and could get Worked All 
Zones with one QSO
NIL - Northern Illinois - This would be a hard place from which to have a 
Golden Log
SUV - Southern Urban Valley - This one consists of anyone operating from a 
freeway in the Los Angeles basin
CPR - Central Puerto Rico - These are so rare, your heart stops when they call 
you
SID - Southern Idaho - Every time they call, the band goes dead
WAR - Western Arkansas - Don't get in a frequency fight with these guys
NUT - Northern Utah - The crazy guys moved here to get away from the Black 
Helicopters
SRI - Southern Rhode Island - You'll regret operating from here
CIA - Central Iowa - They never ID properly or submit logs
OLA - Outer Louisiana - Always tuning up...always
DOH - Downstate Ohio - Every QSO winds up busted somehow
CPA - Central Pennsylvania - They can account for every contact
OIL - Outer Illinois - Any truth to the rumor that these guys run gas?
EON - Eastern Ontario - Gosh, these operators are slow
IKY - Inner Kentucky - The signals from here are disgusting
WIN - Western Indiana - Obviously, THE place to be in any contest

See you in the PHONE (that's PHONE...not CW) Sweepstakes next weekend.

And then there was the time I moved to France for a year, and was loaned 
the callsign TV6MHZ to use in the WPX contest.  I also quickly learned
that S&Ping was not productive.

It was only slightly better with 4U1ITU - only because that people have
heard the call enough - but still not something people can latch onto
quickly.

The best callsigns?  Either double letters, or ones that spell something.

I worry about W7TTT, since it isn't "self-syncing".  I look forward to 
busting that callsign in future contests.

Randy,

>From my point of view I would be depressed if the B category would
be done away with. It seems to me the really big guns usually
enter B class. That leaves a chance for a little pistol like myself,
one tribander and wires, to make the top ten in A class as I did
a couple of years ago. Do away with B class and little guys like
me will probably never see the top 10 again with all the big gun
stations fighting for the same. Selfish? Yes, but trying to make
the box is a big motivator for me and SS is one of the few contests
where I got a shot at it from home. 

I know we don't need big power to work USA/Canada but at least
it gives us another category for competition. We already have NAQP
for 100W and QRP competitions.

I think it is easy to understand why this takes as long as it does.  First,
it takes about 2 months to get all of the logs, and fix some of the problem
logs up (those that are missing information or logged the contest in local
time or sent in the previous year's log).  Then, the log crunching has to
occur, and in the past few years, there has been work put into improving 
the capabilities of that process at the same time.  Once the numbers are
generated, then the writeup needs to be written and folded into the schedule
of the two people in the contest department at the ARRL.  Then, finally, it
goes off to the printers and gets mailed out using the slow mail.

And that doens't mention the paper logs that have to be dealt with manually
(still about 10 percent).

Many things are changing that can reduce this time and already this has 
happened.  The robots are helping clean up problem logs in real time.
Publication of the results on the web eliminates the printing and 
mailing delay.  The log checking process is near "perfection" and requires
less development in parallel.  It might be very possible to have "final"
results for all stations within two months of the contest.

The ARRL has come up with a new schedule for results, and things are moving
up about 6 weeks for this year I understand.

WB0O goes on to wonder about uniques:

>   The question of what to do with uniques. This is
> probably meat for a years worth of discussion. IMHO,
> it seems that there should be NO uniques among the
> top 100 or so scorers in the CWSS contest. 

This really isn't an issue in my opinion.  First off, uniques are only
a problem if a log has a lot of them.  All logs are going to have a few,
but when a log shows up with 10X the average (that aren't matched to 
busted calls), then this raises suspicions.  

For sure, any uniques a top scoring station has will be looked at.  There
have been some cases where it was obvious that "friends" got carried away
using multiple callsigns.  These QSOs were not removed, but in most cases,
these friends were encouraged to stick with one callsign, and to work some
other stations in the contest.

But - just to be clear - no uniques are removed without being judged to
be a busted callsign.

K4SB chimes in:

> I've gotten dinged for these "uniques" for the last 2 years. And
> afraid I sent a nasty

> QSL card!

I am not sure this happened in the SS?  It takes a lot of unprobable 
events to occur for any unique to be "dinged".  Please provide specific
data if this is the case - as I would be intersted in knowing more about
it.  Uniques are not removed from any log without being identified as
a busted callsign.  This applies to all contests I am aware of (except
the Internet Sprints and Keyman Club of Japan contests which require
both logs to show the QSO to be counted).

If you are concerned about uniques being listed, then please understand
this is a tool to detect people that have way too many uniques, a sign
of manufactured QSOs.  It also flags possible bad QSOs that can later be
judged to be busted either by the software or a human.

Finally, WB0O asks for my opinion (a dangerous thing):

> The results would be posted in a week. Tree, your comments? 

I would not want to make the call on who makes the top ten in a tight race
without having all of the information available.  Part of the log checking
process involves cross checking the QSOs with the logs we have.  This will
detect not-in-log situations, as well as incorrect serial numbers.  

If we did this before all of the logs were in, the stations with higher
error rates will look better than they should.  For each NIL not detected,
there is a 2 QSO impact.  Thus, an inaccurate log will be more competitive
without all of the logs being used in the process.

Therefore, I would suggest that if you wanted even faster results than 
supported by the log submission deadline, you work to move up the log
submission deadline for all logs.

Finally, AA4GA asks an interesting question:

> How would deleting uniques make the reporting process faster?

It makes it a LOT easier - because uniques are much easier to detect than
busted calls.  You have no judgement involved at all.  A unique is simply
a callsign that nobody else worked.  It takes a lot more work and time to 
match these up to busted calls.  In a contest like the SS, that is pretty
easy because of the "quality" of the exchage (lots of good information that
can be used to help you match up the call).  For other contests, like the 
ARRL DX and CQ WW, where the exchange is pretty useless, it is a lot harder.
These contests would be about 100X times easier to check if uniques were
just not counted.

Please understand I am not proposing this...  I am just answering the 
question Lee asked.

November QST (p.104) says "We are still working on the schedule, but in 
general, the results should be available to ARRL members 3 to 4 months after 
the end of the event.  This allows us time to process logs, handle problems, 
add in paper logs and generate a nice write-up.  This is 2 to 3 months sooner 
than the current QST schedule."    For non-members the results will be 
available on the ARRL web site the month before the QST issue (i.e. early 
October for results that will be in November QST) - or 5 to 7 months after the 
contest.   At least that is the stated plan!

The only date that has been mentioned is that Logbook of the World would be 
implemented during 2002...    as of today that is still the plan.    The first 
sign of it being "real" will be a request for people to help out in the final

 You would think the process would be quicker since everything is
computerized now. Before email came along (from what I remember) the CW
results would be in the Apr. issue of QST and SSB in May. Maybe that
10% of people who send paper logs are slowing down the process ?? 
Maybe they ought to just classify those paper logs a "check logs". I
doubt it would cause much of a fuss because I bet most of those logs
are probably from casual participants anyway...

  If you think about it... It's not how much power you run but the ERP
that you are getting from your antenna that makes you loud. Tree
probably would of beat me out in most pileups ... at least on the
higher bands, since he was at big station using stacked yagis !!! Is it
maybe time for a tribander/wire class in SS like they have in WPX ???

Jeff,

Try a trapped vertical (actually half of an Cushcraft A3 driven element)
shooting into the side of a 4000' mountain (in the direction of all the
SS QSOs). I think we need a new precedence for situations like this
- it will be class "D" for dummy load or perhaps "P" short for "PW".
RF output power will be unlimited in this class as long as you can prove
that 90% of it is turned into heat in the antenna, feedline, or nearby
terrain (e.g. high EURP - effective unradiated power).

This will give all us lids who are loading up various forms of
moistened pasta, window frames, and home wiring a class to
compete in.

I agree with that completely.  All arguments aside about whether someone
with less than 13 wpm code speed should participate in SS, my philosophy
is - unless the other station is causing deliberate interference to me or 
being malicious, I just work him.  I'd never say "go away".

Whenever I get to running stations in ARRL DX, there are always some
stateside stations that call me.  They probably don't have a clue about
the contest rules and think they're doing me a favor by giving me some
points.  This usually happens on Sunday afternoon/evening.  I just work
them, log them and then keep that copy of the log but remove the QSO's for
the log I send to ARRL.  It's a sure thing that a good number of them are
going to send me QSL's!

Nope, I don't think ERP was the reason. Assuming Tree was running 5
watts, a 30db gain over real earth would be the equivilent of 160
watts to a dipole. And I don't know of any set of stacked yagis which
has that gain. Plus, you would have to have the ability to lower the
stack to get the desired take off angle. 5 degree TO is fine for DX,
but
you don't hear USA stations with it.

Tree was as loud as a rock band here, but I have to think the
operator, and location did the job.

Message-ID: <4.2.0.58.20021108220933.009b08c0@mail.comcast.net>

Speaking of callsigns which are hard to decipher, my worst experience came 
back in the late seventies (when I was at college in Arkansas) that I took 
a trip up to visit a buddy at the University of Missouri in Rolla, MO 
.  Jeff was not a ham, but had hung out with K5GO and I and had absorbed a 
lot of "contesting culture" at the original N5DX so he knew I'd be 
interested in trying out the club station, particularly since it was ARRL 
DX weekend.

The UMR club station was (and still is) W0EEE which was equipped with a 
Drake C-Line, SB-220 and (among other antennas) an 80M flat top dipole 
stretched between two 160' campus power station smokestacks.  Man, I could 
hardly wait.

It didn't take long before I came to discover how difficult it was to get a 
callsign full of "Es" through a 80M CW pileup.  Signal strength was not the 
issue - the callsign simply had no "inertia" to it.  Sending the call 
normally simply did not work.  The only thing that worked was "di dah dah, 
dah dah dah dah dah, dit (pause), dit (pause), dit".  It was humiliating...

After two hours, pizza sounded a lot better than low band frustration.

Hi Randy

Interesting post.  This year I've tried something new.  I
disconnected the amp and have been running the rigs barefoot
here.  I don't do a lot of CQ'ing--mostly s&p.  In the RTTY
contests I've been in, I can't really see any difference from
running 100 watts or 600 watts.  Still seem to get through on the
first call.  The wife, neighbors and everyone else seems to
appreciate me running low power now :-)  Think I'll go the rest
of the season running low power.  The only real difference I've
found is trying to work Eu on 40 from Oregon with low power, but
it can be done.  73

Ed, although I pretty much agree with your conclusion, I am
wondering where you got the 30dB figure? The difference
between 5 watts and 160 watts is 15dB (about 2.5 S units on
a calibrated meter). A good long boom monobander will do
about 9dB over a dipole at the same height. That leaves about
6dB needed for operating skill to match an "A" power guy with
a dipole at a good height for SS. Of course most of the really
competitive "A" scores are probably from guys with moderate
to good antenna systems (TH-7/402CD). In those cases, the
difference between the EIRP of the 150 watt guy and the QRP
superstation are even larger, requiring the QRP superstation
operator (and location) to make up for something like 9 to
12 dB of EIRP deficit (if I had to calibrate Tree's operating
skill I would put it closer to 12dB).

The one big advantage in my estimation that a superstation like
W5WMU can give an SS operator is a lot of different antennas
to chose from. The guy with a single TH-7 (or dipole for that
matter) can't overcome the physics of his antenna height. At
certain takeoff angles, he will invariably have nulls in his vertical
pattern. The guy with stacks can bip-bop around and fill these
nulls in. This can make a huge difference as anyone who has
switched from an antenna that is too high to one that is at
optimum height can testify. Being able to quickly switch
azimuth direction doesn't hurt either.

Once a few years back, I needed VE6 for a CW sweep.  Couldn't
fine one anywhere.  Just a few minutes before the end of the
contest I heard some VE6's rag-chewing on 80 so I broke in and
asked if someone could give me an exchange on CW.  One guy did
and I made my sweep.  Now, if I did that, it would probably get
tossed.  73

Subject: [CQ-Contest] My best QRP story (not W5WMU)
Message-ID: <20021109055948.GA31131@kkn.net>

While operating at W5WMU this weekend was sure a surprise and
I am very pleased with the result, it actually isn't my best
QRP story.  I'll tell the WMU story afterwards.

I think it was Field Day in 1979, there was a 2A battery operation
in the Malibu mountains with the call N6VI.  This was when Marty Woll
and Wayne Overbeck, N6NB, had those neato tower trailers and they
had nice monobanders on a mountain top.

I wasn't able to be there for the whole weekend, but I agreed
to come do the night shift, from midnight until 6 AM.  Finding
a FD site during the night time can be a challenge, but I think
I made it just before it got totally dark.

I sat down in front of some kind of Japanese radio - the kind they
sell in Japan that only runs 5 watts.  It was on 20 meters and
N6NB settled down to get some sleep in the cabin of his motor home
(the same one you see on the cover of QST when he did an EME effort
on the Nevada/Utah state line or something like that).

What happened in the next six hours is hard for me to believe, even
today, but I was able to run on both 20 SSB and CW like I was running
a KW.  I actually could CLEAR A FREQUENCY on 20 meter phone by CQing.
This is something I am not sure I have ever done since.  

I was convinced there had to be an amplifier somewhere, but I operated
the whole period on one battery.  I QSYed to CW for awhile and then 
came back to phone.  I remember having something like 530 QSOs in 
that six hour period.  I think my best hour was in the 130s.

One of those magic moments I'll never forget.  Wayne now has a fine
station on another mountain top, and N6MU beat me in a phone SS when
I did QRP from home five years ago.

As far as what happened this weekend, I was determined to not make
myself any weaker than I had to.  I was going to aggressively CQ
with one radio for the whole contest - and S&P with the other.  

At the start, I was very lucky to have good conditions on 10 meters.
Most big guns would have started on 15, but I knew the higher in
frequency I could be, the easier it would be for me to attract 
attention.  I didn't need to be working the whole country either, 
I just needed propagation somewhere - anywhere where there were
stations.  

The first hour netted me 83 QSOs - with 60 CQs answered on 10 meters
and 23 QSOs on 15 with the second radio.  I pretty much stayed on
10 with the CQ radio for the first two hours - switching to 15 at 
22:47.  During that time on 10, I was getting good results to the
west coast and the northeast.  Begin able to have 4/4 to the NE and
4/4 to the NW at the same time was very useful.  

15 picked up pretty much where 10 left off.  I spent some time with
the second radio picking off the loud guys who were CQing on 10.  
By switching the run radio and second radio, it was like starting 
the contest all over again.  My second hour was 74 and the third
hour was 67 - 224 QSOs and I hadn't touched 20 meters yet.

The second radio moved to 20 at 0012Z where it made its 71st QSO.
The rate on 15 was still good - I had 39 QSOs in the 00Z hour and
35 there in the 01Z - all CQing.

When 15 started slowing down - I made a good decision and avoided 
trying to CQ on 20 meters.  One of the things I have learned about
W5WMU is to never underestimate what you can do on 40 meters.  One
year, my 20 meter coax fried in the first 10 minutes, and I went to
40 after a 30 minute break.  The result?  Over 1000 QSOs on 40 and 
my second victory.  I held my breath, and moved the CQ radio down 
to 40 meters and found a clear spot down in the bottom 10 kHz of
the band.

Would anyone hear me?  Would that 40 meter beam that was twisted
by Lili do the job?

Oh yeah.

My 02Z hour was 72 - with 61 QSOs on 40 meters and 9 second radio
QSOs on 20.  In the 03Z hour, I moved the second radio down to 80 
and chased the W9s (to whom I hadn't had much of a chance to work
yet and they were having a very tough time with the aurora).  

I think the aurora really helped me - as the transcontinental signals
were down and I was far enough south to have a direct path to both
coasts.

03Z netted 42 QSOs on 40 and 36 for each of the two hours after that.  

I felt like I lost focus some and took a break in the 06Z hour,
which had only 17 QSOs in it.  Getting back on 40 resulted
hours of 46 and 38 (with about a quarter of those coming from
the second radio on 80).  I went to bed at 0900Z with 674 QSOs
in the log - pretty much where I had hoped to be.

After three hours of sleep, I got back on 40 and 80 and kept 
going.  However, after about 30 minutes, I pretty much had worked
80 meters out and 40 was starting to slow down...  After 3 minutes
of CQing with no results, I boldly decided to go to 20 meters 
and try CQing there.  I heard one or two signals on the band, and
they were pretty loud.  There wasn't enough activity to S&P, 
so I called CQ at 12:37 and got called by AJ1E in EMass with a 
big signal  I think I was on 14009 or so.  I worked a QSO on
40 with the sceond radio, and then VE1ZJ called me on 20 and 
then K1VDF in Ct.  This band was wide open to the Northeast 
and it didn't seem like anyone else was on the band.  In the 
last 23 minutes of the 12Z hour, I had 11 QSOs on 20.  Not great,
but it was good production for the second day of the SS.  The
overall hour came in at 44 - a total any B power station would be
happy with at this point in the contest.

The 13Z hour was magic on 20 - with 33 answers to my CQs to go 
with 14 second radio QSOs on 40.  This is also when VO1HE called
me on 20 to give me the last mult I would get.  This really saved
me from getting burnt later on trying to bust through VO1MP's 
pileup.  

During the 14Z hour, 20 started getting crowded and it was
time to move to 15 and hope that the same kind of thing would
repeat itself.  15 came through with 28 answers to my CQs in 
the 14Z hour to go with 12 second radio QSOs on the second 
radio.  That adds up to 40 - another great hour.

I pretty much hung out on 15 for most of the daytime.  I would
use a 30 minute break here and there to give the band a chance
to recover with fresh stations to work.  As the day wore on, my
second radio production started to fall off.  I just kept tuning 
over the same stations over and over again.  I did manage 50 second
radio QSOs in the last 6 hours, but only 12 in the last 3.  That
was one of the surprises for me - is that this high of a percentage
of my QSOs would come from CQing in the last 3 hours.  The second
radio did pick up in the last hour, when it seemed that a lot of
new stations showed up on the bands.

My average rate for the afternoon was just over 30 QSOs an hour.
There were many times were nobody would answer me for 4 or 5 
minutes, but then I would get 2 or 3 stations calling in and that
would set me up for another dry spell.

Around 0100Z, I had 1069 QSOs and a big storm blew in.  I used up
my last off time and went outside to watch the rain.  I got back
on at 0131 on 20 meters, rain static and all, to see if I could 
get some rate going.  That first 30 minutes yielded only 10 QSOs.
There is a gap of 13 minutes in the log with nothing.  Finally,
K7SS called me and woke me up.  However, the next 30 minutes 
only yielded 8 QSOs!!  A 7 minute and a 8 minute gap showed up.
I tried CQing on 40, and would get one or two answers, and then
nothing.  I was really worried about having enough margin to 
break the record after log checking at this point.

Finally, around 0230, some new stations started showing up on
the bands.  Also, 20 meters seemed to settle a little for me
and I started getting a few answers.  The last 30 minutes yielded
18 QSOs - the same as the previous hour.  It felt wonderful to
crawl over 1100 QSOs (thanks to KM3T for calling in for #1100).  
I did spend the last 10 minutes CQing on 40 and had 4 stations 
answer to go with one QSO on 20 to end up at 1105.

Finally, it was time for a Corona and to tune in on 3830 to hear 
how the high power shootout went.

I feel I was lucky to pick a weekend to do this when conditions 
were poor for many people.  My geographical location played 
really well.  If conditions the first night had been more
like the conditions the second night, I think I would not
have had anywhere near the success I did.

In summary, the things that really worked well for me were:

- Able to CQ on 10 meters with results for two hours at the
start of the contest.

- Being able to avoid 20 meters for the first three hours of
the contest - and pretty much skipping it to go to 40.

- The endless answers to my CQs on 40.

- Good second radio production on 80.

- Fantastic production on 20 to start the morning.

- Crawling along on 15 during the day at around 30/hour.

About the only thing that didn't go well was those couple
of hours before things picked up right at the end.  If I
hadn't have had at least one break when the storm hit, it
would have been much worse.

I also never heard VY1JA - so that was a missed multiplier.

So there you have it - the long story.  The radios were the
same TS850s I used last year.  I checked their wattermeters
against a bird slug and they ended up the power control all
the way down, and the carrier between 11 O'clock and 12
O'clock (depended on the band and match).  It would have been
nice to have done this with my K2, but I am not quite 
comfortable enough yet with it to use it in a major contest.

See http://www.kkn.net/~tree/gallery for the pictures.

And thanks for all of the QSOs!

That's obscene!

Is the ARRL actually tossing uniques because they're uniques now?  I 
haven't been keeping up with the state of the super-duper-log-
checking.  I remember CQ reports them, but I don't think they remove 
them just because they're unique.

Please tell me the ARRL isn't doing that now...if they are, it just 
gives me one more reason to be upset with the League.

Sigh,

Lee

Hmmm...when I learned the code, and 8 months later, when I passed the 
20 wpm Extra code test, I didn't do it because of any commercial or 
military viability.  I just wanted my ham ticket.  That was incentive 
enough.  And I had no desire to operate code at that time...it was 
only after I had gained a reasonable degree of proficiency that I 
began to enjoy using CW and started using it as a matter of choice.

It's the best incentive...but I'm odd anyway...I took the CPA exam 
more as a personal challenge than for the potential income benefit...

Wrong.  A "unique" is a good QSO unless proven otherwise.  Why is that 
concept so hard to grasp?

Just this evening, Tree addressed this issue ...

"But - just to be clear - no uniques are removed without being judged
to be a busted callsign."

and

"Uniques are not removed from any log without being identified as
a busted callsign."

Our FQP log checking procedures are exactly the same.  If a "unique" 
cannot be verified to be busted, it stays in the log.

Having played around with log checking software, I know that "uniques" 
can easily be tossed from the log, and doing so, would certainly speed 
up the log checking process.  Verifying "uniques" as valid is probably 
more time consuming, than keying in paper logs or fixing non-Cabrillo 
log formats.

So why bother with checking "uniques"?  Because every QSO you make, 
should be worth the effort spent making it ... and not having your 
efforts go to waste because a piece of software arbitrarily toss it from 
your log.

Dave,

Interesting story.  Yet, I always felt that W3EEE was a really effective call 
on cw, especially with the way he uses a very short pause after each E.

Back in the 70s...W0EEE was very active on the bands and in contest.  So 
was W0QQQ from
Kansas State University.  My point here is that W0QQQ could almost break 
your arm after about 10 hours of contesting.  EEE is very short....QQQ 
takes a long times to send  No memory keyers.  No punch tape.  Just a ten 
tec KR5 pounding out code.  When I graduated from KSU and got a job...one 
of the first purchases I made was an Autek Memory Keyer.

I thought Tree just categorically dealt with that, when he said that ONLY 
if a unique was shown to be a busted call would it get tossed.  Tree knows 
-- he wrote the checking software.

Lee,

You can relax.  Tree cited the only two contests (neither of which are
involved in this discussion) that require both logs to be submitted and show
all qsos correctly for either to count.

Please understand that uniques are only identified as such by ARRL & CQWW -
THEY ARE NOT REMOVED FROM YOUR LOG !

Uniques are innocent until proven guilty. Read that again.

Tree, who writes the software and performs the log checking, made it clear
MANY times in his post that uniques are only tossed if they are proven to be
busted. No offence intended to anybody, but do consider the source on these
matters.

The only way they can be proven to be busted is if at the same time you
claim to have worked KV4Z, K4VZ claims to have worked you or KV4Z has no
record of a Q with you or other corroborating evidence that proves you got
the call wrong.

If I got on Sunday afternoon and worked one person, that would be a unique,
but would stand. If you busted my call to VE4XY, even that would stand
unless I sent in a checklog for one QSO (like, how likely is that?). If I
worked 100, 99 of whom got my call correctly, the QSOs would stand for all
100, even the guy who busted my call UNLESS I sent in a checklog, and even
though the preponderance of circumstantial evidence suggests that station
busted my call. But circumstantial evidence is not enough.

Now, let's say I don't work anybody, and 100 other stations don't work
anybody. If our 101 callsigns show up in someone's log, that's suspicious.
Possibly suspicious enough that the log checkers would attempt to contact
us. If we say we were not operating in that contest and did not work
anybody, those 101 Qs would likely be tossed. (Should there be a DQ?
Probably.)

But there needs to be proof to toss uniques, even in the above example.

Innocent until proven guilty. Clear?

This is a post, that IMHO, may play well among the superstation crowd but
would get little support from those of us with more modest stations.

Randy's station probably does not qualify for superstation status, but he
certainly has an impressive array of aluminum even so.

The thing about A vs. B is that A lets people break into the Top 10 even
with a TA33 at 42 feet and a G5RV at 35 (me, last year, @ ve4yu). I wouldn't
have had a hope in B, or in a new A without B. A-class is still very
competitive, but squeezing all the Big Guns into A, I think, would act as a
disincentive to some ops.

I think the A vs. B distinction is important for reasons that go beyond any
need for power.

I like WB0O's Top 20 suggestion more than I like the idea of eliminating B,
but I think that Top 20 would then become mandatory if you wiped out B.

I am afraid my understanding of "uniques" has been in error. I was
under the impression they were automatically removed from the log
simply because they appeared in the UBN.
Apparently, such is not the case, unless further evidence is present.

and apologize if I

I read Tom's post before Tree's.  Had I read Tree's first, I most 
likely wouldn't have posted a reply.  Read that again.

That being said, I have been burned in the past by the super-duper 
log checking routines myself, so I'm fairly sensitive about the 
potential of having QSOs removed when they are, in fact, valid.

Ever since these guys started talking about this super-duper log 
checking and introduced terms such as "unique QSO", there has been 
talk of someday removing uniques.  It should never happen.

I do consider Tree to be a fine individual, that's not in question.  

I do question the super-duper log checking process though.

Consider first, that this is a hobby - at least it is for me.

Consider that I, and 95% (guess) of the others involved would not 
manufacture contacts for the sake of increasing their score.  

Consider that everyone makes errors in copying from time to time, and 
errors in sending also - even when using a computer for sending CW, 
due to computer hiccups, RFI, whatever.

Consider that the process is rife for sabotage.

> But there needs to be proof to toss uniques, even in the above example.

How about this for a scenario...VE4XT works AA4GA, who makes 100 QSOs 
and sends in a log.  AA4GA's computer or VOX hiccuped and sent his 
call as AA4GT.  That happened when VE4XT logged him (as AA4GT).  
After log checking, wouldn't the QSO be removed from VE4XT's log?  

> Innocent until proven guilty. Clear?

Wasn't VE4XT just proven of being guilty in the previous example?  
Was he guilty?  Clearly.

How about this for a slightly off-topic, but related scenario...VE4XT 
works AA4GA, who makes 100 QSOs and sends in a log.  AA4GA remembers 
back to the last contest when VE4XT "stole" his frequency and decides 
to not log the QSO.  After log checking, wouldn't the QSO be removed 
from VE4XT's log?  Isn't he being penalized for something he didn't 
do?

So, you see, this whole log checking process, while possibly well-
intentioned, just doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling.  I'm pretty 
sure most of the folks involved in it will admit that it's not 100% 
accurate, but that the error is acceptable.  I don't agree, that's 
all.

Dear Fellow Contesters,

We want to invite you to take part in LZ DX Contest which will be held
12.00 GMT on Saturday 16th of November to 12.00 GMT Sunday 17th
of November 2002.
LZ DX contest is a nice opportunity for warming up just prior to big CQWW CW 
contest.
The rules are very similar to IARU Radiosport - you can work everyone -getting 
3pts for out of your continent QSOs and 1pt for in continent QSOs.
Of course you will get 6 pts for QSO s with LZ stations.

Multiplier - ITU zones on each band - just like in IARU test.

So, be there and have fun ! We'll be happy to work you on 80 through 10m on CW 
!!!

Full rules : http://www.qsl.net/lz1fw/contest

73's and see you in the contest

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Not quite that pure
Message-ID: <000c01c288fe$7cc744e0$457ef3d8@n7df>

I have several times had legitimate QSOs struck from my logs where a true 
unique was considered a busted call because a station with a nearly identical 
call to the one I worked as a unique sent his call in.

I sometimes get on and just work one or two of my friends in a contest but 
don't bother sending in a log.  If N7DM, for example, is on in that contest and 
works three or four people but doesn't send in his log either, then it's very 
likely the QSOs I made will be shown as busted calls rather than uniques.  To 
prevent this I usually try to work at least three other stations in other 
categories that I am sure will send in their logs.

As a check in a recent major contest where I made well over 1500 QSOs I 
recorded the entire contest on LP video tapes with a digital clock in the 
video, my audio on one track and the received audio on the other track.  I 
played back the entire contest and verified 100% of my contacts deleting all 
log entries where there was any doubt of the two way QSO.  When I checked  the 
log analysis results I still had nearly 2% of my contacts disallowed as busted 
calls and only 11 unique calls listed.  I went back and reconfirmed the 
contacts where the QSOs were shown as busted and every contact was clearly 
identified as the station I had in the log.

I don't think any system will be 100% accurate but I think there are still too 
many chances for losing legitimate QSOs.  I wonder if something like the 
Super-Check-Partial could look at past contest activity and prevent calls being 
shown as busted if they showed up in past contests.

Perhaps someone can explain what the log checkers would do with this one.  
Let's say WC4E is on in a contest (NAQP or SS for example), but I don't work 
him.  However, I do work WC4I who is trolling across the band and works me 
because he knows me, but works no one else.  He doesn't send in a log, and 
either does WC4E.  How do the log checkers handle that unique in the log I 
sent in.....valid QSO, possible busted, or what?

I may see more of this than others, but it does seem that some of the DXing
crowd can be a little impatient for their QSLs & may not entirely appreciate
things from the DX side, especially if the DX station does his own cards.

There also seems to be a tendency for folks in that group to believe that
QSLs make it possible for the DX station to give up his or her day job, which
is absolute bollocks.

Thanks to N5NJ for putting me in touch with KC5TJG - which is what started
this thread: he received my QSL okay.

Can you be more specific about which contest?  The situation you describe

Well, I hope this wasn't a competitive log as most people feel that listening
to a tape and checking the information after the contest is not in the 
spirit of the contest.

Again, I would like to know specifics.  What contest?  What were the 
callsigns?  I will do what I can to understand what the story is and
report back.

You have two things confused:

1.  If you logged 5C8N and HC8N shows a QSO with you at the same date/time, 
that is a busted call.

2.  If you logged AC1D and you are not in AD1C's (submitted) log at that 
date/time, and AC1D did not send in a log, then you either worked a unique 
call, or AD1C didn't log you (not in log).  This is different from the 
busted call example in #1 above.

Hi Richard
Have a look at the following page from Don, AA5AU, who did a fair bit of
investigation on this subject.
http://www.aa5au.com/usb.html
I have used several of the usb/serial type cables costing about ?25 and they
all work well for rig control and keying.  They DO NOT cope with sending and
receiving FSK very well so be wary if that is your application.

Simple.  Since your example contest, NAQP or SS, has the state/section 
as part of the exchange, the log checker will check what you logged, 
WC4E=FL or WCF and WC4I=KY.  If both of these are logged correctly, 
you'll get credit for both QSO's.

It "may" not be as simple for other contests without states/section or 
other identifying exchange information.  In this case, it's back to if 
it can't be proven to be bad, then it should be counted as a good QSO.

This is also a good argument to SEND IN A LOG ... no matter how big or 
small.  The more logs there are to work with, the more accurate the log 
checking process can be.

Message-ID: <3a.2f44af82.2b01127d@aol.com>

Hi to all,
Thanksgiving will find me in Northern Indiana. We'll head back to Tennessee 
on Saturday.
If I can get on while traveling home should I sign K4BEV/M and then K4BEV 
once I arrive; or just sign K4BEV the entire contest (skipping the mobile 
part)? Or just forget trying to work the contest in the car?
The reason I'm asking this is because the /Ms seem to get attention when S&P 
and it would also explain my asking for even more fills than usual (hi).
On the other hand I may be better off just waiting till Sunday to play. 
Mobile pretty much restricts me to 20m trying to work DX with the antenna I 
have for my XYL's car.
How would you handle this?
At least I'll be in Zone 4 the entire time. We almost went to my brother's 
which would have had me starting in 5 and ending up in 4, which may have been 
interesting.

73, Don - K4BEV

Don,

The contest this year is not on Thanksgiving weekend but the weekend before!
That is the CQWW CW, only happens once in a while.

DUH!
I'm not sure which date I had confused - The contest's or Thanksgiving's.
In any event -- Problem Solved.
AND I won't be wondering if my radio is broken on the way home.

Retirement has had a weird way of screwing up time for me!

Get a Belkin F5U103.  I've had dismal failures with two other adaptors, 
and then found this one mentioned on AA5AU's RTTY website.  Seems to 
work with about any software.  You can even set up to work in a DOS 
window, name the com port, assign an IRQ, and run with DOS loggers like NA.

Does anyone out there in contest land know if there is going to be a Kansas QSO 
Party in January of 2003?  The Web site from 2002 - 
www.ksarrl.net/qso/2002ksqso.htm - doesn't work and emails to last year's 
sponsor go unanswered.

Sorry I'm a few days late on this one.

I don't agree, especially since many actual copying mistakes have this exact
symptom.  I think this should be a wake-up to the transmitting station to
pay attention to what his computer is saying about him.

There is at least one program out there which is smart enough to compensate
for most situations where some other programs could send the unintended
number.  It is user-configurable to send the number of the last QSO under
these circumstances.  It works good, but the bottom line is listen to your
own code, and don't cause someone else to get dinged becuase of your own
errors.

I don't like loosening up the accuracy requirements just to compensate for
lazy operating.

Or did I miss something and it has always been this way?

Is it true that the League is coming out with a Top-11 box?

Ron got it partially right when he makes this error-free statement:

However, he did not catch that neither station (WC4I or WC4E) submitted a
log in your example.

In your scenario, since no logs were submitted that could prove that you did
not work WC4I, WC4I would just be marked as a Unique in your log, and no
credit lost for the QSO.

Dear Contesters,

Please check the CQ WW web page at http://www.cqww.com to see that your log 
was received at ssb@cqww.com. Besides your call, your category is listed.

The CQ WW Contest Committee wants to thank the thousands of contesters who 
have successfully transitioned to the Cabrillo format. By submitting a 
Cabrillo log you not only insure any errors that we might make are greatly 
reduced, you also make the work of the CQ WW Contest Committee much easier. 
Thank you!

If you have not submitted a log for the SSB CQ WW please do not be 
intimidated by Carbillo, we will help you out if you need help. By submitting 
your log no matter how small (we have already received logs with 1 and 2 
QSO's), you will make the CQ WW better for everyone.

The CQ WW CW records have been updated through 2001.

From: ve4xt@mb.sympatico.ca (Kelly Taylor)
Date: Sat Nov 30 20:36:38 2002
Subject: [CQ-Contest] 2002 ARRL SS Phone contest
Message-ID: <001901c289dd$1147efa0$0100a8c0@joe>

Greetings all,

I will once again be authoring the writeup for next weekend's contest for
QST. There won't be line scores but there will be more space for story and
pictures. I need your help.

I'll be up to my elbows in SS myself, and the Gulfstream II is in the shop,
so I won't be able to fly around collecting photos. So please try to keep in
mind that every good magazine article needs some good pictures to go with
it. If you have a digital camera, or a means to digitize photos, please try
to have someone take some snaps. (Multiops, especially, should have no
trouble finding someone to press the shutter release.)

Here's what I'd like:
1. Candid photos of humorous situtations during the contest or during set-up
or take-down periods. It would be great if these were situations aside from
obvious op-at-radio shots.
2. Portrait-like photos: if you have a sneaking suspicion you're in Top 10
in any category, please try to have a photo of yourself, perhaps in all your
post-contest, unshaven (or otherwise depending on gender), stressed-out
glory, smiling into the camera with the station used in the background.
3. Artsy photos: close-up of your FT1000 Mk V tuning knob and readout;
time-delay exposure of your aluminum farm with the stars moving across the
sky; etc. Be creative. Please, only those radios or antenna farms used for
SS, but arsty pics need not be taken during the contest.

Technical specs: publishing electronic photos to magazine-like quality
requires considerable resolution. But the details aren't that complicated.

Resolution: 300 dpi
Size: eight inches on the long side.
File size: should be about 600 kB or larger. (Don't hesitate to send larger
files.)

E-mail your photos to my work address: kelly.taylor@freepress.mb.ca

I will likely get more pix than I need, so I will offer what I don't send to
QST to contesting.com, if they would like them.

73, kelly

It was more of a general statement to everyone to submit a log ... even 
if it's just a checklog.

For more reading on log checking, UBN reports, and how uniques are 
handled, check out http://www.cqww.com/ubn-nil.html

Hi Richard,

I'm using a USB-> Serial adapter. I got it from the local
PC dealer. I can't tell you exactly the brand, but it
wasn't a popular company.

The adapter is working great. I'm using it for radio
controlling (TS850 or FT1000) with my notebook.

Even CW Out in comination with writelog is working
great on the serial adapter.

Zoli, HA1AG is describing on his webpage at QSL.NET
a PCMCIA controller which supplies you 4 (!) serial
Ports for quite a good prize ( I believe it was less
than $50). But I couldn't find a german dealer
who's selling the adapter.

My experience:

Bad calls that are not sometimes get removed from your log.  I have QSLs & even
a copy of the license of one station which had been deemed to be bad calls in
CQ WW.

Do not hesitate to approach CQ WW committee about such calls.  They are
reasonable.  However, expect them to put some extra effort to turn other Us 
into
Bs as a result of your effort to convince them that some Bs were Us - end 
result: not
worth the effort.

Uniques _are_ removed from CQ WW RTTY logs.

Since RTTY isn't a "real" mode, this should not worry most here.

I really don't understand why the RTTY log checkers think that they're in their
own little world when it comes to log checking.  Witness the fiasco about
marking QSOs with UA9S stations as invalid when the UA9S sent Zone 17 instead
of Zone 16 which is what the log checking software expected.  *EVEN THOUGH
EVERYONE COPIED THE SAME ZONE FROM HIM!*

I don't understand why they can't look outside of their opaque bubble and learn
how these problems are dealt with in the real world.

That doesn't seem like a fair application of the process.  Is this 
what CQ says, or is it supposition based on human nature, i.e. "Oh 
yeah, I'll show him"?

That's been my experience with trying to reason with them over the 
log-checking process.

Well - which is more fair?

1. A non-automated process applied unevenly to a few logs. (This is the
old method of log checking before about 12 years ago).

2. An automated process that is evenly applied to all logs without any 
special consideration given to any log.

3. An automated process applied to all logs, and a few of them get special
consideration where each possible questionable judgement is challenged
without any possibility of an equal amount of attention given to possible
errors that could result in the score being reduced?

Most log checking processes I know of will default to give credit unless some 
criteria for busting the QSO is met.  The criteria should be sufficient to have
a high degree of confidence that a call is wrong.  In some cases, the wrong
decision might be made (when some number of improbable events line up). 

However, it should be even more likely that there will be callsigns that are
really bad - but the checking process was unable to determine what the bad
callsign was...  and therefore it was counted as a good QSO with a unique 
callsign.  Some manual work on the part of the log checker can probably 
figure out what the busted call is - but they don't have time to do this
for all logs - so it gets done for none (except maybe for a pair of logs
that are very close in the results).

For example, in the ARRL DX contest - the log checking really stinks.  I 
would estimate that only about 25 percent of errors made are detected by
the program.  Also, maybe one out of 100 of the bad calls is really good...
so the process isn't perfect.  However, I would argue that it is effective.

Trying to improve the error detection in the ARRL contest will result
in a significant increase in the false bust rate - which I think would
be too high to defend.  

I think that applying this process to all logs - without special consideration
is the most fair way to use it.  When someone comes up with a case where
the wrong decision was made...  I will look to see if a process change can
be made to address that specific case - which can then be used to re-run all
of the logs.

I think the important point to take away from this is that the first objective
of the log checking process is to make sure the order of finish is correct.
In other words, that the right person is winning the contest.  I think having
a totally defendable 100 percent correct log checking report is not the goal.

In the NBA - no ref gets all of the calls right.  However, they tend to get 
most of them right and the errors tend to average out (and this coming from a 
Portland Trailblazer fan no less).

It wouldn't be fair to let one of the teams challenge each call that goes
against them without the other team having the same opportunity.

As far as AA4GA's comment about log checkers not being willing to work
with him - I would sure like to know which contest that was for??  CQ WW?
What specifically was the problem?  I don't believe this is the normal
experience for people who approach them.

Forgot all about UA9S - I should check these things more closely, but when 
I see
a mainland China zone 23 contact in my log thrown out because I logged what the
station sent & that station sent the correct zone as bits of mainland China are
indeed in zone 23, I need not look further.

Obviously, official calls are not available for some countries.
However, the US, JA, and most of Eu do have official databases.

Just taking the US alone, I can download the latest FCC database,
filter it to remove some calls, and then have a perfectly reliable
database of good US calls. Now, reverse engineer it, and you have a
database of calls which are not issued. Run every US call in the logs
against this database, and you have a clear idea of "busts".

If you limited the database to 4 and 5 letter calls, it's even more
ridiculously simple.

Tree and I have been discussing this privately, but since he went 
public, I'll respond in public.

Yes, it was CQWW.

> What specifically was the problem?  

I've discussed the situation several times here on the reflector, but 
Tree must not have noticed...besides having a life, he's been 
teaching computers how to compare logs.

Basically, I had a multiplier removed because the other station 
failed to log a QSO.

It was in this case.

Tree has, however, assured me that the log-checking procedures have 
been changed such that in a similar circumstance today, the 
multiplier would not be removed from my log.

That does show progress.  Further progress would include penalties 
for the offending station.  

The CQWW log-checkers don't claim 100% accuracy.  They're too smart 
to do that.  *I* certainly don't have the answer.  I do know that it 
doesn't sit well with me when I'm on the receiving end of an 
"acceptable" injustice.

AD1C <jjreisert@alum.mit.edu jjreisert@alum.mit.edu commented: "Uniques
_are_ removed from CQ WW RTTY logs. I really don't understand why the RTTY
log checkers think that they're in their own little world when it comes to
log checking.  Witness the fiasco about marking QSOs with UA9S stations as
invalid when the UA9S sent Zone 17 instead of Zone 16 which is what the log
checking software expected.  *EVEN THOUGH
EVERYONE COPIED THE SAME ZONE FROM HIM!* I don't understand why they can't
look outside of their opaque bubble and learn
how these problems are dealt with in the real world."

First, I'm not sure how/why any RTTY log checking should be of any interest
to some of those subscribed to "this here" reflector, as you have so stated
so well, "RTTY isn't a real mode"! I admire any/all log checkers, and have
very little interest as to how the logs are checked, as long as the same
process is applied to all logs! I believe that is being done! I'm sure there
is "room for improvement", just as I'm sure that "improvement" will come?
Much of the "gnashing of teeth" comes from some that have indicated, more
than once, "contesting should be fun"? Just remember: "those that make you
angry, have control over you"!
My contesting theory: 1) Operate as much as I care to, 2) Have fun, 3) Send
in my log, unedited, 4) Trust the log checkers, 5) Get ready for the next
one!

My experience with the CQWW guys agrees with Tree's assessment.  They were
polite and willing to explain in detail what had happened.  Perhaps it
depends on how you approach the issues with them.

I walked away from several email exchanges having even more confidence in
their log checking.

Seems to me that what Tree said was that the most important thing is 
uniformity of treatment.

If you lose a mult when you are sure you had a QSO, but the QSO is not in 
the other station's log, then there are a variety of possible explanations 
reflecting culpability on the part of either station .  In CQWW, without 
serial numbers or any variable in the exchange, there's no solid way to 
tell if he didn't log you, or you thought you worked him when he was 
working someone else.

Which log-checking/penalty approach is chosen is always arguable, and can 
evolve from year to year.  It seems to me it's very important that we all 
have a clear expectation of being treated the same at any given time.  That 
way, if the problem is, for example, stations that don't log domestic QSOs 
in CQWW, we can put all sorts of social pressure on them to quit this 
despicable practice.

Not a good idea.  For example ...

Most stations will log me as WD4AHZ ... some log me as WD4ASZ.

WD4AHZ WAS in the contest ... WD4ASZ was not, but is a legitimate call.

Using your method, WD4ASZ would be "good" ... even though it's an 
obvious "bust"?  Is THIS how you want the logs scored?

It's made even worse if I don't send in a log for cross-checking purposes.

  Seems as though a lot of folks don't remember the days
prior to computer logging.
  It was a system that was easily manipulated, since not all
logs were checked.
  I get dinged as well as most others, but it is still a
lot better than it used to be.
  Oh yeah, it's a lot easier to log and submit today than
30-40 years ago!

Not at all. The log checking program in its present form would find
the "bust" when compared against your log, and I commend you for
sending it in. Those who logged WD4ASZ would unfortunately get credit.

But, I think you have missed the point. The purpose I proposed will
not help in the above problem, but ( and I am assuming the following
calls are not issued ), if someone logged you WB4AHZ, and that call is
not issued, they get a bust without any doubt. And there are numerous
other combinations of your call which may or may not be issued.

My suggestion was to make it a 100% certainly that a call which is not
issued, for example my old call in 1955, K4DJC, will generate a
guaranteed bust.

Just for fun, I removed all but the calls from my 2002 SSCW log, and
the wrote a short program which compared my log against the actual
database. It found 2 calls which were not issued. I then checked them
against my Buckmaster CDROM, and on QRZ.com and all 3 confirmed that
no such call had been issued.

And yes, after a couple of friendly arguments with the robot, I had
submitted my log BEFORE i did this.

Obviously there are a variety of reasons why a QSO would not appear in the
other station's log.  

While I think it's unlikely this reason was what happened to Lee, I can
think of at least one situation where the not-in-log-real-QSO *should* cost
someone a mult..  And yes, I'm about to bring back up a past debate...

Specifically, when someone's running without IDing with reasonable
frequency.

It is of course quite common in some contests to encounter people running
without IDing after every QSO.  When I run across an ending QSO, if I don't
*know* the running station is a dupe, (i.e., they didn't ID) I'll dump in my
call.  If the running station comes back, I say "CALL? 5NN 04".  Usually,
the response is something like "TU DX0XD".  However...

Sometimes the response is simply "TU".  I'll sit around for another QSO
(maybe more if they sent Zone 26<grin>) but if they haven't IDd by then, the
QSO is scratched.  

Now it's very unlikely anybody's going to lose their W or Zone 4 multiplier
that way!  It will show up as a bad QSO in the log-checking process.

And IMHO it should.  You obviously can't have a valid QSO if both operators
don't know each other's callsigns.

There are several things that should be considered when, through one method or 
another, you know for certain that you worked a particular station  but the log 
checking process showed the QSO as a unique, busted call or not in log:

1.  The other guy may have sent his call wrong.

2. There may be a pirate using someone else's call or a fictional call.

3.  Someone may accidentally send someone else's call instead of his.  This is 
possible in some logging programs. (i.e. in CT hit F5 instead of F4)

4. The station that actually came back to you was someone other than the 
station you were calling.  This happens a lot as I have confirmed by replaying 
tapes of QSOs.

5.  You may have typed the other station's call wrong.

6.  The other guy may have typed your call wrong.

7. The other guy may have accidentally erased your call from his log.

8.  You may be depending on a packet spot for the other guy's call and it is 
wrong on the Packet spot.

9.  Gremlins may have invaded your head and you are imagining things.

Remember E equals I times R is not just a good idea.  IT'S THE LAW!!!

If the log checking process declares calls as bad despite my receiving
requests for QSLs from those stations, or because VU3s do not exist, or
seemingly on a hunch (a VS6 portable DU _must_ be dodgy), I & perhaps
others are being docked for perfectly valid Qs.

On the first pass, all Us that were -Bs were identified as such.  To go back
later & decide more Us were in fact -Bs is not only counterproductive (by
discouraging bringing anything up to begin with), but also begs the question
why they weren't called -Bs the first time around.

Dock me for my mistakes.  But docking me for other stuff when there may not
be much room for improvement as I strive to work my way up the CQ WW
Honor Roll isn't on.

Looking forward to seeing if submitting entries with a dozen or two Qs at most
solves this - it should also do wonders about those pesky QSLs.  ;^)

Not deleting uniques, being a bit more cognizant of where bits of the world
are - perhaps even considering what has been developed over the years
for log checking in mainstream contests?

If you are after setting a record or competing at the continental level, you
too might begin to wonder what's the point of struggling to work some
weak guy that may be deleted from your log as he didn't work enough other
stations during the contest....

Otherwise, I agree with Shelby's get-on-&-have-fun approach.

Your idea would give credit for WD4ASZ, and any other "issued" 
combination of my busted call, which I disagree with.

The "current" log checking process, would "ding" WD4ASZ, WB4AHZ, and any 
other combination that cannot be verified (not issued, busted as 
verified by comparing logs, etc.)

I fail to see how your idea would improve log-checking ... it'll allow 
more "bad" QSO's to be counted, which is NOT the point of log-checking.

First, Most uniques stay in the final log.  Only one contest removes uniques
and if you don't like that write or e-mail the sponsor and then if no
results don't work the contest!

Years ago the process was to cross check as many as the checkers had time
and remove dupes that were not removed (when found).   Don N4IN is generally
given credit for identifying uniques and starting to take action.   He would
enter all calls in a file on a TRS-80 and list out by call each unique.
However he did not remove uniques.  He did this for two reasons...1.
Because he had the time 2. Some DX had far more uniques that the rest of the
contestants.  This also gave him a second layer of cross checks.

What the modern log checking has evolved into is two layers of testing...

1.    Cross checking all contacts no matter how large or small the log for
logs received and
        in electronic format.  Having one format such as cabrillo makes this
easy on the                 checkers plus gets the results done faster!

2.    All uniques and busts are then identified and the resulting file for
the contest contains the checked log along with all UBN's.  N or not in log
are removed and penalty applied.
B or busts are identified by fuzzy logic which has been proven to be
accurate.  These are removed as many are dupes.  Uniques are checked and at
least in my checking most are
left are pure uniques but some are marked for review by the log checkers in
the file.  If a log is clean with no exceptions the log is made final.  The
exceptions noted are reviewed by several criteria.  They are good unless
proven bad by the checkers.  The checkers make final changes to the logs and
the final file is made ready for reporting.

What has happened is all the logs are now given equal and fair treatment.
At least in the CQ 160 Contests the final scores are thus more fair and
accurate.  I think the ARRL and the CQ WW contests are the same way.

Now if we can find a way to make sure a log is received.  Every year several
who claim to have send a hand log don't get in and the same for e-logs.
Some e-logs just get lost.  If they are not on archive at the robot or in my
e-mail log files I have no way to know if the contestant sent one.  The
final court is to get a copy of the robot reply with the log number.  Every
year one or two can't show this thus they get left out.

Larry has pointed out a bunch of situations that may result in 
NIL...here are my comments on 'em:

Since the pirate is probably not going to send in a log, it most 
likely wouldn't result in a ding.

> 3.  Someone may accidentally send someone else's call instead of his.

Then the QSO should not be removed from my log.  It is an error of 
the sending station...but similar to #2 in that there probably won't 
be a ding due to no log sent in under the wrong call.

> 4. The station that actually came back to you was someone other than

Yes it does, and probably both stations should be penalized, as the 
QSO was not properly completed.  That's not what happened in my case 
BTW.

> 5.  You may have typed the other station's call wrong. 

If I typed the other station's call wrong, I should get dinged.  But 
my understanding of the software is that it is smart enough to 
determine that that is what happened and righteously removes the QSO 
and assesses the appropriate penalty...assuming it was a fairly 
simple typo.

> 6.  The other guy may have typed your call wrong. 

Then he should get dinged.  Again, I think the software will likely 
flag that.

> 7. The other guy may have accidentally erased your call from his log. 

Then *he* should be penalized, not me.

> 8.  You may be depending on a packet spot for the other guy's call and
> it is wrong on the Packet spot. 

No one should rely on a packet spot to get a callsign.  You should be 
assessed double the normal penalty for logging a call based on a spot 
rather than copying the call....no that couldn't be enforced 
equitably either.

> 9.  Gremlins may have invaded your head and you are imagining things. 

If that's the case, then I should be dinged.  While that may happen, 
in my situation, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case.

So there are lots of situations where it's not so cut-and-dried.  
Yet, with a "rule" that says if you're NOL you're automatically SOL, 
in some cases the offending station is not penalized, and the 
innocent party is.

That's why I don't like it.  Plus, it happened to me.

Oh well...that's just the way it is.

If it is truly unique it probably won't be.  You win on this one, or at
least break even.

A fictional call, as in one that is not issued at all, will be a b- and
be removed with penalty.  If the call does exist but is not someone in
the contest again you probably break even and get the qso.  If they
happen to pick someone's call they just heard up the band in the
contest, and that participant doesn't work you so you are in their log,
again you lose with a nil that gets removed with penalty.

again, if this is actually the call of another participant who sends in
a log and you don't really work them, you lose with a nil and penalty.
If it's a call of someone who doesn't send in a log then you break even
and get the qso.

If the station that came back to you got your call and report, even
though you meant it for someone else and they log it, they will lose
because they are not in your log.  However if you accept their response
instead of the real station you were calling you will lose also as you
will log the exchange for a station you don't work so you are nil...  if
there is any doubt that the right station came back to you, you can try
to straighten it out by sending the call of the station you thought you
were calling before you send a report so the respondents know who it is
meant for.... or just call the station you really wanted to work again
and ignore the other guy... or work the other guy and then try to work
the one you really wanted again.... too many options here.

Simple typos (one letter off type of things) will be matched up so the
other guy doesn't lose credit when his log is checked against yours.
You could still lose credit if the call in your log ends up as bad or
nil.

Again, if he is close enough for the software to figure it out you will
get credit but he may lose.

Oh well, in this case you lose due to no fault of your own.  Not much
that can be done with this one.

I'll agree on this... always be sure you copy the other guys call,
ESPECIALLY if it is from a packet spot!

"Oh well" is right.  As long as they administer the same rules to all
the logs hopefully it all evens out in the end.

On a slightly different vein...
Personally I don't like the way the cqww rtty logs get processed
differently than other cqww logs.  But after all it is a more demanding
mode that when done properly should result in fewer errors in the logs,
so it kind of makes sense to hold it to a higher standard.  I do believe
the zone discrepancy problem they had last year will be fixed in the
checking process this year.  And I hope they find some better way to
deal with 'uniques', there are always those 'nice guys' who get on and
work one or two of their friends and then go watch football because they
don't like contests... they should not cause their friends to be
penalized.

How do you propose the log checking computers detect this?

If the bootlegger were using the call of a station who was in the 
contest and who sent in a log, you'd get dinged.  Again, how would the

Like #1 and #2, the log checkers have no way to know this.

Do I need to say it again?  ;-) The log checking computer has no way to 
know this!  And, as with #1, #2, and #3,  without a tape recording, no 
one would.

This happens to EVERYONE.  That's sort of the point - blindly equal treatment

Exactly.  There is no way to know this, yet the credit is removed 
blindly.  You are guilty if you can't prove yourself innocent.

<SIGH> I really don't understand how people can be so accepting of a 
process that penalizes them, while not penalizing the offending 
party, justified by "every one is treated the same way".

It's pretty obvious I'm one of the few who is offended by this.  Like 
I said before.  Oh well.  I'm still not happy with it, but there's 
nothing I can do about it.

Interesting thing about ARRL contests is this: none of these situations is
relevant.

Not entirely sure how detailed CQ rules are on this issue, but ARRL rules
provide no allowance for anything but the correct sending, receiving and
logging of callsigns and exchange information by both sides. If one side
fails, the letter of the rules state that both sides lose the contact. Now,
to be sure, the rules are not applied that stringently (if he busts your
exchange, you keep your Q, he loses his), but it IS what they say.

So if the other guy sends his call wrong, and you therefore copy the wrong
call correctly, the log checkers have only the rules to fall back on. They
don't know if you busted the copy or he busted the sending simply because
the rules do not provide for fault.

I would encourage anyone who doubts this to read the rules, ARRL General
Rules for HF Contests.  (Sec. 3.1, I believe.) You will not find anywhere in
those rules "...except for when one station sends the wrong call."

Computerized log checking simply applies the log-checking goal that has
ALWAYS existed to all logs, not just a select few. That goal is to ensure to
the best ability possible that the order of finishes is correct.

Log checking had far more warts in the pre-computer days than today. We just
didn't hear about them.

There are several things that should be considered when, through one method
or another, you know for certain that you worked a particular station  but
the log checking process showed the QSO as a unique, busted call or not in
log:

1.  The other guy may have sent his call wrong.

2. There may be a pirate using someone else's call or a fictional call.

3.  Someone may accidentally send someone else's call instead of his.  This
is possible in some logging programs. (i.e. in CT hit F5 instead of F4)

4. The station that actually came back to you was someone other than the
station you were calling.  This happens a lot as I have confirmed by
replaying tapes of QSOs.

5.  You may have typed the other station's call wrong.

6.  The other guy may have typed your call wrong.

7. The other guy may have accidentally erased your call from his log.

8.  You may be depending on a packet spot for the other guy's call and it is
wrong on the Packet spot.

9.  Gremlins may have invaded your head and you are imagining things.

Remember E equals I times R is not just a good idea.  IT'S THE LAW!!!

I'm going to have to disagree with Mark here.  Both CT and NA are
notorious for sending the wrong QSO number by 1.  TRLog probably
shares this characteristic.  This is especially true in multi-operator
situations such as my operation at N6VR in last week's SS CW.  But
even when operating as a single operator there are numerous scenarios
where CT and NA will send the wrong QSO number.  Automatically
penalizing either the receiving station or the transmitting station
for this would contribute nothing that advances the purposes that log
checking was intended for... It might, perhaps, automatically penalize
operators that use computers for logging or automatically penalize
multioperator stations.  I really don't believe this would contribute
to the contesting art.

Apparently, you would have every single NIL count as a valid QSO.

So why do log checking at all?

Good deal, Leigh.

Uh, probably?  Perhaps it is a matter of opinion or perhaps it is
quantifiable.  I don't believe TRlog shares this characteristic.  I believe
TRlog is smarter than CT and NA and has been designed to minimize this
problem.

It would be interesting to me to know if anyone who checks their errors
against tape can say "oh yes, 19% of my errors are caused by this."  It
would then be interesting to compare this statistic to the software being
used to log.

Contesters,

I just program 2 message keys (TR) for # and # - 1, for fills.  All you 
have to do is remember whether you are S&P (# - !) or running (#).

If there is a better way to do this, someone please tell me.

Ron,
If you set AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT = TRUE (default is false) (this is 
available in the CtrlJ menu).....
[From the manual]
If you have programmed a S&P exchange that includes a QSO number, you might 
find yourself in the following situation: You have just logged a station, who 
is now asking for your report again. If you press F2, you will send the next 
QSO number, which will be one more than the one you sent the first time. To 
fix this problem, if you set AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT to TRUE and press F2 
when both the call and exchange windows are empty, the QSO number will be 
reduced by one.

Hope this helps.

I understand that one of the major contests' log-checkers are planning to 
test the "time machine" devices that were demoed at Dayton last year (I've 
lost the URL).  These gadgets record 80 kHz of any band, 6 hours at a time, 
on video tape, complete with timestamps.  Playback is through a receiver.

At least in theory, this technology would enable after-the-fact checking of 
every QSO.  I can see doing this in a situation where log checking decides 
the #1/#2 in a contest, but it seems to me that it would be way too 
time-consuming for much broader use.  I still think that treating all 
entrants the same, regardless of the details of the rules in a particular 
contest, is fundamental to a perception of fairness.  In that respect, the 
computer log-checking currently practiced by CQ and the ARRL remains the 
gold standard.

You don't even have to remember -- program the appropriate function key 
(CQF1 or S&PF1, for example), and the program will send the right one, 
depending on the mode it's in.

Hmmm...  I wouldn't be too quick to include TRLog with the other two 
logging programs. I have only operated multi-2 once and single op the rest 
of the time with TRLog but my UBN reports have NEVER shown a busted serial 
number by + or - 1 from the other station.

At any rate, if your station is spewing out erroneous serial numbers 
someone should be penalized; perhaps the software author? :-)

Yep.

AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT = TRUE

It's a beautiful thing.  Completely eliminates the problem of sending a
QSO number that's "off by one", and doesn't require the operator to think
about which button to push or, Heaven forbid, have to send something
manually.

As far as I know, Tree didn't patent this brilliant feature, so I wish the
other software writers would consider adopting a similar approach.

when this happens it is necessary to make sure that the QSO under the cursor is 
the correct one, then NA sends the correct QSO SN.  I try and most of the time 
make sure that the correct SN has been sent.

I do operate 99.999% of the time with only 1 tx and Rx.  I suspect that some 
ops don't know how to use the software they have.

Contesters,

I just program 2 message keys (TR) for # and # - 1, for fills.  All you 
have to do is remember whether you are S&P (# - !) or running (#).

If there is a better way to do this, someone please tell me.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Log Checking - you guys are right
Message-ID: <3DD3745D.9649.452B21@localhost>

Based on all the traffic on the reflector and the private email I've 
been getting from many different folks, I have been convinced.  

Yes, I am missing the big picture, and the only way any of us should 
put any faith in the contest results is by having the logs checked as 
fully as possible.

If you're NIL, you should lose the QSO without exception.  It doesn't 
matter if you have audio tape or QSLs or notarized affadavits from 
the other station - the workload for the log checkers would be much 
too heavy to investigate the bad Qs.  If it was really a good QSO 
you're getting dinged for, well tough.

I think it should be taken farther though...if we're in for penny we 
should be in for a pound (isn't that the old saying?).  I'm saying 
don't do it halfway.  If you have any unique callsigns in your log at 
all, they should be removed unless the station with whom you are 
claiming credit sends in a log to corroborate the QSO.  After all, 
that's what precipitated this whole discussion.

We have software developed by the log checkers that can pretty much 
reconstruct a log for a station that does not send one in (for 
contests with meaningful exchanges of information - particularly a 
serial number)...with enough accuracy to prove whether or not a 
claimed QSO with the non-entering station is valid.  

Otherwise, I would suggest that if the other station does not send in 
a log, the credit should not be allowed for the QSO, because it is 
impossible to verify that such a QSO actually took place.  I think 
this should be implemented anyway for contests with no meaningful 
exchange, such as CQWW.

These changes are easy to do within the log-checking framework we 
have now.  It's actually somewhat easier, in that there would be no 
human intervention required to determine if Us should be converted to 
Bs.  The only thing to add would be a small routine to delete all 
calls for which there was no log submitted.  That should be pretty 
easy.

To do less is to lessen the integrity of the results.  Each and every 
QSO must be verified in some way or it should not count.  Anything 
less is indefensible.  

I have seen the light.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] A Higher Level of Unique
Message-ID: <00ba01c28bfa$9132b6e0$27d7fea9@mirage>

All the discussion about log checking and what transgressions shalt be dinged 
has omitted one aspect of the sport which I maintain is unique and should 
strongly color its adjudication.  Radio contesting consists of cooperative 
interactions between the participants.  It is not all of us shooting at 
individual targets or knocking each other down (well, mostly) or running ahead 
of everyone else.  The winners are the ones that have the most successful 
two-way exchanges of information with other participants.

Because of the two-way requirement, judging must be based on the satisfaction 
of that requirement by BOTH parties.  While you may bemoan the occasional 
incompetence of the other participant, that does not affect the requirement to 
complete and record a valid interaction.  In fact, this goes back to the 
original intent of contests as ways of enhancing communications skills of all 
involved.  

All of the scenarios put forth over the past couple of days, even though blame 
may not lie with the party which is ultimately penalized, are examples of a 
failure to complete the valid two-way exchange of information.

This does add an element of strategy in that I need to judge whether I am 
likely to have a valid exchange with someone that calls.  We have all told a 
very weak caller, "Later", when it becomes clear that we are unlikely to be 
able to copy their information.  If someone calls in using their new 
Vibro-Bugamatic and can't send the letter "E" correctly twice in a row, then I 
will probably not log or their QSO or log it with zero points.  The balance 
must be struck between risk of penalty and the desire for additional points - 
that's why we don't just blow off everyone that isn't Q5.

It is to the credit of the log checkers that ONLY in cases where it is clearly 
demonstrable that the QSO was invalid with a high degree of probability is 
credit removed for the QSO.  It is completely true that the penalty is not 
always assessed in strict compliance with the proportion of blame - just like 
in real life. (one of which we should all attempt to get)  It is also 
completely true that these methods are applied equally to all competitive 
entries and that the results are neither secret nor unchallengeable.  If a 
better methodology can be demonstrated that can be acheived with the limited 
resources available, then I think it would be considered.  Until then, the 
present methods are, as has been pointed out, the gold standard.

This reminds me of a great George Carlin-ism - "Isn't it amazing that everyone 
that drives faster than you is an idiot and everyone that drives slower is a 
moron?"

Interesting.

2001 SS CW Contest netted 1301 logs (eyeball count -- I may be off a couple)

Based on the above:

K5ZD, with 1300 Q's, worked "everyone."

But, then, the following worked more:

Message-ID: <002f01c28bfd$d2f7b0f0$0100a8c0@TL01>

In the ongoing discussion about sending the serial number off by one and
getting in trouble, several other guys have done a good job of showing how
powerful and flexible TRlog is.  You have your choice of 3:

1. AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT = TRUE

2. #-1

3. Use the paddles wired through your serial port which send code with the
exact speed and weight of the program.  Standard equipment.  One of the nice
things about this, you old timers will remember you could stop your
electronic memory keyer by touching the paddle.  TR works this way.

But no matter what you use to make code, are we questioning whether it is or
is not the sender's responsibility to send the right #$%^ number, for
goodness sake?

I hope we are not questioning this.

I don't think this is a fair characterization at all.  I will not speak for 
CT or TR, but with NA there is a clear, definite logic as to the serial 
number sent:

THE SERIAL NUMBER SENT IS ALWAYS THE NUMBER OF THE QSO THE CURSOR IS ON

The problem comes when you've logged the QSO, and the station at the other 
end wants a repeat.  The correct way to do this is to MOVE BACK TO THAT QSO 
AND PRESS THE KEY TO SEND THE EXCHANGE.  However, some users don't do that 
- they just press the key (on the blank QSO line, since they just logged 
the QSO they are repeating) and hence send one higher than the number they 
should.

The answer to this, some will say, is that if the line is blank the 
previous number should be sent.  This will correct the described condition, 
but creates another.

Suppose you QRZ, and somebody dumps the call back fast and you can't get it 
entered; you send the call on the paddle then press the key to send the 
exchange.  To use another example from WPX or most any contest other than 
SS with serial numbers: you dump your call in a pileup, but you don't know 
the other station's call yet; he sends the exchange, you hit the key to 
reply with your exchange; on his QRZ you get his call and log the QSO.

Many years ago NA used to "send the previous number on a blank line", but 
we found it to be a problem.  The "always send the number the cursor is on" 
is certain, and experience has proven it to be less troublesome.  Other, 
"fuzzy logic" algorithms which guess at which the operator intends creates 
uncertainty and, I would argue, more errors.

My reason for using the bandwidth for this explanation is to make the point 
that NA (or CT or TR) are not *notorious* for sending wrong numbers.  As 
long as a certain set of keystrokes produces the correct result, the fault 
is operator error.  One can argue that a particular set of keystrokes might 
not be "user friendly", but that is a different discussion.

It's certainly not hard to come up with situations where someone is
wrongfully penalized a QSO or two and maybe even a mult.  I suppose if
someone disliked me badly enough they could open "w9wi@hotmail.com", do a
search-and-replace on his previous year's Cabrillo file to change his
callsign to mine, send it to "sscw@arrl.org", and get me DQ'd.  Maybe N1ND
needs to start requiring one to submit one's membership control number with
one's entry so that they know it's really W9WI submitting that log?

(No, I'm *not* serious!)

The only way to be absolutely certain you never wrongly delete a QSO is to
never delete a QSO.  At which point the scores even less reflect the actual
efforts.

There isn't $100,000 riding on the results of Phone SS.  Log checking isn't
perfect.  It's awfully good, and it's a whole lot better than it was a few
years ago.

And I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with Leigh.  In this situation, the
transmitting operator should be penalized.  (yes, I realize it's the
*receiving* op who *will* be penalized)  

You're responsible for the operation of your station.  If your rig doesn't
refuse to transmit on 14.355, it's not Yaesu the FCC is going to cite.  You
know, or should know, what serial number your software is sending.  If that
number is wrong, then it's your responsibility to interrupt the computer and
send the *right* number.  

(I don't recall having to interrupt TR at any point during CW SS, except
when I typed the other guy's call wrong!)

and I always enjoyed George Carlin's reason for not getting to mass on
Sunday: "and the chaplain goes into a coma and you're on a ship at
sea... But then, you cross the International Date Line!"

I usually just lurk here but this discussion is getting to be a bit
much.  All of these scenarios are statistically in the noise.  If
everyone is treated the same, as Mike said, the system "gets" everyone
equally.

It reminds me of an anecdote I heard recently, where a guy's parents had
just retired.  His dad was an accountant and just a bit, shall we say,
"meticulous" (read: anal), his mom was the artistic type (read:
disorganised and/or sloppy).  When his dad retired, he started looking
at the family checkbook, which mom had been keeping for years, and was
shocked to find that she never entered the cents, only the dollar
amounts.  After spending the better part of a month straightening out
the register, the total error was around 15 cents.  I suppose there
could be several morals to this story, but the obvious one is that some
things are not worth the effort.  It's only if results are REALLY close
where it's going to matter.

Of course not - the problem is detecting of when the sender screwed up.

If it's true that log checking really allows +/- 1 in the serial number 
(though I think +1 is enough) it is obviously in an effort to placate 
those who would complain (and rightfully so) that they "copied what was 
sent", yet were dinged because the sender screwed up.

This is another example of the log checking going out of its way to try 
to avoid penalizing the wrong party.  The fact that it also allows 
sloppy receiving to sneak through as well is unfortunate collateral 
damage.

Being a software developer myself I can easily understand how Dave
feels and thinks right now.  He's convinced that there's no way his
software can make this mistake.  And if I'd tested the NA software
before a contest and used it only in the most cosmetic of
circumstances I'd be in total agreement with Dave right now.  But I've
now used NA and CT in multioperator and single operator circumstances
over a decade and I'll still stand by my statement.  At W6EEN I've
done multioperator phone contests where a QSO number was send
"manually" by vocal chords with the two operators on the two bands
were touching elbows and there were still unrecoverable errors in
sending the proper numbers that could not be written off as operator
errors.

Dave, you should have been at W6EEN when we fired up NA 10.x for the
phone SS two years ago for 9 QSOs before we discovered that QSOs
logged on one of the two computers were being completely forgotten,
leaving only the QSOs from the other rig in the log.  We had to take a
half hour break in the first hour of the phone SS to load older
versions of NA to fix that.  4-5 guys are not in our log, even though
we clearly contacted them.

I've never been at a multioperator (networked) contest where there
weren't about 50 reboots of the computers.

Here's a scenario:

Rig #1 transmits CQSS W6UE (off) (Rig #2 finds K8CC CQing)
Rig #2 transmits K8CC de W6UE (off) (Rig #1 listens, hears K0RF
calling him)
Rig #1 transmits K0RF nr1MW6UE22LAX (off) (Rig #2 listens, hears "W6UE
nr1MK8CC64MI")
Rig #2 transmits K8CC nr1MW6UE22LAX (insert key!) (Rig #1 hears "W6UE
nr4MK0RF62CO")
Both rigs log exchanges and press enter.  One of the two QSO's goes
into the QSO#2 slot.

In multioperator situations it's impossible for the operators to know
which one of them has to send QSO #2 and which one of them has to send
QSO #1.  They only know that the octopus lets them transmit.  Without
the QSO# +/- 1 log checking rule one of the two first contacts will be
deducted from someone's log, and it wouldn't be W6UE's loss.

I hear a lot of guys with experience in antiseptic operating
environments talking about this issue as if it weren't their problem.
The trouble is that the receiving station is in danger of loosing a
contact whenever the transmitting station sends the wrong info.  I'm
sure that log checkers like Tree came up with the "QSO number +/- 1"
rule after the hard experience of putting their own logs through
automated log checking only to learn that a high percentage of
stations send the wrong contact number.

The "QSO number +/- 1" version of log checking rules was under attack,
and I'm willing to defend the practice.  That, after all, is what I'm
writing about.  I'm not attacking the software vendors.

Dave,
Glad you answered this. I have used all three and all ya gotta do is hit 
the enter
,plus, whatever AFTER the number has been confirmed. Failing that, you 
should be able to
send it by hand or keyboard.

The NRA says, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people."

Contest programmers say,  "Contesting software doesn't send the wrong
number, operators send the wrong number."

You need to know how your software works, but you can't make the other guy
know how his software works. I think one offs on numbers shouldn't bust the
QSO for that reason.

If I understand all of the nuances of loosing points due to
the other guy, if I don't send in my log, I can never hurt
the score of anyone else.

If I've been casually contesting, worked a few hundred,
not being careful with accurate logging, just giving out
QSOs, maybe even with repeated or skipped QSO numbers,
maybe not logging all QSOs, isn't it in all serious 
contestors best interest for me to keep my sloppy log
and not to submit it for log checking?

Message-ID: <20021115000705.80634.qmail@web40709.mail.yahoo.com>

Got my new QST the other day, and see that they have
removed contest rules and placed them on the internet
instead.  Guess I also saw this in the November issue,
but it really stood out in the most recent one.  In
the contest rules place, they have put "contest
announcements".  These contest announcements basically
describe the gist of the contest, and in my opinion,
they look like they are written for an 8 year old. 
They have little cutsy "Why you should enter this
contest" and "Quirks" sections.  I hope that things
haven't degraded so far that we have to use this type
of language to explain things to hams.  Just put the
rules back in and get away from the touchy feely
stuff.

They figure we are smart enough to go to the web to
read contest announcements, but not smart enough to
figure out why I should enter a contest.  Have you
ever noticed that every time QST takes something out
(contest scores, rules, section news) it usually gets
replaced with something that looks like it was written
for complete idiots.  Witness the "Doctor is in"
column.  I hope these are not real questions sent in
by readers.  If most of them are, the FCC definitely
need to think about toughening the licensing
requirements.

What's wrong with the CW operator sending CW now & then to manually correct
repeats?  That way, the number sequence is never impacted.  After all, we
are not robots.....or, are we?

Actually, that's not quite right.  In fact, not sending in a log is
one of the ways that
you can hurt the scores of those that you contact.  This is especially
true if you only
made a dozen or so contacts.  Perhaps the last thing you'd want to do
in today's
log checking environment is to come on the air from a rare multiplier
and work only
one or two of your buddies, then fail to send in a log.  Your buddies
will log you,
and when they hear an immense pile up on a guy operating from your
rare multiplier
they will happily tune away knowing they've already worked it.  Then
the log
checkers disallow your contact because it is a "unique" and your
friends lose out
big.

Greetings.


The Northern California Contest Club again sponsors its popular mini-Phone SS 
pre-contest event on Friday night at 2100 PST (0500Z Saturday).

SS Contesters from throughout the 80 ARRL Sections are welcome to participate 
on 
frequencies in the vicinity of 3850 on 75 meters and 7240 on 40 meters for 
20-minutes following the 2100 PST start.

Consider using the NCCC mini-SS to carry out last minute equipment, software 
and 
antenna checks, or to simply renew your possibly cob-webbed familiarity with 
the 
contest exchange.

All are welcome to join NCCC members on 3830 at 2120 to report scores and 
discuss contest matters.

We look forward to seeing you.

Hi,
I am contest manager for the Finnish Radio Relay
League, SRAL, and I am following this ARRL approach
of trying to lure newcomers to contesting.

I will likely try something similar, time will tell.

But truth is we need more contesters.

I would like to have more stations making close to
mid-range scores, not trying to let things fall
like they seem.

More and more people are on for just an hour or less
and that is not really satisfactory for contests.

How to improve that, I do not know.


One fact I have found is the contesters participating
actively are not the target group for these attempts
of trying to lure newcomers.
I believe already contesting individuals will accept
this point in some time.
A change is in process and changes are seldom easy.

The change in the magazine and overall information
sharing structure has to be done somehow to get the
main goal achieved.

Message-ID: <004801c28cac$b097d800$0100a8c0@joe>

Hi all,

My feeling is that the changes in QST are not designed to cater to us.

Is that a bad thing? I do not believe it is, for several reasons. How many
of us after 20 years of SS or more still need to look at the same set of
rules? Moreover, how many of us on this reflector, having proven ourselves
duly capable of Internet navigation, can't go to the ARRL site for a
refresher should we need one?

Has QST dumbed down? I'd hardly consider a treatise on PIC programming
"dumbing down." Is QST attempting to bring new contesters into SS, DX, etc?
I sure as hell hope so.

Will the status quo of running just the rules do that? Not in a million
sunspot cycles. WE get the information we need from the running of rules,
but potential newbies skip right past. I think things like "Why you should
operate this contest?" are great. Bravo.

It's the same with the post-contest writeups. Page after page of grey will
not help sell contesting. Well-written contest reports with humour and
anecdotes play much better into the hands of people who could take or leave
contest reports. Those are the people QST needs to reach.

We can find what we need ourselves easily enough that we don't need QST to
hand it to us on a silver platter. That we can access that information via
an excellent Web-based database (thanks to N5KO and others) means we can get
more information than we could ever have dreamed possible in QST.

The way QST used to print results and announcements served us and largely us
alone. Well, we're coming back year after year anyway. We don't need a sales
job. We do, however, need to bring more people into contesting. I not only
accept the changes in QST, I celebrate them. Others should too.

QST is not, in my view, turning its back on contesters. QST is, however,
asking us to put our egos aside for the greater good. Are we big enough for
that?

Probably one of the reasons people are so "het up" over the issue of UBN's is 
the penalties assessed.
If the fault in creating a busted call in your log is the other guy's, why 
should you be penalized 3 QSOs?
Wouldn't it be fairer in the case of busted calls to simply delete the credit 
for the busted from your log?

Also, since the QSO was NOT a two way exchange, shouldn't it be deleted from 
the other station's log, too?

In the case of a "not in log" situation, however, the penalty should stay at 
three QSO's removed since this 
could conceivably be a case of claiming the QSO in hopes that the other station 
doesn't send in his log and
it will not be counted against the station claiming the QSO? 

If you really wanted to get nasty, if the claimed NIL QSO was a multiplier, 
penalized the offense by removing three multipliers!

I strongly agree with the people who have said that contesting is about making 
valid two way QSOs. 
If it is not two way it is not a QSO on the part of either station. 
The most important part of the exchange is the callsigns of both the stations.

In SS the exchange is equally important.  How about the ultimate in nastiness 
and assessing a penalty for each miscopied element of the exchange: 
3 QSOs for the callsign wrong and 1 QSO for each error in number, precedence, 
check or section?

BTW since I am in zone 4 but CT always shows me as being in zone 3 should I be 
penalized each time the other station has me as zone 3 in his log?
He should be, since I always send the 04 and if he doesn't catch it that is his 
fault.

I wonder if our esteemed log checkers could see how many times the wrong zone 
is shown in DX logs for some recent contests.

I disagree.  If you have contest programs that do not perform properly
either because of them, or poor operator use, your contact should not count
(for receive or transmit).

It is the responsibility of ALL to get it all right (including the
checkers).  Sloppy stuff and operation should not be accepted.  I have seen
a lot of ops just keep going even when they know contact info is wrong.
This should not be accepted when detected.

It takes time and effort to get proper contacts.  Those who take that time
and effort to get it right should not be allowed to be beaten by those that
don't. 

I agree with Mark, N5OT.

Sorry.

It's so.

Don't blame W3FRC (the contest's Special Event Bonus Station from the
Franklin Radio Club).

This is a choice made by the Pa QSO Party Committee, aka the Nittany ARC
Board of Directors.   Take it up with them.  Please.  I got about 2 dozen
emails from DX and West Coast hams complaining of this after the contest
(why me?  Because I posted the info about the contest here as a favor to
this year's PaQP chairman, so those kvetching assumed I am on the PaQP
Committee, which I AM NOT.  But, as they say, no good deed goes
unpunished...)

FWIW, there are a lot of us participants in the contest who hope that this
will change, and soon.  I was hoping to find a way to help them
electronically process logs, but those I contacted told me that for very
good reasons they declined the opportunity.

Pa QSO Party logs must be postmarked TODAY (11/15).  If you can't make the
deadline, go to the Nittany ARC web site, get the email address of the
chairman (I don't have it handy right now) and ask him for an extension.
Sorry, that's the best I can do for you.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Serial numbers off by one in SS
Message-ID: <20021115213326.GC31949@kkn.net>

I guess I haven't made this statement before (since it doesn't seem to be
general knowledge):

In the SS (and sprints) - if a received QSO number is off by one - it is 
not dinged as being wrong.  This practice was started in the CW Sprints
when I wrote the log checking software for it and was inherited by the SS
programs that were written afterwards.

There were just too many times where the error was caused by the sending 
station.  Since we haven't yet entered the age where a busted QSO is
removed from both logs - it didn't seem fair to put the full burden 
of off by ones on the receiving station.  Pretty hard to believe someone
copied "200" instead of "199".

There have been times when it was obvious that the sending station was
out of sync by more than one QSO for an extended length of time.  When
I see this - I remove the QSOs from the SENDING station - not from the
receiving stations.  This doesn't happen very often, but it is fun for
me when it does (other than being a pain to deal with as an exception).

I probably didn't announce this before, as I didn't want to soften the
image us log checkers enjoy as being hard bottomed, inflexible, robots who
haven't done any thinking about the ramifications of our decisions or
methods.

And, in case is still isn't clear, uniques are not removed in the SS 
unless they are identified as a busted call.  If anyone gets confused
on this point again, I will ask them to write it 100 times on the 
chalkboard.

It could be pointed out that there are VERY FEW real uniques worked
in the SS that aren't identified as bad calls - and most of them
that I see are "second QSOs" given out by "friends".  So - really, it
would probably be a good thing if they were tossed, but in the end, it 
really doesn't matter that much (unless someone's friend gets carried
away as has happnened once or twice in Louisiana and Western PA).

Is it being said here that in the case where a station receives an exchange,
logs it as actually sent, that it be recommended he NOT get credit for the
QSO because the TRANSMITTING station screwed something up?

This is exactly the situation that the log checkers try to avoid.

As far as any weaking of the process, let's not forget that log checking has
done anything BUT weaken the process.  I don't think there's a contester out
there who hasn't rethought the value of asking for repeats.

(This whole +/-1 rule is overblown here.  Note that in most cases of missing
a digit by one, the +/- 1 rule will not help.  Busting 753 to 853 will still
get you dinged.  If someone is cavalier about what he logs, he will get
nailed.)

These attempts at making everything black-and-white are unrealistic.  Log
checking cannot be all-knowing.  It must not be too harsh or cause
unnecessary collateral damage or risk scaring away casual operating, nor can
it afford to be too weak and then judged ineffective.  It cannot "know" what
was really sent, how much power an operator was using, or if plenty of other
mischief occurred.  Log checking is a compromise.

The fact that it was even considered to allow +/-1 is a testament to the
understanding these log checking guys have about the whole thing.  I'll bet
not one in twenty guys on this reflector ever thought of this scenario
(until now).  And suddenly we are now all experts! ;-)

Henry,

I have eight W9XT cards here.  Tying the mic and PTT grounds together will 
not hurt anything, but may cause hum on the transmitted signal.  This is 
usually a radio issue (ICOMs are particularly sensitive to this), but if 
the Omni has a common ground, then it should be OK.

One of the alleged virtues of Amateur Radio is that we are
self-policing.  I have an actual, living, breathing moral
dilemma to pose to contesters in the run-up to the CQ WW CW
contest.

I'm sure we are all pleased to know that there will be a
multi-op on contest-rare Sable Island during the CQ WW CW
this coming weekend.  You can learn more about CY0MM by
visiting their web site, www.dipole.com .

However, you may not be aware of one aspect of this
expedition.  You can find out more at
http://www.sugardelta.com/277sd0/index.html .

My inclination is to consider this combination injurious to
the reputation of this hobby with the radio regulatory
authorities in Canada, who licensed CY0MM.

Where, if anywhere, does self-policing fit in this
situation?  If this is an appropriate circumstance for
self-policing, what form should it take?

Thank you, Kelly.  Guys and gals...please consider which is more likely to 
cause a casual or non-contester to get on and operate...

This year - "Special Interest: Operators will travel to many interesting DX 
locations..."

or 

Last year's - "6.6.4. DXpedition scores may be included in the Medium and 
Unlimited club totals only."

We need to stop breathing our own exhaust and start selling others on what a 
whale of a lot of fun they can be having doing some contesting.  As I posted 
last week - the biggest challenge we have is reaching out to other hams.  This 
is one example of how to do it - by removing dry rules-and-regulations and 
replacing it with a little sizzle.  If you have better ideas for the sizzle, 
then by all means, let's have 'em!!

73, Ward N0AX

I don't know the Canadian rules relative to 11M, but I'm sure Riley would have
some interest if this dual-service dxpedition took place on US territory.

Hey, did you notice these guys have their own DXCC and Cluster.....

One would think if they don't want to process them electronically, they
could just print out the received files?  

I suppose in their defense, you never know what kind of files you're going
to get...  In the TN QSO Party, we ask for "any ASCII text format, Cabrillo
prefered".  Among the 53 e-mailed entries I got three Microsoft Word files,
an Excel spreadsheet, and a NA .QDF file.  

Still...  We only got eight paper logs.  If we had to process the other 53
manually, checking wouldn't be nearly as good as it is.

Is 11 meters allocated as a ham band anywhere in the world?

European Sprint Contest - Autumn SSB -  October 5, 2002
-------------------------------------------------------

The thirty-third EU Sprint has a new winner: Andy, UA2FB, operating
as RW2F who beat Roli, LY2FY, and Ton, ES5TV. Note that both LY2FY
and ES5TV were entering their first ever Eu Sprints! All the top
scorers did a great job on 20m, but 80m was noisy and conditions on
40m were fair.

Participation increased a little due to heavy publicity and the
QSO average per entrant is higher, too. The quality of entries is
increasing: we found relatively few errors. These entrants had
"Golden Logs" with no mistakes at all: EA3FHP, G0MRH, I2CZQ,
IN3FHE, OK1DSA, OM1AW, ON6LY, UT5UGR, and some others
only made one or two errors: congratulations!

Starting on November 1, 2002 the Eu Sprint finally has its own
web page at this address: <www.qsl.net/eusprint>. Here you will find
everything about the Eu Sprint: rules in several languages, results,
prizes and software to download. Please visit the page and help us to
keep it up. We want your articles about the Eu Sprint, share with us
your tactics and secrets!

The UBN will be public and available for everyone on our web page,
just click on a callsign to see the UBN report. If you have any
questions pertaining to the log checking procedure, please don't
hesitate to ask.

Thanks for your entry, 73!

I see that the word is getting around today. Saw some messages from W3UR posted
on the
DX cluster re: the SD0 URL and many comments as well.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I agree with Dave. This kind
of operation, if confirmed, can
only do harm to the Amateur community in general.

I will be following this thread with interest.

"     To prevent further confusion, we would like to make
the following statement:
     There is no 11 m operation from Sable Island.

Dave,

You bring up an interesting dilemna.

First, yes, while amateurs are for the most part self-policing (can't wait
for my next Popkin-gram, I know a young stamp collector who loves his
envelopes), the alleged freeband activity is taking place outside of
allocated amateur frequencies.  So I'm not sure if we should be doing
anything about the actual FB operation itself, so long as it does not use
amateur call signs (and from what I saw on that web site, I don't think it
will).  And this is by no means meant to condone illegal operation!  But if
it's outside the ham bands, it's (to my thinking) outside of our
"jurisdiction."

Second, having said this, I am saddened that one or more of the amateurs is
involved in this type of operation.  And that the other operators are
condoning it (have to be since the equipment listed for the "sugar delta" op
is some of the same amateur gear for the CY0MM DXpedition).

Third, should the actual "sugar delta" part of the operation take place, the
operators will have (in my mind) placed themselves in a poor light with
Industry Canada, and by extension cast the same poor light on the rest of
us.  So we should make our displeasure with this part of the operation known
to the CY0MM folks to discourage future actions of this type -- but NOT on
the air.

Fourth, if this should jeopardize the CY0MM license, it may also jeopardize
the DXCC acceptance of that operation.  Another reason to make our
displeasure known.

Finally... if you hear them during the contest, work 'em.  If they get DQ'd
by the CQ WW committee over this, it will happen after the fact.  That will
be their problem, not ours.

73, ron wn3vaw

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Are contesters self-policing?

One of the alleged virtues of Amateur Radio is that we are
self-policing.  I have an actual, living, breathing moral
dilemma to pose to contesters in the run-up to the CQ WW CW
contest.

I'm sure we are all pleased to know that there will be a
multi-op on contest-rare Sable Island during the CQ WW CW
this coming weekend.  You can learn more about CY0MM by
visiting their web site, www.dipole.com .

However, you may not be aware of one aspect of this
expedition.  You can find out more at
http://www.sugardelta.com/277sd0/index.html .

My inclination is to consider this combination injurious to
the reputation of this hobby with the radio regulatory
authorities in Canada, who licensed CY0MM.

Where, if anywhere, does self-policing fit in this
situation?  If this is an appropriate circumstance for
self-policing, what form should it take?

Hi Art,

It is my opinion that arranging specific schedules such as, "I'll meet you
on 14.005 at 1300Z on the first day" are against the rules if done outside
of the contest.  Of course, setting schedules DURING the contest is fine as
long as they are done over the air (no internet/telephone).

I don't, however, feel that saying something like, "I'll look for you on 20M
in the contest" is against the spirit of the rules, either on the air or via
the internet.

See you next weekend Art :))

Everyone has a story of their one or two uniques that they work every 
year.  Here are the ones I have so far in my SS CW log from W5WMU:

CALLSIGN CHECK RESULTS
----------------------
NG5X is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.
Calls with same check/section: KC5R

W5WU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 3.
Calls with same check/section: W5WZ

This is pretty good - since I don't appear to have any busted
calls (no, W5WZ is a different station than W5WU).

A few years ago, some of the locals got a little carried away, and I had
about a dozen unique QSOs - all from Louisiana.  I have since discouraged
this activity and asked that if they do work me, to also work some
other stations in the contest.

Here is another datapoint (from a top ten high power log):

CALLSIGN CHECK RESULTS
----------------------
K5MR is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.

K2AY is a busted call.  The correct call is K2UY.

NZ5DX is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.

K5NU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.
Calls with same check/section: W5AK W5VX W5UX KG5U

WB2UVV is a busted call.  The correct call is WB2VVV.

Here, it would appear that three "friends" got on to work this guy.
Note that WB2UYV was a unique until it got matched up to WB2VVV.

Then, if we look at a log with poor accuracy:

CALLSIGN CHECK RESULTS
----------------------
K4LA is a busted call.  The correct call is K4LTA.

W7ZKO is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 90.

VE3GX is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 238.
Calls with same check/section: VE3XB

W4SEX is a busted call.  The correct call is W4IDX.

N1SX is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 81.
Calls with same check/section: KA1O

N0AU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 358.
Calls with same check/section: W0EJ

KA4K is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 338.
Calls with same check/section: K0EJ KT5D

K0RW is a busted call.  The correct call is K9NW.

K4KG is a busted call.  The correct call is K5KG.

W9IVF is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 256.
Calls with same check/section: K8JQ

K1STV is a busted call.  The correct call is K1HTV.

NI9U is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 348.
Calls with same check/section: W9FL

VE3XX is a busted call.  The correct call is VE3XB.

N6BO is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 370.
Calls with same check/section: K7SV K4TX

N9RU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 654.
Calls with same check/section: W9SZ W9YK N9LV W9OL

KA8E is a busted call.  The correct call is KU8E.

KB4D is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 698.
Calls with same check/section: K3MM W3PO N3OC

N6YA is a busted call.  The correct call is N5YA.

KO0D is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1012.
Calls with same check/section: N8NX K8UT

W4ECR is a busted call.  The correct call is WB4ECR.

N4AM is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 769.
Calls with same check/section: KY5R K4XR

W1PJ is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 269.
Calls with same check/section: K1SM NB1B NK1L

How many of these unique callsigns are really unique?  I would guess
about zero of them.  However, since the exchanges also got mangled
enough, it is not possible for the software to match up the bad
callsigns to the correct ones.  Therefore, unless I go spend a lot
of time manually working on these, the unique QSOs will all count.

So - in my opinion, the price to be paid to count those 2 or
three real uniques in everyone's logs, is that people with poor
accuracy get to count a lot of their QSOs that should be busted.

If one of these guys ends up slightly ahead of you, were you really
better off being able to count that QSO with your Section Manager?

How about is someone has 30 friends get on and all work someone and
nobody else?  Is that really what we are trying to encourage in the 
contest?

In summary, it is very obvious to guys like me who look at all
of this data that the contest would be better off if we just 
tossed uniques in the SS (at least CW).  There just aren't that
many of them - and the results will be more fair.

Maybe someday, public opinion will agree.

on the

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I agree with Dave. This
kind

I will be following this thread with interest.

Tony:

You asked:

> Can someone explain to me what this SD stuff is?

As near I can figure, these are assumed call signs used by
unlicensed illegal "freeband" operators (those who operate
between the top of the 27MHz CB band and the bottom of 10
metres.

The first digits are a country number.  They use the ARRL
DXCC list, numbering the countries as they appear on that
list.  277 is Sable Island.

The "SD" (there are many other two-letter combinations)
refers to a particular club.  I don't know what, if anything
"SD" stands for.

The final digits are a serial number "identifying" the
individual operator or station.

This 277SD0 is a Sable Island operation by a member of the
"SD" club, and that operation is number "0."

This is just what I infer from my research since this matter
came to my attention yesterday.  I've never been involved in
this "freeband" stuff, or even CB radio, so I may be out of
my depth here.

Even in ASCII land, there are also 3 ASCII line ending conventions:

<lf> - Unix/Linux

anything other than the first seems to confuse folks.

Too bad it looks like it may take another 10 years just to cut over

First: the question.

We had a contact end up as a bad contact.  We know it now, as we worked
the guy AGAIN later on....  Do we trash the "bad" contact (the first Q
with the satation)?  If so, how will this affect log checking?

Now the observations:

I was very impressed with the number of new contesters on the air, and
especially of people having youngsters on the air!  I was even moreso
impressed with the situation that arose when one of our ops wanted to
make the contact with one youngster that was getting clobbered in QRM.
Our op simply said "stations please stand by, im trying to make the
contact with the poor little girl who's getting clobbered in the
pileup"...  The frequency went dead with the exception of our op and the
YL.  We made the contact....  This impressed me, and, after I get some
sleep, I will probably STILL be impressed with this.  

Granted, EEE only had a measly 113000 points and 700 contacts...  We are
happy.

Work dupes, leave them in the log!!!  With the advanced log checking in
existance today, there is really no need for anything else.  No logging
software I know of claims points for dupes anyway.

    This last Phone November SS I worked many place s on 80M. Actually it
was so packed on the 80M band south of 3.850 that it was had to find a home.
One place I stumbled across was 3.793. When I started calling CQ there was
the band police. "DX Window". This station though was not identifing so I
just ignored the crazy man. Though I went onto the web and found that this
small  piece of space from 3.790-3.800 is a DX window. though I myself would
never hear dx there in that small space and being on 20M I could not believe
that that is the only place dx shold be. In my search for the Truth to this
matter. I look at my Operator manual and yes I see this so called "Dx
Winodw" but then I peer up at the top of the page to read on about
The"Considerate operator's Frequency Guide". These few paragraphs go on to
say, "Nothing in the rules recognizes net's groups, or any individuals's
special priviledge to any specific frequency." "No frequect will be assigned
for exclusive use of any station." and finally, "Check to make certain the
frequency is not in use."
    So, I look on to the next page the US Amatuer Bands Bandchat where I see
US Extra hams are allowed phone from 3.750 to 4.000. This covers this small
space. So in conclusion I asked if it was in use  and there was no reply. So
called CQ. I was using it and there was no DX there before me. So, Just
because that maybe it is the "DX Window" we shold all know frst to be there
has the frequency untill it is relenquished.

Folks

I think that this has a great example of self-policing by the Amateur
community. This new technology makes it difficult to stay below the
collective radar! Just Search "Sable Is." on the browser and there were the
two expeditions side by side! The parties were contacted, the illegal
operation has been averted and this Huge Embarrassement has been saved from
being a Huge DXAC, CQWW and Licensing Disaster. I want to thank all the
others that took part in e-mailing and otherwise alerting the boys on Sable
to their dangerous situation.

Self-policing can work!

Indeed ... and the proliferation of multis was where a lot of the new folks 
were apparently.  It was great to work folks with 01 and 02 checks, too.

Let me diverge to an entirely different subject.  I am not a phone 
contester, but get on in SSB SS to make points for my club.  This year, I 
had disposed of my Rigblaster, and had no effective way of coupling 
hum-free audio from my sound card to my 2-radio box, so I was obliged to 
say everything myself.

After an hour or so, I would find myself totally running out of voice -- 
throat getting sore, hoarseness setting in, etc.

Other than recorded audio, are there any special techniques that phone 
contesters use to avoid vocal fatigue?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

IMHO SS is not broken,  The main difference has nothing to do with 10 meters, 
at least not in the east.  I made over 2100 qsos this past weekend and only 
15 of them were on 10 meters.

As I stated before, it has everything to do with the new operators we are 
getting.  As has been posted previously, the large majority of the checks in 
the SS CW were from the 80s and earlier.  In going over the checks I received 
in the SS SSB this weekend, that's not the case.  Lots of 00s, 02s and so 
forth.  If I get a chance to break them down, I will.  

Nevertheless, I still subscribe to the idea, that since the FCC no longer 
requires a high code speed to get on the HF bands, CW is dying...and so are 
the DOMESTIC CW contests.  I am not knocking CW, but the handwriting is on 
the wall.  We can put our heads in the sand and pretend we don't see it, but 
it's there.

SS is not broken.  The manner in which the FCC grants licenses has diminished 
the pool of good CW ops for the SS CW.  It has not affected the SS SSB.

I ran into this in a NAQP a few years back.  (I suppose some list readers
remember the incident...)  I'm surprised Sean was only assaulted by one
operator - there were a whole lot more back whenever that was...

Was playing around on 15m late Sunday morning when I found a hole on 21349.8
& called a few CQs.  When someone started telling me I was out of the band. 
Disappeared promptly when reminded he was on 15, not 20<grin>.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] SS..Is it broken?
Message-ID: <3d.27c447c1.2b0a687f@aol.com>

I have done some number crunching with the log from SS SSB.  I made 2102 QSOs 
and decided to do a sample of 330 QSOs to determine the checks.  I took the 
contacts from 1-110, 1000-1009, and 1900-2009.  The breakdown follows:

1930's   2
1940's   5
1950's   52
1960's   62
1970's   91
1980's   37(hmmm)
1990's   65
2000's   16

To normalize the 2000's, consider it as 30% of a decade.  Normalize it to 53.

These figures differ quite a bit from what was posted on this reflector 
regarding the checks from the CW contest.  It seems there IS an influx of new 
blood in SS SSB.  SS SSB is alive and well.

On Saturday, 16 Nov 2002, while most of you were erecting antennas and
getting ready for The Contest, 5B4ADA/C4A antennas have been dismantled are
ready for yet another move.
I will be moving to Italy (is it a rare country, by the way?) to assume a
new post in UN Logistics Base in Brindisi in a couple of weeks.

I'm taking with me a lot of "radio stuff" and fond memories of the time
spent on the sunny island of Cyprus between January 1991 - October 2002.

Thank you again for the points in many, many contests and every Topband QSO.

73, CU soon

Well, the data speaks for itself on CW.  There is nothing wrong with doing
this - but hopefully you will be able to encourage them to go work other
people - which will do more to convert them than just one QSO.

I realize on SSB this happens a lot more.  I will post some unique data
from the top SSB stations to see what it looks like.

Let's let the data speak.

You won't find "DX Window" defined in the FCC rules.  It's called a "Gentlemen's
Agreement" which in most of our minds has the same force and effect as Part 97.

Myself, I think it is pro-DX, much like the DX window on 160.  Maybe some 
of the KP@/KP3 crowd could comment if they ever got as far down as 80 in 
this contest -- were you shooed out of the DX window?

Some people suggest speaking softly.  Ohters suggest certain kinds of

a recording of one of my previous Q's when I was getting the exchange from my
current contact(s).  His signal was pretty puny so it wasn't much of a problem.
I ignored it completely and he soon tired of this cute little trick.  Anyone

Message-ID: <3DCF011E@imail.net1plus.com>

I would give it a vote for "Pro DX" and not for the "Anti Contest". I chase DX 
and contest but do stay out of the 75M (3.790-3.800) during contests and out 
of the 160M DX window (1.830-1.835) unless calling DX. This is a courtsey to 
the other operators throughout the world who are not partaking in contests 
such as the domestic US/VE SS contests. It is easy to forget that 1KW on 75 to 
a dipole or an inverted vee is much more effective as a transmitter than as a 
reciever when looking for a clear run spot. (Thus the "alligator" effect .. 
Big mouth no ears). Although the band may seem dead to a station with minimal 
recieve antennas it is not dead for the stations who do chase DX on 75 meters 
with effective recieve antennas. In my personal  experience the DXers do not 
mind vacating either the 75 or the 160 DX window for the major worldwide 
contests (CQWW and ARRL DX). Charley W1TE

I didn't run into that, but I did run into the clown on 28325. This guy
started off out of nowhere really foul mouthed. I guess he took a disliking
to my voice keyer. Without insulting anyone, he did have quite a regional
accent and my beam was pointed at 85 degrees from LA. He kept telling me the
contest "just wasn't going to happen" on his frequency, even though I had
been running there for 30 minutes. My recording of it would be hilarious, if
it wasn't so sad. I worked a few guys through him just to show him I could.
20/20 hindsight, I should have faked a real good run of QSOs and pretended
he was piss weak, but that didn't occur to me until later. I'm proud to say
the only thing I said to him was "Do you have a call sign?" and "We'll have
to get Riley after you." Of course, then he started being foul mouthed about
Riley.

Yes, I have heard it both in contests and in DX pileups.

On Sunday afternoon I heard someone doing that on a contester who was
trying to run stations.  He was so much louder than the interferer,
though, that it wasn't much of a problem.  These guys just can't do much
to a big-time contest station's signal.

Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20021118152953.037f34e0@netmail.home.com>

All,

I have a little pistol station running 100W (proximity to neighbors 
prohibits me from turning the amp on during contests) into a KT34-A and a 
vertical for 40m/80m .  I have had what I think is pretty good success in 
my SOLP efforts but when I look at the results on the 3830 reflector I 
clearly have a long way to go!  So what I was hoping to do is solicit some 
information from other Low power contesters who score big 
points.  Obviously antennas are important so I am interested in what kind 
of antennas the top stations have, but I am also interested in strategy... 
when to run(if possible) vs. S&P, when do you change bands, when do you 
point the beam at Europe, when do you hunt mults.

It would be great to receive electronic logs from some big point stations 
and I can then use Excel to glean a lot of the strategy information out of 
them.  If I am off base to suggest this then I apologize, I realize they 
represent "secrets of the trade", but because of that they would be a great 
source of information to a newbie like myself who wants to improve his 
skills,  and I figured it was worth a shot!  :)

Thanks for the bandwidth.

I agree.

Take a look at the last couple of years, with the unlimited club compitition 
between NCCC, PVRC & SMC. Those three clubs (and others!) are really getting 
folks on the air for SS. This is really, IMO, a great thing for the hobby!

14.284, Saturday evening, some clown did a recording of me calling CQ. It he

I have been in further contact with Lali, the CY0MM group leader. He says
that "I talked to a couple of guys about Sable. They tried to push this CB
thing, however I never agreed to anything at all."

It is entirely possible that all this could be a pipe dream on the part of
the SD bunch. I for one am not going to take this any further at this time.
Maybe Policing worked and maybe it wasn't necessary except to get rid of
that web site and the implications it raised.

Nice trick. I had an experience with a couple of folks on 3.851. After
calling CQ for 15 minutes or so I got the typical "hey you are
QRMing...blah...didn't your FCC test have a question about intentional
interference...blah..." I worked folks under him pretty well, but it was
of course annoying. Anyway it struck me that he was no longer using
3.853 where he told me he was being interfered with and his buddies
probably came down to listen to him harass me. He was VERY long winded
so I just popped up there for five minutes before he figured it out!
Then I just popped back to 3.851. He left me alone for the next half an
hour at which time I was ready to leave anyway.

I really enjoy reading the comments section on the 3830 score reporter. I
read every comment, regardless of the entry category. After slaving away
over hot radios for an entire weekend, reading the comments only takes a
few minutes and really helps to savor the experience. I'm somewhat
disappointed that a lot of scores, even big ones, are submitted without
comments, probably because the submitter is tired after the contest, and
just wants to dump the score in and get it over with. I would suggest
that it is better to wait a day or two before submitting the score, with
comments, for the enjoyment of all.

I have to confess using the same assistance in EU HF Champs this summer:)
Had not many stations coming back to my CQs when I moved to 80m but somebody
started to play back my recorded voice keyer audio to me. He was reasonably
strong with clear audio and it felt kind of awkward to call CQ with two
signals on the same frequency so I moved down to work a few guys on S&P. I
returned after 2 minutes to find out that there was a DL station calling me
who had just come back to my friend's CQ and the guy himself had obviously
got bored and left.

So I worked the DL and continued with a nice run:)

There's an interesting juxtaposition of threads on the reflector right now:

1.  Hams should be self-policing, re: Sable Island

2.  Contesters take offense when told to QSY out of agreed-upon DX windows

So does that mean that hams should be self-policing only when it's convenient?

The 80m DX window is a gentleman's agreement.  There is no way to enforce 
it except self-policing.  I agree that it's a good thing to keep clear 
during domestic contests.

This weekend, on 80, 2 guys were on either side of me playing dueling 
carriers.
I'd been CQing for about 2 minutes without a call. I said, "I was about to 
leave the frequency, but now I'm staying." They left.
Several times while CQn (not this weekend though) I've had someone keying up 
right on top of me. No matter how loud they are I ask the next guy I work if 
he can hear it.
I then tell him, I can kinda of hear something, but it's not very loud here. 
The idiots leave EVERY TIME.
In NAQP SSB some lid was playing We Are The Champions on my run freq.
When he let up I said - Thanks pal, I love Queen. He left.

If they don't think that they're getting under your skin they'll go find 
something else to do, or someone else to bother.

I'd like to second Dave's comments.  Living in an area with almost no
contesters (Northern Ontario, where QST and CQ are not available at
newstands), reading the comments & stories posted with score summaries on
3830 is pretty much how I learned to contest.  Band changes, openings, run
vs. s&p, SO2R, all of it.  I can honestly say that if it hadn't been for the
many outstanding write-ups posted by K5ZD and others, I'd still be lost
regarding contests, and probably would have lost interest long ago.

Sincere thanks to Randy, and all like him, who share not only their scores
on 3830, but their experiences as well.

I think that it's a little presumptuous to call "DX windows"
gentleman's agreements.  They are special interest
arrangements that have been invented without universal
concurrence.

I'm wary of seeming inconsistent, since I adamantly oppose contest-free 
zones on the other bands, but it seems to me that a few kHz on 80 during 
phone SS is an acceptable compromise, particularly given that SS is a 
domestic contest and domestic signals are ALL so darned loud on 80.

I think we have all had experiences like this thread has related...but Sunday
evening I went to 75m for a while, and per chance came on a dead frequency, I
asked if the frequency was in use and a fellow replied that he had been using
it, but was going to eat supper and that I could go ahead....Wow...and it was
a nice clear frequency!  So I called CQ and worked a bunch of guys for 40
minutes maybe when after a QRZ a voice came on and said "Boy was supper good!"
 I asked if he wanted his freq back, and he said no, go ahead, that he would
S&P a bit.

A good experience...never got the fellows call, but Thanks!

You gotta get on all of the bands - especially in the ARRL DX
contests where it is easier for LP stations to work DX.  Note
that I said it was easier to work DX in the ARRL, not that
it was easier to place well!  The competition seems to be
even stronger in the ARRL DX than in CQ DX for LP stations.
You have to get the multipliers to go with the contacts, and
80 and 160 are important for multipliers.  With your "East
Coast" location, you should be able to work some Europeans on
160 to go with the easier Carribean mults.

Most importantly, compete against yourself.  I REALLY, REALLY
want to win the USA in a DX contest, but it's hard to do
from the fringes of the Black Hole.  However, I "made my
own category" by going for the mythical USA All Around LP
DX champion, combining SSB & CW scores for the CQ WW, 
ARRL DX, and CQ WPX contests.  This past contest season (2001-
2002) I "WON" this category and am now "DEFENDING" my
"CHAMPIONSHIP."  

Best of luck.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Help for a little pistol station


All,

I have a little pistol station running 100W (proximity to neighbors 
prohibits me from turning the amp on during contests) into a KT34-A and a 
vertical for 40m/80m .  I have had what I think is pretty good success in 
my SOLP efforts but when I look at the results on the 3830 reflector I 
clearly have a long way to go!  So what I was hoping to do is solicit some 
information from other Low power contesters who score big 
points.  Obviously antennas are important so I am interested in what kind 
of antennas the top stations have, but I am also interested in strategy... 
when to run(if possible) vs. S&P, when do you change bands, when do you 
point the beam at Europe, when do you hunt mults.

It would be great to receive electronic logs from some big point stations 
and I can then use Excel to glean a lot of the strategy information out of 
them.  If I am off base to suggest this then I apologize, I realize they 
represent "secrets of the trade", but because of that they would be a great 
source of information to a newbie like myself who wants to improve his 
skills,  and I figured it was worth a shot!  :)

Thanks for the bandwidth.

While conditions on 10 were fairly good in the Midwest this weekend, K3ZO's
comments have me thinking (dangerous, I know....)

Just how many Novices and Tech Pluses are there left on 10 SSB?  The N/T
factor was a big one on 10 in the early 90's in SS and other contests.  I'm
wondering now, though, if the bulk of those who were interested enough to
still be around, and contesting, have upgraded and are no longer confined to
28.300-28.500 for SSB privileges?

Any comments? 73, Jim N9JF

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Harrassment & Favorite Beverage de VY1JA
Message-ID: <000901c28fe3$d4085820$14096cd8@jallen>

Perhaps two threads join on this matter.

First, I think that Ken, K6LA stumbled into the same pit that I had.

In one of my very early years of SS contesting, I started early on 28.325
and was QRMed by a GROUP of guys claiming that 28.325 was their frequency,
and that no contest was going to stop them from using it, so I would have to
QSY so that they could start up.  I am  usually fast to move on in cases
where people ask in a civilized manner, but their first attempt at asking
was with a club.

I told them that I had been on the frequency for several hours and that they
should by rights move a little up or down from there and find a clear
frequency if they could.  I discussed it with them for several minutes, and
decided not to fight the increasing rudeness which followed, as logic and
adherence to the FCC rules did not seem to apply to them.

After they forced "their frequency" from me, I listened see if they could
establish a chat group there.  It was a very interesting to listen to.

The group has within it several people that were acting as passband police.
As they attempted to establish themselves in the middle of SS, the "cops"
continued by harassing others in the area with cat calls, with carriers, and
obscene language, which makes me think that perhaps they had tried a little
too much of their "favorite beverage" from another current CQ-Contest
thread.

Since that time, I have heard them or others like them, even though I
started up a little higher, on 28.337.  They have never used their calls nor
started by asking politely.  If I notice QRM below me, I will ask the
persons generating it to give me a little more room, using my call, and if
it does not work, I slide up.  This year, if I can assume that it was part
of the same group, I was QRMed deliberately with every tool imaginable for
about two straight hours, and moving up or down in the high level of
activity on 10 was not an option.

Thanks to the many fine operators that endured the interference, totally
ignoring the nuisances as we worked together to get the QSOs through, it was
a record year for me.  This was largely due to QRM busting skills of those
that worked me in that spot 12 above "their frequency".

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Remote Internet Access - 72 mile path
Message-ID: <FJECJCDPGLAELGCJIMMNGEHDIHAA.barry@mxg.com>

If your contest station is out in the sticks with no
phone line, you may be interested in using WireLess LAN.

Article in ComputerWorld about San Diego County HPWREN
network for seismic data collection describes a connection
with 1 watt 2.4GHZ 802.11b WLAN and 2 foot parabolic antennas
to connect San Clemente Island across a 72 mile path.
 
The 11 Mbit/sec rate of 802.11b was cut to 1 Mbit/sec
by the extreme path length.

A couple of months ago I bot an ACOM A-1000 6M thru 160m ampl.

The amp arrIvied slightly damaged tnx to ruff handling by UPS!    Damage was 
cosmetic and the ampl wked fine.  I filed the required damaged reports with UPS.
Eventually they made it to Will's desk at acom.

I figured at best I wud get some new sheet metal from ACOM but was amazed to 
hear that Will was going to send me a whole new  ampl!!   Not only did ACOM 
send a new ampl they did it b4 getting the damaged one back!

They also paid for the rtn freight charges on the damaged unit.    I say they 
went above and beyond wat most suppliers would do in today's  world.

3 cheers for the boys at ACOM  de Bob, W7GG

I'm comfortable with the DX Window, and do not wish to see it
weakened.

I'm uncomfortable when I see customs and habits defended in an
indefensible manner.  My concern is that encouraging DXers to
believe that they have a "window" reserved for themselves by
gentleman's agreement will lead to strife, i.e., belief that anyone
who may happen to transmit in the DX window must be violating
the gentleman's agreement, therefore he must not deserve treatment
befitting a gentleman.

We're seeing examples of this strife in the opinions expressed on
the reflector in this thread.  Part of the reason is that the custom
of
leaving the low end of 75 to DXers makes less sense during
contests that generate a great deal of band congestion.  Frankly, I
believe that a small number of "contests" override all customary
and habitual bandplans by the very weight of their levels of
participation.  To declare that the DX window should be thought
of as inviolate during these contests actually weakens the concept
of a DX window by associating it with indefensible levels of greed.

It's a little like hearing that the Texas Cattleman's Association has
a gentleman's agreement in effect that Texas shall be a sheep free
zone.  Now, I'm in favor of cattle.  I find sheep displeasing as food.
A personal preference.  But, I'm going to be very careful about how
I encourage the cattlemen to defend Texas against sheep.

that works the other way also.  in a recent contest i was on 40m ssb cqing
and was just about to leave for another band when someone came on and
asked if he could call his net buddies and move them to another frequency
since i was on their normal one... nice enough to ask at least, so i told
him that he could have the frequency if his buddies gave me some
contacts... they did, and i left them happy to have their frequency nice
and clear.  hopefully i won't lose them all as uniques!

Although rare on CW, I've even had it happen there.

At 9M6AAC in the 1999 CQWW CW,  I'd been running on 40 meters when the call 
9M6AAC was dumped on my frequency.  Figuring it was someone unsure of our 
call, I said "go ahead" in whatever form.  The caller kept coming back with 
"9M6AAC", at which point I figured it was someone screwing around, and so I 
just kept working the other callers as best I could.  Then the joker started 
calling CQ de 9M6AAC.  I sat back and heard a few guys answering him as well, 
though he did not pass out any exchanges. (I guess I just could have logged 
them if he did??)  

I tried again CQing myself, and he started CQing too.  By now he had 
obviously set up his computer/memory keyer with an autorepeat CQ about every 
20 seconds, but screwed it up to using the call 9M6AC.  By then I gave up, 
and went to some other far away frequency or another band.  But I think I 
checked back at least once and heard the auto-CQ still going on.


My favorite harrassment story is still from a DX contest a year or so ago at 
K8AZ.  I was running on the high end of 20 SSB when some guy comes on with 25 
wpm CW sending "F*** You" .  I ignored it the first few times, but finally I 
came back and said "The station calling on CW, I'm sorry OM, but I just 
upgraded from Technician and can't copy what you're sending.  QRZ from K8AZ".

I never heard him again, though a few minutes later some bozos fired up on 
SSB for their net or regular schedule, rendering the frequency unusable.

It is not the same but we were using a wireless lan in last CQWW (multi/multi)

Generally, If I have been sitting there just monitoring a clear frequency

This frequently surprises the inquirer!

>From the DX side of things.. the issue is equally grey.  I will pop up in
the window for 'bursts' of 30 minutes or so.. and then try and work split
3699/3805 or something like that - very very hard going though, as most NA
hams would never listen down at 3699 for a SSB signal.

Generally using a VK8 callsign in the window keeps the soothsayers quiet,
but I know if I was in Sydney and used VK2 I would probably get a quick
push-on.  Martin VK5GN will reply to calls but won't monoploise our
3794~3800 window, and I guess its a tough call.

The GOOD NEWS news is that all VK hams will get access to 3776~3800kHz from
January 1, 2004. So we should see some decent 80m scores out of VK after
that date !!!

All I can say is...you don't know the half of it, my friend.  I bought the
2000A amp, S/N 100, and the support they have given me has been just
unbelievable.  I have had tropical bugs crawling through it causing
shorts...left it out in the rain to get waterlogged...exposed it to salt
spray...and abused it as should never be allowed.  Yet Acom has bailed me
out every time, unflinchingly.  Three years later, despite the abuse, it's
still chugging along like a champ.    Yes, those guys do a super job of
supporting even us dummies.

Message-ID: <12b.1b6926f6.2b0c5299@aol.com>

A quick word about loops and yagis...

I have messed around with quad loops and yagis since the 70s.  Both are 
excellent performers and from my experience, I don't think there is a whole 
lot of difference in them on the radiated signal.  However, I have found 
quads are more broadbanded and hear a lot better.  As far as the mechanics 
go, I'll take a Yagi any day.

With this being said though, I am currently using loop arrays on 75 meters.  
They are flat topped delta loops with the tops being around 160-170 feet 
high.  I have a 4 el facing Europe and 2 el facing JA and a 2 el facing 
VK/ZL.  The systems are suspended by a rope system from my towers.  They are 
killer antennas.  I believe  LPL uses a similar system and I know KC1XX has 
the stacked quads.

Mechanically, my loops antennas are superior to a 75 meter Yagi  and have 
been up for four years with no problems.  Probably the equivalent Yagis at 
the same height would work about as well, but on 75 would they stay up as 
long and would they be as easy to maintain?...nope.  Sometimes quads are the 
answer, sometimes yagis.  Nothing is black and white...always gray.  It 
depends on the band.

Howdy all,

After working my first SS this past weekend, I'm looking for some advice on
filters. I run a Icom IC-746. It currently has no filters in it other then
what comes with the radio. I notice that Icom sells a couple of different
SSB filters for this radio. One is a 1.9 KHz filter for the 9 MHz IF, and
the other is a 1.8 KHz filter for the 455 KHz IF (I think I have those
right). My questions then are:

1. Do I get both filters?

2. If not both, which single one is best?

3. Is there a third party filter that I should consider (I really don't want
to have to solder anything in place if possible).

Thanks all,

Kelley -- W?RK

Yes, get both if you can.

> 2. If not both, which single one is best?

If you only get one, get the one for the 9MHz IF.  You want the filtering to
occur as early as possible in the IF/AGC chain.

I don't know if anyone else makes ICOM compatible filters.

I have been using LogPlus as my logging program for years. The author is

looking for a Windows compatible logging program that will support my
SO2R setup.  I use NA for all my contesting with SO2R.

Are there any? I also chase 5BDXCC, 5BWAZ, IOTA and hope there is a
program that will does it all: award management, searches, etc., and
radio/rotator control, SO2R, RF PacketCluster connects, DXTelnet.

I'm sure this has been brought up before, so I ask too, is there a Web
site that may have the analysis of the major logging programs?

I think there is an element of anti-contest in this situation too.  However,
the absurdity of it hit home for me several years back when I was doing a
75m single band effort in the WPX SSB.  I was calling CQ on 3795, and I was
told to move.  I asked why and was told because it was the DX window.  I
replied, thanks - that's exactly why I'm here - to work DX!  This was not
accepted as a logical course of events and was followed with all sorts of
noises, jamming etc.

I do think that calling CQ SS in this area should be avoided, but there has
to be tolerance of using the window area for DX contests.

Actually, I'd like to see the band segments put back the way they were so
that the advanced band started at 3800, which really was cool as many DX
stations would call CQ in the window, and listen above 3800 for callers.
Those were days.

Using radio (144/432MHz, etc) to bridge a CT or similar network is easy and
very effective. I think we have some info at www.gm7v.com

It is not the same but we were using a wireless lan in last CQWW
(multi/multi) 
and it was the best improvement... as we fotgot all the RFI on the PCs :-)

No wires, no RFI ;-)

Message-ID: <20021120091102.53690.qmail@web40612.mail.yahoo.com>

TA2BK is on the air & CQ WW SSB 2002 

It's always a fun operating the CQ-WW Tests, but it's extraordinary doing it 
from my alternative qth here in Bozcaada, IOTA AS-099, in the near vicinity of 
the ancient site of Troy. It seems that being near Troy gives some additional 
dB, hi hi  (see the claimed scores of the Macedonian Team which were guests in 
this qth during the WPX-CW Contest )! 

Of course you have to be very accurate in terms of the ferry-schedule. Murphy 
had its first appearence on the 400 km trip from Istanbul towards Bozcaada, 
therefore we missed the last ferry at Friday. Next one meant next day 0700 Z. 
Well, no other way! Murphy the second: Keys of the house were forgotten in 
Istanbul, therefore we had search for the person on the island who had the 
spare ones. We were quite lucky as he was "not in the fields" and could be 
found in about one hour.

