I've always thought this was just my problem of some DX stations calling off
freq. I find that JA's tend to call a bit on the low side, SSB or CW , We
don't normally hear enough EU on 10 M where I tend to operate to notice.

They're most certainly PCB-mounted, but that should only stop the most
dedicated QCAO types.
DIN = German Institute for Standardization, but looking any further requires
Euros & I've only got pounds in me pocket.
Some of these funky "DIN plugs" may be covered under the standard, but
I suggest they are used deliberately to force the user to buy these somewhat
hard to find connectors from the equipment manufacturer.
They certainly aren't to be found in component stores here. But then again,
neither are metric threaded M-plugs (aka UHF). Perhaps they're common in
Akihabara, in which case they belong on the domestic versions of the
radios & not the ones sold to the rest of us.
A more permanent alternative to toothpicks is to take the one funky plug
supplied with the radio & making a short cable (a few cm long) from it
terminating into a more common connector.

I just got word of a couple of last-minute changes in operations for this
weekend's ARRL DX SSB contest:
- OH2PM, who had been planning to operate from OH0, is now joining OH2BH
as a M/S entry from EA8BH.
- Filling the OH0 slot will be OH2JTE, operating Single Op as OH0B.
QSL both operations via OH2BH.

Message-ID: <125490A005E3D3118C9C00805FC743CC035B742D@KAHLESS>
Announcing the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet
Editor - Ward Silver, N0AX
(email: rate-sheet@arrl.org)
The ARRL is pleased to announce the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet - to be
published every other week by the ARRL! It's intended to be a useful source
of timely information for both the active and casual contester. The Rate
Sheet will include information about events during the following two-week
period and time-sensitive news items.
The first issue will be published March 13. ARRL Members may subscribe to
the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet by going to the Member Data Page at:
http://www.arrl.org/members-only/memdata.html?modify=1
Note that you must be logged in to the site to access this page. Scroll down
to the section "Which of the following would you like to receive
automatically via email from ARRL?" Check the box for "ARRL Contest Rate
Sheet (biweekly contest newsletter)" and you're all set.
We're going to start with a simple format. To keep the newsletter light and
tight, we'll rely heavily on summaries and links to web pages that make
available more extensive information. Additions and changes will be made
over time as the best use of the newsletter format becomes clearer.
In the meantime, suggestions for content and organization are welcome!
Please send your ideas to rate-sheet@arrl.org.
73, Ward N0AX
****************************************************************************
Here's the overall format and a sample of typical items...
Each issue will begin with a Summary followed by critical bulletin-level
items, such as FCC communications emergencies, short-notice rule changes,
and so forth.
Announcements and Notices for the two-week period being covered will come
next. This will include notices of what contests are running the coming
weekends with Contest Corral text (including web links) and pending log
submission deadlines.
News for this issue follows the announcements section and will include
newsworthy items received during the preceding two weeks. Look for news
reports from the ARRL Contest Desk, announcements of results availability,
changes in contest data bases, software releases, and other news from
contributors.
Technical and Technique items will be included as they are available. I'll
try to include a Contest Tip or very short technical/technique item in each
issue.
Conversational pieces will be included if they're of general interest, such
as limited press releases about contests, products, conventions, or
contesters. And I'll to slip in a humorous aside now and then, such as the
occasional limerick.
The following are samples of the type of information that will be included
in the Rate Sheet:
Announcement - Virginia QSO Party, Phone and CW, sponsored by the Sterling
Park ARC 1800Z, Mar 16 - 0200Z, Mar 18. Frequencies: CW - 1.805 and 50 kHz
up; Phone -1.845 3.860 7.260 14.270 21.370 28.370 kHz; Novice/Tech -- 10 kHz
up and 28.370; VHF/UHF - 50.125 144.200, 146.58, 223.50 446.00 MHz. No
repeater or cross-mode QSOs. SO, MS, MM fixed station and mobile
categories, no time limit, QSOs once per band/mode/VA QTH, VA stations work
everyone, others work VA stations only. Exchange: serial number and SPC or
VA county/city. QSO Points: Phone - 1pt, CW - 2 pts, Mobile - 3 pts.
Multipliers - VA city/counties + SPC. Score: QSO Points x Multipliers
(counted only once). VA mobiles add 100 pts per VA city/county activated.
Add 500 pts for QSO with K4NVA. For more information -
www.qsl.net/sterling. Logs must be emailed or postmarked by Apr 15 to
ks4ii@arrl.net or Virginia QSO Party, Call Box 599, Sterling, VA 20167.
Notice - Log Deadline: New Hampshire QSO Party - March 31 - arrl@nhradio.org
or NH-ARRL, POB 119 Goffstown, NH 03045-0119.
News from the ARRL Contest Desk - The list of Logs Received for the 2001
ARRL International EME Competition was posted after the logs were verified
against the server - see www.arrl.org/contests.
Contest Tip - When operating QRP, don't append "/QRP" to your callsign. At
best it slows your contacts and at worst makes it much harder for the
receiving station to copy your call correctly. You're already running low
power, maximize the probability of correct copy by only sending what's
necessary to get through.
Press Release - N6TR released version 6.63 of TR-LOG on 24 February. Zipped
versions were sent to all subscribed users. A corrected version of the
companion log-processing program POST was also sent as POST 6.63a.

McDuff had just worked his Clean Sweep
But he found that the cost was quite steep.
He called for an hour
Running maximum power
And his new amp collapsed in a heap.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] How many boxes in you shack?
Message-ID: <050901c1c15f$04301b40$62f1a118@tampabay.rr.com>
AA4LT wrote some words worth repeating:
"It was never an issue how many boxes you had on your desk, or in your
shack -- and it shouldn't be an issue today."
I wholeheartedly agree...we are testing an entrants ability to manage the
act of making QSOs - if he can do SO2R like the likes of N5TJ or K1TO - then
more power to them...
Contesting is about pitting one set of gray cells against another. Not I
have more boxes than you do therefore I win - trust me K1TO has been kicking
my butt since when we were Generals and I was using an S Line and he had
some Heathkit junk...
Since the gray cells of K1TO are better than those of K4OJ I will just have
to try and compensate with some more boxes on my desk :-), and he still
whups my butt only to tell me his amp was broke and he was running low
power...go figure ----- is that a concrete wall for me to hit my head on?
This idea of one set of finding on superiorly trained set of gray cells is
also the essence of why packet operating is a dilemma to so many operators -
it is others' gray cells contributing to making QSOs...if K1TO can do this
solo by constantly sweeping the bands with the second RX with only his gray
cells versus me having to resort to packet and adding additional set(s) of
gray cells...well, I should not be in the same category as K1TO who is doing
it with his single set of gray cells...but, we already knew that!
(PS: Dan's brain appears to be migrating outward...at least the gray part
does.)
GL in ARRL DX SSB to everybody.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Economics of Contest QSLing
Message-ID: <3.0.5.32.20020302085033.00aba270@pop.abs.adelphia.net>
This is an update and elaboration on information previously provided by
AD1C. I hope it's useful.
$3.20 will send a pound of QSLs by surface mail to most countries in
Europe. The rate to Japan is $4.05. This means that if you have anything
over about 6 ounces of QSLs going to any single bureau, it is more
economical to forward your QSLs directly, rather than going through the
ARRL outgoing bureau, at $8.00 a pound plus domestic postage.
The savings can be worthwhile. I just sent 26 packages of QSLs to various
bureaus (the DL bureau got 3) for a total cost of $84. They weighed a
total of 19 lb, which would have cost $152 plus $7 postage through the
outgoing bureau. I still had 8 pounds to go via the ARRL, for $64 plus $5
postage, or a total of $69.00.
I had my QSLs printed locally at a cost of $95 for 4000 cards, and printed
the QSL data (5800 QSOs) directly on the cards with DX4WIN.
I think I've squeezed the costs pretty hard. Even so, and not putting any
value on my time (this is a hobby, right?), or on inkjet printer ink, I
figure the total cost of QSLing this batch at $248, or 4.3 cents per QSO.
Is it any wonder that I'm really looking forward to the advent of ARRL's
Logbook of the World?

I have a chance to buy a mint Alpha 91B amplifier with nearly no hours
use for a good price. Having sold an Alpha 76CA recently I would
like to replace it. Anyone out there have any serious negative
comments about the 91B? It does come with the extended warranty.
Thanks

Has anyone noticed that TO4T who said he was in Guadeloupe is not in the
current country file for contest software and thus isn't counted as a mult?

So add him to your country.dat file (or whatever your
logging software calls it) and recompile it, already, it
will make you happy, happy. I did during the contest, (mine
was a very part time effort). :-( The log checking
software will score it correctly, anyway.
Hope you made more Q's than I did. Had to work both days,
with Sunday being 14.5 hours, (live TV telethon).

Was out of town on business for a week. So Saturday's trip by the PO Box was
very rewarding. Received the latest issues of CQ and QEX, and a couple of
fishing magazines!
CQ?
Front page photo of someone's big thumb knocking off the top of some ham's
great tower with the caption "FCC KO's Expansion of PRB-1". There are more
details inside.

Just open CTY.DAT file (edit) and add TO4T to Guadelope (FG).

I fixed it for TR log but my question is more basic.
How would a casual contestor (who may use contest/logging software) know
that TO4T is FG not FM or something else if it's not in the latest country
file and not separated in the DXCC booklet listing international call sign
allocations? Would TO4T really need to announce his location after every
QSO or so?!? I am on several email lists but several new contestors are
likely not to be. This is not just a rhetorical question---we have some
new contestors in the area.

Note: With the recent changeover to Mailman and new changes at
the Web submission page, we have had some hiccup's. Yes, I
know the EA8ZS score was incomplete and I have asked for
an update from the database. If you see any other
weirdness, please let me know. Also, submissions not made
through the Web submission page may be delayed if you do
not subscribe to 3830 as the approval process is more of
a batch mode process now rather than individual emails.

Note: With the recent changeover to Mailman and new changes at
the Web submission page, we have had some hiccup's. Yes, I
know the EA8ZS score was incomplete and I have asked for
an update from the database. If you see any other
weirdness, please let me know. Also, submissions not made
through the Web submission page may be delayed if you do
not subscribe to 3830 as the approval process is more of
a batch mode process now rather than individual emails.
Your patience is appreciated. 73 dink

Yep, sure did notice that. Especially after it placed "///////" in the Mult
column after I entered the QSOs. (Am using NA here).
Let's see if one of the computer guys here comes up with a "fix". The only
way I could get it to "count" was to enter the callsign as TO4T/FG and if I
were to turn the logs in like that it may cost me 3 QSOs and 3 Mults since
that is not really the callsign he was signing! Ugly for anyone, and uglier
for a small score like mine!
I did take a look at the Master Callsign Database, but am not sure I want to
modify it on my own without some instruction. Seems confusing. 73

My name is Ted, callsign S51TA , age 23, active ham. I was never
disqualified or non-classificated in any of the contests except in case of
SCC-Slovenia Contest Club, in which committee can do whatever they want.
First some preface;
As a very active and young contester I was also very active in SCC-Slovenia
Contest Club and because of that, I quickly (1st) became member of
supervising committee of SCC and after a year I became a president of
supervising committee of SCC at age 19. Two presidents of this committee
make resignation before me, University professor s50k, and well-known s5
politician s50o because of strange things were happening mostly with money
transfers! (Nobody want to have dirty hands with that-ham radio is a hobby).
But I was only 19 (and happy to be among the top s5 ops) and started to work
as a president of the supervising committee! After a year they wanted me to
sign the papers as they prepared them but I doubted in such behaviour and
said "wait a second guys, I am not prepared to do things like this".( I am
young, raised in democracy, and with plans for a "clean" future.
After that they deposed me without my knowledge, and started to make things
difficult to me in every single way! Everything started few weeks before
WRTC2000, from which they wanted to depose me again but they could not,
because I came with a lawyer on hearings.
There is a much longer and juicy story behind this but that is not the
reason I am writing you today. For futher information and to ease making
final judgement maybe contact some hams from YU, Z3, LY, OH or non SCC
members!
In the year 2000 I was claimed 1st in EUHFC in LP Mixed category, but was
removed from classification list with no good reason, but with a bad
explanation, that contest committee did not get what they wanted/requested.
The winning person was of course S50A, the president of SCC.(They wanted
restart.bin from TR).
We were having big verbal fights about that. S56A contacted Tree, N6TR and
they proved to SCC that is possible that TR software gave out double serial
number, which happened to me, as it was the reason for non classification.
Last year (2001) I send the log, and again some problems..they wanted me to
send them a certificate from cabrillo that I was making contest within the
limitations. Only s56a and me were ordered to send this!
And here the scores are, they ranged me #4 and in final comments they wrote;
"The Sanctioning Committee discussed also the case of unsportsmanlike
conduct of S51TA and this operator is excluded from future contests
organized by Slovenia Contest Club."
I believe such committee cannot decide on and do sanctions like this. I"ve
send a letter in which I wanted an explanation, but till today nothing
happened!
I am asking you contesters if such thing ever happened to you?
I believe I am the 1st on planet Earth, ever treated in such way, with no
reason, only because I told to everyone about their business and trades in
S5 and because I was loyal to myself and I was only telling the truth and
nothing but the truth.
If the SCC would be a real ham radio club for connecting ham radio
operators the number of contesters which donate points would raise or stay
the same, but lately, a big percentage of hams do not donate points to SCC
anymore!
Sorry for bothering you with such things, but I believe it is important for
me and some others to talk freely about the things happening around, It is
our hobby isn"t it? And I do want that this hobby will also be "clean" in
the future!
Maybe some non-democratic leaders will wake up!

I'be been surprised by how little (like no) comment there has been on the
changes to the club competition rules. Most of them are all to the good,
but I'm perplexed by the change in the club area. The new rule, to go into
effect this coming November, says that, "Medium and unlimited clubs now may
define their club service area either as a 175-mile radius circle or as an
entire ARRL section. This change will allow clubs from larger states than
encompass entire ARRL sections to compete with each other. Clubs may select
one definition or the other but not both."
It seems to me that this change will have little, if any, practical effect.
In the densely populated areas, ARRL sections are smaller than the
175-mile circle, while out in the center of the country, clubs are drawing
their circles to encompass as many population centers as possible.
Sections typically are identical to states, and in many cases --up and down
the Mississippi/Missouri, for example -- population clusters tend to occur
in different states separated by rivers.
Do any of the contest clubs out in the Black Hole see any advantage to the
new rule? Meanwhile, in Florida, where Florida Contest Group's plight did
a lot to raise the issue in the first place, the new rule brings no relief
at all.

The answer is that they should just log it correctly and figure out what it
is later.
Discussions like this always occur and reveals these "mysteries" right after

Off the top of my head, the only ones I can see being helped, are the
good folks of Tennessee, since their 175-mile circle doesn't cover the
whole state ... but of course, the section definition would solve that
problem for them nicely.

Yes, we in Florida are painfully aware of this situation. A good
portion of our 175-mile circle covers water ... no matter where we put
it! With 3 ARRL sections in Florida, that doesn't help either ... we
have members in all three sections. I proposed something using Grid
Squares, but that didn't fly either.
If anyone can come up with a workable solution for EVERYONE ... I'm sure
we can arrange for you to become an "honorary Chad"!

Just LU/Argentina. The /H refers to the district, only /Z would potentially be
interesting (one of the VP8-equivalents). It's hard to get these right, but
Cabrillo won't care.

This is a non-issue with Cabrillo, since mults are not counted, and I think
we can count on the log checkers to know who and where TO4T is.

Hello Contesters,
here is a little list with signals strengths as written down last
weekend.
Rig was a TS870 and a ground mounted trap vertical (Fritzel GPA40).
QTH nr Munich/Germany.
Some remarks:
This year, there wasn't the usual big advantage of the New England Area.
Also stations from other parts of W/VE were strong.
Often signals strengths from the west coast follow this rule:
CA > OR > WA > VE7. This year that wasn't true, K7RI W7WA NK7U
had BIG signals on 15m. K9JF was very strong on 10m.
K9NS (every band) and K0DU (20m) were in line with the big guys from the
East. N6RO
strong as usual. W4ZV was strongest on 10m, followed by KR1G. W4ZV was
really
massive. There were also some good signals from the South, like N5YA and
KR5V.
In general, most of the stations were close together in strength.
15m was open at 3h in the morning local time. I could still hear some of
the
W7's calling CQ...
If you think your signal is not listed where it should be...
1. I worked a few guys who were obviously beaming elsewhere, because I
could hear
them working more UA0, YB etc.. than other Europeans.
2. I listened a few times to DL6RAI running stations. Those he worked
were between
S3 and S5 on average here. So if you are at S8: That's loud!

The important thing to remember about TO4T (and any others), is that you
don't have to know at the time that he's in Guadeloupe to get credit for the
multiplier. All electronic logs are re-run and scored against a common,
up-to-date country file, so it really doesn't matter how many multipliers
you claim, high or low; the log checkers will give you the right score.
In CT, if you type "TO4T=FG" during the contest the software will recognize
the multiplier correctly, but since the .cty file doesn't get changed I
never bother until after the contest.

We (the Tennessee Contest Group) have also been pushing this. It will
benefit us considerably. The geographic center of the state is
Murfreesboro. (which also happens to be home to a fair bit of contest
activity) Memphis is just about exactly 175 miles from Murfreesboro - as is
Knoxville. Some Memphis residents were eligible to compete with us, while
others weren't! Likewise in Knoxville. And the excellent ops in the
Tri-Cities area near Kingsport were out altogether, about 70 miles too far
east.
We could manipulate the circle to encompass both Nashville and the
Tri-Cities, but then West Tennessee would be out in the cold. We could move
the circle west to include Memphis, at the expense of tossing out Knoxville
and the Tri-Cities. Neither of these two areas has enough activity to
support a decent contest club of its own.
Switching to the new option will cost us a handful of participants in the
Huntsville, Alabama and southern Kentucky areas. (in ARRL contests - they
are still welcome to participate in CQ and NCJ tests) Still, it's a change
for the better for us.
-------------------------------------------
Florida probably did shoot themselves in the foot by creating WcF. (how do
you "un-create" a section?!) I can see some other sections possibly
benefitting from the change - notably artificially large sections like
Michigan and Ohio. It might also make possible the creation of worthwhile
contest clubs in very sparsely-populated areas of the West. The Wyoming
Contest Group may never be competitive, but at least a would-be contester in
Cody could submit his score for a club.
I can see the possibility of benefit for MWA (Minnesota) as well, though
there aren't a whole lot of contesters in the vicinity of Thief River
Falls<g>.
-------------------------------------------
I might suggest that Black Hole clubs (SMC, MRRC) developed the way they did
*because* of the rule. (and would have developed differently if it didn't
exist) Might all Wisconsin ops have joined a Wisconsin-based club if
Milwaukee and Eau Claire operators (W0AIH) could have participated in the
same group?

FG/TO4T...
I heard more than one person ask TO4T for their country on the air. That's
probably the right answer. It probably also taught them to use a FG call
next time!

Oven,
After several years of lurking, it would seem that this group is ripe
for an official amateur radio contesting FAQ to be created and maintained..
unless there is already such a beast that I missed. I haven't seen one
mentioned, but the need is apparent.
Speaking of FAQ's, I saw a message a few after this, about software not
liking the LU who was signing /H in his callsign. What does the CQWW
committee recommend on logging the following 'portable' extensions ?? There
was a reference to signing /QRP in this weeks OPDX bulletin.
xx#zzz/p
xx$zzz/qrp
xx$zzz/mm maritime mobile, and if so, do I need a region R# designator too
?
JA#xxx/# is a common one .. perhaps it is still a legal requirement in some
countries ??
as well as others that I can't recall at the moment <grin>. Would also like
to hear the ARRL opinion if it differs materially from CQ's.
btw, I heard a rumor that the LU signing the slash H was activating a rare
region of LU .. perhaps to promote some clubs groups award (?) ... but I
only vaguely recall hearing that implied in a qso he was in before I worked
him .. ! That was so many Q's ago <grin>

Rich, I do not believe that is correct. CT will write the update to the
country file "on the fly". If you find that is NOT the case, please let me

<20020304184341.YIZA11747.mtiwmhc23.worldnet.att.net@webmail.worldnet.att.net>
I suspect that French licensing officials have
determined that TO4 is a designate call for Guadeloupe.
The same as the FCC has determined the calls that are
appropriate for its territorial (or non-continental
states) entities. The updating of contest software to
keep up with such calls is a continuing process. There
is no need to suggest that this was a rules violation.
I am sure they were signing a call allocated to
Guadeloupe by the French licensing authorities.
Software will now be updated to include TO4 = FG with
the next revision.
It is very easy to take care of this during the contest
if you want your score readout to be correct. It used
to be that in CT you could type TO4 = FG and it would be
correct. I assume you can still do that. NA does not
accept =. What I do under the circumstances is to log
it each time as TO4T/FG and make a note to delete
the "/FG" with a text editor before submitting the
Cabrillo file. If you don't care that the cumulative
score in your computer may be wrong, you need to do
nothing. The Cabrillo file will be scored without
regard to what you think is a new country. As long as
the logcheckers have determined that TO4T = FG, it will
be scored that way without the need of any help from the
contestant.
Experienced contesters, particularly those with
directional antennas, should suspect that stations with
calls like TO4T that are loud and are coming in from the
direction of the Caribbean are actually in the
Caribbean. If your software doesn't recognize it, or
recognizes it only as France, your only alternative is
to ask (which I did on the first QSO).
I imagine that the operators of TO4T wanted a new prefix
more than they wanted instant country recognition.
Continued use of that prefix will bring more recognition.

Why don't we just figure the area of the 175 mile circle (let's see... pi r
squared ==~96000 sq miles), and allow any shaped figure.
My club borders will be 10 miles wide and 9600 miles long. It includes
CN8WW, EA8BH, ZD8Z, etc. :.)

We (the Tennessee Contest Group) have also been pushing this. It will
benefit us considerably. The geographic center of the state is
Murfreesboro. (which also happens to be home to a fair bit of contest
activity) Memphis is just about exactly 175 miles from Murfreesboro - as
is
Knoxville. Some Memphis residents were eligible to compete with us,
while
others weren't! Likewise in Knoxville. And the excellent ops in the
Tri-Cities area near Kingsport were out altogether, about 70 miles too
far
east.
We could manipulate the circle to encompass both Nashville and the
Tri-Cities, but then West Tennessee would be out in the cold. We
could move
the circle west to include Memphis, at the expense of tossing out
Knoxville
and the Tri-Cities. Neither of these two areas has enough activity to
support a decent contest club of its own.
Switching to the new option will cost us a handful of participants in the
Huntsville, Alabama and southern Kentucky areas. (in ARRL contests -
they
are still welcome to participate in CQ and NCJ tests) Still, it's a change
for the better for us.
-------------------------------------------
Florida probably did shoot themselves in the foot by creating WcF.
(how do
you "un-create" a section?!) I can see some other sections possibly
benefitting from the change - notably artificially large sections like
Michigan and Ohio. It might also make possible the creation of
worthwhile
contest clubs in very sparsely-populated areas of the West. The
Wyoming
Contest Group may never be competitive, but at least a would-be
contester in
Cody could submit his score for a club.
I can see the possibility of benefit for MWA (Minnesota) as well, though
there aren't a whole lot of contesters in the vicinity of Thief River
Falls<g>.
-------------------------------------------
I might suggest that Black Hole clubs (SMC, MRRC) developed the way
they did
*because* of the rule. (and would have developed differently if it didn't
exist) Might all Wisconsin ops have joined a Wisconsin-based club if
Milwaukee and Eau Claire operators (W0AIH) could have participated
in the
same group?

Merri has a good point. What about rule 6.1? ("6.1. Your call sign must
indicate your DXCC station location (KH6XYZ/W1 in Maine,
KG4/W1INF at
Guantanamo Bay, etc).") What is the official arbiter of what DXCC
entity a
callsign indicates? Really, technically, they should have been IDing as
FG/TO4T...
I heard more than one person ask TO4T for their country on the air.
That's
probably the right answer. It probably also taught them to use a FG call
next time!

Hi Dick,
LU /H is the Argentine state of Cordoba, north central part
of the country. Callsigns in Argentina show the state using
the letter following the number. See page 17-45 in the ARRL
Operating manual for a map and listing.

I hate it when I misspeak. Maybe can be blamed on lack of sleep due to ARRL
DX?
*My QTH* is equidistant from Memphis & Knoxville. The TCG club center in
Murfreesboro isn't - the map and Jay's commetns are accurate.

The casual contester will be pleasantly surprised to find that
their score has been increased rather than decreased as a
result of the UBN log checking process. That is the process
that establishes what is a multiplier and where it gets counted.
The score listed on the cabrillo entry does not mean anything
as, as I understand it, scores are computed in the checking
process.

Well, I'm fairly embarrassed. I wrote my preceding message based on
information I looked up on the USPS web site last week. When I actually
went into the post office today, I found out that all the rates had
increased (presumably March 1). 16 oz or less to Western European
countries is now $3.80, vs $3.20. To Eastern Europe and Russia, it is
$4.95, but Japan remains unchanged at $4.05.
This means that the crossover points at which it makes sense to send
direct, rather than through the ARRL bureau, are considerably higher. For
Western Europe, it is up to around 7-8 ounces, while for Eastern Europe it
is at least 10 ounces. Japan remains unchanged at 8-9 ounces. Sorry if I
misled anyone, but I wasn't expecting a price increase, particularly not
one of this magnitude!
One further refinement. Savings are maximized at a pound per direct
shipment. If you have, for example, 20 ounces to send to one Western
European bureau, your optimum strategy would be to send 16 oz direct and 4
oz via the ARRL, yielding a total cost of $5.80 plus a little domestic
postage. If you split the 20 oz into two direct shipments, you pay $7.60.
When your total to one destination reaches 23-24 oz, it makes sense again
to send both via international mail.

Message-ID: <02f401c1c407$f562e9c0$62f1a118@tampabay.rr.com>
Probably because you guys simply turn your beams South to work Florida you
do not realize how "tall" Florida is North to South...it is NOT a small
state, when I lived near Miami and drove to the Northeast the hurdle was
getting out of Florida - once you got out at least there were state lines in
the near future! Because we are not recognized as being as big as we are,
comments like this one from W9WI are fairly typical:
"Florida probably did shoot themselves in the foot by creating WcF."
The reason for the creation of the WCF section was due to ARRL officers who
were either North FL based (Jacksonville) or South Florida based (Miami) not
being able to have good communication with the hams in the central part of
the state - it is a four and a half plus hour drive from my QTH near Tampa
to Miami, and that is with a heavy foot!
Tampa, the heart of the WCF section was just too far from SFL for appointed
officials who lived in the Miami area to be able to do it justice...it
needed its own section - just wish you guys would learn it
Whiskey Charlie Fox
West Central Florida
WCF
....its been over two years now guys!
As far as ARRL affiliated club turf...I question whether or not the TCG
realizes that the new rules are "either/or", but not both, the radius or the
section. I know there were a lot of TCG members NOT in Tennessee...if they
adopt the Section version of the new rules then these guys (mostly KY hams I
think) are going to be without a club.
Our situation in Florida is a very unique one since we are a
peninsula...unfortunately since the infamous circle is much wider than the
state is. A large portion of any circle drawn within Florida results in
roughly a third of that area being in either the Atlantic or the Gulf of
Mexico.
This is a shame, especially since there is an active contester population in
the panhandle of Florida....to accommodate these hams our club developed an
FCG Panhandle Club - just for times when we must compete in ARRL events and
their scores are NOT allowed to be grouped with the rest of ours. This is a
shame, within our own state we have like minded hams who cannot compete side
by side with us.
The ARRL's new guidelines with the either/or option for club turf will
probably not cause a big difference for anyone other than the TCG who now
can have all Tennesseeans (but will have to forsake previous contributions
by others out of state who previously were joined with them).
Until someone in Florida can come up with an easy way for the ARRL to
calculate land area for use in club territory definitions I guess we will
just have to get ready for the
FLORIDA QSO PARTY! Its only 54 days away!
Please help Florida contesters get over our disappointment at the club
restructuring dilemna's resolution by working us in the FQP.
Hams from all walks of life, even Dentists, enjoy the FQP. Florida works
the world and you work us on 10 through 40 meters!
Check out the full details at the FQP website - where you can also sign up
for the FQP re-mailer to keep you up to speed on this years FQP April 27/28!
Go to the FQP website at:
http://www.qsl.net/fqp
Stats/Records, etc can be found there...the FQP is a QSO Party run by
contesters, the results are meticulously tabulated by current WRTC 2 time
co-champion K1TO and you are assured of fast paced snappy contest
exchanges...including our mobile teams who will attempt to activate all 67
of Florida's counties once again!
Join us, it is a fun contest! Not a BORING one.

How do you enter a power of 50mW so the log checking software knows what
you mean???
Life's too short for QRP!

AB0MV asked how the casual contester is to know where a TO# call is.
Good question. You can't. They're French. After SECAM & yellow
headlamps, TO4T being in FG is to be expected - northern hemisphere,
southern hemisphere, this ocean & that ocean, I believe this makes the
third TO call I've seen in recent times & I've yet to figure it out.
WFWL & always log what the other station sends & not what you think
your logging program needs to see.

G4ELJ gave me 100 milliwatts but said "001". I told him
I was logging it as "0R1". For any non-CW types, "R" is the
code for decimal point...as in "3R5 MHZ" for 3.5 MHz. So I
would use "R05" for 50 milliwatts. Don't know if this is
totally acceptable but I've used it before with no problems
that I recall.

