Sandy and others,

If the mouse pad is big enuff to contain both the paddle AND your hand it
will both help hold the paddle and raise your hand to the correct level.
Its also a bit softer than most desks.

WRTC - The Contest

12Z (5 AM PDT....yawn)   AR wins the coin toss and starts the contest. We 
get 7003 and start running. JA, UA0, Ws. 10-Q rate meter peaks at 236. Hour 
ends up at 151 Qs. Later find out that N2NT has been listening to us, and 
has figured out that "that *has* to be AR running those JAs".

13Z   DG takes the chair as the rate drops.  Some heckler shows up and sends
"jerk out of the band" over and over again. Rate meter peaks up as high, but
drops to very low rates sporadically. Near the end, people stop calling 
altogether, so I run around calling other WRTC guys. 112 Qs for the hour.

14Z   AR again. Stays on 40 for a while. I tune 20 waiting for it to open. 
First stations heard are K1RM and W1WEF, running mostly Ws. When more 
stations begin to appear, we go to 20. No rate. Back to 40 CW. Rate meter 
hits 220 briefly. I listen on 40 SSB - K6S is there, but only working locals.
Tune 20 SSB; the only guy there is W9RE. 116Qs for the hour.

15Z  DG back. 20 opens. Boom. Rate meter goes up and up. Mostly Ws, but some
JAs, and apparently we hit the VE3 cluster. 156 Qs, all CW.

16Z AR tries 15 CW. Runs locals, but nobody else. Hits 20 SSB - boom! 10-Q 
meter hits 455. All W5/6/7. Nothing way back east. At 1630 I hear W6W 
running guys I can't hear on the dipole. K6K is rocking to the east coast 
at 1640, and I still can't hear the guys he's working. 150 Qs for the hour, 
71 SSB, 79 CW.

17Z  DG takes the chair. Dammit, we gotta get things going on 15. Try again 
- no good. Back to 20 SSB for a few minutes, then back to 15 CW. It's 
getting a bit better, maybe we should try SSB. It's OK, but not great. We 
figure we need to keep the SSB rate at 2x the possible CW rate or else go 
back to CW. We are changing modes a lot trying to keep the rate up. 116 hour
with all the band changes.

18Z  AR does 15 SSB for a while - it's the best rate we can scare up. Goes 
to CW and a KH6 calls. Yes!!! I hear K6K work W1BIH on 10 CW on the 
spotting rig and I CAN HEAR 'BIH!! We go to 10, and work some, but nobody 
seems loud. K1ZX calls in, followed 6 Qs later by AC1O. Sorry, Walt. 
End the hour on SSB. 141 total; 92 of them on SSB.

19Z  DG sits in. Can't find rate anywhere. Try 10 SSB, 10 CW, 20 CW, 15 CW. 
All are pretty bad. I heard an XE on 10 SSB while I was on the spotting rig;
I point the quad south towards the rest of the WRTC guys and hope for the 
best. Bingo - two XEs call in. I try to get a good freq on 15 CW, but S50C 
opens up. All the Ws would rather work him than me! Hey! He's stolen my 
freq. Oh, well - working Europe on 15 would be cool and we could use the 
mult. But he never hears me. Much time has passed, and the rate is in the 
tank. QSO number 1000 is VE7/W6AQ on 20 CW. Only 87 this hour, all but 5 
on CW. Frustrating, but I can't get anything going on any band. What am I 
doing wrong? Has there been a flare or something horrible?

20Z  AR takes over. Yeah...if anyone can pick up the rate, it's my ole 
partner here. He bounces around, trying to get it going. I find TI1C on 
15 - aha! A mult. Quick, John - 21248! Right now! Then I hear Carlos say  
"Sure, I'll go to 20 - 14248 right now". Hold it John - someone just passed 
him to 14248 - go back to 20! He does, but Carlos works his one guy then 
goes right back to his pileup on 15. John snags him, but is buried while 
asking him to go back to 20. This puts us off the idea of passing mults. 
Bad move. Anyway, the rate still is lousy. 93 Qs for the hour, 46 CW, 47 
SSB.

21Z  DG again. 10 and 15 are history. 20 CW is picking up. K1ZX asks us to 
go to 15, and I try it. Nada. Back to 20. At the end of the hour, I switch 
to SSB. Pow! 10-Q meter hits 460. End the hour with 141; 52 of 'em in 10 
minutes of SSB.