I was accompanied by Selim,TA2DS who would never and by no means miss such an 
activity, even as a spectator but mostly as the "technical chief"... Well, the 
recently acquired TS-850 had to get a connection cable to the amp etc etc. " 
Jefe" Selim would never let somebody else doing such things, as nobody than him 
would get those things "perfectly perpendicular".

Finally, with almost a delay of  11 hours TA1E/0 was on the air ! Of course or 
as usual no desktop mike and no voice synthetizer, which meant also a good deal 
of test for the throat, hi ! Meanwhile Selim was busy in taking care of other 
items. One of his top items on the agenda was cooking. I would like to propose 
an award of  "The Best Cooking Ham" to the CQ-Magazine. I'm quite confident 
that Selim will be a winner in series,even in the "mixed" category competing 
with YL's and XYL's... I am ready to make this qth available for this "special 
contest" with a good deal of any sort of herbs and other useful ingredients 
readily available in the garden...

Antenna was moderate (3 El-Tribander, 11 m off the ground), the amp lazy, 
pushing out only 300 W (spare tubes were forgotten in Istanbul as well-Murphy 
the third) but conditions  were superb. Therefore qso-rates were impressive, 
peaking to 150 or sometimes more qso's per hour. A very contributing factor of 
course was the "Special Contest Menu" of  Jefe Selim, hi !

Well, with some "tactical techniques" I was able also to work some nice 
multiplicators. I observed that quite a lot of  stations in the Caribbean 
especially had some sort of "fixed" antennas to USA, absolutely neglecting our 
part of the World, including Europe. One of these "Mighty Guys" from was very 
loud, even beaming towards USA, but his problem seemed to be ignoring any call 
besides USA or any signal below S9 +++ and continously activating his "parrot". 
He missed at least one multi, unfortunately I missed one as well. The other 
observation was the absence of quite some European countries such as T7, T9, Z3 
and ZA. Hopefully next year there will be some more activity there... Thanks to 
the DL and SP Stations for the nice points.

I ended up with .... qso's, ... DXCC-Entities and .. Zones. I wish I had 
contributed more to my team "TA2BK is on the air". Thanks to a bright idea of 
Berkin, TA3J we decided to commemorate our Founding Member and great person 
Bahri by participating to the contest this way. See you next year, hopefully 
with less Murphies and better antennas. 73! Aziz SASA, TA1E/0

Howdy all,

After working my first SS this past weekend, I'm looking for some advice on
filters. I run a Icom IC-746. It currently has no filters in it other then
what comes with the radio. I notice that Icom sells a couple of different
SSB filters for this radio. One is a 1.9 KHz filter for the 9 MHz IF, and
the other is a 1.8 KHz filter for the 455 KHz IF (I think I have those
right). My questions then are:

1. Do I get both filters?

2. If not both, which single one is best?

3. Is there a third party filter that I should consider (I really don't want
to have to solder anything in place if possible).

Thanks all,

Kelley -- W?RK

Q:1.1.  What is an FAQ?
Q:1.2.  Where can I get a copy?

        FAQ stands for "Frequently Asked Questions".  It tries
        to cover common questions/problems/issues associated
        with Icom's IC-746 HF/VHF amateur radio transceiver.

        The master copy is kept at:

                http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IC746/files/IC746-faq.txt

        Mirrored copies (after a short delay) appear at:

                http://www.qsl.net/kb9sss/IC-746/IC746-faq.txt
                http://www.skysdaughter.com/icom746-faq

        You do not need a Yahoo email account to access the
        master copy, however, you will need a logon account.
        Yes, that is a subtle but hopefully minor distinction.
        Not everyone is willing to have a login account at Yahoo
        (even if it is free), which is one of several reasons
        for maintaining the mirror sites.

        We also make sporadic postings of the FAQ to:

                news:rec.radio.amateur.equipment

        usually in the first half of a month.

Then there is reality tragedy. Fox is also developing, "Exhausted," a 
game-show version of Depression-era dance marathons, as depicted in "They 
Shoot Horses, Don't They?" Contestants will be kept sleepless for 24 hours, 
then made to compete in a variety of games and contests for another 24. When 
only two finalists are left standing, they are seated in cozy armchairs. The 
first to fall asleep loses.

Contesting (or contesters) may be better suited for television than we ever 
suspected. Maybe the Fox folks could just visit a few single op contesters 
this weekend? Any volunteers?

    Don't know about the ease of installation (non-soldering) but the filters 
from George, W2VJN, are the ones to get. Their skirts are steeper and they'll 
run circles around the filters from the manufacturers. George's company is

I've got to chime in my approval for cross-frequency operation on 75 SSB
during
contests.  I honestly believe that more contacts can be made in this
fashion.

When I was operating DX contests at W6HX in the 70's I had a number of
contests in
which I had contact totals in the range of 400 on 75M.  These were primarily
the JA's
that I could work cross-frequency, with them transmitting below 3600.  As
soon as the
JA's got a window around 3790, and could work on-frequency with US stations,
contact
totals for all West Coast stations on 75M were cut in half, and 40M contact
totals were
reduced by 100 or so.  Japanese stations simply refused to work
cross-frequency on
75 after that.  The JA 75M DX window was remarkably narrow, and the best
periods
of the potential JA runs are typically prevented because large pile-ups of
US stations
calling SA and Caribbean stations block most trans-Pacific activity.  These
kinds of
problems must be limiting factors for all but the most dominant East Coast
stations
working Europe as well, but perhaps not quite as severe.

Most likely there was an effect on contact numbers to Japan on the other
bands too,
with remarkably fewer casual contesters from Japan taking part in the
contests from
one year to the next (this is harder to quantify due to the effect of
sunspot variations.
It was a tragedy to California stations, as there has never since been a
major DX
contest in which a US victory came from 6-land.  Increasing numbers of
European
hams provided part of the reason for this, but I believe that it had tragic
spin-off
consequences for CW contests as well, as there was a general drop in DX
contest
activity in Japan out of proportion with the number of licensed hams in
Japan.

Well, it's too late to get that back.  Let's face it, without
cross-frequency contacts the
40/75/160M phone bands are severely limited for DX due to local interference
levels.

Here's a start at it:

It is based on:

Trouble is, I can't vouch of the accuracy of the

I think that 10m is less of an issue - I too get the feeling 
that almost everyone who is intrested in the HF bands has 
taken the written test and upgraded to use of all the bands.

So now we can work them on all the band - not just 10m.

Ray...

FWIW, I have been trying out different logging programs for years and 
have yet to find one that covers everything I want for contesting AND 
general logging, all in one package...

My absolute favourite (by far)  for contesting is N1MM Logger, a real 
Windows program (no DOS Windows, Boot disks, TSR's and stuff) with all 
the features needed...Programmable macros for CW, SSB wav files, RTTY 
and PSK31...Connects to Telnet/Packet for spotting...The best looking 
bandmaps I have seen..."Enter Sends Message" mode is one of my favourite 
features (eliminates using "F" keys for each message, the ENTER key 
takes you through the whole QSO, from CQ to TU)...Two radio 
support...Excellent technical support and it's FREE (Not Shareware with 
a free trial version, it's free for the latest fully functional 
version)....Cabrillo, ADIF etc etc export...The list goes on and on...A 
real professionally done, fully featured piece of Windows software...Try 
it...

WriteLog is also an excellent Windows contesting program...Can't vouch 
for it's general logging capabilities, but it is a good contesting 
program...Between Writelog and N1MM, I get just about all the contests 
supported that I work...

For general logging I have chosen Win-EQF...Great award tracking, 
searching, radio support and a fairly good contesting module...It's 
designed more-so for general logging vs contesting

A search will give you dozens of other ones...Some good, some not so 
good and many I haven't tried...10 people will give you 10 different 
opinions...Try a bunch of them, there are lots and one may just fit what 
your looking for...

Have not heard of a website that rates the major ones, although someone 
else likely has found one...

Kelley,
I had the exact question a couple of years ago with my then new IC746.  I 
was planning on using the 746 on 6m and 2m for vhf weak signal work, 
contesting and as a back-up to my IC765 for HF contesting (which already 
had narrow SSB filters in both IF's that worked very well) and I wanted to 
narrow the IF to better reject adjacent frequency interference.  Like you, 
I didn't want the wire-in filter mod so I compromised by purchasing the 
1.9KHz Icom narrrow SSB filter for the 9MHz IF and the 1.8Khz narrow SSB 
filter for the 455KHz IF from INRAD.  This combo sharpens up the IF 
considerably (it almost makes rag chewing uncomfortable because of the loss 
of the wider fidelity but that is easily fixed with a push of the FILTER 
button to toggle back into the stock 2.4KHz Icom filters) and makes 
contesting and dx'g on a crowded band much more bearable.  I have found the 
IC746 with filters to be a very respectable radio.  Probably a better way 
to go is to purchase the wire-in filter from INRAD for the 9MHz IF as well 
as the INRAD drop in filter for the 455KHz IF but my compromise worked out 
very well without any internal changes to the IC746.
INRAD's webpage is at:  http://www.qth.com/inrad/

Ray,
        I have found the following to be the simplest solution to all
my ham radio needs and especially for those of us who used LogPlus.
I do everything using 3 programs but it's simple. 
        The first thing you want to do is install a program called BV.
I use BV6 http://www.qsl.net/df3cb/bv.html for all my qsl'ing needs
and I print directly to my cards. No more messing around with labels.
You can print to labels if you prefer. BV7 is available but BV6 works
great for me and I don't believe in fixing what isn't broken. I think
the GREATEST feature of BV is the file conversion function. You can
convert your LogPlus files to an ADIF file, a BV file, etc. There are
many conversion options. EVERYONE should be using this program even if
only for this feature. You can even take a Sweepstakes log and tell
the program to remove the exchange from the log and replace the
exchange with 59/599! How slick is that?! This is what I do before I
import my Sweepstakes log into Logger or BV. There is also a mailing
list for the BV program ( bv6@yahoogroups.com) but there is not too
much activity on it. I guess people aren't having problems. Oh, the BV
program is free!
        I use Logger ( http://www.qsl.net/kc4elo/logger.htm ) for ALL
logging and award tracking. I love it and it's free. I'm not a rag
chewer. I chase dx and operate contests ( CW, RTTY, SSB). So for
chasing dx I use Logger. Before I operate a contest I create an .ADIF
file from Logger for all activity since the last contest ( you can
create and ADIF file by dates in Logger) and import it into BV6. When
operating a contest I use Writelog for the 3 modes. After the contest
I make WL create an ADIF file and I import it into Logger AND BV6. So
all logs go to Logger and all qsl activity is done from BV. It's
really slick!
        One more tip! Whenever  you have a screwed up contest file and
you want to make a correction to all or some of the qso's at the same
time ( i.e the wrong date) without typing a lot, use the Programmer's
File Editor. This has saved my ass on a few occassions. It's not
supported anymore but it works just great and can be downloaded at :
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/people/cpaap/pfe/ It's free also!

        Good luck & 73, 
                
                Jeff K1AM    k1am@arrl.net

Yes, but, 10M is a phenomena not just a wavelength. There is no 15-15 
International Club. 

There are those who are using monoband radios, whips and low power to 
successfully work the world. There is no other HF band with so many who can 
get such profound results with such a modest investment.

There is no other HF band with so much real estate. There are seldom other HF 
bands where E and F skip happen at the same time. There are no other HF bands 
where you can work tropo scatter when the band is closed.

Go ahead and QSY. I'll be on 10 creating activity when everyone else is 
listening to see if the band is open.

I love ten meters too...it's a great band.  I wouldn't miss the 10 meter 
contest for anything.

However, you guys out west love ten a little more than we do back east. 
Sweepstakes is a matter of working the large areas of population.  For you 
guys it means getting on ten to work the midwest and the northeast.  When the 
band is open east west like that it is harder for us to get a really good 
opening to those areas here in the southeast.  Fifteen provided that opening 
for us this year at the beginning of the contest and twenty is THE place to 
be if you are in the southeast.  Why screw with ten and be connon-fodder for 
the W6 and W7 stations?..:-)  I made 15 QSOs on 10 this year and had my best 
relative finish ever in SS.  For SS in the southeast, there's no meters like 
20 meters.

There was an attempt to start a 12-12 club when that
band was first open to ham use.  I know, I was 12-12
#84.  I think that the novelty of 10 meters will die
down some when the new generals and extras experience
their first sunspot minimum.  Yes the band will have
occassional TE, and Eskip, but those things are hard
to predict.  Nowdays you can turn the radio on and
hear DX every day during the winter.  Many new
licensees who have not been thru a sunspot minimum
don't know what to expect yet.  

Also, we should be indebted to the freebander market
for creating the need for all of those 10 meter
monobander rigs.  Go look at www.copper.com.  For
every 10 meter monobander, there is a video called
"Tricks and tips" which lists modifications for that
rig.  Why do I think that the modification is not to
improve CW waveform?

Message-ID: <000501c290fb$f6a9a820$7501cecb@martinl>

Leigh makes a very good point. Since we got the VK "window at 3794 to 3800 I
find it hard to make anything like a good number of Q's on 80.

It is really not fair to tie up this window with endless CQ's. I tried to
get it made a contest free zone here in VK because I knew what would happen.
However, that was not successful. Although I am sure those that hand out
numbers there would, in the main, scream like stuck pigs if I were to really
set the CQ machine going there and monopolise it.

I do, now, reply there to others CQ's and that's how I get a few mults. It
is really not suitable as a contesting spot. Too much QRM from others
wanting to use it.

However, I used to be able to CQ on 3695+ - and get a pile up going further
up the band. No longer. Even many of the big multi stations require a nudge
on 40 to listen down for me when they say they still need a mult on 80.

A number of times in recent contests I have run the CQ machine on 3695
listening up while I s&p on 20/40 with the  other radio. So little return
that it is not worthwhile.

There are regular VK's in the DX window and the US stations get the mult and
then don't bother any longer. I can hear them Cqing away on 375/6/7/ and no
reply when they could be working at least a few of us on 3695.

It may improve when the sunspots means that Q's on 80 get more important in
the overall scheme of things.

Now if I could just get the Europeans to listen up on 40 around 2100z we
might get somewhere really interesting Hi Hi.

I've got to chime in my approval for cross-frequency operation on 75 SSB
during
contests.  I honestly believe that more contacts can be made in this
fashion.

When I was operating DX contests at W6HX in the 70's I had a number of
contests in
which I had contact totals in the range of 400 on 75M.  These were primarily
the JA's
that I could work cross-frequency, with them transmitting below 3600.  As
soon as the
JA's got a window around 3790, and could work on-frequency with US stations,
contact
totals for all West Coast stations on 75M were cut in half, and 40M contact
totals were
reduced by 100 or so.  Japanese stations simply refused to work
cross-frequency on
75 after that.  The JA 75M DX window was remarkably narrow, and the best
periods
of the potential JA runs are typically prevented because large pile-ups of
US stations
calling SA and Caribbean stations block most trans-Pacific activity.  These
kinds of
problems must be limiting factors for all but the most dominant East Coast
stations
working Europe as well, but perhaps not quite as severe.

Most likely there was an effect on contact numbers to Japan on the other
bands too,
with remarkably fewer casual contesters from Japan taking part in the
contests from
one year to the next (this is harder to quantify due to the effect of
sunspot variations.
It was a tragedy to California stations, as there has never since been a
major DX
contest in which a US victory came from 6-land.  Increasing numbers of
European
hams provided part of the reason for this, but I believe that it had tragic
spin-off
consequences for CW contests as well, as there was a general drop in DX
contest
activity in Japan out of proportion with the number of licensed hams in
Japan.

Well, it's too late to get that back.  Let's face it, without
cross-frequency contacts the
40/75/160M phone bands are severely limited for DX due to local interference
levels.

Leigh makes a very good point. Since we got the VK "window at 3794 to 3800 I
find it hard to make anything like a good number of Q's on 80.

It is really not fair to tie up this window with endless CQ's. I tried to
get it made a contest free zone here in VK because I knew what would happen.
However, that was not successful. Although I am sure those that hand out
numbers there would, in the main, scream like stuck pigs if I were to really
set the CQ machine going there and monopolise it.

------------------
Once again it appears that CW is the answer !  I can work VK6HD on 80  CW
almost any day in the season.

Ray,
I use also BV for QSL, Logger for General logging, awards tracking, all digi
modes, some PSK31 contests and Satellites. But for Contesting I use TRlog
for SSB and CW and WF1B for RTTY. The editor that I use is UltraEdit (great
thing!).

While I'm quite happy with TR for contesting, it's got its drawbacks for
general QSO logging.  I've never found a general QSO logging program I
really liked.  So finally, a few weeks ago, I did something I've long been
threatening to do.

Wrote my own.

Use "logger", it's free and very very good. Download it at

The new version (Logger 32) is due in a few months, maybe even a few

There is no CQWW Countries list.

The things that count as countries for CQWW include everything on the DXCC
Country list, plus those unique things on the WAE Country list like,
Shetlands, 4U1VIC , TA1, etc.

One source for the WAE list is: http://www.darc.de/referate/dx/fed.htm

I can remember working VP6BR on 3795 on CW a few years ago.  I thought it

The extra some  10 % higher in frequency may make a difference from the low

Thanks to everyone for all of the input on filters for my Icom 746.

The summary of all the emails, both to the list and private are as follows:

1. Get both filters. The PBT works better that way.

2. If I get one, get the 9 MHz filter.

3. Get InRad filters instead of Icom filters.

Thanks,

Kelley -- W?RK

I was a Novice who didn't know squat but my Elmer suddenly had need of a 15
meter beam for the family antenna farm, which previously had had none.  This
is how things were with my Dad, W1CW - a giving man who always put his
interests last and everyone else's first.

Dad was the guy who made the DXCC what it was - he checked and administered
the program for almost a quarter century in Newington, and he didn't cut any
corners - everyone was held to the same high standards - this is what made
holding DXCC meaningful.  That was during the "heyday" of DXCC, including
the evolution of the DXpedition.  Dad later went on to set up and run the
"new" ARRL outgoing QSL Bureau.

Finally, when he moved to Tampa after Hurricane Andrew we had an opportunity
to put together a big ham station - capable of being first through the
pileups and supporting multi-operator entries in contests.  For numerous
hours in the early planning stages we would talk on the telephone while both
sitting in front of computers running YO trying antenna designs for the new
15 meter beam for the station.  Dad's final design has been a killer into EU
ever since.

I was in heaven - we would work on the projects during the week while I was
at work and on the weekends and I would install that needed special mounting
plate or reinforcement - that would be Dad's project for the week.... and I
would come over on Saturdays and piece by piece the antenna farm grew.  W1YL
(Mom) didn't always approve of Dad's priorities but I always thought they
were in order.  Multi-ops were hosted and certificates and plaques started
showing up in the mailbox.  This was ham-heaven.

During late nights when he could not sleep W1CW loved 40 meter CW -
especially since his station now had something he had never had before - a
rotary yagi - at 135 feet!  Each year when I went to Dayton and saw friends
they would usually say the same thing "I heard your Dad on 40".  He was able
to enjoy the station, talking to his friends in the First Class CW
Operators' Club and at times marveling at radio - almost like a new ham
excited about his first "run" of JA stations - he would tell me "two nights
ago was really good - they just kept callin' and callin'"  Radio filled
almost all his life, ever since his step-dad W6APG introduced him to it.

After the end of each contest we would pow-wow over what could be improved
and would this  be one of the upcoming projects for the station.  Over the
years the station grew and outgrew itself - we had to put additional
operating positions out on the porch when we went multi-multi but through it
all we had a blast.  Florida Contest Group multi-operations in all the major
CW DX contests, being the hub for the W1AW/4 IARU, and a threepeat as first
place finisher in the CW SS were some of the highlights. Mom would keep us
ops all well fed - Dad would routinely walk around checking the meters [no
Red LED's on the Alphas!].  A respectable contest station was born and
raised by W1CW... be it the miles of burried ground system or the custom
turnings from his lathe it all came together into a fine machine for making
ham radio communications!

This morning my father passed away.  His health had been failing and we had
been graced with an "extra" year with my Dad after he survived triple
by-pass surgery.  I just had lunch with my Mom and my wife and my wife
looked at me as I gazed out into the back yard and Teresa smiled and said -
"their his monuments" - referring to all those towers and antennas squeezed
onto his lot!

Dad had been licensed previously as: W6QEZ, W2QPZ, KH6QJ, W6YYN, and W1WPO.
He was a radioman during WW II  and a member of ARRL for over 60 years - my
Dad would often joke at how the League was gonna lose money big time on his
lifetime membership!

In my last talks with him he wanted to hear about the big efforts planned
for this weekends CQ WW contest and especially how a fellow club member was
coming on a major antenna project.

Radio - when I was little it separated me from my Dad, as I grew older it
became the gift that turned by Dad into my best friend... thanks for the
ride, Dad - say hello to W0DX and KH6IJ for me.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Scoring  and Classification Problem of TA0-Calls in 
Contests
Message-ID: <20021124154859.7776.qmail@web40611.mail.yahoo.com>

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

During the scoring procedure for contests we got aware of  a problem which is 
unique to Turkey.

As widely known, in the Turkish Regulations the call-area 0 has been assigned 
to the islands. On the other hand there are islands which are eligible for the 
IOTA, besides some islands which are not (the islands in the Marmara Sea like 
Heybeli, Buyuk, Sivri, Kinali, Burgaz, Avsa, Marmara).

The problem is rather the location of the islands which mostly are in Asia. But 
all of the most commonly used contest-scoring and logging software count them 
automatically to Europe which causes a wrong sort of scoring, resulting in a 
unfair score for all stations which have worked any station located in the 
Turkish islands, particularly those in Asia. 

 All islands with the exception of the so called IOTA-Saros-Group (EU-186) are 
in Asia. 

In the CQ-WW-SSB Contest of 2002 the only participant from a Turkish island has 
been TA1E/0 which was located in Bozcaada, IOTA-AS-099, clearly a location in 
Asia. Therefore we ask the CQ-Contest Commitee to take this into account in 
favour of the stations having worked this particular one, if possible.

A definitive solution for the problem might be counting all TA0-Calls generally 
as Asia for contests and making a modification to the scoring software for 
accomplishing this. This is not unfair as in majority the Asian islands are 
activated during contests and there is no other alternative for solving the 
problem (it is impossible to assign distinctive Prefixes for the exceptions). 
The other fact is that the vast majority of the islands are located in Asia. 

In terms of IOTA-Contests there is no problem as scoring (and contest report 
exchange) incorporates the reference-number of the island.

I would like to ask all receipents of this mail to convey their thoughts about 
my proposal as soon as possible to me. If this solution is accepted, the next 
step has to be done by the vendors of the popular logging softwares.

 73!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.0.20021124185913.00a88820@130.94.229.242>

In CQWW-CW I had about 450 QSOs - mostly on 10m, both
running and hunting.

In all QSOs the exchange I gave was 14 - not 5NN14, just
14.  Only four stations asked for their RST, indicating
that over 99% accept that it makes no difference (to them)
whether or not the other station gives a report.

The 99% are right - it doesn't matter!  Their logs will
show 599 received, and my log will show 599 sent.  Even
if I gave something other than 599 to the stations who
asked for a report, it still does not matter what's in
their log or in mine, as reports are not cross-checked
in CQWW.

Yes, the rules say that RS(T) should be exchanged, and
I broke the rules.  I did this to draw attention to the
rules themselves, and to the archaic practice of
exchanging 5NN in major contests.

Perhaps the rules can be updated, because a "rule" that
is not enforced is not a rule - it's a recommendation.
 
Recommendations are not mandatory, they're optional. It
follows, therefore, that the exchange of RS(T) in CQWW
is optional.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Miniclock problem
Message-ID: <3DE21824.14359.25E589@localhost>

Just wanted to make everyone aware of something I noted this 
weekend. I use the program "Miniclock" to give me a mini-window to 
keep time dispayed on the screen.
I noticed that Miniclock and Writelog didn't agree as I logged QSOs, on 
day 2 (it was about 2 minutes ahead, when I noticed). Also noticed that 
Writelog used the time of the clock on the task bar in logging QSOs.
I use WinXP and update my system clock to NIST every 15 minutes. 
So, that means that Miniclock, while running, doesn't get updated, when 
the system time is corrected.
My solution was to terminate and restart Miniclock every now and then. 
Otherwise, I would have thought everyone else operated the contest 2 
minutes too long :.)

FWIW...

This is one statistic that I would not lose sleep over.  For those not
aware, a European station has been reinjecting duplicate spots into a
node connected to the internet.  When sending the duplicate spot, the
time of the second spot is changed so as to defeat the dupe filters of
node software like DXSpider or ARCluster.  So, with no ill will toward
the efforts of any group, these spot statistics are meaningless.

Can't argue with this.  I thought you reduced it to "E" but had sped up the
code to 248WPM thereby sending the signal report so fast that the RF never
got past the TR relay.

That can happen, you know.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] 10 meters in SS
Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.2.20021125105108.00a92b20@3n.net>

I'm a little late to this party, but here are my two cents. For me, ten 
meters is the most interesting band, which for me was proven again this 
weekend in the CQ WW CW contest. However, it's viable only when the solar 
cycle says so. I've come back to hamming after a 45-year lapse and got my 
Novice ticket at the peak of the current cycle. So I've had a ball 
operating phone on 10 meters just like I did in the early 50's (back then I 
didn't care that sporadic E was the only long distance option, and I looked 
for those openings).

However, as a Novice I recognized that having SSB privileges only on 10 
meters was very limiting for a beginner so I proposed to the FCC that it 
expand Novice/Tech Plus cum code certificate holders' privileges to include 
some SSB on the WARC bands as well as broader CW privileges on all the HF 
bands. The intent was to make the initial entry-level license privileges 
robust enough to persuade new licensees to remain in the hobby rather than 
abandon it as they now are doing in substantial numbers. (While the number 
of new licenses issued remains at a pretty good rate, the number of 
drop-outs is about equal to that rate and thus our hobby is not growing. 
Added to that fact is another: the average age of hams is increasing, which 
does not bode well for the future of our hobby.

In any event, the FCC published my petition for comment at the end of 2001 
(RM-10354) and it is awaiting action by the Commission. The ARRL followed 
up with a proposal in March 2002 to significantly expand CW privileges for 
new licensees, and the FCC also has taken the ARRL's petition under 
advisement. So something good may come out of all this. Who knows, some new 
hams even may take up contesting!

And yes, I did receive some nasty e-mails alleging character weakness on my 
part for proposing a further watering down of our hobby's requirements. But 
I'd rather see a growing group of committed hobbyists working the HF bands 
than a declining group satisfied with the status quo.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] MS-DOS end-of-life 31 December 2002
Message-ID: <20021125171539.79791.qmail@web13604.mail.yahoo.com>

A lot of us rely on DOS for our contest logging.  According to Microsoft's
policies, all support for DOS and Windows 95 ended on 31 December 2001 and
product end-of-life follows one year later:

  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle.mspx

Of course, this doesn't mean much, since as long as we have DOS floppies and
PCs that can load them, we can continue to build DOS-based logging systems.

Has anyone experimented with any of these DOS replacements (in a contest
environment)?  I thought that DR-DOS had some sort of 

  http://www.freedos.org/
  http://www.drdos.com/
  http://www-3.ibm.com/software/os/dos/

My recollection is that DR-DOS had some sort of networking support built-in.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
In-Reply-To: <004901c29495$e6cda530$0100a8c0@TL01>
Message-ID: <003e01c294a6$857e8ae0$c800640a@isla.net>

I think is very simple, if you dont get a report it is not a valid
contact  for the Dxcc awards and others, remember that a large % of the
contacts are just people working you knowing that they could get a QSL
card if they want to.
 Maybe if we could add the name...(It will kill the rate but illmake it
so much personal,)
 more people would be interested .

well in the future as dgital modes replaces CW, we could exchange all
meaningful info, including a picture of your antennas, shack and a
family portrait including your dog (optional)
this way you can really say that you have "friends all over'



Don?t change it...

Can't argue with this.  I thought you reduced it to "E" but had sped up
the
code to 248WPM thereby sending the signal report so fast that the RF
never
got past the TR relay.

That can happen, you know.

Well, there is still Windows 98.

Anyway, MSDOS hasnt really changed significantly in many years, so why is 
it important?

Hardware compatibility is a much more important issue for most of us...ISA 
slots are all but gone, etc.  What do we do with our good 'ol DVP's?

Message-ID: <1UUS3ZVP06090664B941W5A7EDZGE.3de2711f@sum789>

Hello:

Summary of propagation conditions for both CQ WW contest weekends (SSB and CW).

Prior to the CQ WW SSB contest weekend of October 26-27, 2002, sunspot group 99 
(NOAA 0162) dominated the solar flare activity.  Several halo coronal mass 
ejections (CMEs) were observed on October 24 and 25, and from October 24 
onward, 
high-speed solar wind streams swept past the Earth, triggering geomagnetic K-
index readings as high as 7.  This resulted in an Ap of 32 on both contest 
days.  
On the first day, the observed sunspot count was 130, with an associated 10.7 
cm 
flux index of 158, and a background X-ray level of B5.4 on the first day and 
B6.0 on the second day.  Thankfully, no flares occurred during the SSB contest 
weekend.  Polar paths were fair to poor, while High-, Mid-, and Low-latitude 
paths were generally good.

Amazingly, a rocky week also preceded the CQ WW CW contest weekend of November 
23-24, 2002.  The week started out with two M-class flares, and on November 19, 
a partial halo CME left the Sun, followed by a faint full halo CME on November 
20.  Solar wind speeds increased to 700 km/s in the night between November 21 
and 22.  The magnetic component of the IMF stream turned negative (south), 
causing very high geomagnetic storming by November 22 and early November 23, 
with a peak of 7 in the K-index.  Thankfully, things settled down later on the 
first contest day.  The observed sunspot count was 133 over the weekend, with a 
10.7 cm flux of 148 on November 23, and 146 on November 24.  The background X-
ray level was B5.9 on the first day, and B4.1 on the second.  A small Kp spike 
occurred again on the second day, but did not seem to degrade most mid- and low-
latitude paths.  Polar paths were generally fair.

What were your experiences on the air?  Which bands suffered?  Which were the 
best for you?  How did the contest weekends this year compare with past years?  
Do you have any comments about propagation and band conditions for this year?  
I'll summarize your comments and include them in the CQ Propagation column.  

Thank you.

I had the shock of my life to learn from Kantronics that not only do they
not sell the KAM any more, they no longer service the broken one I have.

Danny would be proud - 'long live Appliance Operators.'

Stupid quesiton: how do people do now what they used to do with KAMs?

Nowhere in the DXCC rules does it require a signal report to be exchanged.
In order to have a valid contact, one other piece of information besides
the callsign must be exchanged.  It could be anything - a grid square, a
name, etc.

I have submitted cards for 50 MHz and 144 MHz QSO's for DXCC that just
listed a grid square, no signal report, and they were credited to my
totals just fine. 

Contest rules may be more specific.  A signal report is supposed to be
required for CQWW but none is required for Sweepstakes or NAQP.

Paul,

The signal report gives the receiving operator something to grab hold of
... in marginal conditions hearing "5NN" tells me that the next characters
following are the zone and not part of the call sign.  In poor conditions
this can be a big help.  Let's keep the signal report as a requirement.
And please send it next contest!

Well, you can buy a new 'kam xl' or use your sound card and any of the
many programs (some of which are free) out there that do all sorts of

My guess is they figured that 

1) you screwed up on the exchange
2) QRM obliterated it
3) they, themselves missed it due to fatigue

In any case, they adapted, logging the (almost as unimportant part)
zone, and moved on. (I use, albeit infrequently, the zone as sort of a 
checksum on the prefix - it has saved my butt a few times)

CQWW is a rate contest so any "meaningful" exchange slows things down.  
The "599" is a sort of synchronizing sound - in QRM it lets one's 
internal audio filter (that listens for tone frequency and quality, 
fist, etc.) "lock" on the signal before the zone part comes.  The RST 
is required on DXCC QSL cards I believe - you want those folks to lie?

Tradition plays a role as well - folks are used to it.  There's nothing 
wrong with that...

John, No call? And yes you are trying to water it down to the point that
anyone who wants a license can get it and then you will have your numbers,
but a number of people who do not value their license or the hobby. Then
watch the chaos on the bands. Is that what you really want? Not me, I hope

I guess this means you have about a month to go to Micro$oft'$ web $ite and
download any remaining drivers or other add-ons for MS DOS & Windows 95.  I
guess it's just too much bother for Micro$oft to simply leave those pages
alone and unchanged (how dare we consumers continue to use older computer
technology in terms of hardware and software, don't we know better?, he
mutters sarcastically)

Digital Research's DR-DOS (also known as Novell DOS, since Novell owned
Digital Research for awhile) versions 6 & 7 were equivalent to or better
than MS-DOS 5.x & 6.x for networking support; certainly no reason to suspect
that it's been removed.  Same with IBM PC-DOS v.6. and higher.  And don't
forget about OS/2, if you can still find it somewhere; much of the time, the
OS/2 DOS compatibility box was better than the one(s) in Win 9x --
application and hardware dependant, of course.

Argh. Here we go again.

Used to be the only way to get a fuel injected engine was to build one. Now, 
most cars have them. Has that degraded the sport of auto racing? I think it 
has just raised the bar.

Used to be record M/S scores in CQ WW were in the 4Meg range, now they have 
doubled. Did computers, packet and digitally enhanced radios ruin the sport? 
I think they raised the bar.

The only certainty in life is change. The hobby will evolve just as HDTV will 
eventually eliminate conventional TV. Is this bad? Depends on if you watch TV 
much or not. 

Bitter lemons are the prelude to refreshing lemonade.

Sorry, but you are misinformed.  No minimum report, or indeed any
report whatsoever, is needed on QSL cards for any ARRL award.
 
 
I guess that most of the world is as misinformed as me so at the end is
the same result.
 
 
You will probably know that neither ARRL Field Day nor Sweepstakes
have signal reports.
 
Yes I do, but then a again are different contests and they attrack a
different crowd.....
A crowd that?s less everyday and Field day is not really a contest.
 
If you are unsure, please check with ARRL.
 
>Don?t change it...
 
Why?  Do you think that CQWW is perfect and could not possibly be
improved, even by making RST optional?
 
Too globalized of an idea... CQWW is not perfect,  we will have to
consider them separately and if we are going to make changes to it , let
them be meaningful ones that will attract newcomers.
 
I think everyone knows that everyday there are less amateurs world wide,
we wont get more qsos shorting the time of them, we get more qsos
getting more people on.
 
With all the attention going to computers and data is very hard to
believe that its going to grow. In fact I don?t think that it will
happen, I think that all the growth we need is already in tens of
thousands of Technician type amateurs all over the world
That don?t know the thrill of low band Dx ing and contesting .. if you
ask me lets merge some of this contests into one and its going to bring
growth at all levels.
 
Just picture this:
 
Its CQWW 2005 and the Bavarian team has installed another weapon a 5
meter dish for EME  from CN8 they also have a Six meter 4 yagi stack
towards europe.
 
What they don?t count on is that the team from HC8 now has a super
system that will probably yield them with  qso?s with thousands of JA?s
from 6 to 2 meters.  
 
All over the world there are teams that will bring their best Vhf and
microwave guys to exceed in this categories most of these new guys have
never operated the low bands

 
I can be all day here talking about the possibilities of such activity,
suddenly contest expeditions to rare countries can be combined and have
many more just because its easier to share the cost with more operators.
If you think about it, its us low banders that don?t like to be compared
with the VHF likes that don?t do anything exciting and usually don?t
know CW. 
We will still have multiple categories and people can choose what they
want to operate
We just have to use basic business principles here
 more market share
the more cross sell you can do to them. Get more people ni the activity
and they will get more involved and their competitive spirit will kick
in. Remember our competition comes from the dilution created by all
these new things to do. (computers and playstations)
 
Sorry for the Bandwidth, but I just could see another conversation
regarding futile changes to the CQWW.

Nowhere in the DXCC rules does it require a signal report to be
exchanged.
In order to have a valid contact, one other piece of information besides
the callsign must be exchanged.  It could be anything - a grid square, a
name, etc.
 
I have submitted cards for 50 MHz and 144 MHz QSO's for DXCC that just
listed a grid square, no signal report, and they were credited to my
totals just fine. 
 
Contest rules may be more specific.  A signal report is supposed to be
required for CQWW but none is required for Sweepstakes or NAQP.

It was added to the country files almost four weeks before the contest!

30 October 2002 (CTY-1205)

* Added R1ANC in CQ Zone 29 to callsign list for Antarctica, CE9. 
* Added FO5RK to callsign list for Austral Is., FO/a. 
* Added K4BEV in CQ Zone 4 and KL7GLL in CQ Zone 5 to callsign list for United
States, K. 
* Removed K8FC in Zone 5 from country file - he's back in Zone 4. 
* Added K2G to callsign list for Guam, KH2. 
* Added KD3RF/VE2 and VA3NA/2 (both in CQ Zone 2) and VY2MGY/3 to callsign list
for Canada, VE.

Yes and no.  I failed to install the new file I downloaded before the
contest, and after working K2G and getting zero points, I deleted the Q,
installed the new file and re-logged him.  he came up right, so SOMEbody DID
do their homework.  They also put AA6TT in zone 5 which I thought was cool.

I thought the callsign K2G made sense for other reasons.  I think a shorter
callsign is always better than a longer one, and I guess the "G" stands for
"Guam."

This is a theory that sounds plausible, but doesn't hold up in
practice.  I know, because I've had 750 contest QSOs in the last
month, without giving reports, except to 4 stations who asked for
it.  None of them needed it - they all got the zone - perhaps they
just couldn't adjust to the concept of a CQWW QSO without hearing
"fini" or 5NN.

Let's accept that RS(T) is optional in practice.  Those that want
to send it can continue as if nothing ever changes.

I'll gladly send 59(9) to anyone who asks for a report.

Perhaps not, because I was running most of the time, so many of them
would have known I was not sending 5NN.

I think a few others would have asked for a report, except that they
didn't have anything convenient in their keyer memories.  I use an
external keyer and paddle all the time, so it's easier for me to react
when I hear something unusual.

Yes, that's probably what happened most of the time.

>CQWW is a rate contest so any "meaningful" exchange slows things down.  
>The "599" is a sort of synchronizing sound

Yes, but I believe that's only because we all expect it.  If you
don't expect it, you won't miss it.  When I'm running and you call
me, I send your callsign - you hear it and you know the important
bit comes next.

>The RST is required on DXCC QSL cards I believe - you want those folks to lie?

No need for anyone to lie.  I've had specific confirmation from ARRL
that no signal report of any kind whatsoever is required on QSL cards
for any ARRL award.

>Tradition plays a role as well - folks are used to it.  There's nothing 
>wrong with that...

That's right, and there's nothing wrong with paper logging either.
It's just that I don't do it any more.  All I've suggested is that,
in CQWW, RST should be recognised as an optional field.  I would
prefer not to send it, but I'll gladly give 59(9) to anyone who
feels they would prefer to hear it directly from me.

But when the callers adopt your method, *you* lose the sync bit.  They send
nothing but 599XX.
Since I do a lot of running I like to hear the "599".

Message-ID: <002101c294f6$8ba35cc0$0100a8c0@joe>

I'm still puzzled why someone takes so vigourous a stand on so small an
issue.

WW is what it is. A rate fest. Most people are happy with that. It's a
proven formula for success. Remember, at its core, this contest is designed
to be as fun as possible for as many people as possible. The idea is to sell
magazines, remember? (Nothing is wrong with that. All sponsorship has as its
core the promotion of the host organization.)

I can accept WW for what it is and have an absolute blast doing so. I'd
probably have just as much fun if the report was more complicated, but that
would hurt participation at the lower levels of contesting commitment: the
casual ops who may or may not send in a log but who are so important to the
high levels of participation this contest enjoys.

WW works. I have yet to see evidence that a change in this area would have
anything but negative consequences.

Don't forget that the hard-core contester is only a part of WW's market.

This just seems like a lot of effort for not a lot of issue.

If you hadn't sent your zone, they'd have had that too, since the computer
already knows it.  Except for a few contests (ARRL Sweepstakes being the shining
exception which comes to mind) all that needs to be correctly copied is your
callsign (and the cluster probably already gave them that).  The notion that
contesting is a test of operator copying skill is as transparent as the emperors
new clothes.

Message-ID: <3DE2FB22.1050807@gte.net>

OK ... have got a question for folks who like to interpret rules.


I have a licensed YL no-code Technician friend, who has shown some 
interest in Contesting.  I'm trying to get her to do some SSB contest 
operating from my station.  I don't have much (if any) interest in 
operating those Contests.  Since she can't operate HF without me acting 
as "control operator", if we do enter a contest, would it be as


1)  Single op (she does all the operating, logging, etc.)
2)  Multi op (I'd just do the usual "control op" functions, but not do 
any actual operating myself)


Obviously, if I assisted in any way with any operating functions, that 
would automatically make us multi-op, which I'm comfortable with.  I'm 
just curious to know, if she does all the work, and I'm just watching 
and monitoring, would that count as a "true" single op operation?

Thanks, Ron  WD4AHZ

I loaded a machine with this & experimented with TRLog.  It didn't work.

Emporor's New Clothes (ENC)?  My all-time favorite analogy for
"Dilbert-esque" executive directives.  However, there is no such directive,
nor is anyone trying to lead us astray.

Contesting IS a test of operator copying skill.

How can I make that assertion?  Because the evaluation of performance is
whether it's correct or not in the log.

The debate over what tools the operator should use in copying is a different
discussion.  If the operator does not use the tools available to him
properly, he may log the information incorrectly.

Just plain old making a mistake without any outside influence actually
occurs.  This phenomena leads to errors in the log.

Using what is posted on packet without confirmation is poor operating -
plain and simple.  Using what the operator determines from using
SuperCheckPartial without confirming it - is again, poor operating.  Both of
these lead to errors in the log.

You'd be amazed at how many errors actually occur in just the callsigns.
Most Uniques are believed to be errors in copying rather than true Unique
callsigns.  (Most - not all!)

Before we seek to make it more of a test, we collectively need to recognize
that we all have not even come close to mastering the "test" at this level.

And the urgency really isn't apparent to me, because up through Win98SE, 
DOS is still available and accessible at startup.  I am a lot more 
concerned about the disappearance of ISA slots and the impending ditto for 
serial and parallel ports.

Jim,

First ran DR-Dos when it was introduced as an alternative to MS-Dos.

Last week I couldn't find the MS-Dos 6.22 disks, so I downloaded the latest 
DR-Dos (ver 7.xx)  used it to run TR for the contest.

Absolutely no problem & defaulted to a dual-boot system to boot.

Adding a set of DR-Dos installation disks to my "tool kit".

Yes!  Try to find a card with a PCI slot that will do two or more RS-232
serial connections.  I think there are a few out there, but they're very
rare.

When I last tried it I couldn't get cwkeyer working.  I note a new parallel
port CW module has been written, haven't tried it yet.

Good point.  (and going to Linux doesn't fix this)  

That said, there are a LOT of parts for the current - and past - line of 
computers
kicking around.  Hams have proven awfully good at keeping obsolete equipment
going; ask any of the thousands still using TS-930s, Drake C-lines, SB-220s,
SB-102s, etc..  I expect anyone who wants to keep contesting with DOS/ISA
will be able to do so for at least another decade, if not much longer.

What's the URL?  (I tried this a few months back but couldn't find it)

Does this end of support by Microsoft mean that someone can put
MS DOS 6.xx on the web page for a free download?

Finding one that does 2 serial ports using a shared IRQ is easy.  I use the
CompUSA "house brand" at home under Windows, but there are others.

However, finding one that has separate IRQs for each port is much more
difficult.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
Message-ID: <200211261248_MC3-1-1C5B-7031@compuserve.com>

I didn't hear EI5DI this weekend but if I had, I would have asked
for the RST. It's part of the exchange and, since Paul has admitted
he did not send it, sorry but I feel the entry should be penalised or 
perhaps excluded altogether.

The vast majority of reports are always going to be 599, especially
in a rate contest like CQWW. The fact that almost no-one sends
other than 599, no matter what the circumstance, can I think be blamed
on K1EA, since CT led the way with computer logging and it doesn't let 
you log anything but 599 as the sent exchange. Interestingly, when 
EI5DI was developing his SD contest logger, he added the ability to
log a sent report other than 599 at my request. That doesn't seem to 
be consistent with his campaign to get rid of RS(T) altogether.

This weekend there were three signals, all Europeans, that I found 
so disgusting I sent them a report of 595. Maybe their rigs had just 
developed a fault, but I suspect they like to use a bad note to 
clear a nice big frequency around them. I'll be manually editing 
these sent reports into the Cabrillo log. In the future I'd like to see
RSTs
(and zones) cross-checked in the CQWW contests, and it would seem
to me that if a station receives a lot of reports of a bad note, it could
be
argued their dirty signal was causing excessive QRM and this could
be grounds for penalising the entry. 

>From a US perspective, getting the zone right is not really an issue, 
but my .zon file has just over 100 entries in it and that works out at 
about 6 percent of Ws that weren't in the zone as defaulted by CT. 
I'm hoping that one year the checking software will be enhanced 
to check received zone number. This could result in huge score 
reductions for some entrants outside the US!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Serial Parallel port cards.
Message-ID: <001801c29577$c0dde690$d3096cd8@jallen>

There are a couple of manufactures that I know of that still make them.  I
have found the Lava 2SP-PCI sets up and works well in DOS, W95, W98, and XP,
which I am using now.  As the model number implies it adds 2 Serial and 1
Parallel port using a PCI slot.  They are at www.lavalink.com

I understand that others have had good luck with www.starteck.com, I wish
that I could say the same.  Mine never did work right and I ended up
replacing it with the Lava.

I have no connection whatever with either of these outfits, other than being
a satisfied customer of one and having bad luck with the other.

It is not just a matter of loading the right computer data table...
truncated calls are a little confusing.  Folks get used to longer calls.  In
Canada, when I used VY1A, friends wanted to put the "J" in the call and
others not used to hearing VY1JA, expected a letter after the A...  at least
the normal 2x2 they are used to hearing.

Other Canadians using totally unusual calls like CK7Z do not have that
problem, but instead may be asked where they are. (Going back to entering
computer data... not your fault, Jim)

I find 1x1 calls confusing on first glance, and am sure that I am not the
only one.  My goodness, with a location advantage like Guam in the first
place, does anyone there NEED a 1x1 call to help with the contests?

And yet, for most, contesting is about using every tool within the rules to
get the highest possible score.  I hope the missing letter helped, Guam.
:o)

Hi Zack, not rare, but in the expensive category. I bought one about 3
months ago that has 4 serial outputs using 1 IRQ.

And for Pete, there are plenty of motherboards availbable which have
ISA slots. 
Try a peek at http://www.jdr.com. I've got 2 just sitting on the
shelf. Around 400 mHz with the cpu which came with it if I remember,
but posibility they could be speeded up.

Think I paid about $89 for them. Identical twins.

Here is where the boneyards come in handy. I've forgotten the name,
but I have an old
card from back when you had to have a HD and floppy controller on the
card. It also has 2 LPT ports, and 4 comm ports in ISA. All of the
above can be enabled or disabled and there are various combinations
which allow you to seperately configure the comm ports.

If anyone interested, I'll dig it out of the desk and post more.

Message-ID: <3DE3D753.7080706@tampabay.rr.com>

AD1C mentions the CompUSA house brand mother board is set up for two 
Comm Ports with unique IRQs...that is nice but I want more....

What I am wondering is - were there mass produced PC's which 
automatically came with 3 or 4 comm ports?  To me those are what I wish 
every position had at my place - this is kind of a re-hash - but in the 
past we have talked about who sells cards to add the extra comm ports... 
did a manufacturer IBM/Dell/Gatway/Whoever produce four comm port 
machines with non conflicting IRQs on as contract for some industry?

With the older machines about to become un-supported my Microsoft, IF 
there was an industry that had purchased computers in bulk that had 4 
comm ports on them I would love to meet one of their Sustems guys and 
slip him a greenback or two.... undoubtedly this stuff is going to be 
replaced (if it hasn't already) and not to have to sub contract out 
adding the extra comm ports to a two port machine would be just ducky - 
I am more than content with DOS based logging software - I have not been 
sold on Windows based stuff at all - as far as I can see the DOS based 
programs do all I could ever want and I have some scores to prove that!

1 - I need a comm port to interface with the network (even when I am 
single op I have two computers running for redundancy and my ease at 
SO2R - not to mention it makes an excellent back up - the one time 
recently I did not do this the logging computer crashed and I lost the 
first night of the ARRL Ten Meter contest due to it)

2 - I need a comm port to interface with the network (ptional - can go 
LOOP network and only need one for netowrking - but it seems the LINK 
option always boots right up versus the loop where it takes work to set 
up system parameters in the autoexec files wheras I have a box full of 
null modem adaptors!)

3 - I need a comm port to interface with the packet spot sucker - this 
can be on one computer in the network since once it gets into one 
machine that info is shared through the network

4 - I need a comm port to interface with the rig - this is as far as I 
am concerned MANDATORY - if you have not automated your station yet - DO 
IT!  No more tranmistting into the wrong antenna and hosing the linear 
at ) Dark 30.  I actually switch the antennas by driving the automated 
boxes directly from the transciever so I can enjoy the switching even 
when the computer is off)

... TO ME an ideal find would be a computer like a low end Pentium 100 
some odd megaherz with 4 comm ports ready to be used.... as I mentioned 
at some positions in a multi-multi we can get by with two minimum (rig 
and network) - but I like the idea of finding a half dozen of these soon 
to be extinct puppies looking for a contest home where they only have to 
compute for a few weekends each year!

ANYONE KNOW OF AN INDUSTRY THAT USED SUCH A MACHINE (bunch of them) that 
I should look at as a possible source for "ideal" station ocmputers?

Jim, K4OJ

I doubt it.  In fact, I suspect if someone put any old Micro$oft software
out on the web without their permission, even something as old, "obsolete,"
and unsupported as MS DOS 6.x (let alone stuff older than that), you'd be
hearing from Micro$oft'$ legal staff.

Remember, they still "own" the software, you don't and never have.  Ever
read the license agreement?  Right -- that's a license, not a sale.

And I'm curious about that link for DR-DOS too.  CP/M lives on!

Does this end of support by Microsoft mean that someone can put
MS DOS 6.xx on the web page for a free download?

If the program is to be ported to Linux it would be best to start now
instead of when it's -really- needed.

I am using TR-Log in a DOS vm under Linux.
Parallel port keying seems to work fine to me.

The fact that almost no-one sends other than 599, no matter what the 
circumstance, can I think be blamed on K1EA, since CT led the way with computer 
logging and it doesn't let you log anything but 599 as the sent exchange. 

<<

Dave,

I'm not sure how long you've been around, but I know that long before the PC 
was invented, we had "5NN T5" programmed into memory keyers sending the same 
exchange.  Never mind that the CQ Log Sheets had space for other than a 599 
report, we never sent a different one anyway.

K1EA likely recognized that no one ever sent other than 5NN, so why complicate 
things?  He certainly didn't start this revolution.

Maybe WB4VVF is to blame?  (Any other OT's remember that callsign?)

Jim,

I would suggest that you don't need 4 com ports any longer and should
consider using Ethernet instead for your CT network.  Granted, it is a bit
more trouble to set up, but once it's working, you're done.

The Ethernet card uses one interrupt, so that leaves plenty for other
activities.

So, those computers with two ports are able to handle your rig interfacing
and also connecting a TNC or some other serial device.

To run Ethernet with CT's DOS version, you need K1TTT's NETTSR program which
you can download from his website.

If you can run Windows, you can use CTWin which has built-in network
capability.  I understand several multi-ops have recently changed to using
CTWin very successfully.

73,
N5NJ

Speak for yourself, white man.  Kemo Sabe been sending occasional 59(something
other than 9) for crappy signals, as required by the rules.  Some of those
chirpy/drifty CO signals can cover three bands during a single exchange.  :-)

As our PT5A CQ CW M/M team members return home to USA and Finland, we wish
to thank all we worked, especially those who helped contribute to our 66
countries on Top Band in the contest. An amazing feat by Jeff K1ZM, from so
very far away from everywhere, and excellent antenna construction by the
PT5A team.

And we are very proud to say that we were able to develop our score WITHOUT
the use of packet.  I guess our old ears still work and that a DX CONTEST
may still sometimes represent actual DXing.

Many thanks to our very special Brazilian hosts, Sergio PP5JR/ZX5J and Oms
PY5EG, and the great group of Brazilian ham friends there in Southern Brazil
that contributed to our mutual success, in so many ways.

In closing, most of you are probably unaware that Oms had major surgery 10
days ago, and is now recovering, very well, at home.  Many of you know Oms
personally, and the major contributions he has made to contesting, and
especially in South America.  I'm sure Oms would welcome a "get well soon
note" from any so inclined:

And I hope to hear you all from Ascension Island next week, including ARRL

Anyone know if Hy-Gain made a dual band 10/15 or 12/17 yagi pre 1995? I
have a 14' boom , 3L yagi with a single trap on each element side. It
looks like a hy-gain trap, but the guy who gave it to me said it was a
tribander-cant see that with only one trap/element side. The DE is 159" on
a side, with 32" after the trap- any ideas on a model?
Thx and happy thanksgiving to the list!

That's what I thought happened when you called me.
And it made me hesitate, which probably cancelled
any time saved by not sending the 5NN "sync pulse."

We've been using Ethernet at KC1XX for the last couple (few) years.  One 
advantage is that all computers go to a central hub, there is no daisy 
chain.  Only a computer which is temporarily off the network will miss a 
QSO -- it doesn't break the chain like a bad bulb in those old-fashioned 
string Christmas lights.  Plus the implications around serial ports is obvious.

Ethernet cards are throw-away items these days ($10 for a 10MB card).  Good 
luck finding a 2-serial port expansion card for that kind of money.

Okay, that's it - I _am_ an OT... not only do I remember 'VVF, but I also have
an Accu-Keyer & an Accu-Memory somewhere in the basement of my Dad's
house back in W7.

If my recollection is correct, one could program a pause in a message of
the Accu-Memory, so inserting a non-599 report was entirely possible,
although it would force one to manually insert the RST every time.

To help ensure they don't do as well as they otherwise could?

I already had the US & zone 5 mults, so just kept tuning past K2G.

They may have worked zone 24, but they probably didn't get a VR.

Calls like K2G & K7K are taking these Yank geographically meaningless

Brett,

I think that either your feeble old memory or mine has mixed up the 
capabilities of other keyers with the accu memory.

There was an Accu-Memory II that was only available in a commercial version 
that may have had features such as this, but I don't believe that the original 
was that sophisticated.

I thought that such pauses for input were started in keyers such as the 
venerable KC Keyer and some from AEA.

I'll agree.  1x1 calls like k2g or k1b are probably not good in
contests.  There are a couple reasons, first not all contesters are
dxers who follow all the expedition lists, and second, they require a
special update of country files so that logging software knows they are
multipliers.  Trying to get the word out that some non location specific
call like that is something special takes time and is bound to miss lots
of contest participants.

I operated all weekend at PJ2T and saw K2G spotted repeatedly via
packet and it never occured me while operating there that it was
anything other than the USA (spots for KC1XX and others kept popping
up too).  So I never bothered to chase him down.  Thanks to AH2R for
making sure we didn't miss the Guam multiplier!  No mistaking
that callsign, for sure.

I have a HYGain 1015DB. While it ain't the best antenna I have on those
bands, it has worked a lot of stuff. It would probably perform better if I
didn't have it sandwiched between a 205BAS and a 402CD with only about 5
feet separating the 1015 from the two antennas above and below.

I think I have the manual someplace if you need some info.

Remember using one sometime ago on my old shack PC and it worked well. Now

I just have to add this little fillip to the previous thread.

My wife was listening this a.m. to "Dr. Laura" on a local AM station. A 
10-yr-old boy called in to complain that because his mother watched Dr. 
Laura every day he couldn't do something he wanted to. Dr. Laura explained 
that his mother could not be watching her because she (Dr. Laura) only has 
a radio show. The boy insisted his mother "watched" Dr. Laura. After a 
while it became clear the boy had no idea what Dr. Laura was referring to 
when she used the word "radio" and that for him the notion of "radio" was a 
foreign concept.

I think I know what you're getting at John, however, at one point in time, the 
act of listening did involve watching some very vivid images.  This 'watching' 
was all done via the listeners imagination.

I used to build the Accu-Keyers to sell (even sold a CMOS version), and 
also built three or four of the Accu-Memories.  If my feeble old mind 
remembers correctly, you could pause for any length of time while you 
were programming it to make a word space, and then continue.  Maybe 
that's what Brett is thinking of?

Kinda depended upon how many exchanges you had... if you wanted to prepare 
a 2nd exchange, you could default it to 599 while using the other exchange 
to pause for a hand-entered RST.

Over the years, I probably built 5 Accu-Keyers, 3 CMOS Accu-Keyers, and one 
Accu-Memory.  I believe that may have been the VERY FIRST keyer ever 
designed which offered automatic character spacing... a REAL boon to CW 
ops... it's successor was the KC Keyer and then the CMOS SUPER KEYER 
line... now sold by Idiom Press.

Drew White/K9CW's micromputer-based contest keyer (8748) had that feature.
You simply punched the memory keypad number to start the message and press
the appropriate 's' number on the keypad to automatically fill it in.  If no
second number is pressed, the RST goes out as 5NN.

His keyer was featured in January 1981 Ham Radio Magazine.  I built it back
then.  I used it for a number of years.  It was a great keyer.

There was definitely a follow-up project to the infamous Accu-keyer 
article that was a memory add-on.  It was also published in QST and 
used 2102 devices or something.

Not sure what it was called, but Accu-Memory sounds right.
I built one and it actually worked...for a while.

Yep.  I used to be able to recognize my friend Rag Otterstad's fist, and

not Rag in Denmark, but now again LA5HE in Norway!

And, of course, most of us can remember when a VR2 was about to send a Zone
32 from Fiji!  But there you go again, VR2 has moved to VS6 and Zone 24.

Jeez, I guess we're all just going to have to get our code readers out.  And
maybe "ask" what the country is.

Short call signs are GREAT.  I truly hope we'll hear more of them.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Out of Band operating 80/40m
Message-ID: <OF548B325E.679809B4-ONCA256C63.007E39ED@aap.pwcinternal.com>

It would be great for you guy's in the US to re-assess your self imposed
CW/SSB barriers...  Operating split on 7028/7245 (SSB) for one QSO made me
feel uncomfortable, and while VK does not have any strict CW/SSB divisions,
operating SSB below 7030 outside contests would be a bad sport.  From our
licensing persepective, both are fully legal.

Even on 80m... our little VK 6Khz SSB slot gets busy and issues or
sportsmanship arise during contests....  It was moot this year, as my
80/160m array failed prior to CQWW SSB.   You would get many votes from VK
for opening up the US 80m SSB band down to 3650 or 3660.

The reverse VFO ID of a few US stations was a prompt to go split on 40m...
but mostly a little in cw "USA" was enough of a queue..

Thank you!  You Sir, understand the spirit of radiosport is a test of
skill, not a test of who can assemble the most outside assistance.

Now, can we outlaw "Super Check Partial" too?

I sent this out to our local new hams - maybe you have a local group that would 
benefit from a little encouragement to play...

73, Ward N0AX

Hi folks,

Some of you have expressed an interest in CW and this is the weekend to 
practice it.  The annual ARRL CW Sweepstakes runs from 1 PM on Saturday to 7 PM 
Sunday evening on 80 through 10 meters (not on 30, 17, or 12-meters).  While 
you might recoil in horror at the high code speeds, tune wayyyyyyy up in the 
bands and there will be some folks going nice and slow.  The Novice bands on 
80, 40, 15, and 10 meters often have a number of slow-speed stations hanging 
out up there.  Don't be afraid to jump in there and give 'em a call.  I 
*guarantee* your code speed will double with just a few hours at the key.

Here's how it works...

1) You hear somebody calling "CQ SS CQ SS de N0AX"
2) Send your call ONCE - "W7VMI" - don't send their call and don't send yours 
twice or three times.  If they don't copy your call on the first try, they'll 
send "AGN" or "?" or just CQ again.  So call 'em again.  If they're going too 
fast, send "QRS" and they'll slow down.
3) If they hear you, they'll send something like this - "W7VMI 107 A N0AX 53 
CO"  What the heck does that mean?
    - W7VMI is your call to let you know they're talking to you
    - 107 is the number of the contact in the contest for them (their next 
contact will be 108, etc.)
    - A is their entry class (low power) - there are A, B, M, Q, S, and U 
classes
    - Then they send their call
    - 53 is the last two digits of the first year they were licensed - it's 
called a "check"
    - CO means Colorado, their ARRL Section (there are 80 - some are states, 
others aren't, all are two or three letters)
4) If you don't get it all, it's perfectly OK to send "QRS PSE, AGN" - which 
means "Slow down, send it again, please"
5) If you do get it - way to go!  Here's what you send...
    - Their call
    - The number this contact is in the contest for you - if it's your first 
send "1" and pat yourself on the back
    - Your class (QRP is Q, <150W is A, >150W is B, M is multioperator, S is a 
school club, and U is unlimited...don't ask)
    - Your call
    - The last two digits of the first year you were licensed - if you got your 
license last year, it's "01", for example
    - Your section, "WWA" for Western Washington, maybe, or "IL" for Illinois, 
or "PQ" for Province Quebec - ah, but oui!
6) If they don't get it, they may say...with a question mark, maybe...
    - "AGN" - send everything all over again
    - "NR" - repeat just the number a couple of times
    - "PREC" or just "PR" - repeat your class letter, it's called "precedence" 
for a number of reasons you don't care about
    - "CALL" - repeat your call (this is rare)
    - "CK" - repeat the two digits of the year, your check
    - "SEC" or "QTH" - repeat your section
7) They may ask YOU to QRS, you speed demon, so do it with a smile!
8) If they copy everything, they'll say a short "TU" (for thanks) or "R" (for 
Roger) or "QSL" (for received OK) and then just send their CQ or maybe just 
their call and away you both may go.
9) Sometimes, it just doesn't work out - QRM (interference) or QRN (static) or 
QSB (fading) or the cat could cough up a hairball on the rug requiring 
immediate action.  Don't take it personally, just go find somebody else to 
call.  It's a no-fault deal.
10) If you get tired of "Searching and Pouncing", then tighten your belt, mop 
your brow, cock your hat at a jaunty angle and call CQ!  It's easy - don't have 
a cow, man, just call "CQ SS CQ SS de W7VMI W7VMI" and listen, repeat if 
necessary.  Soon you'll get an answer.  Just play back the above steps with you 
as the call-ee.

What's the object?  Make as many contacts as you can.  Try to contact as many 
different sections as you can.  Try to spell your name from the last letters of 
the calls you work.  Work your home state.  Work your brother's state.  Nobody 
can stop at just one QSO...

It's a lot of fun - the hours will fly by.  Keep a simple paper log the first 
time out to make it easy - you can worry about entering it on a computer later. 
 There are complete rules and instructions for operating and scoring and 
sending in the log on the ARRL Web site 
http://www.arrl.org/contests/rules/2002/nov-sweeps-rules.html.  Come spring of 
2003, you can click on over to the contest results and wonder-of-wonders, there 
your call will be with the mighty titans in the very same font size just a few 
lines away.  Woo-hoo!!

Go for it!

On a related note, has anyone ever gotten a Popkin-Gram for operating USB
near the bottom edge (or LSB near the TOP)?  How close?

Not only would you be LOUDER, but your signal would get 
there before anyone else's...a great recipe for breaking pileups!

I'm sure there are some who would go work a guy out of the band "on
purpose".  We all know the type.  But I can easily imagine that most
out-of-band operating is either ignorance or contest-induced enthusiasm.
How often do some contesters actually get on between contests and operate
near the bottom?  Even when they do, tuning PAST the bottom of the band is
*usually* marked by the sudden lack of signals.  This is not so during phone
contests as DX is waiting there more often.  Also, the bottom edges of phone
bands are not so easily remembered and they have moved over the years
whether in general or somewhat sporadically by license upgrading.  I cannot
recall the last time the defined "bottom" of a CW band moved so arbitrarily.
But enough excuses...

Certainly, the frequency data in Cabrillo could be used to nail 'em but
that's another (probably country-by-country) database that would need to be
kept up-to-date... but we do have the technology.  Cabrillo could never
squelch "Listen up" however.

"I just looked back, to see what condition my conditions was in" --Jerry
Reed

I hope the sun is nice to us northerners this weekend. The report below
kinda gives me the eeby jeebies!

------------------
From: SKY & TELESCOPE's AstroAlert for Sun-Earth Interactions

 a possibility continues to exist for
additional impressive and dynamic solar limb activity over the next few
days.
There is also a chance we may see additional major x-ray flares over the
coming week or two if the active sunspot complex responsible for this latest
X-class solar flare originated with the spot complex behind the southeast
limb. That sunspot region will gradually rotate into better view over the
next several days, while old Region 10162 will be lost behind the northwest
limb. The area of primary interest will now switch from Region 10162 on the
west limb to the new active spot complex on the southeast limb.

Associated images and movies of this dynamic activity can be found at
http://www.spacew.com/astroalert.html.

It always nice to see someone is sure there is an East Coast conspiracy...

Sections exist because of the administrative needs of the ARRL Field 
Organization and any "recent" changes (KP2/KP4, EWA/WWA, WNY/NNY, WCF/SFL) have 
taken place because hams in those areas successfully organized and presented a 
case for change.   Nothing to do with contesting.

Sweepstakes just uses Sections as multipliers.    Some are quite small (KP2 has 
62) and some very large (Ohio has 6483) but it is roughly reflective of the 
number of hams in each area.

W7GG: what "new" Section in Canada are you referring to?   I'm not aware of 
any.  The Canadian multipliers are the 8 RAC Sections VO(1+2), Maritimes 
(VE1/9+VY2), VE2-3-4-5-6-7) plus VE8/VY1/0 for a total of 9.  I think it's been 
that way a very long time.

Actually, the cabrillo file only lists the freq if you are using a computer
controlled radio.  On 40 it shows the rx frequency not the tx frequency,
(at least in my logs).

I don't like it either, but it's becoming an unfortunate fact of life.  As long
as we can listen below 7.040 (or 7.030) and keep getting answers, we'll
continue to listen there.  If we never got answers, we'd be forced to try to
work in the muck above 7.040.

Maybe WRC-03 or whatever it's called will fix 40 meters, but I'm not holding my
breath.

Well, right after WCF was created, I just jumped at the thought of an
EGA and WGA.

Called the ARRL and found out that financial considerations are a BIG
factor, plus getting someone to serve section manager, and on the
various committees. Considering the number of hams in WCF, there is
simply no justification for that section ( but I LIKE it ), and hats
off to the guys there who organized and got it done.

I believe ample justification exists for many other States. NC, AL,
IL, IN, ect.

Just please don't split up SC.

The case for West Central Florida (for example) was that the major population 
center around Tampa Bay was split between NFL and SFL, with section officials 
in Miami, for example, having to travel very long distances to serve League 
interests in the central part of the state.  Having one section in the 
area also improves ARES coordination.

I believe the case for EWA/WWA was similar - the growing population centers 
east of the coastal mountain ranges were not capable of being adequately 
served by League officials based in the Seattle area, especially in winter
storms when some of the passes close, it was affecting ARES operations.
Perhaps Oregon could make a similar argument, but for whatever reason, they
haven't yet.

Simply based upon population, STX might be a good candidate for a split.  
We have four very large population centers, two of which have been among the 
ten largest cities in the United States for decades (Houston and San Antonio,)
but on the other hand, travel and coordination between those population centers
is not geographically difficult, and most of the ARES operations are either 
very local (tornadoes) or they tend to affect the coastline as a whole
(widespread flooding, hurricanes) so from an ARES standpoint, keeping STX the
way it is might be desirable.

And how well connected they are.  It's easy to drive from one point of 
Ohio to another - to get from St. Thomas to San Juan probably requires air 
travel in most cases, which makes a good case for separate VI and PR sections.
The same case might be made about the disparate components of PAC, but either
there really aren't enough hams in KH8/KH2/etc. to warrant it, or they 
really don't care and have never presented a case for it to the League.

I'm not aware of any section having ever been created based even in part on
an argument related to Sweepstakes or other ARRL-sponsored contests (which 
use sections for award distribution purposes.)

Newfoundland used to be part of the MAR section until about five or six 
years ago.

Lately, I've been receiving a lot of nice comments about

is the real wizard behind the curtain - collecting data 
and providing the report templates. 

Bruce has given me back my life through the Score Collection
Web page and has allowed the contest community to continue
having these reports available through his hard work. That, 
while supporting the NCJ Webpage, his own Contest Calander page,
and making a living.

Bruce doesn't tout his own horn and probably won't like me doing

I am sure I'll get the flamethrower from the "we have too much
damn government" multitudes that populate our fine country,
but the debacle on the 160 meter band here in the United States
has proven that U.S. hams MUST have mode sub-bands dictated by
law.  We in the U.S. just LOVE to do anything LEGAL, with the
ethical and interpersonal questions be damned.  I can assure
you that the day the FCC removes sub-band restrictions in law
from U.S. amateur allocations is the day that CW and digital
modes will meet an untimely death, worldwide.  That would go
for contesting on those modes, too.

I'll shut up now.  GL to all this weekend.

Ahh... but the software can be far more sophisticated.  If you worked 
a CQing station on 21.150 SSB, and either he is logging his freq, or 
other operators log the freq when THEY worked him, your frequency can 
be ascertained.

Remember, your movements on the band can be reconstructed in great 
measure WITHOUT your log!

Well for SS your concerns are obviously the next few days, and not the
coming week or two. So, if whatever activity does occur is going to be
confined to the limb, then it's not going to cause you too much in the
way of grief from bad effects. Other than perhaps a brief shortwave
fadeout.

Hint: If a flare does happen, then it's time to head for 10M or 15M or
take a half-hour of off time.

Don't worry, be happy. And bring it on!

For those of you wondering as to the creation of the WCF section.... It made 
sense since the center of population of the west coast of Florida was split 
between north and south as has been noted in a preivious post.  However, the 
population of the section is approximately 3,629,000 and much of the area is 
some of the fastest growing in Florida.  That number is about 25% of 
Florida's population.

One of the proponents of the new section and who worked hard for its creation 
was N4PK who became a silent key last month.  Paul was a member of the FCG 
and will be missed.  That's just a thought you should be aware of when you 
get that 80th section, courtesy of Paul, N4PK

See you in SS.

Thanks all the same, but I'd prefer that we left the Indiana section alone. 
Northern IN and Southern IN would be the only logical divisions, and I don't

Message-ID: <001301c281d0$8a322d00$1c096cd8@jallen>

The ARRL bulletin for today included this note:

"This weekend is the ARRL CW Sweepstakes, a great old domestic
contest. The beginning of the weekend may not be bad, but a solar
wind stream on Sunday could cause some problems for HF operators.
The planetary A index is expected to be 12 on Friday and Saturday,
and around 20 on Sunday and Monday. Since this is a domestic
contest, there won't be any problem with disruptions on the polar
path to Europe, but it could affect communications with Northern
Canada"

That "Northern Canada" note includes VY1, VE8, & VY0.  On Sunday, expect
one-way communications and the tendency for North-South communications to be
workable, but East-West from the north to be nearly impossible.

In the East coast, you may not hear us at all.  If you do hear VY1JA,
realize that when propagation is one-way, I will hear you louder than you
hear me (almost always).  Try, even if my signal is weak, especially in the
period around 1800-2000.  After that, I may not hear you at all under these
conditions.

This Sunday, it is very important to get the QSO when you hear it if you are
in the East Coast so I will stand by for East Coast from time to time.  In
the West, my signal is likely to be weaker than usual, but QSOs have nearly
always been possible.

Bottom line, WORK THE NORTH ON SATURDAY, preferably at the start of the
contest, before the solar storm hits, aim you beam toward KL7 and hope for
the best.

My rig is acting up again.  The Omni-V is cutting in and out. I am working
on the rig today to see if I can find this intermittent.  That type of
problem is VERY hard to locate, so wish me luck. It sounds like a parasitic
in the rig and intermittently kills reception.  When it is there it hits the
transmit side as well, and causes a sharp rise in SWR on transmit, and I am
now concerned that the high SWR is indicating that it is trying to transmit
out of band, which means immediate QRT when the intermittent occurs.

Fortunately, the intermittent has lasted a maximum of about two minutes...
so hang in there if we are in the middle of a QSO and I disappear.

Finally, I have been hit with a flu bug which has just started.  I still
plan to do my best to get YT to anyone that needs it, especially on
Saturday, considering the propagation forecast.  At this time I am unaware
of any other CW operations in Yukon, and I wish you all luck finding me.  I
will, as usual, find a clear spot at my MUF (which is lower than yours in
the south)before the contest, and work stations there waiting for the
starting gong.  That will make it easier to find Yukon.

If you are aware of any other YT/NWT/NT ops committed to this contest,
please let me know as it will ease my mind concerning my rig's behavior.

Some advantage.....Usually I and maybe one other station east of the 
Mississippi cracks the top ten SSB high power.  Uh, lets see, that's makes 80 
%  for the west coast, right?

It could get there TOO much faster. The acceleration would need to be modeled 
and the distance to the receiving station taken into account. The taper of the 
antenna element is something to pay attention to as well. Do you think we 
should let the folks at JoGunn in on this phenomenon?

Although the "West" has a bit of an advantage over the "East" in the
modern SS contest, this advantage does not extend to the "West Coast"
in this or the past decade.  There has been something of a shift in
demographics with the decline of the American automobile industry
(i.e., in Detroit) and the replacement of the midwestern family farm
with giant agribusiness.  Amateur radio contesting in the Great Lakes
region declined numerically in favor of the South and Northeast.  The
result is that a lower percentage of contesters are found within the
single hop range of the coastal California and Pacific Northwest
stations.  In the early 70's Pete Grillo (then W6RTT and then a recent
winner of the SSCW) explained the coming shift in demographics to me
(then a teenage WB6OLD and then also a recent winner of the SSCW) and
predicted that the Gulf Coast region would be the hotbed of victorious
contesters in the upcoming years.  I had trouble believing it, but it
certainly turned out to be true during the 80's and up to the present.
The Northeast, however, unquestionably has the biggest advantage in DX
contesting these days -- European ham radio being a great area of
growth.

There is no east coast advantage in SS. Look at rate charts. The big east
coasters will put up huge numbers on Saturday yet often finish far behind
the pack.

A theory I've heard is that they work the crap out of 80/75 but their rates
suffer on Sunday when all that's left are multihop paths that are less
productive. They basically run the eastern seaboard dry on Saturday and pick
up the scraps on Sunday. No flames, please, it's just a theory I've heard.

Aside from the time-tested advantages of WP3R at Arecibo, in my view there
is only one place in North America that has significant advantages over
others: Saskatchewan.

Manitoba is a close second. Why? We have optimum hops into the heart of
American amateurdom. We can work into the Indiana-NY belt like nobody's
business. And from Virginia to the Carolinas and the Gulf states, we
generally (or so we're told) are LOUD. Then we can run W6s like stink. And
when we need to, we can go into the Tech band on 10 and run Gulf Coast
Techs. From here, none of the sections are particularly "hard" to work, as
long as someone is there.

And of course the VE4 or VE5 prefix is good for several dBs. It's not quite
the gain that VY1JA gets from his prefix, but we're not as severely affected
by aurora like Jay is either.

Hops into Saskatchewan fall a little more optimally than in Manitoba, which
is why I rate VE5 higher.

But Shhh! Don't tell anybody, please.

Message-ID: <3DC32E86.7020903@tampabay.rr.com>

Trust me - being in a new section IS NOT WHAT IT IS CRACKED UP TO BE!

West Central Florida has been around for several years now and still we 
are all asked if we are in North or South Florida....

Most WCF Contesters who do "the phone" don;t even say West Central 
Florida, they have better luck with Whiskey Charlie Fox - the other guy 
will type QCF before he questions the existence of West Central Florida....

TIMELY -  FOR THOSE WORK ME

it's WCF

Thanks,

Jim, K4OJ

OK - I certianly will try, Nat

Note - as I mentioned - been there done that

Mid you I will not apologize should I sweep!

K1AR also spoke of the obsession with Sweeps years ago in his 
column...and if you go far enoguh back to the 50's you will find an 
article by W1YYM about the relative value of sweeping versus QSOs... 
todays' software makes those decisions easy...

I guess part of what I was trying to say is that if you are coming the 
bands for QSOs work any new guys - don;t become obsessed with the 
Sweep...it may not even be attainable, there have been years when doing 
such was possible!

Maximize your points in the contest....don't maximize your depression 
over NOT Sweeping - imagine how you will feel if it turns out nobody was 
on from "Nebraska" (just picking one)

GL to everyone this weekend...SS is a FUN contest as well as time to say 
hi to many olde friends you may have contested with for over 30 years 
(like itis for me!)

Nat,

With all due consideration, you need to worry less about a sweep and
more about getting a call which doesn't cause us to do a mental
double-clutch when you call us in the middle of a hot run!  What the
hell were you thinking, anyhow?

Does the FCC even monitor the ham bands any more?  I haven't
heard of anybody getting a pink slip for years.  Years ago,
before I got the Extra, I got a pink slip for operating CW on
7.024.75.  Just barely into the Extra band.  Now I hear guys
operating on 14.349 and I can copy them way out of the band.

Funny, the good operators never miss a beat when I call them during

Hi Dale

Sure, and maybe we could get everyone doing that and then we
could just exchange our information on the cluster.  That way the
non-conesters wouldn't get all bent because there is a contest
going.  Heck, we wouldn't even have to turn on the radio.  Just
think, I could put my info on the cluster and everyone who got it
could put their info on the cluster and viola, new mults, lots of
Q's.  Log checking software wouldn't know the difference as long
as we coordinate times, band, etc.  Boy, I can see where packet
spotting is just going to get better and better!!  I may even
have to try it some day.

Have a problem 1 day before sweepstakes.  All of a
sudden the logging computer in the shack has started
losing time very quickly.  Like getting 5 minutes
behind every hour.  This is not good for the NA
logging.  Haven't opened up the computer yet, but does
this sound like a problem with the lithum battery? 
the computer has been plugged in and running the
entire time this has been happening.  Any help would
be appreciated.

Creating an Eastern Oregon section would probably be the best thing that
ever happened to clean up VY1JA's mailbox in the weeks before SS.

Looks to me like there are far more hams in the Yukon than there are east of
Bend.

Seriously though, it does seem absurd that Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois have
never been split.  As a Wisconsin native living in Tennessee I can guarantee
you travelling the length of Illinois is not a fast and easy trip.

If you want to see a detailed analysis of SS have a look at Appendix 1 of "A
Novel Perspective of Amateur Radio Contesting" at

You will have to read the rest of the article in order to understand the SS

John,

What operating system?

If its WinXP I may have the answer.  Under WinXP, if you're running a 
popular DOS-based logging program it appears that the clock runs slow if 
the CW keying is enabled.  Disable the keying, the clock runs keeps 
accurate time.

While this problem was reported running NA, I suspect that both CT and TR 
would be similarly affected.  While not wasting your time getting into the 
gory details of timer ticks and such, the problem appears to be related to 
how Microsoft emulated the DOS environment under WinXP.

If you're not running WinXP you can ignore this message.  If you are, you 
have two choices: turn off CW keying and run an external keyer, or simply 
reset the time every hour.

I *assume* this was made in jest as NLI stands for New York
(City) and Long Island.  Nevertheless, if we need more
sections :-) why not make NLI be North Long Island, and
create SLI for South Long Island and NYC for the five
boroughs of that city.  Even better would be BR for
Brooklyn, SI for Staten Island, BX for the Bronx, QU (or
QUE) for Queens (hopefully not too confusing vie a vie PQ
for Province of Quebec [which used to be QU]) and MAN for
Manhattan (which *is* the City to those who live in the
other four boroughs, Long Island, and the rest of the [lower
portions of] New York State).

Then we can carry it out to its logical conclusion:  East
and West Oregon, North and South Nevada, East and West North
Dakota and South Dakota, ad infinitum.  We could have maybe
200~300 sections!  That would make a clean sweep a real
achievement!

John,

I found that DOS programs work really well with an XP machine only when you
split the hard drive with one of the programs for that purpose, like
"PartitionMagic" and "BootMagic" that comes with it.  I used my old DOS from
Windows 95.

TR LOVES it and because I stored all of the data on a third "drive" which
PartitionMagic made, I can access all of the contest data from XP.  XP does
not see the DOS drive and DOS does not see the XP drive, but both see the
third "data" drive.

Clock works fine.

Ah, because the "N" in "NLI" doesn't stand for "North,"  since the full name
of the section is New York City - Long Island, and NLI is shorter than
NYCLI?

Now the real question I want to know is, what section is the island of
Moosylvania in this year?  Assuming it hasn't sunk again.

I'm still waiting for the sothern half of Long Island to get a section - why
only Northern LI? Seems like a silly way to divide it up anyway...

Good News:
The Omni-V is working perfectly this morning.

Bad News:
Ol' Murph may just be having the rig hold out till the rate is high.  I did
not find the problem, but left the rig on all last night and it seems well
this morning.

When this contest is over, I hope that someone that is sharp with PLLs will
talk me through this Omni-V repair, via the internet.

Favorite spots:
Frequencies that end with 27, or 37, but that only works at the start of the
contest and once in a while during it.  How often can anyone find the exact
frequency they want clear in SS???

Great News:
Conditions are super here today, so I may be able to start on 10, but
remember that my MUF is lower than yours down south, so watch for me on 15
if 10 does not open here.  I am on 21027, listening to Jerry, K6III work EU,

You need to do more research. By counties, Long Island is separated into east 
and west. The Boroughs of NY are Kings, Queens, Richmond, New York, Bronx.

NAQP mult-ops do not have to abide by the "10 out of 12" rule.

SS multi-ops do indeed have to abide by the "24 out of 30" rule.  It seems 
silly to me to require multi-ops take off time.  As a representative on the 
CAC, I've suggested a rule change in this regard but there does not seem to 
be much support.

Jeepers, guys.

It was a joke.  I lived on LI for 30 years. I know what NLI stands for.
Besides, if "Northern LI" existed, and there wasn't any SLI and NYC what
would all the guys living there do for a section?

I didn't think it was all that subtle.  Y'all must not be thinking clearly,
what, with all the pre-SS jitters!  ;-)

(Yes that was another joke)

No, it's not the battery.

The battery only runs the CMOS real-time clock - this is
a device that runs all the time that maintains time when the PC is off.
(In the good ol' days of PCs, this device was not necessarily installed and
one needed to enter the time at boot up.  Remember that?) The time gets
read from this device once at boot-up, and is maintained by the OS
afterwards.  It's important to realize that the OS maintains this time, NOT
the CMOS device.  The CMOS device only gets talked to again when you
reboot or you enter a time change.  A good test (to
prove me right or wrong) would be to turn the machine off (after it's been
running a while - say an hour - with a noticeable - you say 5 mins - time
error) then turn it back on.  If the time is still in error, then I'm all
wet.
But if it operates as I suspect, the time will be correct; then it is clear
that something ELSE is the trouble.

So with that out of the way, are you running NA in a DOS window behind
Windows?  There's probably some Windows application running that screws
up the clock.  Maybe something recently installed (even without your
knowing...)
Check the task manager, system tray, etc. for stuff running.

Another good reason to NOT run in a window...

That would be an interesting experiment, Dave, to see if
the extra 6 hours would push any of the multi-ops scores

Hi,

Can anyone explain why the M/Os always seem to lag?

Let's for the sake of argument eliminate the "Let's Elmer the newbies"
efforts and look at Top 10 in the class. Surely in Top 10 there are serious
efforts like the WP2Z SS Phone team last year. Why does M/O not work?

Is it a distraction thing? Too many cooks? Is it a duplicate contact thing?
(I'm thinking that perhaps dupe screening takes longer since in single op
you've worked everyone and can more easily recognize a call that's been
worked before.) Is there, perhaps like in U, too much time spent chasing
mults instead of living by K0HB's maxim "mults happen?"

I'm interested in this mainly as research for my QST article on SS Phone
results.

Thanks, and 73,
kelly

Message-ID: <F165rY6FDsQO8qPLlxw000016c4@hotmail.com>

I was curious as to what the numbers were, so I went to QRZ.com and looked 
at the ham population by state.  These were the numbers I got supposedly 
accurate up to 02 Nov for the top ten states:

1  CA  93853
2  TX  39385
3  FL  37162
4  NY  29862
5  OH  28179
6  PA  22845
7  WA  22779
8  IL  21344
9  MI  19916
10 NC  17409

And this is a list of the number of sections in each state:

1  CA  9
2  TX  3
3  FL  3
4  NY  4
5  OH  1
6  PA  2
7  WA  2
8  IL  1
9  MI  1
10 NC  1

Why does MA have 2 sections when it has a total of 13516 hams there?  Ohio 
has over twice the number of hams, but only has one section?  I am quite 
confused here.  Am I wrong in thinking that a section is based on the number 
of hams in it?  Or is it by the number of ARRL members in the state?  Seems 
to me that OH, IL, and MI should be broken down into 2 sections each - the 
number of hams are there to justify it.

Which leads me to the following question... How does one go about getting 
the ARRL to create new sections?  What is the proceedure that you have to go 
thru to get the ball rolling?  Or would it be a waste of time and energy?

The NYC Borough names given by K5RC are actually the county names.  The
county names are only important as regards court system administration and
for the entry on your tax return (and for county hunters).  Here is the
translation between Borough names and County names (both are official):

Borough of Manhattan:            New York County
Borough of the Bronx:             Bronx County
Borough of Brooklyn:              Kings County
Borough of Queens:                 Queens County
Borough of Staten Island:        Richmond County

The former Borough of Richmond (located geographically on Staten Island) was
renamed the Borough of Staten Island in 1975.  It has always been Richmond
County as well, at least since well before NYC Unification in 1898.  To find
a Borough of Richmond, you must go to London.

The Bronx is named for Jonas Bronck, a Swedish seafarer by way of the
Netherlands, who settled in the Bronx in 1639.  There was a "Bronck's River"
well before a name was needed for the entire area; the use of "the" is a
remnant of the connection with the name of the river.  The Bronx is ALWAYS
referred to with "the".

The ARRL Section "NLI" consists of seven counties: New York City, plus
Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island.  Long Island is 118 miles long;
the furthest point, Montauk Point, is almost directly south of the
Connecticut-Rhode Island border.  Many residents of the eastern part of
Suffolk County have been agitating for years to secede from Suffolk County
and form a new county, which would probably be called Peconic County and
would be the 63rd county in New York State.

Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties, plus Queens and Brooklyn) is
NA-026 for the IOTA program.  Manhattan and Staten Islands do not meet the
IOTA qualifications for "islands".  The Bronx is geographically part of the
mainland.

No, I have no problem with that.

Clear Day
Nov. 2, 2002


It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Dan Robbins - KL7Y. On 
Oct. 31, 2002 Dan was in a motorcyle accident on the Big Island of Hawaii - and 
did not survive his injuries.

Dan has always been like a part of my famliy - we lived close to each other, 
and would help each other often. I am still in shock, as well as many other 
friends are over this.

Dan was just finished with the CQWW contest at KH7R, I am sure many of you had 
worked him during that time. He was in a place that he loved, doing what he 
loved, and had the pleasure to visit with many of his friends at the contest 
station. I am sure they are all gratefull of that time together.

We will all miss that familiar voice, and fist of KL7Y, his sense of humor, and 
his knowledge. We have spent so much time working on towers together, repairing 
amp's,  cutting phasing lines, enjoying famliy cookouts, and holidays. I don't 
think I will ever find a better friend.

I know we all have fond memories of Dan, so he will live on in our minds and 
hearts.

I spent many days being his ground man while he did tower work, looking up for 
hours to assist him. Dan, I am still looking up.....

73 for now old friend,

There are a finite number of individuals that could be considered
"icons" of radiosport and without exaggeration or embezzlement, KL7Y was
one of them.

I remember the first time I worked Dan, many years ago during a DX
contest. I remember thinking to myself, "Hmm, KL7-*Yankee*, he must
really be an OM to have a call like that." Since then, I have been able
to work him everytime I heard him on. While we worked many times over
the years, one QSO sticks out. The summer before this past I was making
skeds to finish up my 5BWAS award and in response to my e-mail request,
Dan, who did not even know me personally, agreed to a QSO on 80m. Our
sked was in August (a tough month for the low bands in AK given the
limited darkness) at well after midnight AK time, and according to Dan,
he stayed up late just for our QSO. The QSO was not easy, but we made it
anyway and Dan was even kind enough to stick around a few extra minutes
to work my Dad, N3FX.

Not long afterwards, the QSL card for the contact arrived in the mail. I
received many of Dan's QSLs over the years, yet every time I was
continually in awe of their uncanny beauty: each depicted a picturesque,
snow-laden slice of the hilly, serene Alaskan wilderness with "KL7Y"
boldly printed in the corner. I never sent KL7Y a QSL card in which he
did not respond punctually. Despite the fact that has was probably
inundated with QSLs from his many operations (many of them
multi-something), he always sent one upon request, and there are few
greater signs of altruism in contesting than a major station who QSLs
100% with all deliberate speed. His QSL ethics were of the rare variety
these days; I could name several stations subscribed to this reflector
whose ethics lag in comparison.

The news of his death came suddenly, I read about it only a few days ago
on the PVRC reflector, but his impact on ham radio and contesting will
not soon be forgotten. Although his key may now be silent, his signal is
not, and I consider myself privileged to have known and worked him.
Although that familiar "Kilo Lima Seven Yankee" will no longer enter the
Heil headset and illuminate the s-meter when I point the beam up towards
Alaska, I know he'll always be there. To Dan's family, I send my
condolences for your loss and my wishes of strength for the future, and
to Dan, thanks so much for the QSOs and for your kindness and I'll catch
up with you on 3830 when the contest of my life reaches 2400z as well.

I thought NYC was created in 1899.  Otherwise, no issues.  I
was born and raised in NYC (Queens) but left in 1975.

There's lots of people wanting to secede.  Folks in western
Kansas want to be part of Colorado; NYC wants to be a state
unto itself so its taxes will stay in the city and not go to
Albany; Staten Island wants to be part of NJ.  Connecticut
claimed part of Pennsylvania until the early 1800's!

Oh, well.

I will always remember Halloween 2002.

My father, KL7FH, called me on the phone and told me the bad news.  At first
I was in shock, and then I was in denial.  After that, I was extremely
sad... and then denial kicked in again.

KL7Y was my contesting Elmer.  I don't think I would have gotten into
contesting so much if it wasn't for him.  He invited me up to his fantastic
station for a CQWW CW M/M when I was 13.  I didn't really know what to
expect, but I had fun, and I was hooked.  I was there for almost every
multi-op afterwards, and even a single op or two.  I can remember sitting up
in the middle of the night with Dan milking 20 meters and the low bands, and
waiting for 10 to open up over the pole.  Now that I think back... those
were "the good old days."  I didn't know Dan as long as some of the other
regulars like WL7E, or KL2A (ex NL7GP), but it feels like I knew him longer
than 7 or 8 years.

Dan was absolutely one of the nicest people on the planet.  He was extremely
generous with his station, and with his expertise.  A contest at KL7Y was
never bad, no matter how bad the conditions were.  It was great to sit down
and pick his brain about things.  "Where do I point the antenna now?"  "Is
it better to concentrate on DX now, or should I run states?"  It may not
seem like much, but it meant a lot to a youngster full of enthusiasm.  Dan
was always right there, showing me what to do, and giving me tips on how to
do better.  I feel like I was always asking him questions, and asking his
opinion.  When we weren't operating, I was listening to his great stories of
contests past.  Anyone who has met Dan knows what I am talking about.

He was a joy to operate with, and a great person to just hang out with.  A
great leader at the Multi-ops, who welcomed everyone.  I really can't put
words to how much we all miss Dan already.  He loved contesting, and his
enthusiasm rubbed off on everyone who was around him.  Not hearing the KL7Y
station on for SS this weekend was very sad.  Hopefully I can muster up the
motivation to do CQWW CW.... things will just never be the same.

I will always remember Dan and the great times I had with him.
Halloween 2002 was the end of an era.

I've heard that California has wanted to secede.  Having spent some time
in Los Angeles, I can't figure out if it's another country or another
planet.  Cruise down Hollywood Boulevard on a Saturday evening some time
...

BTW, East Central Illinois is probably the only place where you can visit
Jamaica, Kansas and Paris all in the same hour.

To all:

I was very pleased to see well over 400 QSOs get through.  The rig was
acting up... cutting in and out, and shifting frequencies, I was sick as a
dog, we had an earthquake in KL7 which shook our house quite a bit, (I am
subject to motion sickness!) and to top it off a loader operator came by on
Sunday??? afternoon to level our yard and I had to be with him.

An unusual number of people did not listen to the pileup and asked me to
stop and give them the QSO number, Check or Section and hold up the pileup
instead of them just listening.

I feel that they should get it from the next exchange, or better yet, have
the information typed into their logger by listening to the previous QSO and
just have the number ready in case I call them.

This SS was a very maddening experience and many of you almost lost out to
frustration.  I was ready to give the Omni-V the 18 wheeler instruction set.
If all of the wheels that are in a row on the left side roll over the rig,
it is sure to remember how it made me feel.  One of these days...  (Chen,
don't worry, I'd send it back to you instead)

Many station ops did not listen to my requests.  I stood by for QRP, usually
near the half past window and had M, U, A, and B give me calls, and it was
amazing how many people who hear my request for 8A? understand it to be
their call which has neither an 8 nor an A in it.

Some of the callers have, over the years, become my good friends.  It puts
me in a dilemma when I have to embarrass you in front of the whole pileup.
I do not know how to handle these things without causing someone upset.  I
have an enormous amount of gratitude for what everyone has done for me, and
still must manage the pileups.

I am normally much more patient, but with the illness, and the rest of the
things I was fighting, it was very difficult for me.

For those I was rude to, I apologize, for those that I helped, you are
welcome.

******************

Dan was vacationing in Hawaii. He loved to come here, participate in a
contest from KH7R (in shorts and no shirt - no less, something he certainly
couldn't do at home) and spend some time on the other beautiful islands.
This time was no exception. After a great effort at KH7R, contesting stories
in the off hours and several meals off the "barbee", Dan traveled to the Big
Island of Hawaii to visit others and relax. As he worked for Raytheon, he
decided to visit one of their sites located there. He told his boss on the
phone that he was going to rent a motorcycle and see the crew.  Apparently,
he was on the way back over the winding S-curves of the upper highway
between Waimea and Kona. I presume Dan may have been traveling in the clouds
or possibly patches of rain at those heights. I can only conclude that
unfamiliarity with the equipment, road and conditions added up to a
disastrous combination. He was not wearing a helmet.

We who knew him and enjoyed this last opportunity to radio contest with him
are still in shock. Surely it couldn't happen to him! Dan was always the
friendly and helpful guy. With great knowledge of running a Multi-Multi
effort from his own station in relatively rare Zone 1. We all benefited from
his presence and contributions. I had the opportunity to visit him and stay
at his house / station on a hill in Wasilla, Alaska. His station showed the
typical simplicity and ingenuity that amateur's show when "home-brewing" a
large
station without spending a fortune. I loved his concept of mowing the tall
grass around his towers...flatten them with his pickup when he turns around.
Hey, it worked. From his inverted Rubbermaid tub to cover some switching
arrangements to his old mobile van outside the house (the one with more
growing in it than in his driveway), Dan's cedar home 'spoke'  ALASKA the
last frontier of our country.

With his white hair and mustache he always looked the part of his well-loved
demeanor, the friendly and kind gentleman. I am sure that the many people
who knew him, had the opportunity to work him and operate with him will
agree. Though I never envied him working on his towers (brrrrr - cold)
compared to the weather at KH7R, I wish I had been able to spend more time
getting to know him better in his element.

Dan, whatever station you're going to operate from up there...I hope it has
the beauty of the Northern Lights, the balmy weather of Hawaii, the
propagation of the Caribbean or HC8 (that we both long for) and all the
'rate' you can handle. We will all miss you for you left us far too soon.
Don't forget to talk to us on 80 and 160 when it seems only KL7Y and KH7R
are on in the Pacific in the middle of the night (we need to keep each other
awake). Safe journey.

Aloha, 73  Kimo Chun, KH7U (one of the gang at KH7R)

**********

My very long time best friend, Dan KL7Y

     I have spoken with Dan's family and asked permission to post the
following information. I have offered to handle any email condolences
regarding Dan KL7Y. I will take them with me to Illinois for the funeral to
give them to his family and long time girl friend. The information is listed
at the bottom. Please pass this to the different reflectors Dan may have
been on.
     I had the very great honor and privilege of knowing and contesting with
Dan from 1979 until his last contest at the KH7R station last week. I recall
looking over at Dan on the 20m station during our last contest together
while he was working EU late at night. He gave me the 'thumbs up' as he
always did from his home station every time. He was having fun. When he left
the KH7R station headed for Kona I told him 'see you next month.' To my
great sorrow this will be my last trip to see my friend Dan.
     This is a great loss to the contesting community, ham radio, and the
lives of many. To those of you who have expressed condolences and inquired
about the services, I say thank you. There are no words that can describe
Dan. But I believe the post from John WA2GO sums Dan up eloquently and
concisely. John is one of the KL7Y contest group who also went to Hawaii for
Dan's last contest.

Yo,
A kinder, more generous gentleman you will not find anywhere. Dan was
Alaska's amateur radio ambassador to the world, was a great elmer, a great
technician, a first class operator, and a touchingly benevolent person. He
happily shared his station and his skills with anyone who wished to be
blessed with his company. He had no secrets, no skeletons, no "bad" side. I
loved that guy, and I will miss him for the rest of my life. He will live on
as an inspiration to anyone who knew him.

73 Danno,

John
WA2GO

Dan was a levi and tshirt kind of guy. The family will be burying him in his
favorite attire. Anyone who can attend the services please know that casual
attire is appropriate.

I was on an Air Force trip to Anchorage in 1993 and called Dan about the 
possibility of joining him for CWSS.  He was delighted to have me join Jon 
NL7GP (now KL2A) and him for the contest.

When I arrived at his place, he and Jon had just finished the tower work, 
performed in subzero weather.  I found Dan to be a unique individual -- a 
tough and determined competitor, but also a warm and gregarious person.

I was overwhelmed by his generosity as he opened his station to this complete 
stranger.  Alaska nights provide long hours with little to do when conditions 
are bad.  
Dan filled the hours with laughter and war stories about his contesting 
experience.

Dan's station reflected his commitment to the hobby.  I hope that somehow 
there will be someone to fill the huge pair of shoes that Dan leaves behind.  
He is a true contesting legend and an exemplary contesting mentor.

Thank you, Dan, we will all miss you.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] An SS Solution  de VY1JA
Message-ID: <002401c2840e$ee61a360$e4096cd8@jallen>

I agree with Pete, N4ZR, and think that no one was being malicious, but just
aggressive because of an overly large desire to get that mug.

What I do not understand is how THAT contest turns some of my good friends
into Mr.Hyde's.  SS is the only one that does it.

Say, perhaps the idea of increasing the sections will do it.  If each
section has the same population as Yukon, 30,000... 300,000,000 divided by
30,000... that would make it about 10,000 sections... That is the answer!  I
hope ARRL is reading cq-contest, just imagine how much paperwork it will
save not having to order mugs.

Please remember in the phone SS contest to treat VY1MB well, as I do not
want him discouraged... He has become a reliable source to draw on for YT
multipliers.

To all of the contesting community, thanks for your friendship.

J.

Only if there aren't enough beverages to around!
You definitely should stock enough beverages so sharing isn't necessary. 
Especially the Coors!

J., I suggest you encourage him to go split, and announce it every 
QSO.  "Up 5" only takes a tenth of a second, and nobody will begrudge him 
the spectrum space.

You should get a coffee urn for working 30000 sections.  Along that line I 
always thought a great contest would be on in which you worked zip codes for 
multipliers. Final score is zips time qsos.  What say?

I've been working with a local fella on getting into "contesting."
Everybody needs an elmer, so it seems.  After much encouragement and proding
on my part, he gave it a go on CW during SS.  Below you will find his
comments.  I've scrubbed his name to eliminate any embarassment.  Comments?

WHOA!  Bad precedent.

Should each operator who considers their section "rare" be allowed to
consume at least twice as much spectrum as everyone else?  How about
KL7__, WB0O, W0SD, VO1__, VE4__, K2NNY, etc?

And, in Houston, TX, you can drive from downtown on Westheimer Road and make

Just be careful of who is on the frequency you're listening on if you go
split. There was an interesting situation Saturday evening in the CW SS
when the 3XY7 DXpedition showed up working split on 40 CW.  He
developed quite a pileup so I guess there were a lot of DXers not
participating in the contest, or some contesters decided to take a little
break and work a new one. 

I listened for a bit; there were stations working the contest on his
listening frequency who tried to work the stations calling the DX.
It was "interesting".

Sounds like fun.

To be sure the east coast retains their usual contest advantages (not my
view, but the view expressed by others in other threads), let's make the
final score the sum of zip codes worked.

Hi Bill,

Now, that sounds like fun.  Just as long as no one "goes postal".  :-)

I wonder whatever happened to the Frostbite Falls Beach Party, which took 
place in the winter? The exchange was the outside temperature and entered
into the scoring.

My QRSs got ignored too. Gave up on that after about 5 times.
No one had to tell me to leave though. I was already gone.

What's with the 30++ wpm code? Does it really help rate?

My key stays out of the box.
I'll learn this hs stuff or go deaf trying!

Comments?

By and large all of us will QRS to help a newbie get a contact, but in
all honesty we may not slow down as much as we think.  In most contests,
especially during 'peak' hours, I run my CW at 32WPM.  I temper that a
little in SS, generally running at 28WPM.  When I get a slooowwww call
from KG6XXX I'll drop down to 20WPM.  To me that speed is glacially slow
and I can just feel my queue of waiting callers evaporate, but in
reality it's STILL possibly 400% too fast for KG6XXX.

Radiosport contesting is a COMPETITION just like golf tournaments,
football games, and NASCAR races.  If you want to play in the Masters
with Tiger Woods, the Super Bowl with Joe Montana, or race Mark Martin
in the Winston 400, you will probably first need to gain some basic
skills in a less competitive environment.  If you don't, someone might
slow down and tell you to "go awy".

Sorry your friend was offended, but perhaps we shouldn't drag people to
the big dance until they've been 'elmered' in a quieter venue.

Unsportsmanlike?  Unspeakable is a better word.  W4KFC usually worked the SS
(at least the last day) at about 20 WPM.  "Go awy" is limiting the number of
contacts that can be made by not slowing down.  Who knows the station that
goes away might be South Dakota, Mississippi, or VY0.  There is NO ROOM in
contesting for the rude operators.  Why don't these guys go to 2 meters and
interfere with repeaters or something?

This guy has got to be a crackpot!!!

Considering how qso's become hard to find on the second day of SS,  I can't
imagine anyone telling him to go away UNLESS he sent his call over and over
and over.  Then I send the report and he again sends call over and over and
I QRS and give entire report and he gives his call over and over and over
and I slow down even more and give the whole report (slow so that it means
I've taken a couple of minutes just to send one report) and he still acts
like he can't figure out his name.  THEN I'd tell him to go away!  I didn't
work anyone like this,  but there has to be more to his story!

Were we were all born sending 45 wpm with a silver key in our fists?  I think 
not!

Just consider - if a 10 wpm QSO takes six times as long as usual to complete, 
it might displace 20 or 30 of those marvelously productive "CQ SS" we all sent 
about, oh, three thousand times on Sunday with no response whatsoever.  On the 
other hand, the potential for THOUSANDS of CW contacts has now been effectively 
removed from the contest community.

Yes, I fidgeted through a dozen or so really S-L-O-W contacts, but I didn't 
lose my frequency.  One was a needed multiplier from the Midwest.  On two, 
somebody sent "?" over the QSO, but I was able to send "AS" right back at 35 
wpm and never missed a beat.  I would have loved to have more slow folks call 
in on Sunday when the bands were full of CQ machines (mine included).

Please - choke down the adrenaline just a tad and get some perspective on what 
it must be like to try to enter our sacred CW lovefests.  You, too, were once 
slow and poked along at 13.001 wpm.  But it didn't kill the Gods of Contesting 
to slow down for your one measly QSO filled with errors and repeats.

There is nearly always room in the contest for the new, the old, the casual.  
It's not the Olympics.

A certain level of proficiency is required even to get your feet wet,
apparently he has not yet reached that. Perhaps it would be better to assist
him in improving his CW skills first.

I've operated the CW SS for several years from N5XU multi-ops, and it's
about the only CW contest operating I do all year, aside from occasional 
CW QSOs in the VHF contests or hunting states in the ARRL 160.  I can 
go pretty comfortably at 17WPM now, but beyond that I get into trouble.

My experience is that trying to S&P is a complete waste of time.  The 
exchange is so long that the amount of time necessary to try to copy
enough bits and pieces to make the whole thing and have any hope of 
getting the serial number right is too much.  So, I always climb way up 
to the top of the band and call CQ at 15WPM or 16WPM.

My experience calling CQ at 15 or 16 WPM in the CW Sweepstakes is that 
almost nobody will slow down to meet my speed.  Usually, I'm facing CW going
at over 20WPM, and at best someone will come down to 18WPM or so.  This 
year, I made very few QSOs because I had too much else going on over the 
weekend, but I had one station call me at well over 30WPM.  I called CQ again.
Again, he sends his call at well over 30WPM.  We did this THREE TIMES before 
he gave up.  I had but one station answer my CQ at my own speed, and it was
the one station I didn't need to ask for a fill on the exchange.

I've done this for several years now, made several hundred QSOs in total, 
enough to know that this year is no fluke.  CW contesters in the Sweepstakes 
will generally speaking not QRS, and when they do, they will not QRS all 
the way down to match your speed if you're going under 20WPM.  They will not 
do this even if you are the one calling CQ and setting the expected speed.  
They will not do this even if you are the one calling CQ and you explicitly 
asked them to QRS.

Other contests may be less like this.  The ARRL 160 Contest, for example, 
I think is quite different.  But CW SS is not a good contest for a QRS CW 
operator - it is quite hostile.

I know what you mean, Don.

I tend to send at around 29-31 unless asked to slow down (happened once this
weekend) or I feel the station calling me at a slower speed needs the slower
speed.

I ran a little test here using this exchange at different speeds:

K5RC 733 Q KG5U 59 STX

15wpm = 18s
20wpm = 14s
25wpm = 12s
30wpm = 10s
35wpm = 8s

While there's not much time difference between sending the exchange at 30
and 25 wpm's, it sure does seem like 25wpm takes forever by listening
comparison.

If I sent every exchange at 25 wpm rather than 30 wpm, that 2 second
difference would really add up over the number of QSO's made during the
contest: 2 * 773 = 1546 seconds = 25.8 minutes.

If a station averages a QSO rate of 60 QSO's an hour (one a minute) during
the contest (not me!), that's 26 QSO's.

There have been placques awarded and top-ten box appearances missed based on
smaller QSO differences than that.

All one needs to do is ask me to QRS and I will.

Maybe that was the Gent's problem - his key is "in the box" way too often... 
Can't expect to drop a rookie in the Indy 500 & do well, without many, many 
practice laps to get them up to speed.
Same thing in this instance. Sorry if he felt that way...
I'm not even sure if I can QRS to "low-code" anymore. By the time I sent to

So, how do you add up the zip codes?

:)

In all seriousness, there WAS an actual ZIP CODE CONTEST when I was first
prowling the pages of QST for operating events in the early 70s.  I operated
it.  I probably have a certificate around here somewhere.  I don't recall
how it was scored.

Wish I knew who this pea-brain was that said "go awy"!  I had the "alt-v" on 
NA set for 22wpm, instead of usual 32. I had several guys call in very slow,  
& made use of the alt-v for them. I know they were tickled to make a Q, & I 
was very happy for them to call!  Takes all kind ,I guess. Just shooting 
ourselves in the foot!

I'm sorry there are a few jerks out there, but really don't think that was 
representative.  I didn't hear anything like that, and heard a number of 
big dogs slowed down to 13 WPM.  I also didn't have a single station ask me 
to QRS, though a few obviously had trouble copying till I slowed 'way 
down.  I was glad to.

My best advice for a new guy would be to wait till Sunday afternoon, when 
everyone has slowed down, and people are fishing on the high end of the 
bands.  It's much more rewarding and less intimidating than the first few 
hours.  The designated slow zones high in the bands also aren't so crowded 
as on Saturday night, when the mob spreads far up the band.

Whoever did that is an embarrassment to our sport.  Shame.

I suppose it's possible Ford's new CW-op apprentice who apparently just took
his key out of the box because he said "I stuck my key back in the box",
might not have copied the code well enough, and may not have been told "go
awy."

But my wife says I am an eternal optimist.

That's unfortunate...

However, it's hard to use a large CW contest like SS to start learning 
Morse code at speed.

That said, he should have done a few things:
1) Go very high in the band and answer slow stations or call CQ at your 
own rate.
2) Send at a rate no faster than what you expect the other station to send 
back to you.  The station you are calling should slow down to match your 
speed (to a large extent) if they answer you. 
3) If that doesnt work for you, dont bother copying the exchange (and dont 
submit a log).  Get the callsign before you call, try to copy what you can 
and then send your exchange back promptly  when it's time.  (Of course, 
this wont help SMC if that's the goal ;} )

If all else fails, wait til Sunday afternoon during the football games and 
almost anyone will slow down to work a new Q!

I've been working with a local fella on getting into "contesting."
Everybody needs an elmer, so it seems.  After much encouragement and 
proding
on my part, he gave it a go on CW during SS.  Below you will find his
comments.  I've scrubbed his name to eliminate any embarassment. Comments?

FWIW, I've been conscious of this code-speed thing for years.  I was 
surprised that most folks were at 32 or below, even on Saturday night.  I 
spent Saturday at a base speed of 29, and Sunday mostly at 26.  QRSed a lot 
without being asked, which is a good thing, because I never was asked, even 
though some guys couldn't copy at my base speed.

Thats how you improve- by working the contest! I'm no speed demon and simply
didnt work guys who wouldnt slow down- Happily, I found most did- and noting the
calls, they are the higher scorers- In 2 instances, the running station I called
slowed down to below 5 WPM to make a point- He lost my Q and wasted time-
Now, I'm good to around 30WPM,  but some of the stations were running crazy
speeds- and ironically, they were NOT the normal high scorers.
Dont blame the victim here- either slow down to the callers pace or lose the Q.
FWIW-

Evidently you had reached a level of proficiency that made that possible.
Just having ordinary (non contest) QSOs is another method of increasing CW
profiency. How about a guy who is just at the stage of learning the alphabet
in terms of dits and dahs, by your arguement he too should be using contests
to improve.

I think just about everyone would slow down for someone if they asked, 
especially Sunday afternoon.  But I wonder, how many would slow down to 5 
WPM?  Remember, that is the code speeed of the newbies...even newbie extras.

The exchange of KG4XYZ Nr 1234 B K4XS 62 WCF would take about 50 seconds and 
the return exchange would take another 50 seconds to receive....almost two 
minutes, if no repeats were required.  Honestly, how many of the big guns 
would do that in the first hour of the contest when they are running a 100 
hour?  Whatdya think?

While I know that newbies can be overwhelmed by
the 'speed merchants' on contests.. I have just
one observation to make..

I wonder if, in the future, that when we ELMER a
newbie (or an 'oldbie' that has been away from
the game for a while) into the contesting fold
that we have him/her either sit WITH us as we
operate so we can help themovercome such
occassionas as this new guy experienced OR we can
jump into hold their hand until they get thier
'Contest legs'.

Just a thought. I'm not saying what was done was
wrong, I wasn't there and I don't know the guy or
his situation.. but I, personally, have always
had a newbie/oldbie sit alongside me or some
other experienced hand to get their feet wet and
get over the jitters.

Just a thought.

Sort of like getting your feet wet on your first DXpedition by going to
Heard Island?

I'd really like to go on a DXpedition some day, but I think I'll get some
experience by going somewhere like Antigua, Bahamas or St. Kitts.  Perhaps
a new contester could get his code speed up by participating in smaller
contests.

Then again, it's attitude that counts ... if you really want to learn
something, you ignore the setbacks.

For SS Phone, how about working split transmitting just below the US phone
band on 10, 15 and 20 and listening up. Yeah, a little unorthodox, and the
pileup won't be that big because not many will find you there, but that's

Interesting chart Dale.

I tend to slow down quite a bit if the station calling has a long
unrecognized call or if they are sending slowly. That is sometimes, but not
always. Nobody asked me to QRS.  Some of those 30 and 40 check guys using
chirpy breadboard rigs and bugs can't send past 20 words a minute, but they
can copy upwards of 50 I'd venture to say. As Jay eluded to, in S&P mode in
every contest but the Sprint, you can listen prior to as well as after
making a "contact" to see if you got the right info. That may not be the way
it's supposed to be done, but we've all done it on occasion. That's why the
sprints are the true test of operating ability, there's no sandbagging, but
the reason I like SS is that it has everything.

*You get the rate of Saturday (great fun)
*You have the intrigue of wondering whether to run or search for mults early
on
*It has a fixed number of mults equalizing the battle field somewhat
*It tests your perseverence on Sunday
*It allows anyone from anywhere who enters the game late to taste the frenzy
of a mondo pileup without going on a DXpedition. (We should market this
'fresh meat' appeal of sweepstakes by taking out Sunday tv adverts to be run
during halftimes of the ballgames--does anybody on here work for the brewing
industry?).
*and about a buzillion other aspects of ss


It always seems uncanny how fast the code sounds after QRSing down to around
20wpm and then ramping back up to 30+wpm. Likewise, going from 36 wpm (after
milking a ten deep pile dry) and dropping down to 30 wpm makes the 30wpm
seem like trying to run in a swimming pool--it's sloooowww. I guess that's
why N0AX in his email of last week suggested that newcomers code speeds
would double if they'd only get on and operate.


snip--------------------------
I ran a little test here using this exchange at different speeds:

K5RC 733 Q KG5U 59 STX

15wpm = 18s
20wpm = 14s
25wpm = 12s
30wpm = 10s
35wpm = 8s

Message-ID: <4.2.0.58.20021104164951.009ce710@mail.comcast.net>

One factor which I believe played a part in the frenzy over NWT and NL 
during SS CW this past weekend was due to the bad radio conditions which 
were forecast for Sunday.  VY1JA himself said (paraphrased) "If you hear me 
Saturday work me" which was a legitimate concern but may have fueled the fire.

I know at our K8CC multi the bad Sunday forecast made us eager to work any 
of the less than common VE sections.  The specter of disturbed condx seemed 
all too possible when the first few VE6s and VE7s we worked were not loud 
at all and spots for VE4s and VE5s were barely audible here.  Nonetheless, 
VE1OP had a good signal and was easily worked early on 21 MHz, and both 
VY1JA and KL7XX had decent signals when worked the first night on 28 MHz.

Its always interesting to note which section multipliers turn out to be the 
hardest to get.  K5ZD and others missed NL, while we had three call 
us.  Too bad we can't set aside the spares for another contest :-)

Hi Ford,

I hope you pass these and other's comments on to your friend.

It is indeed regrettable that this experience occured. If someone did tell
him to "go awy" that person deserves a huge raspberry for behaviour not only
unbecoming a contester but also unbecoming any member of the human race.

That said, there's never just one side to any situation. It deserves mention
that contesting is unlike any other facet of ham radio. It is to the casual
operator what The Masters is to a Sunday duffer. The people who play
contests do so to win. It's not your average Sunday afternoon gab fest.

That's not to excuse the rude, callous behaviour identified but it does
exhort the newbie to be sensitive to the realities at play. If an op is
running stations at 100/hr, he is going to pick out calls at 35 wpm faster
than calls at 10 wpm, so a newbie could be left waiting for the pileup to
calm down. This weekend, I had completed my report to one station before
another, slower op, had finished sending his call. I wasn't deliberately
snubbing the QRS op, it just happened that way.

Now, when we do work someone who requests a QRS we should, and I think in
large measure do. There are exceptions to every rule, a bad apple in every
bushel, etc. Be that as it may, I don't QRS unless asked or if I'm answering
a QRS CQ. Invariably, I'll answer a 15 wpm call at 28 and encounter no
resistance. So it's a bit of a gamble on my part that I won't have to send
it again, but 9 out of 10 it pays off. It at least pays off enough to make
up for the odd QSO where I do have to send again. It's also a gamble that
the person will tell me if he missed something, but I think that's a fairly
safe bet.

To Ford's friend: Please don't base your opinion on contesting on this
weekend alone. I do think the suggestions that perhaps you were in over your
head are fair. Work on your code speed (SuperMorse is a great CW trainer,
you can find downloads on the Web). Listen to other contests, even phone
contests, to get a feel for how contest QSOs operate. They are different.
Practise in smaller contests, like state QSO parties. Practise code by
operating casually. This will help develop not only speed but also the
biological QRM filter that is so vital to operating in today's bands.
Realize that QRM happens. We all deal with it and nobody is targetting you
with QRM. Try to align yourself with multiops who can Elmer you personally
during slower times.

It takes time, but it IS worth it. Unfortunately, playing SS as your first
contest is a bit like putting on roller skates for the first time and
expecting to keep up with the Roller Derby crowd. SS is a juggernaut that
moves at breakneck speed.

73, kelly

Yes.  They should do whatever they feel they need to in order to deal with
the pileup.

In many cases, this would be highly preferable to the nonsense that happens
during a high desperation pileup.

Your point is taken- But at the same time, by your argument, you can
forget the 20-30% of contest qso's that come from  guys who never send in
logs- they're there to participate- and they make up lots of q's! Let's at
least give em a shot-
And I dont think a guy who is barely learning dits and dahs is who we're
talking about - its the guys that are good to 15-20WPM but cant handle
40+- Be careful not to disclude these guys from the fun of playing the
game--

Message-ID: <20021105041840.12293.qmail@mail.dallastec.com>

Here's my experience learning "contest code".  I call it "contest code" 
because I know I can't keep up with 30wpm in conversational CW, but for the 
short bursts in contests, my brain can usually handle it.

My first experience with high speed contest style CW was on field day 
several years ago.  Two very proficient CW ops were running, one working the 
stations, the other logging and duping.  Filters wide open, no headphones.  
Sounded like a mess to me.  My meager 13 words per minute I had passed the 
week before seemed woefully inadequite. 

Even though I was very intimidated, I sat down and listened for a while, 
catching about 1 letter out of 10.  After a while I started to pick up on 
the rhythm of the QSO's and was recognizing patterns (like there was our 
callsign, followed by some number, then some letters). 

I was just getting up to leave, when the guy logging said he had to take a 
break and would I sit down and log.  I said there was no way, but the guy 
running the stations said he would call out what I needed to write down.  So 
off I went, pretending to hear what was being copied.  The op turned on the 
narrow filter, and suddenly I heard only 1 signal instead of 10.  Whoa, I 
could actually copy a little better now, maybe getting 1 character out of 5. 

This lasted for probably half an hour or so.  We had a great run frequency.  
I was starting to catch the first parts of callsigns (not too hard when you 
only have to listen for A,K,N,W), and the first part of exchanges.  I was 
impressed with myself.  Aparently so was the op, because he suddenly said he 
had to go to the restroom, pushed the key in front of me and turned down the 
keyer speed a little. 

WHOA!  There was someone else in the tent now, and he offered to log and 
help copy.  What was nice is that he made me work for it.  I was asking for 
fills, repeats, etc. at probably 20wpm.  I worked guys for probably an hour 
after that, progressivly getting better at my copy. 

The next week I went and passed my 20wpm, which I thought I'd never get! 

This past weekend I had writelog set at 28WPM, which is now fairly 
comfortable for my skills with "contest code". 

I guess what worked best for me was being thrown into the thick of things 
along with having some backup that made everything workable for both me and 
the calling stations. 

Hope these insights help, and hopefully your rookie CW contester won't give 
up.  Get a Y adapter for the headphone jack and work the next CW contest 
with this guy, one working the stations, one logging.  Then trade off! 

73 de Al, KE1FO

I don't believe the subject is "guys that are good to 15-20WPM". A guy at
that speed would be able to get on and make contacts and would likely
improve rapidly. I have to think the guy that this thread is about is not up
to that level.

------------------------------
One of the problems is the minimum speed that the program will allow
you to go. I think CT will maybe go as slow as 16 WPM, but others will
not.

I love cw, but I am also legally deaf...if you consider -82db
down...And it's not going to get any better.
This may have been my last SSCW.

I can still do 30-35 , but noticed this year it was a lot harder. Plus
the headphones were practically
vibrating at the audio I had cranked in.

And all the denials are a bunch of crap! This has and will continue to
be a problem now that the CW requirements have been practically
eliminated.

Maybe we can come up with a gentleman's agreement that at 60 kHz up
from the bottom, the speed limit is
lower! Say 20-25...

Perhaps if we recognize this as a problem, we can work on it.

I guess there are at least two way to do Seach and Pounce: 

1)  Go up and down the band: if a station is working someone, tune by and
find the next guy calling CQ and hope that the next time down the band the
guy you skipped is still there and not in a QSO again.

2) Go up and down the band; if you encounter someone in a QSO wait till
he's done and then call him.

I did some of #1 but mostly #2.  Might as well enter the data from his
current QSO while I'm waiting my turn.  I don't think that violates any
rules.

