Does anyone have any ideas on loading the N6TR NAMES.CMQ into extended
memory? Even though I have 4 megs of RAM on my 386, I keep running out of
memory during contests, especially when I use the Visible Dupe Sheet option.
Unfortunately, my computer background is very limited. 73, Paul

The only comment I have is the same one I have about all RTTY contests.
Is there anyway we can spread out on the band more. It seems everyone
only listens between 80-90. I did most of my CQ'ing below 80 and above
90. The LP stations cannot compete with the big guns in the middle. All I
ask is that we put the word out that there are stations on all parts of
the band. Still had a great time and thanks to everyone who worked me.
See everyone in CQWW.

How about all contests? In ZIP format, all my 95 SARTG files together
compress into a single 18.3 kb file (246 QSOs). I looked over the past 27
contests where I have saved the files in ZIP form, and the average size was
about 20 kb. The largest was last Field Day (1000+ QSOs) which was just over
51kb. The smallest.... well, we don't need to talk about that one. :-)
Postage to mail my logs to Sweden is going to cost $3.60. Now, let's see...
exactly how much does it cost to email a file to Sweden???

Well this was the first time I've spent more than a couple hours
operating the QSO Party. This time I made it 7 or 8 hrs, had to take
XYL out so I could contest and goto the Huntsville Hamfest all in the same
weekend. :)
292 x 92 = 26,772
Had alot of fun, never heard much on 10M but 20M conditions where pretty
good. 75M was all QRN here, local storms made it a real challenge.
The more I operate this contest the more I like it.

I have been amused by all the discussion regarding whether Beverages
should be made of copper or aluminum or steel wire. Copper seems to be
the wire of choice and doesn't cost that much anyway.
I built my first Beverage this past year. It was so easy I can't believe
I lived without one. Here's how to do it:
- Go to Home Depot (or other large hardware store) and buy 500 ft roll
#16 THHN or MTW wire. It's available in every color you can imagine for
about $15 per 500/ft roll.
- Go to local feed store and get some electric fence insulators. This
cost me about $3.
- Call your favorite radio dealer and order an ICE Beverage matching
box. Cost about $30.
- Go to Radio Shack and get a 400-600 ohm resistor. I actually used four
(4) 2K ohm resistors in parallel!
Roll out the wire in the desired direction. Mount the fence insulators to
convenient trees (my Beverage is not perfectly straight) about 7-9 feet
up. Connect one end of the wire to ground through the resistor. Connect
the other end to the matching box. Connect coax. Enjoy!
I did follow the conventional wisdom of sloping the ends down. I used
4 foot ground rods at each end.
I only have room for a 500 foot run. W3LPL has pointed out that 580' might
be a better length. Simple to solder some more wire on.
This antenna makes 80 and 160 enjoyable. Less than $50 to hear Europeans all
summer on the LF bands seems like a good deal if you have the space.
When the antenna broke this summer, I used a split bolt connector to
join the two pieces back together. You can find these for about $1 in
the electrical aisle of the Home Depot (or hardware store). No solder
required!

Message-ID: <199508210152.UAA06915@ phoenix.net>
As long as we're pursuing the "what to get rid of" wish list on new
radios, what about this:
A "Roll Your Own" or Home Brew (what a concept!) rig. Here's how it
would work - First - the radio itself would just be in a metal
enclosure, with appropriate ports for power, antenna connections,
amplifier interface, key, mic, etc. But most important would be an
interface port for connection to the computer. No dials, knobs, or
buttons! You could put the thing on the floor!
Now, assuming the fuctionality in the radio, some fancy software that
would let you configure your own options in relation to mode,
filters, read-outs, memories, split options, electronic keyer, even
frequencies (this could keep everybody in their respective band
privileges), and on and on, and could even allow you to specify how
all of this might be graphically displayed or not. Switch the
settings and configuration easily with a mouse or even touch screen.
Maybe you could even give it a name of your choice - like the "NJ1V
599"!
Now just think of the possibilities! Locking out 2nd radios during
multi contests would be a piece of cake. Feeding information to
another multi radio on the network would be duck soup! Interface to
logging and contest programs would be greatly simplified. 100 watts
would really be that, as would 5 watts. How about building in some
monitor display capabilities? Almost an endless list!
A concept like this would also make upgrading of the radios alot
easier, instead of replacement, so I'm sure it would not be something
we can look forward to anytime soon! Gotta keep selling those new
models!

