We would be in favor of making it 36 hours long just to improve the
activity the last six hours of the contest.
A lot of M/S, M/2, M/M and SOSBs are left out there with nobody to
work but each other. It's much worse if you are M/something but we
all know how dead the bands are at the end and this year it seemed
worse. I guess folks and the casual ops were glued to the TV sets ;-)
We (again the "we", KH6ND, KH7U, AH7R and I) were talking about this
on Sunday as we cleaned up during out four hours of 6 Qs/Hr. The easiest
thing might be to go to an "unlimited" category. Either 48 hrs operation
or bump it up to the 36 hrs the other two contest use. That way the old
records and results would be comparable in the future and those that are
gluttons for fun (punishment) can push it a bit more.
This would be good for this event. It would increase activity and not
force those to change their operating habits unless they wanted.
Just a thought and a vote.
73 and Aloha,

Writelog with MMTTY and DXP38 - dual receive
Operating time approx. 24 hours - though not completely full-time then
First time for me in this one - every other QSO a mult. !
Finally got dual receive working Friday morning - thanks to Don AA5AU for
very timely help. Seems that Writelog is quite happy to some things on COM
ports sharing IRQs, but very unhappy doing others - subject of a separate
posting for WL.
RTTY Contesting certainly getting more popular..... thought I'd get to 6
Meters before I stop seeing RTTY on 10M !! Well actually did see signals
above 28145.
For me some firsts/successes: Worked some EU stations on 80 meters Sat
night. Had modest run of JAs late Sunday afternoon. During about a 15
minute interval on 21M at dusk Saturday worked 5U8B, CN8KD, AH6OZ,
CE6/DM5TI, several JA's, oh and course Don AA5AU slipped in there as
well..... Thanks for being there! Had a terrific run on 40M for about 30
minutes during in the last hour - gave me a real work out including 20 6
pointers - lot's of folks trying to pile up those 6 point QSOs.
Only 2 Dupes. One was probably a 3/4 way cross-talk - not enough call signs
in the exchanges guys! The second is a tad more foreboding for the other
chap. Guy calls me on Sunday morning on 10M. Say back worked before at
13xxZ. He comes back worked on 15M. So I work him again. Go scroll back and
look at "transcript" in Rttyrite window. Clearly worked him, but I hadn't
been on 15M yet that day - only 10M . Sounds like someone changed band on
rig and not in logger - who knows how many QSOs are busted in that log??

Message-ID:
Thanks to all who replied, I got many useful insights.
Many proposed to go for the Icom PW-1, as I have an IC-756Pro as driver.
This is a good argument as long as I use Icom equipment... and I guess I
will do so for a long time.
Acom and Ameritron got some favorable mentions, as did some other
manufactuers.
Lots of good arguments (price, stability) pro tube amps, vs. solid state.
Again thanks, now I will have to talk to my bank, hi.

Remarks (Biggest thrill in contest, funniest story, comments, etc.):
I wanted to do than this but an Iowa location combined with an A index of 10
meant this was about the best I could do. I knew it wasn't going well when
the high TH-7 copied better than the others when 10 & 15 were wide open. As
always 80 was too noisy for any EU QSOs from here. A TA3 calling me along
with getting 5U8B were the biggest thrills. WriteLog performed 100% except
for the occasional operator error.

Subject: [RTTY] BARTG Spring RTTY Contest Buffers
Message-ID: <000d01c1b440$9eb8c3a0$6401a8c0@don>
Examples of BARTG Spring RTTY Contest Buffers are
now available on the AA5AU WriteLog website:
http://www.geocities.com/writelog
Because of the nature of this contest, more buffers are used
than in most other contests.
Also, I've noticed that WriteLog handles serial numbers differently
when operating SO2R on a single computer than it does on when
using separate networked computers. The write-up I did before
WPX only applies to operating SO2R on separate networked computers
and not on a single computer. I made that distinction in the title and
will be updating that page soon with more information concerning
the use of %I in a buffer to insert the next available serial number.
If there is enough interest, I may try to put something concerning
setting-up for the NA RTTY Sprint. That contest is not directly
supported by WriteLog, but there are other modules that can be used.
The best module to use is the RTTY Internet Sprint module (I think).
Is there any interest in seeing the set-up for this contest?

