Take a look at DXLab Suite which does every thing you want and is free. www.dxlabsuite.com 73, Larry W6NWS Im looking for a new General Purpose logging program, Windows OS. Doesnt need to be free, bu
In the past several months there have several ads on TV pushing millionminds (I think that's what it is called) as a program to get kids more interested in math and science. Time Warner has had ads t
I don't get it either Mike. The other guy probably won't have a clue as to how he missed the QSO if he even ponders it at all unless he was told. In the heat of battle he probably won't be listening
"Is there a rule for not working yourself?" At one time I believe at least some contests had a rule precluding an operator from using multiple calls during the contest. I am not sure that rule exists
Some of this is perhaps the attitude "if it isn't on the cluster there is no propagation" which is not always true. Many times in years past I would tune across 10M and not hear a signal. So I would
Unless you are blindly calling from a cluster spot or just hoping to figure it out later you will have most likely heard the tail end of a QSO which will give you an idea of the running station's con
It can be like trying to swim in a piranha infested pool - especially after your exotic call hits the cluster. You are the only menu item and its dinner time. The pile can be overwhelming. 73, Larry
I suspect people do it because it can work. I have heard DX stations lecture the pile about not calling while working someone. So then a QSO ends "LU5DX TU W7AAA 599.." which means the DX station was
There are a very few that are really good at that sort of thing (I wish that I could do it). I can usually tell if the station is one those kind of operators. But most do not distinguish that scenari
It is usually obvious when that mode of operation is being done. Usually a DX operation rather than contest in my experience. I have not seen it on CW that I recall but fairly often on SSB. Latecomer
There may be merit in what you said but it sounds a bit like enacting the IRS taxation code but for contesting. 73, Larry W6NWS There's been a lot of good discussion lately about various aspects of c
"Same call sign/same band/same mode = dupe." Not necessarily. You may need to consider QTH. If you move more than 25 miles you get to start WAS over as an example. But that is a different topic from
I suggest you try Morserunner or pileuprunner. Both are more current than DrDX. Morserunner can be setup with N1MM if desired but N1MM logger is not a requirement. Both have been available for awhile
DrDX was somewhat like CQWW. Morserunner is more like CQWPX (call, RST, and serial number) in the contest mode. Morserunner also has the single call mode of just sending calls (with/without noise, QR
It was CW. It was a device that you plugged into a C64 computer. MM3 had a simulator mode (it was similar to DrDX as I recollect). I tried it once. The MM3 and I didn't get along very well and it fin
The pile may be there partly because instead of 6Y5?? being on the cluster they saw BY5??. Some will actually check the call being sent by the station and realize it is 6Y and not BY. Some will hear
Personally I send my call after every QSO. But a busted cluster spot is obviously more correct than what you or I are sending. Even if I think a spot is correct I will still listen (but usually not f
I upload to both LoTW and eQSL. I have gotten a few "fake" QSOs against both my home call (130K QSOs) and my XV calls (3W2NWS - 5K QSOs - and XV2W -20K QSOs). Most of the fake ones were for my XV2W c
This subject was debated at some length a few years ago. Some would say what you send doesn't matter as long was the submitted log contains the correct category and that you consistently send the sam
CQRLOG was written for Linux. (http://www.cqrlog.com) There are probably others around. 73, Larry W6NWS Hi, Are you talking about general logging or contest logging ? DX Keeper from DX Labs runs with
