A very effective way to get the call from the "non-signer" is to make up a
call as follows:
unknown stn: N5RZ 599 9
RZ: 9Y4KL? 599 4 bk
Almost guaranteed to get the guy to send his callsign, especially if you use
one of their competitor's callsigns!! It's gotta be in your log right or
else they lose the QSO!! Of course the curse should be on the lids in the
pile up who don't & won't listen & give a call or two right on top of the DX
stn who finally does sign a call!!

Miscopying calls should not be taken lightly. YOU WILL LOSE CREDIT FOR
THE CONTACT IF THE *OTHER* GUY MISCOPIES YOUR CALL.
Somewhat surprised by my score reduction in the 1994 CQWW CW, I was
kindly provided a copy of my log corrections by K3EST, after requesting
it. Out of 20 or so contatcs deleted from my log, 17 were because the
OTHER guy miscopied MY call. 4U1VIC miscopied me on 2 bands! Bye bye 2
mults!
One question arises - is this policy fair? Let's suppose the following
occurs:
W2UP: CQ CQ TEST DE W2UP W2UP K
DX: DL2XXX
W2UP: DL2XXX 59905
DX: TU 59914
W2UP: TU TEST DE W2UP
In this exchange DL2XXX never sent my call, so I don't know if he got it
right or not. If he didn't, the contact's removed from the log. SOund
fair? Not to me. Suggestions?

Comments:
With the cast of operators we had lined up and the kind of conditions we
expected to experience, we were perhaps a bit over-optimistic about
moving up
in the M/M standings. Unlike phone, however, there are no substantial
numbers
of VE's to be worked during the day on CW, and 40 meters changes
from being
primarily S&P into a big run band. These two factors worked against us,
and
despite a fantastic operating effort, we can do no better than third.
Congrats to N2RM and W3LPL. USA M/M is a *very* competitive
category!
Band-by-band:
160: The way the band opened 2 hours before the contest, you knew it
was going
to be good, and it was still better than we dared to expect. Low noise
level
and low MUF translated into hearing and working everything. Highlights
were
working JA Saturday morning and UA9 Saturday night. Lowlight was
hearing the
SU2MT pile and not being able to touch it.
80: Is there anything that K3UA didn't work here? With the famous pot of
coffee and the stack of vintage magazines nearby, Phil snagged some
really
good zones, missing only 12(!),18,22,23,24, 26, 28,37, and 39. Activity
stretched beyond 3585.
40: Truly memorable propagation. Short path HS worked at 0000z.
Bone-crushingly
loud EU three hours before sunset. Direct path Asia very good both
mornings, but couldn't CQ due because of QRM to 15 meter station.
Band
cratered out at 03-05 UTC both nights as MUF moved down. Could only
listen as
New England ran EU between 18-20 UTC. Stuck on 38 zones until
second morning
when K3LR's precision beam pointing netted a VU.
20: The band played very much like 15 meters used to. Had only 100
QSOs at
sunrise (1200 UTC), but quickly racked up 726 more in the next five
hours.
Band pretty much gone to EU by 1830 or so. Surprising depth to the JA
opening
-- we worked just over 300 JA's. Band seemed wide open to UA9-0
almost around
the clock, but didn't work as many as we did on SSB.
15: This band teased us, but never seemed to fully open, with shallow
openings
both mornings to EU, and very marginal JA on Sunday night only. Didn't
work a
UA until Sunday. Rate to DL/G was good while it lasted. 4S/HB9AMO
was a
thrill Sunday morning, but he was the only Asian we heard.
10: New recruit KA3JWJ earns the "iron a**" award. More effort per
QSO here
thn anywhere else. Kept passing stuff to 10, with very little success.
Other Random Comments:
I don't think we in US/VE appreciate how different the CQ WW must be in
different parts of the world. CQ-ing on 40 meters at 1800z is a very
interesting experience. Most EU just ignore us -- they are working what
appears to be an intra-continental contest. Occasionally a Western EU
station
catches our call in the QRM and gives us a call. The cast of EU stations
"sharing" our frequency contantly changes -- most of them are stations
we
need, but we are essentially invisible to them.
Big improvements made in the W8/W9 portion of the packetcluster
network netted
a lot of good spots. Very solid connection to
Illinois/Wisconsin/Minnesota.
Wish we could have heard the JT you spotted on 20! Nice going, guys.
Speaking of packet, is it time to mention what surely seems to be regular
self-spotting by a few stations? I thought the proper place to solicit
QSOs
was on HF, not VHF/internet.
Now its time to "ramp down" and get into the holiday season like normal
people. Thanks to all for the QSOs, and congratulations and thanks to
Tim for
the use of his fine station.

Hi,
MaxiSwitch programmable keyboard also available
from JDR microdevices in San Jose, CA
toll-free 1-800-538-5000 order line
Their list price is higher, tho', for some reason.
about 100 bux.
A phone call might reveal a lower price... prices
seem to fall pretty fast, making catalogs
out-of-date when published. JDR is good, and has
great tech support for their stuff.