22Z  AR bouncing between 20 CW and 20 SSB. Rate is up and down. 120 for the 
hour.

23Z  We have begun to hear some Europeans on 20 CW. And they can hear us if 
we call long enough! This raises our multiplier from pitiful to merely bad. 
It's only an 81 hour, but it's chock-full of mults.

00Z  AR takes over and really wants 20 SSB to produce. We waste 5 minutes 
calling TR8IG with no luck, but work YV, FM, and 5N0T. I am drinking 
"Tangerine Wavelength" to try and help the propagation, but it isn't helping.
122 Qs for the hour, mostly SSB.

01Z  DG on the run rig again. AR tunes the spotting rig on 20 between my CQs.
The rate is fair, and I knock off the mults as he finds them. G3TXF and 
GI0KOW call in. It's a struggle to get SK0HQ to hear us, but we make it. 
We end this hour with 112 Qs, for 1700 total and 1000 of them on 20.

02Z  AR has been tuning 20 for the last hour, and knows it's peaking, so he 
goes to 20 SSB. Rock and roll! 204 this hour, 177 on SSB, including GW4BLE 
calling in.

03Z  We both operate some this hour. We make two trips to 40 for mults 
(FM/WJ2O and W1AW/3). We hear ZD8Z on 40 CW, and he's real loud, but the 
pile up is enormous. He seems to be taking a long time to anser - maybe 
listening hard for weak WRTC guys, but it seems like a lost cause and we 
don't even try. I find out later that some WRTCers made it, and others 
worked ZD8DEZ. A double mult gets away. Some of the WRTCers are running on 
40, but we seem to be doing OK on 20. At the end of the hour, it looks like 
40 would have been a better choice. 86 Qs for the hour, but a lot of mults 
again.

04Z   We both put in some time this hour also. I hit 40 SSB, and have a huge
pile call in - almost all W5/6/7. Notable exceptions are K1EA and K3WW. The 
10-Q meter goes to 526. When it slows down, I do some 40CW, with trips to 
20 whenever AR has spotted 2 mults. Now our multiplier has risen from bad to
so-so.

05Z   Last hour - AR in the chair, doing 40 CW. I spot mults on 20 SSB - we
work KH0AC and 8J3XHQ (both of which turn out to be uniques for WRTCers, as
we later find out, and neither of which is removed from the log). We also 
get through the big pileup of WRTCers calling DU1SAN. I hear a P29, who is 
ragchewing and goes away before we can get him.

At the end, we have 2273 Qs before dupes (of which there are about 45). The 
log checkers remove about 6 Qs (plus penalty) from our log, and we agree 
they all deserved to go. There are a few more that are questionable, but 
it wouldn't matter anyway. AR has averaged 135 Qs per hour, and I've done 
115. But looking closer, our QSO POINTS per hour averages are almost 
identical (DG 209, AR 211). I've just done more CW and AR has done more SSB. 
Kind of a role-reversal from our usual.

Subject: NAQP Teams Concede!!
Message-ID: <199607200423.VAA01993 at wishkah.techline.com>

An anonymous source, usually thought reliable, has informed this writer that
many of the pre-registered NAQP teams have conceded! The reason given, the
source went on to say, was that the team members did not want to face the sure
ridicule which would result from being so soundly thrashed by the Underdogs.
A spokesman for the Underdogs said, "What a shame, we were hoping for at least
some token opposition. Maybe those teams will reconsider, after all, they will
regain their reputations after only a few years".

I cannot vouch for the accuracy of any of the above, but felt it was my bounded
duty to report same. I hope that someone will post some hard, accurate and
documented evidence regarding this matter. 73 es "Good luck in the Contest"

Hi Loyd, I'm using a Telrex tribander at 50' with a KLM 40M-1 5'
above it and they are 90 degrees oppisite...In english that means
the boom of the tribander and the length of the 40M-1 point in 
the same direction(s)...The only interference I get is when the
40M-1 gets paralell with the G5RV which is 25' feet below...And the
swr goes up...And I will add....The 40M-1 at 55' is great...locally
it has about 3-5 s-unit null on the points/ends and with stations
say in Calif., I'm in Oregon, sometimes there is no null....

April page 116.  Single operator stations can change bands as often as
they like.  All stations (except IARU HQ stations) are permitted only one
transmitted signal at a time.

So the HQ stations could actually have 12 stations on (2 per band,
cw/ssb) 6 bands.