This has been the summary from ****. Due to my own errors
I keep messing up the data. So far, I've managed to drop
the most significant digit on mults and band data.
I think I've been through every post three times now.
Yuck! Thanks for your patience.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Perhaps I'll be disqualified?
Message-ID: <005701c1c508$6b5494c0$e5a5fea9@dell>
I have a token entry for ARRL DX SSB - just 30 QSOs on 10m.
I didn't call CQ, but called W/VE stations directly and
received 59/State from everyone. My response, for every one
of the 30 QSOs, was "Thanks, one hundred."
No-one queried this or asked for a signal report. They just
kept right on going. Why? Because they're contesters, and
they had all the information they needed.
RS(T) doesn't matter because -
(1) It's already entered as 59(9) by the logging software.
(2) It is not cross-checked.
(3) It has no meaning, significance or value in contests.
(4) It is not needed on QSLs for any ARRL award.
Anyway, I broke the rules and probably gained an unfair
advantage, so perhaps I'll be disqualified?
If not, it's likely you'll not hear 59(9) from me again in
major contests. As some Summary Sheets say - "Unless
otherwise indicated, all reports were 59(9)".

Hi Gang
I would appreciate your comments on the next topic for my Contest Tips,
Tricks & Techniques column. Please reply directly and be sure your call
sign is in your response. Please reply by March 8. Thanks!
Station and operating changes as the sunspots decline
Most predictions for the current sunspot cycle suggested we would be on our
way down, but the double peak has given us a reprieve. We are living on
borrowed time and all too soon we will be on the downward slope. What
station plans do you plan to make to be more in tune to future conditions?
When do you plan to make these changes? What contests will you operate that
you avoided during the sunspot peak? Conversely, what contests will you
stop operating as solar conditions deteriorate? Will you operate fewer
contests in the next few years because of conditions?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] CQ Istanbul: March 17-27
Message-ID: <06030265.23229@webbox.com>
I'll be in Istanbul for the ITU World Telecommunications Development
Conference that runs from March 17-27.
I'd love to get together with other contesters in the area and
those who are coming in for the Conference.
I've heard that the Turkish IARU society will be operating a
special event station, but don't know any details.
If you're interested in gathering, please send me me contact
information.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] SO2R Operating Desk Resource
Message-ID: <NABBJJMHMOJDAICFPIFDOENCEBAA.jmaass@columbus.rr.com>
Last week, I put my SO2R operating desk planning diagrams on the
web for comment, and inquired for people to send photos of their
SO2R stations.
I found or received 18 station photographs, and have them displayed
on the page for reference, with links to their home pages, if available.
If you know of another photo on the web that people might find
interesting in planning their operating position, send the URL to me,
and I'll add it to the page.

A question for all of us, since I have detected some rumblings about
certain people being spotted more than others etc in the last couple
of contests.
I was doing my normal S&P during the ARRL DX SSB and was asked
by some European DX stations if I had access to the internet -
in order to spot them.
I said no, since I actually don't have the net hooked up to my
ham radio computer...
But I felt it raised an interesting question - if that station is running
unassisted - is that possibly a rules violation in that category?
I assume I wasn't the first or the last person asked to do that.

It is a rules violation even if they are in a catagory
that allows assistance.

Good question. You can't. They're French. After SECAM & yellow

southern hemisphere, this ocean & that ocean, I believe this makes the
third TO call I've seen in recent times & I've yet to figure it out.
WFWL & always log what the other station sends & not what you think

I was logging it as "0R1". For any non-CW types, "R" is the

would use "R05" for 50 milliwatts. Don't know if this is

After having been 'temporarily' QRT for 20 years until a year ago, I
had not kept up with these new innovations in ham radio like
DX-clusters, spotting, logging software w/ electronic keying, etc. Thus
the contesting experience now is quite different from what it used to
be in late 70's...
Until the CQWW CW contest last fall I had not taken an interest in
finding out what clusters did in conection with contesting (I had
understood it was used in 'normal' operation to make fellow hams aware
of interesting DX station activity).
Running 100W with a vertical dipole (Force12 Sigma5 - excellent stuff),
I am basically an S&P contester. However, once and a while on an open
10 meters band it is tempting to act like the 'big shots'; find a free
spot and call CQ contest.
Normally, with some hard work and patience I manage to pull in a few US
callers this way. In one of my few attempts on keeping a frequency
this way in the named CQWW CW contest, I suddenly had a massive wall of
callers - whow - what an experience. I had fun for as long as it
lasted, but it died out after a while. At the time I thought it was
purely due to good luck and a relatively strong signal over there for a
moment in time.
After the contest I started wondering what actually could have caused
this momentary rush to contact me. Aha, maybe clusters could have
something to do with it? I made a 'spot archive lookup' on the
DX-central. And right enough, there was my call listed (by W3LPL I
think it was - thanks by the way) just at the time when I had the
momentary 140 QSO's per hour run.
Enough said; but my point is that it had a tremendous effect on my QSO
rate - from some 30-40/hour in 'S&P mode' to 140/hour in 'spotted
mode'. I just can imagine how stations begging to be spotted can
enhance their score and outperform their competition by egoistic
rudeless active use of sharp elbows.

This doesn't go nearly far enough, IMHO. Yes, that's the way the rule is
written today, but I think we need to find a way to tighten up on this
considerably, else our contest games will (have?) degenerate into nothing
but a beauty contest.
Let's look at some possibilities which skate past this wording, but which I
think defy the intent of the rule and cause enormous damage to the integrity
of the game:
"Hey Bill, I'm going for a new record this coming weekend, and I really need
your help. Spot me early and spot me often...drum me up like you've never
done before!"
"OK, club members, let's put this club on the map. I'm going for a record
this weekend, and I need you ALL to spot me early and spot me often."
Get my drift? I'm not saying this has happened, though I'm seriously
wondering. I do think it's legal, per the rules, but I also think this kind
of stuff stinks. In the best of all worlds, cluster systems would die of
their own accord because people would come to understand the damage they are
doing to our hobby and decide they don't need a crutch. Failing that,
though, I do think we need to work toward some kind of system which would
defeat the kinds of attempts to defeat the system I mentioned above. We
could never get all the local clusters to shut down during contests, but
there are just a few key connection points which could be disabled if we all
could come to a consensus on this. Else, as I'm said, we're running a
beauty contest. And I don't think I'm up to competing in that kind of a
game!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] An ounce of prevention...
Message-ID: <cmb6nufi2p4ckh1.070320021511@designet-jsi>
While not everything was perfect for us during last weekends ARRL DX SSB
Contest, one thing went extremely well. Here's the story...
We were a casual M/2 operation. On Sunday morning, I was operating 10m and W1VE
was on the 15m station. We were running like crazy. Suddenly, there was a power
glitch in the house. The Acom amps turned off. All the digital clocks in the
house were blinking. The refrigerator went through its self-test sequence.
Except for having to restart the Acom amps, the entire contest station -
radios, computers, accessories - stayed on-the-air . We didn't miss a beat.
Why? A few months ago, after some disastrous brushes with lightning, one of the
protective measures I took was to buy a used 2kVA UPS on eBay. The unit powers
EVERY 110vac device in my office/shack. The UPS sustained the power to
everything through the glitch - eliminating what would have been, at a minimum,
a costly 30+ minute recovery process to get all the computers, logs and radios
back on-the-air. And, it could have been a lot worse than that! ["Excuse me,
ZF2MM, we had a little power failure up here. May I please have my frequency
back?" I don't think so.]
Needless to say, I highly recommend a UPS for the well-prepared contester's
shack!

Dear Howie,
Don't worry about the milliwatt. Yes, the logging programs roll it to 1
(for 1 watt). The robot will work it out.
There seems to be confusion regarding the 1000 watt indentifier as well.
Using the common k, kw, 1k, 1000 will all work. As far as the RST it must
be 59 or 599 (no abbreviations).
Hope that answers your question. Thank you for your email.

Hi Dan-
I might as well get the answer on this for next year..
A few qrp'ers gave us their milliwatts. Being an impatient soul, I quickly
logged as 1.
Technically, they should be logged as 0.1, 0.5, whatever.
How would you like us to log these (*&^%*& folks ?
73, Howie

What Guys said is accurate (of course). On the TRLog reflector Tree said
that the log chk program would convert all K and KWs to 1000 and then
proceed. I have no idea what is to be done with the 100mw entries we
occasionally got. 73.

Operator A goes to US multi op station. He works 30 hours and goes home.
Operator A gets on from home and spots multi op station he just left on
packet.
Operator A does this repeatedly on more than one band knowing full well the
spots are being populated to a global packet network.
Anyone besides me have a problem with that?
If so, what penalties, if any, are appropriate?

No. Not at all. When you are at home, you are no longer a part of the multi
operation. If you were still at the station & doing this, it is indeed
unethical.
But, then again, how do you control this? Can't.
As far as announcing operations in advance. What is the problem? Should it be
a secret? Nah. Should a station ask to be spotted, and often? Well, dunno.
Not really. But, again, how is it regulated? But, then again, why not?? As
long as it is PRIOR to the contest & not during it.

K5TR -
All I can say is very interesting research. I'm sure that
will spawn a lot of debate...and maybe others should
do a search as well....because...
I just ran a search on the DX-SUMMIT spot database and
found something very interesting as well....a spot from the
contest under MY call - looking like I posted YP3A -
the problem is, I didn't spot anyone during the contest,
because I'm not connected to the net at my ham computer.
NS3T 21246.5 YP3A YO2010 02 Mar 2002
That means "someone else" spotted YP3A - trying to
make it look like I did...probably trying to attract
some attention and extra QSO's.
I certainly can't prove that it was someone at YP3A, but
someone faked a spot by me - unethical and obviously
rather illegal.
That is unfortunate. I am sure it happened to others.

Hi George:
I didn't want to let this go by without comment. As one of the 40 meter
operators at W3LPL for the ARRL DX SSB contest, I made some of the spots
that you have listed.
Workload permitting, I will spot EVERY G3, DL5, ZF2, JA, etc., that I find
tuning the band. I certainly made no special effort to spot (or not to
spot) ZF2MM. Just another dupe! :-)

========================>
I have always tried to use mimicry and parrot repeats with an attempt to
show others how ridiculous they might actually be, in and on many platforms
of life.
As but example, I also posted for ZF2MM in the ARRL SSB test..... but look
at what my note was in that post.............. I was trying to arouse (
land to see how stupid their posts were becoming.
Those repeated 9 land posts for ZF2MM were more like a Jerry Lewis telethon
money begs than meaningful contributions to the performance of their fellow
contesters.
I, for one, resent being herded to a QSO like a fish to a net.
I like to think I herd more like a cat.
I have always used quotations and acts of blatantly dumb mimicry in the
hope that I might appear or sound so foolish as to bring others within reason.
IF I POST MYSELF IN A CONTEST ............ I WANT OTHERS TO SEE IT.
I WANT IT NOT LIKED.
I WANT OTHERS TO REALIZE IT IS WRONG AND STUPID.
And in consideration of same ,,,,,,,,,,,,, I do not send in my score on
contests where I do such acts.
For the 160 contest, and for ARRL SSB, my logs will ONLY serve as check logs.
I will always hope that others laughing with me (even "at" me if that is
what it takes) might arouse others to a deeper questioning of themselves
and their actions.
BTW, so as to better support your understanding of what I sometimes do.....
Have you ever heard 160 down here at 2100 ZULU ???
About the only thing I could have done to attempt to be more ridiculous
would have been to post myself at high noon.
As I recall, I posted myself as being on 160 during the ARRL SSB test, as well.
I believe I did my self post around noon time Texas time. Duh !?
You know, Ham radio and contesting IS JUST A HOBBY !
IT IS CERTAINLY TO BE ENJOYED.
Radio and contesting is certainly NOT to be a platform for cheating others
of their enjoyment.
Fine performances results in contests should be performance of high
standard, not necessarily performances of high scores.

Message-ID: <puxs341m0act3nz.080320020911@designet-jsi>
Since so many people have responded privately with questions, I thought I would
share some additional information with everyone.
How much capacity do I need in my UPS?
You need to know how much power will be drawn when the unit kickc in and the
length of time you want the mains voltage to be available to the equipment. APC
provides a calculator to help you figure this out
[http://www.apc.com/template/size/apc/].
What else should I look for in UPS features?
The only other thing that's nice is the "unattended server shutdown" feature.
This is a piece of software on your computer that connects to the UPS over a
serial port, and detects when the UPS has gone active. It then gracefully shuts
down the computer. Some UPSs and their software can handle multiple computers.
This is great if you are away from the shack when the power fails.
What companies sell these things?
APC www.apc.com
Tripplite
How much should I pay for a UPS?
As much as you want. You can buy low-power units at Wallmart or Costco or BJ's
for under $100. I bought a used commercial unit APC Smart UPS 2200 RM3U on ebay
[www.ebay.com] for $600. This unit is a 2200VA rack-mount system. You can pay a
lot more for more power. There are all kinds of deals on ebay. Enter "APC UPS"
in the search engine. The only thing you need to watch out for is whether the
batteries are dead. All you can do on ebay is ask specifically and trust the
seller. On the other hand, there is a strong secondary market for good
batteries. This is because some safety regulations actually require scheduled
battery replacement - whether the batteries are good or bad.
That's about all I know!

RE: An ounce of prevention...
While not everything was perfect for us during last weekends ARRL DX SSB
Contest, one thing went extremely well. Here's the story...
We were a casual M/2 operation. On Sunday morning, I was operating 10m and W1VE
was on the 15m station. We were running like crazy. Suddenly, there was a power
glitch in the house. The Acom amps turned off. All the digital clocks in the
house were blinking. The refrigerator went through its self-test sequence.
Except for having to restart the Acom amps, the entire contest station -
radios, computers, accessories - stayed on-the-air . We didn't miss a beat.
Why? A few months ago, after some disastrous brushes with lightning, one of the
protective measures I took was to buy a used 2kVA UPS on eBay. The unit powers
EVERY 110vac device in my office/shack. The UPS sustained the power to
everything through the glitch - eliminating what would have been, at a minimum,
a costly 30+ minute recovery process to get all the computers, logs and radios
back on-the-air. And, it could have been a lot worse than that! ["Excuse me,
ZF2MM, we had a little power failure up here. May I please have my frequency
back?" I don't think so.]
Needless to say, I highly recommend a UPS for the well-prepared contester's
shack!

I don't know if that's a violation of the letter of the rules, but certainly
it's a violation of the spirit, as in "good operating practice." If it's
real persistant, then it may need to be addressed.
On the same line, I had a bunch of EU station (and not neccesarily "rare"
ones) ask me to spot them during the contest. In each case, I declined and
asked them if that wasn't a rules violation. A few said "sorry," a few said
"I don't know, I didn't read the rules" and just about all asked the next
station or asked me again on another band. (And it is a rules infraction, I
checked).

Operator A goes to US multi op station. He works 30 hours and goes home.
Operator A gets on from home and spots multi op station he just left on
packet.
Operator A does this repeatedly on more than one band knowing full well the
spots are being populated to a global packet network.
Anyone besides me have a problem with that?
If so, what penalties, if any, are appropriate?

In amongst today's mail was my first "QSL" from the ARRL DX Phone -- an OO
notice complaining about my contact with one of the Italian 2x1's -- an Out
of Band violation, to be specific. Now, interestingly enough, it doesn't
say what frequency I was allegedly on, but informed me that on 20 I should
stay below 14.347 (which I thought I had). Even more interesting, the
entire form and most of the information EXCEPT for my call, the DX call, &
the time of the infraction was filled out in advance and photocopied.
My point here is not per se to berate the OO. My point is that we must all
watch the band edges in contests, as there are obviously people prepared,
eager, and ready with the OO forms. Maybe just a little too prepared to my
tastes.

It was pointed out to me that I listed the spots twice
in this message:
http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/2002-March/046632.html
This was an error - if you look at the list you will notice
that the first half of the list is sorted by the number of
spots posted by a spotter. Then I also have the raw unsorted
list of spots in date/time order. I did not mean to
include the date/time order list.

Of course, what *may* have happened is that the
OO heard so many problematic QSOs above 14.347
that he/she prepared the forms to cut down on the
time required to fill them out. Even OOs like to have

Working split on 40, I blasted a local QSO (no, I didn't listen first!! No

When they announced on the DX freq (below 7100 on SSB) what I had just done,

Hmmmm. So let me get this right. You are now supposed to keep all future
operations in a contest secret?
You can't tell your fellow club members to get on & make a Q with you, prior to
the event?? C'mon guys, get real!
I find it VERY refreshing that a CONTEST club rallies around a fellow member
that is CONTESTING! You know what? If you take away a certain N9 station's
spots for ZF2MM, whats the problem? Are we now limited to spotting only weak
stations? Or rare stations? Or stations not spotted yet?
Sounds like sour grapes a little bit! I wasn't asked to spot ZF2MM, by ZF2MM,
DURING the contest. I heard him on. I spotted him. Am I bad guy for doing
this????? NOT!

I agree that the list provided by K5TR ( see
http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/cq-contest/2002-March/046632.html )
was extreme and some people were aggressive in spotting ZF2MM. But didn't
everyone in the contest benefit from Paul's marketing before the contest,
and from the spots? Consider the following:
Maybe a VY0, who had no intention of getting on, got on because Paul asked
him to. Maybe the VY0 worked a few other stations as well. Aren't those
DX stations glad Paul did some pre-contest marketing? Maybe a DX station
saw spots for the VY0, needed it for a new prefix, and decided to stick
around and work a few more US/VE stations. Maybe it was a new multiplier
for you, and the only one you worked in the contest. Aren't you glad Paul
did some pre-contest marketing?
I know that's a lot of "maybe's", but who knows how this would have all
worked out. Maybe the VY0 and the DX station would have been on anyway.
It seems like every month this reflector is fraught with complaints about
how contest ranks are dwindling and we need more activity. Last month the
"topic-du-jour" was the ARRL contemplating removal of contest scores from
QST. Doesn't Paul's pre-contest marketing help promote the ARRL DX
contest, and contesting in general? Maybe if there were more people
participating in the ARRL contests, looking for their call in print, the
ARRL would continue publishing scores in QST? Some people complain that we
need more activity, some people complain when we promote contesting, some
people just like to complain, some people complain because they have
nothing to complain about.
I don't know if there was a VY0 on last weekend or not. I didn't check
DX-Summit. I just made that up.

There is something that hasn't been addressed. Be sure
that the UPS is always in the circuit, not one that gets
switched in when AC mains fail. That would be OK for
lights, but not computers. Working in TV (2 stations)
corporate and local management do not want any failures, we
are putting a bunch of smaller ones in to cover us while we
plan the one that will be housed in a separate building to
power our whole tech center and all the computer network

Pre-contest publicity is allowable. Friends aggressively spotting a
station during the contest is an entirely different matter. Any evidence
ZF2MM requested this, no. Should this be encouraged, no.
Paul, K9PG, is a great operator. He doesn't need this "help" from the
peanut gallery.
What if many members of a large club decide that since one of them is
going to be in CQWW and wants to win for the World , then the members
will get on and work that station. No problem.
However, what if there is an agreement that all the members will spot
that station during the contest?
Does it not create a beast called single operator assisted ?

I think this is pretty much the design standard, at least for small
self-contained UPSes.
There are some amazing deals out there from time to time -- I got a new 300
VA APC UPS for $10 from Staples after a mail-in rebate. It's not enough to
power everything computer related in the shack, but it supports my CPU
quite nicely. Since installing it, I've never had an outage of more than
about 2 seconds, but I've had hundreds of the little glitches and dips that
would have caused my computer to reset otherwise. It's very pleasing to
hear the UPS beeeeep and know that I've just dodged another bullet,
especially in the middle of a good run.

Italians are loud in the U.S. not because they use excessive power, but they
have good antennas with big rotors. (that is why they need 3 phase power for
the shack. I am in the process to order one of the better Italian antennas

Maybe I'm missing something guys & gals but if you're turned off by
packet, why do you use it during a contest? I see this thread time after
time yet, some people continue to use packet and complain about how bad it
is.
Contesting for most of us is about having a good time. If packet is
diminishing your enjoyment or it's pushing you to the point of mocking
others who use it, you might want to consider turning it off for a change.

This is a good question and I do know the answer.
My gut feeling is that any marketing done is usually done
with the intention to help the person doing the marketing.
I was prompted to post the list of ZF2MM packet spots after
Bruce (ZF2NT) posted this message to CQ Contest:
http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/2002-March/046626.html
I found this message very interesting for two reasons.
1. I agree with his concerns.
2. ZF2MM was operating from ZF2NT's station.
Bruce brings up what I think are very valid concerns and
he goes on to give some examples. If you have not read his
post please do so now.
The point that Bruce brings up is, do we want contests to
be about operating or do we want them to be about
(as VE3FU calls it) marketing?
I have gotten some email since I posted the list of packet
spots. A few people say "DQ ZF2MM", some say big deal
he got some friends to spot him and others are upset because
their call is on the list.
I do not think that ZF2MM should be DQed.
I do think we (the contesting community) should discuss
how we feel about the "marketing" of contests. This was
not the first time and I am sure it will not be the last time
that someone feels the need to do this in order to make a
good score in a contest.
I am not sure that the increased packet spots helped ZF2MM's
score much (I could be wrong) and it is possilbe that they
might have even hurt it by turing some folks off to working him.
The real issue goes beyond the ZF2MM effort and it is
what Bruce talks about in his message, do we want
contesting to come down to some sort of "beauty contest"?
My answer to this is, No.
The contest should be about operating during the contest.
It should *not* be about:
- How many skeds you can make with mults before the contest.
- How many emails you can send to folks.
- How many times you get spotted on packet.
- How many unique "buddy" contacts you can make.
- How many T-shirts you can send to folks.
- How many banner ads you can buy on some web site.
Do we want the contest to be defined or have the outcome
altered by any of the above?
I know that I don't.
I operate contests because I find them fun. I enjoy the challenge
provided by the bands, from within myself and from fellow contesters.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Spotting
Message-ID: <3C8A1C6D.68E8@erols.com>
IMHO,
Spotting/announcing done outside the actual 'contest period' seems like it
would not
fall afoul of the rules in any context or intent, but could be construed as a
bother or
a bit 'much' based on the quantity and type of 'spot' provided. Too much of a
good
thing is not good! HI!
I don't think anyone will argue that repetitive spotting during a contest
period is a
bad thing, especially if different stations do it at random (unscheduled or
unplanned) times within a given period. Those kinds of repetitive spots are not
bad even
if they appear fairly closely spaced in time. New stations are coming to the
clusters
all the time and what's 'old' to me may be a new mult to them.
For example - W3LPL spots a station at 1524Z. I'm running stations and not
paying close
attention to the spots. The screen scrolls quickly (as it often does) and LPL's
spot
disappears off the screen. Then I do S&P and at 1538 I tune across the same
station as
previously spotted by LPL, I don't need 'em so it wasn't on my list of avaiable
mults/calls so I don't know it's already been spotted, but someone else might
so I spot
'em. If you have already worked 'em he won't show.. if not. he will.
Likewise, as others come across the same station they might spot 'em at fairly
close
intervals. This is repetitive, but usually it's just the spot without the
repetitive
'cheerleading comments' that are usually appended to the repetitive spotting
being
disucssed such as with the ZF2MM example.
Repetitive spotting by different stations at closely spaced times does not seem
to be a
problem with anyone. What bugs people (me included) is the same station(s)
doing
specific stations over and over and over and over. Couple this with the
comments and
they are OBVIOUSLY trying to attract attention to teh station for some reason.
One COULD intimate that the spotter is a shill for the station and has
prearranged to
act as the contest spotter for that station. This would appear to be the case
with the
ZF2MM example given and many (myself included) would have valid concerns that
this is
nothing more than a dodge used to (technically) avoid running afoul of the ARRL
rule
that clearly prohibits stations from either asking to be spotted or stations
self-spotting themselves during the contest.
Yes, it can be argued that ZF2MM was not *TECHNICALLY SPEAKING* (during the
contest
period) - asking for, nor self-spotting himself. But the context of the
comments and the
repetitive nature of spotting by one or two stations makes it abundantly clear
that such
can be legitimately construed as the reason for all the spots since it appears
quite
likely that it was a Club member at ZF2MM and a Club member doing the spotting.
Even if
not so... there is a definite odor to the effort that raises eyebrows and
raises questions about conflicts of interest and the like.
Perhaps the basic action in this case would be for stations to apply the
well-understood
premise that the 'spirit and intent' of the rule be observed rather than the
'strict
letter or the law' which normally applies.
As for the station who works at a M/M then goes home and spots the station they
just
operated from, technically, again, not a violation, IMHO, but does raise an
odor and
questions. ONe thing I've learned about M/M's .. they usually find themselves
being
spotted quite a bit, regardless, based upon the nature of being a M/M and being
on the
air on many bands for a L O N G period of the contest.

Might be something to think about here.
8P5A should have known ahead of time he didn't have a chance against ZF2MM.
The 9 land herding spots just insured this probability.
If you're not on packet, then you shouldn't let it bother you that
activities such as this go on.

He probably would have had to have pre-printed notices to cover everyone
caught transmitting above 14.347. Heck, I would have needed them to cover
everyone *I* heard up there while S&Ping around the band!
We're not talking about 14347.2 either. (which might arguably be OK if you
trust your 2.1KHz filter to properly scrub your transmitted signal) We're
talking about well above 348. Some, above 350.
Seems the offending CQers were just about always DX, but that doesn't make
it any more legal for the W's who answer...

Al is right on target with this issue.
Such pre-arrangements are not "legal".
Pre-arranging for this type of "assistance" crosses the line into
"multi-operator" area. As most of these other operators are not physically
at the subject station, even this is a violation of the rules.
If they are somehow considered part of a multi-operator or assisted
station's operation (although remote, and ignoring the above for a moment),
self-spotting is also prohibited.
All of this type of activity extends the number of operators and geographic
spread of these operations. There's nothing in the rules to permit it.

Nor the bad press I would imagine.

Message-ID: <166.a107927.29bb853b@aol.com>
The reason everyone is perplexed by the Italian wattages is that they are
omitting the conversion factor. Italians use Lirawatts rather than standard
watts as defined in the MKS system of measure !
The Lirawatt is somewhat hard to define in absolute terms, since to
accurately measure it you have to go "behind the curtain" where access is
rarely granted.
Our researchers at the National Bureau of Standards have indicated that the
Lirawatt is roughly equivalent to 10 to 15 watts as defined by the NBS.

A similar situation on 15m. I was involved in one where the DX was actually
listening up out of the band! I wasn't paying close enough attention but
geez I had a lot of company up there. In any case, better from the OO than

Try listening just above the band edge during a contest and you will quickly
realize why the OO has to have the form preprinted except for the call,
etc., in order to even hope of keeping up with the violators...

Subject: [CQ-Contest] UPS Standby vs Online
Message-ID: <000f01c1c7b4$4bf9fe40$1b494140@delta>
Please forgive me if my information is dated. However, I believe
this is still true. Please forgive me if I am not entirely accurate as
I've not re-investigated this in recent years when APC took over
the small "UPS/SPS" market by storm.
Since at least the early 80's UPS were basically of three
types (we'll leave out the motor generator types from years before):
The truly "online" types like SOLA sold. The "switching" types of
which most if not all APC units (at least the small ones) are and
one novel design that I first saw from Unison (later purchased by
Tripplite).
The Sola's used ferro-resonant transformers and capacitors to
regulate and store energy. It has been too many years and I don't
recall all specifics but basically the transformer would accommodate
voltage swings of 20%...all the time if necessary. This would help in
instances of deep prolonged brownouts and poor voltage supply in
general. All without tapping its batteries. The online UPS continuously
charges batteries where power is drawn from and inverted to a poor
to reasonable facsimile of an AC sine wave. So if the power goes out
you are just losing your battery charger. Power continues to be drawn
from the batteries. "No Break", as they were commonly referred to.
Topaz used rapid "tap switching" on their special transformers
to simulate the ferro-resonant action. Thus Sola, Topaz and others
also had voltage regulators without deep brownout or blackout
protection.
At that time the ability to "switch" in power from a battery source
within a few cycles or fractions thereof was not available (I presume).
Thus computers (perhaps the pickiest devices) needed true online
power supplies. Later, adequate "invisible" switching was possible
and companies like APC (American Power Conversion) based
their designs on that. This reduced the parts count and other
undesirable things like the relative inefficiency of the FR transformer
with its associated heat generation and tendency to have very
noisy windings (both part and parcel of the way it works).
Thus "Standby Power Supplies" or SPS's were born, which
technically most of the advertised UPS's are.
The disadvantage of SPS's are that they cannot correct for deep
brownouts or continuous low voltage (to a degree) or overvoltage.
They are relying on passive MOV (Metal Oxide Varistors) and
other such things to take out surges. They rely on switching
in and out (repeatedly if necessary) the battery supply for continuing
low voltage. Perhaps okay for our application but I hope you can
turn off the "alarm beeps" or have good headphones or "head-CW
filters"... :-)
The current SPS's are fine for most applications today but not in
all situations. I have seen some discussion about even using them
on linear amplifiers. The main point of contention being whether
there is a sufficient lag where the amplifier (or transmitter) power
supplies cannot ride through without affecting instantaneous peak
demands by modulation. Perhaps a moot point for all but the
"max power" or signal purists :-).
The third type, which I don't know if Tripplite still employs in
some or all of their designs, looked like a "T" configuration where
they used batteries in series up to 120VDC (or was it half that?)
and used the same circuit to charge them as well as invert to AC
when needed. Still truly uninterruptible (so they claimed) as
opposed to standby switched but with a lesser part count and
attendant complexity. Maybe achieving better reliability and cost.
So the moral is to understand your true power and (surge) load
situation. Then before you select a solution see if the kind you
select will really do the job. I have used all three with success.
Also, understand whether your loads will tolerate the often less
than perfect sine wave that some UPS produce. A good article I
saw years ago had oscilloscope pictures of the various "pseudo
sine waves" the tested units produced. Quite alarming. I hope
they have improved since then.
Please pardon the bandwidth and degree of "off topic" but
I hope this helps some understand the differences.
Oh, and motor generator types were mostly used in backing
up large main frame computer systems. Large, massive
wheel-type mechanical energy storage (then converted to
electricity) devices have been around for years before.

