Anyone want to do a team for NAQP? If we get 20 guys, I'll split up the
teams as evenly as I can and we'll have an Internet sub-competition. Let me
know if you are interested and what kind of score/time you will make/have.
BTW... This is CW, not SSB. 2nd Saturday of the new year.

Subject: Miles and Rules
Happy Holidays to all! On the question of statute versus nautical miles, the
ARRL uses statute miles. If a measurement is submitted in nautical miles (some
of the Pratas Island docs were), they are converted before any action is taken.
I am not convinved that we should think about consolidating the
Single-op and Single-op/Assisted categories. The allegation that the top
single-op guys use packet anyway is not to be taken lightly. I for one would
be pretty pissed-off if that's how someone thought I won a Single-op contest.
In all of the recently published results, the SOA entries always have less Q's
and more mults than the Single-op entries. It's not hard to figure out who's
doing what and when they're doing it it!
I'm sorry for the previous message which went out mangled!

Subject: Single op /Assisted ?
Message-ID: <931228081955.2042921e@ntcclu.ntc.nokia.com>
Concerning the Single Op. operation is it allowed to watch national TV
broadcasts during the contest or is it taking me to S.O. Assisted
category ?
The reason for asking this is that we can see the DX cluster infos on
normal TV (text-TV page460), hi. I presume that is compared to packet
radio. Are there any text-TV, teletext, videotext or whatever where you
could include the cluster infos ?

Subject: LOGCFG.DAT For Internet SprINT
Message-ID: <9312280643.AA13390@greylock.local>
Several logs from the last Internet SprINT had commented that the op had
tried using Tree/N6TR's "LOG" program, but had been overwhelmed by the
learning curve. That happened to me, too. And I found that practicing LOG
-- with or without the simulator -- required having a decent configuration
file whth reasonable messages and features.
Anyway, in order to promote SprINT activity, I thought I'd make available a
LOGCFG.DAT file for the Internet SprINT. It's heavily annotated with useful
details -- like which buttons to hit when. It's about 160 lines. A sample
excerpt is appended below.
E-mail to k2mm@maspar.com gets a copy. 73, and CU Sunday. --John/K2MM
; Method 2 -- S&P in ANY mode -- works with simulator OK; lets you dump in
; your call before typing in callsign.
;
; 2a. Copy call in your head. Leave call window empty.
; 2b. Check for dupe in editable log.
; ** 2c. Hit <SPACE> to send your call. Now in S&P mode.
; 2d. Type call into call window.
; ** 2e. Hit <TAB> to put cursor in exchange window.
;
; ** Never hit <SPACE> with both callsign and cursor in call window. If
; you've worked the station before, LOG will call it a dupe and flush
; the call. Also applies to <CR>, but only in S&P mode.
