This is not my final score since a have a version on WF1B software that
needs a the new score file, just haven't done it yet.

Well this is it in a nut shell:

      420 qsos

      180 prefixes

      1100 plus points

      195,500 plus points

Had fun on this one even though I thought activity dropped off on
Saturday. Had on problem on Saturday night right before SSB sprint,
amplifer went haywire shut it down and found that it cooked my watt-
meter. Good thing I have spare.

Station setup:

      Icom 735 with timewave DSP-59
      Homebrew amp running 2 3-400z at 4000 vdc plate
      Antennas:
               Homebrew X-Beam for 40m @ 85ft
               Mosley Tribander @ 72 ft
               Sloper for 80m and 160m

Best time is hard to say when you from the black hole, maybe it was
Sunday morning at 1700z running europe for 2 hours or maybe it was
working europe at 2200z (dx said they heard me at 2100z but couldn't get
through), or maybe working 2 not 1 VE8's on 20m half hour apart.

Worked several new ones like C91A and TY1 on 15m at 1500z

Power output for contest was 1000 watts with lots to spare.

Had hardly any contacts on 80m due to wiping out the TV, XYL mad about
that, otherwise good sport. Oh well always a new problem here.

I am new at this digital contesting, but liking it very well. Need to
get into a good digital group soon to learn about all the tricks and
gagets the coastal contesters use to work those DX pileups.

Well, this summer I need to add preamps at all the antennas, and put a
monbander for 20m.

Will send in the updated score soon.

Had fun 73

Hi Richard

I've been distributing the contest information (rules & results)
to the JA ham magazines. But I have not gotton the response from
REF past few years on REF contest.

I saw your article on Contest reflector and I believe you have
the input from REF on the French contest. Would you send me the
past JA results of French contest? They will be really appreciated
for the publication. Past few years No official information from 
REF has been announced on these magazines and most JA contesters
does not believe that the French contest has been continueing!!

Thanks in advance

Well of course it wouldn't be a mult,but I heard V73C give someone #3 on 
20m. about 0045.  He couldn't hear me, though.  HR2BDC was also there 
briefly - I dragged him into the fray after running into him on the 
(nearly) dead band late in the Sprint.

Subject: Dayton in an RV ???
Message-ID: <9502071316.AA25460 at hp-and.an.hp.com>

I'm looking for info on 'doing Dayton' in an RV. This is due to the following
two firsts in my life:

   1. First Year I've owned an RV.
   2. First time the XYL has approved a Dayton Trip
      (She couldn't think of anything else to give me for Xmas)!

In particular, I'd like to get in touch with someone who has done it
and can give me pointers about where to stay, etc. Or do I just
try for a space with 110 power at the flea market?

Please excuse the use of bandwidth on the contest reflector -
Honest, I just wanna go to the Contest Forum! Hope this message
is humorous enough to make up for the spectrum consumption. Or
maybe I should look for Dayton.in.a.RV.ham.com.

Please reply direct-

-Tony, K1KP, fisher at hp-and.an.hp.com

Message-ID: <n1419974201.79375 at C813.NPT.NUWC.NAVY.MIL>

I'm posting this for John and Rick.

K1NG CQ 160 CW Multi Single 
      K1NG and KI1G ops

1062 Qs  /  56 Countries  /  59 Sections  /  452,252 points

EVERY antenna at K1NG was damaged to some extent by the Christmas 94 storm. 
The 80 meter beam is a total loss.  Most of the other beams are repairable. 
All the wire antennas were lost (except the Beverages).  The towers were all
ok ( John says due to his "superior engineering" (HI, HI)).  John and Rick
had time to put up a 160 diople and a quarter sloper for the test.

Plans are to have the new and improved K1NG back on line for 95 CQWW!