I think this is pretty much the design standard, at least for small
self-contained UPSes.
There are some amazing deals out there from time to time -- I got a new 300
VA APC UPS for $10 from Staples after a mail-in rebate. It's not enough to
power everything computer related in the shack, but it supports my CPU
quite nicely. Since installing it, I've never had an outage of more than
about 2 seconds, but I've had hundreds of the little glitches and dips that
would have caused my computer to reset otherwise. It's very pleasing to
hear the UPS beeeeep and know that I've just dodged another bullet,
especially in the middle of a good run.

Steve, you are right. OOs send out "OFFICIAL OBSERVER ADVISORY NOTICE".
W2CC, must been sitting on S51CK's frequency and copied calls of stations
worked him in the contest. According to David, (S51CK & KE1F, me) was
transmitting on 14349.31, our sideband was out of the band. My logging
program did not know that.
Gee, could someone tell me what is a legal way to inform S51CK that he was
too close to band edge?

Message-ID: <002901c1c7b8$97054760$13b94618@wp.shawcable.net>
Hi,
It would seem to me that a few rules speak to this issue:
The first is the reference to station location and the requirement that all
equipment, including antennas, be located on the station owner's property or
within a 500-foot radius, whichever is greater.
If you participate in activities for the benefit of your M/M effort from
your home either as part of a M/M team or as a friend of an operator in the
Caribbean (different residence than station), is this rule not then being
violated?
Another is the rule that in various forms essentially says that an operator
can use only one call for the contest. Now, in fairness, I think this rule
is applied according to situation: in other words an operator who leaves the
station to pick up food then calls back on 2m for directiosn to the pizzaria
would be fine, if technically in violation.
I think someone who goes home and uses his call to pad the packet spots
would invite enforcement.
I also think that depending on how the request was made, the prohibition
against using non-amateur means to solicit contacts may also apply.
So yes, I'd have to say the practice of encouraging others to spot you
violates rules on a few levels.
But I don't see how pre-contest publicity violates any rule, especially
given the long-standing practice of DX-pedition anouncements.

For the life of me, I do not understand why everyone is so upset at an OO
a volunteer task that is trying to, in his/her own way keep the tradition
alive
of the ham bands policing themselves. This very rare in today's climate.
The folks are seriously trying to inform you of your misdeeds before
the FCC sends out one of those notices. I received an OO card a few
contests ago for, I believe, the same infraction that most of the guys here
are talking about. That of being too close to the band edge.I do believe the
rule still states that if any part of your signal is heard outside the band
edges,
then you are operating outside the band.
I used to be an OO a very long time ago, and Iremember what a thankless
job it was
then and apparently it still is. You used to be able to show that you
equipment met
certain standards, and I imagine that it is the same today.
After mentioning the self policing that we used to do, why don't hams tell
other hams when their signal sounds bad? It absolutely flabbergasts me to
hear a
CW signal with a super loud hum and chirp and when you mention it to the
operator
they rarely even acknowledge that you said anything, and if they do, they
just keep on
plugging.
The same applies to SSB also, distorted signals that are extremely
difficult to copy.
You know, communications microphones are supposed to be close talked...i.e,
lips
VERY near the wind screen. If you are talking a distance away from the mic,
then you
have to turn the gain up to get enough output, then all the background
noise is competing
with your voice. For those of you that disagree...go ahead, but why not try
to get a friend to test this
with you sometime on the air.
I think our South American friends are probably some of the worst about
this. Any of
you guys down yonder want to talk this around?

I don't know how other software works, but the spots stay in CT's bandmap
for an hour. As I tune around the bands, I spot only stations that are not
already in CT's bandmap (i.e. haven't been spotted in the last hour), or

There was a S51 station on two afternoons running on a very clear
frequency at about 14348.5. I was tempted to call him since I had
worked everyone else I could hear calling CQ and I couldn't hear well
enough to CQ myself, but an OO report from an earlier contest when I
called an EA station at about that frequency taught me not to even make
a quick call. I guess it may not be of as much concern to the DX
stations, but they no doubt lure a lot of US stations into violations
toward the upper end of 20 and possibly 15.

All this UPS talk is making my head spin. Sorry. Simple question: I have
stupid blackouts which last about a second about twice a month because I
have a stupid power company. Complaining did not work. I got a UPS - an
APC ES350. It worked for a year. But now, when I get home and the alarm
clock is flashing, the computer has rebooted and the answering machine is
back to Mr. JA-san saying "please-leave; A MESSage." Obviously the UPS has
become an IPS.
Do I have to replace the battery in the UPS? Is this a common thing? How
do I know? Internet source for these batteries?
Sorry this is off-topic, but theoretically it could happen during a contest
and I need to be prepared :)

No one seems to have answered Bob's question...
Official Observers are not focused on reporting intruders within ham bands.
For more info:

The ARRL Monitoring Service volunteers perform the intruder watch function,
some information is available here:

Tom,
Again, my intent with the original post was to remind folks to watch the
band edges (which I was doing, incidently), not to berate the OO. He just
struck me as a little TOO prepared to nail people -- like the cops at the
speed trap in a community north of Pittsburgh (said community had illegally
lowered the speed limit on State Route 65 within their borders, and then
nabbed people who didn't have enough time to drop from 55 to 40 MPH) who had
their tickets filled out with everything except the date, time, and license
plate. Odd -- but still, if he's right, he's right. Annoying, but right.
But even though I didn't identify him, it's amazing how many people knew
exactly whom I was talking about. Right down to the style of envelope the
notice came in, and age of the stamps on it.

On the one hand, a simple rule change to prohibit mass-spotting might be in
order. On the other, enforcing it could prove difficult, and someone
determined enough would find a way around it. And penaling the M/S or M/M
station for mass spotting could backfire -- there are those who'd do it just
to get someone DQ'd.
Probably best to express displeasure at this antic in forums like this one,
and hope the offenders will not do so in the future.

Mark,
The batteries in a UPS are lead-acid, same as a car battery. They do
wear out after a while. I have 4 UPSs between home and office. I've
replaced batts in 2 of them, I'd say averaging 4-5 years of use.
One way to test it is pull the UPS's plug out of the wall. If the computer
doesn't stay powered up, you need a new battery. Theoretically,
something else could be wrong with the UPS, but it's very unlikely.
I bought my replacement batts on Ebay.

Mark,
Somebody at work had a whole bunch of little APC UPSs
set up in a battery replacement triage a few months ago.
Apparently they got them for free because all of the
batteries were dead. They just dropped in new gel cells
and they were all as good as new. Don't know where they
got the new batteries, but I assume they are readily available
(they are probably standard cells) since the electronics generally
outlives them.
I can find out if you like.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] WRTC2002 Press Release #17 - K6AW replaces K7BV as the US
West representative
Message-ID: <01c1c7e2$9fe4e8c0$LocalHost@default>
CHANGE IN THE U.S WEST WRTC2002 REPRESENTATION
The WRTC2002 Organizing Committee assembled a team of representatives a
little over a year ago to provide several valuable services for the WRTC2002
games. We were fortunate to obtain financial services by the Northern
California DX Foundation, Inc and Bruce, W6OSP and Rusty, W6OAT.
We had also appointed US Regional representatives: Bob, K4UEE - South, Jeff,
K1ZM -East and Dennis, K7BV -West have performed remarkable fund raising work
in their respective areas. The entire group, further assisted by Bob, K3EST,
has provided the group in Finland with practical support, advise, guidance
and counseling.
This support has kept the spirit alive - emails are crossing the Atlantic
not daily but hourly. The group in Finland has no doubt that the upcoming
WRTC event is now well recognized and valued by the entire Amateur Radio
community. The stage for a wonderful event is being steadily set in a
professional manner. We are comfortable that this will be a memorable event for
all attendees:
regardless of whether they are a competitor or part of the enthusiastic
cheering crowd of well wishers.
Dennis, K7BV is about to take a new job on the snowy East Coast thus he will
turn over his regional responsibility to Steve Merchant, K6AW. Steve is a
seasoned contester at KC1XX, N6RO, HC8N, well suited to the activity, and a
frequent traveler to Finland. In fact, he operated the recent ARRL DX Contest
from the Aland Islands as OH0R.
Promoting and representing WRTC2002 has taken Dennis, K7BV to all continents
except Africa - all at his own expense. The effort has been very determined and
highly valued by all of us. We thank you kindly, Dennis. Instead of losing him,
we would like to use his energy and expertise in a new capacity, announced
today. We are pleased to invite Dennis to be an Honorary WRTC Ambassador at
Large, with the assumption that he will be personally seeing all WRTC delegates
upon their arrival in Finland.
The Organizing Committee of WRTC2002 would like to welcome Steve, K6AW on
board and thank all of our area representatives and supporters in the U.S and
elsewhere. We also wish Dennis, K7BV all the best of luck with his new
challenges.

Following recent inquiries, I thought I would drop a note informing that I
had to leave Haiti (along with my wife HH2TK and son HH2PKB) because of the
ever worsening situation there. I currently live in Toronto, Canada.
Unfortunately, in my neighborhood I cannot have a tower and antennas so I am
QRT at this time. However I would be very interested in contesting from VE3
and would like to get in touch with other VE3 contesters.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] OO reports
Message-ID: <d8jxuypzk2x8qli.100320020757@designet-jsi>
I think Tom, K5IID, is right on the money in his comments about the OO.
I have no problem at all with the OO using a photocopier to simplify his job.
If the OO only sent out the proper report in a timely manner, and didn't abuse
his position or malign the offender in what he wrote, then he did his job
correctly. If photocopying allowed him to make more violators aware of their
alleged transgressions, this is probably a good thing.
It seems to me that the OO community can defend a position that they are taking
a pretty liberal approach to their activities vis a vis contesting. In the
current FCC enforcement climate, they could argue that any contester who
operates within a crowded band, but outside a recommended bandplan, deserves an
OO notice. This based on the recent statements by FCC that bandplans are part
of "good amateur practice" and that frequency disputes will be adjudicated in
favor of amateurs who are observing the plan.
Food for thought.

That does bring up one DX station I ran into on 40m - wish I could remember
the call - "150, 150, DX1DX Contest listening 150". To the credit of us USA
types, in the 2 minutes or so I spent listening while fiddling with my
modem, he didn't get any answers...
The problem with 40m phone contest and USA here is that some USA stations are
listening below 7040, which is CW/FSK/Pactor... band here.

Congratulations to the sponsors of the Russian DX Contest. They have a
fantastic web site about the contest with rules, results, and records.
I was impressed by several innovations to contest results reporting. The
score listings are done by country and by category. This makes it possible
to see how you did against everyone without having to search through all the
country scores.
Even more interesting, they list the claimed score, the final score, the
percentage of the log that was cross checked, and the percentage of unique
QSOs. I think this is the first contest that has presented this level of
detail on the "quality" of log checking and of each operator.
I look forward to other contest results that are published on the web to do
the same.
Randy, K5ZD

Back in the late 70's I visited a well known G3 Contest station. He had the
100 watt transceiver with a small linear that could do 300 or 400 watts out.
They did have nice antennas but I asked how they did so well (against the
300 watt I's). He said the secret was the "antenna tuner" which was mounted
in a big drawer. The tuner had several 3-500Z's and a 4KV power supply.

The gell cell batteries for APC UPS are available from APC
or, more conveniently, places like Batteries Plus, Interstate
Batteries, etc. A web search will find dozens of places
selling the replacement batteries via mail order.
Try to check the UPS before buying a replacement battery.
Once in a while, they will lose the switching transistors
and a replacement battery won't do you any good. Check
the battery with five amps of 13.5 volt ... if it shows
good voltage and life, the UPS is bad. Most of the batteries
in the smaller (200 to 400 VA) UPS are rated for 5 to 7
Amp-hours (enough to provide five to 10 minutes operating
time at rated output).

Ron -
I believe that most who have read your post understand
that you aren't berating the OO.
Having said that -
Could you, perhaps, still be jumping to a conclusion?
You *assume* that he/she was sitting there, stack of forms
in hand, thirsting to nail folks. Actually, you don't *really*
know, what procedure the OO followed, and your comments
are based upon pure speculation.
Methinks you're too worried about the process. You
seem to appreciate the fact that the OO took the time
to help. Why continue to worry about the process, a
process that you actually know nothing about?
Suggestion: Write the OO a note of thanks! OO's spend
long hours toiling on the bands, receiving very little thanks
in return, generally no thanks at all.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Cable modem questions
Message-ID: <000701c1c84f$ab190600$03539718@ubr.charterne.com>
Hi Guys,
I currently use the basic Ethernet card with a Motorola SB4100 Modem to get
Charter Pipeline service (about 750k bandwith) to my Dell Win98 computer.
I would like to network this computer with another Win98 computer in the
shack (downstairs and about 50 feet away).
I was told that I have two basic options:
1) Buy a router (about $90 at Staples) and about 50' of Category 5 cable
together with another Ethernet card and Motorola Modem SB4100 modem and then
install and hook everything up (and hope that it works).
2) Buy a wireless router (about $150) and Two high end Ethernet cards (about
$100) and the Motorola modem and then install same.
I am wondering about the potential issues for each....
For Scenario #1, by far the simplest, I wonder about the degradation of
signal over 50' of category 5 cable to the upstairs computer. I also wonder
about the potential RFI problem of transmitting legal limit power and having
the 50' cable run act as an antenna. I know that I can use ferrite beads to
reduce the effects of RFI but I still wonder about the signal degradation
over such a long length of cable.
What about the RFI to the router located 10' away from the transmitter. Is
this an issue that anyone has in their station? If so, how is it solved?
Scenario #2
If I go wireless, will the legal limit RF create a problem with the router
and the wireless signals?
Also, if there is a wireless signal now, wouldn't it be easy for anyone in
close proximity to my qth to access either or both computers and get data
from my files? Security is a real concern to me.
I currently use Zonealarm ver 2.6 as a firewall on both computers but my
understanding is that this is excellent protection against people trying to
invade from the "outside" but I don't know if it will protect against
invasions against interecepted wireless signals and my transmissions by the
wireless router.
Can anyone provide practical info on these issues?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

The difference is that it is illegal for US stations to operate LSB on
7.150. It is NOT illegal for most European stations to operate LSB
below 7.040. It might be against the *gentlemans agreed* bandplan but
it is not illegal. Big difference.

I think everyone who has ever received an (in)famous "POPKIN-GRAM" should
keep it as a memento of becoming a member of the club. Perhaps we can see
who gets the first 5-band RAP (Received All Popkin-Gram) for 80-10? Mixed

Good Operator Report,
I don't know what is wrong with you serious contestors that U have to

Bob,
You have more options.
First of all, you do not NEED a router. You might decide it's the best
option, but it's not necessary.
I would add these additional options...
3. Add a hub. Put the hub in a convenient location. Route a Cat 5
ethernet cable from each computer to that hub.
4. Kiss off both the router idea and the hub if you don't mind using some
older technology. Use 10Base2 ethernet: RG59/U coax to a BNC connector on
the ethernet card (you need to buy an ethernet card that is either a combo
or a BNC-only card) on each computer. The computers basically are wired
together. At each computer you have a BNC Tee connector, the unused port of
which has a BNC terminating plug on it. 10Base2 networks have as a
disadvantage a speed limit of 10Mbps, which is still plenty fast enough for
your broadband connection at 765K.
I use both cat5 and the RG59 versions in the shack. 3 computers tied with
10base2 and another with the 3 via a hub and cat5. I don't run legal limit,
being constrained by my SB220, but still around a KW or so. Not a peep of
RFI among the network of 4 computers ALL in the ham shack within 20 ft of
the rig. Total RG59 coax length/cat5 around 50 ft or so. (I have lots of
excess cable using prepared lengths). Of those in my geographic area that I
know use LANs, none has experienced any RFI on ethernet lines, so I conclude
that it is uncommon and you should NOT expect a problem.
With options 1 thru 4 you will use file/printer sharing of Win98 along with
Win98's Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), I presume, so that both 'puters
will access each other and the internet. Since ICS maps the "remote"
computer address to that of the internet-connected computer, your ISP is
generally unaware that the sharing is going on. Two ISP accounts are not
required. The zone alarm you use today with your broadband link will still
work in an ICS LAN configuration and if you only access the internet thru
the ICS gateway, will not be required on the "remote" computer any longer.
You didn't state what program you are using to act as the PPPoE client on
the Dell (the pgm that talks thru the ethernet card to the external modem).
But, if you decide to use ICS to allow sharing of the broadband connection
with the downstairs computer, you might run into some complexity with the
(lack of) PPPoE/ICS support in Win98. I ended up installed RASPPPOE, a
freeware program, and kissing off my ISP's PPPoE application to make the
sharing work. RASPPPOE is highly thought of, BTW.
As for interception of the radiated wireless signals, I see no way zone
alarm can be of assistance there.
I've never tried wireless LANs and will read this thread with interest to
see others' experiences vis-a-vis RFI.

Back in the late early 70's time frame, I was busily trying to break a
pileup on 15-Meter CW. I hadn't gotten my Extra Class license yet (I
only had an Advanced), and was sending my call repeatedly with the rest
of the mob.
Several weeks later, I received a violation notice ("Reply in Duplicate
Within 10 Days!") from the FCC - I believe it was from the Spokane, WA
monitoring station. They noted that the band edge was 21.025 MHz for
Advanced Class licensees, and I had been observed operating on 21.02476
MHz. Of course, I replied immediately, and never heard anything further.
I learned several things from that FCC letter:
* The FCC had some good high-speed CW operators.
* The FCC's frequency readout was better than my Drake Twins with the
analog dial (which were "state of the art" gear back then.)
* The FCC was in the "enforcement" business back then.
* The FCC had lots of "free time" to cruise through the ham bands.
* The FCC guys probably did a big business during DXpeditions with their
"pink slips" (the one I got was white).
* The FCC probably had a few chuckles sending out the violation notices
since they knew that the hams receiving them really had just
"accidentally" been out-of-band ever so slightly.
I kept the letter so that I could frame it someday, hang it on the wall
in the ham shack, and be able to show visitors "how the FCC used to
work."
Where were the OO's, instead? I did get a couple of key-click notices
from them in the mid-1960's using my Heathkit DX-40 transmitter (and
eventually a postcard from the FCC!)
Oh, and yes, I did get through the pileup, and received the QSL card.
Funny thing though, the Callbook had mistakenly listed me as having an
"Extra" class license for a few years.....

FWIW, I use both approaches at my Truckee, CA QTH with no problem. My shack is
about 150' from the antenna which, unfortunately, points straight back at it
when beaming the East Coast. I run 1.5KW. In the shack is one end of about 150'
of Cat 5 to a cable modem/router upstairs and on the other side of the house. I
think the spec for Cat 5 is 500' so your cable is short. Also on my cable
modem/router is a separate wireless router intended to serve my son's apartment
across the driveway. In fact, his wireless laptop is usable almost anywhere in
either building. No RFI has ever been detected entering the network. Although I
have intermittent, unidentified RFI entering my receiver, mainly on 10-20,
powering off both the cable modem and the wireless router shows that they are
not the culprits.
Wireless routers are insecure unless you tell them to encrypt everything. Then
they can be very (but of course not completely) secure. According to my son
(KC6YEW but he'd rather use the Internet, Thank You), you can use up to 128 bit
encryption with many of these wireless routers, so only a very determined
intruder could access anything. Every machine that relies on a wireless modem
to access the network has to be informed of the security key. I don't think
your firewall impacts security of the wireless environment positively or
negatively.

It seems this request (both prior to and during a
contest) to "spot" someone comes all too often. I
find it more than a bit unpalatable when I see it, yet
I do understand it.
Perhaps if more folks made it clear that they find it
rather unattractive, the practice (of asking AND
complying) would diminish. Afterall, a lot of the
evidence is pretty clear!

Based on the comments and description, and reading between the lines, I
believe this OO is a well-known ham (at least in this area) who happens to
be a friend of mine. Please consider this:
1. He probably does sit there, stack of forms in hand, waiting for people to
"nail".
2. He does this because people's behavior in major contests is predictable:
There are always people answering DX CQ's on frequencies that put their
modulation products out of the band.
3. His motivation (since he's not a radio cop) must be (IMHO) to get people
to change their behavior before they get nailed by the FCC. This happens to
be a public service since there probably are some subtle rule violations
that are routinely made in contests by lots of people that nobody ever
thinks about which we can all live without coming under scrutiny.
Out-of-band violations happen to be very simple and very obvious and are
very easy for people to avoid if they pay attention. I can think of several
of these subtle other violations, but I won't discuss them here.
4. It's one thing to get a letter from Riley. Out-of-band violations may
involve interference to OTHER SERVICES. Riley is the Special Counsel for
AMATEUR RADIO Enforcement. Complaints from other services go elsewhere
before they get to Riley. The entire Amateur Radio Service can live without
this.
5. I think the bottom line to Ron's comments was that the OO in question,
just to use a double letter for no particular reason, sends out notices
during SSB contests because we are predictable. In doing so, his behavior
also becomes predictable, and the notices are worth commenting on only
because of this predictability, and their somewhat eccentric nature. If I
bought a million dollars or so of this week's commemorative stamp issue, I'd
probably have to use them for the rest of my life too.
I don't think I can count past five, but here's a story: In the ARRL SSB
contest last weekend I was operating at K2RD. At one point Friday night, I
took time out from a run to S&P not only multipliers, but "ordinary" QSO's
all over 20 meters. (As a first-time WriteLog user, I was having fun
mouse-clicking on the packet spot list.) At one point I was poised to call
a station on 14348.5 (not having noticed how close to the band edge this
was). Ira happened to notice the frequency readout on the 1000D, pointed to
it and said "That's a [name withheld] frequency." It took me 3 or 4 seconds
to figure out what he meant, never having received one of these OO notices,
but certainly having heard about them, at which point I giggled and replied
"Yeah, I guess it would be", shook my head clear of the cobwebs and went
back to finding a run frequency.

The difference is that it is illegal for US stations to operate LSB on
7.150. It is NOT illegal for most European stations to operate LSB
below 7.040. It might be against the *gentlemans agreed* bandplan but
it is not illegal. Big difference.

I've been down these roads. You need to check with your Internet provider,
a router may indeed be necessary. For example, AT&T Broadband charges an
additional fee ($9.95/month) to connect more than 1 computer (up to 3
actually) to the Internet (they call it Home Networking). Using a router,
I can connect as many computers as I want without paying the additional fee
(they see the router as a single computer). You can set up a gateway
computer and a hub and do the same thing, but then it needs 2 network
cards, must always be on, some software like AOL might not work through it,
etc.

I, too, received a Popkin-Gram, a few months ago.
Dave is a retired FCC field engineer, and evidently still
has the juices flowing. While he has time to monitor...he
doesn't make stuff up. (I won't go into the time he busted
my college carrier-current radio station...long ago and
far away. I'm just glad MY first-phone wasn't on the wall.)
At the time of receiving his OO notice, I sent him an email,
asking what he was using for receiving equipment. OO's are
obligated not to get into discussion with cited stations,
apparently.
While it IS true that you're not supposed to be heard out of band...
Receiver bandwidth comes into play. This could manifest as
signal peaks being heard on 7150, indicated....when the TX
station was on 7153, and had FCC compliant emissions, in
all respects.
There's another side to it...and one we might do well to
contemplate: If we have 2.6KHz wide filters in the exciter's
transmit chain, and we overlay on that the resulting amplified
spectrum....it's questionable whether we should operate on
7153 LSB. You would have to KNOW the spectral purity of the
entire chain--something we're generally not equipped to do.
I think Dave arbitrarily assumes the best here....if he sees
you're on 7153, you're ok. If below that...he sends a love
note. Not a bad thing to be reminded of. Unlike that cop in
Pittsburgh...there's no revenue consequence.

Reading about all the packet spots, my two cents:
Marketing of contest operations used to result in "why didn't I think of
that?" It didn't start with packet. For better or worse, now consensus
seems to have shifted to accusations of "spam" and "unfair advantage."
The good news - it's easy to ignore.
George (K5TR) asks if we want contests to be defined by skeds, emails,
spots, buddy-Qs, T-shirts and/or banner ads - I think as long as multipliers
have a dominant effect on score, these other things won't define contests.
You're probably going to need the guy on 6 bands no matter how he's
publicized, and you're probably not going to boycott him just because you
object to his solicitation practices.
Did the excessive spots get more people to decide to work ZF2MM than would
have otherwise? Probably. Should it be against the rules? Probably.
IMHO the sponsor is obligated to clarify the rules.

Message-ID: <ADEJKJINLBKGMNGALFCFMEEGDDAA.W2CS@bellsouth.net>
As I said before, you might WANT to use a router for performance reasons,
but it is not NEEDED for functional reasons. That statement remains
correct.
In fact in Bob's original question where he just wants to hook up a SECOND
computer, no hub or router is needed at all. A simple crossover cable can
be used to connect the two computers. A crossover cable is an ethernet cable
that is analogous to the null modem for serial port direct connections.
It's available prewired in many lengths at your local computer toy store.
If you use a crossover cable, you therefore must use the Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS) component of Windows as described below. Aside from that
special case of a 2-computer LAN...
The term router is unfortunately being used in this thread to mean several
things. One thing it means is that IP packets that are flowing between
computers on your LAN are sent to the router (in the center of a star
configuration) and that router box sends it only to the target LAN computer.
A hub, as was mentioned by someone else, simply passes that packet around to
everyone, and the computer addressed by the packet is the only one to act on
it. Thus a router will save LAN traffic and make the LAN more efficient.
This matters when you plan heavy traffic on the LAN, such as disk backups
across computers in the face of other LAN activity and the like. If what
you're doing is normal internet traffic and sending files to be printed,
this level of performance is not needed IMO. A typical broadband speed is
on the order of 1Mbps. The slowest LAN is 10Mbps, with most being 100Mbps.
Lots of headroom.
Another use of the term router, but in my view not a proper one, is the act
of "routing" IP packets to a single ISP-provided internet connection from
multiple computers on your LAN, without having to have multiple
accounts/IDs/IP-addresses from your ISP. I prefer to call this a gateway
function, instead of a routing function.
Here you have a gateway, either hardware or software, that looks to the ISP
as the box that logged on, and that gateway box in turn manages the routing
of packets from the different computers in such a way that the ISP always
sees them as coming from one IP-address. Internally, it knows how to route
the packets, inbound and outbound, from that gateway to individual computers
on the LAN.
This gateway "routing" function can be done EITHER by a router or by
software in one of the computers. Windows 98, 98SE, XP, 2000 and probably
NT (I'm not sure of NT) all provide a component called ICS-internet
connection sharing. With ICS you can have your gateway computer, usually
the fastest, connected to your ISP, and the other computers get their
packets routed to the internet by ICS within the LAN. The connected
computers are totally transparent to whether they are talking to your ISP
via the ICS gateway, or whether you decided, for example, to bring up a
local-to-that-computer dialup connection, or even a 2nd local broadband
connection. The LAN-attached computer will preferentially use the local
connection if it exists, or the LAN-gateway connection, otherwise. This
works like a charm; I've been using it in a 4-computer LAN for a few years
now, with a mix of Win95, Win98SE and WinXP systems. I have never had a
piece of software that could tell the difference as to whether it was
directly attached to my ISP or attached via a LAN+Gateway/ICS computer.
With the software ICS gateway approach you can also use internal modems on
that gateway machine, although it appears most broadband modems today seem
to be gravitating toward external modem boxes that are ethernet attached, so
this is likely a limited advantage.
With the external modem you can therefore either ethernet attach it to your
router box, to a hub (instead of a router), or as I prefer to do, to a
separate ethernet card in the gateway computer. This has the advantage of
having no direct hardware connection between your internet connection and
your LAN, something I prefer for security reasons. Thus, your gateway has 2
ethernet cards. Your modem connects to one, and the other goes to whatever
LAN hardware you decide to use: 10base2/BNC, hub, or router. Of course the
LAN-attached computers each have one ethernet card, which connects to the
LAN (10base2/BNC, hub or router on the other end), something independent of
how you connect the modem.
Regardless of which LAN wiring solution you choose, with an always-on
broadband connection you need to invest in some security software such as
zone alarm or Norton's Internet Security. Both are frequently updated and
monitor traffic to spot typical hacker attempts. This is like having an
antivirus product to catch viruses before they infest your computer. With a
long-lived connection, it's a prime target for a..holes who like to do dirt.
Some routers, such as Linksys, advertise security inherent in the router. I
distrust relying solely on the firmware in a piece of hardware to keep
hackers out. I prefer using software that can be updated frequently (like
weekly), by a company whose business it is to provide hacker security. So,
even if I had a router, which ostensibly offered some level of security, I
would back that up with a good software security product.
Hope this helped someone. My fingers are pooped.

50 feet of CAT5 is nothing. The official specifications state a limit of
100 meters, but 10 Mbit Ethernet can go much further and 100 Mbit has even
been known to exceed 100m without trouble.
QRM to CAT5-based Ethernet is minimal because of the design of the signals
on the wire. Ethernet over twisted-pair (10BaseT, 100BaseT, ...) uses
differential encoding. The signals on each wire of the twisted pair are 180
degrees out of phase. The RX is a differential amplifier. Any QRM is
injected on both wires in phase. This is cancelled out by the differential
amplifier. Also, the wires are twisted upon each other to minimize
reception of noise in the first place. Is QRM still possible? Certainly,
but I use CAT5 and have yet to cause problems, even with the Acom amp
blowing full steam. My Peet Bros. WX station, on the other hand, always
gets scrambled and requires a reset after every contest!