Mr. Elmer you get 90% of the blame for this problem Why didn't you start him
out on WAE and sending QTC's. Then not only would he give up CW contesting
but he would have probably had to change his shorts. I've been at this CW
contesting stuff a long time and the accepted rule of thumb,in the past, has
ALWAYS been whatever speed the guy is calling CQ at is the speed of the
contact. Every year, Every year, I run across K0RF calling CQ in excess if
35 WPM. I answer him at that speed, out of respect to him, we send each
other the exchange and I move on. Boys and girls you have 363 days a year to
learn CW, at a reasonable speed, and practice your CW operating technique.
Saturday and Sunday, of SSCW weekend,  is NOT time to learn how to send CW
or how to contest.

Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.2.20021105073401.00a85590@pop.dc2.adelphia.net>

I'm trying to figure out my SS CW performance this year, while everything 
is still fresh.

In that connection, it seems to me that, at least for those of us East of 
the Mississippi, it's really two contests -- before and after the big break 
in the wee hours of Sunday morning.  I think a good metric would be to 
relate the first off time to the number of QSOs at that point, and compare 
to the total.

I'd like to compile some data in this respect, and will share the result 
with the reflector.  If you'd like to help, please send me the following 
direct, and I'll massage the figures and post them:

1 -- when did you take your break (Z)?
2 -- how many QSOs did you have at that point?
3 -- when did you resume in the morning (Z)?
4 -- how many total QSOs did you have for the contest?

As an example, my responses are:

1 -- 0717
2 -- 606
3 -- 1150
4 -- 1117

Thanks in advance!

Message-ID: <ADEJKJINLBKGMNGALFCFGEIAEFAA.W2CS@bellsouth.net>

I think Jim might have a good point here.

My son's first SS was right after he was a newly annointed General class op.
His code speed was solid at 10, good enough at 13, and 15 was ok.  We did an
multiop on SS.  He listened to me doing the first several hours and then
took a turn.

What I had him do was park on a CQer's frequency and copy the exchange. I
didn't care how long he took.  He also had to copy the last QSO's number and
write it down, too, before he called the guy.  This was when we still used
keyers/paddles, so he then had to call the guy at whatever sending speed he
could muster. That started out around 18, I'd say.  Remember, his code speed
was a shaky 15 at the time.  But all he had to copy was enough of what was
being sent to know when it was his turn to send and also when/whether a fill
was needed.

By the time SS was over, his code speed on receive was at least 25 and
probably 30.  Sending was in the same ball park.  On most Qs he no longer
had to wait several iterations to get the exchange, either.  The last few
hours he even had some runs going. It did take him a while to grab the
courage for that first CQ SS!

The point of this narrative is that motivation, expectations, and coaching
from a mentor are all crucial to success.  He thought he couldn't keep up;
so I gave him a way he could make Qs without the pressure (pre-copying).
This was exquisite code practice, but I didn't "sell" it that way.  His
expectations, once he heard me operate, were appropriately low, so that was
never an issue.  As for motivation...Have you ever issued a challenge to a
13 year old boy? !!

And you know, I didn't even have to "throw away" that SS from award
possibilities.  We ended up taking the Division!  And he did a fair amount
of operating.

I believe it is entirely possible for someone with 15wpm talent to succeed
in coming close to doubling code speed in a single contest.  But, it
requires a mentor to help out, IMHO, and it requires motivation on the part
of the newbie.  I have often found that motivation and the mentor's approach
are closely related.

I am a bit skeptical regarding someone with only a "familiarity with the
code"  (aka 5WPM) to succeed as my son did starting at 13.  Though with
computers to do the sending, it might work to some extent. In that case I'd
use the same approach, but pick a smaller contest, as others have suggested.

Maybe if many of us went multi-op with newbies we would find more Qs to work
the next year.

One thing I always do after SS is to filter my log for all the QSO's with 
checks more recent than a couple of years and send them QSL card with the 
PSE QSL box not checked. Maybe it will help some newer hams join in the fun 
again next time. It can't hurt and is just a few $'s very well spent, I think.

This idea was not mine originally, I believe it was first mentioned here a 
few years ago by someone.

Again, thanks for all the fun and Q's last weekend!

Quack's    .02
I think that we are loosing Many newbies becauz of CW speed.  A friend and
his XYL both hams said that they got on during CQWW CW to try to work some.
The major problem, was they couldn't even get the call signs of the CQers  .
They both do CW around 15 wpm.
CW is a dying art and its going to have less and less of us to carry on,
I'm not a speed deamond. but when I call some stations that are CQing at 32
,  they seem to think they should come back to me at 40.  I do get the info
sometime but, that guy setting there trying to figure out his call and the
exchange info just got lost again.    I'm as guilty as the next guy in
cranking at 34/36 w/CQ SS, however I do slow down to the speed that somone
calls.

Last was KL7XX   78=WY  79=VE4   From  Illinois.
No fair changing the section in your logs now.

I'm sure there are some contesters that in some situations might tell a 
slow op to "go away" (and we don't know the full story on that) but it 
seems to me that Ford's apprentice was in over his head and not very 
enthusiastic to begin with (only after "much encouragement and proding" did he 
get on).

Perhaps he was looking for an excuse to stick his key "back in the 
box".  Sounds like CW isn't his "thing" and maybe he just doesn't *get* 
contesting.  My guess is that this "attempt" at Sweepstakes only 
reaffirmed his dislike of contests.

Hey All,

Well, I'm sorry to hear that a newbie was treated rudely
by a contest op.  Sorry to say, but there are rude people
in any section of society.

I had a lot of fun this weekend, operating my favorite mode,
working a bunch of people who really know how to use a mode
that makes ham radio a unique hobby.  Yep, I went fast... CQing
at 35wpm, sometimes up to 38...  I had only ONE station ask for
a QRS, which he got immediately.  Even a guy sending a check of
44 (Not a club), sending on a straight key, or another with a 
check of 01, got my exchange 100% without a QRS.

It's a great pleasure working such skilled CW ops -- with very little
need for fills -- kinda like working 1RN back in the 70s and running a
ton of traffic without a single fill.  CW Contesters are a special breed!

I bet lots of newbies practice their CW skills by LISTENING to the high
speed guy, getting his basic info (maybe taking listening to 5 or 6 Qs),
then dumping in their call. (That's the way I did it many moons ago.)

Nope, I didn't get a sweep, and it's certainly not my best score --
only on for 11 hours -- but I had fun in one of THE best contests
around.  I can't wait till next year!

About 67K, 77 sections -- missed ME, WY, NL  -- Anybody else have
trouble with Maine?

KE1FO's description reminded me of something...

I learned CW memorizing dots & dashes with that bloody ARRL book.

Luckily, WB7DSI (now N7CF) demonstrated that after some operating
(Viking II & SX-101, w/SX-101 later replaced by some right whizbang
kit like an NC-300 & SB-301) I could easily copy the sidetone of his
Heathkit keyer (HD-1410?) at 15 wpm over the telephone, when I thought
double-digit speeds were impossible.

Somewhere around that time I recall trying to crack pile ups but the
mute switch on the receiver, B+ switch on the Viking & the knife switch
for the antenna were a little too much for late-70s DXing.

I believe there is a company with a four-letter brand name for footwear
that has a slogan that is applicable here: just do it.

Once upon a time, the guys we all look to today were the clueless gits
we are today.

Thats a shame, it sounds like he found the bad apple in the barrel.  I would
say that 99% of us would have slowed down.

I have my external keyer setup for slower speeds just for this reason.  I
find its easier to go to my paddle rather than change the speed on the pc
with a shift f9/f10.

As others have stated, throwing a newbie into SS wasn't a good idea. 
It has the most complex exchange of any major contest, as well as 
mostly seasoned ops. You wouldn't throw a newbie into a Sprint, would 
you? 

A state QSO party would have been a better choice. An even better 
choice would have been telling the newbie to first operate casual CW 
to become more proficient before trying his hand in a contest.

Just because the FCC has dumbed down licensing requirements doesn't 
mean we have to dumb down our operating abilities and acquiesce to 
mediocrity.

I would QRS if someone asked, but I'm typically not a speed demon on 
the sending end (just the receiving end), and I can't recall anyone 
ever asking.

    Methinks I detect some cw "elitism" here which is precisely why I gave up 
on the CW Sprint - too many cw elitists who weren't interested in slowing 
down or giving me the information I asked for. 

    CW SS should NOT be for hotshot cw ops only. I thought we were trying to 
encourage more activity.

Cheers,

Gang,

I just got back from driving 14 hours yesterday after working from
Lander, WY as a Q station.  I am posting a long report to QRP-L
and there will be a write up in World Radio, but here are a couple
of hints.

1.  Don't worry about the sections.  Work stations and they will
      come. {they ---  the sections}   On Sunday I was short
      ME and WY and 3 Canadian sections and you know those by
      heart by now.  :-)  I got a frequency (very difficult for a Q station)
      and made a short run on several bands and had ME and WY
      call me (WY was the other Q station in the state).

      I was hoping VY1JA was going to standby for Qs on the half-hour
      like he had in the past but the 10 meter pileup was large and so was
      the one just down the band for VO1MP.  QUESTION.  How do these
      guys work each other?

2.  Tree's comment about the unique stations brings up an interesting
      point.  I worked a couple of stations late Sunday.  They were giving
      out low serial numbers, so they just got started.  The thing that scares
      the stuffings out of me is that these guys are using bugs.  They could
      not send the same set of numbers twice!!!  Now I stopped and listened
      to three exchanges by the same station that I worked.  I will lose two
      Qs because I get credited with a bad exchange when I copied what he
      sent.  Next year from WY I may chose to not work anyone not using
      a computer for this reason.  I still don't know which one was the 
right one.

      Tree.  Does the computer check routine do anything about this?



>Present score for 2002 -----  85,008 points from WY.  Thanks to all you
guys and girls that worked the weak one with portable antennas in -15F
weather (I was inside but it was cold anyway and you put up antennas
in 0 degree weather and you know what I mean.)  :-)

I agree that newcomers need to be treated gently. I'm one myself. On the 
other hand, it is sometimes too easy for a newbie to be discouraged. 
Persistence, as it says in the Bible, pays off.

During SS, I started out Sat afternoon despairing of ever reading the calls 
and exchanges because they were sent at way over my 10-15 wpm speed. 
However, by that evening, either the senders had slowed somewhat or my 
ability to read had improved.

In fact, I began to look on the contest as fast code practice. I would hear 
a station and sit on its frequency as it exchanged with others. When I had 
all of the info, or all but one of the exchange items, I would call--with 
my hand key. Most ops realized that they were dealing with a 
less-than-great fist, and responded accordingly. Over the few hours I 
operated (after several hours of listening) I logged 15 QSOs. And I got all 
of the info correct, I think.

So my advice to a newbie would be either to sit beside someone for a 
while--but that can be daunting if the op is a 45-wpm type--or, better yet, 
use the SS and such as an opportunity to try reading fast code. One 
advantage of these CW contests is that the ops in the contest are almost to 
a man (woman) first rate and it is a pleasure to listen to good code.

So newbies, do not be discouraged.

73,
John, W3ULS

I dont agree that we are losing newbies directly because of CW speed. 
There is just less interest and incentive in learning the code to start 
with....it has no more commercial/military viability.  You have to want to 
do it for JUST for fun and games now, which isnt enough incentive for most 
to become literate, let alone highly proficient.

It seems the average WPM speed is slowly dropping, with guys sending at 
over 35 wpm the exception rather than the rule as it used to be...

I think it would real interesting to see what happened if QSO's got 
deleted from the log if EITHER station messed up the exchange.  Right now 
there is no incentive for the fast guy to slow down and/or correct 
mistakes  once he has HIS exchange copied...   Most will take the time, 
but I'm sure some dont.

I also felt that activity from the NE was down quite a bit, but perhaps 
that was just band conditions.  I'm not used to hearing stations up and 
down the East coast on all bands almost all the time!

Quack's    .02
I think that we are loosing Many newbies becauz of CW speed.  A friend and
his XYL both hams said that they got on during CQWW CW to try to work 
some.
The major problem, was they couldn't even get the call signs of the CQers 
.
They both do CW around 15 wpm.
CW is a dying art and its going to have less and less of us to carry on,
I'm not a speed deamond. but when I call some stations that are CQing at 
32
,  they seem to think they should come back to me at 40.  I do get the 
info
sometime but, that guy setting there trying to figure out his call and the
exchange info just got lost again.    I'm as guilty as the next guy in
cranking at 34/36 w/CQ SS, however I do slow down to the speed that somone
calls.

Last was KL7XX   78=WY  79=VE4   From  Illinois.
No fair changing the section in your logs now.

Message-ID: <20021105154010.71678.qmail@web14704.mail.yahoo.com>

At home I still send CW with a keyer/paddle.
I have op'd Field Day and other contests
at other places with the local club I used
to be with and used the computer (NA in our case) 
to send the exchange, call CQ, etc.  The 
difference is like night and day, especially
in removing sending mistakes, but also in speed
of handling the exchange.

Operating SS this last weekend with hand keying
was a bear, no doubt about it.  And I'm resolved
to add computer keying to my arsenal.

I'm surprised that no one has suggested this
possibility to the "slow" ops - using the
computer to at least send the code for you.
With the other S&P technique of listening to
an exchange or two ahead of your calling to get
the exchange, and then letting the computer
send your call and exchange at the faster 
speed of the other operator would solve many a
new operator's problems and anxiety.

I knew what I was getting into this last weekend.
I suspect the person we are all writing about
did not.  I, too, would second the notion that
this operator should have started in state QSO
parties and the like first.  I also support the
idea of local contesting clubs formed with a 
major idea of elmering new contest operators.
That is what I had where I used to live - it
helped me alot.

Cheers/73 from Iowa,

I find this debate interesting. I agree that slowing 
down is important and the guy who said "go away" was rude. 
Myself, I always tried to match the speed of my caller albeit
I probably could have gone even slower.

Then again, was the offended party really a contesting prospect?

I remember getting into CW contesting. High speeds were frustrating
to me as well. Yet, I WANTED to be a CW contester. I WANTED to be 
part of (what I consider) an elite subsection of the hobby. I 
knew that I had to pay my dues and gain experience. I even did 
some of things mentioned on this thread (as we all have)

 1) copying data down BEFORE calling (and AFTER)
 2) sitting beside better CW ops with an extra pair of headphones

That's because I WANTED to be a CW contester.

Just two weeks ago, I did my first big SSB (CQWW) contest - those same 
frustrations came over me again. I started all over the same way, 
Listening to CQers over and over until I got the call and sitting 
in with an experienced SSB operator to learn the ropes. I was contantly
shaking my head (how'd you get that call?). It's a whole new skill set 
but I'm not throwing in the towel. (It's funny, I never see anybody 
complain about SSB contest speed but they talk fast and not very clearly.)

Radio contesting is a unique sport. Not many sports let the newcomer
or even the casual player jump in with the big boys. We allow 
competitors and non-competitors to play. We have casual's looking 
for a new state/country, guys looking to win it all, and everything in
between. And then, on top of it, we want it to be fun and equal for 
everybody. :>)  That's because we who love the sport want to spread the
excitement we feel. 

Yes, we need new blood. Yes, we need to encourage sportmanship and
good behavior. But sometimes, we try to sell this sport to others
that it will just not EVER appeal too. Me, I will never golf. Can't
see any appeal in it. My friends tell me it's a great sport. I believe
them - it just doesn't strike my fancy. 

I suggest that our friend who is putting the key away in it's box may 
never have enjoyed CW contesting - even at 13WPM. Not everybody is a 
CW contester. He may have just tried it and decided he didn't like it. 
Fortunately, this is a hobby with many facets. 

I hope he can find one he does enjoy.

In-Reply-To: <00b301c284d2$ba0f5200$7311153f@hewlettykbipll>
Message-ID: <LOBBKFICDFPNLHBMOBDKEEKIGEAA.k0luz@topsusa.com>


There seems to be an assumption that there are a number of hams who would
like to operate contests but are afraid of the fast cw speeds.  I agree that
speeds are getting faster.  Back in stone age times (for me ...... late
50's,  hand keys and semi-automatic keyers (bugs) were the norm and it is
tough to send 35 wpm on a hand key or a bug.  Someone mentioned that W4KFC
always sent at 20 wpm and that's probably right because that was consider
the normal 'fast' back in those days.  Then we went to electronic keyers and
then to memory keyers and the sending got faster.  And you know what???  The
operators got used to receiving faster too!  So now we have this layer of
hams who grew up through these transistions and can handle it and we have
the hams that have no idea how to get up to the speeds we now use.  That's
why I heard no more than 50 contacts with a check of 95 or later with  qso
contacts of over 1000.  So what to do?

Some things have been tried such as suggesting that these operators move up
to the high end of the band and have their own 'slow' contest and when us
speed demons go up there we are suppose to notch our keyers back to their
speeds.  Noooooooo   problem,  but then I don't hear hardly anyone up there!
So here are some possible conclusions:

1.      The newbies are afraid to call CQ
2.      The newbies don't really give a damn about contesting (Quake is better 
on
Internet)
3.      We aren't doing a very good job of promoting the 'slow zone'

If there are indeed plenty of people who 'want' to operate slowly,  then
there ought to be fun just working each other at the beginning of the
contest and then make sure they all understand that on Sunday afternoon and
evening,  there will be many more stations who were previously not listening
that high in the band that will respond to their cq's.

I guess we need to get our marketing division working on this!

Quack's    .02
I think that we are loosing Many newbies becauz of CW speed.  A friend and
his XYL both hams said that they got on during CQWW CW to try to work some.
The major problem, was they couldn't even get the call signs of the CQers  .
They both do CW around 15 wpm.
CW is a dying art and its going to have less and less of us to carry on,
I'm not a speed deamond. but when I call some stations that are CQing at 32
,  they seem to think they should come back to me at 40.  I do get the info
sometime but, that guy setting there trying to figure out his call and the
exchange info just got lost again.    I'm as guilty as the next guy in
cranking at 34/36 w/CQ SS, however I do slow down to the speed that somone
calls.

Last was KL7XX   78=WY  79=VE4   From  Illinois.
No fair changing the section in your logs now.

I agree we need to look for more activity,  but if this is a contest and
contest are there to 'compete',  a qso that can be completed in 18 seconds
(assuming there are more stations standing by or will be quickly acquired)
is better than a qso taking 45 seconds.  And since most of us are optimist
(there is another station standing by to work me and if it takes too long,
the station will tune up the band),  quicker qso's are better!

    Methinks I detect some cw "elitism" here which is precisely why I gave
up
on the CW Sprint - too many cw elitists who weren't interested in slowing
down or giving me the information I asked for.

    CW SS should NOT be for hotshot cw ops only. I thought we were trying to
encourage more activity.

Cheers,
Steve     K7LXC

After a good chuckle at the riposte, it remains good advice.  No one is 
required to stay on a particular frequency.  If the mob gets too unruly - MOVE! 
 The best I've ever heard this done was by W6NV at SU2MT a few years ago.  When 
the rate dropped by about half, Oliver just moved up 2 kHz.  The receiver-less 
idiots just stayed there calling, while he called CQ once or twice and had a 
new pileup going at the new spot.  By the time scenario A repeated, the 
original frequency had cleared out, so back he went.  His overall rate remained 
much higher than if he'd stayed put.

Reinforcing a point made by others earlier - if there are specific instructions 
that the pileup should follow, repeat them with every QSO.  Whether it's "up", 
"EU", "QRP only", "zeros", whatever - it needs to be said with each QRZ.  
Remember that a fair number of the callers may have just tuned into the action 
and it only takes two or three to make mush out of things.  The small 
inefficiency incurred by the extra characters or syllables is paid back 
handsomely in higher rate, fewer repeats, and lower blood pressure.

73, Ward N0AX

Hmmmm. I thought we always played at contesting JUST for fun and 
games? Sure we want to improve our skills and our station - just so 
that it's even more fun.

As a 100% SSB op, let me humbly offer a suggestion. If you want to 
keep CW alive and thriving, you need to grab on to and WELCOME every 
5wpm newbie who shows up. A certain modest % of those will "get the 
bug" and will progress to become the next generation of serious CW 
contesters. That's what has happened here in central Texas. If you 
are unwilling to slow down in SS, at least make a firm commitment and 
serious effort through your clubs to search out, WELCOME and elmer 
some new 5wpm entrants. If you don't, all those new HF ops will end 
up just like NT5C.

73, John.

I agree that it would be mean, if nothing else, to just encourage someone very 
inexperienced to jump in without preparation.  "Here - just hold this rope, sit 
back on your skis, I'll fire up these twin Mercury outboards, and you'll have 
some real fun!  Here we go, now! 
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....."

Right.  I don't think this was the case either.

One of the most important ingredients for success - which was not present in my 
original post, I admit - is listening.  Slow-speed ops can get a lot out of the 
contest if they are encouraged to figure out the general flow and timing first. 
 SS QSOs can be made a lot easier, as we all know, by getting all the 
information copied down first, figuring out what your number will be, and only 
then calling.

While we all post to each other - contesters all - wouldn't it be better if 
this instruction was made available as a Web site with some audio clips?  I'd 
be happy to contribute some writing if a Webmeister would step forward to put 
the site together.  I'm sure there are others out there with audio clips, 
photos, etc.

The point here is that we should be encouraging newer folks to pursue CW,
instead of discouraging them.  A good CW op should be able to work anyone,
fast or slow.  I've also experienced contest contacts where the op on the
other end would apparently prefer to make zero contacts in two minutes,
rather than make one with me.

Good observations Gerry.

I also had fun, although I did not get to spend enough time operating due to
some family stuff going on this weekend.

I really enjoy it when I call someone that I've probably worked in 20 or 25
CW SS's and they crank *UP* their speed when they know it's me.  I chuckle
every time - and am thankful that I'm still able to copy in "panic" mode.

I have never refused to QRS when asked, and was not asked this weekend.  I
did not exceed 32 WPM except when I was working some old guys I know can
copy faster.

I've been thinking exactly the same thing, especially for Sweepstakes. Of
course, rates would be lower due to QRS and extra fills, you could never be
absolutely sure the other guy got it right, and you lose if the other guy is
a lid. But there would be a heck of a lot more incentive to get it right,
which should be a paradigm of contesting. Besides, all ops would be faced
with the same set of skills on the other side, so the playing field would be
level.

While we're on the subject, the one-letter-wrong-in-the-call thing is kind
of silly -- either he got it right or he didn't. What difference does it
make whether one letter or two are wrong (aside from the fact that
two-letter errors are harder for the log check program to correlate with a
given call)? How many high-speed ops have heard the other guy get one letter
of their call wrong and think, "I'll still get credit for the QSO and it's
not worth my time to correct the call for him"?)

If we justify contesting by claiming that it prepares us for emergency
operations, then we have an obligation to ensure that the rules encourage
accurate communications.

Ok rules buffs, here is one for you.

For the past years, through this reflector, QST, and other magazines,  I
have told people that I find a clear frequency as close to my MUF as
possible and on as close as possible to frequencies that end in 27, 37 and
17  like 28427 and 28327.  I applied this during SS CW and several people
commented that I was exactly where they expected me.  For example, I started
SSCW on 28027 and spent a lot of time working pileup on 28016 ( listening on
28017)

A concern was expressed that this may not be within the spirit of the rules.

As I understand the rules: it is against the spirit of the rules to use non
amateur means to solicit contacts during the contest.  It is also against
the spirit of the rules to schedule contacts.

I feel that since I do not know that any 27 frequency will be clear, and
that I do not know who will or will not find me on that frequency, nor even
if my MUF will allow QSOs on any band, that my actions are entirely within
the spirit of the rules.

By the way, I was told that my signals were weak and watery during SSCW
while your signals were clear and LOUD here.  I think that giving everyone
any clue as to how to find even a weak and watery rare multiplier will make
the contest more enjoyable for all.

Message-ID: <20021105174931.72876.qmail@web13302.mail.yahoo.com>

Greetings!

According to my limited perspective, it seems to
me we have 4 distinct types of ops who get on
during a contest.

1) the hardcore competitive type who will be
there come hell, highwater, aurora, solar flares,
Murphy, football, or meals.  They'll work anyone
anytime anywhere. Can be expected to be on, on
some band, the entire time they are allocated to
be on the air. Newbies, oldbies, and slowbies can
count on having multiple chances to work them. 
These stations can be 'precopied' and the info
saved so that all you have to do is copy the
serial no (SERNO) of their Q, and hit 'ENTER' on
the keyboard to have a valid Q when you DO work
them.  Hard core competitve types tend to not QRS
if calling CQ and you call them. They expect that
stations who answer thier CQ's should be able to
keep up in some reasonable manner. They WILL QRS
(usually) if asked but prefer that stations keep
up with them.  Many times their hand key/external
keyer is set to a slowerspeed for just this
purpose in case they need to hand key an exchange
or part of one.  They tend to think that if one
is entering the SS, once should expect that there
is a minimum level of competency expected and if
new or unsure one should expect to need help or
to be willing to put up with the expected higher
level of required ability.

2) The competitive type who wants to do well in
some personal category but will adapt to the
conditions at their own station/life. They are
usually on quite a bit, but they'll QSY/QRT
depending on personal needs or mood.  Newbies,
oldbies, and slowbies  can expect to find them
on, more often than not, but should try to work
them as they find them. Exchange can be
'precopied' like #1 but availbale opportunities
to do so may be limited or sporadic.  Same
logging scenario. Copy current SERNO, insert
precopied info, hit Enter and done.  They tend to
be very flexible to the speed of the station
responding  and will tend  to auto-QRS without
being asked.  Tends to have SOME of the attitude
of #1 in relation to the expecatations concerning
people who participate in the SS, but more
flexible in willingness to accomodate the
slowbies or newbies.

3) The casual contester. They get on as the mood
hits them and are interested in some personal
goal such as beating their previous score,
getting states for 5BWAS/WAS, practicing
techniques or just having some fun in between
other activities. Newbies, oldbies, and slowbies
should strive to stick with these folks as much
as they can and work them as they can. This
station will QRS or tend to be a bit slower than
the normal SS speed because they are not
rate-focused and are not as tuned to that aspect,
save when they get a run going if they choose to
run stations. They tend to submit logs for
scoring purposes.  Very flexible in their
attitude towards expectations that
newbies/slowbies should have. 

4) The non-contester. They get on to 'give the
gang a few points', seek states/provinces for
awards, check out their gear and antennas, and
generally have a good time without any sense of
interest in submitting a log. They will usually
QRS without asking and tend to be more 'laid
back'. Newbies, oldbies, and slowbies like these
types because they have (usually) zero problems
with speed of exchange since the non-contester is
not into it for points, rate, or other contest
specific reasons.

I know.. these are generalized examples and there
are sub-divisions within the categories.  These
are my own observations after many times opp'ing
in the SS.

Thoughts? I'm not looking for flames.. just
thoughts and comments.

If CW is dying.. why was 20/15 always filled with
stations working each other? hmmm.

Hey, I've got a crazy idea. If we want to encourage newer ops to contesting,
why not create a contest specifically for them. Slow code, in subbands where
can operate and an easy exchange. We could call it... Novice Roundup or
maybe something younger and hipper.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] My first SS...
Message-ID: <002901c284f8$2affacb0$11ed3518@CHRIS>

Reading the thread about the gentlemen who "put his key back in the box" has
caught me thinking back.

SS CW was my very FIRST contest back when I was barely a general class, and
about 11 or 12 years old.  I thought I would try my hand at this contest...
everyone said it was "the best."  Saturday came along, and I was ready.  I
had my program on the computer (one I had never used before), my paddle,
high spirits, and the radio.  I was good to go!  After a busy saturday, I
got on the air a few hours after the start.  I decided I would give out a
couple CQ's at my poky speed of about 13wpm.  This was going to be great!
Back then you couldn't even think about 15 or 10 meters in Alaska, so I hit
20.

After the first CQ, it was chaotic.  I felt like everyone in the whole US
was calling!  Not only were they calling, but they were calling FAST.
REALLY FAST!!  I caught a partial call.  I answered him.  Hey wait a
minute... all those guys can't be the one I called!  So I called him again.
GEEZ WHY IS EVERYONE CALLING ME!!!  I try it AGAIN several times.  SUCCESS!
I got his call, and send the report... that seems to take about 10 minutes.
Now he sends his report to me.  SLOW DOWN MAN I CAN'T TYPE THAT FAST!!! THIS
PROGRAM SUCKS!!!  AAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!  So I ask for a repeat... he
slows down.  OK I think I got it.  Time for another one.

The pileup has grown.

After about 10 minutes of yelling at the computer, getting frustrated at
operators not slowing down, and calling constantly over one another, I gave
up.  I quit.  Forget this contest thing!  If someone can't slow down for me,
I don't want to work them.  I'm just a kid in Alaska!!!

I try it again on Sunday.  I try calling guys, not CQing.  They slow down
for the most part.  They are probably happy to work Alaska.  I think I have
the program figured out, and my ears are "tuned" to the report.  I try CQing
again, and the pileup sounds even bigger!!  Great... here we go again.
After a few minutes of that nonsense, I quit while I'm ahead.  I was pretty
turned off from contests after that, at least from SS. :)

But obviously I didn't put the key away!  I just calmed down, and came back
later not so pissed off.  Hopefully the person who made the previous
comments will come back later, a little more level headed.

-Chris KL9A

p.s.  I think starting off "newbies" with Fone SS is a very bad idea... I
don't know why so many people do it with such a complicated contest report!

Not necessarily.  There would be a minimum speed I'd expect someone to be
able to do if he were to hang in there in a CW contest.  Perhaps 15 wpm?
I don't think a 5 wpm code proficiency is going to cut it in a major
contest like SS.

Would you want a driver who just can't drive over 90 mph without losing
control of his car to attempt the Indy 500?  (It has been done ...)

Message-ID: <01af01c28504$008cdc30$d6018b97@bk.trackdata.com>

I'm a CW newbie who can do casual QSO's at 15 WPM or so, but who would like to 
dabble in contesting as a participant and not as a
competitor (more about that later).   I have a strong personal ethos that 
mandates that my pleasure is not to come at the expense of
someone else.  I have been following the thread on Unsportsmanlike and its 
spin-offs.  In summary, my feelings are that:

    contest organizers should provide some kind of venue for newcomers
    newcomers should expect to do their homework and respect the rules of good 
taste
    contesters should extend consideration to newcomers, especially when the 
run slows down.

I have suggested to several organizers that they consider welcoming newcomers 
(who will be tomorrow's contesters) by providing hints
and even establishing informal conventions.  Things like a section on the web 
page "so you're new to contesting" containing the
items posted so nicely by Ward, N0AX; suggested frequency ranges; a suggestion 
on when and how to make a contact without annoying a
serious competitor.  As for conventions, I'd like to suggest that replying to a 
CQ with a ? before the call might be a signal that a
newcomer wants to try.  There is activity in the novice sub-bands in the major 
contests (heard with my own ears in both FD and this
past SS), but it's frustrating since most of OM's replying to a CQ SS end up 
giving their RST, name, QTH, WX or asking "what should
I send?".  And there is little or no participation in the state QSO parties.  
But organizers can designate a place where there will
be activity at a more relaxed pace.  The NYC Marathon was being run at the same 
time as CWSS and it is open to both competitive and
recreational runners.

For their part newcomers need to read the rules, try to copy exchanges, and 
respect the rules of good taste.  Starting with a state
QSO party is one way, waiting until the action cools down and you hear several 
unanswered CQ's, moving up the band.  Using a
computer is not a bad idea, but many want to start more informally.

Contesting is a competitive sport and serious competitors use the best tools 
they can get, and these days, that means a computer.
There is no getting around the fact that working newcomers requires either 
changing the speed setting on the computer or using an
auxiliary key (and many programs support that).  After you've worked all the 
other competitors, there are still lots of potential
Q's out there, and they all count in the log.  So why not consider a deliberate 
switch to QRS when the action slows down?  If the
run is hot, keep at it, but at the end of the contest when every CQ comes up 
empty and everyone else's CQ is a dup, slow down and
see what happens.  In addition to comptetitors (in the contest), there are 
other competitors: those looking for new states,
counties, zones, bands, and just on for a hour or two.  They may or may not 
know the exchange, and they may or may not be able to
operate at contest speed.  You will often hear fone OP's requesting "anybody, 
anywhere" to stir up contacts from casual listeners.
After all, every 'Q' in the log counts.

It took me less time than one QSO at 20WPM to realize Ward's 
"encouragement" letter for newbies last week deserved some cyberspace; 
I posted it on eHam pronto.  I hope it got a few guys on the air.

I think eHam is a great place for some introductory information like 
that letter and contesting.com a better spot for the more 
indepth coverage that Ward is suggesting below (with perhaps a 
corresponding, albeit simpler, eHam article that provides a link).

Audio stuff is great.  The Sprint .WAV files and other info at 
http://n6tr.jzap.com/sprint.html is a great example.  This kind of info 
could certainly reside on contesting.com.

Maybe this has been brought up before ????

Why not just get rid of multipliers for SS ???  CW SS is really an
exercise of who is best at SO2R anyway. The number of multipliers that
the top scores have is usually not a big factor. That way every contact
is equal and no unrulely pileups on anyone....

I know those who like to chase after the "clean sweep" mug might
complain but why not modify it so you can get a mug for making
something like 500 QSO's ??  This way everyone would benefit (more
activity?) besides those stations that are in "rare" sections.

Gee... I sure wouldn't complain about having a big pileup on me !!
(even if it's unrulely HI !) Isn't that every contesters dream ???

Ward, you have made some excellent suggestions here.  

I make it a practice to always sign my callsign at the end of each qso.  I 
find it also helps to keep a pile up under control, especially when operating

It is in the spirit of Ham Radio, therefore it *should* be in the spirit of
the rules.  I personally have no problem with a rare one who is beloved (and
needed) by all, who never has a negative word to say to anyone (however
Hyde-like) who behaves in a gentlemanly manner and good-naturedly uses
completely amateur means to make sure it is "no secret" where to find him
sometimes, when conditions are favorable.

This is different from phone calls, mass mailings, internet posts, etc.

If anything, the concern would be that this could be interpreted as a
violation of the WRITTEN rules.  That's a different problem.

*I* think it is clearly in the spirit of our events, J., and would never
fault you one bit, rules or not.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CW/Contesting Dying?
Message-ID: <000701c28507$81539900$9b00a8c0@nt.charterne.com>

I always chuckle when I hear the gnashing of teeth and feel the anxiety of
those who
say that cw is obsolete, cw is dying, contesting is dying, etc.

I think it is GREAT that there IS all this worry, because that tells me that
as a
group, we are not complacent....., yet.  As long as we keep worrying about
these things, we will do something about them, and our hobby will continue
to exist and even grow.

YES, we are getting older as a group and yes there are technological changes
and challenges and there will continue to be in the years ahead, and yes, we
are losing more and more of our contesting fraternity, year by year, but
then, if all these things are happening:

1) Why are there more hams than ever?
2) Why are there bigger contest scores than ever?
3) Why are there no clear spots on the cw bands
in any major contest?
4) Why can I make SSB contest qso's at 29.0 mhz?
5) Why are so many people spending so much money
to improve/build their stations?
6) Why are we communicating as a group MUCH MORE
than ever before (technology)?

Seems to me that things are just fine (although many
improvements can be made and much can get better).

Here's what I think:

1) There ARE more ham operators and contest operators
out there and the internet has NOT affected radio activity
in a meaningful way - otherwise you would not have seen
the EXPLOSION in the activity level of European and
South American ops.and stations.

2) We ARE older and much more distracted with family, career,
aging parents, financial issues, health issues, etc. that are more
relevant to a population with an average age in the high 40's, vs
an average age in the late 20's!

3) We have more money to spend on our stations and operating
activities and ARE spending it, including dxpeditions, recreational radio
travel, etc.

4) We have more interests and more diverse interests than just radio.
Whereas a high school kid might have sports, dating, academics, radio,
music, etc, a 40 or 50 year old has ALL those interests PLUS
business, travel, political affiliations, fraternal organizations, volunteer
work,
caretaking, other hobbies, etc., etc, and a LOT less time to do it all in!

5) While our operating may be more limited in terms of time, it is probably
with greater SKILL:

higher code speeds, 2 radio vs 1 radio operations, building more complex
station equipment, speaking more languages, better station/antenna building,
etc.

6) Technology has removed much of the drudgery of operating and let us more
easily operate and spend more hours doing it with less fatigue, making the
hobby more
enjoyable!:

Contest software, DVP's, computer logging, computers!, pre-built switching
devices,
better quality radios, headsets, keyers, etc.

7)  We are paying more attention to our family, spouse, kids, than previous
generations
and with shrinking free time, are choosing to spend more time with them
rather
than operating on a regular basis (at least I am)  :-)

Sure there are less JA's and lower US participation in WPX contests and less
cw in the
novice bands.  I can live with that, there are so many other aspects of our
hobby that are better
than ever before.  Yes, cw as an art may be losing its appeal, but until cw
contest scores
go down dramatically from cycle to cycle, I have to believe that the
activity is there when
it counts, and I won't worry.

But as long as we as a group continue to worry, and not take it for granted,
then the future of
cw and our hobby is assured!

You are 100% correct.  This guy is golden!  And I have an idea....

A number of respondents (I count about 60 to date in my inbox), seem to
think the slowbies are not even welcome in SS.  OK.  Then let's start a new
class (the log checking machines will put up wanted posters on me for this
one but here goes).

"A", "B", "U", "M", "S",.....  "SWL"

SWL:
Copy as many callsigns and valid exchanges during the same 24 hour period.
Submit your log like any other contester.  QSO pts awarded for every valid Q
confirmed by log checking.

1) it would provide the basis for "competition" without "blocking the road."
2) it would be an excellent way to "learn" SS
3) code speed would be dramatically increased
4) The slowbies won't be getting in the way.

Just a thought.

Jay,
I don't see what the difference is between that and going back and looking
over the logs from past years to see what time, what band, what frequency
and what call a rare section might normally show up.  There's nothing to say
that the same condx will be in effect this year or that the op will act the
same this year as he did last year.

Let me make it a bit more difficult.  A rare section starts having QSOs on a
frequency abt a half hour before the contest starts.  His call and frequency
are posted.  A single op unassisted station sees this and goes to that
frequency and hears the station.  When the contest starts, he turns off his
packet and immediately works the station (and maybe others that were posted
prior to the start of the contest).  Is the guy still really a "unassisted"
stn?

But, thanks for the YT QSO at the start of the contest on some unknown
frequency, Jay.

Good points, but not the main problem..CW is dying.  A majority of the guys 
get up to 5 wpm just to get on ssb and then seldom if ever use the code.  
Check the checks that you received...not many in the 90s or 00s.  There were 
a surprisingly large number in the 40s and 50s. This is not the case on ssb.

Cw will always be around, just like AM is.  It will eventually be in the same 
class as AM...nostalgic.  This is not a condemnation of cw, just an 
observation.

The ARRL and the FCC have sealed the fate of cw with the 5 code speed.  Back 
in the old days (the 60s and 70s), there was a place for novices (the novice 
bands) to work up to the 13 wpm which is sort of adequate for contesting.  
When someone got into the prime frequencies for contesting they had code 
experience and  might have even had some experience with contesting.  
Remember the novice roundup?  How many of us made our first contest qso there 
at 5 wpm or maybe even the speed demon rate of 10 wpm?

Nowadays, the guys have no place to build up speed.  KG4XYZ upgrades to 
general and all around him, even when contests are not going on, everyone is 
going at least 15 wpm.  Do you remember how your hand shook and how it was so 
hard to copy your first qsos at 5 wpm?  Now think what it is like make your 
first qso at 15 wpm, or worse yet, try to contest.  It's intimidating as 
hell.  Most of the guys, even if they are motivated, would be scared.

I don't have the answer.  I wish I did.  My main love is ssb contesting, but 
I would like to see new blood in the cw tests too.   Maybe we need a 'radar' 
cw contest...one in which speeds were limited to 15 wpm or less

I have operated /7 from WY the past two Sweeps.  I do this because I want
to get an extra station on from a rare section.  Well, OK it used to be
rare and difficult to work.  Since I am doing this portable and I am an
avid QRPer I do this in the Q class which adds one more level of difficulty.
And having portable antennas is just one more stake through the heart.  :-)

This year

K7QO  Q   552Qs  77sections (NL, QC and NWT missed)  85,008 points


1.  I took the /7 out of the call this year as Tree's program removed it 
last year.

2.  I put up antennas in 15 degree F to 0 degrees wx on 
Friday.  Brrrrr.  No wonder
      WY is rare.  :-)  And a foot of snow to boot.  Lander, WY in Fremont 
County.
      I took down the antennas at sunrise on Monday in -15F cold.

3.  Thanks to KL7XX (AK) who called me on Sunday afternoon.
      Thanks to K1PQS (ME) who called me on Sunday afternoon.
      Thanks to VE1ZJ (MAR) who called me on Sunday afternoon.

4.  On code speeds and newbies.

      a.  I was averaging 28wpm.  On Sunday I slowed down to 16wpm to get
           one Q when I was in the S&P mode.  We all had to start some where.
           It is easy to forget that.  (Look up my RUFZ score on the web.)

      b.  I make an MP3 CD for practicing.  It has 1600 valid Qs and runs from
          20wpm to 35wpm.  Takes about 10+ hours to run through.  I sell this
          puppy for $20, but I will give it to any newbie if you send me 
his/her
          call.   They just need a computer or walkman MP3 player that can
          handle ISO9660 f/s.

       c.  I'd call SS one of the toughest CW contests.  It has a long exchange
            and don't even think about changing it.  It is the best test of CW
            skills in any contest I know.  It is a sequence of random code
            groups, but you know where the numbers are gonna be, the mixed
            letter/number groups, ....  Get the newbie to practice with RUFZ
            and get to at least 20wpm regularly on copying random calls.

5.  I never had a contest mentor, but wish I did have one.  There is some 
thing that
      I am doing wrong as 95,000 is my highest score in Q class.  One thing
      that I noticed in CQ mode on Sunday when I could grab a frequency.
      I'd go 2 mins without an answer then get 3 calls.  I'd pick one and 
when I
      was through I'd wait for the other 2 but they were gone.  Why?  When I'm
      out gunned on the bands that I did not have a good antenna  (in 
S&P)  I'd wait in
      line up to their 3 Qs and then move.  Is this the wrong 
approach?  Maybe I am
      TOO patient?  I never got the pileups like VY1JA when I called CQ.  :-)
      Weak stations don't mean they are far away......

5.  Funny story.  You'd be surprised by the amount of time during the contest
      I lose due to two situations.  a.  The guy would take an extra few 
seconds
      thanking me for WY.  b.  Guys asking for a confirmation on WY.  :-)  Like
      WY isn't on the section list on the computer screen?  Like I made it up?
      And this from stations with over 850 Qs.

6.   Second funny story.  On 10m Sunday afternoon.  Try busting the pileups
       on VY1JA and VO1MP running only 400mW!!!  Can't be done.  Long story.



This year was fun for me.  Last year was a bad location and high noise levels.
Next year a contest station may be available for me to operate in WY......

dit dit

P.S.  Will contest for food...... :-)

We have to remember now the speed is only 5 wpm to get a
license.  Can you imagine trying to operate CWSS at 5 wpm?  At
least before, it was 13 wpm and it was a little more reasonable
to expect that someone could copy 15 or so.

I'll contribute all the MP3 files that you'd ever need to practice on.  All 
that is needed is a lot of
disc space.  The problem with SS is that you need the call to start off the 
exchange.  We all
use this to focus on the frequency and the speed for the exchange and to 
block QRM.

Another idea, but not cheap.  At Dayton there was a company that was using 
a receiver and
a video recorder to record 80 KHz of a contest.  Elecraft at their booth at 
Pacificon had a K2
with the same setup using an MP3 recorder to demo 40KHz bandwidth of a 
contest.  How
about recording contests like SS over a wide range and then having people 
use it to get
a feel for the contest.  I know that I could learn from such a setup and 
you could study
individuals (both the good, the bad, and the ugly) and their techniques and 
adapt to a
better way of operating.  This could easily be done by clubs with funding 
to bring in new
guys and girls to keep the membership up.

And you remember the DrDX program simulation?  I may have the name wrong as 
it was
decades ago for that software and the Commodore computer.  There are a few 
computer
simulation programs like PED and RUFZ, but there is probably a need for 
more contest
specific software to be written.

I agree Bill, and you hit the spot when you say that there are few
opportunities out there to begin using cw.  I can still remember my first
novice qso and I have the qsl to prove it.  On the qsl,  the station I was
working states something such as "If I could get my hands on you right now,
I would chop your head off!"  Now that's even a little worse than "go away".
But no problem,  I knew that I was a real novice and hadn't practiced the
code since I took the test (probably about 2 months earlier when it took a
while for the FCC to get around to assigning calls).  So he was right,  I
was a terrible cw operator,  but I enjoyed talking to people and I found
things like Worked All States and novice roundup and before I went for my
conditional (I lived in the boonies) I could copy well over 20 wpm.  I
missed North Dakota for my WAS and I can't remember where I ended up in
novice roundup,  but my call was there somewhere.  So I had the opportunity
to grow with others that had the same growing pains as I.  I'm not sure if I
was placed into todays enviroment as a beginner that I would ever learn CW
very well because I learned by doing rather than 'practicing'.   I did
enough of that on my trumpet!

So let's face the facts,  there will always be some that have the discipline
to go that extra mile to learn the code even though it wasn't necessary,
but they are going to be few and far between.  Enjoy the light of CW while
we can because as Bill stated,  someday it will be like AM at the top of 10
meters.

I got a different message than that from most of the 'public' discussion
(maybe your private email had a different tone) I saw.  (I'll also concede
that each persons understanding of the same message may be filtered by their
own mindset on a topic.)

In any case, my take on a 'concensus' is that 'slowbies' are indeed welcome,
but they're likely to need to 'precopy/postcopy' a lot, and perhaps this
effort will be the training that moves them up out of the 'slowbie' ranks. 
(Presuming they have that goal.)

I've listened attentively to a few CW contests, and even recorded  short
sessions on my laptop... but it sounds like what is sent is garbage..and I
reckon I have mostly 100% copy... Maybe I simply have no idea of the
abbreviations/codes used.  Passing any CW exam is easy.. but contest stuff
??

Is there any place where a real actual exchange is written down clearly so
I can simply duplicate it ?     Maybe I need to track down who has done
this CW thing before...

My personal rule is if I do not receive confirmation of any Contest QSO,
even if I've sent my exchange - its out of my log....  I wiped out 56 QSO's
out of my CQWW SSB log...

Right-o.  You ever see a MLB pitcher slow up his fast ball for a rookie

Can we keep the unnecessary and inaccurate ARRL bashing out of this?
Especially since the League was AGAINST the across-the-board reduction in
code speed?  Give it a rest already... I'm as disappointed as the next guy
that the FCC chose to do what they did, but they did it, and we have to live
with it -- continued kvetching is pointless.

And maybe I'm wrong, but didn't the FISTS revive the Novice Roundup after
the League dropped it due to lack of activity?

Good points, but not the main problem..CW is dying.  A majority of the guys
get up to 5 wpm just to get on ssb and then seldom if ever use the code.
Check the checks that you received...not many in the 90s or 00s.  There were
a surprisingly large number in the 40s and 50s. This is not the case on ssb.

Cw will always be around, just like AM is.  It will eventually be in the
same
class as AM...nostalgic.  This is not a condemnation of cw, just an
observation.

The ARRL and the FCC have sealed the fate of cw with the 5 code speed.  Back
in the old days (the 60s and 70s), there was a place for novices (the novice
bands) to work up to the 13 wpm which is sort of adequate for contesting.
When someone got into the prime frequencies for contesting they had code
experience and  might have even had some experience with contesting.
Remember the novice roundup?  How many of us made our first contest qso
there
at 5 wpm or maybe even the speed demon rate of 10 wpm?

Nowadays, the guys have no place to build up speed.  KG4XYZ upgrades to
general and all around him, even when contests are not going on, everyone is
going at least 15 wpm.  Do you remember how your hand shook and how it was
so
hard to copy your first qsos at 5 wpm?  Now think what it is like make your
first qso at 15 wpm, or worse yet, try to contest.  It's intimidating as
hell.  Most of the guys, even if they are motivated, would be scared.

I don't have the answer.  I wish I did.  My main love is ssb contesting, but
I would like to see new blood in the cw tests too.   Maybe we need a 'radar'
cw contest...one in which speeds were limited to 15 wpm or less

Hmm,
I even have a name for post-mult SS. Ragchewing.

Is SS an SO2R contest? I don't think so. Sure, people do SO2R. It's a great
contest to practise SO2R, particularly on Sunday. But when you have a
relatively small, fixed number of multipliers, the benefits of SO2R are not
as great as in, say, WW or WPX, which for everybody have unattainable
maximum amounts of multipliers. You can, in contests like that, pick up
mults you wouldn't otherwise have with SO2R. It's hard to say the same for
SS.

In SS, any Q that you pick up on Saturday on the second radio is one more
non-Q adding to the Sunday doldrums. It is also a contest, as K0HB says,
where "mults happen." There's really only a handful you need to work for.

I think the fact that there are an attainable number of multipliers adds to
the charm of SS. That one station faces what some consider unmanageable
pileups does not, in my view, warrant a significant change in the fun factor
for the rest of us. I mean no disrespect to anyone when I say that, but
there is another station in a section almost as rare as YT who does seem to
manage huge pileups on both modes quite well.

The Sweep is also a goal that stations can set if they know they aren't
going to be Top 10.

SS is fine the way it is. I think our efforts would be better spent on
helping those with unruly pileups learn more effective techniques for pileup
control.

Pileups in DX contests can be as big or bigger than any faced by any one
station in SS. After all, in WW, everybody is working everybody. I wonder
what it's like to be a rare South Pacific station when paths are open to
Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas at once. Do we propose to eliminate
mults in those contests as well, so nobody has to face a big pileup?

I also think the concerns expressed about pileups were less about the size
of the pileup and more about the attitude displayed by some people in the
pileup.

While it doesn't teach you strategy, the simulator in TrLog is fantastic for
getting one up to speed with the SS exchange.  Any speed.

Unfortunately, even Tree's magic can't prevent one's going brain-dead on
Sunday afternoon.  I found myself counting dots a couple

Hi Chuck et al

TRLog has a great simulator in it.  I spend lots of time playing
with that one.  I like to crank it up to about 45 wpm and just
see how many I can work at that speed.  It's fun to see the rate
meter climb up to 250 or 300 :-)  I'd recommend that to anyone
who is trying to learn how to do a CW contest.  73

There aren't more hams than ever in the USA...

The totals have been stagnant for two years (max was in March 2001), and in the

http://WWW.AH0A.ORG/FCC/Licenses.html

Worldwide, ham radio growth is minimal also.   The most recent published IARU

I agree about the need for speed.

However, there is a place for even the most 'novice' contest entrant.  But,
the novice has to be made aware that he/she is getting into a real
horserace.

When I started sailboat racing, there was no 'beginner's' fleet.  I was
thrust into the full-up start with the rest of those who had varying degrees
of greater expertise than I.  And, yes, it was frightening.  But, I
eventually overcame it and won some cups, platters, candy dishes, etc.
(which my ex-mother-in-law subsequently sold at a garage sale when her
daughter and I divorced.).

Geez, guys, people have to start somewhere.

One guy throws in the towel (or puts his key back in the box) and suddenly
we are all at fault.

Get

A

Grip


There are certain realities that must be accepted: SS is not for the meek.

If someone wants to contest or you want someone to contest, let him/her get
their feet wet in NAQP or a state QSO Party or two.

I don't know if it worked or not, but I sent Ward's note (twice, it turned
out: I needed to modify the operating times to CST) to all the ARRL
affiliated clubs in Texas on Friday.

I went to the ARRL webpage (http://www.arrl.org) and clicked on clubs.  I
selected TX as the search field ofr ARRL-affiliated clubs.  I selected and
copied all the clubs and pasted them into Notepad.  I then opened Excel and
imported the .txt file containing the clubs listing.

I then wrote a VBA macro to delete all lines not containing an e-mail
address, remove the "E-mail: " in that field and  concantenate the addresses
into one field (line).

I then copied 25 e-mail addresses at a time from that line and pasted them
into an e-mail BCC field.  I copied and pasted Ward's text into the e-mail
message and sent it.

I have no idea how effective that exercise was.  I didn't get any feedback
from anyone about whether the addressees (indicated as points-of-contact for
the clubs) even redistributed the note to their members, so, who knows who
saw it.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Omni-V Fixed.  Tnx Ten-Tec de VY1JA
Message-ID: <000701c2854f$547d8ce0$14096cd8@jallen>

Friends,

Thank you for your support concerning the ARRL Sweepstakes CW Contest.  I
will be on during the SS Phone contest with my Omni-V.  It is working
perfectly thanks to the efforts of the efforts of  Ten-Tec Service.  I was
walked through servicing it myself via e-mail.  I have owned other rigs and
never had this kind of service before.

When Scott, W4PA, Ten-Tec's Sales Manager, heard of my problems during
CW-SS, he extended the offer of a loan of a Jupiter, to make sure that I was
on the air for phone SS.  He then asked Ten-Tec's Service Manager, Paul,
WD4EBR to assist me with repairs, which Paul did.  Scott's offer of the
loaner was to be a backup in case the repair work failed, but with Paul's
help we were able to get the Omni-V fixed before the shipping deadline for
the Jupiter.

The loader work is done, my health has returned, and I am free now that the
rig is working, to get that beam up and the rotator under it.  Wish me good
weather.

If I consider the volume of received e-mail as a voting medium of the
"contester's rules committee", the following is in perfect order:

Watch for me at my MUF before the contest finding a clear frequency on or
near ?27, ?37 or ?17.

:o)

Let's have fun in a little over a week, and expect a number of VY1's as well
as VY0AAA with a small apartment operation.  Bob, VY1MB, and I are each
planning serious efforts, so VY1 should be VERY easy to find... now what
about WY, MT, and NL?

I been holding back...and it ain't been easy!

Ya' know in the past day or two this thread about how some unknown guy 
SUPPOSEDLY unpacked his key and tried to work SS but got disgusted so he 
put it back in to the box and into the closet...well its hooey in my 
opinion.

This is no different than the same crud I hear all day long on the cable 
news programs - about how Americans should feel sorry for causing other 
countries to act in a viscous and inhuman manor towards us in the Mean 
Olde USA and golly gosh it must be our fault as Americans that they do 
these terrible things...

GET REAL

This guy is not a CW op, he can barely copy CW and you believe that 
someone told him to "go awy" - I wonder if he could copy that much CW. 
 He will show us though he is not going to operate CW so there...someone 
tell to take his ball and go home.

a) I do not believe this person exists but is a figment of someone's 
imagination designed to voice a point of view without them having to say 
that they cannot handle SS CW because it is too fast.

b) I made over 1300 contacts this weekend and NOT ONCE was I asked to 
QRS.  There was one station high in the band who I called over and over 
again on Sunday lowering my speed 4 WPM at a time his response was 
clearly embarassment as I know I am loud into his area - he paniced.


Does this mean we need to change CW contests?  HELL NO!  This is one of 
the few times we get to exercise our gray cells!  If a CW contest is too 
hard for you - and you have tried going high up in the band so you are 
the highest frequency participant and you call CQ, and you have asked 
others to QRS (that means slow down) and still have no luck my guess is 
you are not transmitting on the same frequency as you are listening.

Does this mean you, the nebie, give up on contesting, no - you get 
comfortable with the code first - how do you do that USE IT FOR CHRIST 
SAKE!  Don't take the key out of the closet on contest weekends and 
expect that since it sitting on the operating table you are given 
copying ability!

I refuse to believe a contester would not slow down for a slower guy - 
scores depend on making QSOs, if you throw away that QSO you are a jerk.

I feel bad for all you guys who got sucked into this crap - then again, 
most of this audience is the easily impressioned American one which gets 
all its knowledge from the boob tube...therefore it must be true!

New CW ops - work on your CW....

Contesters - don't buy into this Politically Correct crap....

REMEMBER ANYTHING WORTH DOING, IS WORTH DOING WELL...and that does not 
mean it is necessarliy easy to do - when you do learn it however you 
will feela sense of pride having mastered something that you had to work 
for.

Contesting is not for cry babies, or guys who blame others for all their 
short comings!

I'll have to admit that I let myself get in a bad frame
of mind durring CW SS and spent a lot of time 
doing other things. I'm not a 5 wpm extra. I passed
my 20 wpm test back in 86. But, I didn't use cw
much after that. I even had about a 5 year period
where I didn't even own a rig or operate. Who is
to blame for that? Must be that guy I see in the
mirror every day.

I am no cw whiz period, but I also am too stuborn
to lay down and give up. My Plan A was to go
high in the band and call CQ at 20 wpm. I thought
that most would answer at that speed. Some did,
and some didn't. Well, here's another mistake I
made. I should have sent QRS instead of hitting
F9 on TRLog to send the "?".  Looking back, 
another mistake I made. 

Contests like the ARRL 160 are a lot easier for me,
since the exchange is really short. SS requires
one to be more "on the ball" then any other
contest due to the longer exchange. I did use the
TR simulator some, and felt I was doing halfway
decent, not great, but not terrible, running it at
around 24-26 wpm. Well, all well and good, but
perfect code, with no background noise, no qrm
no qrn is quite a bit different then when you go
to the rig. 

The "wait and get the info, then call" idea is fine.
I should have done more of that. The only problem
with that is, if the station you want to work is 
cq'ing and not getting any response, then you
have a problem because you can spend a lot
of time there waiting. When I ran into this
situation, with guys going probably 30 wpm+
I would send my call at around 20 and I assumed
they would send the exchange close to my 
speed. And yes, I did have the call of the
station before calling.  Well, my mistake
here was assuming that station would come
down to my level. Well, looking back on that
technique, that means I was assuming that
operator could read my mind. Well, that is
not always going to work. Some did, and I
appreciate that. But, I don't feel the stations
that came back at high speeds were in the
wrong. Again, I could have used QRS and
more then likely, they would have sent the
exchange slower. Again, my mistake.

Well, I could whine and blame the other guy
and never try another CW SS again. But, I
have another plan. Buy a set of paddles
(I've relied on the pc for all my sending)
and get on the air a lot more often. 
Yes, I'm sure I'll make a lot of mistakes
before I get the hang of using them. And 
I'll no doubt be going slow, at least until 
I learn to use them. Sure, I'll use the pc
durring most of the contest, but there
are times when it would be easier to
just use the paddles instead of taking
the time to put the program in keyboard
mode. 

Does this mean next year I'll do better? 
Well, I hope so, but, even if it doesn't, I'm
sure I'll feel better about it, since I'm not
going to do what I did this year, and that
is get frustrated and quit. I was mad at
myself, and beat myself menatally. I'm
going to work at becoming a better cw
op because it's just not in my nature to
give up. If I said "well, cw at contesting
speeds, just isn't my thing", then that
would mean I would be giving up and 
only operating half the contests. Naw,
that isn't going to happen. Time go get
in gear and do my best to improve. I 
hope otthers that struggled this weekend
feel the same way.

Right-o. You ever see a MLB pitcher slow up his fast ball for a rookie
batter? Nope. If he did, the rookie would never learn to hit in the
big-league.

My software allows me to enter the call as part of the exchange (which it
is) so I don't appear to need the call to start off the exchange.  Am I

I just got the latest Rate Sheet from ARRL, and my heart jumped when I saw
the following announcement:

"Worked All Europe DX Contest - CW - sponsored by the Deutscher ARC,
0000Z Nov 9 -  2400Z Nov 10."

HOT STUFF!  I thought the only WAE contest was in August, when propagation
was at its worst for the year.  But a new fall version...fantastic!  Then I
became concerned when I saw there would also be the OK/OM DX Contest this
weekend, overlapping WAE CW by 24 hours.  That has the potential for major
confusion, far worse than RAC/SP on 160 in the winter.  But after writing
down all the relevant data from the Rate Sheet, I thought I'd do a quick
check on the DARC page and see if this was indeed the first running of a
fall WAE.

Bad news...the Pyallup Tribe of Indians are NOT going to be a new DXCC
country...and the WAE contest this weekend is RTTY, not CW.  Too bad.  So to
anybody else out there who thought there was going to be a red hot WAE on
this weekend...forget it.  The Rate Sheet is flat wrong.

Is SS an SO2R contest? I don't think so. Sure, people do SO2R. It's a great

as great as in, say, WW or WPX, which for everybody have unattainable
maximum amounts of multipliers. 
..............................................................................

......................................
SS most definitely is a SO2R contest, but for a different reason than WPX.  

Yes, mults are not as important in this contest, but even a big gun station 
in FL is going to have a tough time finding a VI or PR station since we are 
looking away from them the whole contest.  I can't afford to bust up an 80 to 
100 hour S/Ping for one unless I have the machine going on a run frequency.  

The main reason it is an SO2R contest is that you start to run out of guys 
the second day.  In the last SSB SS my second radio was good for around 
100-150 qsos.  Maybe I would have worked them anyway.  Who knows.  I 
certainly am not talented enough on Saturday when I am running 120 per hour 
to use a second radio, but it sure makes a big difference on Sunday.

Sounds like you're off to a pretty good understanding of how SS CW
works.  It strikes me as incredible that any serious SS CW competitor
wouldn't do anything possible (within the rules) to squeeze out
every makeable contact - and slowing the code speed down is the
easiest and most obvious one out there.   Look at the logjam at
the top 20 HP claimed scores this weekend.  A small number of
contacts really made a difference this time - and does many times
in SS CW.  

After the first 6 hours of SS, I didn't call CQ once above 30 WPM.
I made many, many CQ calls at 22 to 24 WPM.  I made a number of
contacts
in the 13 to 17 WPM range either answering their CQ sent at that speed
or in response to a 'slow-coder' calling me.  I often dialed the
code speed down to below the speed I was called at to make sure the
other guy got it right the first time.  After all, getting it once
at 17 WPM is the same as me sending it twice at 34!

W2SR, get on and call CQ at 15 WPM at 21.097 or wherever.  I'll be
HAPPY to QSO you at that speed in SS and will stick with it until
you get my exchange.  Vice versa, if you can figure out my callsign
from a higher speed CQ and dump your call over to me at 15 WPM I'll
dial it down fast to make sure I work you.  Even if it's near the 
start of the contest.

Where did most of us learn our CW skills? Pushing the envelope in SS and CD

Jim, and others,

Nice to see someone express this side.  Contesting is
a sport, and you have to have the necessary skills to
compete, and one of those skills is CW (for a cw
contest).  CW skills are learned by practice, and it
is possible to learn to copy 30 wpm or more
(regardless of what the ARRL and FCC believe).  At one
time 20 WPM CW proficiency was required to operate in
certain parts of the CW band.  Now that you can get an
extra class license with 5 wpm skill, don't expect
everyone on the CW bands to be running at 5 wpm.  

Jim, you are exactly right about needing to USE cw to
get your code speed up.  When I was a novice (before
the ARRL killed that license in favor of the shack on
a belt) I wanted to upgrade to general.  I tried code
tapes, and failed the CW exam.  How did I finally pass
the 13 WPM (no I didn't wait until 2000 and get
grandfathered in), I got on the air and made CW QSOs! 
After doing that for around a year, I received a 25
WPM code certificate at the 1982 ARRL convention, and
that was before I even upgraded.  

Yes it would be nice if we all slowed down for
everyone who calls us, and I try to do that, but you
need to have perspective on your skills and maybe work
on them.  I don't have the loudest signal on the band
by any stretch of the imagination.  In any contest
there will be stations that can't hear me.  Do I take
my rig and go home, and write messages to the
reflector whining about how unfair it is?  Well I
could, or I could figure out how to improve things at
the station to be better heard, and try to learn more
about propogation to improve my chance with certain
areas, or I could be content that I am not going to
work everyone and get over it.

BTW, why is it the big bad US that everyone runs to
when they cannot defend themselves against aggressors?
 We're the bad guys until it comes to liberating
Kuwait, SOuth Korea, or stopping Nazis.

Or maybe to put it another way, the way to make SS Sundays relatively 
productive and enjoyable is to have one radio running at all times and then 
S&P like crazy, because there are people who only come on to call CQ, and 
others who only come on to S&P.  I didn't follow my own advice on Sunday 
afternoon, and the score shows it.

Then there are all the cases of serendipitous missing each other that go 
on.  For example K7BG was my 1080; I was his 1175.  I had been really 
sweating MT until just shortly before because we'd obviously been on 
different bands or CQing at the same times or somethin'.

After reading yesterday's "Rate Sheet", CW enthusiasts may have had a momentary 
vision of Utopia with the Rate Sheet reporting a second CW version of both 
Sweepstakes and WAE.  Sorry for the false euphoria, folks.  Phone enthusiasts 
will now suspect me of being a closet CW elitist bent on world mode domination. 
 Well, maybe :-)

I would love to blame my egregious error on some obscure Microsoft bug, but it 
was due purely to editorial inattention during cut-and-paste operations - 
better known as "My Fault!"

Bulletin...

1) Nov 9-10 is the RTTY weekend for WAE - not CW.
2) It's PHONE Sweepstakes on the 16th and 17th - not CW.

Apologies to all!

I'm still a kind of new to this contest. I've been participating in this
contest for only 4 recent years and I LOVE IT. If you are taking part in the
contest only to use your (pardon me) finger, pressing F1 all the way then
this contest is definitely not for you. IMHO this is the contest where you
have to use your skills and brain - you have to determine where and when to
run, you have to use your S&P skills when it slows down. I even love
Sunday's slowdown. It gives you a kind of chance to catch all those
F1-guys...if you are good enough in S&Ping... You don't even need KW's and
huge stacks for this contest...And the format is great as well as the rules.
If it really slows down I know I can go up the frequency, reduce my speed
and work slow guys...There are always new guys up there...
So please, don't make any changes to this wonderful contest... Just try to
participate. Sometimes I see there are much more talks than on-the-air
activity...

With best regards,

Bruce --

I too got all excited about the WAE CW and also about being able to run CW
SS again during the November 16 weekend.  Both were untrue -- darn! Sent
Ward an e-mail.

I just got the latest Rate Sheet from ARRL, and my heart jumped when I saw
the following announcement:

"Worked All Europe DX Contest - CW - sponsored by the Deutscher ARC,
0000Z Nov 9 -  2400Z Nov 10."

HOT STUFF!  I thought the only WAE contest was in August, when propagation
was at its worst for the year.  But a new fall version...fantastic!  Then I
became concerned when I saw there would also be the OK/OM DX Contest this
weekend, overlapping WAE CW by 24 hours.  That has the potential for major
confusion, far worse than RAC/SP on 160 in the winter.  But after writing
down all the relevant data from the Rate Sheet, I thought I'd do a quick
check on the DARC page and see if this was indeed the first running of a
fall WAE.

Bad news...the Pyallup Tribe of Indians are NOT going to be a new DXCC
country...and the WAE contest this weekend is RTTY, not CW.  Too bad.  So to
anybody else out there who thought there was going to be a red hot WAE on
this weekend...forget it.  The Rate Sheet is flat wrong.

Bruce, ZF2NT

Subject: [CQ-Contest] VE4XT's observation about SS and SO2R
Message-ID: <3DC964E4.3040707@tampabay.rr.com>

man o man o man do I disagree with the following:

VE4XT wrote:

Is SS an SO2R contest? I don't think so. Sure, people do SO2R. It's a great
contest to practise SO2R, particularly on Sunday. But when you have a
relatively small, fixed number of multipliers, the benefits of SO2R are not
as great as in, say, WW or WPX, which for everybody have unattainable
maximum amounts of multipliers. 


SS is ALL about maximizing QSO count.... (my multiplier thread was last 
week) ... During the last half of SS I would feel confident to say that 
close to half my QSOs were on the second radio!  You just plain start 
running out of guys when you are running - but you cannot afford to miss 
one who shows up during halftime of the football game - so you gotta CQ 
- but all that time you better be tuning for new ones on the other 
bands...  

While he has not posted his score yet, I am hazarding a guess that WP3R 
will be first or second in SS....  I had not called him - but had lined 
my rig up on the second radio to call him as his QRS CQ's were going 
unanswered - funny thing is HE CALLED ME before I could mash F4 on the 
second computer!  I do not know fer sure but I bet all but mebbe one of 
the top ten finishers in SS CW will have been using SO2R - which allows 
you to "push" the emvelope of QSO count as hard as you can. If you are 
noth running and S&Ping at the same time - well - you are maximizing 
your brains potential to make QSOs appear in your log!

SO2R also works much better (for me anyway) in SS due to the long 
exchange - you get more wiggle room as far as timing calling the other 
station and call literally adjuct you CQing to time out at the same 
moent as the other guy does his....and when you call him on radio two 
and he comes back - you return to CQing on radio one while he is sending 
you his exchange...etc....  it is a little bit like juggling flaming 
torches but it sure keeps you aware of what you might have missed, too!

SO2R is mandatory in SS - I would encourage guys who may not have the 
potential for two full stations to consider it for next year even if it 
means the second rig is barefoot and you are in B class... even if it is 
only a trap vertical on that second rig - until you take that time you 
spend CQing and use it for something practical you do not realise how 
much of a waste of time listening to your computer send your CQ 
flawlessly several thousand times during the weekend is!

After reading yesterday's "Rate Sheet", CW enthusiasts may have had a
momentary vision of Utopia with the Rate Sheet reporting a second CW
version of both Sweepstakes and WAE.  Sorry for the false euphoria,
folks.  Phone enthusiasts will now suspect me of being a closet CW
elitist bent on world mode domination.  Well, maybe :-)

I would love to blame my egregious error on some obscure Microsoft bug,
but it was due purely to editorial inattention during cut-and-paste
operations - better known as "My Fault!"

Bulletin...

1) Nov 9-10 is the RTTY weekend for WAE - not CW.
2) It's PHONE Sweepstakes on the 16th and 17th - not CW.

Apologies to all!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Contesting - Open or Closed?
Message-ID: <00ef01c285ca$fa836bc0$27d7fea9@mirage>

To run with the Big Dogs - you can't be a puppy, pull yourself up by your 
bootstraps, and all that.  Admirable, true, and good personal advice for 
improving your contesting success.

But...

I must point out that contesting is quite unique a sport in that the success of 
the competitors depends entirely on the ability to connect with as many other 
participants as possible.  And not only other participants, but 
non-participants.  Certainly an auto race can not open the gates to every 
possible participant in every event - but radio contesting depends on doing 
just that. No one has to pre-register or qualify to play - just show up and be 
welcomed, right?

The success of the sport depends on its open-ness and easy access.  We should 
not over-react to a poor experience by one or two, nor should the behavior of a 
couple knotheads reflect poorly on us all.  Yet, having a healthy sport means 
more than publishing the rules and an email address for logs and saying, "Take 
it or leave it".  There have been several good ideas put forth as to how to 
educate and attract contesters.  I hope some of them are widely implemented.

To a large degree, however, the methods by which we conduct ourselves on the 
air is the primary window by which others view and form opinions of the sport.  
Outreach is THE challenge to the contest community over the coming solar 
doldrums - not amplifiers, cheating, packet spotting, or log formats.  Outreach 
is required to the casual and non-contesters - even anti-contesters - to keep 
the sport healthy.  We have a great opportunity at present with super 
conditions and participation in many contests at record levels.

Let's not blow it in our urge to be competitive with one another.

73, Ward N0AX

I hope this is not too far afield for the group. A friend has a ts940s 
with a CW problem. While receiving CW (with or without 500hz filters) 
there is a 'tone' on all the time. He says it sounds like a BFO type 
tone bleeding through. The tone is present on all bands and is very 
audible when listening on just a dummy load. The tone does not appear to 
'beat'against signals. If anyone on the list has had any experience with 
this problem please e-mail me. We have checked the Kenwood service 
bulletins and find nothing resembling this problem.

So, I changed the topic and left in the majority of Ford's comments.
This sounds like an awesome idea to me.  This could be a nice category

Chuck:

Thanks for the QSO.  I was guest op at W4AN.

Not everyone who uses a bug has trouble sending numbers correctly.  You
can't know who is using computer generated CW or just using an
electronic keyer. The computer generated numbers are at least as
unreliable as the ones sent by an electronic keyer.  In some programs,
if you ENTER the QSO before giving a fill, the fill sends the NEXT QSO
number, not the one that you intended to send.  If you are not
listening, you will not catch and correct the error.  The guy with the
electronic keyer (or bug) will NOT make that mistake.  I am pretty sure
that I had two guys give me the wrong number because of that very
problem...I asked for a confirmation or correction and they sent me the
number after the one they had originally sent, but both insisted that
the second number was correct....so what can you do but log the later
number?

You worry too much.  Those guys will probably not send logs in and no
one will lose the QSOs.  Or they will send in a paper log that won't be
used for cross checking.  Even then, if you lose the QSO, you lose the
QSO.  There is no penalty as there is for a NOT IN LOG claimed QSO.  So,
you lose nothing by making and logging the QSO.

I have been told that, in at least one contest, the logging software
does not kick out QSO numbers that are off by only one number, apprently
because of the computer problem I mentioned previously.  (This was not
ARRL SS.)

We do this for fun.  Let's keep it that way.

Jim's humor is very entertaining, but on Sundat afternoon in SS after
a 2 hour break, I just could not copy the code..I doubt I could have
gotten my own call at 5 wpm. Took another break, and things were
better,,

I'm just wondering if this is common?

John, K4BAI, makes a very good point and one that I had not thought of, e.g.
the computer sends one higher number than it should be.  There is also the
other side of that problem.  In most programs if there is no info in the
"Call" column, it sends the previous QSO number or one less than it should
be.  This can happen if you miss the call and are waiting for it to be sent
again or even if you have just fallen behind becuz you can't type at 200
QSOs per hour.  If you are receiving this info and have not been listening
to the station sending for a while, you would never know that the number
sent was in error.  And, in many cases, the sending operator is totally
unaware that the computer just sent a wrong number because he's busy trying
to type in the missing call.  I think the checking computer is totally right
to allow a QSO number plus or minus one without penality.

Dennis K2SX

When I received my copy of the Rate Sheet & saw that this weekend's JIDX SSB
contest was split into high & low band weekends - on the same weekend as
WAE CW - it sounded too good to be true... a proper reason not to do JIDX SSB,
not to attend SEANET conventions (which seem to always fall on this weekend)

Dan,

I'm not a Kenwood expert (although I do own a TS-850 for contest-expeditions).

Doesn't the TS-940 have a button (I think it's called TF-Set) that 
generates a tone on CW to spot against?  OTOH I may be remembering a mod 
from K1GQ for the TS-930 to make the TF-Set button to do such a function.

My FT-1000Ds have such a button and it is very useful.

I don't understand the phenomena completely, but we finally gave up on NV7A. 
Statistically, when S&P'ing on CW, about one in four stations either missed 
the call the first time, copied it as N4ZA or asked for a repeat on the 
State.

So, here goes another grand experiment. As of today, NACHO (Nevada Ass'n of 
Contest Highland Operators) is now W7TTT. We'll see how often it becomes W7O 
in CQ CW. In SS Phone, it will be W7 Tic Tac Toe.

Damn OJ, you shoulda held back.  Excuse me while I piss flaming napalm all
over your strawman.

N0FP is a friend of mine, an enthusiastic new contester, an accomplished CW
operator, a contributing member of Minnesota Wireless Association, and
something of an "evangalist" for everything related to ham radio.

To put the lie to your accusation the he "cannot handle SS CW because it is
too fast", Ford put together a 100K+ SOLP SS CW effort last weekend. 
(Something like 700 Q's and a Sweep, if memory serves.) That may not be "top
10", but it ain't too shabby for a first effort at SSCW.  

I mentioned earlier that Ford is something of an evangalist. (That's a "Good
Thing (tm)" by the way.)  So, while I don't agree with all of Ford's
conclusions on this matter, I am 100% certain that Ford did in fact coerce
some unsuspecting newbie into trying SSCW.  And I further believe that the
results of that disaster are something similar to what Ford describes.  

Now we can have all sorts of highminded discussion about Fords' reaction to
his friends experience, but accusing Ford of making it all up to voice a point
of view is simply a cheap shot, and unworthy of a topnotch guy like you.  You
owe Ford an apology.

John,

I don't necessarily agree with the thrust of the message from Ford, but he
damn sure wasn't whining about "unfair".  He was trying to make a point as he
saw it.  No we may see it differently, but sarcasm and accusing him of making
up stories to voice his view as waaaaaaaaaaaaay out of line.

Maybe some of you missed it, but N6TR operated from the mostly broken
(thank Lilly) W5WMU station this past weekend as QRP.  Results:

Total: 1105  Sections = 79  Total Score = 174,432

He bested superman N5TJ's record from 1997 when Jeff managed to beat the
old record by more than 37K (that is 181 QSOs).  Tree managed to work more
than 50 more QSO's than Jeff did in 1997.  At one point when I dropped in
to see how John was doing at my station, the only comment he made was

Before this goes any further...everybody sit tight!

I am the one who has "accused" N0FP of making up this guy...this is my 
feeling alone - and should I find out that this story holds water I will 
immediately post a message to this reflector that I appologize to N0FP 
for that charactarization...

I should note that I do appreciate Ford calling me in the SS this past 
weekend, at the that point he hadon Saturday night he had logged 188 
calls in his log so he clearly is NOT incapable of CW contesting!

My gut feeling is that there are not contesters out there who 
deliberately shoot themselves in the foot by telling a calling station 
to "go awy" - I have been told to go away in essence by non-contesters 
wwho I happen to find in heretofore unworked multipliers on any given 
weekend...that is about the only time a contest QSO is turned down!

I have NOT spoken with Ford, and am asking he reply to me directly so we 
can continue this discussion privately...

My reaction is a result of years of watching contesting get watered 
down...too many categories and too little recognition of significant 
achievements put forth by guys from propagationally challenged area, 
etc.  Before this sucker gained a head of steam and someone suggested a 
new category for making their first 100 CW contests contacts I interjected.


SO - EVERYBODY QRX (for you phone guys that means standby)


To K0HB - I gather you know Ford, please tell him to get with me on 
 this, as anyone who reads this reflector knows I am very much so 
pro-contesting...it was not my intention to make this reflector appear 
like the TV commercials of the previous week....

Jim, K4OJ QRX fer N0FP

Well, I guess now we can add "liar" to the list of names I've been called
over a rather innocent posting a few days ago Re: Unsportsmanlike?  Hmmm  I
guess it's been about 40 years since somebody stuck their tongue out
at me and exclaimed "liar-liar-pantsonfire!"  She and I were both 6 years
old
at the time -- her name was Susan.

In spite of the generally held belief that SSCW is the "Grand Prix" of CW
contesting, this is not about CW Speed at all.  It is about "Culture."
Contesting
culture.  Ever have a job where the work environment is "caustic?"  A great
job can turn into slavery in no time because the culture is screwed up.
It's no fun to be there.  A caustic culture can happen at work, in churches,
sports teams, political campaigns, families, ham radio contests, and
internet reflectors.

Not all the public and private posts have been so pointedly negative towards
me.  I am but one voice in a sea of voices.  Here is a clip from one very
notable
private and unsolicited response...

> This thread reminded me of why I quit active contesting and sold
everything.

There goes another missed Q...  Only this time, everybody gets to miss it.

There is a very fine line between "man this is fun" and "man this sucks."
It has nothing to do with radio, CW, SSB, RTTY, hardware, skill, or
otherwise.  It has to do with culture.  When it's fun to be there, you can't
keep people away.  When the "fun" is gone, so are the people.

If you want people to come to work in the morning, make it inviting. If you
want contesting to grow, make it inviting.  If you want people to
participate on this reflector, make it inviting.  Otherwise, you will end up
playing with yourself, all by yourself (pun intended).  My original posting
was intended to illustrate only one point.  This culture can be caustic to
newbies.

In OJ's treatise flaming me, he expressed great disdain for Political
Correctness.  The moderator rejected my initial response as being
inappropriate.  Apparently, words starting with F and Y are not permitted
when used together.  So, in an attempt to provide a more politically correct
response, those magic words are not included herein.

Smart move, Tom.  NV6O went the same route, for the same reason.  I 
remember one time calling him in a PHONE NAQP as "N4BO."  There was this 
long silence, and when he came back, he was still laughing, fortunately.

My impression -- ain't hindsight wonderful -- is that the B/6 and V/4 busts 
are particularly common because people have trouble distinguishing 3 dots 
vs 4 at or above their speed limit.  I have occasional problems with being 
heard as NV7R, but even as long as the2X1 calls have been around, I still 
think that 1X2 or 1X3 is more "expected" and therefore people are less 
inclined to bust my call into a 2X1.

I am also interested in Bill's request .  Having a lot of business as well
as relatives in LA, I travel the Houston to New Orleans I-10 route
frequently and always try to get a glimpse of Pat's great antenna farm as I
pass by the Breaux Bridge area.

Headed to New Orleans on Thursday before SSCW weekend as I passed through
the area I was concerned as to what kind of damage Lilli had caused. Going
east I saw nothing -- maybe an 18-wheeler pulled along side or something.
But on Monday going west I could see several towers standing but couldn't
tell if any functioning hardware was still on top and wondered if Tree had
been able to make his annual SS CW trip to Acadiana.  Sounds like enough was
still available to allow him to make a fantastic QRP score.  Of course the
only requirement for that appears to be the proverbial "wet noodle at 30
ft".

A report on the effects of Lilli at W5WMU and Pat's efforts to get it back
in shape for SSCW would be interesting.

T-F Set does not generate a tone.  However, unless RIT or XIT are
engaged then the cw sidetone pitch very acurately reflects the actual
transmit freq.  T-F Set is used to temporarily switch to the opposite
VFO (A-B).

they would provide a useful analytical tool for all of us.

Unfortunately, to date I've only received about 9 responses.  I figure that 
50-100 are needed to give meaningful statistical data.

I'm basically looking for just 4 numbers.  Please take a minute and send 
them to me directly.  You don't have to be a high scorer, or high power.  I

All of the TS940's  I've ever used have this feature to some degree.
It
becomes more obvious as the bands become more quiet -- such as
when you move up to 10 meters at night.  Tighten the CW VBT and
you will peak it.  Put a resistor in series with your headphone leads
and
you might attenuate it to a tolerable level.

Maybe some of you missed it, but N6TR operated from the mostly broken

Total: 1105  Sections = 79  Total Score = 174,432

He bested superman N5TJ's record from 1997 when Jeff managed to beat the

more

I don't understand the phenomena completely, but we finally gave up on NV7A.
Statistically, when S&P'ing on CW, about one in four stations either missed
the call the first time, copied it as N4ZA or asked for a repeat on the
State.

So, here goes another grand experiment. As of today, NACHO (Nevada Ass'n of
Contest Highland Operators) is now W7TTT. We'll see how often it becomes W7O
in CQ CW. In SS Phone, it will be W7 Tic Tac Toe.

I guess it has to do with familiarity, intention, fortitude and/or
expectancy.  If you have the intention and the fortitude to put up with
miserable behavior from some, you just deal with it.  If you are familiar
and know what to expect, it doesn't faze you.

There's a famous restaurant in Chicago called Ed Debevic's.  The
waitresses are paid to be rude to the customers.  Most of the customers
know this, expect it and play along.  If you went in there not knowing of
their reputation or not expecting it, I suppose you wouldn't stay there
very long.

BTW, I estimate from what I know that only a tiny percentage of contesters
are rude.  Probably the same percentages as in any other endeavor.

Hi Pete:

I think the worst mistake I ever made in contesting was in CQ WPX CW in
1996, the year the summer Olympics were in Atlanta.  Georgia stations
could subsitute other numbers in their calls to celebrate the Olympics. 
"34" for the 34th Olympiad, add two zeros, or "96" for the year.  I
elected to be K96BAI for that period--maybe it was May through August of
1996 for most general operating and it wasn't too much of a problem to
get the call across.  The first contest to come along was, of all
things, a PREFIX contest.  So, what would be more natural than to be a
new multiplier for everyone, a K96?  Well, I reckoned without the
problem caused in contest operation by the "6B" combination,
particularly coming after K9, which was in itself a complete prefix. 
After a few hours, I ferverently wished I was just K4BAI for the rest of
the contest.  I stuck it out, but S&P was a real chore.  It is truly
amazing that contest operators can (apparently?) copy a random three
digit serial number the first time every time, but cannot copy an
unexpected callsign such as K96BAI even on three or four repeats.  (And
to any contester who was really prepared for a prefix contest, the
callsign should not have been unexpected.)  

Which is a long way of saying that I agree with you and with Tom's
decision on the call NV7A.  He gave it a good try for a number of years.

73,


John, K4BAI.

Would this be a bad time to say that I don't believe that anyone would 
actually have the naivete to come on halfway through a contest & say "Work 
me again, I lost my computer log". But I have been told by some that this 
has happened.

If K5RC was using his new call would W3IAR call him by saying, "Tic Tac Toe,

And, more importantly, would it automatically be a dupe?

Hello,

I shall be in Japan through mid-December, and I would be interested in
traveling somewhere within 4-5 hours' train or plane ride from Tokyo to
operate in CQWWDX CW (or possibly even the 10 Meter Contest) if someone
would like an operator to activate their station.  I would prefer a single
op, but would also consider participating in a non-smoking multi-op effort.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Pile Up in the Top Ten Box
Message-ID: <20021108005027.34234.qmail@web13305.mail.yahoo.com>

To change the subject just a bit....

  There seems to be an amazing pile up developing to
get into the CW SS SO HP Top Ten Box. It looks like
there are 10+ stations vying for spots # 8,9, and 10.
Most of the Top Ten in fact will come down to the log
checking. Last year the Top 20 lost from 13 to 72(!)
QSO's in the checking, so this could really go down
to the wire.
  The question is: why does it take until June to get
the results? The entire contest season will be over,
and it may (or may not) be summer here, and my mind
will be a million miles from contests.
  A proposal: If you are playing for the Top Ten, you
have 24 hours to get your Cabrillo logs in. (Please
don't offer any excuses, people with a room full of 
radio gear can manage this requirement.)
  A database of all worked calls is made up from the 
logs, and the correct exchange info for each call is 
determined, say by 90% agreement amongst the entered
logs. Incorrectly copied Q's are removed from the
entered logs.
  The question of what to do with uniques. This is
probably meat for a years worth of discussion. IMHO,
it seems that there should be NO uniques among the
top 100 or so scorers in the CWSS contest. There is no
"begging" for Q's (anybody, anywhere) like on SSB, and
all the logs for all the Top Ten box entrants would
be in the database (Q,A,B,U,M classes). Uniques are
thus tossed out. I could live with this for the CWSS.
  The results would be posted in a week. Tree, your
comments? The last thought I have is that maybe QST
would publish Top 20 boxes if they are going to do
away with the line scores. That leaves 100 spots to 
get your call in QST, certainly a suitable goal for
a contester willing to put in some time and effort.

Back to the regular program........

Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.0.20021108012759.026ca830@pop.pacific.net.hk>

Anybody here know how I can reach KC5TJG?  He is in the Dallas area & I can
find no email address for him anywhere that doesn't bounce.

I am going through spot comments about QSLs for VR2BG.  Such comments can
result in no VR2BG participation in contests - judging from how I was chased by
others during the two dozen S&P contacts I made from CQ WW SSB, very few got
the VR mult this year.

Not that KC5TJG's spot is considered to be in the same category as the
person who appears as W0SF-@ & others who are fueled by his spots &
comments... in this case I wish to close the loop with George to make sure
he gets a card, although I see I have already sent him a card for all the 
contacts
I see with him in my log.

Wonder how many other DX stations give contests a miss because of the
expectation of QSL instantaneous gratification by the "Deserving"?  I myself
fell really behind once, but I'm quickly catching up on the cards received in
the past six months & am increasingly of the opinion of not having any more
of this rubbish.  It's like we exist only to serve that lot.

Sorry for spew & let me make it clear that I'm not whinging about KC5TJG's
spot - just going through the motions of QSLing & doing it my way: a little
slow, but thorough.

Speaking of Morse in the water, true story follows----

Takes place on a Navy destroyer docked in Norfolk, VA.

As some of you know, in my mis-spent youth and early adulthood I was a Navy
Radioman. In the late 50's, early 60's, that meant that newbie 'bootcampers'
spent most of their waking hours copying the "Fox" CW traffic, monotonous
24WPM 5-letter coded groups for for 8 or 12 hours straight, then crash to grab
some sleep, wake up and eat, and back at it again.

After one particularly long 12-hour watch 9-PM to 9-AM, I had just
grabbed some breakfast, took a shower, and crashed in my bunk at about
10AM. The bunk was just below the waterline and next to the skin of the
ship (5/8" steel plate). As I lay there just drifting off to sleep I
started to clearly hear Morse code coming from the water outside the
hull of the ship. It was slow and choppy, as sent by an inexpert
operator on a mis-adjusted straight key, but it was readable code, and
it seemed to come from more than one source, because there were changes
in pitch and intensity at various times. "Aw, it's only my imagination
fueled by exhaustion" I convinced myself and drifted off to sleep. When
I awoke several hours later, it had disappeared.

When I went back up to the radio shack that evening form my next shift,
I mentioned this to a couple of old hands, they gave me a 'knowing look'
and snickered a bit, and pooh-poohed it away. Somehow I had the feeling
they knew something that they weren't sharing with me.

Fast forward to the next morning after my 12 hour shift. I was beat, so
skipped breakfast and shower and just crashed... in my bunk by 0915.
There was no code coming through the hull! I was my imagination after
all!

10AM -- I am jerked awake by Morse coming at me again, right through the
hull of the ship! Luckily there was another RM, a bit more experienced
than I, in the compartment. Sheepishly I asked him if he heard the same
code I was hearing. I had to convince myself that I wasn't going nuts.

"Of course" he said. "It's Gertrude."

Who the hell is Gertrude, and how is she sending Morse through the hull
of a destroyer?" I asked.

Well, to make a long story short, "Gertrude" was a code word for a sonic
system that Sonarmen useD to communicate with submarines during fleet
exercises. Took a visit to the sonar shack, and they had a J-38 which
they used to key a sonar transducer, and of course they weren't very
expert. Turns out that every Tuesday and Wednesday at 10AM they held
practice drills with other destroyers moored nearby.

Good post, butI fail to see why uniques should be limited to the top
100, else think all your remarks good and fine for discussion.

Every year, W4AX will get on and work me in the 160. He may or not
work anyone else.
Same is true of K4CY, my neighbor, ( alias 9K2ZZ who writes Logger and
Zakanaka ) and Bob would rather be thrown into a pit of vipers than
submit a log to the ARRL.

I've gotten dinged for these "uniques" for the last 2 years. And
afraid I sent a nasty
email the last time. If it happens again, I'm going to send ARRL the
QSL card!

If the ARRL is so rigid about uniques, let them submit a request to
the one who worked it requesting confirmation. Now, what are the odds
some little pistol will get on, work about 10 others just on for fun
on Sunday afternoon, and not one of them submits a log?

I too spent time this weekend wondering if I was going to get beaten by a
guy running 5W!!  Great score Tree.

With the strength of the QRP stations this past weekend, it did strike me
that the SS would do very well as a contest with a 150W output power limit.
We could just have Q and A categories - completely eliminate the high power
category.

Let's face it, we don't really need a KW to work around the USA/Canada.
Since you only need to work once, there is no need for power to make
marginal QSOs on the low bands.

If you look at the results, A is the most popular category anyway.

It will have more of an impact on Phone SS than CW, but not sure that it
wouldn't make Phone more interesting and competitive as well.

Of course, anyone could still go to KP2 or KP4 and win...

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Let's move along, PLEASE
Message-ID: <3DCB30A7.9070202@tampabay.rr.com>

I think I have learned a lot in the past few says.

One of the things I have learned is that maybe I should not use the 
internet and public postings to drag others into my personal 
business...it appears there has been quite a hornets nest generated.

I gather form N0FP that he has been sent numerous e-mails which are less 
than positive in their tone. To him I apologize for his having to endure 
this.

The original thread about how some ham could be "dissed" by a contester 
is an important thread.  I felt it important because I do not think any 
contester should ever turn down a QSO - only under extreme QRM/QRN/QSB 
type situations where you truly have tried to copy the other station but 
just plain cannot dig them out of the ether shouldyou say no.  I find it 
offensive that some guy could ruin another guys attmept to have some fun 
contesting by telling them to "go awy".

It appears we will never know who the offending station may have been, 
that is all I wanted to know as I wanted to try and set him, the "go 
awy" guy straight... to remind him that such behaviour is not just poor 
sportsmanship but a behaviour which can only hurt a sport which already 
has more than its share of "haters".

Contesting is truly an individual thing - and that in my opinion is why 
it has a following that tends have a long life span.  You improve on 
your station, your skills and consequently your scores, this takes time 
and dedication.  Nobody gets on for the first time and lands in the box, 
ever.  Becuase it is not a  fat wallet that is the requiremnt for a 
"winner" many persue contesting.  They know that the wineers are those 
that win every time they operate by their challenging their biggest foe 
- themselves.  If you keep doing better than you have done in the 
past... you  find yourself doing better than a whole lot of others, too!

It is good to push yourself, it is part of the human character.  In all 
portions of your life.

Again I am sorry that this got as ugly as it appears it did for Ford, he 
made a clean sweep last weekend, anyone who spends that much time in the 
chair clearly enjoys contesting - it is a shame he has to see it now as 
a two edged sword.

I repeat my request, should you know of the offending station let me 
know. He needs some education as to why contesting which we know as out 
and out fun is something others view as out and out crud and they do not 
need us adding to their flamage.

Let's talk about some positive things from this past weekend like the 
phenomenal QRP score of N6TR, or how N2NC (piloting N2NT) has made it to 
the top scorers in SS, from the Northeast, this is tough...jow about the 
midwest scores of W8RE and N9RV????   Anyone know of some newbies who 
were energized by their first real SS, and have any positive stories to 
convey here.  I think I could use some!

I promise to try to stop being quite as terse as it appears I was, and 
will try and reread my posts before hitting send... in its own way I 
suppose I am guilty of telling some to "go awy" -  and for that I apologize.

73,

Jim, K4OJ

If I read this right, it sure sounds like DXers can give contesters a run
for their money in terms of being nasty.  I guess DXers have little
incentive for being nice to anyone...at least contesters have to think about
next year!

Man...and after the past few days' posts, I was starting to think contesters
were the scourge. ;-)

Why?

Uniques (assuming we're talking about legitimate QSOs with stations 
that happen to only make one QSO and not mis-copied calls) are good.

How would deleting uniques make the reporting process faster?

Not me...but then I've only made Top Ten in CWSS once.  Near the 
bottom.  Low Power.

        For the 2000 WPX CW I borrowed NV4X from K4MA.  This
turned out to be a big mistake for CW.  Most seemed to copy it
as N4VX, possibly because of the similarity to K4VX.  I tried
slowing down only the letter V, using half spaces between the
letters, etc, etc, all to no avail.  After only 3 hours I figured 
it was going to be a long weekend.  Fortunately my XYL rescued
me by requiring an early Saturday AM visit to the hospital where
I spent the rest of the weekend.

        Stay away from those NV prefixes on CW!

Message-ID: <001d01c28723$99d3b9b0$0200a8c0@k1ttt1>

During cqww ssb my AR-Cluster node was apparently 'full' for a while
resulting in some users getting rejected.  I know I saw 80 users
connected at least twice, that plus the telnet node connections just ran
it out of connections and with 1200+ spots/hr may also have been slowing
down the service.  For future contests please try to spread the load out
a bit.  Here in the north east the following AR-Cluster nodes normally
connect to me and should have the same spots within seconds of my node.

W1GQ dx.w1gq.net
K1EU k1eu.dynip.com
AA2MF dxc.aa2mf.net
W2GSB 24.187.239.170 (replaces n2tx but has been experiencing some kind
of problems recently)

Please try them out before the next contest, set any filters you may
want on each one, and make sure you know how to switch your telnet
software in case you have to do it in the heat of the contest.

To me, this once again underlines why we're all waiting for Logbook of the 
World, which by my memory is at least 6 months late.  Anyone know a current 
schedule?

Randy,

You are assuming that everyone is using a good antenna system. Until
I get the time to go head-to-head with the city of Los Angeles for a
conditional use permit, I am stuck with antenna by Eimac. My trapped
vertical on the roof is pretty close to a dummy load, but when you
pump 1000 watts into it, enough signal leaks out to make some contacts
and have a little fun. This is definitely not W5WMU.

I got to thinking...(obviously a dangerous situation)

WAZ - Western Arizona - DXers would love this one and could get Worked All 
Zones with one QSO
NIL - Northern Illinois - This would be a hard place from which to have a 
Golden Log
SUV - Southern Urban Valley - This one consists of anyone operating from a 
freeway in the Los Angeles basin
CPR - Central Puerto Rico - These are so rare, your heart stops when they call 
you
SID - Southern Idaho - Every time they call, the band goes dead
WAR - Western Arkansas - Don't get in a frequency fight with these guys
NUT - Northern Utah - The crazy guys moved here to get away from the Black 
Helicopters
SRI - Southern Rhode Island - You'll regret operating from here
CIA - Central Iowa - They never ID properly or submit logs
OLA - Outer Louisiana - Always tuning up...always
DOH - Downstate Ohio - Every QSO winds up busted somehow
CPA - Central Pennsylvania - They can account for every contact
OIL - Outer Illinois - Any truth to the rumor that these guys run gas?
EON - Eastern Ontario - Gosh, these operators are slow
IKY - Inner Kentucky - The signals from here are disgusting
WIN - Western Indiana - Obviously, THE place to be in any contest

See you in the PHONE (that's PHONE...not CW) Sweepstakes next weekend.

And then there was the time I moved to France for a year, and was loaned 
the callsign TV6MHZ to use in the WPX contest.  I also quickly learned
that S&Ping was not productive.

It was only slightly better with 4U1ITU - only because that people have
heard the call enough - but still not something people can latch onto
quickly.

The best callsigns?  Either double letters, or ones that spell something.

I worry about W7TTT, since it isn't "self-syncing".  I look forward to 
busting that callsign in future contests.

enter B class. That leaves a chance for a little pistol like myself,
one tribander and wires, to make the top ten in A class as I did
a couple of years ago. Do away with B class and little guys like
me will probably never see the top 10 again with all the big gun
stations fighting for the same. Selfish? Yes, but trying to make
the box is a big motivator for me and SS is one of the few contests
where I got a shot at it from home. 

I know we don't need big power to work USA/Canada but at least
it gives us another category for competition. We already have NAQP
for 100W and QRP competitions.

I think it is easy to understand why this takes as long as it does.  First,
it takes about 2 months to get all of the logs, and fix some of the problem
logs up (those that are missing information or logged the contest in local
time or sent in the previous year's log).  Then, the log crunching has to
occur, and in the past few years, there has been work put into improving 
the capabilities of that process at the same time.  Once the numbers are
generated, then the writeup needs to be written and folded into the schedule
of the two people in the contest department at the ARRL.  Then, finally, it
goes off to the printers and gets mailed out using the slow mail.

And that doens't mention the paper logs that have to be dealt with manually
(still about 10 percent).

Many things are changing that can reduce this time and already this has 
happened.  The robots are helping clean up problem logs in real time.
Publication of the results on the web eliminates the printing and 
mailing delay.  The log checking process is near "perfection" and requires
less development in parallel.  It might be very possible to have "final"
results for all stations within two months of the contest.

The ARRL has come up with a new schedule for results, and things are moving
up about 6 weeks for this year I understand.

WB0O goes on to wonder about uniques:

>   The question of what to do with uniques. This is
> probably meat for a years worth of discussion. IMHO,

This really isn't an issue in my opinion.  First off, uniques are only
a problem if a log has a lot of them.  All logs are going to have a few,
but when a log shows up with 10X the average (that aren't matched to 
busted calls), then this raises suspicions.  

For sure, any uniques a top scoring station has will be looked at.  There
have been some cases where it was obvious that "friends" got carried away
using multiple callsigns.  These QSOs were not removed, but in most cases,
these friends were encouraged to stick with one callsign, and to work some
other stations in the contest.

But - just to be clear - no uniques are removed without being judged to
be a busted callsign.

K4SB chimes in:

> I've gotten dinged for these "uniques" for the last 2 years. And
> afraid I sent a nasty

> QSL card!

I am not sure this happened in the SS?  It takes a lot of unprobable 
events to occur for any unique to be "dinged".  Please provide specific
data if this is the case - as I would be intersted in knowing more about
it.  Uniques are not removed from any log without being identified as
a busted callsign.  This applies to all contests I am aware of (except
the Internet Sprints and Keyman Club of Japan contests which require
both logs to show the QSO to be counted).

If you are concerned about uniques being listed, then please understand
this is a tool to detect people that have way too many uniques, a sign
of manufactured QSOs.  It also flags possible bad QSOs that can later be
judged to be busted either by the software or a human.

Finally, WB0O asks for my opinion (a dangerous thing):

> The results would be posted in a week. Tree, your comments? 

I would not want to make the call on who makes the top ten in a tight race
without having all of the information available.  Part of the log checking
process involves cross checking the QSOs with the logs we have.  This will
detect not-in-log situations, as well as incorrect serial numbers.  

If we did this before all of the logs were in, the stations with higher
error rates will look better than they should.  For each NIL not detected,
there is a 2 QSO impact.  Thus, an inaccurate log will be more competitive
without all of the logs being used in the process.

Therefore, I would suggest that if you wanted even faster results than 
supported by the log submission deadline, you work to move up the log
submission deadline for all logs.

Finally, AA4GA asks an interesting question:

> How would deleting uniques make the reporting process faster?

It makes it a LOT easier - because uniques are much easier to detect than
busted calls.  You have no judgement involved at all.  A unique is simply
a callsign that nobody else worked.  It takes a lot more work and time to 
match these up to busted calls.  In a contest like the SS, that is pretty
easy because of the "quality" of the exchage (lots of good information that
can be used to help you match up the call).  For other contests, like the 
ARRL DX and CQ WW, where the exchange is pretty useless, it is a lot harder.
These contests would be about 100X times easier to check if uniques were
just not counted.

Please understand I am not proposing this...  I am just answering the 
question Lee asked.

November QST (p.104) says "We are still working on the schedule, but in 
general, the results should be available to ARRL members 3 to 4 months after 
the end of the event.  This allows us time to process logs, handle problems, 
add in paper logs and generate a nice write-up.  This is 2 to 3 months sooner 
than the current QST schedule."    For non-members the results will be 
available on the ARRL web site the month before the QST issue (i.e. early 
October for results that will be in November QST) - or 5 to 7 months after the 
contest.   At least that is the stated plan!

The only date that has been mentioned is that Logbook of the World would be 
implemented during 2002...    as of today that is still the plan.    The first 
sign of it being "real" will be a request for people to help out in the final

 You would think the process would be quicker since everything is
computerized now. Before email came along (from what I remember) the CW
results would be in the Apr. issue of QST and SSB in May. Maybe that
10% of people who send paper logs are slowing down the process ?? 
Maybe they ought to just classify those paper logs a "check logs". I
doubt it would cause much of a fuss because I bet most of those logs
are probably from casual participants anyway...

  If you think about it... It's not how much power you run but the ERP
that you are getting from your antenna that makes you loud. Tree
probably would of beat me out in most pileups ... at least on the
higher bands, since he was at big station using stacked yagis !!! Is it
maybe time for a tribander/wire class in SS like they have in WPX ???

Jeff,

Try a trapped vertical (actually half of an Cushcraft A3 driven element)
shooting into the side of a 4000' mountain (in the direction of all the
SS QSOs). I think we need a new precedence for situations like this
- it will be class "D" for dummy load or perhaps "P" short for "PW".
RF output power will be unlimited in this class as long as you can prove
that 90% of it is turned into heat in the antenna, feedline, or nearby
terrain (e.g. high EURP - effective unradiated power).

This will give all us lids who are loading up various forms of
moistened pasta, window frames, and home wiring a class to
compete in.

I agree with that completely.  All arguments aside about whether someone
with less than 13 wpm code speed should participate in SS, my philosophy
is - unless the other station is causing deliberate interference to me or 
being malicious, I just work him.  I'd never say "go away".

Whenever I get to running stations in ARRL DX, there are always some
stateside stations that call me.  They probably don't have a clue about
the contest rules and think they're doing me a favor by giving me some
points.  This usually happens on Sunday afternoon/evening.  I just work
them, log them and then keep that copy of the log but remove the QSO's for
the log I send to ARRL.  It's a sure thing that a good number of them are
going to send me QSL's!

Nope, I don't think ERP was the reason. Assuming Tree was running 5
watts, a 30db gain over real earth would be the equivilent of 160
watts to a dipole. And I don't know of any set of stacked yagis which
has that gain. Plus, you would have to have the ability to lower the
stack to get the desired take off angle. 5 degree TO is fine for DX,
but
you don't hear USA stations with it.

Tree was as loud as a rock band here, but I have to think the
operator, and location did the job.

Message-ID: <4.2.0.58.20021108220933.009b08c0@mail.comcast.net>

Speaking of callsigns which are hard to decipher, my worst experience came 
back in the late seventies (when I was at college in Arkansas) that I took 
a trip up to visit a buddy at the University of Missouri in Rolla, MO 
.  Jeff was not a ham, but had hung out with K5GO and I and had absorbed a 
lot of "contesting culture" at the original N5DX so he knew I'd be 
interested in trying out the club station, particularly since it was ARRL 
DX weekend.

The UMR club station was (and still is) W0EEE which was equipped with a 
Drake C-Line, SB-220 and (among other antennas) an 80M flat top dipole 
stretched between two 160' campus power station smokestacks.  Man, I could 
hardly wait.

It didn't take long before I came to discover how difficult it was to get a 
callsign full of "Es" through a 80M CW pileup.  Signal strength was not the 
issue - the callsign simply had no "inertia" to it.  Sending the call 
normally simply did not work.  The only thing that worked was "di dah dah, 
dah dah dah dah dah, dit (pause), dit (pause), dit".  It was humiliating...

After two hours, pizza sounded a lot better than low band frustration.

Hi Randy

Interesting post.  This year I've tried something new.  I
disconnected the amp and have been running the rigs barefoot
here.  I don't do a lot of CQ'ing--mostly s&p.  In the RTTY
contests I've been in, I can't really see any difference from
running 100 watts or 600 watts.  Still seem to get through on the
first call.  The wife, neighbors and everyone else seems to
appreciate me running low power now :-)  Think I'll go the rest
of the season running low power.  The only real difference I've
found is trying to work Eu on 40 from Oregon with low power, but
it can be done.  73

Ed, although I pretty much agree with your conclusion, I am
wondering where you got the 30dB figure? The difference
between 5 watts and 160 watts is 15dB (about 2.5 S units on
a calibrated meter). A good long boom monobander will do
about 9dB over a dipole at the same height. That leaves about
6dB needed for operating skill to match an "A" power guy with
a dipole at a good height for SS. Of course most of the really
competitive "A" scores are probably from guys with moderate
to good antenna systems (TH-7/402CD). In those cases, the
difference between the EIRP of the 150 watt guy and the QRP
superstation are even larger, requiring the QRP superstation
operator (and location) to make up for something like 9 to
12 dB of EIRP deficit (if I had to calibrate Tree's operating
skill I would put it closer to 12dB).

The one big advantage in my estimation that a superstation like
W5WMU can give an SS operator is a lot of different antennas
to chose from. The guy with a single TH-7 (or dipole for that
matter) can't overcome the physics of his antenna height. At
certain takeoff angles, he will invariably have nulls in his vertical
pattern. The guy with stacks can bip-bop around and fill these
nulls in. This can make a huge difference as anyone who has
switched from an antenna that is too high to one that is at
optimum height can testify. Being able to quickly switch
azimuth direction doesn't hurt either.

Once a few years back, I needed VE6 for a CW sweep.  Couldn't
fine one anywhere.  Just a few minutes before the end of the
contest I heard some VE6's rag-chewing on 80 so I broke in and
asked if someone could give me an exchange on CW.  One guy did
and I made my sweep.  Now, if I did that, it would probably get

Subject: [CQ-Contest] My best QRP story (not W5WMU)
Message-ID: <20021109055948.GA31131@kkn.net>

While operating at W5WMU this weekend was sure a surprise and
I am very pleased with the result, it actually isn't my best
QRP story.  I'll tell the WMU story afterwards.

I think it was Field Day in 1979, there was a 2A battery operation
in the Malibu mountains with the call N6VI.  This was when Marty Woll
and Wayne Overbeck, N6NB, had those neato tower trailers and they
had nice monobanders on a mountain top.

I wasn't able to be there for the whole weekend, but I agreed
to come do the night shift, from midnight until 6 AM.  Finding
a FD site during the night time can be a challenge, but I think
I made it just before it got totally dark.

I sat down in front of some kind of Japanese radio - the kind they
sell in Japan that only runs 5 watts.  It was on 20 meters and
N6NB settled down to get some sleep in the cabin of his motor home
(the same one you see on the cover of QST when he did an EME effort
on the Nevada/Utah state line or something like that).

What happened in the next six hours is hard for me to believe, even
today, but I was able to run on both 20 SSB and CW like I was running
a KW.  I actually could CLEAR A FREQUENCY on 20 meter phone by CQing.
This is something I am not sure I have ever done since.  

I was convinced there had to be an amplifier somewhere, but I operated
the whole period on one battery.  I QSYed to CW for awhile and then 
came back to phone.  I remember having something like 530 QSOs in 
that six hour period.  I think my best hour was in the 130s.

One of those magic moments I'll never forget.  Wayne now has a fine
station on another mountain top, and N6MU beat me in a phone SS when
I did QRP from home five years ago.

As far as what happened this weekend, I was determined to not make
myself any weaker than I had to.  I was going to aggressively CQ
with one radio for the whole contest - and S&P with the other.  

At the start, I was very lucky to have good conditions on 10 meters.
Most big guns would have started on 15, but I knew the higher in
frequency I could be, the easier it would be for me to attract 
attention.  I didn't need to be working the whole country either, 
I just needed propagation somewhere - anywhere where there were
stations.  

The first hour netted me 83 QSOs - with 60 CQs answered on 10 meters
and 23 QSOs on 15 with the second radio.  I pretty much stayed on
10 with the CQ radio for the first two hours - switching to 15 at 
22:47.  During that time on 10, I was getting good results to the
west coast and the northeast.  Begin able to have 4/4 to the NE and
4/4 to the NW at the same time was very useful.  

15 picked up pretty much where 10 left off.  I spent some time with
the second radio picking off the loud guys who were CQing on 10.  
By switching the run radio and second radio, it was like starting 
the contest all over again.  My second hour was 74 and the third
hour was 67 - 224 QSOs and I hadn't touched 20 meters yet.

The second radio moved to 20 at 0012Z where it made its 71st QSO.
The rate on 15 was still good - I had 39 QSOs in the 00Z hour and
35 there in the 01Z - all CQing.

When 15 started slowing down - I made a good decision and avoided 
trying to CQ on 20 meters.  One of the things I have learned about
W5WMU is to never underestimate what you can do on 40 meters.  One
year, my 20 meter coax fried in the first 10 minutes, and I went to
40 after a 30 minute break.  The result?  Over 1000 QSOs on 40 and 
my second victory.  I held my breath, and moved the CQ radio down 
to 40 meters and found a clear spot down in the bottom 10 kHz of
the band.

Would anyone hear me?  Would that 40 meter beam that was twisted
by Lili do the job?

Oh yeah.

My 02Z hour was 72 - with 61 QSOs on 40 meters and 9 second radio
QSOs on 20.  In the 03Z hour, I moved the second radio down to 80 
and chased the W9s (to whom I hadn't had much of a chance to work
yet and they were having a very tough time with the aurora).  

I think the aurora really helped me - as the transcontinental signals
were down and I was far enough south to have a direct path to both
coasts.

03Z netted 42 QSOs on 40 and 36 for each of the two hours after that.  

I felt like I lost focus some and took a break in the 06Z hour,
which had only 17 QSOs in it.  Getting back on 40 resulted
hours of 46 and 38 (with about a quarter of those coming from
the second radio on 80).  I went to bed at 0900Z with 674 QSOs
in the log - pretty much where I had hoped to be.

After three hours of sleep, I got back on 40 and 80 and kept 
going.  However, after about 30 minutes, I pretty much had worked
80 meters out and 40 was starting to slow down...  After 3 minutes
of CQing with no results, I boldly decided to go to 20 meters 
and try CQing there.  I heard one or two signals on the band, and
they were pretty loud.  There wasn't enough activity to S&P, 
so I called CQ at 12:37 and got called by AJ1E in EMass with a 
big signal  I think I was on 14009 or so.  I worked a QSO on
40 with the sceond radio, and then VE1ZJ called me on 20 and 
then K1VDF in Ct.  This band was wide open to the Northeast 
and it didn't seem like anyone else was on the band.  In the 
last 23 minutes of the 12Z hour, I had 11 QSOs on 20.  Not great,
but it was good production for the second day of the SS.  The
overall hour came in at 44 - a total any B power station would be
happy with at this point in the contest.

The 13Z hour was magic on 20 - with 33 answers to my CQs to go 
with 14 second radio QSOs on 40.  This is also when VO1HE called
me on 20 to give me the last mult I would get.  This really saved
me from getting burnt later on trying to bust through VO1MP's 
pileup.  

During the 14Z hour, 20 started getting crowded and it was
time to move to 15 and hope that the same kind of thing would
repeat itself.  15 came through with 28 answers to my CQs in 
the 14Z hour to go with 12 second radio QSOs on the second 
radio.  That adds up to 40 - another great hour.

I pretty much hung out on 15 for most of the daytime.  I would
use a 30 minute break here and there to give the band a chance
to recover with fresh stations to work.  As the day wore on, my
second radio production started to fall off.  I just kept tuning 
over the same stations over and over again.  I did manage 50 second
radio QSOs in the last 6 hours, but only 12 in the last 3.  That
was one of the surprises for me - is that this high of a percentage
of my QSOs would come from CQing in the last 3 hours.  The second
radio did pick up in the last hour, when it seemed that a lot of
new stations showed up on the bands.

My average rate for the afternoon was just over 30 QSOs an hour.
There were many times were nobody would answer me for 4 or 5 
minutes, but then I would get 2 or 3 stations calling in and that
would set me up for another dry spell.

Around 0100Z, I had 1069 QSOs and a big storm blew in.  I used up
my last off time and went outside to watch the rain.  I got back
on at 0131 on 20 meters, rain static and all, to see if I could 
get some rate going.  That first 30 minutes yielded only 10 QSOs.
There is a gap of 13 minutes in the log with nothing.  Finally,
K7SS called me and woke me up.  However, the next 30 minutes 
only yielded 8 QSOs!!  A 7 minute and a 8 minute gap showed up.
I tried CQing on 40, and would get one or two answers, and then
nothing.  I was really worried about having enough margin to 
break the record after log checking at this point.

Finally, around 0230, some new stations started showing up on
the bands.  Also, 20 meters seemed to settle a little for me
and I started getting a few answers.  The last 30 minutes yielded
18 QSOs - the same as the previous hour.  It felt wonderful to
crawl over 1100 QSOs (thanks to KM3T for calling in for #1100).  
I did spend the last 10 minutes CQing on 40 and had 4 stations 
answer to go with one QSO on 20 to end up at 1105.

Finally, it was time for a Corona and to tune in on 3830 to hear 
how the high power shootout went.

I feel I was lucky to pick a weekend to do this when conditions 
were poor for many people.  My geographical location played 
really well.  If conditions the first night had been more
like the conditions the second night, I think I would not
have had anywhere near the success I did.

In summary, the things that really worked well for me were:

- Able to CQ on 10 meters with results for two hours at the
start of the contest.

- Being able to avoid 20 meters for the first three hours of
the contest - and pretty much skipping it to go to 40.

- The endless answers to my CQs on 40.

- Good second radio production on 80.

- Fantastic production on 20 to start the morning.

- Crawling along on 15 during the day at around 30/hour.

About the only thing that didn't go well was those couple
of hours before things picked up right at the end.  If I
hadn't have had at least one break when the storm hit, it
would have been much worse.

I also never heard VY1JA - so that was a missed multiplier.

So there you have it - the long story.  The radios were the
same TS850s I used last year.  I checked their wattermeters
against a bird slug and they ended up the power control all
the way down, and the carrier between 11 O'clock and 12
O'clock (depended on the band and match).  It would have been
nice to have done this with my K2, but I am not quite 
comfortable enough yet with it to use it in a major contest.

See http://www.kkn.net/~tree/gallery for the pictures.

And thanks for all of the QSOs!

That's obscene!

Is the ARRL actually tossing uniques because they're uniques now?  I 
haven't been keeping up with the state of the super-duper-log-
checking.  I remember CQ reports them, but I don't think they remove 
them just because they're unique.

Please tell me the ARRL isn't doing that now...if they are, it just 
gives me one more reason to be upset with the League.

Sigh,

Lee

Hmmm...when I learned the code, and 8 months later, when I passed the 
20 wpm Extra code test, I didn't do it because of any commercial or 
military viability.  I just wanted my ham ticket.  That was incentive 
enough.  And I had no desire to operate code at that time...it was 
only after I had gained a reasonable degree of proficiency that I

It's the best incentive...but I'm odd anyway...I took the CPA exam

Wrong.  A "unique" is a good QSO unless proven otherwise.  Why is that 
concept so hard to grasp?

Just this evening, Tree addressed this issue ...

"But - just to be clear - no uniques are removed without being judged
to be a busted callsign."

and

"Uniques are not removed from any log without being identified as
a busted callsign."

Our FQP log checking procedures are exactly the same.  If a "unique" 
cannot be verified to be busted, it stays in the log.

Having played around with log checking software, I know that "uniques" 
can easily be tossed from the log, and doing so, would certainly speed 
up the log checking process.  Verifying "uniques" as valid is probably 
more time consuming, than keying in paper logs or fixing non-Cabrillo 
log formats.

So why bother with checking "uniques"?  Because every QSO you make, 
should be worth the effort spent making it ... and not having your 
efforts go to waste because a piece of software arbitrarily toss it from 
your log.

Interesting story.  Yet, I always felt that W3EEE was a really effective call 
on cw, especially with the way he uses a very short pause after each E.

was W0QQQ from

I thought Tree just categorically dealt with that, when he said that ONLY 
if a unique was shown to be a busted call would it get tossed.  Tree knows

Lee,

You can relax.  Tree cited the only two contests (neither of which are
involved in this discussion) that require both logs to be submitted and show
all qsos correctly for either to count.

Please understand that uniques are only identified as such by ARRL & CQWW -
THEY ARE NOT REMOVED FROM YOUR LOG !

Uniques are innocent until proven guilty. Read that again.

Tree, who writes the software and performs the log checking, made it clear
MANY times in his post that uniques are only tossed if they are proven to be
busted. No offence intended to anybody, but do consider the source on these
matters.

The only way they can be proven to be busted is if at the same time you
claim to have worked KV4Z, K4VZ claims to have worked you or KV4Z has no
record of a Q with you or other corroborating evidence that proves you got
the call wrong.

If I got on Sunday afternoon and worked one person, that would be a unique,
but would stand. If you busted my call to VE4XY, even that would stand
unless I sent in a checklog for one QSO (like, how likely is that?). If I
worked 100, 99 of whom got my call correctly, the QSOs would stand for all
100, even the guy who busted my call UNLESS I sent in a checklog, and even
though the preponderance of circumstantial evidence suggests that station
busted my call. But circumstantial evidence is not enough.

Now, let's say I don't work anybody, and 100 other stations don't work
anybody. If our 101 callsigns show up in someone's log, that's suspicious.
Possibly suspicious enough that the log checkers would attempt to contact
us. If we say we were not operating in that contest and did not work
anybody, those 101 Qs would likely be tossed. (Should there be a DQ?
Probably.)

But there needs to be proof to toss uniques, even in the above example.

Innocent until proven guilty. Clear?

This is a post, that IMHO, may play well among the superstation crowd but
would get little support from those of us with more modest stations.

Randy's station probably does not qualify for superstation status, but he
certainly has an impressive array of aluminum even so.

The thing about A vs. B is that A lets people break into the Top 10 even
with a TA33 at 42 feet and a G5RV at 35 (me, last year, @ ve4yu). I wouldn't
have had a hope in B, or in a new A without B. A-class is still very
competitive, but squeezing all the Big Guns into A, I think, would act as a
disincentive to some ops.

I think the A vs. B distinction is important for reasons that go beyond any
need for power.

I like WB0O's Top 20 suggestion more than I like the idea of eliminating B,
but I think that Top 20 would then become mandatory if you wiped out B.

I am afraid my understanding of "uniques" has been in error. I was
under the impression they were automatically removed from the log
simply because they appeared in the UBN.
Apparently, such is not the case, unless further evidence is present.

With some really excellent help from Tree, I think I now understand
and apologize if I

I read Tom's post before Tree's.  Had I read Tree's first, I most 
likely wouldn't have posted a reply.  Read that again.

That being said, I have been burned in the past by the super-duper 
log checking routines myself, so I'm fairly sensitive about the 
potential of having QSOs removed when they are, in fact, valid.

Ever since these guys started talking about this super-duper log 
checking and introduced terms such as "unique QSO", there has been 
talk of someday removing uniques.  It should never happen.

I do consider Tree to be a fine individual, that's not in question.  

I do question the super-duper log checking process though.

Consider first, that this is a hobby - at least it is for me.

Consider that I, and 95% (guess) of the others involved would not 
manufacture contacts for the sake of increasing their score.  

Consider that everyone makes errors in copying from time to time, and 
errors in sending also - even when using a computer for sending CW, 
due to computer hiccups, RFI, whatever.

Consider that the process is rife for sabotage.

> But there needs to be proof to toss uniques, even in the above example.

How about this for a scenario...VE4XT works AA4GA, who makes 100 QSOs 
and sends in a log.  AA4GA's computer or VOX hiccuped and sent his 
call as AA4GT.  That happened when VE4XT logged him (as AA4GT).  
After log checking, wouldn't the QSO be removed from VE4XT's log?  

