[ct-user] CT10 .00.004

[Ken Wolff]

I have placed CT10.00.004 in www.k1ea.com/download. =


* Tweaked NA Qso Party and Sprint

* New command line switch for K5KA (-KA)
  When this switch is turned on the F4 will not send your call if the call =
in =

  the callsign field is a dupe. Instead a dupe message comes up.

The Sprint is contest worth fooling around with. Most of the ops are very g=
ood, and signals are usually loud. It's very, very hard to make the top ten=
, but that's not what it's about for me. The cool part is that, after you a=
nswer a station (and work him), you get an instant CQ frequency. Of course =
you have to give it up after someone answers *you*.

This is a serial number contest with name and state added. Use shift F2 to =
put "# yourname yourstate" in the F2 send exchange key.

If you call CQ and someone answers, CT sends hiscall, yourcall, serialnumbe=
r, name and state. If you answer a CQ, CT sends hiscall, serialnumber, name=
, state and yourcall. The position of your call indicates whether you are t=
he CQ'er or the S&P station. If you hear a callsign at the end of an exchan=
ge, you know you can call him.

The sprint is January 31, 7PM eastern. That makes it Feb 1, 0000z.

Have fun - Ken