Of course, this is always a concern, but this stuff tends to be pretty good
with RFI, mainly because they will GENERATE a ton of RF if improperly
shielded (decent 30m QRP XMTRs).

Encryption is available in most devices. While insufficient for the CIA and

need.

ZoneAlarm will do nothing to protect from QRM. QRM is beyond the scope of
what this class of products does. I also use ZoneAlarm and its VY FB. If
you install a wired router, the router will likely have similar firewall
features, rendering ZoneAlarm redundant. If you use wireless networking,
ZoneAlarm will indeed provide an extra level of protection, although the
encryption will likely be enough.
Here is a worst-case scenario for wireless networking that is unlikely, but
nevertheless posssible. You do not enable encryption and your neighbor
tasps into your wireless network and essentially uses you as a free ISP.
You tell ZoneAlarm that your "local" network is safe and any IP addresses
beginning with 192.168 are local. Your neighbor grabs a 192.168 address and
can then access shared files on your PCs. ZoneAlarm CAN protect against
this, but you have to be very specific about which addresses are "trusted"
and monitor it carefully. The best option is, of course, to use encryption.
This would keep you neighbor out unless he somehow discovered your
encryption key.
CONTEST RELEVANCE:
Since this is the contest reflector, how does this relate to CONTESTING?
Multi-ops and some SO2R ops will want to use such networking. With
WriteLog, CT, and other logging software supporting Ethernet networking now,
it handily beats the old COM port serial networks. Also, this is of crucial
importance for family harmony. If the XYL and harmonics want to surf the
Internet during the big contest, it's best to understand these issues.

To reinforce prior postings with regard to
RFI and ethernet, I have a 100Mbit network
with 4 servers adjacent to the left and two
servers adjacent to the right, with ethernet
cables running behind the rig (and on the
second floor, 14 feet above ground).
I have two routers (STRONGLY RECOMMMENDED),
one for ADSL (384K out, 1.44Mbit in), and
one for IDSL (144K both ways), cross connected
for reliability of access for business.
A 150 foot run of ethernet feeds the three
home machines downstairs, one of which has
wireless 2.4GHz keyboard and mouse.
I have never had any sign of RFI into the
network with full Alpha power, and I use
telnet connnections to packet clusters that
have never dropped, and I've run heavy
printing across the LAN while transmitting
without any impact whatsoever.
And I've never heard any RFI reception that
was caused by the network or the wireless
devices.

Of course our behavior as a group is highly predictable, otherwise a variant of
this discussion wouldn't recur each year...
Every time the topic does comes up, one thing that strikes me is the degree of
arbitrariness. We don't have a technical performance-based rule (-xx dBc @ +3
kHz) for how close we can get to the band edge. We have an absolute prohibition
(no emission out of band). That's a rule with which it may lierally be
impossible for anyone to ever transmit a signal and still be in compliance
(think about transmitted phase noise).
"Good practices" may suggest 3 kHz but there's no black and white, right or
wrong, how close is too close; 14347.00 minus epsilon doesn't absolutely
guarantee that I'm on the side of the angels and 14347.00 plus epsilon isn't
necessarily going to run me afoul of the Feds (I'd agree that 14348.5 or
7150.00 are horses of a different color). If anything, adopting a de facto
standard of 3 kHz is quite generous and affords ourselves a substantial benefit
of the doubt.
Getting an advisory notice about adherence with this conventional wisdom is not
in any way inappropriate, unjustified or unfair. It may serve as an important
and useful reminder. But to anyone cognizant of the subtlety and ambiguity in
the FCC rules, receiving such a notice doesn't convey very much in the way of
new or useful information on which to act.
If this were to happen to me, I hope I'd been fully aware that calling someone
on 14346.97 was getting pretty darn close to the functional definition of the
"band edge". Under those circumstances, a valuable notice would be one that
informed me that I'd actually been heard out of band; an irrelevant notice is
one that informs me that I worked a station that was on 14347.03 sent by
somebody who was busy logging notices to check any further for a more
definitive infraction.
If an implication of these notices this is how FCC Monitoring went about
issuing their citations in the past? Well, that's very interesting but how
relevant might that be today?

Hi Larry
I got one for operating closer to the band edge than that. On
40, before I got the extra, I was chasing an EA station and got a
pink slip from the FCC for operating on 7024.75 MHZ. I was 25
cycles into the extra band. I didn't argue, just told them I was
sorry and that's the last I heard about it. 73

Hi Mike,
Well, there IS a section in the FCC rules that
defines bandwidth. You'll find it in section 2 of
the FCC rules. They list an entire table of
bandwidth descriptions, the formulas, and the
emission types that fall under them.
I went a downloaded it from the FCC site and have
it at home.
You can tell the max bandwidth by looking at the
designator. SSBSC (SSB Supressed Carrier) is
noted as 2K7J3E which means 2.7 kHz bandwidth
J3E is the internationally recognized emmission
designator for SSB SC.
Suggest anyone interested find that. You will
will note specific details for bandwidth.

Well, I don't know if it was a great day or not. Just received my copy to
confirm
Dennis, K7BV is leaving the NCJ for uncharted waters. I'm sure this is good
for Dennis but I worry about his leaving.
I thought Dennis did a great job with the NCJ and I was hoping he would continue
the mission for awhile. I have had the pleasure of working with Dennis on NCJ
articles and, not counting the 1000+ contest Q's, have chatted with him during
the Dayton and Friedrichshafen ham shows. He's an all around "good" guy, "good"
for contesting and "good" for the NCJ.
Okay, Carl, I'm sure you will do a great job as well. Bad luck having to follow
K7BV

http://www.qsl.net/sterling/QSOParty.html
As in years past I've put together a TRLog .dom file for this contest. The one
that I have is for in-state stations, but all you have to do is eliminate the
state and province abbreviations to use it out-of-state.
NOTE: the official county and independent city mult abbreviations have changed
from past years; don't use old .dom files...
This QP has been growing in the past few years and is a lot of fun with a fair
amount of activity.
If you want a copy of this .dom file just drop me some email. I can also
furnish a logcfg.dat "stub" file that you can add to and use for the VAQP.

Maybe 30 years ago was assigned for an Army Reserve summer camp to Camp
Ripley, MN. Had been active on 160 and phoned one of the big guns living
nearby and asked if I could drop by to check out the antenna system. Was
invited. Dropped by with the Chaplain and was entertained by this Hams wife
on the front porch for a while and then given a tour of the shack. The
non-Ham with me later asked why things were being moved around inside while
we waited. Power limit on 160 then was 50/100 watts.
Rumor is that that guy moved somewhere south of FL and isn't hamming
anymore. Maybe those antenna tuners exist(ed) outside of I and G.

I don't think it's unchartered at all. I think it said he was going to go work
for the ARRL.
Note that he also was replaced by K6AW as the west-coast (liason?) to
WRTC-2002.
Sounds like Dennis is looking forward to being very busy, and making the time
for it.
Good luck, Dennis, and thanks for your service to the NCJ.

I'm increasingly finding that if there was a way to, I'd request folks _not_
to spot me.
It used to be that before the Internet got involved, from the other side one
could see how spots propagated on packet & with the exception of highly
populated areas (W6 comes to mind), one could keep up.
But now - kaboom - all of NA is calling all at once. I was only goofing around
in ARRL DX SSB, but it wouldn't take long for the pile to instantly mushroom
& my rate to dip below three-per-minute. I'd pull the cans & wander off to
the kitchen to make a cup of tea, listening to folks calling & calling &
calling,
whilst at least one switched on chap would invariably chip in with "You

Message-ID: <127.d685155.29beb701@aol.com>
Fellow Contesters
There has been some of discussion about the pre-contest
publicity and packet spotting activity for my recent ZF2MM
operation. After wading through the comments and input some of
you have provided, I feel terrible about the fact that some feel
I might have crossed the line. Had I known some would feel that way, I
wouldn't have bothered doing it.
Did I publicize my operation before hand? Of course I did. I
did the same thing that I've done for the past 10 years... in
every single contest, from Sprint and NAQP to CQWW and ARRL
DX... I went through old logs and emailed people that I've
worked before encouraging them to get on and make Qs. Did I ask people to
get on and only work me, and no one else? Of course not, the thought never
entered my mind... that would be
unethical. Did I ask anyone during the contest to spot me?
Absolutely not, that's specifically against the rules. Even though
there were no rules broken, this has become an unfortunate
situation that seems to have gotten a bit out of hand, and for that, I
apologize.
The bottom line is that I didn't mean to upset anyone! I'm
sorry if you're one of the ones that got upset. That certainly
wasn't my intent at all. The intent was to increase participation in this
contest for everyone, just as I have been doing for the past 10 years in all
contests. It's worked very well for the Sprints and NAQP as all kinds of
state records have been broken in both modes of both contests by everyone!
Activity in SS has gone way up as well and the club competition has gotten
very heated, which is great for everyone! This was the first time I tried
publicizing contest via email where I was gonig to be DX. Turns out it
wasn't such a good idea... I probably won't do it again.
As much as I hate learning experiences, I guess everyone has to
go through them now and then. I hope that, in the long run, this experience
will better the sport of contesting that we all love.
After talking to a few "serious contesters," I have decided to
submit my log in the category that I operated in...single op,
high power, and will do so with a clear conscience.
Thanks for reading

Paul,
No reason to apologize! You didn't do anything that hasn't been done for
years. See VP2KC, CN8WW or almost any OH2BH operation...
The problem, if there was one, had more to do with the zeal of your home
boys to overhype you on packet. The comments in the notes field were a bit
much.
Keep running 'em.

Some of you are going to wonder why your scores are not posted
in this summary. Frankly, I have come to the end of my patience
when it come to dealing with HTML encoded mail and attachments.
Tonight was the last straw. The 3830 Mailserver used to stop
HTML encoded mail and I had a chance to strip it out before
sending it along. the past week, it's been coming through in
all it's glorious mess and I am just not going to deal with
it anymore. I just can't spend 5 minutes trying to decoding
the stuff or searching for attachments on my harddrive.
Hopefully, the new Stripmine application (just installed on
contesting.com lists) will handle the cleanup up in the future
but if you can't find your post here - check your mail options.
If they are set for plain text, I'll be happy to help. If you
used the Web submission page - ditto.
Sorry if I sound cranky - I am. dink, n7wa

Subject: [CQ-Contest] bandwidth
Message-ID: <3C8DE04E.6B4B@erols.com>
If you want to see what the FCC says about allowable bandwidth.. look at
section 2.202. They have a table and a formula for figuring it out. IT's
not related anywhere, specifically, in part 97 to go to 2.202 to find
out.. but the rules are there.
Just fyi. if you happen to have the gear to actually MEASURE your
bandwidth.. well, enjoy! All it takes is a decent spec analyzer, a high
quality stable reciever with a VERY accurate frequency readout, and a
'scope. It's not hard, but it takes a bit of time but it is highly
accurate and helps allay your fears. Of course.. if you have different
voice pitched operators you'll have to do a curve for each one cuz the
voice pitch affects the overall bandwidth.

Fellow Contesters
There has been some of discussion about the pre-contest
publicity and packet spotting activity for my recent ZF2MM
operation. After wading through the comments and input some of
you have provided, I feel terrible about the fact that some feel
I might have crossed the line. Had I known some would feel that way, I
wouldn't have bothered doing it.
Did I publicize my operation before hand? Of course I did. I
did the same thing that I've done for the past 10 years... in
every single contest, from Sprint and NAQP to CQWW and ARRL
DX... I went through old logs and emailed people that I've
worked before encouraging them to get on and make Qs. Did I ask people to
get on and only work me, and no one else? Of course not, the thought never
entered my mind... that would be
unethical. Did I ask anyone during the contest to spot me?
Absolutely not, that's specifically against the rules. Even though
there were no rules broken, this has become an unfortunate
situation that seems to have gotten a bit out of hand, and for that, I
apologize.
The bottom line is that I didn't mean to upset anyone! I'm
sorry if you're one of the ones that got upset. That certainly
wasn't my intent at all. The intent was to increase participation in this
contest for everyone, just as I have been doing for the past 10 years in all
contests. It's worked very well for the Sprints and NAQP as all kinds of
state records have been broken in both modes of both contests by everyone!
Activity in SS has gone way up as well and the club competition has gotten
very heated, which is great for everyone! This was the first time I tried
publicizing contest via email where I was gonig to be DX. Turns out it
wasn't such a good idea... I probably won't do it again.
As much as I hate learning experiences, I guess everyone has to
go through them now and then. I hope that, in the long run, this experience
will better the sport of contesting that we all love.
After talking to a few "serious contesters," I have decided to
submit my log in the category that I operated in...single op,
high power, and will do so with a clear conscience.
Thanks for reading
Paul K9PG

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Tracking power line noise
Message-ID: <z3rkh4h1xzvovhl.120320020949@designet-jsi>
After taking a major lightning strike last summer, there were lots of repairs
to do. Both my office and shack were affected. Rigs were blown; computers
damaged; it was a mess. While rebuilding, I didn't operate the station much
until ARRL DX this year. One of the things I noticed just prior to the contests
was a lot of low-band noise [80/160]. I did some basic testing, and determined
that noise sources appeared to be coming from outside the shack. This
determination was made after powering down every item in the shack, except the
receiver - and the noise was still there. It would also seem to increase in
strength with the 80m yagi aimed away from the house, and it was also strong on
the beverages [also aimed away from the house]. So, everything seemed to point
to an external noise source. But, there was no time to track and eliminate the
problem in the few remaining hours before the contest.
We operated the contests with the noise there, and lost a lot of points as a
result. I even got an email from another contester who wanted to let me know
just how obnoxious we were on the low-bands - calling DX stations when they
were already coming back to someone. He was right - we were in bad shape, and
it showed. The day after the SSB contest, I was so frustrated with the problem
that I went out and started to track neighborhood electrical noises with the
mobile rig. Boy, did I find a lot of things. Well, after a long search, I
located a very noisy CATV power supply. It was emitting a lot of electrical
noise and it was audibly humming away up there on the pole, too. I was 99% sure
this was the problem. With a boatload of assistance from well-connected
contacts in the CATV company, the power supply was replaced. The electrical and
audible noise in the area immediately around the power supply were both
eliminated. I rushed back to the shack to see if the problem was gone, and to
my amazement, it was still there - rock solid. Although it didn't solve my
noise problem, the CATV people said the supply really did need to be replaced,
so their efforts were not in vain. I really appreciated their help. Good thing
I left that 1% chance in my mind, though.
So, I went out driving again. I found more noise sources - two street lamps
that were arcing and failing to start properly. They were generating 40-60dB
over S9 noise. That noise was being radiated from the power lines for up to 2
miles from the source. I reported them to the power company for replacement.
But, these sources were time-of-day-dependent. During daylight hours, they were
quiet. And my noise was still there - all the time - day and night.
At this point, I was completely stumped, almost ready to talk to my wife about
putting the house up for sale. Instead, I decided to just take a couple of days
away from the problem and return to it later with a fresh approach. When I
decided to attack the problem again, I had already thought about how to
approach it:
1. Start over - make no assumptions.
2. Recognize that the source will very likely be obvious, when found.
3. Question everything.
So, I started over - looking inside first. Once again, I powered down
everything but the receiver. And, there was the noise. But, this time I wasn't
going to start looking for external noises so quickly. Was there still a
possible noise source in the shack or the house? I realized that I hadn't
really powered down everything - the receiver was running off the UPS hidden
under the desk! I moved the receiver to straight ac power - and the noise was
GONE!
The UPS was installed last summer as a protective measure against lightning and
other power failures [we have them frequently in my town]. I had just finished
telling the world how great the UPS was during the power glitch we suffered on
Sunday morning in the ARRL SSB contest, so the device was fresh on my mind.
The buzzing/hash noise generated by the UPS only appeared when a device was
plugged into it. It could be anything. And it would go away sometimes when the
device power was turned on - loading the UPS output. This had the feel of a
radiated noise from the device power cord. There were a number of potential
tests to perform, but the solutions were limited. So, I went straight to the
solutions, instead of messing around with testing. I took an old line cord and
wrapped most of it around multiple ferrites. I connected the stripped end to a
series line filter, and then fed that into a highly filtered multiple-outlet
strip with surge suppression. Plugged that into the output of the UPS and
started testing for noise. Gradually, I added all the loads back to the
filtered UPS output, and determined that these measures have completely
eliminated the noise.
Lessons learned or reinforced:
1. The problem is most likely to be blatantly obvious when found.
2. Don't assume too much along the way.
3. Definitely don't be too tough on anybody - like utilities - until you can
PROVE they are the problem.
4. It ain't over 'til its over.
5. The UPS is still a GREAT thing to have in the shack/office - no change in
my previous conclusions on this subject.
I think it's over. But, will continue testing - forever.

Paul, K9PG:
As I told you privately, when the snowstorm of grumbling began,
some folks are jealous.
It's good for the sport to publicize activity. k5zd offers some
good examples of similar actions. Did some of your clubmates get
excited? Great! Now write a post-contest piece for publication,
so you get MORE people excited and involved.
I note that the internet packet system handled the callout volumes
well enough. It's possible that some of the RF links might not
have been as robust. Perhaps there's something to be learned there.
Nice work, by the way. I wouldn't hesitate to publicize future

Yes those "antenna tuners" do exist in other countries. The only countries
I?ve seen 4CX10000 amplifiers in is USA (lot?s of them) Finland and
Sweden (huuuh). Now this is the big stuff but smaller stuff runing maybe
around 4 - 5 kW?s are very very very common in the world these days,
also in the USA so please stop mocking the Italians since they are no
worse then others.

I don't know what all the fuss about re-arranging the shack. In that part of
the country it was legal to run a KW . in some parts of the band and during
daylight. Some times the sun didn't set until VERY late.

There are a lot of seriously gray areas involved with the addition of packet
and Internet technology to the traditional concept of "single op".
Occasionally, enthusiastic use of these technologies strays into areas that
may overly compromise the concept of "single". There have been vigorous
discussions on similar topics - such as the use of "support teams" and host
assistance. In this case, the topic is pre- and during-contest "packet
marketing".
As far as I know we are still operating under the "all is permitted that is
not forbidden" assumption, so there would be no reason for Paul to withdraw
his log or change its entry category. There have been many situations in
the past where someone discovers a new and clever trick that pushes the
envelope into an area that provokes comment. Maybe there is a rule change,
maybe just a gentleman's agreement that the trick isn't "sporting", or just
maybe everybody starts doing it. Use of second radios is now accepted and
encouraged, but for many years it was quite unusual and often frowned upon.
Speaking for myself only - I would not hesitate to advertise my expedition,
nor to let all my club members know that I hoped to put them in the log on
all six bands. That's part of the good fellowship and enjoyment of
contesting. We don't do this in a vacumn, you know. In general, my
personal rule is that I try to compete on the basis of whether the wet stuff
between my ears works better than the other guy's wet stuff. Yet I augment
it with the best technology and location I can afford. It's often a
difficult call that we all have to make on our own best judgement.
If, for example, the contest adminstrators feel that packet spotting is
affecting the outcome in undesirable ways or is being used in a manner that
is not equally available to all competitors, then they need to write
unambiguous rules that create the appropriate constraints. In the absence
of formal constraints, then the only means of examining the issues is public
discussions in forums such as this.
Without discussion, how would the sport grow? I don't want contesting to
deteriorate into the state of some other sports where nothing new is
possible. We're very technology-driven and new gadgetry often introduces
completely new modes of operating that require some discussion as to their
appropriateness.
Personally, I appreciate K9PG's difficult post.

I have an APC UPS and have noticed nothing coming from it. I did have a
problem with a UPS sytems a number of years ago. There is a company on the
main street a few blocks from my house that has (still have) a big mainframe
with a UPS system as they need 100% up time as they process banking
transactions such as stockholder accounting and now home banking. I got
the Georgia Power Ex RFI investigator to come out and after looking
everywhere we drove into the business complex. Approaching the computer
center building the noise nearly blocked the local radio stations. The
company's building manager was hostile to anything so I got the IBM FE who
is a ham to approach them. Turns out the employees could only use FM in the
complex and even TV (both commercial and closed circuit) was affected. The
UPS firm came out and quickly found the problem.
Sometimes cleaning up a problem takes a lot of work. I nearly missed a
Mount Athos Dxpedition because of the noise which was S9+10DB with the beam
pointed NE toward both Greece and the firm.

Jim,
I'd like to add a few comments, having gone through some noise
problems myself recently.
The first thing the power company noise guru (also a ham) did was turn
my house power off at the main breakers. He fired up a little Honda
generator, and we plugged my rcvr right into to, to make sure the noise
was not coming from somewhere in the house (which it wasn't).
Next thing found was a noise emanating from a neighbor's house, about
1000 ft away. Turned out to be two, bad dimmer switches. I bought him
new switches and that fixed that. From there the search went continued
to some loose hardware and bad lightning arrestors on some poles...

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Cable Modem Answers and Summary
Message-ID: <001101c1ca19$960cd0e0$03539718@ubr.charterne.com>
I have been overwhelmed by the number of responses that I received to my
questions and the number of different ways of networking computers and
valuable information that you shared. Thank you all SO MUCH!
I have decided to go with a wired network and will itemize what I am going
to do and why for those who might be interested.
My current system is a Motorola SB4100 Cable Modem with Charter Pipeline
service at about 750 Kbaud connected to a Dell Pentium computer running
Windows 98 Ver 2 in my office. I wanted to be able to hook up the generic
Pentium computer in my shack also using Win 98 Ver 2.
I was not sure whether wired or wireless was the best way to go.
Many of you thought that a wireless router could have issues with cell
phones that operate in the 2.4 gig range. Others thought that would not be
a problem since the routers and cellphones are broad spectrum. Some thought
encryption was adequate for security, others not. This is a gray area. One
person pointed out that it was possible for someone close by to actually use
me as an ISP if I went wireless. Regardless, I couldn't take a chance on
security. There was also the cost factor - a wireless router and 2 wireless
ethernet cards could add an additional $150 - $200 over a wired
installation, although this would be offset to some degree by not having the
cost of cat5e cables. I would not have the convenience of wireless either.
However, several of you cautioned that this is new and unproved technology,
the wireless routers are usually slower - especially if there are
interfering with/being interfered with by cell phones and could/would be
more prone to trouble.
Since I am using Win98 Ver 2 on both computers, I do not need to be
concerned with Internet Connection Sharing Software, and since I am not
using Mixed Media, that also simplifies everything. Likewise, since this is
a simple installation with Win98 Ver 2 and a router, I do not need to worry
about messing around with computer protocols, IP addresses and other stuff.
The router will take care of that. While that may not be sufficient for
more complex installations, it should be adequate for my purposes.
I decided to buy a 4-port router (rather than a hub) so that I would have
better speed and reliability and could also take advantage of the NAT/PPoE
protocols and have additional firewall protection IN ADDITION to my Zonelabs
2.6.2 firewall. The "pro's" among you all said that you should have a
firewall installed on your computer and NOT rely solely on the router since
if someone penetrated the computer, the router could not prevent
unauthorized traffic OUT. Also, as I understand it, worms could send many
e-mails out using your address book. The extra protection of a Zonelabs
firewall is a good thing (protects in AND out) and cheap insurance.
With a 4-port router, I would not need a hub for multiple connections (one
less box) and since I have a printer port (DI704P vs DI704 model) I can
connect a printer downstairs to the router as well.
After doing some research on www.practicallywired.com and reading everyone's
comments, I decided on the DLink DI-704P router which is currently $79.99 at
www.bestbuy.com BEFORE the $30 mail-in Bestbuy rebate (purchase by 3/16/02)
AND the $20 Dlink rebate (purchase by 3/16/02) for a net cost of $29.99!
Likewise, the Dlink DFE530TX+ Ethernet 32 Bit PCI Card is $14.99 at Bestbuy
before the $5.00 Dlink Mail-in rebate (purchase by 3/16/02) for a net cost
of $9.99. It is very hard to ignore prices like this! At this price, I
decided to buy an extra card for future use.
I am pricing both Shielded (STP) and Unshielded (UTP) cable. Although some
felt that shielding was not necessary, at the right price I will go with
shielded cable, just to add an extra layer of safety.
After shopping around at Bestbuy, Blackbox, CDW computer and a few others,
it became obvious that www.cdw.com has the best prices on cat5e cables and a
very wide assortment of colors and lengths. If you set up a corporate
account with them, you may even get another 20-30% off like I did.
So, my installation will be as follows:
Charter Pipeline 750kbaud - Cable Modem - Router -
Computer1
Computer2
There were many, many other ways of doing this installation depending on
wired vs. wireless, router vs. hub, etc, but in the end I wanted something
reliable, easy and fairly cheap.
I hope that this summary will be helpful to those of you who know even less
about this stuff than me! Many, many thanks to K1TTT, N2SS, N3AD, W2UP,
WM3T, W2CS, N4ZR, K9MI, K3CT, K6LL, SM0WKA, NQ4I, K6LA, VA3NA, EA5DFV, W1UK,

It's interesting to me how we seemingly think the Italians are the (1) only,
or (2) mostly guilty of running power.
And even though it's appears to be against most of the rules, we think it's
a big joke. Many of us know some who run smash, yet we appear to be in some
kind of awe that they're able to do it, and get away with it
year-after-year.
Where is this so-called "peer pressure", and "self policing" for which we so
admire ourselves?
Running super power gives those who do it a big advantage, yet we think it's
funny?
The Italians are not alone, and it seems to me that it's time for us to get
our collective act together.

I don't really understand people who feel obligated to insult OO's, or
make light of their efforts.
This seems to be a trend that has spilled over from the rest of
society that anything we do is OK.

A good many people operate out of band, especially when they
have power pushed to the limit of the radio/amp.
In particular solid state equipment needs huge headroom to have
reasonable IMD performance, yet I see rigs like FT1000MP's
cranked up to 130 watts or more. If you use a new TS2000 on 160,
IM is only in the -20dB range. Better stay far from band edges with
that rig, especially if you are loud!

The guy should be congratulated. He paid for those stamps,
devoted his time, and we should not operate with emissions that
extend out of band or spurious emissions that cause interference.
Of course the point is well taken that the OO should be absolutely
sure his receiver is not the problem. It would be a good idea if the
ARRL required the OO to detail his equipment, and how he made
the measurement.

I believe the ARRL 10 Meter test gets the most entries of any ARRL contest,
but that's almost over for this decade because of the impending decline of
the sunspot cycle. I like the IARU because it is shorter and you can go
mixed mode if you like, plus this year it is combined with the World Radio
Team Championship. The CW Sprints (4 hours each, twice a year) are frantic
but lots of fun. WAE has lots of activity and the QTC feature adds a unique
dimension. The NA QSO Parties (twice a year in each mode) are also brief
and give you a chance to call your contesting compatriots by name, which I
find good fun, especially on phone.

In ancient times, when I was an OO, ARRL held monthly Frequency
Measurement Tests, where W1AW would come on at a specific time
near a specified frequency, and stations would measure the exact
frequency and submit the measuremetns to HQ.
To become an Official Observer back then, you needed to show the
ability to measure that frequency accurately within a set of limits.
Current requirements are outlines on the ARRL web site at:
http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/org/oo.html. The frequency monitoring
tests are gone, but accurate receiving equipment is essential!
The FCC has made it clear that OOs are to be taken seriously. See
the item at: http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/1999/04/08/3/

A very interesting question. I can only make a few comments and list my own
favorites. Also, I'm not going to list any domestic only contests, since
Top 10 should in my mind be topten internationally (besides, I'm in W1 - we
can't win domestic contests - hi hi).
My favorites, in rough order (notice a CW bias :) - probably I should ignore
modes in this list?):
CQWW CW
IARU
ARRL CW
WPX CW
CQWW SSB
WPX SSB
ARRL SSB
CQWW 160 CW
ARRL 10m
Some other contests I've enjoyed playing in:
NAQSO party
CQ-M
Russian DX contest
And I'm sure I've missed something!

I didnt have time to reply to your initial inquiry, but I'm doing the same
thing you have done with very good success.
However, I bought the Dlink router that includes Wireless LAN and a
printer server port. I bought a Compact Flash Wireless card for my IPAQ
PDA and can now browse the web and email from my living room couch! hi!
It's plenty fast enough. Honestly, I dont use it very much, but it seemed
like such a cool thing I had to try it! hi!
There are security issues going wireless. Even though you can create an
encryption code that should limit access, I'm sure it's not totally
secure. I put the router in the basement and I live on a fairly large
piece of property, so my wireless LAN footprint probably doesnt extend
beyond my property line.
I did want to tell you that I have a 2.4 ghz cordless phone that is
definitely affected if you try to operate it within a few feet of a
Wireless LAN node or base. It comes across as an intermittent buzzing
noise that doesnt keep it from working, but it's definitely unpleasant.
Not sure about using a cellphone nearby, but havent noticed a problem with
that yet and my 900 mhz cordless phone is unaffected.

