Started 20 min late. I was out doing some last minute work on a 40m
antenna. I shouldn't have bothered, I only made one QSO there. QRN
on 40 was bad here. 20 was better. Sorry to the station I wouldn't
work because I had worked him before. It dawned on me as soon as it
was too late that I _could_ work him again! Then I had to break
myself of the habit of hitting the space bar and dupe-checking
everyone and erasing the call.
Someday I'm gonna get the hang of this contest...
Someday I'll have a decent contest station...
Someday I'll be ready for a contest _before_ it starts!
Famous last words! 8-) Enjoyed it anyway!

Message-ID: <Pine.SUN.3.91-FP.950723162250.4274E-100000 at cap1.capaccess.org>
1. Not all of us read our e-mail everyday, due to work schedules,
vacation, etc. So someties we (I) have several days of catching up to
do. All of my messages, several, and most of them short, were on one
day, Saturday, not multiple days.
2. I generally do not repeat the messages other people posted, contained
within my message. Initiating a response as a "re" is a convenience, to
not have to retype the reflector adr. You'll notice I didn't do that
this time.
3. I perceive a tendency for many to make pronouncements, which often
end with expressions like "nuff said," to indicate they do not welcome
further discussion. To me free and open discussion is a good thing. I
perceive that many are intolerant, though, of divergent viewpoints and
don't want to discuss issues.
4. Many people, when they tire of a discussion, or want to avoid free
and open discussion, launch insults. I think they often do this when
they run out of arguments to make on their side of the issue.
The above reasons are why many people who have good thoughts and good
comments they COULD make, instead choose to keep quiet. In any group
there are wise and prudent people and there are loose cannons. Loose
canons will spout opinions on anything and everything at the drop of a
hat. We give over our forum to them by default if we keep silent.

Message-ID: <9507231836.AA14208 at radar.nrl.navy.mil>
The "Q" code came from an International Radiotelegraph Convention much prior
to WW II and was intennded to meet some of the major needs in international
radio communication. "QRL? = Are you busy?" and "QRL = I am busy
Please do not interfere" have been in the code from the start.
Probably radio amateurs were no consideration in its origin, but some
amateurs have found it useful and perhaps put their own little twist on it.
When I first got on the air QRA (The name of my station is......)
was used by amateurs much like we now use QTH. And although I was
into traffic handling for a time, I dont remember QSL being used; "R"
meant the message was copied complete, for anything less fills were
requested. I guess amateur radio language is no more stationary than
that that we speak.

Subject: Computer Configuration (it works)
Message-ID: <199507240120.SAA28418 at mailhost.primenet.com>
First, it does all work with CT etc.
I use the DOS multiple boot-up configurations for some of the drivers.
One configuration boots up with network enabled, one boots up without.
My CONTEST configuration boots up without the sound drivers and the
network drivers.
Only one boot-up configuration would not allow it to work, but with a
couple boot-up configurations, IT ALL DOES WORK! Much thought went into
all this! I did think of the obvious stuff.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
>I don't think these configurations will work very well with CT. Too
>many port and IRQ conflicts. Suggest you try a LogicTech bus mouse
>on IRQ 2 instead of using serial mice, thereby freeing up one serial
>port/IRQ for other purposes.
If you notice, my "bus mouse" is at 338 IRQ 10. It is a special board
that emulates a "bus mouse" but uses a serial mouse with a Logitech bus
mouse driver. IRQ 2 does not work on my system, tried it.
There are NO port conflicts. Some IRQs are overlapped, but these are
devices that do not operate at the same time (drivers not loaded etc).
>The Ethernet cards and sound cards will not coexist gracefully with the
>DVP. You will need to move addresses and IRQs even if you are not

>and Ethernet cards before a phone contest, substituting in your DVP.
The ethernet board and DVP are not at the same address any longer. One
is at 300, the other 303. I had to fix that. When I boot up for CONTEST
operation, the sound drivers are not loaded, so there is no IRQ conflict.
I don't have to remove hardware, just don't load the drivers, which is what
I do during any contest.
>>All COM ports must have a unique IRQ if you are going to use them all
>with CT.
Yes, I won't use my R-7000 scanner in CT. Won't run both ethernet and
serial network in CT at same time. Wont use the Pro-audio spectrum in
CT either. All handled by the boot-up configuration. I picked which
ports went where very carefully (it took some time). CT can use all
that it needs.

It works great as is. More IRQ flexibility would be great, but don't
need it, now.

Great.

Refer to your DOS manual under "MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS." That is the

My CONTEST configuration boots up without the sound drivers and the
network drivers.
Only one boot-up configuration would not allow it to work, but with a
couple boot-up configurations, IT ALL DOES WORK! Much thought went into
all this! I did think of the obvious stuff.