Thank you!!
Heard on around 14.102 on Sat..."take the brown zipper
from the blue bowl". Please tell me someone else heard this.
Lost a half hour looking for that damn zipper :).
Saturday turned nasty with 70 mph winds and rain, snow, ice.
Had to wait until things thawed on Sunday...everything stayed
up including the SWR.
WXXX WXXX WPX....took awhile to figure out this was
a CQ!
The unruly behavior of a few late Sunday sent me off to S&P
instead of trying to run. In one instance someone actually
resent my exchange to JH1OAI with a different serial number.
Kinda weird to see my info going out and being in receive....
maybe related to the zipper thingy. JH1OAI if you are reading
this the first number was correct as you acknowledged.
See you all next month

Remarks. Well I had the whole weekend to play in this one, and wow was it
fun. The score shows how busy it was in
24 hours of operating time. The off-times seemed to be the key to this one,
but again the high winds here changed all
my plans. I couldn't start until the wind died down at 7am Saturday, and
finished at 9pm Sunday for the same reason.
Boy did I want to make 1000Qs or a million points but Mother Nature just
wouldn't let me. There are greater forces at
work here than me. I love Writelog more and more every time I use it, and
laughed when I think how Don learnt something
from Phil the newbie, now what else hiding away in there? Biggest lesson
learnt was that when you
work RU3AT on you're run frequency you don't move as he always spots on the
cluster and the following run is well worth
staying put for. I have noticed the thread about people seeing their call
sent back to them several times
during the exchange, but then I am cautious about commenting on it as we
need these new people and the longer
exchange doesn't matter that much does it ! If they fall in love with the
mode and become as passionate as some of
us are then they will come on the reflector, they will visit the great
website resources that we have, and they will see
that there is another way to send the exchange. Now I am off the old
soapbox, thanks to all of you for the support
before during and after the test that you all give away so freely. Thank
You, De Robert.
This is to certify that in this contest I have operated my transmitter
within the limitations of my license and have observed fully the rules and
regulations of the contest.

while on the subject of XE rtty contest.... I was led to believe that I
won the Oceania section of this contest in the year 2001 (and if not
Oceania, at least 1st place Australia) but have yet to receive anything,
notification or otherwise about this. So as not to be "led up the garden
path" any further than I have already been, can someone point me to their
results pages, damned if I can find them........

Thanks goes to Dave KA6BIM for the use
of the station.
Will I never work another RTTY contest with a single
demodulator! Dave had two PK-232s hooked and receiving
at the same time, I must say the copy was 85% better
between the two than my single KAM. Called CQ 95% of
the time, S&P 5% on VFO B.
Highlight: 14 new countries on RTTY, and a lot of fun.

After about 50 Q's I had a machine crash and was not able to fully
recover the QSO data. So I put in a half hearted effort of about 14
total hours on ten meters and it was all fun. Writelog performed well
provided the operator fatique did over-ride.

Subject: [RTTY] 30 hours in WPX
Message-ID: <000301c1b508$d3458900$81d926cb@martinl>
I notice this one has come up in RTTY.
The SSB test used to also be 30 hours out of 48. This was changed after much
lobbying by those who go to "other places to win from." It was turned into
36. I assume as a compromise because those who operate from propogationally
advantaged locations wanted 48 but others were equally keen to keep the 30.
In RTTY we can still see someone winning from their home location. However,
propogation favors those who travel to a location which is close to the
equator and equidistant from two of the three major ham population centres
of Europe, USA and Japan. Thus the majority of top twenty scores in the
major SSB and CW contests meet the criteria of being just in South America,
just in Africa, just in Asia, or just in Oceania. Try HC8, EA8, KH6 etc..
Don't misunderstand, I have a lot of respect for these people that stretch
their arms carrying Alpha 87's onto airplanes as hand luggage! Furthermore
in contests needing lots of countries they help the rest of us with
multipliers.
I do think that we need variety in contests and having to take time out is a
strategic decision. Get it wrong and you will dramatically affect your
score. Of course some prefer not to have this extra challenge and just run
til they drop!
The shorter period also allows those like VK/ZL, and the many others who
are propogationally challenged, who do not generally get 48 hours of
propogation to anywhere, a chance to remain competitive.
The strategy is especially appropriate for the WPX type of contest. Prefixes
generally come, these days, from just running stations. The leading stations
will rarely do much search and pounce. Then only on the second radio. This
makes it into just a run fest with little or no challenge other than speed.
The time off makes for some intellectual involvement in the contesting
process!
The CQWW type tests with zones and countries do still mean that most of us
must do a minimum of S&P. Hence we must continually make choices of what
band to run, what band to search, when to run and in what direction, what
direction to search etc. Apart from those sitting on the very best island
locations, there is a need to do more than hit the CQ key!
You will know that RTTY contesting has reached the big time when Don AA5AU
has to go to PJ8 or EA8 to stay in the top twentyl!!

