Gary, good points .. but see below. 73, Alan AD6E I generally know that anyway simply by the part of the band he's in and the speed. Yes, I really should. Packet gets it wrong sometimes too, but as a
Joe, I've been using AUTOBAUD for many years spanning several rigs and computers (up to Win7) without a problem. I know how the hardware is supposed to work since I've designed 232 hardware, but I do
R Tks Joe Yes, I've always had the rig (several over the years) always set to a specific rate. The microHAM router doesn't have an "autobaud" option so that has to match exactly. Guess I was just ref
Sounds like CQ (and ARRL) should adopt the M/S rule that has worked so well in CQP for many years now: The 10 min rule applies to the person sitting in the chair (ONE chair!) .. not the logged band.
Hi Dean, Typical M/S requires that all contacts must be on the same band for some minimum time (typ 10min) or some maximum number of band changes per hour. That essentially disallows SO2R operation.
I managed to setup the K3 DVK so it works with WL. It's actually working very well but has two problems: 1) For CW, F1-F4 also evoke the K3 memory, and I can't setup the CW memories (M1-4) in the K3
HI is part of the "North America" listings in the multiplier chart. Obviously aimed at Dominican Republic. I couldn't find any of the NA mults in namedmult.ini file so I don't know where it might be.
Thanks to Eric for the changes making KH6 and the other mults included in the score and mults table. When I output the Cabrillo, I found both KP2 and KH6 were called DX in the log. I didn't work any
Mike, If you actually worked the blacklisted call, and actually copied the call (not relying on the spot), then why delete it? Highlighting (or hiding) a potential bogus call is useful, but if he is
Gary, No, I didn't try that. I've not had this problem before so didn't remember that trick. Now that you mention it I do remember reading about Shift+Enter. I'll have to keep that in mind next time.
In WPX, I set [MULTIPLIERS] CallPrefix=KH6 When I logged a QSO with any NA station, the points show 2 or 4 (high or low bands). Logging a QSO with any OC station netted 3 or 6 points (same with AS an
Maybe I'm to blame for this. Years ago I pushed Wayne to allow entering up to four county names in a single QSO for CQP. He obliged and that still works very well so far as I know. Unfortunately, it
First, Thanks to Don for the location of the V12 manual. I missed that. At 444 pages, not exactly light reading. Second, I have a couple of different writelog.ini files that I swap back and forth for
Perfect. Just to note a detail: The "contest selection window" is the same as in WL 11. The new buttons you refer to are in the initial "Writelog" window where you can select a recent log or start a
V12 works fine and looks good but I'm having a problem with keeping the setup parameters. If I open V12, the PORTS data is wiped clean. I can set it up for the K3 and Winkey, then everything works fi
A couple of things discovered in the Sprint last night: 1) F8, for some reason had a random delay from 0 to 2 seconds. Usually about 1 second. That's where I put the "1st QSO exchange" and it caused
ARRL DX is the real first opportunity to try V12 other than sprint. I'm finding an unusual behavior. Might have already been reported, not sure. Haven't been paying close attention. Occasionally the
I finally figured it out as the F10 issue already reported. I use F10 for "?" which I use often. In the heat o battle it wasn't obvious what was causing this. I avoided F10 and everything worked well
Playing around on a rainy afternoon ... I managed to crash WL 12.03G thrice. Not sure of how, but seems to be related to QSY to any WARC band. First: Moved from 14020 to 18100 by typing "18100" in th
Thanks for the tip about entering 18100K instead of 18100 from the entry window to QSY to 17 meters. That's workable. For some reason, WL now allows me to transmit on WARC bands where yesterday it di