> Innocent until proven guilty. Clear?

Wasn't VE4XT just proven of being guilty in the previous example?  
Was he guilty?  Clearly.

How about this for a slightly off-topic, but related scenario...VE4XT 
works AA4GA, who makes 100 QSOs and sends in a log.  AA4GA remembers 
back to the last contest when VE4XT "stole" his frequency and decides 
to not log the QSO.  After log checking, wouldn't the QSO be removed 
from VE4XT's log?  Isn't he being penalized for something he didn't 
do?

So, you see, this whole log checking process, while possibly well-
intentioned, just doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling.  I'm pretty 
sure most of the folks involved in it will admit that it's not 100% 
accurate, but that the error is acceptable.  I don't agree, that's 
all.

I haven't checked out the pictures yet, but large coax would of

Hello Contesters,

Thank you for participating in the 2002 California QSO Party!
The deadline for CQP log submissions is Friday, November 15.

Please send your electronic log to:
cqp@contesting.com

Logs in Cabrillo format would be great, but if your software logger
does not support Cabrillo output for CQP, we will gladly accept
ARRL format logs (along with summary sheets) or virtually
any log in text format!  We also accept paper logs.

Be sure to include your club name on your entry if you
want to help your club to get that new non-CA club plaque!

For more details on submitting your CQP entry, please see:

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Not quite that pure
Message-ID: <000c01c288fe$7cc744e0$457ef3d8@n7df>

I have several times had legitimate QSOs struck from my logs where a true 
unique was considered a busted call because a station with a nearly identical 
call to the one I worked as a unique sent his call in.

I sometimes get on and just work one or two of my friends in a contest but 
don't bother sending in a log.  If N7DM, for example, is on in that contest and 
works three or four people but doesn't send in his log either, then it's very 
likely the QSOs I made will be shown as busted calls rather than uniques.  To 
prevent this I usually try to work at least three other stations in other 
categories that I am sure will send in their logs.

As a check in a recent major contest where I made well over 1500 QSOs I 
recorded the entire contest on LP video tapes with a digital clock in the 
video, my audio on one track and the received audio on the other track.  I 
played back the entire contest and verified 100% of my contacts deleting all 
log entries where there was any doubt of the two way QSO.  When I checked  the 
log analysis results I still had nearly 2% of my contacts disallowed as busted 
calls and only 11 unique calls listed.  I went back and reconfirmed the 
contacts where the QSOs were shown as busted and every contact was clearly 
identified as the station I had in the log.

I don't think any system will be 100% accurate but I think there are still too 
many chances for losing legitimate QSOs.  I wonder if something like the 
Super-Check-Partial could look at past contest activity and prevent calls being 
shown as busted if they showed up in past contests.

Perhaps someone can explain what the log checkers would do with this one.  
Let's say WC4E is on in a contest (NAQP or SS for example), but I don't work 
him.  However, I do work WC4I who is trolling across the band and works me 
because he knows me, but works no one else.  He doesn't send in a log, and 
either does WC4E.  How do the log checkers handle that unique in the log I 
sent in.....valid QSO, possible busted, or what?

I may see more of this than others, but it does seem that some of the DXing
crowd can be a little impatient for their QSLs & may not entirely appreciate
things from the DX side, especially if the DX station does his own cards.

There also seems to be a tendency for folks in that group to believe that
QSLs make it possible for the DX station to give up his or her day job, which
is absolute bollocks.

Thanks to N5NJ for putting me in touch with KC5TJG - which is what started
this thread: he received my QSL okay.

Can you be more specific about which contest?  The situation you describe
wouldn't result in QSOs being removed in most of the contests I know about.

Well, I hope this wasn't a competitive log as most people feel that listening
to a tape and checking the information after the contest is not in the 
spirit of the contest.

Again, I would like to know specifics.  What contest?  What were the 
callsigns?  I will do what I can to understand what the story is and
report back.

You have two things confused:

1.  If you logged 5C8N and HC8N shows a QSO with you at the same date/time, 
that is a busted call.

2.  If you logged AC1D and you are not in AD1C's (submitted) log at that 
date/time, and AC1D did not send in a log, then you either worked a unique 
call, or AD1C didn't log you (not in log).  This is different from the 
busted call example in #1 above.

Hi Richard
Have a look at the following page from Don, AA5AU, who did a fair bit of
investigation on this subject.
http://www.aa5au.com/usb.html
I have used several of the usb/serial type cables costing about ?25 and they
all work well for rig control and keying.  They DO NOT cope with sending and
receiving FSK very well so be wary if that is your application.

Simple.  Since your example contest, NAQP or SS, has the state/section 
as part of the exchange, the log checker will check what you logged, 
WC4E=FL or WCF and WC4I=KY.  If both of these are logged correctly, 
you'll get credit for both QSO's.

It "may" not be as simple for other contests without states/section or 
other identifying exchange information.  In this case, it's back to if 
it can't be proven to be bad, then it should be counted as a good QSO.

This is also a good argument to SEND IN A LOG ... no matter how big or 
small.  The more logs there are to work with, the more accurate the log 
checking process can be.

Hi to all,
Thanksgiving will find me in Northern Indiana. We'll head back to Tennessee 
on Saturday.
If I can get on while traveling home should I sign K4BEV/M and then K4BEV 
once I arrive; or just sign K4BEV the entire contest (skipping the mobile 
part)? Or just forget trying to work the contest in the car?
The reason I'm asking this is because the /Ms seem to get attention when S&P 
and it would also explain my asking for even more fills than usual (hi).
On the other hand I may be better off just waiting till Sunday to play. 
Mobile pretty much restricts me to 20m trying to work DX with the antenna I 
have for my XYL's car.
How would you handle this?
At least I'll be in Zone 4 the entire time. We almost went to my brother's 
which would have had me starting in 5 and ending up in 4, which may have been 
interesting.

DUH!
I'm not sure which date I had confused - The contest's or Thanksgiving's.
In any event -- Problem Solved.
AND I won't be wondering if my radio is broken on the way home.

Get a Belkin F5U103.  I've had dismal failures with two other adaptors, 
and then found this one mentioned on AA5AU's RTTY website.  Seems to 
work with about any software.  You can even set up to work in a DOS 
window, name the com port, assign an IRQ, and run with DOS loggers like NA.

Message-ID: <00b301c289a1$ede2d100$27d7fea9@mirage>

Does anyone out there in contest land know if there is going to be a Kansas QSO 
Party in January of 2003?  The Web site from 2002 - 
www.ksarrl.net/qso/2002ksqso.htm - doesn't work and emails to last year's 
sponsor go unanswered.

Sorry I'm a few days late on this one.

I don't agree, especially since many actual copying mistakes have this exact
symptom.  I think this should be a wake-up to the transmitting station to
pay attention to what his computer is saying about him.

There is at least one program out there which is smart enough to compensate
for most situations where some other programs could send the unintended
number.  It is user-configurable to send the number of the last QSO under
these circumstances.  It works good, but the bottom line is listen to your
own code, and don't cause someone else to get dinged becuase of your own
errors.

I don't like loosening up the accuracy requirements just to compensate for
lazy operating.

Or did I miss something and it has always been this way?

Mark, N5OT

Is it true that the League is coming out with a Top-11 box?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

However, he did not catch that neither station (WC4I or WC4E) submitted a
log in your example.

In your scenario, since no logs were submitted that could prove that you did
not work WC4I, WC4I would just be marked as a Unique in your log, and no
credit lost for the QSO.

Dear Contesters,

Please check the CQ WW web page at http://www.cqww.com to see that your log 
was received at ssb@cqww.com. Besides your call, your category is listed.

The CQ WW Contest Committee wants to thank the thousands of contesters who 
have successfully transitioned to the Cabrillo format. By submitting a 
Cabrillo log you not only insure any errors that we might make are greatly 
reduced, you also make the work of the CQ WW Contest Committee much easier. 
Thank you!

If you have not submitted a log for the SSB CQ WW please do not be 
intimidated by Carbillo, we will help you out if you need help. By submitting 
your log no matter how small (we have already received logs with 1 and 2 
QSO's), you will make the CQ WW better for everyone.

The CQ WW CW records have been updated through 2001.

Message-ID: <001901c289dd$1147efa0$0100a8c0@joe>

Greetings all,

I will once again be authoring the writeup for next weekend's contest for
QST. There won't be line scores but there will be more space for story and
pictures. I need your help.

I'll be up to my elbows in SS myself, and the Gulfstream II is in the shop,
so I won't be able to fly around collecting photos. So please try to keep in
mind that every good magazine article needs some good pictures to go with
it. If you have a digital camera, or a means to digitize photos, please try
to have someone take some snaps. (Multiops, especially, should have no
trouble finding someone to press the shutter release.)

Here's what I'd like:
1. Candid photos of humorous situtations during the contest or during set-up
or take-down periods. It would be great if these were situations aside from
obvious op-at-radio shots.
2. Portrait-like photos: if you have a sneaking suspicion you're in Top 10
in any category, please try to have a photo of yourself, perhaps in all your
post-contest, unshaven (or otherwise depending on gender), stressed-out
glory, smiling into the camera with the station used in the background.
3. Artsy photos: close-up of your FT1000 Mk V tuning knob and readout;
time-delay exposure of your aluminum farm with the stars moving across the
sky; etc. Be creative. Please, only those radios or antenna farms used for
SS, but arsty pics need not be taken during the contest.

Technical specs: publishing electronic photos to magazine-like quality
requires considerable resolution. But the details aren't that complicated.

Resolution: 300 dpi
Size: eight inches on the long side.
File size: should be about 600 kB or larger. (Don't hesitate to send larger
files.)

E-mail your photos to my work address: kelly.taylor@freepress.mb.ca

I will likely get more pix than I need, so I will offer what I don't send to
QST to contesting.com, if they would like them.

73, kelly

It was more of a general statement to everyone to submit a log ... even 
if it's just a checklog.

For more reading on log checking, UBN reports, and how uniques are 
handled, check out http://www.cqww.com/ubn-nil.html

Might be "old news" to some ... but might help others.

Hi Richard,

I'm using a USB-> Serial adapter. I got it from the local
PC dealer. I can't tell you exactly the brand, but it
wasn't a popular company.

The adapter is working great. I'm using it for radio
controlling (TS850 or FT1000) with my notebook.

Even CW Out in comination with writelog is working
great on the serial adapter.

Zoli, HA1AG is describing on his webpage at QSL.NET
a PCMCIA controller which supplies you 4 (!) serial
Ports for quite a good prize ( I believe it was less
than $50). But I couldn't find a german dealer
who's selling the adapter.

My experience:

Bad calls that are not sometimes get removed from your log.  I have QSLs & even
a copy of the license of one station which had been deemed to be bad calls in
CQ WW.

Do not hesitate to approach CQ WW committee about such calls.  They are
reasonable.  However, expect them to put some extra effort to turn other Us 
into
Bs as a result of your effort to convince them that some Bs were Us - end 
result: not
worth the effort.

Uniques _are_ removed from CQ WW RTTY logs.

Since RTTY isn't a "real" mode, this should not worry most here.

I really don't understand why the RTTY log checkers think that they're in their
own little world when it comes to log checking.  Witness the fiasco about
marking QSOs with UA9S stations as invalid when the UA9S sent Zone 17 instead
of Zone 16 which is what the log checking software expected.  *EVEN THOUGH
EVERYONE COPIED THE SAME ZONE FROM HIM!*

I don't understand why they can't look outside of their opaque bubble and learn
how these problems are dealt with in the real world.

Really?

That doesn't seem like a fair application of the process.  Is this 
what CQ says, or is it supposition based on human nature, i.e. "Oh 
yeah, I'll show him"?

> end result: not worth the effort. 

That's been my experience with trying to reason with them over the 
log-checking process.

Well - which is more fair?

1. A non-automated process applied unevenly to a few logs. (This is the
old method of log checking before about 12 years ago).

2. An automated process that is evenly applied to all logs without any 
special consideration given to any log.

3. An automated process applied to all logs, and a few of them get special
consideration where each possible questionable judgement is challenged
without any possibility of an equal amount of attention given to possible
errors that could result in the score being reduced?

Most log checking processes I know of will default to give credit unless some 
criteria for busting the QSO is met.  The criteria should be sufficient to have
a high degree of confidence that a call is wrong.  In some cases, the wrong
decision might be made (when some number of improbable events line up). 

However, it should be even more likely that there will be callsigns that are
really bad - but the checking process was unable to determine what the bad
callsign was...  and therefore it was counted as a good QSO with a unique 
callsign.  Some manual work on the part of the log checker can probably 
figure out what the busted call is - but they don't have time to do this
for all logs - so it gets done for none (except maybe for a pair of logs
that are very close in the results).

For example, in the ARRL DX contest - the log checking really stinks.  I 
would estimate that only about 25 percent of errors made are detected by
the program.  Also, maybe one out of 100 of the bad calls is really good...
so the process isn't perfect.  However, I would argue that it is effective.

Trying to improve the error detection in the ARRL contest will result
in a significant increase in the false bust rate - which I think would
be too high to defend.  

I think that applying this process to all logs - without special consideration
is the most fair way to use it.  When someone comes up with a case where
the wrong decision was made...  I will look to see if a process change can
be made to address that specific case - which can then be used to re-run all
of the logs.

I think the important point to take away from this is that the first objective
of the log checking process is to make sure the order of finish is correct.
In other words, that the right person is winning the contest.  I think having
a totally defendable 100 percent correct log checking report is not the goal.

In the NBA - no ref gets all of the calls right.  However, they tend to get 
most of them right and the errors tend to average out (and this coming from a 
Portland Trailblazer fan no less).

It wouldn't be fair to let one of the teams challenge each call that goes
against them without the other team having the same opportunity.

As far as AA4GA's comment about log checkers not being willing to work
with him - I would sure like to know which contest that was for??  CQ WW?
What specifically was the problem?  I don't believe this is the normal
experience for people who approach them.

Forgot all about UA9S - I should check these things more closely, but when 
I see
a mainland China zone 23 contact in my log thrown out because I logged what the
station sent & that station sent the correct zone as bits of mainland China are
indeed in zone 23, I need not look further.

Obviously, official calls are not available for some countries.
However, the US, JA, and most of Eu do have official databases.

Just taking the US alone, I can download the latest FCC database,
filter it to remove some calls, and then have a perfectly reliable
database of good US calls. Now, reverse engineer it, and you have a
database of calls which are not issued. Run every US call in the logs
against this database, and you have a clear idea of "busts".

If you limited the database to 4 and 5 letter calls, it's even more
ridiculously simple.

Yes, it was CQWW.

> What specifically was the problem?  

I've discussed the situation several times here on the reflector, but 
Tree must not have noticed...besides having a life, he's been 
teaching computers how to compare logs.

Basically, I had a multiplier removed because the other station 
failed to log a QSO.

> I don't believe this is the normal experience for people who approach

It was in this case.

Tree has, however, assured me that the log-checking procedures have 
been changed such that in a similar circumstance today, the 
multiplier would not be removed from my log.

That does show progress.  Further progress would include penalties 
for the offending station.  

The CQWW log-checkers don't claim 100% accuracy.  They're too smart 
to do that.  *I* certainly don't have the answer.  I do know that it 
doesn't sit well with me when I'm on the receiving end of an 
"acceptable" injustice.

First, I'm not sure how/why any RTTY log checking should be of any interest
to some of those subscribed to "this here" reflector, as you have so stated
so well, "RTTY isn't a real mode"! I admire any/all log checkers, and have
very little interest as to how the logs are checked, as long as the same
process is applied to all logs! I believe that is being done! I'm sure there
is "room for improvement", just as I'm sure that "improvement" will come?

My experience with the CQWW guys agrees with Tree's assessment.  They were
polite and willing to explain in detail what had happened.  Perhaps it
depends on how you approach the issues with them.

I walked away from several email exchanges having even more confidence in
their log checking.

Seems to me that what Tree said was that the most important thing is 
uniformity of treatment.

If you lose a mult when you are sure you had a QSO, but the QSO is not in 
the other station's log, then there are a variety of possible explanations 
reflecting culpability on the part of either station .  In CQWW, without 
serial numbers or any variable in the exchange, there's no solid way to 
tell if he didn't log you, or you thought you worked him when he was 
working someone else.

Which log-checking/penalty approach is chosen is always arguable, and can 
evolve from year to year.  It seems to me it's very important that we all 
have a clear expectation of being treated the same at any given time.  That 
way, if the problem is, for example, stations that don't log domestic QSOs 
in CQWW, we can put all sorts of social pressure on them to quit this 
despicable practice.

Not a good idea.  For example ...

Most stations will log me as WD4AHZ ... some log me as WD4ASZ.

WD4AHZ WAS in the contest ... WD4ASZ was not, but is a legitimate call.

Using your method, WD4ASZ would be "good" ... even though it's an 
obvious "bust"?  Is THIS how you want the logs scored?

It's made even worse if I don't send in a log for cross-checking purposes.

  Seems as though a lot of folks don't remember the days
prior to computer logging.
  It was a system that was easily manipulated, since not all
logs were checked.
  I get dinged as well as most others, but it is still a

Not at all. The log checking program in its present form would find
the "bust" when compared against your log, and I commend you for
sending it in. Those who logged WD4ASZ would unfortunately get credit.

But, I think you have missed the point. The purpose I proposed will
not help in the above problem, but ( and I am assuming the following
calls are not issued ), if someone logged you WB4AHZ, and that call is
not issued, they get a bust without any doubt. And there are numerous
other combinations of your call which may or may not be issued.

My suggestion was to make it a 100% certainly that a call which is not
issued, for example my old call in 1955, K4DJC, will generate a
guaranteed bust.

Just for fun, I removed all but the calls from my 2002 SSCW log, and
the wrote a short program which compared my log against the actual
database. It found 2 calls which were not issued. I then checked them
against my Buckmaster CDROM, and on QRZ.com and all 3 confirmed that
no such call had been issued.

And yes, after a couple of friendly arguments with the robot, I had
submitted my log BEFORE i did this.

I am in Spokane during the Sweepstakes weekend.  Anyone need a robust voice 
at a multi-op or have a station sitting idle that a guest op could settle 
into?  I am willing to travel over EWA & northern ID.

        For zones 3, 4, and 5, I prefer a twist on the dreaded Field Day "please
copy" exchange:

R PSE LOG 5NN T3

        This presumes the op on the other end can/will copy plain language at 
his
sending speed in an exchange. That's not always the case.

Obviously there are a variety of reasons why a QSO would not appear in the
other station's log.  

While I think it's unlikely this reason was what happened to Lee, I can
think of at least one situation where the not-in-log-real-QSO *should* cost
someone a mult..  And yes, I'm about to bring back up a past debate...

Specifically, when someone's running without IDing with reasonable
frequency.

It is of course quite common in some contests to encounter people running
without IDing after every QSO.  When I run across an ending QSO, if I don't
*know* the running station is a dupe, (i.e., they didn't ID) I'll dump in my
call.  If the running station comes back, I say "CALL? 5NN 04".  Usually,
the response is something like "TU DX0XD".  However...

Sometimes the response is simply "TU".  I'll sit around for another QSO
(maybe more if they sent Zone 26<grin>) but if they haven't IDd by then, the
QSO is scratched.  

Now it's very unlikely anybody's going to lose their W or Zone 4 multiplier
that way!  It will show up as a bad QSO in the log-checking process.

And IMHO it should.  You obviously can't have a valid QSO if both operators
don't know each other's callsigns.

There are several things that should be considered when, through one method or 
another, you know for certain that you worked a particular station  but the log 
checking process showed the QSO as a unique, busted call or not in log:

1.  The other guy may have sent his call wrong.

2. There may be a pirate using someone else's call or a fictional call.

3.  Someone may accidentally send someone else's call instead of his.  This is 
possible in some logging programs. (i.e. in CT hit F5 instead of F4)

4. The station that actually came back to you was someone other than the 
station you were calling.  This happens a lot as I have confirmed by replaying 
tapes of QSOs.

5.  You may have typed the other station's call wrong.

6.  The other guy may have typed your call wrong.

7. The other guy may have accidentally erased your call from his log.

8.  You may be depending on a packet spot for the other guy's call and it is 
wrong on the Packet spot.

9.  Gremlins may have invaded your head and you are imagining things.

Remember E equals I times R is not just a good idea.  IT'S THE LAW!!!

If the log checking process declares calls as bad despite my receiving
requests for QSLs from those stations, or because VU3s do not exist, or
seemingly on a hunch (a VS6 portable DU _must_ be dodgy), I & perhaps
others are being docked for perfectly valid Qs.

On the first pass, all Us that were -Bs were identified as such.  To go back
later & decide more Us were in fact -Bs is not only counterproductive (by
discouraging bringing anything up to begin with), but also begs the question
why they weren't called -Bs the first time around.

Dock me for my mistakes.  But docking me for other stuff when there may not
be much room for improvement as I strive to work my way up the CQ WW
Honor Roll isn't on.

Looking forward to seeing if submitting entries with a dozen or two Qs at most
solves this - it should also do wonders about those pesky QSLs.  ;^)

Not deleting uniques, being a bit more cognizant of where bits of the world
are - perhaps even considering what has been developed over the years
for log checking in mainstream contests?

If you are after setting a record or competing at the continental level, you
too might begin to wonder what's the point of struggling to work some
weak guy that may be deleted from your log as he didn't work enough other
stations during the contest....

Otherwise, I agree with Shelby's get-on-&-have-fun approach.

Your idea would give credit for WD4ASZ, and any other "issued" 
combination of my busted call, which I disagree with.

The "current" log checking process, would "ding" WD4ASZ, WB4AHZ, and any 
other combination that cannot be verified (not issued, busted as 
verified by comparing logs, etc.)

I fail to see how your idea would improve log-checking ... it'll allow 
more "bad" QSO's to be counted, which is NOT the point of log-checking.

First, Most uniques stay in the final log.  Only one contest removes uniques
and if you don't like that write or e-mail the sponsor and then if no
results don't work the contest!

Years ago the process was to cross check as many as the checkers had time
and remove dupes that were not removed (when found).   Don N4IN is generally
given credit for identifying uniques and starting to take action.   He would
enter all calls in a file on a TRS-80 and list out by call each unique.
However he did not remove uniques.  He did this for two reasons...1.
Because he had the time 2. Some DX had far more uniques that the rest of the
contestants.  This also gave him a second layer of cross checks.

What the modern log checking has evolved into is two layers of testing...

1.    Cross checking all contacts no matter how large or small the log for
logs received and
        in electronic format.  Having one format such as cabrillo makes this
easy on the                 checkers plus gets the results done faster!

2.    All uniques and busts are then identified and the resulting file for
the contest contains the checked log along with all UBN's.  N or not in log
are removed and penalty applied.
B or busts are identified by fuzzy logic which has been proven to be
accurate.  These are removed as many are dupes.  Uniques are checked and at
least in my checking most are
left are pure uniques but some are marked for review by the log checkers in
the file.  If a log is clean with no exceptions the log is made final.  The
exceptions noted are reviewed by several criteria.  They are good unless
proven bad by the checkers.  The checkers make final changes to the logs and
the final file is made ready for reporting.

What has happened is all the logs are now given equal and fair treatment.
At least in the CQ 160 Contests the final scores are thus more fair and
accurate.  I think the ARRL and the CQ WW contests are the same way.

Now if we can find a way to make sure a log is received.  Every year several
who claim to have send a hand log don't get in and the same for e-logs.
Some e-logs just get lost.  If they are not on archive at the robot or in my
e-mail log files I have no way to know if the contestant sent one.  The
final court is to get a copy of the robot reply with the log number.  Every
year one or two can't show this thus they get left out.

Larry has pointed out a bunch of situations that may result in 
NIL...here are my comments on 'em:

Since the pirate is probably not going to send in a log, it most 
likely wouldn't result in a ding.

> 3.  Someone may accidentally send someone else's call instead of his.

Then the QSO should not be removed from my log.  It is an error of 
the sending station...but similar to #2 in that there probably won't 
be a ding due to no log sent in under the wrong call.

Yes it does, and probably both stations should be penalized, as the 
QSO was not properly completed.  That's not what happened in my case 
BTW.

> 5.  You may have typed the other station's call wrong. 

If I typed the other station's call wrong, I should get dinged.  But 
my understanding of the software is that it is smart enough to 
determine that that is what happened and righteously removes the QSO 
and assesses the appropriate penalty...assuming it was a fairly 
simple typo.

> 6.  The other guy may have typed your call wrong. 

Then he should get dinged.  Again, I think the software will likely 
flag that.

> 7. The other guy may have accidentally erased your call from his log. 

Then *he* should be penalized, not me.

> 8.  You may be depending on a packet spot for the other guy's call and
> it is wrong on the Packet spot. 

No one should rely on a packet spot to get a callsign.  You should be 
assessed double the normal penalty for logging a call based on a spot 
rather than copying the call....no that couldn't be enforced 
equitably either.

> 9.  Gremlins may have invaded your head and you are imagining things. 

If that's the case, then I should be dinged.  While that may happen, 
in my situation, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case.

So there are lots of situations where it's not so cut-and-dried.  
Yet, with a "rule" that says if you're NOL you're automatically SOL, 
in some cases the offending station is not penalized, and the 
innocent party is.

That's why I don't like it.  Plus, it happened to me.

Oh well...that's just the way it is.

If it is truly unique it probably won't be.  You win on this one, or at
least break even.

A fictional call, as in one that is not issued at all, will be a b- and
be removed with penalty.  If the call does exist but is not someone in
the contest again you probably break even and get the qso.  If they
happen to pick someone's call they just heard up the band in the
contest, and that participant doesn't work you so you are in their log,
again you lose with a nil that gets removed with penalty.

again, if this is actually the call of another participant who sends in
a log and you don't really work them, you lose with a nil and penalty.
If it's a call of someone who doesn't send in a log then you break even
and get the qso.

If the station that came back to you got your call and report, even
though you meant it for someone else and they log it, they will lose
because they are not in your log.  However if you accept their response
instead of the real station you were calling you will lose also as you
will log the exchange for a station you don't work so you are nil...  if
there is any doubt that the right station came back to you, you can try
to straighten it out by sending the call of the station you thought you
were calling before you send a report so the respondents know who it is
meant for.... or just call the station you really wanted to work again
and ignore the other guy... or work the other guy and then try to work
the one you really wanted again.... too many options here.

Simple typos (one letter off type of things) will be matched up so the
other guy doesn't lose credit when his log is checked against yours.
You could still lose credit if the call in your log ends up as bad or
nil.

Again, if he is close enough for the software to figure it out you will
get credit but he may lose.

Oh well, in this case you lose due to no fault of your own.  Not much
that can be done with this one.

I'll agree on this... always be sure you copy the other guys call,

"Oh well" is right.  As long as they administer the same rules to all
the logs hopefully it all evens out in the end.

On a slightly different vein...
Personally I don't like the way the cqww rtty logs get processed
differently than other cqww logs.  But after all it is a more demanding
mode that when done properly should result in fewer errors in the logs,
so it kind of makes sense to hold it to a higher standard.  I do believe
the zone discrepancy problem they had last year will be fixed in the
checking process this year.  And I hope they find some better way to
deal with 'uniques', there are always those 'nice guys' who get on and
work one or two of their friends and then go watch football because they
don't like contests... they should not cause their friends to be
penalized.

How do you propose the log checking computers detect this?

If the bootlegger were using the call of a station who was in the 
contest and who sent in a log, you'd get dinged.  Again, how would the 
log checkers ever detect what happened?

Like #1 and #2, the log checkers have no way to know this.

Do I need to say it again?  ;-) The log checking computer has no way to 
know this!  And, as with #1, #2, and #3,  without a tape recording, no 
one would.

This happens to EVERYONE.  That's sort of the point - blindly equal treatment 
of all.

Exactly.  There is no way to know this, yet the credit is removed 
blindly.  You are guilty if you can't prove yourself innocent.

<SIGH> I really don't understand how people can be so accepting of a 
process that penalizes them, while not penalizing the offending 
party, justified by "every one is treated the same way".

It's pretty obvious I'm one of the few who is offended by this.  Like 
I said before.  Oh well.  I'm still not happy with it, but there's 
nothing I can do about it.

Interesting thing about ARRL contests is this: none of these situations is
relevant.

Not entirely sure how detailed CQ rules are on this issue, but ARRL rules
provide no allowance for anything but the correct sending, receiving and
logging of callsigns and exchange information by both sides. If one side
fails, the letter of the rules state that both sides lose the contact. Now,
to be sure, the rules are not applied that stringently (if he busts your
exchange, you keep your Q, he loses his), but it IS what they say.

So if the other guy sends his call wrong, and you therefore copy the wrong
call correctly, the log checkers have only the rules to fall back on. They
don't know if you busted the copy or he busted the sending simply because
the rules do not provide for fault.

I would encourage anyone who doubts this to read the rules, ARRL General
Rules for HF Contests.  (Sec. 3.1, I believe.) You will not find anywhere in
those rules "...except for when one station sends the wrong call."

Computerized log checking simply applies the log-checking goal that has
ALWAYS existed to all logs, not just a select few. That goal is to ensure to
the best ability possible that the order of finishes is correct.

Log checking had far more warts in the pre-computer days than today. We just
didn't hear about them.

There are several things that should be considered when, through one method
or another, you know for certain that you worked a particular station  but
the log checking process showed the QSO as a unique, busted call or not in
log:

1.  The other guy may have sent his call wrong.

2. There may be a pirate using someone else's call or a fictional call.

3.  Someone may accidentally send someone else's call instead of his.  This
is possible in some logging programs. (i.e. in CT hit F5 instead of F4)

4. The station that actually came back to you was someone other than the
station you were calling.  This happens a lot as I have confirmed by
replaying tapes of QSOs.

5.  You may have typed the other station's call wrong.

6.  The other guy may have typed your call wrong.

7. The other guy may have accidentally erased your call from his log.

8.  You may be depending on a packet spot for the other guy's call and it is
wrong on the Packet spot.

9.  Gremlins may have invaded your head and you are imagining things.

Remember E equals I times R is not just a good idea.  IT'S THE LAW!!!

I'm going to have to disagree with Mark here.  Both CT and NA are
notorious for sending the wrong QSO number by 1.  TRLog probably
shares this characteristic.  This is especially true in multi-operator
situations such as my operation at N6VR in last week's SS CW.  But
even when operating as a single operator there are numerous scenarios
where CT and NA will send the wrong QSO number.  Automatically
penalizing either the receiving station or the transmitting station
for this would contribute nothing that advances the purposes that log
checking was intended for... It might, perhaps, automatically penalize
operators that use computers for logging or automatically penalize
multioperator stations.  I really don't believe this would contribute
to the contesting art.

Apparently, you would have every single NIL count as a valid QSO.

So why do log checking at all?

Uh, probably?  Perhaps it is a matter of opinion or perhaps it is
quantifiable.  I don't believe TRlog shares this characteristic.  I believe
TRlog is smarter than CT and NA and has been designed to minimize this
problem.

It would be interesting to me to know if anyone who checks their errors
against tape can say "oh yes, 19% of my errors are caused by this."  It
would then be interesting to compare this statistic to the software being
used to log.

Contesters,

I just program 2 message keys (TR) for # and # - 1, for fills.  All you 
have to do is remember whether you are S&P (# - !) or running (#).

If there is a better way to do this, someone please tell me.

Ron,
If you set AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT = TRUE (default is false) (this is 
available in the CtrlJ menu).....
[From the manual]
If you have programmed a S&P exchange that includes a QSO number, you might 
find yourself in the following situation: You have just logged a station, who 
is now asking for your report again. If you press F2, you will send the next 
QSO number, which will be one more than the one you sent the first time. To 
fix this problem, if you set AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT to TRUE and press F2 
when both the call and exchange windows are empty, the QSO number will be 
reduced by one.

Hope this helps.

I understand that one of the major contests' log-checkers are planning to 
test the "time machine" devices that were demoed at Dayton last year (I've 
lost the URL).  These gadgets record 80 kHz of any band, 6 hours at a time, 
on video tape, complete with timestamps.  Playback is through a receiver.

At least in theory, this technology would enable after-the-fact checking of 
every QSO.  I can see doing this in a situation where log checking decides 
the #1/#2 in a contest, but it seems to me that it would be way too 
time-consuming for much broader use.  I still think that treating all 
entrants the same, regardless of the details of the rules in a particular 
contest, is fundamental to a perception of fairness.  In that respect, the 
computer log-checking currently practiced by CQ and the ARRL remains the 
gold standard.

You don't even have to remember -- program the appropriate function key 
(CQF1 or S&PF1, for example), and the program will send the right one, 
depending on the mode it's in.

Hmmm...  I wouldn't be too quick to include TRLog with the other two 
logging programs. I have only operated multi-2 once and single op the rest 
of the time with TRLog but my UBN reports have NEVER shown a busted serial 
number by + or - 1 from the other station.

At any rate, if your station is spewing out erroneous serial numbers 
someone should be penalized; perhaps the software author? :-)

Yep.

AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT = TRUE

It's a beautiful thing.  Completely eliminates the problem of sending a
QSO number that's "off by one", and doesn't require the operator to think
about which button to push or, Heaven forbid, have to send something
manually.

As far as I know, Tree didn't patent this brilliant feature, so I wish the
other software writers would consider adopting a similar approach.

Quacks
I use NA and the only time that I've had a problem with the SN sent is when I 
hit the enter key before I have confirmed that proper SN has been recieved.  
when this happens it is necessary to make sure that the QSO under the cursor is 
the correct one, then NA sends the correct QSO SN.  I try and most of the time 
make sure that the correct SN has been sent.

I do operate 99.999% of the time with only 1 tx and Rx.  I suspect that some 
ops don't know how to use the software they have.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Log Checking - you guys are right
Message-ID: <3DD3745D.9649.452B21@localhost>

Based on all the traffic on the reflector and the private email I've 
been getting from many different folks, I have been convinced.  

Yes, I am missing the big picture, and the only way any of us should 
put any faith in the contest results is by having the logs checked as 
fully as possible.

If you're NIL, you should lose the QSO without exception.  It doesn't 
matter if you have audio tape or QSLs or notarized affadavits from 
the other station - the workload for the log checkers would be much 
too heavy to investigate the bad Qs.  If it was really a good QSO 
you're getting dinged for, well tough.

I think it should be taken farther though...if we're in for penny we 
should be in for a pound (isn't that the old saying?).  I'm saying 
don't do it halfway.  If you have any unique callsigns in your log at 
all, they should be removed unless the station with whom you are 
claiming credit sends in a log to corroborate the QSO.  After all, 
that's what precipitated this whole discussion.

We have software developed by the log checkers that can pretty much 
reconstruct a log for a station that does not send one in (for 
contests with meaningful exchanges of information - particularly a 
serial number)...with enough accuracy to prove whether or not a 
claimed QSO with the non-entering station is valid.  

Otherwise, I would suggest that if the other station does not send in 
a log, the credit should not be allowed for the QSO, because it is 
impossible to verify that such a QSO actually took place.  I think 
this should be implemented anyway for contests with no meaningful 
exchange, such as CQWW.

These changes are easy to do within the log-checking framework we 
have now.  It's actually somewhat easier, in that there would be no 
human intervention required to determine if Us should be converted to 
Bs.  The only thing to add would be a small routine to delete all 
calls for which there was no log submitted.  That should be pretty 
easy.

To do less is to lessen the integrity of the results.  Each and every 
QSO must be verified in some way or it should not count.  Anything 
less is indefensible.  

I have seen the light.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] A Higher Level of Unique
Message-ID: <00ba01c28bfa$9132b6e0$27d7fea9@mirage>

All the discussion about log checking and what transgressions shalt be dinged 
has omitted one aspect of the sport which I maintain is unique and should 
strongly color its adjudication.  Radio contesting consists of cooperative 
interactions between the participants.  It is not all of us shooting at 
individual targets or knocking each other down (well, mostly) or running ahead 
of everyone else.  The winners are the ones that have the most successful 
two-way exchanges of information with other participants.

Because of the two-way requirement, judging must be based on the satisfaction 
of that requirement by BOTH parties.  While you may bemoan the occasional 
incompetence of the other participant, that does not affect the requirement to 
complete and record a valid interaction.  In fact, this goes back to the 
original intent of contests as ways of enhancing communications skills of all 
involved.  

All of the scenarios put forth over the past couple of days, even though blame 
may not lie with the party which is ultimately penalized, are examples of a 
failure to complete the valid two-way exchange of information.

This does add an element of strategy in that I need to judge whether I am 
likely to have a valid exchange with someone that calls.  We have all told a 
very weak caller, "Later", when it becomes clear that we are unlikely to be 
able to copy their information.  If someone calls in using their new 
Vibro-Bugamatic and can't send the letter "E" correctly twice in a row, then I 
will probably not log or their QSO or log it with zero points.  The balance 
must be struck between risk of penalty and the desire for additional points - 
that's why we don't just blow off everyone that isn't Q5.

It is to the credit of the log checkers that ONLY in cases where it is clearly 
demonstrable that the QSO was invalid with a high degree of probability is 
credit removed for the QSO.  It is completely true that the penalty is not 
always assessed in strict compliance with the proportion of blame - just like 
in real life. (one of which we should all attempt to get)  It is also 
completely true that these methods are applied equally to all competitive 
entries and that the results are neither secret nor unchallengeable.  If a 
better methodology can be demonstrated that can be acheived with the limited 
resources available, then I think it would be considered.  Until then, the 
present methods are, as has been pointed out, the gold standard.

This reminds me of a great George Carlin-ism - "Isn't it amazing that everyone 
that drives faster than you is an idiot and everyone that drives slower is a 
moron?"

In the ongoing discussion about sending the serial number off by one and
getting in trouble, several other guys have done a good job of showing how
powerful and flexible TRlog is.  You have your choice of 3:

1. AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT = TRUE

2. #-1

3. Use the paddles wired through your serial port which send code with the
exact speed and weight of the program.  Standard equipment.  One of the nice
things about this, you old timers will remember you could stop your
electronic memory keyer by touching the paddle.  TR works this way.

But no matter what you use to make code, are we questioning whether it is or
is not the sender's responsibility to send the right #$%^ number, for
goodness sake?

I hope we are not questioning this.

I don't think this is a fair characterization at all.  I will not speak for 
CT or TR, but with NA there is a clear, definite logic as to the serial 
number sent:

THE SERIAL NUMBER SENT IS ALWAYS THE NUMBER OF THE QSO THE CURSOR IS ON

The problem comes when you've logged the QSO, and the station at the other 
end wants a repeat.  The correct way to do this is to MOVE BACK TO THAT QSO 
AND PRESS THE KEY TO SEND THE EXCHANGE.  However, some users don't do that 
- they just press the key (on the blank QSO line, since they just logged 
the QSO they are repeating) and hence send one higher than the number they 
should.

The answer to this, some will say, is that if the line is blank the 
previous number should be sent.  This will correct the described condition, 
but creates another.

Suppose you QRZ, and somebody dumps the call back fast and you can't get it 
entered; you send the call on the paddle then press the key to send the 
exchange.  To use another example from WPX or most any contest other than 
SS with serial numbers: you dump your call in a pileup, but you don't know 
the other station's call yet; he sends the exchange, you hit the key to 
reply with your exchange; on his QRZ you get his call and log the QSO.

Many years ago NA used to "send the previous number on a blank line", but 
we found it to be a problem.  The "always send the number the cursor is on" 
is certain, and experience has proven it to be less troublesome.  Other, 
"fuzzy logic" algorithms which guess at which the operator intends creates 
uncertainty and, I would argue, more errors.

My reason for using the bandwidth for this explanation is to make the point 
that NA (or CT or TR) are not *notorious* for sending wrong numbers.  As 
long as a certain set of keystrokes produces the correct result, the fault 
is operator error.  One can argue that a particular set of keystrokes might 
not be "user friendly", but that is a different discussion.

It's certainly not hard to come up with situations where someone is
wrongfully penalized a QSO or two and maybe even a mult.  I suppose if
someone disliked me badly enough they could open "w9wi@hotmail.com", do a
search-and-replace on his previous year's Cabrillo file to change his
callsign to mine, send it to "sscw@arrl.org", and get me DQ'd.  Maybe N1ND
needs to start requiring one to submit one's membership control number with
one's entry so that they know it's really W9WI submitting that log?

(No, I'm *not* serious!)

The only way to be absolutely certain you never wrongly delete a QSO is to
never delete a QSO.  At which point the scores even less reflect the actual
efforts.

There isn't $100,000 riding on the results of Phone SS.  Log checking isn't
perfect.  It's awfully good, and it's a whole lot better than it was a few
years ago.

And I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with Leigh.  In this situation, the
transmitting operator should be penalized.  (yes, I realize it's the
*receiving* op who *will* be penalized)  

You're responsible for the operation of your station.  If your rig doesn't
refuse to transmit on 14.355, it's not Yaesu the FCC is going to cite.  You
know, or should know, what serial number your software is sending.  If that
number is wrong, then it's your responsibility to interrupt the computer and
send the *right* number.  

(I don't recall having to interrupt TR at any point during CW SS, except
when I typed the other guy's call wrong!)

and I always enjoyed George Carlin's reason for not getting to mass on
Sunday: "and the chaplain goes into a coma and you're on a ship at
sea... But then, you cross the International Date Line!"

I usually just lurk here but this discussion is getting to be a bit
much.  All of these scenarios are statistically in the noise.  If
everyone is treated the same, as Mike said, the system "gets" everyone
equally.

It reminds me of an anecdote I heard recently, where a guy's parents had
just retired.  His dad was an accountant and just a bit, shall we say,
"meticulous" (read: anal), his mom was the artistic type (read:
disorganised and/or sloppy).  When his dad retired, he started looking
at the family checkbook, which mom had been keeping for years, and was
shocked to find that she never entered the cents, only the dollar
amounts.  After spending the better part of a month straightening out
the register, the total error was around 15 cents.  I suppose there
could be several morals to this story, but the obvious one is that some
things are not worth the effort.  It's only if results are REALLY close
where it's going to matter.

Of course not - the problem is detecting of when the sender screwed up.

If it's true that log checking really allows +/- 1 in the serial number 
(though I think +1 is enough) it is obviously in an effort to placate 
those who would complain (and rightfully so) that they "copied what was 
sent", yet were dinged because the sender screwed up.

This is another example of the log checking going out of its way to try 
to avoid penalizing the wrong party.  The fact that it also allows 
sloppy receiving to sneak through as well is unfortunate collateral 
damage.

Being a software developer myself I can easily understand how Dave
feels and thinks right now.  He's convinced that there's no way his
software can make this mistake.  And if I'd tested the NA software
before a contest and used it only in the most cosmetic of
circumstances I'd be in total agreement with Dave right now.  But I've
now used NA and CT in multioperator and single operator circumstances
over a decade and I'll still stand by my statement.  At W6EEN I've
done multioperator phone contests where a QSO number was send
"manually" by vocal chords with the two operators on the two bands
were touching elbows and there were still unrecoverable errors in
sending the proper numbers that could not be written off as operator
errors.

Dave, you should have been at W6EEN when we fired up NA 10.x for the
phone SS two years ago for 9 QSOs before we discovered that QSOs
logged on one of the two computers were being completely forgotten,
leaving only the QSOs from the other rig in the log.  We had to take a
half hour break in the first hour of the phone SS to load older
versions of NA to fix that.  4-5 guys are not in our log, even though
we clearly contacted them.

I've never been at a multioperator (networked) contest where there
weren't about 50 reboots of the computers.

Here's a scenario:

Rig #1 transmits CQSS W6UE (off) (Rig #2 finds K8CC CQing)
Rig #2 transmits K8CC de W6UE (off) (Rig #1 listens, hears K0RF
calling him)
Rig #1 transmits K0RF nr1MW6UE22LAX (off) (Rig #2 listens, hears "W6UE
nr1MK8CC64MI")
Rig #2 transmits K8CC nr1MW6UE22LAX (insert key!) (Rig #1 hears "W6UE
nr4MK0RF62CO")
Both rigs log exchanges and press enter.  One of the two QSO's goes
into the QSO#2 slot.

In multioperator situations it's impossible for the operators to know
which one of them has to send QSO #2 and which one of them has to send
QSO #1.  They only know that the octopus lets them transmit.  Without
the QSO# +/- 1 log checking rule one of the two first contacts will be
deducted from someone's log, and it wouldn't be W6UE's loss.

I hear a lot of guys with experience in antiseptic operating
environments talking about this issue as if it weren't their problem.
The trouble is that the receiving station is in danger of loosing a
contact whenever the transmitting station sends the wrong info.  I'm
sure that log checkers like Tree came up with the "QSO number +/- 1"
rule after the hard experience of putting their own logs through
automated log checking only to learn that a high percentage of
stations send the wrong contact number.

The "QSO number +/- 1" version of log checking rules was under attack,
and I'm willing to defend the practice.  That, after all, is what I'm
writing about.  I'm not attacking the software vendors.

Dave,
Glad you answered this. I have used all three and all ya gotta do is hit

The NRA says, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people."

Contest programmers say,  "Contesting software doesn't send the wrong
number, operators send the wrong number."

You need to know how your software works, but you can't make the other guy
know how his software works. I think one offs on numbers shouldn't bust the
QSO for that reason.

If I understand all of the nuances of loosing points due to
the other guy, if I don't send in my log, I can never hurt
the score of anyone else.

If I've been casually contesting, worked a few hundred,
not being careful with accurate logging, just giving out
QSOs, maybe even with repeated or skipped QSO numbers,
maybe not logging all QSOs, isn't it in all serious 
contestors best interest for me to keep my sloppy log

Message-ID: <20021115000705.80634.qmail@web40709.mail.yahoo.com>

Got my new QST the other day, and see that they have
removed contest rules and placed them on the internet
instead.  Guess I also saw this in the November issue,
but it really stood out in the most recent one.  In
the contest rules place, they have put "contest
announcements".  These contest announcements basically
describe the gist of the contest, and in my opinion,
they look like they are written for an 8 year old. 
They have little cutsy "Why you should enter this
contest" and "Quirks" sections.  I hope that things
haven't degraded so far that we have to use this type
of language to explain things to hams.  Just put the
rules back in and get away from the touchy feely
stuff.

They figure we are smart enough to go to the web to
read contest announcements, but not smart enough to
figure out why I should enter a contest.  Have you
ever noticed that every time QST takes something out
(contest scores, rules, section news) it usually gets
replaced with something that looks like it was written
for complete idiots.  Witness the "Doctor is in"
column.  I hope these are not real questions sent in
by readers.  If most of them are, the FCC definitely
need to think about toughening the licensing

What's wrong with the CW operator sending CW now & then to manually correct
repeats?  That way, the number sequence is never impacted.  After all, we

Actually, that's not quite right.  In fact, not sending in a log is
one of the ways that
you can hurt the scores of those that you contact.  This is especially
true if you only
made a dozen or so contacts.  Perhaps the last thing you'd want to do
in today's
log checking environment is to come on the air from a rare multiplier
and work only
one or two of your buddies, then fail to send in a log.  Your buddies
will log you,
and when they hear an immense pile up on a guy operating from your
rare multiplier
they will happily tune away knowing they've already worked it.  Then
the log
checkers disallow your contact because it is a "unique" and your
friends lose out
big.

Greetings.


The Northern California Contest Club again sponsors its popular mini-Phone SS 
pre-contest event on Friday night at 2100 PST (0500Z Saturday).

SS Contesters from throughout the 80 ARRL Sections are welcome to participate 
on 
frequencies in the vicinity of 3850 on 75 meters and 7240 on 40 meters for 
20-minutes following the 2100 PST start.

Consider using the NCCC mini-SS to carry out last minute equipment, software 
and 
antenna checks, or to simply renew your possibly cob-webbed familiarity with 
the 
contest exchange.

All are welcome to join NCCC members on 3830 at 2120 to report scores and 
discuss contest matters.

We look forward to seeing you.

Hi,
I am contest manager for the Finnish Radio Relay
League, SRAL, and I am following this ARRL approach
of trying to lure newcomers to contesting.

I will likely try something similar, time will tell.

But truth is we need more contesters.

I would like to have more stations making close to
mid-range scores, not trying to let things fall
like they seem.

More and more people are on for just an hour or less
and that is not really satisfactory for contests.

How to improve that, I do not know.


One fact I have found is the contesters participating
actively are not the target group for these attempts
of trying to lure newcomers.
I believe already contesting individuals will accept
this point in some time.
A change is in process and changes are seldom easy.

The change in the magazine and overall information
sharing structure has to be done somehow to get the
main goal achieved.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Changes in QST
Message-ID: <004801c28cac$b097d800$0100a8c0@joe>

Hi all,

My feeling is that the changes in QST are not designed to cater to us.

Is that a bad thing? I do not believe it is, for several reasons. How many
of us after 20 years of SS or more still need to look at the same set of
rules? Moreover, how many of us on this reflector, having proven ourselves
duly capable of Internet navigation, can't go to the ARRL site for a
refresher should we need one?

Has QST dumbed down? I'd hardly consider a treatise on PIC programming
"dumbing down." Is QST attempting to bring new contesters into SS, DX, etc?
I sure as hell hope so.

Will the status quo of running just the rules do that? Not in a million
sunspot cycles. WE get the information we need from the running of rules,
but potential newbies skip right past. I think things like "Why you should
operate this contest?" are great. Bravo.

It's the same with the post-contest writeups. Page after page of grey will
not help sell contesting. Well-written contest reports with humour and
anecdotes play much better into the hands of people who could take or leave
contest reports. Those are the people QST needs to reach.

We can find what we need ourselves easily enough that we don't need QST to
hand it to us on a silver platter. That we can access that information via
an excellent Web-based database (thanks to N5KO and others) means we can get
more information than we could ever have dreamed possible in QST.

The way QST used to print results and announcements served us and largely us
alone. Well, we're coming back year after year anyway. We don't need a sales
job. We do, however, need to bring more people into contesting. I not only
accept the changes in QST, I celebrate them. Others should too.

QST is not, in my view, turning its back on contesters. QST is, however,
asking us to put our egos aside for the greater good. Are we big enough for
that?

Probably one of the reasons people are so "het up" over the issue of UBN's is 
the penalties assessed.
If the fault in creating a busted call in your log is the other guy's, why 
should you be penalized 3 QSOs?
Wouldn't it be fairer in the case of busted calls to simply delete the credit 
for the busted from your log?

Also, since the QSO was NOT a two way exchange, shouldn't it be deleted from 
the other station's log, too?

In the case of a "not in log" situation, however, the penalty should stay at 
three QSO's removed since this 
could conceivably be a case of claiming the QSO in hopes that the other station 
doesn't send in his log and
it will not be counted against the station claiming the QSO? 

If you really wanted to get nasty, if the claimed NIL QSO was a multiplier, 
penalized the offense by removing three multipliers!

I strongly agree with the people who have said that contesting is about making 
valid two way QSOs. 
If it is not two way it is not a QSO on the part of either station. 
The most important part of the exchange is the callsigns of both the stations.

In SS the exchange is equally important.  How about the ultimate in nastiness 
and assessing a penalty for each miscopied element of the exchange: 
3 QSOs for the callsign wrong and 1 QSO for each error in number, precedence, 
check or section?

BTW since I am in zone 4 but CT always shows me as being in zone 3 should I be 
penalized each time the other station has me as zone 3 in his log?
He should be, since I always send the 04 and if he doesn't catch it that is his 
fault.

I wonder if our esteemed log checkers could see how many times the wrong zone 
is shown in DX logs for some recent contests.

I disagree.  If you have contest programs that do not perform properly
either because of them, or poor operator use, your contact should not count
(for receive or transmit).

It is the responsibility of ALL to get it all right (including the
checkers).  Sloppy stuff and operation should not be accepted.  I have seen
a lot of ops just keep going even when they know contact info is wrong.
This should not be accepted when detected.

It takes time and effort to get proper contacts.  Those who take that time
and effort to get it right should not be allowed to be beaten by those that
don't. 

I agree with Mark, N5OT.

Sorry.

It's so.

Don't blame W3FRC (the contest's Special Event Bonus Station from the
Franklin Radio Club).

This is a choice made by the Pa QSO Party Committee, aka the Nittany ARC
Board of Directors.   Take it up with them.  Please.  I got about 2 dozen
emails from DX and West Coast hams complaining of this after the contest
(why me?  Because I posted the info about the contest here as a favor to
this year's PaQP chairman, so those kvetching assumed I am on the PaQP
Committee, which I AM NOT.  But, as they say, no good deed goes
unpunished...)

FWIW, there are a lot of us participants in the contest who hope that this
will change, and soon.  I was hoping to find a way to help them
electronically process logs, but those I contacted told me that for very
good reasons they declined the opportunity.

Pa QSO Party logs must be postmarked TODAY (11/15).  If you can't make the
deadline, go to the Nittany ARC web site, get the email address of the
chairman (I don't have it handy right now) and ask him for an extension.
Sorry, that's the best I can do for you.

I disagree.  If you have contest programs that do not perform properly
either because of them, or poor operator use, your contact should not count
(for receive or transmit).

It is the responsibility of ALL to get it all right (including the
checkers).  Sloppy stuff and operation should not be accepted.  I have seen
a lot of ops just keep going even when they know contact info is wrong.
This should not be accepted when detected.

It takes time and effort to get proper contacts.  Those who take that time
and effort to get it right should not be allowed to be beaten by those that
don't. 

I agree with Mark, N5OT.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Serial numbers off by one in SS
Message-ID: <20021115213326.GC31949@kkn.net>

I guess I haven't made this statement before (since it doesn't seem to be
general knowledge):

In the SS (and sprints) - if a received QSO number is off by one - it is 
not dinged as being wrong.  This practice was started in the CW Sprints
when I wrote the log checking software for it and was inherited by the SS
programs that were written afterwards.

There were just too many times where the error was caused by the sending 
station.  Since we haven't yet entered the age where a busted QSO is
removed from both logs - it didn't seem fair to put the full burden 
of off by ones on the receiving station.  Pretty hard to believe someone
copied "200" instead of "199".

There have been times when it was obvious that the sending station was
out of sync by more than one QSO for an extended length of time.  When
I see this - I remove the QSOs from the SENDING station - not from the
receiving stations.  This doesn't happen very often, but it is fun for
me when it does (other than being a pain to deal with as an exception).

I probably didn't announce this before, as I didn't want to soften the
image us log checkers enjoy as being hard bottomed, inflexible, robots who
haven't done any thinking about the ramifications of our decisions or
methods.

And, in case is still isn't clear, uniques are not removed in the SS 
unless they are identified as a busted call.  If anyone gets confused
on this point again, I will ask them to write it 100 times on the 
chalkboard.

It could be pointed out that there are VERY FEW real uniques worked
in the SS that aren't identified as bad calls - and most of them
that I see are "second QSOs" given out by "friends".  So - really, it
would probably be a good thing if they were tossed, but in the end, it 
really doesn't matter that much (unless someone's friend gets carried
away as has happnened once or twice in Louisiana and Western PA).

Is it being said here that in the case where a station receives an exchange,
logs it as actually sent, that it be recommended he NOT get credit for the
QSO because the TRANSMITTING station screwed something up?

This is exactly the situation that the log checkers try to avoid.

As far as any weaking of the process, let's not forget that log checking has
done anything BUT weaken the process.  I don't think there's a contester out
there who hasn't rethought the value of asking for repeats.

(This whole +/-1 rule is overblown here.  Note that in most cases of missing
a digit by one, the +/- 1 rule will not help.  Busting 753 to 853 will still
get you dinged.  If someone is cavalier about what he logs, he will get
nailed.)

These attempts at making everything black-and-white are unrealistic.  Log
checking cannot be all-knowing.  It must not be too harsh or cause
unnecessary collateral damage or risk scaring away casual operating, nor can
it afford to be too weak and then judged ineffective.  It cannot "know" what
was really sent, how much power an operator was using, or if plenty of other
mischief occurred.  Log checking is a compromise.

The fact that it was even considered to allow +/-1 is a testament to the
understanding these log checking guys have about the whole thing.  I'll bet
not one in twenty guys on this reflector ever thought of this scenario
(until now).  And suddenly we are now all experts! ;-)

Henry,

I have eight W9XT cards here.  Tying the mic and PTT grounds together will 
not hurt anything, but may cause hum on the transmitted signal.  This is 
usually a radio issue (ICOMs are particularly sensitive to this), but if 
the Omni has a common ground, then it should be OK.

One of the alleged virtues of Amateur Radio is that we are
self-policing.  I have an actual, living, breathing moral
dilemma to pose to contesters in the run-up to the CQ WW CW
contest.

I'm sure we are all pleased to know that there will be a
multi-op on contest-rare Sable Island during the CQ WW CW
this coming weekend.  You can learn more about CY0MM by
visiting their web site, www.dipole.com .

However, you may not be aware of one aspect of this
expedition.  You can find out more at
http://www.sugardelta.com/277sd0/index.html .

My inclination is to consider this combination injurious to
the reputation of this hobby with the radio regulatory
authorities in Canada, who licensed CY0MM.

Where, if anywhere, does self-policing fit in this
situation?  If this is an appropriate circumstance for
self-policing, what form should it take?

Mike, that's old and incorrect information.  It WAS true for the 2001

They are no longer accepting anything but paper logs -- not even a disk, and
yes, I know it's a step backwards!

Also, the address is now the Nittany ARC's main Post Office box, not the

Thank you, Kelly.  Guys and gals...please consider which is more likely to 
cause a casual or non-contester to get on and operate...

This year - "Special Interest: Operators will travel to many interesting DX 
locations..."

or 

Last year's - "6.6.4. DXpedition scores may be included in the Medium and 
Unlimited club totals only."

We need to stop breathing our own exhaust and start selling others on what a 
whale of a lot of fun they can be having doing some contesting.  As I posted 
last week - the biggest challenge we have is reaching out to other hams.  This 
is one example of how to do it - by removing dry rules-and-regulations and 
replacing it with a little sizzle.  If you have better ideas for the sizzle, 
then by all means, let's have 'em!!

I don't know the Canadian rules relative to 11M, but I'm sure Riley would have
some interest if this dual-service dxpedition took place on US territory.

One would think if they don't want to process them electronically, they
could just print out the received files?  

I suppose in their defense, you never know what kind of files you're going
to get...  In the TN QSO Party, we ask for "any ASCII text format, Cabrillo
prefered".  Among the 53 e-mailed entries I got three Microsoft Word files,
an Excel spreadsheet, and a NA .QDF file.  

Still...  We only got eight paper logs.  If we had to process the other 53
manually, checking wouldn't be nearly as good as it is.

European Sprint Contest - Autumn SSB -  October 5, 2002
-------------------------------------------------------

The thirty-third EU Sprint has a new winner: Andy, UA2FB, operating
as RW2F who beat Roli, LY2FY, and Ton, ES5TV. Note that both LY2FY
and ES5TV were entering their first ever Eu Sprints! All the top
scorers did a great job on 20m, but 80m was noisy and conditions on
40m were fair.

Participation increased a little due to heavy publicity and the
QSO average per entrant is higher, too. The quality of entries is
increasing: we found relatively few errors. These entrants had
"Golden Logs" with no mistakes at all: EA3FHP, G0MRH, I2CZQ,
IN3FHE, OK1DSA, OM1AW, ON6LY, UT5UGR, and some others
only made one or two errors: congratulations!

Starting on November 1, 2002 the Eu Sprint finally has its own
web page at this address: <www.qsl.net/eusprint>. Here you will find
everything about the Eu Sprint: rules in several languages, results,
prizes and software to download. Please visit the page and help us to
keep it up. We want your articles about the Eu Sprint, share with us

The UBN will be public and available for everyone on our web page,
just click on a callsign to see the UBN report. If you have any

hesitate to ask.

Thanks for your entry, 73!

Dave,

You bring up an interesting dilemna.

First, yes, while amateurs are for the most part self-policing (can't wait
for my next Popkin-gram, I know a young stamp collector who loves his
envelopes), the alleged freeband activity is taking place outside of
allocated amateur frequencies.  So I'm not sure if we should be doing
anything about the actual FB operation itself, so long as it does not use
amateur call signs (and from what I saw on that web site, I don't think it
will).  And this is by no means meant to condone illegal operation!  But if
it's outside the ham bands, it's (to my thinking) outside of our
"jurisdiction."

Second, having said this, I am saddened that one or more of the amateurs is
involved in this type of operation.  And that the other operators are
condoning it (have to be since the equipment listed for the "sugar delta" op
is some of the same amateur gear for the CY0MM DXpedition).

Third, should the actual "sugar delta" part of the operation take place, the
operators will have (in my mind) placed themselves in a poor light with
Industry Canada, and by extension cast the same poor light on the rest of
us.  So we should make our displeasure with this part of the operation known
to the CY0MM folks to discourage future actions of this type -- but NOT on
the air.

Fourth, if this should jeopardize the CY0MM license, it may also jeopardize
the DXCC acceptance of that operation.  Another reason to make our
displeasure known.

Finally... if you hear them during the contest, work 'em.  If they get DQ'd
by the CQ WW committee over this, it will happen after the fact.  That will
be their problem, not ours.

73, ron wn3vaw

One of the alleged virtues of Amateur Radio is that we are
self-policing.  I have an actual, living, breathing moral
dilemma to pose to contesters in the run-up to the CQ WW CW
contest.

I'm sure we are all pleased to know that there will be a
multi-op on contest-rare Sable Island during the CQ WW CW
this coming weekend.  You can learn more about CY0MM by
visiting their web site, www.dipole.com .

However, you may not be aware of one aspect of this

http://www.sugardelta.com/277sd0/index.html .

My inclination is to consider this combination injurious to
the reputation of this hobby with the radio regulatory
authorities in Canada, who licensed CY0MM.

Where, if anywhere, does self-policing fit in this
situation?  If this is an appropriate circumstance for
self-policing, what form should it take?

Hi Art,

It is my opinion that arranging specific schedules such as, "I'll meet you
on 14.005 at 1300Z on the first day" are against the rules if done outside
of the contest.  Of course, setting schedules DURING the contest is fine as
long as they are done over the air (no internet/telephone).

I don't, however, feel that saying something like, "I'll look for you on 20M
in the contest" is against the spirit of the rules, either on the air or via
the internet.

See you next weekend Art :))

Everyone has a story of their one or two uniques that they work every 
year.  Here are the ones I have so far in my SS CW log from W5WMU:

CALLSIGN CHECK RESULTS
----------------------
NG5X is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.
Calls with same check/section: KC5R

W5WU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 3.
Calls with same check/section: W5WZ

This is pretty good - since I don't appear to have any busted
calls (no, W5WZ is a different station than W5WU).

A few years ago, some of the locals got a little carried away, and I had
about a dozen unique QSOs - all from Louisiana.  I have since discouraged
this activity and asked that if they do work me, to also work some
other stations in the contest.

Here is another datapoint (from a top ten high power log):

CALLSIGN CHECK RESULTS
----------------------
K5MR is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.

K2AY is a busted call.  The correct call is K2UY.

NZ5DX is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.

K5NU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.
Calls with same check/section: W5AK W5VX W5UX KG5U

WB2UVV is a busted call.  The correct call is WB2VVV.

Here, it would appear that three "friends" got on to work this guy.
Note that WB2UYV was a unique until it got matched up to WB2VVV.

Then, if we look at a log with poor accuracy:

CALLSIGN CHECK RESULTS
----------------------
K4LA is a busted call.  The correct call is K4LTA.

W7ZKO is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 90.

VE3GX is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 238.
Calls with same check/section: VE3XB

W4SEX is a busted call.  The correct call is W4IDX.

N1SX is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 81.
Calls with same check/section: KA1O

N0AU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 358.
Calls with same check/section: W0EJ

KA4K is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 338.
Calls with same check/section: K0EJ KT5D

K0RW is a busted call.  The correct call is K9NW.

K4KG is a busted call.  The correct call is K5KG.

W9IVF is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 256.
Calls with same check/section: K8JQ

K1STV is a busted call.  The correct call is K1HTV.

NI9U is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 348.
Calls with same check/section: W9FL

VE3XX is a busted call.  The correct call is VE3XB.

N6BO is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 370.
Calls with same check/section: K7SV K4TX

N9RU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 654.
Calls with same check/section: W9SZ W9YK N9LV W9OL

KA8E is a busted call.  The correct call is KU8E.

KB4D is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 698.
Calls with same check/section: K3MM W3PO N3OC

N6YA is a busted call.  The correct call is N5YA.

KO0D is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1012.
Calls with same check/section: N8NX K8UT

W4ECR is a busted call.  The correct call is WB4ECR.

N4AM is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 769.
Calls with same check/section: KY5R K4XR

W1PJ is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 269.
Calls with same check/section: K1SM NB1B NK1L

How many of these unique callsigns are really unique?  I would guess
about zero of them.  However, since the exchanges also got mangled
enough, it is not possible for the software to match up the bad
callsigns to the correct ones.  Therefore, unless I go spend a lot
of time manually working on these, the unique QSOs will all count.

So - in my opinion, the price to be paid to count those 2 or
three real uniques in everyone's logs, is that people with poor
accuracy get to count a lot of their QSOs that should be busted.

If one of these guys ends up slightly ahead of you, were you really
better off being able to count that QSO with your Section Manager?

How about is someone has 30 friends get on and all work someone and
nobody else?  Is that really what we are trying to encourage in the 
contest?

In summary, it is very obvious to guys like me who look at all
of this data that the contest would be better off if we just 
tossed uniques in the SS (at least CW).  There just aren't that
many of them - and the results will be more fair.

Maybe someday, public opinion will agree.

As near I can figure, these are assumed call signs used by
unlicensed illegal "freeband" operators (those who operate
between the top of the 27MHz CB band and the bottom of 10
metres.

The first digits are a country number.  They use the ARRL
DXCC list, numbering the countries as they appear on that
list.  277 is Sable Island.

The "SD" (there are many other two-letter combinations)
refers to a particular club.  I don't know what, if anything
"SD" stands for.

The final digits are a serial number "identifying" the
individual operator or station.

This 277SD0 is a Sable Island operation by a member of the
"SD" club, and that operation is number "0."

This is just what I infer from my research since this matter
came to my attention yesterday.  I've never been involved in
this "freeband" stuff, or even CB radio, so I may be out of
my depth here.

Even in ASCII land, there are also 3 ASCII line ending conventions:

<lf> - Unix/Linux

anything other than the first seems to confuse folks.

Too bad it looks like it may take another 10 years just to cut over

leverage all the pre-existing (validating) parsers, databases and

First: the question.

We had a contact end up as a bad contact.  We know it now, as we worked
the guy AGAIN later on....  Do we trash the "bad" contact (the first Q
with the satation)?  If so, how will this affect log checking?

Now the observations:

I was very impressed with the number of new contesters on the air, and
especially of people having youngsters on the air!  I was even moreso
impressed with the situation that arose when one of our ops wanted to
make the contact with one youngster that was getting clobbered in QRM.
Our op simply said "stations please stand by, im trying to make the
contact with the poor little girl who's getting clobbered in the
pileup"...  The frequency went dead with the exception of our op and the
YL.  We made the contact....  This impressed me, and, after I get some
sleep, I will probably STILL be impressed with this.  

Granted, EEE only had a measly 113000 points and 700 contacts...  We are
happy.

Work dupes, leave them in the log!!!  With the advanced log checking in
existance today, there is really no need for anything else.  No logging
software I know of claims points for dupes anyway.

Message-ID: <002001c28eba$0de3f660$2f9a2944@madsnh01.mi.comcast.net>

    This last Phone November SS I worked many place s on 80M. Actually it
was so packed on the 80M band south of 3.850 that it was had to find a home.
One place I stumbled across was 3.793. When I started calling CQ there was
the band police. "DX Window". This station though was not identifing so I
just ignored the crazy man. Though I went onto the web and found that this
small  piece of space from 3.790-3.800 is a DX window. though I myself would
never hear dx there in that small space and being on 20M I could not believe
that that is the only place dx shold be. In my search for the Truth to this
matter. I look at my Operator manual and yes I see this so called "Dx
Winodw" but then I peer up at the top of the page to read on about
The"Considerate operator's Frequency Guide". These few paragraphs go on to
say, "Nothing in the rules recognizes net's groups, or any individuals's
special priviledge to any specific frequency." "No frequect will be assigned
for exclusive use of any station." and finally, "Check to make certain the
frequency is not in use."
    So, I look on to the next page the US Amatuer Bands Bandchat where I see
US Extra hams are allowed phone from 3.750 to 4.000. This covers this small
space. So in conclusion I asked if it was in use  and there was no reply. So
called CQ. I was using it and there was no DX there before me. So, Just
because that maybe it is the "DX Window" we shold all know frst to be there
has the frequency untill it is relenquished.

Folks

I think that this has a great example of self-policing by the Amateur
community. This new technology makes it difficult to stay below the
collective radar! Just Search "Sable Is." on the browser and there were the
two expeditions side by side! The parties were contacted, the illegal
operation has been averted and this Huge Embarrassement has been saved from
being a Huge DXAC, CQWW and Licensing Disaster. I want to thank all the
others that took part in e-mailing and otherwise alerting the boys on Sable
to their dangerous situation.

Self-policing can work!

Indeed ... and the proliferation of multis was where a lot of the new folks 
were apparently.  It was great to work folks with 01 and 02 checks, too.

Let me diverge to an entirely different subject.  I am not a phone 
contester, but get on in SSB SS to make points for my club.  This year, I 
had disposed of my Rigblaster, and had no effective way of coupling 
hum-free audio from my sound card to my 2-radio box, so I was obliged to 
say everything myself.

After an hour or so, I would find myself totally running out of voice -- 
throat getting sore, hoarseness setting in, etc.

Other than recorded audio, are there any special techniques that phone 
contesters use to avoid vocal fatigue?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

IMHO SS is not broken,  The main difference has nothing to do with 10 meters, 
at least not in the east.  I made over 2100 qsos this past weekend and only 
15 of them were on 10 meters.

As I stated before, it has everything to do with the new operators we are 
getting.  As has been posted previously, the large majority of the checks in 
the SS CW were from the 80s and earlier.  In going over the checks I received 
in the SS SSB this weekend, that's not the case.  Lots of 00s, 02s and so 
forth.  If I get a chance to break them down, I will.  

Nevertheless, I still subscribe to the idea, that since the FCC no longer 
requires a high code speed to get on the HF bands, CW is dying...and so are 
the DOMESTIC CW contests.  I am not knocking CW, but the handwriting is on 
the wall.  We can put our heads in the sand and pretend we don't see it, but 
it's there.

SS is not broken.  The manner in which the FCC grants licenses has diminished 
the pool of good CW ops for the SS CW.  It has not affected the SS SSB.

I ran into this in a NAQP a few years back.  (I suppose some list readers
remember the incident...)  I'm surprised Sean was only assaulted by one
operator - there were a whole lot more back whenever that was...

Was playing around on 15m late Sunday morning when I found a hole on 21349.8
& called a few CQs.  When someone started telling me I was out of the band. 
Disappeared promptly when reminded he was on 15, not 20<grin>.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] SS..Is it broken?
Message-ID: <3d.27c447c1.2b0a687f@aol.com>

I have done some number crunching with the log from SS SSB.  I made 2102 QSOs 
and decided to do a sample of 330 QSOs to determine the checks.  I took the 
contacts from 1-110, 1000-1009, and 1900-2009.  The breakdown follows:

1930's   2
1940's   5
1950's   52
1960's   62
1970's   91
1980's   37(hmmm)
1990's   65
2000's   16

To normalize the 2000's, consider it as 30% of a decade.  Normalize it to 53.

These figures differ quite a bit from what was posted on this reflector 
regarding the checks from the CW contest.  It seems there IS an influx of new 
blood in SS SSB.  SS SSB is alive and well.

Well, the data speaks for itself on CW.  There is nothing wrong with doing
this - but hopefully you will be able to encourage them to go work other
people - which will do more to convert them than just one QSO.

I realize on SSB this happens a lot more.  I will post some unique data
from the top SSB stations to see what it looks like.

Let's let the data speak.

You won't find "DX Window" defined in the FCC rules.  It's called a "Gentlemen's
Agreement" which in most of our minds has the same force and effect as Part 97.

Basically the FCC and its licensing requirements are
broken.  The contests are just fine.

Myself, I think it is pro-DX, much like the DX window on 160.  Maybe some 
of the KP@/KP3 crowd could comment if they ever got as far down as 80 in 
this contest -- were you shooed out of the DX window?

Some people suggest speaking softly.  Ohters suggest certain kinds of 
beverages.  Certain people tend to have voices that last forever.  I have a 
pretty loud voice and it seems years of teaching have made it just about 
leather tough.  My favorite beverage is lemon seltzer with a squirt of lime 
juice.  Now that I am married again, the XYL takes care of the beverages for 
me....semi multi op.

However, I love my old Nel Tech DVK..the first DVK produced back in the 80s.

Message-ID: <3DCF011E@imail.net1plus.com>

I would give it a vote for "Pro DX" and not for the "Anti Contest". I chase DX 
and contest but do stay out of the 75M (3.790-3.800) during contests and out 
of the 160M DX window (1.830-1.835) unless calling DX. This is a courtsey to 
the other operators throughout the world who are not partaking in contests 
such as the domestic US/VE SS contests. It is easy to forget that 1KW on 75 to 
a dipole or an inverted vee is much more effective as a transmitter than as a 
reciever when looking for a clear run spot. (Thus the "alligator" effect .. 
Big mouth no ears). Although the band may seem dead to a station with minimal 
recieve antennas it is not dead for the stations who do chase DX on 75 meters 
with effective recieve antennas. In my personal  experience the DXers do not 
mind vacating either the 75 or the 160 DX window for the major worldwide 
contests (CQWW and ARRL DX). Charley W1TE

I didn't run into that, but I did run into the clown on 28325. This guy
started off out of nowhere really foul mouthed. I guess he took a disliking
to my voice keyer. Without insulting anyone, he did have quite a regional
accent and my beam was pointed at 85 degrees from LA. He kept telling me the
contest "just wasn't going to happen" on his frequency, even though I had
been running there for 30 minutes. My recording of it would be hilarious, if
it wasn't so sad. I worked a few guys through him just to show him I could.
20/20 hindsight, I should have faked a real good run of QSOs and pretended
he was piss weak, but that didn't occur to me until later. I'm proud to say
the only thing I said to him was "Do you have a call sign?" and "We'll have
to get Riley after you." Of course, then he started being foul mouthed about
Riley.

Yes, I have heard it both in contests and in DX pileups.

On Sunday afternoon I heard someone doing that on a contester who was
trying to run stations.  He was so much louder than the interferer,
though, that it wasn't much of a problem.  These guys just can't do much
to a big-time contest station's signal.

Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20021118152953.037f34e0@netmail.home.com>

All,

I have a little pistol station running 100W (proximity to neighbors 
prohibits me from turning the amp on during contests) into a KT34-A and a 
vertical for 40m/80m .  I have had what I think is pretty good success in 
my SOLP efforts but when I look at the results on the 3830 reflector I 
clearly have a long way to go!  So what I was hoping to do is solicit some 
information from other Low power contesters who score big 
points.  Obviously antennas are important so I am interested in what kind 
of antennas the top stations have, but I am also interested in strategy... 
when to run(if possible) vs. S&P, when do you change bands, when do you 
point the beam at Europe, when do you hunt mults.

It would be great to receive electronic logs from some big point stations 
and I can then use Excel to glean a lot of the strategy information out of 
them.  If I am off base to suggest this then I apologize, I realize they 
represent "secrets of the trade", but because of that they would be a great 
source of information to a newbie like myself who wants to improve his 
skills,  and I figured it was worth a shot!  :)

Thanks for the bandwidth.

I agree.

Take a look at the last couple of years, with the unlimited club compitition 
between NCCC, PVRC & SMC. Those three clubs (and others!) are really getting 
folks on the air for SS. This is really, IMO, a great thing for the hobby!

I have been in further contact with Lali, the CY0MM group leader. He says
that "I talked to a couple of guys about Sable. They tried to push this CB
thing, however I never agreed to anything at all."

It is entirely possible that all this could be a pipe dream on the part of
the SD bunch. I for one am not going to take this any further at this time.
Maybe Policing worked and maybe it wasn't necessary except to get rid of
that web site and the implications it raised.

Nice trick. I had an experience with a couple of folks on 3.851. After
calling CQ for 15 minutes or so I got the typical "hey you are
QRMing...blah...didn't your FCC test have a question about intentional
interference...blah..." I worked folks under him pretty well, but it was
of course annoying. Anyway it struck me that he was no longer using
3.853 where he told me he was being interfered with and his buddies
probably came down to listen to him harass me. He was VERY long winded
so I just popped up there for five minutes before he figured it out!
Then I just popped back to 3.851. He left me alone for the next half an
hour at which time I was ready to leave anyway.

I really enjoy reading the comments section on the 3830 score reporter. I
read every comment, regardless of the entry category. After slaving away
over hot radios for an entire weekend, reading the comments only takes a
few minutes and really helps to savor the experience. I'm somewhat
disappointed that a lot of scores, even big ones, are submitted without
comments, probably because the submitter is tired after the contest, and
just wants to dump the score in and get it over with. I would suggest
that it is better to wait a day or two before submitting the score, with
comments, for the enjoyment of all.

I have to confess using the same assistance in EU HF Champs this summer:)
Had not many stations coming back to my CQs when I moved to 80m but somebody
started to play back my recorded voice keyer audio to me. He was reasonably
strong with clear audio and it felt kind of awkward to call CQ with two
signals on the same frequency so I moved down to work a few guys on S&P. I
returned after 2 minutes to find out that there was a DL station calling me
who had just come back to my friend's CQ and the guy himself had obviously
got bored and left.

So I worked the DL and continued with a nice run:)

There's an interesting juxtaposition of threads on the reflector right now:

1.  Hams should be self-policing, re: Sable Island

2.  Contesters take offense when told to QSY out of agreed-upon DX windows

So does that mean that hams should be self-policing only when it's convenient?

The 80m DX window is a gentleman's agreement.  There is no way to enforce 
it except self-policing.  I agree that it's a good thing to keep clear 
during domestic contests.

This weekend, on 80, 2 guys were on either side of me playing dueling 
carriers.
I'd been CQing for about 2 minutes without a call. I said, "I was about to 
leave the frequency, but now I'm staying." They left.
Several times while CQn (not this weekend though) I've had someone keying up 
right on top of me. No matter how loud they are I ask the next guy I work if 
he can hear it.
I then tell him, I can kinda of hear something, but it's not very loud here. 
The idiots leave EVERY TIME.
In NAQP SSB some lid was playing We Are The Champions on my run freq.
When he let up I said - Thanks pal, I love Queen. He left.

If they don't think that they're getting under your skin they'll go find 
something else to do, or someone else to bother.

I'd like to second Dave's comments.  Living in an area with almost no
contesters (Northern Ontario, where QST and CQ are not available at
newstands), reading the comments & stories posted with score summaries on
3830 is pretty much how I learned to contest.  Band changes, openings, run
vs. s&p, SO2R, all of it.  I can honestly say that if it hadn't been for the
many outstanding write-ups posted by K5ZD and others, I'd still be lost
regarding contests, and probably would have lost interest long ago.

Sincere thanks to Randy, and all like him, who share not only their scores
on 3830, but their experiences as well.

I really enjoy reading the comments section on the 3830 score reporter. I
read every comment, regardless of the entry category. After slaving away
over hot radios for an entire weekend, reading the comments only takes a
few minutes and really helps to savor the experience. I'm somewhat
disappointed that a lot of scores, even big ones, are submitted without
comments, probably because the submitter is tired after the contest, and
just wants to dump the score in and get it over with. I would suggest
that it is better to wait a day or two before submitting the score, with
comments, for the enjoyment of all.

I think that it's a little presumptuous to call "DX windows"
gentleman's agreements.  They are special interest
arrangements that have been invented without universal
concurrence.

I'm wary of seeming inconsistent, since I adamantly oppose contest-free 
zones on the other bands, but it seems to me that a few kHz on 80 during 
phone SS is an acceptable compromise, particularly given that SS is a 
domestic contest and domestic signals are ALL so darned loud on 80.

Maybe we need a new category:  "Unintentionally assisted multi-state
transmitter" - precedence "X".

Message-ID: <Springmail.0994.1037718897.0.77256600@webmail.atl.earthlink.net>

I think we have all had experiences like this thread has related...but Sunday
evening I went to 75m for a while, and per chance came on a dead frequency, I
asked if the frequency was in use and a fellow replied that he had been using
it, but was going to eat supper and that I could go ahead....Wow...and it was
a nice clear frequency!  So I called CQ and worked a bunch of guys for 40
minutes maybe when after a QRZ a voice came on and said "Boy was supper good!"
 I asked if he wanted his freq back, and he said no, go ahead, that he would
S&P a bit.

A good experience...never got the fellows call, but Thanks!

You gotta get on all of the bands - especially in the ARRL DX
contests where it is easier for LP stations to work DX.  Note
that I said it was easier to work DX in the ARRL, not that
it was easier to place well!  The competition seems to be
even stronger in the ARRL DX than in CQ DX for LP stations.
You have to get the multipliers to go with the contacts, and
80 and 160 are important for multipliers.  With your "East
Coast" location, you should be able to work some Europeans on
160 to go with the easier Carribean mults.

Most importantly, compete against yourself.  I REALLY, REALLY
want to win the USA in a DX contest, but it's hard to do
from the fringes of the Black Hole.  However, I "made my
own category" by going for the mythical USA All Around LP
DX champion, combining SSB & CW scores for the CQ WW, 
ARRL DX, and CQ WPX contests.  This past contest season (2001-
2002) I "WON" this category and am now "DEFENDING" my
"CHAMPIONSHIP."  

Best of luck.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Help for a little pistol station


All,

I have a little pistol station running 100W (proximity to neighbors 
prohibits me from turning the amp on during contests) into a KT34-A and a 
vertical for 40m/80m .  I have had what I think is pretty good success in 
my SOLP efforts but when I look at the results on the 3830 reflector I 
clearly have a long way to go!  So what I was hoping to do is solicit some 
information from other Low power contesters who score big 
points.  Obviously antennas are important so I am interested in what kind 
of antennas the top stations have, but I am also interested in strategy... 
when to run(if possible) vs. S&P, when do you change bands, when do you 
point the beam at Europe, when do you hunt mults.

It would be great to receive electronic logs from some big point stations 
and I can then use Excel to glean a lot of the strategy information out of 
them.  If I am off base to suggest this then I apologize, I realize they 
represent "secrets of the trade", but because of that they would be a great 
source of information to a newbie like myself who wants to improve his 
skills,  and I figured it was worth a shot!  :)

Thanks for the bandwidth.

Message-ID: <009101c28fdf$1cffcb80$6b288ad8@adams.net>

While conditions on 10 were fairly good in the Midwest this weekend, K3ZO's
comments have me thinking (dangerous, I know....)

Just how many Novices and Tech Pluses are there left on 10 SSB?  The N/T
factor was a big one on 10 in the early 90's in SS and other contests.  I'm
wondering now, though, if the bulk of those who were interested enough to
still be around, and contesting, have upgraded and are no longer confined to
28.300-28.500 for SSB privileges?

Any comments? 73, Jim N9JF

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Harrassment & Favorite Beverage de VY1JA
Message-ID: <000901c28fe3$d4085820$14096cd8@jallen>

Perhaps two threads join on this matter.

First, I think that Ken, K6LA stumbled into the same pit that I had.

In one of my very early years of SS contesting, I started early on 28.325
and was QRMed by a GROUP of guys claiming that 28.325 was their frequency,
and that no contest was going to stop them from using it, so I would have to
QSY so that they could start up.  I am  usually fast to move on in cases
where people ask in a civilized manner, but their first attempt at asking
was with a club.

I told them that I had been on the frequency for several hours and that they
should by rights move a little up or down from there and find a clear
frequency if they could.  I discussed it with them for several minutes, and
decided not to fight the increasing rudeness which followed, as logic and
adherence to the FCC rules did not seem to apply to them.

After they forced "their frequency" from me, I listened see if they could
establish a chat group there.  It was a very interesting to listen to.

The group has within it several people that were acting as passband police.
As they attempted to establish themselves in the middle of SS, the "cops"
continued by harassing others in the area with cat calls, with carriers, and
obscene language, which makes me think that perhaps they had tried a little
too much of their "favorite beverage" from another current CQ-Contest
thread.

Since that time, I have heard them or others like them, even though I
started up a little higher, on 28.337.  They have never used their calls nor
started by asking politely.  If I notice QRM below me, I will ask the
persons generating it to give me a little more room, using my call, and if
it does not work, I slide up.  This year, if I can assume that it was part
of the same group, I was QRMed deliberately with every tool imaginable for
about two straight hours, and moving up or down in the high level of
activity on 10 was not an option.

Thanks to the many fine operators that endured the interference, totally
ignoring the nuisances as we worked together to get the QSOs through, it was
a record year for me.  This was largely due to QRM busting skills of those
that worked me in that spot 12 above "their frequency".

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Remote Internet Access - 72 mile path
Message-ID: <FJECJCDPGLAELGCJIMMNGEHDIHAA.barry@mxg.com>

If your contest station is out in the sticks with no
phone line, you may be interested in using WireLess LAN.

Article in ComputerWorld about San Diego County HPWREN
network for seismic data collection describes a connection
with 1 watt 2.4GHZ 802.11b WLAN and 2 foot parabolic antennas
to connect San Clemente Island across a 72 mile path.
 
The 11 Mbit/sec rate of 802.11b was cut to 1 Mbit/sec
by the extreme path length.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] ACOM Customer Service
Message-ID: <008001c28ff8$f501ea40$3200a8c0@Bob.etiquality.com>

A couple of months ago I bot an ACOM A-1000 6M thru 160m ampl.

The amp arrIvied slightly damaged tnx to ruff handling by UPS!    Damage was 
cosmetic and the ampl wked fine.  I filed the required damaged reports with UPS.
Eventually they made it to Will's desk at acom.

I figured at best I wud get some new sheet metal from ACOM but was amazed to 
hear that Will was going to send me a whole new  ampl!!   Not only did ACOM 
send a new ampl they did it b4 getting the damaged one back!

They also paid for the rtn freight charges on the damaged unit.    I say they 
went above and beyond wat most suppliers would do in today's  world.

3 cheers for the boys at ACOM  de Bob, W7GG

I'm comfortable with the DX Window, and do not wish to see it
weakened.

I'm uncomfortable when I see customs and habits defended in an
indefensible manner.  My concern is that encouraging DXers to
believe that they have a "window" reserved for themselves by
gentleman's agreement will lead to strife, i.e., belief that anyone
who may happen to transmit in the DX window must be violating
the gentleman's agreement, therefore he must not deserve treatment
befitting a gentleman.

We're seeing examples of this strife in the opinions expressed on
the reflector in this thread.  Part of the reason is that the custom
of
leaving the low end of 75 to DXers makes less sense during
contests that generate a great deal of band congestion.  Frankly, I
believe that a small number of "contests" override all customary
and habitual bandplans by the very weight of their levels of
participation.  To declare that the DX window should be thought
of as inviolate during these contests actually weakens the concept
of a DX window by associating it with indefensible levels of greed.

It's a little like hearing that the Texas Cattleman's Association has
a gentleman's agreement in effect that Texas shall be a sheep free
zone.  Now, I'm in favor of cattle.  I find sheep displeasing as food.
A personal preference.  But, I'm going to be very careful about how
I encourage the cattlemen to defend Texas against sheep.

that works the other way also.  in a recent contest i was on 40m ssb cqing
and was just about to leave for another band when someone came on and
asked if he could call his net buddies and move them to another frequency
since i was on their normal one... nice enough to ask at least, so i told
him that he could have the frequency if his buddies gave me some
contacts... they did, and i left them happy to have their frequency nice
and clear.  hopefully i won't lose them all as uniques!

Although rare on CW, I've even had it happen there.

At 9M6AAC in the 1999 CQWW CW,  I'd been running on 40 meters when the call 
9M6AAC was dumped on my frequency.  Figuring it was someone unsure of our 
call, I said "go ahead" in whatever form.  The caller kept coming back with 
"9M6AAC", at which point I figured it was someone screwing around, and so I 
just kept working the other callers as best I could.  Then the joker started 
calling CQ de 9M6AAC.  I sat back and heard a few guys answering him as well, 
though he did not pass out any exchanges. (I guess I just could have logged 
them if he did??)  

I tried again CQing myself, and he started CQing too.  By now he had 
obviously set up his computer/memory keyer with an autorepeat CQ about every 
20 seconds, but screwed it up to using the call 9M6AC.  By then I gave up, 
and went to some other far away frequency or another band.  But I think I 
checked back at least once and heard the auto-CQ still going on.


My favorite harrassment story is still from a DX contest a year or so ago at 
K8AZ.  I was running on the high end of 20 SSB when some guy comes on with 25 
wpm CW sending "F*** You" .  I ignored it the first few times, but finally I 
came back and said "The station calling on CW, I'm sorry OM, but I just 
upgraded from Technician and can't copy what you're sending.  QRZ from K8AZ".

I never heard him again, though a few minutes later some bozos fired up on 
SSB for their net or regular schedule, rendering the frequency unusable.

It is not the same but we were using a wireless lan in last CQWW (multi/multi) 
and it was the best improvement... as we fotgot all the RFI on the PCs :-)

No wires, no RFI ;-)

Generally, If I have been sitting there just monitoring a clear frequency
and someone asks if it is busy, I reply with a truthful "no."

This frequently surprises the inquirer!

Message-ID: <OF057A7153.A63B19FE-ONCA256C77.000164F9@aap.pwcinternal.com>

>From the DX side of things.. the issue is equally grey.  I will pop up in
the window for 'bursts' of 30 minutes or so.. and then try and work split
3699/3805 or something like that - very very hard going though, as most NA
hams would never listen down at 3699 for a SSB signal.

Generally using a VK8 callsign in the window keeps the soothsayers quiet,
but I know if I was in Sydney and used VK2 I would probably get a quick
push-on.  Martin VK5GN will reply to calls but won't monoploise our
3794~3800 window, and I guess its a tough call.

The GOOD NEWS news is that all VK hams will get access to 3776~3800kHz from
January 1, 2004. So we should see some decent 80m scores out of VK after
that date !!!

All I can say is...you don't know the half of it, my friend.  I bought the
2000A amp, S/N 100, and the support they have given me has been just
unbelievable.  I have had tropical bugs crawling through it causing
shorts...left it out in the rain to get waterlogged...exposed it to salt
spray...and abused it as should never be allowed.  Yet Acom has bailed me
out every time, unflinchingly.  Three years later, despite the abuse, it's
still chugging along like a champ.    Yes, those guys do a super job of
supporting even us dummies.

Message-ID: <12b.1b6926f6.2b0c5299@aol.com>

A quick word about loops and yagis...

I have messed around with quad loops and yagis since the 70s.  Both are 
excellent performers and from my experience, I don't think there is a whole 
lot of difference in them on the radiated signal.  However, I have found 
quads are more broadbanded and hear a lot better.  As far as the mechanics 
go, I'll take a Yagi any day.

With this being said though, I am currently using loop arrays on 75 meters.  
They are flat topped delta loops with the tops being around 160-170 feet 
high.  I have a 4 el facing Europe and 2 el facing JA and a 2 el facing 
VK/ZL.  The systems are suspended by a rope system from my towers.  They are 
killer antennas.  I believe  LPL uses a similar system and I know KC1XX has 
the stacked quads.

Mechanically, my loops antennas are superior to a 75 meter Yagi  and have 
been up for four years with no problems.  Probably the equivalent Yagis at 
the same height would work about as well, but on 75 would they stay up as 
long and would they be as easy to maintain?...nope.  Sometimes quads are the 
answer, sometimes yagis.  Nothing is black and white...always gray.  It 
depends on the band.

Message-ID: <001701c29045$f6210ee0$d301010a@kelley>

Howdy all,

After working my first SS this past weekend, I'm looking for some advice on
filters. I run a Icom IC-746. It currently has no filters in it other then
what comes with the radio. I notice that Icom sells a couple of different
SSB filters for this radio. One is a 1.9 KHz filter for the 9 MHz IF, and
the other is a 1.8 KHz filter for the 455 KHz IF (I think I have those
right). My questions then are:

1. Do I get both filters?

2. If not both, which single one is best?

3. Is there a third party filter that I should consider (I really don't want
to have to solder anything in place if possible).

Thanks all,

Kelley -- W?RK

Yes, get both if you can.

> 2. If not both, which single one is best?

If you only get one, get the one for the 9MHz IF.  You want the filtering to
occur as early as possible in the IF/AGC chain.

I don't know if anyone else makes ICOM compatible filters.

I have been using LogPlus as my logging program for years. The author is
no longer supporting it and it died without a Windows version. I am now
looking for a Windows compatible logging program that will support my
SO2R setup.  I use NA for all my contesting with SO2R.

Are there any? I also chase 5BDXCC, 5BWAZ, IOTA and hope there is a
program that will does it all: award management, searches, etc., and
radio/rotator control, SO2R, RF PacketCluster connects, DXTelnet.

I'm sure this has been brought up before, so I ask too, is there a Web
site that may have the analysis of the major logging programs?

I think there is an element of anti-contest in this situation too.  However,
the absurdity of it hit home for me several years back when I was doing a
75m single band effort in the WPX SSB.  I was calling CQ on 3795, and I was
told to move.  I asked why and was told because it was the DX window.  I
replied, thanks - that's exactly why I'm here - to work DX!  This was not
accepted as a logical course of events and was followed with all sorts of
noises, jamming etc.

I do think that calling CQ SS in this area should be avoided, but there has
to be tolerance of using the window area for DX contests.

Actually, I'd like to see the band segments put back the way they were so
that the advanced band started at 3800, which really was cool as many DX
stations would call CQ in the window, and listen above 3800 for callers.
Those were days.

Message-ID: <20021120091102.53690.qmail@web40612.mail.yahoo.com>

TA2BK is on the air & CQ WW SSB 2002 

It's always a fun operating the CQ-WW Tests, but it's extraordinary doing it 
from my alternative qth here in Bozcaada, IOTA AS-099, in the near vicinity of 
the ancient site of Troy. It seems that being near Troy gives some additional 
dB, hi hi  (see the claimed scores of the Macedonian Team which were guests in 
this qth during the WPX-CW Contest )! 

Of course you have to be very accurate in terms of the ferry-schedule. Murphy 
had its first appearence on the 400 km trip from Istanbul towards Bozcaada, 
therefore we missed the last ferry at Friday. Next one meant next day 0700 Z. 
Well, no other way! Murphy the second: Keys of the house were forgotten in 
Istanbul, therefore we had search for the person on the island who had the 
spare ones. We were quite lucky as he was "not in the fields" and could be 
found in about one hour.

I was accompanied by Selim,TA2DS who would never and by no means miss such an 
activity, even as a spectator but mostly as the "technical chief"... Well, the 
recently acquired TS-850 had to get a connection cable to the amp etc etc. " 
Jefe" Selim would never let somebody else doing such things, as nobody than him 
would get those things "perfectly perpendicular".

Finally, with almost a delay of  11 hours TA1E/0 was on the air ! Of course or 
as usual no desktop mike and no voice synthetizer, which meant also a good deal 
of test for the throat, hi ! Meanwhile Selim was busy in taking care of other 
items. One of his top items on the agenda was cooking. I would like to propose 
an award of  "The Best Cooking Ham" to the CQ-Magazine. I'm quite confident 
that Selim will be a winner in series,even in the "mixed" category competing 
with YL's and XYL's... I am ready to make this qth available for this "special 
contest" with a good deal of any sort of herbs and other useful ingredients 
readily available in the garden...

Antenna was moderate (3 El-Tribander, 11 m off the ground), the amp lazy, 
pushing out only 300 W (spare tubes were forgotten in Istanbul as well-Murphy 
the third) but conditions  were superb. Therefore qso-rates were impressive, 
peaking to 150 or sometimes more qso's per hour. A very contributing factor of 
course was the "Special Contest Menu" of  Jefe Selim, hi !

Well, with some "tactical techniques" I was able also to work some nice 
multiplicators. I observed that quite a lot of  stations in the Caribbean 
especially had some sort of "fixed" antennas to USA, absolutely neglecting our 
part of the World, including Europe. One of these "Mighty Guys" from was very 
loud, even beaming towards USA, but his problem seemed to be ignoring any call 
besides USA or any signal below S9 +++ and continously activating his "parrot". 
He missed at least one multi, unfortunately I missed one as well. The other 
observation was the absence of quite some European countries such as T7, T9, Z3 
and ZA. Hopefully next year there will be some more activity there... Thanks to 
the DL and SP Stations for the nice points.

I ended up with .... qso's, ... DXCC-Entities and .. Zones. I wish I had 
contributed more to my team "TA2BK is on the air". Thanks to a bright idea of 
Berkin, TA3J we decided to commemorate our Founding Member and great person 
Bahri by participating to the contest this way. See you next year, hopefully 
with less Murphies and better antennas. 73! Aziz SASA, TA1E/0

Howdy all,

After working my first SS this past weekend, I'm looking for some advice on
filters. I run a Icom IC-746. It currently has no filters in it other then
what comes with the radio. I notice that Icom sells a couple of different
SSB filters for this radio. One is a 1.9 KHz filter for the 9 MHz IF, and
the other is a 1.8 KHz filter for the 455 KHz IF (I think I have those
right). My questions then are:

1. Do I get both filters?

2. If not both, which single one is best?

3. Is there a third party filter that I should consider (I really don't want
to have to solder anything in place if possible).

Thanks all,

Kelley -- W?RK

------------------------------

Q:1.1.  What is an FAQ?
Q:1.2.  Where can I get a copy?

        FAQ stands for "Frequently Asked Questions".  It tries
        to cover common questions/problems/issues associated
        with Icom's IC-746 HF/VHF amateur radio transceiver.

        The master copy is kept at:

                http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IC746/files/IC746-faq.txt

        Mirrored copies (after a short delay) appear at:

                http://www.qsl.net/kb9sss/IC-746/IC746-faq.txt
                http://www.skysdaughter.com/icom746-faq

        You do not need a Yahoo email account to access the
        master copy, however, you will need a logon account.
        Yes, that is a subtle but hopefully minor distinction.
        Not everyone is willing to have a login account at Yahoo
        (even if it is free), which is one of several reasons
        for maintaining the mirror sites.

        We also make sporadic postings of the FAQ to:

                news:rec.radio.amateur.equipment

        usually in the first half of a month.

Then there is reality tragedy. Fox is also developing, "Exhausted," a 
game-show version of Depression-era dance marathons, as depicted in "They 
Shoot Horses, Don't They?" Contestants will be kept sleepless for 24 hours, 
then made to compete in a variety of games and contests for another 24. When 
only two finalists are left standing, they are seated in cozy armchairs. The 
first to fall asleep loses.

Contesting (or contesters) may be better suited for television than we ever 
suspected. Maybe the Fox folks could just visit a few single op contesters 
this weekend? Any volunteers?

    Don't know about the ease of installation (non-soldering) but the filters 
from George, W2VJN, are the ones to get. Their skirts are steeper and they'll 
run circles around the filters from the manufacturers. George's company is

I've got to chime in my approval for cross-frequency operation on 75 SSB
during
contests.  I honestly believe that more contacts can be made in this
fashion.

When I was operating DX contests at W6HX in the 70's I had a number of
contests in
which I had contact totals in the range of 400 on 75M.  These were primarily
the JA's
that I could work cross-frequency, with them transmitting below 3600.  As
soon as the
JA's got a window around 3790, and could work on-frequency with US stations,
contact
totals for all West Coast stations on 75M were cut in half, and 40M contact
totals were
reduced by 100 or so.  Japanese stations simply refused to work
cross-frequency on
75 after that.  The JA 75M DX window was remarkably narrow, and the best
periods
of the potential JA runs are typically prevented because large pile-ups of
US stations
calling SA and Caribbean stations block most trans-Pacific activity.  These
kinds of
problems must be limiting factors for all but the most dominant East Coast
stations
working Europe as well, but perhaps not quite as severe.

Most likely there was an effect on contact numbers to Japan on the other
bands too,
with remarkably fewer casual contesters from Japan taking part in the
contests from
one year to the next (this is harder to quantify due to the effect of
sunspot variations.
It was a tragedy to California stations, as there has never since been a
major DX
contest in which a US victory came from 6-land.  Increasing numbers of
European
hams provided part of the reason for this, but I believe that it had tragic
spin-off
consequences for CW contests as well, as there was a general drop in DX
contest
activity in Japan out of proportion with the number of licensed hams in
Japan.

Well, it's too late to get that back.  Let's face it, without
cross-frequency contacts the
40/75/160M phone bands are severely limited for DX due to local interference
levels.

I don't know if all of the desired capability is there, but it may be useful
to look into Writelog as this is the only major contest program that runs
on Windows.  K5ZD likes it, and he is in a good position to know...

I think that 10m is less of an issue - I too get the feeling 
that almost everyone who is intrested in the HF bands has 
taken the written test and upgraded to use of all the bands.

So now we can work them on all the band - not just 10m.

Ray...

FWIW, I have been trying out different logging programs for years and 
have yet to find one that covers everything I want for contesting AND 
general logging, all in one package...

My absolute favourite (by far)  for contesting is N1MM Logger, a real 
Windows program (no DOS Windows, Boot disks, TSR's and stuff) with all 
the features needed...Programmable macros for CW, SSB wav files, RTTY 
and PSK31...Connects to Telnet/Packet for spotting...The best looking 
bandmaps I have seen..."Enter Sends Message" mode is one of my favourite 
features (eliminates using "F" keys for each message, the ENTER key 
takes you through the whole QSO, from CQ to TU)...Two radio 
support...Excellent technical support and it's FREE (Not Shareware with 
a free trial version, it's free for the latest fully functional 
version)....Cabrillo, ADIF etc etc export...The list goes on and on...A 
real professionally done, fully featured piece of Windows software...Try 
it...

WriteLog is also an excellent Windows contesting program...Can't vouch 
for it's general logging capabilities, but it is a good contesting 
program...Between Writelog and N1MM, I get just about all the contests 
supported that I work...

For general logging I have chosen Win-EQF...Great award tracking, 
searching, radio support and a fairly good contesting module...It's 
designed more-so for general logging vs contesting

A search will give you dozens of other ones...Some good, some not so 
good and many I haven't tried...10 people will give you 10 different 
opinions...Try a bunch of them, there are lots and one may just fit what 
your looking for...

Have not heard of a website that rates the major ones, although someone 
else likely has found one...

The best thing I'm aware of is the cqww.cty file, which is updated and 
posted on the web periodically (thanks to AD1C).  Try www.k1ea.com.

Kelley,
I had the exact question a couple of years ago with my then new IC746.  I 
was planning on using the 746 on 6m and 2m for vhf weak signal work, 
contesting and as a back-up to my IC765 for HF contesting (which already 
had narrow SSB filters in both IF's that worked very well) and I wanted to 
narrow the IF to better reject adjacent frequency interference.  Like you, 
I didn't want the wire-in filter mod so I compromised by purchasing the 
1.9KHz Icom narrrow SSB filter for the 9MHz IF and the 1.8Khz narrow SSB 
filter for the 455KHz IF from INRAD.  This combo sharpens up the IF 
considerably (it almost makes rag chewing uncomfortable because of the loss 
of the wider fidelity but that is easily fixed with a push of the FILTER 
button to toggle back into the stock 2.4KHz Icom filters) and makes 
contesting and dx'g on a crowded band much more bearable.  I have found the 
IC746 with filters to be a very respectable radio.  Probably a better way 
to go is to purchase the wire-in filter from INRAD for the 9MHz IF as well 
as the INRAD drop in filter for the 455KHz IF but my compromise worked out 
very well without any internal changes to the IC746.
INRAD's webpage is at:  http://www.qth.com/inrad/

Ray,
        I have found the following to be the simplest solution to all
my ham radio needs and especially for those of us who used LogPlus.
I do everything using 3 programs but it's simple. 
        The first thing you want to do is install a program called BV.
I use BV6 http://www.qsl.net/df3cb/bv.html for all my qsl'ing needs
and I print directly to my cards. No more messing around with labels.
You can print to labels if you prefer. BV7 is available but BV6 works
great for me and I don't believe in fixing what isn't broken. I think
the GREATEST feature of BV is the file conversion function. You can
convert your LogPlus files to an ADIF file, a BV file, etc. There are
many conversion options. EVERYONE should be using this program even if
only for this feature. You can even take a Sweepstakes log and tell
the program to remove the exchange from the log and replace the
exchange with 59/599! How slick is that?! This is what I do before I
import my Sweepstakes log into Logger or BV. There is also a mailing
list for the BV program ( bv6@yahoogroups.com) but there is not too
much activity on it. I guess people aren't having problems. Oh, the BV
program is free!
        I use Logger ( http://www.qsl.net/kc4elo/logger.htm ) for ALL
logging and award tracking. I love it and it's free. I'm not a rag
chewer. I chase dx and operate contests ( CW, RTTY, SSB). So for
chasing dx I use Logger. Before I operate a contest I create an .ADIF
file from Logger for all activity since the last contest ( you can
create and ADIF file by dates in Logger) and import it into BV6. When
operating a contest I use Writelog for the 3 modes. After the contest
I make WL create an ADIF file and I import it into Logger AND BV6. So
all logs go to Logger and all qsl activity is done from BV. It's
really slick!
        One more tip! Whenever  you have a screwed up contest file and
you want to make a correction to all or some of the qso's at the same
time ( i.e the wrong date) without typing a lot, use the Programmer's
File Editor. This has saved my ass on a few occassions. It's not
supported anymore but it works just great and can be downloaded at :
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/people/cpaap/pfe/ It's free also!

        Good luck & 73,

Yes, but, 10M is a phenomena not just a wavelength. There is no 15-15 
International Club. 

There are those who are using monoband radios, whips and low power to 
successfully work the world. There is no other HF band with so many who can 
get such profound results with such a modest investment.

There is no other HF band with so much real estate. There are seldom other HF 
bands where E and F skip happen at the same time. There are no other HF bands 
where you can work tropo scatter when the band is closed.

Go ahead and QSY. I'll be on 10 creating activity when everyone else is 
listening to see if the band is open.

I love ten meters too...it's a great band.  I wouldn't miss the 10 meter 
contest for anything.

However, you guys out west love ten a little more than we do back east. 
Sweepstakes is a matter of working the large areas of population.  For you 
guys it means getting on ten to work the midwest and the northeast.  When the 
band is open east west like that it is harder for us to get a really good 
opening to those areas here in the southeast.  Fifteen provided that opening 
for us this year at the beginning of the contest and twenty is THE place to 
be if you are in the southeast.  Why screw with ten and be connon-fodder for 
the W6 and W7 stations?..:-)  I made 15 QSOs on 10 this year and had my best 
relative finish ever in SS.  For SS in the southeast, there's no meters like 
20 meters.

There was an attempt to start a 12-12 club when that
band was first open to ham use.  I know, I was 12-12
#84.  I think that the novelty of 10 meters will die
down some when the new generals and extras experience
their first sunspot minimum.  Yes the band will have
occassional TE, and Eskip, but those things are hard
to predict.  Nowdays you can turn the radio on and
hear DX every day during the winter.  Many new
licensees who have not been thru a sunspot minimum
don't know what to expect yet.  

Also, we should be indebted to the freebander market
for creating the need for all of those 10 meter
monobander rigs.  Go look at www.copper.com.  For
every 10 meter monobander, there is a video called
"Tricks and tips" which lists modifications for that
rig.  Why do I think that the modification is not to
improve CW waveform?

Leigh makes a very good point. Since we got the VK "window at 3794 to 3800 I
find it hard to make anything like a good number of Q's on 80.

It is really not fair to tie up this window with endless CQ's. I tried to
get it made a contest free zone here in VK because I knew what would happen.
However, that was not successful. Although I am sure those that hand out
numbers there would, in the main, scream like stuck pigs if I were to really
set the CQ machine going there and monopolise it.

I do, now, reply there to others CQ's and that's how I get a few mults. It
is really not suitable as a contesting spot. Too much QRM from others
wanting to use it.

However, I used to be able to CQ on 3695+ - and get a pile up going further
up the band. No longer. Even many of the big multi stations require a nudge
on 40 to listen down for me when they say they still need a mult on 80.

A number of times in recent contests I have run the CQ machine on 3695
listening up while I s&p on 20/40 with the  other radio. So little return
that it is not worthwhile.

There are regular VK's in the DX window and the US stations get the mult and
then don't bother any longer. I can hear them Cqing away on 375/6/7/ and no
reply when they could be working at least a few of us on 3695.

It may improve when the sunspots means that Q's on 80 get more important in
the overall scheme of things.

Now if I could just get the Europeans to listen up on 40 around 2100z we
might get somewhere really interesting Hi Hi.

I've got to chime in my approval for cross-frequency operation on 75 SSB
during
contests.  I honestly believe that more contacts can be made in this
fashion.

When I was operating DX contests at W6HX in the 70's I had a number of
contests in
which I had contact totals in the range of 400 on 75M.  These were primarily
the JA's
that I could work cross-frequency, with them transmitting below 3600.  As
soon as the
JA's got a window around 3790, and could work on-frequency with US stations,
contact
totals for all West Coast stations on 75M were cut in half, and 40M contact
totals were
reduced by 100 or so.  Japanese stations simply refused to work
cross-frequency on
75 after that.  The JA 75M DX window was remarkably narrow, and the best
periods
of the potential JA runs are typically prevented because large pile-ups of
US stations
calling SA and Caribbean stations block most trans-Pacific activity.  These
kinds of
problems must be limiting factors for all but the most dominant East Coast
stations
working Europe as well, but perhaps not quite as severe.

Most likely there was an effect on contact numbers to Japan on the other
bands too,
with remarkably fewer casual contesters from Japan taking part in the
contests from
one year to the next (this is harder to quantify due to the effect of
sunspot variations.
It was a tragedy to California stations, as there has never since been a
major DX
contest in which a US victory came from 6-land.  Increasing numbers of
European
hams provided part of the reason for this, but I believe that it had tragic
spin-off
consequences for CW contests as well, as there was a general drop in DX
contest
activity in Japan out of proportion with the number of licensed hams in
Japan.

Well, it's too late to get that back.  Let's face it, without
cross-frequency contacts the
40/75/160M phone bands are severely limited for DX due to local interference
levels.

While I'm quite happy with TR for contesting, it's got its drawbacks for
general QSO logging.  I've never found a general QSO logging program I
really liked.  So finally, a few weeks ago, I did something I've long been
threatening to do.

Wrote my own.

Use "logger", it's free and very very good. Download it at 
www.qsl.net/kc4elo
The new version (Logger 32) is due in a few months, maybe even a few 
weeks ( Xmas time, some say)

There is no CQWW Countries list.

The things that count as countries for CQWW include everything on the DXCC
Country list, plus those unique things on the WAE Country list like,
Shetlands, 4U1VIC , TA1, etc.

One source for the WAE list is: http://www.darc.de/referate/dx/fed.htm

I can remember working VP6BR on 3795 on CW a few years ago.  I thought it
was a strange frequency for a CW pileup, but there he was!

The extra some  10 % higher in frequency may make a difference from the low
end.

Thanks to everyone for all of the input on filters for my Icom 746.

The summary of all the emails, both to the list and private are as follows:

1. Get both filters. The PBT works better that way.

2. If I get one, get the 9 MHz filter.

3. Get InRad filters instead of Icom filters.

Thanks,

Kelley -- W?RK

Message-ID: <000501c29256$7067f8a0$c8e62341@tampabay.rr.com>

I was a Novice who didn't know squat but my Elmer suddenly had need of a 15
meter beam for the family antenna farm, which previously had had none.  This
is how things were with my Dad, W1CW - a giving man who always put his
interests last and everyone else's first.

Dad was the guy who made the DXCC what it was - he checked and administered
the program for almost a quarter century in Newington, and he didn't cut any
corners - everyone was held to the same high standards - this is what made
holding DXCC meaningful.  That was during the "heyday" of DXCC, including
the evolution of the DXpedition.  Dad later went on to set up and run the
"new" ARRL outgoing QSL Bureau.

Finally, when he moved to Tampa after Hurricane Andrew we had an opportunity
to put together a big ham station - capable of being first through the
pileups and supporting multi-operator entries in contests.  For numerous
hours in the early planning stages we would talk on the telephone while both
sitting in front of computers running YO trying antenna designs for the new
15 meter beam for the station.  Dad's final design has been a killer into EU
ever since.

I was in heaven - we would work on the projects during the week while I was
at work and on the weekends and I would install that needed special mounting
plate or reinforcement - that would be Dad's project for the week.... and I
would come over on Saturdays and piece by piece the antenna farm grew.  W1YL
(Mom) didn't always approve of Dad's priorities but I always thought they
were in order.  Multi-ops were hosted and certificates and plaques started
showing up in the mailbox.  This was ham-heaven.

During late nights when he could not sleep W1CW loved 40 meter CW -
especially since his station now had something he had never had before - a
rotary yagi - at 135 feet!  Each year when I went to Dayton and saw friends
they would usually say the same thing "I heard your Dad on 40".  He was able
to enjoy the station, talking to his friends in the First Class CW
Operators' Club and at times marveling at radio - almost like a new ham
excited about his first "run" of JA stations - he would tell me "two nights
ago was really good - they just kept callin' and callin'"  Radio filled
almost all his life, ever since his step-dad W6APG introduced him to it.

After the end of each contest we would pow-wow over what could be improved
and would this  be one of the upcoming projects for the station.  Over the
years the station grew and outgrew itself - we had to put additional
operating positions out on the porch when we went multi-multi but through it
all we had a blast.  Florida Contest Group multi-operations in all the major
CW DX contests, being the hub for the W1AW/4 IARU, and a threepeat as first
place finisher in the CW SS were some of the highlights. Mom would keep us
ops all well fed - Dad would routinely walk around checking the meters [no
Red LED's on the Alphas!].  A respectable contest station was born and
raised by W1CW... be it the miles of burried ground system or the custom
turnings from his lathe it all came together into a fine machine for making
ham radio communications!

This morning my father passed away.  His health had been failing and we had
been graced with an "extra" year with my Dad after he survived triple
by-pass surgery.  I just had lunch with my Mom and my wife and my wife
looked at me as I gazed out into the back yard and Teresa smiled and said -
"their his monuments" - referring to all those towers and antennas squeezed
onto his lot!

Dad had been licensed previously as: W6QEZ, W2QPZ, KH6QJ, W6YYN, and W1WPO.
He was a radioman during WW II  and a member of ARRL for over 60 years - my
Dad would often joke at how the League was gonna lose money big time on his
lifetime membership!

In my last talks with him he wanted to hear about the big efforts planned
for this weekends CQ WW contest and especially how a fellow club member was
coming on a major antenna project.

Radio - when I was little it separated me from my Dad, as I grew older it
became the gift that turned by Dad into my best friend... thanks for the
ride, Dad - say hello to W0DX and KH6IJ for me.

Jim, K4OJ

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Scoring  and Classification Problem of TA0-Calls in 
Contests
Message-ID: <20021124154859.7776.qmail@web40611.mail.yahoo.com>

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

During the scoring procedure for contests we got aware of  a problem which is 
unique to Turkey.

As widely known, in the Turkish Regulations the call-area 0 has been assigned 
to the islands. On the other hand there are islands which are eligible for the 
IOTA, besides some islands which are not (the islands in the Marmara Sea like 
Heybeli, Buyuk, Sivri, Kinali, Burgaz, Avsa, Marmara).

The problem is rather the location of the islands which mostly are in Asia. But 
all of the most commonly used contest-scoring and logging software count them 
automatically to Europe which causes a wrong sort of scoring, resulting in a 
unfair score for all stations which have worked any station located in the 
Turkish islands, particularly those in Asia. 

 All islands with the exception of the so called IOTA-Saros-Group (EU-186) are 
in Asia. 

In the CQ-WW-SSB Contest of 2002 the only participant from a Turkish island has 
been TA1E/0 which was located in Bozcaada, IOTA-AS-099, clearly a location in 
Asia. Therefore we ask the CQ-Contest Commitee to take this into account in 
favour of the stations having worked this particular one, if possible.

A definitive solution for the problem might be counting all TA0-Calls generally 
as Asia for contests and making a modification to the scoring software for 
accomplishing this. This is not unfair as in majority the Asian islands are 
activated during contests and there is no other alternative for solving the 
problem (it is impossible to assign distinctive Prefixes for the exceptions). 
The other fact is that the vast majority of the islands are located in Asia. 

In terms of IOTA-Contests there is no problem as scoring (and contest report 
exchange) incorporates the reference-number of the island.

I would like to ask all receipents of this mail to convey their thoughts about 
my proposal as soon as possible to me. If this solution is accepted, the next 
step has to be done by the vendors of the popular logging softwares.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.0.20021124185913.00a88820@130.94.229.242>

In CQWW-CW I had about 450 QSOs - mostly on 10m, both
running and hunting.

In all QSOs the exchange I gave was 14 - not 5NN14, just
14.  Only four stations asked for their RST, indicating
that over 99% accept that it makes no difference (to them)
whether or not the other station gives a report.

The 99% are right - it doesn't matter!  Their logs will
show 599 received, and my log will show 599 sent.  Even
if I gave something other than 599 to the stations who
asked for a report, it still does not matter what's in
their log or in mine, as reports are not cross-checked
in CQWW.

Yes, the rules say that RS(T) should be exchanged, and
I broke the rules.  I did this to draw attention to the
rules themselves, and to the archaic practice of
exchanging 5NN in major contests.

Perhaps the rules can be updated, because a "rule" that
is not enforced is not a rule - it's a recommendation.
 
Recommendations are not mandatory, they're optional. It
follows, therefore, that the exchange of RS(T) in CQWW
is optional.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Miniclock problem
Message-ID: <3DE21824.14359.25E589@localhost>

Just wanted to make everyone aware of something I noted this 
weekend. I use the program "Miniclock" to give me a mini-window to 
keep time dispayed on the screen.
I noticed that Miniclock and Writelog didn't agree as I logged QSOs, on 
day 2 (it was about 2 minutes ahead, when I noticed). Also noticed that 
Writelog used the time of the clock on the task bar in logging QSOs.
I use WinXP and update my system clock to NIST every 15 minutes. 
So, that means that Miniclock, while running, doesn't get updated, when 
the system time is corrected.
My solution was to terminate and restart Miniclock every now and then. 
Otherwise, I would have thought everyone else operated the contest 2 
minutes too long :.)

FWIW...

This is one statistic that I would not lose sleep over.  For those not
aware, a European station has been reinjecting duplicate spots into a
node connected to the internet.  When sending the duplicate spot, the
time of the second spot is changed so as to defeat the dupe filters of
node software like DXSpider or ARCluster.  So, with no ill will toward
the efforts of any group, these spot statistics are meaningless.

Can't argue with this.  I thought you reduced it to "E" but had sped up the
code to 248WPM thereby sending the signal report so fast that the RF never
got past the TR relay.

That can happen, you know.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] 10 meters in SS
Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.2.20021125105108.00a92b20@3n.net>

I'm a little late to this party, but here are my two cents. For me, ten 
meters is the most interesting band, which for me was proven again this 
weekend in the CQ WW CW contest. However, it's viable only when the solar 
cycle says so. I've come back to hamming after a 45-year lapse and got my 
Novice ticket at the peak of the current cycle. So I've had a ball 
operating phone on 10 meters just like I did in the early 50's (back then I 
didn't care that sporadic E was the only long distance option, and I looked 
for those openings).

However, as a Novice I recognized that having SSB privileges only on 10 
meters was very limiting for a beginner so I proposed to the FCC that it 
expand Novice/Tech Plus cum code certificate holders' privileges to include 
some SSB on the WARC bands as well as broader CW privileges on all the HF 
bands. The intent was to make the initial entry-level license privileges 
robust enough to persuade new licensees to remain in the hobby rather than 
abandon it as they now are doing in substantial numbers. (While the number 
of new licenses issued remains at a pretty good rate, the number of 
drop-outs is about equal to that rate and thus our hobby is not growing. 
Added to that fact is another: the average age of hams is increasing, which 
does not bode well for the future of our hobby.

In any event, the FCC published my petition for comment at the end of 2001 
(RM-10354) and it is awaiting action by the Commission. The ARRL followed 
up with a proposal in March 2002 to significantly expand CW privileges for 
new licensees, and the FCC also has taken the ARRL's petition under 
advisement. So something good may come out of all this. Who knows, some new 
hams even may take up contesting!

And yes, I did receive some nasty e-mails alleging character weakness on my 
part for proposing a further watering down of our hobby's requirements. But 
I'd rather see a growing group of committed hobbyists working the HF bands 
than a declining group satisfied with the status quo.

Message-ID: <20021125171539.79791.qmail@web13604.mail.yahoo.com>

A lot of us rely on DOS for our contest logging.  According to Microsoft's
policies, all support for DOS and Windows 95 ended on 31 December 2001 and
product end-of-life follows one year later:

  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle.mspx

Of course, this doesn't mean much, since as long as we have DOS floppies and
PCs that can load them, we can continue to build DOS-based logging systems.

Has anyone experimented with any of these DOS replacements (in a contest
environment)?  I thought that DR-DOS had some sort of 

  http://www.freedos.org/

  http://www-3.ibm.com/software/os/dos/

My recollection is that DR-DOS had some sort of networking support built-in.

I think is very simple, if you dont get a report it is not a valid
contact  for the Dxcc awards and others, remember that a large % of the
contacts are just people working you knowing that they could get a QSL
card if they want to.
 Maybe if we could add the name...(It will kill the rate but illmake it
so much personal,)
 more people would be interested .

well in the future as dgital modes replaces CW, we could exchange all
meaningful info, including a picture of your antennas, shack and a
family portrait including your dog (optional)
this way you can really say that you have "friends all over'



Don?t change it...

