Ah, what we need is a program to convert CT's Master.dta to a "RUFZ" *.dta
file. Then we would have a practice program with all the current calls.

Having lots of fun with RUFZ.

Someone please email me direct with info on how to convert PARIS to WPM.

Thanks,

This might be easy. 

MASTER.DTA of CT is the ASCII callsign data separated by "space" 
with binary headers.
RUFZFILE.DTA of RUFZ is simple ASCII callsign data with one 
callsign in each line.

You use the editor which has binary edit capability and remove 
all binary headers of the copy of MASTER.DTA, then replace all 
"space" code with "LF+CR" code. This will be the same structure 
of the RUFZFILE.DTA. Rename the produced file to RUFZFILE.DTA 
or merge them into one file as RUFZFILE.DTA.
** Do not edit MASTER.DTA itself, copy to another file like 
RFZFILE1.DTA then edit it. Without this procedure You'll lost it.

I've never tried this but will work.

Had some incorrect descriptions;

The separater is not SPACE but "^@"(00h).

:   all binary headers of the copy of MASTER.DTA, then replace all 
:   "space" code with "LF+CR" code. This will be the same structure 

So replace all (00h) code with (0Ah)="^J aka LF". 
"^M aka CR"=(0Dh) was not required.
I confirmed the file produced by above procedure worked fine 
with RUFZ.

Sorry for the inconvenient informations.

* Do not forget to send your RFZHISCR.DTA to me for listing.

Hi Guy,
        As well as  HS5HSH  is ok. :-)

AA5UO provided C3 gain and F/B figures which I strongly believa as they show
without the slightest doubt that wa are talking about 2 el. beam per band.
12 & 17m figures show the interaction of all 7 elements on non-resonant bands
Following the same logic, one can conclude that 20m reflector doesn't help much
with 10m & 15m as their directors are NOT improving 20m figures!  All the other
nice things about C3 one can read in June 95 QST!

WA2SRQ conclusions are absolutely right in all respects.

I like Mats' point -- here's a thought:  The most important thing about a 
callsign is that it be loud (and that the op can copy the answers).  I 
think Mats' point that the callsign be on enough to be recognized easily 
is a good one too.  There comes a point the odd long ones like WN4KKN, 
WD8AUB, WD8LLY, and KA4RRU stand out and are memorable.

In my previous message about C3, I should have said:  20m & 15m reflector
do NOT help 10m pattern much as 10m director is not improving lower bands!
NCJ photo of C4 is not good enough to understand 40m operation.  Any help?