Subject: Re- S-Meters
Message-ID: <199508210303.RAA00937 at hookomo.aloha.net>
Hi Jeff
The obvious S-meter unit to use, were it to be accurate and useful,
seems to me, ought to be the dBm, or in our case,
-dBm. This unit is used "universally" in radar, microwave
communication technology, etc. In a 50 ohm impedance
system, 0 dBm is the power being dissipated in a 50 ohm
resistor when the I-squared-R power across it is 1mWatt.
And, if my arithmatic is correct, one-half microvolt across
the same 50 ohms is -113 dBm. In microwave communications
work, the standard for thermal noise energy in the systems is referenced
to the noise power in the 50 ohm resistor, at "room" temperature
with a 1mHz bandwidth of spectrum of rf energy (anywhere in the
spectrum, it is not frequency dependant) in noise power in the
1 mHz bandwidth, is -114 dBm.
Per the ARRL Handbook, many years ago, manufacturers
of Amateure band receivers wanted to establish 50 microvolts
across 50 ohms as an S-9 signal, with S-unit steps below
that occuring in -6 dB decrements. An S-9 signal would become a
-73 dBm signal on our new dBm scale. (50 microvolts is 100
times the one-half microvolt calculated above to be -113 dBm;
since power goes as the voltage change squared, that becomes
a 10,000 times change in power, or 40 dB stronger signal, or
-113 dBm + 40 dB + -73 dBm.
Then were it possible, the S-unit to dBm conversion would be:
S-9 -73 dBm
S-8 -79
S-7 -85
S-6 -91
S-5 -98
S-4 -104
S-3 -110
S-2 -116
S-1 -121.
Fortunately, we don't use 1Mz bandwidths for HF communications,
otherwise our weak DX signals would be burried in the -113 dBm noise
level. In fact, DX signals are typically searched for by CW ops using
500 kHz bandwiths in the IF passband. This bandwidth decreases the
thermally generated noise in our receiver's system by the ratio of
the 1mHz to 500 Hz bandwidth difference, or a lowering of noise power
by 33 dB (1 mHz down to 1kHz is a drop of 1000 times in bandwidth, or
30 dB, and dropping from 1000 Hz to 500 Hz is a drop of one-half, or
another 3 dB drop, netting the 33 DB drop in noise power). The thermal
noise energy then presented at the input antenna terminals of any of
our transceivers in 500 Hz of RF bandwidth is then -113 dBm ( the energy
in 1 mHz) plus drop of 33 dB from the bandwidth narrowing to 500 Hz,
or an input thermal noise level of -146 dBm.
Now the ARRL test lab engineers over the years have measured the
minnimum discernable signals (MDS's) of nearly all of the rigs used
by contesters and the deserving DX searchers. These are tabulated in
each edition of the ARRL's Equipment Buyer's Guide for tests in both
the 20 and 80 meter bands. Some examples of their measurments at
20 meters for the rigs many of us use were:
FT1000D - 137 dBm
FT-980 -138
TS-950SD -142 dBm
TS-930S -139
Unfortunately, the ARRL data does not tell us what IF bandwidth
filters they were using when the data was taken, but from what we've
just calculated it's a pretty safe bet they were using 500 Hz bandwidths
in these tests, as the few dBs difference between the thermal levels
measured and the actual thermal noise in 500 Hz of spectrum width
of -146 dBm is the added noise in the RF front ends of the rigs tested,
or their so called noise figures.
It is because of the real meaning within dBm numbers that can be
obtained, that I propose it for the "new" S-meter standard in a futuristic
new rig. Unfortunately it will be very diffiacult in actual practice to
attain,
because the measurment has been conveiiently taken from the AGC
voltage in all modern rigs. Because the gain distribution is different for
each band in each manufacturer's desings, the AGC voltage developed
for a given signal level is different on each band; therefore at least two
and probably more parameters are changing among rigs which will
yield different S-meter readings for the same absolute received signal
level: the nosie figure of the rig changes per band, and the stage
gain distribution changes per band.
A way of actually measuring the received signal level, at RF, would
probably be required, or laboratory spectrum analyzer technology
would be needed to get much better S-meter reading acurracy
no matter what the scale reading unit may become, but its fun
to dream about it, isn't it!
By the way, an excellent book which covers these topics in
great detail is ON4UN's book, "Low Band DX'ing." He avers
that for an SSB signal, when using 3 kHz bandwidth receiver filters,
the receiver noise floot is -129 dBm, that the minimum, operator
useable signal is with a signal to noise ratio of 10 dB, or with an
input signal level to the rig of -119 dBm, or a little stronger signal
than the S-1 level of -121 dBm the rig builders of some years ago
were trying to push as the amateur S-meter unit scale.
Well, Jeff, I am afraid I got a little long-winded in my reply, but
your question was a good one.

