Despite cool, wet and stormy WX, we had a great time at about 8500 feet,
10 miles west of Boulder, CO. We had 2 30 foot towers, each with a
4 band (40-10) beam, as well as an assortment of wires. We had
a well equipped satellite station, courtesy of WT0M. The Novices had
a 5 element yagi, as well as 40/80 meter wires. Condx were reasonably
good. Not as much 10 meter sporadic-E as you west coast guys, but it
was enough to keep the Novices interested. This was my first FD
running more than 5 watts in many years. It's nice to be reasonably loud !

A preliminary "raw" score from WJ7M:
1350 QSOs (before duping)
550 Multipliers (estimated)
1.4 Meg. (estimated)
Class: Multi-Single, operated by WE7B, WK7V and K6XO.
No signals heard on 10 meters all weekend, but we did not listen very often.
15 was open into EU quite a bit on Sunday, but not much activity.
20 was lousy on Saturday morning.
A few EU/AF on 40 Saturday evening.
Not much on 80. We did not go on 160 at all.
The new 15 and 20 M beams seem to work fairly well.

Welcome to the declining years of sunspot cycle 22 !
Pretty reasonable EU on 20 meters.
No JA opening at all on 15 meters.
Where were all the Europeans on 15 meters on Sunday ? The band was

20 was the band with the most action out here. The good news is I worked
a lot of guys on 20 (1162); the bad news is almost half of them were USA
stations (about 500).
15 seemed better to Europe on Sunday, although I was never really able to
call CQ in that direction either morning.
Every now and then I would make a pass up ten meters, and about one in three
times I would hear something. I worked the following seven DX stations on
the band: NP4Z, LU1EWL, CE3DNP, V40ITU ,ZF1A, ZP6CW, ZV5A.

N6TV pointed out to me that I forgot to mention one of my key 20 meter
antennas for the contest: a TH7 at 30' fixed on JA. I spent a *lot*
of time on 20 meters and hence a lot of time on that antenna.
TV-Bob also thought the 30' high antennas deserved a bit of explanation.
Fair enough. W6QHS and his wife KK6QM live on a hill to the south of the
Santa Clara Valley (the actual valley, not the ARRL section, which is *much*
bigger). The only direction from their house is down, so 30 feet is an
ample height for most things.

Since we were nearly in their back yard, we heard AA6TT a lot. Calling
lots of CQs. I am sure that they did well, what with all of that
hardware. It would be nice to know what their score was and who the
operators were. 3830 is not of much use to us out here in the west,
especially this time of the year. 80 does not get very good until 0400
or so.

Message-ID: <9206021547.AA02190 at ap040.ti.com>
I operated WPX at K5OJI this past weekend after not having operated
it in a long time. Couldn't remember all the reasons why I didn't
like it but now those reasons are fresh on my mind. Like...
So how many of you work statesiders and don't log them? That is,
after the first multiplier for that prefix? I first noticed an "8"
do that to me on Saturday- what happened was he gave me serial number
XXX, I happened to hang around and listened to him give that same
serial number to a DX station that called after me. I miscopied,
right? So I started listening around and heard another stateside
station give the same serial number to three stations before he
"logged" it and the serial number incremented. I heard another
station do that too, for a total of three stations. Then I was
mad and stopped listening to others and continued on...
I need his prefix but he doesn't need mine. So he clears me off
frequency but doesn't log me. (It's easy- type in the call- hit
the buttons- then ALT W.) I send in my log and *BZZZT!* I'm
docked for "not in log".
Contests that give no points for working stations in same country
encourage "not logging". The Europeans with contries smaller than
a Texas county don't have a problem (obviously).
I'd really like to see same country QSO's count for some value,
a point or 1/2 a point, in the WPX contest. Points could be
boosted for the other categories and that would be fine.
Obviously the thing to do is head for the Caribbean...

I used to do this in the days of paper logging, but now that I am using
a computer I don't bother. It is a pain.

I don't think this is too likely. The people who run the contest are
aware of this problem and deal with it. On the other hand, if N4IN
ran the WPX contest, I would be concerned.

I think making all QSOs within your continent count one point is a
reasonable thing. This would give make me feel better when AA6TT
calls me on three bands.
And speaking of rule changes, this change from 30 to 36 hours for
single ops really sucks. I think the contest was better under the
old format. It's already hard enough to find 30 decent hours to
operate during summertime conditions. Why should I spend an extra
six hours making zero point QSOs?
> Obviously the thing to do is head for the Caribbean...
This, of course, is self-evident. :-)

as per N5HD's comments about folks not logging stateside .
i think that stateside should be logged -- even if you are using paper
you only have to dupe the dx -- who cares if you have wn4kkn in your log 10
times on 20m (except wn4kkn) i mean it is already ZERO points.
another reason to work all them stateside q's is to get that number as big
as you can, keep the freq. clear, and the best reason of all to give you
something to do while you are calling CQ during the summertime band
conditions!

