Comments:
This was my first Sprint. I thought this was a difficult and
demanding contest. I was pretty frustrated the first hour or
so just trying to get the hang of it. Things became easier
as the contest went on. The first thing which was immediately
apparent is that my CW ability needs vast improvement if I am to
continue CW contesting. I felt like I was driving people crazy
asking for repeats, especially the guys running 40+ WPM who
would not QRS, even when asked, even on the 4th repeat request!
Still, it was good training, and I guess this is how I will get
better at CW contesting. Thanks for all the repeats!
I, by virtue of my statement below, have taken part in the
1995 NCJ NORTH AMERICAN SPRINT on 02/12/1995
conscientiously applying my most ethical interpretation of the
published rules for this contest.

Subject: FT-1000 and J-Com TC-Y1 Interface (timeout error)
Message-ID: <v01510101ab668a3d35c3@[199.2.212.11]>
I just received the J-Com interface and have been trying to get it working
for the upcoming ARRL DX contest.
When using CT all I get is a timeout error. When using TR Log I can
control the mode, band up & down, qsy vfo in the S&P mode, type freq into
call window to send the radio to a new freq, but the thing doesn't seem to
be sending any vfo data to the computer. RX by radio but no TX to
computer.
Hardware:
486DX33 & STB 4-Com Serial card (4 high speed ports)
Yaesu FT-1000 (firmware v6.0)
J-Com TC-Y1 Interface (one week old)
TR Log v5.16
CT v9.13
Baud rate set to 4800 in software.
Anyone else have this problem?
What was your fix?