I agree completely with Tom.
I saw a couple of the notices last night. In both cases, the party receiving
the notice was operating at or above 14348.0. By definition, given the
bandwidth of SSB filters and the placement of the filters with respect to the
carrier, these signals were out of band.
I don't know what it is about our culture, but it seems to me that going 80
MPH in a 60 MPH zone is perfectly fine as long as you don't get caught, and
if you do, its because the cop is a jerk.
One of the strongest features of our hobby has been "self policing." This
aspect of our hobby needs and deserves your support.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Contest Spots
Message-ID: <001c01c1caa0$f7ed80c0$5f20fccd@jvpcb01>
During the recent dustup over spotting, I decided to search the DX summit
database
for my call - just to see what might be on there. I am not an active
spotter - one time
I sent in a spot after working some DX, mainly just to see my call pop up on
the screen.
When I searched for NS3T, I found a second spot which was listed as if I
submitted it
during the ARRL DX SSB contest - the contact was with YP3A.
I got curious and decided to check out the spots involving YP3A from that
contest.
It is somewhat revealing.
There were forty unique calls involved with YP3A spots. All showed YP3A as
the DX.
I checked every single call in the same spot database to see if these
stations posted
spots on a regular basis - and half did so - familiar calls like W3LPL,
K1AR, W4MYA.
All seemed fine there. There was one cheerleader (N2GM) who spotted
YP3A a bunch of times - in each case on 15 meters...but that did not
interest me.
Remember, what got me into this was that my call (NS3T) was listed as
posting YP3A.
14 of the 40 spots for YP3A (35%) were by stations that had no spots during
2002, and
some of them had never posted a spot at all.
This is the list:
K4FWC 21246.5 YP3A YO1828 02 Mar 2002
K7LPK 21246.5 YP3A vy gud sig YO1844 02 Mar 2002
NS3T 21246.5 YP3A YO2010 02 Mar
2002
KJ7UO 21246.5 YP3A YO2050 02 Mar
2002
K1QK 21246.5 YP3A YO2052 02 Mar
2002
W1AMJ 21246.5 YP3A YO2100 02 Mar 2002
W4IMF 21246.5 YP3A YO2106 02 Mar 2002
W3ARS 21246.5 YP3A YO2126 02 Mar 2002
W0GHZ 21246.5 YP3A YO2130 02 Mar 2002
N1BFF 21246.5 YP3A YO2136 02 Mar
2002
K2EVY 21246.5 YP3A YO2144 02 Mar 2002
KA9ZLR 21246.5 YP3A YO2238 02 Mar 2002
KG4GNO 21246.5 YP3A YO2256 02 Mar 2002
Like I said - for all of these stations, this was their ONLY spot of the
entire
contest on the DX Summit database and for seven, the ONLY spots involving
their
calls for all of 2001 & 2002.
What's more interesting is that each spot is on the same frequency over a
several hour period. Others did spot YP3A during this time - a couple had a
slightly
different frequency posted.
What does it mean?
Does it mean that someone at YP3A was posting spots, under the guise of
someone else's call in the US? I am hesitant to accuse anyone of
wrongdoing.
Maybe some of these US stations made only one spot in the contest and
it happened to be YP3A.
All I know is, I did not spot YP3A - but someone submitted a spot under
my call....and the evidence shows I might not have been the only one.
Any thoughts from the contest community?

Dennis,
For most contesters this would be the top 8 not just 4.
{CQ WW, CQ WPX, ARRL DX, and ARRL SS are probably the "top 4"}
The IARU is pretty popular as is the WAE, AA, CQ-m(whatever it's called now)
and there are many QSO parties that are gaining popularity. It just depends
on your likes and dislikes.

You right, but perhaps they are just the most egregious example.
I mean, I remember reading an article about an Italian M/M effort writeup
in NCJ. The author went to great lengths to describe all the equipment
used. However, he failed to mention any of the Alpha amplifiers which
were clearly visible in the station photographs.
I mean, who are we fooling here?
W7OT and I used to joke about one contest write up about the Lampusesa
"300W" amplifiers. After much debate, we decided that "300W" referred to
the FILAMENT power....

Not at all. I'm all for the contest judges to start DQing and and all

Quacks ( Maybe this thread won't get TOO many on their High Horses as PKT
Asst, Pkt Spotting, SO2R and High Power Italians "special antennas" etc.)
Dennis that about covers it if you do both modes you have covered 8 contest.
I like some of the state QSO events. CA and FL to name 2. The problem for
some is that IARU, is in the summer and with nice WX it is not always easy
to set at the Radio when the sun is shining and its in the mid- 70's
outside and lots of yard work to keep the XYL happy with.
For those with children it is more difficult.

WB0WAO asks what are the best contests for a beginner to get his feet wet?
Any contest is practice...as far as "Domestic" Contests, I would say the
biggest are
SS
NAQP
NAS
and, of course there is the
FLORIDA QSO PARTY!
Florida works the world and you work Florida - including mobile running
helter skelter through the 67 Florida Counties...
Check out the website at:
http://www.qsl.net/fqp
It is a little over a month until the next running of the FQP, and the
Florida Contest Group is determined to activate all 67 of Florida's counties
once again...chasing the mobiles is a blast - we even have a spot on the
website giving tentative routes for the mobiles in case you are looking for
a specific county!
There is a great cover story in NCJ this issue by K8MR talking about
mobiling in contests...like the Sweepstakes there's always the desire to
"Sweep" all of Florida's 67 counties so you have that to look forward to.
We have had submissions from all over the world including some large ones
from Europe...it is a state QSO Party run by contesters so it is "snappy"!
In case anyone was wondering, FQP2K2 is on April 27 & 28...making it only
45 days until the Florida QSO Party!
Yes I am tooting our horn - but I think it is deservedly so - our State QSO
continues to grow in popularity year after year because it is contester
based...and since we as the fixed and mobile Floridians are your target QSOs
we appreciate the rates you give us - especially us Mobiles who get the rush
when we cross a county line...mobiles can feel like the rarest DXCC entity
for those first few minutes after crossing a county line...its fun!
Check out the website, the Florida Contest Group invites you to play in our
sandbox next month....more details to follow on an e-mail reflector near
you!

Message-ID: <20020313120319.A31290@w9wi.com>
Am I blind, or naive?
I've been contesting for over 25 years, have operated from or at least
visited several of the best-known & most successful stations. (K4VX, K3LR,
N4ZZ, W0AIH, K4JNY (usually used with the W4PA call), W9YT in the 1970s,
among others)
The only place I have ever seen a power amplifier capable of more than 1.7kw
output is at work. (unfortunately the dual 50kw rig won't go below
66MHz and is only capable of A5 emission<G>)
Are there in fact contesters in the States running this kind of thing?
Judging from the operating ethics of a small number of operators it wouldn't
surprise me. But it's certainly nowhere near universal, or even common, at
least around here..

All:
Who can assist me with this?
Only on 10 mtrs, a few certain key sounds, "five" and "nine", specifically the
"I", kicks the amp offline.
The SWR is not an issue. Overdriving is not an issue. The transceiver output is
barely 50 w.
No compression seems to help. A hand mic was substituted for the boom headset
mic but the trouble continues.
Any hints?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] The Difference Between Rules and Ethics
Message-ID: <040401c1cacd$e4c05180$49eebfa8@mirage>
I think the discussion of spotting, self-spotting, and pre-contest marketing
efforts is a very good one to have in a public forum such as CQ-Contest.
This is an excellent use of the medium. Even if there is no consensus
reached, all of us will have at least considered the question and that
raises everyone's consciousness on the subject.
No one has suggested that K9PG/ZF2MM committed an infraction during the
contest. (Read ARRL contest rule 3.1.4 for the specifics of what is
prohibited.) What we are talking about - and is certainly a legitimate
topic - is contesting ethics of the single-operator genre. The addition of
packet and Internet technology sweeps away old assumptions about what tools
were and were not available to an individual before and during a contest.
Remember the old days when all we had to worry about were the infamous
long-distance phone calls?
Boiling the pre-contest issue down, it is unethical to encourage a specific
group to perform acts on behalf of or render assistance to a specific
station using methods that would not also be available to other competitors.
The concern is not really about the simple act of spotting a club member,
per se, but the support-your-buddy thing, which, must be admitted, could
really get out of hand IF somebody really intended to push that aspect of
it. In organizing the WRTC we worried about that A LOT and it frequently
happens. In WRTC-1990 logs there were clearly "pass the microphone"
incidents. The potential for serious abuse is why I think this issue got
the attention of "senior contesters". K9PG's own log stats show that he
didn't really get much from the marketing effort. However, I'm sure that
with the clever and inventive souls inhabiting the ranks of radiosport
contesters, the techniques could be refined to confer a much greater
advantage if there is not some kind of peer pressure today that it might be
a Bad Thing.
There are many other activities that tread into the grey area. Along with
exhortations to spot early and often (sorry, couldn't resist the Chicago
cliche...) what of special awards, certificates, promises of fancy QSLs, and
other things that increase the desirability of QSOs with one station and not
another in ways that have nothing to do with the competition? Some are
probably OK and others not so OK.
We have to ask ourselves if that great new idea enables us to perform more
effectively or does it deny another competitor a legitimate opportunity to
do so? These are hard questions.

If I was going to only operate 10 contests a year, they would be:
CQWW CW
CQWW SSB
NAQP CW (Jan)
NAQP SSB (Jan)
CW Sprint (Feb)
SSB Sprint (Feb)
ARRL 10m Contest
ARRL DX CW
CQP
IARU
Of course, I operate a lot more than 10 per year... :)
The Russian DX Contest is one of my favorites, but it never falls on the
right weekend for me. Also WPX SSB and ARRL SSB, but WPX CW is during prime
fishing season in Alaska, so I usually miss that.
They're all fun... do as many as you can!

The technical wizards out there will probably hammer me, but
it sounds as though a number of things could be going on. You
did not mention what rig you are using, and what you mean by
50 watts. BTW, my 91B usually runs with about 35w input
on CW.
It is possible that your exciter's internal ALC is not functioning,
allowing certain syllables to ramp and exceed the desired input
level. This can be a particular problem with some rigs when the
output is lowered to drive an amp, as with lower drive in the
exciter, alc may never be operating.
It also sounds like the loading on the amp might be a little light.
Try loading a little heavier and see if that calms things down a bit.
It's usually detection of grid current peaks that trip the overloads.
There is also the possibility that something in your antenna system
is breaking down on RF peaks.
This is the order in which I woukd attack the problem. If it is the
first one (depending on your rig type) you might have to run it at
rated power and swamp the input to the 91B.
Good Luck and 73

This has been seen before for other operations, some of them have been
traced back and summaries of results sent to contest organizers.
If the spots in question were entered from dxsummit (spotter call ends
with -@) the operators of dxsummit should be able to look up and compare
ip addresses of the originators to see if they were all the same. If
they came from a spotting node the sources could be traced and the sysop
asked to help if his node has logging capability like ar-cluster and
dxspider nodes do to get the ip addresses.

And to that I would add that creative marketing is part of what is makes up

Now if you really want to have fun with statistics and spots, analyze
this...
My database for this analysis goes back to 12/1/2001 and contains 256547
total spots. In arrl dx ssb my database has 24609 spots. Of those, 486
were made by spotters who only made one spot and that spot was during
the contest. Those 'unique' spotters spotted 313 different stations.
The recipients of more than 5 of these 'unique' spots were:
Dx count
PY2NDX 16
S53M 11
UA9YAB 10
PW0T 10
YP3A 9
JT1CO 9
5B4/R3CC 9
M0SDX 9
YL2LY 8
H7DX 7
SN8V 7
ZF2MM 7
This is not of course to cast any stones at those who show on the list.
I only offer it to show that maybe the spots of yp3a were coincidence...
but as was shown, at least one of those spots wasn't made by the person
who's call showed on it. The only way to tell for sure would be to take
the lists of spotters and find out if they made the spots or not.... if
anyone is really interested in tracing further contact me directly.
Btw, there are some interesting patterns. Including some that show a
high incidence of stateside spotters who's calls aren't in my latest
buckmaster database.

I noted on 40m during the ARRL DX SSB, where most contacts are split,
having to call on SSB down as low as 7025 made me feel a bit uncomfortable,
albeit still legal for us. It's kind of sad though, the only qrm down there
were illegal pirates. Generally its poor practice to use SSB below 7035 in
our region, but at least we don't encounter the OO style Stasi effect.
(off-subject, I'd recommend the book 'Stasiland' to see how bad it has been
in history).

Since K4OJ is doing such a good job of marketing the FQP, I hope that each time
you see a message from Jim (and others) encouraging activity in the FQP that
you also think about the New England QSO Party the following weekend.
Actually, since both Florida and the New England states have 67 counties, we

during the CQ WPX. (And only one station, XA5T, got it... based on the
reaction from the QSL manager, I've been convinced that it wasn't worth
doing again). Although done in jest, it certainly wasn't my intention to
run afoul of the spirit, let alone letter, of the rules.
Yes, it's a grey area, and had I been more cognizant of that last year, I
probably wouldn't have made that offer.
But I wonder... is saying "if you happen to work us on all bands, we'll give
you a certificate" something that needs to be prohibited? I know that one
M/M V2 team did that last year in at least one contest, for example, but
considering the number of transmitters QRV during that M/M effort, I'd have
real doubts that it gathered them THAT many extra QSO's.
So offhand, I'd say that if a station offers something of little or no real
value, like a "worked on 6 bands" certificate, it should not be an ethical
violation. Let's not squeeze all the fun out of things. Something more
substansive, though, should be be prohibited -- in short, anything that
gives the appearance of "buying" contacts.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] The Difference Between Rules and Ethics
I think the discussion of spotting, self-spotting, and pre-contest marketing
efforts is a very good one to have in a public forum such as CQ-Contest.
This is an excellent use of the medium. Even if there is no consensus
reached, all of us will have at least considered the question and that
raises everyone's consciousness on the subject.
No one has suggested that K9PG/ZF2MM committed an infraction during the
contest. (Read ARRL contest rule 3.1.4 for the specifics of what is
prohibited.) What we are talking about - and is certainly a legitimate
topic - is contesting ethics of the single-operator genre. The addition of
packet and Internet technology sweeps away old assumptions about what tools
were and were not available to an individual before and during a contest.
Remember the old days when all we had to worry about were the infamous
long-distance phone calls?
Boiling the pre-contest issue down, it is unethical to encourage a specific
group to perform acts on behalf of or render assistance to a specific
station using methods that would not also be available to other competitors.
The concern is not really about the simple act of spotting a club member,
per se, but the support-your-buddy thing, which, must be admitted, could
really get out of hand IF somebody really intended to push that aspect of
it. In organizing the WRTC we worried about that A LOT and it frequently
happens. In WRTC-1990 logs there were clearly "pass the microphone"
incidents. The potential for serious abuse is why I think this issue got
the attention of "senior contesters". K9PG's own log stats show that he
didn't really get much from the marketing effort. However, I'm sure that
with the clever and inventive souls inhabiting the ranks of radiosport
contesters, the techniques could be refined to confer a much greater
advantage if there is not some kind of peer pressure today that it might be
a Bad Thing.
There are many other activities that tread into the grey area. Along with
exhortations to spot early and often (sorry, couldn't resist the Chicago
cliche...) what of special awards, certificates, promises of fancy QSLs, and
other things that increase the desirability of QSOs with one station and not
another in ways that have nothing to do with the competition? Some are
probably OK and others not so OK.
We have to ask ourselves if that great new idea enables us to perform more
effectively or does it deny another competitor a legitimate opportunity to
do so? These are hard questions.

Top 10 contests here (and I'm considering each mode separately):
1. (tie) CQ WPX SSB
CQ WPX CW
(with my call, this is a surprise?)
3. ARRL DX SSB
4. CQ WW SSB
5. ARRL DX CW
6. CQ WW CW
7. Pennsylvania QSO Party -- sorry Florida QP, you got a long, long ways to
go yet to catch this grand old lady!
8. ARRL 10 Meter
9. California QSO Party
10. IARU HF Championship
Honorable mention: ARRL 160 & CQ 160 Contests, I would if I had an antenna
for the band; Breezeshooters Groundwave & Wireless Association of South
Hill's 2M FM Simplex contests -- two locals for WPA but both a heck of a lot
of fun and extremely popular here!

I believe the ARRL 10 Meter test gets the most entries of any ARRL contest,
but that's almost over for this decade because of the impending decline of
the sunspot cycle. I like the IARU because it is shorter and you can go
mixed mode if you like, plus this year it is combined with the World Radio
Team Championship. The CW Sprints (4 hours each, twice a year) are frantic
but lots of fun. WAE has lots of activity and the QTC feature adds a unique
dimension. The NA QSO Parties (twice a year in each mode) are also brief
and give you a chance to call your contesting compatriots by name, which I
find good fun, especially on phone.

It might not be correct to describe Italians as the most egregious example
of
running excessive power. Italians are frequently loud, and amplifiers
similar
to those used by the average DXer are probably important to this fact. But
if there were no 300W power limit in Italy then we would not be pointing an
accusing finger at Italy. A few other countries have similar power limits,
or
have had similar power limits in the past, which have been ignored to some
degree. I have frequently seen Heathkit SB200's, Collins 30L1's, etc., in
photos of stations in England, Canada, and Australia for instance. Japan
has "20W" limits that frequently are 200 to 2000W in practice. Italians do
not stand out in my memory as obvious cases of excessive power.

What a great weekend from the "little station that could", you know, the
station that "no one" thought about or considered in the scheme of things.
It just shows you, under the right set of circumstances, anyone or any station
can do superb things. It doesn't necessarily require tall towers, stacked
monobanders, multiple radios, and maximum brute-force power.
What it does require is hard, intelligent, and old-fashioned work thrown in
with the luxuries of packet spots and the like. I learned how to operate
without this "crutch" and have tried to instill those values to Mike and
whomever else that operates at K5NZ. We tuned the bands endlessly the entire
weekend, and I think the multiplier total we amassed from W5 proves that this
old fashioned hard work method of operating pays off.
We moved everything possible, we operated without regard for being tired, and
we encouraged each other throughout the weekend to keep pushing.
Above all, I'm extremely happy and proud to hand over the 5th District record
to Mike. Here's a guy who has done all the work himself, maintains the station
himself, and unselfishly offers the station to others to enjoy their hobby.
Mike, thanks for letting me be a part of this operation. This contest will live
in my memory forever, and there aren't that many that fall into this category.
I can think of only 2, now there are 3.
Thanks to everyone for all the Qs and the great time.
73,
Bill K5GA

NS3T noted that he "spotted" YP3A.
I've noticed that I from time to time make similar "spots".
I suspect these are Internet-originated & in the quest to have a quiet word
with the other "me", have attempted to contact those who run the OH9W
page, without luck.
I think I noticed K9PG "spotting" himself from ZF2MM in K5TR's recent
post, so I suspect there may be much more of this going on.

Hi gang !
I'm doing a talk on contesting for the Boulder ham youth group - a bunch of
very gung ho 8-17 year olds. Some of them already know the basics of
contesting - they have done FD, SS, a few hours of ARRL DX, etc.. For the
rest, this will be a bew experience.
Anyone have a set of PowerPoint slides they could share with me, to use as a
starting point for my talk ?
I'll be doing this talk on Saturday of WPX Phone at an excellent, HF-capable
QTH, so I intend to make this very interactive.
Thanks and 73,

Howdy all,
I've spent a lot of time reading the posts and absorbing all of the
information flowing (Nothing like getting 129 new Emails in a day!).
Incidently, I had dinner with Paul, K9PG the other night. We had a
long discussion about the string of posts on the reflector. Here's my
take on the subject:
In my mind, Paul is really smart. He figured that great contest scores
don't come from working all the big stations, but from all of the
additional smaller stations, or occassional contestors.
So, several years ago, Paul started going through his logs and sending
Emails to folks who worked him in the past and reminded them that "XYZ"
contest is coming up, and you've operated the contest in the past, so
please get on and make some QSOs this weekend...
This is something he's done for a while. Sometimes (in the case of
Sprints) it is very effective in generating more contest interest and
activity. Sometimes (as it was for ARRLDXSSB) it did not help much.
He only worked 44 stations of the 139 Emails he sent out.
Some DX stations love getting Paul's EMails. It's like a calendar
reminder of an upcoming contest. Some would have operated anyway, but
occassionaly he gets extra DX stations to get on and operate. This
benefits everyone.
Never has he asked them to "only work Me". His goal is to increase
activity for the contest in general.
Same goes for the SMC. I am amazed at how the SMC has evolved over the
last few years. 500 members, Wow! I truly believe much of their
success is due to Paul's bubbly enthusiasm for Contesting in general,
and it seems to rub off on other SMC'ers. These guys (+gals) actively
recruit new members, provide mentoring and support to new contesters,
and encourage competition and comeraderie. It sure looks like they
have fun doing it too. What a wonderful combination!
Personally, I think the only thing Paul is guilty of is a Passion for
Contesting.
I just wish he'd move to Texas. :-)
73's,
Scott - KI5DR

Very interesting, Jamie.
According to a QRZ search this morning, the first two spots:
> K4FWC 21246.5 YP3A YO1828 02 Mar 2002
> K7LPK 21246.5 YP3A vy gud sig YO1844 02 Mar 2002
are bogus calls, not even issued!
So, I would say you have something here.

Ron,
As one of the members of the "M/M V2 team" you refer to, which obviously is
V26B, I can say that it probably did make a very slight difference in our
score. My guess is that it's very small as this sort of thing appeals to a
small percentage of the ham population and we only get a handful of requests
for them. Your doubts are correct. We have done this for several years and
the same few people seem to go for the certificates year after year.
However, we did not ask anyone to solicit other QSOs for us or to spot us on
packet, or to do anything aside from themselves to look for us in the
contest. Also, we do not advertise this certificate on the air. This is
usually communicated via DX bulletins etc. well in advance. I would say
that it's something we don't think much about - especially during the
contest!
We have a few stations who do let us know during the contest that they are
working towards getting the 5-band, or 6-band certificates. Comments like,
"This makes 5 bands, where are you on 20?" happen frequently, but as I'm
sure anyone would imagine, it's really a small percentage of the time. It's
nice to hear that from others as they call in. They're having fun, and so
are we.
Now, if we were to attempt to plan some sort of scheme whereby we rewarded
those who spotted us the most, or something to that effect, we'd be guilty
of expanding the number of operators performing functions that gain our
operation qsos. This would in effect place operators for our operation well
outside the 500m circle (or whatever it is these days) and thereby we should
be disqualified.
The bottom line is that it's against the rules to ask people to spot you -
even before the contest. Letting others know you will be on the air is just
that - information.
73,
N5NJ / V26O
V26B operator

Oh and who is UOL5Y !
Aside - I suspect that having you station spotted may have as much or more
value in some contest than using spots. The notion of an assisted category
is a bogus notion unless it includes "being spotted" as well as "using
spots".

Leigh,
SB200s and equivalents are considered fairly small amplifiers in the UK
today. A pair of 3-500Zs are fairly standard, but more people are
moving over to 3CX800s/4CX800s.
I can think of a few good reasons for having an amplifier that will
produce more than the legal limit. Here in the UK our limit is 400W but
my amplifier (made by Linear Amp UK.... no connection etc etc, but can
be recommended....) is capable of much more than 400W. Why would I want
that you may ask.....
RTTY contesting which has got to be the most severe test of an amp!!
Even a TL922 gets quite warm running an RTTY contest at 400W (the power
supply gets warm). My amp runs really cool at the 400W level on RTTY so
there is much less chance of failure during a 48hr event. The last
thing I want 40 hours into the contest is amplifier failure!!!!!
Hopefully running the amp well within its limits will prevent failure.
If an amp can last through 48hrs of RTTY contesting, it should walk an
SSB or CW contest!
To get 400W out of my amp requires approximately 20W drive which in turn
means that the spurious outputs and other rubbish from the FT1000mp are
greatly reduced. So, with the radio running well within its limits and
the amplifier well within its limits, hopefully the spectral purity of
my signal will be that much cleaner. The recent discussion on OO
reports and out-of-band emissions when operating close to the band edge
should be a wake-up call here.....
Plus, if the UK ever raises its power limit, it's only a matter of
turning the drive up a little bit more to achieve the new level instead
of having to change the amplifier to remain competitive....

Say you are AA1AA and you want to spot DX0DX under identity of BB1BB:
You go like this.
dx/bb1bb 14000.00 dx0dx Contest
And the spot will appear as if it was posted by BB1BB. This works on
CLX based Cluster nodes. Dont know about others.

Ten years ago, in an high band SB effort during an ARRL DX, there was
no problem to nearly double the first day QSOs number during the second
one, generally there was not enough time along 48 hours to log everyone
that was active, even running 6 or 8 per minutes for hours and hours.
In recent years this was not any more possible, and the second day
brought an average of half QSOs than the first day.
During the last ARRL DX ssb, in an SB 15m I hardly reached one third of
the first day with QSO number, in sunday.
In other words, the second day was mainly a ?dupe contact day? with
horrible rates and always the good same signals calling me back.
So much poor that for a while I thought to give up with such a pain.
Although the first day had excellent conditions with propagation, the
second one was not bad at all, good enough that ten years ago with the
same propagation and equipment I could have logged double than it
happened this year, I?m absolutely sure about this.
My question is: with nowadays bad trends, so much time compared with so
little correspondants, is it still a matter of best operators, I mean
fast and accurate, or we are along the way to favour average ones with
best setups, locations or peculiar conditions ?
Wouldn't be one day a more appropriate period lenght to have fun, rates
and beneficial to pull out the best ops ?

Bob,
If I left you with the impression that I objected to the certificate
practice (and I'm one of those who was quite glad to earn one), my
apologies. I may not have phrased that as well as I could have.
Something like the V26B certificates are fun, and should be, and I don't
have a problem with them. But as I tried to say, they don't neccesarily add
much if anything to your score; for example, I had a bunch of people that I
got on 4 bands during the ARRL DX, and I actively looked for most to make it
5 purely for my own sake (the exceptions being those EU stations I needed on
80 -- come Sunday afternoon, knowning I wasn't going to be on the last hour
or so, there's no way). And it was a lot of fun getting that 5th QSO
(except for one case where one stinker just had to spoil my fun, berating
me -- on air -- for not having 160, so I couldn't claim a "true" sweep, just
a modified one. Well, there's always someone...)
In any case, from what I've read and heard directly from K9PG, it may be
fair to say that some of the people who were spotting ZF2MM got a little
carried away. So if this is the case, a word to those responsible might be
sufficient, and I believe he's taking care of it. 'nuff said.

Ron,
As one of the members of the "M/M V2 team" you refer to, which obviously is
V26B, I can say that it probably did make a very slight difference in our
score. My guess is that it's very small as this sort of thing appeals to a
small percentage of the ham population and we only get a handful of requests
for them. Your doubts are correct. We have done this for several years and
the same few people seem to go for the certificates year after year.
However, we did not ask anyone to solicit other QSOs for us or to spot us on
packet, or to do anything aside from themselves to look for us in the
contest. Also, we do not advertise this certificate on the air. This is
usually communicated via DX bulletins etc. well in advance. I would say
that it's something we don't think much about - especially during the
contest!
We have a few stations who do let us know during the contest that they are
working towards getting the 5-band, or 6-band certificates. Comments like,
"This makes 5 bands, where are you on 20?" happen frequently, but as I'm
sure anyone would imagine, it's really a small percentage of the time. It's
nice to hear that from others as they call in. They're having fun, and so
are we.
Now, if we were to attempt to plan some sort of scheme whereby we rewarded
those who spotted us the most, or something to that effect, we'd be guilty
of expanding the number of operators performing functions that gain our
operation qsos. This would in effect place operators for our operation well
outside the 500m circle (or whatever it is these days) and thereby we should
be disqualified.
The bottom line is that it's against the rules to ask people to spot you -
even before the contest. Letting others know you will be on the air is just
that - information.

When I came back from Gitmo and Navassa in 1972,
I was invited to speak at the Southern California
DX Club in Los Angeles that fall.
The current CQ Magazine had just published an
Editorial by Jim Hathaway, lambasting high power
usage by hams, and stating he personally knew of
hams running in excess of 15,000 watts.
At that SCDXC meeting, during the new business,
a ham stood up and asked that the club should
censure Jim, for lying about W6's amplifiers,
because "Jim knows perfectly well hat I can't
get more than 13,800 watts out" and sat down.

Of course! I'm not suggesting that we all have to become monastic hermits
and conceal our identities with voice scramblers to submit single-op scores.
Is the certificate or QSL available to all callers? Has the solicitation
been widely advertised? In the case of encouraging activity, anything that
encourages others to be active and participate fairly and equally is a great
idea. K1XM and KQ1F are well-known for their beautiful photo QSLs and many
operators make a point to contact them for "this year's" models. But they
certainly don't say, "work only us", and the resulting activity benefits all
competitors - good for them!
The shoe can sometimes be on the other foot. Conversely (pun intended), a
single-op with a bad reputation for QSLing can also create disincentives to
make QSOs, for example.
Here is a personal example of my own... I was at one time considering
sponsoring a NW regional "SS Sprint" that would be a three-hour competition
for WA, OR, ID, BC, etc. stations on 40 and 80 between 9 PM and midnight.
The idea was to increase activity on the low bands by stations that
otherwise would not be active and counteract some of the advantage on those
bands enjoyed by the 1-2-3-4-5 districts. After some consideration, it just
seemed too much like stocking the pond with local ops unlikely to work much
outside the region and I let the idea drop. Now maybe the idea of the
three-hour nighttime category for all entrants would be a good idea.
Anyway, you get the idea - it would facilitate the making of QSOs that were
likely to be unavailable to others.
We will not all make the same determination of appropriateness in all cases.
However, the awareness that there IS an issue to be considered will improve
the sport and quality of competition.

So what constitutes "substantive"? Is a bottle of Maderia wine for working
s a station on multiple bands "substantive/" How about the CA QSO Party
where the top out-of-state scores receive a bottle of CA wine. Do you
disqualify the entire contest for that? I must confess I did not declare it
on my tax return. How about a tee-shirt for working 100 Italians (running
only 300 watts of course) in the WAIP Contest? Maybe we should do away with
door prizes at Dayton. And, maybe forget the free hats at Yaesu. Say, what
about the freebie Kenwood log books? Once you go down this road, it ay a
hard one to navigate without running into some potholes.