Can't argue with this.  I thought you reduced it to "E" but had sped up
the
code to 248WPM thereby sending the signal report so fast that the RF
never
got past the TR relay.

That can happen, you know.

Well, there is still Windows 98.

Anyway, MSDOS hasnt really changed significantly in many years, so why is 
it important?

Hardware compatibility is a much more important issue for most of us...ISA 
slots are all but gone, etc.  What do we do with our good 'ol DVP's?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Propagation Conditions
In-Reply-To: <4.3.2.7.2.20021125105108.00a92b20@3n.net>
Message-ID: <1UUS3ZVP06090664B941W5A7EDZGE.3de2711f@sum789>

Hello:

Summary of propagation conditions for both CQ WW contest weekends (SSB and CW).

Prior to the CQ WW SSB contest weekend of October 26-27, 2002, sunspot group 99 
(NOAA 0162) dominated the solar flare activity.  Several halo coronal mass 
ejections (CMEs) were observed on October 24 and 25, and from October 24 
onward, 
high-speed solar wind streams swept past the Earth, triggering geomagnetic K-
index readings as high as 7.  This resulted in an Ap of 32 on both contest 
days.  
On the first day, the observed sunspot count was 130, with an associated 10.7 
cm 
flux index of 158, and a background X-ray level of B5.4 on the first day and 
B6.0 on the second day.  Thankfully, no flares occurred during the SSB contest 
weekend.  Polar paths were fair to poor, while High-, Mid-, and Low-latitude 
paths were generally good.

Amazingly, a rocky week also preceded the CQ WW CW contest weekend of November 
23-24, 2002.  The week started out with two M-class flares, and on November 19, 
a partial halo CME left the Sun, followed by a faint full halo CME on November 
20.  Solar wind speeds increased to 700 km/s in the night between November 21 
and 22.  The magnetic component of the IMF stream turned negative (south), 
causing very high geomagnetic storming by November 22 and early November 23, 
with a peak of 7 in the K-index.  Thankfully, things settled down later on the 
first contest day.  The observed sunspot count was 133 over the weekend, with a 
10.7 cm flux of 148 on November 23, and 146 on November 24.  The background X-
ray level was B5.9 on the first day, and B4.1 on the second.  A small Kp spike 
occurred again on the second day, but did not seem to degrade most mid- and low-
latitude paths.  Polar paths were generally fair.

What were your experiences on the air?  Which bands suffered?  Which were the 
best for you?  How did the contest weekends this year compare with past years?  
Do you have any comments about propagation and band conditions for this year?  
I'll summarize your comments and include them in the CQ Propagation column.  

Thank you.

I had the shock of my life to learn from Kantronics that not only do they
not sell the KAM any more, they no longer service the broken one I have.

Danny would be proud - 'long live Appliance Operators.'

Stupid quesiton: how do people do now what they used to do with KAMs?

Nowhere in the DXCC rules does it require a signal report to be exchanged.
In order to have a valid contact, one other piece of information besides
the callsign must be exchanged.  It could be anything - a grid square, a
name, etc.

I have submitted cards for 50 MHz and 144 MHz QSO's for DXCC that just
listed a grid square, no signal report, and they were credited to my
totals just fine. 

Contest rules may be more specific.  A signal report is supposed to be
required for CQWW but none is required for Sweepstakes or NAQP.

Paul,

The signal report gives the receiving operator something to grab hold of
... in marginal conditions hearing "5NN" tells me that the next characters
following are the zone and not part of the call sign.  In poor conditions
this can be a big help.  Let's keep the signal report as a requirement.
And please send it next contest!

Well, you can buy a new 'kam xl' or use your sound card and any of the
many programs (some of which are free) out there that do all sorts of

My guess is they figured that 

1) you screwed up on the exchange
2) QRM obliterated it
3) they, themselves missed it due to fatigue

In any case, they adapted, logging the (almost as unimportant part)
zone, and moved on. (I use, albeit infrequently, the zone as sort of a 
checksum on the prefix - it has saved my butt a few times)

CQWW is a rate contest so any "meaningful" exchange slows things down.  
The "599" is a sort of synchronizing sound - in QRM it lets one's 
internal audio filter (that listens for tone frequency and quality, 
fist, etc.) "lock" on the signal before the zone part comes.  The RST 
is required on DXCC QSL cards I believe - you want those folks to lie?

Tradition plays a role as well - folks are used to it.  There's nothing 
wrong with that...

John, No call? And yes you are trying to water it down to the point that
anyone who wants a license can get it and then you will have your numbers,
but a number of people who do not value their license or the hobby. Then

I guess this means you have about a month to go to Micro$oft'$ web $ite and
download any remaining drivers or other add-ons for MS DOS & Windows 95.  I
guess it's just too much bother for Micro$oft to simply leave those pages
alone and unchanged (how dare we consumers continue to use older computer
technology in terms of hardware and software, don't we know better?, he
mutters sarcastically)

Digital Research's DR-DOS (also known as Novell DOS, since Novell owned
Digital Research for awhile) versions 6 & 7 were equivalent to or better
than MS-DOS 5.x & 6.x for networking support; certainly no reason to suspect
that it's been removed.  Same with IBM PC-DOS v.6. and higher.  And don't
forget about OS/2, if you can still find it somewhere; much of the time, the
OS/2 DOS compatibility box was better than the one(s) in Win 9x --
application and hardware dependant, of course.

A lot of us rely on DOS for our contest logging.  According to Microsoft's
policies, all support for DOS and Windows 95 ended on 31 December 2001 and
product end-of-life follows one year later:

  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle.mspx

Of course, this doesn't mean much, since as long as we have DOS floppies and
PCs that can load them, we can continue to build DOS-based logging systems.

Has anyone experimented with any of these DOS replacements (in a contest
environment)?  I thought that DR-DOS had some sort of

Argh. Here we go again.

Used to be the only way to get a fuel injected engine was to build one. Now, 
most cars have them. Has that degraded the sport of auto racing? I think it 
has just raised the bar.

Used to be record M/S scores in CQ WW were in the 4Meg range, now they have 
doubled. Did computers, packet and digitally enhanced radios ruin the sport? 
I think they raised the bar.

The only certainty in life is change. The hobby will evolve just as HDTV will 
eventually eliminate conventional TV. Is this bad? Depends on if you watch TV 
much or not. 

Bitter lemons are the prelude to refreshing lemonade.

Ok
 
Ok Ill forward an email that I responded to Paul, where he corrected me
already so I wont get 100 other emails saying that Im wrong

 
 
 
Hi Felipe,
 
>I think is very simple, if you dont get a report it is not a valid
>contact  for the Dxcc awards and others,
 
Sorry, but you are misinformed.  No minimum report, or indeed any
report whatsoever, is needed on QSL cards for any ARRL award.
 
 
I guess that most of the world is as misinformed as me so at the end is
the same result.
 
 
You will probably know that neither ARRL Field Day nor Sweepstakes
have signal reports.
 
Yes I do, but then a again are different contests and they attrack a
different crowd.....
A crowd that?s less everyday and Field day is not really a contest.
 
If you are unsure, please check with ARRL.
 
>Don?t change it...
 
Why?  Do you think that CQWW is perfect and could not possibly be
improved, even by making RST optional?
 
Too globalized of an idea... CQWW is not perfect,  we will have to
consider them separately and if we are going to make changes to it , let
them be meaningful ones that will attract newcomers.
 
I think everyone knows that everyday there are less amateurs world wide,
we wont get more qsos shorting the time of them, we get more qsos
getting more people on.
 
With all the attention going to computers and data is very hard to
believe that its going to grow. In fact I don?t think that it will
happen, I think that all the growth we need is already in tens of
thousands of Technician type amateurs all over the world
That don?t know the thrill of low band Dx ing and contesting .. if you
ask me lets merge some of this contests into one and its going to bring
growth at all levels.
 
Just picture this:
 
Its CQWW 2005 and the Bavarian team has installed another weapon a 5
meter dish for EME  from CN8 they also have a Six meter 4 yagi stack
towards europe.
 
What they don?t count on is that the team from HC8 now has a super
system that will probably yield them with  qso?s with thousands of JA?s
from 6 to 2 meters.  
 
All over the world there are teams that will bring their best Vhf and
microwave guys to exceed in this categories most of these new guys have
never operated the low bands

 
I can be all day here talking about the possibilities of such activity,
suddenly contest expeditions to rare countries can be combined and have
many more just because its easier to share the cost with more operators.
If you think about it, its us low banders that don?t like to be compared
with the VHF likes that don?t do anything exciting and usually don?t
know CW. 
We will still have multiple categories and people can choose what they
want to operate
We just have to use basic business principles here
 more market share
the more cross sell you can do to them. Get more people ni the activity
and they will get more involved and their competitive spirit will kick
in. Remember our competition comes from the dilution created by all
these new things to do. (computers and playstations)
 
Sorry for the Bandwidth, but I just could see another conversation
regarding futile changes to the CQWW.

It was added to the country files almost four weeks before the contest!

30 October 2002 (CTY-1205)

* Added R1ANC in CQ Zone 29 to callsign list for Antarctica, CE9. 
* Added FO5RK to callsign list for Austral Is., FO/a. 
* Added K4BEV in CQ Zone 4 and KL7GLL in CQ Zone 5 to callsign list for United
States, K. 
* Removed K8FC in Zone 5 from country file - he's back in Zone 4. 
* Added K2G to callsign list for Guam, KH2. 
* Added KD3RF/VE2 and VA3NA/2 (both in CQ Zone 2) and VY2MGY/3 to callsign list
for Canada, VE.

Yes and no.  I failed to install the new file I downloaded before the
contest, and after working K2G and getting zero points, I deleted the Q,
installed the new file and re-logged him.  he came up right, so SOMEbody DID
do their homework.  They also put AA6TT in zone 5 which I thought was cool.

I thought the callsign K2G made sense for other reasons.  I think a shorter
callsign is always better than a longer one, and I guess the "G" stands for
"Guam."

This is a theory that sounds plausible, but doesn't hold up in
practice.  I know, because I've had 750 contest QSOs in the last
month, without giving reports, except to 4 stations who asked for
it.  None of them needed it - they all got the zone - perhaps they
just couldn't adjust to the concept of a CQWW QSO without hearing
"fini" or 5NN.

Let's accept that RS(T) is optional in practice.  Those that want
to send it can continue as if nothing ever changes.

>And please send it next contest!

I'll gladly send 59(9) to anyone who asks for a report.

Perhaps not, because I was running most of the time, so many of them
would have known I was not sending 5NN.

I think a few others would have asked for a report, except that they
didn't have anything convenient in their keyer memories.  I use an
external keyer and paddle all the time, so it's easier for me to react
when I hear something unusual.

Yes, that's probably what happened most of the time.

>CQWW is a rate contest so any "meaningful" exchange slows things down.  
>The "599" is a sort of synchronizing sound

Yes, but I believe that's only because we all expect it.  If you
don't expect it, you won't miss it.  When I'm running and you call
me, I send your callsign - you hear it and you know the important
bit comes next.

>The RST is required on DXCC QSL cards I believe - you want those folks to lie?

No need for anyone to lie.  I've had specific confirmation from ARRL
that no signal report of any kind whatsoever is required on QSL cards
for any ARRL award.

>Tradition plays a role as well - folks are used to it.  There's nothing 
>wrong with that...

That's right, and there's nothing wrong with paper logging either.
It's just that I don't do it any more.  All I've suggested is that,
in CQWW, RST should be recognised as an optional field.  I would
prefer not to send it, but I'll gladly give 59(9) to anyone who
feels they would prefer to hear it directly from me.

But when the callers adopt your method, *you* lose the sync bit.  They send
nothing but 599XX.
Since I do a lot of running I like to hear the "599".

Message-ID: <002101c294f6$8ba35cc0$0100a8c0@joe>

I'm still puzzled why someone takes so vigourous a stand on so small an
issue.

WW is what it is. A rate fest. Most people are happy with that. It's a
proven formula for success. Remember, at its core, this contest is designed
to be as fun as possible for as many people as possible. The idea is to sell
magazines, remember? (Nothing is wrong with that. All sponsorship has as its
core the promotion of the host organization.)

I can accept WW for what it is and have an absolute blast doing so. I'd
probably have just as much fun if the report was more complicated, but that
would hurt participation at the lower levels of contesting commitment: the
casual ops who may or may not send in a log but who are so important to the
high levels of participation this contest enjoys.

WW works. I have yet to see evidence that a change in this area would have
anything but negative consequences.

Don't forget that the hard-core contester is only a part of WW's market.

This just seems like a lot of effort for not a lot of issue.

If you hadn't sent your zone, they'd have had that too, since the computer
already knows it.  Except for a few contests (ARRL Sweepstakes being the shining
exception which comes to mind) all that needs to be correctly copied is your
callsign (and the cluster probably already gave them that).  The notion that
contesting is a test of operator copying skill is as transparent as the emperors

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Multi Op or  just "Control Op"
Message-ID: <3DE2FB22.1050807@gte.net>

OK ... have got a question for folks who like to interpret rules.


I have a licensed YL no-code Technician friend, who has shown some 
interest in Contesting.  I'm trying to get her to do some SSB contest 
operating from my station.  I don't have much (if any) interest in 
operating those Contests.  Since she can't operate HF without me acting 
as "control operator", if we do enter a contest, would it be as


1)  Single op (she does all the operating, logging, etc.)
2)  Multi op (I'd just do the usual "control op" functions, but not do 
any actual operating myself)


Obviously, if I assisted in any way with any operating functions, that 
would automatically make us multi-op, which I'm comfortable with.  I'm 
just curious to know, if she does all the work, and I'm just watching 
and monitoring, would that count as a "true" single op operation?

Thanks, Ron  WD4AHZ

I loaded a machine with this & experimented with TRLog.  It didn't work. 
(apparently some necessary APIs aren't implemented)

I would expect this to be a moving project though; future support is quite

Emporor's New Clothes (ENC)?  My all-time favorite analogy for
"Dilbert-esque" executive directives.  However, there is no such directive,
nor is anyone trying to lead us astray.

Contesting IS a test of operator copying skill.

How can I make that assertion?  Because the evaluation of performance is
whether it's correct or not in the log.

The debate over what tools the operator should use in copying is a different
discussion.  If the operator does not use the tools available to him
properly, he may log the information incorrectly.

Just plain old making a mistake without any outside influence actually
occurs.  This phenomena leads to errors in the log.

Using what is posted on packet without confirmation is poor operating -
plain and simple.  Using what the operator determines from using
SuperCheckPartial without confirming it - is again, poor operating.  Both of
these lead to errors in the log.

You'd be amazed at how many errors actually occur in just the callsigns.
Most Uniques are believed to be errors in copying rather than true Unique
callsigns.  (Most - not all!)

Before we seek to make it more of a test, we collectively need to recognize
that we all have not even come close to mastering the "test" at this level.

And the urgency really isn't apparent to me, because up through Win98SE, 
DOS is still available and accessible at startup.  I am a lot more 
concerned about the disappearance of ISA slots and the impending ditto for 
serial and parallel ports.

Jim,

First ran DR-Dos when it was introduced as an alternative to MS-Dos.

Last week I couldn't find the MS-Dos 6.22 disks, so I downloaded the latest 
DR-Dos (ver 7.xx)  used it to run TR for the contest.

Absolutely no problem & defaulted to a dual-boot system to boot.

Adding a set of DR-Dos installation disks to my "tool kit".

Yes!  Try to find a card with a PCI slot that will do two or more RS-232

Good point.  (and going to Linux doesn't fix this)  

That said, there are a LOT of parts for the current - and past - line of 
computers
kicking around.  Hams have proven awfully good at keeping obsolete equipment
going; ask any of the thousands still using TS-930s, Drake C-lines, SB-220s,
SB-102s, etc..  I expect anyone who wants to keep contesting with DOS/ISA
will be able to do so for at least another decade, if not much longer.

Does this end of support by Microsoft mean that someone can put
MS DOS 6.xx on the web page for a free download?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
Message-ID: <200211261248_MC3-1-1C5B-7031@compuserve.com>

I didn't hear EI5DI this weekend but if I had, I would have asked
for the RST. It's part of the exchange and, since Paul has admitted
he did not send it, sorry but I feel the entry should be penalised or 
perhaps excluded altogether.

The vast majority of reports are always going to be 599, especially
in a rate contest like CQWW. The fact that almost no-one sends
other than 599, no matter what the circumstance, can I think be blamed
on K1EA, since CT led the way with computer logging and it doesn't let 
you log anything but 599 as the sent exchange. Interestingly, when 
EI5DI was developing his SD contest logger, he added the ability to
log a sent report other than 599 at my request. That doesn't seem to 
be consistent with his campaign to get rid of RS(T) altogether.

This weekend there were three signals, all Europeans, that I found 
so disgusting I sent them a report of 595. Maybe their rigs had just 
developed a fault, but I suspect they like to use a bad note to 
clear a nice big frequency around them. I'll be manually editing 
these sent reports into the Cabrillo log. In the future I'd like to see
RSTs
(and zones) cross-checked in the CQWW contests, and it would seem
to me that if a station receives a lot of reports of a bad note, it could
be
argued their dirty signal was causing excessive QRM and this could
be grounds for penalising the entry. 

>From a US perspective, getting the zone right is not really an issue, 
but my .zon file has just over 100 entries in it and that works out at 
about 6 percent of Ws that weren't in the zone as defaulted by CT. 
I'm hoping that one year the checking software will be enhanced 
to check received zone number. This could result in huge score 
reductions for some entrants outside the US!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Serial Parallel port cards.
Message-ID: <001801c29577$c0dde690$d3096cd8@jallen>

There are a couple of manufactures that I know of that still make them.  I
have found the Lava 2SP-PCI sets up and works well in DOS, W95, W98, and XP,
which I am using now.  As the model number implies it adds 2 Serial and 1
Parallel port using a PCI slot.  They are at www.lavalink.com

I understand that others have had good luck with www.starteck.com, I wish
that I could say the same.  Mine never did work right and I ended up
replacing it with the Lava.

I have no connection whatever with either of these outfits, other than being
a satisfied customer of one and having bad luck with the other.

It is not just a matter of loading the right computer data table...
truncated calls are a little confusing.  Folks get used to longer calls.  In
Canada, when I used VY1A, friends wanted to put the "J" in the call and
others not used to hearing VY1JA, expected a letter after the A...  at least
the normal 2x2 they are used to hearing.

Other Canadians using totally unusual calls like CK7Z do not have that
problem, but instead may be asked where they are. (Going back to entering
computer data... not your fault, Jim)

I find 1x1 calls confusing on first glance, and am sure that I am not the
only one.  My goodness, with a location advantage like Guam in the first
place, does anyone there NEED a 1x1 call to help with the contests?

And yet, for most, contesting is about using every tool within the rules to
get the highest possible score.  I hope the missing letter helped, Guam.
:o)

Hi Zack, not rare, but in the expensive category. I bought one about 3
months ago that has 4 serial outputs using 1 IRQ.

And for Pete, there are plenty of motherboards availbable which have
ISA slots. 
Try a peek at http://www.jdr.com. I've got 2 just sitting on the
shelf. Around 400 mHz with the cpu which came with it if I remember,
but posibility they could be speeded up.

Think I paid about $89 for them. Identical twins.

Here is where the boneyards come in handy. I've forgotten the name,
but I have an old
card from back when you had to have a HD and floppy controller on the
card. It also has 2 LPT ports, and 4 comm ports in ISA. All of the
above can be enabled or disabled and there are various combinations
which allow you to seperately configure the comm ports.

If anyone interested, I'll dig it out of the desk and post more.

AD1C mentions the CompUSA house brand mother board is set up for two 
Comm Ports with unique IRQs...that is nice but I want more....

What I am wondering is - were there mass produced PC's which 
automatically came with 3 or 4 comm ports?  To me those are what I wish 
every position had at my place - this is kind of a re-hash - but in the 
past we have talked about who sells cards to add the extra comm ports... 
did a manufacturer IBM/Dell/Gatway/Whoever produce four comm port 
machines with non conflicting IRQs on as contract for some industry?

With the older machines about to become un-supported my Microsoft, IF 
there was an industry that had purchased computers in bulk that had 4 
comm ports on them I would love to meet one of their Sustems guys and 
slip him a greenback or two.... undoubtedly this stuff is going to be 
replaced (if it hasn't already) and not to have to sub contract out 
adding the extra comm ports to a two port machine would be just ducky - 
I am more than content with DOS based logging software - I have not been 
sold on Windows based stuff at all - as far as I can see the DOS based 
programs do all I could ever want and I have some scores to prove that!

1 - I need a comm port to interface with the network (even when I am 
single op I have two computers running for redundancy and my ease at 
SO2R - not to mention it makes an excellent back up - the one time 
recently I did not do this the logging computer crashed and I lost the 
first night of the ARRL Ten Meter contest due to it)

2 - I need a comm port to interface with the network (ptional - can go 
LOOP network and only need one for netowrking - but it seems the LINK 
option always boots right up versus the loop where it takes work to set 
up system parameters in the autoexec files wheras I have a box full of 
null modem adaptors!)

3 - I need a comm port to interface with the packet spot sucker - this 
can be on one computer in the network since once it gets into one 
machine that info is shared through the network

4 - I need a comm port to interface with the rig - this is as far as I 
am concerned MANDATORY - if you have not automated your station yet - DO 
IT!  No more tranmistting into the wrong antenna and hosing the linear 
at ) Dark 30.  I actually switch the antennas by driving the automated 
boxes directly from the transciever so I can enjoy the switching even 
when the computer is off)

... TO ME an ideal find would be a computer like a low end Pentium 100 
some odd megaherz with 4 comm ports ready to be used.... as I mentioned 
at some positions in a multi-multi we can get by with two minimum (rig 
and network) - but I like the idea of finding a half dozen of these soon 
to be extinct puppies looking for a contest home where they only have to 
compute for a few weekends each year!

ANYONE KNOW OF AN INDUSTRY THAT USED SUCH A MACHINE (bunch of them) that 
I should look at as a possible source for "ideal" station ocmputers?

I doubt it.  In fact, I suspect if someone put any old Micro$oft software
out on the web without their permission, even something as old, "obsolete,"
and unsupported as MS DOS 6.x (let alone stuff older than that), you'd be
hearing from Micro$oft'$ legal staff.

Remember, they still "own" the software, you don't and never have.  Ever
read the license agreement?  Right -- that's a license, not a sale.

And I'm curious about that link for DR-DOS too.  CP/M lives on!

The fact that almost no-one sends other than 599, no matter what the

logging and it doesn't let you log anything but 599 as the sent exchange.

Dave,

I'm not sure how long you've been around, but I know that long before the PC 
was invented, we had "5NN T5" programmed into memory keyers sending the same 
exchange.  Never mind that the CQ Log Sheets had space for other than a 599 
report, we never sent a different one anyway.

K1EA likely recognized that no one ever sent other than 5NN, so why complicate 
things?  He certainly didn't start this revolution.

Maybe WB4VVF is to blame?  (Any other OT's remember that callsign?)

Jim,

I would suggest that you don't need 4 com ports any longer and should
consider using Ethernet instead for your CT network.  Granted, it is a bit
more trouble to set up, but once it's working, you're done.

The Ethernet card uses one interrupt, so that leaves plenty for other
activities.

So, those computers with two ports are able to handle your rig interfacing
and also connecting a TNC or some other serial device.

To run Ethernet with CT's DOS version, you need K1TTT's NETTSR program which
you can download from his website.

If you can run Windows, you can use CTWin which has built-in network
capability.  I understand several multi-ops have recently changed to using
CTWin very successfully.

N5NJ

Speak for yourself, white man.  Kemo Sabe been sending occasional 59(something
other than 9) for crappy signals, as required by the rules.  Some of those
chirpy/drifty CO signals can cover three bands during a single exchange.  :-)

As our PT5A CQ CW M/M team members return home to USA and Finland, we wish
to thank all we worked, especially those who helped contribute to our 66
countries on Top Band in the contest. An amazing feat by Jeff K1ZM, from so
very far away from everywhere, and excellent antenna construction by the
PT5A team.

And we are very proud to say that we were able to develop our score WITHOUT
the use of packet.  I guess our old ears still work and that a DX CONTEST
may still sometimes represent actual DXing.

Many thanks to our very special Brazilian hosts, Sergio PP5JR/ZX5J and Oms
PY5EG, and the great group of Brazilian ham friends there in Southern Brazil
that contributed to our mutual success, in so many ways.

In closing, most of you are probably unaware that Oms had major surgery 10
days ago, and is now recovering, very well, at home.  Many of you know Oms
personally, and the major contributions he has made to contesting, and
especially in South America.  I'm sure Oms would welcome a "get well soon
note" from any so inclined:

And I hope to hear you all from Ascension Island next week, including ARRL
10 and perhaps some 6 meters, for those so interested.

Hi,

I found a company that sells them :

www.blackbox.be

Pretty expensive though.

I have no connection with this company, just have an old catalogue of them
here.

That's what I thought happened when you called me.
And it made me hesitate, which probably cancelled
any time saved by not sending the 5NN "sync pulse."

Now that we've been through another major CW contest, have any of you used
the Icom 756 Pro II and what are your opinions of it?

Icom points out as a benefit that "there are no extra filters to buy" but
instead of being a comfort to me, I am scared that I'll be stuck with
whatever they have in this thing, without the ability to install the
standard upgrade to Inrad filters that I've grown accustomed to since I had
a Kenwood 830.

What do you contester 756 Pro II owners think?

We've been using Ethernet at KC1XX for the last couple (few) years.  One 
advantage is that all computers go to a central hub, there is no daisy 
chain.  Only a computer which is temporarily off the network will miss a 
QSO -- it doesn't break the chain like a bad bulb in those old-fashioned 
string Christmas lights.  Plus the implications around serial ports is obvious.

Ethernet cards are throw-away items these days ($10 for a 10MB card).  Good 
luck finding a 2-serial port expansion card for that kind of money.

Okay, that's it - I _am_ an OT... not only do I remember 'VVF, but I also have
an Accu-Keyer & an Accu-Memory somewhere in the basement of my Dad's
house back in W7.

If my recollection is correct, one could program a pause in a message of
the Accu-Memory, so inserting a non-599 report was entirely possible,
although it would force one to manually insert the RST every time.

To help ensure they don't do as well as they otherwise could?

I already had the US & zone 5 mults, so just kept tuning past K2G.

They may have worked zone 24, but they probably didn't get a VR.

Calls like K2G & K7K are taking these Yank geographically meaningless

Brett,

I think that either your feeble old memory or mine has mixed up the 
capabilities of other keyers with the accu memory.

There was an Accu-Memory II that was only available in a commercial version 
that may have had features such as this, but I don't believe that the original 
was that sophisticated.

I thought that such pauses for input were started in keyers such as the 
venerable KC Keyer and some from AEA.

I'll agree.  1x1 calls like k2g or k1b are probably not good in
contests.  There are a couple reasons, first not all contesters are
dxers who follow all the expedition lists, and second, they require a
special update of country files so that logging software knows they are
multipliers.  Trying to get the word out that some non location specific
call like that is something special takes time and is bound to miss lots
of contest participants.

I operated all weekend at PJ2T and saw K2G spotted repeatedly via
packet and it never occured me while operating there that it was
anything other than the USA (spots for KC1XX and others kept popping
up too).  So I never bothered to chase him down.  Thanks to AH2R for
making sure we didn't miss the Guam multiplier!  No mistaking
that callsign, for sure.

I have a HYGain 1015DB. While it ain't the best antenna I have on those
bands, it has worked a lot of stuff. It would probably perform better if I
didn't have it sandwiched between a 205BAS and a 402CD with only about 5
feet separating the 1015 from the two antennas above and below.

I think I have the manual someplace if you need some info.

Hi Henry;

Sounds like U have a DB-1015 by the original Hy-Gain company. Designed to
stack above the 204BA 20M yagi. One of our former local CDXA members
(K2SD) had one in Charlotte, NC, and it & 204BA 10' below survived
Hurricane Hugo w/ 108 MPH winds in 1989.

Check www.w7fg.com for a good reprint manual.

Someone commented earlier that Hams collect stuff-They're correct! I just
found three new ISA cards and software I had stored away. Cards are
manufactured by Digi International and provide two DB9 serial ports.
Remember using one sometime ago on my old shack PC and it worked well. Now
all my machines are have PCI slots so these cards are just taking up space.

If you're interested in the cards contact me at nn9k@arrl.net and we'll work

I just have to add this little fillip to the previous thread.

My wife was listening this a.m. to "Dr. Laura" on a local AM station. A 
10-yr-old boy called in to complain that because his mother watched Dr. 
Laura every day he couldn't do something he wanted to. Dr. Laura explained 
that his mother could not be watching her because she (Dr. Laura) only has 
a radio show. The boy insisted his mother "watched" Dr. Laura. After a 
while it became clear the boy had no idea what Dr. Laura was referring to 
when she used the word "radio" and that for him the notion of "radio" was a 
foreign concept.

I think I know what you're getting at John, however, at one point in time, the 
act of listening did involve watching some very vivid images.  This 'watching' 
was all done via the listeners imagination.

I used to build the Accu-Keyers to sell (even sold a CMOS version), and 
also built three or four of the Accu-Memories.  If my feeble old mind 
remembers correctly, you could pause for any length of time while you 
were programming it to make a word space, and then continue.  Maybe 
that's what Brett is thinking of?
Loved to watch that digital display while it was playing back.  :-)

Kinda depended upon how many exchanges you had... if you wanted to prepare 
a 2nd exchange, you could default it to 599 while using the other exchange 
to pause for a hand-entered RST.

Over the years, I probably built 5 Accu-Keyers, 3 CMOS Accu-Keyers, and one 
Accu-Memory.  I believe that may have been the VERY FIRST keyer ever 
designed which offered automatic character spacing... a REAL boon to CW 
ops... it's successor was the KC Keyer and then the CMOS SUPER KEYER 
line... now sold by Idiom Press.

Drew White/K9CW's micromputer-based contest keyer (8748) had that feature.
You simply punched the memory keypad number to start the message and press
the appropriate 's' number on the keypad to automatically fill it in.  If no
second number is pressed, the RST goes out as 5NN.

His keyer was featured in January 1981 Ham Radio Magazine.  I built it back
then.  I used it for a number of years.  It was a great keyer.

There was definitely a follow-up project to the infamous Accu-keyer 
article that was a memory add-on.  It was also published in QST and 
used 2102 devices or something.

Not sure what it was called, but Accu-Memory sounds right.
I built one and it actually worked...for a while.

Yep.  I used to be able to recognize my friend Rag Otterstad's fist, and
knew that OZ8RO was coming next.  NOW, it's a blast of dots, and oops, it's
not Rag in Denmark, but now again LA5HE in Norway!

And, of course, most of us can remember when a VR2 was about to send a Zone
32 from Fiji!  But there you go again, VR2 has moved to VS6 and Zone 24.

Jeez, I guess we're all just going to have to get our code readers out.  And
maybe "ask" what the country is.

Short call signs are GREAT.  I truly hope we'll hear more of them.

Hi Paul

Or you could set the computer to send 569 or 579 or 439?  All
signals are not "5nn" to be sure.  Just as many are 579 and some
are even 439.  It amazes me how many times someone asks me to
repeat my report 2 or 3 times then sends "5nnxx." If we are going
to send a canned report, why not send something other than 5nn? 
If the report is the "thing", any report we send has to be right,
right?  Just so the other station copies what we send to make it
a legal exchange.

I believe the Accu-Memory allowed you to pause for manual entry of other 
data, and then it'd pick back up and continue sending from that point. This 
is something the Basic Accu-Keyer didn't offer.

I have been using SBDVP for the last 4-5 years. It is designed to work with
TRlog and therefore integrates very well. The quality of the audio is
absolutely superb. Nobody can tell the difference between the recording and
my actual voice.
You can find  the reference to SBDVP on the official TRlog site.

Being still on the preferred side of 40, I'm afraid it's your memory that's 
off, mate.  ;^)

The Accu-Memory would accept the pause & after manually keying something,
one could mash a button & it would then continue with the rest of the contents
of that memory.  This was the Accu-Memory as described in the '70-something
QST article(s).  This punk kid was in heaven once he got his hands on one...

In day-to-day operation, I would use it to insert RSTs & in some kinda domestic
contest I kinda sorta still remember, it was a great way to insert a serial 
number
in the long exchange.  Rather vague recollection, but the Gestapo comes to mind
here for some reason...

The display ripping along was also really cool, as noted by N4BP.

The AEA MM-1 could generate serial numbers automagically, though I'm not
sure if that was the first commercial product to do so or not - though I 
should,
having worked for them in the past.

Though nothing to do with this thread, my thanks to PJ2T for calling me
this year.

Many here will recall every year VR2BG whines about trying to work
zones 7, 8 & 9 through the JA Wall.

It's even more difficult with low power, so I've resorted to CQing more &
hanging out in the portion of the band where the oxygen masks
automatically appear.

I think I was only able to work HP1XVH S&P, otherwise everything else
called me.  Thank you all!

Anyone going anywhere interesting should remember that when you're
running JAs, you're probably being called by juicy that you will not be
able to hear unless you have the JAs standby every once in a while.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

I'm looking for opinions on what the preferred logging software is within the 
DX and contesting community.  Not contest software, but general purpose 
multifunction logging software.  The front runner used to be DXBase, and I also 
know several folks using DX4WIN.  Are there other serious contenders out there? 
 Please send any feedback direct pro or con on any alternatives out there.

Thanks and 73,

Message-ID: <5.0.0.25.2.20021128193330.0292c730@radar.nrl.navy.mil>

The signal reports given in 1959 DX Contests had variety.  One page of my 
log shows W3CPB getting reports that ranged from 339 to 589.  Also I notice 
that the reports I gave out were biased toward 579.  Since I had no S-meter 
my reports were very subjective.  In 1959 all of the W3CPB operation was 
hunt and peck so how the competition compared signal-strength-wise was a 
useful output.  If that isn't clear , I did not get everybody on the first 
call.   I don't have any logs covering the transition to computer 
logging,  '59 is the most recent data point.

Message-ID: <002f01c29747$3c7fdd00$35096cd8@jallen>

I noticed that there seem to be a number of folks that have good memories of
older memory keyers.  I have one that is nearly completed from a commercial
kit of parts, and is an older project, for which I need information to
complete and operate.

It has two circuit boards, 2-5/8 by 4-1/2 inches, using discrete components
and no "keyer" chip.  It has a selector switch with 5 positions and two
slide toggle switches both DPDT, but only used as SPST.

"GCH" is the only identification on anything, and is in the etching on the
circuit boards.

Anyone who knows about this please respond directly to jallen@internorth.com

Thanks,

J.

Brett,
   I agree! When I was operating CQWW in China way back when, I noticed the
same thing.
  BUT!!!!!!!
When you ask the JAs to standby , THEY DO!!

Message-ID: <LNBBKMPKENFADHHAMOPIEEHGCBAA.widelitz@gte.net>

I used a Global Memory Foam Chair in PEI this past weekend that I bought at
Staples ($300 US in their catalog.) It is the most comfortable chair I have
ever used (and I have the Herman Miller Aeron chair ($700) in the home
office/shack.)

I love the feature that lets you tilt forward and lock the chair while
having the back support work in that position. I hardly felt the need to
stretch my legs.

Hi all,

I've received a few submissions of pics from SS Phone, but hardly enough. If
you have any to send, of yourself, your mascot, of multiop lunacy, whatever,
please send them to me.

Remember, this is your chance to be in QST. Don't blow it by not even

Message-ID: <001b01c297e0$ea950b60$d2096cd8@jallen>

Further to my request for information to complete and operate the memory
keyer kit,
I was asked to post what chips are used on the 2-5/8 x 4-1/2 inch boards.
Here is the list:
Please remember that I have a hard time seeing such small print these
days... :o)

Board 1
7474, 3
7400, 3
7410, 1
NE-555, 1  Old friend, timer.

Board 2
7493, 3
7402, 1
7473, 1
2102a, 3  look like memory chips
21022a, 1

There are a set of 10 wires that connect from board to board, labeled "A"
through "J".

These cards are professionally etched and bear the identification, "GCH",
but the keyer is a kit.  Some wires are dangling and it is obviously not
completed, but does not look like it will take a lot to make operational.

Anyone recognize this old one?   Better yet, anyone have information for me
to finish it?

Please answer directly to jallen@internorth.com

Thanks,

J.,
VY1JA

Be sure you really, really want what you are buying, especially if you buy
DX4WIN.  I bought it and later found out that I just didn't ever use it.
When I inquired about selling it to someone who could use it, I was told I
would be taken to court if I did -- Also, the software owner wouldn't honor
it for updating if I did sell it. So, I threw it in the trash.

YMMV

And so do K/W's.  I operate W5RRR from time to time and when I ask for
W-K/VE to standby so I can work some of the DX calling, they DO standby.  If
I screw up and forget to say "QRZ DX Only, Please", then they respond
accordingly. But, that's my fault.  :-)

Definitely sounds like the WB4VVF  AccuKeyer, and AccuMemory from QST ca.

This is really surprising.  I'm a battered survivor of DXBase and their 
lousy support and upgrade policies, and have found a happy home with DX4WIN 
since release 0.97.  I have always found their upgrade policies quite 
generous and their support excellent.  I'm sure the letter of their license 
is as you describe, but then that's true of virtually all software; it sure 
sounds like you got badly crosswise with them to get the full force of it.

J:

I have both the original Accu-Keyer AND the Accu-Memory articles available 
on the QST CDs.

I can print them and mail them to you, OR I can (probably) send you a PDF 
of the screen-captured article(s).

I guess I will weigh in on this one with a vote. I am a DX4WIN user and I am
not happy with the program or the support.

Dale,

You can download a working demo of the program to try out before you buy it.

Why would you decide to buy it without planning to use it?

If you guys are tired of trying expensive programs that don't work the
way you want them too, cost way too much and have lousy tech support,
step up to the new generation of logging software
 
 
DXLAB
 
DXLab is a free software package that can be downloaded from
www.qsl.net/dxlab written by Dave AA6YQ and some helpers, this
constantly evolving software package is FREE.  If you have a problem,
there is plenty of help.  Some nights I have checked out the DXlab
reflector and had 30 or 40 emails in it.
 
Check it out

There were reports of KC4/N2TA from zone 29 in the recent CQWW CW contest.  At 
least
one DX bulletin reports this as being from the US East Camp at Russia's Vostok

Just curious if anyone can confirm this?

Not only that, but it's a difficult update to the country files.  Not only 
do I have to add K2G, but I also have to add other K2Gxy callsigns that are 
still USA - CT can't tell the difference between a prefix and a 
callsign.  Then the special call (and the over-rides) needs to be removed 
after the contest.

I had several direct replies on this, thanks!  The firm consensus is KC4/N2TA 
is in

Since Neiger quit team competition after the FIFTH Fleet forces wiped him

reporting of team scores).

The following is actually a dupe of my 3830 post, so if you read that,
disregard.

Comments:

44 hour effort from P49V QTH  (sleep:  3 hrs, repairs:  1 hr)

Well, the Great Iguana Shootout of ?02 is history.  Based on initial
reports, it
appears that 3 of the top 4 or 5 in the ?Heavyweight? SOABHP class will be
P40?s.  Jose, CT1BOH, operating from Jacky, P43P?s station, was the clear
and
undisputed champion as P40E.  Jose?s superb score reflects his talent,
stamina
and the value of SO2R done right, as opposed to SO2R done poorly (me) or not
at
all (John, P40W).

This was my third operation from P4, and the second CQWW CW.  Executed the
?Run
and Pass? game plan this year better than last year which turned into ?Run
and
Fumble.?  Low band conditions poor and noisy, with only one European on 160
(CT8T).

Got an e-mail from Steve, N8BJQ, the Monday before contest advising that I?d
won
the CQ WPX CW 02 contest in SOAB HP, a great encouragement and, more
importantly, the penultimate step in my personal goal of winning the world
in
all of what I consider the ?Big Six? (both modes, SOAB HP, of CQWW, CQWPX
and
ARRL DX).  Never mind that four of the victories were 30 years old (XE1IIJ
and
aliases).  Thus, winning this one would have completed the Grand Slam.

It was not to be.  In fact, it wasn?t even close.

Stripping away the difference in hours spent on the air, the major factor in
Jose?s margin of victory was multipliers. John, P40W, and I were roughly
equal
in multipliers while Jose had 100+ more multipliers.  The difference was
SO2R.


I started the contest as ?SO1.5R? (two transceivers, no linear on second
radio).
Plan was to use second radio for passing easy multipliers and finding big
signal multipliers.  Did that reasonably well, although didn?t do much
passing
first day.  Due to antenna switch problems and what turned to be cockpit
problems (yes, the spot switch on the FT1000D stays ON if your keyboard
presses
it), I ended up SO1R for the second half of the contest.

The story is in the stats.  In all, I had a total of 22 second-radio QSO?s,
of
which half were passes from another band or P4/PJ2 local multipliers.  John
presumably had none, but Jose had about 130 second radio multipliers, NOT
INCLUDING passes from other bands.  ALL were multipliers.

My 20 odd second radio contacts were theoretically worth about 300K points,
but
the dark side of that theory is that SO2R done poorly can be negative
influence,
i.e. a tremendous distraction, which manifests itself most notably in less
than
optimum rates on the first radio.

Frankly, on Sunday night, I was about ready to give it up, cede the field to
youth and energy and join the Multi-op ranks as 160M op where I could sleep.
I
could see making a few hundred more QSO?s and a few more multipliers but
could
not envision improvements of the magnitude needed to give the Jose?s of the
world a run for their money.

However, Jose graciously sat down with me Monday night and ran through how
he
does SO2R.  Having ?done? SO2R from the states in 70?s and 80?s, I thought I
knew how to do it.  But doing it at 180-200 per hour rates from DX is a very
different ball game.  In particular, my homemade audio switching doesn?t
hack
it.  Now, thanks to Jose?s tutorial, I can see my way forward to more
improvement and a shot at the win.  Hope springs eternal and wait ?til next
year.

Other than that, as Jose noted the four hours from European to Aruban
sunrise
are notable mostly for their temptation to sleep.  Waiting to hear from the
zone
33 crews.

Blessings and 73 from Aruba, where we?re having a family reunion!  One Happy
Island, Mon!

All,

Wow, what a pile of responses.

After the information was received, and I had a date and name to check, I
found my old 1975 ARRL Handbook.  At first glance it looks like the
Accukeyer, Accumemory set.  YES, it has the NE555, it is used as the audio
oscillator for the keyer speaker.

Because some chips are different, I will need to check it carefully.
Perhaps someone other than WB4VVF made boards or perhaps this is a very
similar keyer offered by someone else.

I will take time to examine the article and see if it is the same one.

Thanks, all, for the leads.  I believe that with this data, I will be able
to get the keyer up and running, because it is either the Accukeyer, or a
clone of some kind, and with the ARRL Handbook, I should be able to work it
out.

I use the excellent LogConv program by KA5WSS.

The ADIF files created by LogConv import without
any problems into my DXBase for DOS database.
(Currently at about 78,000 records for K4RO...)
DXBase derives all of its country info based on
the callsign prefix, as interpreted by the DXBase
Prefix Database.  

You can get LogConv at:

Tony, the CT conversion does not output country data.  It's expected that 
the logging program can figure this out.  I don't want to have to implement 
a callsign parser.

Now if K1EA wants to integrate the ADIF writer into CT, I could add the 
ARRL country index into the country file.  But I'm not sure I'm willing to 
buy into this, or Ken is.

p.s. CT to ADIF is on version 1.16 dated July 2002 now - check the web site.

    During the recent ARRL Phone Sweepstakes you made contact with the 
XYZ Radio Club, Jr located near Anytown.

    XYZ is an amateur radio club just for kids and we had the 
pleasure of making a contact with you using our club call: W1XYZ   We 
had six kids ranging in age from 7 through 14 yrs old participating in 
the contest.  The kids made most of the contacts and did most of the 
logging until they crashed around 0300 local.  They picked back up 
around 0700.

Unfortunately, due to youthful handwriting, a cranky laptop and old 
technology, we lost several entries from the contest.  We have recovered 
most of the "lost" information but a few still need a few holes filled. 
 In most cases the only thing we're missing are the serial numbers from 
the exchange.

Can you confirm our contact and the serial number you provided to us?

Thanks much.

This was the first real contest for XYZ and the kids set some 
challenging goals for themselves:  WAS and a clean sweep.  They just 
missed both because they never heard Nevada.

Hope to work you next year.

73 de W1XYZ

Subject: [CQ-Contest] ADIF conversion file
In-Reply-To: <20021130190700.B28857@darkstar.k4ro.net>
Message-ID: <000001c298ea$c56b2da0$6401a8c0@tony>

Tnx for the info. What I am trying to do is export my db file from DXBase
5.0 for DOS and import it to a windows logging program. The problem with the
ADIF conversion program I have is that it does not include the mapped
country along with the QSO. What this means is that when I import into
another program, the new program will make certain assumptions of where to
map the country. As an example, the call sign, KP2A, was used at KP1, KP2
and KP5. Will the import map this to just KP2? How will it know where to map
it too other than checking it's country file which most likely will set it
up for KP2.
One program company told me they can import the mapped prefix if it is in
the ADIF file.
Is there a version of ADIF or other conversion program that will allow me to
export my DXBase 5.0 for DOS log file into an ADIF file including the mapped
countries?
LogConv won't take a DXBase DBV file.

I use the excellent LogConv program by KA5WSS.

The ADIF files created by LogConv import without
any problems into my DXBase for DOS database.
(Currently at about 78,000 records for K4RO...)
DXBase derives all of its country info based on
the callsign prefix, as interpreted by the DXBase
Prefix Database.

You can get LogConv at:

It was requested from one of the special event 1x1 callsign coordinators 
like all other 1x1's.

In this case the call was requested to commemorate the "Guam Island CW-DX 
Anniversary." Which is arguably no more or less contrived an artifice than 
the "special events" cited by previous DXpeditions and contest operations 
to justify issuance of 1x1 calls.

>It is clearly against their guidelines, except I guess, for special events.

This wasn't a permanent call issued by the FCC. Like all 1x1's it clearly 
had to be a special event callsign. Which can be verified by checking the 
1x1 database <http://ncvec.spindle.net/index.htm>

It would be great for you guy's in the US to re-assess your self imposed
CW/SSB barriers...  Operating split on 7028/7245 (SSB) for one QSO made me
feel uncomfortable, and while VK does not have any strict CW/SSB divisions,
operating SSB below 7030 outside contests would be a bad sport.  From our
licensing persepective, both are fully legal.

Even on 80m... our little VK 6Khz SSB slot gets busy and issues or
sportsmanship arise during contests....  It was moot this year, as my
80/160m array failed prior to CQWW SSB.   You would get many votes from VK
for opening up the US 80m SSB band down to 3650 or 3660.

The reverse VFO ID of a few US stations was a prompt to go split on 40m...
but mostly a little in cw "USA" was enough of a queue..

I sent this out to our local new hams - maybe you have a local group that would

73, Ward N0AX

Hi folks,

Some of you have expressed an interest in CW and this is the weekend to 
practice it.  The annual ARRL CW Sweepstakes runs from 1 PM on Saturday to 7 PM 
Sunday evening on 80 through 10 meters (not on 30, 17, or 12-meters).  While 
you might recoil in horror at the high code speeds, tune wayyyyyyy up in the 
bands and there will be some folks going nice and slow.  The Novice bands on 
80, 40, 15, and 10 meters often have a number of slow-speed stations hanging 
out up there.  Don't be afraid to jump in there and give 'em a call.  I 
*guarantee* your code speed will double with just a few hours at the key.

Here's how it works...

1) You hear somebody calling "CQ SS CQ SS de N0AX"
2) Send your call ONCE - "W7VMI" - don't send their call and don't send yours 
twice or three times.  If they don't copy your call on the first try, they'll 
send "AGN" or "?" or just CQ again.  So call 'em again.  If they're going too 
fast, send "QRS" and they'll slow down.
3) If they hear you, they'll send something like this - "W7VMI 107 A N0AX 53 
CO"  What the heck does that mean?
    - W7VMI is your call to let you know they're talking to you
    - 107 is the number of the contact in the contest for them (their next 
contact will be 108, etc.)
    - A is their entry class (low power) - there are A, B, M, Q, S, and U 
classes
    - Then they send their call
    - 53 is the last two digits of the first year they were licensed - it's 
called a "check"
    - CO means Colorado, their ARRL Section (there are 80 - some are states, 
others aren't, all are two or three letters)
4) If you don't get it all, it's perfectly OK to send "QRS PSE, AGN" - which 
means "Slow down, send it again, please"
5) If you do get it - way to go!  Here's what you send...
    - Their call
    - The number this contact is in the contest for you - if it's your first 
send "1" and pat yourself on the back
    - Your class (QRP is Q, <150W is A, >150W is B, M is multioperator, S is a 
school club, and U is unlimited...don't ask)
    - Your call
    - The last two digits of the first year you were licensed - if you got your 
license last year, it's "01", for example
    - Your section, "WWA" for Western Washington, maybe, or "IL" for Illinois, 
or "PQ" for Province Quebec - ah, but oui!
6) If they don't get it, they may say...with a question mark, maybe...
    - "AGN" - send everything all over again
    - "NR" - repeat just the number a couple of times
    - "PREC" or just "PR" - repeat your class letter, it's called "precedence" 
for a number of reasons you don't care about
    - "CALL" - repeat your call (this is rare)
    - "CK" - repeat the two digits of the year, your check
    - "SEC" or "QTH" - repeat your section
7) They may ask YOU to QRS, you speed demon, so do it with a smile!
8) If they copy everything, they'll say a short "TU" (for thanks) or "R" (for 
Roger) or "QSL" (for received OK) and then just send their CQ or maybe just 
their call and away you both may go.
9) Sometimes, it just doesn't work out - QRM (interference) or QRN (static) or 
QSB (fading) or the cat could cough up a hairball on the rug requiring 
immediate action.  Don't take it personally, just go find somebody else to 
call.  It's a no-fault deal.
10) If you get tired of "Searching and Pouncing", then tighten your belt, mop 
your brow, cock your hat at a jaunty angle and call CQ!  It's easy - don't have 
a cow, man, just call "CQ SS CQ SS de W7VMI W7VMI" and listen, repeat if 
necessary.  Soon you'll get an answer.  Just play back the above steps with you 
as the call-ee.

What's the object?  Make as many contacts as you can.  Try to contact as many 
different sections as you can.  Try to spell your name from the last letters of 
the calls you work.  Work your home state.  Work your brother's state.  Nobody 
can stop at just one QSO...

It's a lot of fun - the hours will fly by.  Keep a simple paper log the first 
time out to make it easy - you can worry about entering it on a computer later. 
 There are complete rules and instructions for operating and scoring and 
sending in the log on the ARRL Web site 
http://www.arrl.org/contests/rules/2002/nov-sweeps-rules.html.  Come spring of 
2003, you can click on over to the contest results and wonder-of-wonders, there 
your call will be with the mighty titans in the very same font size just a few 
lines away.  Woo-hoo!!

Go for it!

Not only would you be LOUDER, but your signal would get

I'm sure there are some who would go work a guy out of the band "on
purpose".  We all know the type.  But I can easily imagine that most
out-of-band operating is either ignorance or contest-induced enthusiasm.
How often do some contesters actually get on between contests and operate
near the bottom?  Even when they do, tuning PAST the bottom of the band is
*usually* marked by the sudden lack of signals.  This is not so during phone
contests as DX is waiting there more often.  Also, the bottom edges of phone
bands are not so easily remembered and they have moved over the years
whether in general or somewhat sporadically by license upgrading.  I cannot
recall the last time the defined "bottom" of a CW band moved so arbitrarily.
But enough excuses...

Certainly, the frequency data in Cabrillo could be used to nail 'em but
that's another (probably country-by-country) database that would need to be
kept up-to-date... but we do have the technology.  Cabrillo could never
squelch "Listen up" however.

"I just looked back, to see what condition my conditions was in" --Jerry
Reed

I hope the sun is nice to us northerners this weekend. The report below
kinda gives me the eeby jeebies!

------------------
From: SKY & TELESCOPE's AstroAlert for Sun-Earth Interactions

 a possibility continues to exist for
additional impressive and dynamic solar limb activity over the next few
days.
There is also a chance we may see additional major x-ray flares over the
coming week or two if the active sunspot complex responsible for this latest
X-class solar flare originated with the spot complex behind the southeast
limb. That sunspot region will gradually rotate into better view over the
next several days, while old Region 10162 will be lost behind the northwest
limb. The area of primary interest will now switch from Region 10162 on the
west limb to the new active spot complex on the southeast limb.

Associated images and movies of this dynamic activity can be found at
http://www.spacew.com/astroalert.html.

It always nice to see someone is sure there is an East Coast conspiracy...

Sections exist because of the administrative needs of the ARRL Field 
Organization and any "recent" changes (KP2/KP4, EWA/WWA, WNY/NNY, WCF/SFL) have 
taken place because hams in those areas successfully organized and presented a 
case for change.   Nothing to do with contesting.

Sweepstakes just uses Sections as multipliers.    Some are quite small (KP2 has 
62) and some very large (Ohio has 6483) but it is roughly reflective of the 
number of hams in each area.

W7GG: what "new" Section in Canada are you referring to?   I'm not aware of 
any.  The Canadian multipliers are the 8 RAC Sections VO(1+2), Maritimes 
(VE1/9+VY2), VE2-3-4-5-6-7) plus VE8/VY1/0 for a total of 9.  I think it's been 
that way a very long time.

>> sections receive more attention than anything else,
>> does anyone understand any rhyme or logic when it
>> comes to creating ARRL sections and/or mults for the
>> November SS?
>> 
>> For example, a few years ago they split Washington
>> into EWA and WWA?  Why split this state and leave more
>> populous states-like Illinois and Ohio as single
>> sections?  I think it could be justified to split
>> Illinois into 3 sections: Chicagoland, Northern
>> Illinois, and Southern Illinois.
>> 
>> Why was NNY created?  There aren't that many active
>> hams in NNY to create a new sections.  That is usually
>> one of the hardest US sections to get in the
>> Sweepstakes.
>> 
>> Why was PR split off from the rest of the West Indies
>> section?  Same for why Newfoundland and Labrador now
>> counts separately from Maritimes sections.
>> 
>> Lets hope they dont' split Newfoundland and Labrador
>> apart, or split up VY1, VE8, and VY0 into separate
>> mults or a sweep will get really difficult.
>> 
>> Glad we don't have the KZ5 section to chase anylonger,
>> that makes things easier.
>> 
>> I guess I am really curious as to what warrents a new
>> section creation?  And why haven't some taken place in
>> some of the larger states?

I don't like it either, but it's becoming an unfortunate fact of life.  As long
as we can listen below 7.040 (or 7.030) and keep getting answers, we'll
continue to listen there.  If we never got answers, we'd be forced to try to
work in the muck above 7.040.

Maybe WRC-03 or whatever it's called will fix 40 meters, but I'm not holding my
breath.

Well, right after WCF was created, I just jumped at the thought of an
EGA and WGA.

Called the ARRL and found out that financial considerations are a BIG
factor, plus getting someone to serve section manager, and on the
various committees. Considering the number of hams in WCF, there is
simply no justification for that section ( but I LIKE it ), and hats
off to the guys there who organized and got it done.

I believe ample justification exists for many other States. NC, AL,
IL, IN, ect.

Just please don't split up SC.

The case for West Central Florida (for example) was that the major population 
center around Tampa Bay was split between NFL and SFL, with section officials 
in Miami, for example, having to travel very long distances to serve League 
interests in the central part of the state.  Having one section in the 
area also improves ARES coordination.

I believe the case for EWA/WWA was similar - the growing population centers 
east of the coastal mountain ranges were not capable of being adequately 
served by League officials based in the Seattle area, especially in winter
storms when some of the passes close, it was affecting ARES operations.
Perhaps Oregon could make a similar argument, but for whatever reason, they
haven't yet.

Simply based upon population, STX might be a good candidate for a split.  
We have four very large population centers, two of which have been among the 
ten largest cities in the United States for decades (Houston and San Antonio,)
but on the other hand, travel and coordination between those population centers
is not geographically difficult, and most of the ARES operations are either 
very local (tornadoes) or they tend to affect the coastline as a whole
(widespread flooding, hurricanes) so from an ARES standpoint, keeping STX the
way it is might be desirable.

And how well connected they are.  It's easy to drive from one point of 
Ohio to another - to get from St. Thomas to San Juan probably requires air 
travel in most cases, which makes a good case for separate VI and PR sections.
The same case might be made about the disparate components of PAC, but either
there really aren't enough hams in KH8/KH2/etc. to warrant it, or they 
really don't care and have never presented a case for it to the League.

I'm not aware of any section having ever been created based even in part on
an argument related to Sweepstakes or other ARRL-sponsored contests (which 
use sections for award distribution purposes.)

Newfoundland used to be part of the MAR section until about five or six

Bruce has given me back my life through the Score Collection

I am sure I'll get the flamethrower from the "we have too much
damn government" multitudes that populate our fine country,
but the debacle on the 160 meter band here in the United States
has proven that U.S. hams MUST have mode sub-bands dictated by
law.  We in the U.S. just LOVE to do anything LEGAL, with the
ethical and interpersonal questions be damned.  I can assure
you that the day the FCC removes sub-band restrictions in law
from U.S. amateur allocations is the day that CW and digital
modes will meet an untimely death, worldwide.  That would go
for contesting on those modes, too.

I'll shut up now.  GL to all this weekend.

Ahh... but the software can be far more sophisticated.  If you worked 
a CQing station on 21.150 SSB, and either he is logging his freq, or 
other operators log the freq when THEY worked him, your frequency can 
be ascertained.

Remember, your movements on the band can be reconstructed in great 
measure WITHOUT your log!

Well for SS your concerns are obviously the next few days, and not the
coming week or two. So, if whatever activity does occur is going to be
confined to the limb, then it's not going to cause you too much in the
way of grief from bad effects. Other than perhaps a brief shortwave
fadeout.

Hint: If a flare does happen, then it's time to head for 10M or 15M or
take a half-hour of off time.

Don't worry, be happy. And bring it on!

For those of you wondering as to the creation of the WCF section.... It made 
sense since the center of population of the west coast of Florida was split 
between north and south as has been noted in a preivious post.  However, the 
population of the section is approximately 3,629,000 and much of the area is 
some of the fastest growing in Florida.  That number is about 25% of 
Florida's population.

One of the proponents of the new section and who worked hard for its creation 
was N4PK who became a silent key last month.  Paul was a member of the FCG 
and will be missed.  That's just a thought you should be aware of when you 
get that 80th section, courtesy of Paul, N4PK

See you in SS.

Thanks all the same, but I'd prefer that we left the Indiana section alone. 
Northern IN and Southern IN would be the only logical divisions, and I don't

Message-ID: <001301c281d0$8a322d00$1c096cd8@jallen>

The ARRL bulletin for today included this note:

"This weekend is the ARRL CW Sweepstakes, a great old domestic
contest. The beginning of the weekend may not be bad, but a solar
wind stream on Sunday could cause some problems for HF operators.
The planetary A index is expected to be 12 on Friday and Saturday,
and around 20 on Sunday and Monday. Since this is a domestic
contest, there won't be any problem with disruptions on the polar
path to Europe, but it could affect communications with Northern
Canada"

That "Northern Canada" note includes VY1, VE8, & VY0.  On Sunday, expect
one-way communications and the tendency for North-South communications to be
workable, but East-West from the north to be nearly impossible.

In the East coast, you may not hear us at all.  If you do hear VY1JA,
realize that when propagation is one-way, I will hear you louder than you
hear me (almost always).  Try, even if my signal is weak, especially in the
period around 1800-2000.  After that, I may not hear you at all under these
conditions.

This Sunday, it is very important to get the QSO when you hear it if you are
in the East Coast so I will stand by for East Coast from time to time.  In
the West, my signal is likely to be weaker than usual, but QSOs have nearly
always been possible.

Bottom line, WORK THE NORTH ON SATURDAY, preferably at the start of the
contest, before the solar storm hits, aim you beam toward KL7 and hope for
the best.

My rig is acting up again.  The Omni-V is cutting in and out. I am working
on the rig today to see if I can find this intermittent.  That type of
problem is VERY hard to locate, so wish me luck. It sounds like a parasitic
in the rig and intermittently kills reception.  When it is there it hits the
transmit side as well, and causes a sharp rise in SWR on transmit, and I am
now concerned that the high SWR is indicating that it is trying to transmit
out of band, which means immediate QRT when the intermittent occurs.

Fortunately, the intermittent has lasted a maximum of about two minutes...
so hang in there if we are in the middle of a QSO and I disappear.

Finally, I have been hit with a flu bug which has just started.  I still
plan to do my best to get YT to anyone that needs it, especially on
Saturday, considering the propagation forecast.  At this time I am unaware
of any other CW operations in Yukon, and I wish you all luck finding me.  I
will, as usual, find a clear spot at my MUF (which is lower than yours in
the south)before the contest, and work stations there waiting for the
starting gong.  That will make it easier to find Yukon.

If you are aware of any other YT/NWT/NT ops committed to this contest,
please let me know as it will ease my mind concerning my rig's behavior.

Some advantage.....Usually I and maybe one other station east of the 
Mississippi cracks the top ten SSB high power.  Uh, lets see, that's makes 80

It could get there TOO much faster. The acceleration would need to be modeled 
and the distance to the receiving station taken into account. The taper of the 
antenna element is something to pay attention to as well. Do you think we 
should let the folks at JoGunn in on this phenomenon?

Although the "West" has a bit of an advantage over the "East" in the
modern SS contest, this advantage does not extend to the "West Coast"
in this or the past decade.  There has been something of a shift in
demographics with the decline of the American automobile industry
(i.e., in Detroit) and the replacement of the midwestern family farm
with giant agribusiness.  Amateur radio contesting in the Great Lakes
region declined numerically in favor of the South and Northeast.  The
result is that a lower percentage of contesters are found within the
single hop range of the coastal California and Pacific Northwest
stations.  In the early 70's Pete Grillo (then W6RTT and then a recent
winner of the SSCW) explained the coming shift in demographics to me
(then a teenage WB6OLD and then also a recent winner of the SSCW) and
predicted that the Gulf Coast region would be the hotbed of victorious
contesters in the upcoming years.  I had trouble believing it, but it
certainly turned out to be true during the 80's and up to the present.
The Northeast, however, unquestionably has the biggest advantage in DX
contesting these days -- European ham radio being a great area of
growth.

Let's see..

For IL

Southern IL = SIL

For IN

Western IN = WIN (NOW THAT'S A SECTION!)
Southern IN = SIN (already commented on)

Dink,

Here is a trick you might want to pass along to others who find your summary 
report useful.  As received via email, it is not easily readable because of 
not being in columnar format.  I do a "select all" and copy and paste it into 
MS Word.  In Word, I then change the font to Courier, 8pt which puts it into 
a beautiful, easy-to-read format.

Thanks, the summary is great!

There is no east coast advantage in SS. Look at rate charts. The big east
coasters will put up huge numbers on Saturday yet often finish far behind
the pack.

A theory I've heard is that they work the crap out of 80/75 but their rates
suffer on Sunday when all that's left are multihop paths that are less
productive. They basically run the eastern seaboard dry on Saturday and pick
up the scraps on Sunday. No flames, please, it's just a theory I've heard.

Aside from the time-tested advantages of WP3R at Arecibo, in my view there
is only one place in North America that has significant advantages over
others: Saskatchewan.

Manitoba is a close second. Why? We have optimum hops into the heart of
American amateurdom. We can work into the Indiana-NY belt like nobody's
business. And from Virginia to the Carolinas and the Gulf states, we
generally (or so we're told) are LOUD. Then we can run W6s like stink. And
when we need to, we can go into the Tech band on 10 and run Gulf Coast
Techs. From here, none of the sections are particularly "hard" to work, as
long as someone is there.

And of course the VE4 or VE5 prefix is good for several dBs. It's not quite
the gain that VY1JA gets from his prefix, but we're not as severely affected
by aurora like Jay is either.

Hops into Saskatchewan fall a little more optimally than in Manitoba, which
is why I rate VE5 higher.

But Shhh! Don't tell anybody, please.

Trust me - being in a new section IS NOT WHAT IT IS CRACKED UP TO BE!

West Central Florida has been around for several years now and still we 
are all asked if we are in North or South Florida....

Most WCF Contesters who do "the phone" don;t even say West Central 
Florida, they have better luck with Whiskey Charlie Fox - the other guy 
will type QCF before he questions the existence of West Central Florida....

OK - I certianly will try, Nat

Note - as I mentioned - been there done that

Mid you I will not apologize should I sweep!

K1AR also spoke of the obsession with Sweeps years ago in his 
column...and if you go far enoguh back to the 50's you will find an 
article by W1YYM about the relative value of sweeping versus QSOs... 
todays' software makes those decisions easy...

I guess part of what I was trying to say is that if you are coming the 
bands for QSOs work any new guys - don;t become obsessed with the 
Sweep...it may not even be attainable, there have been years when doing 
such was possible!

Maximize your points in the contest....don't maximize your depression 
over NOT Sweeping - imagine how you will feel if it turns out nobody was 
on from "Nebraska" (just picking one)

GL to everyone this weekend...SS is a FUN contest as well as time to say 
hi to many olde friends you may have contested with for over 30 years 
(like itis for me!)

Nat,

With all due consideration, you need to worry less about a sweep and
more about getting a call which doesn't cause us to do a mental
double-clutch when you call us in the middle of a hot run!  What the
hell were you thinking, anyhow?

Does the FCC even monitor the ham bands any more?  I haven't
heard of anybody getting a pink slip for years.  Years ago,
before I got the Extra, I got a pink slip for operating CW on
7.024.75.  Just barely into the Extra band.  Now I hear guys
operating on 14.349 and I can copy them way out of the band.

Funny, the good operators never miss a beat when I call them during
their runs  :-)  But seriously, I'm just doing my part to keep you

Hi Dale

Sure, and maybe we could get everyone doing that and then we
could just exchange our information on the cluster.  That way the
non-conesters wouldn't get all bent because there is a contest
going.  Heck, we wouldn't even have to turn on the radio.  Just
think, I could put my info on the cluster and everyone who got it
could put their info on the cluster and viola, new mults, lots of
Q's.  Log checking software wouldn't know the difference as long
as we coordinate times, band, etc.  Boy, I can see where packet
spotting is just going to get better and better!!  I may even
have to try it some day.

Have a problem 1 day before sweepstakes.  All of a
sudden the logging computer in the shack has started
losing time very quickly.  Like getting 5 minutes
behind every hour.  This is not good for the NA
logging.  Haven't opened up the computer yet, but does
this sound like a problem with the lithum battery? 
the computer has been plugged in and running the

Creating an Eastern Oregon section would probably be the best thing that
ever happened to clean up VY1JA's mailbox in the weeks before SS.

Looks to me like there are far more hams in the Yukon than there are east of
Bend.

Seriously though, it does seem absurd that Ohio, Michigan, and Illinois have
never been split.  As a Wisconsin native living in Tennessee I can guarantee
you travelling the length of Illinois is not a fast and easy trip.

If you want to see a detailed analysis of SS have a look at Appendix 1 of "A

http://www.dynamicforesight.com/~ve5zx

You will have to read the rest of the article in order to understand the SS

John,

What operating system?

If its WinXP I may have the answer.  Under WinXP, if you're running a 
popular DOS-based logging program it appears that the clock runs slow if 
the CW keying is enabled.  Disable the keying, the clock runs keeps 
accurate time.

While this problem was reported running NA, I suspect that both CT and TR 
would be similarly affected.  While not wasting your time getting into the 
gory details of timer ticks and such, the problem appears to be related to 
how Microsoft emulated the DOS environment under WinXP.

If you're not running WinXP you can ignore this message.  If you are, you 
have two choices: turn off CW keying and run an external keyer, or simply 
reset the time every hour.

I thought multi-ops did not have to abide by the 24 hrs (out

different contest, or did the rule change sometime in the
recent (or not-so-recent) past?

I *assume* this was made in jest as NLI stands for New York
(City) and Long Island.  Nevertheless, if we need more
sections :-) why not make NLI be North Long Island, and
create SLI for South Long Island and NYC for the five
boroughs of that city.  Even better would be BR for
Brooklyn, SI for Staten Island, BX for the Bronx, QU (or
QUE) for Queens (hopefully not too confusing vie a vie PQ
for Province of Quebec [which used to be QU]) and MAN for
Manhattan (which *is* the City to those who live in the
other four boroughs, Long Island, and the rest of the [lower
portions of] New York State).

Then we can carry it out to its logical conclusion:  East
and West Oregon, North and South Nevada, East and West North
Dakota and South Dakota, ad infinitum.  We could have maybe
200~300 sections!  That would make a clean sweep a real
achievement!

John,

I found that DOS programs work really well with an XP machine only when you
split the hard drive with one of the programs for that purpose, like
"PartitionMagic" and "BootMagic" that comes with it.  I used my old DOS from
Windows 95.

TR LOVES it and because I stored all of the data on a third "drive" which
PartitionMagic made, I can access all of the contest data from XP.  XP does
not see the DOS drive and DOS does not see the XP drive, but both see the
third "data" drive.

Clock works fine.

Ah, because the "N" in "NLI" doesn't stand for "North,"  since the full name
of the section is New York City - Long Island, and NLI is shorter than
NYCLI?

Now the real question I want to know is, what section is the island of
Moosylvania in this year?  Assuming it hasn't sunk again.

Good News:
The Omni-V is working perfectly this morning.

Bad News:
Ol' Murph may just be having the rig hold out till the rate is high.  I did
not find the problem, but left the rig on all last night and it seems well
this morning.

When this contest is over, I hope that someone that is sharp with PLLs will
talk me through this Omni-V repair, via the internet.

Favorite spots:
Frequencies that end with 27, or 37, but that only works at the start of the
contest and once in a while during it.  How often can anyone find the exact
frequency they want clear in SS???

Great News:
Conditions are super here today, so I may be able to start on 10, but
remember that my MUF is lower than yours down south, so watch for me on 15
if 10 does not open here.  I am on 21027, listening to Jerry, K6III work EU,

You need to do more research. By counties, Long Island is separated into east

NAQP mult-ops do not have to abide by the "10 out of 12" rule.

SS multi-ops do indeed have to abide by the "24 out of 30" rule.  It seems 
silly to me to require multi-ops take off time.  As a representative on the 
CAC, I've suggested a rule change in this regard but there does not seem to 
be much support.

Jeepers, guys.

It was a joke.  I lived on LI for 30 years. I know what NLI stands for.
Besides, if "Northern LI" existed, and there wasn't any SLI and NYC what
would all the guys living there do for a section?

I didn't think it was all that subtle.  Y'all must not be thinking clearly,
what, with all the pre-SS jitters!  ;-)

(Yes that was another joke)

No, it's not the battery.

The battery only runs the CMOS real-time clock - this is
a device that runs all the time that maintains time when the PC is off.
(In the good ol' days of PCs, this device was not necessarily installed and
one needed to enter the time at boot up.  Remember that?) The time gets
read from this device once at boot-up, and is maintained by the OS
afterwards.  It's important to realize that the OS maintains this time, NOT
the CMOS device.  The CMOS device only gets talked to again when you
reboot or you enter a time change.  A good test (to
prove me right or wrong) would be to turn the machine off (after it's been
running a while - say an hour - with a noticeable - you say 5 mins - time
error) then turn it back on.  If the time is still in error, then I'm all
wet.
But if it operates as I suspect, the time will be correct; then it is clear
that something ELSE is the trouble.

So with that out of the way, are you running NA in a DOS window behind
Windows?  There's probably some Windows application running that screws
up the clock.  Maybe something recently installed (even without your
knowing...)
Check the task manager, system tray, etc. for stuff running.

Another good reason to NOT run in a window...

That would be an interesting experiment, Dave, to see if
the extra 6 hours would push any of the multi-ops scores
ahead of the top single op scores which the M/O's
traditionally trail behind. I'm game.

Let's for the sake of argument eliminate the "Let's Elmer the newbies"
efforts and look at Top 10 in the class. Surely in Top 10 there are serious
efforts like the WP2Z SS Phone team last year. Why does M/O not work?

Is it a distraction thing? Too many cooks? Is it a duplicate contact thing?
(I'm thinking that perhaps dupe screening takes longer since in single op
you've worked everyone and can more easily recognize a call that's been
worked before.) Is there, perhaps like in U, too much time spent chasing
mults instead of living by K0HB's maxim "mults happen?"

I'm interested in this mainly as research for my QST article on SS Phone
results.

Thanks, and 73,
kelly

Message-ID: <F165rY6FDsQO8qPLlxw000016c4@hotmail.com>

I was curious as to what the numbers were, so I went to QRZ.com and looked 
at the ham population by state.  These were the numbers I got supposedly 
accurate up to 02 Nov for the top ten states:

1  CA  93853
2  TX  39385
3  FL  37162
4  NY  29862
5  OH  28179
6  PA  22845
7  WA  22779
8  IL  21344
9  MI  19916
10 NC  17409

And this is a list of the number of sections in each state:

1  CA  9
2  TX  3
3  FL  3
4  NY  4
5  OH  1
6  PA  2
7  WA  2
8  IL  1
9  MI  1
10 NC  1

Why does MA have 2 sections when it has a total of 13516 hams there?  Ohio 
has over twice the number of hams, but only has one section?  I am quite 
confused here.  Am I wrong in thinking that a section is based on the number 
of hams in it?  Or is it by the number of ARRL members in the state?  Seems 
to me that OH, IL, and MI should be broken down into 2 sections each - the 
number of hams are there to justify it.

Which leads me to the following question... How does one go about getting 
the ARRL to create new sections?  What is the proceedure that you have to go 
thru to get the ball rolling?  Or would it be a waste of time and energy?

The NYC Borough names given by K5RC are actually the county names.  The
county names are only important as regards court system administration and
for the entry on your tax return (and for county hunters).  Here is the
translation between Borough names and County names (both are official):

Borough of Manhattan:            New York County
Borough of the Bronx:             Bronx County
Borough of Brooklyn:              Kings County
Borough of Queens:                 Queens County
Borough of Staten Island:        Richmond County

The former Borough of Richmond (located geographically on Staten Island) was
renamed the Borough of Staten Island in 1975.  It has always been Richmond
County as well, at least since well before NYC Unification in 1898.  To find
a Borough of Richmond, you must go to London.

The Bronx is named for Jonas Bronck, a Swedish seafarer by way of the
Netherlands, who settled in the Bronx in 1639.  There was a "Bronck's River"
well before a name was needed for the entire area; the use of "the" is a
remnant of the connection with the name of the river.  The Bronx is ALWAYS
referred to with "the".

The ARRL Section "NLI" consists of seven counties: New York City, plus
Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island.  Long Island is 118 miles long;
the furthest point, Montauk Point, is almost directly south of the
Connecticut-Rhode Island border.  Many residents of the eastern part of
Suffolk County have been agitating for years to secede from Suffolk County
and form a new county, which would probably be called Peconic County and
would be the 63rd county in New York State.

Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties, plus Queens and Brooklyn) is
NA-026 for the IOTA program.  Manhattan and Staten Islands do not meet the
IOTA qualifications for "islands".  The Bronx is geographically part of the
mainland.

Clear Day
Nov. 2, 2002


It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Dan Robbins - KL7Y. On 
Oct. 31, 2002 Dan was in a motorcyle accident on the Big Island of Hawaii - and 
did not survive his injuries.

Dan has always been like a part of my famliy - we lived close to each other, 
and would help each other often. I am still in shock, as well as many other 
friends are over this.

Dan was just finished with the CQWW contest at KH7R, I am sure many of you had 
worked him during that time. He was in a place that he loved, doing what he 
loved, and had the pleasure to visit with many of his friends at the contest 
station. I am sure they are all gratefull of that time together.

We will all miss that familiar voice, and fist of KL7Y, his sense of humor, and 
his knowledge. We have spent so much time working on towers together, repairing 
amp's,  cutting phasing lines, enjoying famliy cookouts, and holidays. I don't 
think I will ever find a better friend.

I know we all have fond memories of Dan, so he will live on in our minds and 
hearts.

I spent many days being his ground man while he did tower work, looking up for 
hours to assist him. Dan, I am still looking up.....

There are a finite number of individuals that could be considered
"icons" of radiosport and without exaggeration or embezzlement, KL7Y was
one of them.

I remember the first time I worked Dan, many years ago during a DX
contest. I remember thinking to myself, "Hmm, KL7-*Yankee*, he must
really be an OM to have a call like that." Since then, I have been able
to work him everytime I heard him on. While we worked many times over
the years, one QSO sticks out. The summer before this past I was making
skeds to finish up my 5BWAS award and in response to my e-mail request,
Dan, who did not even know me personally, agreed to a QSO on 80m. Our
sked was in August (a tough month for the low bands in AK given the
limited darkness) at well after midnight AK time, and according to Dan,
he stayed up late just for our QSO. The QSO was not easy, but we made it
anyway and Dan was even kind enough to stick around a few extra minutes
to work my Dad, N3FX.

Not long afterwards, the QSL card for the contact arrived in the mail. I
received many of Dan's QSLs over the years, yet every time I was
continually in awe of their uncanny beauty: each depicted a picturesque,
snow-laden slice of the hilly, serene Alaskan wilderness with "KL7Y"
boldly printed in the corner. I never sent KL7Y a QSL card in which he
did not respond punctually. Despite the fact that has was probably
inundated with QSLs from his many operations (many of them
multi-something), he always sent one upon request, and there are few
greater signs of altruism in contesting than a major station who QSLs
100% with all deliberate speed. His QSL ethics were of the rare variety
these days; I could name several stations subscribed to this reflector
whose ethics lag in comparison.

The news of his death came suddenly, I read about it only a few days ago
on the PVRC reflector, but his impact on ham radio and contesting will
not soon be forgotten. Although his key may now be silent, his signal is
not, and I consider myself privileged to have known and worked him.
Although that familiar "Kilo Lima Seven Yankee" will no longer enter the
Heil headset and illuminate the s-meter when I point the beam up towards
Alaska, I know he'll always be there. To Dan's family, I send my
condolences for your loss and my wishes of strength for the future, and
to Dan, thanks so much for the QSOs and for your kindness and I'll catch
up with you on 3830 when the contest of my life reaches 2400z as well.

I thought NYC was created in 1899.  Otherwise, no issues.  I
was born and raised in NYC (Queens) but left in 1975.

There's lots of people wanting to secede.  Folks in western
Kansas want to be part of Colorado; NYC wants to be a state
unto itself so its taxes will stay in the city and not go to
Albany; Staten Island wants to be part of NJ.  Connecticut
claimed part of Pennsylvania until the early 1800's!

Oh, well.

I will always remember Halloween 2002.

My father, KL7FH, called me on the phone and told me the bad news.  At first
I was in shock, and then I was in denial.  After that, I was extremely
sad... and then denial kicked in again.

KL7Y was my contesting Elmer.  I don't think I would have gotten into
contesting so much if it wasn't for him.  He invited me up to his fantastic
station for a CQWW CW M/M when I was 13.  I didn't really know what to
expect, but I had fun, and I was hooked.  I was there for almost every
multi-op afterwards, and even a single op or two.  I can remember sitting up
in the middle of the night with Dan milking 20 meters and the low bands, and
waiting for 10 to open up over the pole.  Now that I think back... those
were "the good old days."  I didn't know Dan as long as some of the other
regulars like WL7E, or KL2A (ex NL7GP), but it feels like I knew him longer
than 7 or 8 years.

Dan was absolutely one of the nicest people on the planet.  He was extremely
generous with his station, and with his expertise.  A contest at KL7Y was
never bad, no matter how bad the conditions were.  It was great to sit down
and pick his brain about things.  "Where do I point the antenna now?"  "Is
it better to concentrate on DX now, or should I run states?"  It may not
seem like much, but it meant a lot to a youngster full of enthusiasm.  Dan
was always right there, showing me what to do, and giving me tips on how to
do better.  I feel like I was always asking him questions, and asking his
opinion.  When we weren't operating, I was listening to his great stories of
contests past.  Anyone who has met Dan knows what I am talking about.

He was a joy to operate with, and a great person to just hang out with.  A
great leader at the Multi-ops, who welcomed everyone.  I really can't put
words to how much we all miss Dan already.  He loved contesting, and his
enthusiasm rubbed off on everyone who was around him.  Not hearing the KL7Y
station on for SS this weekend was very sad.  Hopefully I can muster up the
motivation to do CQWW CW.... things will just never be the same.

I will always remember Dan and the great times I had with him.
Halloween 2002 was the end of an era.

I've heard that California has wanted to secede.  Having spent some time
in Los Angeles, I can't figure out if it's another country or another
planet.  Cruise down Hollywood Boulevard on a Saturday evening some time
...

BTW, East Central Illinois is probably the only place where you can visit

To all:

I was very pleased to see well over 400 QSOs get through.  The rig was
acting up... cutting in and out, and shifting frequencies, I was sick as a
dog, we had an earthquake in KL7 which shook our house quite a bit, (I am
subject to motion sickness!) and to top it off a loader operator came by on
Sunday??? afternoon to level our yard and I had to be with him.

An unusual number of people did not listen to the pileup and asked me to
stop and give them the QSO number, Check or Section and hold up the pileup
instead of them just listening.

I feel that they should get it from the next exchange, or better yet, have
the information typed into their logger by listening to the previous QSO and
just have the number ready in case I call them.

This SS was a very maddening experience and many of you almost lost out to
frustration.  I was ready to give the Omni-V the 18 wheeler instruction set.
If all of the wheels that are in a row on the left side roll over the rig,
it is sure to remember how it made me feel.  One of these days...  (Chen,
don't worry, I'd send it back to you instead)

Many station ops did not listen to my requests.  I stood by for QRP, usually
near the half past window and had M, U, A, and B give me calls, and it was
amazing how many people who hear my request for 8A? understand it to be
their call which has neither an 8 nor an A in it.

Some of the callers have, over the years, become my good friends.  It puts
me in a dilemma when I have to embarrass you in front of the whole pileup.
I do not know how to handle these things without causing someone upset.  I
have an enormous amount of gratitude for what everyone has done for me, and
still must manage the pileups.

I am normally much more patient, but with the illness, and the rest of the
things I was fighting, it was very difficult for me.

For those I was rude to, I apologize, for those that I helped, you are
welcome.

******************

Dan was vacationing in Hawaii. He loved to come here, participate in a
contest from KH7R (in shorts and no shirt - no less, something he certainly
couldn't do at home) and spend some time on the other beautiful islands.
This time was no exception. After a great effort at KH7R, contesting stories
in the off hours and several meals off the "barbee", Dan traveled to the Big
Island of Hawaii to visit others and relax. As he worked for Raytheon, he
decided to visit one of their sites located there. He told his boss on the
phone that he was going to rent a motorcycle and see the crew.  Apparently,
he was on the way back over the winding S-curves of the upper highway
between Waimea and Kona. I presume Dan may have been traveling in the clouds
or possibly patches of rain at those heights. I can only conclude that
unfamiliarity with the equipment, road and conditions added up to a
disastrous combination. He was not wearing a helmet.

We who knew him and enjoyed this last opportunity to radio contest with him
are still in shock. Surely it couldn't happen to him! Dan was always the
friendly and helpful guy. With great knowledge of running a Multi-Multi
effort from his own station in relatively rare Zone 1. We all benefited from
his presence and contributions. I had the opportunity to visit him and stay
at his house / station on a hill in Wasilla, Alaska. His station showed the
typical simplicity and ingenuity that amateur's show when "home-brewing" a
large
station without spending a fortune. I loved his concept of mowing the tall
grass around his towers...flatten them with his pickup when he turns around.
Hey, it worked. From his inverted Rubbermaid tub to cover some switching
arrangements to his old mobile van outside the house (the one with more
growing in it than in his driveway), Dan's cedar home 'spoke'  ALASKA the
last frontier of our country.

With his white hair and mustache he always looked the part of his well-loved
demeanor, the friendly and kind gentleman. I am sure that the many people
who knew him, had the opportunity to work him and operate with him will
agree. Though I never envied him working on his towers (brrrrr - cold)
compared to the weather at KH7R, I wish I had been able to spend more time
getting to know him better in his element.

Dan, whatever station you're going to operate from up there...I hope it has
the beauty of the Northern Lights, the balmy weather of Hawaii, the
propagation of the Caribbean or HC8 (that we both long for) and all the
'rate' you can handle. We will all miss you for you left us far too soon.
Don't forget to talk to us on 80 and 160 when it seems only KL7Y and KH7R
are on in the Pacific in the middle of the night (we need to keep each other
awake). Safe journey.

Aloha, 73  Kimo Chun, KH7U (one of the gang at KH7R)

**********

My very long time best friend, Dan KL7Y

     I have spoken with Dan's family and asked permission to post the
following information. I have offered to handle any email condolences
regarding Dan KL7Y. I will take them with me to Illinois for the funeral to
give them to his family and long time girl friend. The information is listed
at the bottom. Please pass this to the different reflectors Dan may have
been on.
     I had the very great honor and privilege of knowing and contesting with
Dan from 1979 until his last contest at the KH7R station last week. I recall
looking over at Dan on the 20m station during our last contest together
while he was working EU late at night. He gave me the 'thumbs up' as he
always did from his home station every time. He was having fun. When he left
the KH7R station headed for Kona I told him 'see you next month.' To my
great sorrow this will be my last trip to see my friend Dan.
     This is a great loss to the contesting community, ham radio, and the
lives of many. To those of you who have expressed condolences and inquired
about the services, I say thank you. There are no words that can describe
Dan. But I believe the post from John WA2GO sums Dan up eloquently and
concisely. John is one of the KL7Y contest group who also went to Hawaii for
Dan's last contest.

Yo,
A kinder, more generous gentleman you will not find anywhere. Dan was
Alaska's amateur radio ambassador to the world, was a great elmer, a great
technician, a first class operator, and a touchingly benevolent person. He
happily shared his station and his skills with anyone who wished to be
blessed with his company. He had no secrets, no skeletons, no "bad" side. I
loved that guy, and I will miss him for the rest of my life. He will live on
as an inspiration to anyone who knew him.

73 Danno,

John
WA2GO

Dan was a levi and tshirt kind of guy. The family will be burying him in his
favorite attire. Anyone who can attend the services please know that casual
attire is appropriate.

73,
Joe - WL7E

I was on an Air Force trip to Anchorage in 1993 and called Dan about the 
possibility of joining him for CWSS.  He was delighted to have me join Jon 
NL7GP (now KL2A) and him for the contest.

When I arrived at his place, he and Jon had just finished the tower work, 
performed in subzero weather.  I found Dan to be a unique individual -- a 
tough and determined competitor, but also a warm and gregarious person.

I was overwhelmed by his generosity as he opened his station to this complete 
stranger.  Alaska nights provide long hours with little to do when conditions 
are bad.  
Dan filled the hours with laughter and war stories about his contesting 
experience.

Dan's station reflected his commitment to the hobby.  I hope that somehow 
there will be someone to fill the huge pair of shoes that Dan leaves behind.  
He is a true contesting legend and an exemplary contesting mentor.

Thank you, Dan, we will all miss you.

Paul R. Schaffenberger, K5AF

I agree with Pete, N4ZR, and think that no one was being malicious, but just
aggressive because of an overly large desire to get that mug.

What I do not understand is how THAT contest turns some of my good friends
into Mr.Hyde's.  SS is the only one that does it.

Say, perhaps the idea of increasing the sections will do it.  If each
section has the same population as Yukon, 30,000... 300,000,000 divided by
30,000... that would make it about 10,000 sections... That is the answer!  I
hope ARRL is reading cq-contest, just imagine how much paperwork it will
save not having to order mugs.

Please remember in the phone SS contest to treat VY1MB well, as I do not
want him discouraged... He has become a reliable source to draw on for YT
multipliers.

To all of the contesting community, thanks for your friendship.

J.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] sharing beverages
Message-ID: <001a01c28413$a81fda20$357ef3d8@n7df>

J., I suggest you encourage him to go split, and announce it every 
QSO.  "Up 5" only takes a tenth of a second, and nobody will begrudge him 
the spectrum space.

You should get a coffee urn for working 30000 sections.  Along that line I 
always thought a great contest would be on in which you worked zip codes for 
multipliers. Final score is zips time qsos.  What say?

I've been working with a local fella on getting into "contesting."
Everybody needs an elmer, so it seems.  After much encouragement and proding
on my part, he gave it a go on CW during SS.  Below you will find his
comments.  I've scrubbed his name to eliminate any embarassment.  Comments?

Just be careful of who is on the frequency you're listening on if you go
split. There was an interesting situation Saturday evening in the CW SS
when the 3XY7 DXpedition showed up working split on 40 CW.  He
developed quite a pileup so I guess there were a lot of DXers not
participating in the contest, or some contesters decided to take a little
break and work a new one. 

I listened for a bit; there were stations working the contest on his
listening frequency who tried to work the stations calling the DX.
It was "interesting".

Sounds like fun.

To be sure the east coast retains their usual contest advantages (not my
view, but the view expressed by others in other threads), let's make the
final score the sum of zip codes worked.

Hi Bill,

Now, that sounds like fun.  Just as long as no one "goes postal".  :-)

I wonder whatever happened to the Frostbite Falls Beach Party, which took 
place in the winter? The exchange was the outside temperature and entered
into the scoring.

My QRSs got ignored too. Gave up on that after about 5 times.
No one had to tell me to leave though. I was already gone.

What's with the 30++ wpm code? Does it really help rate?

My key stays out of the box.

Comments?

By and large all of us will QRS to help a newbie get a contact, but in
all honesty we may not slow down as much as we think.  In most contests,
especially during 'peak' hours, I run my CW at 32WPM.  I temper that a
little in SS, generally running at 28WPM.  When I get a slooowwww call
from KG6XXX I'll drop down to 20WPM.  To me that speed is glacially slow
and I can just feel my queue of waiting callers evaporate, but in
reality it's STILL possibly 400% too fast for KG6XXX.

Radiosport contesting is a COMPETITION just like golf tournaments,
football games, and NASCAR races.  If you want to play in the Masters
with Tiger Woods, the Super Bowl with Joe Montana, or race Mark Martin
in the Winston 400, you will probably first need to gain some basic
skills in a less competitive environment.  If you don't, someone might
slow down and tell you to "go awy".

Sorry your friend was offended, but perhaps we shouldn't drag people to
the big dance until they've been 'elmered' in a quieter venue.

Unsportsmanlike?  Unspeakable is a better word.  W4KFC usually worked the SS
(at least the last day) at about 20 WPM.  "Go awy" is limiting the number of
contacts that can be made by not slowing down.  Who knows the station that
goes away might be South Dakota, Mississippi, or VY0.  There is NO ROOM in
contesting for the rude operators.  Why don't these guys go to 2 meters and
interfere with repeaters or something?

This guy has got to be a crackpot!!!

Considering how qso's become hard to find on the second day of SS,  I can't
imagine anyone telling him to go away UNLESS he sent his call over and over
and over.  Then I send the report and he again sends call over and over and
I QRS and give entire report and he gives his call over and over and over
and I slow down even more and give the whole report (slow so that it means
I've taken a couple of minutes just to send one report) and he still acts
like he can't figure out his name.  THEN I'd tell him to go away!  I didn't
work anyone like this,  but there has to be more to his story!

Were we were all born sending 45 wpm with a silver key in our fists?  I think 
not!

Just consider - if a 10 wpm QSO takes six times as long as usual to complete, 
it might displace 20 or 30 of those marvelously productive "CQ SS" we all sent 
about, oh, three thousand times on Sunday with no response whatsoever.  On the 
other hand, the potential for THOUSANDS of CW contacts has now been effectively 
removed from the contest community.

Yes, I fidgeted through a dozen or so really S-L-O-W contacts, but I didn't 
lose my frequency.  One was a needed multiplier from the Midwest.  On two, 
somebody sent "?" over the QSO, but I was able to send "AS" right back at 35 
wpm and never missed a beat.  I would have loved to have more slow folks call 
in on Sunday when the bands were full of CQ machines (mine included).

Please - choke down the adrenaline just a tad and get some perspective on what 
it must be like to try to enter our sacred CW lovefests.  You, too, were once 
slow and poked along at 13.001 wpm.  But it didn't kill the Gods of Contesting 
to slow down for your one measly QSO filled with errors and repeats.

There is nearly always room in the contest for the new, the old, the casual.  
It's not the Olympics.

A certain level of proficiency is required even to get your feet wet,
apparently he has not yet reached that. Perhaps it would be better to assist
him in improving his CW skills first.

I've operated the CW SS for several years from N5XU multi-ops, and it's
about the only CW contest operating I do all year, aside from occasional 
CW QSOs in the VHF contests or hunting states in the ARRL 160.  I can 
go pretty comfortably at 17WPM now, but beyond that I get into trouble.

My experience is that trying to S&P is a complete waste of time.  The 
exchange is so long that the amount of time necessary to try to copy
enough bits and pieces to make the whole thing and have any hope of 
getting the serial number right is too much.  So, I always climb way up 
to the top of the band and call CQ at 15WPM or 16WPM.

My experience calling CQ at 15 or 16 WPM in the CW Sweepstakes is that 
almost nobody will slow down to meet my speed.  Usually, I'm facing CW going
at over 20WPM, and at best someone will come down to 18WPM or so.  This 
year, I made very few QSOs because I had too much else going on over the 
weekend, but I had one station call me at well over 30WPM.  I called CQ again.
Again, he sends his call at well over 30WPM.  We did this THREE TIMES before 
he gave up.  I had but one station answer my CQ at my own speed, and it was
the one station I didn't need to ask for a fill on the exchange.

I've done this for several years now, made several hundred QSOs in total, 
enough to know that this year is no fluke.  CW contesters in the Sweepstakes 
will generally speaking not QRS, and when they do, they will not QRS all 
the way down to match your speed if you're going under 20WPM.  They will not 
do this even if you are the one calling CQ and setting the expected speed.  
They will not do this even if you are the one calling CQ and you explicitly 
asked them to QRS.

Other contests may be less like this.  The ARRL 160 Contest, for example, 
I think is quite different.  But CW SS is not a good contest for a QRS CW 
operator - it is quite hostile.

I know what you mean, Don.

I tend to send at around 29-31 unless asked to slow down (happened once this
weekend) or I feel the station calling me at a slower speed needs the slower
speed.

I ran a little test here using this exchange at different speeds:

K5RC 733 Q KG5U 59 STX

15wpm = 18s
20wpm = 14s
25wpm = 12s
30wpm = 10s
35wpm = 8s

While there's not much time difference between sending the exchange at 30
and 25 wpm's, it sure does seem like 25wpm takes forever by listening
comparison.

If I sent every exchange at 25 wpm rather than 30 wpm, that 2 second
difference would really add up over the number of QSO's made during the
contest: 2 * 773 = 1546 seconds = 25.8 minutes.

If a station averages a QSO rate of 60 QSO's an hour (one a minute) during
the contest (not me!), that's 26 QSO's.

There have been placques awarded and top-ten box appearances missed based on
smaller QSO differences than that.

All one needs to do is ask me to QRS and I will.

Maybe that was the Gent's problem - his key is "in the box" way too often... 
Can't expect to drop a rookie in the Indy 500 & do well, without many, many 
practice laps to get them up to speed.
Same thing in this instance. Sorry if he felt that way...
I'm not even sure if I can QRS to "low-code" anymore. By the time I sent to

I on the other hand completely agree with the lack of QRS. Not any
specific person, but it was plentiful. I don't see much logic in late
Sunday S&M going like a bat out of hell! 

On the other hand, that W5 I worked with a bug had such a swing to it

So, how do you add up the zip codes?

:)

In all seriousness, there WAS an actual ZIP CODE CONTEST when I was first
prowling the pages of QST for operating events in the early 70s.  I operated
it.  I probably have a certificate around here somewhere.  I don't recall
how it was scored.

Wish I knew who this pea-brain was that said "go awy"!  I had the "alt-v" on 
NA set for 22wpm, instead of usual 32. I had several guys call in very slow,  
& made use of the alt-v for them. I know they were tickled to make a Q, & I 
was very happy for them to call!  Takes all kind ,I guess. Just shooting 
ourselves in the foot!

I'm sorry there are a few jerks out there, but really don't think that was 
representative.  I didn't hear anything like that, and heard a number of 
big dogs slowed down to 13 WPM.  I also didn't have a single station ask me 
to QRS, though a few obviously had trouble copying till I slowed 'way 
down.  I was glad to.

My best advice for a new guy would be to wait till Sunday afternoon, when 
everyone has slowed down, and people are fishing on the high end of the 
bands.  It's much more rewarding and less intimidating than the first few 
hours.  The designated slow zones high in the bands also aren't so crowded 
as on Saturday night, when the mob spreads far up the band.

Whoever did that is an embarrassment to our sport.  Shame.

I suppose it's possible Ford's new CW-op apprentice who apparently just took
his key out of the box because he said "I stuck my key back in the box",
might not have copied the code well enough, and may not have been told "go
awy."

But my wife says I am an eternal optimist.

That's unfortunate...

However, it's hard to use a large CW contest like SS to start learning 
Morse code at speed.

That said, he should have done a few things:
1) Go very high in the band and answer slow stations or call CQ at your 
own rate.
2) Send at a rate no faster than what you expect the other station to send 
back to you.  The station you are calling should slow down to match your 
speed (to a large extent) if they answer you. 
3) If that doesnt work for you, dont bother copying the exchange (and dont 
submit a log).  Get the callsign before you call, try to copy what you can 
and then send your exchange back promptly  when it's time.  (Of course, 
this wont help SMC if that's the goal ;} )

If all else fails, wait til Sunday afternoon during the football games and 
almost anyone will slow down to work a new Q!

FWIW, I've been conscious of this code-speed thing for years.  I was 
surprised that most folks were at 32 or below, even on Saturday night.  I 
spent Saturday at a base speed of 29, and Sunday mostly at 26.  QRSed a lot 
without being asked, which is a good thing, because I never was asked, even 
though some guys couldn't copy at my base speed.

Thats how you improve- by working the contest! I'm no speed demon and simply
didnt work guys who wouldnt slow down- Happily, I found most did- and noting the
calls, they are the higher scorers- In 2 instances, the running station I called
slowed down to below 5 WPM to make a point- He lost my Q and wasted time-
Now, I'm good to around 30WPM,  but some of the stations were running crazy
speeds- and ironically, they were NOT the normal high scorers.
Dont blame the victim here- either slow down to the callers pace or lose the Q.
FWIW-

Evidently you had reached a level of proficiency that made that possible.
Just having ordinary (non contest) QSOs is another method of increasing CW
profiency. How about a guy who is just at the stage of learning the alphabet
in terms of dits and dahs, by your arguement he too should be using contests
to improve.

I think just about everyone would slow down for someone if they asked, 
especially Sunday afternoon.  But I wonder, how many would slow down to 5 
WPM?  Remember, that is the code speeed of the newbies...even newbie extras.

The exchange of KG4XYZ Nr 1234 B K4XS 62 WCF would take about 50 seconds and 
the return exchange would take another 50 seconds to receive....almost two 
minutes, if no repeats were required.  Honestly, how many of the big guns 
would do that in the first hour of the contest when they are running a 100 
hour?  Whatdya think?

While I know that newbies can be overwhelmed by
the 'speed merchants' on contests.. I have just
one observation to make..

I wonder if, in the future, that when we ELMER a
newbie (or an 'oldbie' that has been away from
the game for a while) into the contesting fold
that we have him/her either sit WITH us as we
operate so we can help themovercome such
occassionas as this new guy experienced OR we can
jump into hold their hand until they get thier
'Contest legs'.

Just a thought. I'm not saying what was done was
wrong, I wasn't there and I don't know the guy or
his situation.. but I, personally, have always
had a newbie/oldbie sit alongside me or some
other experienced hand to get their feet wet and
get over the jitters.

Just a thought.

Sort of like getting your feet wet on your first DXpedition by going to
Heard Island?

I'd really like to go on a DXpedition some day, but I think I'll get some
experience by going somewhere like Antigua, Bahamas or St. Kitts.  Perhaps
a new contester could get his code speed up by participating in smaller
contests.

Then again, it's attitude that counts ... if you really want to learn
something, you ignore the setbacks.

For SS Phone, how about working split transmitting just below the US phone
band on 10, 15 and 20 and listening up. Yeah, a little unorthodox, and the
pileup won't be that big because not many will find you there, but that's
the idea isn't it.

Interesting chart Dale.

I tend to slow down quite a bit if the station calling has a long
unrecognized call or if they are sending slowly. That is sometimes, but not
always. Nobody asked me to QRS.  Some of those 30 and 40 check guys using
chirpy breadboard rigs and bugs can't send past 20 words a minute, but they
can copy upwards of 50 I'd venture to say. As Jay eluded to, in S&P mode in
every contest but the Sprint, you can listen prior to as well as after
making a "contact" to see if you got the right info. That may not be the way
it's supposed to be done, but we've all done it on occasion. That's why the
sprints are the true test of operating ability, there's no sandbagging, but
the reason I like SS is that it has everything.

*You get the rate of Saturday (great fun)
*You have the intrigue of wondering whether to run or search for mults early
on
*It has a fixed number of mults equalizing the battle field somewhat
*It tests your perseverence on Sunday
*It allows anyone from anywhere who enters the game late to taste the frenzy
of a mondo pileup without going on a DXpedition. (We should market this
'fresh meat' appeal of sweepstakes by taking out Sunday tv adverts to be run
during halftimes of the ballgames--does anybody on here work for the brewing
industry?).
*and about a buzillion other aspects of ss


It always seems uncanny how fast the code sounds after QRSing down to around
20wpm and then ramping back up to 30+wpm. Likewise, going from 36 wpm (after
milking a ten deep pile dry) and dropping down to 30 wpm makes the 30wpm
seem like trying to run in a swimming pool--it's sloooowww. I guess that's
why N0AX in his email of last week suggested that newcomers code speeds
would double if they'd only get on and operate.


snip--------------------------
I ran a little test here using this exchange at different speeds:

K5RC 733 Q KG5U 59 STX

15wpm = 18s
20wpm = 14s
25wpm = 12s
30wpm = 10s
35wpm = 8s

One factor which I believe played a part in the frenzy over NWT and NL 
during SS CW this past weekend was due to the bad radio conditions which 
were forecast for Sunday.  VY1JA himself said (paraphrased) "If you hear me 
Saturday work me" which was a legitimate concern but may have fueled the fire.

I know at our K8CC multi the bad Sunday forecast made us eager to work any 
of the less than common VE sections.  The specter of disturbed condx seemed 
all too possible when the first few VE6s and VE7s we worked were not loud 
at all and spots for VE4s and VE5s were barely audible here.  Nonetheless, 
VE1OP had a good signal and was easily worked early on 21 MHz, and both 
VY1JA and KL7XX had decent signals when worked the first night on 28 MHz.

Its always interesting to note which section multipliers turn out to be the 
hardest to get.  K5ZD and others missed NL, while we had three call 
us.  Too bad we can't set aside the spares for another contest :-)

Hi Ford,

I hope you pass these and other's comments on to your friend.

It is indeed regrettable that this experience occured. If someone did tell
him to "go awy" that person deserves a huge raspberry for behaviour not only
unbecoming a contester but also unbecoming any member of the human race.

That said, there's never just one side to any situation. It deserves mention
that contesting is unlike any other facet of ham radio. It is to the casual
operator what The Masters is to a Sunday duffer. The people who play
contests do so to win. It's not your average Sunday afternoon gab fest.

That's not to excuse the rude, callous behaviour identified but it does
exhort the newbie to be sensitive to the realities at play. If an op is
running stations at 100/hr, he is going to pick out calls at 35 wpm faster
than calls at 10 wpm, so a newbie could be left waiting for the pileup to
calm down. This weekend, I had completed my report to one station before
another, slower op, had finished sending his call. I wasn't deliberately
snubbing the QRS op, it just happened that way.

Now, when we do work someone who requests a QRS we should, and I think in
large measure do. There are exceptions to every rule, a bad apple in every
bushel, etc. Be that as it may, I don't QRS unless asked or if I'm answering
a QRS CQ. Invariably, I'll answer a 15 wpm call at 28 and encounter no
resistance. So it's a bit of a gamble on my part that I won't have to send
it again, but 9 out of 10 it pays off. It at least pays off enough to make
up for the odd QSO where I do have to send again. It's also a gamble that
the person will tell me if he missed something, but I think that's a fairly
safe bet.

To Ford's friend: Please don't base your opinion on contesting on this
weekend alone. I do think the suggestions that perhaps you were in over your
head are fair. Work on your code speed (SuperMorse is a great CW trainer,
you can find downloads on the Web). Listen to other contests, even phone
contests, to get a feel for how contest QSOs operate. They are different.
Practise in smaller contests, like state QSO parties. Practise code by
operating casually. This will help develop not only speed but also the
biological QRM filter that is so vital to operating in today's bands.
Realize that QRM happens. We all deal with it and nobody is targetting you
with QRM. Try to align yourself with multiops who can Elmer you personally
during slower times.

It takes time, but it IS worth it. Unfortunately, playing SS as your first
contest is a bit like putting on roller skates for the first time and
expecting to keep up with the Roller Derby crowd. SS is a juggernaut that
moves at breakneck speed.

73, kelly

Yes.  They should do whatever they feel they need to in order to deal with
the pileup.

In many cases, this would be highly preferable to the nonsense that happens
during a high desperation pileup.

Your point is taken- But at the same time, by your argument, you can
forget the 20-30% of contest qso's that come from  guys who never send in
logs- they're there to participate- and they make up lots of q's! Let's at
least give em a shot-
And I dont think a guy who is barely learning dits and dahs is who we're
talking about - its the guys that are good to 15-20WPM but cant handle
40+- Be careful not to disclude these guys from the fun of playing the
game--

Here's my experience learning "contest code".  I call it "contest code" 
because I know I can't keep up with 30wpm in conversational CW, but for the 
short bursts in contests, my brain can usually handle it.

My first experience with high speed contest style CW was on field day 
several years ago.  Two very proficient CW ops were running, one working the 
stations, the other logging and duping.  Filters wide open, no headphones.  
Sounded like a mess to me.  My meager 13 words per minute I had passed the 
week before seemed woefully inadequite. 

Even though I was very intimidated, I sat down and listened for a while, 
catching about 1 letter out of 10.  After a while I started to pick up on 
the rhythm of the QSO's and was recognizing patterns (like there was our 
callsign, followed by some number, then some letters). 

I was just getting up to leave, when the guy logging said he had to take a 
break and would I sit down and log.  I said there was no way, but the guy 
running the stations said he would call out what I needed to write down.  So 
off I went, pretending to hear what was being copied.  The op turned on the 
narrow filter, and suddenly I heard only 1 signal instead of 10.  Whoa, I 
could actually copy a little better now, maybe getting 1 character out of 5. 

This lasted for probably half an hour or so.  We had a great run frequency.  
I was starting to catch the first parts of callsigns (not too hard when you 
only have to listen for A,K,N,W), and the first part of exchanges.  I was 
impressed with myself.  Aparently so was the op, because he suddenly said he 
had to go to the restroom, pushed the key in front of me and turned down the 
keyer speed a little. 

WHOA!  There was someone else in the tent now, and he offered to log and 
help copy.  What was nice is that he made me work for it.  I was asking for 
fills, repeats, etc. at probably 20wpm.  I worked guys for probably an hour 
after that, progressivly getting better at my copy. 

The next week I went and passed my 20wpm, which I thought I'd never get! 

This past weekend I had writelog set at 28WPM, which is now fairly 
comfortable for my skills with "contest code". 

I guess what worked best for me was being thrown into the thick of things 
along with having some backup that made everything workable for both me and 
the calling stations. 

Hope these insights help, and hopefully your rookie CW contester won't give 
up.  Get a Y adapter for the headphone jack and work the next CW contest

I don't believe the subject is "guys that are good to 15-20WPM". A guy at
that speed would be able to get on and make contacts and would likely
improve rapidly. I have to think the guy that this thread is about is not up
to that level.

------------------------------
One of the problems is the minimum speed that the program will allow
you to go. I think CT will maybe go as slow as 16 WPM, but others will
not.

I love cw, but I am also legally deaf...if you consider -82db
down...And it's not going to get any better.
This may have been my last SSCW.

I can still do 30-35 , but noticed this year it was a lot harder. Plus
the headphones were practically
vibrating at the audio I had cranked in.

And all the denials are a bunch of crap! This has and will continue to
be a problem now that the CW requirements have been practically
eliminated.

Maybe we can come up with a gentleman's agreement that at 60 kHz up
from the bottom, the speed limit is
lower! Say 20-25...

Perhaps if we recognize this as a problem, we can work on it.

I guess there are at least two way to do Seach and Pounce: 

1)  Go up and down the band: if a station is working someone, tune by and
find the next guy calling CQ and hope that the next time down the band the
guy you skipped is still there and not in a QSO again.

2) Go up and down the band; if you encounter someone in a QSO wait till
he's done and then call him.

I did some of #1 but mostly #2.  Might as well enter the data from his
current QSO while I'm waiting my turn.  I don't think that violates any
rules.

Mr. Elmer you get 90% of the blame for this problem Why didn't you start him
out on WAE and sending QTC's. Then not only would he give up CW contesting
but he would have probably had to change his shorts. I've been at this CW
contesting stuff a long time and the accepted rule of thumb,in the past, has
ALWAYS been whatever speed the guy is calling CQ at is the speed of the
contact. Every year, Every year, I run across K0RF calling CQ in excess if
35 WPM. I answer him at that speed, out of respect to him, we send each
other the exchange and I move on. Boys and girls you have 363 days a year to
learn CW, at a reasonable speed, and practice your CW operating technique.
Saturday and Sunday, of SSCW weekend,  is NOT time to learn how to send CW
or how to contest.

Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.2.20021105073401.00a85590@pop.dc2.adelphia.net>

I'm trying to figure out my SS CW performance this year, while everything 
is still fresh.

In that connection, it seems to me that, at least for those of us East of 
the Mississippi, it's really two contests -- before and after the big break 
in the wee hours of Sunday morning.  I think a good metric would be to 
relate the first off time to the number of QSOs at that point, and compare 
to the total.

I'd like to compile some data in this respect, and will share the result 
with the reflector.  If you'd like to help, please send me the following 
direct, and I'll massage the figures and post them:

1 -- when did you take your break (Z)?
2 -- how many QSOs did you have at that point?
3 -- when did you resume in the morning (Z)?
4 -- how many total QSOs did you have for the contest?

As an example, my responses are:

1 -- 0717
2 -- 606
3 -- 1150
4 -- 1117

Thanks in advance!

Message-ID: <ADEJKJINLBKGMNGALFCFGEIAEFAA.W2CS@bellsouth.net>

I think Jim might have a good point here.

My son's first SS was right after he was a newly annointed General class op.
His code speed was solid at 10, good enough at 13, and 15 was ok.  We did an
multiop on SS.  He listened to me doing the first several hours and then
took a turn.

What I had him do was park on a CQer's frequency and copy the exchange. I
didn't care how long he took.  He also had to copy the last QSO's number and
write it down, too, before he called the guy.  This was when we still used
keyers/paddles, so he then had to call the guy at whatever sending speed he
could muster. That started out around 18, I'd say.  Remember, his code speed
was a shaky 15 at the time.  But all he had to copy was enough of what was
being sent to know when it was his turn to send and also when/whether a fill
was needed.

By the time SS was over, his code speed on receive was at least 25 and
probably 30.  Sending was in the same ball park.  On most Qs he no longer
had to wait several iterations to get the exchange, either.  The last few
hours he even had some runs going. It did take him a while to grab the
courage for that first CQ SS!

The point of this narrative is that motivation, expectations, and coaching
from a mentor are all crucial to success.  He thought he couldn't keep up;
so I gave him a way he could make Qs without the pressure (pre-copying).
This was exquisite code practice, but I didn't "sell" it that way.  His
expectations, once he heard me operate, were appropriately low, so that was
never an issue.  As for motivation...Have you ever issued a challenge to a
13 year old boy? !!

And you know, I didn't even have to "throw away" that SS from award
possibilities.  We ended up taking the Division!  And he did a fair amount
of operating.

I believe it is entirely possible for someone with 15wpm talent to succeed
in coming close to doubling code speed in a single contest.  But, it
requires a mentor to help out, IMHO, and it requires motivation on the part
of the newbie.  I have often found that motivation and the mentor's approach
are closely related.

I am a bit skeptical regarding someone with only a "familiarity with the
code"  (aka 5WPM) to succeed as my son did starting at 13.  Though with
computers to do the sending, it might work to some extent. In that case I'd
use the same approach, but pick a smaller contest, as others have suggested.

Maybe if many of us went multi-op with newbies we would find more Qs to work
the next year.

One thing I always do after SS is to filter my log for all the QSO's with 
checks more recent than a couple of years and send them QSL card with the 
PSE QSL box not checked. Maybe it will help some newer hams join in the fun 
again next time. It can't hurt and is just a few $'s very well spent, I think.

This idea was not mine originally, I believe it was first mentioned here a 
few years ago by someone.

Quack's    .02
I think that we are loosing Many newbies becauz of CW speed.  A friend and
his XYL both hams said that they got on during CQWW CW to try to work some.
The major problem, was they couldn't even get the call signs of the CQers  .
They both do CW around 15 wpm.
CW is a dying art and its going to have less and less of us to carry on,
I'm not a speed deamond. but when I call some stations that are CQing at 32
,  they seem to think they should come back to me at 40.  I do get the info
sometime but, that guy setting there trying to figure out his call and the
exchange info just got lost again.    I'm as guilty as the next guy in
cranking at 34/36 w/CQ SS, however I do slow down to the speed that somone
calls.

Last was KL7XX   78=WY  79=VE4   From  Illinois.
No fair changing the section in your logs now.

I'm sure there are some contesters that in some situations might tell a 
slow op to "go away" (and we don't know the full story on that) but it 
seems to me that Ford's apprentice was in over his head and not very 
enthusiastic to begin with (only after "much encouragement and proding" did he 
get on).

Perhaps he was looking for an excuse to stick his key "back in the 
box".  Sounds like CW isn't his "thing" and maybe he just doesn't *get* 
contesting.  My guess is that this "attempt" at Sweepstakes only 
reaffirmed his dislike of contests.

Message-ID: <20021105083136.6AA4.WINDEV@inetmarket.com>

Hey All,

Well, I'm sorry to hear that a newbie was treated rudely
by a contest op.  Sorry to say, but there are rude people
in any section of society.

I had a lot of fun this weekend, operating my favorite mode,
working a bunch of people who really know how to use a mode
that makes ham radio a unique hobby.  Yep, I went fast... CQing
at 35wpm, sometimes up to 38...  I had only ONE station ask for
a QRS, which he got immediately.  Even a guy sending a check of
44 (Not a club), sending on a straight key, or another with a 
check of 01, got my exchange 100% without a QRS.

It's a great pleasure working such skilled CW ops -- with very little
need for fills -- kinda like working 1RN back in the 70s and running a
ton of traffic without a single fill.  CW Contesters are a special breed!

I bet lots of newbies practice their CW skills by LISTENING to the high
speed guy, getting his basic info (maybe taking listening to 5 or 6 Qs),
then dumping in their call. (That's the way I did it many moons ago.)

Nope, I didn't get a sweep, and it's certainly not my best score --
only on for 11 hours -- but I had fun in one of THE best contests
around.  I can't wait till next year!

About 67K, 77 sections -- missed ME, WY, NL  -- Anybody else have
trouble with Maine?

KE1FO's description reminded me of something...

I learned CW memorizing dots & dashes with that bloody ARRL book.

Luckily, WB7DSI (now N7CF) demonstrated that after some operating
(Viking II & SX-101, w/SX-101 later replaced by some right whizbang
kit like an NC-300 & SB-301) I could easily copy the sidetone of his
Heathkit keyer (HD-1410?) at 15 wpm over the telephone, when I thought
double-digit speeds were impossible.

Somewhere around that time I recall trying to crack pile ups but the
mute switch on the receiver, B+ switch on the Viking & the knife switch
for the antenna were a little too much for late-70s DXing.

I believe there is a company with a four-letter brand name for footwear
that has a slogan that is applicable here: just do it.

Once upon a time, the guys we all look to today were the clueless gits
we are today.

Thats a shame, it sounds like he found the bad apple in the barrel.  I would
say that 99% of us would have slowed down.

I have my external keyer setup for slower speeds just for this reason.  I
find its easier to go to my paddle rather than change the speed on the pc
with a shift f9/f10.

As others have stated, throwing a newbie into SS wasn't a good idea. 
It has the most complex exchange of any major contest, as well as 
mostly seasoned ops. You wouldn't throw a newbie into a Sprint, would 
you? 

A state QSO party would have been a better choice. An even better 
choice would have been telling the newbie to first operate casual CW 
to become more proficient before trying his hand in a contest.

Just because the FCC has dumbed down licensing requirements doesn't 
mean we have to dumb down our operating abilities and acquiesce to 
mediocrity.

I would QRS if someone asked, but I'm typically not a speed demon on 
the sending end (just the receiving end), and I can't recall anyone 
ever asking.

    Methinks I detect some cw "elitism" here which is precisely why I gave up 
on the CW Sprint - too many cw elitists who weren't interested in slowing 
down or giving me the information I asked for. 

    CW SS should NOT be for hotshot cw ops only. I thought we were trying to 
encourage more activity.

Gang,

I just got back from driving 14 hours yesterday after working from
Lander, WY as a Q station.  I am posting a long report to QRP-L
and there will be a write up in World Radio, but here are a couple
of hints.

1.  Don't worry about the sections.  Work stations and they will
      come. {they ---  the sections}   On Sunday I was short
      ME and WY and 3 Canadian sections and you know those by
      heart by now.  :-)  I got a frequency (very difficult for a Q station)
      and made a short run on several bands and had ME and WY
      call me (WY was the other Q station in the state).

      I was hoping VY1JA was going to standby for Qs on the half-hour
      like he had in the past but the 10 meter pileup was large and so was
      the one just down the band for VO1MP.  QUESTION.  How do these
      guys work each other?

2.  Tree's comment about the unique stations brings up an interesting
      point.  I worked a couple of stations late Sunday.  They were giving
      out low serial numbers, so they just got started.  The thing that scares
      the stuffings out of me is that these guys are using bugs.  They could
      not send the same set of numbers twice!!!  Now I stopped and listened
      to three exchanges by the same station that I worked.  I will lose two
      Qs because I get credited with a bad exchange when I copied what he
      sent.  Next year from WY I may chose to not work anyone not using
      a computer for this reason.  I still don't know which one was the 
right one.

      Tree.  Does the computer check routine do anything about this?



>Present score for 2002 -----  85,008 points from WY.  Thanks to all you
guys and girls that worked the weak one with portable antennas in -15F
weather (I was inside but it was cold anyway and you put up antennas
in 0 degree weather and you know what I mean.)  :-)

Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.2.20021105100226.00a93260@3n.net>

I agree that newcomers need to be treated gently. I'm one myself. On the 
other hand, it is sometimes too easy for a newbie to be discouraged. 
Persistence, as it says in the Bible, pays off.

During SS, I started out Sat afternoon despairing of ever reading the calls 
and exchanges because they were sent at way over my 10-15 wpm speed. 
However, by that evening, either the senders had slowed somewhat or my 
ability to read had improved.

In fact, I began to look on the contest as fast code practice. I would hear 
a station and sit on its frequency as it exchanged with others. When I had 
all of the info, or all but one of the exchange items, I would call--with 
my hand key. Most ops realized that they were dealing with a 
less-than-great fist, and responded accordingly. Over the few hours I 
operated (after several hours of listening) I logged 15 QSOs. And I got all 
of the info correct, I think.

So my advice to a newbie would be either to sit beside someone for a 
while--but that can be daunting if the op is a 45-wpm type--or, better yet, 
use the SS and such as an opportunity to try reading fast code. One 
advantage of these CW contests is that the ops in the contest are almost to 
a man (woman) first rate and it is a pleasure to listen to good code.

So newbies, do not be discouraged.

John, W3ULS

I dont agree that we are losing newbies directly because of CW speed. 
There is just less interest and incentive in learning the code to start 
with....it has no more commercial/military viability.  You have to want to 
do it for JUST for fun and games now, which isnt enough incentive for most 
to become literate, let alone highly proficient.

It seems the average WPM speed is slowly dropping, with guys sending at 
over 35 wpm the exception rather than the rule as it used to be...

I think it would real interesting to see what happened if QSO's got 
deleted from the log if EITHER station messed up the exchange.  Right now 
there is no incentive for the fast guy to slow down and/or correct 
mistakes  once he has HIS exchange copied...   Most will take the time, 
but I'm sure some dont.

I also felt that activity from the NE was down quite a bit, but perhaps 
that was just band conditions.  I'm not used to hearing stations up and 
down the East coast on all bands almost all the time!

Quack's    .02
I think that we are loosing Many newbies becauz of CW speed.  A friend and
his XYL both hams said that they got on during CQWW CW to try to work 
some.
The major problem, was they couldn't even get the call signs of the CQers 
.
They both do CW around 15 wpm.
CW is a dying art and its going to have less and less of us to carry on,
I'm not a speed deamond. but when I call some stations that are CQing at 
32
,  they seem to think they should come back to me at 40.  I do get the 
info
sometime but, that guy setting there trying to figure out his call and the
exchange info just got lost again.    I'm as guilty as the next guy in
cranking at 34/36 w/CQ SS, however I do slow down to the speed that somone
calls.

