Started 20 min late.  I was out doing some last minute work on a 40m
antenna.  I shouldn't have bothered, I only made one QSO there.  QRN
on 40 was bad here.  20 was better.  Sorry to the station I wouldn't
work because I had worked him before.  It dawned on me as soon as it
was too late that I _could_ work him again!  Then I had to break
myself of the habit of hitting the space bar and dupe-checking
everyone and erasing the call.

Someday I'm gonna get the hang of this contest...
Someday I'll have a decent contest station...
Someday I'll be ready for a contest _before_ it starts!

Famous last words! 8-) Enjoyed it anyway!

IOTA Contest: 1200z Saturday 29th July - 1200z 30th July 1995
-------------------------------------------------------------

GW5LP/P will be active again this year from Anglesey, IOTA EU-124
during the IOTA Contest.  Operation during the contest will be both CW
& SSB, and on all bands 80 through 10 metres in the Multi-Operator
Island category.

Operators again this year are Lionel G5LP, Fred G4BWP and Steve G3VMW.
Please give us a call if you hear us QRV - we would love to improve on
our 3rd place last year!

We shall be running Vee Beams aimed at EU, W and JA plus at 70ft plus a
3 ele tribander at 60ft and dipoles for 80/40m.  There will be two
stations operational - a run station with an FT-1000 and TL-922 and a
multiplier station with a TS-930S and TL-922.

Computerised logging will be handled by EI5DI's program SDI.

QSLs are being handled by G5LP (QTHR) - please include a SAE and return
postage for direct QSLs.  Also, Lionel will be happy to QSL every QSO
via the bureau.

Operation outside of the contest will be made with the callsign
GC4MBC/P when RTTY QSOs will also be available - QSL to G4BWP (QTHR).

On behalf of all the operators at GW5LP/P, many thanks for your
support over the past two years.  We look forward to meeting many old
friends again during this year's contest.

1.  Not all of us read our e-mail everyday, due to work schedules, 
vacation, etc.  So someties we (I) have several days of catching up to 
do.  All of my messages, several, and most of them short, were on one 
day, Saturday, not multiple days.

2.  I generally do not repeat the messages other people posted, contained 
within my message.  Initiating a response as a "re" is a convenience, to 
not have to retype the reflector adr.  You'll notice I didn't do that 
this time.

3.  I perceive a tendency for many to make pronouncements, which often 
end with expressions like "nuff said," to indicate they do not welcome 
further discussion.  To me free and open discussion is a good thing.  I 
perceive that many are intolerant, though, of divergent viewpoints and 
don't want to discuss issues.

4.  Many people, when they tire of a discussion, or want to avoid free 
and open discussion, launch insults.  I think they often do this when 
they run out of arguments to make on their side of the issue.

The above reasons are why many people who have good thoughts and good 
comments they COULD make, instead choose to keep quiet.  In any group 
there are wise and prudent people and there are loose cannons.  Loose 
canons will spout opinions on anything and everything at the drop of a 
hat.  We give over our forum to them by default if we keep silent.

Actually KA2RRK told me that the proper Q-Signal for "Is the frequency in 
use" is QSU?

Subject: QRL?
Message-ID: <9507231836.AA14208@radar.nrl.navy.mil>

The "Q" code came from an International Radiotelegraph Convention much prior 
to WW II and was intennded to meet some of the major needs in international
radio communication. "QRL?  =  Are you busy?" and  "QRL  =  I am busy  
Please do not interfere" have  been in the code from the start.  
Probably radio amateurs were no consideration in its origin,  but some 
amateurs have found it useful and perhaps put their own little twist on it.

When I first got on the air QRA (The name of my station is......) 
was used by amateurs much like we now use QTH.  And although I was 
into traffic handling for a time, I dont remember QSL being used;  "R"
meant the message was copied complete, for anything less fills were
requested.  I guess amateur radio language is no more stationary than
that that we speak.

We just cut down my tower and I have no HF antenna at all. I want to
put up some kind of wire loop or who knows what that could get me throught
the season. New tower later this year or next. All ideas welcomed. Tnx, Bob

IOTA Contest: 1200z Saturday 29th July - 1200z 30th July 1995
-------------------------------------------------------------
GW5LP/P will be active again this year from Anglesey, IOTA EU-124
during the IOTA Contest.  Operation during the contest will be both CW
& SSB, and on all bands 80 through 10 metres in the Multi-Operator
Island category.

Operators again this year are Lionel G5LP, Fred G4BWP and Steve G3VMW.
Please give us a call if you hear us QRV - we would love to improve on
our 3rd place last year!

We shall be running Vee Beams aimed at EU, W and JA at 70ft plus a
3 ele tribander at 60ft and dipoles for 80/40m.  There will be two
stations operational - a run station with an FT-1000 & TL-922 plus a
multiplier station with a TS-930S & TL-922.

Computerised logging will be handled by EI5DI's program SDI.

QSLs are being handled by G5LP (QTHR) - please include a SAE and return
postage for direct QSLs.  Also, Lionel will be happy to QSL every QSO
via the bureau.

Operation outside of the contest will be made with the callsign
GC4MBC/P when RTTY QSOs will also be available - QSL to G4BWP (QTHR).

On behalf of all the operators at GW5LP/P, many thanks for your
support over the past two years.  We look forward to meeting many old
friends again during this year's contest.