Actually, running a 1.5 KW amplifier at 400 W will generate lots of
heat, unless the amplifier can be loaded very lightly, a tricky thing
on SSB, and probably impossible on 80 and 160. If you load a 1.5 KW
amplifier normally, then reduce the drive to 400 W output, the tubes
dissipate about as much power as at full output, though the power
supply does not. Running a TL922 in the low voltage position helps,
but it still won't be efficient at normal loading. To efficiently
run a 1.5 KW amplifier at 400 W with the normal loading capacitance
and drive power, the plate voltage would have to be reduced to about
half the normal value.

If the incentive (whether it be wine or logbooks) is advertised publically
and is freely available to all, I see no problem. I believe that would be a

Another interesting tidbit in the ZF2MM (vs. 8P5A) packet saga. If one
were thinking maliciously, one could also provide misinformation via
packet to make life difficult for a contest DXpedition.
For example, I happened to be tuning across 8P5A when a packet spot
for AP5A hit the screen. All of a sudden, poor Tom was inundated with
dupes ruining a perfectly good run. I'm sure the busted spot was not
malicious in this case, but it could have been...

Subject: [CQ-Contest] More Contest Spots
Message-ID: <005b01c1cba5$29c80020$5f20fccd@jvpcb01>
My first note raised questions about why my call (NS3T)
had been found as "spotting" YP3A during a recent contest.
It prompted a number of responses and led to some further
investigation, albeit on a very limited basis.
K1TTT ran the database of the spots from DX summit for
the two ARRL DX contests, focusing on spots that came
from "unique" calls - meaning that station only spotted one
DX station during the entire contest.
I quickly reviewed spot data for only three stations, simply
because they had come out on top of K1TTT's review:
PY2NDX, S53M and UA9YAB.
PY2NDX had over 40 spots during the ARRL SSB contest.
Three of the calls are not active.
W8GKL 21306.0 PY2NDX PY0035 02 Mar 2002
WB0YUI 21306.0 PY2NDX PY0051 02 Mar 2002
WB2GHJ 21408.6 PY2NDX PY2233 02 Mar 2002
What is interesting is that W8GKL and WB0YUI were the
first two spots for PY2NDX for the contest, both in the first hour.
and both from calls that are not active.
S53M is a different animal. I did not find any bad US calls,
but there were a number of spots from foreign DX during
the contest, including several with S5 calls. There were also
an inordinate number of spots by W3LPL.
UA9YAB raises many more questions. In the ARRL CW
contest, there were not that many spots:
N7UJZ 28092.9 UA9YAB arrl UA90144 16 Feb 2002
W6AGH 28093.9 UA9YAB UA90234 16 Feb 2002
WB0WQS 28093.0 UA9YAB UA90240 16 Feb 2002
N7HIY 28015.4 UA9YAB test UA90318 16 Feb 2002
W7WAS 28044.9 UA9YAB UA90331 16 Feb 2002
VA3DX 28081.1 UA9YAB UA91158 16 Feb 2002
WN9O 28062.5 UA9YAB UA91306 16 Feb 2002
N7HIY 28073.0 UA9YAB test UA90237 17 Feb 2002
W0ETC 28073.1 UA9YAB UA90239 17 Feb 2002
N8NR 28073.0 UA9YAB Zone 18 UA90300 17 Feb 2002
KK1S 28047.0 UA9YAB cq z18 UA91118 17 Feb 2002
K1NU 28152.4 UA9YAB UA91351 17 Feb 2002
Four of the calls had only one spot during the contest: the first two,
N7UJZ, W6AGH along with W7WAS and KK1S. All are active.
In the ARRL DX, UA9YAB had 13 unique spots.
N7UJX 28444.0 UA9YAB UA90123 02 Mar 2002
KC7WL 28505.0 UA9YAB UA90149 02 Mar 2002
W7YCB 28505.0 UA9YAB big signal ARRL z18 UA90248 02 Mar 2002
W6TGM 28505.0 UA9YAB big sigs from z18 Siberia UA90409 02 Mar 2002
KB1VC 28555.0 UA9YAB arrl UA91234 02 Mar 2002
W0WSX 28618.0 UA9YAB UA91314 02 Mar 2002
K1WSC 28625.0 UA9YAB UA91441 02 Mar 2002
K7ZNC 28515.0 UA9YAB UA90154 03 Mar 2002
K7YUH 28515.0 UA9YAB big signal from z18 UA90421 03 Mar 2002
W1MVZ 28465.0 UA9YAB UA91144 03 Mar 2002
W1TOS 28580.0 UA9YAB UA91236 03 Mar 2002
K5TCX 28580.0 UA9YAB cq test UA91249 03 Mar 2002
K5TXZ 28434.0 UA9YAB UA91336 03 Mar 2002
If you notice, the first two spots of both contests were uniques - and the
first call was almost identical, N7UJZ (CW) - N7UJX (SSB).
BUT..what raises more questions is that the following calls did not show
up when I checked the FCC database:
W7YCB, W6TGM, W0WSX, K1WSC, K7YUH, W1MUZ, W1TOS,
K5TCX, K5TXZ. None of those are listed as active.
Add to all that the following two spots by UA9YAB:
UA9YAB-@ 28555.8 UA9YAB cq for sked with vo2wl 1524 02 Mar 2002
UA9YAB 3788.0 UA9YAB cq arrl QSX3812.0 UA91207 03 Mar 2002
I invite more hams to check to see if their calls have "spotted" stations
during contests. VR2BG pointed out that somehow ZF2MM had
spots made by his own call K9PG. I checked, and there were
four of those. He didn't do that - but someone else did.
All of this information was gathered from the DX Summit database
search.

Might I point out that my intention while writing was not to find fault with
the operators
in the UK, Canada, etc. My personal views on the use of amplifiers in the
countries
that do not allow 1500W PEP output as the USA does could probably be
interpreted
as being considerably more liberal than the views of the governments within
those
countries. I'd frankly like to see a level playing field in contests on an
international
basis encouraged both within the rules and regulations of governments and
contest
sponsors. For instance, I often wonder about the senselessness of rules
that dictate
that a contact between a station in Rome and in the Vatican is one point in
the
CQWW, while a contact between two distant points in the United States, or
two
similarly distant points within Russia, China, Australia, etc., count as
zero points,
even when they are not in the same CQ zone. No, I don't find fault with the
CQWW
organizers for staying with a winning formula.
I simply have a more cosmopolitan viewpoint regarding amateur radio contacts
and their relative merits than the viewpoints that are held by DXer's in
general who
hold great pride in their country totals that, after all, are based
primarily on boundaries
that are merely political. I sense that political boundaries may be less
important in
the distant future, and differing power limits across borders must surely
pass in the
future as well. I'd also like to see the privileges of licensed amateur
operator's
defended as if they were rights to some degree. Being victimized by local
city
government's rules and regulations that violate the spirit of PRB-1 (yes, I
realize that
this is only the rule of law in the US) has made me quite strongly aware
that
governments abuse authority and violate the rights and privileges of amateur
radio
operators to a much greater degree than the population in general.
In defense against abuse of amateur radio privileges by governments, I'd
also
like to suggest that anyone who reads this and has the ability to should
familiarize
themselves with the proceedings between the FCC and two former amateur radio
operators -- Herbert Schoenbohm and Kevin Mitnick. Yes, I realize that this
does
not seem on first glimpse to be an international issue. However, I believe
that it
truly is... In the case of Herbert Schoenbohm there may be something that
each
of us can do to advance our own personal views on the subject. Neither of
these
two are personal friends of mine, but I believe they are on the front lines
fighting
the battle against governmental abuse of power against amateur radio
operators
and very much defending my own personal rights. And, there may be something
that many outside of the US as well as inside can do in their support.

CQ VK contesters,
I'm going to be in Australia from 27th March until 18th April touring
around the country. Are there any contesters out there that would like
to down a few VBs and exchange a few 'war' stories? I'll be starting in
Sydney but after that is still in the planning stages.....
I don't suppose there are any multi-op efforts around the Sydney area
for the CQ WPX SSB contest that needs an extra operator?

Message-ID: <000f01c1cbc0$4d936830$0200a8c0@k1ttt1>
While we were talking about spotters who only made one spot in the whole
contest there was a mention of stations who spotted the same station
many times. Well for the ARRL DX SSB test I went through the database
and came up with these numbers:
Spotter Dx times spotted
HA5IW HA5KDQ 42
W3LPL VP5A 19
W3LPL 9A1A 19
KF2ZG ON7DR 18
N9US ZF2MM 17
W3LPL 9A7A 15
K6PFF UA9UHD 13
EA2TJ EA2URE 13
RK3QWA 5B4/R3CC 13
G0MOK NY6DX 12
HB9CQL HB9DSO 12
PA9JP PI4ZOD 12
UA9KGH RK9KWB 12
AE9B RX3RC 11
W3LPL RU1A 11
W3LPL OH5LF 11
WC4I VP5B 11
K4JA-4 9A7A 10
RM6A KC1XX 10
W3LPL ZF2MM 10
W3LPL LY7Z 10
W3LPL EA8ZS 10
W3LPL OM7M 10
W3LPL DL6RAI 10
W3LPL OH4A 10
What do these tell us??
First, W3LPL makes a lot of spots!
Second, stations that cq a lot get spotted a lot.
Third, stations that spot one other station a lot more than anyone else
stick out like a sore thumb.
To make the first line more interesting, consider the following:
HA5IW also spotted 2 other stations, once each
HA5KDQ was spotted by 5 other station, once each
For all of you who are now ready to lynch ha5iw, and are wondering who
in the world ha5kdq is... note that all those spots were on vhf or uhf
bands, apparently in some European vhf/uhf contest. (same for the
groups of spots for ea2ure, hb9dso, and pi4zod)
Which brings up the fourth point... you can prove anything with
statistics taken out of context.

"or have had similar power limits in the past"
There was a time that the power limits in Canada were significantly
lower
than the US limits. Note that I am not pointing an acusing finger at
Canadians
regarding this, but defending the Italians as being in line with the
worldwide
trends. I didn't see the lower Canadian power limits in the past as
reasonable,
nor do I view lower power limits in other countries as reasonable.
I'd
prefer to see consistent power limits worldwide, just as I'd prefer to
see
an end to human rights abuses by governments worldwide, and I'm
willing
to be outspoken about it.

Hmmm, well I was way bored at work :-) so I decided to do the same. This is
what I found:
DX-SUMMIT Spot Database:
WB0WAO-@ 28388.1 UA3AGW ARRL vy loud 1359 03 Mar 2002
WB0WAO 14239.0 YO4RUI YO0400 11 Mar 2002
To say the least, I was quite suprised! The YO spot I DID make a few days
ago at the stations request, but the UA3 spot I did not make!!!!! I did
work that station at 1357 on 10m on the 3rd during the contest, but I could
not have made the spot - the 'puter in the shack is not online! It runs WFW
3.11 and is not internet "capable". The ONLY way I can get online from home
is with my WebTV (forgive me!) that is in the living room. To check DX
Summit or to make a post, I have to get up and go to the living room, turn
on the WebTV, log on, etc. I have for obvious reasons, not made many spots
at all! Sometimes I do go check DX Summit, make a few notes and then get on
the air, but never during the 'tests. So, the bottom line is that someone
"bootlegged" my call on the cluster as well!

Not a chance of that happening. Just think, the original purpose of dx
clusters was for contest spotting! I had to work hard to convince the
first few sysops to keep them on the air between contests so the
frequencies(they were all rf connected at that time of course) were kept
occupied and users could learn how to use them before contests... after
that features like qsl databases, mail, and other nice dx'ing features
were adopted by the weekday non-contest users.

While being a contester myself and usually using the cluster during contest
and entering the appropriate category, I still will maintain that the sun
does not revolve around contesters. There are other amateurs besides
contesters who use the DX clusters.

Yuri:
Who are you going to get to operate the Cluster nodes if they have to be
shut down during contests? It takes a lot of time, money, effort,
dedication, and, often, a big tower, to operate a cluster node. Many of
these are at stations which enter contests in multi-operator or
single-operator-assisted categories. Why? Because they built the nodes to
help them get spots sooner, and to enhance the capacity of the network by
adding nodes which accomodate more users without overloading the existing
nodes.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: The DX Cluster network
primarily exists to provide spots during contests. I'm not talking about
what most users use it for. I'm talking about what the node builders built
the nodes for. If the message from the contest community is that the
cluster system is not wanted during contests, then in a few years there
won't be a system at all, except over the internet.
I think that by having different categories that everyone can choose among
depending on their taste, we have approximated a level playing field as to
spotting assistance. Yes, that doesn't eliminate "packet pilups" on
non-assisted DX stations, but I can think of a lot of things that are
different from 20-30 years ago, and most of them are for the better. Packet
may be inconvenient for those who choose not to use it, but I can't think of
a better way to reduce overall activity than by eliminating it altogether.
(Unless we really want to discourage all the casual DX'ers who make a couple
hundred QSO's in each contest just by finding new band-countries on packet.)

I don't think this is a viable solution especially given the fact that some
clusters are private. The only thing that makes sense is to "eliminate" the
assisted class. After all, as many other have pointed out, when we moved
from hand keys and bugs to keyers -especially those with a memory - we did
not create an assisted class. And when we moved from separate rx/tx to
transceivers and no longer had to zero beat we did not create an assisted
class. For reasons that are beyond my comprehension ( and maybe someone can
fill in some history) cluster spots are perceived as assisted and not simply
a technology change. I suspect, the origins of this idea are rooted in the
concept of the spotting station in the M/M class -- I suggest that it is not
the same. It is obvious that the notion of the assisted class has to be
revisited - BUT how do we convince the power that be to re-examine this
issue? Now there is the question :)

1. Is a bottle of Maderia wine for working an individual station on all
bands excessive? Unless it's really cheap wine, and it doesn't sound like
it, yes, I'd think so.
2. Is a bottle of California wine to the top out-of-state scores for the Ca
QSO Party excessive? No -- and not relevant to an individual station
offering an out-of-the-ordinary benefit for working them. This is offered
by the sponsors of the contest, and is an incentive for OOS stations as a
whole to operate -- not to contact one station in particular. And how does

3. A T-shirt for working 100 Italian stations in the WAIP? Again, if this
is being offered by the contest organizers, not relevant.
4. Dayton prizes, Yaesu hats, and Kenwood logbooks? Oh, c'mon, that's not
even got anything to do with a contest.

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] The Difference Between Rules and Ethics
So what constitutes "substantive"? Is a bottle of Maderia wine for working
s a station on multiple bands "substantive/" How about the CA QSO Party
where the top out-of-state scores receive a bottle of CA wine. Do you
disqualify the entire contest for that? I must confess I did not declare it
on my tax return. How about a tee-shirt for working 100 Italians (running
only 300 watts of course) in the WAIP Contest? Maybe we should do away with
door prizes at Dayton. And, maybe forget the free hats at Yaesu. Say, what
about the freebie Kenwood log books? Once you go down this road, it ay a
hard one to navigate without running into some potholes.

Message-ID: <20020315094330.A7092@w9wi.com>
Well, that was interesting.
Got six responses in private email, only one went to the reflector.
(actually it was a copy of one of the six sent privately)
One other op had also never seen an excessively-large amp & didn't believe
any were in operation in his area. However, others in the same area were
certain that such amps *were* in use.
Powers between 3 and 15 kilowatts were cited. Several responses indicated
they knew of people running overpower but that those people weren't
contesters. Some, however, did know of overpower contesters, past and/or
present. Nobody admitted to using excessive power themselves...
Now I'm not concerned about amps capable of reasonable headroom. Can you
make 2-2.5kw? That's reasonable. (of course, we expect that you actually
*operate* it at 1.5kw) Similarly, something capable of 500-600w at an I or
G station where the legal limit is 300-400w is not a big deal. To be
literal, there's really nothing wrong with having a 15kw amp as long as
you're letting it loaf at legal power. (regulations may differ in your
country!)
Heck, I used an IC-765 in the QRP category in ARRL DX - it's capable of 20x
the legal power in that category - you have to take my word for it it was
cranked down to 5 watts..

they were not self spots, just one station spotting another one lots of
times. This is fairly common even over here on some vhf/uhf bands,
since I am pretty far from a big city I hear the same stations over and
over on some bands so that is all I have to spot.

Have what you have -
self-spotting and crazy pile-ups on DX frequency after every spot.
Or try to find a way to catch those cheaters.

I have a FL-2100B here, and after a few hours in a RTTY contest,
it used to get so hot (running 250 watts)the power would start to
drop off. I found a couple of old computer power supply fans and
set them on top of the amp, and now it runs cool throughout the
entire contest. Cheap fix.

It seems funny that we got along for YEARS without PacketCluster

Unfortunately this is not the case but it is not known to many hams!
100 W radio uses 200 W pair of transistors which exibit minimum distortion
levels at half power output.
Spurious transmitter products increase at both lower and higher RF power
levels.
20 W of RF drive is very close to transistors idle DC dissipation and clean
RF output can only be achieved in class A only offered by FT1000MP MK-V
radio.

Hello all
On behalf of all the participants in the Wisconsin QSO party I'd like to
thank all the stations in Wisconsin, the US, Canada, and DX stations who
got on to provide some contacts. I noted many well known calls from all
over spending at least some time in the contest. DX activity seemed to be
at a high at least for me. I operated from 3 counties Sawyer (fixed), and
Price and Rusk mobile. Hence I have two seperate entries. The story behind
this is a power failure at my cabin. I worked HA0DU and LY3BA from all 3
counties, G4KHG and OK2EC from 2, and EA8AKN, EI4IS, HB9DAD, OZ8ABE,
DL6KVA, G3WPF and HA2AC from one. Thank you all very much.

I do not belong to the club or have anything to do with running the
contest. I'm just a happy participant.
See you next year !!

Russian DX contest starts in 4 hours from now. See the details and results
on www.rdxc.org
According to the statistics on that site there were 6500 participants and
over 1200 logs sent last year. The yearly increase inthe number of
participants is about 25%. There are very few contests that can boast over
1000 logs sent. Hope this year there will be more participants from North
America.
See you in the contest. We will be MS as RF9C on all bands.

How do you know HA5IW wasn?t the op off HA5KDQ? I have noticed

Yes correct. If this happens during a contest it should be up to the
contest sponsors to do something about it, i e enforce rules etc, but
so far as far as I know they simply ignore it.
By the same token stations that are splattering or have excessive
key clicks should also be DQ?d by the contest sponsors since they
sabatoge for other competitors but ofcourse nothing is done.
Things like this has made me loose intesrest in contesting, it?s not
skill that pays off any more just money and sharp elbows and a behaviour
that doesn?t promote the old saying "hamradio for international friendship",
it?s sad but IMO it?s a fact.

There are bunches of reflectors on www.qth.net. There's an ICOM one but I
don't know about one for the 781 specifically.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fact that CQ WPX SSB is on
Easter weekend this year. I know in the past they have used the
excuse that Memorial day and Thanksgiving are American holidays
and much of the participation in CQ WPX and CQWW DX CW are outside
the USA. This is different because Easter is celebrated practically
everywhere in the world. IMO another stupid decision by the folks at
CQ....

Anyone know off hand if this can be done for CT, also? I'll gladly put
together the files for the PA QSO Party if it can be.

Don't usually rise on these, but isn't it time that we STOP calling
people names who do work for FREE organizing these contests.
The weekends are fairly well packed and do not move their slot from
year to year. If you knew anything about Easter, you would know that
it never falls on the same Sunday from year to year. It follows the
Jewish festival of Passover, which is timed on a lunar calendar.
Furthermore, Christianity is hardly the religion of a majority of the
world populace.
All of which may explain why nobody except you brought it up.
Guy.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] more fun with spot statistics
Message-ID: <15b.aa4e426.29c53f5a@aol.com>
looking at those spotting stats, the VP5 or the 9A1 spotts from W3LPL with
19 or each. Most likely it was probably 2 spots per band on each and most
likely spotted the first time they turned up tht day.
Those stations lucky enuff to enjoy the luxury of having a "mult spotter" are
making most of these stations and not the run station.
all spots appreciated however

That seems kinda like a cheap shot to me. Exactly what were you

There are plenty of Muslims, Jews, Hindi, and others that do not
celebrate Easter.
Of course, for me, having WPX SSB on Easter weekend means only a
part-time effort is possible....

I think you misread the post.
1) What does it mean to you when I say >>ALL OF WHICH<< ? Would that
not be ALL of the points above, ALL of the points taken TOGETHER,
including the ones you didn't quote?
2) Christianity IS a minority religion. Miniscule presence in China, a
very minor presence in India/Pakistan, or the Arab-speaking world, all
those easily accounting for a majority of the world population.
Christian holidays are NOT universally celebrated around the world.
And even among Christians, different churches do not all celebrate
Easter or Christmas on the same day.
WPX is a world-wide contest. I am sure there are other contests that
fall on important feasts/holidays in other countries. It would be
impossible to avoid all holidays everywhere. why are ours any more
important than anybody else's?
The cheap shot belongs to the original poster.
73, Guy.

But there are plenty of locales, where as a vestigial artifact of
colonialism the four day weekend is still a secular holiday even though it
may not have any particular significance to a majority of the citizenry as
a religious celebration.
As a consequence of the coincidence this year, participants will find
either: (a) they have more time to devote to WPX than in other years; (b)
they have less time to devote to WPX than in other years; (c) they have the
same amount of time to devote to WPX as in other years.
It's going to help out some and hurts others; leaving things alone is not
necessarily an unenlightened or uninformed decision.

Just to set the record straight, Christianity is by far the
religion of choice for most of Europe, North America and South America.
It also represents 33% of religious adherents worldwide.
http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html
Given Christianity's predominance in NA and EU where contesters are most
populous, I'm quite certain it IS the religion of the vast majority of
worldwide contest participants.
Sometimes we do choose priorities in life other than contests
which is very healthy in my opinion. I also choose to celebrate
my Wedding Anniversary rather than the CQ WW CW when it falls on
November 27, but that is a personal choice...as is observance of Easter.
There is little doubt in my mind that holding the WPX SSB on Easter
Weekend (also Jewish Passover) hurts overall participation but that is
CQ's choice and one can hardly argue with their logic of always keeping
the WPX SSB on the last full weekend of March.

We had to compensate for the slipless night so most of the scores from
Russiand will show up later.
At RF9C we made this year around 2860 QSO for the total score of 8,7 million
points.
Unfortunately the propogation on Sunday was not as good as on Friday. That
is why it seemed like there were very few NA stations participating. Noted
anyway that several (like N2NT, K3WW and some others) had well over 1000 QSO
after the first 12 hours of the contest. Hopefully it was enjoible for all
those who took part seriously.

You guys are losing me on this one. It seems all quite simple to me. If
you are going to be in the contest fine..if not..that is ok also. I must do
some research and see when Easter is going to be on WPX weekend again....so
I can unsubscribe for a few days.

FYI, from my Religion 101 class:
Religion: % of World Population:
Christian 32.4
Muslim 17.1
Hindu 13.5
Buddhist 6.2
Jewish 0.4
Technically speaking, there is no "majority" world religion as no single
one has a percentage greater than 50%. But while Christianity many not
be a majority religion, it is the largest and I'de bet that it is the
majority religion of world contesters, with most contesters living in
the U.S. and Europe, both hot spots for Christianity.

Might it be possible to slide this religious tripe into the same pot as
politics, and away from ham radio contesting ?
About the only connect I can make between religion and ham radio is that
the religious TV channels are a good reason for TVI to continue.
Beyond that, I for one could care less about religion, or any similar opiate.
Now then, if you have some thoughts on how to come back to Earth in second
life as a nice Yagi, I might listen to your religious views,
otherwise...........
Can we get back to a more base stupidity.
I know we have the means within our august body.

I would suggest that if everyone's score goes down 32.4%, then
the scheduling of WPX was a problem.
If scores don't go down, it's not.

This thread demonstrates once again that there is very little we "can't"
argue about.
The stats about adherence, however, are skewed: they don't include those who
choose not to be religious.
Be that as it may: Given that religions typically use different calendars
than the rest of us in setting dates for religious observance (except that
most commercial of all holidays, Christmas,) and the resulting "floating" of
holiday dates, I don't believe it is possible to design a contest calendar
that:
1. is predictable year in and year out.
2. doesn't result in conflicts certain years.
3. follows the Gregorian calendar (indisputably the most widely followed
calendar).
Unless you want to put the contest calendar on the Julian system. Which
would mean you'd NEVER know when a contest is supposed to be held.
So instead of calling people stupid, perhaps we could just accept that some
decisions are unavoidable. And perhaps we could accept that "our" take on
the world isn't necessarily everyone else's.

Thanks all for the info on the most "popular" 'tests. And TNX to Igor,
UA9CDC, for the info on the RDXC 'test. Had a great time and will do it
again next year!!
Now my NEXT question is about logging software...
I take it there are 3 "main" ones - CT, NA, and TR. I am running a 486
166MHz 'puter with either DOS or Windows For Workgroups 3.11 - nope, no
WIN 9x - and seriously doubt that I will be using rig to 'puter or rotor
control interfaces. I will probably use the CW interface when my CW
gets up to "contest speed". There is no packet cluster up here in this
area of Michigan - "Up North" - as of yet, but who knows someday there
may be? I have a couple of these 'puters, and may want to network them
together as the YL wants to operate in contests as well when she
upgrades as a multi/multi or multi/2R. Also, no CD-ROM drive on the
'puters either.
So, taking all of the above into account, what would be the group's
suggestion on the "best" one of the 3 for me to use? I am kinda leaning
to NA as it seems to be the most "inexpensive" and has the capability to
allow me to create templates for contests.
See you all in CQWPX! Have to work the night of the 31st, but should
get in a decent amount of time in the beginning of the 'test.

Are they?
I mean, if you've crossed the line at 300 watts, why stop at 1.5 kW? Why
not go to 3 kW, or 10 kW? After all, if you're breaking the rules, you
might as well break them good, right?

If Italy had a 1.5 kW power limit, I'm sure there would also be less
excessive power use (beyond 1.5 kW), period. If you haven't crossed the
line, there's less of a temptation to go for excessive power.
>Italians do not stand out in my memory as obvious cases of excessive power.

I wonder if we need smarter spotting software.
Why couldn't the software keep track of the last 30 minutes or so of
spots, and then inhibit spotting of a station if it was spotted already?
That way, you could spot every station you worked while S & P. The
software would filter out the duplicate spots. That way, there'd be much
less conjestion in the spotting networks, since there would be a lot
fewer duplicate spots and a lot more unique ones.
--
My experience with spotting comes from NQ4I's M/M station. To keep the
packet window clear, I'll often delete spots that aren't applicable. Like
a spot for K3LR or W3LPL. I can't work them anyway. It's somewhat
annoying to see spots like this pop back up. If duplicates were filtered
out at origination, then we'd likely only see a spot every 30 minutes or
so.
Of course, this wouldn't help fix the spots with busted calls for
stations I've already worked. For that I need a button that says, "Ignore
spots for this station". (This would fix the K3LR or W3LPL situation)

Beyond that, I for one could care less about religion, or any similar

-0-
Writelog traps callouts in its band-scope window, doesn't reflect duplicates,
and drops spots out after a user specified interval. Not necessary to even
LOOK at packet, just point and click on the color coded callsign on the
bandmap. You can tell needed mults from unworked stations, and you can see
dupes.
Of course, it can't be responsible for the myriad of miscopied calls, and
typos that are committed. Fortunately, one can filter out BUST/callsign at
the node!

These days, most people would also include WriteLog as one of the
most popular contest logging programs. SD is also very popular in Europe.
You can read a review of contest logging software by G3CWI at:
http://www.qsl.net/g3cwi/contest.html
It is over a year old, so some details may be slightly out of date
(for instance, TR now has some very minimal RTTY support.)

We use DX Telnet as the spot sucker for a CT network...I know it has

I am still baffled though why you just do not have the spots showing that
you need from CT's filters....in band map format with an interfaced

CT filter option you are using - typically on day 1 all our rigs are set to

Uh, Jim you mis-interepreted me.
I was speaking of spots *OF* K3LR or W3LPL. Not spots of other stations
FROM K3LR or W3LPL.
In CQWW, I can't work K3LR or W3LPL for credit from the US. (OK, it could
be a multiplier, but I'm likely to get that anyway)
On the other hand, I'm very happy to receive spots from K3LR or W3LPL.

Come to think of it, the last couple of times at NQ4I's, the internet
packet gateway was set to filter USA stations.

The band map is nice, but it takes up a lot of screen space.

At a M/M, you'll have it set for stuff for this band only. I'll flip back
and forth between mults only or new QSOs only, depending on conditions
and my mood.
I can think of three reasons to delete a spot:
* I've already listened and I can't hear the DX.
* Spot is a busted callsign of a station I've already worked.
* Spot is otherwise superfluous (eg a "called-in" spot)
I end up deleting a lot of spots in the course of a contest....