Last was KL7XX   78=WY  79=VE4   From  Illinois.
No fair changing the section in your logs now.

At home I still send CW with a keyer/paddle.
I have op'd Field Day and other contests
at other places with the local club I used
to be with and used the computer (NA in our case) 
to send the exchange, call CQ, etc.  The 
difference is like night and day, especially
in removing sending mistakes, but also in speed
of handling the exchange.

Operating SS this last weekend with hand keying
was a bear, no doubt about it.  And I'm resolved
to add computer keying to my arsenal.

I'm surprised that no one has suggested this
possibility to the "slow" ops - using the
computer to at least send the code for you.
With the other S&P technique of listening to
an exchange or two ahead of your calling to get
the exchange, and then letting the computer
send your call and exchange at the faster 
speed of the other operator would solve many a
new operator's problems and anxiety.

I knew what I was getting into this last weekend.
I suspect the person we are all writing about
did not.  I, too, would second the notion that
this operator should have started in state QSO
parties and the like first.  I also support the
idea of local contesting clubs formed with a 
major idea of elmering new contest operators.
That is what I had where I used to live - it
helped me alot.

Cheers/73 from Iowa,

I find this debate interesting. I agree that slowing 
down is important and the guy who said "go away" was rude. 
Myself, I always tried to match the speed of my caller albeit
I probably could have gone even slower.

Then again, was the offended party really a contesting prospect?

I remember getting into CW contesting. High speeds were frustrating
to me as well. Yet, I WANTED to be a CW contester. I WANTED to be 
part of (what I consider) an elite subsection of the hobby. I 
knew that I had to pay my dues and gain experience. I even did 
some of things mentioned on this thread (as we all have)

 1) copying data down BEFORE calling (and AFTER)
 2) sitting beside better CW ops with an extra pair of headphones

That's because I WANTED to be a CW contester.

Just two weeks ago, I did my first big SSB (CQWW) contest - those same 
frustrations came over me again. I started all over the same way, 
Listening to CQers over and over until I got the call and sitting 
in with an experienced SSB operator to learn the ropes. I was contantly
shaking my head (how'd you get that call?). It's a whole new skill set 
but I'm not throwing in the towel. (It's funny, I never see anybody 
complain about SSB contest speed but they talk fast and not very clearly.)

Radio contesting is a unique sport. Not many sports let the newcomer
or even the casual player jump in with the big boys. We allow 
competitors and non-competitors to play. We have casual's looking 
for a new state/country, guys looking to win it all, and everything in
between. And then, on top of it, we want it to be fun and equal for 
everybody. :>)  That's because we who love the sport want to spread the
excitement we feel. 

Yes, we need new blood. Yes, we need to encourage sportmanship and
good behavior. But sometimes, we try to sell this sport to others
that it will just not EVER appeal too. Me, I will never golf. Can't
see any appeal in it. My friends tell me it's a great sport. I believe
them - it just doesn't strike my fancy. 

I suggest that our friend who is putting the key away in it's box may 
never have enjoyed CW contesting - even at 13WPM. Not everybody is a 
CW contester. He may have just tried it and decided he didn't like it. 
Fortunately, this is a hobby with many facets. 

I hope he can find one he does enjoy.

In-Reply-To: <00b301c284d2$ba0f5200$7311153f@hewlettykbipll>
Message-ID: <LOBBKFICDFPNLHBMOBDKEEKIGEAA.k0luz@topsusa.com>


There seems to be an assumption that there are a number of hams who would
like to operate contests but are afraid of the fast cw speeds.  I agree that
speeds are getting faster.  Back in stone age times (for me ...... late
50's,  hand keys and semi-automatic keyers (bugs) were the norm and it is
tough to send 35 wpm on a hand key or a bug.  Someone mentioned that W4KFC
always sent at 20 wpm and that's probably right because that was consider
the normal 'fast' back in those days.  Then we went to electronic keyers and
then to memory keyers and the sending got faster.  And you know what???  The
operators got used to receiving faster too!  So now we have this layer of
hams who grew up through these transistions and can handle it and we have
the hams that have no idea how to get up to the speeds we now use.  That's
why I heard no more than 50 contacts with a check of 95 or later with  qso
contacts of over 1000.  So what to do?

Some things have been tried such as suggesting that these operators move up
to the high end of the band and have their own 'slow' contest and when us
speed demons go up there we are suppose to notch our keyers back to their
speeds.  Noooooooo   problem,  but then I don't hear hardly anyone up there!
So here are some possible conclusions:

1.      The newbies are afraid to call CQ
2.      The newbies don't really give a damn about contesting (Quake is better 
on
Internet)
3.      We aren't doing a very good job of promoting the 'slow zone'

If there are indeed plenty of people who 'want' to operate slowly,  then
there ought to be fun just working each other at the beginning of the
contest and then make sure they all understand that on Sunday afternoon and
evening,  there will be many more stations who were previously not listening
that high in the band that will respond to their cq's.

I guess we need to get our marketing division working on this!

Quack's    .02
I think that we are loosing Many newbies becauz of CW speed.  A friend and
his XYL both hams said that they got on during CQWW CW to try to work some.
The major problem, was they couldn't even get the call signs of the CQers  .
They both do CW around 15 wpm.
CW is a dying art and its going to have less and less of us to carry on,
I'm not a speed deamond. but when I call some stations that are CQing at 32
,  they seem to think they should come back to me at 40.  I do get the info
sometime but, that guy setting there trying to figure out his call and the
exchange info just got lost again.    I'm as guilty as the next guy in
cranking at 34/36 w/CQ SS, however I do slow down to the speed that somone
calls.

Last was KL7XX   78=WY  79=VE4   From  Illinois.
No fair changing the section in your logs now.

I agree we need to look for more activity,  but if this is a contest and
contest are there to 'compete',  a qso that can be completed in 18 seconds
(assuming there are more stations standing by or will be quickly acquired)
is better than a qso taking 45 seconds.  And since most of us are optimist
(there is another station standing by to work me and if it takes too long,
the station will tune up the band),  quicker qso's are better!

    Methinks I detect some cw "elitism" here which is precisely why I gave
up
on the CW Sprint - too many cw elitists who weren't interested in slowing
down or giving me the information I asked for.

    CW SS should NOT be for hotshot cw ops only. I thought we were trying to
encourage more activity.

Cheers,
Steve     K7LXC

After a good chuckle at the riposte, it remains good advice.  No one is 
required to stay on a particular frequency.  If the mob gets too unruly - MOVE! 
 The best I've ever heard this done was by W6NV at SU2MT a few years ago.  When 
the rate dropped by about half, Oliver just moved up 2 kHz.  The receiver-less 
idiots just stayed there calling, while he called CQ once or twice and had a 
new pileup going at the new spot.  By the time scenario A repeated, the 
original frequency had cleared out, so back he went.  His overall rate remained 
much higher than if he'd stayed put.

Reinforcing a point made by others earlier - if there are specific instructions 
that the pileup should follow, repeat them with every QSO.  Whether it's "up", 
"EU", "QRP only", "zeros", whatever - it needs to be said with each QRZ.  
Remember that a fair number of the callers may have just tuned into the action 
and it only takes two or three to make mush out of things.  The small 
inefficiency incurred by the extra characters or syllables is paid back 
handsomely in higher rate, fewer repeats, and lower blood pressure.

73, Ward N0AX

Hmmmm. I thought we always played at contesting JUST for fun and 
games? Sure we want to improve our skills and our station - just so 
that it's even more fun.

As a 100% SSB op, let me humbly offer a suggestion. If you want to 
keep CW alive and thriving, you need to grab on to and WELCOME every 
5wpm newbie who shows up. A certain modest % of those will "get the 
bug" and will progress to become the next generation of serious CW 
contesters. That's what has happened here in central Texas. If you 
are unwilling to slow down in SS, at least make a firm commitment and 
serious effort through your clubs to search out, WELCOME and elmer 
some new 5wpm entrants. If you don't, all those new HF ops will end 
up just like NT5C.

73, John.

I agree that it would be mean, if nothing else, to just encourage someone very 
inexperienced to jump in without preparation.  "Here - just hold this rope, sit 
back on your skis, I'll fire up these twin Mercury outboards, and you'll have 
some real fun!  Here we go, now! 
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA....."

Right.  I don't think this was the case either.

One of the most important ingredients for success - which was not present in my 
original post, I admit - is listening.  Slow-speed ops can get a lot out of the 
contest if they are encouraged to figure out the general flow and timing first. 
 SS QSOs can be made a lot easier, as we all know, by getting all the 
information copied down first, figuring out what your number will be, and only 
then calling.

While we all post to each other - contesters all - wouldn't it be better if 
this instruction was made available as a Web site with some audio clips?  I'd 
be happy to contribute some writing if a Webmeister would step forward to put 
the site together.  I'm sure there are others out there with audio clips, 
photos, etc.

The point here is that we should be encouraging newer folks to pursue CW,
instead of discouraging them.  A good CW op should be able to work anyone,
fast or slow.  I've also experienced contest contacts where the op on the
other end would apparently prefer to make zero contacts in two minutes,
rather than make one with me.

Good observations Gerry.

I also had fun, although I did not get to spend enough time operating due to
some family stuff going on this weekend.

I really enjoy it when I call someone that I've probably worked in 20 or 25
CW SS's and they crank *UP* their speed when they know it's me.  I chuckle
every time - and am thankful that I'm still able to copy in "panic" mode.

I have never refused to QRS when asked, and was not asked this weekend.  I
did not exceed 32 WPM except when I was working some old guys I know can
copy faster.

I've been thinking exactly the same thing, especially for Sweepstakes. Of
course, rates would be lower due to QRS and extra fills, you could never be
absolutely sure the other guy got it right, and you lose if the other guy is
a lid. But there would be a heck of a lot more incentive to get it right,
which should be a paradigm of contesting. Besides, all ops would be faced
with the same set of skills on the other side, so the playing field would be
level.

While we're on the subject, the one-letter-wrong-in-the-call thing is kind
of silly -- either he got it right or he didn't. What difference does it
make whether one letter or two are wrong (aside from the fact that
two-letter errors are harder for the log check program to correlate with a
given call)? How many high-speed ops have heard the other guy get one letter
of their call wrong and think, "I'll still get credit for the QSO and it's
not worth my time to correct the call for him"?)

If we justify contesting by claiming that it prepares us for emergency
operations, then we have an obligation to ensure that the rules encourage
accurate communications.

Message-ID: <003501c284f3$0e228d60$12096cd8@jallen>

Ok rules buffs, here is one for you.

For the past years, through this reflector, QST, and other magazines,  I
have told people that I find a clear frequency as close to my MUF as
possible and on as close as possible to frequencies that end in 27, 37 and
17  like 28427 and 28327.  I applied this during SS CW and several people
commented that I was exactly where they expected me.  For example, I started
SSCW on 28027 and spent a lot of time working pileup on 28016 ( listening on
28017)

A concern was expressed that this may not be within the spirit of the rules.

As I understand the rules: it is against the spirit of the rules to use non
amateur means to solicit contacts during the contest.  It is also against
the spirit of the rules to schedule contacts.

I feel that since I do not know that any 27 frequency will be clear, and
that I do not know who will or will not find me on that frequency, nor even
if my MUF will allow QSOs on any band, that my actions are entirely within
the spirit of the rules.

By the way, I was told that my signals were weak and watery during SSCW
while your signals were clear and LOUD here.  I think that giving everyone
any clue as to how to find even a weak and watery rare multiplier will make
the contest more enjoyable for all.

Message-ID: <20021105174931.72876.qmail@web13302.mail.yahoo.com>

Greetings!

According to my limited perspective, it seems to
me we have 4 distinct types of ops who get on
during a contest.

1) the hardcore competitive type who will be
there come hell, highwater, aurora, solar flares,
Murphy, football, or meals.  They'll work anyone
anytime anywhere. Can be expected to be on, on
some band, the entire time they are allocated to
be on the air. Newbies, oldbies, and slowbies can
count on having multiple chances to work them. 
These stations can be 'precopied' and the info
saved so that all you have to do is copy the
serial no (SERNO) of their Q, and hit 'ENTER' on
the keyboard to have a valid Q when you DO work
them.  Hard core competitve types tend to not QRS
if calling CQ and you call them. They expect that
stations who answer thier CQ's should be able to
keep up in some reasonable manner. They WILL QRS
(usually) if asked but prefer that stations keep
up with them.  Many times their hand key/external
keyer is set to a slowerspeed for just this
purpose in case they need to hand key an exchange
or part of one.  They tend to think that if one
is entering the SS, once should expect that there
is a minimum level of competency expected and if
new or unsure one should expect to need help or
to be willing to put up with the expected higher
level of required ability.

2) The competitive type who wants to do well in
some personal category but will adapt to the
conditions at their own station/life. They are
usually on quite a bit, but they'll QSY/QRT
depending on personal needs or mood.  Newbies,
oldbies, and slowbies  can expect to find them
on, more often than not, but should try to work
them as they find them. Exchange can be
'precopied' like #1 but availbale opportunities
to do so may be limited or sporadic.  Same
logging scenario. Copy current SERNO, insert
precopied info, hit Enter and done.  They tend to
be very flexible to the speed of the station
responding  and will tend  to auto-QRS without
being asked.  Tends to have SOME of the attitude
of #1 in relation to the expecatations concerning
people who participate in the SS, but more
flexible in willingness to accomodate the
slowbies or newbies.

3) The casual contester. They get on as the mood
hits them and are interested in some personal
goal such as beating their previous score,
getting states for 5BWAS/WAS, practicing
techniques or just having some fun in between
other activities. Newbies, oldbies, and slowbies
should strive to stick with these folks as much
as they can and work them as they can. This
station will QRS or tend to be a bit slower than
the normal SS speed because they are not
rate-focused and are not as tuned to that aspect,
save when they get a run going if they choose to
run stations. They tend to submit logs for
scoring purposes.  Very flexible in their
attitude towards expectations that
newbies/slowbies should have. 

4) The non-contester. They get on to 'give the
gang a few points', seek states/provinces for
awards, check out their gear and antennas, and
generally have a good time without any sense of
interest in submitting a log. They will usually
QRS without asking and tend to be more 'laid
back'. Newbies, oldbies, and slowbies like these
types because they have (usually) zero problems
with speed of exchange since the non-contester is
not into it for points, rate, or other contest
specific reasons.

I know.. these are generalized examples and there
are sub-divisions within the categories.  These
are my own observations after many times opp'ing
in the SS.

Thoughts? I'm not looking for flames.. just
thoughts and comments.

If CW is dying.. why was 20/15 always filled with
stations working each other? hmmm.

Hey, I've got a crazy idea. If we want to encourage newer ops to contesting,
why not create a contest specifically for them. Slow code, in subbands where
can operate and an easy exchange. We could call it... Novice Roundup or
maybe something younger and hipper.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] My first SS...
Message-ID: <002901c284f8$2affacb0$11ed3518@CHRIS>

Reading the thread about the gentlemen who "put his key back in the box" has
caught me thinking back.

SS CW was my very FIRST contest back when I was barely a general class, and
about 11 or 12 years old.  I thought I would try my hand at this contest...
everyone said it was "the best."  Saturday came along, and I was ready.  I
had my program on the computer (one I had never used before), my paddle,
high spirits, and the radio.  I was good to go!  After a busy saturday, I
got on the air a few hours after the start.  I decided I would give out a
couple CQ's at my poky speed of about 13wpm.  This was going to be great!
Back then you couldn't even think about 15 or 10 meters in Alaska, so I hit
20.

After the first CQ, it was chaotic.  I felt like everyone in the whole US
was calling!  Not only were they calling, but they were calling FAST.
REALLY FAST!!  I caught a partial call.  I answered him.  Hey wait a
minute... all those guys can't be the one I called!  So I called him again.
GEEZ WHY IS EVERYONE CALLING ME!!!  I try it AGAIN several times.  SUCCESS!
I got his call, and send the report... that seems to take about 10 minutes.
Now he sends his report to me.  SLOW DOWN MAN I CAN'T TYPE THAT FAST!!! THIS
PROGRAM SUCKS!!!  AAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!  So I ask for a repeat... he
slows down.  OK I think I got it.  Time for another one.

The pileup has grown.

After about 10 minutes of yelling at the computer, getting frustrated at
operators not slowing down, and calling constantly over one another, I gave
up.  I quit.  Forget this contest thing!  If someone can't slow down for me,
I don't want to work them.  I'm just a kid in Alaska!!!

I try it again on Sunday.  I try calling guys, not CQing.  They slow down
for the most part.  They are probably happy to work Alaska.  I think I have
the program figured out, and my ears are "tuned" to the report.  I try CQing
again, and the pileup sounds even bigger!!  Great... here we go again.
After a few minutes of that nonsense, I quit while I'm ahead.  I was pretty
turned off from contests after that, at least from SS. :)

But obviously I didn't put the key away!  I just calmed down, and came back
later not so pissed off.  Hopefully the person who made the previous
comments will come back later, a little more level headed.

-Chris KL9A

p.s.  I think starting off "newbies" with Fone SS is a very bad idea... I
don't know why so many people do it with such a complicated contest report!

Not necessarily.  There would be a minimum speed I'd expect someone to be
able to do if he were to hang in there in a CW contest.  Perhaps 15 wpm?
I don't think a 5 wpm code proficiency is going to cut it in a major
contest like SS.

Would you want a driver who just can't drive over 90 mph without losing
control of his car to attempt the Indy 500?  (It has been done ...)

Message-ID: <01af01c28504$008cdc30$d6018b97@bk.trackdata.com>

I'm a CW newbie who can do casual QSO's at 15 WPM or so, but who would like to 
dabble in contesting as a participant and not as a
competitor (more about that later).   I have a strong personal ethos that 
mandates that my pleasure is not to come at the expense of
someone else.  I have been following the thread on Unsportsmanlike and its 
spin-offs.  In summary, my feelings are that:

    contest organizers should provide some kind of venue for newcomers
    newcomers should expect to do their homework and respect the rules of good 
taste
    contesters should extend consideration to newcomers, especially when the 
run slows down.

I have suggested to several organizers that they consider welcoming newcomers 
(who will be tomorrow's contesters) by providing hints
and even establishing informal conventions.  Things like a section on the web 
page "so you're new to contesting" containing the
items posted so nicely by Ward, N0AX; suggested frequency ranges; a suggestion 
on when and how to make a contact without annoying a
serious competitor.  As for conventions, I'd like to suggest that replying to a 
CQ with a ? before the call might be a signal that a
newcomer wants to try.  There is activity in the novice sub-bands in the major 
contests (heard with my own ears in both FD and this
past SS), but it's frustrating since most of OM's replying to a CQ SS end up 
giving their RST, name, QTH, WX or asking "what should
I send?".  And there is little or no participation in the state QSO parties.  
But organizers can designate a place where there will
be activity at a more relaxed pace.  The NYC Marathon was being run at the same 
time as CWSS and it is open to both competitive and
recreational runners.

For their part newcomers need to read the rules, try to copy exchanges, and 
respect the rules of good taste.  Starting with a state
QSO party is one way, waiting until the action cools down and you hear several 
unanswered CQ's, moving up the band.  Using a
computer is not a bad idea, but many want to start more informally.

Contesting is a competitive sport and serious competitors use the best tools 
they can get, and these days, that means a computer.
There is no getting around the fact that working newcomers requires either 
changing the speed setting on the computer or using an
auxiliary key (and many programs support that).  After you've worked all the 
other competitors, there are still lots of potential
Q's out there, and they all count in the log.  So why not consider a deliberate 
switch to QRS when the action slows down?  If the
run is hot, keep at it, but at the end of the contest when every CQ comes up 
empty and everyone else's CQ is a dup, slow down and
see what happens.  In addition to comptetitors (in the contest), there are 
other competitors: those looking for new states,
counties, zones, bands, and just on for a hour or two.  They may or may not 
know the exchange, and they may or may not be able to
operate at contest speed.  You will often hear fone OP's requesting "anybody, 
anywhere" to stir up contacts from casual listeners.

It took me less time than one QSO at 20WPM to realize Ward's 
"encouragement" letter for newbies last week deserved some cyberspace; 
I posted it on eHam pronto.  I hope it got a few guys on the air.

I think eHam is a great place for some introductory information like 
that letter and contesting.com a better spot for the more 
indepth coverage that Ward is suggesting below (with perhaps a 
corresponding, albeit simpler, eHam article that provides a link).

Audio stuff is great.  The Sprint .WAV files and other info at 
http://n6tr.jzap.com/sprint.html is a great example.  This kind of info 
could certainly reside on contesting.com.

Maybe this has been brought up before ????

Why not just get rid of multipliers for SS ???  CW SS is really an
exercise of who is best at SO2R anyway. The number of multipliers that
the top scores have is usually not a big factor. That way every contact
is equal and no unrulely pileups on anyone....

I know those who like to chase after the "clean sweep" mug might
complain but why not modify it so you can get a mug for making
something like 500 QSO's ??  This way everyone would benefit (more
activity?) besides those stations that are in "rare" sections.

Gee... I sure wouldn't complain about having a big pileup on me !!
(even if it's unrulely HI !) Isn't that every contesters dream ???

Ward, you have made some excellent suggestions here.  

I make it a practice to always sign my callsign at the end of each qso.  I 
find it also helps to keep a pile up under control, especially when operating 
from a dx location...FWIW.

It is in the spirit of Ham Radio, therefore it *should* be in the spirit of
the rules.  I personally have no problem with a rare one who is beloved (and
needed) by all, who never has a negative word to say to anyone (however
Hyde-like) who behaves in a gentlemanly manner and good-naturedly uses
completely amateur means to make sure it is "no secret" where to find him
sometimes, when conditions are favorable.

This is different from phone calls, mass mailings, internet posts, etc.

If anything, the concern would be that this could be interpreted as a
violation of the WRITTEN rules.  That's a different problem.

*I* think it is clearly in the spirit of our events, J., and would never
fault you one bit, rules or not.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CW/Contesting Dying?
Message-ID: <000701c28507$81539900$9b00a8c0@nt.charterne.com>

I always chuckle when I hear the gnashing of teeth and feel the anxiety of
those who
say that cw is obsolete, cw is dying, contesting is dying, etc.

I think it is GREAT that there IS all this worry, because that tells me that
as a
group, we are not complacent....., yet.  As long as we keep worrying about
these things, we will do something about them, and our hobby will continue
to exist and even grow.

YES, we are getting older as a group and yes there are technological changes
and challenges and there will continue to be in the years ahead, and yes, we
are losing more and more of our contesting fraternity, year by year, but
then, if all these things are happening:

1) Why are there more hams than ever?
2) Why are there bigger contest scores than ever?
3) Why are there no clear spots on the cw bands
in any major contest?
4) Why can I make SSB contest qso's at 29.0 mhz?
5) Why are so many people spending so much money
to improve/build their stations?
6) Why are we communicating as a group MUCH MORE
than ever before (technology)?

Seems to me that things are just fine (although many
improvements can be made and much can get better).

Here's what I think:

1) There ARE more ham operators and contest operators
out there and the internet has NOT affected radio activity
in a meaningful way - otherwise you would not have seen
the EXPLOSION in the activity level of European and
South American ops.and stations.

2) We ARE older and much more distracted with family, career,
aging parents, financial issues, health issues, etc. that are more
relevant to a population with an average age in the high 40's, vs
an average age in the late 20's!

3) We have more money to spend on our stations and operating
activities and ARE spending it, including dxpeditions, recreational radio
travel, etc.

4) We have more interests and more diverse interests than just radio.
Whereas a high school kid might have sports, dating, academics, radio,
music, etc, a 40 or 50 year old has ALL those interests PLUS
business, travel, political affiliations, fraternal organizations, volunteer
work,
caretaking, other hobbies, etc., etc, and a LOT less time to do it all in!

5) While our operating may be more limited in terms of time, it is probably
with greater SKILL:

higher code speeds, 2 radio vs 1 radio operations, building more complex
station equipment, speaking more languages, better station/antenna building,
etc.

6) Technology has removed much of the drudgery of operating and let us more
easily operate and spend more hours doing it with less fatigue, making the
hobby more
enjoyable!:

Contest software, DVP's, computer logging, computers!, pre-built switching
devices,
better quality radios, headsets, keyers, etc.

7)  We are paying more attention to our family, spouse, kids, than previous
generations
and with shrinking free time, are choosing to spend more time with them
rather
than operating on a regular basis (at least I am)  :-)

Sure there are less JA's and lower US participation in WPX contests and less
cw in the
novice bands.  I can live with that, there are so many other aspects of our
hobby that are better
than ever before.  Yes, cw as an art may be losing its appeal, but until cw
contest scores
go down dramatically from cycle to cycle, I have to believe that the
activity is there when
it counts, and I won't worry.

But as long as we as a group continue to worry, and not take it for granted,
then the future of
cw and our hobby is assured!

You are 100% correct.  This guy is golden!  And I have an idea....

A number of respondents (I count about 60 to date in my inbox), seem to
think the slowbies are not even welcome in SS.  OK.  Then let's start a new
class (the log checking machines will put up wanted posters on me for this
one but here goes).

"A", "B", "U", "M", "S",.....  "SWL"

SWL:
Copy as many callsigns and valid exchanges during the same 24 hour period.
Submit your log like any other contester.  QSO pts awarded for every valid Q
confirmed by log checking.

1) it would provide the basis for "competition" without "blocking the road."
2) it would be an excellent way to "learn" SS
3) code speed would be dramatically increased
4) The slowbies won't be getting in the way.

Just a thought.

Jay,
I don't see what the difference is between that and going back and looking
over the logs from past years to see what time, what band, what frequency
and what call a rare section might normally show up.  There's nothing to say
that the same condx will be in effect this year or that the op will act the
same this year as he did last year.

Let me make it a bit more difficult.  A rare section starts having QSOs on a
frequency abt a half hour before the contest starts.  His call and frequency
are posted.  A single op unassisted station sees this and goes to that
frequency and hears the station.  When the contest starts, he turns off his
packet and immediately works the station (and maybe others that were posted
prior to the start of the contest).  Is the guy still really a "unassisted"
stn?

But, thanks for the YT QSO at the start of the contest on some unknown
frequency, Jay.

73,
Dennis, K2SX

Message-ID: <86.22e67104.2af99f82@aol.com>

Good points, but not the main problem..CW is dying.  A majority of the guys 
get up to 5 wpm just to get on ssb and then seldom if ever use the code.  
Check the checks that you received...not many in the 90s or 00s.  There were 
a surprisingly large number in the 40s and 50s. This is not the case on ssb.

Cw will always be around, just like AM is.  It will eventually be in the same 
class as AM...nostalgic.  This is not a condemnation of cw, just an 
observation.

The ARRL and the FCC have sealed the fate of cw with the 5 code speed.  Back 
in the old days (the 60s and 70s), there was a place for novices (the novice 
bands) to work up to the 13 wpm which is sort of adequate for contesting.  
When someone got into the prime frequencies for contesting they had code 
experience and  might have even had some experience with contesting.  
Remember the novice roundup?  How many of us made our first contest qso there 
at 5 wpm or maybe even the speed demon rate of 10 wpm?

Nowadays, the guys have no place to build up speed.  KG4XYZ upgrades to 
general and all around him, even when contests are not going on, everyone is 
going at least 15 wpm.  Do you remember how your hand shook and how it was so 
hard to copy your first qsos at 5 wpm?  Now think what it is like make your 
first qso at 15 wpm, or worse yet, try to contest.  It's intimidating as 
hell.  Most of the guys, even if they are motivated, would be scared.

I don't have the answer.  I wish I did.  My main love is ssb contesting, but 
I would like to see new blood in the cw tests too.   Maybe we need a 'radar' 
cw contest...one in which speeds were limited to 15 wpm or less

I have operated /7 from WY the past two Sweeps.  I do this because I want
to get an extra station on from a rare section.  Well, OK it used to be
rare and difficult to work.  Since I am doing this portable and I am an
avid QRPer I do this in the Q class which adds one more level of difficulty.
And having portable antennas is just one more stake through the heart.  :-)

This year

K7QO  Q   552Qs  77sections (NL, QC and NWT missed)  85,008 points


1.  I took the /7 out of the call this year as Tree's program removed it 
last year.

2.  I put up antennas in 15 degree F to 0 degrees wx on 
Friday.  Brrrrr.  No wonder
      WY is rare.  :-)  And a foot of snow to boot.  Lander, WY in Fremont 
County.
      I took down the antennas at sunrise on Monday in -15F cold.

3.  Thanks to KL7XX (AK) who called me on Sunday afternoon.
      Thanks to K1PQS (ME) who called me on Sunday afternoon.
      Thanks to VE1ZJ (MAR) who called me on Sunday afternoon.

4.  On code speeds and newbies.

      a.  I was averaging 28wpm.  On Sunday I slowed down to 16wpm to get
           one Q when I was in the S&P mode.  We all had to start some where.
           It is easy to forget that.  (Look up my RUFZ score on the web.)

      b.  I make an MP3 CD for practicing.  It has 1600 valid Qs and runs from
          20wpm to 35wpm.  Takes about 10+ hours to run through.  I sell this
          puppy for $20, but I will give it to any newbie if you send me 
his/her
          call.   They just need a computer or walkman MP3 player that can
          handle ISO9660 f/s.

       c.  I'd call SS one of the toughest CW contests.  It has a long exchange
            and don't even think about changing it.  It is the best test of CW
            skills in any contest I know.  It is a sequence of random code
            groups, but you know where the numbers are gonna be, the mixed
            letter/number groups, ....  Get the newbie to practice with RUFZ
            and get to at least 20wpm regularly on copying random calls.

5.  I never had a contest mentor, but wish I did have one.  There is some 
thing that
      I am doing wrong as 95,000 is my highest score in Q class.  One thing
      that I noticed in CQ mode on Sunday when I could grab a frequency.
      I'd go 2 mins without an answer then get 3 calls.  I'd pick one and 
when I
      was through I'd wait for the other 2 but they were gone.  Why?  When I'm
      out gunned on the bands that I did not have a good antenna  (in 
S&P)  I'd wait in
      line up to their 3 Qs and then move.  Is this the wrong 
approach?  Maybe I am
      TOO patient?  I never got the pileups like VY1JA when I called CQ.  :-)
      Weak stations don't mean they are far away......

5.  Funny story.  You'd be surprised by the amount of time during the contest
      I lose due to two situations.  a.  The guy would take an extra few 
seconds
      thanking me for WY.  b.  Guys asking for a confirmation on WY.  :-)  Like
      WY isn't on the section list on the computer screen?  Like I made it up?
      And this from stations with over 850 Qs.

6.   Second funny story.  On 10m Sunday afternoon.  Try busting the pileups
       on VY1JA and VO1MP running only 400mW!!!  Can't be done.  Long story.



This year was fun for me.  Last year was a bad location and high noise levels.
Next year a contest station may be available for me to operate in WY......

dit dit

P.S.  Will contest for food...... :-)

We have to remember now the speed is only 5 wpm to get a
license.  Can you imagine trying to operate CWSS at 5 wpm?  At
least before, it was 13 wpm and it was a little more reasonable
to expect that someone could copy 15 or so.

I'll contribute all the MP3 files that you'd ever need to practice on.  All 
that is needed is a lot of
disc space.  The problem with SS is that you need the call to start off the 
exchange.  We all
use this to focus on the frequency and the speed for the exchange and to 
block QRM.

Another idea, but not cheap.  At Dayton there was a company that was using 
a receiver and
a video recorder to record 80 KHz of a contest.  Elecraft at their booth at 
Pacificon had a K2
with the same setup using an MP3 recorder to demo 40KHz bandwidth of a 
contest.  How
about recording contests like SS over a wide range and then having people 
use it to get
a feel for the contest.  I know that I could learn from such a setup and 
you could study
individuals (both the good, the bad, and the ugly) and their techniques and 
adapt to a
better way of operating.  This could easily be done by clubs with funding 
to bring in new
guys and girls to keep the membership up.

And you remember the DrDX program simulation?  I may have the name wrong as 
it was
decades ago for that software and the Commodore computer.  There are a few 
computer
simulation programs like PED and RUFZ, but there is probably a need for 
more contest
specific software to be written.

I agree Bill, and you hit the spot when you say that there are few
opportunities out there to begin using cw.  I can still remember my first
novice qso and I have the qsl to prove it.  On the qsl,  the station I was
working states something such as "If I could get my hands on you right now,
I would chop your head off!"  Now that's even a little worse than "go away".
But no problem,  I knew that I was a real novice and hadn't practiced the
code since I took the test (probably about 2 months earlier when it took a
while for the FCC to get around to assigning calls).  So he was right,  I
was a terrible cw operator,  but I enjoyed talking to people and I found
things like Worked All States and novice roundup and before I went for my
conditional (I lived in the boonies) I could copy well over 20 wpm.  I
missed North Dakota for my WAS and I can't remember where I ended up in
novice roundup,  but my call was there somewhere.  So I had the opportunity
to grow with others that had the same growing pains as I.  I'm not sure if I
was placed into todays enviroment as a beginner that I would ever learn CW
very well because I learned by doing rather than 'practicing'.   I did
enough of that on my trumpet!

So let's face the facts,  there will always be some that have the discipline
to go that extra mile to learn the code even though it wasn't necessary,
but they are going to be few and far between.  Enjoy the light of CW while
we can because as Bill stated,  someday it will be like AM at the top of 10
meters.

Good points, but not the main problem..CW is dying.  A majority of the guys
get up to 5 wpm just to get on ssb and then seldom if ever use the code.
Check the checks that you received...not many in the 90s or 00s.  There were
a surprisingly large number in the 40s and 50s. This is not the case on ssb.

Cw will always be around, just like AM is.  It will eventually be in the
same
class as AM...nostalgic.  This is not a condemnation of cw, just an
observation.

The ARRL and the FCC have sealed the fate of cw with the 5 code speed.  Back
in the old days (the 60s and 70s), there was a place for novices (the novice
bands) to work up to the 13 wpm which is sort of adequate for contesting.
When someone got into the prime frequencies for contesting they had code
experience and  might have even had some experience with contesting.
Remember the novice roundup?  How many of us made our first contest qso
there
at 5 wpm or maybe even the speed demon rate of 10 wpm?

Nowadays, the guys have no place to build up speed.  KG4XYZ upgrades to
general and all around him, even when contests are not going on, everyone is
going at least 15 wpm.  Do you remember how your hand shook and how it was
so
hard to copy your first qsos at 5 wpm?  Now think what it is like make your
first qso at 15 wpm, or worse yet, try to contest.  It's intimidating as
hell.  Most of the guys, even if they are motivated, would be scared.

I don't have the answer.  I wish I did.  My main love is ssb contesting, but
I would like to see new blood in the cw tests too.   Maybe we need a 'radar'
cw contest...one in which speeds were limited to 15 wpm or less

I got a different message than that from most of the 'public' discussion
(maybe your private email had a different tone) I saw.  (I'll also concede
that each persons understanding of the same message may be filtered by their
own mindset on a topic.)

In any case, my take on a 'concensus' is that 'slowbies' are indeed welcome,
but they're likely to need to 'precopy/postcopy' a lot, and perhaps this
effort will be the training that moves them up out of the 'slowbie' ranks. 
(Presuming they have that goal.)

I've listened attentively to a few CW contests, and even recorded  short
sessions on my laptop... but it sounds like what is sent is garbage..and I
reckon I have mostly 100% copy... Maybe I simply have no idea of the
abbreviations/codes used.  Passing any CW exam is easy.. but contest stuff
??

Is there any place where a real actual exchange is written down clearly so
I can simply duplicate it ?     Maybe I need to track down who has done
this CW thing before...

My personal rule is if I do not receive confirmation of any Contest QSO,
even if I've sent my exchange - its out of my log....  I wiped out 56 QSO's
out of my CQWW SSB log...

Can we keep the unnecessary and inaccurate ARRL bashing out of this?
Especially since the League was AGAINST the across-the-board reduction in
code speed?  Give it a rest already... I'm as disappointed as the next guy
that the FCC chose to do what they did, but they did it, and we have to live
with it -- continued kvetching is pointless.

And maybe I'm wrong, but didn't the FISTS revive the Novice Roundup after
the League dropped it due to lack of activity?

Hmm,
I even have a name for post-mult SS. Ragchewing.

Is SS an SO2R contest? I don't think so. Sure, people do SO2R. It's a great
contest to practise SO2R, particularly on Sunday. But when you have a
relatively small, fixed number of multipliers, the benefits of SO2R are not
as great as in, say, WW or WPX, which for everybody have unattainable
maximum amounts of multipliers. You can, in contests like that, pick up
mults you wouldn't otherwise have with SO2R. It's hard to say the same for
SS.

In SS, any Q that you pick up on Saturday on the second radio is one more
non-Q adding to the Sunday doldrums. It is also a contest, as K0HB says,
where "mults happen." There's really only a handful you need to work for.

I think the fact that there are an attainable number of multipliers adds to
the charm of SS. That one station faces what some consider unmanageable
pileups does not, in my view, warrant a significant change in the fun factor
for the rest of us. I mean no disrespect to anyone when I say that, but
there is another station in a section almost as rare as YT who does seem to
manage huge pileups on both modes quite well.

The Sweep is also a goal that stations can set if they know they aren't
going to be Top 10.

SS is fine the way it is. I think our efforts would be better spent on
helping those with unruly pileups learn more effective techniques for pileup
control.

Pileups in DX contests can be as big or bigger than any faced by any one
station in SS. After all, in WW, everybody is working everybody. I wonder
what it's like to be a rare South Pacific station when paths are open to
Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas at once. Do we propose to eliminate
mults in those contests as well, so nobody has to face a big pileup?

I also think the concerns expressed about pileups were less about the size
of the pileup and more about the attitude displayed by some people in the
pileup.

While it doesn't teach you strategy, the simulator in TrLog is fantastic for
getting one up to speed with the SS exchange.  Any speed.

Hi Chuck et al

TRLog has a great simulator in it.  I spend lots of time playing
with that one.  I like to crank it up to about 45 wpm and just
see how many I can work at that speed.  It's fun to see the rate
meter climb up to 250 or 300 :-)  I'd recommend that to anyone
who is trying to learn how to do a CW contest.  73

There aren't more hams than ever in the USA...

The totals have been stagnant for two years (max was in March 2001), and in the 
three years before that the overall increase was only 1%.   
http://WWW.AH0A.ORG/FCC/Licenses.html

Worldwide, ham radio growth is minimal also.   The most recent published IARU 
figures are from 2000 and show an increase of only 1000 hams out of 2.99 
million... and only about 1% growth from 1995 to 2000.

I agree about the need for speed.

However, there is a place for even the most 'novice' contest entrant.  But,
the novice has to be made aware that he/she is getting into a real
horserace.

When I started sailboat racing, there was no 'beginner's' fleet.  I was
thrust into the full-up start with the rest of those who had varying degrees
of greater expertise than I.  And, yes, it was frightening.  But, I
eventually overcame it and won some cups, platters, candy dishes, etc.
(which my ex-mother-in-law subsequently sold at a garage sale when her
daughter and I divorced.).

Geez, guys, people have to start somewhere.

One guy throws in the towel (or puts his key back in the box) and suddenly
we are all at fault.

A

Grip


There are certain realities that must be accepted: SS is not for the meek.

If someone wants to contest or you want someone to contest, let him/her get
their feet wet in NAQP or a state QSO Party or two.

I don't know if it worked or not, but I sent Ward's note (twice, it turned
out: I needed to modify the operating times to CST) to all the ARRL
affiliated clubs in Texas on Friday.

I went to the ARRL webpage (http://www.arrl.org) and clicked on clubs.  I
selected TX as the search field ofr ARRL-affiliated clubs.  I selected and
copied all the clubs and pasted them into Notepad.  I then opened Excel and
imported the .txt file containing the clubs listing.

I then wrote a VBA macro to delete all lines not containing an e-mail
address, remove the "E-mail: " in that field and  concantenate the addresses
into one field (line).

I then copied 25 e-mail addresses at a time from that line and pasted them
into an e-mail BCC field.  I copied and pasted Ward's text into the e-mail
message and sent it.

I have no idea how effective that exercise was.  I didn't get any feedback
from anyone about whether the addressees (indicated as points-of-contact for
the clubs) even redistributed the note to their members, so, who knows who
saw it.

Friends,

Thank you for your support concerning the ARRL Sweepstakes CW Contest.  I
will be on during the SS Phone contest with my Omni-V.  It is working
perfectly thanks to the efforts of the efforts of  Ten-Tec Service.  I was
walked through servicing it myself via e-mail.  I have owned other rigs and
never had this kind of service before.

When Scott, W4PA, Ten-Tec's Sales Manager, heard of my problems during
CW-SS, he extended the offer of a loan of a Jupiter, to make sure that I was
on the air for phone SS.  He then asked Ten-Tec's Service Manager, Paul,
WD4EBR to assist me with repairs, which Paul did.  Scott's offer of the
loaner was to be a backup in case the repair work failed, but with Paul's
help we were able to get the Omni-V fixed before the shipping deadline for
the Jupiter.

The loader work is done, my health has returned, and I am free now that the
rig is working, to get that beam up and the rotator under it.  Wish me good
weather.

If I consider the volume of received e-mail as a voting medium of the
"contester's rules committee", the following is in perfect order:

Watch for me at my MUF before the contest finding a clear frequency on or
near ?27, ?37 or ?17.

:o)

Let's have fun in a little over a week, and expect a number of VY1's as well
as VY0AAA with a small apartment operation.  Bob, VY1MB, and I are each
planning serious efforts, so VY1 should be VERY easy to find... now what
about WY, MT, and NL?

I been holding back...and it ain't been easy!

Ya' know in the past day or two this thread about how some unknown guy 
SUPPOSEDLY unpacked his key and tried to work SS but got disgusted so he 
put it back in to the box and into the closet...well its hooey in my 
opinion.

This is no different than the same crud I hear all day long on the cable 
news programs - about how Americans should feel sorry for causing other 
countries to act in a viscous and inhuman manor towards us in the Mean 
Olde USA and golly gosh it must be our fault as Americans that they do 
these terrible things...

GET REAL

This guy is not a CW op, he can barely copy CW and you believe that 
someone told him to "go awy" - I wonder if he could copy that much CW. 
 He will show us though he is not going to operate CW so there...someone 
tell to take his ball and go home.

a) I do not believe this person exists but is a figment of someone's 
imagination designed to voice a point of view without them having to say 
that they cannot handle SS CW because it is too fast.

b) I made over 1300 contacts this weekend and NOT ONCE was I asked to 
QRS.  There was one station high in the band who I called over and over 
again on Sunday lowering my speed 4 WPM at a time his response was 
clearly embarassment as I know I am loud into his area - he paniced.


Does this mean we need to change CW contests?  HELL NO!  This is one of 
the few times we get to exercise our gray cells!  If a CW contest is too 
hard for you - and you have tried going high up in the band so you are 
the highest frequency participant and you call CQ, and you have asked 
others to QRS (that means slow down) and still have no luck my guess is 
you are not transmitting on the same frequency as you are listening.

Does this mean you, the nebie, give up on contesting, no - you get 
comfortable with the code first - how do you do that USE IT FOR CHRIST 
SAKE!  Don't take the key out of the closet on contest weekends and 
expect that since it sitting on the operating table you are given 
copying ability!

I refuse to believe a contester would not slow down for a slower guy - 
scores depend on making QSOs, if you throw away that QSO you are a jerk.

I feel bad for all you guys who got sucked into this crap - then again, 
most of this audience is the easily impressioned American one which gets 
all its knowledge from the boob tube...therefore it must be true!

New CW ops - work on your CW....

Contesters - don't buy into this Politically Correct crap....

REMEMBER ANYTHING WORTH DOING, IS WORTH DOING WELL...and that does not 
mean it is necessarliy easy to do - when you do learn it however you 
will feela sense of pride having mastered something that you had to work 
for.

Contesting is not for cry babies, or guys who blame others for all their 
short comings!

I'll have to admit that I let myself get in a bad frame
of mind durring CW SS and spent a lot of time 
doing other things. I'm not a 5 wpm extra. I passed
my 20 wpm test back in 86. But, I didn't use cw
much after that. I even had about a 5 year period
where I didn't even own a rig or operate. Who is
to blame for that? Must be that guy I see in the
mirror every day.

I am no cw whiz period, but I also am too stuborn
to lay down and give up. My Plan A was to go
high in the band and call CQ at 20 wpm. I thought
that most would answer at that speed. Some did,
and some didn't. Well, here's another mistake I
made. I should have sent QRS instead of hitting
F9 on TRLog to send the "?".  Looking back, 
another mistake I made. 

Contests like the ARRL 160 are a lot easier for me,
since the exchange is really short. SS requires
one to be more "on the ball" then any other
contest due to the longer exchange. I did use the
TR simulator some, and felt I was doing halfway
decent, not great, but not terrible, running it at
around 24-26 wpm. Well, all well and good, but
perfect code, with no background noise, no qrm
no qrn is quite a bit different then when you go
to the rig. 

The "wait and get the info, then call" idea is fine.
I should have done more of that. The only problem
with that is, if the station you want to work is 
cq'ing and not getting any response, then you
have a problem because you can spend a lot
of time there waiting. When I ran into this
situation, with guys going probably 30 wpm+
I would send my call at around 20 and I assumed
they would send the exchange close to my 
speed. And yes, I did have the call of the
station before calling.  Well, my mistake
here was assuming that station would come
down to my level. Well, looking back on that
technique, that means I was assuming that
operator could read my mind. Well, that is
not always going to work. Some did, and I
appreciate that. But, I don't feel the stations
that came back at high speeds were in the
wrong. Again, I could have used QRS and
more then likely, they would have sent the
exchange slower. Again, my mistake.

Well, I could whine and blame the other guy
and never try another CW SS again. But, I
have another plan. Buy a set of paddles
(I've relied on the pc for all my sending)
and get on the air a lot more often. 
Yes, I'm sure I'll make a lot of mistakes
before I get the hang of using them. And 
I'll no doubt be going slow, at least until 
I learn to use them. Sure, I'll use the pc
durring most of the contest, but there
are times when it would be easier to
just use the paddles instead of taking
the time to put the program in keyboard
mode. 

Does this mean next year I'll do better? 
Well, I hope so, but, even if it doesn't, I'm
sure I'll feel better about it, since I'm not
going to do what I did this year, and that
is get frustrated and quit. I was mad at
myself, and beat myself menatally. I'm
going to work at becoming a better cw
op because it's just not in my nature to
give up. If I said "well, cw at contesting
speeds, just isn't my thing", then that
would mean I would be giving up and 
only operating half the contests. Naw,
that isn't going to happen. Time go get
in gear and do my best to improve. I 
hope otthers that struggled this weekend
feel the same way.

Right-o. You ever see a MLB pitcher slow up his fast ball for a rookie
batter? Nope. If he did, the rookie would never learn to hit in the
big-league.

My software allows me to enter the call as part of the exchange (which it
is) so I don't appear to need the call to start off the exchange.  Am I
missing something?

I just got the latest Rate Sheet from ARRL, and my heart jumped when I saw
the following announcement:

"Worked All Europe DX Contest - CW - sponsored by the Deutscher ARC,
0000Z Nov 9 -  2400Z Nov 10."

HOT STUFF!  I thought the only WAE contest was in August, when propagation
was at its worst for the year.  But a new fall version...fantastic!  Then I
became concerned when I saw there would also be the OK/OM DX Contest this
weekend, overlapping WAE CW by 24 hours.  That has the potential for major
confusion, far worse than RAC/SP on 160 in the winter.  But after writing
down all the relevant data from the Rate Sheet, I thought I'd do a quick
check on the DARC page and see if this was indeed the first running of a
fall WAE.

Bad news...the Pyallup Tribe of Indians are NOT going to be a new DXCC
country...and the WAE contest this weekend is RTTY, not CW.  Too bad.  So to
anybody else out there who thought there was going to be a red hot WAE on
this weekend...forget it.  The Rate Sheet is flat wrong.

SS most definitely is a SO2R contest, but for a different reason than WPX.  

Yes, mults are not as important in this contest, but even a big gun station 
in FL is going to have a tough time finding a VI or PR station since we are 
looking away from them the whole contest.  I can't afford to bust up an 80 to 
100 hour S/Ping for one unless I have the machine going on a run frequency.  

The main reason it is an SO2R contest is that you start to run out of guys 
the second day.  In the last SSB SS my second radio was good for around 
100-150 qsos.  Maybe I would have worked them anyway.  Who knows.  I 
certainly am not talented enough on Saturday when I am running 120 per hour 
to use a second radio, but it sure makes a big difference on Sunday.

Sounds like you're off to a pretty good understanding of how SS CW
works.  It strikes me as incredible that any serious SS CW competitor
wouldn't do anything possible (within the rules) to squeeze out
every makeable contact - and slowing the code speed down is the
easiest and most obvious one out there.   Look at the logjam at
the top 20 HP claimed scores this weekend.  A small number of
contacts really made a difference this time - and does many times
in SS CW.  

After the first 6 hours of SS, I didn't call CQ once above 30 WPM.
I made many, many CQ calls at 22 to 24 WPM.  I made a number of
contacts
in the 13 to 17 WPM range either answering their CQ sent at that speed
or in response to a 'slow-coder' calling me.  I often dialed the
code speed down to below the speed I was called at to make sure the
other guy got it right the first time.  After all, getting it once
at 17 WPM is the same as me sending it twice at 34!

W2SR, get on and call CQ at 15 WPM at 21.097 or wherever.  I'll be
HAPPY to QSO you at that speed in SS and will stick with it until
you get my exchange.  Vice versa, if you can figure out my callsign
from a higher speed CQ and dump your call over to me at 15 WPM I'll
dial it down fast to make sure I work you.  Even if it's near the 
start of the contest.

Jim, and others,

Nice to see someone express this side.  Contesting is
a sport, and you have to have the necessary skills to
compete, and one of those skills is CW (for a cw
contest).  CW skills are learned by practice, and it
is possible to learn to copy 30 wpm or more
(regardless of what the ARRL and FCC believe).  At one
time 20 WPM CW proficiency was required to operate in
certain parts of the CW band.  Now that you can get an
extra class license with 5 wpm skill, don't expect
everyone on the CW bands to be running at 5 wpm.  

Jim, you are exactly right about needing to USE cw to
get your code speed up.  When I was a novice (before
the ARRL killed that license in favor of the shack on
a belt) I wanted to upgrade to general.  I tried code
tapes, and failed the CW exam.  How did I finally pass
the 13 WPM (no I didn't wait until 2000 and get
grandfathered in), I got on the air and made CW QSOs! 
After doing that for around a year, I received a 25
WPM code certificate at the 1982 ARRL convention, and
that was before I even upgraded.  

Yes it would be nice if we all slowed down for
everyone who calls us, and I try to do that, but you
need to have perspective on your skills and maybe work
on them.  I don't have the loudest signal on the band
by any stretch of the imagination.  In any contest
there will be stations that can't hear me.  Do I take
my rig and go home, and write messages to the
reflector whining about how unfair it is?  Well I
could, or I could figure out how to improve things at
the station to be better heard, and try to learn more
about propogation to improve my chance with certain
areas, or I could be content that I am not going to
work everyone and get over it.

BTW, why is it the big bad US that everyone runs to
when they cannot defend themselves against aggressors?
 We're the bad guys until it comes to liberating
Kuwait, SOuth Korea, or stopping Nazis.

Or maybe to put it another way, the way to make SS Sundays relatively 
productive and enjoyable is to have one radio running at all times and then 
S&P like crazy, because there are people who only come on to call CQ, and 
others who only come on to S&P.  I didn't follow my own advice on Sunday 
afternoon, and the score shows it.

Then there are all the cases of serendipitous missing each other that go 
on.  For example K7BG was my 1080; I was his 1175.  I had been really 
sweating MT until just shortly before because we'd obviously been on 
different bands or CQing at the same times or somethin'.

After reading yesterday's "Rate Sheet", CW enthusiasts may have had a momentary 
vision of Utopia with the Rate Sheet reporting a second CW version of both 
Sweepstakes and WAE.  Sorry for the false euphoria, folks.  Phone enthusiasts 
will now suspect me of being a closet CW elitist bent on world mode domination. 
 Well, maybe :-)

I would love to blame my egregious error on some obscure Microsoft bug, but it 
was due purely to editorial inattention during cut-and-paste operations - 
better known as "My Fault!"

Bulletin...

1) Nov 9-10 is the RTTY weekend for WAE - not CW.
2) It's PHONE Sweepstakes on the 16th and 17th - not CW.

Apologies to all!

I'm still a kind of new to this contest. I've been participating in this
contest for only 4 recent years and I LOVE IT. If you are taking part in the
contest only to use your (pardon me) finger, pressing F1 all the way then
this contest is definitely not for you. IMHO this is the contest where you
have to use your skills and brain - you have to determine where and when to
run, you have to use your S&P skills when it slows down. I even love
Sunday's slowdown. It gives you a kind of chance to catch all those
F1-guys...if you are good enough in S&Ping... You don't even need KW's and
huge stacks for this contest...And the format is great as well as the rules.
If it really slows down I know I can go up the frequency, reduce my speed
and work slow guys...There are always new guys up there...
So please, don't make any changes to this wonderful contest... Just try to
participate. Sometimes I see there are much more talks than on-the-air
activity...

With best regards,

Bruce --

I too got all excited about the WAE CW and also about being able to run CW
SS again during the November 16 weekend.  Both were untrue -- darn! Sent
Ward an e-mail.

I just got the latest Rate Sheet from ARRL, and my heart jumped when I saw
the following announcement:

"Worked All Europe DX Contest - CW - sponsored by the Deutscher ARC,
0000Z Nov 9 -  2400Z Nov 10."

HOT STUFF!  I thought the only WAE contest was in August, when propagation
was at its worst for the year.  But a new fall version...fantastic!  Then I
became concerned when I saw there would also be the OK/OM DX Contest this
weekend, overlapping WAE CW by 24 hours.  That has the potential for major
confusion, far worse than RAC/SP on 160 in the winter.  But after writing
down all the relevant data from the Rate Sheet, I thought I'd do a quick
check on the DARC page and see if this was indeed the first running of a
fall WAE.

Bad news...the Pyallup Tribe of Indians are NOT going to be a new DXCC
country...and the WAE contest this weekend is RTTY, not CW.  Too bad.  So to
anybody else out there who thought there was going to be a red hot WAE on
this weekend...forget it.  The Rate Sheet is flat wrong.

Bruce, ZF2NT

Message-ID: <3DC964E4.3040707@tampabay.rr.com>

man o man o man do I disagree with the following:

VE4XT wrote:

Is SS an SO2R contest? I don't think so. Sure, people do SO2R. It's a great
contest to practise SO2R, particularly on Sunday. But when you have a
relatively small, fixed number of multipliers, the benefits of SO2R are not
as great as in, say, WW or WPX, which for everybody have unattainable
maximum amounts of multipliers. 


SS is ALL about maximizing QSO count.... (my multiplier thread was last 
week) ... During the last half of SS I would feel confident to say that 
close to half my QSOs were on the second radio!  You just plain start 
running out of guys when you are running - but you cannot afford to miss 
one who shows up during halftime of the football game - so you gotta CQ 
- but all that time you better be tuning for new ones on the other 
bands...  

While he has not posted his score yet, I am hazarding a guess that WP3R 
will be first or second in SS....  I had not called him - but had lined 
my rig up on the second radio to call him as his QRS CQ's were going 
unanswered - funny thing is HE CALLED ME before I could mash F4 on the 
second computer!  I do not know fer sure but I bet all but mebbe one of 
the top ten finishers in SS CW will have been using SO2R - which allows 
you to "push" the emvelope of QSO count as hard as you can. If you are 
noth running and S&Ping at the same time - well - you are maximizing 
your brains potential to make QSOs appear in your log!

SO2R also works much better (for me anyway) in SS due to the long 
exchange - you get more wiggle room as far as timing calling the other 
station and call literally adjuct you CQing to time out at the same 
moent as the other guy does his....and when you call him on radio two 
and he comes back - you return to CQing on radio one while he is sending 
you his exchange...etc....  it is a little bit like juggling flaming 
torches but it sure keeps you aware of what you might have missed, too!

SO2R is mandatory in SS - I would encourage guys who may not have the 
potential for two full stations to consider it for next year even if it 
means the second rig is barefoot and you are in B class... even if it is 
only a trap vertical on that second rig - until you take that time you 
spend CQing and use it for something practical you do not realise how 
much of a waste of time listening to your computer send your CQ 
flawlessly several thousand times during the weekend is!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Call Me Mr. Guilty

After reading yesterday's "Rate Sheet", CW enthusiasts may have had a
momentary vision of Utopia with the Rate Sheet reporting a second CW
version of both Sweepstakes and WAE.  Sorry for the false euphoria,
folks.  Phone enthusiasts will now suspect me of being a closet CW
elitist bent on world mode domination.  Well, maybe :-)

I would love to blame my egregious error on some obscure Microsoft bug,
but it was due purely to editorial inattention during cut-and-paste
operations - better known as "My Fault!"

Bulletin...

1) Nov 9-10 is the RTTY weekend for WAE - not CW.
2) It's PHONE Sweepstakes on the 16th and 17th - not CW.

Apologies to all!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Contesting - Open or Closed?
Message-ID: <00ef01c285ca$fa836bc0$27d7fea9@mirage>

To run with the Big Dogs - you can't be a puppy, pull yourself up by your 
bootstraps, and all that.  Admirable, true, and good personal advice for 
improving your contesting success.

But...

I must point out that contesting is quite unique a sport in that the success of 
the competitors depends entirely on the ability to connect with as many other 
participants as possible.  And not only other participants, but 
non-participants.  Certainly an auto race can not open the gates to every 
possible participant in every event - but radio contesting depends on doing 
just that. No one has to pre-register or qualify to play - just show up and be 
welcomed, right?

The success of the sport depends on its open-ness and easy access.  We should 
not over-react to a poor experience by one or two, nor should the behavior of a 
couple knotheads reflect poorly on us all.  Yet, having a healthy sport means 
more than publishing the rules and an email address for logs and saying, "Take 
it or leave it".  There have been several good ideas put forth as to how to 
educate and attract contesters.  I hope some of them are widely implemented.

To a large degree, however, the methods by which we conduct ourselves on the 
air is the primary window by which others view and form opinions of the sport.  
Outreach is THE challenge to the contest community over the coming solar 
doldrums - not amplifiers, cheating, packet spotting, or log formats.  Outreach 
is required to the casual and non-contesters - even anti-contesters - to keep 
the sport healthy.  We have a great opportunity at present with super 
conditions and participation in many contests at record levels.

Let's not blow it in our urge to be competitive with one another.

73, Ward N0AX

I hope this is not too far afield for the group. A friend has a ts940s 
with a CW problem. While receiving CW (with or without 500hz filters) 
there is a 'tone' on all the time. He says it sounds like a BFO type 
tone bleeding through. The tone is present on all bands and is very 
audible when listening on just a dummy load. The tone does not appear to 
'beat'against signals. If anyone on the list has had any experience with 
this problem please e-mail me. We have checked the Kenwood service 
bulletins and find nothing resembling this problem.

Chuck:

Thanks for the QSO.  I was guest op at W4AN.

Not everyone who uses a bug has trouble sending numbers correctly.  You
can't know who is using computer generated CW or just using an
electronic keyer. The computer generated numbers are at least as
unreliable as the ones sent by an electronic keyer.  In some programs,
if you ENTER the QSO before giving a fill, the fill sends the NEXT QSO
number, not the one that you intended to send.  If you are not
listening, you will not catch and correct the error.  The guy with the
electronic keyer (or bug) will NOT make that mistake.  I am pretty sure
that I had two guys give me the wrong number because of that very
problem...I asked for a confirmation or correction and they sent me the
number after the one they had originally sent, but both insisted that
the second number was correct....so what can you do but log the later
number?

You worry too much.  Those guys will probably not send logs in and no
one will lose the QSOs.  Or they will send in a paper log that won't be
used for cross checking.  Even then, if you lose the QSO, you lose the
QSO.  There is no penalty as there is for a NOT IN LOG claimed QSO.  So,
you lose nothing by making and logging the QSO.

I have been told that, in at least one contest, the logging software
does not kick out QSO numbers that are off by only one number, apprently
because of the computer problem I mentioned previously.  (This was not
ARRL SS.)

We do this for fun.  Let's keep it that way.

Jim's humor is very entertaining, but on Sundat afternoon in SS after
a 2 hour break, I just could not copy the code..I doubt I could have
gotten my own call at 5 wpm. Took another break, and things were
better,,

I'm just wondering if this is common?

John, K4BAI, makes a very good point and one that I had not thought of, e.g.
the computer sends one higher number than it should be.  There is also the
other side of that problem.  In most programs if there is no info in the
"Call" column, it sends the previous QSO number or one less than it should
be.  This can happen if you miss the call and are waiting for it to be sent
again or even if you have just fallen behind becuz you can't type at 200
QSOs per hour.  If you are receiving this info and have not been listening
to the station sending for a while, you would never know that the number
sent was in error.  And, in many cases, the sending operator is totally
unaware that the computer just sent a wrong number because he's busy trying
to type in the missing call.  I think the checking computer is totally right
to allow a QSO number plus or minus one without penality.

When I received my copy of the Rate Sheet & saw that this weekend's JIDX SSB
contest was split into high & low band weekends - on the same weekend as
WAE CW - it sounded too good to be true... a proper reason not to do JIDX SSB,
not to attend SEANET conventions (which seem to always fall on this weekend)

Dan,

I'm not a Kenwood expert (although I do own a TS-850 for contest-expeditions).

Doesn't the TS-940 have a button (I think it's called TF-Set) that 
generates a tone on CW to spot against?  OTOH I may be remembering a mod 
from K1GQ for the TS-930 to make the TF-Set button to do such a function.

My FT-1000Ds have such a button and it is very useful.

I don't understand the phenomena completely, but we finally gave up on NV7A. 
Statistically, when S&P'ing on CW, about one in four stations either missed 
the call the first time, copied it as N4ZA or asked for a repeat on the 
State.

So, here goes another grand experiment. As of today, NACHO (Nevada Ass'n of 
Contest Highland Operators) is now W7TTT. We'll see how often it becomes W7O 
in CQ CW. In SS Phone, it will be W7 Tic Tac Toe.

Damn OJ, you shoulda held back.  Excuse me while I piss flaming napalm all
over your strawman.

N0FP is a friend of mine, an enthusiastic new contester, an accomplished CW
operator, a contributing member of Minnesota Wireless Association, and
something of an "evangalist" for everything related to ham radio.

To put the lie to your accusation the he "cannot handle SS CW because it is
too fast", Ford put together a 100K+ SOLP SS CW effort last weekend. 
(Something like 700 Q's and a Sweep, if memory serves.) That may not be "top
10", but it ain't too shabby for a first effort at SSCW.  

I mentioned earlier that Ford is something of an evangalist. (That's a "Good
Thing (tm)" by the way.)  So, while I don't agree with all of Ford's
conclusions on this matter, I am 100% certain that Ford did in fact coerce
some unsuspecting newbie into trying SSCW.  And I further believe that the
results of that disaster are something similar to what Ford describes.  

Now we can have all sorts of highminded discussion about Fords' reaction to
his friends experience, but accusing Ford of making it all up to voice a point
of view is simply a cheap shot, and unworthy of a topnotch guy like you.  You
owe Ford an apology.

John,

I don't necessarily agree with the thrust of the message from Ford, but he
damn sure wasn't whining about "unfair".  He was trying to make a point as he
saw it.  No we may see it differently, but sarcasm and accusing him of making
up stories to voice his view as waaaaaaaaaaaaay out of line.

Maybe some of you missed it, but N6TR operated from the mostly broken
(thank Lilly) W5WMU station this past weekend as QRP.  Results:

Total: 1105  Sections = 79  Total Score = 174,432

He bested superman N5TJ's record from 1997 when Jeff managed to beat the
old record by more than 37K (that is 181 QSOs).  Tree managed to work more
than 50 more QSO's than Jeff did in 1997.  At one point when I dropped in
to see how John was doing at my station, the only comment he made was
that N6TR was only (I believe) 30 QSOs behind him operating with 1500w!  

Oh, I also think Pat also deserves a lot of credit for getting the station
patched back together for Tree.  I don't have all the details of what he
accomplished in just a few days, but maybe Tree can fill us in.

Great score OM!  Hopefully nobody will feel compelled to fly to KP4 to
prove how much better they are than you.  ;)

Before this goes any further...everybody sit tight!

I am the one who has "accused" N0FP of making up this guy...this is my 
feeling alone - and should I find out that this story holds water I will 
immediately post a message to this reflector that I appologize to N0FP 
for that charactarization...

I should note that I do appreciate Ford calling me in the SS this past 
weekend, at the that point he hadon Saturday night he had logged 188 
calls in his log so he clearly is NOT incapable of CW contesting!

My gut feeling is that there are not contesters out there who 
deliberately shoot themselves in the foot by telling a calling station 
to "go awy" - I have been told to go away in essence by non-contesters 
wwho I happen to find in heretofore unworked multipliers on any given 
weekend...that is about the only time a contest QSO is turned down!

I have NOT spoken with Ford, and am asking he reply to me directly so we 
can continue this discussion privately...

My reaction is a result of years of watching contesting get watered 
down...too many categories and too little recognition of significant 
achievements put forth by guys from propagationally challenged area, 
etc.  Before this sucker gained a head of steam and someone suggested a 
new category for making their first 100 CW contests contacts I interjected.


SO - EVERYBODY QRX (for you phone guys that means standby)


To K0HB - I gather you know Ford, please tell him to get with me on 
 this, as anyone who reads this reflector knows I am very much so 
pro-contesting...it was not my intention to make this reflector appear 
like the TV commercials of the previous week....

Well, I guess now we can add "liar" to the list of names I've been called
over a rather innocent posting a few days ago Re: Unsportsmanlike?  Hmmm  I
guess it's been about 40 years since somebody stuck their tongue out
at me and exclaimed "liar-liar-pantsonfire!"  She and I were both 6 years
old
at the time -- her name was Susan.

In spite of the generally held belief that SSCW is the "Grand Prix" of CW
contesting, this is not about CW Speed at all.  It is about "Culture."
Contesting
culture.  Ever have a job where the work environment is "caustic?"  A great
job can turn into slavery in no time because the culture is screwed up.
It's no fun to be there.  A caustic culture can happen at work, in churches,
sports teams, political campaigns, families, ham radio contests, and
internet reflectors.

Not all the public and private posts have been so pointedly negative towards
me.  I am but one voice in a sea of voices.  Here is a clip from one very
notable
private and unsolicited response...

> This thread reminded me of why I quit active contesting and sold
everything.

There goes another missed Q...  Only this time, everybody gets to miss it.

There is a very fine line between "man this is fun" and "man this sucks."
It has nothing to do with radio, CW, SSB, RTTY, hardware, skill, or
otherwise.  It has to do with culture.  When it's fun to be there, you can't
keep people away.  When the "fun" is gone, so are the people.

If you want people to come to work in the morning, make it inviting. If you
want contesting to grow, make it inviting.  If you want people to
participate on this reflector, make it inviting.  Otherwise, you will end up
playing with yourself, all by yourself (pun intended).  My original posting
was intended to illustrate only one point.  This culture can be caustic to
newbies.

In OJ's treatise flaming me, he expressed great disdain for Political
Correctness.  The moderator rejected my initial response as being
inappropriate.  Apparently, words starting with F and Y are not permitted
when used together.  So, in an attempt to provide a more politically correct
response, those magic words are not included herein.

Smart move, Tom.  NV6O went the same route, for the same reason.  I 
remember one time calling him in a PHONE NAQP as "N4BO."  There was this 
long silence, and when he came back, he was still laughing, fortunately.

My impression -- ain't hindsight wonderful -- is that the B/6 and V/4 busts 
are particularly common because people have trouble distinguishing 3 dots 
vs 4 at or above their speed limit.  I have occasional problems with being 
heard as NV7R, but even as long as the2X1 calls have been around, I still 
think that 1X2 or 1X3 is more "expected" and therefore people are less 
inclined to bust my call into a 2X1.

I am also interested in Bill's request .  Having a lot of business as well
as relatives in LA, I travel the Houston to New Orleans I-10 route
frequently and always try to get a glimpse of Pat's great antenna farm as I
pass by the Breaux Bridge area.

Headed to New Orleans on Thursday before SSCW weekend as I passed through
the area I was concerned as to what kind of damage Lilli had caused. Going
east I saw nothing -- maybe an 18-wheeler pulled along side or something.
But on Monday going west I could see several towers standing but couldn't
tell if any functioning hardware was still on top and wondered if Tree had
been able to make his annual SS CW trip to Acadiana.  Sounds like enough was
still available to allow him to make a fantastic QRP score.  Of course the
only requirement for that appears to be the proverbial "wet noodle at 30
ft".

A report on the effects of Lilli at W5WMU and Pat's efforts to get it back
in shape for SSCW would be interesting.

T-F Set does not generate a tone.  However, unless RIT or XIT are
engaged then the cw sidetone pitch very acurately reflects the actual
transmit freq.  T-F Set is used to temporarily switch to the opposite

they would provide a useful analytical tool for all of us.

Unfortunately, to date I've only received about 9 responses.  I figure that 
50-100 are needed to give meaningful statistical data.

I'm basically looking for just 4 numbers.  Please take a minute and send 
them to me directly.  You don't have to be a high scorer, or high power.  I 
will publish the results on the reflector.  Here's what I need:

All of the TS940's  I've ever used have this feature to some degree.
It
becomes more obvious as the bands become more quiet -- such as
when you move up to 10 meters at night.  Tighten the CW VBT and
you will peak it.  Put a resistor in series with your headphone leads
and
you might attenuate it to a tolerable level.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] N6TR's QRP SS


Maybe some of you missed it, but N6TR operated from the mostly broken
(thank Lilly) W5WMU station this past weekend as QRP.  Results:

Total: 1105  Sections = 79  Total Score = 174,432

He bested superman N5TJ's record from 1997 when Jeff managed to beat the
old record by more than 37K (that is 181 QSOs).  Tree managed to work
more
than 50 more QSO's than Jeff did in 1997.  At one point when I dropped
in
to see how John was doing at my station, the only comment he made was
that N6TR was only (I believe) 30 QSOs behind him operating with 1500w!


Oh, I also think Pat also deserves a lot of credit for getting the
station
patched back together for Tree.  I don't have all the details of what he
accomplished in just a few days, but maybe Tree can fill us in.

Great score OM!  Hopefully nobody will feel compelled to fly to KP4 to
prove how much better they are than you.  ;)

I don't understand the phenomena completely, but we finally gave up on NV7A.
Statistically, when S&P'ing on CW, about one in four stations either missed
the call the first time, copied it as N4ZA or asked for a repeat on the
State.

So, here goes another grand experiment. As of today, NACHO (Nevada Ass'n of
Contest Highland Operators) is now W7TTT. We'll see how often it becomes W7O
in CQ CW. In SS Phone, it will be W7 Tic Tac Toe.

I guess it has to do with familiarity, intention, fortitude and/or
expectancy.  If you have the intention and the fortitude to put up with
miserable behavior from some, you just deal with it.  If you are familiar
and know what to expect, it doesn't faze you.

There's a famous restaurant in Chicago called Ed Debevic's.  The
waitresses are paid to be rude to the customers.  Most of the customers
know this, expect it and play along.  If you went in there not knowing of
their reputation or not expecting it, I suppose you wouldn't stay there
very long.

BTW, I estimate from what I know that only a tiny percentage of contesters
are rude.  Probably the same percentages as in any other endeavor.

Hi Pete:

I think the worst mistake I ever made in contesting was in CQ WPX CW in
1996, the year the summer Olympics were in Atlanta.  Georgia stations
could subsitute other numbers in their calls to celebrate the Olympics. 
"34" for the 34th Olympiad, add two zeros, or "96" for the year.  I
elected to be K96BAI for that period--maybe it was May through August of
1996 for most general operating and it wasn't too much of a problem to
get the call across.  The first contest to come along was, of all
things, a PREFIX contest.  So, what would be more natural than to be a
new multiplier for everyone, a K96?  Well, I reckoned without the
problem caused in contest operation by the "6B" combination,
particularly coming after K9, which was in itself a complete prefix. 
After a few hours, I ferverently wished I was just K4BAI for the rest of
the contest.  I stuck it out, but S&P was a real chore.  It is truly
amazing that contest operators can (apparently?) copy a random three
digit serial number the first time every time, but cannot copy an
unexpected callsign such as K96BAI even on three or four repeats.  (And
to any contester who was really prepared for a prefix contest, the
callsign should not have been unexpected.)  

Which is a long way of saying that I agree with you and with Tom's
decision on the call NV7A.  He gave it a good try for a number of years.

73,


John, K4BAI.

Would this be a bad time to say that I don't believe that anyone would 
actually have the naivete to come on halfway through a contest & say "Work 
me again, I lost my computer log". But I have been told by some that this 
has happened.

Message-ID: <20021108005027.34234.qmail@web13305.mail.yahoo.com>

To change the subject just a bit....

  There seems to be an amazing pile up developing to
get into the CW SS SO HP Top Ten Box. It looks like
there are 10+ stations vying for spots # 8,9, and 10.
Most of the Top Ten in fact will come down to the log
checking. Last year the Top 20 lost from 13 to 72(!)
QSO's in the checking, so this could really go down
to the wire.
  The question is: why does it take until June to get
the results? The entire contest season will be over,
and it may (or may not) be summer here, and my mind
will be a million miles from contests.
  A proposal: If you are playing for the Top Ten, you
have 24 hours to get your Cabrillo logs in. (Please
don't offer any excuses, people with a room full of 
radio gear can manage this requirement.)
  A database of all worked calls is made up from the 
logs, and the correct exchange info for each call is 
determined, say by 90% agreement amongst the entered
logs. Incorrectly copied Q's are removed from the
entered logs.
  The question of what to do with uniques. This is
probably meat for a years worth of discussion. IMHO,
it seems that there should be NO uniques among the
top 100 or so scorers in the CWSS contest. There is no
"begging" for Q's (anybody, anywhere) like on SSB, and
all the logs for all the Top Ten box entrants would
be in the database (Q,A,B,U,M classes). Uniques are
thus tossed out. I could live with this for the CWSS.
  The results would be posted in a week. Tree, your
comments? The last thought I have is that maybe QST
would publish Top 20 boxes if they are going to do
away with the line scores. That leaves 100 spots to 
get your call in QST, certainly a suitable goal for
a contester willing to put in some time and effort.

Back to the regular program........

Anybody here know how I can reach KC5TJG?  He is in the Dallas area & I can
find no email address for him anywhere that doesn't bounce.

I am going through spot comments about QSLs for VR2BG.  Such comments can
result in no VR2BG participation in contests - judging from how I was chased by
others during the two dozen S&P contacts I made from CQ WW SSB, very few got
the VR mult this year.

Not that KC5TJG's spot is considered to be in the same category as the
person who appears as W0SF-@ & others who are fueled by his spots &
comments... in this case I wish to close the loop with George to make sure
he gets a card, although I see I have already sent him a card for all the 
contacts
I see with him in my log.

Wonder how many other DX stations give contests a miss because of the
expectation of QSL instantaneous gratification by the "Deserving"?  I myself
fell really behind once, but I'm quickly catching up on the cards received in
the past six months & am increasingly of the opinion of not having any more
of this rubbish.  It's like we exist only to serve that lot.

Sorry for spew & let me make it clear that I'm not whinging about KC5TJG's
spot - just going through the motions of QSLing & doing it my way: a little
slow, but thorough.

Speaking of Morse in the water, true story follows----

Takes place on a Navy destroyer docked in Norfolk, VA.

As some of you know, in my mis-spent youth and early adulthood I was a Navy
Radioman. In the late 50's, early 60's, that meant that newbie 'bootcampers'
spent most of their waking hours copying the "Fox" CW traffic, monotonous
24WPM 5-letter coded groups for for 8 or 12 hours straight, then crash to grab
some sleep, wake up and eat, and back at it again.

After one particularly long 12-hour watch 9-PM to 9-AM, I had just
grabbed some breakfast, took a shower, and crashed in my bunk at about
10AM. The bunk was just below the waterline and next to the skin of the
ship (5/8" steel plate). As I lay there just drifting off to sleep I
started to clearly hear Morse code coming from the water outside the
hull of the ship. It was slow and choppy, as sent by an inexpert
operator on a mis-adjusted straight key, but it was readable code, and
it seemed to come from more than one source, because there were changes
in pitch and intensity at various times. "Aw, it's only my imagination
fueled by exhaustion" I convinced myself and drifted off to sleep. When
I awoke several hours later, it had disappeared.

When I went back up to the radio shack that evening form my next shift,
I mentioned this to a couple of old hands, they gave me a 'knowing look'
and snickered a bit, and pooh-poohed it away. Somehow I had the feeling
they knew something that they weren't sharing with me.

Fast forward to the next morning after my 12 hour shift. I was beat, so
skipped breakfast and shower and just crashed... in my bunk by 0915.
There was no code coming through the hull! I was my imagination after
all!

10AM -- I am jerked awake by Morse coming at me again, right through the
hull of the ship! Luckily there was another RM, a bit more experienced
than I, in the compartment. Sheepishly I asked him if he heard the same
code I was hearing. I had to convince myself that I wasn't going nuts.

"Of course" he said. "It's Gertrude."

Who the hell is Gertrude, and how is she sending Morse through the hull
of a destroyer?" I asked.

Well, to make a long story short, "Gertrude" was a code word for a sonic
system that Sonarmen useD to communicate with submarines during fleet
exercises. Took a visit to the sonar shack, and they had a J-38 which
they used to key a sonar transducer, and of course they weren't very
expert. Turns out that every Tuesday and Wednesday at 10AM they held
practice drills with other destroyers moored nearby.

Good post, butI fail to see why uniques should be limited to the top
100, else think all your remarks good and fine for discussion.

Every year, W4AX will get on and work me in the 160. He may or not
work anyone else.
Same is true of K4CY, my neighbor, ( alias 9K2ZZ who writes Logger and
Zakanaka ) and Bob would rather be thrown into a pit of vipers than
submit a log to the ARRL.

I've gotten dinged for these "uniques" for the last 2 years. And
afraid I sent a nasty
email the last time. If it happens again, I'm going to send ARRL the
QSL card!

If the ARRL is so rigid about uniques, let them submit a request to
the one who worked it requesting confirmation. Now, what are the odds
some little pistol will get on, work about 10 others just on for fun
on Sunday afternoon, and not one of them submits a log?

I too spent time this weekend wondering if I was going to get beaten by a
guy running 5W!!  Great score Tree.

With the strength of the QRP stations this past weekend, it did strike me
that the SS would do very well as a contest with a 150W output power limit.
We could just have Q and A categories - completely eliminate the high power
category.

Let's face it, we don't really need a KW to work around the USA/Canada.
Since you only need to work once, there is no need for power to make
marginal QSOs on the low bands.

If you look at the results, A is the most popular category anyway.

It will have more of an impact on Phone SS than CW, but not sure that it
wouldn't make Phone more interesting and competitive as well.

Of course, anyone could still go to KP2 or KP4 and win...

Message-ID: <3DCB30A7.9070202@tampabay.rr.com>

I think I have learned a lot in the past few says.

One of the things I have learned is that maybe I should not use the 
internet and public postings to drag others into my personal 
business...it appears there has been quite a hornets nest generated.

I gather form N0FP that he has been sent numerous e-mails which are less 
than positive in their tone. To him I apologize for his having to endure 
this.

The original thread about how some ham could be "dissed" by a contester 
is an important thread.  I felt it important because I do not think any 
contester should ever turn down a QSO - only under extreme QRM/QRN/QSB 
type situations where you truly have tried to copy the other station but 
just plain cannot dig them out of the ether shouldyou say no.  I find it 
offensive that some guy could ruin another guys attmept to have some fun 
contesting by telling them to "go awy".

It appears we will never know who the offending station may have been, 
that is all I wanted to know as I wanted to try and set him, the "go 
awy" guy straight... to remind him that such behaviour is not just poor 
sportsmanship but a behaviour which can only hurt a sport which already 
has more than its share of "haters".

Contesting is truly an individual thing - and that in my opinion is why 
it has a following that tends have a long life span.  You improve on 
your station, your skills and consequently your scores, this takes time 
and dedication.  Nobody gets on for the first time and lands in the box, 
ever.  Becuase it is not a  fat wallet that is the requiremnt for a 
"winner" many persue contesting.  They know that the wineers are those 
that win every time they operate by their challenging their biggest foe 
- themselves.  If you keep doing better than you have done in the 
past... you  find yourself doing better than a whole lot of others, too!

It is good to push yourself, it is part of the human character.  In all 
portions of your life.

Again I am sorry that this got as ugly as it appears it did for Ford, he 
made a clean sweep last weekend, anyone who spends that much time in the 
chair clearly enjoys contesting - it is a shame he has to see it now as 
a two edged sword.

I repeat my request, should you know of the offending station let me 
know. He needs some education as to why contesting which we know as out 
and out fun is something others view as out and out crud and they do not 
need us adding to their flamage.

Let's talk about some positive things from this past weekend like the 
phenomenal QRP score of N6TR, or how N2NC (piloting N2NT) has made it to 
the top scorers in SS, from the Northeast, this is tough...jow about the 
midwest scores of W8RE and N9RV????   Anyone know of some newbies who 
were energized by their first real SS, and have any positive stories to 
convey here.  I think I could use some!

I promise to try to stop being quite as terse as it appears I was, and 
will try and reread my posts before hitting send... in its own way I 
suppose I am guilty of telling some to "go awy" -  and for that I apologize.

73,

Jim, K4OJ

If I read this right, it sure sounds like DXers can give contesters a run
for their money in terms of being nasty.  I guess DXers have little
incentive for being nice to anyone...at least contesters have to think about
next year!

Man...and after the past few days' posts, I was starting to think contesters
were the scourge. ;-)

Why?

Uniques (assuming we're talking about legitimate QSOs with stations 
that happen to only make one QSO and not mis-copied calls) are good.

How would deleting uniques make the reporting process faster?

Not me...but then I've only made Top Ten in CWSS once.  Near the 
bottom.  Low Power.

        For the 2000 WPX CW I borrowed NV4X from K4MA.  This
turned out to be a big mistake for CW.  Most seemed to copy it
as N4VX, possibly because of the similarity to K4VX.  I tried
slowing down only the letter V, using half spaces between the
letters, etc, etc, all to no avail.  After only 3 hours I figured 
it was going to be a long weekend.  Fortunately my XYL rescued
me by requiring an early Saturday AM visit to the hospital where
I spent the rest of the weekend.

        Stay away from those NV prefixes on CW!

During cqww ssb my AR-Cluster node was apparently 'full' for a while
resulting in some users getting rejected.  I know I saw 80 users
connected at least twice, that plus the telnet node connections just ran
it out of connections and with 1200+ spots/hr may also have been slowing
down the service.  For future contests please try to spread the load out
a bit.  Here in the north east the following AR-Cluster nodes normally
connect to me and should have the same spots within seconds of my node.

W1GQ dx.w1gq.net
K1EU k1eu.dynip.com
AA2MF dxc.aa2mf.net
W2GSB 24.187.239.170 (replaces n2tx but has been experiencing some kind
of problems recently)

Please try them out before the next contest, set any filters you may
want on each one, and make sure you know how to switch your telnet
software in case you have to do it in the heat of the contest.

To me, this once again underlines why we're all waiting for Logbook of the

And for those in David's section of the woods, remember RXCLUS can do

Randy,

You are assuming that everyone is using a good antenna system. Until
I get the time to go head-to-head with the city of Los Angeles for a
conditional use permit, I am stuck with antenna by Eimac. My trapped
vertical on the roof is pretty close to a dummy load, but when you
pump 1000 watts into it, enough signal leaks out to make some contacts
and have a little fun. This is definitely not W5WMU.

I got to thinking...(obviously a dangerous situation)

WAZ - Western Arizona - DXers would love this one and could get Worked All 
Zones with one QSO
NIL - Northern Illinois - This would be a hard place from which to have a 
Golden Log
SUV - Southern Urban Valley - This one consists of anyone operating from a 
freeway in the Los Angeles basin
CPR - Central Puerto Rico - These are so rare, your heart stops when they call 
you
SID - Southern Idaho - Every time they call, the band goes dead
WAR - Western Arkansas - Don't get in a frequency fight with these guys
NUT - Northern Utah - The crazy guys moved here to get away from the Black 
Helicopters
SRI - Southern Rhode Island - You'll regret operating from here
CIA - Central Iowa - They never ID properly or submit logs
OLA - Outer Louisiana - Always tuning up...always
DOH - Downstate Ohio - Every QSO winds up busted somehow
CPA - Central Pennsylvania - They can account for every contact
OIL - Outer Illinois - Any truth to the rumor that these guys run gas?
EON - Eastern Ontario - Gosh, these operators are slow
IKY - Inner Kentucky - The signals from here are disgusting
WIN - Western Indiana - Obviously, THE place to be in any contest

See you in the PHONE (that's PHONE...not CW) Sweepstakes next weekend.

And then there was the time I moved to France for a year, and was loaned 
the callsign TV6MHZ to use in the WPX contest.  I also quickly learned
that S&Ping was not productive.

It was only slightly better with 4U1ITU - only because that people have
heard the call enough - but still not something people can latch onto
quickly.

The best callsigns?  Either double letters, or ones that spell something.

I worry about W7TTT, since it isn't "self-syncing".  I look forward to 
busting that callsign in future contests.

Randy,

>From my point of view I would be depressed if the B category would
be done away with. It seems to me the really big guns usually
enter B class. That leaves a chance for a little pistol like myself,
one tribander and wires, to make the top ten in A class as I did
a couple of years ago. Do away with B class and little guys like
me will probably never see the top 10 again with all the big gun
stations fighting for the same. Selfish? Yes, but trying to make
the box is a big motivator for me and SS is one of the few contests
where I got a shot at it from home. 

I know we don't need big power to work USA/Canada but at least
it gives us another category for competition. We already have NAQP
for 100W and QRP competitions.

I think it is easy to understand why this takes as long as it does.  First,
it takes about 2 months to get all of the logs, and fix some of the problem
logs up (those that are missing information or logged the contest in local
time or sent in the previous year's log).  Then, the log crunching has to
occur, and in the past few years, there has been work put into improving 
the capabilities of that process at the same time.  Once the numbers are
generated, then the writeup needs to be written and folded into the schedule
of the two people in the contest department at the ARRL.  Then, finally, it
goes off to the printers and gets mailed out using the slow mail.

And that doens't mention the paper logs that have to be dealt with manually
(still about 10 percent).

Many things are changing that can reduce this time and already this has 
happened.  The robots are helping clean up problem logs in real time.
Publication of the results on the web eliminates the printing and 
mailing delay.  The log checking process is near "perfection" and requires
less development in parallel.  It might be very possible to have "final"
results for all stations within two months of the contest.

The ARRL has come up with a new schedule for results, and things are moving
up about 6 weeks for this year I understand.

WB0O goes on to wonder about uniques:

>   The question of what to do with uniques. This is
> probably meat for a years worth of discussion. IMHO,
> it seems that there should be NO uniques among the
> top 100 or so scorers in the CWSS contest. 

This really isn't an issue in my opinion.  First off, uniques are only
a problem if a log has a lot of them.  All logs are going to have a few,
but when a log shows up with 10X the average (that aren't matched to 
busted calls), then this raises suspicions.  

For sure, any uniques a top scoring station has will be looked at.  There
have been some cases where it was obvious that "friends" got carried away
using multiple callsigns.  These QSOs were not removed, but in most cases,
these friends were encouraged to stick with one callsign, and to work some
other stations in the contest.

But - just to be clear - no uniques are removed without being judged to
be a busted callsign.

K4SB chimes in:

> I've gotten dinged for these "uniques" for the last 2 years. And
> afraid I sent a nasty

> QSL card!

I am not sure this happened in the SS?  It takes a lot of unprobable 
events to occur for any unique to be "dinged".  Please provide specific
data if this is the case - as I would be intersted in knowing more about
it.  Uniques are not removed from any log without being identified as
a busted callsign.  This applies to all contests I am aware of (except
the Internet Sprints and Keyman Club of Japan contests which require
both logs to show the QSO to be counted).

If you are concerned about uniques being listed, then please understand
this is a tool to detect people that have way too many uniques, a sign
of manufactured QSOs.  It also flags possible bad QSOs that can later be
judged to be busted either by the software or a human.

Finally, WB0O asks for my opinion (a dangerous thing):

> The results would be posted in a week. Tree, your comments? 

I would not want to make the call on who makes the top ten in a tight race
without having all of the information available.  Part of the log checking
process involves cross checking the QSOs with the logs we have.  This will
detect not-in-log situations, as well as incorrect serial numbers.  

If we did this before all of the logs were in, the stations with higher
error rates will look better than they should.  For each NIL not detected,
there is a 2 QSO impact.  Thus, an inaccurate log will be more competitive
without all of the logs being used in the process.

Therefore, I would suggest that if you wanted even faster results than 
supported by the log submission deadline, you work to move up the log
submission deadline for all logs.

Finally, AA4GA asks an interesting question:

> How would deleting uniques make the reporting process faster?

It makes it a LOT easier - because uniques are much easier to detect than
busted calls.  You have no judgement involved at all.  A unique is simply
a callsign that nobody else worked.  It takes a lot more work and time to 
match these up to busted calls.  In a contest like the SS, that is pretty
easy because of the "quality" of the exchage (lots of good information that
can be used to help you match up the call).  For other contests, like the 
ARRL DX and CQ WW, where the exchange is pretty useless, it is a lot harder.
These contests would be about 100X times easier to check if uniques were
just not counted.

Please understand I am not proposing this...  I am just answering the 
question Lee asked.

November QST (p.104) says "We are still working on the schedule, but in 
general, the results should be available to ARRL members 3 to 4 months after 
the end of the event.  This allows us time to process logs, handle problems, 
add in paper logs and generate a nice write-up.  This is 2 to 3 months sooner 
than the current QST schedule."    For non-members the results will be 
available on the ARRL web site the month before the QST issue (i.e. early 
October for results that will be in November QST) - or 5 to 7 months after the 
contest.   At least that is the stated plan!

The only date that has been mentioned is that Logbook of the World would be 
implemented during 2002...    as of today that is still the plan.    The first 
sign of it being "real" will be a request for people to help out in the final

 You would think the process would be quicker since everything is
computerized now. Before email came along (from what I remember) the CW
results would be in the Apr. issue of QST and SSB in May. Maybe that
10% of people who send paper logs are slowing down the process ?? 
Maybe they ought to just classify those paper logs a "check logs". I
doubt it would cause much of a fuss because I bet most of those logs
are probably from casual participants anyway...

  If you think about it... It's not how much power you run but the ERP
that you are getting from your antenna that makes you loud. Tree
probably would of beat me out in most pileups ... at least on the
higher bands, since he was at big station using stacked yagis !!! Is it
maybe time for a tribander/wire class in SS like they have in WPX ???

Jeff,

Try a trapped vertical (actually half of an Cushcraft A3 driven element)
shooting into the side of a 4000' mountain (in the direction of all the
SS QSOs). I think we need a new precedence for situations like this
- it will be class "D" for dummy load or perhaps "P" short for "PW".
RF output power will be unlimited in this class as long as you can prove
that 90% of it is turned into heat in the antenna, feedline, or nearby
terrain (e.g. high EURP - effective unradiated power).

This will give all us lids who are loading up various forms of
moistened pasta, window frames, and home wiring a class to
compete in.

I agree with that completely.  All arguments aside about whether someone
with less than 13 wpm code speed should participate in SS, my philosophy
is - unless the other station is causing deliberate interference to me or 
being malicious, I just work him.  I'd never say "go away".

Whenever I get to running stations in ARRL DX, there are always some
stateside stations that call me.  They probably don't have a clue about
the contest rules and think they're doing me a favor by giving me some
points.  This usually happens on Sunday afternoon/evening.  I just work
them, log them and then keep that copy of the log but remove the QSO's for
the log I send to ARRL.  It's a sure thing that a good number of them are
going to send me QSL's!

Nope, I don't think ERP was the reason. Assuming Tree was running 5
watts, a 30db gain over real earth would be the equivilent of 160
watts to a dipole. And I don't know of any set of stacked yagis which
has that gain. Plus, you would have to have the ability to lower the
stack to get the desired take off angle. 5 degree TO is fine for DX,
but
you don't hear USA stations with it.

Tree was as loud as a rock band here, but I have to think the
operator, and location did the job.

Message-ID: <4.2.0.58.20021108220933.009b08c0@mail.comcast.net>

Speaking of callsigns which are hard to decipher, my worst experience came 
back in the late seventies (when I was at college in Arkansas) that I took 
a trip up to visit a buddy at the University of Missouri in Rolla, MO 
.  Jeff was not a ham, but had hung out with K5GO and I and had absorbed a 
lot of "contesting culture" at the original N5DX so he knew I'd be 
interested in trying out the club station, particularly since it was ARRL 
DX weekend.

The UMR club station was (and still is) W0EEE which was equipped with a 
Drake C-Line, SB-220 and (among other antennas) an 80M flat top dipole 
stretched between two 160' campus power station smokestacks.  Man, I could 
hardly wait.

It didn't take long before I came to discover how difficult it was to get a 
callsign full of "Es" through a 80M CW pileup.  Signal strength was not the 
issue - the callsign simply had no "inertia" to it.  Sending the call 
normally simply did not work.  The only thing that worked was "di dah dah, 
dah dah dah dah dah, dit (pause), dit (pause), dit".  It was humiliating...

After two hours, pizza sounded a lot better than low band frustration.

Hi Randy

Interesting post.  This year I've tried something new.  I
disconnected the amp and have been running the rigs barefoot
here.  I don't do a lot of CQ'ing--mostly s&p.  In the RTTY
contests I've been in, I can't really see any difference from
running 100 watts or 600 watts.  Still seem to get through on the
first call.  The wife, neighbors and everyone else seems to
appreciate me running low power now :-)  Think I'll go the rest
of the season running low power.  The only real difference I've
found is trying to work Eu on 40 from Oregon with low power, but
it can be done.  73

Ed, although I pretty much agree with your conclusion, I am
wondering where you got the 30dB figure? The difference
between 5 watts and 160 watts is 15dB (about 2.5 S units on
a calibrated meter). A good long boom monobander will do
about 9dB over a dipole at the same height. That leaves about
6dB needed for operating skill to match an "A" power guy with
a dipole at a good height for SS. Of course most of the really
competitive "A" scores are probably from guys with moderate
to good antenna systems (TH-7/402CD). In those cases, the
difference between the EIRP of the 150 watt guy and the QRP
superstation are even larger, requiring the QRP superstation
operator (and location) to make up for something like 9 to
12 dB of EIRP deficit (if I had to calibrate Tree's operating
skill I would put it closer to 12dB).

The one big advantage in my estimation that a superstation like
W5WMU can give an SS operator is a lot of different antennas
to chose from. The guy with a single TH-7 (or dipole for that
matter) can't overcome the physics of his antenna height. At
certain takeoff angles, he will invariably have nulls in his vertical
pattern. The guy with stacks can bip-bop around and fill these
nulls in. This can make a huge difference as anyone who has
switched from an antenna that is too high to one that is at
optimum height can testify. Being able to quickly switch
azimuth direction doesn't hurt either.

Once a few years back, I needed VE6 for a CW sweep.  Couldn't
fine one anywhere.  Just a few minutes before the end of the
contest I heard some VE6's rag-chewing on 80 so I broke in and
asked if someone could give me an exchange on CW.  One guy did
and I made my sweep.  Now, if I did that, it would probably get

Message-ID: <20021109055948.GA31131@kkn.net>

While operating at W5WMU this weekend was sure a surprise and
I am very pleased with the result, it actually isn't my best
QRP story.  I'll tell the WMU story afterwards.

I think it was Field Day in 1979, there was a 2A battery operation
in the Malibu mountains with the call N6VI.  This was when Marty Woll
and Wayne Overbeck, N6NB, had those neato tower trailers and they
had nice monobanders on a mountain top.

I wasn't able to be there for the whole weekend, but I agreed
to come do the night shift, from midnight until 6 AM.  Finding
a FD site during the night time can be a challenge, but I think
I made it just before it got totally dark.

I sat down in front of some kind of Japanese radio - the kind they
sell in Japan that only runs 5 watts.  It was on 20 meters and
N6NB settled down to get some sleep in the cabin of his motor home
(the same one you see on the cover of QST when he did an EME effort
on the Nevada/Utah state line or something like that).

What happened in the next six hours is hard for me to believe, even
today, but I was able to run on both 20 SSB and CW like I was running
a KW.  I actually could CLEAR A FREQUENCY on 20 meter phone by CQing.
This is something I am not sure I have ever done since.  

I was convinced there had to be an amplifier somewhere, but I operated
the whole period on one battery.  I QSYed to CW for awhile and then 
came back to phone.  I remember having something like 530 QSOs in 
that six hour period.  I think my best hour was in the 130s.

One of those magic moments I'll never forget.  Wayne now has a fine
station on another mountain top, and N6MU beat me in a phone SS when
I did QRP from home five years ago.

As far as what happened this weekend, I was determined to not make
myself any weaker than I had to.  I was going to aggressively CQ
with one radio for the whole contest - and S&P with the other.  

At the start, I was very lucky to have good conditions on 10 meters.
Most big guns would have started on 15, but I knew the higher in
frequency I could be, the easier it would be for me to attract 
attention.  I didn't need to be working the whole country either, 
I just needed propagation somewhere - anywhere where there were
stations.  

The first hour netted me 83 QSOs - with 60 CQs answered on 10 meters
and 23 QSOs on 15 with the second radio.  I pretty much stayed on
10 with the CQ radio for the first two hours - switching to 15 at 
22:47.  During that time on 10, I was getting good results to the
west coast and the northeast.  Begin able to have 4/4 to the NE and
4/4 to the NW at the same time was very useful.  

15 picked up pretty much where 10 left off.  I spent some time with
the second radio picking off the loud guys who were CQing on 10.  
By switching the run radio and second radio, it was like starting 
the contest all over again.  My second hour was 74 and the third
hour was 67 - 224 QSOs and I hadn't touched 20 meters yet.

The second radio moved to 20 at 0012Z where it made its 71st QSO.
The rate on 15 was still good - I had 39 QSOs in the 00Z hour and
35 there in the 01Z - all CQing.

When 15 started slowing down - I made a good decision and avoided 
trying to CQ on 20 meters.  One of the things I have learned about
W5WMU is to never underestimate what you can do on 40 meters.  One
year, my 20 meter coax fried in the first 10 minutes, and I went to
40 after a 30 minute break.  The result?  Over 1000 QSOs on 40 and 
my second victory.  I held my breath, and moved the CQ radio down 
to 40 meters and found a clear spot down in the bottom 10 kHz of
the band.

Would anyone hear me?  Would that 40 meter beam that was twisted
by Lili do the job?

Oh yeah.

My 02Z hour was 72 - with 61 QSOs on 40 meters and 9 second radio
QSOs on 20.  In the 03Z hour, I moved the second radio down to 80 
and chased the W9s (to whom I hadn't had much of a chance to work
yet and they were having a very tough time with the aurora).  

I think the aurora really helped me - as the transcontinental signals
were down and I was far enough south to have a direct path to both
coasts.

03Z netted 42 QSOs on 40 and 36 for each of the two hours after that.  

I felt like I lost focus some and took a break in the 06Z hour,
which had only 17 QSOs in it.  Getting back on 40 resulted
hours of 46 and 38 (with about a quarter of those coming from
the second radio on 80).  I went to bed at 0900Z with 674 QSOs
in the log - pretty much where I had hoped to be.

After three hours of sleep, I got back on 40 and 80 and kept 
going.  However, after about 30 minutes, I pretty much had worked
80 meters out and 40 was starting to slow down...  After 3 minutes
of CQing with no results, I boldly decided to go to 20 meters 
and try CQing there.  I heard one or two signals on the band, and
they were pretty loud.  There wasn't enough activity to S&P, 
so I called CQ at 12:37 and got called by AJ1E in EMass with a 
big signal  I think I was on 14009 or so.  I worked a QSO on
40 with the sceond radio, and then VE1ZJ called me on 20 and 
then K1VDF in Ct.  This band was wide open to the Northeast 
and it didn't seem like anyone else was on the band.  In the 
last 23 minutes of the 12Z hour, I had 11 QSOs on 20.  Not great,
but it was good production for the second day of the SS.  The
overall hour came in at 44 - a total any B power station would be
happy with at this point in the contest.

The 13Z hour was magic on 20 - with 33 answers to my CQs to go 
with 14 second radio QSOs on 40.  This is also when VO1HE called
me on 20 to give me the last mult I would get.  This really saved
me from getting burnt later on trying to bust through VO1MP's 
pileup.  

During the 14Z hour, 20 started getting crowded and it was
time to move to 15 and hope that the same kind of thing would
repeat itself.  15 came through with 28 answers to my CQs in 
the 14Z hour to go with 12 second radio QSOs on the second 
radio.  That adds up to 40 - another great hour.

I pretty much hung out on 15 for most of the daytime.  I would
use a 30 minute break here and there to give the band a chance
to recover with fresh stations to work.  As the day wore on, my
second radio production started to fall off.  I just kept tuning 
over the same stations over and over again.  I did manage 50 second
radio QSOs in the last 6 hours, but only 12 in the last 3.  That
was one of the surprises for me - is that this high of a percentage
of my QSOs would come from CQing in the last 3 hours.  The second
radio did pick up in the last hour, when it seemed that a lot of
new stations showed up on the bands.

My average rate for the afternoon was just over 30 QSOs an hour.
There were many times were nobody would answer me for 4 or 5 
minutes, but then I would get 2 or 3 stations calling in and that
would set me up for another dry spell.

Around 0100Z, I had 1069 QSOs and a big storm blew in.  I used up
my last off time and went outside to watch the rain.  I got back
on at 0131 on 20 meters, rain static and all, to see if I could 
get some rate going.  That first 30 minutes yielded only 10 QSOs.
There is a gap of 13 minutes in the log with nothing.  Finally,
K7SS called me and woke me up.  However, the next 30 minutes 
only yielded 8 QSOs!!  A 7 minute and a 8 minute gap showed up.
I tried CQing on 40, and would get one or two answers, and then
nothing.  I was really worried about having enough margin to 
break the record after log checking at this point.

Finally, around 0230, some new stations started showing up on
the bands.  Also, 20 meters seemed to settle a little for me
and I started getting a few answers.  The last 30 minutes yielded
18 QSOs - the same as the previous hour.  It felt wonderful to
crawl over 1100 QSOs (thanks to KM3T for calling in for #1100).  
I did spend the last 10 minutes CQing on 40 and had 4 stations 
answer to go with one QSO on 20 to end up at 1105.

Finally, it was time for a Corona and to tune in on 3830 to hear 
how the high power shootout went.

I feel I was lucky to pick a weekend to do this when conditions 
were poor for many people.  My geographical location played 
really well.  If conditions the first night had been more
like the conditions the second night, I think I would not
have had anywhere near the success I did.

In summary, the things that really worked well for me were:

- Able to CQ on 10 meters with results for two hours at the
start of the contest.

- Being able to avoid 20 meters for the first three hours of
the contest - and pretty much skipping it to go to 40.

- The endless answers to my CQs on 40.

- Good second radio production on 80.

- Fantastic production on 20 to start the morning.

- Crawling along on 15 during the day at around 30/hour.

About the only thing that didn't go well was those couple
of hours before things picked up right at the end.  If I
hadn't have had at least one break when the storm hit, it
would have been much worse.

I also never heard VY1JA - so that was a missed multiplier.

So there you have it - the long story.  The radios were the
same TS850s I used last year.  I checked their wattermeters
against a bird slug and they ended up the power control all
the way down, and the carrier between 11 O'clock and 12
O'clock (depended on the band and match).  It would have been
nice to have done this with my K2, but I am not quite 
comfortable enough yet with it to use it in a major contest.

See http://www.kkn.net/~tree/gallery for the pictures.

And thanks for all of the QSOs!

That's obscene!

Is the ARRL actually tossing uniques because they're uniques now?  I 
haven't been keeping up with the state of the super-duper-log-
checking.  I remember CQ reports them, but I don't think they remove 
them just because they're unique.

Please tell me the ARRL isn't doing that now...if they are, it just 
gives me one more reason to be upset with the League.

Sigh,

Hmmm...when I learned the code, and 8 months later, when I passed the 
20 wpm Extra code test, I didn't do it because of any commercial or 
military viability.  I just wanted my ham ticket.  That was incentive 
enough.  And I had no desire to operate code at that time...it was 
only after I had gained a reasonable degree of proficiency that I 
began to enjoy using CW and started using it as a matter of choice.

It's the best incentive...but I'm odd anyway...I took the CPA exam

Wrong.  A "unique" is a good QSO unless proven otherwise.  Why is that 
concept so hard to grasp?

Just this evening, Tree addressed this issue ...

"But - just to be clear - no uniques are removed without being judged
to be a busted callsign."

and

"Uniques are not removed from any log without being identified as
a busted callsign."

Our FQP log checking procedures are exactly the same.  If a "unique" 
cannot be verified to be busted, it stays in the log.

Having played around with log checking software, I know that "uniques" 
can easily be tossed from the log, and doing so, would certainly speed 
up the log checking process.  Verifying "uniques" as valid is probably 
more time consuming, than keying in paper logs or fixing non-Cabrillo 
log formats.

So why bother with checking "uniques"?  Because every QSO you make, 
should be worth the effort spent making it ... and not having your 
efforts go to waste because a piece of software arbitrarily toss it from 
your log.

Dave,

Interesting story.  Yet, I always felt that W3EEE was a really effective call 
on cw, especially with the way he uses a very short pause after each E.

Back in the 70s...W0EEE was very active on the bands and in contest.  So 
was W0QQQ from
Kansas State University.  My point here is that W0QQQ could almost break 
your arm after about 10 hours of contesting.  EEE is very short....QQQ 
takes a long times to send  No memory keyers.  No punch tape.  Just a ten

I thought Tree just categorically dealt with that, when he said that ONLY 
if a unique was shown to be a busted call would it get tossed.  Tree knows 
-- he wrote the checking software.

Lee,

You can relax.  Tree cited the only two contests (neither of which are
involved in this discussion) that require both logs to be submitted and show
all qsos correctly for either to count.

Please understand that uniques are only identified as such by ARRL & CQWW -
THEY ARE NOT REMOVED FROM YOUR LOG !

Uniques are innocent until proven guilty. Read that again.

Tree, who writes the software and performs the log checking, made it clear
MANY times in his post that uniques are only tossed if they are proven to be
busted. No offence intended to anybody, but do consider the source on these
matters.

The only way they can be proven to be busted is if at the same time you
claim to have worked KV4Z, K4VZ claims to have worked you or KV4Z has no
record of a Q with you or other corroborating evidence that proves you got
the call wrong.

If I got on Sunday afternoon and worked one person, that would be a unique,
but would stand. If you busted my call to VE4XY, even that would stand
unless I sent in a checklog for one QSO (like, how likely is that?). If I
worked 100, 99 of whom got my call correctly, the QSOs would stand for all
100, even the guy who busted my call UNLESS I sent in a checklog, and even
though the preponderance of circumstantial evidence suggests that station
busted my call. But circumstantial evidence is not enough.

Now, let's say I don't work anybody, and 100 other stations don't work
anybody. If our 101 callsigns show up in someone's log, that's suspicious.
Possibly suspicious enough that the log checkers would attempt to contact
us. If we say we were not operating in that contest and did not work
anybody, those 101 Qs would likely be tossed. (Should there be a DQ?
Probably.)

But there needs to be proof to toss uniques, even in the above example.

Innocent until proven guilty. Clear?

This is a post, that IMHO, may play well among the superstation crowd but
would get little support from those of us with more modest stations.

Randy's station probably does not qualify for superstation status, but he
certainly has an impressive array of aluminum even so.

The thing about A vs. B is that A lets people break into the Top 10 even
with a TA33 at 42 feet and a G5RV at 35 (me, last year, @ ve4yu). I wouldn't
have had a hope in B, or in a new A without B. A-class is still very
competitive, but squeezing all the Big Guns into A, I think, would act as a
disincentive to some ops.

I think the A vs. B distinction is important for reasons that go beyond any
need for power.

I like WB0O's Top 20 suggestion more than I like the idea of eliminating B,
but I think that Top 20 would then become mandatory if you wiped out B.

I am afraid my understanding of "uniques" has been in error. I was
under the impression they were automatically removed from the log
simply because they appeared in the UBN.
Apparently, such is not the case, unless further evidence is present.

With some really excellent help from Tree, I think I now understand
and apologize if I
have led others astray.

I read Tom's post before Tree's.  Had I read Tree's first, I most 
likely wouldn't have posted a reply.  Read that again.

That being said, I have been burned in the past by the super-duper 
log checking routines myself, so I'm fairly sensitive about the 
potential of having QSOs removed when they are, in fact, valid.

Ever since these guys started talking about this super-duper log 
checking and introduced terms such as "unique QSO", there has been 
talk of someday removing uniques.  It should never happen.

I do consider Tree to be a fine individual, that's not in question.  

I do question the super-duper log checking process though.

Consider first, that this is a hobby - at least it is for me.

Consider that I, and 95% (guess) of the others involved would not 
manufacture contacts for the sake of increasing their score.  

Consider that everyone makes errors in copying from time to time, and 
errors in sending also - even when using a computer for sending CW, 
due to computer hiccups, RFI, whatever.

Consider that the process is rife for sabotage.

> But there needs to be proof to toss uniques, even in the above example.

How about this for a scenario...VE4XT works AA4GA, who makes 100 QSOs 
and sends in a log.  AA4GA's computer or VOX hiccuped and sent his 
call as AA4GT.  That happened when VE4XT logged him (as AA4GT).  
After log checking, wouldn't the QSO be removed from VE4XT's log?  

> Innocent until proven guilty. Clear?

Wasn't VE4XT just proven of being guilty in the previous example?  
Was he guilty?  Clearly.

How about this for a slightly off-topic, but related scenario...VE4XT 
works AA4GA, who makes 100 QSOs and sends in a log.  AA4GA remembers 
back to the last contest when VE4XT "stole" his frequency and decides 
to not log the QSO.  After log checking, wouldn't the QSO be removed 
from VE4XT's log?  Isn't he being penalized for something he didn't 
do?

So, you see, this whole log checking process, while possibly well-
intentioned, just doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling.  I'm pretty 
sure most of the folks involved in it will admit that it's not 100% 
accurate, but that the error is acceptable.  I don't agree, that's 
all.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Not quite that pure
Message-ID: <000c01c288fe$7cc744e0$457ef3d8@n7df>

I have several times had legitimate QSOs struck from my logs where a true 
unique was considered a busted call because a station with a nearly identical 
call to the one I worked as a unique sent his call in.

I sometimes get on and just work one or two of my friends in a contest but 
don't bother sending in a log.  If N7DM, for example, is on in that contest and 
works three or four people but doesn't send in his log either, then it's very 
likely the QSOs I made will be shown as busted calls rather than uniques.  To 
prevent this I usually try to work at least three other stations in other 
categories that I am sure will send in their logs.

As a check in a recent major contest where I made well over 1500 QSOs I 
recorded the entire contest on LP video tapes with a digital clock in the 
video, my audio on one track and the received audio on the other track.  I 
played back the entire contest and verified 100% of my contacts deleting all 
log entries where there was any doubt of the two way QSO.  When I checked  the 
log analysis results I still had nearly 2% of my contacts disallowed as busted 
calls and only 11 unique calls listed.  I went back and reconfirmed the 
contacts where the QSOs were shown as busted and every contact was clearly 
identified as the station I had in the log.

I don't think any system will be 100% accurate but I think there are still too 
many chances for losing legitimate QSOs.  I wonder if something like the 
Super-Check-Partial could look at past contest activity and prevent calls being 
shown as busted if they showed up in past contests.

Perhaps someone can explain what the log checkers would do with this one.  
Let's say WC4E is on in a contest (NAQP or SS for example), but I don't work 
him.  However, I do work WC4I who is trolling across the band and works me 
because he knows me, but works no one else.  He doesn't send in a log, and 
either does WC4E.  How do the log checkers handle that unique in the log I 
sent in.....valid QSO, possible busted, or what?

I may see more of this than others, but it does seem that some of the DXing
crowd can be a little impatient for their QSLs & may not entirely appreciate
things from the DX side, especially if the DX station does his own cards.

There also seems to be a tendency for folks in that group to believe that
QSLs make it possible for the DX station to give up his or her day job, which
is absolute bollocks.

Thanks to N5NJ for putting me in touch with KC5TJG - which is what started
this thread: he received my QSL okay.

Can you be more specific about which contest?  The situation you describe

Well, I hope this wasn't a competitive log as most people feel that listening
to a tape and checking the information after the contest is not in the 
spirit of the contest.

Again, I would like to know specifics.  What contest?  What were the 
callsigns?  I will do what I can to understand what the story is and
report back.

You have two things confused:

1.  If you logged 5C8N and HC8N shows a QSO with you at the same date/time, 
that is a busted call.

2.  If you logged AC1D and you are not in AD1C's (submitted) log at that 
date/time, and AC1D did not send in a log, then you either worked a unique 
call, or AD1C didn't log you (not in log).  This is different from the 
busted call example in #1 above.

Hi Richard
Have a look at the following page from Don, AA5AU, who did a fair bit of
investigation on this subject.
http://www.aa5au.com/usb.html
I have used several of the usb/serial type cables costing about ?25 and they
all work well for rig control and keying.  They DO NOT cope with sending and
receiving FSK very well so be wary if that is your application.

Simple.  Since your example contest, NAQP or SS, has the state/section 
as part of the exchange, the log checker will check what you logged, 
WC4E=FL or WCF and WC4I=KY.  If both of these are logged correctly, 
you'll get credit for both QSO's.

It "may" not be as simple for other contests without states/section or 
other identifying exchange information.  In this case, it's back to if 
it can't be proven to be bad, then it should be counted as a good QSO.

This is also a good argument to SEND IN A LOG ... no matter how big or 
small.  The more logs there are to work with, the more accurate the log 
checking process can be.

Hi to all,
Thanksgiving will find me in Northern Indiana. We'll head back to Tennessee 
on Saturday.
If I can get on while traveling home should I sign K4BEV/M and then K4BEV 
once I arrive; or just sign K4BEV the entire contest (skipping the mobile 
part)? Or just forget trying to work the contest in the car?
The reason I'm asking this is because the /Ms seem to get attention when S&P 
and it would also explain my asking for even more fills than usual (hi).
On the other hand I may be better off just waiting till Sunday to play. 
Mobile pretty much restricts me to 20m trying to work DX with the antenna I 
have for my XYL's car.
How would you handle this?
At least I'll be in Zone 4 the entire time. We almost went to my brother's 
which would have had me starting in 5 and ending up in 4, which may have been 
interesting.

Don,

The contest this year is not on Thanksgiving weekend but the weekend before!
That is the CQWW CW, only happens once in a while.

DUH!
I'm not sure which date I had confused - The contest's or Thanksgiving's.
In any event -- Problem Solved.
AND I won't be wondering if my radio is broken on the way home.

Retirement has had a weird way of screwing up time for me!

Get a Belkin F5U103.  I've had dismal failures with two other adaptors, 
and then found this one mentioned on AA5AU's RTTY website.  Seems to 
work with about any software.  You can even set up to work in a DOS 
window, name the com port, assign an IRQ, and run with DOS loggers like NA.

Does anyone out there in contest land know if there is going to be a Kansas QSO 
Party in January of 2003?  The Web site from 2002 - 
www.ksarrl.net/qso/2002ksqso.htm - doesn't work and emails to last year's 
sponsor go unanswered.

Sorry I'm a few days late on this one.

I don't agree, especially since many actual copying mistakes have this exact
symptom.  I think this should be a wake-up to the transmitting station to
pay attention to what his computer is saying about him.

There is at least one program out there which is smart enough to compensate
for most situations where some other programs could send the unintended
number.  It is user-configurable to send the number of the last QSO under
these circumstances.  It works good, but the bottom line is listen to your
own code, and don't cause someone else to get dinged becuase of your own
errors.

I don't like loosening up the accuracy requirements just to compensate for
lazy operating.

Or did I miss something and it has always been this way?

Is it true that the League is coming out with a Top-11 box?

However, he did not catch that neither station (WC4I or WC4E) submitted a
log in your example.

In your scenario, since no logs were submitted that could prove that you did
not work WC4I, WC4I would just be marked as a Unique in your log, and no
credit lost for the QSO.

Dear Contesters,

Please check the CQ WW web page at http://www.cqww.com to see that your log 
was received at ssb@cqww.com. Besides your call, your category is listed.

The CQ WW Contest Committee wants to thank the thousands of contesters who 
have successfully transitioned to the Cabrillo format. By submitting a 
Cabrillo log you not only insure any errors that we might make are greatly 
reduced, you also make the work of the CQ WW Contest Committee much easier. 
Thank you!

If you have not submitted a log for the SSB CQ WW please do not be 
intimidated by Carbillo, we will help you out if you need help. By submitting 
your log no matter how small (we have already received logs with 1 and 2 
QSO's), you will make the CQ WW better for everyone.

The CQ WW CW records have been updated through 2001.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] 2002 ARRL SS Phone contest
Message-ID: <001901c289dd$1147efa0$0100a8c0@joe>

Greetings all,

I will once again be authoring the writeup for next weekend's contest for
QST. There won't be line scores but there will be more space for story and
pictures. I need your help.

I'll be up to my elbows in SS myself, and the Gulfstream II is in the shop,
so I won't be able to fly around collecting photos. So please try to keep in
mind that every good magazine article needs some good pictures to go with
it. If you have a digital camera, or a means to digitize photos, please try
to have someone take some snaps. (Multiops, especially, should have no
trouble finding someone to press the shutter release.)

Here's what I'd like:
1. Candid photos of humorous situtations during the contest or during set-up
or take-down periods. It would be great if these were situations aside from
obvious op-at-radio shots.
2. Portrait-like photos: if you have a sneaking suspicion you're in Top 10
in any category, please try to have a photo of yourself, perhaps in all your
post-contest, unshaven (or otherwise depending on gender), stressed-out
glory, smiling into the camera with the station used in the background.
3. Artsy photos: close-up of your FT1000 Mk V tuning knob and readout;
time-delay exposure of your aluminum farm with the stars moving across the
sky; etc. Be creative. Please, only those radios or antenna farms used for
SS, but arsty pics need not be taken during the contest.

Technical specs: publishing electronic photos to magazine-like quality
requires considerable resolution. But the details aren't that complicated.

Resolution: 300 dpi
Size: eight inches on the long side.
File size: should be about 600 kB or larger. (Don't hesitate to send larger
files.)

E-mail your photos to my work address: kelly.taylor@freepress.mb.ca

I will likely get more pix than I need, so I will offer what I don't send to
QST to contesting.com, if they would like them.

73, kelly

It was more of a general statement to everyone to submit a log ... even 
if it's just a checklog.

For more reading on log checking, UBN reports, and how uniques are 
handled, check out http://www.cqww.com/ubn-nil.html

Might be "old news" to some ... but might help others.

Hi Richard,

I'm using a USB-> Serial adapter. I got it from the local
PC dealer. I can't tell you exactly the brand, but it
wasn't a popular company.

The adapter is working great. I'm using it for radio
controlling (TS850 or FT1000) with my notebook.

Even CW Out in comination with writelog is working
great on the serial adapter.

Zoli, HA1AG is describing on his webpage at QSL.NET
a PCMCIA controller which supplies you 4 (!) serial
Ports for quite a good prize ( I believe it was less
than $50). But I couldn't find a german dealer
who's selling the adapter.

My experience:

Bad calls that are not sometimes get removed from your log.  I have QSLs & even
a copy of the license of one station which had been deemed to be bad calls in
CQ WW.

Do not hesitate to approach CQ WW committee about such calls.  They are
reasonable.  However, expect them to put some extra effort to turn other Us 
into
Bs as a result of your effort to convince them that some Bs were Us - end 
result: not
worth the effort.

Uniques _are_ removed from CQ WW RTTY logs.

Since RTTY isn't a "real" mode, this should not worry most here.

I really don't understand why the RTTY log checkers think that they're in their
own little world when it comes to log checking.  Witness the fiasco about
marking QSOs with UA9S stations as invalid when the UA9S sent Zone 17 instead
of Zone 16 which is what the log checking software expected.  *EVEN THOUGH
EVERYONE COPIED THE SAME ZONE FROM HIM!*

I don't understand why they can't look outside of their opaque bubble and learn
how these problems are dealt with in the real world.

That doesn't seem like a fair application of the process.  Is this 
what CQ says, or is it supposition based on human nature, i.e. "Oh 
yeah, I'll show him"?

That's been my experience with trying to reason with them over the 
log-checking process.

Well - which is more fair?

1. A non-automated process applied unevenly to a few logs. (This is the
old method of log checking before about 12 years ago).

2. An automated process that is evenly applied to all logs without any 
special consideration given to any log.

3. An automated process applied to all logs, and a few of them get special
consideration where each possible questionable judgement is challenged
without any possibility of an equal amount of attention given to possible
errors that could result in the score being reduced?

Most log checking processes I know of will default to give credit unless some 
criteria for busting the QSO is met.  The criteria should be sufficient to have
a high degree of confidence that a call is wrong.  In some cases, the wrong
decision might be made (when some number of improbable events line up). 