CQ-CONTEST at TGV.COM Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) List
Revised: May 12, 1995
What is CQ-CONTEST?
CQ-CONTEST at TGV.COM is an electronic mail reflector dedicated to hams
interested in all types of amateur radio contesting. This is a good
place for score reports, expedition rumors, and other contest-related
discussion or announcements. This forum is more like the NCJ than
QST; INFO-HAMS at UCSD.EDU and rec.radio.amateur.misc are good places to
look for a more rounded discussion of the hobby.
Although there is overlap between contesters and DXers, CQ-CONTEST is
not a DX-oriented group. DX at UNBC.EDU is an electronic mail mailing
list dedicated to the discussion of DXing. For details on how to
subscribe to this and other mailing lists, consult the List of Lists
at the end of this message.
Each message you send to CQ-CONTEST at TGV.COM will be sent out to all
the other subscribers, kinda like a 2-meter repeater that has a
coverage radius of 12,000 miles or so. Think of sending mail to the
list as the equivalent of an ANNOUNCE/FULL message on PacketCluster.
Use regular email to send a message to a specific individual.
Electronic mail is also different from packet radio, in that many
subscribers receive their email through commercial services such as
CompuServe and MCImail. In essence, many people are paying for each
byte of every message sent to CQ-CONTEST. In order to minimize
spurious messages, follow the operating hints detailed below.
How do I join CQ-CONTEST?
Subscription management is handled automatically by a program that
answers mail send to CQ-CONTEST-REQUEST at TGV.COM. Send a message to
CQ-CONTEST-REQUEST at TGV.COM that says SUBSCRIBE if you wish to join the
group, or UNSUBSCRIBE if you want to drop out. The Subject: line is
ignored. Messages sent to CQ-CONTEST at TGV.COM are broadcast to *all*
readers, so don't send subscription requests there.
What are the suggested "operating practices" for CQ-CONTEST?
Put your name and call sign on every message you send. We don't all
know everyone by just a call or a nickname.
Use a subject line that indicates the true subject of your message.
Wait a while before answering someone's question. Six other people
have probably answered it already. Most answers should go directly
to the person who posed the question, rather than to the list.
Unlike PacketCluster, many people pay $$$ when they receive messages.
Some people pay per message, some per byte. Therefore, please take
this into consideration when writing a response. Would you pay $0.50
to read the message that you just wrote?
Eschew flamage. If someone sends a flame to the list and you can't
bite your tongue, send your flaming reply directly back to the flaming
individual, not back to the list. No one wants to pay $1.00 to read
these messages (the original flame + your reply). Treat flamers the
way you would 2-meter repeater jammers - ignore them.
Make sure there is something of value in each message you send to the
list. Avoid messages that are a complete reprint of someone else's
message, with nothing but "I agree" or "Me too" added to the bottom --
not much value there.
Some people pay by the byte, so when following up to someone else's
message, be sure to include only the essential pieces or thread of
the note. Don't include those 20 extra header lines that your mail
gateway tacked onto the original message.
How can I get CQ-Contest in digest form?
Tack (je1cka at nal.go.jp) has graciously offered to redistribute
CQ-Contest messages in digest form. This means that all
messages posted to CQ-Contest on a given day will be bundled
together and resent as a single message to the subscribers of
Tack's list. This is useful for people with Internet providers
that place a limit on the number of messages you can have in
your mailbox at once. This is the case for many of the JA
subscribers.
To subscribe to JE1CKA's CQ-Contest-Digest list, send a message to
Contest-Request at DUMPTY.NAL.GO.JP that says:
SUBSCRIBE cq-contest-digest your_callsign <your_email_address>
If you are subscribed to CQ-Contest, remember to send the a message to
CQ-Contest-Request at TGV.COM that says
SET NOMAIL
Since you will be getting the messages in digest form, you won't need to
get them directly from CQ-Contest at TGV.COM, but you will need to remain
subscribed if you still want to post messages.
How can I fetch messages from the CQ-Contest archive?
You can fetch messages from the CQ-Contest archive by sending a message to
FileServ at TGV.COM that says
SENDME CQ-CONTEST-ARCHIVE.yyyy-mm
where yyyy-mm is the year and month of the archive desired. For additional
information, you can send a message to FileServ at TGV.COM that says HELP.
How can I find out the email address of a particular contester?
George Fremin, WB5VZL (geoiii at bga.com), maintains a fairly current list
of contester email addresses. Send him a note to them asking for his
lists. You can also get a list of registered CQ-Contest subscribers
by sending a message to CQ-Contest-Request at TGV.COM that says REVIEW.
If that doesn't work, trying calling the person you seek on the telephone
and asking for their email address directly. Do not post a message to
CQ-Contest that says "Does anyone have the email address for ______?"
How can I find out more about the Internet?
Pick up a copy of the book _The Internet Companion_ by Tracy LaQuey,
Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-62224-6. If your local technical book
store doesn't carry it, you can order from Computer Literacy,
2590 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95131. Their phone number is
408-435-0744.

Twisted pair?!? You mean fiber optic cable....Sure would be a hell of a lot
easier and cheaper to run 1 fiber optic cable to each tower than half a dozen
hardlines...tie in your rotator controls, etc... run electric to the base
of the tower and you're all set.
It should be the next wave of amateur technology...integrated computer control
and "lossless" feedlines.