Subject: Computer Configuration (it works)
Message-ID: <199507240120.SAA28418@mailhost.primenet.com>

First, it does all work with CT etc.  

I use the DOS multiple boot-up configurations for some of the drivers.
One configuration boots up with network enabled, one boots up without.
My CONTEST configuration boots up without the sound drivers and the 
network drivers.

Only one boot-up configuration would not allow it to work, but with a
couple boot-up configurations, IT ALL DOES WORK!  Much thought went into
all this!  I did think of the obvious stuff.

>I don't think these configurations will work very well with CT.  Too

>port/IRQ for other purposes.

If you notice, my "bus mouse" is at 338 IRQ 10.  It is a special board
that emulates a "bus mouse" but uses a serial mouse with a Logitech bus 
mouse driver.  IRQ 2 does not work on my system, tried it.  

There are NO port conflicts.  Some IRQs are overlapped, but these are
devices that do not operate at the same time (drivers not loaded etc).

The ethernet board and DVP are not at the same address any longer.  One
is at 300, the other 303.  I had to fix that.  When I boot up for CONTEST
operation, the sound drivers are not loaded, so there is no IRQ conflict.  
I don't have to remove hardware, just don't load the drivers, which is what 
I do during any contest.

>>All COM ports must have a unique IRQ if you are going to use them all
>with CT.

Yes, I won't use my R-7000 scanner in CT.  Won't run both ethernet and
serial network in CT at same time.  Wont use the Pro-audio spectrum in
CT either.  All handled by the boot-up configuration.  I picked which
ports went where very carefully (it took some time).  CT can use all 
that it needs.

It works great as is.  More IRQ flexibility would be great, but don't
need it, now.

left Osaka for 6Y with his family. He will stay there for a few years.

Please do NOT send mail to his @niftyserve.or.jp address anymore as he

He brings IC736 so that he can do contest. Let's hope he can find good

It has been pointed out that one of my messages has appeared multiple
times.  I do NOT know why.  I appologize, but somehow something out of
my control caused the repeat.  I use Winsock/Eudora and I cannot see
how it could go out more than once!  Sorry.

I think the content was also an issue with one guy.  The point I'm at
is configuring my station for 2-radio (SOP or MS/M2).  I am going to 
great lengths to setup everything correctly.  On Friday I installed
a special 4-port serial board in my contest computer and analyzed my
configuration.  I thought that contest computer configuration for use
with popular programs would be fair game on the reflector.  Someone 
complained about my post not being of interest to anyone.  

I know for sure it was interesting to one DX station who I am trying to 
help with his configuration right now.

I see lots of stuff of no interest to me, but I use the delete key and
figure others find it interesting.  

Can someone tell me what is an appropriate subject and how to stop the
repeats?

Subject: "QRL"? Apologies
Message-ID: <199507240257.TAA03198@mail.eskimo.com>

Since the mail just keeps pouring in I'll reword and restate an earlier post.

Thanks again to all of the kind folks who pointed out the error in my *"QRL"
Apologies* post where I managed to mix-up the name associated with W4KFC's
call.  I did in fact know that Gus Browning=W4BPD and Vic Clark=W4KFC. I
even have a W4KFC QSL hanging on the wall in front of me.  When I was
composing the original apology message I had planned on also making
reference to Gus, but changed my mind.  In the process of cutting and
pasting I managed to transpose the names (not once but twice).  A bad thing
to do considering my earlier faux pas.

My personal favorite was Vic. This IS NOT meant to be any offense to Gus, I
just knew more about Vic.

Thanks for the help.  I'll not waste any further bandwidth on this one.
Just trying to close the floodgate a little bit. (21 additional messages
just this morning!).

According to the July/August issue of NCJ, the Worked all Europe CW
contest is 19-20 August. In August QST, the date is listed under
that date header, but the text below indicates that the contest is 
12-13 August. I thought the WAE CW was always the 2nd full
weekend in August. (ie 12-13 August) 

Does anyone have additional information regarding the actual
date this year?

Sure, but that's the exception by far.  That's just contesting...it's not
intentional and is almost by definition unavoidable.  It's irritating, but
not really the major concern, which is how many "channel-seconds" are
occupied by unuseful and counterproductive transmissions.

Subject: LPT1 Band Port Only!
Message-ID: <199507240516.WAA11147@mailhost.primenet.com>

Below is my updated contest configuration for my contest computers.
(Feel free to depress the delete key at this point if you feel ill.)

There was an error in that only LPT1 can be used by CT for band info
for the Top Ten Decoder.  Please note that I have moved my printer 
to LPT3.  Also, I have included the possibility of 2-radio operation
with CT as well as N6TR (single computer).  

Anyone have the pinout for the CT control signal (radio 1/2)?  Ever
built a relay box?  For CW?  For SSB?

Anyone see any other problems, now?

BTW:  Computer configuration precedes installation of the Top Ten
      Decoders, then an automatic antenna switch, and finally the
      installation of the Dunestar filters.  It all fits together
      and soon I will be past the dubious job of configuring my two
      computers.  This thread deals with 2-radio operation and I 
      have received so little information, there is nothing to try
      to summarize.  Please don't flame, I'm just trying to set up 
      my station and others have asked to be provided with the info
      I get.  For now, this is about it.  Bear with me and I'll try
      to move on to the fun stuff, otherwise just delete everything.
      Before I know it, an entire station will be built.
