VOACAP

I have also downloaded the VOACAP windows version and it is as good 
as Gary says it is.  I also took Brian up on the utility he has 
generated for converting TA output patterns for use in VOACAP.  A few 
minutes of conversions has allowed me to model all of my antennas 
into VOACAP usable format.  Now the predictions I run will be more 
realistic.

BTW, Brian, thanks for the tip on how to convert the files.  It 
worked very well!

I grabbed them also - there are three programs actually - and am very 
impressed. I may even go get Brian's TA and his convertor program to run 
some local station's global prop characteristics with this tool.

THESE SCORES ARE NOT OFFICIAL!!!   I CANNOT ACCEPT ANY LOGS!!!!!
PLEASE SEND ALL YOUR LOGS TO THE ADDRESS IN CQ MAGAZINE!!

PLEASE READ THIS!! I cannot get your scores if you send them as an 
attached file to your mail. It takes me over 5 minutes just to do one 
score that way. If you do not have the time to type your score into the
text your email, I do not have the time to post it. I have stated this
every contest for over a year and people keep doing it. Also scores that
are sent in without being added up will not be posted. It is a lot easier
for you to add one score up than for me to do a 100. 

The address for the 3830 reflector is 3830 at akorn.net!! Maybe someone can
post on here how to subscibe to it. I am not sure and do not want to put
out any bad information.

Also as I stated in my post before the contest, I cannot do attached 
files. You need to send it in the form of email. Also please state your
full class on it, not just Single OP. If you do you go into the unlimited
class. 

Before everyone starts flaming me about where there scores are, I would 
like to explain. I received a list off 3830 from WZ1R. It only gave me 
classes for people as SO. I know some should be unlimited. If you would
just drop me a note I will be glad to move them.