Operators: Chris SP7GIQ, Paul SP7PS, Mark SQ5BPM,

Last year I thought about joining our club (SP5ZCC) team with other
Polish HAMs interested in RTTY. After some time, and some arrangements
we in the end met at the wonderful QUAD-station of Chris SP7GIQ to
participate in WPX RTTY. Two weeks before we had received a special
call: 3Z0WPX - just for the contest.
It was our first effort of this kind. None of us operated in Multi-Two
before. At first we had some problems with the network, then with one
of our computers, during the contest we had a break because electric
current was switched off - problem at the power station: fortunately
"only" 35 minutes...
But in the end we had a great fun and worked so many RTTY friends...
What more: for some of us it was the first time to use WriteLog. Only
Paul SP7PS is an experienced user to say the truth.
Our goal was to make at least 2500 contacts and beat last year record
in that category (by YL4U), in the same EU record. And we did it!!!!
40 meters Quad helped us to make many DX contacts on this band - many
DX and of course many rich-pointed QSOs. In the end a little bit more
than 50% contacts are with DX stations:
80M 40M 20M 15M 10M Total %
EU 211 243 308 288 203 1253 49.8
AS 11 46 66 157 136 416 16.5
NA 22 86 156 227 285 776 30.8
AF 1 4 4 11 5 25 1.0
SA 0 2 6 4 16 28 1.1
OC 0 4 4 6 6 20 0.8
The biggest thrill: Our station was called three times by V73UG
himself. And we worked HR3 in tremendous pile-up after only one call
on 10 meters - well... 4x5el Quad stacker on ten meters is just what
we needed in such situations. It is like a sniper - one shot and new
multiplier is in the log. During the last hour we were called by a
station from Cuba - this gave us very worthy multiplier.
We could hear JA on 80 meters on Sunday but in the end decided not to
switch the antennas. The main station was running on 40 then and had
quite nice DX contacts. JAs on 80m were not new multipliers so in the
end we decided not to switch the antennas. Working DX on 80 or on 40
was giving us the same points - on 40 meters we were able to work more
DX in that time.
Great thanks goes towards Chris SP7GIQ who let us use his wonderful
station and was a great, great host for us.
We do hope to meet you again from our home stations or perhaps in the
future we join our teams again for one of the RTTY events.

Subject: [RTTY] MMTTY x 2
Message-ID: <001001c1b671$a0e534a0$1c050180@wa9als>
Last night I thought I had MMTTY going in 2 instances using the
computer's integrated sound and a Soundblaster card. However, the audio
on one rig appeared to be out of the passband. I've experimented some
more now with MMTTYx2. To show this graphically, I've made the
following screenshots:
http://wa9als.mystarband.net/rig1.gif
http://wa9als.mystarband.net/rig2.gif
Sorry for the large screenshots, but I have 2 monitors and I wanted all
the settings to be readdable. BPF is not set in one instance of MMTTY,
but that's not the problem.
If you look at the first one above, rig1, you see the PROII transmitting
and the 706 receiving on the same frequency. However, you see that the
RTTY signal is not centered in the passband. Both rigs are using a
filter width of 350 Hz - the PROII set with DSP and the 706 using an
FL-232.
Conversely, the second shot above, rig2, shows the 706 transmitting, and
the received signal in the PROII's spectrum (on the left) is more like
it should be.
Several have suggested that MMTTY was not set for 2125 and 170, but
that's not the problem. Neither is it a problem with the settings on
the 706. By mixing and matching this afternoon, I've determined that
the problem only is apparent if the audio is passing through the
computer's INTEGRATED SOUND system. (I have integrated sound for one
"soundcard" and a Soundblaster Live Value card as the other.)
If I put the PROII's audio through the INTEGRATED SOUND instead of the
Soundblaster, I have the same problem. Thus it's something about the
integrated sound system that's throwing the audio out of where MMTTY is
looking. WHAT WOULD DO THAT?? I can't find any settings of the
integrated sound that have any apparent pertinence or effect. I could
get another Soundblaster card, but it seems like the integrated sound
should work OK (AC'97 codec). Any ideas about this weird freq shift
only seen when using the integrated sound?
THANKS!

