CT Question

[Nzharps at aol.com]

The K8AZ crew used CT 9.15 during CQ WW SSB last month. We 
know that 9.26 is out there, but wonder if there is any reason 
to use it as oppossed to the earlier version?  We had no problems
using 9.15 in our M/S environment with four radios/computers.
Did anyone that did M/S encounter problems with 9.26?

   Looking for some direction,
    Ron, K8NZ

I was not going to respond to this thread but the scores I have been posting
has been mentioned so I feel I need to put my two cents in.

First and I could be wrong about this, this reflector has nothing to do with
CQ Magazine. I thought it was just a niffy name for it, since we as
contesters say it so much. Before I posted the RTTY contest scores I asked
everyone on the reflector was it alright. 100% of the replies stated that
this is a contest reflector and if it is a contest it should be here. So as
far as posting the ARRL SS scores, WAE, JA, and any other things pretaining
to contests, this should be the place to do it.


I do feel that the equipment stuff that pretains to contesting should be
here. I mean antennas, two radio hookup, and just anything to do with
contesting. Since there are so many ways to get QSL info, I feel it should
not be here. I have always said there should be a QSL Info reflector. A lot
of the new contesters can pick up some good hints about getting their
equipment ready for the contest here.

Bottom line, this is a contest reflector and it is the height of contest
season so it should be filled. You have two choices here. One stay on and
get the mail or get off. Not trying to be crude but facts are facts. You do
not need to type anything and flood other peoples mail, just make a choice.

Interesting note. Out of all the scores and mail I have received since doing
the scores I have only received one negative response. I basically told him
the same thing. If Trey wants me or the majority wants me to I will stop
putting any scores on it, but I doubt that. Till then I will post any
contest that I have scores for.

Sorry to tie up bandwidth but when my name is mentioned I like to respond.

Yup, this reflector is just like being in a real contest.   If you are 
easily distracted by frequency fights, people who dupe you, people who 
send at 10 wpm, send their last two, whatever, you should just give up 
contesting.   If you can't handle most of the posts here, you probably 
don't have what it takes to be a contester.   In a contest, you would
turn off the radio.  Here, you should unsubscribe.  In real contests, 
I'm more of a search and pounce person, and that works for me on the 
reflector too.  If it's interesting, work it; if it's not, just keep
turning the knob...
