Am I the only person that DID sign 55 just cause it was fast?? I forgot the
station owner's (W9UP) year of license, so I just made one up! ..... .....

OK, I think I finally have a reliable connection to the reflector (it's been
read-only for over a month), so here are our CW SS notes. Family commitments,
soccer matches, volleyball tournaments, and stations in disrepair forced Scott,
Ray, and me into yet another multi-op this year from Ray's station. I'm
certainly not complaining about the company -- the three of us have always been
a good team -- but we're all getting a little antsy for single-opping again.

Station: TS850/930, DTR2000
KT34XA @ 65', KT34A @ 50', CC 2-el 40 @ 75'
(multi-band dipole used on second radio)
Last sections worked: Maine (!) and Yukon, both Sunday morning on 20 meters.
Zero QSOs on 10m, <100 on 80m, <200 on 15m. I'm not sure what kind of antenna
we'd need in order to be more successful on 15m, but whatever it is we didn't
have it. Very disappointing, very bizarre condx. W8s were 30-over-9 all day
Sunday on that band, but everyone else was weak and fluttery.

K1VR: If you mean: Will the 40 meter stub on the 40 meter radio lower the
output of the 15 meter radio on 15, the answer is NO.
Can the stub be coiled up?
K1VR: Yes. No harm.
Can I use RG-58 for the stub?
K1VR: Yes, but it has higher losses than hardline or RG-213, which will
cost you in terms of power output. It may also melt when you give it 1500
watts at 21 MHz.
Does it matter how far from Radio B the stubs get Tee'd in?
K1VR: As close to the amplifier as you can get it is best. Next best:
Somewhere close to the amplifier. If you put a second stub on for
additional attenuation, best is 1/4 wave later, but it will help even if
just one barrel later.
Good luck.

My previous plans have come undone. Looking for a seat at a MS or MM
operation for CQWW CW. I have competitive radios and computer(s) if
needed. Would like to stay in N. Calif., but will travel under the
right circumstances. Call me at (415) 496-7349 day, (415) 346-2424 eve,

If you need the JIDX multiplier reference list

N6TR LOG V4.02 supports the JIDX. CT does not support the contest
but you can log the data in DX'pedition mode or AA DX contest.

My first SS in almost 30 years -- last time was '67 as W6EMS. 3.8
hours, 20 and 15 only. Lots of activity, incredible scores from the tall
dogs, as usual. N4TQO B 56 SF = 213 x 57 = 24,282.
Equipment: IC-781, IC-4KL, small tribander @ 40' (QTH W6OTC). Apologies
for the rotten fist -- used a 203 year old Vibroplex paddle and a very
backleveled version of CT -- 6.something -- couldn't get computer to key
xmtr properly. (I must get Glenn's station up to date.)
Thanks for the Q's everyone.

Really disappointing to hear a WW Committee member engage in such an
ethically questionable activity.
The VHF contests have stomped out these artificial contacts by permitting
only one call sign per radio! I'm all for the same rule in HF contesting.

The CAC's "intent" in writing the rule

was to prevent a station transmitting two signals at the same time (e.g.
calling CQ on two bands at same time). Nothing more exotic or
