A small humorous note:

When I worked YT1AD in the contest, I sent "Hi Hrane" amd received no 
response from the op. Now I see Hrane was not operating his station!

Just shows to go you.  :-)

Subject: The Great Pizza Challenge: K1ZX Takes The Pie
Message-ID: <2.2.32.19960715142755.006fdcec at pop.gate.net>

Well, both the 1996 WRTC event and the Great Florida Contest Group Pizza
Challenge are now history.  In the latter, K1ZX ("anchovies do NOT stink!")
stormed to a decisive victory on all bands, beating AC1O 53-50 on 40, 48-42
on 15 and 51-50 on 10 (we both got the sweep on 20, although I worked 20
stations on 20 SSB just in case a tie-breaker was necessary).  ZX has thus
once again demonstrated why he is the Bill Clinton of the FCG and I am its Gore.

Both the Pizza Challenge and the WRTC were great fun, and EVERYONE involved
deserves a big "TU".  (Our Pizza Challenge, and its propagation on this
reflector was, of course, a thinly-veiled effort to generate both interest
in, and enthusiasm for, the WRTC event among non-team members.)  And one
WRTC comment: In my opinion, the two AH3 "wild card" teams" were right up
there with the leaders in terms of operating skills.  

And now to get ready for the next Florida Contest Group meeting, when the
K1ZX Victory Cry will emanate yet again from the pizzeria kitchen:

"Anchovies Coming -- One Order!!"

    First of all, let me congratulate with WRTC96 winners, and
    with all the WRTC96 partecipants.
      
    Thank you also to John, K2MM for having reported results on
    the reflector so clearly an quickly.

    Really the average score, in terms of qsos is big for everyone,
    and this in spite of sunspots lack, season and time of operation.

    What's instead a little bit surprising, for me, is the difference 
    of mults between the "top" scorers and the average of the list.

    WRTC96 operator list, is probably the collection of the most
    skilled and experienced contest operators. Difficult to believe
    that such a "cream" failed 50-100 mults, i.e. 100% of their
    total, without a "technical" problem as a reason. 

    Here in EU, ( at least on my contest place ), it was extremely
    hard (impossible is the right word...) to hear the very most of 
    WRTC partecipants with few exceptions, even if knowing calls and
    frequencies in advance by the several connectible...Megaclusters.

    Less than 10 of them was readable, the others hadn't ever, any
    time, the power to break out qrm and be workable, at least here.

    This concerning 20 meters, on 40, 15 and 10 the lack of signals
    from wrtc stations was total.

    To give myself an explaination about this fact, I'm asking myself
    if some of WRTC station had very big antennas efficiency compared,
    with the others. May be some ground feature, brought some antenna
    to have lower radiation angles, expecially on 40 and 20 meters.

    A confirmation of this could be seen if winners and top scorers had
    more distant mults and qso, expecially on 40meters.
    
    It will be very interesting to know if also other distant stations
    noticed differences in WRTC stations signal.

    And to have breakdowns to see how the scores came out.

	This was a blast. Mother nature rounded up a great tropical storm
	for us in the Northeast, couldn't cut the lawn, till the garden
	blah,blah blah. Time to play radio.

	The Ops in WRTC are the best. They were all pretty evenly matched
	in signal strength here in the Northeast. Occasionally one would
	pop way up in sig strength on the higher bands. Must've hit that

	E cloud just right...

	So, I'm running less of a station than them, my signal must've
	super pw. I'd crank up CT to match their speed (40 wpm typ) and
	they would get my call first time. Amazing!

	Highlight for me was S50HQ replying with my first name. Anyone
	know who was operating there?

	Congratulations to the operators and organizers. You're all first
	class winners in my book!

REMEMBER THESE ARE NOT OFFICIAL AND DO NOT SEND ME ANY LOGS OR ATTACHED
FILES!!

I assumed from reading the Rules that there is no High and Low Power 
Classes. Most people are sending in whether they used HP or LP. Since
they are taking the time to do this I will break them down for them. 

Where you see a number between the zones and Hq columns means that the 
person added them together.

The ARRL has FOUR (4) ways to enter ALL ARRL contests.

Within 30 days after the contest, send your entries via:

INTERNET - ASCII summary sheet and ASCII log file
          (following the ARRL Suggested File Format)
           to:  contest at arrl.org

           Merge the summary sheet and log file together
           into one file with an ASCII text editor and
           send on Internet as a text message.

ARRL BBS - ASCII summary sheet and ASCII log file
          (following the ARRL Suggested File Format)
           BBS up to 14.4-k baud
           telephone: (203) 665-0090

           ZIP the summary sheet file and the log file
           together with PKZIP.EXE and upload your
           compressed file to the ARRL BBS or upload the
           files separately.

DISK -     Paper summary sheet and ASCII log file
          (following the ARRL Suggested File Format)
           3.5 or 5.25 inch diskettes (high or low density)

           Copy your <call sign>.LOG file to a floppy
           diskette and mail along with your printed
           summary sheet file to ARRL HQ.

PAPER ENTRY - Official forms or reasonable facsimiles
              Summary sheet, logs, dupe sheets


Mailing Address: ARRL Contest Branch
                 225 Main Street
                 Newington, CT 06111


When submitting contest entries electronically, you should include
an ASCII summary sheet and an ASCII log (following the ARRL Suggested
Standard File Format). Dupe sheets and other breakdown files are
NOT needed.

With most of the popular contest logging programs (CT, NA, N6TR, etc),
the summary sheet file is the ????????.SUM and the log file
is <your call sign>.LOG (KR1R.LOG). If you are using one of these
computer program generated summary sheets, be sure to add any missing
information to your summary sheet file (ARRL Section, high power,
low power, QRP, etc). We recommend that you use the summary sheet files
(*.FRM) found on this disk. The *.FRM files have "blanks" for all the
necessary information.

The following is the ARRL Suggested Standard File Format and a sample file.

Refer to your software manual for instruction for generating
an ASCII file in the correct ARRL format.


                     ARRL Suggested Standard File Format
                      For Submission of Contest Log Data


All files must be in standard ASCII format.

All files must be on an MS-DOS formatted disk, 3.5 inch (720-KB or 1.44-MB)
or 5.25 inch (360-KB or 1.2-MB); uploaded to the ARRL BBS (203-665-0090);
or sent via Internet (contest at arrl.org).

The diskette label should clearly indicate the call sign used, contest name, 

entry class, and date of the contest.

The log data file name shall consist of the call sign and the extension
".LOG".
For example: KR1R.LOG.

The log file must consist of one line of data per QSO (no more than
80 characters wide), without headers, footers, page breaks or other
non-ASCII characters.

All QSO data must appear in each line, aligned by columns, and must include
the following:

        band:  wavelength for HF and frequency for VHF.

        mode:  designator such as CW, PH, etc.

        date:  in MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY  format.

        time:  4-digit UTC without colons.

        call sign of station worked.

        complete exchange sent.

        complete exchange received.

        indication of multipliers:  for example an "*", section/prefix/zone, 

          or etc.

        points claimed:  ALL unclaimed QSOs must be "0" points.

        Multioperator, two-transmitter category log in the ARRL 
International
          DX Contest must indicate which transmitter made which QSOs.

        In contests that require rest periods, the "times on" and "times 
off"
          must be in a separate column.

A paper summary sheet is required of all logs, either an official ARRL 
summary
sheet or a close facsimile with a signed contest participation disclaimer.
Entries uploaded to the ARRL BBS or sent via Internet should include a 
summary
sheet file in lieu of a paper summary sheet.

All diskettes become the property of the ARRL and are not returnable.
