Alex, try adding a space (or another space) after the 5. That will reduce
the busted call problems. A lot of computer loggers (esp CT) tend to run
characters too close for comfort. At higher speeds, I double or even triple
space my call... and add extra spaces between words: CQ--TEST---A-D-6--E
It really helps.

- Unfortunately I could only put in a modest effort this year (4.5hrs).
Family vacation plans placed me 3 hours away at a beach resort on the
VK2 coastline (without a radio) the first day and most of the second.
Band conditions seemed good and signal strength very reasonable on
the second day from 09z-13z.
- Didn't have any trouble with someone trying to take my freq (as
mentioned by ON4UN). Operated almost exclusively up around 7.045-7.050
looking for General/Advance class ops. Worked a few calls I didn't
recognize which may have been Gen/Adv, but most of stations worked
were the usual extra class calls.
- Didn't have any trouble with SSB down on the lower end which was nice
for a change. Had some minor problems up around 7.050 where I was
operating, but at least they left the low end alone. The digital
guys on 7.040 tied up some needed bandwidth, but were accomodated.
- Through a series of unfortunate keystrokes I managed to replace my
logs and backups tonight with empty files. Had difficulty using
the undelete program because the new filenames were the same as
the orginal data files. Fortunately I was able to use Norton Utilities
to search the disk for unique text strings to find and subsequently
restore the data. I can now relate to comments made by other
contesters who've lost logs and what it feels like to think that all
that effort has just gone out the window. I've certainly learned my
lesson and won't let that happen again.
- Had a good time as usual and will be back next year with a bigger
effort.

Subject: Com2 Problem
Message-ID: <199702191323.IAA31601@mh101.infi.net>
I have a receive only problem when using com2 with DXBASE on packet.
It had been running trouble free for about five years when my 2meter
rig developed a problem last October. I recently had the rig repaired
and attempted to log onto the packet cluster only to find out I had no
receive. The only thing that I have done with com2 in the meantime was
to use com2 to key the rig during the cw contest. Todate here is what
I have tried.
I have a dumb terminal that I use with an A/B switch to switch my TNC
either into the computer or into the dumb terminal. The dumb terminal works
great into the TNC. So TNC is probably OK.
I replaced the cable run from the TNC to Com2
I replaced the serial interface board thinking the uart had gone bad.
I then checked the IRQ's thinking there might be a conflict.
Com1 Mouse using IRQ4.
Com2 DXBASE using IRQ3.
Com4 internal modem using IRQ5.
I removed the internal modem.
I have checked to see if by chance I might have a TSR running, none.
Com1 on my serial card is wired to a DB9 connector for my mouse. The wiring
for Com2 and Com1 is via small flat ribbon cable and little connectors. I
reversed these which now put my com1 on the DB25 connector and everything
worked fine. My next step was to normalize
everything and place the serial interface board into another physical
slot, same result no receive on com2.
I called the folks at DXBASE and they worked with me for about 30min
trying to figure what was going on. They were unable to come up with
a reason or a fix.
Today I plan on buying a db9 to db25 adapter and trying my mouse on com2.
In the meantime any suggestions would be appreciated. Transmit
side of Com2 works fine with either CT or DXBASE. Anyone have any thoughts.
Thanks you in advance 73 Pete N4KW

Something happened last night which I thought was most unusual and worth
reporting....
This belongs on the amplifier reflector, but it isn't up yet as far as I know...
The Ameritron company called me personally last night around dinner time,
to let me know that the warranty on my almost-one-year-old AL-1200
was going to run out at the end of the month. They wanted to know
if everything was working OK, and remind me that if there was anything
wrong they would be happy to fix it before the warranty expired!
When was the last time anything like that happened to you??

Pete,
I had a similar problem here at K7MM.
I found the difficulty when I closely examined the flat cable from
the serial card to the D25 jack on the computer case. One of the
traces had been zorched! Apparently, there had been an over current
condition some time in the past!!!
I replaced the flat cable, IDC connector, and "molded" D25 male
serial jack with a junk box spare . . . only to find that it would
not work!
I replaced all kinds of components in the serial chain (the "I put"
method) with no success.
Finally, I tried another flat cable, IDC connector, and "molded" D25 male
serial jack. Bingo! Everything began working, and the serial COM2
is working fine to this day.
The moral of the story: Beware of "flat cable, IDC connector, and
"molded" D25 male serial jack" assemblies! Not all are wired
equally!

