> RE WA6OTU NCJ Editorial Single Op Assisted is NOT!!"what it i- Muti
Single"...ARRL Multi-Single has a 10 minute rule which prohibits the rapid
band changes which make traditional single op and technically assisted
single ops great.  CQ Multi single is actually a limited Multi Multi..also
with some time constraints.

470 Q's X  66 mults => 93,060


Wow!  Unbelievable East Coast opening on 20 at 1600z!  Thanks
to all those who called in the pile, even though it didn't last long.
This contest is a REAL challenge for us from 10000 miles away and is
usually pretty boring. Stateside openings total 4 or less hours a day 
on all bands. 

73!

Steve Milewski
AA7FL

All Band, High power (400 watts)
Paper logging/ Paper duping

Section: Oregon

Comments: Lots of very high static with all the rain in the area. Totally
missed Sunday morning on the low bands and was counting on the JA runs. Oh
well. Highlights were VQ9SS and HZ1AB on 40 meters Saturday morning. Also
T33CW on 15 meters for an all around new one!

First real contest try with a new radio after all these years with an
FT101B. Boy, this rig shines! Just wish the conditions were better. Over
150 Q's less than last year.

Subject: ARRL DX CW Special Tournament
Message-ID: <Pine.3.89.9402210924.A8681-0100000 at eskimo.com>



The Western Washington DX Club's newsletter, The Totem Tabloid, sponsored
a special "Low Power Tournament" during ARRL DX CW for the contesters in 
the club.  The tournament was limited to the low power 20 meter single 
band unassisted class and the prizes include a beautiful plaque and 
victory dinners for the top two finishers hosted by the rest of the field 
(burgers at a neighborhood saloon before the next WWDXC meeting - first 
place gets as much of anything as he wants, second place cannot order 
bacon or cheese on the burger and is limited to only one beverage in 
order to keep the competitive flames burning during the contest).

The tourney turned out to be a great idea.  We were constantly running 
across each other and chatting about band conditions and our scores.  We 
held nightly roundtables on 80 meters (after 20 had closed) to discuss the 
day's events.  The tournament really helped to spur contest activity and 
interest by our "little pistols".  All the entries agreed that it was 
a great time and a very positive contest experience.

We had 19 members sign up for the competition by contributing a buck 
to the burger fund (many of them did not operate "full time").  Here are 
their scores:

If your club is looking for a way to increase contest participation or a 
way to get some of the newer contesters involved - you might try hosting a
tournament like this one.

Subject: ARRL CW DX test 40M results from W0UN
Message-ID: <199402211939.AA02442 at teal.csn.org>

George (W0UA) operated W0UN on 40Ms.  Propagation (as you all know) was 
relatively poor, but some observations may be in order.  Usually on 40M
from Colorado we can hear Europeans at around 2:30-3:00 p.m. local, but
can't work them.  They just CQ in our face, based on years of observations
from K0RF.  It is only in the last hour before sunset that we can start
working the big sigs, with signals getting better and better through the
evening until they peak at or just after their local sunrise.  This time out, 
however, we seemed to be able to work Europeans in the afternoon, not many 
and not easy, but at least they usually didn't CQ in our face.  
 
But, in the prime evening hours, the band went completely dead to Europe on 
Friday night and almost completely dead on Saturday night.  Pretty grim 
times, but the sigs did tend to come back somewhat for their sunrise.
 
Considering the conditions, I am quite pleased with George's score.  He 
managed to hang pretty close to the east coast multi-multis with their 
access to packet and spotting ops, and clearly much better European   
propagation.  Unfortunately there just isn't an endless wave of JAs any more, 
and we need to have good Europe to keep the qso total up where it needs 
to be.  And I have lots of sympathy for the Minn. zeros and the Wis. nines, 
especially since we have to go right through there to get to Europe!!
 
>From past experience, we need to have 60% or greater European QSOs to
be competitive.  And this requires very good propagation.  Unfortunately,
for this weekend George had 57% JAs and only 27% Europeans.
 
 
*   1994 ARRL DX CW   40M single band/op     932/106   296,376 points
*      (breaking the 0 district record of 229,890 points by 29%)
*               (sure glad KB0G is in Georgia!)
*     (Wonder what George could have done with good propagation?)
*
*  IC-781, Alpha 87A, 4/4 KLMs at 80/160 ft plus 4L M-squared at 80 ft.
 
Not sure if we can face a single band 40M effort on phone with the same
kind of propagation!  It has got to get better (doesn't it?---please?!?).