Everything you wanted to know about WRTC-96, but were afraid to ask!  1000+
pages in paperback format; easily taken anywhere.  Just the thing to read
when the bands die at 0400 local time during the next contest.  Buy extra
copies and hand out at next year's Field Day to the shack-on-a-belt crowd.

The best WRTC post of all!!  But, one category was apparently missed... we
need to know what color of socks, ranked by order of finish.  Please hurry,
the NAQP contest starts in a few hours!!

I placed all the HP and LP together so no one would get mislead into 
thinking they have won something they did not. The scores are still marked
HP and LP so you can tell how you did against your own power.

If you send me a score with only single op on it and no phone, cw, or 
mixed on it, I will put you in the mixed section. Send me a correction 
and I will move you.

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.

        "I think that W1AW shouldn't just be an east coast thing and I
think next year it should be at W7RM."


        I had similar thoughts about moving W1AW - just didn't know 
where it should go. W7RM sounds good to me. Got my vote!

Since the WRTC has evolved into such a world class event, has anyone 
considered petitioning the Olympic Committee about adding it to future 
Olympics? Obviously, it won't get TV coverage like the puberty-deprived 
gymnasts, but neither do many other Olympic events...

I found that I can just fit my Brown Bros. paddle and computer keyboard on 
my keyboard shelf.  This keeps the paddle from moving at all.  There isn't 
much room to rest my arm, but since I don't use the paddle much during a 
contest, that does not really matter.

Hah!  You think you've got it ruff...  (Monty Python fans
will quickly recognized this skit),  the "Green Keys Team"
is going into the NAQP with the shift keys tied behind their
backs...  only 3 team members at 30 minutes before the gun
goes off.  And the way the bands sound right now, it looks
like the RF gods have pulled the rug out from under everyone!

... or a big CA station, W6QHS, W6EEN, N6ND. We suggested this to ARRL 
last year after they allowed W1AW operation from K1KI or wherever.

Subject: WRTC and the Olympics
Message-ID: <199607201805.LAA18678 at wolfe.net>

Barry,

The possibility of the WRTC  becoming a demonstration sport of the Olympics
has been part of the original dream.  I know it  may seem far-fetched to
many, but I really do believe that some day it will a recognized sport and
recognized by all as such. 

In 1990 in Seattle the WRTC was officially "sanctioned" by the Goodwill
Games, not as an official sport of the games, but a step in the right
direction. We have now had two very successful events for all to see, and
the idea of trying to become a demo sport in 2000 is a small step closer.  

It would take a concerted effort starting now to make it happen, but I think
it would add priceless
prestige to the hobby, and would most likely be worth the efforts.  

The effort would have to come from a radiosport sanctioning body, and the
WRTC would have to create an organization structure and aim clearly at the
goal.. At this point all we have is a group 
(from Seattle WRTC90 and WRTC96 in SF) whose  goal is to pass the baton to
the next group for WRTC 2000.  If any group has interest or questions about
WRTC2000 please contact me.

I dont know if there are already other "cerebral" sports  in the Olympics,
but would like to.
Anybody know if chess is a sport? 

73 to all,

Danny, K7SS (Team K6W):

   Hola!

  As Im about to get into my plane for WRTC, Just wanted to mention that
  only minor damages from the storm occured,"GOD, everything was built new
  since the past storms", Just a lot of communication towers suffered,
  mostly commercial stuff, my 40/15 mtrs tower was nearly on the floor
  broke the mast, the rotor and one of the top guys, but other than that
  everything is ok. thats it for now and our prayers go to all you guys
  in the east coast.

  Thanks

  Felipe

Guess it was conincidence since my inquiry last week, but just received 
the WAE 1995 result books and certificates (x 3, one for each mode!)
in today's mail.

If anyone can't access LA9HW's web page and is on the edge of their 
seats, lemme know, and I'll tell you how you did. 73 Barry

Subject: Possible interaction: 402-CD, 10-30mhz log?
Message-ID: <31F16047.27F6 at primenet.com>

Gentlemen,

I'm reinventing the antenna farm here this summer.  One idea involves 
putting a Cushcraft 2el 40 on the same tower as a 10-30mhz. log 
periodic.  Does anyone have any experience with the types of 
interaction I might see between the two antennas?  Seems like the wide 
frequency range of the log might multiply my problems over what I 
would see with a tribander, but maybe not.  The maximum separation I 
have available is about 13 feet.

Any thoughts?