I have seen discussion in this reflector regarding the lack of logs being
submitted for rtty contests.... and no wonder. I have had my WPX 2002 log
returned by the robot 2 times so far. The frustration of having to do this
over and over is obviously one reason why logs submission rates are down. I
will submit my log one more time and, if the robot returns it again, I too
will join the ranks of those who do not bother. To those people who are

Perhaps if you gave more information about why your log was rejected,
others could help you get it right, and the log checkers and robot
experts could do their jobs more to your satisfaction.
Personally, I'd rather have the robot tirelessly help me correct
deficiencies, then have a human waste their time making sure I can
follow directions.
I think Cabrillo and the robot are GREAT!!!!

Admittedly there have been a few minor glitches with the RTTY WPX robot.
However, the kind person, Trey N5KO, who set up the robot, for free, in order to
relieve the amount of e-traffic going to the log checker, ME, was shivering his
arse off and getting covered in penguin poop, in an attempt to give you guys
both VP8/SSI and VP8SGI on RTTY.
Therefore he was not available to uncross some of the robot's wires.
As N6TQS aka ZF2QS so aptly put it, quote:
"Perhaps if you gave more information about why your log was rejected,

If anyone wants to take over the job of receiving robotic logs and checking
them, PLEASE let me know.
fyi, VK4WPX's log HAS been accepted!

I agree with Doug's perception and am sure it makes it easier for the
log checkers, but I'd like to know why the damn robot can tell me what
the errors are, but is incapable of correcting them.
If it knows the problem, it should know the solution.

log checkers, but I'd like to know why the damn robot can tell me what
the errors are, but is incapable of correcting them.
If it knows the problem, it should know the solution.
The message I got back said in essence, "these two lines are not
applicable to this contest, so they have been deleted and your log
accepted". That's a fix where it knows what to do, and does it.
Other errors may indicate ambiguous or missing information, and I
certainly wouldn't want the robot making things up. In my former
life, I've used and abused defaults, but there's a long learning
process there, and I've also been burned by those defaults.
I will say, I didn't submit my log until yesterday, since I was
traveling and wanted the log to come from my home system. The log
preprocessor may have been updated to correct its behavior as previous
logs came in and problems were spotted, so I may be seeing a late
revision of the thing. Users can come up with more wierdness then a
rational, knowledgeable personal can imagine without MUCH analysis.

An example of why it shouldn't correct things itself. "LOW" and "80M"
are mutually exclusive according to the rules. Which one do you want?
Its suggested fix is wrong, according to the rules.

I think it wants to see "RTTY" at the end of the above statement. I
sent mine in like this: CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 20M HIGH RTTY

Hi All,
I was visited by a Tropical Storm at the Quartz Hill site that caused
precipitaion static that wiped out several hours on the last day.
High light - working AN1AKS on 80m, missed them on 10m for an all band
sweep.
I note the report of CW jamming of my sig in the US. I was opertating on
7047 at the time so I do not know how I upset the Morse Police!
I was pleased to have a good number of 40m contacts. I also worked several
new countries.
Thanks to the log checkers and contest organizers.

This was a tough one. Lost my rotatable KT34XA Saturday morning. Stuck
with wire dipoles for the remainder of the contest. Looking up the tower I
think the coax is pinched as it goes around the rotor. It rotates, but the
SWR is high and the antenna is deaf.
After the poor condx at the start, very high "K" and "A", things got
better all weekend. Even without the beam had 80+ hours. These new
soundcard programs are sure producing a lot of newcomers. Wonderful!
Used Writelog with P-38 and MMTTY on one radio (80, 20,10 meters).
Writelog with PCI-3000 and MMTTY for the second radio(40,15 meters). The
sequential numbering is still poor. In addition the insert key method of
grabbing calls has changed in this last version (10.30b). Many times I
found myself sending just the report with no call after hitting the insert
key!! I don't know what is different. But with previous versions of
Writelog I have pushed the insert key many thousands of times without
problems. Will ah ve to set up some test conditions to figure out the
differences,
Thanks to all of you for the Q's. Sorry if I seemed to stumble coming back
to you some of the time.