I have been reading the discussion for a while,
for my knowledge, and if look through certain
webpages, I find amplifiers capable of excessive power
all over the world.
The reason why stations from Italy are louder in the states then other
Europeans are simply the better location.
They work stations with good reports I can barely hear
in northern-germany.
This phenomena already excists within Germany if one compares signals between

Message-ID: <025c01c1cee1$3e9a0810$934afea9@TL01>
Hello everyone. The recent discussions and belly-aching about Easter and
also that European RTTY contest butting heads with the Sprint got me to
thinking.
As unpleasant as the thought might seem, I predict contest consolidation is
in our future in some form or another. I would like to throw out the
question "what are the pros and cons of combining/eliminating certain
events?" I think we'll be better off down the road if we have kicked it
around much like we used to kick around the idea of using computers to log
with.
As a hypothetical for-instance, imagine getting all the sponsors of state
QSO parties to agree to hold their annual QSO parties during the exact same
period (and of course standardizing the exchanges). I can think of good
reasons to do this:
1. less clutter in the calendar
2. tons of activity
I can also imagine a lot of sacred cows being turned to hamburger. But
let's say it could be pulled off in grand fashion? That would be one heck
of an event. Could it be positive?
What is the downside?
Was this discussed already at a time when I was not paying attention?

I am getting it now....
So, if you had a "domestic"filter option to hide the W spots you would
prefer that....and
I also gather that you would like to have an option to limit the amount of
time a posting stays in the bandmap....
That is a whole different nut - seems like the software should be able to be
readily adapted as far as time showing for a spot...would recommend you go
to a dedicated reflector for the software you are using...i.e. NA Reflector
or CT Reflector and go from there.
73, now I understand your dilemma!
By the way did you know that it is only 40 days until the
Florida QSO Party....

Comments:
Friday afternoon @ 3 PM the station was ready, I was ready and cndx sounded
great. I was psyched! 6PM when I got up from my nap, I had chills, a bad
headache with 102 fever and lots of gunk in my chest. I had gotten my
daughters FLU! I knew I was in trouble because the SOABHP category is
extremely competitive and a real endurance event. If you are very sick, you
have almost no chance at winning.
I knew it was a race against time and I decided to take my offtime at 02z
on Sunday. I hoped that I could tough out those 26 hours until the
antibiotic, cough medicine and ibuprofen could take effect.
I had a BLAZING start on 40 with 94 q's by 0030 and 126 q's @ 0040 and I
entertained thoughts that I could make it to the end and break my record.
I started SO2R to keep up the rate and finished with a 167 first hour, but I
was fading very fast. By 0130 my fever was up to 103 degrees and when I
coughed it felt like someone was stabbing me in the head. I operated most
of the next hour wearing a parka and wrapped in a blanket with my head on the
operating desk.
Over the next 8 hours, whenever the chills and fever lessened I would try
SO2R but usually after about 5 minutes I was back to one radio without
tuning. I just didn't have any energy and the discomfort was intense.
When you are sick, you really notice just how draining SO2R can be!
Cndx seemed fabulous the first night, but then the bands seemed to fade about
14Z on Saturday. I had a lot of trouble keeping my concentration and keeping
up the rate. In one respect, doing very little SO2R made it easier to
concentrate on running, but I just couldn't stay focused and awake.
By 19z, I was just trying desperately to make it to my 02z planned offtime,
but the fever wouldn't diminish and the cough/chills were taking their toll.
I went to 40 @ 22z and had a decent hour (115) with a few LP JA's but then
the hallucinations started on top of everything else. Since I have not
had any contest hallucinations since the '87 ARRLCW, I knew that my body
simply couldn't take anymore and it was time to quit. I staggered upstairs
at about 0030z and slept until about 15z on Sunday.
I had 2891/356 at 00z which I was thrilled with under the circumstances.
I hadn't passed many guys to other bands nor actively tuned for much of the
contest with the 2nd radio, but despite that I was still on a record pace.
I felt a little better on Sunday (after 14 hours of sleep!) and operated
wrapped in a blanket. I just couldn't get anything going on Sunday and it
was still too difficult to actively tune much with the 2nd radio. Late in
the afternoon, the medicine started to help and I began passing guys and
actively tuning. This was becoming fun, but it was not the kind of
competitive effort that I had hoped for.
After the contest, I mentioned to Barbara, my XYL, that in the '93ARRLCW
I drove 270 miles with the flu and earaches to operate at KM1H when I was
even sicker. I operated 43 hours in that one and came in second, but needed
two days to recover before I could drive home. Barbara told me I was 9
years younger then and pretty foolish. She was right. I didn't feel too
proud after that!
Thanks to everyone for the q's and the QSY's and congratulations to W4PA
on his victory and to W9RE, N2IC, K9NS and others for their great scores.
Despite everything, I had a lot of fun and look forward to the 2003 ARRLCW!

Message-ID: <005e01c1ceec$751dde60$3829fea9@CATDISH>
The sixth annual Ontario QSO Party will take place on the
weekend of April 20-21st starting at 18:00 UTC on the
Saturday to 18:00 UTC on the Sunday. This contest
is sponsored by the Ontario DX Association.
The "OQP" is Canada's third largest amateur radio
contest! VE3/VA3 stations work everyone, while
stations outside Ontario chase VE3/VA3-land stations.
The contest takes place on all HF bands (except WARC)
both ssb and CW, along with the VHF/UHF bands.
There will again be plenty of multi-county "mobile" and
"rover" activity. There are 48 Ontario multipliers to
chase!
Last year saw a record number of entries submitted and
we hope that we'll see another record number of entries
again this year!
Complete details are at http://www.odxa.on.ca/oqphome.html
There's also an OQP reflector that you can join by sending
a "blank" e-mail to: oqp-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Well, operating from the east coast, I will say that
I've never had my headphone-enclosed ears rattled as
much as I have from loud Italian stations.
Propagation, power, whatever...

I have been reading the discussion for a while,
for my knowledge, and if look through certain
webpages, I find amplifiers capable of excessive power
all over the world.
The reason why stations from Italy are louder in the states then other
Europeans are simply the better location.
They work stations with good reports I can barely hear
in northern-germany.This phenomena already excists within Germany if one
compares signals between north- and south locations.
Peter
Peter, you are partly right.
We have the same situation in a small country like Norway. If the country had
been turned upside down the North Cape would have been in North-Africa ! hi .
Our Eastern corner is on the same longitude as Cairo !
Sop when somebody elsewhere is reporting " they worked Europe " - one has to
be more specific ! hi
After all Italy is almost North- Africa.But they have always been mostly phone
people , and back in the dark ages with AM , we used to say they had 100 W
transmitters and 500 W modulators!
Now they just turn up the processors !! Hi

State QSO Parties bring out a lot of "casual" contesters. These are
typically folks who don't work a lot (if any) other contests. Folks "in
state" are the wanted people, and they can have fun with running
stations in a more relaxed and laid back style. This might get them
comfortable enough to take on the challenge of giving a "major" contest
a try ... a new contester is born!
Combining QSO Parties produces just another "Sweepstakes" or other
domestic contest ... which we already have. The activity levels (and
frustration) will be more than the "casual" contester would want, so he
keeps his radio off ... a potential "new" contester is lost.
Of course, if there are several smaller State QSO Parties struggling to
stay alive, I see no no problem with them combining efforts to help
boost activity ... but combining 50 QSO Parties, plus the VE's ... is a
bit much.

Right! And you might consider comparing the comment field as well.
Consider, say a 40m spot that has QSX 7220. If the DX changes his
listening frequency (QSX 7240), you'd want that spot to go out.
So, I think an outgoing filter would compare the callsign, frequency
(perhaps matching within some small epsilon region) and comment with the
incoming spots for the last 30-60 minutes. If it's a match, the spot
would be supressed and not sent out.
With such a filter, you could spot every station you work while S & P and
not fear about flooding the spotting network with superfluous spots.

Folks,
I'm most grateful for the flood of inputs for the first two columns of the
"Contesting on a Budget" series. Now I need your help for the upcoming
column on used equipment.
I'm sure many of us have some interesting stories on their experiences in
buying used gear.
- Where do you look for used equipment bargains?
- What resources do you use to determine what piece of equipment you want to
buy?
- What are words in ads that raise your suspicions about a piece of gear or
antenna?
- What are the most high-risk and low-risk items to buy?
- How do you arrive at a fair market value?
- Package deals, is it usually better to go this route?
- Any comments on the on-line buying and selling?
Your comments on any or all of these questions are most welcome. If you have
a story that you feel may embarrass a seller, I will keep the callsigns out
of the article to protect the innocent. (and the guilty)
Thanks in advance for your inputs. Happy contesting and high rates!
Paul, K5AF

In addition to the down-sides already mentioned, the lifeblood of state QSO
parties is the mobiles they bring out. Many of these are out-of-staters who
help in more than one party per year. Combining all of the parties into one
big hallabaloo (is that a good word?) would significantly decrease the total
interest level, IMO.

Here in this part of the world Italy is always louder then most other Europe
stations. They usually come crashing through any pile we may have. They
seem to have propagation to Alaska for 24 hours a day on 20 meters during
the good times. I have seen Paul, NL7V, who speaks Italian, work "I" stations
for hours on end here during the multi-op contests.
England seems to have the weakest path to this part of the world.
The other countries all have a few stations that seem to be louder then their
countrymen, contest after contest, as location and good antennas makes a big
difference no matter where you operate.
Italy has a lot of hams in a good area of the world for radio. They probably
have
more then their fair share of good near sea water locations. All this probably
makes contesting a little more fun which adds incentive to put up better
antennas,
etc. The "big" amp stories probably comes from the local internal battles among
those that need to be louder then anyone else. Same as we have here in the U.S.

I don't understand this "fear about flooding the
spotting network" - if you are S&P'ing to generate
spots, and working them, 60 an hour is hot and
insignificant in volume, I would think.
Do you run a node, and if so, is volume a problem?
And if you filter out your 15:30 spot, because
you spotted that station at 15:00, then I'll
never see that station if I come to that band at
15:31 because of your posting filter.

Hello,
I have tried this with YEASU digest, but no answer, now trying here, hi.
I have a FT990 with inbuilt power supply. I would like to use it on the
field. Only chance to power FT990 is using electricity board. Any chance
to use cars battery to power FT990? Does YEASU have something? I
remember that my old FT902DM had battery contact (13.8V) apart of that
it had inbuilt power supply. Thanks

Message-ID: <D418C6B4A038D611BF1900508B2CC5D91EBA60@1-CRDF-MAIL>
Hello, I use a Kenwood TS-850SAT at home for DXing and Contesting. I
am currently building up my CW speed/proficiency after 8 years off of the
radio. My main activities now are SSB and using CW comes 2nd at this point
in time, but may soon change to even usage. I am looking for opinions about
the optional filters that can go into the radio's 3 optional IF filter
slots. There are 2 8830 slots and one 455 slot. Based on your experiences
with contesting and dxing what would you opt for?
I am currently thinking of purchasing all Inrad filters. The models
93 (455khz - 1800hz SSB), 95 (8830khz - 1800hz SSB), and 103 (8830khz -
400hz CW). The radio has stock 2700hz filters in both IF's that I currently
use for SSB.
Lastly... I currently have one Kenwood YK-88C-1 (8830khz - 500hz CW)
filter currently installed in the radio. Would you agree that I should sell
this filter and replace it with one from Inrad? I have read many people
consider the Inrad filters to be better than the Kenwood filters but have no
basis to judge this on personally.
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tim N6WIN.

Hello dr contesters !
I am not really a newcomer (except on this list), but I have
a (stupid ?) question : Regarding the way that contests are
now corrected, should the QRP stations be logged as /QRP
or not ? Will the robot, let's say for the major contests (CQ +
ARRL), recognize AB1CD and AB1CD/QRP as the same station ?
Sorry for trouble if this question as already been posted on the
list by the past.

I never log /qrp and wish people would stop sending it! I'm very happy to
work the QRP ops, but sending /qrp just slows things down in my point of
view.
Always impressed with the good QRP signals on 80/40 from EU! (all it takes
is a good antenna and some propagation)

For cw, I like a pair of Kenwood 500 Hz filters. I used to have a TS-830
with both Inrad 400 hz filters, and I thought it was too narrow. You
really had to ride the RIT to pick up callers even slightly off frequency.
For SSB, I like the stock Kenwood 2.7's. I have an Inrad 1.8, but hardly
ever
use it. I think it hurts intelligibility while reducing bandwidth, and the
net
result is negative. The 850 does not have passband tuning as such, so you
will
probably have to adjust the carrier set point with the narrow ssb filters.
Even
after doing that, I still think it hurts more than it helps.

Yes, yes and YES. The INRAD filters are the best.

They are fabulous. Nice sharp skirts that really play on cw and the phone
ones REALLY make the slope tuning on my 940 work exquisitely on SSB.

I have used an 850 with both Inrad 400 hz filters and another
850 with both Kenwood 500 hz filters. The Inrad filters have a bit
steeper skirts, but either combination would be good.
I've never found a need for the 1.8 SSB filter.

I like the pair of Kenwood 500Hz filters. I used to have a TS-830 with a pair of
400 Hz filters, but it was a little too narrow. You really had to ride the RIT
to avoid missing callers who were even slightly off frequency.
For SSB, I like the stock Kenwood 2.7 filters, with four or five clicks of low
cut cranked in. I have an Inrad 1.8
in one of the IF's, but find that, while it noticeably improves selectivity, it
hurts intelligibility
of the desired ssb signal. If you do get the narrow ssb filter, you will
probably have to adjust the carrier set point frequency. Even after doing that,
I find that the loss of intelligibility is too much for my liking.

Those who find life long enough for QRP can have their way. However, announcing

===================>
Herve,
To my mind, it really would not matter as to whether you place the QRP
addition to your call or not.
Good operators will know how to log you properly.
Recognizing and receiving the QRP additional with your call will not really
slow a good operator down.
Sometimes it might serve as that little bit of "extra" to draw attention to
your call.
For every benefit of putting the QRP addition to your call, others will
find a detriment to same.
If I were operating QRP, I would not use the QRP additional to my call, as
placing it within the call would seem to draw away from the drama of the
pursuit, but others might differ on this philosophy, as well.
Bottom line, I don't think there is a right or wrong answer.
Sort of like clipped letters in a CW exchange; does it help or hurt - only
the phantom knows, with the possible exception of the professional amateurs.

Tim,
I have used almost every combination possible in the 3 TS-850's that I've
owned. I bring one or more of them to Antigua for contests.
I have settled on two sets of 3 filters that I install depending on the mode
I'm going to be operating.
For SSB I use:
-the stock 2.7's (very wide) ( these are built in to the radio)
-Inrad 2.1's in both IF's (Very steep skirts) (in the 500 positions)
-a Kenwood 500 Hz CW Filter (so I can work some CW +/- the contest) (in the
270 position)
For CW I use:
- The 2.7's
- Kenwood 500's in both IF's
- a Kenwood 270Hz filter
The CW configuration matches the 850's display.
For SSB, I had a Kenwood 1.8KHz filter that I tried in place of the CW
filter, but could not hear any difference between it and the Inrad 2.1
filter.
I would suspect that the Inrad 1.8 might be too narrow - except maybe for
wide CW or RTTY or really extreme SSB circumstances. The 2.1's are very
restrictive. While you're operating you don't notice how tight they are,
but when you switch back to the 2.7's you realize how limited the frequency
response was.

Bob N5NJ / V26O

The same thing happened to me. I think a few individuals must have reserved
large blocks of rooms for their clubs or friends.
As a result Susan and I will not attend the Dayton for the first time in 18
years. But I am sure that doesn't matter much to the hotel (or the
Hamvention). We will stay home and save our money for antennas, rigs, etc.

There are several fishy things about the Dayton Crowne Plaza.
Last year I had a confirmed room, in writing. Took the precaution of
checking about five days in advance - it had gone - "no record"! My
confirmation slip meant nothing.
I have another written confirmation this time. I called at 8am EDT
sharp on that first morning, was put on hold for 50 minutes, and
finally got the next-to-last available room. Decided to check on that
precious room regularly . Called the Crowne Plaza national number,
only to be told that they couldn't help because the Dayton hotel
keeps all reservations locally for special events. Hmmmm.
My assumption has been that big DX/contest clubs were reserving
blocks before the individual booking deadline. Perhaps the true
explanation is sleazier? If so, how can I get in on the deal next
year?

Folks,
I have been operatingn QRP for several years.
It's frustrating, demanding but fun too.
I do sometimes sign /QRP but most of the time I don't.
The main reason I do is for QSLing purposes.
If I work someone and don't mention that I am QRP, then when
that someone gets my QSL then he is apt to forget to
put my call on the QSL as /QRP.
Sometimes those that do sign /!QRP do get an edge in a pileup
and sometimes without signing it you break the pileup
anyway. It's amazing what you can do.
Quite a few years ago when I lived in West Texas, a buddy of
mine had an Argonaut 509 with the extras sans amp. I kept telling him
that the rig was only half of a radio. One day he talked me into borrowing
it and using it in a contest. I did and believe me, I was astounded.
It was amazing!
Life may be too short for QRP for some people, but, I'm just
not in that big of a hurry nor am I big bully that has to be the very first
in line.
I've run Amps before, even had WF5E's BIG BERTHA 4-1000 for quite
a while, so i know the feeling in busting the pileups! I've been DXing for
40 + years
and am still 2 away from the HR. I'll get there someday. It ook me 30 + years
to get USACA-ALL COUNTIES but I got it. Oh yeah, I'm working the counties
again...this time QRP, of course...30 or so to go.
Another thing to consider is taht if you live in an area That is prone to
receiving
interference, you can run QRP all weekend and not have to answer the door
or phone.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] I won't log /QRP

I operate QRP in most of the contests I enter.
I enjoy it.
I don't use /qrp appended to my call.

I agree. It's their problem if they want to (1) extend the length of their
call, (2) extend the length of the time of the QSO, (3) increase the
potential for being miscopied, (4) reduce their rate, and/or (5) appeal to
the called station's emotions.
Believe me, there are enough suckers ...er...ops out there who will respond
the the /QRP bleating to make some QRP ops continue to use /QRP. Put the
blame where it belongs: On the stations who continue to say "who's the QRP?"
or send "/qrp?"
I think you are being unfair to a pretty significant ham population of
operators who aren't or may not be contest-wise as you. Their experience
has taught them that /qrp appended to their call seems to work for getting
them QSO's, so they use it. I don't hear them using /qrp in QRP contests,
by the way. :-)
You need to get on QRP-L reflector and express your concerns about their
usage of /QRP.
>Using low power means being last in the queue
No it doesn't. No QRO station is strong everywhere all the time and no QRP
station is weak everywhere all the time. I'm sure ... no, I know I've beat
out many, many ops in pileups who were running LP or QRO while I was running
QRP. Happens all the time.
/QRP isn't part of anybody's call, so logging it is totally
> useless.
>
Then don't log it.
duh!

Isn't this all sounding a bit like buying tickets for a rock concert? The
first umpteen rows are for the rock DJ's and their squeezes....the bulk of
the remainder go to the ticket houses who then raise the prices a magnitude
or two. The rest, you would be lucky to see or hear.
I was so laughing at Utah during the Olympics...here's this so-called
religious-oriented/-established State..no beer, no alcoholic beverages, and
who knows what other restrictions, but ticket-scalping of their citizens is
okay!

Quack's
I agree with the statememt that /QRP is just a waste of time. Look at the
nr of dits and dahs. That is equal to a 1x2 or 2x1 call. the /qrp usually
follows a 2/3 call sign. This really drags out a contact and if you miss
one of the letters in the person's call, they usually send the wd7???/qrp
again , I operated the Stew Perry 160 test and didn't send QRP once. In
that one it really wouldn't make any diff but in the WPX with high rates.
BIG DIFF.
The /QRP never makes it to my log for submission.

How can a thing like this be so difficult? A callsign is a thing
that identifies your radio station, i e from what country you
operate and a the specific person it belongs to.
If you dont operate from your normal location you are forced
to indicate so. Forexample OH/SM2EKM if I go to Finland.
If I work portable from my own call area in Sweden it would
become SM2EKM/p if call area 3 SM2EKM/3p or if I?m
mobile I use /m or /AM /MM etc etc.
It would actually be illegal ti sign /QRP /QRO /BATHTUB
/TRAINMOBILE /BICYCLEMOBILE or what ever
mickey mouse stuff like that.
An NO I will not log QRP either, or any other invented
mickey mouse thing by strange people.
Why not make it simple? If I work a contest what is the goal?
Yes, to make the QSO as quick as possible. How is that done?
Well, the fundamental part is to get the station you try to work
understand your callsign as quck as possible. How is that done then?
Well, NOT by giving /QRP or any other thing like that that will
confuse things, NOT by giving anything else but your call sign.
and please note MY callsign is not "Kilo Mike" or "Mike Two" or
"Echo Kilo" IT IS Sugar Mike Two Echo Kilo Mike and no
nothing else.
Why does people make things harder then needed?
73 Jim SM2EKM
PS: For pople that arent sure of what their callsign is dig out the
amateur licens form they once did get from the authorities and
read it one more time, your callsign will be on that paper
PS2: I wish we had more people like 9K2ZZ

I take my hat off to those who, quietly, work stations with qrp. More power
(pun intended) to their elbows, as some might say over here. I know of a
number of US stations with very high DXCC totals running qrp, but others
may not be aware of it simply because they do not add '/qrp' to their
'callsigns'.
Personally it has always been my practice to sign the call issued to me by
my licensing authority though I am bound to admit that, technically
speaking, from a particular call I made only three qsos with the exact call
specified in the licence and 90,000 with what I assume the licensing
authority really meant.
There is a number of operators who think that signing /qrp gives them
special privileges. They are allowed to call at any time irrespective of
the fact that a qso is already taking place and, when contacts are being
conducted at a quick pace, they can send their callsign for 60 seconds
without listening. Indeed there is no need to send the full call, mere
sending '/qrp' repeatedly should be sufficient for the DX station to stop
everything and attend to them.
In short they think that drawing attention to their being (?) qrp means
that everyone else should stop and wait for them. It's rather like the
'please listen for my buddy' nonsense aka 'lists'.
Real QRPers do not sign '/qrp'.

Why would it matter if a card comes back to you with the /qrp? Does
that make the card any more correct? How would the station you work
have any way to verify that you were qrp to make that qsl mean anything
beside that you made a contact.

Hi Hal. I've flown several times since 9/11. Here's a list:
-Baltimore, MD to Denver, CO
-Denver, CO to Bozeman, MT
-Bozeman, MT to Denver, CO
-Denver, CO to Baltimore, MD
-Raleigh, NC to Baltimore, MD
-Baltimore, MD to Raleigh, NC
I've used several different airlines and have been to a variety of
different sized airports. My experience is that if you are carrying the
rig on the plane with you:
-It's highly likely they will search the bag it's in/question you at the
medical detectors/x-rays.
-They will almost certainly search the bag it's in and question you at
the gate.
In my experience they seem to understand what cameras and laptops are
but a mobile rig might give them problems. My advice is to:
-Have the original copy of your license with you.
-Have a through and neutral explanation for what it is and what you
intend to use it for.
-If you can, find an advertisement for the rig in an AES, HRO, or like
catalog and bring the catalog along with you.
-Bring a power supply with you if at all possible so that you can turn
it and turn a few knobs for them.
-Inform them that you know you can't use it while the plane is in flight
(at least, without the pilot's permission).
Most importantly, try to take the questions and searches "in stride". If
they don't see you getting nervous or acting weird and freely giving
consent the odds are great that they will let you carry it on. Make sure
to have a good story for what it is and be open and candid throughout.
DO NOT bring along any screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. with you. If they
have to open it they will have all of these tool there but DO NOT bring
them with you.
I would also advise that you allow plenty of time to get to the gate/on
the plane (must more then what they recommend) just in case they do go
over it thoroughly and have a back-up plan for what to do with the rig
if they won't let it on. Also, although it's not PC to say so, you will
have an easier time making it through security if you are any of the
following, the more the more likely:
-Male
-White
-Not overweight
-Not tall
-Not wearing a lot of layers of clothing
In my experience that has been the case since 9/11. Just my $0.02. Best
of luck and 73!

Just line up.
Be exactly on frequency.
Call with your callsign sent only once.
No last two only calls.
Don't everybody call at one time.
Before the contest, make sure you are in the callsign database.
Make sure all packet spots are callsign correct.
Only send a 599 report.
I agree.
Putting QRP in with your callsign makes it just too hard.
Now then, you mobile stations, just don't even bother.

Well, in the mail today was a card from a JA for a qso in last weekends
BARTG and include was a new style IRC!! They are as big as a qsl card
themselves and clearly stated on the back (in about 30 different languages)
is the expiration date, 31-Dec-2006. So these new ones clearly will expire
but after checking again on the older ones I have, I can find no expiration
date. I'd check at the local post office but every time I bring one in, it
takes the whole office just to figure out how to spell IRC. 73

The best contest going by far is the Poison 'de Avril contest
which has been running on April 1st for some time (haven't seen
any announcement yet this year). You can operate any mode you
want, any class (make one up and be sure to win), make up your
own exchanges, etc. The neat thing about it is that you can
print up your own first place certificate or go buy a plaque and
get it engraved to show your are 1st place finisher, World No
waiting for results to be published in a magazine, then the long
wait for the prize. No limit on band changes or how many radios
can be on the air at the same time. Use packet and be S.O.
unassisted, legally. For a complete set or rules, contact Doug,
K1DG.

Hal:
Get an extra power connector or cable for the rig. Then get 2 battery
holders, each for 4 "AA" cells. Attach the battery holders back-to-back
with double-faced tape or super glue. Wire both packs in series to the DC
connector for the rig. This will provide about 13v, and will power the
receiver of most 12v radios for about a minute. That's OK, since all they
want is to see the front panel light up and noise come out of the speaker.
Even if you leave the radio on long enough to run the batteries down, after
an hour wait the batteries will be capable of the same thing again, although
for a shorter period. I change the batteries every trip. Even if they
don't like the battery pack, after you've explained what it's for, as long
as they've already checked the radio you can just toss the batteries out and
replace them at your destination and you're only out $5-$6. (A "stick" of
12 "AA" alkalines as Radio Shack usually costs about $8).

Message-ID: <007201c1d2c1$ba0fc000$59d6d6cc@scott>
Many have raised very good points as to why /QRP should not be logged. I DO
log the /QRP, however, mainly because I tend to log whatever was sent in the
same manner in which it is sent, AND because there is no way I'm going to
remember to put the /QRP designator on a QSL card unless I have some record
to tell me to do so.
I guess another reason why I log /QRP is because I know that some people
will make contacts using different power levels...didn't someone enter the
CQWW SSB 160m Contest in two separate power categories? I know a couple of
DXers who will work a DXpedition on all bands and then go back and work the
same group as a /QRP station...I agree that it makes just as much sense to
sign /QRO, but also agree that it sometimes helps in making a
differentiation between the different contacts (and keeps the person from
looking like a LID who is bent on making numerous insurance contacts).
And another confession...I'm one of the ones guilty of telling the /QRP
station to go ahead, thus helping to encourage those who sign /QRP to
continue the practice. Why? Not because I feel sorry for the guy, but
because for some reason it stands out. The same applies to the station who
uses unique phonetics. Right or wrong, "Itchy Underwear" on SSB is usually
going to get through quicker than "India Uniform" (and I'm sure these words
will come back to haunt me in the next contest...). As "Quack" said, /QRP
is often the only thing you'll hear of a callsign. Annoying, perhaps, but
true. Someone slap my hand the next time you hear me call for the /QRP
station or when I answer the station sending only two letters of his/her
callsign...
Of course, I believe the original question concerned whether or not omitting
/QRP from a given callsign was considered a logging error, and it appears
that the answer is "No."
It would be interesting to see the numbers of /QRP designations in CW vs.
SSB...I think spending a weekend sending KS4YT/QRP on CW would drive me
crazy; especially when I think about the number of times that a station I'm
answering will have already worked someone in the time it takes to send
KS4YT at a slow 25 wpm.
I agree that the best place for this subject is on the QRP reflectors, and
I'd be interested in seeing the various opinions expressed there. I guess
if someone wanted to create a backlash against the practice of signing /QRP,
we could all start sending /QRO and see the reactions. Of course, then
we'd have to come up with an appropriate designation for those in the 50-200
watt range, wouldn't we (or is my ignorance showing)? =)

I don't understand the confusion.
The contest will be held on April 1, same as every year. I announced the
full rules last night around 03Z on 20M CW. I am pretty sure VP6DI copied
them OK - even though I was running QRP I was on a nice clear frequency
around 14075.
For the record, there are no QRP categories in the Poisson d'Avril. Life's
too short, and we are all getting older. Some of us will actually get a
whole year older just during this contest.
I will win the P d'A again, same as every year. And I don't understand why
people would protest my winning every year and quit trying. After all, did
people complain when K1AR won the CQWW and ARRL DX contests all those years?
Oh, wait...maybe that's a bad example. Never mind.
I'll try to get around to posting some rules this week if the medication
takes hold. Or better yet, make up your own. I'm flexible. Winner in each
category I approve gets the secret password for Crowne Plaza room
reservations. I can't tell you now what the password is, but it's a kind of
a fish.
So if you think you have a category you can win, give it your best shot.

Hello All,
Thanks for all the answers about /QRP logging

not to speak about QRP or not (in contests or

Besides (out of topic, sri), I recently bought an

in France, so there is probably no interest here.

Hal,
If you find out you can take the rig on board, what you might
want to
do is get a 12V Wall Wart that can just supply enough current to power
the Transceiver. You can get wall warts up 2 to 3 amps if I remember
correctly
and that way you will be able to turn the rig on. There is no reason they
would
aske you to transmit that I know of.

