tuned in good!

Just getting all the stuff set up for tomorrow.

Making up the log sheets, dupes sheets, lotsa extra pencils for logging.

Hope the old Model 15 and the TD holds up through the contest.  Got the
range all adjusted for weak signal work.  Fixed up the roller on the back to
roll up all the excess paper.  Even put some new polar relays in the TU so
they won't be so noisy.

Ready to go!!  73

Make sure you empty the chad box before you start. You don't want to
stop and deal with excessive chads when you have a good run going.
Disable the auto-start and make certain the end-of-line bell is polished
and sounding clear. Oh, and machine oil. I've found the 6 oz bottle sold
at Singer Sewing Machine dealers has been the best substitute for the
original TeleType(tm) brand.

Naw, just let the chads fall on the floor.  When it gets too deep, just make
the XYL come down and clean the shack.  I always have to tell her to clean
the oil off her hands before she cooks dinner or opens my beer.

I've found the best lube is rendered out bear fat.  73 Bob and CU in the

Some XYLs are too busy making QSOs to clean the shack.

All is fixed with the Frequency I think, I was going to use the Pro III but had trouble with the CI-V settings in the software so I Upgraded N1MM to the latest Version ( mine was 7.xx )&  checked the TS-2000 transmitting into a dummy load&  decoding on the Pro III screen at the same exact frequency so that's ok now I hope. I missed the practice sessions due to a hockey game I couldn't get out of going to but after it I re-adjusted the A3S that was way too high in all 3 bands so I'll find out in the RU if everything is working as it should.

See you all in the contest&  Many Thanks to all who emailed&  helped me. Good Luck,

73,
Tom, KE1JF

I don't have WF1B so I can't try this.

Which country file are you using with WF1B? ?Does the original country file work OK?

Please post this to the RTTY reflector, as there is nothing I can do here.

Hi Jim,

In attemting to update the CTY file for WF1B,?I had a Runtime Error 216 at 0004:0C 7.? The Blue box split the 0C | 7.
?
This error occurs when following the instructions and going to Step #5..? CQWW and WAE.
When I select All other contests, it appears to work, and shows Sort complete.
?
This is in a Win 98SE Envrionment, I'll be using WF1B for RTTY RU, so should not be too much of an issue for me.

WF1B

Save WF1B.DAT to your WF1B RTTY folder
Run COUNTRY.EXE
Choose "Read CTY.DAT"
At "Identify the K1EA Country File(.DAT)", type in WF1B.DAT then CTRL-Enter
Select Contest Files: "Only CQWW&  WAE"
Exit

I wasn't sure I could do this, but I installed DOSBOX and am able to
run WF1B on my Windows 7 PC, at least the country file program (and
RTTY, but no hardware connected etc.)

WF1B 5.02 says there are too many prefixes.  I had thought the limit
was 1700, but it must be less than that.  I'll see how I can fix this
for the next country file release.

Hello,
lots of JT RTTY contest activity on 20m at this time (1350 UTC).
Is today the correct date? Several sources say correct date to
