Timo, My guess is it's propagation causing a missed bit. Maybe some multipath or polar flutter. I've often noticed 5's get changed into 9's, which is a shifted second bit (5=10000 and 9=11000). In yo
Phil, Over the last several days, my QSL records have increased by over 100 per day! Right now, I have 1226 QSL records, including 24 with you going back to 1993 (all 3 modes, all bands except 80). 7
I agree with Dave! Don't make it longer. Keep it short. The beauty of the Sprint, and the key to a high QSO total, is getting into a rhythm where a calling station can quickly drop his callsign in af
This contest would have died very quickly with participation such that we'd run out of guys to work after 45 minutes or so. It would be great if we had enough activity to eliminate the dupe rule. Unf
Oh no. There goes my perfect log :.) If you're the "weak guy" how come you didn't hear my TU? 73, Barry-- Barry Kutner, W2UP Internet: w2up@mindspring.com Newtown, PA Frankford Radio Club ___________

I wonder if anyone has come up with better Profiles for flutter, etc? In my experience, older versions of MMTTY, from 2-3 years ago, worked better on fluttery/multipath signals (such as east coast to
Me Not! I bought a Siig board and it didn't work on my XP machine. I tried emailing and calling their customer support, without response. I guess there is no customer support! I would NEVER recommend

Just wanted to let everyone know I will be keeping my promise and NOT operate PSK31 in the upcoming RR. If any of you have a dental background (working PSK in a contest is like pulling teeth!) and wa
Maybe he sent AD1C UR 599 IL IL IL and some QRM/N caused one of the Ls to print as N. Barry W2UP -- Barry Kutner, W2UP Internet: w2up@mindspring.com Newtown, PA Frankford Radio Club _________________
How about going back in the results a few years and find how the same guys who are now SO2R and blowing you away, still blew you away when they were using one radio? SO2R is not a hardware class, it
I"ve been doing RTTY long enough where I can "copy" (recognize) my callsign, 599, CQ and RYRY by ear. I can also tune in a RTTY signal without using any tuning aids. I'm sure other long-time RTTYers
I never took lessons, but I can sit down at a piano and play a melody by ear. I recall a discussion, around the RUFZ computer, about this in the contesting suite at Dayton several years ago. Seems so
I stopped operating WPX RTTY a few years ago when I got serious operating ARRL CW, the followiing weekend. Can only do so much... It's a shame cuz I like the WPX RTTY test. 73, Barry W2UP -- Barry Ku
Joe, I have 2 RTTY confirmations from ZD9, both in 1990: ZD9BV - 1990 was the last QSO I had with him. His most recent callout on the Cluster was 18 JAN 04, a mere 5 days ago, on 15 SSB. So he's done
Hi all, I am in need of some never-used, unformatted, DS/DD 5 1/4 inch floppies. Pre-formatted and DS/HD won't work in this application. Does anyone have some in the back of the closet they are willi
I was doing some pre-contest (ARRL CW) shack cleaning and came across a stack of paper manuals for the Digicom>64 V2.3C cartridge (TNC emulator for the Commodore 64) that I made and sold in the late
Were the Oct 2003 RTTY Sprint results ever written up? It's not on www.ncjweb.com and I don't recall seeing them in NCG, either. 73, Barry W2UP-- Barry Kutner, W2UP Internet: w2up@mindspring.com Newt
