> Is the CQP freeware available from any FTP source? If so, where?
I've just made two different CQP-logging freeware packages available via
anonymous FTP. One package is written by Al Maenchen, AD6E, and the other
by Andy Faber, AE6Y. The FTP host is maspar.maspar.com (192.84.231.1).
After connecting, CD to pub/k2mm. There you'll see two subdirectories:
cqp-ad6e and cqp-ae6y.
Notes on Al/AD6E's package:
pub/k2mm/cqp-ad6e:
total 187 KBytes
2 cainital.dta 82 cqp45.exe 6 cqprint.bas
38 cqp45.bas 13 cqphints.asc 46 cqprint.exe
Operating instructions and programming notes are in "cqphints.asc". The
executable logging program is "cqp45.exe" (version 4.5). The source is
the corresponding ".bas" file. Initial data (county and state/province
abbreviations) are in "cainitial.dta". These can be modified from
inside the program using the "initialize" selection from the main menu.
The "cqprint" programs are used for pretty-printing final logs on a
dot-matrix printer. Al says feel free to call him at home with any
questions; his phone number is in "cqphints.asc".
Notes on Andy/AE6Y's package:
pub/k2mm/cqp-ae6y:
total 521 KBytes
176 cqpdos.exe 344 cqpwindo.exe 1 readme.now
The two ".exe" files are ZIP executables; one is for DOS and the other
for Windows. DO NOT un-zip them in the same directory as AD6E's files
-- both logging programs are called "cqp45.exe"! (That's right, they're
both up to version 4.5!) Andy's software is more CT-like than Al's, and
has capability for both SS and WPX as well.
I could make AD6E's package available in UUENCODE-ed format suitable for
e-mailing. For this to be of any value, you need to either (1) have some
way of UUDECODE-ing the files, or (2) have a C compiler available to compile
an e-mailable "uudecode.c". Send e-mail to K2MM@maspar.com. 73. --John

Hi Gary...great to hear from you Saturday evening. I kind of dabbled off
and on - mostly chasing W7GHT and N7TT from county to county. If I did
not misinterpret the rules, it is 2 points per SSB QSO and 3 points per
CW QSO, and the counties count once per mode. I am sure that Danny or
someone will correct me if I got this wrong. I had 83 QSOs and about 35
multipliers - about half and half CW and SSB. We are in the skip zone
for Washington now, so had a tough time on 20 and 15, but we did have a
nice sporadic E opening Saturday evening. 40 and 80 were noisy and never
heard anyone on 160. Sounds like K7QQ did a great job. WA7FOE was also
quite active as was W7QN. I tried calling CQ Washington a few times, but
did not get much response. Don't forget CQP next weekend. Aloha.
Alan