If you notice, my "bus mouse" is at 338 IRQ 10. It is a special board
that emulates a "bus mouse" but uses a serial mouse with a Logitech bus
mouse driver. IRQ 2 does not work on my system, tried it.
There are NO port conflicts. Some IRQs are overlapped, but these are
devices that do not operate at the same time (drivers not loaded etc).

The ethernet board and DVP are not at the same address any longer. One
is at 300, the other 303. I had to fix that. When I boot up for CONTEST
operation, the sound drivers are not loaded, so there is no IRQ conflict.
I don't have to remove hardware, just don't load the drivers, which is what
I do during any contest.

Yes, I won't use my R-7000 scanner in CT. Won't run both ethernet and
serial network in CT at same time. Wont use the Pro-audio spectrum in
CT either. All handled by the boot-up configuration. I picked which
ports went where very carefully (it took some time). CT can use all
that it needs.

It works great as is. More IRQ flexibility would be great, but don't
need it, now.

Great.

Refer to your DOS manual under "MULTIPLE CONFIGURATIONS." That is the
missing link, I think.

Mas III JE3MAS (ex. 5H1HK), the author of PED the contest trainer,
left Osaka for 6Y with his family. He will stay there for a few years.
Please do NOT send mail to his @niftyserve.or.jp address anymore as he
has lost access.
He brings IC736 so that he can do contest. Let's hope he can find good

It has been pointed out that one of my messages has appeared multiple
times. I do NOT know why. I appologize, but somehow something out of
my control caused the repeat. I use Winsock/Eudora and I cannot see
how it could go out more than once! Sorry.
I think the content was also an issue with one guy. The point I'm at
is configuring my station for 2-radio (SOP or MS/M2). I am going to
great lengths to setup everything correctly. On Friday I installed
a special 4-port serial board in my contest computer and analyzed my
configuration. I thought that contest computer configuration for use
with popular programs would be fair game on the reflector. Someone
complained about my post not being of interest to anyone.
I know for sure it was interesting to one DX station who I am trying to
help with his configuration right now.
I see lots of stuff of no interest to me, but I use the delete key and
figure others find it interesting.
Can someone tell me what is an appropriate subject and how to stop the
repeats?

Message-ID: <199507240257.TAA03198 at mail.eskimo.com>
Since the mail just keeps pouring in I'll reword and restate an earlier post.
Thanks again to all of the kind folks who pointed out the error in my *"QRL"
Apologies* post where I managed to mix-up the name associated with W4KFC's
call. I did in fact know that Gus Browning=W4BPD and Vic Clark=W4KFC. I
even have a W4KFC QSL hanging on the wall in front of me. When I was
composing the original apology message I had planned on also making
reference to Gus, but changed my mind. In the process of cutting and
pasting I managed to transpose the names (not once but twice). A bad thing
to do considering my earlier faux pas.
My personal favorite was Vic. This IS NOT meant to be any offense to Gus, I
just knew more about Vic.
Thanks for the help. I'll not waste any further bandwidth on this one.
Just trying to close the floodgate a little bit. (21 additional messages
just this morning!).

Message-ID: <199507240413.VAA21946 at ix.ix.netcom.com>
According to the July/August issue of NCJ, the Worked all Europe CW
contest is 19-20 August. In August QST, the date is listed under
that date header, but the text below indicates that the contest is
12-13 August. I thought the WAE CW was always the 2nd full
weekend in August. (ie 12-13 August)
Does anyone have additional information regarding the actual
date this year?
Many thanks & 73 Phil kt3y

Sure, but that's the exception by far. That's just contesting...it's not
intentional and is almost by definition unavoidable. It's irritating, but
not really the major concern, which is how many "channel-seconds" are
occupied by unuseful and counterproductive transmissions.

Subject: LPT1 Band Port Only!
Message-ID: <199507240516.WAA11147 at mailhost.primenet.com>
Below is my updated contest configuration for my contest computers.
(Feel free to depress the delete key at this point if you feel ill.)
There was an error in that only LPT1 can be used by CT for band info
for the Top Ten Decoder. Please note that I have moved my printer
to LPT3. Also, I have included the possibility of 2-radio operation
with CT as well as N6TR (single computer).
Anyone have the pinout for the CT control signal (radio 1/2)? Ever
built a relay box? For CW? For SSB?
Anyone see any other problems, now?
BTW: Computer configuration precedes installation of the Top Ten
Decoders, then an automatic antenna switch, and finally the
installation of the Dunestar filters. It all fits together
and soon I will be past the dubious job of configuring my two
computers. This thread deals with 2-radio operation and I
have received so little information, there is nothing to try
to summarize. Please don't flame, I'm just trying to set up
my station and others have asked to be provided with the info
I get. For now, this is about it. Bear with me and I'll try
to move on to the fun stuff, otherwise just delete everything.
Before I know it, an entire station will be built.