If I understand correctly what you are saying, you are using
HIGH TONES and a filter width in the PRO of 350 Hz. You do
not say what the I.F. SHIFT is. I have not been able to set
a pass band width lower than about 750 Hz, keeping the
signal within the pass band with the PRO using high tones.
For that reason, I use LOW TONES. How do you do that?

Subject: [RTTY] MMTTY x 2
Last night I thought I had MMTTY going in 2 instances using
the
computer's integrated sound and a Soundblaster card.
However, the audio
on one rig appeared to be out of the passband. I've
experimented some
more now with MMTTYx2. To show this graphically, I've made
the
following screenshots:
http://wa9als.mystarband.net/rig1.gif
http://wa9als.mystarband.net/rig2.gif
Sorry for the large screenshots, but I have 2 monitors and I
wanted all
the settings to be readdable. BPF is not set in one
instance of MMTTY,
but that's not the problem.
If you look at the first one above, rig1, you see the PROII
transmitting
and the 706 receiving on the same frequency. However, you
see that the
RTTY signal is not centered in the passband. Both rigs are
using a
filter width of 350 Hz - the PROII set with DSP and the 706
using an
FL-232.
Conversely, the second shot above, rig2, shows the 706
transmitting, and
the received signal in the PROII's spectrum (on the left) is
more like
it should be.
Several have suggested that MMTTY was not set for 2125 and
170, but
that's not the problem. Neither is it a problem with the
settings on
the 706. By mixing and matching this afternoon, I've
determined that
the problem only is apparent if the audio is passing through
the
computer's INTEGRATED SOUND system. (I have integrated
sound for one
"soundcard" and a Soundblaster Live Value card as the
other.)
If I put the PROII's audio through the INTEGRATED SOUND
instead of the
Soundblaster, I have the same problem. Thus it's something
about the
integrated sound system that's throwing the audio out of
where MMTTY is
looking. WHAT WOULD DO THAT?? I can't find any settings of
the
integrated sound that have any apparent pertinence or
effect. I could
get another Soundblaster card, but it seems like the
integrated sound
should work OK (AC'97 codec). Any ideas about this weird
freq shift
only seen when using the integrated sound?
THANKS!

Subject: [RTTY] MMTTY calibration with screenshots
Message-ID: <000701c1b6ee$44c6b770$1c050180@wa9als>
This didn't fix my problem, but it's interesting nevertheless. These will
be posted sometime this weekend on the web for future reference.
First I calibrated my Soundblaster Live! Value card. In MMTTY, click
Options|Setup MMTTY|MISC and then the clock ADJUST button. Your default
should be 11025. The instructions for calibration appear on the waterfall,
but eventually scroll off, so print them. I found them confusing at first,
but eventually figured it out. The radio is set to 10.00000 MHz in USB
mode.
http://wa9als.mystarband.net/cal1.gif - This shows the Sounblaster set at
11025. You can tell from the "slant" that the clock speed is off a little.
The green line really serves no purpose other than to remind you what
vertical looks like! First you click on a tick mark near the bottom of the
screen (and let go). This will then produce a yellow line dragging from the
mouse pointer, which you can move around. You should position it on one of
the tick marks near the top of the page and then left-click again. This
will then enter the new clock speed - you will get a msg that you need to
restart MMTTY to be using the new clock speed. It shouldn't matter whether
you use the middle, left, or right part of the ticks for the calibration -
it's the slope that's important. (There's a reason this might remind you of
correcting the "slant" on SSTV!) Although I always thought my MMTTY was
working great, it's obvious from this screenshot that the clock speed wasn't
calibrated as well as it could be! *Also note that there are 2 columns of
tick marks, just as it should be as explained in the calibration
instructions.
http://wa9als.mystarband.net/cal3.gif - This shows the Sounddblaster
calibration window -after- I calibrated and restarted MMTTY. The tick marks
are obviously much more vertical now! Note that the clock speed is only 2
different - 11027 instead of 11025!
Now let's move on to calibrating the Integrated Sound on my Dell PW330:
http://wa9als.mystarband.net/cal10.gif - HOLY COW! This is obviously "way
off", right? Besides the obviously slanted lines, look at how many traces
there are! Anyone know what that means? Anyway, I went through the same
steps as above. http://wa9als.mystarband.net/cal20.gif - This shows the
intermediate step of using the yellow line to line up the slanted tick
marks, and also shows that the new speed is going to be about 11010.9.
http://wa9als.mystarband.net/cal30.gif - This shows the new calibration
screen after MMTTY was restarted with the new clock speed of 11011. The
tick marks are now vertical as they should be, but I still don't know why
there are so many columns represented when the instructions say there should
only be 2.
So, now we wonder if calibrating the Integrated Sound will bring my signal
into the desired MMTTY range. Of course not! I played with this yesterday
before actually doing the calibrations. Using wildly different clock
speedds has no effect on where the signal appears in the MMTTY spectrum.
http://wa9als.mystarband.net/filt250.gif shows the signal with the filter at
250 Hz and http://wa9als.mystarband.net/filt1k.gif shows the filter at 1000
Hz.
Any elucidating comments and commiserations are welcome! Before offering
suggestions though, please remember that this doesn't have anything to do
with how the radios are set. Either of my radios, when played through the
Soundblaster, work fine with the signal in the passband where it should be.
However, EITHER of the radios, using any filter, have the signal outside the
MMTTY range when played through the Integrated sound. 73 - John (WA9ALS)