Message-ID: <9206021822.AA23097 at us1rmc.mso.dec.com>
Hi George,
I started out using DXLog by PAYL software (K3PA) (current version 1.8). It
supports DXCC, WAZ and Oblast tracking (you enter the state to get the zone
for stateside stations correct, but has no built-in WAS tracking). The
program is good in that it had intimate knowledge of the awards rules (i.e.
5BWAZ contacts aren't valid unless made after 1/1/79, had deleted DXCC
country tracking, etc.). However, the package is really two separate
programs - the PacketCluster interface is a separate module from the
logging/awards module (though you can log using the cluster module).
Furthermore, every time a DX spot came in, the program searches through all
your QSOs with that country to find out if that country was needed for a
DXCC or WAZ award. While this is quick for Bouvet or S. Sandwich, it is
rather slow when a JA or YU spot appears on the cluster, and you've worked
hundreds of them. It also has to check each QSO in your log to get current
DXCC or WAZ statistics. This program does have the ability to import CT and
NA logs, and I believe PAYL will help you import from other logging
programs.
I switched to DXbase by Scientific Solutions about a year ago. The program
is a logger and PacketCluster monitor in one. The database is indexed in
different ways which make packet filtering and award standing instantaneous.
Version 2.0 tracks WAS and IOTA statistics as well as DXCC, WAZ and Oblasts.
Furthermore, they also track Satellite and YL variations on the same awards.
The awards rules aren't so well understood, however. For example, to
generate a 5BWAZ application, you have to print out 5 single-band forms, and
chances are, it will pick up QSOs from before 1/1/79, so you'll have to tag
'favored' QSOs before printing the reports. DXbase does have superior
database report printing - you can select just about anything you want (i.e.
all YLs worked on CW for your Oblast award). DXbase has the ability to
import logs from CT and NA, as well as a number of different logging
programs including DXLog and N6RJ (I think).
Both of the above programs run well under DESQview.
I have been playing around with the shareware version of TurboLog by
G3-something-or-other, and distributed by Pavillion Software (AK1A).
Unfortunately, it has a built-in timer which doesn't allow you to play with
the program for more than 10 minutes or so before exiting. I'd be
interested in hearing anyone's comments.

I personally don't like this practice either. I log everyone. What if they
send you a QSL card? Do you confirm stations that aren't in your log? I
worked a number of stateside stations in the CQ WW SSB contest on 10 meters
from K1ST in October, 1991. Something like 150 or so, out of a measely 900
QSOs. A ridiculous number. But they all went in the log. Many people
commented, 'Just wanted to give you the point.' They should read the rules.
But it does keep the rate up! (1/2 ;-)

I tried this last night using CT 8.01 and couldn't duplicate the problem.
However, I did have troubles trying to use CT286 and CT386 on any WPX log.
The program crashed before getting to the logging (QSO entry) screen. CT86
didn't have the problem, and creating a log for a CQ WW contest worked fine
also. I told Ken and he said that this problem was fixed on Sunday. I
wonder if it's related to John's problem.

Message-ID: <9206021852.AA24660 at larry.sal.wisc.edu>
I completely agree with K3NA's comments about leaving marked dupes and
zero point QSO's in the log. I'll admit I've deleted dupes from my logs
in the past, without considering the implications. Not that anyone is
likely to miss a K9, of course.
There is a hazard in computerized log checking, though. If the "bad" contacts
are just flagged, then a human checker can often figure out what probably
happened, and judge accordingly. (Assuming the logs are complete.) There
has to be a growing temptation to just let the software delete the contacts
and multipliers that don't check out. When lots of logs start coming in
on disks, that will be the only way to check them all. The human checkers
will be the limiting factor. It could take some really clever software to
automatically check the logs fairly.

Yet a few more words on this subject; it does not seem to matter
which contest you operate in, there are usually casual participants
and Sunday driver types who stop by to give you a contact to "help
out". Sometimes they do help, sometimes they do not. I make it a
point never to criticize them just because they are ignorant of the
rules of the particular contest of the moment, and I always make it
a point to thank them, even if their contact did not count for
anything. We need all of the friends that we can get so that we can
comfortably continue with our games. I suspect that there will be a
lot of pressure on us to run our contests in a clean fashion as we
dive toward the sunspot minimum. 20 meters will be carrying a heavy
load of nets, DXers, ragchewers, and casual operators with just
about nowhere else to go until 40 and 80 open up during the evening
hours. Even 17 meters may not be that useful for them, we will see.
The 20 meter phone band is a zoo now - just wait...

I was hoping to run across 3A0CW during WPX, but condx were pretty
poor here for Eu, and I didn't hear him. Nor was he posted on
packetcluster here in S. Calif.
Was he on? 3A2LF was to be the op.
I'm now at 299 worked, and I would *love* to catch a 3A for #300.
Any hot tips?

Subject: QSL Label from DXBase
Message-ID: <9206031217.AA28619 at nic.ddn.mil>
Is anyone using an HP Deskjet 500 to print QSL labels from DXBase?
I am having a problem with the printer starting too far down the
paper. I think it should start printing at 1/2" but it actually
starts at 5/8". This results in the last line of the label
overwriting the edge of the label. Unfortunately, when I took
the printer back to the dealer and they checked with HP,
they said:
- there was no adjustment for where the paper starts printing
- printer working properly because the other printers they
have started in same place (I watched them test it on their
demo machines).
Any experience or ideas? Anyone know of someone at
HP I can contact through the Net?
Thanks, Jerry K7UPJ
