Use CT8 for Wisc QSO Party

Sat Mar 12 12:52:50 EST 1994

Contesters outside of Wisconsin that wish to enter Sunday (Mar 13) Wisconsin
QSO Party may wish to use the CT8 California QSO Party mode.  Just move the
following text into a text file and name the file CQP.DAT and put it in the
same subdirectory as your other CT files.  Besure to rename your previous
CQP.DAT file to CQP.SAV... otherwise you'll wipe out your CQP DAT file.

One other minor inconvenience... CQP and WQP score QSOs differently, so
you'll have to edit the summary file after the contest, giving SSB QSOs 1
point and CW QSOs 2 points.

A list of counties and rules were posted in a separate message a few days
ago, so I won't repeat them here.  Hope to work you on Sunday!  GO FOR THE
CHEESE!!

Tried this while getting ready for vacation and commuting to/fro AG6D 
(150 miles) -- about what I'd expect:

     AG6D    Single Band 40m  (N4TQO op)

    Q      C     Points    Hours

   117    40     14,040     5.1

TS930, Dentron amp (800w), CT v8.45

Comments:  the 40M4 (130') is intermittent, ended up using the 40-2CD 
(65') for everything, dipole once in awhile for Carib.  Was not able to 
figure out the nuances of the DVP board and TSRs in real time.  The band 
was not bad to Asia/Oceana, and seemed ok (but tough) to Eu on Friday 
night.  Activity did seem up a little on Saturday night -- ran a few JA's.

Special thanks to Al, AG6D for his station and his forbearance (phone 
contests???)...  See you in WPX.

73, Steve N4TQO

Tnx for good feedback on my query about cars.

For reasons of physical comfort, namely my back, if I replace the Aerostar
I will get a Bronco or Trooper type or a small pickup.

I am told that Japanese cars have much more solid state stuff to go awry
when running a rig, and that Ford seemed to have best electronics.

Again, the concerns about RF interfering with vehicle and vice versa are and
an issue. Any two cents or rumors accepted.

Tnx Bob

OK, OK, so sue me.... I've made a semi-last minute decision
to go to Dayton. Anybody got floor space for Thu/Fri/Sat night
for a ham with sleeping bag? Will gladly share cost.