However, it should be even more likely that there will be callsigns that are
really bad - but the checking process was unable to determine what the bad
callsign was...  and therefore it was counted as a good QSO with a unique 
callsign.  Some manual work on the part of the log checker can probably 
figure out what the busted call is - but they don't have time to do this
for all logs - so it gets done for none (except maybe for a pair of logs
that are very close in the results).

For example, in the ARRL DX contest - the log checking really stinks.  I 
would estimate that only about 25 percent of errors made are detected by
the program.  Also, maybe one out of 100 of the bad calls is really good...
so the process isn't perfect.  However, I would argue that it is effective.

Trying to improve the error detection in the ARRL contest will result
in a significant increase in the false bust rate - which I think would
be too high to defend.  

I think that applying this process to all logs - without special consideration
is the most fair way to use it.  When someone comes up with a case where
the wrong decision was made...  I will look to see if a process change can
be made to address that specific case - which can then be used to re-run all
of the logs.

I think the important point to take away from this is that the first objective
of the log checking process is to make sure the order of finish is correct.
In other words, that the right person is winning the contest.  I think having
a totally defendable 100 percent correct log checking report is not the goal.

In the NBA - no ref gets all of the calls right.  However, they tend to get 
most of them right and the errors tend to average out (and this coming from a 
Portland Trailblazer fan no less).

It wouldn't be fair to let one of the teams challenge each call that goes
against them without the other team having the same opportunity.

As far as AA4GA's comment about log checkers not being willing to work
with him - I would sure like to know which contest that was for??  CQ WW?
What specifically was the problem?  I don't believe this is the normal
experience for people who approach them.

Forgot all about UA9S - I should check these things more closely, but when 
I see
a mainland China zone 23 contact in my log thrown out because I logged what the
station sent & that station sent the correct zone as bits of mainland China are
indeed in zone 23, I need not look further.

Obviously, official calls are not available for some countries.
However, the US, JA, and most of Eu do have official databases.

Just taking the US alone, I can download the latest FCC database,
filter it to remove some calls, and then have a perfectly reliable
database of good US calls. Now, reverse engineer it, and you have a
database of calls which are not issued. Run every US call in the logs
against this database, and you have a clear idea of "busts".

If you limited the database to 4 and 5 letter calls, it's even more
ridiculously simple.

Yes, it was CQWW.

> What specifically was the problem?  

I've discussed the situation several times here on the reflector, but 
Tree must not have noticed...besides having a life, he's been 
teaching computers how to compare logs.

Basically, I had a multiplier removed because the other station 
failed to log a QSO.

> I don't believe this is the normal experience for people who approach

It was in this case.

Tree has, however, assured me that the log-checking procedures have 
been changed such that in a similar circumstance today, the 
multiplier would not be removed from my log.

That does show progress.  Further progress would include penalties 
for the offending station.  

The CQWW log-checkers don't claim 100% accuracy.  They're too smart 
to do that.  *I* certainly don't have the answer.  I do know that it 
doesn't sit well with me when I'm on the receiving end of an 
"acceptable" injustice.

First, I'm not sure how/why any RTTY log checking should be of any interest
to some of those subscribed to "this here" reflector, as you have so stated
so well, "RTTY isn't a real mode"! I admire any/all log checkers, and have
very little interest as to how the logs are checked, as long as the same
process is applied to all logs! I believe that is being done! I'm sure there
is "room for improvement", just as I'm sure that "improvement" will come?
Much of the "gnashing of teeth" comes from some that have indicated, more
than once, "contesting should be fun"? Just remember: "those that make you
angry, have control over you"!
My contesting theory: 1) Operate as much as I care to, 2) Have fun, 3) Send
in my log, unedited, 4) Trust the log checkers, 5) Get ready for the next
one!
C'Ya, Shelby

My experience with the CQWW guys agrees with Tree's assessment.  They were
polite and willing to explain in detail what had happened.  Perhaps it
depends on how you approach the issues with them.

I walked away from several email exchanges having even more confidence in
their log checking.

Seems to me that what Tree said was that the most important thing is 
uniformity of treatment.

If you lose a mult when you are sure you had a QSO, but the QSO is not in 
the other station's log, then there are a variety of possible explanations 
reflecting culpability on the part of either station .  In CQWW, without 
serial numbers or any variable in the exchange, there's no solid way to 
tell if he didn't log you, or you thought you worked him when he was 
working someone else.

Which log-checking/penalty approach is chosen is always arguable, and can 
evolve from year to year.  It seems to me it's very important that we all 
have a clear expectation of being treated the same at any given time.  That 
way, if the problem is, for example, stations that don't log domestic QSOs 
in CQWW, we can put all sorts of social pressure on them to quit this 
despicable practice.

Not a good idea.  For example ...

Most stations will log me as WD4AHZ ... some log me as WD4ASZ.

WD4AHZ WAS in the contest ... WD4ASZ was not, but is a legitimate call.

Using your method, WD4ASZ would be "good" ... even though it's an 
obvious "bust"?  Is THIS how you want the logs scored?

It's made even worse if I don't send in a log for cross-checking purposes.

  Seems as though a lot of folks don't remember the days
prior to computer logging.
  It was a system that was easily manipulated, since not all
logs were checked.
  I get dinged as well as most others, but it is still a
lot better than it used to be.
  Oh yeah, it's a lot easier to log and submit today than
30-40 years ago!

Not at all. The log checking program in its present form would find
the "bust" when compared against your log, and I commend you for
sending it in. Those who logged WD4ASZ would unfortunately get credit.

But, I think you have missed the point. The purpose I proposed will
not help in the above problem, but ( and I am assuming the following
calls are not issued ), if someone logged you WB4AHZ, and that call is
not issued, they get a bust without any doubt. And there are numerous
other combinations of your call which may or may not be issued.

My suggestion was to make it a 100% certainly that a call which is not
issued, for example my old call in 1955, K4DJC, will generate a
guaranteed bust.

Just for fun, I removed all but the calls from my 2002 SSCW log, and
the wrote a short program which compared my log against the actual
database. It found 2 calls which were not issued. I then checked them
against my Buckmaster CDROM, and on QRZ.com and all 3 confirmed that
no such call had been issued.

And yes, after a couple of friendly arguments with the robot, I had
submitted my log BEFORE i did this.

        For zones 3, 4, and 5, I prefer a twist on the dreaded Field Day "please

Obviously there are a variety of reasons why a QSO would not appear in the
other station's log.  

While I think it's unlikely this reason was what happened to Lee, I can
think of at least one situation where the not-in-log-real-QSO *should* cost
someone a mult..  And yes, I'm about to bring back up a past debate...

Specifically, when someone's running without IDing with reasonable
frequency.

It is of course quite common in some contests to encounter people running
without IDing after every QSO.  When I run across an ending QSO, if I don't
*know* the running station is a dupe, (i.e., they didn't ID) I'll dump in my
call.  If the running station comes back, I say "CALL? 5NN 04".  Usually,
the response is something like "TU DX0XD".  However...

Sometimes the response is simply "TU".  I'll sit around for another QSO
(maybe more if they sent Zone 26<grin>) but if they haven't IDd by then, the
QSO is scratched.  

Now it's very unlikely anybody's going to lose their W or Zone 4 multiplier
that way!  It will show up as a bad QSO in the log-checking process.

And IMHO it should.  You obviously can't have a valid QSO if both operators
don't know each other's callsigns.

There are several things that should be considered when, through one method or 
another, you know for certain that you worked a particular station  but the log 
checking process showed the QSO as a unique, busted call or not in log:

1.  The other guy may have sent his call wrong.

2. There may be a pirate using someone else's call or a fictional call.

3.  Someone may accidentally send someone else's call instead of his.  This is 
possible in some logging programs. (i.e. in CT hit F5 instead of F4)

4. The station that actually came back to you was someone other than the 
station you were calling.  This happens a lot as I have confirmed by replaying 
tapes of QSOs.

5.  You may have typed the other station's call wrong.

6.  The other guy may have typed your call wrong.

7. The other guy may have accidentally erased your call from his log.

8.  You may be depending on a packet spot for the other guy's call and it is 
wrong on the Packet spot.

9.  Gremlins may have invaded your head and you are imagining things.

Remember E equals I times R is not just a good idea.  IT'S THE LAW!!!

If the log checking process declares calls as bad despite my receiving
requests for QSLs from those stations, or because VU3s do not exist, or
seemingly on a hunch (a VS6 portable DU _must_ be dodgy), I & perhaps
others are being docked for perfectly valid Qs.

On the first pass, all Us that were -Bs were identified as such.  To go back
later & decide more Us were in fact -Bs is not only counterproductive (by
discouraging bringing anything up to begin with), but also begs the question
why they weren't called -Bs the first time around.

Dock me for my mistakes.  But docking me for other stuff when there may not
be much room for improvement as I strive to work my way up the CQ WW
Honor Roll isn't on.

Looking forward to seeing if submitting entries with a dozen or two Qs at most
solves this - it should also do wonders about those pesky QSLs.  ;^)

Not deleting uniques, being a bit more cognizant of where bits of the world
are - perhaps even considering what has been developed over the years
for log checking in mainstream contests?

If you are after setting a record or competing at the continental level, you
too might begin to wonder what's the point of struggling to work some
weak guy that may be deleted from your log as he didn't work enough other
stations during the contest....

Otherwise, I agree with Shelby's get-on-&-have-fun approach.

Your idea would give credit for WD4ASZ, and any other "issued" 
combination of my busted call, which I disagree with.

The "current" log checking process, would "ding" WD4ASZ, WB4AHZ, and any 
other combination that cannot be verified (not issued, busted as 
verified by comparing logs, etc.)

I fail to see how your idea would improve log-checking ... it'll allow 
more "bad" QSO's to be counted, which is NOT the point of log-checking.

First, Most uniques stay in the final log.  Only one contest removes uniques
and if you don't like that write or e-mail the sponsor and then if no
results don't work the contest!

Years ago the process was to cross check as many as the checkers had time
and remove dupes that were not removed (when found).   Don N4IN is generally
given credit for identifying uniques and starting to take action.   He would
enter all calls in a file on a TRS-80 and list out by call each unique.
However he did not remove uniques.  He did this for two reasons...1.
Because he had the time 2. Some DX had far more uniques that the rest of the
contestants.  This also gave him a second layer of cross checks.

What the modern log checking has evolved into is two layers of testing...

1.    Cross checking all contacts no matter how large or small the log for
logs received and
        in electronic format.  Having one format such as cabrillo makes this
easy on the                 checkers plus gets the results done faster!

2.    All uniques and busts are then identified and the resulting file for
the contest contains the checked log along with all UBN's.  N or not in log
are removed and penalty applied.
B or busts are identified by fuzzy logic which has been proven to be
accurate.  These are removed as many are dupes.  Uniques are checked and at
least in my checking most are
left are pure uniques but some are marked for review by the log checkers in
the file.  If a log is clean with no exceptions the log is made final.  The
exceptions noted are reviewed by several criteria.  They are good unless
proven bad by the checkers.  The checkers make final changes to the logs and
the final file is made ready for reporting.

What has happened is all the logs are now given equal and fair treatment.
At least in the CQ 160 Contests the final scores are thus more fair and
accurate.  I think the ARRL and the CQ WW contests are the same way.

Now if we can find a way to make sure a log is received.  Every year several
who claim to have send a hand log don't get in and the same for e-logs.
Some e-logs just get lost.  If they are not on archive at the robot or in my
e-mail log files I have no way to know if the contestant sent one.  The
final court is to get a copy of the robot reply with the log number.  Every
year one or two can't show this thus they get left out.

Larry has pointed out a bunch of situations that may result in 
NIL...here are my comments on 'em:

Since the pirate is probably not going to send in a log, it most 
likely wouldn't result in a ding.

> 3.  Someone may accidentally send someone else's call instead of his.

Then the QSO should not be removed from my log.  It is an error of 
the sending station...but similar to #2 in that there probably won't 
be a ding due to no log sent in under the wrong call.

> 4. The station that actually came back to you was someone other than

Yes it does, and probably both stations should be penalized, as the 
QSO was not properly completed.  That's not what happened in my case 
BTW.

> 5.  You may have typed the other station's call wrong. 

If I typed the other station's call wrong, I should get dinged.  But 
my understanding of the software is that it is smart enough to 
determine that that is what happened and righteously removes the QSO 
and assesses the appropriate penalty...assuming it was a fairly 
simple typo.

> 6.  The other guy may have typed your call wrong. 

Then he should get dinged.  Again, I think the software will likely 
flag that.

> 7. The other guy may have accidentally erased your call from his log. 

Then *he* should be penalized, not me.

> 8.  You may be depending on a packet spot for the other guy's call and
> it is wrong on the Packet spot. 

No one should rely on a packet spot to get a callsign.  You should be 
assessed double the normal penalty for logging a call based on a spot 
rather than copying the call....no that couldn't be enforced 
equitably either.

> 9.  Gremlins may have invaded your head and you are imagining things. 

If that's the case, then I should be dinged.  While that may happen, 
in my situation, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case.

So there are lots of situations where it's not so cut-and-dried.  
Yet, with a "rule" that says if you're NOL you're automatically SOL, 
in some cases the offending station is not penalized, and the 
innocent party is.

That's why I don't like it.  Plus, it happened to me.

Oh well...that's just the way it is.

If it is truly unique it probably won't be.  You win on this one, or at
least break even.

A fictional call, as in one that is not issued at all, will be a b- and
be removed with penalty.  If the call does exist but is not someone in
the contest again you probably break even and get the qso.  If they
happen to pick someone's call they just heard up the band in the
contest, and that participant doesn't work you so you are in their log,
again you lose with a nil that gets removed with penalty.

again, if this is actually the call of another participant who sends in
a log and you don't really work them, you lose with a nil and penalty.
If it's a call of someone who doesn't send in a log then you break even
and get the qso.

If the station that came back to you got your call and report, even
though you meant it for someone else and they log it, they will lose
because they are not in your log.  However if you accept their response
instead of the real station you were calling you will lose also as you
will log the exchange for a station you don't work so you are nil...  if
there is any doubt that the right station came back to you, you can try
to straighten it out by sending the call of the station you thought you
were calling before you send a report so the respondents know who it is
meant for.... or just call the station you really wanted to work again
and ignore the other guy... or work the other guy and then try to work
the one you really wanted again.... too many options here.

Simple typos (one letter off type of things) will be matched up so the
other guy doesn't lose credit when his log is checked against yours.
You could still lose credit if the call in your log ends up as bad or
nil.

Again, if he is close enough for the software to figure it out you will
get credit but he may lose.

Oh well, in this case you lose due to no fault of your own.  Not much
that can be done with this one.

I'll agree on this... always be sure you copy the other guys call,

"Oh well" is right.  As long as they administer the same rules to all
the logs hopefully it all evens out in the end.

On a slightly different vein...
Personally I don't like the way the cqww rtty logs get processed
differently than other cqww logs.  But after all it is a more demanding
mode that when done properly should result in fewer errors in the logs,
so it kind of makes sense to hold it to a higher standard.  I do believe
the zone discrepancy problem they had last year will be fixed in the
checking process this year.  And I hope they find some better way to
deal with 'uniques', there are always those 'nice guys' who get on and
work one or two of their friends and then go watch football because they
don't like contests... they should not cause their friends to be
penalized.

How do you propose the log checking computers detect this?

If the bootlegger were using the call of a station who was in the 
contest and who sent in a log, you'd get dinged.  Again, how would the 
log checkers ever detect what happened?

Like #1 and #2, the log checkers have no way to know this.

Do I need to say it again?  ;-) The log checking computer has no way to 
know this!  And, as with #1, #2, and #3,  without a tape recording, no 
one would.

This happens to EVERYONE.  That's sort of the point - blindly equal treatment 
of all.

Exactly.  There is no way to know this, yet the credit is removed 
blindly.  You are guilty if you can't prove yourself innocent.

> of all.

<SIGH> I really don't understand how people can be so accepting of a 
process that penalizes them, while not penalizing the offending 
party, justified by "every one is treated the same way".

It's pretty obvious I'm one of the few who is offended by this.  Like 
I said before.  Oh well.  I'm still not happy with it, but there's 
nothing I can do about it.

Interesting thing about ARRL contests is this: none of these situations is
relevant.

Not entirely sure how detailed CQ rules are on this issue, but ARRL rules
provide no allowance for anything but the correct sending, receiving and
logging of callsigns and exchange information by both sides. If one side
fails, the letter of the rules state that both sides lose the contact. Now,
to be sure, the rules are not applied that stringently (if he busts your
exchange, you keep your Q, he loses his), but it IS what they say.

So if the other guy sends his call wrong, and you therefore copy the wrong
call correctly, the log checkers have only the rules to fall back on. They
don't know if you busted the copy or he busted the sending simply because
the rules do not provide for fault.

I would encourage anyone who doubts this to read the rules, ARRL General
Rules for HF Contests.  (Sec. 3.1, I believe.) You will not find anywhere in
those rules "...except for when one station sends the wrong call."

Computerized log checking simply applies the log-checking goal that has
ALWAYS existed to all logs, not just a select few. That goal is to ensure to
the best ability possible that the order of finishes is correct.

Log checking had far more warts in the pre-computer days than today. We just
didn't hear about them.

There are several things that should be considered when, through one method
or another, you know for certain that you worked a particular station  but
the log checking process showed the QSO as a unique, busted call or not in
log:

1.  The other guy may have sent his call wrong.

2. There may be a pirate using someone else's call or a fictional call.

3.  Someone may accidentally send someone else's call instead of his.  This
is possible in some logging programs. (i.e. in CT hit F5 instead of F4)

4. The station that actually came back to you was someone other than the
station you were calling.  This happens a lot as I have confirmed by
replaying tapes of QSOs.

5.  You may have typed the other station's call wrong.

6.  The other guy may have typed your call wrong.

7. The other guy may have accidentally erased your call from his log.

8.  You may be depending on a packet spot for the other guy's call and it is
wrong on the Packet spot.

9.  Gremlins may have invaded your head and you are imagining things.

Remember E equals I times R is not just a good idea.  IT'S THE LAW!!!

I'm going to have to disagree with Mark here.  Both CT and NA are
notorious for sending the wrong QSO number by 1.  TRLog probably
shares this characteristic.  This is especially true in multi-operator
situations such as my operation at N6VR in last week's SS CW.  But
even when operating as a single operator there are numerous scenarios
where CT and NA will send the wrong QSO number.  Automatically
penalizing either the receiving station or the transmitting station
for this would contribute nothing that advances the purposes that log
checking was intended for... It might, perhaps, automatically penalize
operators that use computers for logging or automatically penalize
multioperator stations.  I really don't believe this would contribute
to the contesting art.

Apparently, you would have every single NIL count as a valid QSO.

So why do log checking at all?

Uh, probably?  Perhaps it is a matter of opinion or perhaps it is
quantifiable.  I don't believe TRlog shares this characteristic.  I believe
TRlog is smarter than CT and NA and has been designed to minimize this
problem.

It would be interesting to me to know if anyone who checks their errors
against tape can say "oh yes, 19% of my errors are caused by this."  It
would then be interesting to compare this statistic to the software being
used to log.

Contesters,

I just program 2 message keys (TR) for # and # - 1, for fills.  All you 
have to do is remember whether you are S&P (# - !) or running (#).

If there is a better way to do this, someone please tell me.

Ron,
If you set AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT = TRUE (default is false) (this is 
available in the CtrlJ menu).....
[From the manual]
If you have programmed a S&P exchange that includes a QSO number, you might 
find yourself in the following situation: You have just logged a station, who 
is now asking for your report again. If you press F2, you will send the next 
QSO number, which will be one more than the one you sent the first time. To 
fix this problem, if you set AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT to TRUE and press F2 
when both the call and exchange windows are empty, the QSO number will be 
reduced by one.

Hope this helps.

I understand that one of the major contests' log-checkers are planning to 
test the "time machine" devices that were demoed at Dayton last year (I've 
lost the URL).  These gadgets record 80 kHz of any band, 6 hours at a time, 
on video tape, complete with timestamps.  Playback is through a receiver.

At least in theory, this technology would enable after-the-fact checking of 
every QSO.  I can see doing this in a situation where log checking decides 
the #1/#2 in a contest, but it seems to me that it would be way too 
time-consuming for much broader use.  I still think that treating all 
entrants the same, regardless of the details of the rules in a particular 
contest, is fundamental to a perception of fairness.  In that respect, the 
computer log-checking currently practiced by CQ and the ARRL remains the 
gold standard.

You don't even have to remember -- program the appropriate function key 
(CQF1 or S&PF1, for example), and the program will send the right one, 
depending on the mode it's in.

Hmmm...  I wouldn't be too quick to include TRLog with the other two 
logging programs. I have only operated multi-2 once and single op the rest 
of the time with TRLog but my UBN reports have NEVER shown a busted serial 
number by + or - 1 from the other station.

At any rate, if your station is spewing out erroneous serial numbers 
someone should be penalized; perhaps the software author? :-)

Yep.

AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT = TRUE

It's a beautiful thing.  Completely eliminates the problem of sending a
QSO number that's "off by one", and doesn't require the operator to think
about which button to push or, Heaven forbid, have to send something
manually.

As far as I know, Tree didn't patent this brilliant feature, so I wish the
other software writers would consider adopting a similar approach.

Quacks
I use NA and the only time that I've had a problem with the SN sent is when I 
hit the enter key before I have confirmed that proper SN has been recieved.  
when this happens it is necessary to make sure that the QSO under the cursor is 
the correct one, then NA sends the correct QSO SN.  I try and most of the time 
make sure that the correct SN has been sent.

I do operate 99.999% of the time with only 1 tx and Rx.  I suspect that some 
ops don't know how to use the software they have.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Log Checking - you guys are right
Message-ID: <3DD3745D.9649.452B21@localhost>

Based on all the traffic on the reflector and the private email I've 
been getting from many different folks, I have been convinced.  

Yes, I am missing the big picture, and the only way any of us should 
put any faith in the contest results is by having the logs checked as 
fully as possible.

If you're NIL, you should lose the QSO without exception.  It doesn't 
matter if you have audio tape or QSLs or notarized affadavits from 
the other station - the workload for the log checkers would be much 
too heavy to investigate the bad Qs.  If it was really a good QSO 
you're getting dinged for, well tough.

I think it should be taken farther though...if we're in for penny we 
should be in for a pound (isn't that the old saying?).  I'm saying 
don't do it halfway.  If you have any unique callsigns in your log at 
all, they should be removed unless the station with whom you are 
claiming credit sends in a log to corroborate the QSO.  After all, 
that's what precipitated this whole discussion.

We have software developed by the log checkers that can pretty much 
reconstruct a log for a station that does not send one in (for 
contests with meaningful exchanges of information - particularly a 
serial number)...with enough accuracy to prove whether or not a 
claimed QSO with the non-entering station is valid.  

Otherwise, I would suggest that if the other station does not send in 
a log, the credit should not be allowed for the QSO, because it is 
impossible to verify that such a QSO actually took place.  I think 
this should be implemented anyway for contests with no meaningful 
exchange, such as CQWW.

These changes are easy to do within the log-checking framework we 
have now.  It's actually somewhat easier, in that there would be no 
human intervention required to determine if Us should be converted to 
Bs.  The only thing to add would be a small routine to delete all 
calls for which there was no log submitted.  That should be pretty 
easy.

To do less is to lessen the integrity of the results.  Each and every 
QSO must be verified in some way or it should not count.  Anything 
less is indefensible.  

I have seen the light.

Message-ID: <00ba01c28bfa$9132b6e0$27d7fea9@mirage>

All the discussion about log checking and what transgressions shalt be dinged 
has omitted one aspect of the sport which I maintain is unique and should 
strongly color its adjudication.  Radio contesting consists of cooperative 
interactions between the participants.  It is not all of us shooting at 
individual targets or knocking each other down (well, mostly) or running ahead 
of everyone else.  The winners are the ones that have the most successful 
two-way exchanges of information with other participants.

Because of the two-way requirement, judging must be based on the satisfaction 
of that requirement by BOTH parties.  While you may bemoan the occasional 
incompetence of the other participant, that does not affect the requirement to 
complete and record a valid interaction.  In fact, this goes back to the 
original intent of contests as ways of enhancing communications skills of all 
involved.  

All of the scenarios put forth over the past couple of days, even though blame 
may not lie with the party which is ultimately penalized, are examples of a 
failure to complete the valid two-way exchange of information.

This does add an element of strategy in that I need to judge whether I am 
likely to have a valid exchange with someone that calls.  We have all told a 
very weak caller, "Later", when it becomes clear that we are unlikely to be 
able to copy their information.  If someone calls in using their new 
Vibro-Bugamatic and can't send the letter "E" correctly twice in a row, then I 
will probably not log or their QSO or log it with zero points.  The balance 
must be struck between risk of penalty and the desire for additional points - 
that's why we don't just blow off everyone that isn't Q5.

It is to the credit of the log checkers that ONLY in cases where it is clearly 
demonstrable that the QSO was invalid with a high degree of probability is 
credit removed for the QSO.  It is completely true that the penalty is not 
always assessed in strict compliance with the proportion of blame - just like 
in real life. (one of which we should all attempt to get)  It is also 
completely true that these methods are applied equally to all competitive 
entries and that the results are neither secret nor unchallengeable.  If a 
better methodology can be demonstrated that can be acheived with the limited 
resources available, then I think it would be considered.  Until then, the 
present methods are, as has been pointed out, the gold standard.

This reminds me of a great George Carlin-ism - "Isn't it amazing that everyone 
that drives faster than you is an idiot and everyone that drives slower is a 
moron?"

Interesting.

2001 SS CW Contest netted 1301 logs (eyeball count -- I may be off a couple)

Based on the above:

K5ZD, with 1300 Q's, worked "everyone."

But, then, the following worked more:

In the ongoing discussion about sending the serial number off by one and
getting in trouble, several other guys have done a good job of showing how
powerful and flexible TRlog is.  You have your choice of 3:

1. AUTO QSO NUMBER DECREMENT = TRUE

2. #-1

3. Use the paddles wired through your serial port which send code with the
exact speed and weight of the program.  Standard equipment.  One of the nice
things about this, you old timers will remember you could stop your
electronic memory keyer by touching the paddle.  TR works this way.

But no matter what you use to make code, are we questioning whether it is or
is not the sender's responsibility to send the right #$%^ number, for
goodness sake?

I hope we are not questioning this.

I don't think this is a fair characterization at all.  I will not speak for 
CT or TR, but with NA there is a clear, definite logic as to the serial 
number sent:

THE SERIAL NUMBER SENT IS ALWAYS THE NUMBER OF THE QSO THE CURSOR IS ON

The problem comes when you've logged the QSO, and the station at the other 
end wants a repeat.  The correct way to do this is to MOVE BACK TO THAT QSO 
AND PRESS THE KEY TO SEND THE EXCHANGE.  However, some users don't do that 
- they just press the key (on the blank QSO line, since they just logged 
the QSO they are repeating) and hence send one higher than the number they 
should.

The answer to this, some will say, is that if the line is blank the 
previous number should be sent.  This will correct the described condition, 
but creates another.

Suppose you QRZ, and somebody dumps the call back fast and you can't get it 
entered; you send the call on the paddle then press the key to send the 
exchange.  To use another example from WPX or most any contest other than 
SS with serial numbers: you dump your call in a pileup, but you don't know 
the other station's call yet; he sends the exchange, you hit the key to 
reply with your exchange; on his QRZ you get his call and log the QSO.

Many years ago NA used to "send the previous number on a blank line", but 
we found it to be a problem.  The "always send the number the cursor is on" 
is certain, and experience has proven it to be less troublesome.  Other, 
"fuzzy logic" algorithms which guess at which the operator intends creates 
uncertainty and, I would argue, more errors.

My reason for using the bandwidth for this explanation is to make the point 
that NA (or CT or TR) are not *notorious* for sending wrong numbers.  As 
long as a certain set of keystrokes produces the correct result, the fault 
is operator error.  One can argue that a particular set of keystrokes might 
not be "user friendly", but that is a different discussion.

It's certainly not hard to come up with situations where someone is
wrongfully penalized a QSO or two and maybe even a mult.  I suppose if
someone disliked me badly enough they could open "w9wi@hotmail.com", do a
search-and-replace on his previous year's Cabrillo file to change his
callsign to mine, send it to "sscw@arrl.org", and get me DQ'd.  Maybe N1ND
needs to start requiring one to submit one's membership control number with
one's entry so that they know it's really W9WI submitting that log?

(No, I'm *not* serious!)

The only way to be absolutely certain you never wrongly delete a QSO is to
never delete a QSO.  At which point the scores even less reflect the actual
efforts.

There isn't $100,000 riding on the results of Phone SS.  Log checking isn't
perfect.  It's awfully good, and it's a whole lot better than it was a few
years ago.

And I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with Leigh.  In this situation, the
transmitting operator should be penalized.  (yes, I realize it's the
*receiving* op who *will* be penalized)  

You're responsible for the operation of your station.  If your rig doesn't
refuse to transmit on 14.355, it's not Yaesu the FCC is going to cite.  You
know, or should know, what serial number your software is sending.  If that
number is wrong, then it's your responsibility to interrupt the computer and
send the *right* number.  

(I don't recall having to interrupt TR at any point during CW SS, except
when I typed the other guy's call wrong!)

and I always enjoyed George Carlin's reason for not getting to mass on
Sunday: "and the chaplain goes into a coma and you're on a ship at
sea... But then, you cross the International Date Line!"

I usually just lurk here but this discussion is getting to be a bit
much.  All of these scenarios are statistically in the noise.  If
everyone is treated the same, as Mike said, the system "gets" everyone
equally.

It reminds me of an anecdote I heard recently, where a guy's parents had
just retired.  His dad was an accountant and just a bit, shall we say,
"meticulous" (read: anal), his mom was the artistic type (read:
disorganised and/or sloppy).  When his dad retired, he started looking
at the family checkbook, which mom had been keeping for years, and was
shocked to find that she never entered the cents, only the dollar
amounts.  After spending the better part of a month straightening out
the register, the total error was around 15 cents.  I suppose there
could be several morals to this story, but the obvious one is that some
things are not worth the effort.  It's only if results are REALLY close
where it's going to matter.

Of course not - the problem is detecting of when the sender screwed up.

If it's true that log checking really allows +/- 1 in the serial number 
(though I think +1 is enough) it is obviously in an effort to placate 
those who would complain (and rightfully so) that they "copied what was 
sent", yet were dinged because the sender screwed up.

This is another example of the log checking going out of its way to try 
to avoid penalizing the wrong party.  The fact that it also allows 
sloppy receiving to sneak through as well is unfortunate collateral 
damage.

Being a software developer myself I can easily understand how Dave
feels and thinks right now.  He's convinced that there's no way his
software can make this mistake.  And if I'd tested the NA software
before a contest and used it only in the most cosmetic of
circumstances I'd be in total agreement with Dave right now.  But I've
now used NA and CT in multioperator and single operator circumstances
over a decade and I'll still stand by my statement.  At W6EEN I've
done multioperator phone contests where a QSO number was send
"manually" by vocal chords with the two operators on the two bands
were touching elbows and there were still unrecoverable errors in
sending the proper numbers that could not be written off as operator
errors.

Dave, you should have been at W6EEN when we fired up NA 10.x for the
phone SS two years ago for 9 QSOs before we discovered that QSOs
logged on one of the two computers were being completely forgotten,
leaving only the QSOs from the other rig in the log.  We had to take a
half hour break in the first hour of the phone SS to load older
versions of NA to fix that.  4-5 guys are not in our log, even though
we clearly contacted them.

I've never been at a multioperator (networked) contest where there
weren't about 50 reboots of the computers.

Here's a scenario:

Rig #1 transmits CQSS W6UE (off) (Rig #2 finds K8CC CQing)
Rig #2 transmits K8CC de W6UE (off) (Rig #1 listens, hears K0RF
calling him)
Rig #1 transmits K0RF nr1MW6UE22LAX (off) (Rig #2 listens, hears "W6UE
nr1MK8CC64MI")
Rig #2 transmits K8CC nr1MW6UE22LAX (insert key!) (Rig #1 hears "W6UE
nr4MK0RF62CO")
Both rigs log exchanges and press enter.  One of the two QSO's goes
into the QSO#2 slot.

In multioperator situations it's impossible for the operators to know
which one of them has to send QSO #2 and which one of them has to send
QSO #1.  They only know that the octopus lets them transmit.  Without
the QSO# +/- 1 log checking rule one of the two first contacts will be
deducted from someone's log, and it wouldn't be W6UE's loss.

I hear a lot of guys with experience in antiseptic operating
environments talking about this issue as if it weren't their problem.
The trouble is that the receiving station is in danger of loosing a
contact whenever the transmitting station sends the wrong info.  I'm
sure that log checkers like Tree came up with the "QSO number +/- 1"
rule after the hard experience of putting their own logs through
automated log checking only to learn that a high percentage of
stations send the wrong contact number.

The "QSO number +/- 1" version of log checking rules was under attack,
and I'm willing to defend the practice.  That, after all, is what I'm
writing about.  I'm not attacking the software vendors.

Dave,
Glad you answered this. I have used all three and all ya gotta do is hit

If I understand all of the nuances of loosing points due to
the other guy, if I don't send in my log, I can never hurt
the score of anyone else.

If I've been casually contesting, worked a few hundred,
not being careful with accurate logging, just giving out
QSOs, maybe even with repeated or skipped QSO numbers,
maybe not logging all QSOs, isn't it in all serious 
contestors best interest for me to keep my sloppy log
and not to submit it for log checking?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Contest announcements in QST
Message-ID: <20021115000705.80634.qmail@web40709.mail.yahoo.com>

Got my new QST the other day, and see that they have
removed contest rules and placed them on the internet
instead.  Guess I also saw this in the November issue,
but it really stood out in the most recent one.  In
the contest rules place, they have put "contest
announcements".  These contest announcements basically
describe the gist of the contest, and in my opinion,
they look like they are written for an 8 year old. 
They have little cutsy "Why you should enter this
contest" and "Quirks" sections.  I hope that things
haven't degraded so far that we have to use this type
of language to explain things to hams.  Just put the
rules back in and get away from the touchy feely
stuff.

They figure we are smart enough to go to the web to
read contest announcements, but not smart enough to
figure out why I should enter a contest.  Have you
ever noticed that every time QST takes something out
(contest scores, rules, section news) it usually gets
replaced with something that looks like it was written
for complete idiots.  Witness the "Doctor is in"
column.  I hope these are not real questions sent in
by readers.  If most of them are, the FCC definitely
need to think about toughening the licensing
requirements.

What's wrong with the CW operator sending CW now & then to manually correct
repeats?  That way, the number sequence is never impacted.  After all, we
are not robots.....or, are we?

Actually, that's not quite right.  In fact, not sending in a log is
one of the ways that
you can hurt the scores of those that you contact.  This is especially
true if you only
made a dozen or so contacts.  Perhaps the last thing you'd want to do
in today's
log checking environment is to come on the air from a rare multiplier
and work only
one or two of your buddies, then fail to send in a log.  Your buddies
will log you,
and when they hear an immense pile up on a guy operating from your
rare multiplier
they will happily tune away knowing they've already worked it.  Then
the log
checkers disallow your contact because it is a "unique" and your
friends lose out
big.

Greetings.


The Northern California Contest Club again sponsors its popular mini-Phone SS 
pre-contest event on Friday night at 2100 PST (0500Z Saturday).

SS Contesters from throughout the 80 ARRL Sections are welcome to participate 
on 
frequencies in the vicinity of 3850 on 75 meters and 7240 on 40 meters for 
20-minutes following the 2100 PST start.

Consider using the NCCC mini-SS to carry out last minute equipment, software 
and 
antenna checks, or to simply renew your possibly cob-webbed familiarity with 
the 
contest exchange.

All are welcome to join NCCC members on 3830 at 2120 to report scores and 
discuss contest matters.

We look forward to seeing you.

Hi,
I am contest manager for the Finnish Radio Relay
League, SRAL, and I am following this ARRL approach
of trying to lure newcomers to contesting.

I will likely try something similar, time will tell.

But truth is we need more contesters.

I would like to have more stations making close to
mid-range scores, not trying to let things fall
like they seem.

More and more people are on for just an hour or less
and that is not really satisfactory for contests.

How to improve that, I do not know.


One fact I have found is the contesters participating
actively are not the target group for these attempts
of trying to lure newcomers.
I believe already contesting individuals will accept
this point in some time.
A change is in process and changes are seldom easy.

The change in the magazine and overall information
sharing structure has to be done somehow to get the
main goal achieved.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Changes in QST
Message-ID: <004801c28cac$b097d800$0100a8c0@joe>

Hi all,

My feeling is that the changes in QST are not designed to cater to us.

Is that a bad thing? I do not believe it is, for several reasons. How many
of us after 20 years of SS or more still need to look at the same set of
rules? Moreover, how many of us on this reflector, having proven ourselves
duly capable of Internet navigation, can't go to the ARRL site for a
refresher should we need one?

Has QST dumbed down? I'd hardly consider a treatise on PIC programming
"dumbing down." Is QST attempting to bring new contesters into SS, DX, etc?
I sure as hell hope so.

Will the status quo of running just the rules do that? Not in a million
sunspot cycles. WE get the information we need from the running of rules,
but potential newbies skip right past. I think things like "Why you should
operate this contest?" are great. Bravo.

It's the same with the post-contest writeups. Page after page of grey will
not help sell contesting. Well-written contest reports with humour and
anecdotes play much better into the hands of people who could take or leave
contest reports. Those are the people QST needs to reach.

We can find what we need ourselves easily enough that we don't need QST to
hand it to us on a silver platter. That we can access that information via
an excellent Web-based database (thanks to N5KO and others) means we can get
more information than we could ever have dreamed possible in QST.

The way QST used to print results and announcements served us and largely us
alone. Well, we're coming back year after year anyway. We don't need a sales
job. We do, however, need to bring more people into contesting. I not only
accept the changes in QST, I celebrate them. Others should too.

QST is not, in my view, turning its back on contesters. QST is, however,
asking us to put our egos aside for the greater good. Are we big enough for
that?

If the fault in creating a busted call in your log is the other guy's, why 
should you be penalized 3 QSOs?
Wouldn't it be fairer in the case of busted calls to simply delete the credit 
for the busted from your log?

Also, since the QSO was NOT a two way exchange, shouldn't it be deleted from 
the other station's log, too?

In the case of a "not in log" situation, however, the penalty should stay at 
three QSO's removed since this 
could conceivably be a case of claiming the QSO in hopes that the other station 
doesn't send in his log and
it will not be counted against the station claiming the QSO? 

If you really wanted to get nasty, if the claimed NIL QSO was a multiplier, 
penalized the offense by removing three multipliers!

I strongly agree with the people who have said that contesting is about making 
valid two way QSOs. 
If it is not two way it is not a QSO on the part of either station. 
The most important part of the exchange is the callsigns of both the stations.

In SS the exchange is equally important.  How about the ultimate in nastiness 
and assessing a penalty for each miscopied element of the exchange: 
3 QSOs for the callsign wrong and 1 QSO for each error in number, precedence, 
check or section?

BTW since I am in zone 4 but CT always shows me as being in zone 3 should I be 
penalized each time the other station has me as zone 3 in his log?
He should be, since I always send the 04 and if he doesn't catch it that is his 
fault.

I wonder if our esteemed log checkers could see how many times the wrong zone 
is shown in DX logs for some recent contests.

I disagree.  If you have contest programs that do not perform properly
either because of them, or poor operator use, your contact should not count
(for receive or transmit).

It is the responsibility of ALL to get it all right (including the
checkers).  Sloppy stuff and operation should not be accepted.  I have seen
a lot of ops just keep going even when they know contact info is wrong.
This should not be accepted when detected.

It takes time and effort to get proper contacts.  Those who take that time
and effort to get it right should not be allowed to be beaten by those that
don't. 

I agree with Mark, N5OT.

Sorry.

It's so.

Don't blame W3FRC (the contest's Special Event Bonus Station from the
Franklin Radio Club).

This is a choice made by the Pa QSO Party Committee, aka the Nittany ARC
Board of Directors.   Take it up with them.  Please.  I got about 2 dozen
emails from DX and West Coast hams complaining of this after the contest
(why me?  Because I posted the info about the contest here as a favor to
this year's PaQP chairman, so those kvetching assumed I am on the PaQP
Committee, which I AM NOT.  But, as they say, no good deed goes
unpunished...)

FWIW, there are a lot of us participants in the contest who hope that this
will change, and soon.  I was hoping to find a way to help them
electronically process logs, but those I contacted told me that for very
good reasons they declined the opportunity.

Pa QSO Party logs must be postmarked TODAY (11/15).  If you can't make the
deadline, go to the Nittany ARC web site, get the email address of the
chairman (I don't have it handy right now) and ask him for an extension.
Sorry, that's the best I can do for you.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Serial numbers off by one in SS
Message-ID: <20021115213326.GC31949@kkn.net>

I guess I haven't made this statement before (since it doesn't seem to be
general knowledge):

In the SS (and sprints) - if a received QSO number is off by one - it is 
not dinged as being wrong.  This practice was started in the CW Sprints
when I wrote the log checking software for it and was inherited by the SS
programs that were written afterwards.

There were just too many times where the error was caused by the sending 
station.  Since we haven't yet entered the age where a busted QSO is
removed from both logs - it didn't seem fair to put the full burden 
of off by ones on the receiving station.  Pretty hard to believe someone
copied "200" instead of "199".

There have been times when it was obvious that the sending station was
out of sync by more than one QSO for an extended length of time.  When
I see this - I remove the QSOs from the SENDING station - not from the
receiving stations.  This doesn't happen very often, but it is fun for
me when it does (other than being a pain to deal with as an exception).

I probably didn't announce this before, as I didn't want to soften the
image us log checkers enjoy as being hard bottomed, inflexible, robots who
haven't done any thinking about the ramifications of our decisions or
methods.

And, in case is still isn't clear, uniques are not removed in the SS 
unless they are identified as a busted call.  If anyone gets confused
on this point again, I will ask them to write it 100 times on the 
chalkboard.

It could be pointed out that there are VERY FEW real uniques worked
in the SS that aren't identified as bad calls - and most of them
that I see are "second QSOs" given out by "friends".  So - really, it
would probably be a good thing if they were tossed, but in the end, it 
really doesn't matter that much (unless someone's friend gets carried
away as has happnened once or twice in Louisiana and Western PA).

Message-ID: <00a801c28d0a$4f07dd20$3201a8c0@mikehome>

Is it being said here that in the case where a station receives an exchange,
logs it as actually sent, that it be recommended he NOT get credit for the
QSO because the TRANSMITTING station screwed something up?

This is exactly the situation that the log checkers try to avoid.

As far as any weaking of the process, let's not forget that log checking has
done anything BUT weaken the process.  I don't think there's a contester out
there who hasn't rethought the value of asking for repeats.

(This whole +/-1 rule is overblown here.  Note that in most cases of missing
a digit by one, the +/- 1 rule will not help.  Busting 753 to 853 will still
get you dinged.  If someone is cavalier about what he logs, he will get
nailed.)

These attempts at making everything black-and-white are unrealistic.  Log
checking cannot be all-knowing.  It must not be too harsh or cause
unnecessary collateral damage or risk scaring away casual operating, nor can
it afford to be too weak and then judged ineffective.  It cannot "know" what
was really sent, how much power an operator was using, or if plenty of other
mischief occurred.  Log checking is a compromise.

The fact that it was even considered to allow +/-1 is a testament to the
understanding these log checking guys have about the whole thing.  I'll bet
not one in twenty guys on this reflector ever thought of this scenario
(until now).  And suddenly we are now all experts! ;-)

Henry,

I have eight W9XT cards here.  Tying the mic and PTT grounds together will 
not hurt anything, but may cause hum on the transmitted signal.  This is 
usually a radio issue (ICOMs are particularly sensitive to this), but if 
the Omni has a common ground, then it should be OK.

One of the alleged virtues of Amateur Radio is that we are
self-policing.  I have an actual, living, breathing moral
dilemma to pose to contesters in the run-up to the CQ WW CW
contest.

I'm sure we are all pleased to know that there will be a
multi-op on contest-rare Sable Island during the CQ WW CW
this coming weekend.  You can learn more about CY0MM by
visiting their web site, www.dipole.com .

However, you may not be aware of one aspect of this
expedition.  You can find out more at
http://www.sugardelta.com/277sd0/index.html .

My inclination is to consider this combination injurious to
the reputation of this hobby with the radio regulatory
authorities in Canada, who licensed CY0MM.

Where, if anywhere, does self-policing fit in this
situation?  If this is an appropriate circumstance for
self-policing, what form should it take?

Thank you, Kelly.  Guys and gals...please consider which is more likely to 
cause a casual or non-contester to get on and operate...

This year - "Special Interest: Operators will travel to many interesting DX 
locations..."

or 

Last year's - "6.6.4. DXpedition scores may be included in the Medium and 
Unlimited club totals only."

We need to stop breathing our own exhaust and start selling others on what a 
whale of a lot of fun they can be having doing some contesting.  As I posted 
last week - the biggest challenge we have is reaching out to other hams.  This 
is one example of how to do it - by removing dry rules-and-regulations and 
replacing it with a little sizzle.  If you have better ideas for the sizzle, 
then by all means, let's have 'em!!

I don't know the Canadian rules relative to 11M, but I'm sure Riley would have
some interest if this dual-service dxpedition took place on US territory.

One would think if they don't want to process them electronically, they
could just print out the received files?  

I suppose in their defense, you never know what kind of files you're going
to get...  In the TN QSO Party, we ask for "any ASCII text format, Cabrillo
prefered".  Among the 53 e-mailed entries I got three Microsoft Word files,
an Excel spreadsheet, and a NA .QDF file.  

Still...  We only got eight paper logs.  If we had to process the other 53
manually, checking wouldn't be nearly as good as it is.

Is 11 meters allocated as a ham band anywhere in the world?

European Sprint Contest - Autumn SSB -  October 5, 2002
-------------------------------------------------------

The thirty-third EU Sprint has a new winner: Andy, UA2FB, operating
as RW2F who beat Roli, LY2FY, and Ton, ES5TV. Note that both LY2FY
and ES5TV were entering their first ever Eu Sprints! All the top
scorers did a great job on 20m, but 80m was noisy and conditions on
40m were fair.

Participation increased a little due to heavy publicity and the
QSO average per entrant is higher, too. The quality of entries is
increasing: we found relatively few errors. These entrants had
"Golden Logs" with no mistakes at all: EA3FHP, G0MRH, I2CZQ,
IN3FHE, OK1DSA, OM1AW, ON6LY, UT5UGR, and some others
only made one or two errors: congratulations!

Starting on November 1, 2002 the Eu Sprint finally has its own
web page at this address: <www.qsl.net/eusprint>. Here you will find
everything about the Eu Sprint: rules in several languages, results,
prizes and software to download. Please visit the page and help us to
keep it up. We want your articles about the Eu Sprint, share with us
your tactics and secrets!

The UBN will be public and available for everyone on our web page,
just click on a callsign to see the UBN report. If you have any
questions pertaining to the log checking procedure, please don't
hesitate to ask.

Thanks for your entry, 73!

I see that the word is getting around today. Saw some messages from W3UR posted
on the
DX cluster re: the SD0 URL and many comments as well.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I agree with Dave. This kind
of operation, if confirmed, can
only do harm to the Amateur community in general.

I will be following this thread with interest.

"     To prevent further confusion, we would like to make

Dave,

You bring up an interesting dilemna.

First, yes, while amateurs are for the most part self-policing (can't wait
for my next Popkin-gram, I know a young stamp collector who loves his
envelopes), the alleged freeband activity is taking place outside of
allocated amateur frequencies.  So I'm not sure if we should be doing
anything about the actual FB operation itself, so long as it does not use
amateur call signs (and from what I saw on that web site, I don't think it
will).  And this is by no means meant to condone illegal operation!  But if
it's outside the ham bands, it's (to my thinking) outside of our
"jurisdiction."

Second, having said this, I am saddened that one or more of the amateurs is
involved in this type of operation.  And that the other operators are
condoning it (have to be since the equipment listed for the "sugar delta" op
is some of the same amateur gear for the CY0MM DXpedition).

Third, should the actual "sugar delta" part of the operation take place, the
operators will have (in my mind) placed themselves in a poor light with
Industry Canada, and by extension cast the same poor light on the rest of
us.  So we should make our displeasure with this part of the operation known
to the CY0MM folks to discourage future actions of this type -- but NOT on
the air.

Fourth, if this should jeopardize the CY0MM license, it may also jeopardize
the DXCC acceptance of that operation.  Another reason to make our
displeasure known.

Finally... if you hear them during the contest, work 'em.  If they get DQ'd
by the CQ WW committee over this, it will happen after the fact.  That will
be their problem, not ours.

73, ron wn3vaw

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Are contesters self-policing?

One of the alleged virtues of Amateur Radio is that we are
self-policing.  I have an actual, living, breathing moral
dilemma to pose to contesters in the run-up to the CQ WW CW
contest.

I'm sure we are all pleased to know that there will be a
multi-op on contest-rare Sable Island during the CQ WW CW
this coming weekend.  You can learn more about CY0MM by
visiting their web site, www.dipole.com .

However, you may not be aware of one aspect of this
expedition.  You can find out more at
http://www.sugardelta.com/277sd0/index.html .

My inclination is to consider this combination injurious to
the reputation of this hobby with the radio regulatory
authorities in Canada, who licensed CY0MM.

Where, if anywhere, does self-policing fit in this
situation?  If this is an appropriate circumstance for
self-policing, what form should it take?

Hi Art,

It is my opinion that arranging specific schedules such as, "I'll meet you
on 14.005 at 1300Z on the first day" are against the rules if done outside
of the contest.  Of course, setting schedules DURING the contest is fine as
long as they are done over the air (no internet/telephone).

I don't, however, feel that saying something like, "I'll look for you on 20M
in the contest" is against the spirit of the rules, either on the air or via
the internet.

See you next weekend Art :))

Everyone has a story of their one or two uniques that they work every 
year.  Here are the ones I have so far in my SS CW log from W5WMU:

CALLSIGN CHECK RESULTS
----------------------
NG5X is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.
Calls with same check/section: KC5R

W5WU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 3.
Calls with same check/section: W5WZ

This is pretty good - since I don't appear to have any busted
calls (no, W5WZ is a different station than W5WU).

A few years ago, some of the locals got a little carried away, and I had
about a dozen unique QSOs - all from Louisiana.  I have since discouraged
this activity and asked that if they do work me, to also work some
other stations in the contest.

Here is another datapoint (from a top ten high power log):

CALLSIGN CHECK RESULTS
----------------------
K5MR is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.

K2AY is a busted call.  The correct call is K2UY.

NZ5DX is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.

K5NU is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 1.
Calls with same check/section: W5AK W5VX W5UX KG5U

WB2UVV is a busted call.  The correct call is WB2VVV.

Here, it would appear that three "friends" got on to work this guy.
Note that WB2UYV was a unique until it got matched up to WB2VVV.

Then, if we look at a log with poor accuracy:

CALLSIGN CHECK RESULTS

Calls with same check/section: KY5R K4XR

W1PJ is a unique call.  Received QSO# = 269.
Calls with same check/section: K1SM NB1B NK1L

How many of these unique callsigns are really unique?  I would guess
about zero of them.  However, since the exchanges also got mangled
enough, it is not possible for the software to match up the bad
callsigns to the correct ones.  Therefore, unless I go spend a lot
of time manually working on these, the unique QSOs will all count.

So - in my opinion, the price to be paid to count those 2 or
three real uniques in everyone's logs, is that people with poor
accuracy get to count a lot of their QSOs that should be busted.

If one of these guys ends up slightly ahead of you, were you really
better off being able to count that QSO with your Section Manager?

How about is someone has 30 friends get on and all work someone and
nobody else?  Is that really what we are trying to encourage in the 
contest?

In summary, it is very obvious to guys like me who look at all
of this data that the contest would be better off if we just 
tossed uniques in the SS (at least CW).  There just aren't that
many of them - and the results will be more fair.

Maybe someday, public opinion will agree.

on the

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I agree with Dave. This
kind

I will be following this thread with interest.

You asked:

> Can someone explain to me what this SD stuff is?

As near I can figure, these are assumed call signs used by
unlicensed illegal "freeband" operators (those who operate
between the top of the 27MHz CB band and the bottom of 10
metres.

The first digits are a country number.  They use the ARRL
DXCC list, numbering the countries as they appear on that
list.  277 is Sable Island.

The "SD" (there are many other two-letter combinations)
refers to a particular club.  I don't know what, if anything
"SD" stands for.

The final digits are a serial number "identifying" the
individual operator or station.

This 277SD0 is a Sable Island operation by a member of the
"SD" club, and that operation is number "0."

This is just what I infer from my research since this matter
came to my attention yesterday.  I've never been involved in
this "freeband" stuff, or even CB radio, so I may be out of
my depth here.

Even in ASCII land, there are also 3 ASCII line ending conventions:

First: the question.

We had a contact end up as a bad contact.  We know it now, as we worked
the guy AGAIN later on....  Do we trash the "bad" contact (the first Q
with the satation)?  If so, how will this affect log checking?

Now the observations:

I was very impressed with the number of new contesters on the air, and
especially of people having youngsters on the air!  I was even moreso
impressed with the situation that arose when one of our ops wanted to
make the contact with one youngster that was getting clobbered in QRM.
Our op simply said "stations please stand by, im trying to make the
contact with the poor little girl who's getting clobbered in the
pileup"...  The frequency went dead with the exception of our op and the
YL.  We made the contact....  This impressed me, and, after I get some
sleep, I will probably STILL be impressed with this.  

Granted, EEE only had a measly 113000 points and 700 contacts...  We are
happy.

Work dupes, leave them in the log!!!  With the advanced log checking in
existance today, there is really no need for anything else.  No logging
software I know of claims points for dupes anyway.

    This last Phone November SS I worked many place s on 80M. Actually it
was so packed on the 80M band south of 3.850 that it was had to find a home.
One place I stumbled across was 3.793. When I started calling CQ there was
the band police. "DX Window". This station though was not identifing so I
just ignored the crazy man. Though I went onto the web and found that this
small  piece of space from 3.790-3.800 is a DX window. though I myself would
never hear dx there in that small space and being on 20M I could not believe
that that is the only place dx shold be. In my search for the Truth to this
matter. I look at my Operator manual and yes I see this so called "Dx
Winodw" but then I peer up at the top of the page to read on about
The"Considerate operator's Frequency Guide". These few paragraphs go on to
say, "Nothing in the rules recognizes net's groups, or any individuals's
special priviledge to any specific frequency." "No frequect will be assigned
for exclusive use of any station." and finally, "Check to make certain the
frequency is not in use."
    So, I look on to the next page the US Amatuer Bands Bandchat where I see
US Extra hams are allowed phone from 3.750 to 4.000. This covers this small
space. So in conclusion I asked if it was in use  and there was no reply. So
called CQ. I was using it and there was no DX there before me. So, Just
because that maybe it is the "DX Window" we shold all know frst to be there
has the frequency untill it is relenquished.

Folks

I think that this has a great example of self-policing by the Amateur
community. This new technology makes it difficult to stay below the
collective radar! Just Search "Sable Is." on the browser and there were the
two expeditions side by side! The parties were contacted, the illegal
operation has been averted and this Huge Embarrassement has been saved from
being a Huge DXAC, CQWW and Licensing Disaster. I want to thank all the
others that took part in e-mailing and otherwise alerting the boys on Sable
to their dangerous situation.

Self-policing can work!

Indeed ... and the proliferation of multis was where a lot of the new folks 
were apparently.  It was great to work folks with 01 and 02 checks, too.

Let me diverge to an entirely different subject.  I am not a phone 
contester, but get on in SSB SS to make points for my club.  This year, I 
had disposed of my Rigblaster, and had no effective way of coupling 
hum-free audio from my sound card to my 2-radio box, so I was obliged to 
say everything myself.

After an hour or so, I would find myself totally running out of voice -- 
throat getting sore, hoarseness setting in, etc.

Other than recorded audio, are there any special techniques that phone 
contesters use to avoid vocal fatigue?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

IMHO SS is not broken,  The main difference has nothing to do with 10 meters, 
at least not in the east.  I made over 2100 qsos this past weekend and only 
15 of them were on 10 meters.

As I stated before, it has everything to do with the new operators we are 
getting.  As has been posted previously, the large majority of the checks in 
the SS CW were from the 80s and earlier.  In going over the checks I received 
in the SS SSB this weekend, that's not the case.  Lots of 00s, 02s and so 
forth.  If I get a chance to break them down, I will.  

Nevertheless, I still subscribe to the idea, that since the FCC no longer 
requires a high code speed to get on the HF bands, CW is dying...and so are 
the DOMESTIC CW contests.  I am not knocking CW, but the handwriting is on 
the wall.  We can put our heads in the sand and pretend we don't see it, but 
it's there.

SS is not broken.  The manner in which the FCC grants licenses has diminished 
the pool of good CW ops for the SS CW.  It has not affected the SS SSB.

I ran into this in a NAQP a few years back.  (I suppose some list readers
remember the incident...)  I'm surprised Sean was only assaulted by one
operator - there were a whole lot more back whenever that was...

Was playing around on 15m late Sunday morning when I found a hole on 21349.8
& called a few CQs.  When someone started telling me I was out of the band. 
Disappeared promptly when reminded he was on 15, not 20<grin>.

contacts from 1-110, 1000-1009, and 1900-2009.  The breakdown follows:

1930's   2
1940's   5
1950's   52
1960's   62
1970's   91
1980's   37(hmmm)
1990's   65
2000's   16

To normalize the 2000's, consider it as 30% of a decade.  Normalize it to 53.

These figures differ quite a bit from what was posted on this reflector 
regarding the checks from the CW contest.  It seems there IS an influx of new 
blood in SS SSB.  SS SSB is alive and well.

On Saturday, 16 Nov 2002, while most of you were erecting antennas and
getting ready for The Contest, 5B4ADA/C4A antennas have been dismantled are
ready for yet another move.
I will be moving to Italy (is it a rare country, by the way?) to assume a
new post in UN Logistics Base in Brindisi in a couple of weeks.

I'm taking with me a lot of "radio stuff" and fond memories of the time
spent on the sunny island of Cyprus between January 1991 - October 2002.

Thank you again for the points in many, many contests and every Topband QSO.

73, CU soon

Yeah, I know, it's silly to post a single result but maybe we
can stir up a few others?  73 dink

Well, the data speaks for itself on CW.  There is nothing wrong with doing
this - but hopefully you will be able to encourage them to go work other
people - which will do more to convert them than just one QSO.

I realize on SSB this happens a lot more.  I will post some unique data
from the top SSB stations to see what it looks like.

Let's let the data speak.

You won't find "DX Window" defined in the FCC rules.  It's called a "Gentlemen's
Agreement" which in most of our minds has the same force and effect as Part 97.

Myself, I think it is pro-DX, much like the DX window on 160.  Maybe some 
of the KP@/KP3 crowd could comment if they ever got as far down as 80 in 
this contest -- were you shooed out of the DX window?

Message-ID: <3DCF011E@imail.net1plus.com>

I would give it a vote for "Pro DX" and not for the "Anti Contest". I chase DX 
and contest but do stay out of the 75M (3.790-3.800) during contests and out 
of the 160M DX window (1.830-1.835) unless calling DX. This is a courtsey to 
the other operators throughout the world who are not partaking in contests 
such as the domestic US/VE SS contests. It is easy to forget that 1KW on 75 to 
a dipole or an inverted vee is much more effective as a transmitter than as a 
reciever when looking for a clear run spot. (Thus the "alligator" effect .. 
Big mouth no ears). Although the band may seem dead to a station with minimal 
recieve antennas it is not dead for the stations who do chase DX on 75 meters 
with effective recieve antennas. In my personal  experience the DXers do not 
mind vacating either the 75 or the 160 DX window for the major worldwide 
contests (CQWW and ARRL DX). Charley W1TE

I didn't run into that, but I did run into the clown on 28325. This guy
started off out of nowhere really foul mouthed. I guess he took a disliking
to my voice keyer. Without insulting anyone, he did have quite a regional
accent and my beam was pointed at 85 degrees from LA. He kept telling me the
contest "just wasn't going to happen" on his frequency, even though I had
been running there for 30 minutes. My recording of it would be hilarious, if
it wasn't so sad. I worked a few guys through him just to show him I could.
20/20 hindsight, I should have faked a real good run of QSOs and pretended
he was piss weak, but that didn't occur to me until later. I'm proud to say
the only thing I said to him was "Do you have a call sign?" and "We'll have
to get Riley after you." Of course, then he started being foul mouthed about
Riley.

Yes, I have heard it both in contests and in DX pileups.

On Sunday afternoon I heard someone doing that on a contester who was
trying to run stations.  He was so much louder than the interferer,
though, that it wasn't much of a problem.  These guys just can't do much
to a big-time contest station's signal.

Message-ID: <5.1.0.14.0.20021118152953.037f34e0@netmail.home.com>

All,

I have a little pistol station running 100W (proximity to neighbors 
prohibits me from turning the amp on during contests) into a KT34-A and a 
vertical for 40m/80m .  I have had what I think is pretty good success in 
my SOLP efforts but when I look at the results on the 3830 reflector I 
clearly have a long way to go!  So what I was hoping to do is solicit some 
information from other Low power contesters who score big 
points.  Obviously antennas are important so I am interested in what kind 
of antennas the top stations have, but I am also interested in strategy... 
when to run(if possible) vs. S&P, when do you change bands, when do you 
point the beam at Europe, when do you hunt mults.

It would be great to receive electronic logs from some big point stations 
and I can then use Excel to glean a lot of the strategy information out of 
them.  If I am off base to suggest this then I apologize, I realize they 
represent "secrets of the trade", but because of that they would be a great 
source of information to a newbie like myself who wants to improve his 
skills,  and I figured it was worth a shot!  :)

Thanks for the bandwidth.

I agree.

Take a look at the last couple of years, with the unlimited club compitition 
between NCCC, PVRC & SMC. Those three clubs (and others!) are really getting 
folks on the air for SS. This is really, IMO, a great thing for the hobby!

I have been in further contact with Lali, the CY0MM group leader. He says
that "I talked to a couple of guys about Sable. They tried to push this CB
thing, however I never agreed to anything at all."

It is entirely possible that all this could be a pipe dream on the part of
the SD bunch. I for one am not going to take this any further at this time.
Maybe Policing worked and maybe it wasn't necessary except to get rid of
that web site and the implications it raised.

Nice trick. I had an experience with a couple of folks on 3.851. After
calling CQ for 15 minutes or so I got the typical "hey you are
QRMing...blah...didn't your FCC test have a question about intentional
interference...blah..." I worked folks under him pretty well, but it was
of course annoying. Anyway it struck me that he was no longer using
3.853 where he told me he was being interfered with and his buddies
probably came down to listen to him harass me. He was VERY long winded
so I just popped up there for five minutes before he figured it out!
Then I just popped back to 3.851. He left me alone for the next half an
hour at which time I was ready to leave anyway.

I really enjoy reading the comments section on the 3830 score reporter. I
read every comment, regardless of the entry category. After slaving away
over hot radios for an entire weekend, reading the comments only takes a
few minutes and really helps to savor the experience. I'm somewhat
disappointed that a lot of scores, even big ones, are submitted without
comments, probably because the submitter is tired after the contest, and
just wants to dump the score in and get it over with. I would suggest
that it is better to wait a day or two before submitting the score, with
comments, for the enjoyment of all.

I have to confess using the same assistance in EU HF Champs this summer:)
Had not many stations coming back to my CQs when I moved to 80m but somebody
started to play back my recorded voice keyer audio to me. He was reasonably
strong with clear audio and it felt kind of awkward to call CQ with two
signals on the same frequency so I moved down to work a few guys on S&P. I
returned after 2 minutes to find out that there was a DL station calling me
who had just come back to my friend's CQ and the guy himself had obviously
got bored and left.

So I worked the DL and continued with a nice run:)

Hey, if someone else sends your CQ's for you, then aren't you a multi-op or

  14.284, Saturday evening, some clown did a recording of me calling CQ. It
he was very strong, but lasted about 5 min. It stopped when I thanked him
for confirming my audio was loud & clear. then, I shut up, let him call cq a
couple times, & worked the guys that came back!!! hehehe

This technique is effective against other contesters as well.

There's an interesting juxtaposition of threads on the reflector right now:

1.  Hams should be self-policing, re: Sable Island

2.  Contesters take offense when told to QSY out of agreed-upon DX windows

So does that mean that hams should be self-policing only when it's convenient?

The 80m DX window is a gentleman's agreement.  There is no way to enforce 
it except self-policing.  I agree that it's a good thing to keep clear 
during domestic contests.

This weekend, on 80, 2 guys were on either side of me playing dueling 
carriers.
I'd been CQing for about 2 minutes without a call. I said, "I was about to 
leave the frequency, but now I'm staying." They left.
Several times while CQn (not this weekend though) I've had someone keying up 
right on top of me. No matter how loud they are I ask the next guy I work if 
he can hear it.
I then tell him, I can kinda of hear something, but it's not very loud here. 
The idiots leave EVERY TIME.
In NAQP SSB some lid was playing We Are The Champions on my run freq.
When he let up I said - Thanks pal, I love Queen. He left.

If they don't think that they're getting under your skin they'll go find 
something else to do, or someone else to bother.

I'd like to second Dave's comments.  Living in an area with almost no
contesters (Northern Ontario, where QST and CQ are not available at
newstands), reading the comments & stories posted with score summaries on
3830 is pretty much how I learned to contest.  Band changes, openings, run
vs. s&p, SO2R, all of it.  I can honestly say that if it hadn't been for the
many outstanding write-ups posted by K5ZD and others, I'd still be lost
regarding contests, and probably would have lost interest long ago.

Sincere thanks to Randy, and all like him, who share not only their scores
on 3830, but their experiences as well.

I think that it's a little presumptuous to call "DX windows"
gentleman's agreements.  They are special interest
arrangements that have been invented without universal
concurrence.

I'm wary of seeming inconsistent, since I adamantly oppose contest-free 
zones on the other bands, but it seems to me that a few kHz on 80 during 
phone SS is an acceptable compromise, particularly given that SS is a 
domestic contest and domestic signals are ALL so darned loud on 80.

Maybe we need a new category:  "Unintentionally assisted multi-state

I think we have all had experiences like this thread has related...but Sunday
evening I went to 75m for a while, and per chance came on a dead frequency, I
asked if the frequency was in use and a fellow replied that he had been using
it, but was going to eat supper and that I could go ahead....Wow...and it was
a nice clear frequency!  So I called CQ and worked a bunch of guys for 40
minutes maybe when after a QRZ a voice came on and said "Boy was supper good!"
 I asked if he wanted his freq back, and he said no, go ahead, that he would
S&P a bit.

A good experience...never got the fellows call, but Thanks!

You gotta get on all of the bands - especially in the ARRL DX
contests where it is easier for LP stations to work DX.  Note
that I said it was easier to work DX in the ARRL, not that
it was easier to place well!  The competition seems to be
even stronger in the ARRL DX than in CQ DX for LP stations.
You have to get the multipliers to go with the contacts, and
80 and 160 are important for multipliers.  With your "East
Coast" location, you should be able to work some Europeans on
160 to go with the easier Carribean mults.

Most importantly, compete against yourself.  I REALLY, REALLY
want to win the USA in a DX contest, but it's hard to do
from the fringes of the Black Hole.  However, I "made my
own category" by going for the mythical USA All Around LP
DX champion, combining SSB & CW scores for the CQ WW, 
ARRL DX, and CQ WPX contests.  This past contest season (2001-
2002) I "WON" this category and am now "DEFENDING" my
"CHAMPIONSHIP."  

Best of luck.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Help for a little pistol station


All,

I have a little pistol station running 100W (proximity to neighbors 
prohibits me from turning the amp on during contests) into a KT34-A and a 
vertical for 40m/80m .  I have had what I think is pretty good success in 
my SOLP efforts but when I look at the results on the 3830 reflector I 
clearly have a long way to go!  So what I was hoping to do is solicit some 
information from other Low power contesters who score big 
points.  Obviously antennas are important so I am interested in what kind 
of antennas the top stations have, but I am also interested in strategy... 
when to run(if possible) vs. S&P, when do you change bands, when do you 
point the beam at Europe, when do you hunt mults.

It would be great to receive electronic logs from some big point stations 
and I can then use Excel to glean a lot of the strategy information out of 
them.  If I am off base to suggest this then I apologize, I realize they 
represent "secrets of the trade", but because of that they would be a great 
source of information to a newbie like myself who wants to improve his 
skills,  and I figured it was worth a shot!  :)

Thanks for the bandwidth.

Message-ID: <009101c28fdf$1cffcb80$6b288ad8@adams.net>

While conditions on 10 were fairly good in the Midwest this weekend, K3ZO's
comments have me thinking (dangerous, I know....)

Just how many Novices and Tech Pluses are there left on 10 SSB?  The N/T
factor was a big one on 10 in the early 90's in SS and other contests.  I'm
wondering now, though, if the bulk of those who were interested enough to
still be around, and contesting, have upgraded and are no longer confined to
28.300-28.500 for SSB privileges?

Any comments? 73, Jim N9JF

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Harrassment & Favorite Beverage de VY1JA
Message-ID: <000901c28fe3$d4085820$14096cd8@jallen>

Perhaps two threads join on this matter.

First, I think that Ken, K6LA stumbled into the same pit that I had.

In one of my very early years of SS contesting, I started early on 28.325
and was QRMed by a GROUP of guys claiming that 28.325 was their frequency,
and that no contest was going to stop them from using it, so I would have to
QSY so that they could start up.  I am  usually fast to move on in cases
where people ask in a civilized manner, but their first attempt at asking
was with a club.

I told them that I had been on the frequency for several hours and that they
should by rights move a little up or down from there and find a clear
frequency if they could.  I discussed it with them for several minutes, and
decided not to fight the increasing rudeness which followed, as logic and
adherence to the FCC rules did not seem to apply to them.

After they forced "their frequency" from me, I listened see if they could
establish a chat group there.  It was a very interesting to listen to.

The group has within it several people that were acting as passband police.
As they attempted to establish themselves in the middle of SS, the "cops"
continued by harassing others in the area with cat calls, with carriers, and
obscene language, which makes me think that perhaps they had tried a little
too much of their "favorite beverage" from another current CQ-Contest
thread.

Since that time, I have heard them or others like them, even though I
started up a little higher, on 28.337.  They have never used their calls nor
started by asking politely.  If I notice QRM below me, I will ask the
persons generating it to give me a little more room, using my call, and if
it does not work, I slide up.  This year, if I can assume that it was part
of the same group, I was QRMed deliberately with every tool imaginable for
about two straight hours, and moving up or down in the high level of
activity on 10 was not an option.

Thanks to the many fine operators that endured the interference, totally
ignoring the nuisances as we worked together to get the QSOs through, it was
a record year for me.  This was largely due to QRM busting skills of those
that worked me in that spot 12 above "their frequency".

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Remote Internet Access - 72 mile path
Message-ID: <FJECJCDPGLAELGCJIMMNGEHDIHAA.barry@mxg.com>

If your contest station is out in the sticks with no
phone line, you may be interested in using WireLess LAN.

Article in ComputerWorld about San Diego County HPWREN
network for seismic data collection describes a connection
with 1 watt 2.4GHZ 802.11b WLAN and 2 foot parabolic antennas
to connect San Clemente Island across a 72 mile path.
 
The 11 Mbit/sec rate of 802.11b was cut to 1 Mbit/sec
by the extreme path length.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] ACOM Customer Service
Message-ID: <008001c28ff8$f501ea40$3200a8c0@Bob.etiquality.com>

A couple of months ago I bot an ACOM A-1000 6M thru 160m ampl.

The amp arrIvied slightly damaged tnx to ruff handling by UPS!    Damage was 
cosmetic and the ampl wked fine.  I filed the required damaged reports with UPS.
Eventually they made it to Will's desk at acom.

I figured at best I wud get some new sheet metal from ACOM but was amazed to 
hear that Will was going to send me a whole new  ampl!!   Not only did ACOM 
send a new ampl they did it b4 getting the damaged one back!

They also paid for the rtn freight charges on the damaged unit.    I say they 
went above and beyond wat most suppliers would do in today's  world.

3 cheers for the boys at ACOM  de Bob, W7GG

I'm comfortable with the DX Window, and do not wish to see it
weakened.

I'm uncomfortable when I see customs and habits defended in an
indefensible manner.  My concern is that encouraging DXers to
believe that they have a "window" reserved for themselves by
gentleman's agreement will lead to strife, i.e., belief that anyone
who may happen to transmit in the DX window must be violating
the gentleman's agreement, therefore he must not deserve treatment
befitting a gentleman.

We're seeing examples of this strife in the opinions expressed on
the reflector in this thread.  Part of the reason is that the custom
of
leaving the low end of 75 to DXers makes less sense during
contests that generate a great deal of band congestion.  Frankly, I
believe that a small number of "contests" override all customary
and habitual bandplans by the very weight of their levels of
participation.  To declare that the DX window should be thought
of as inviolate during these contests actually weakens the concept
of a DX window by associating it with indefensible levels of greed.

It's a little like hearing that the Texas Cattleman's Association has
a gentleman's agreement in effect that Texas shall be a sheep free
zone.  Now, I'm in favor of cattle.  I find sheep displeasing as food.
A personal preference.  But, I'm going to be very careful about how
I encourage the cattlemen to defend Texas against sheep.

that works the other way also.  in a recent contest i was on 40m ssb cqing
and was just about to leave for another band when someone came on and
asked if he could call his net buddies and move them to another frequency
since i was on their normal one... nice enough to ask at least, so i told
him that he could have the frequency if his buddies gave me some
contacts... they did, and i left them happy to have their frequency nice
and clear.  hopefully i won't lose them all as uniques!

Message-ID: <ac.317a89d8.2b0bd77e@aol.com>

Although rare on CW, I've even had it happen there.

At 9M6AAC in the 1999 CQWW CW,  I'd been running on 40 meters when the call 
9M6AAC was dumped on my frequency.  Figuring it was someone unsure of our 
call, I said "go ahead" in whatever form.  The caller kept coming back with 
"9M6AAC", at which point I figured it was someone screwing around, and so I 
just kept working the other callers as best I could.  Then the joker started 
calling CQ de 9M6AAC.  I sat back and heard a few guys answering him as well, 
though he did not pass out any exchanges. (I guess I just could have logged 
them if he did??)  

I tried again CQing myself, and he started CQing too.  By now he had 
obviously set up his computer/memory keyer with an autorepeat CQ about every 
20 seconds, but screwed it up to using the call 9M6AC.  By then I gave up, 
and went to some other far away frequency or another band.  But I think I 
checked back at least once and heard the auto-CQ still going on.


My favorite harrassment story is still from a DX contest a year or so ago at 
K8AZ.  I was running on the high end of 20 SSB when some guy comes on with 25 
wpm CW sending "F*** You" .  I ignored it the first few times, but finally I 
came back and said "The station calling on CW, I'm sorry OM, but I just 
upgraded from Technician and can't copy what you're sending.  QRZ from K8AZ".

I never heard him again, though a few minutes later some bozos fired up on 
SSB for their net or regular schedule, rendering the frequency unusable.

It is not the same but we were using a wireless lan in last CQWW (multi/multi) 
and it was the best improvement... as we fotgot all the RFI on the PCs :-)

Generally, If I have been sitting there just monitoring a clear frequency

This frequently surprises the inquirer!

>From the DX side of things.. the issue is equally grey.  I will pop up in
the window for 'bursts' of 30 minutes or so.. and then try and work split
3699/3805 or something like that - very very hard going though, as most NA
hams would never listen down at 3699 for a SSB signal.

Generally using a VK8 callsign in the window keeps the soothsayers quiet,
but I know if I was in Sydney and used VK2 I would probably get a quick
push-on.  Martin VK5GN will reply to calls but won't monoploise our
3794~3800 window, and I guess its a tough call.

The GOOD NEWS news is that all VK hams will get access to 3776~3800kHz from
January 1, 2004. So we should see some decent 80m scores out of VK after
that date !!!

All I can say is...you don't know the half of it, my friend.  I bought the
2000A amp, S/N 100, and the support they have given me has been just
unbelievable.  I have had tropical bugs crawling through it causing
shorts...left it out in the rain to get waterlogged...exposed it to salt
spray...and abused it as should never be allowed.  Yet Acom has bailed me
out every time, unflinchingly.  Three years later, despite the abuse, it's
still chugging along like a champ.    Yes, those guys do a super job of
supporting even us dummies.

Message-ID: <12b.1b6926f6.2b0c5299@aol.com>

A quick word about loops and yagis...

I have messed around with quad loops and yagis since the 70s.  Both are 
excellent performers and from my experience, I don't think there is a whole 
lot of difference in them on the radiated signal.  However, I have found 
quads are more broadbanded and hear a lot better.  As far as the mechanics 
go, I'll take a Yagi any day.

With this being said though, I am currently using loop arrays on 75 meters.  
They are flat topped delta loops with the tops being around 160-170 feet 
high.  I have a 4 el facing Europe and 2 el facing JA and a 2 el facing 
VK/ZL.  The systems are suspended by a rope system from my towers.  They are 
killer antennas.  I believe  LPL uses a similar system and I know KC1XX has 
the stacked quads.

Mechanically, my loops antennas are superior to a 75 meter Yagi  and have 
been up for four years with no problems.  Probably the equivalent Yagis at 
the same height would work about as well, but on 75 would they stay up as 
long and would they be as easy to maintain?...nope.  Sometimes quads are the 
answer, sometimes yagis.  Nothing is black and white...always gray.  It 
depends on the band.

Howdy all,

After working my first SS this past weekend, I'm looking for some advice on
filters. I run a Icom IC-746. It currently has no filters in it other then
what comes with the radio. I notice that Icom sells a couple of different
SSB filters for this radio. One is a 1.9 KHz filter for the 9 MHz IF, and
the other is a 1.8 KHz filter for the 455 KHz IF (I think I have those
right). My questions then are:

1. Do I get both filters?

2. If not both, which single one is best?

3. Is there a third party filter that I should consider (I really don't want
to have to solder anything in place if possible).

Thanks all,

Kelley -- W?RK

Yes, get both if you can.

> 2. If not both, which single one is best?

If you only get one, get the one for the 9MHz IF.  You want the filtering to
occur as early as possible in the IF/AGC chain.

I don't know if anyone else makes ICOM compatible filters.

I have been using LogPlus as my logging program for years. The author is

looking for a Windows compatible logging program that will support my
SO2R setup.  I use NA for all my contesting with SO2R.

Are there any? I also chase 5BDXCC, 5BWAZ, IOTA and hope there is a
program that will does it all: award management, searches, etc., and
radio/rotator control, SO2R, RF PacketCluster connects, DXTelnet.

I'm sure this has been brought up before, so I ask too, is there a Web
site that may have the analysis of the major logging programs?

I think there is an element of anti-contest in this situation too.  However,
the absurdity of it hit home for me several years back when I was doing a
75m single band effort in the WPX SSB.  I was calling CQ on 3795, and I was
told to move.  I asked why and was told because it was the DX window.  I
replied, thanks - that's exactly why I'm here - to work DX!  This was not
accepted as a logical course of events and was followed with all sorts of
noises, jamming etc.

I do think that calling CQ SS in this area should be avoided, but there has
to be tolerance of using the window area for DX contests.

Actually, I'd like to see the band segments put back the way they were so
that the advanced band started at 3800, which really was cool as many DX
stations would call CQ in the window, and listen above 3800 for callers.
Those were days.

It is not the same but we were using a wireless lan in last CQWW
(multi/multi) 
and it was the best improvement... as we fotgot all the RFI on the PCs :-)

No wires, no RFI ;-)

Subject: [CQ-Contest] The CQ Contest (TA2BK & CQ WW SSB 2002)
Message-ID: <20021120091102.53690.qmail@web40612.mail.yahoo.com>

TA2BK is on the air & CQ WW SSB 2002 

It's always a fun operating the CQ-WW Tests, but it's extraordinary doing it 
from my alternative qth here in Bozcaada, IOTA AS-099, in the near vicinity of 
the ancient site of Troy. It seems that being near Troy gives some additional 
dB, hi hi  (see the claimed scores of the Macedonian Team which were guests in 
this qth during the WPX-CW Contest )! 

Of course you have to be very accurate in terms of the ferry-schedule. Murphy 
had its first appearence on the 400 km trip from Istanbul towards Bozcaada, 
therefore we missed the last ferry at Friday. Next one meant next day 0700 Z. 
Well, no other way! Murphy the second: Keys of the house were forgotten in 
Istanbul, therefore we had search for the person on the island who had the 
spare ones. We were quite lucky as he was "not in the fields" and could be 
found in about one hour.

I was accompanied by Selim,TA2DS who would never and by no means miss such an 
activity, even as a spectator but mostly as the "technical chief"... Well, the 
recently acquired TS-850 had to get a connection cable to the amp etc etc. " 
Jefe" Selim would never let somebody else doing such things, as nobody than him 
would get those things "perfectly perpendicular".

Finally, with almost a delay of  11 hours TA1E/0 was on the air ! Of course or 
as usual no desktop mike and no voice synthetizer, which meant also a good deal 
of test for the throat, hi ! Meanwhile Selim was busy in taking care of other 
items. One of his top items on the agenda was cooking. I would like to propose 
an award of  "The Best Cooking Ham" to the CQ-Magazine. I'm quite confident 
that Selim will be a winner in series,even in the "mixed" category competing 
with YL's and XYL's... I am ready to make this qth available for this "special 
contest" with a good deal of any sort of herbs and other useful ingredients 
readily available in the garden...

Antenna was moderate (3 El-Tribander, 11 m off the ground), the amp lazy, 
pushing out only 300 W (spare tubes were forgotten in Istanbul as well-Murphy 
the third) but conditions  were superb. Therefore qso-rates were impressive, 
peaking to 150 or sometimes more qso's per hour. A very contributing factor of 
course was the "Special Contest Menu" of  Jefe Selim, hi !

Well, with some "tactical techniques" I was able also to work some nice 
multiplicators. I observed that quite a lot of  stations in the Caribbean 
especially had some sort of "fixed" antennas to USA, absolutely neglecting our 
part of the World, including Europe. One of these "Mighty Guys" from was very 
loud, even beaming towards USA, but his problem seemed to be ignoring any call 
besides USA or any signal below S9 +++ and continously activating his "parrot". 
He missed at least one multi, unfortunately I missed one as well. The other 
observation was the absence of quite some European countries such as T7, T9, Z3 
and ZA. Hopefully next year there will be some more activity there... Thanks to 
the DL and SP Stations for the nice points.

I ended up with .... qso's, ... DXCC-Entities and .. Zones. I wish I had 
contributed more to my team "TA2BK is on the air". Thanks to a bright idea of 
Berkin, TA3J we decided to commemorate our Founding Member and great person 
Bahri by participating to the contest this way. See you next year, hopefully 
with less Murphies and better antennas. 73! Aziz SASA, TA1E/0

There is a FAQ for the IC746 that contains a sizable section about filters. You 
can see the entire FAQ at:

Howdy all,

After working my first SS this past weekend, I'm looking for some advice on
filters. I run a Icom IC-746. It currently has no filters in it other then
what comes with the radio. I notice that Icom sells a couple of different
SSB filters for this radio. One is a 1.9 KHz filter for the 9 MHz IF, and
the other is a 1.8 KHz filter for the 455 KHz IF (I think I have those
right). My questions then are:

1. Do I get both filters?

2. If not both, which single one is best?

3. Is there a third party filter that I should consider (I really don't want
to have to solder anything in place if possible).

Thanks all,

Kelley -- W?RK

------------------------------

Q:1.1.  What is an FAQ?
Q:1.2.  Where can I get a copy?

        FAQ stands for "Frequently Asked Questions".  It tries
        to cover common questions/problems/issues associated
        with Icom's IC-746 HF/VHF amateur radio transceiver.

        The master copy is kept at:

                http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IC746/files/IC746-faq.txt

        Mirrored copies (after a short delay) appear at:

                http://www.qsl.net/kb9sss/IC-746/IC746-faq.txt
                http://www.skysdaughter.com/icom746-faq

        You do not need a Yahoo email account to access the
        master copy, however, you will need a logon account.
        Yes, that is a subtle but hopefully minor distinction.
        Not everyone is willing to have a login account at Yahoo
        (even if it is free), which is one of several reasons
        for maintaining the mirror sites.

        We also make sporadic postings of the FAQ to:

                news:rec.radio.amateur.equipment

        usually in the first half of a month.

Then there is reality tragedy. Fox is also developing, "Exhausted," a 
game-show version of Depression-era dance marathons, as depicted in "They 
Shoot Horses, Don't They?" Contestants will be kept sleepless for 24 hours, 
then made to compete in a variety of games and contests for another 24. When 
only two finalists are left standing, they are seated in cozy armchairs. The 
first to fall asleep loses.

Contesting (or contesters) may be better suited for television than we ever 
suspected. Maybe the Fox folks could just visit a few single op contesters 
this weekend? Any volunteers?

    Don't know about the ease of installation (non-soldering) but the filters 
from George, W2VJN, are the ones to get. Their skirts are steeper and they'll 
run circles around the filters from the manufacturers. George's company is

I've got to chime in my approval for cross-frequency operation on 75 SSB
during
contests.  I honestly believe that more contacts can be made in this
fashion.

When I was operating DX contests at W6HX in the 70's I had a number of
contests in
which I had contact totals in the range of 400 on 75M.  These were primarily
the JA's
that I could work cross-frequency, with them transmitting below 3600.  As
soon as the
JA's got a window around 3790, and could work on-frequency with US stations,
contact
totals for all West Coast stations on 75M were cut in half, and 40M contact
totals were
reduced by 100 or so.  Japanese stations simply refused to work
cross-frequency on
75 after that.  The JA 75M DX window was remarkably narrow, and the best
periods
of the potential JA runs are typically prevented because large pile-ups of
US stations
calling SA and Caribbean stations block most trans-Pacific activity.  These
kinds of
problems must be limiting factors for all but the most dominant East Coast
stations
working Europe as well, but perhaps not quite as severe.

Most likely there was an effect on contact numbers to Japan on the other
bands too,
with remarkably fewer casual contesters from Japan taking part in the
contests from
one year to the next (this is harder to quantify due to the effect of
sunspot variations.
It was a tragedy to California stations, as there has never since been a
major DX
contest in which a US victory came from 6-land.  Increasing numbers of
European
hams provided part of the reason for this, but I believe that it had tragic
spin-off
consequences for CW contests as well, as there was a general drop in DX
contest
activity in Japan out of proportion with the number of licensed hams in
Japan.

Well, it's too late to get that back.  Let's face it, without
cross-frequency contacts the
40/75/160M phone bands are severely limited for DX due to local interference
levels.

Here's a start at it:

It is based on:

Trouble is, I can't vouch of the accuracy of the

I think that 10m is less of an issue - I too get the feeling 
that almost everyone who is intrested in the HF bands has 
taken the written test and upgraded to use of all the bands.

So now we can work them on all the band - not just 10m.

Ray...

FWIW, I have been trying out different logging programs for years and 
have yet to find one that covers everything I want for contesting AND 
general logging, all in one package...

My absolute favourite (by far)  for contesting is N1MM Logger, a real 
Windows program (no DOS Windows, Boot disks, TSR's and stuff) with all 
the features needed...Programmable macros for CW, SSB wav files, RTTY 
and PSK31...Connects to Telnet/Packet for spotting...The best looking 
bandmaps I have seen..."Enter Sends Message" mode is one of my favourite 
features (eliminates using "F" keys for each message, the ENTER key 
takes you through the whole QSO, from CQ to TU)...Two radio 
support...Excellent technical support and it's FREE (Not Shareware with 
a free trial version, it's free for the latest fully functional 
version)....Cabrillo, ADIF etc etc export...The list goes on and on...A 
real professionally done, fully featured piece of Windows software...Try 
it...

WriteLog is also an excellent Windows contesting program...Can't vouch 
for it's general logging capabilities, but it is a good contesting 
program...Between Writelog and N1MM, I get just about all the contests 
supported that I work...

For general logging I have chosen Win-EQF...Great award tracking, 
searching, radio support and a fairly good contesting module...It's 
designed more-so for general logging vs contesting

A search will give you dozens of other ones...Some good, some not so 
good and many I haven't tried...10 people will give you 10 different 
opinions...Try a bunch of them, there are lots and one may just fit what 
your looking for...

Have not heard of a website that rates the major ones, although someone 
else likely has found one...

Kelley,
I had the exact question a couple of years ago with my then new IC746.  I 
was planning on using the 746 on 6m and 2m for vhf weak signal work, 
contesting and as a back-up to my IC765 for HF contesting (which already 
had narrow SSB filters in both IF's that worked very well) and I wanted to 
narrow the IF to better reject adjacent frequency interference.  Like you, 
I didn't want the wire-in filter mod so I compromised by purchasing the 
1.9KHz Icom narrrow SSB filter for the 9MHz IF and the 1.8Khz narrow SSB 
filter for the 455KHz IF from INRAD.  This combo sharpens up the IF 
considerably (it almost makes rag chewing uncomfortable because of the loss 
of the wider fidelity but that is easily fixed with a push of the FILTER 
button to toggle back into the stock 2.4KHz Icom filters) and makes 
contesting and dx'g on a crowded band much more bearable.  I have found the 
IC746 with filters to be a very respectable radio.  Probably a better way 
to go is to purchase the wire-in filter from INRAD for the 9MHz IF as well 
as the INRAD drop in filter for the 455KHz IF but my compromise worked out 
very well without any internal changes to the IC746.
INRAD's webpage is at:  http://www.qth.com/inrad/

Ray,
        I have found the following to be the simplest solution to all
my ham radio needs and especially for those of us who used LogPlus.
I do everything using 3 programs but it's simple. 
        The first thing you want to do is install a program called BV.
I use BV6 http://www.qsl.net/df3cb/bv.html for all my qsl'ing needs
and I print directly to my cards. No more messing around with labels.
You can print to labels if you prefer. BV7 is available but BV6 works
great for me and I don't believe in fixing what isn't broken. I think
the GREATEST feature of BV is the file conversion function. You can
convert your LogPlus files to an ADIF file, a BV file, etc. There are
many conversion options. EVERYONE should be using this program even if
only for this feature. You can even take a Sweepstakes log and tell
the program to remove the exchange from the log and replace the
exchange with 59/599! How slick is that?! This is what I do before I
import my Sweepstakes log into Logger or BV. There is also a mailing
list for the BV program ( bv6@yahoogroups.com) but there is not too
much activity on it. I guess people aren't having problems. Oh, the BV
program is free!
        I use Logger ( http://www.qsl.net/kc4elo/logger.htm ) for ALL
logging and award tracking. I love it and it's free. I'm not a rag
chewer. I chase dx and operate contests ( CW, RTTY, SSB). So for
chasing dx I use Logger. Before I operate a contest I create an .ADIF
file from Logger for all activity since the last contest ( you can
create and ADIF file by dates in Logger) and import it into BV6. When
operating a contest I use Writelog for the 3 modes. After the contest
I make WL create an ADIF file and I import it into Logger AND BV6. So
all logs go to Logger and all qsl activity is done from BV. It's
really slick!
        One more tip! Whenever  you have a screwed up contest file and
you want to make a correction to all or some of the qso's at the same
time ( i.e the wrong date) without typing a lot, use the Programmer's
File Editor. This has saved my ass on a few occassions. It's not
supported anymore but it works just great and can be downloaded at :
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/people/cpaap/pfe/ It's free also!

        Good luck & 73, 
                
                Jeff K1AM    k1am@arrl.net

Yes, but, 10M is a phenomena not just a wavelength. There is no 15-15 
International Club. 

There are those who are using monoband radios, whips and low power to 
successfully work the world. There is no other HF band with so many who can 
get such profound results with such a modest investment.

There is no other HF band with so much real estate. There are seldom other HF 
bands where E and F skip happen at the same time. There are no other HF bands 
where you can work tropo scatter when the band is closed.

Go ahead and QSY. I'll be on 10 creating activity when everyone else is 
listening to see if the band is open.

I love ten meters too...it's a great band.  I wouldn't miss the 10 meter 
contest for anything.

However, you guys out west love ten a little more than we do back east. 
Sweepstakes is a matter of working the large areas of population.  For you 
guys it means getting on ten to work the midwest and the northeast.  When the 
band is open east west like that it is harder for us to get a really good 
opening to those areas here in the southeast.  Fifteen provided that opening 
for us this year at the beginning of the contest and twenty is THE place to 
be if you are in the southeast.  Why screw with ten and be connon-fodder for 
the W6 and W7 stations?..:-)  I made 15 QSOs on 10 this year and had my best 
relative finish ever in SS.  For SS in the southeast, there's no meters like 
20 meters.

There was an attempt to start a 12-12 club when that
band was first open to ham use.  I know, I was 12-12
#84.  I think that the novelty of 10 meters will die
down some when the new generals and extras experience
their first sunspot minimum.  Yes the band will have
occassional TE, and Eskip, but those things are hard
to predict.  Nowdays you can turn the radio on and
hear DX every day during the winter.  Many new
licensees who have not been thru a sunspot minimum
don't know what to expect yet.  

Also, we should be indebted to the freebander market
for creating the need for all of those 10 meter
monobander rigs.  Go look at www.copper.com.  For
every 10 meter monobander, there is a video called
"Tricks and tips" which lists modifications for that
rig.  Why do I think that the modification is not to
improve CW waveform?

Message-ID: <000501c290fb$f6a9a820$7501cecb@martinl>

Leigh makes a very good point. Since we got the VK "window at 3794 to 3800 I
find it hard to make anything like a good number of Q's on 80.

It is really not fair to tie up this window with endless CQ's. I tried to
get it made a contest free zone here in VK because I knew what would happen.
However, that was not successful. Although I am sure those that hand out
numbers there would, in the main, scream like stuck pigs if I were to really
set the CQ machine going there and monopolise it.

I do, now, reply there to others CQ's and that's how I get a few mults. It
is really not suitable as a contesting spot. Too much QRM from others
wanting to use it.

However, I used to be able to CQ on 3695+ - and get a pile up going further
up the band. No longer. Even many of the big multi stations require a nudge
on 40 to listen down for me when they say they still need a mult on 80.

A number of times in recent contests I have run the CQ machine on 3695
listening up while I s&p on 20/40 with the  other radio. So little return
that it is not worthwhile.

There are regular VK's in the DX window and the US stations get the mult and
then don't bother any longer. I can hear them Cqing away on 375/6/7/ and no
reply when they could be working at least a few of us on 3695.

It may improve when the sunspots means that Q's on 80 get more important in
the overall scheme of things.

Now if I could just get the Europeans to listen up on 40 around 2100z we
might get somewhere really interesting Hi Hi.

Subject:        Re: [CQ-Contest] 80M DX window???

I've got to chime in my approval for cross-frequency operation on 75 SSB
during
contests.  I honestly believe that more contacts can be made in this
fashion.

When I was operating DX contests at W6HX in the 70's I had a number of
contests in
which I had contact totals in the range of 400 on 75M.  These were primarily
the JA's
that I could work cross-frequency, with them transmitting below 3600.  As
soon as the
JA's got a window around 3790, and could work on-frequency with US stations,
contact
totals for all West Coast stations on 75M were cut in half, and 40M contact
totals were
reduced by 100 or so.  Japanese stations simply refused to work
cross-frequency on
75 after that.  The JA 75M DX window was remarkably narrow, and the best
periods
of the potential JA runs are typically prevented because large pile-ups of
US stations
calling SA and Caribbean stations block most trans-Pacific activity.  These
kinds of
problems must be limiting factors for all but the most dominant East Coast
stations
working Europe as well, but perhaps not quite as severe.

Most likely there was an effect on contact numbers to Japan on the other
bands too,
with remarkably fewer casual contesters from Japan taking part in the
contests from
one year to the next (this is harder to quantify due to the effect of
sunspot variations.
It was a tragedy to California stations, as there has never since been a
major DX
contest in which a US victory came from 6-land.  Increasing numbers of
European
hams provided part of the reason for this, but I believe that it had tragic
spin-off
consequences for CW contests as well, as there was a general drop in DX
contest
activity in Japan out of proportion with the number of licensed hams in
Japan.

Well, it's too late to get that back.  Let's face it, without
cross-frequency contacts the
40/75/160M phone bands are severely limited for DX due to local interference
levels.

Leigh makes a very good point. Since we got the VK "window at 3794 to 3800 I
find it hard to make anything like a good number of Q's on 80.

It is really not fair to tie up this window with endless CQ's. I tried to
get it made a contest free zone here in VK because I knew what would happen.
However, that was not successful. Although I am sure those that hand out
numbers there would, in the main, scream like stuck pigs if I were to really
set the CQ machine going there and monopolise it.

------------------
Once again it appears that CW is the answer !  I can work VK6HD on 80  CW
almost any day in the season.

Ray,
I use also BV for QSL, Logger for General logging, awards tracking, all digi
modes, some PSK31 contests and Satellites. But for Contesting I use TRlog
for SSB and CW and WF1B for RTTY. The editor that I use is UltraEdit (great
thing!).

While I'm quite happy with TR for contesting, it's got its drawbacks for
general QSO logging.  I've never found a general QSO logging program I
really liked.  So finally, a few weeks ago, I did something I've long been
threatening to do.

Wrote my own.

Use "logger", it's free and very very good. Download it at 
www.qsl.net/kc4elo
The new version (Logger 32) is due in a few months, maybe even a few 
weeks ( Xmas time, some say)

There is no CQWW Countries list.

The things that count as countries for CQWW include everything on the DXCC
Country list, plus those unique things on the WAE Country list like,
Shetlands, 4U1VIC , TA1, etc.

One source for the WAE list is: http://www.darc.de/referate/dx/fed.htm

I can remember working VP6BR on 3795 on CW a few years ago.  I thought it
was a strange frequency for a CW pileup, but there he was!

The extra some  10 % higher in frequency may make a difference from the low
end.

Thanks to everyone for all of the input on filters for my Icom 746.

The summary of all the emails, both to the list and private are as follows:

1. Get both filters. The PBT works better that way.

2. If I get one, get the 9 MHz filter.

3. Get InRad filters instead of Icom filters.

Thanks,

Kelley -- W?RK

Date: Sat Nov 30 20:36:38 2002
Subject: [CQ-Contest] W1CW = SK
Message-ID: <000501c29256$7067f8a0$c8e62341@tampabay.rr.com>

I was a Novice who didn't know squat but my Elmer suddenly had need of a 15
meter beam for the family antenna farm, which previously had had none.  This
is how things were with my Dad, W1CW - a giving man who always put his
interests last and everyone else's first.

Dad was the guy who made the DXCC what it was - he checked and administered
the program for almost a quarter century in Newington, and he didn't cut any
corners - everyone was held to the same high standards - this is what made
holding DXCC meaningful.  That was during the "heyday" of DXCC, including
the evolution of the DXpedition.  Dad later went on to set up and run the
"new" ARRL outgoing QSL Bureau.

Finally, when he moved to Tampa after Hurricane Andrew we had an opportunity
to put together a big ham station - capable of being first through the
pileups and supporting multi-operator entries in contests.  For numerous
hours in the early planning stages we would talk on the telephone while both
sitting in front of computers running YO trying antenna designs for the new
15 meter beam for the station.  Dad's final design has been a killer into EU
ever since.

I was in heaven - we would work on the projects during the week while I was
at work and on the weekends and I would install that needed special mounting
plate or reinforcement - that would be Dad's project for the week.... and I
would come over on Saturdays and piece by piece the antenna farm grew.  W1YL
(Mom) didn't always approve of Dad's priorities but I always thought they
were in order.  Multi-ops were hosted and certificates and plaques started
showing up in the mailbox.  This was ham-heaven.

During late nights when he could not sleep W1CW loved 40 meter CW -
especially since his station now had something he had never had before - a
rotary yagi - at 135 feet!  Each year when I went to Dayton and saw friends
they would usually say the same thing "I heard your Dad on 40".  He was able
to enjoy the station, talking to his friends in the First Class CW
Operators' Club and at times marveling at radio - almost like a new ham
excited about his first "run" of JA stations - he would tell me "two nights
ago was really good - they just kept callin' and callin'"  Radio filled
almost all his life, ever since his step-dad W6APG introduced him to it.

After the end of each contest we would pow-wow over what could be improved
and would this  be one of the upcoming projects for the station.  Over the
years the station grew and outgrew itself - we had to put additional
operating positions out on the porch when we went multi-multi but through it
all we had a blast.  Florida Contest Group multi-operations in all the major
CW DX contests, being the hub for the W1AW/4 IARU, and a threepeat as first
place finisher in the CW SS were some of the highlights. Mom would keep us
ops all well fed - Dad would routinely walk around checking the meters [no
Red LED's on the Alphas!].  A respectable contest station was born and
raised by W1CW... be it the miles of burried ground system or the custom
turnings from his lathe it all came together into a fine machine for making
ham radio communications!

This morning my father passed away.  His health had been failing and we had
been graced with an "extra" year with my Dad after he survived triple
by-pass surgery.  I just had lunch with my Mom and my wife and my wife
looked at me as I gazed out into the back yard and Teresa smiled and said -
"their his monuments" - referring to all those towers and antennas squeezed
onto his lot!

Dad had been licensed previously as: W6QEZ, W2QPZ, KH6QJ, W6YYN, and W1WPO.
He was a radioman during WW II  and a member of ARRL for over 60 years - my
Dad would often joke at how the League was gonna lose money big time on his
lifetime membership!

In my last talks with him he wanted to hear about the big efforts planned
for this weekends CQ WW contest and especially how a fellow club member was
coming on a major antenna project.

Radio - when I was little it separated me from my Dad, as I grew older it
became the gift that turned by Dad into my best friend... thanks for the
ride, Dad - say hello to W0DX and KH6IJ for me.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Scoring  and Classification Problem of TA0-Calls in 
Contests
Message-ID: <20021124154859.7776.qmail@web40611.mail.yahoo.com>

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

During the scoring procedure for contests we got aware of  a problem which is 
unique to Turkey.

As widely known, in the Turkish Regulations the call-area 0 has been assigned 
to the islands. On the other hand there are islands which are eligible for the 
IOTA, besides some islands which are not (the islands in the Marmara Sea like 
Heybeli, Buyuk, Sivri, Kinali, Burgaz, Avsa, Marmara).

The problem is rather the location of the islands which mostly are in Asia. But 
all of the most commonly used contest-scoring and logging software count them 
automatically to Europe which causes a wrong sort of scoring, resulting in a 
unfair score for all stations which have worked any station located in the 
Turkish islands, particularly those in Asia. 

 All islands with the exception of the so called IOTA-Saros-Group (EU-186) are 
in Asia. 

In the CQ-WW-SSB Contest of 2002 the only participant from a Turkish island has 
been TA1E/0 which was located in Bozcaada, IOTA-AS-099, clearly a location in 
Asia. Therefore we ask the CQ-Contest Commitee to take this into account in 
favour of the stations having worked this particular one, if possible.

A definitive solution for the problem might be counting all TA0-Calls generally 
as Asia for contests and making a modification to the scoring software for 
accomplishing this. This is not unfair as in majority the Asian islands are 
activated during contests and there is no other alternative for solving the 
problem (it is impossible to assign distinctive Prefixes for the exceptions). 
The other fact is that the vast majority of the islands are located in Asia. 

In terms of IOTA-Contests there is no problem as scoring (and contest report 
exchange) incorporates the reference-number of the island.

I would like to ask all receipents of this mail to convey their thoughts about 
my proposal as soon as possible to me. If this solution is accepted, the next 
step has to be done by the vendors of the popular logging softwares.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.0.20021124185913.00a88820@130.94.229.242>

In CQWW-CW I had about 450 QSOs - mostly on 10m, both
running and hunting.

In all QSOs the exchange I gave was 14 - not 5NN14, just
14.  Only four stations asked for their RST, indicating
that over 99% accept that it makes no difference (to them)
whether or not the other station gives a report.

The 99% are right - it doesn't matter!  Their logs will
show 599 received, and my log will show 599 sent.  Even
if I gave something other than 599 to the stations who
asked for a report, it still does not matter what's in
their log or in mine, as reports are not cross-checked
in CQWW.

Yes, the rules say that RS(T) should be exchanged, and
I broke the rules.  I did this to draw attention to the
rules themselves, and to the archaic practice of
exchanging 5NN in major contests.

Perhaps the rules can be updated, because a "rule" that
is not enforced is not a rule - it's a recommendation.
 
Recommendations are not mandatory, they're optional. It
follows, therefore, that the exchange of RS(T) in CQWW
is optional.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Miniclock problem
Message-ID: <3DE21824.14359.25E589@localhost>

Just wanted to make everyone aware of something I noted this 
weekend. I use the program "Miniclock" to give me a mini-window to 
keep time dispayed on the screen.
I noticed that Miniclock and Writelog didn't agree as I logged QSOs, on 
day 2 (it was about 2 minutes ahead, when I noticed). Also noticed that 
Writelog used the time of the clock on the task bar in logging QSOs.
I use WinXP and update my system clock to NIST every 15 minutes. 
So, that means that Miniclock, while running, doesn't get updated, when 
the system time is corrected.
My solution was to terminate and restart Miniclock every now and then. 
Otherwise, I would have thought everyone else operated the contest 2 
minutes too long :.)

FWIW...

This is one statistic that I would not lose sleep over.  For those not
aware, a European station has been reinjecting duplicate spots into a
node connected to the internet.  When sending the duplicate spot, the
time of the second spot is changed so as to defeat the dupe filters of
node software like DXSpider or ARCluster.  So, with no ill will toward
the efforts of any group, these spot statistics are meaningless.

Can't argue with this.  I thought you reduced it to "E" but had sped up the
code to 248WPM thereby sending the signal report so fast that the RF never
got past the TR relay.

That can happen, you know.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] 10 meters in SS
Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.2.20021125105108.00a92b20@3n.net>

I'm a little late to this party, but here are my two cents. For me, ten 
meters is the most interesting band, which for me was proven again this 
weekend in the CQ WW CW contest. However, it's viable only when the solar 
cycle says so. I've come back to hamming after a 45-year lapse and got my 
Novice ticket at the peak of the current cycle. So I've had a ball 
operating phone on 10 meters just like I did in the early 50's (back then I 
didn't care that sporadic E was the only long distance option, and I looked 
for those openings).

However, as a Novice I recognized that having SSB privileges only on 10 
meters was very limiting for a beginner so I proposed to the FCC that it 
expand Novice/Tech Plus cum code certificate holders' privileges to include 
some SSB on the WARC bands as well as broader CW privileges on all the HF 
bands. The intent was to make the initial entry-level license privileges 
robust enough to persuade new licensees to remain in the hobby rather than 
abandon it as they now are doing in substantial numbers. (While the number 
of new licenses issued remains at a pretty good rate, the number of 
drop-outs is about equal to that rate and thus our hobby is not growing. 
Added to that fact is another: the average age of hams is increasing, which 
does not bode well for the future of our hobby.

In any event, the FCC published my petition for comment at the end of 2001 
(RM-10354) and it is awaiting action by the Commission. The ARRL followed 
up with a proposal in March 2002 to significantly expand CW privileges for 
new licensees, and the FCC also has taken the ARRL's petition under 
advisement. So something good may come out of all this. Who knows, some new 
hams even may take up contesting!

And yes, I did receive some nasty e-mails alleging character weakness on my 
part for proposing a further watering down of our hobby's requirements. But 
I'd rather see a growing group of committed hobbyists working the HF bands 
than a declining group satisfied with the status quo.

Message-ID: <20021125171539.79791.qmail@web13604.mail.yahoo.com>

A lot of us rely on DOS for our contest logging.  According to Microsoft's
policies, all support for DOS and Windows 95 ended on 31 December 2001 and
product end-of-life follows one year later:

  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle.mspx

Of course, this doesn't mean much, since as long as we have DOS floppies and
PCs that can load them, we can continue to build DOS-based logging systems.

Has anyone experimented with any of these DOS replacements (in a contest
environment)?  I thought that DR-DOS had some sort of 

  http://www.freedos.org/
  http://www.drdos.com/
  http://www-3.ibm.com/software/os/dos/

My recollection is that DR-DOS had some sort of networking support built-in.

I think is very simple, if you dont get a report it is not a valid
contact  for the Dxcc awards and others, remember that a large % of the
contacts are just people working you knowing that they could get a QSL
card if they want to.
 Maybe if we could add the name...(It will kill the rate but illmake it
so much personal,)
 more people would be interested .

well in the future as dgital modes replaces CW, we could exchange all
meaningful info, including a picture of your antennas, shack and a
family portrait including your dog (optional)
this way you can really say that you have "friends all over'



Don?t change it...

Can't argue with this.  I thought you reduced it to "E" but had sped up
the
code to 248WPM thereby sending the signal report so fast that the RF
never
got past the TR relay.

That can happen, you know.

Well, there is still Windows 98.

Anyway, MSDOS hasnt really changed significantly in many years, so why is 
it important?

Hardware compatibility is a much more important issue for most of us...ISA 
slots are all but gone, etc.  What do we do with our good 'ol DVP's?

Hello:

Summary of propagation conditions for both CQ WW contest weekends (SSB and CW).

Prior to the CQ WW SSB contest weekend of October 26-27, 2002, sunspot group 99 
(NOAA 0162) dominated the solar flare activity.  Several halo coronal mass 
ejections (CMEs) were observed on October 24 and 25, and from October 24 
onward, 
high-speed solar wind streams swept past the Earth, triggering geomagnetic K-
index readings as high as 7.  This resulted in an Ap of 32 on both contest 
days.  
On the first day, the observed sunspot count was 130, with an associated 10.7 
cm 
flux index of 158, and a background X-ray level of B5.4 on the first day and 
B6.0 on the second day.  Thankfully, no flares occurred during the SSB contest 
weekend.  Polar paths were fair to poor, while High-, Mid-, and Low-latitude 
paths were generally good.

Amazingly, a rocky week also preceded the CQ WW CW contest weekend of November 
23-24, 2002.  The week started out with two M-class flares, and on November 19, 
a partial halo CME left the Sun, followed by a faint full halo CME on November 
20.  Solar wind speeds increased to 700 km/s in the night between November 21 
and 22.  The magnetic component of the IMF stream turned negative (south), 
causing very high geomagnetic storming by November 22 and early November 23, 
with a peak of 7 in the K-index.  Thankfully, things settled down later on the 
first contest day.  The observed sunspot count was 133 over the weekend, with a 
10.7 cm flux of 148 on November 23, and 146 on November 24.  The background X-
ray level was B5.9 on the first day, and B4.1 on the second.  A small Kp spike 
occurred again on the second day, but did not seem to degrade most mid- and low-
latitude paths.  Polar paths were generally fair.

What were your experiences on the air?  Which bands suffered?  Which were the 
best for you?  How did the contest weekends this year compare with past years?  
Do you have any comments about propagation and band conditions for this year?  
I'll summarize your comments and include them in the CQ Propagation column.  

Thank you.

I had the shock of my life to learn from Kantronics that not only do they
not sell the KAM any more, they no longer service the broken one I have.

Nowhere in the DXCC rules does it require a signal report to be exchanged.
In order to have a valid contact, one other piece of information besides
the callsign must be exchanged.  It could be anything - a grid square, a
name, etc.

I have submitted cards for 50 MHz and 144 MHz QSO's for DXCC that just
listed a grid square, no signal report, and they were credited to my
totals just fine. 

Contest rules may be more specific.  A signal report is supposed to be
required for CQWW but none is required for Sweepstakes or NAQP.

Paul,

The signal report gives the receiving operator something to grab hold of
... in marginal conditions hearing "5NN" tells me that the next characters
following are the zone and not part of the call sign.  In poor conditions
this can be a big help.  Let's keep the signal report as a requirement.
And please send it next contest!

Well, you can buy a new 'kam xl' or use your sound card and any of the
many programs (some of which are free) out there that do all sorts of
different modes.  Sound cards are also the replacement for the dvp.

My guess is they figured that 

1) you screwed up on the exchange
2) QRM obliterated it
3) they, themselves missed it due to fatigue

In any case, they adapted, logging the (almost as unimportant part)
zone, and moved on. (I use, albeit infrequently, the zone as sort of a 
checksum on the prefix - it has saved my butt a few times)

CQWW is a rate contest so any "meaningful" exchange slows things down.  
The "599" is a sort of synchronizing sound - in QRM it lets one's 
internal audio filter (that listens for tone frequency and quality, 
fist, etc.) "lock" on the signal before the zone part comes.  The RST 
is required on DXCC QSL cards I believe - you want those folks to lie?

Tradition plays a role as well - folks are used to it.  There's nothing 
wrong with that...

John, No call? And yes you are trying to water it down to the point that
anyone who wants a license can get it and then you will have your numbers,
but a number of people who do not value their license or the hobby. Then
watch the chaos on the bands. Is that what you really want? Not me, I hope

I guess this means you have about a month to go to Micro$oft'$ web $ite and
download any remaining drivers or other add-ons for MS DOS & Windows 95.  I
guess it's just too much bother for Micro$oft to simply leave those pages
alone and unchanged (how dare we consumers continue to use older computer
technology in terms of hardware and software, don't we know better?, he
mutters sarcastically)

Digital Research's DR-DOS (also known as Novell DOS, since Novell owned
Digital Research for awhile) versions 6 & 7 were equivalent to or better
than MS-DOS 5.x & 6.x for networking support; certainly no reason to suspect
that it's been removed.  Same with IBM PC-DOS v.6. and higher.  And don't
forget about OS/2, if you can still find it somewhere; much of the time, the
OS/2 DOS compatibility box was better than the one(s) in Win 9x --
application and hardware dependant, of course.

Argh. Here we go again.

Used to be the only way to get a fuel injected engine was to build one. Now, 
most cars have them. Has that degraded the sport of auto racing? I think it 
has just raised the bar.

Used to be record M/S scores in CQ WW were in the 4Meg range, now they have 
doubled. Did computers, packet and digitally enhanced radios ruin the sport? 
I think they raised the bar.

The only certainty in life is change. The hobby will evolve just as HDTV will 
eventually eliminate conventional TV. Is this bad? Depends on if you watch TV 
much or not. 

Bitter lemons are the prelude to refreshing lemonade.

Ok
 
Ok Ill forward an email that I responded to Paul, where he corrected me
already so I wont get 100 other emails saying that Im wrong

 
 
 
Hi Felipe,
 
>I think is very simple, if you dont get a report it is not a valid
>contact  for the Dxcc awards and others,
 
Sorry, but you are misinformed.  No minimum report, or indeed any
report whatsoever, is needed on QSL cards for any ARRL award.
 
 
I guess that most of the world is as misinformed as me so at the end is
the same result.
 
 
You will probably know that neither ARRL Field Day nor Sweepstakes
have signal reports.
 
Yes I do, but then a again are different contests and they attrack a
different crowd.....
A crowd that?s less everyday and Field day is not really a contest.
 
If you are unsure, please check with ARRL.
 
>Don?t change it...
 
Why?  Do you think that CQWW is perfect and could not possibly be
improved, even by making RST optional?
 
Too globalized of an idea... CQWW is not perfect,  we will have to
consider them separately and if we are going to make changes to it , let
them be meaningful ones that will attract newcomers.
 
I think everyone knows that everyday there are less amateurs world wide,
we wont get more qsos shorting the time of them, we get more qsos
getting more people on.
 
With all the attention going to computers and data is very hard to
believe that its going to grow. In fact I don?t think that it will
happen, I think that all the growth we need is already in tens of
thousands of Technician type amateurs all over the world
That don?t know the thrill of low band Dx ing and contesting .. if you
ask me lets merge some of this contests into one and its going to bring
growth at all levels.
 
Just picture this:
 
Its CQWW 2005 and the Bavarian team has installed another weapon a 5
meter dish for EME  from CN8 they also have a Six meter 4 yagi stack
towards europe.
 
What they don?t count on is that the team from HC8 now has a super
system that will probably yield them with  qso?s with thousands of JA?s
from 6 to 2 meters.  
 
All over the world there are teams that will bring their best Vhf and
microwave guys to exceed in this categories most of these new guys have
never operated the low bands

 
I can be all day here talking about the possibilities of such activity,
suddenly contest expeditions to rare countries can be combined and have
many more just because its easier to share the cost with more operators.
If you think about it, its us low banders that don?t like to be compared
with the VHF likes that don?t do anything exciting and usually don?t
know CW. 
We will still have multiple categories and people can choose what they
want to operate
We just have to use basic business principles here
 more market share
the more cross sell you can do to them. Get more people ni the activity
and they will get more involved and their competitive spirit will kick
in. Remember our competition comes from the dilution created by all
these new things to do. (computers and playstations)
 
Sorry for the Bandwidth, but I just could see another conversation
regarding futile changes to the CQWW.

Nowhere in the DXCC rules does it require a signal report to be
exchanged.
In order to have a valid contact, one other piece of information besides
the callsign must be exchanged.  It could be anything - a grid square, a
name, etc.
 
I have submitted cards for 50 MHz and 144 MHz QSO's for DXCC that just
listed a grid square, no signal report, and they were credited to my
totals just fine. 
 
Contest rules may be more specific.  A signal report is supposed to be
required for CQWW but none is required for Sweepstakes or NAQP.

It was added to the country files almost four weeks before the contest!

30 October 2002 (CTY-1205)

* Added R1ANC in CQ Zone 29 to callsign list for Antarctica, CE9. 
* Added FO5RK to callsign list for Austral Is., FO/a. 
* Added K4BEV in CQ Zone 4 and KL7GLL in CQ Zone 5 to callsign list for United
States, K. 
* Removed K8FC in Zone 5 from country file - he's back in Zone 4. 
* Added K2G to callsign list for Guam, KH2. 
* Added KD3RF/VE2 and VA3NA/2 (both in CQ Zone 2) and VY2MGY/3 to callsign list
for Canada, VE.

I don't remember doing anything to point the QSO to KH2. I thought that was
in the new cty file I downloaded last Friday.

And the all-time winner for lousy contest calls has to be ... K2G.  When
queried, the op said KH2, but of course nobody knew to put it in the

Yes and no.  I failed to install the new file I downloaded before the
contest, and after working K2G and getting zero points, I deleted the Q,
installed the new file and re-logged him.  he came up right, so SOMEbody DID
do their homework.  They also put AA6TT in zone 5 which I thought was cool.

I thought the callsign K2G made sense for other reasons.  I think a shorter
callsign is always better than a longer one, and I guess the "G" stands for
"Guam."

This is a theory that sounds plausible, but doesn't hold up in
practice.  I know, because I've had 750 contest QSOs in the last
month, without giving reports, except to 4 stations who asked for
it.  None of them needed it - they all got the zone - perhaps they
just couldn't adjust to the concept of a CQWW QSO without hearing
"fini" or 5NN.

Let's accept that RS(T) is optional in practice.  Those that want
to send it can continue as if nothing ever changes.

I'll gladly send 59(9) to anyone who asks for a report.

Perhaps not, because I was running most of the time, so many of them
would have known I was not sending 5NN.

I think a few others would have asked for a report, except that they
didn't have anything convenient in their keyer memories.  I use an
external keyer and paddle all the time, so it's easier for me to react
when I hear something unusual.

Yes, that's probably what happened most of the time.

>CQWW is a rate contest so any "meaningful" exchange slows things down.  
>The "599" is a sort of synchronizing sound

Yes, but I believe that's only because we all expect it.  If you
don't expect it, you won't miss it.  When I'm running and you call
me, I send your callsign - you hear it and you know the important
bit comes next.

>The RST is required on DXCC QSL cards I believe - you want those folks to lie?

No need for anyone to lie.  I've had specific confirmation from ARRL
that no signal report of any kind whatsoever is required on QSL cards
for any ARRL award.

>Tradition plays a role as well - folks are used to it.  There's nothing 
>wrong with that...

That's right, and there's nothing wrong with paper logging either.
It's just that I don't do it any more.  All I've suggested is that,
in CQWW, RST should be recognised as an optional field.  I would
prefer not to send it, but I'll gladly give 59(9) to anyone who
feels they would prefer to hear it directly from me.

But when the callers adopt your method, *you* lose the sync bit.  They send
nothing but 599XX.
Since I do a lot of running I like to hear the "599".

I'm still puzzled why someone takes so vigourous a stand on so small an
issue.

WW is what it is. A rate fest. Most people are happy with that. It's a
proven formula for success. Remember, at its core, this contest is designed
to be as fun as possible for as many people as possible. The idea is to sell
magazines, remember? (Nothing is wrong with that. All sponsorship has as its
core the promotion of the host organization.)

I can accept WW for what it is and have an absolute blast doing so. I'd
probably have just as much fun if the report was more complicated, but that
would hurt participation at the lower levels of contesting commitment: the
casual ops who may or may not send in a log but who are so important to the
high levels of participation this contest enjoys.

WW works. I have yet to see evidence that a change in this area would have
anything but negative consequences.

Don't forget that the hard-core contester is only a part of WW's market.

This just seems like a lot of effort for not a lot of issue.

If you hadn't sent your zone, they'd have had that too, since the computer
already knows it.  Except for a few contests (ARRL Sweepstakes being the shining
exception which comes to mind) all that needs to be correctly copied is your
callsign (and the cluster probably already gave them that).  The notion that
contesting is a test of operator copying skill is as transparent as the emperors

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Multi Op or  just "Control Op"
Message-ID: <3DE2FB22.1050807@gte.net>

OK ... have got a question for folks who like to interpret rules.