Subject: [RTTY] MMTTY vs MixW
Message-ID: <000101c1b6f6$32f06570$1c050180@wa9als>
Gee, with 2 radios and 2 soundcards, you can sure do some interesting
things! http://wa9als.mystarband.net/mixwin.gif - This shows
transmitting with the 706 and MMTTY via the Soundblaster and receiving
with the PROII and MixW via the Integrated Sound! Although the signal
was outside the expected passband at the default MixW setting, it was
easy to shift it up to where the 706's signal was, then turn on AFC to
lock on. However, there was still no print, as seen before with MMTTY.
If the shift (170) is also being altered by the Integrated Sound, it's
only slightly visually apparent.
It's interesting to note that MixW has more versatility in setting up
the souncard. In the first place, it lets you choose which
Windows-recognized sound card you want to use, BY NAME as opposed to the
MMTTY choice of DEVICE ID - this is really nice! Then you can choose a
sampling frequency and a "clock adjustment" in ppm. There are also 4
DSP filter choices on the Soundcard Settings screen.
I gotta go - I think I've been talking to myself too long! ;-)) At
least I haven't blown a front end talking to myself. Sure hope there
are some REAL signals on the air later today! 73

John, I think you should drop back to a simple one radio, one soundcard
configuration with writelog+MMTTY+PLUGIN and get it working. then
substitute the second radio into this same setup, noting any special
settings required at each stage. Then go with the two simultaneous radios
and make sure all settings are correct. Make sure AFC is off on MMTTY, or
this will add confusion.
Don't forget that you can move the MMTTY passband over to where the audio
is with the MMTTY control, or move the radio's passband over to where MMTTY
wants it with the radio's passband control. Check the MMTTY control
carefully. I forget what it is called, but it lets you move the passband
around.
Good Luck

Duane, I use high tones on my 756PRO and can use 350 BW TPF, 350 BW
flat-top, or any other BW in the RTTY mode. If you are not using high tones
with one of the special RTTY filters (the pushbutton along the left side of
the display) you also cannot get RTTY decoding on the PRO screen. It all
works for me AOK. Maybe you are using AFSK and one of the SSB modes??
The TPF (twin peak filters, I assume) is pretty nice. I use the TPF for
almost everything RTTY.

Did you really mean to send this to the R-I-TTY list? I only get about
1 post per 6 months on that list. I would recommend the -RTTY- list,
which is now at rtty@contesting.com
I'll take the liberty of posting your question to the RTTY list.

Operating Time (hrs): 12
Comments: Soapbox : As with many others the best laid plans.... Too much
time spent
repairing storm damage, rescuing the family from a muddy field at Scout Camp
and a six hour visit to the emergency department of the local hospital.
Between times worked some great RTTY contacts and two all time new
countries.
Thanks to all for making it a great weekend. Better planning for next time
will yeild more operating time I am sure ! N1MMLogger with MMTTY worked a
treat.