That was me. I was on my run of obscene phone calls and to my surprise,
I not only got a man on the other end, but a ham. So--I winged it!

Message-ID: <1.5.4.32.19970219195556.006813c8@ax.apc.org>
Dear friends,
I am sorry for the bad QSD during the ARRL CW but for the first time I used
the CT for a CW contest. It was a little hard to use the keyboard and keyer
at the same time. However with all the problems I finished with 500 qsos
most of them on 15 meters (prop was good on this band), 40m was pretty bad
due to strong TVI in a neighbor's television. When I thought he was already
sleeping (3:00 am local time) I tried to increase the power to 500w, in 5
minutes he called me up to say beautiful words. I have had this problem for
5 years and that's the reason I don't operate 40m too much. There is a lack
of shielding in his TV set but he refuses to believe (he lives 300ft from my
QTH), nobody complains only him. I even installed a core in his TV power
cable and it allowed me to increase the output power from 20W to about 200W
(not more). But a KW? never!
In Brazil the ham is always guilty. What a nightmare!
73 and see you all again during the ARRL SSB,
Carlos - PY1CAS

Message-ID: <199702192237.PAA07366@usr11.primenet.com>
Howdy Folks,
Apologies if this is a repeat - first attempt to send
this to the List seems to have failed.
Interested in a contest with a twist? We're pleased to
announce the FYBO ("Freeze Your B____ Off") Winter QRP
Field Day, the first contest we know of with a temperature
multiplier.
Don't let the QRP requirement turn you away. We hope
folks will give QRP a try and see what can really be done
with it. One of my biggest thrills in ham radio was last
Fall when I worked a ham on 40m who was running a mere
250 milliwatts in NC. Not bad from AZ! I have that QSL up
on my wall now. Right next to last June's VK on 30m w/
4 watts. All on Hamstick verticals no less. :-) So it can
be done. And it's *very* addicting. You may be pleasantly
surprised.
Should be fun, and a nice way to give your finals a
break until the next "big" contest.
Please let me know if you have any questions/comments.
Thanks! This Saturday (Feb 22) is the day. Apologies
for the late notice, but I just discovered this list.
Hope to hear you out there!
Cheers de AB7TT,
-Joe, vole@primenet.com, AZ ScQRPions
-------------- QRP CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT --------------
FYBO (Freeze Your B____ Off) Winter QRP Field Day
Sponsored by the Arizona ScQRPions
** SAFETY FIRST! Please respect the weather and your own limitations. **
When: 1700Z Feb 22 - 0500Z Feb 23
QRP Only (5W max CW, 10W max SSB).
Modes: CW, Phone.
Bands: HF, standard QRP calling freqs (no WARC). For Novice portion of
bands, suggest 3.710, 7.110, 21.110, 28.110.
Work stations once per band.
Exchange: RS(T), state/province/DXCC country, power output, and temperature
(Fahrenheit) at OPERATOR'S POSITION. Indoor stations must report INDOOR
temperature. Example: "RST 579 AZ 2W 58F". Novices sign with /N, Techs
sign with /T.
Points:
- 5 pts/QSO with a U.S. Novice/Tech ham (i.e. work a Novice/Tech, get 5 pts).
- 2 pts/QSO in U.S. Novice portion of bands with General class or higher ham.
- 1 pt/QSO all other.
Example: W1AW (Extra) completes QSO with KD6PRD/N (Novice).
W1AW gets 5 pts. KD6PRD/N gets 2 pts and a pileup. :-)
Multipliers:
- States/provinces/DXCC countries (each counts only once)
- Field Location = x 4 (ARRL Field Day definition of "in the field" apply)
- Alternative Power Source (battery/solar/wind/etc) = x 2
- QRPp (less than 1w) = x 2
- Lowest temperature recorded at OPERATOR'S POSITION while on the air
(Indoor stations must use INDOOR temperature):
60+ F = x 1
