Hi All, believe it or not, I have been staying pretty busy answering
question send to me direct. For some reason many of you don't want to
list you question on the reflector. Sooo, to save me some time I will
list what seem to be the most frequently asked questions..
Most questions asked this week were how do we set up the CW/RTTY Memory
Setup Keys, for sending exchanges etc.. This screen was left blank so
you could set it up the way you wanted. However, it seem you didn't want
it this way or many wanted a sample listed you can modify.
Many of you have asked how do you get a carriage return etc. Some others
asked what is your setup for <R>, <11> etc. As most of you have noticed
the "< >" doesn't work with Rttyrite/WriteLog..
Here is what you do.. When you have the program on screen click Select
Contest you will see a list of contests for RTTY/CW/SSB/VHF/UHF... Arrow
down until you see (Example) North American QSO Party (RTTY), Click on
that contest. Now comes setting up the memory keys. Click on Edit in the
Logging window. Then click CW/RTTY messages. You will see a blank CW/RTTY
Memory Setup window. To setup your message for F-2 thru F11 type:
These are only Example of Exchanges:
F2: %RCQ CQ NAQP TEST DE K5DJ K5DJ%R%E
F3: %R%D RON/RON/TX/TX DE K5DJ BK%R%E
F4: %R%D QSL DE K5DJ QRZ%R%E
F5: %R%D DE K5DJ K5DJ K5DJ%R%E
F6: %R%D AGAIN DE K5DJ BK%R%E
F7: %R%D AGAIN UR CALL DE K5DJ BK%R%E
F8: %R%D AGAIN UR NAME DE K5DJ BK%R%E
F9: %R%D AGAIN UR STATE DE K5DJ BK%R%E
F10: %R%D U LID %R%E (Just for that very special Op we have to deal with) hi
F11: %R%D %H RON/TX DE K5DJ%R%E
Shift F-Keys can be done the same way..
The (%R, %D, %H, %E ) are the most common used.
%R= Carriage return..
%D= Station your working or call in call window..
%H= Commonly known as (Hi File or Friend.ini)..
%E= Return to Receive Mode..
Some others would be:
%T= Time 1315, or %TZ Time with a "Z" behind it 1315Z..
%I= a msg can be sent asking for a band change %I will insert a blank
you can fill on any QSO.. Example: We need you on %I mtrs. You could
type in 40...
You can also find a bunch more if you click on Help, in the CW/RTTY Memory
Setup Window.. Every thing will he explained much better..
We now have a sample list for each contest. You can download and put in
your C:\ Ham\Contest directory. All of these are examples you can edit
to send what you want. They all have K5DJ as the example etc..
They should be on our Web Page no later than this coming weekend..

Some other helpful advice.. I don't know if you have ever entered the
NAQP CW or SSB contests. If you have you already know about the "Ed"
club.. The "Ed" club was started by a bunch of guys with long names
like George, Gordon, Richard etc, these guys wanted to have a short
name during a CW contest. It seems many decided to change there
name to "Ed" for the NAQP contest.. If you are saving names for your
(Hi file) NAQP isn't the best contest to save names from.. I have seen
several names as Ed in several Friend.ini lists on WF1B reflector..
Example of this is: WB5VZL=ED, his name is George or Geo... There are
many other calls the same way..