Message-ID: <000101c1b75d$732c9e30$1c050180@wa9als>
I've made a crude recording of the Soundblaster card and of the
Integrated Sound system doing AFSK RTTY. I had to record the sounds
from the computer speakers on my iPAQ and then transfer back to the
computer using the iPAQ and computer mic - all things considered, you'll
get the point. Goldwave will let you choose different devices for
recording and playback, so at first I thought maybe I could use the
Soundblaster to directly record the output of the Integrated Sound, but
I never figured out how to make that work. The recording is about 0.5
MB and is at http://wa9als.mystarband.net/soundcards.mp3. The AFSK is
being generated by MMTTY. I rarely use AFSK anymore, but this was
another way to look at the wierdness of the Integrated Sound system -
thanks Chen.
As someone suggested, I think it's time to ditch the Integrated Sound
and get a 2nd Soundblaster card!

Message-ID: <000d01c1b7a0$bf78cd20$e40777d5@pandora.be>
Hi,
I used the WT4I cabrilloconvertor to make my wpx log.
The software let me choose to import several kind of files and I imported
the *.all
file from the WF1B software. the *all files looks like this :
Band Date Time Call RST Ser# RST Ser# Prefix Pt
15 020209 0634 JA6JAP 599 0001 599 0021 JA6 3
15 020209 0654 ZC4DW 599 0002 599 0066 ZC4 3
importing it with the cabrilloconvertor makes it like :
QSO: 21000 RY 2002-02-09 0634 ON7UI 599 0001 JA6JAP 599
0021 J
QSO: 21000 RY 2002-02-09 0654 ON7UI 599 0002 ZC4DW 599 0066
Z
it also takes the first letter of the prefix coloumn with the received
exchange. Within the CC software
those two fields are merged into one.
Anyone knows how to make that just one coloumn with the received exchange?
BTW I removed the letter by importing the cabrillo *log file again and then
they were in two separated coloums.
Renaming all the coloums gave a correct log file.

A possible explanation could be the propagation condition known as
"multipath" which can be prevalent on 80. Our CW decoder (the brain) is
quite immune to multipath and we can usually copy the CW just fine.
However, many RTTY decoders perform very poorly in the presence of
multipath, making each contact a real struggle.

Goetz,
The band QRN was very low last night and all signals were very strong.
I would love to hear that in an RTTY contest :-)
I finally worked KL7Y on 80m this morning for the first time.

A huge thanks to Ed, K4SB, for going through the AA5AU
RTTY file and eliminating busted, bad & old USA/VE calls
by creating a program to work with the latest Buckmaster database.
This process eliminated 1341 USA/VE calls. Unfortunately, it also eliminated
callsigns such as KI6DY/0 & W2JGR/0 when USA stations are required
to sign portable in some RTTY contests when not operating in the designated
call area (such as the upcoming BARTG). This is because in some
RTTY contests, USA.VE call areas are multipliers.
I hope to add these calls back in eventually along with more calls from
WPX RTTY. At present there are 19,530 calls in the database. DX calls
were unaffected.
You can download the file from www.geocities.com/writelog. The file is in
.dta form for use with WriteLog's Super Check Partial utility. The file you
download will be a zip file, so you must unzip it first, then put it into your
c:\ham\program folder for use with WriteLog.
If you do not find your call in the database, or you live in a USA district
other than the one specified by your call, let me know by replying to this
E-mail and I will add your call or portable call to the database.

number with no RST for the exchange. I know that sending 599 seems trivial,
but I thought the rules still require it.

Oh no, not again! They had this problem Friday a.m. on 17m RTTY. I think
the are using a fixed Rx/Tx shift, so the Tx moves by the same amount when
they tune in a new caller "up". They came back to me but I didn't realize
it until too late, and we never made contact. Same happened to W1JR a few
minutes later. I wish the could figure this out! The VP8 guys seemed to
have the same problem at times.

It's a case of "Do as I mean, not as I say." The robot can't figure out
what you intended, so it returns the log. I'd rather computers let me
correct mistakes instead of assuming they know what I meant.