I have a licensed YL no-code Technician friend, who has shown some 
interest in Contesting.  I'm trying to get her to do some SSB contest 
operating from my station.  I don't have much (if any) interest in 
operating those Contests.  Since she can't operate HF without me acting 
as "control operator", if we do enter a contest, would it be as


1)  Single op (she does all the operating, logging, etc.)
2)  Multi op (I'd just do the usual "control op" functions, but not do 
any actual operating myself)


Obviously, if I assisted in any way with any operating functions, that 
would automatically make us multi-op, which I'm comfortable with.  I'm 
just curious to know, if she does all the work, and I'm just watching 
and monitoring, would that count as a "true" single op operation?

Thanks, Ron  WD4AHZ

Emporor's New Clothes (ENC)?  My all-time favorite analogy for
"Dilbert-esque" executive directives.  However, there is no such directive,
nor is anyone trying to lead us astray.

Contesting IS a test of operator copying skill.

How can I make that assertion?  Because the evaluation of performance is
whether it's correct or not in the log.

The debate over what tools the operator should use in copying is a different
discussion.  If the operator does not use the tools available to him
properly, he may log the information incorrectly.

Just plain old making a mistake without any outside influence actually
occurs.  This phenomena leads to errors in the log.

Using what is posted on packet without confirmation is poor operating -
plain and simple.  Using what the operator determines from using
SuperCheckPartial without confirming it - is again, poor operating.  Both of
these lead to errors in the log.

You'd be amazed at how many errors actually occur in just the callsigns.
Most Uniques are believed to be errors in copying rather than true Unique
callsigns.  (Most - not all!)

Before we seek to make it more of a test, we collectively need to recognize
that we all have not even come close to mastering the "test" at this level.

And the urgency really isn't apparent to me, because up through Win98SE, 
DOS is still available and accessible at startup.  I am a lot more 
concerned about the disappearance of ISA slots and the impending ditto for 
serial and parallel ports.

Jim,

First ran DR-Dos when it was introduced as an alternative to MS-Dos.

Last week I couldn't find the MS-Dos 6.22 disks, so I downloaded the latest 
DR-Dos (ver 7.xx)  used it to run TR for the contest.

Absolutely no problem & defaulted to a dual-boot system to boot.

Adding a set of DR-Dos installation disks to my "tool kit".

Yes!  Try to find a card with a PCI slot that will do two or more RS-232
serial connections.  I think there are a few out there, but they're very
rare.

This seems very popular on the Debian ham list:

When I last tried it I couldn't get cwkeyer working.  I note a new parallel
port CW module has been written, haven't tried it yet.

Good point.  (and going to Linux doesn't fix this)  

That said, there are a LOT of parts for the current - and past - line of 
computers
kicking around.  Hams have proven awfully good at keeping obsolete equipment
going; ask any of the thousands still using TS-930s, Drake C-lines, SB-220s,
SB-102s, etc..  I expect anyone who wants to keep contesting with DOS/ISA
will be able to do so for at least another decade, if not much longer.

What's the URL?  (I tried this a few months back but couldn't find it)

Does this end of support by Microsoft mean that someone can put
MS DOS 6.xx on the web page for a free download?

Finding one that does 2 serial ports using a shared IRQ is easy.  I use the
CompUSA "house brand" at home under Windows, but there are others.

However, finding one that has separate IRQs for each port is much more
difficult.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
Message-ID: <200211261248_MC3-1-1C5B-7031@compuserve.com>

I didn't hear EI5DI this weekend but if I had, I would have asked
for the RST. It's part of the exchange and, since Paul has admitted
he did not send it, sorry but I feel the entry should be penalised or 
perhaps excluded altogether.

The vast majority of reports are always going to be 599, especially
in a rate contest like CQWW. The fact that almost no-one sends
other than 599, no matter what the circumstance, can I think be blamed
on K1EA, since CT led the way with computer logging and it doesn't let 
you log anything but 599 as the sent exchange. Interestingly, when 
EI5DI was developing his SD contest logger, he added the ability to
log a sent report other than 599 at my request. That doesn't seem to 
be consistent with his campaign to get rid of RS(T) altogether.

This weekend there were three signals, all Europeans, that I found 
so disgusting I sent them a report of 595. Maybe their rigs had just 
developed a fault, but I suspect they like to use a bad note to 
clear a nice big frequency around them. I'll be manually editing 
these sent reports into the Cabrillo log. In the future I'd like to see
RSTs
(and zones) cross-checked in the CQWW contests, and it would seem
to me that if a station receives a lot of reports of a bad note, it could
be
argued their dirty signal was causing excessive QRM and this could
be grounds for penalising the entry. 

>From a US perspective, getting the zone right is not really an issue, 
but my .zon file has just over 100 entries in it and that works out at 
about 6 percent of Ws that weren't in the zone as defaulted by CT. 
I'm hoping that one year the checking software will be enhanced 
to check received zone number. This could result in huge score 
reductions for some entrants outside the US!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Serial Parallel port cards.
Message-ID: <001801c29577$c0dde690$d3096cd8@jallen>

There are a couple of manufactures that I know of that still make them.  I
have found the Lava 2SP-PCI sets up and works well in DOS, W95, W98, and XP,
which I am using now.  As the model number implies it adds 2 Serial and 1
Parallel port using a PCI slot.  They are at www.lavalink.com

I understand that others have had good luck with www.starteck.com, I wish
that I could say the same.  Mine never did work right and I ended up
replacing it with the Lava.

I have no connection whatever with either of these outfits, other than being
a satisfied customer of one and having bad luck with the other.

It is not just a matter of loading the right computer data table...
truncated calls are a little confusing.  Folks get used to longer calls.  In
Canada, when I used VY1A, friends wanted to put the "J" in the call and
others not used to hearing VY1JA, expected a letter after the A...  at least
the normal 2x2 they are used to hearing.

Other Canadians using totally unusual calls like CK7Z do not have that
problem, but instead may be asked where they are. (Going back to entering
computer data... not your fault, Jim)

I find 1x1 calls confusing on first glance, and am sure that I am not the
only one.  My goodness, with a location advantage like Guam in the first
place, does anyone there NEED a 1x1 call to help with the contests?

And yet, for most, contesting is about using every tool within the rules to
get the highest possible score.  I hope the missing letter helped, Guam.
:o)

Hi Zack, not rare, but in the expensive category. I bought one about 3
months ago that has 4 serial outputs using 1 IRQ.

And for Pete, there are plenty of motherboards availbable which have
ISA slots. 
Try a peek at http://www.jdr.com. I've got 2 just sitting on the
shelf. Around 400 mHz with the cpu which came with it if I remember,
but posibility they could be speeded up.

Think I paid about $89 for them. Identical twins.

Here is where the boneyards come in handy. I've forgotten the name,
but I have an old
card from back when you had to have a HD and floppy controller on the
card. It also has 2 LPT ports, and 4 comm ports in ISA. All of the
above can be enabled or disabled and there are various combinations
which allow you to seperately configure the comm ports.

If anyone interested, I'll dig it out of the desk and post more.

AD1C mentions the CompUSA house brand mother board is set up for two 
Comm Ports with unique IRQs...that is nice but I want more....

What I am wondering is - were there mass produced PC's which 
automatically came with 3 or 4 comm ports?  To me those are what I wish 
every position had at my place - this is kind of a re-hash - but in the 
past we have talked about who sells cards to add the extra comm ports... 
did a manufacturer IBM/Dell/Gatway/Whoever produce four comm port 
machines with non conflicting IRQs on as contract for some industry?

With the older machines about to become un-supported my Microsoft, IF 
there was an industry that had purchased computers in bulk that had 4 
comm ports on them I would love to meet one of their Sustems guys and 
slip him a greenback or two.... undoubtedly this stuff is going to be 
replaced (if it hasn't already) and not to have to sub contract out 
adding the extra comm ports to a two port machine would be just ducky - 
I am more than content with DOS based logging software - I have not been 
sold on Windows based stuff at all - as far as I can see the DOS based 
programs do all I could ever want and I have some scores to prove that!

1 - I need a comm port to interface with the network (even when I am 
single op I have two computers running for redundancy and my ease at 
SO2R - not to mention it makes an excellent back up - the one time 
recently I did not do this the logging computer crashed and I lost the 
first night of the ARRL Ten Meter contest due to it)

2 - I need a comm port to interface with the network (ptional - can go 
LOOP network and only need one for netowrking - but it seems the LINK 
option always boots right up versus the loop where it takes work to set 
up system parameters in the autoexec files wheras I have a box full of 
null modem adaptors!)

3 - I need a comm port to interface with the packet spot sucker - this 
can be on one computer in the network since once it gets into one 
machine that info is shared through the network

4 - I need a comm port to interface with the rig - this is as far as I 
am concerned MANDATORY - if you have not automated your station yet - DO 
IT!  No more tranmistting into the wrong antenna and hosing the linear 
at ) Dark 30.  I actually switch the antennas by driving the automated 
boxes directly from the transciever so I can enjoy the switching even 
when the computer is off)

... TO ME an ideal find would be a computer like a low end Pentium 100 
some odd megaherz with 4 comm ports ready to be used.... as I mentioned 
at some positions in a multi-multi we can get by with two minimum (rig 
and network) - but I like the idea of finding a half dozen of these soon 
to be extinct puppies looking for a contest home where they only have to 
compute for a few weekends each year!

ANYONE KNOW OF AN INDUSTRY THAT USED SUCH A MACHINE (bunch of them) that 
I should look at as a possible source for "ideal" station ocmputers?

I doubt it.  In fact, I suspect if someone put any old Micro$oft software
out on the web without their permission, even something as old, "obsolete,"
and unsupported as MS DOS 6.x (let alone stuff older than that), you'd be
hearing from Micro$oft'$ legal staff.

Remember, they still "own" the software, you don't and never have.  Ever
read the license agreement?  Right -- that's a license, not a sale.

And I'm curious about that link for DR-DOS too.  CP/M lives on!

Does this end of support by Microsoft mean that someone can put

If the program is to be ported to Linux it would be best to start now

I am using TR-Log in a DOS vm under Linux.
Parallel port keying seems to work fine to me.

The fact that almost no-one sends other than 599, no matter what the 
circumstance, can I think be blamed on K1EA, since CT led the way with computer 
logging and it doesn't let you log anything but 599 as the sent exchange.

Dave,

I'm not sure how long you've been around, but I know that long before the PC 
was invented, we had "5NN T5" programmed into memory keyers sending the same 
exchange.  Never mind that the CQ Log Sheets had space for other than a 599 
report, we never sent a different one anyway.

K1EA likely recognized that no one ever sent other than 5NN, so why complicate 
things?  He certainly didn't start this revolution.

Maybe WB4VVF is to blame?  (Any other OT's remember that callsign?)

Jim,

I would suggest that you don't need 4 com ports any longer and should
consider using Ethernet instead for your CT network.  Granted, it is a bit
more trouble to set up, but once it's working, you're done.

The Ethernet card uses one interrupt, so that leaves plenty for other
activities.

So, those computers with two ports are able to handle your rig interfacing
and also connecting a TNC or some other serial device.

To run Ethernet with CT's DOS version, you need K1TTT's NETTSR program which
you can download from his website.

If you can run Windows, you can use CTWin which has built-in network
capability.  I understand several multi-ops have recently changed to using
CTWin very successfully.

N5NJ

Speak for yourself, white man.  Kemo Sabe been sending occasional 59(something
other than 9) for crappy signals, as required by the rules.  Some of those
chirpy/drifty CO signals can cover three bands during a single exchange.  :-)

As our PT5A CQ CW M/M team members return home to USA and Finland, we wish
to thank all we worked, especially those who helped contribute to our 66
countries on Top Band in the contest. An amazing feat by Jeff K1ZM, from so
very far away from everywhere, and excellent antenna construction by the
PT5A team.

And we are very proud to say that we were able to develop our score WITHOUT
the use of packet.  I guess our old ears still work and that a DX CONTEST
may still sometimes represent actual DXing.

Many thanks to our very special Brazilian hosts, Sergio PP5JR/ZX5J and Oms
PY5EG, and the great group of Brazilian ham friends there in Southern Brazil
that contributed to our mutual success, in so many ways.

In closing, most of you are probably unaware that Oms had major surgery 10
days ago, and is now recovering, very well, at home.  Many of you know Oms
personally, and the major contributions he has made to contesting, and
especially in South America.  I'm sure Oms would welcome a "get well soon
note" from any so inclined:

              py5eg@inepar.com.br

And I hope to hear you all from Ascension Island next week, including ARRL

Anyone know if Hy-Gain made a dual band 10/15 or 12/17 yagi pre 1995? I
have a 14' boom , 3L yagi with a single trap on each element side. It
looks like a hy-gain trap, but the guy who gave it to me said it was a
tribander-cant see that with only one trap/element side. The DE is 159" on
a side, with 32" after the trap- any ideas on a model?
Thx and happy thanksgiving to the list!

Hi,

I found a company that sells them :

Pretty expensive though.

I have no connection with this company, just have an old catalogue of them

That's what I thought happened when you called me.
And it made me hesitate, which probably cancelled
any time saved by not sending the 5NN "sync pulse."

Icom points out as a benefit that "there are no extra filters to buy" but
instead of being a comfort to me, I am scared that I'll be stuck with

We've been using Ethernet at KC1XX for the last couple (few) years.  One 
advantage is that all computers go to a central hub, there is no daisy 
chain.  Only a computer which is temporarily off the network will miss a 
QSO -- it doesn't break the chain like a bad bulb in those old-fashioned 
string Christmas lights.  Plus the implications around serial ports is obvious.

Ethernet cards are throw-away items these days ($10 for a 10MB card).  Good 
luck finding a 2-serial port expansion card for that kind of money.

Hi Henry;

Sounds like U have a DB-1015 by the original Hy-Gain company. Designed to
stack above the 204BA 20M yagi. One of our former local CDXA members
(K2SD) had one in Charlotte, NC, and it & 204BA 10' below survived
Hurricane Hugo w/ 108 MPH winds in 1989.
 
Check www.w7fg.com for a good reprint manual.

Okay, that's it - I _am_ an OT... not only do I remember 'VVF, but I also have
an Accu-Keyer & an Accu-Memory somewhere in the basement of my Dad's
house back in W7.

If my recollection is correct, one could program a pause in a message of
the Accu-Memory, so inserting a non-599 report was entirely possible,
although it would force one to manually insert the RST every time.

To help ensure they don't do as well as they otherwise could?

I already had the US & zone 5 mults, so just kept tuning past K2G.

They may have worked zone 24, but they probably didn't get a VR.

Brett,

I think that either your feeble old memory or mine has mixed up the 
capabilities of other keyers with the accu memory.

There was an Accu-Memory II that was only available in a commercial version 
that may have had features such as this, but I don't believe that the original 
was that sophisticated.

I thought that such pauses for input were started in keyers such as the 
venerable KC Keyer and some from AEA.

I'll agree.  1x1 calls like k2g or k1b are probably not good in
contests.  There are a couple reasons, first not all contesters are
dxers who follow all the expedition lists, and second, they require a
special update of country files so that logging software knows they are
multipliers.  Trying to get the word out that some non location specific
call like that is something special takes time and is bound to miss lots
of contest participants.

I operated all weekend at PJ2T and saw K2G spotted repeatedly via
packet and it never occured me while operating there that it was
anything other than the USA (spots for KC1XX and others kept popping
up too).  So I never bothered to chase him down.  Thanks to AH2R for
making sure we didn't miss the Guam multiplier!  No mistaking
that callsign, for sure.

I have a HYGain 1015DB. While it ain't the best antenna I have on those
bands, it has worked a lot of stuff. It would probably perform better if I
didn't have it sandwiched between a 205BAS and a 402CD with only about 5
feet separating the 1015 from the two antennas above and below.

I think I have the manual someplace if you need some info.

Someone commented earlier that Hams collect stuff-They're correct! I just
found three new ISA cards and software I had stored away. Cards are
manufactured by Digi International and provide two DB9 serial ports.
Remember using one sometime ago on my old shack PC and it worked well. Now
all my machines are have PCI slots so these cards are just taking up space.

If you're interested in the cards contact me at nn9k@arrl.net and we'll work
something out.

I just have to add this little fillip to the previous thread.

My wife was listening this a.m. to "Dr. Laura" on a local AM station. A 
10-yr-old boy called in to complain that because his mother watched Dr. 
Laura every day he couldn't do something he wanted to. Dr. Laura explained 
that his mother could not be watching her because she (Dr. Laura) only has 
a radio show. The boy insisted his mother "watched" Dr. Laura. After a 
while it became clear the boy had no idea what Dr. Laura was referring to 
when she used the word "radio" and that for him the notion of "radio" was a 
foreign concept.

I think I know what you're getting at John, however, at one point in time, the 
act of listening did involve watching some very vivid images.  This 'watching' 
was all done via the listeners imagination.

I used to build the Accu-Keyers to sell (even sold a CMOS version), and 
also built three or four of the Accu-Memories.  If my feeble old mind 
remembers correctly, you could pause for any length of time while you 
were programming it to make a word space, and then continue.  Maybe 
that's what Brett is thinking of?
Loved to watch that digital display while it was playing back.  :-)

Kinda depended upon how many exchanges you had... if you wanted to prepare 
a 2nd exchange, you could default it to 599 while using the other exchange 
to pause for a hand-entered RST.

Over the years, I probably built 5 Accu-Keyers, 3 CMOS Accu-Keyers, and one 
Accu-Memory.  I believe that may have been the VERY FIRST keyer ever 
designed which offered automatic character spacing... a REAL boon to CW 
ops... it's successor was the KC Keyer and then the CMOS SUPER KEYER 
line... now sold by Idiom Press.

Drew White/K9CW's micromputer-based contest keyer (8748) had that feature.
You simply punched the memory keypad number to start the message and press
the appropriate 's' number on the keypad to automatically fill it in.  If no
second number is pressed, the RST goes out as 5NN.

His keyer was featured in January 1981 Ham Radio Magazine.  I built it back
then.  I used it for a number of years.  It was a great keyer.

There was definitely a follow-up project to the infamous Accu-keyer 
article that was a memory add-on.  It was also published in QST and 
used 2102 devices or something.

Not sure what it was called, but Accu-Memory sounds right.
I built one and it actually worked...for a while.

Yep.  I used to be able to recognize my friend Rag Otterstad's fist, and
knew that OZ8RO was coming next.  NOW, it's a blast of dots, and oops, it's
not Rag in Denmark, but now again LA5HE in Norway!

And, of course, most of us can remember when a VR2 was about to send a Zone
32 from Fiji!  But there you go again, VR2 has moved to VS6 and Zone 24.

Jeez, I guess we're all just going to have to get our code readers out.  And
maybe "ask" what the country is.

Short call signs are GREAT.  I truly hope we'll hear more of them.

Or you could set the computer to send 569 or 579 or 439?  All
signals are not "5nn" to be sure.  Just as many are 579 and some
are even 439.  It amazes me how many times someone asks me to
repeat my report 2 or 3 times then sends "5nnxx." If we are going
to send a canned report, why not send something other than 5nn? 
If the report is the "thing", any report we send has to be right,
right?  Just so the other station copies what we send to make it
a legal exchange.

Message-ID: <000901c29686$bbadaa60$0100a8c0@joe>

Hi,

Have decided that for Phone SS next year, voice keyer is NOT an option. It's
mandatory.

What do people like? What sound card DVK programs will take CQ and other
start commands from TR?

What are the options for hooking to radio? To two radios?

I can figure out how to home brew a connection, but what commercial versions
are there besides the West Mountain Radio units? If you have one of those,
what do you do for the second radio?

I believe the Accu-Memory allowed you to pause for manual entry of other 
data, and then it'd pick back up and continue sending from that point. This 
is something the Basic Accu-Keyer didn't offer.

I have been using SBDVP for the last 4-5 years. It is designed to work with
TRlog and therefore integrates very well. The quality of the audio is
absolutely superb. Nobody can tell the difference between the recording and
my actual voice.
You can find  the reference to SBDVP on the official TRlog site.

Being still on the preferred side of 40, I'm afraid it's your memory that's 
off, mate.  ;^)

The Accu-Memory would accept the pause & after manually keying something,
one could mash a button & it would then continue with the rest of the contents
of that memory.  This was the Accu-Memory as described in the '70-something
QST article(s).  This punk kid was in heaven once he got his hands on one...

In day-to-day operation, I would use it to insert RSTs & in some kinda domestic
contest I kinda sorta still remember, it was a great way to insert a serial 
number
in the long exchange.  Rather vague recollection, but the Gestapo comes to mind
here for some reason...

The display ripping along was also really cool, as noted by N4BP.

The AEA MM-1 could generate serial numbers automagically, though I'm not
sure if that was the first commercial product to do so or not - though I 
should,
having worked for them in the past.

Though nothing to do with this thread, my thanks to PJ2T for calling me
this year.

Many here will recall every year VR2BG whines about trying to work
zones 7, 8 & 9 through the JA Wall.

It's even more difficult with low power, so I've resorted to CQing more &
hanging out in the portion of the band where the oxygen masks
automatically appear.

I think I was only able to work HP1XVH S&P, otherwise everything else
called me.  Thank you all!

Anyone going anywhere interesting should remember that when you're
running JAs, you're probably being called by juicy that you will not be
able to hear unless you have the JAs standby every once in a while.

Happy Thanksgiving all!

I'm looking for opinions on what the preferred logging software is within the 
DX and contesting community.  Not contest software, but general purpose 
multifunction logging software.  The front runner used to be DXBase, and I also

 Please send any feedback direct pro or con on any alternatives out there.

The signal reports given in 1959 DX Contests had variety.  One page of my 
log shows W3CPB getting reports that ranged from 339 to 589.  Also I notice 
that the reports I gave out were biased toward 579.  Since I had no S-meter 
my reports were very subjective.  In 1959 all of the W3CPB operation was 
hunt and peck so how the competition compared signal-strength-wise was a 
useful output.  If that isn't clear , I did not get everybody on the first 
call.   I don't have any logs covering the transition to computer 
logging,  '59 is the most recent data point.

I noticed that there seem to be a number of folks that have good memories of
older memory keyers.  I have one that is nearly completed from a commercial
kit of parts, and is an older project, for which I need information to
complete and operate.

It has two circuit boards, 2-5/8 by 4-1/2 inches, using discrete components
and no "keyer" chip.  It has a selector switch with 5 positions and two
slide toggle switches both DPDT, but only used as SPST.

"GCH" is the only identification on anything, and is in the etching on the
circuit boards.

Anyone who knows about this please respond directly to jallen@internorth.com

Thanks,

J.

Brett,
   I agree! When I was operating CQWW in China way back when, I noticed the
same thing.
  BUT!!!!!!!
When you ask the JAs to standby , THEY DO!!

I used a Global Memory Foam Chair in PEI this past weekend that I bought at
Staples ($300 US in their catalog.) It is the most comfortable chair I have
ever used (and I have the Herman Miller Aeron chair ($700) in the home
office/shack.)

I love the feature that lets you tilt forward and lock the chair while
having the back support work in that position. I hardly felt the need to
stretch my legs.

Message-ID: <001b01c297e0$ea950b60$d2096cd8@jallen>

Further to my request for information to complete and operate the memory
keyer kit,
I was asked to post what chips are used on the 2-5/8 x 4-1/2 inch boards.
Here is the list:
Please remember that I have a hard time seeing such small print these
days... :o)

Board 1
7474, 3
7400, 3
7410, 1
NE-555, 1  Old friend, timer.

Board 2
7493, 3
7402, 1
7473, 1
2102a, 3  look like memory chips
21022a, 1

There are a set of 10 wires that connect from board to board, labeled "A"
through "J".

These cards are professionally etched and bear the identification, "GCH",
but the keyer is a kit.  Some wires are dangling and it is obviously not
completed, but does not look like it will take a lot to make operational.

Anyone recognize this old one?   Better yet, anyone have information for me
to finish it?

Please answer directly to jallen@internorth.com

Thanks,

J.,
VY1JA

Be sure you really, really want what you are buying, especially if you buy
DX4WIN.  I bought it and later found out that I just didn't ever use it.
When I inquired about selling it to someone who could use it, I was told I
would be taken to court if I did -- Also, the software owner wouldn't honor
it for updating if I did sell it. So, I threw it in the trash.

YMMV

And so do K/W's.  I operate W5RRR from time to time and when I ask for
W-K/VE to standby so I can work some of the DX calling, they DO standby.  If
I screw up and forget to say "QRZ DX Only, Please", then they respond
accordingly. But, that's my fault.  :-)

Definitely sounds like the WB4VVF  AccuKeyer, and AccuMemory from QST ca.
1975/76

I can probably dig up schematics - *probably*

This is really surprising.  I'm a battered survivor of DXBase and their 
lousy support and upgrade policies, and have found a happy home with DX4WIN 
since release 0.97.  I have always found their upgrade policies quite 
generous and their support excellent.  I'm sure the letter of their license 
is as you describe, but then that's true of virtually all software; it sure 
sounds like you got badly crosswise with them to get the full force of it.

J:

I have both the original Accu-Keyer AND the Accu-Memory articles available 
on the QST CDs.

I can print them and mail them to you, OR I can (probably) send you a PDF 
of the screen-captured article(s).

I guess I will weigh in on this one with a vote. I am a DX4WIN user and I am
not happy with the program or the support.

Dale,

You can download a working demo of the program to try out before you buy it.

Why would you decide to buy it without planning to use it?

If you guys are tired of trying expensive programs that don't work the
way you want them too, cost way too much and have lousy tech support,
step up to the new generation of logging software
 
 
DXLAB
 
DXLab is a free software package that can be downloaded from
www.qsl.net/dxlab written by Dave AA6YQ and some helpers, this
constantly evolving software package is FREE.  If you have a problem,
there is plenty of help.  Some nights I have checked out the DXlab
reflector and had 30 or 40 emails in it.
 
Check it out

Not only that, but it's a difficult update to the country files.  Not only 
do I have to add K2G, but I also have to add other K2Gxy callsigns that are 
still USA - CT can't tell the difference between a prefix and a

I had several direct replies on this, thanks!  The firm consensus is KC4/N2TA 
is in
zone 29, at the location that the DX bulletin has reported.

Comments:

44 hour effort from P49V QTH  (sleep:  3 hrs, repairs:  1 hr)

Well, the Great Iguana Shootout of ?02 is history.  Based on initial
reports, it
appears that 3 of the top 4 or 5 in the ?Heavyweight? SOABHP class will be
P40?s.  Jose, CT1BOH, operating from Jacky, P43P?s station, was the clear
and
undisputed champion as P40E.  Jose?s superb score reflects his talent,
stamina
and the value of SO2R done right, as opposed to SO2R done poorly (me) or not
at
all (John, P40W).

This was my third operation from P4, and the second CQWW CW.  Executed the
?Run
and Pass? game plan this year better than last year which turned into ?Run
and
Fumble.?  Low band conditions poor and noisy, with only one European on 160
(CT8T).

Got an e-mail from Steve, N8BJQ, the Monday before contest advising that I?d
won
the CQ WPX CW 02 contest in SOAB HP, a great encouragement and, more
importantly, the penultimate step in my personal goal of winning the world
in
all of what I consider the ?Big Six? (both modes, SOAB HP, of CQWW, CQWPX
and
ARRL DX).  Never mind that four of the victories were 30 years old (XE1IIJ
and
aliases).  Thus, winning this one would have completed the Grand Slam.

It was not to be.  In fact, it wasn?t even close.

Stripping away the difference in hours spent on the air, the major factor in
Jose?s margin of victory was multipliers. John, P40W, and I were roughly
equal
in multipliers while Jose had 100+ more multipliers.  The difference was
SO2R.


I started the contest as ?SO1.5R? (two transceivers, no linear on second
radio).
Plan was to use second radio for passing easy multipliers and finding big
signal multipliers.  Did that reasonably well, although didn?t do much
passing
first day.  Due to antenna switch problems and what turned to be cockpit
problems (yes, the spot switch on the FT1000D stays ON if your keyboard
presses
it), I ended up SO1R for the second half of the contest.

The story is in the stats.  In all, I had a total of 22 second-radio QSO?s,
of
which half were passes from another band or P4/PJ2 local multipliers.  John
presumably had none, but Jose had about 130 second radio multipliers, NOT
INCLUDING passes from other bands.  ALL were multipliers.

My 20 odd second radio contacts were theoretically worth about 300K points,
but
the dark side of that theory is that SO2R done poorly can be negative
influence,
i.e. a tremendous distraction, which manifests itself most notably in less
than
optimum rates on the first radio.

Frankly, on Sunday night, I was about ready to give it up, cede the field to
youth and energy and join the Multi-op ranks as 160M op where I could sleep.
I
could see making a few hundred more QSO?s and a few more multipliers but
could
not envision improvements of the magnitude needed to give the Jose?s of the
world a run for their money.

However, Jose graciously sat down with me Monday night and ran through how
he
does SO2R.  Having ?done? SO2R from the states in 70?s and 80?s, I thought I
knew how to do it.  But doing it at 180-200 per hour rates from DX is a very
different ball game.  In particular, my homemade audio switching doesn?t
hack
it.  Now, thanks to Jose?s tutorial, I can see my way forward to more
improvement and a shot at the win.  Hope springs eternal and wait ?til next
year.

Other than that, as Jose noted the four hours from European to Aruban
sunrise
are notable mostly for their temptation to sleep.  Waiting to hear from the
zone
33 crews.

Blessings and 73 from Aruba, where we?re having a family reunion!  One Happy
Island, Mon!

All,

Wow, what a pile of responses.

After the information was received, and I had a date and name to check, I
found my old 1975 ARRL Handbook.  At first glance it looks like the
Accukeyer, Accumemory set.  YES, it has the NE555, it is used as the audio
oscillator for the keyer speaker.

Because some chips are different, I will need to check it carefully.
Perhaps someone other than WB4VVF made boards or perhaps this is a very
similar keyer offered by someone else.

I will take time to examine the article and see if it is the same one.

Thanks, all, for the leads.  I believe that with this data, I will be able
to get the keyer up and running, because it is either the Accukeyer, or a
clone of some kind, and with the ARRL Handbook, I should be able to work it
out.

I probably missed this, but how in the world did the FCC ever issue
the call? It is clearly against their guidelines, except I guess, for
special events.

Is there an ADIF file that will includes the country info with the rest of
the call info that will run on DXBase for DOS? The ADIF conversion program I
have is C2A.exe dated 10/1/00. When I run this version on my DXBase 5.0 for

I use the excellent LogConv program by KA5WSS.

The ADIF files created by LogConv import without
any problems into my DXBase for DOS database.
(Currently at about 78,000 records for K4RO...)
DXBase derives all of its country info based on
the callsign prefix, as interpreted by the DXBase
Prefix Database.

Tony, the CT conversion does not output country data.  It's expected that 
the logging program can figure this out.  I don't want to have to implement 
a callsign parser.

Now if K1EA wants to integrate the ADIF writer into CT, I could add the 
ARRL country index into the country file.  But I'm not sure I'm willing to 
buy into this, or Ken is.

p.s. CT to ADIF is on version 1.16 dated July 2002 now - check the web site.

Subj:    Phone Sweepstakes


Hi...

   We need your help.  

    During the recent ARRL Phone Sweepstakes you made contact with the 
XYZ Radio Club, Jr located near Anytown.

    XYZ is an amateur radio club just for kids and we had the 
pleasure of making a contact with you using our club call: W1XYZ   We 
had six kids ranging in age from 7 through 14 yrs old participating in 
the contest.  The kids made most of the contacts and did most of the 
logging until they crashed around 0300 local.  They picked back up 
around 0700.

Unfortunately, due to youthful handwriting, a cranky laptop and old 
technology, we lost several entries from the contest.  We have recovered 
most of the "lost" information but a few still need a few holes filled. 
 In most cases the only thing we're missing are the serial numbers from 
the exchange.

Can you confirm our contact and the serial number you provided to us?

Thanks much.

This was the first real contest for XYZ and the kids set some 
challenging goals for themselves:  WAS and a clean sweep.  They just 
missed both because they never heard Nevada.

Hope to work you next year.

73 de W1XYZ

Tnx for the info. What I am trying to do is export my db file from DXBase
5.0 for DOS and import it to a windows logging program. The problem with the
ADIF conversion program I have is that it does not include the mapped
country along with the QSO. What this means is that when I import into
another program, the new program will make certain assumptions of where to
map the country. As an example, the call sign, KP2A, was used at KP1, KP2
and KP5. Will the import map this to just KP2? How will it know where to map
it too other than checking it's country file which most likely will set it
up for KP2.
One program company told me they can import the mapped prefix if it is in
the ADIF file.
Is there a version of ADIF or other conversion program that will allow me to
export my DXBase 5.0 for DOS log file into an ADIF file including the mapped
countries?
LogConv won't take a DXBase DBV file.

It was requested from one of the special event 1x1 callsign coordinators 
like all other 1x1's.

In this case the call was requested to commemorate the "Guam Island CW-DX 
Anniversary." Which is arguably no more or less contrived an artifice than 
the "special events" cited by previous DXpeditions and contest operations 
to justify issuance of 1x1 calls.

>It is clearly against their guidelines, except I guess, for special events.

This wasn't a permanent call issued by the FCC. Like all 1x1's it clearly 
had to be a special event callsign. Which can be verified by checking the 
1x1 database <http://ncvec.spindle.net/index.htm>

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Scoring  and Classification Problem of TA0-Calls in 
Contests
Message-ID: <20021124154859.7776.qmail@web40611.mail.yahoo.com>

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

During the scoring procedure for contests we got aware of  a problem which is 
unique to Turkey.

As widely known, in the Turkish Regulations the call-area 0 has been assigned 
to the islands. On the other hand there are islands which are eligible for the 
IOTA, besides some islands which are not (the islands in the Marmara Sea like 
Heybeli, Buyuk, Sivri, Kinali, Burgaz, Avsa, Marmara).

The problem is rather the location of the islands which mostly are in Asia. But 
all of the most commonly used contest-scoring and logging software count them 
automatically to Europe which causes a wrong sort of scoring, resulting in a 
unfair score for all stations which have worked any station located in the 
Turkish islands, particularly those in Asia. 

 All islands with the exception of the so called IOTA-Saros-Group (EU-186) are 
in Asia. 

In the CQ-WW-SSB Contest of 2002 the only participant from a Turkish island has 
been TA1E/0 which was located in Bozcaada, IOTA-AS-099, clearly a location in 
Asia. Therefore we ask the CQ-Contest Commitee to take this into account in 
favour of the stations having worked this particular one, if possible.

A definitive solution for the problem might be counting all TA0-Calls generally 
as Asia for contests and making a modification to the scoring software for 
accomplishing this. This is not unfair as in majority the Asian islands are 
activated during contests and there is no other alternative for solving the 
problem (it is impossible to assign distinctive Prefixes for the exceptions). 
The other fact is that the vast majority of the islands are located in Asia. 

In terms of IOTA-Contests there is no problem as scoring (and contest report 
exchange) incorporates the reference-number of the island.

I would like to ask all receipents of this mail to convey their thoughts about 
my proposal as soon as possible to me. If this solution is accepted, the next 
step has to be done by the vendors of the popular logging softwares.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.0.20021124185913.00a88820@130.94.229.242>

In CQWW-CW I had about 450 QSOs - mostly on 10m, both
running and hunting.

In all QSOs the exchange I gave was 14 - not 5NN14, just
14.  Only four stations asked for their RST, indicating
that over 99% accept that it makes no difference (to them)
whether or not the other station gives a report.

The 99% are right - it doesn't matter!  Their logs will
show 599 received, and my log will show 599 sent.  Even
if I gave something other than 599 to the stations who
asked for a report, it still does not matter what's in
their log or in mine, as reports are not cross-checked
in CQWW.

Yes, the rules say that RS(T) should be exchanged, and
I broke the rules.  I did this to draw attention to the
rules themselves, and to the archaic practice of
exchanging 5NN in major contests.

Perhaps the rules can be updated, because a "rule" that
is not enforced is not a rule - it's a recommendation.
 
Recommendations are not mandatory, they're optional. It
follows, therefore, that the exchange of RS(T) in CQWW
is optional.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Miniclock problem
Message-ID: <3DE21824.14359.25E589@localhost>

Just wanted to make everyone aware of something I noted this 
weekend. I use the program "Miniclock" to give me a mini-window to 
keep time dispayed on the screen.
I noticed that Miniclock and Writelog didn't agree as I logged QSOs, on 
day 2 (it was about 2 minutes ahead, when I noticed). Also noticed that 
Writelog used the time of the clock on the task bar in logging QSOs.
I use WinXP and update my system clock to NIST every 15 minutes. 
So, that means that Miniclock, while running, doesn't get updated, when 
the system time is corrected.
My solution was to terminate and restart Miniclock every now and then. 
Otherwise, I would have thought everyone else operated the contest 2 
minutes too long :.)

FWIW...

This is one statistic that I would not lose sleep over.  For those not
aware, a European station has been reinjecting duplicate spots into a
node connected to the internet.  When sending the duplicate spot, the
time of the second spot is changed so as to defeat the dupe filters of
node software like DXSpider or ARCluster.  So, with no ill will toward
the efforts of any group, these spot statistics are meaningless.

Can't argue with this.  I thought you reduced it to "E" but had sped up the
code to 248WPM thereby sending the signal report so fast that the RF never
got past the TR relay.

That can happen, you know.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] 10 meters in SS
Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.2.20021125105108.00a92b20@3n.net>

I'm a little late to this party, but here are my two cents. For me, ten 
meters is the most interesting band, which for me was proven again this 
weekend in the CQ WW CW contest. However, it's viable only when the solar 
cycle says so. I've come back to hamming after a 45-year lapse and got my 
Novice ticket at the peak of the current cycle. So I've had a ball 
operating phone on 10 meters just like I did in the early 50's (back then I 
didn't care that sporadic E was the only long distance option, and I looked 
for those openings).

However, as a Novice I recognized that having SSB privileges only on 10 
meters was very limiting for a beginner so I proposed to the FCC that it 
expand Novice/Tech Plus cum code certificate holders' privileges to include 
some SSB on the WARC bands as well as broader CW privileges on all the HF 
bands. The intent was to make the initial entry-level license privileges 
robust enough to persuade new licensees to remain in the hobby rather than 
abandon it as they now are doing in substantial numbers. (While the number 
of new licenses issued remains at a pretty good rate, the number of 
drop-outs is about equal to that rate and thus our hobby is not growing. 
Added to that fact is another: the average age of hams is increasing, which 
does not bode well for the future of our hobby.

In any event, the FCC published my petition for comment at the end of 2001 
(RM-10354) and it is awaiting action by the Commission. The ARRL followed 
up with a proposal in March 2002 to significantly expand CW privileges for 
new licensees, and the FCC also has taken the ARRL's petition under 
advisement. So something good may come out of all this. Who knows, some new 
hams even may take up contesting!

And yes, I did receive some nasty e-mails alleging character weakness on my 
part for proposing a further watering down of our hobby's requirements. But 
I'd rather see a growing group of committed hobbyists working the HF bands 
than a declining group satisfied with the status quo.

A lot of us rely on DOS for our contest logging.  According to Microsoft's

product end-of-life follows one year later:

I think is very simple, if you dont get a report it is not a valid
contact  for the Dxcc awards and others, remember that a large % of the
contacts are just people working you knowing that they could get a QSL
card if they want to.
 Maybe if we could add the name...(It will kill the rate but illmake it
so much personal,)
 more people would be interested .

well in the future as dgital modes replaces CW, we could exchange all
meaningful info, including a picture of your antennas, shack and a
family portrait including your dog (optional)
this way you can really say that you have "friends all over'



Don?t change it...

Can't argue with this.  I thought you reduced it to "E" but had sped up
the
code to 248WPM thereby sending the signal report so fast that the RF
never
got past the TR relay.

That can happen, you know.

Hardware compatibility is a much more important issue for most of us...ISA

Message-ID: <1UUS3ZVP06090664B941W5A7EDZGE.3de2711f@sum789>

Hello:

Summary of propagation conditions for both CQ WW contest weekends (SSB and CW).

Prior to the CQ WW SSB contest weekend of October 26-27, 2002, sunspot group 99 
(NOAA 0162) dominated the solar flare activity.  Several halo coronal mass 
ejections (CMEs) were observed on October 24 and 25, and from October 24 
onward, 
high-speed solar wind streams swept past the Earth, triggering geomagnetic K-
index readings as high as 7.  This resulted in an Ap of 32 on both contest 
days.  
On the first day, the observed sunspot count was 130, with an associated 10.7 
cm 
flux index of 158, and a background X-ray level of B5.4 on the first day and 
B6.0 on the second day.  Thankfully, no flares occurred during the SSB contest 
weekend.  Polar paths were fair to poor, while High-, Mid-, and Low-latitude 
paths were generally good.

Amazingly, a rocky week also preceded the CQ WW CW contest weekend of November 
23-24, 2002.  The week started out with two M-class flares, and on November 19, 
a partial halo CME left the Sun, followed by a faint full halo CME on November 
20.  Solar wind speeds increased to 700 km/s in the night between November 21 
and 22.  The magnetic component of the IMF stream turned negative (south), 
causing very high geomagnetic storming by November 22 and early November 23, 
with a peak of 7 in the K-index.  Thankfully, things settled down later on the 
first contest day.  The observed sunspot count was 133 over the weekend, with a 
10.7 cm flux of 148 on November 23, and 146 on November 24.  The background X-
ray level was B5.9 on the first day, and B4.1 on the second.  A small Kp spike 
occurred again on the second day, but did not seem to degrade most mid- and low-
latitude paths.  Polar paths were generally fair.

What were your experiences on the air?  Which bands suffered?  Which were the 
best for you?  How did the contest weekends this year compare with past years?  
Do you have any comments about propagation and band conditions for this year?  
I'll summarize your comments and include them in the CQ Propagation column.  

Thank you.

I had the shock of my life to learn from Kantronics that not only do they
not sell the KAM any more, they no longer service the broken one I have.

Danny would be proud - 'long live Appliance Operators.'

Stupid quesiton: how do people do now what they used to do with KAMs?

Nowhere in the DXCC rules does it require a signal report to be exchanged.
In order to have a valid contact, one other piece of information besides
the callsign must be exchanged.  It could be anything - a grid square, a
name, etc.

I have submitted cards for 50 MHz and 144 MHz QSO's for DXCC that just
listed a grid square, no signal report, and they were credited to my
totals just fine. 

Contest rules may be more specific.  A signal report is supposed to be
required for CQWW but none is required for Sweepstakes or NAQP.

Paul,

The signal report gives the receiving operator something to grab hold of
... in marginal conditions hearing "5NN" tells me that the next characters
following are the zone and not part of the call sign.  In poor conditions
this can be a big help.  Let's keep the signal report as a requirement.
And please send it next contest!

Well, you can buy a new 'kam xl' or use your sound card and any of the
many programs (some of which are free) out there that do all sorts of
different modes.  Sound cards are also the replacement for the dvp.

My guess is they figured that 

1) you screwed up on the exchange
2) QRM obliterated it
3) they, themselves missed it due to fatigue

In any case, they adapted, logging the (almost as unimportant part)
zone, and moved on. (I use, albeit infrequently, the zone as sort of a 
checksum on the prefix - it has saved my butt a few times)

CQWW is a rate contest so any "meaningful" exchange slows things down.  
The "599" is a sort of synchronizing sound - in QRM it lets one's 
internal audio filter (that listens for tone frequency and quality, 
fist, etc.) "lock" on the signal before the zone part comes.  The RST 
is required on DXCC QSL cards I believe - you want those folks to lie?

Tradition plays a role as well - folks are used to it.  There's nothing 
wrong with that...

John, No call? And yes you are trying to water it down to the point that
anyone who wants a license can get it and then you will have your numbers,
but a number of people who do not value their license or the hobby. Then
watch the chaos on the bands. Is that what you really want? Not me, I hope

I guess this means you have about a month to go to Micro$oft'$ web $ite and
download any remaining drivers or other add-ons for MS DOS & Windows 95.  I
guess it's just too much bother for Micro$oft to simply leave those pages
alone and unchanged (how dare we consumers continue to use older computer
technology in terms of hardware and software, don't we know better?, he
mutters sarcastically)

Digital Research's DR-DOS (also known as Novell DOS, since Novell owned
Digital Research for awhile) versions 6 & 7 were equivalent to or better
than MS-DOS 5.x & 6.x for networking support; certainly no reason to suspect

forget about OS/2, if you can still find it somewhere; much of the time, the

application and hardware dependant, of course.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] MS-DOS end-of-life 31 December 2002

A lot of us rely on DOS for our contest logging.  According to Microsoft's
policies, all support for DOS and Windows 95 ended on 31 December 2001 and
product end-of-life follows one year later:

  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle.mspx

Of course, this doesn't mean much, since as long as we have DOS floppies and
PCs that can load them, we can continue to build DOS-based logging systems.

Has anyone experimented with any of these DOS replacements (in a contest
environment)?  I thought that DR-DOS had some sort of

Argh. Here we go again.

Used to be the only way to get a fuel injected engine was to build one. Now, 
most cars have them. Has that degraded the sport of auto racing? I think it 
has just raised the bar.

Used to be record M/S scores in CQ WW were in the 4Meg range, now they have 
doubled. Did computers, packet and digitally enhanced radios ruin the sport? 
I think they raised the bar.

The only certainty in life is change. The hobby will evolve just as HDTV will 
eventually eliminate conventional TV. Is this bad? Depends on if you watch TV 
much or not. 

Bitter lemons are the prelude to refreshing lemonade.

Ok
 
Ok Ill forward an email that I responded to Paul, where he corrected me
already so I wont get 100 other emails saying that Im wrong

 
 
 
Hi Felipe,
 
>I think is very simple, if you dont get a report it is not a valid
>contact  for the Dxcc awards and others,
 
Sorry, but you are misinformed.  No minimum report, or indeed any
report whatsoever, is needed on QSL cards for any ARRL award.
 
 
I guess that most of the world is as misinformed as me so at the end is
the same result.
 
 
You will probably know that neither ARRL Field Day nor Sweepstakes
have signal reports.
 
Yes I do, but then a again are different contests and they attrack a
different crowd.....
A crowd that?s less everyday and Field day is not really a contest.
 
If you are unsure, please check with ARRL.
 
>Don?t change it...
 
Why?  Do you think that CQWW is perfect and could not possibly be
improved, even by making RST optional?
 
Too globalized of an idea... CQWW is not perfect,  we will have to
consider them separately and if we are going to make changes to it , let
them be meaningful ones that will attract newcomers.
 
I think everyone knows that everyday there are less amateurs world wide,
we wont get more qsos shorting the time of them, we get more qsos
getting more people on.
 
With all the attention going to computers and data is very hard to
believe that its going to grow. In fact I don?t think that it will
happen, I think that all the growth we need is already in tens of
thousands of Technician type amateurs all over the world
That don?t know the thrill of low band Dx ing and contesting .. if you
ask me lets merge some of this contests into one and its going to bring
growth at all levels.
 
Just picture this:
 
Its CQWW 2005 and the Bavarian team has installed another weapon a 5
meter dish for EME  from CN8 they also have a Six meter 4 yagi stack
towards europe.
 
What they don?t count on is that the team from HC8 now has a super
system that will probably yield them with  qso?s with thousands of JA?s
from 6 to 2 meters.  
 
All over the world there are teams that will bring their best Vhf and
microwave guys to exceed in this categories most of these new guys have
never operated the low bands

 
I can be all day here talking about the possibilities of such activity,
suddenly contest expeditions to rare countries can be combined and have
many more just because its easier to share the cost with more operators.
If you think about it, its us low banders that don?t like to be compared
with the VHF likes that don?t do anything exciting and usually don?t
know CW. 
We will still have multiple categories and people can choose what they
want to operate
We just have to use basic business principles here
 more market share
the more cross sell you can do to them. Get more people ni the activity
and they will get more involved and their competitive spirit will kick
in. Remember our competition comes from the dilution created by all
these new things to do. (computers and playstations)
 
Sorry for the Bandwidth, but I just could see another conversation
regarding futile changes to the CQWW.

Nowhere in the DXCC rules does it require a signal report to be
exchanged.
In order to have a valid contact, one other piece of information besides
the callsign must be exchanged.  It could be anything - a grid square, a
name, etc.
 
I have submitted cards for 50 MHz and 144 MHz QSO's for DXCC that just
listed a grid square, no signal report, and they were credited to my
totals just fine. 
 
Contest rules may be more specific.  A signal report is supposed to be
required for CQWW but none is required for Sweepstakes or NAQP.

It was added to the country files almost four weeks before the contest!

30 October 2002 (CTY-1205)

* Added R1ANC in CQ Zone 29 to callsign list for Antarctica, CE9. 
* Added FO5RK to callsign list for Austral Is., FO/a. 
* Added K4BEV in CQ Zone 4 and KL7GLL in CQ Zone 5 to callsign list for United
States, K. 
* Removed K8FC in Zone 5 from country file - he's back in Zone 4. 
* Added K2G to callsign list for Guam, KH2. 
* Added KD3RF/VE2 and VA3NA/2 (both in CQ Zone 2) and VY2MGY/3 to callsign list
for Canada, VE.

Yes and no.  I failed to install the new file I downloaded before the
contest, and after working K2G and getting zero points, I deleted the Q,
installed the new file and re-logged him.  he came up right, so SOMEbody DID
do their homework.  They also put AA6TT in zone 5 which I thought was cool.

I thought the callsign K2G made sense for other reasons.  I think a shorter
callsign is always better than a longer one, and I guess the "G" stands for
"Guam."

When I'm running, I'll send your callsign (everyone recognises their own

This is a theory that sounds plausible, but doesn't hold up in
practice.  I know, because I've had 750 contest QSOs in the last
month, without giving reports, except to 4 stations who asked for
it.  None of them needed it - they all got the zone - perhaps they
just couldn't adjust to the concept of a CQWW QSO without hearing
"fini" or 5NN.

Let's accept that RS(T) is optional in practice.  Those that want
to send it can continue as if nothing ever changes.

I'll gladly send 59(9) to anyone who asks for a report.

Perhaps not, because I was running most of the time, so many of them
would have known I was not sending 5NN.

I think a few others would have asked for a report, except that they
didn't have anything convenient in their keyer memories.  I use an
external keyer and paddle all the time, so it's easier for me to react
when I hear something unusual.

Yes, that's probably what happened most of the time.

>CQWW is a rate contest so any "meaningful" exchange slows things down.  
>The "599" is a sort of synchronizing sound

Yes, but I believe that's only because we all expect it.  If you
don't expect it, you won't miss it.  When I'm running and you call
me, I send your callsign - you hear it and you know the important
bit comes next.

>The RST is required on DXCC QSL cards I believe - you want those folks to lie?

No need for anyone to lie.  I've had specific confirmation from ARRL
that no signal report of any kind whatsoever is required on QSL cards
for any ARRL award.

>Tradition plays a role as well - folks are used to it.  There's nothing 
>wrong with that...

That's right, and there's nothing wrong with paper logging either.
It's just that I don't do it any more.  All I've suggested is that,
in CQWW, RST should be recognised as an optional field.  I would
prefer not to send it, but I'll gladly give 59(9) to anyone who
feels they would prefer to hear it directly from me.

But when the callers adopt your method, *you* lose the sync bit.  They send
nothing but 599XX.
Since I do a lot of running I like to hear the "599".

I'm still puzzled why someone takes so vigourous a stand on so small an
issue.

WW is what it is. A rate fest. Most people are happy with that. It's a
proven formula for success. Remember, at its core, this contest is designed
to be as fun as possible for as many people as possible. The idea is to sell
magazines, remember? (Nothing is wrong with that. All sponsorship has as its
core the promotion of the host organization.)

I can accept WW for what it is and have an absolute blast doing so. I'd
probably have just as much fun if the report was more complicated, but that
would hurt participation at the lower levels of contesting commitment: the
casual ops who may or may not send in a log but who are so important to the
high levels of participation this contest enjoys.

WW works. I have yet to see evidence that a change in this area would have
anything but negative consequences.

Don't forget that the hard-core contester is only a part of WW's market.

This just seems like a lot of effort for not a lot of issue.

If you hadn't sent your zone, they'd have had that too, since the computer
already knows it.  Except for a few contests (ARRL Sweepstakes being the shining
exception which comes to mind) all that needs to be correctly copied is your
callsign (and the cluster probably already gave them that).  The notion that
contesting is a test of operator copying skill is as transparent as the emperors
new clothes.

Message-ID: <3DE2FB22.1050807@gte.net>

OK ... have got a question for folks who like to interpret rules.


I have a licensed YL no-code Technician friend, who has shown some 
interest in Contesting.  I'm trying to get her to do some SSB contest 
operating from my station.  I don't have much (if any) interest in 
operating those Contests.  Since she can't operate HF without me acting 
as "control operator", if we do enter a contest, would it be as


1)  Single op (she does all the operating, logging, etc.)
2)  Multi op (I'd just do the usual "control op" functions, but not do 
any actual operating myself)


Obviously, if I assisted in any way with any operating functions, that 
would automatically make us multi-op, which I'm comfortable with.  I'm 
just curious to know, if she does all the work, and I'm just watching 
and monitoring, would that count as a "true" single op operation?

I loaded a machine with this & experimented with TRLog.  It didn't work.

Hi,

Maybe time for the Linux-guys to take over ?

Are there any contesters using Linux on this list ?

Anyone ever made some decent Linux-software for (contest-) logging ?

Emporor's New Clothes (ENC)?  My all-time favorite analogy for
"Dilbert-esque" executive directives.  However, there is no such directive,
nor is anyone trying to lead us astray.

Contesting IS a test of operator copying skill.

How can I make that assertion?  Because the evaluation of performance is
whether it's correct or not in the log.

The debate over what tools the operator should use in copying is a different
discussion.  If the operator does not use the tools available to him
properly, he may log the information incorrectly.

Just plain old making a mistake without any outside influence actually
occurs.  This phenomena leads to errors in the log.

Using what is posted on packet without confirmation is poor operating -
plain and simple.  Using what the operator determines from using
SuperCheckPartial without confirming it - is again, poor operating.  Both of
these lead to errors in the log.

You'd be amazed at how many errors actually occur in just the callsigns.
Most Uniques are believed to be errors in copying rather than true Unique
callsigns.  (Most - not all!)

Before we seek to make it more of a test, we collectively need to recognize
that we all have not even come close to mastering the "test" at this level.

This was my most memorable contact of the weekend:

     23-Nov-02  2043   4293  28027  VU2WAP       599 22

Ten meters had been closed to Europe for several hours - the last EU worked 
was at 1757Z.  Miku was weak but perfectly readable.  We were beaming in 
all directions, so I have no idea what path this was.

And the urgency really isn't apparent to me, because up through Win98SE, 
DOS is still available and accessible at startup.  I am a lot more 
concerned about the disappearance of ISA slots and the impending ditto for 
serial and parallel ports.

Jim,

First ran DR-Dos when it was introduced as an alternative to MS-Dos.

Last week I couldn't find the MS-Dos 6.22 disks, so I downloaded the latest 
DR-Dos (ver 7.xx)  used it to run TR for the contest.

Absolutely no problem & defaulted to a dual-boot system to boot.

Adding a set of DR-Dos installation disks to my "tool kit".

Yes!  Try to find a card with a PCI slot that will do two or more RS-232
serial connections.  I think there are a few out there, but they're very
rare.

When I last tried it I couldn't get cwkeyer working.  I note a new parallel
port CW module has been written, haven't tried it yet.

Good point.  (and going to Linux doesn't fix this)  

That said, there are a LOT of parts for the current - and past - line of 
computers
kicking around.  Hams have proven awfully good at keeping obsolete equipment
going; ask any of the thousands still using TS-930s, Drake C-lines, SB-220s,
SB-102s, etc..  I expect anyone who wants to keep contesting with DOS/ISA
will be able to do so for at least another decade, if not much longer.

What's the URL?  (I tried this a few months back but couldn't find it)

Does this end of support by Microsoft mean that someone can put
MS DOS 6.xx on the web page for a free download?

Finding one that does 2 serial ports using a shared IRQ is easy.  I use the
CompUSA "house brand" at home under Windows, but there are others.

However, finding one that has separate IRQs for each port is much more
difficult.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
Message-ID: <200211261248_MC3-1-1C5B-7031@compuserve.com>

I didn't hear EI5DI this weekend but if I had, I would have asked
for the RST. It's part of the exchange and, since Paul has admitted
he did not send it, sorry but I feel the entry should be penalised or 
perhaps excluded altogether.

The vast majority of reports are always going to be 599, especially
in a rate contest like CQWW. The fact that almost no-one sends
other than 599, no matter what the circumstance, can I think be blamed
on K1EA, since CT led the way with computer logging and it doesn't let 
you log anything but 599 as the sent exchange. Interestingly, when 
EI5DI was developing his SD contest logger, he added the ability to
log a sent report other than 599 at my request. That doesn't seem to 
be consistent with his campaign to get rid of RS(T) altogether.

This weekend there were three signals, all Europeans, that I found 
so disgusting I sent them a report of 595. Maybe their rigs had just 
developed a fault, but I suspect they like to use a bad note to 
clear a nice big frequency around them. I'll be manually editing 
these sent reports into the Cabrillo log. In the future I'd like to see
RSTs
(and zones) cross-checked in the CQWW contests, and it would seem
to me that if a station receives a lot of reports of a bad note, it could
be
argued their dirty signal was causing excessive QRM and this could
be grounds for penalising the entry.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Serial Parallel port cards.
Message-ID: <001801c29577$c0dde690$d3096cd8@jallen>

There are a couple of manufactures that I know of that still make them.  I
have found the Lava 2SP-PCI sets up and works well in DOS, W95, W98, and XP,
which I am using now.  As the model number implies it adds 2 Serial and 1
Parallel port using a PCI slot.  They are at www.lavalink.com

I understand that others have had good luck with www.starteck.com, I wish
that I could say the same.  Mine never did work right and I ended up
replacing it with the Lava.

I have no connection whatever with either of these outfits, other than being
a satisfied customer of one and having bad luck with the other.

73,

It is not just a matter of loading the right computer data table...
truncated calls are a little confusing.  Folks get used to longer calls.  In
Canada, when I used VY1A, friends wanted to put the "J" in the call and
others not used to hearing VY1JA, expected a letter after the A...  at least
the normal 2x2 they are used to hearing.

Other Canadians using totally unusual calls like CK7Z do not have that
problem, but instead may be asked where they are. (Going back to entering
computer data... not your fault, Jim)

I find 1x1 calls confusing on first glance, and am sure that I am not the
only one.  My goodness, with a location advantage like Guam in the first
place, does anyone there NEED a 1x1 call to help with the contests?

And yet, for most, contesting is about using every tool within the rules to
get the highest possible score.  I hope the missing letter helped, Guam.
:o)

J.

Hi Zack, not rare, but in the expensive category. I bought one about 3
months ago that has 4 serial outputs using 1 IRQ.

And for Pete, there are plenty of motherboards availbable which have
ISA slots. 
Try a peek at http://www.jdr.com. I've got 2 just sitting on the
shelf. Around 400 mHz with the cpu which came with it if I remember,
but posibility they could be speeded up.

Think I paid about $89 for them. Identical twins.

Here is where the boneyards come in handy. I've forgotten the name,
but I have an old
card from back when you had to have a HD and floppy controller on the
card. It also has 2 LPT ports, and 4 comm ports in ISA. All of the
above can be enabled or disabled and there are various combinations
which allow you to seperately configure the comm ports.

If anyone interested, I'll dig it out of the desk and post more.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] MS DOS and Flea Market tips wanted
Message-ID: <3DE3D753.7080706@tampabay.rr.com>

AD1C mentions the CompUSA house brand mother board is set up for two 
Comm Ports with unique IRQs...that is nice but I want more....

What I am wondering is - were there mass produced PC's which 
automatically came with 3 or 4 comm ports?  To me those are what I wish 
every position had at my place - this is kind of a re-hash - but in the 
past we have talked about who sells cards to add the extra comm ports... 
did a manufacturer IBM/Dell/Gatway/Whoever produce four comm port 
machines with non conflicting IRQs on as contract for some industry?

With the older machines about to become un-supported my Microsoft, IF 
there was an industry that had purchased computers in bulk that had 4 
comm ports on them I would love to meet one of their Sustems guys and 
slip him a greenback or two.... undoubtedly this stuff is going to be 
replaced (if it hasn't already) and not to have to sub contract out 
adding the extra comm ports to a two port machine would be just ducky - 
I am more than content with DOS based logging software - I have not been 
sold on Windows based stuff at all - as far as I can see the DOS based 
programs do all I could ever want and I have some scores to prove that!

1 - I need a comm port to interface with the network (even when I am 
single op I have two computers running for redundancy and my ease at 
SO2R - not to mention it makes an excellent back up - the one time 
recently I did not do this the logging computer crashed and I lost the 
first night of the ARRL Ten Meter contest due to it)

2 - I need a comm port to interface with the network (ptional - can go 
LOOP network and only need one for netowrking - but it seems the LINK 
option always boots right up versus the loop where it takes work to set 
up system parameters in the autoexec files wheras I have a box full of 
null modem adaptors!)

3 - I need a comm port to interface with the packet spot sucker - this 
can be on one computer in the network since once it gets into one 
machine that info is shared through the network

4 - I need a comm port to interface with the rig - this is as far as I 
am concerned MANDATORY - if you have not automated your station yet - DO 
IT!  No more tranmistting into the wrong antenna and hosing the linear 
at ) Dark 30.  I actually switch the antennas by driving the automated 
boxes directly from the transciever so I can enjoy the switching even 
when the computer is off)

... TO ME an ideal find would be a computer like a low end Pentium 100 
some odd megaherz with 4 comm ports ready to be used.... as I mentioned 
at some positions in a multi-multi we can get by with two minimum (rig 
and network) - but I like the idea of finding a half dozen of these soon 
to be extinct puppies looking for a contest home where they only have to 
compute for a few weekends each year!

ANYONE KNOW OF AN INDUSTRY THAT USED SUCH A MACHINE (bunch of them) that 
I should look at as a possible source for "ideal" station ocmputers?

Jim, K4OJ

I doubt it.  In fact, I suspect if someone put any old Micro$oft software
out on the web without their permission, even something as old, "obsolete,"
and unsupported as MS DOS 6.x (let alone stuff older than that), you'd be
hearing from Micro$oft'$ legal staff.

Remember, they still "own" the software, you don't and never have.  Ever
read the license agreement?  Right -- that's a license, not a sale.

And I'm curious about that link for DR-DOS too.  CP/M lives on!

Does this end of support by Microsoft mean that someone can put

The fact that almost no-one sends other than 599, no matter what the 
circumstance, can I think be blamed on K1EA, since CT led the way with computer 
logging and it doesn't let you log anything but 599 as the sent exchange.

Dave,

I'm not sure how long you've been around, but I know that long before the PC 
was invented, we had "5NN T5" programmed into memory keyers sending the same 
exchange.  Never mind that the CQ Log Sheets had space for other than a 599 
report, we never sent a different one anyway.

K1EA likely recognized that no one ever sent other than 5NN, so why complicate 
things?  He certainly didn't start this revolution.

Maybe WB4VVF is to blame?  (Any other OT's remember that callsign?)

Jim,

I would suggest that you don't need 4 com ports any longer and should
consider using Ethernet instead for your CT network.  Granted, it is a bit
more trouble to set up, but once it's working, you're done.

The Ethernet card uses one interrupt, so that leaves plenty for other
activities.

So, those computers with two ports are able to handle your rig interfacing
and also connecting a TNC or some other serial device.

To run Ethernet with CT's DOS version, you need K1TTT's NETTSR program which
you can download from his website.

If you can run Windows, you can use CTWin which has built-in network
capability.  I understand several multi-ops have recently changed to using
CTWin very successfully.

N5NJ

Speak for yourself, white man.  Kemo Sabe been sending occasional 59(something
other than 9) for crappy signals, as required by the rules.  Some of those
chirpy/drifty CO signals can cover three bands during a single exchange.  :-)

As our PT5A CQ CW M/M team members return home to USA and Finland, we wish
to thank all we worked, especially those who helped contribute to our 66
countries on Top Band in the contest. An amazing feat by Jeff K1ZM, from so
very far away from everywhere, and excellent antenna construction by the
PT5A team.

And we are very proud to say that we were able to develop our score WITHOUT
the use of packet.  I guess our old ears still work and that a DX CONTEST
may still sometimes represent actual DXing.

Many thanks to our very special Brazilian hosts, Sergio PP5JR/ZX5J and Oms
PY5EG, and the great group of Brazilian ham friends there in Southern Brazil
that contributed to our mutual success, in so many ways.

In closing, most of you are probably unaware that Oms had major surgery 10
days ago, and is now recovering, very well, at home.  Many of you know Oms
personally, and the major contributions he has made to contesting, and
especially in South America.  I'm sure Oms would welcome a "get well soon
note" from any so inclined:

And I hope to hear you all from Ascension Island next week, including ARRL

have a 14' boom , 3L yagi with a single trap on each element side. It
looks like a hy-gain trap, but the guy who gave it to me said it was a

That's what I thought happened when you called me.
And it made me hesitate, which probably cancelled
any time saved by not sending the 5NN "sync pulse."

We've been using Ethernet at KC1XX for the last couple (few) years.  One 
advantage is that all computers go to a central hub, there is no daisy 
chain.  Only a computer which is temporarily off the network will miss a 
QSO -- it doesn't break the chain like a bad bulb in those old-fashioned 
string Christmas lights.  Plus the implications around serial ports is obvious.

Ethernet cards are throw-away items these days ($10 for a 10MB card).  Good 
luck finding a 2-serial port expansion card for that kind of money.

Okay, that's it - I _am_ an OT... not only do I remember 'VVF, but I also have
an Accu-Keyer & an Accu-Memory somewhere in the basement of my Dad's
house back in W7.

If my recollection is correct, one could program a pause in a message of
the Accu-Memory, so inserting a non-599 report was entirely possible,
although it would force one to manually insert the RST every time.

To help ensure they don't do as well as they otherwise could?

I already had the US & zone 5 mults, so just kept tuning past K2G.

They may have worked zone 24, but they probably didn't get a VR.

Calls like K2G & K7K are taking these Yank geographically meaningless
callsigns too far...

Brett,

I think that either your feeble old memory or mine has mixed up the 
capabilities of other keyers with the accu memory.

There was an Accu-Memory II that was only available in a commercial version 
that may have had features such as this, but I don't believe that the original 
was that sophisticated.

I thought that such pauses for input were started in keyers such as the 
venerable KC Keyer and some from AEA.

I'll agree.  1x1 calls like k2g or k1b are probably not good in
contests.  There are a couple reasons, first not all contesters are
dxers who follow all the expedition lists, and second, they require a
special update of country files so that logging software knows they are
multipliers.  Trying to get the word out that some non location specific
call like that is something special takes time and is bound to miss lots
of contest participants.

I operated all weekend at PJ2T and saw K2G spotted repeatedly via
packet and it never occured me while operating there that it was
anything other than the USA (spots for KC1XX and others kept popping
up too).  So I never bothered to chase him down.  Thanks to AH2R for
making sure we didn't miss the Guam multiplier!  No mistaking
that callsign, for sure.

I have a HYGain 1015DB. While it ain't the best antenna I have on those
bands, it has worked a lot of stuff. It would probably perform better if I
didn't have it sandwiched between a 205BAS and a 402CD with only about 5
feet separating the 1015 from the two antennas above and below.

I think I have the manual someplace if you need some info.

I just have to add this little fillip to the previous thread.

My wife was listening this a.m. to "Dr. Laura" on a local AM station. A 
10-yr-old boy called in to complain that because his mother watched Dr. 
Laura every day he couldn't do something he wanted to. Dr. Laura explained 
that his mother could not be watching her because she (Dr. Laura) only has 
a radio show. The boy insisted his mother "watched" Dr. Laura. After a 
while it became clear the boy had no idea what Dr. Laura was referring to 
when she used the word "radio" and that for him the notion of "radio" was a 
foreign concept.

I think I know what you're getting at John, however, at one point in time, the 
act of listening did involve watching some very vivid images.  This 'watching' 
was all done via the listeners imagination.

I used to build the Accu-Keyers to sell (even sold a CMOS version), and 
also built three or four of the Accu-Memories.  If my feeble old mind 
remembers correctly, you could pause for any length of time while you 
were programming it to make a word space, and then continue.  Maybe 
that's what Brett is thinking of?

Kinda depended upon how many exchanges you had... if you wanted to prepare 
a 2nd exchange, you could default it to 599 while using the other exchange 
to pause for a hand-entered RST.

Over the years, I probably built 5 Accu-Keyers, 3 CMOS Accu-Keyers, and one 
Accu-Memory.  I believe that may have been the VERY FIRST keyer ever 
designed which offered automatic character spacing... a REAL boon to CW 
ops... it's successor was the KC Keyer and then the CMOS SUPER KEYER 
line... now sold by Idiom Press.

Drew White/K9CW's micromputer-based contest keyer (8748) had that feature.
You simply punched the memory keypad number to start the message and press
the appropriate 's' number on the keypad to automatically fill it in.  If no
second number is pressed, the RST goes out as 5NN.

His keyer was featured in January 1981 Ham Radio Magazine.  I built it back
then.  I used it for a number of years.  It was a great keyer.

There was definitely a follow-up project to the infamous Accu-keyer 
article that was a memory add-on.  It was also published in QST and 
used 2102 devices or something.

Not sure what it was called, but Accu-Memory sounds right.
I built one and it actually worked...for a while.

Yep.  I used to be able to recognize my friend Rag Otterstad's fist, and
knew that OZ8RO was coming next.  NOW, it's a blast of dots, and oops, it's
not Rag in Denmark, but now again LA5HE in Norway!

And, of course, most of us can remember when a VR2 was about to send a Zone
32 from Fiji!  But there you go again, VR2 has moved to VS6 and Zone 24.

Jeez, I guess we're all just going to have to get our code readers out.  And
maybe "ask" what the country is.

Short call signs are GREAT.  I truly hope we'll hear more of them.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Scoring  and Classification Problem of TA0-Calls in 
Contests
Message-ID: <20021124154859.7776.qmail@web40611.mail.yahoo.com>

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

During the scoring procedure for contests we got aware of  a problem which is 
unique to Turkey.

As widely known, in the Turkish Regulations the call-area 0 has been assigned 
to the islands. On the other hand there are islands which are eligible for the 
IOTA, besides some islands which are not (the islands in the Marmara Sea like 
Heybeli, Buyuk, Sivri, Kinali, Burgaz, Avsa, Marmara).

The problem is rather the location of the islands which mostly are in Asia. But 
all of the most commonly used contest-scoring and logging software count them 
automatically to Europe which causes a wrong sort of scoring, resulting in a 
unfair score for all stations which have worked any station located in the 
Turkish islands, particularly those in Asia. 

 All islands with the exception of the so called IOTA-Saros-Group (EU-186) are 
in Asia. 

In the CQ-WW-SSB Contest of 2002 the only participant from a Turkish island has 
been TA1E/0 which was located in Bozcaada, IOTA-AS-099, clearly a location in 
Asia. Therefore we ask the CQ-Contest Commitee to take this into account in 
favour of the stations having worked this particular one, if possible.

A definitive solution for the problem might be counting all TA0-Calls generally 
as Asia for contests and making a modification to the scoring software for 
accomplishing this. This is not unfair as in majority the Asian islands are 
activated during contests and there is no other alternative for solving the 
problem (it is impossible to assign distinctive Prefixes for the exceptions). 
The other fact is that the vast majority of the islands are located in Asia. 

In terms of IOTA-Contests there is no problem as scoring (and contest report 
exchange) incorporates the reference-number of the island.

I would like to ask all receipents of this mail to convey their thoughts about 
my proposal as soon as possible to me. If this solution is accepted, the next 
step has to be done by the vendors of the popular logging softwares.

 73!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
Message-ID: <5.1.1.6.0.20021124185913.00a88820@130.94.229.242>

In CQWW-CW I had about 450 QSOs - mostly on 10m, both
running and hunting.

In all QSOs the exchange I gave was 14 - not 5NN14, just
14.  Only four stations asked for their RST, indicating
that over 99% accept that it makes no difference (to them)
whether or not the other station gives a report.

The 99% are right - it doesn't matter!  Their logs will
show 599 received, and my log will show 599 sent.  Even
if I gave something other than 599 to the stations who
asked for a report, it still does not matter what's in
their log or in mine, as reports are not cross-checked
in CQWW.

Yes, the rules say that RS(T) should be exchanged, and
I broke the rules.  I did this to draw attention to the
rules themselves, and to the archaic practice of
exchanging 5NN in major contests.

Perhaps the rules can be updated, because a "rule" that
is not enforced is not a rule - it's a recommendation.
 
Recommendations are not mandatory, they're optional. It
follows, therefore, that the exchange of RS(T) in CQWW
is optional.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Miniclock problem
Message-ID: <3DE21824.14359.25E589@localhost>

Just wanted to make everyone aware of something I noted this 
weekend. I use the program "Miniclock" to give me a mini-window to 
keep time dispayed on the screen.
I noticed that Miniclock and Writelog didn't agree as I logged QSOs, on 
day 2 (it was about 2 minutes ahead, when I noticed). Also noticed that 
Writelog used the time of the clock on the task bar in logging QSOs.
I use WinXP and update my system clock to NIST every 15 minutes. 
So, that means that Miniclock, while running, doesn't get updated, when 
the system time is corrected.
My solution was to terminate and restart Miniclock every now and then. 
Otherwise, I would have thought everyone else operated the contest 2 
minutes too long :.)

FWIW...

This is one statistic that I would not lose sleep over.  For those not
aware, a European station has been reinjecting duplicate spots into a
node connected to the internet.  When sending the duplicate spot, the
time of the second spot is changed so as to defeat the dupe filters of
node software like DXSpider or ARCluster.  So, with no ill will toward
the efforts of any group, these spot statistics are meaningless.

Can't argue with this.  I thought you reduced it to "E" but had sped up the
code to 248WPM thereby sending the signal report so fast that the RF never
got past the TR relay.

That can happen, you know.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] 10 meters in SS
Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.2.20021125105108.00a92b20@3n.net>

I'm a little late to this party, but here are my two cents. For me, ten 
meters is the most interesting band, which for me was proven again this 
weekend in the CQ WW CW contest. However, it's viable only when the solar 
cycle says so. I've come back to hamming after a 45-year lapse and got my 
Novice ticket at the peak of the current cycle. So I've had a ball 
operating phone on 10 meters just like I did in the early 50's (back then I 
didn't care that sporadic E was the only long distance option, and I looked 
for those openings).

However, as a Novice I recognized that having SSB privileges only on 10 
meters was very limiting for a beginner so I proposed to the FCC that it 
expand Novice/Tech Plus cum code certificate holders' privileges to include 
some SSB on the WARC bands as well as broader CW privileges on all the HF 
bands. The intent was to make the initial entry-level license privileges 
robust enough to persuade new licensees to remain in the hobby rather than 
abandon it as they now are doing in substantial numbers. (While the number 
of new licenses issued remains at a pretty good rate, the number of 
drop-outs is about equal to that rate and thus our hobby is not growing. 
Added to that fact is another: the average age of hams is increasing, which 
does not bode well for the future of our hobby.

In any event, the FCC published my petition for comment at the end of 2001 
(RM-10354) and it is awaiting action by the Commission. The ARRL followed 
up with a proposal in March 2002 to significantly expand CW privileges for 
new licensees, and the FCC also has taken the ARRL's petition under 
advisement. So something good may come out of all this. Who knows, some new 
hams even may take up contesting!

And yes, I did receive some nasty e-mails alleging character weakness on my 
part for proposing a further watering down of our hobby's requirements. But 
I'd rather see a growing group of committed hobbyists working the HF bands 
than a declining group satisfied with the status quo.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] MS-DOS end-of-life 31 December 2002
Message-ID: <20021125171539.79791.qmail@web13604.mail.yahoo.com>

A lot of us rely on DOS for our contest logging.  According to Microsoft's
policies, all support for DOS and Windows 95 ended on 31 December 2001 and
product end-of-life follows one year later:

  http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle.mspx

Of course, this doesn't mean much, since as long as we have DOS floppies and
PCs that can load them, we can continue to build DOS-based logging systems.

Has anyone experimented with any of these DOS replacements (in a contest
environment)?  I thought that DR-DOS had some sort of 

  http://www.freedos.org/
  http://www.drdos.com/
  http://www-3.ibm.com/software/os/dos/

My recollection is that DR-DOS had some sort of networking support built-in.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
In-Reply-To: <004901c29495$e6cda530$0100a8c0@TL01>

I think is very simple, if you dont get a report it is not a valid
contact  for the Dxcc awards and others, remember that a large % of the
contacts are just people working you knowing that they could get a QSL
card if they want to.
 Maybe if we could add the name...(It will kill the rate but illmake it
so much personal,)
 more people would be interested .

well in the future as dgital modes replaces CW, we could exchange all
meaningful info, including a picture of your antennas, shack and a
family portrait including your dog (optional)
this way you can really say that you have "friends all over'



Don?t change it...

Can't argue with this.  I thought you reduced it to "E" but had sped up
the
code to 248WPM thereby sending the signal report so fast that the RF
never
got past the TR relay.

That can happen, you know.

Well, there is still Windows 98.

Anyway, MSDOS hasnt really changed significantly in many years, so why is 
it important?

Hardware compatibility is a much more important issue for most of us...ISA 
slots are all but gone, etc.  What do we do with our good 'ol DVP's?

Hello:

Summary of propagation conditions for both CQ WW contest weekends (SSB and CW).

Prior to the CQ WW SSB contest weekend of October 26-27, 2002, sunspot group 99 
(NOAA 0162) dominated the solar flare activity.  Several halo coronal mass 
ejections (CMEs) were observed on October 24 and 25, and from October 24 
onward, 
high-speed solar wind streams swept past the Earth, triggering geomagnetic K-
index readings as high as 7.  This resulted in an Ap of 32 on both contest 
days.  
On the first day, the observed sunspot count was 130, with an associated 10.7 
cm 
flux index of 158, and a background X-ray level of B5.4 on the first day and 
B6.0 on the second day.  Thankfully, no flares occurred during the SSB contest 
weekend.  Polar paths were fair to poor, while High-, Mid-, and Low-latitude 
paths were generally good.

Amazingly, a rocky week also preceded the CQ WW CW contest weekend of November 
23-24, 2002.  The week started out with two M-class flares, and on November 19, 
a partial halo CME left the Sun, followed by a faint full halo CME on November 
20.  Solar wind speeds increased to 700 km/s in the night between November 21 
and 22.  The magnetic component of the IMF stream turned negative (south), 
causing very high geomagnetic storming by November 22 and early November 23, 
with a peak of 7 in the K-index.  Thankfully, things settled down later on the 
first contest day.  The observed sunspot count was 133 over the weekend, with a 
10.7 cm flux of 148 on November 23, and 146 on November 24.  The background X-
ray level was B5.9 on the first day, and B4.1 on the second.  A small Kp spike 
occurred again on the second day, but did not seem to degrade most mid- and low-
latitude paths.  Polar paths were generally fair.

What were your experiences on the air?  Which bands suffered?  Which were the 
best for you?  How did the contest weekends this year compare with past years?  
Do you have any comments about propagation and band conditions for this year?  
I'll summarize your comments and include them in the CQ Propagation column.  

Thank you.

I had the shock of my life to learn from Kantronics that not only do they
not sell the KAM any more, they no longer service the broken one I have.

Danny would be proud - 'long live Appliance Operators.'

Stupid quesiton: how do people do now what they used to do with KAMs?

Nowhere in the DXCC rules does it require a signal report to be exchanged.
In order to have a valid contact, one other piece of information besides
the callsign must be exchanged.  It could be anything - a grid square, a
name, etc.

I have submitted cards for 50 MHz and 144 MHz QSO's for DXCC that just
listed a grid square, no signal report, and they were credited to my
totals just fine. 

Contest rules may be more specific.  A signal report is supposed to be
required for CQWW but none is required for Sweepstakes or NAQP.

Paul,

The signal report gives the receiving operator something to grab hold of
... in marginal conditions hearing "5NN" tells me that the next characters
following are the zone and not part of the call sign.  In poor conditions
this can be a big help.  Let's keep the signal report as a requirement.
And please send it next contest!

Well, you can buy a new 'kam xl' or use your sound card and any of the
many programs (some of which are free) out there that do all sorts of

My guess is they figured that 

1) you screwed up on the exchange
2) QRM obliterated it
3) they, themselves missed it due to fatigue

In any case, they adapted, logging the (almost as unimportant part)
zone, and moved on. (I use, albeit infrequently, the zone as sort of a 
checksum on the prefix - it has saved my butt a few times)

CQWW is a rate contest so any "meaningful" exchange slows things down.  
The "599" is a sort of synchronizing sound - in QRM it lets one's 
internal audio filter (that listens for tone frequency and quality, 
fist, etc.) "lock" on the signal before the zone part comes.  The RST 
is required on DXCC QSL cards I believe - you want those folks to lie?

Tradition plays a role as well - folks are used to it.  There's nothing 
wrong with that...

John, No call? And yes you are trying to water it down to the point that
anyone who wants a license can get it and then you will have your numbers,
but a number of people who do not value their license or the hobby. Then
watch the chaos on the bands. Is that what you really want? Not me, I hope

I guess this means you have about a month to go to Micro$oft'$ web $ite and
download any remaining drivers or other add-ons for MS DOS & Windows 95.  I
guess it's just too much bother for Micro$oft to simply leave those pages
alone and unchanged (how dare we consumers continue to use older computer
technology in terms of hardware and software, don't we know better?, he
mutters sarcastically)

Digital Research's DR-DOS (also known as Novell DOS, since Novell owned
Digital Research for awhile) versions 6 & 7 were equivalent to or better
than MS-DOS 5.x & 6.x for networking support; certainly no reason to suspect
that it's been removed.  Same with IBM PC-DOS v.6. and higher.  And don't
forget about OS/2, if you can still find it somewhere; much of the time, the
OS/2 DOS compatibility box was better than the one(s) in Win 9x --
application and hardware dependant, of course.

Argh. Here we go again.

Used to be the only way to get a fuel injected engine was to build one. Now, 
most cars have them. Has that degraded the sport of auto racing? I think it 
has just raised the bar.

Used to be record M/S scores in CQ WW were in the 4Meg range, now they have 
doubled. Did computers, packet and digitally enhanced radios ruin the sport? 
I think they raised the bar.

The only certainty in life is change. The hobby will evolve just as HDTV will 
eventually eliminate conventional TV. Is this bad? Depends on if you watch TV 
much or not. 

Bitter lemons are the prelude to refreshing lemonade.

Hi Felipe,

Sorry, but you are misinformed.  No minimum report, or indeed any
report whatsoever, is needed on QSL cards for any ARRL award.
 
 
I guess that most of the world is as misinformed as me so at the end is
the same result.
 
 
You will probably know that neither ARRL Field Day nor Sweepstakes
have signal reports.
 
Yes I do, but then a again are different contests and they attrack a
different crowd.....
A crowd that?s less everyday and Field day is not really a contest.
 
If you are unsure, please check with ARRL.
 
>Don?t change it...
 
Why?  Do you think that CQWW is perfect and could not possibly be
improved, even by making RST optional?
 
Too globalized of an idea... CQWW is not perfect,  we will have to
consider them separately and if we are going to make changes to it , let
them be meaningful ones that will attract newcomers.
 
I think everyone knows that everyday there are less amateurs world wide,
we wont get more qsos shorting the time of them, we get more qsos
getting more people on.
 
With all the attention going to computers and data is very hard to
believe that its going to grow. In fact I don?t think that it will
happen, I think that all the growth we need is already in tens of
thousands of Technician type amateurs all over the world
That don?t know the thrill of low band Dx ing and contesting .. if you
ask me lets merge some of this contests into one and its going to bring
growth at all levels.
 
Just picture this:
 
Its CQWW 2005 and the Bavarian team has installed another weapon a 5
meter dish for EME  from CN8 they also have a Six meter 4 yagi stack
towards europe.
 
What they don?t count on is that the team from HC8 now has a super
system that will probably yield them with  qso?s with thousands of JA?s
from 6 to 2 meters.  
 
All over the world there are teams that will bring their best Vhf and
microwave guys to exceed in this categories most of these new guys have
never operated the low bands

 
I can be all day here talking about the possibilities of such activity,
suddenly contest expeditions to rare countries can be combined and have
many more just because its easier to share the cost with more operators.
If you think about it, its us low banders that don?t like to be compared
with the VHF likes that don?t do anything exciting and usually don?t
know CW. 
We will still have multiple categories and people can choose what they
want to operate
We just have to use basic business principles here
 more market share
the more cross sell you can do to them. Get more people ni the activity
and they will get more involved and their competitive spirit will kick
in. Remember our competition comes from the dilution created by all
these new things to do. (computers and playstations)
 
Sorry for the Bandwidth, but I just could see another conversation
regarding futile changes to the CQWW.

Nowhere in the DXCC rules does it require a signal report to be
exchanged.
In order to have a valid contact, one other piece of information besides
the callsign must be exchanged.  It could be anything - a grid square, a
name, etc.
 
I have submitted cards for 50 MHz and 144 MHz QSO's for DXCC that just
listed a grid square, no signal report, and they were credited to my
totals just fine. 
 
Contest rules may be more specific.  A signal report is supposed to be
required for CQWW but none is required for Sweepstakes or NAQP.

It was added to the country files almost four weeks before the contest!

30 October 2002 (CTY-1205)

* Added R1ANC in CQ Zone 29 to callsign list for Antarctica, CE9. 
* Added FO5RK to callsign list for Austral Is., FO/a. 
* Added K4BEV in CQ Zone 4 and KL7GLL in CQ Zone 5 to callsign list for United
States, K. 
* Removed K8FC in Zone 5 from country file - he's back in Zone 4. 
* Added K2G to callsign list for Guam, KH2. 
* Added KD3RF/VE2 and VA3NA/2 (both in CQ Zone 2) and VY2MGY/3 to callsign list
for Canada, VE.

Yes and no.  I failed to install the new file I downloaded before the
contest, and after working K2G and getting zero points, I deleted the Q,
installed the new file and re-logged him.  he came up right, so SOMEbody DID
do their homework.  They also put AA6TT in zone 5 which I thought was cool.

I thought the callsign K2G made sense for other reasons.  I think a shorter
callsign is always better than a longer one, and I guess the "G" stands for
"Guam."

This is a theory that sounds plausible, but doesn't hold up in
practice.  I know, because I've had 750 contest QSOs in the last
month, without giving reports, except to 4 stations who asked for
it.  None of them needed it - they all got the zone - perhaps they
just couldn't adjust to the concept of a CQWW QSO without hearing
"fini" or 5NN.

Let's accept that RS(T) is optional in practice.  Those that want
to send it can continue as if nothing ever changes.

I'll gladly send 59(9) to anyone who asks for a report.

Perhaps not, because I was running most of the time, so many of them
would have known I was not sending 5NN.

I think a few others would have asked for a report, except that they
didn't have anything convenient in their keyer memories.  I use an
external keyer and paddle all the time, so it's easier for me to react
when I hear something unusual.

Yes, that's probably what happened most of the time.

>CQWW is a rate contest so any "meaningful" exchange slows things down.  
>The "599" is a sort of synchronizing sound

Yes, but I believe that's only because we all expect it.  If you
don't expect it, you won't miss it.  When I'm running and you call
me, I send your callsign - you hear it and you know the important
bit comes next.

>The RST is required on DXCC QSL cards I believe - you want those folks to lie?

No need for anyone to lie.  I've had specific confirmation from ARRL
that no signal report of any kind whatsoever is required on QSL cards
for any ARRL award.

>Tradition plays a role as well - folks are used to it.  There's nothing 
>wrong with that...

That's right, and there's nothing wrong with paper logging either.
It's just that I don't do it any more.  All I've suggested is that,
in CQWW, RST should be recognised as an optional field.  I would
prefer not to send it, but I'll gladly give 59(9) to anyone who
feels they would prefer to hear it directly from me.

But when the callers adopt your method, *you* lose the sync bit.  They send
nothing but 599XX.
Since I do a lot of running I like to hear the "599".

Message-ID: <002101c294f6$8ba35cc0$0100a8c0@joe>

I'm still puzzled why someone takes so vigourous a stand on so small an
issue.

WW is what it is. A rate fest. Most people are happy with that. It's a
proven formula for success. Remember, at its core, this contest is designed
to be as fun as possible for as many people as possible. The idea is to sell
magazines, remember? (Nothing is wrong with that. All sponsorship has as its
core the promotion of the host organization.)

I can accept WW for what it is and have an absolute blast doing so. I'd
probably have just as much fun if the report was more complicated, but that
would hurt participation at the lower levels of contesting commitment: the
casual ops who may or may not send in a log but who are so important to the
high levels of participation this contest enjoys.

WW works. I have yet to see evidence that a change in this area would have
anything but negative consequences.

Don't forget that the hard-core contester is only a part of WW's market.

This just seems like a lot of effort for not a lot of issue.

If you hadn't sent your zone, they'd have had that too, since the computer
already knows it.  Except for a few contests (ARRL Sweepstakes being the shining
exception which comes to mind) all that needs to be correctly copied is your
callsign (and the cluster probably already gave them that).  The notion that
contesting is a test of operator copying skill is as transparent as the emperors
new clothes.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Multi Op or  just "Control Op"
Message-ID: <3DE2FB22.1050807@gte.net>

OK ... have got a question for folks who like to interpret rules.


I have a licensed YL no-code Technician friend, who has shown some 
interest in Contesting.  I'm trying to get her to do some SSB contest 
operating from my station.  I don't have much (if any) interest in 
operating those Contests.  Since she can't operate HF without me acting 
as "control operator", if we do enter a contest, would it be as


1)  Single op (she does all the operating, logging, etc.)
2)  Multi op (I'd just do the usual "control op" functions, but not do 
any actual operating myself)


Obviously, if I assisted in any way with any operating functions, that 
would automatically make us multi-op, which I'm comfortable with.  I'm 
just curious to know, if she does all the work, and I'm just watching 
and monitoring, would that count as a "true" single op operation?

Thanks, Ron  WD4AHZ

Emporor's New Clothes (ENC)?  My all-time favorite analogy for
"Dilbert-esque" executive directives.  However, there is no such directive,
nor is anyone trying to lead us astray.

Contesting IS a test of operator copying skill.

How can I make that assertion?  Because the evaluation of performance is
whether it's correct or not in the log.

The debate over what tools the operator should use in copying is a different
discussion.  If the operator does not use the tools available to him
properly, he may log the information incorrectly.

Just plain old making a mistake without any outside influence actually
occurs.  This phenomena leads to errors in the log.

Using what is posted on packet without confirmation is poor operating -
plain and simple.  Using what the operator determines from using
SuperCheckPartial without confirming it - is again, poor operating.  Both of
these lead to errors in the log.

You'd be amazed at how many errors actually occur in just the callsigns.
Most Uniques are believed to be errors in copying rather than true Unique
callsigns.  (Most - not all!)

Before we seek to make it more of a test, we collectively need to recognize
that we all have not even come close to mastering the "test" at this level.

And the urgency really isn't apparent to me, because up through Win98SE, 
DOS is still available and accessible at startup.  I am a lot more 
concerned about the disappearance of ISA slots and the impending ditto for

Jim,

First ran DR-Dos when it was introduced as an alternative to MS-Dos.

Last week I couldn't find the MS-Dos 6.22 disks, so I downloaded the latest 
DR-Dos (ver 7.xx)  used it to run TR for the contest.

Absolutely no problem & defaulted to a dual-boot system to boot.

Adding a set of DR-Dos installation disks to my "tool kit".

73, Steve - n1sr

Yes!  Try to find a card with a PCI slot that will do two or more RS-232
serial connections.  I think there are a few out there, but they're very
rare.

When I last tried it I couldn't get cwkeyer working.  I note a new parallel
port CW module has been written, haven't tried it yet.

Good point.  (and going to Linux doesn't fix this)  

That said, there are a LOT of parts for the current - and past - line of 
computers
kicking around.  Hams have proven awfully good at keeping obsolete equipment
going; ask any of the thousands still using TS-930s, Drake C-lines, SB-220s,
SB-102s, etc..  I expect anyone who wants to keep contesting with DOS/ISA
will be able to do so for at least another decade, if not much longer.

What's the URL?  (I tried this a few months back but couldn't find it)

Does this end of support by Microsoft mean that someone can put
MS DOS 6.xx on the web page for a free download?

Finding one that does 2 serial ports using a shared IRQ is easy.  I use the
CompUSA "house brand" at home under Windows, but there are others.

However, finding one that has separate IRQs for each port is much more
difficult.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQWW - are signal reports optional?
Message-ID: <200211261248_MC3-1-1C5B-7031@compuserve.com>

I didn't hear EI5DI this weekend but if I had, I would have asked
for the RST. It's part of the exchange and, since Paul has admitted
he did not send it, sorry but I feel the entry should be penalised or 
perhaps excluded altogether.

The vast majority of reports are always going to be 599, especially
in a rate contest like CQWW. The fact that almost no-one sends
other than 599, no matter what the circumstance, can I think be blamed
on K1EA, since CT led the way with computer logging and it doesn't let 
you log anything but 599 as the sent exchange. Interestingly, when 
EI5DI was developing his SD contest logger, he added the ability to
log a sent report other than 599 at my request. That doesn't seem to 
be consistent with his campaign to get rid of RS(T) altogether.

This weekend there were three signals, all Europeans, that I found 
so disgusting I sent them a report of 595. Maybe their rigs had just 
developed a fault, but I suspect they like to use a bad note to 
clear a nice big frequency around them. I'll be manually editing 
these sent reports into the Cabrillo log. In the future I'd like to see
RSTs
(and zones) cross-checked in the CQWW contests, and it would seem
to me that if a station receives a lot of reports of a bad note, it could
be
argued their dirty signal was causing excessive QRM and this could
be grounds for penalising the entry.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Serial Parallel port cards.
Message-ID: <001801c29577$c0dde690$d3096cd8@jallen>

There are a couple of manufactures that I know of that still make them.  I
have found the Lava 2SP-PCI sets up and works well in DOS, W95, W98, and XP,
which I am using now.  As the model number implies it adds 2 Serial and 1
Parallel port using a PCI slot.  They are at www.lavalink.com

I understand that others have had good luck with www.starteck.com, I wish
that I could say the same.  Mine never did work right and I ended up
replacing it with the Lava.

I have no connection whatever with either of these outfits, other than being
a satisfied customer of one and having bad luck with the other.

73,

It is not just a matter of loading the right computer data table...
truncated calls are a little confusing.  Folks get used to longer calls.  In
Canada, when I used VY1A, friends wanted to put the "J" in the call and
others not used to hearing VY1JA, expected a letter after the A...  at least
the normal 2x2 they are used to hearing.

Other Canadians using totally unusual calls like CK7Z do not have that
problem, but instead may be asked where they are. (Going back to entering
computer data... not your fault, Jim)

I find 1x1 calls confusing on first glance, and am sure that I am not the
only one.  My goodness, with a location advantage like Guam in the first
place, does anyone there NEED a 1x1 call to help with the contests?

And yet, for most, contesting is about using every tool within the rules to
get the highest possible score.  I hope the missing letter helped, Guam.
:o)

Hi Zack, not rare, but in the expensive category. I bought one about 3
months ago that has 4 serial outputs using 1 IRQ.

And for Pete, there are plenty of motherboards availbable which have
ISA slots. 
Try a peek at http://www.jdr.com. I've got 2 just sitting on the
shelf. Around 400 mHz with the cpu which came with it if I remember,
but posibility they could be speeded up.

Think I paid about $89 for them. Identical twins.

Here is where the boneyards come in handy. I've forgotten the name,
but I have an old
card from back when you had to have a HD and floppy controller on the
card. It also has 2 LPT ports, and 4 comm ports in ISA. All of the
above can be enabled or disabled and there are various combinations
which allow you to seperately configure the comm ports.

If anyone interested, I'll dig it out of the desk and post more.

AD1C mentions the CompUSA house brand mother board is set up for two 
Comm Ports with unique IRQs...that is nice but I want more....

What I am wondering is - were there mass produced PC's which 
automatically came with 3 or 4 comm ports?  To me those are what I wish 
every position had at my place - this is kind of a re-hash - but in the 
past we have talked about who sells cards to add the extra comm ports... 
did a manufacturer IBM/Dell/Gatway/Whoever produce four comm port 
machines with non conflicting IRQs on as contract for some industry?

With the older machines about to become un-supported my Microsoft, IF 
there was an industry that had purchased computers in bulk that had 4 
comm ports on them I would love to meet one of their Sustems guys and 
slip him a greenback or two.... undoubtedly this stuff is going to be 
replaced (if it hasn't already) and not to have to sub contract out 
adding the extra comm ports to a two port machine would be just ducky - 
I am more than content with DOS based logging software - I have not been 
sold on Windows based stuff at all - as far as I can see the DOS based 
programs do all I could ever want and I have some scores to prove that!

1 - I need a comm port to interface with the network (even when I am 
single op I have two computers running for redundancy and my ease at 
SO2R - not to mention it makes an excellent back up - the one time 
recently I did not do this the logging computer crashed and I lost the 
first night of the ARRL Ten Meter contest due to it)

2 - I need a comm port to interface with the network (ptional - can go 
LOOP network and only need one for netowrking - but it seems the LINK 
option always boots right up versus the loop where it takes work to set 
up system parameters in the autoexec files wheras I have a box full of 
null modem adaptors!)

3 - I need a comm port to interface with the packet spot sucker - this 
can be on one computer in the network since once it gets into one 
machine that info is shared through the network

4 - I need a comm port to interface with the rig - this is as far as I 
am concerned MANDATORY - if you have not automated your station yet - DO 
IT!  No more tranmistting into the wrong antenna and hosing the linear 
at ) Dark 30.  I actually switch the antennas by driving the automated 
boxes directly from the transciever so I can enjoy the switching even 
when the computer is off)

... TO ME an ideal find would be a computer like a low end Pentium 100 
some odd megaherz with 4 comm ports ready to be used.... as I mentioned 
at some positions in a multi-multi we can get by with two minimum (rig 
and network) - but I like the idea of finding a half dozen of these soon 
to be extinct puppies looking for a contest home where they only have to 
compute for a few weekends each year!

ANYONE KNOW OF AN INDUSTRY THAT USED SUCH A MACHINE (bunch of them) that 
I should look at as a possible source for "ideal" station ocmputers?

I doubt it.  In fact, I suspect if someone put any old Micro$oft software
out on the web without their permission, even something as old, "obsolete,"
and unsupported as MS DOS 6.x (let alone stuff older than that), you'd be
hearing from Micro$oft'$ legal staff.

Remember, they still "own" the software, you don't and never have.  Ever
read the license agreement?  Right -- that's a license, not a sale.

And I'm curious about that link for DR-DOS too.  CP/M lives on!

Does this end of support by Microsoft mean that someone can put
MS DOS 6.xx on the web page for a free download?

If the program is to be ported to Linux it would be best to start now
instead of when it's -really- needed.

I am using TR-Log in a DOS vm under Linux.
Parallel port keying seems to work fine to me.

The fact that almost no-one sends other than 599, no matter what the 
circumstance, can I think be blamed on K1EA, since CT led the way with computer 
logging and it doesn't let you log anything but 599 as the sent exchange. 

<<

Dave,

I'm not sure how long you've been around, but I know that long before the PC 
was invented, we had "5NN T5" programmed into memory keyers sending the same 
exchange.  Never mind that the CQ Log Sheets had space for other than a 599 
report, we never sent a different one anyway.

K1EA likely recognized that no one ever sent other than 5NN, so why complicate 
things?  He certainly didn't start this revolution.

Maybe WB4VVF is to blame?  (Any other OT's remember that callsign?)

Jim,

I would suggest that you don't need 4 com ports any longer and should
consider using Ethernet instead for your CT network.  Granted, it is a bit
more trouble to set up, but once it's working, you're done.

The Ethernet card uses one interrupt, so that leaves plenty for other
activities.

So, those computers with two ports are able to handle your rig interfacing
and also connecting a TNC or some other serial device.

To run Ethernet with CT's DOS version, you need K1TTT's NETTSR program which
you can download from his website.

If you can run Windows, you can use CTWin which has built-in network
capability.  I understand several multi-ops have recently changed to using
CTWin very successfully.

73,
N5NJ

Speak for yourself, white man.  Kemo Sabe been sending occasional 59(something
other than 9) for crappy signals, as required by the rules.  Some of those
chirpy/drifty CO signals can cover three bands during a single exchange.  :-)

As our PT5A CQ CW M/M team members return home to USA and Finland, we wish
to thank all we worked, especially those who helped contribute to our 66
countries on Top Band in the contest. An amazing feat by Jeff K1ZM, from so
very far away from everywhere, and excellent antenna construction by the
PT5A team.

And we are very proud to say that we were able to develop our score WITHOUT
the use of packet.  I guess our old ears still work and that a DX CONTEST
may still sometimes represent actual DXing.

Many thanks to our very special Brazilian hosts, Sergio PP5JR/ZX5J and Oms
PY5EG, and the great group of Brazilian ham friends there in Southern Brazil
that contributed to our mutual success, in so many ways.

In closing, most of you are probably unaware that Oms had major surgery 10
days ago, and is now recovering, very well, at home.  Many of you know Oms
personally, and the major contributions he has made to contesting, and
especially in South America.  I'm sure Oms would welcome a "get well soon
note" from any so inclined:

              py5eg@inepar.com.br

And I hope to hear you all from Ascension Island next week, including ARRL

Anyone know if Hy-Gain made a dual band 10/15 or 12/17 yagi pre 1995? I
have a 14' boom , 3L yagi with a single trap on each element side. It
looks like a hy-gain trap, but the guy who gave it to me said it was a
tribander-cant see that with only one trap/element side. The DE is 159" on
a side, with 32" after the trap- any ideas on a model?
Thx and happy thanksgiving to the list!

That's what I thought happened when you called me.
And it made me hesitate, which probably cancelled
any time saved by not sending the 5NN "sync pulse."

Icom points out as a benefit that "there are no extra filters to buy" but
instead of being a comfort to me, I am scared that I'll be stuck with

We've been using Ethernet at KC1XX for the last couple (few) years.  One 
advantage is that all computers go to a central hub, there is no daisy 
chain.  Only a computer which is temporarily off the network will miss a 
QSO -- it doesn't break the chain like a bad bulb in those old-fashioned 
string Christmas lights.  Plus the implications around serial ports is obvious.

Ethernet cards are throw-away items these days ($10 for a 10MB card).  Good 
luck finding a 2-serial port expansion card for that kind of money.

Hi Henry;

Sounds like U have a DB-1015 by the original Hy-Gain company. Designed to
stack above the 204BA 20M yagi. One of our former local CDXA members
(K2SD) had one in Charlotte, NC, and it & 204BA 10' below survived
Hurricane Hugo w/ 108 MPH winds in 1989.

Okay, that's it - I _am_ an OT... not only do I remember 'VVF, but I also have
an Accu-Keyer & an Accu-Memory somewhere in the basement of my Dad's
house back in W7.

If my recollection is correct, one could program a pause in a message of
the Accu-Memory, so inserting a non-599 report was entirely possible,
although it would force one to manually insert the RST every time.

To help ensure they don't do as well as they otherwise could?

I already had the US & zone 5 mults, so just kept tuning past K2G.

They may have worked zone 24, but they probably didn't get a VR.

Brett,

I think that either your feeble old memory or mine has mixed up the 
capabilities of other keyers with the accu memory.

There was an Accu-Memory II that was only available in a commercial version 
that may have had features such as this, but I don't believe that the original 
was that sophisticated.

I thought that such pauses for input were started in keyers such as the 
venerable KC Keyer and some from AEA.

I'll agree.  1x1 calls like k2g or k1b are probably not good in
contests.  There are a couple reasons, first not all contesters are
dxers who follow all the expedition lists, and second, they require a
special update of country files so that logging software knows they are
multipliers.  Trying to get the word out that some non location specific
call like that is something special takes time and is bound to miss lots
of contest participants.

I operated all weekend at PJ2T and saw K2G spotted repeatedly via
packet and it never occured me while operating there that it was
anything other than the USA (spots for KC1XX and others kept popping
up too).  So I never bothered to chase him down.  Thanks to AH2R for
making sure we didn't miss the Guam multiplier!  No mistaking
that callsign, for sure.

I have a HYGain 1015DB. While it ain't the best antenna I have on those
bands, it has worked a lot of stuff. It would probably perform better if I
didn't have it sandwiched between a 205BAS and a 402CD with only about 5
feet separating the 1015 from the two antennas above and below.

I think I have the manual someplace if you need some info.

Remember using one sometime ago on my old shack PC and it worked well. Now

I just have to add this little fillip to the previous thread.

My wife was listening this a.m. to "Dr. Laura" on a local AM station. A 
10-yr-old boy called in to complain that because his mother watched Dr. 
Laura every day he couldn't do something he wanted to. Dr. Laura explained 
that his mother could not be watching her because she (Dr. Laura) only has 
a radio show. The boy insisted his mother "watched" Dr. Laura. After a 
while it became clear the boy had no idea what Dr. Laura was referring to 
when she used the word "radio" and that for him the notion of "radio" was a 
foreign concept.

I think I know what you're getting at John, however, at one point in time, the 
act of listening did involve watching some very vivid images.  This 'watching' 
was all done via the listeners imagination.

I used to build the Accu-Keyers to sell (even sold a CMOS version), and 
also built three or four of the Accu-Memories.  If my feeble old mind 
remembers correctly, you could pause for any length of time while you 
were programming it to make a word space, and then continue.  Maybe 
that's what Brett is thinking of?
Loved to watch that digital display while it was playing back.  :-)

Kinda depended upon how many exchanges you had... if you wanted to prepare 
a 2nd exchange, you could default it to 599 while using the other exchange 
to pause for a hand-entered RST.

Over the years, I probably built 5 Accu-Keyers, 3 CMOS Accu-Keyers, and one 
Accu-Memory.  I believe that may have been the VERY FIRST keyer ever 
designed which offered automatic character spacing... a REAL boon to CW 
ops... it's successor was the KC Keyer and then the CMOS SUPER KEYER 
line... now sold by Idiom Press.

Drew White/K9CW's micromputer-based contest keyer (8748) had that feature.
You simply punched the memory keypad number to start the message and press
the appropriate 's' number on the keypad to automatically fill it in.  If no
second number is pressed, the RST goes out as 5NN.

His keyer was featured in January 1981 Ham Radio Magazine.  I built it back
then.  I used it for a number of years.  It was a great keyer.

There was definitely a follow-up project to the infamous Accu-keyer 
article that was a memory add-on.  It was also published in QST and 
used 2102 devices or something.

Not sure what it was called, but Accu-Memory sounds right.
I built one and it actually worked...for a while.

Yep.  I used to be able to recognize my friend Rag Otterstad's fist, and
knew that OZ8RO was coming next.  NOW, it's a blast of dots, and oops, it's
not Rag in Denmark, but now again LA5HE in Norway!

And, of course, most of us can remember when a VR2 was about to send a Zone
32 from Fiji!  But there you go again, VR2 has moved to VS6 and Zone 24.

Jeez, I guess we're all just going to have to get our code readers out.  And
maybe "ask" what the country is.

Short call signs are GREAT.  I truly hope we'll hear more of them.

Hi Paul

Or you could set the computer to send 569 or 579 or 439?  All
signals are not "5nn" to be sure.  Just as many are 579 and some
are even 439.  It amazes me how many times someone asks me to
repeat my report 2 or 3 times then sends "5nnxx." If we are going
to send a canned report, why not send something other than 5nn? 
If the report is the "thing", any report we send has to be right,
right?  Just so the other station copies what we send to make it
a legal exchange.

Hi,

Have decided that for Phone SS next year, voice keyer is NOT an option. It's
mandatory.

What do people like? What sound card DVK programs will take CQ and other
start commands from TR?

What are the options for hooking to radio? To two radios?

I can figure out how to home brew a connection, but what commercial versions
are there besides the West Mountain Radio units? If you have one of those,
what do you do for the second radio?

I believe the Accu-Memory allowed you to pause for manual entry of other 
data, and then it'd pick back up and continue sending from that point. This 
is something the Basic Accu-Keyer didn't offer.

I have been using SBDVP for the last 4-5 years. It is designed to work with
TRlog and therefore integrates very well. The quality of the audio is
absolutely superb. Nobody can tell the difference between the recording and
my actual voice.
You can find  the reference to SBDVP on the official TRlog site.

Being still on the preferred side of 40, I'm afraid it's your memory that's 
off, mate.  ;^)

The Accu-Memory would accept the pause & after manually keying something,
one could mash a button & it would then continue with the rest of the contents
of that memory.  This was the Accu-Memory as described in the '70-something
QST article(s).  This punk kid was in heaven once he got his hands on one...

In day-to-day operation, I would use it to insert RSTs & in some kinda domestic
contest I kinda sorta still remember, it was a great way to insert a serial 
number
in the long exchange.  Rather vague recollection, but the Gestapo comes to mind
here for some reason...

The display ripping along was also really cool, as noted by N4BP.

The AEA MM-1 could generate serial numbers automagically, though I'm not
sure if that was the first commercial product to do so or not - though I 
should,
having worked for them in the past.

Though nothing to do with this thread, my thanks to PJ2T for calling me
this year.

Many here will recall every year VR2BG whines about trying to work
zones 7, 8 & 9 through the JA Wall.

It's even more difficult with low power, so I've resorted to CQing more &
hanging out in the portion of the band where the oxygen masks
automatically appear.

I think I was only able to work HP1XVH S&P, otherwise everything else
called me.  Thank you all!

Anyone going anywhere interesting should remember that when you're
running JAs, you're probably being called by juicy that you will not be
able to hear unless you have the JAs standby every once in a while.

The signal reports given in 1959 DX Contests had variety.  One page of my 
log shows W3CPB getting reports that ranged from 339 to 589.  Also I notice 
that the reports I gave out were biased toward 579.  Since I had no S-meter 
my reports were very subjective.  In 1959 all of the W3CPB operation was 
hunt and peck so how the competition compared signal-strength-wise was a 
useful output.  If that isn't clear , I did not get everybody on the first 
call.   I don't have any logs covering the transition to computer 
logging,  '59 is the most recent data point.

I noticed that there seem to be a number of folks that have good memories of
older memory keyers.  I have one that is nearly completed from a commercial
kit of parts, and is an older project, for which I need information to
complete and operate.

It has two circuit boards, 2-5/8 by 4-1/2 inches, using discrete components
and no "keyer" chip.  It has a selector switch with 5 positions and two
slide toggle switches both DPDT, but only used as SPST.

"GCH" is the only identification on anything, and is in the etching on the
circuit boards.

Anyone who knows about this please respond directly to jallen@internorth.com

Thanks,

J.

Brett,
   I agree! When I was operating CQWW in China way back when, I noticed the
same thing.

When you ask the JAs to standby , THEY DO!!

I used a Global Memory Foam Chair in PEI this past weekend that I bought at
Staples ($300 US in their catalog.) It is the most comfortable chair I have
ever used (and I have the Herman Miller Aeron chair ($700) in the home
office/shack.)

I love the feature that lets you tilt forward and lock the chair while
having the back support work in that position. I hardly felt the need to
stretch my legs.

Message-ID: <001b01c297e0$ea950b60$d2096cd8@jallen>

Further to my request for information to complete and operate the memory
keyer kit,
I was asked to post what chips are used on the 2-5/8 x 4-1/2 inch boards.
Here is the list:
Please remember that I have a hard time seeing such small print these
days... :o)

Board 1
7474, 3
7400, 3
7410, 1
NE-555, 1  Old friend, timer.

Board 2
7493, 3
7402, 1
7473, 1
2102a, 3  look like memory chips
21022a, 1

There are a set of 10 wires that connect from board to board, labeled "A"
through "J".

These cards are professionally etched and bear the identification, "GCH",
but the keyer is a kit.  Some wires are dangling and it is obviously not
completed, but does not look like it will take a lot to make operational.

Anyone recognize this old one?   Better yet, anyone have information for me
to finish it?

Please answer directly to jallen@internorth.com

Thanks,

J.,
VY1JA

Be sure you really, really want what you are buying, especially if you buy
DX4WIN.  I bought it and later found out that I just didn't ever use it.
When I inquired about selling it to someone who could use it, I was told I
would be taken to court if I did -- Also, the software owner wouldn't honor
it for updating if I did sell it. So, I threw it in the trash.

YMMV

And so do K/W's.  I operate W5RRR from time to time and when I ask for
W-K/VE to standby so I can work some of the DX calling, they DO standby.  If
I screw up and forget to say "QRZ DX Only, Please", then they respond
accordingly. But, that's my fault.  :-)

Definitely sounds like the WB4VVF  AccuKeyer, and AccuMemory from QST ca.
1975/76

I can probably dig up schematics - *probably*

This is really surprising.  I'm a battered survivor of DXBase and their 
lousy support and upgrade policies, and have found a happy home with DX4WIN 
since release 0.97.  I have always found their upgrade policies quite 
generous and their support excellent.  I'm sure the letter of their license 
is as you describe, but then that's true of virtually all software; it sure 
sounds like you got badly crosswise with them to get the full force of it.

J:

I have both the original Accu-Keyer AND the Accu-Memory articles available 
on the QST CDs.

I can print them and mail them to you, OR I can (probably) send you a PDF 
of the screen-captured article(s).

I guess I will weigh in on this one with a vote. I am a DX4WIN user and I am
not happy with the program or the support.

Dale,

You can download a working demo of the program to try out before you buy it.

Why would you decide to buy it without planning to use it?

If you guys are tired of trying expensive programs that don't work the
way you want them too, cost way too much and have lousy tech support,
step up to the new generation of logging software
 
 
DXLAB
 
DXLab is a free software package that can be downloaded from
www.qsl.net/dxlab written by Dave AA6YQ and some helpers, this
constantly evolving software package is FREE.  If you have a problem,
there is plenty of help.  Some nights I have checked out the DXlab
reflector and had 30 or 40 emails in it.
 
Check it out

Not only that, but it's a difficult update to the country files.  Not only 
do I have to add K2G, but I also have to add other K2Gxy callsigns that are 
still USA - CT can't tell the difference between a prefix and a

I had several direct replies on this, thanks!  The firm consensus is KC4/N2TA 
is in
zone 29, at the location that the DX bulletin has reported.

Since Neiger quit team competition after the FIFTH Fleet forces wiped him

Comments:

44 hour effort from P49V QTH  (sleep:  3 hrs, repairs:  1 hr)

Well, the Great Iguana Shootout of ?02 is history.  Based on initial
reports, it
appears that 3 of the top 4 or 5 in the ?Heavyweight? SOABHP class will be
P40?s.  Jose, CT1BOH, operating from Jacky, P43P?s station, was the clear
and
undisputed champion as P40E.  Jose?s superb score reflects his talent,
stamina
and the value of SO2R done right, as opposed to SO2R done poorly (me) or not
at
all (John, P40W).

This was my third operation from P4, and the second CQWW CW.  Executed the
?Run
and Pass? game plan this year better than last year which turned into ?Run
and
Fumble.?  Low band conditions poor and noisy, with only one European on 160
(CT8T).

Got an e-mail from Steve, N8BJQ, the Monday before contest advising that I?d
won
the CQ WPX CW 02 contest in SOAB HP, a great encouragement and, more
importantly, the penultimate step in my personal goal of winning the world
in
all of what I consider the ?Big Six? (both modes, SOAB HP, of CQWW, CQWPX
and
ARRL DX).  Never mind that four of the victories were 30 years old (XE1IIJ
and
aliases).  Thus, winning this one would have completed the Grand Slam.

It was not to be.  In fact, it wasn?t even close.

Stripping away the difference in hours spent on the air, the major factor in
Jose?s margin of victory was multipliers. John, P40W, and I were roughly
equal
in multipliers while Jose had 100+ more multipliers.  The difference was
SO2R.


I started the contest as ?SO1.5R? (two transceivers, no linear on second
radio).
Plan was to use second radio for passing easy multipliers and finding big
signal multipliers.  Did that reasonably well, although didn?t do much
passing
first day.  Due to antenna switch problems and what turned to be cockpit
problems (yes, the spot switch on the FT1000D stays ON if your keyboard
presses
it), I ended up SO1R for the second half of the contest.

The story is in the stats.  In all, I had a total of 22 second-radio QSO?s,
of
which half were passes from another band or P4/PJ2 local multipliers.  John
presumably had none, but Jose had about 130 second radio multipliers, NOT
INCLUDING passes from other bands.  ALL were multipliers.

My 20 odd second radio contacts were theoretically worth about 300K points,
but
the dark side of that theory is that SO2R done poorly can be negative
influence,
i.e. a tremendous distraction, which manifests itself most notably in less
than
optimum rates on the first radio.

Frankly, on Sunday night, I was about ready to give it up, cede the field to
youth and energy and join the Multi-op ranks as 160M op where I could sleep.
I
could see making a few hundred more QSO?s and a few more multipliers but
could
not envision improvements of the magnitude needed to give the Jose?s of the
world a run for their money.

However, Jose graciously sat down with me Monday night and ran through how
he
does SO2R.  Having ?done? SO2R from the states in 70?s and 80?s, I thought I
knew how to do it.  But doing it at 180-200 per hour rates from DX is a very
different ball game.  In particular, my homemade audio switching doesn?t
hack
it.  Now, thanks to Jose?s tutorial, I can see my way forward to more
improvement and a shot at the win.  Hope springs eternal and wait ?til next
year.

Other than that, as Jose noted the four hours from European to Aruban
sunrise
are notable mostly for their temptation to sleep.  Waiting to hear from the
zone
33 crews.

Blessings and 73 from Aruba, where we?re having a family reunion!  One Happy
Island, Mon!

All,

Wow, what a pile of responses.

After the information was received, and I had a date and name to check, I
found my old 1975 ARRL Handbook.  At first glance it looks like the
Accukeyer, Accumemory set.  YES, it has the NE555, it is used as the audio
oscillator for the keyer speaker.

Because some chips are different, I will need to check it carefully.
Perhaps someone other than WB4VVF made boards or perhaps this is a very
similar keyer offered by someone else.

I will take time to examine the article and see if it is the same one.

Thanks, all, for the leads.  I believe that with this data, I will be able
to get the keyer up and running, because it is either the Accukeyer, or a
clone of some kind, and with the ARRL Handbook, I should be able to work it
out.

73,

J.

I probably missed this, but how in the world did the FCC ever issue
the call? It is clearly against their guidelines, except I guess, for
special events.

Is there an ADIF file that will includes the country info with the rest of
the call info that will run on DXBase for DOS? The ADIF conversion program I
have is C2A.exe dated 10/1/00. When I run this version on my DXBase 5.0 for
DOS DB file, there is no country info with the call.

I use the excellent LogConv program by KA5WSS.

The ADIF files created by LogConv import without
any problems into my DXBase for DOS database.
(Currently at about 78,000 records for K4RO...)
DXBase derives all of its country info based on
the callsign prefix, as interpreted by the DXBase
Prefix Database.  

You can get LogConv at:

Tony, the CT conversion does not output country data.  It's expected that 
the logging program can figure this out.  I don't want to have to implement 
a callsign parser.

Now if K1EA wants to integrate the ADIF writer into CT, I could add the 
ARRL country index into the country file.  But I'm not sure I'm willing to 
buy into this, or Ken is.

p.s. CT to ADIF is on version 1.16 dated July 2002 now - check the web site.

I received the following email today.  What would you guys do?......Names and 
calls changed to protect the innocent.

Subj:    Phone Sweepstakes


Hi...

   We need your help.  

    During the recent ARRL Phone Sweepstakes you made contact with the 
XYZ Radio Club, Jr located near Anytown.

    XYZ is an amateur radio club just for kids and we had the 
pleasure of making a contact with you using our club call: W1XYZ   We 
had six kids ranging in age from 7 through 14 yrs old participating in 
the contest.  The kids made most of the contacts and did most of the 
logging until they crashed around 0300 local.  They picked back up 
around 0700.

Unfortunately, due to youthful handwriting, a cranky laptop and old 
technology, we lost several entries from the contest.  We have recovered 
most of the "lost" information but a few still need a few holes filled. 
 In most cases the only thing we're missing are the serial numbers from 
the exchange.

Can you confirm our contact and the serial number you provided to us?

Thanks much.

This was the first real contest for XYZ and the kids set some 
challenging goals for themselves:  WAS and a clean sweep.  They just 
missed both because they never heard Nevada.

Hope to work you next year.

73 de W1XYZ

Tnx for the info. What I am trying to do is export my db file from DXBase
5.0 for DOS and import it to a windows logging program. The problem with the
ADIF conversion program I have is that it does not include the mapped
country along with the QSO. What this means is that when I import into
another program, the new program will make certain assumptions of where to
map the country. As an example, the call sign, KP2A, was used at KP1, KP2
and KP5. Will the import map this to just KP2? How will it know where to map
it too other than checking it's country file which most likely will set it
up for KP2.
One program company told me they can import the mapped prefix if it is in
the ADIF file.
Is there a version of ADIF or other conversion program that will allow me to
export my DXBase 5.0 for DOS log file into an ADIF file including the mapped
countries?
LogConv won't take a DXBase DBV file.

It was requested from one of the special event 1x1 callsign coordinators 
like all other 1x1's.

In this case the call was requested to commemorate the "Guam Island CW-DX 
Anniversary." Which is arguably no more or less contrived an artifice than 
the "special events" cited by previous DXpeditions and contest operations 
to justify issuance of 1x1 calls.

>It is clearly against their guidelines, except I guess, for special events.

This wasn't a permanent call issued by the FCC. Like all 1x1's it clearly 
had to be a special event callsign. Which can be verified by checking the 
1x1 database <http://ncvec.spindle.net/index.htm>
