I am pretty new to VHF contesting.  However, I have done a fair amount  of HF 
contesting in the past using WriteLog, CT, and NA software.  
 
I have a new twist in the game now that I have added my first preamp /  
control relays into the system. When wanting to use my "repeat" CQ mode in  the 
contest logging software, I have to take the preamp out of line or blow it.  My 
preamp supplier is the proud owner of a new home and luxury vehicle, thanks  to 
the number of times I forget to take my rig out of "VOX" or Break-in when  
someone finally calls.  This of course, because I have not figured out how  to 
signal my sequencer to switch that preamp out before passing the computer  
generated SSB or CW information.
 
Please drop me a note direct to _k7bv@aol.com_ (mailto:k7bv@aol.com)  telling 
me what software you are  using that allows you to program it such that you 
can send your auto CQ  message after firing the sequencer.  I am a terribly 
weak computer person  and trust this will get some great answers while 
providing 
the Ol Wizened Ones  with a good laugh!
 
You guys and gals solve the W2SZ/1, Captive Rovers, etc.,  problems while I 
figure out how to get into VHF contesting.  Right now, I  just want to ask them 
and others to please stop blasting up the  national calling frequency - 
thereby, of course, showing how naive I still  am.
