 >2) Have a check list

         Gary W0TM has a good CT checklist on his Website at:

http://www.w0tm.com/w0tmoper.htm

Click on the dot before "CT operating aid" and you can download .pdf
pages in Word suitable for printing templates including command summaries.
Here are W0TM's settings:

             Initial setup
1.  Set computer to GMT time and date
2.  Go to DOS prompt
3.  C:\CD\CT
4.  Load FT1000MP  and network TSRs
5.  File name of contest  .bin
6.  Comm settings ­ FT1000MP and network
7.  Insert blank floppy and start AutoSave
8.  Set desired Text Commands:
     SetLat, Beep, Colors, NoWorkDupe, Run/mult,

I paste this on the computer monitor I use for contests

         If you are using CT9 and need to correct times because of a bad clock
or date, there is a utility called ct_time.zip at the K1EA Website:

ct_time.zip at    http://www.k1ea.com/ct9/index.htm
"Fixes time errors in log, corrects all QSOs by a fixed amount of time"

         If you ever make this mistake once (as I have), you will always
remember to check your time and date BEFORE the contest!

                                                 73,  Bill  W4ZV