Message-ID: <d.2414785b.29cf44cd@aol.com>
Hal,
here's a partial answer to your question re radios in carry-on luggage. In
February I flew to Tahiti from LAX (non-stop) on Air Tahiti Nui. I carried my
FT990 and assorted electronics in a locked Pelican case, as well as an Icom
735 in a carry-on bag.
My companion and I had a total of 4 checked pieces of luggage as well as
three pieces of carryon (including a laptop). On ticket counter checkin, our
checked luggage was randomly (yeah, right!) selected for X-ray while we
accompanied it. The Pelican case had to be opened and checked for explosives
or residue, but otherwise there was no issue.
On going to the gate my carryon with the radio (and a bunch of wire and junk)
was tagged for visual inspection. The radio was of no interest (neither was
the laptop). The Vibroplex paddles were of great interest however ... no one
quite knew what to make of them or for that matter my explanation of what
they were for ... "Morse Code?, you mean people still do that?"
No problems whatsoever ... of course I did have to give them my shoes, but
that's another story ... (I got them back).
On the reverse trip, things were even easier although all bags were X-rayed
leaving Papeete for LAX. No need to open anything however ...
All in all, I think that worrying about increased security re radios is
unnecessary. If you fit the profile you're going to be questioned and
inspected at some length, if you don't, you won't be --- radio or no radio.
73 and have a great trip

One thing to watch for if you actually try to cash in an IRC is the
postmark. My local PO actually has someone who understands them and has
refused to cash them for missing postmarks on the side that is supposed
to be stamped when you buy it. He has also refused them when he can
tell that the postmark isn't from the country I am trying to send the
card back to.

Message-ID: <3C9DF12C.6872@erols.com>
Hal Offut's post was a good one. I must add one small correction, though
as it deals with an important point.
Many have asked, over the years, about OPERATING their ham rig onboard
the A/C. Contrary to the popular understanding, the ONLY one who can
officially authorize use of transmitting equipment that is NOT certified
for use with the A/C in question is the CARRIER. It must be in writing
and must be from them.
The pilot, crew, or others cannot do this. They CAN restrict bringing it
on.. (and if an inflight emergency, then they have total command of the
craft and can allow it to be used, of course!) but the carrier is the
only legal authority who can grant you permission to operate.

Chuck K3FT
Tis a bit off topic for contesting.. but important detail, none the less.
I checked this with ARRL and carrier operators.

Probably because LP and QRO stations are more ubiquitous (both
individually and combined as a group) than QRP stations. Perhaps QRP
stations see this "rareness" as some sort of advantage and want to make
it well known (even though it isn't an "advantage" over their
competitors, other QRP stations). In this case by sending "/QRP", about
the equivalent of a 1x2 callsign on phone or CW in addition to their
real call.
Or maybe because QRP stations rarely break pile-ups when they do they
want it to last as long as possible, hence why they send "/QRP" and
often repeat their call several times :-) In my view, life's too
short for QRP and life's defiantly too short for "/QRP".

Message-ID: <NEBBIHDFILKFAICDBOGHAEMGDDAA.jljarvis@abs.adelphia.net>
Folks,
There has been some good advice, and some questionable on
this topic.
First, I have NOT carried an HF rig onboard since 9-11. But I
fly virtually every week, and I HAVE carried an HT, with no
difficulty, several times.
Prior advice is pretty much sound, about having your license
with you. Couple of things, though:
1) Visit customs, in advance, and get a declaration form which
permits you to list the inventory you are carrying with you.
They will stamp this with an official stamp. Carry it in the bag,
always. Get several copies of this, in case some bureaucrat wants
a copy for his records. Doesn't matter whether you're leaving the
country or not. It officially lists your inventory.
Include in that inventory ALL wire, headsets, keys, and
interconnecting cables. Be specific.
2) Place your tools in a checked bag. You can't carry them on.
3) DO NOT bring batteries jury-rigged to permit you to fire up a
radio which requires that you plug in the power supply. It's sketchy,
at best, and suspicious looking, at worst.
If they insist that you power the rig up, ask for an AC jack,
and get on with it.
If they want to see you transmit...point to the rolled up 40m dipole
made of #24 wire, in the bag...and say, I have to stretch this out to
transmit.
4) When approaching the X-Ray machine, advise personnel that they
WILL want to hand inspect the radio sack, as well as run it through
the machine. This sets you apart from the mainstream, and positions
you as a responsible party. Then be patient with them.
As for me....with an investment in carry-on bags for my 756pro & ic2kl...
I'm going the Pelican case route, next time. For 200 bucks, you can
solidly protect your radio, and not strain your back. And it's waterproof.

Message-ID: <20020324.153036.-214295.5.john-k1rc@juno.com>
Hi all,
Interesting thread.
As a QRP type since '78 (go 'head and snicker..),
I never send /QRP when doing hunt & pounce,
which is about 99.9% of the time.
EXCEPTION:
If the other stn sends /QRP then I'll send it and
make it a 2X QRP contact.
Like tom said "../QRP is not valid designator "
and IMHO a time waster. (no offense intended)
When I'm calling CQ (and beating off the wolves)
and things get slow, every once in a great while I'll
throw out a "/QRP" - just for the heck of it, to see if
I can hook that occasional stn feeling sorry for my
P-weak signal...
But, I doubt if I use it more than a dozen times
during a contest...
The way I see it, QRP doesn't mean send sloooow
cw. I'm constantly tweaking the speed knob on the
keyer to match the other station.
I've found that my call is most readable between
28 and 32 WPM. [exchange is faster]
By readable, I mean -no/minimum repeats-
and not messing up the other guy's "flow".
In the Army I topped out at 45WPM, but thats alot
of brain cells ago. Ifya know what I mean.
Just my $.02

Well, in the mail today was a card from a JA for a qso in last weekends
BARTG and include was a new style IRC!! They are as big as a qsl card
themselves and clearly stated on the back (in about 30 different languages)
is the expiration date, 31-Dec-2006. So these new ones clearly will expire
but after checking again on the older ones I have, I can find no expiration

That would seem to allow "/QRP". I do run QRP often, but
do not use the indicator - and find it very annoying when I
have to copy it along with someone elses call.
Now, how about all the mobiles that sign "/M"? Isn't that
a prefix assigned to England and thus illegal?

Let me add my experience.
On my way from Jacksonville, FL to Cayman Islands I experienced no problems
with my checked-in luggage (hard wall small suitcase). I was carrying a
IC-706, Alinco DM-330MV, Sony laptop, memory keyer etc.
On my return from Cayman, all luggage was "hand searched". After she opened
my radio case, panic set in. I showed her my ZF2LM license and Cayman issued
license to import the gear. After examining the documents, she thanked me
for it and closed the case.

:
: In my experience they seem to understand what cameras and laptops are
: but a mobile rig might give them problems. My advice is to:
:
: -Have the original copy of your license with you.
: -Have a through and neutral explanation for what it is and what you
: intend to use it for.
: -If you can, find an advertisement for the rig in an AES, HRO, or like
: catalog and bring the catalog along with you.
: -Bring a power supply with you if at all possible so that you can turn
: it and turn a few knobs for them.
: -Inform them that you know you can't use it while the plane is in flight
: (at least, without the pilot's permission).
:
: Most importantly, try to take the questions and searches "in stride". If

There is something fishy here. I know for a fact, the log I sent
to him last year had a higher score than he claimed. In fact I
found out that there were quite a few others that had higher
scores than he did. I sent a local operative of mine over to
check, and when he went into Doug's shack, he was caught,
frantically shredding some documents. All of the logs that had a
lower score than he did were still there, but as for others, they
all seemed to have disappeared. All that was found was a large
bin full of shredded documents of some kind. I was going to
register a complaint with the sponsor of the contest, but lo and
behold, I discovered it was Doug. He said he'd check it out, but
I never did hear anything. I'm not saying anything fishy is

Hi Doug,
Thanks for all the clarifications. We were somewhat confused before,
but everything is cleared up now. And do keep taking the medicine

Is this San Juan Puerto Rico?
If it is,
there are some restaurants and small lounges inside the new terminal
that will allow you to stay within the security control points.
It is a very new and modern terminal so indeed it has changed from 2 years
ago
Security is very strict but its very confortable. Enjoy your trip...
I suppose you are going to somewhere in the leeward islands..

No, it isn't illegal".
"M" might mean have more than one interpretation, based upon historical
context.
I have wondered about this, as well.
Sort of like an "N" .. is it a 9 or an "N" ??
It may get logged wrong, and scored wrong by the computer that is on

Communications interpretation being controlled by the software instead of

Just more flavor to be added to operator controlled contest communication

Since /QRP is a power designation, I suspect that people should
ALWAYS suffix the call sign with the operating power such as:

If one were mobile in, for example, Hawaii, any of the following would be
acceptable identifications using voice:
(callsign) mobile, (callsign) mobile 6, (callsign) mobile KH6 (or NH6, WH6,
AH6), OR just (callsign).
On CW, the words mobile or portable are to be replaced by "/".
The mobile or portable designator can be before or after the callsign,
except if you are a U.S. licensed amateur operating in Canada, in which case
the mobile or portable designator MUST be after the callsign.
A mobile station identifying on CW with (callsign)/M6 (or whatever number)
is in violation. (If you were operating in the U.K. under CEPT privileges,
you would identify as M/(callsign).)
Having said all that, everyone does it. If it's important, we could all
write to Riley. No, I don't think it's important.

It might be worthwhile taking his IRC business elsewhere--to another post
office, that is.
A post office in Webster, TX, which is on my way to/from work I have found
is a great place to transact IRC redemptions. The ladies there are super
and recognize the fact that it's not my fault when the IRC is misstamped or
not stamped at all. Now, I'm sure if I walked in with a bundle of the 'bad'
IRC's, they would draw the line somewhere. But, as long as it's only a
half-dozen a year or so, they take them without hesitation.
As to "the postmark isn't from the country I am trying to send the card back
to," what are you doing that alerts them to that? Maybe if you simply go in
to redeem the IRC's for postage without any outgoing mail in hand, it might
work out better for you. I've never been asked where I'm sending postage
from redeemed IRC's.

SECRETS OF CONTESTING, CH. ONE
As I pass through the twi-light years of my radio contesting career, I think
it important
to reveal some of what I call "Secrets of Contesting". Perhaps others may
find them helpful. I hope so.
Although it is perhaps all to easy to take a few hundred thousand contest
QSO's for granted, one may reasonably ask, "How can you possibly demonstrate
such a keen accuracy in REMEMBERING six or more characters, sent only once,
at a very high speed, and then faithfully re-transmitting them back, and
again accurately logging them?" For me, a Contest Forum virtually cannot
pass without having to expound on just HOW I have been able to do this, with
such inordinate skill, and for so very many years. If you truly wish to
learn this secret, please read on...........
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN that the simple act of CHEWING GUM will improve your
short- and long-term memory by up to 35 percent! It is believed that the
gentle exercise of chewing may be enough to raise a person's heart rate and
increase the flow of oxygen to the brain.
Chewing may also trigger the release of insulin in the body, which could
increase the uptake of blood sugar by the brain. It is firmly believed that
it is nothing IN the gum, but rather that the act of mastication (repeat,
mastication) that is making the difference.
Simply, if you chew gum, you will observe an increase in your heart rate of
five to six beats per minute. This may be unrelated to brain function, but
on the other hand an increase in the blood delivery of oxygen to the brain
probably increases cognitive function.
Also, chewing a stick of gum probably fools the body into thinking that it
is about to get a meal, increasing insulin production. The hippocampus, the
region of the brain that deals with memory, has insulin receptors which are
involved in increasing the uptake of glucose.
It took some trial an error on my part, to be able to make SSB QSO's at a
high rate, while actively chewing, but it can be done. It was very similar
to the practice I was required to employ when I changed from sending CW with
my right hand, to my left hand, some twenty years ago, but it can be done.
So there you have it. Chewing gum helps your memory while contesting.
Please let me know how it works out for you.

Hi Tim,
I spoke with Martin Jue (Mr. MFJ himself) at Dayton a couple of years ago
and I suggested to him that MFJ sell this cable pre-assembled as an option.
He seemed very interested in doing just that, but it has not yet appeared as
a product. I haven't seen anyone else offering a commercial unit either,
although some enterprising fellow ham may offer to build you one. (I
actually would offer, but you'll wait a **LONG** time for it since free time
is incredibly scarce these days.)
I made my own right after unpacking it and running the initial tests (I'm
too impatient to wait for anything!). It's "ugly" construction with the
circuit on a small board in an Altoids case (the modern day Sucrets
container for small ham gadgets). The worst part was scrounging the 8-pin
plug for the back of the keyer. It's an oddball connector that cannot be
obtained via a quick run to Radio Shack. In the longstanding tradition of
amateur radio, I wound up butchering a connector from inside a dead modem.
It's ugly, but it works!
The MFJ-434 is a VY FB unit, but I now use it little since I got a good
computer and WriteLog. It will remain close by, though, for those times
when Murphy decides to guest op at my station!

Well I haven't been much of a gum chewer, but I did chew tobacco for the
entire weekend in most of my better efforts over the years. For every new
mult I would ding the spitoon. Nothing like a fresh can of Cope before
sitting down to a CW contest. Now, I did give up that nasty habit again
recently. It's easy to quit. I've done it a hundred times.

It is GeoClock. I have used it for 4 years. Very good. The amateur
version gives you on map centered on your geographical coordinates. There
are 40-50 other maps; various views of the world, the different continents,
medium range regional views and closeups of the various US areas.
A special edition was prepared for us to take to XZ0A in January 2000. It
was extremely useful to have all this info available to not only the low
band stations but was used extensively by the upper HF frequency stations to
determine the greyline/daylight darkness areas while operating from a
different time zone on the other side of the world.

Or until you replace your slow computer with
a fast one; WriteLog could not properly send
CW without hanging in key down on a 750 MHz
machine; putting it back on the 350 MHz
(same clones, same Win 98 ME) has let me
continue to send CW without buying the

Hi Syl:
Unfortunately, for some of us, chewing gum is not a good
solution because our teeth are prone to crack and break
while chewing gum. Perhaps some other substance like
frequent food snacks could be substituted. Now, if only
I could get my XYL to go on my contest trips so she
could bring me the snacks. 73, John, K4BAI/8P9HT/8P9Z.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. I still can't copy the 45/50WPM Ops but when
they are calling me at reasonable speeds I usually can get most 2x3 calls
the first time when they are some what in the clear, on CW different story.
Some combinations really screw me up even when they slow down to 25 ???

So Jim, you are a major shareholder in Wrigley's?? HI Could not resist it!
73 Rag LA5HE
SECRETS OF CONTESTING, CH. ONE
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN that the simple act of CHEWING GUM will improve your
short- and long-term memory by up to 35 percent! It is believed that the
gentle exercise of chewing may be enough to raise a person's heart rate and
increase the flow of oxygen to the brain.
Chewing may also trigger the release of insulin in the body, which could
increase the uptake of blood sugar by the brain. It is firmly believed that
it is nothing IN the gum, but rather that the act of mastication (repeat,
mastication) that is making the difference.
Simply, if you chew gum, you will observe an increase in your heart rate of
five to six beats per minute. This may be unrelated to brain function, but
on the other hand an increase in the blood delivery of oxygen to the brain
probably increases cognitive function.
Also, chewing a stick of gum probably fools the body into thinking that it
is about to get a meal, increasing insulin production. The hippocampus, the
region of the brain that deals with memory, has insulin receptors which are
involved in increasing the uptake of glucose.
It took some trial an error on my part, to be able to make SSB QSO's at a
high rate, while actively chewing, but it can be done. It was very similar
to the practice I was required to employ when I changed from sending CW with
my right hand, to my left hand, some twenty years ago, but it can be done.
So there you have it. Chewing gum helps your memory while contesting.
Please let me know how it works out for you.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Re: I won't log /QRP
Message-ID: <20020325214556.92052.qmail@web14701.mail.yahoo.com>
This thread is just about dead, but let
me weigh in as a 99% QRP operator.
Over on the QRP-L reflector, you will find
the group there about just as divided about the
/QRP issue as you folks here. (Many of the QRP-L
folks are regulars in contests, and many
subscribe to this forum.) Some will be very
religious about the issue, on either side,
just like many people here.
You will find that most QRP operators in
*CONTESTS* will NOTsign /QRP unless maybe there
is several contests going on in the same
frequency space, as it might not be clear
from their CQ TEST DE which contest. But even
in that case most will probably not.
Where I see most the use of /QRP is not in
contests, but in DX PILEUPS. There (and I
am certainly guilty of this at times, but
not always) one is trying to stand out from
the pack, and many times than not it helps,
just like indicating /M or "mobile" helps.
The goal is to get heard, to get the contact,
and if your personal conscious allows for it,
why not? If the DX station refuses to hear you,
so be it. And if they refuse to put the /QRP in
the log, so be it. At least you will have
the main part of the call, which is all that
matters for a QSL. But once a DX station
stands by for a QRP station, realize that
the "rules" are out -- that station has
declared that they will favor one group
of stations over another. Your choice as the
DX station. Your choice as the would-be DX chaser.
Indicating mobile is not a requirement, at
least not in the US, yet how many people do
that? A very large percentage do so from
what I can tell. Why? Like with the /QRP
there are various reasons: (1) "tradition"
(or thought to be rules), (2) to stand out
in order to "invite" someone to reply,
(3) to "warn" the other users that you might
be a weak or intermittent station to work
based on changing conditions, or (4) to stand
out (as in the DX situation). A fifth
reason, pertinent to mobile only, is to alert
the other person to possibly expect a QTH or
location that is different than the home.
But let me add an interesting 5th reason
that is pertinent to QRP operators -- many
others (non-QRPers) DON'T WANT TO WORK US.
Yep! Surprised? Many QRP operators have
experienced the interesting phenomenon that
once we indicate the usual rig, antenna,
and power information in the QSO, suddenly
the other station has a reason to QRT.
Why, I don't know, especially when they just
told us we were 59 (or even 59plus). But you
would be surprised how many folks have
experienced it. By signing /QRP, the low-power
operator is essentially giving you a "warning"
that indicates that if you don't like talking
to a QRP station, then don't bother to answer
this one. Not that I do this, but I have
talked to many for which this is an issue
on both sides of the argument.
On the other hand, just as many QRP are very
proud of being a low-power operator. Signing
/QRP is a way to "proclaim" that feeling.
Like I said, over on the QRP-L list, you will
find that the QRP operators cover the full
range of amateur radio and share all types of
views on this. The only common denominator
is that they/we prefer to operate at 5 watts
or less power out to the antenna. (You will
find just as righteous a discussion over the
idea of whether a "true" QRP operator can
use a antenna other than a dipole, in other
words whether one is still QRP if you use a
gain antenna. You don't have those discussions
here, or do you? <grin>)
Just so you know, I DON'T sign /QRP in contests
(occasionally for DX, but not contests).
Cheers from Iowa.

Message-ID: <001d01c1d458$e0094900$9ed926cb@martinl>
One thing that I find a number of times is I copy ???@@@^RP. Sort of like
the end of a long call. So I try the RP go ahead. No response. QRZ.!...
&***%%%$$$#QRP. Aha think I, "the QRP go ahead". SHHHHQRP. Sorry the QRP try
again.SHHHHHHQRP. Please just call, just call !JX5shhhh5XXX! Okay JX5XXX etc
etc
It may sound like I am telling tall tales but it it would happen at least
once per contest where I copy the QRP bit fine each time given but the call
gets buried. When I ask them to leave off the QRP bit the call comes
through.
As for putting QRP on the QSL card. No way. You prove to the awards people
that you were running QRP. I have no knowledge of your power and I cannot
confirm that you were indeed running low power. I can only confrim date time
mode band and that we worked each other.
I am more than happy to work QRP stations. Their pleasure comes through,
literally sometimes. I recently worked a guy using one of these new Yaesu
radios with 5watts pedestrian mobile. We exchanged reports and his signal
was good enough for me to hear the pride and pleasure in his voice. He
didn't say it but it sounded like "a VK wow Yessssssssssss!"
I have refrained from commenting on the 300watts strong signals thread other
than to perhaps note that the comments from people who can legally run
1500watts seem a little ungenerous. Or perhaps they are scared of the
competition if the rest of the world operates on a level playing field on
power. The power hogs are known. They are all alligators - all mouth and no
ears !! They are not all, or even mainly, Italian's.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Help Me Brothers!
Message-ID: <02bf01c1d483$792a3ca0$6501a8c0@home>
With apologies in advance to any that may be offended by my profanity.
Help Me Brothers, for I am sorely tempted.
I come to you, my brothers, in my hour of need. Lend me your support, that
I may be strong and pass this aweful test. I am tempted brothers, tempted
by the devil most profane. Do not abandon me my brothers in this, my hour
of need.
I have never strayed from the path, my brothers, never in the 21 long years
of my service to the cause. My first radio, of course, was a TS-830S, and
from that point on I have stayed the course against all temptation. My
father, it must be said, allowed himself to stray. An Icom he did buy, and
sad was I for years to come. But I have been strong, and despite the
Devil's evil offers I have always been true. A pair of beautiful TS-850S's
adorn my alter today.
But I am tempted my brothers, tempted by an evil so strong that I am not
certain that I can sustain my faith against it. It comes to me in my dreams
my brothers, with images of dual receivers with separate AGC systems. It
comes to me as I walk my path in the daylight brothers. Why just today I
saw an image of the Enhanced Digital Signal Processing as I passed through
the garden. And the power my brothers, 100 watts output with either 120
volt or 13.8 volt power - all in a lighter weight package with no messy
external heat sinks.
Oh my brothers, I am sorely tempted. Help me my brothers, lest I fall from
the path.
And the price! The Price my brothers. Only $1999 this week only. Oh my
brothers, only $1999 for perhaps the finest contesting radio ever made.
Yes my brothers, it is the new FT-1000MP Mark V Field that tempts me, it
tests my strength my brothers.
Is there amongst you one, even one, who can turn me aside from this course?
Can anyone tell me that its receiver is poor, or that the IBDT system is
flawed, or that the VRF front end protection module is just marketing hype?
Can one of you save me, my brothers, from the terrible fate that lies ahead?
For it you cannot, I fear that I will fall from grace this week my brothers,
in time to use the dual RX capability on 40 meters during WPX SSB this
weekend. So if you can speak against this evil, do so now, that I may be
spared. It is not a lack of faith in my trusty TS-850S that is causing me
this pain, my brothers. No, not that. It is the terrible temptation of the
Mark V Field that comes to me - and I know not if I can stand against it.

Didn't see the start of this thread...but W5GN and K3PP had
traffic on the topic of Writelog not sending CW properly:
I run Writelog in an HP laptop, 700MHz Pentium III, with
absolutely no problem. CW runs fine. Voicekeyer runs fine.
All other functions work. I run Geoclock simultaneously.
Often, I have other programs running as well.
No hacks, skips or lockups in the cw seen.
Have run the same program in a 133MHz Pentium, with 128k dram.
While the human interface was a bit slow, it generated cw ok.
Soundcard died before I could test the voicekeyer.
My suspicion would be that you have another problem, unrelated
to the raw processor speed.

With respect to Father Neiger's retirement plans for his
bubble gum investment:
My wife teaches special ed children. Many have attention-deficit
issues. When it comes time for standard testing, she makes a point
of giving them (sugarless) gum to chew on. Tends to keep them in
their seats and concentrating, by providing a path for excess energy.
Test scores go up. Peggy got a kick out of Jim's description, but says
it's absolutely true.
Without engaging in speculation about our collective early-childhood
development, let me merely observe that some of us have shown difficulty
walking and chewing gum. So it naturally follows that chewing tends to
keep you in the chair!

Hi Jim,
The thread began as a discussion of the MFJ-434 voice keyer, of which I own
one. I mentioned that it's a FB unit but I rarely use it now because my new
computer has essentially replaced it, using WriteLog.
W5GN mentioned that he had some problems with WL on a fast computer. I'm
not sure why he had so much trouble with it, but his was fixed when he went
back to the slower machine. I have had superior behavior from WL on my
1.1GHz Celeron computer, in all modes and functions.
My instinct tells me that a fast CPU speed should be irrelevant, but
obviously, something was awry on his faster machine. Maybe someone else
could shed light on it.

Dave,
I've SEEN you walking and chewing gum...and you're right.
The mercury amalgam is no big deal.
On the other hand, consider the poor dentist, drilling
all that amalgam! It's a wonder K3WW can sit in the
chair for a full contest, or send code at all!!
Ragnar....you're right, silly season has struck.
Young David is the former neighbor of an old friend

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Honor Sprint?
Message-ID: <018801c1d506$df6d8020$74e6bfa8@mirage>
Hey, Sprinters! A while back I sponsored an "Honor Sprint" that ran under
the same rules as the regular North American Sprint, sponsored by the NCJ,
but without any of the formal log checking - honor-system reporting only.
It was "just for fun" and to keep the skills sharp in the long time between
February and September.
Is there any interest in running one again this May? May 12th (0000Z) looks
like a good date (although the CQ-M contest is also running that weekend)
and is the weekend before the Dayton Hamvention, so you won't be in the
doghouse for buying stuff :-) We could run for either two hours and make it
a 20/40-meter contest, or the full four hours and use 20/40/80.
Suggestions? Other options include making it earlier in the day and trying
a 10/15-meter format.

Not to bash, particularly, but isn't the trade-off for QRP to do by
technique, cunning, persistence what is usually accomplished with
power for lesser effort, particularly in contesting?
It would seem that interference problems are largely solved by staying
at low power, 100 watts, though QRP will definitely keep you off the
neighbor's radar. QRP contesters that I know do it for the challenge
of mind over watts, or because they have some deep-seated need for
self-flagellation.
That being so...
Why **NOT** point out to QRPers that zero beating the CQ-ing station
is another one of the mind-over-watt techniques that helps. And is
this not more pertinent coming from those who **LISTEN** to QRP
signals to work them?
Higher power stations get away with being off frequency by making up
with QRO what the IF filter has taken away with selectivity skirts. An
uncopiable signal dead on my frequency that matches my
sending/receiving timing will get some work to try and pull it out. If
it's up or down a bit, could just be another station elsewhere in the
world that is working someone that is loud where they are, and gets
ignored.
Not a matter of guilt, but how fine a QRPer can cut it to his own
advantage.
73, Guy.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] A couple of Observations
Message-ID: <004501c1d5d7$53a43580$ecdafea9@N1>
I pay close attention to the remarks made on the reflector when it pertains
to manufacturers and vendors. Most of this feedback has been given with the
best of intentions and can provide valuable data to us all in making future
decisions. With that in mind I would like to pass on a couple of recent
experiences.
#1 The Good News
I purchased a Force12 C4SXL. I was very pleased with the quick shipping and
handling of the product by the seller Texas Tower. And get this, they
actually thanked me for the business when we concluded our telephone call.
But the good news does not stop there. When I had some questions regarding
the construction and erection of the antenna, I called Force 12. Tom
Shiller took both of my calls and gave me the information I needed in a
polite and informative manner. He did not rush off to take another call or
try to brush me off but filled me in on some "extra" details that were very
helpful and clearly demonstrated to me the he and his company really cared
about their products and service. So thanks Force12.
#2 The Bad News
I had to send my IC775 off for some service. I had previously talked with
this repair shop regarding a potential problem and thought I would call him
and get his opinion on the possible repair. During that conversation he
never informed me that he was not an authorized Icom repair station. In
fact he indicated that there would be no problem in obtaining parts if
required. Certainly he sounded knowledgeable on the product. So, I sent
the unit to him with the detail of problems. Also in the note was my Visa
number so that he could charge it and return it to me without delay.
He did call about a week after receiving the product to inform me that he
could not fix one of the problems. He did not have the proper tools to do
it and for him to obtain the tools would be too expensive. He said he would
look again at the unit and maybe he could "fix it". About five days later I
received another telephone call indicating that he had fixed the main
problem but that the problem requiring additional tools could not be
repaired. I said fine send it back to me. It was then that he informed me
that he wanted payment via Pay Pal and Pay Pal only no other credit cards.
A bit miffed that a business would not be taking a bank credit card I paid
him using Pay Pal. So here are the caveats: Check to be sure that the
place where you are sending your valuable equipment is in fact an authorized
repair station for that brand. Check their payment terms in advance. If it
is not the factory repair facility, get some real references not ones posted
to a web site.

Another 2 cents worth, is it just me or is has some sort of assumption
been made that QRP operators are not experienced enough to realize about
zero beating properly?? I think most would have long ago realized that the
frequency has a lot to do with the percentage of replies.
I have operated some QRP and never seemd to have much problem from that.
In fact the percentage of answers to calls has always amazed me. QRP must
not be all that far down in the mud thanthe usual 100w signal.

If you go to jarl.or.ip/English/4_Library/A-4-3_contests/AADX.htm you will
find the results for the last five yrs. That may also get u to record
scores but didn''t pursue it. If I messed up my spelling go to SM3CER's
website and just click on web for the appropriate contest. That usually
gets you close to where you want to be.

I enjoy reading the "tips of the weak".
I think most extra effort and skill comes from the people trying to
hear QRP signals. The receiving party is the one doing the actual
work, and suffering the pain and punishment of reading weak
signals.
All contests should award significant bonus points to the stations
that copy QRP signals, rather than to the station who makes an
effort to be weak.
The present system is like horse riding. Women ride side-saddle,
while men straddle the saddle. Totally illogical.

Ok people....So many requested the information on the #2 situation that I
shall fill in with more information.
First however, the intent was not to bad mouth this or any other specific
shop but to emphasize the importance of asking lots of questions before you
send your $3000 or $300 radio off to ANYONE. With that said, let me state
for the record this is only my experience and the shop involved is revealed
only as additional background as to my situation.
The shop is referred to as the Radio Doctor on the web or Ham Repair and is
run by a Mr. Milton Lord in Cartersville, Georgia. Based on my experiences
with this shop I would not recommend them for ICOM repair and would check
carefully on any others.

The awarding of "bonus points" for working Novice or Technician
contestants in the ARRL 10 meter contest is consistant with this
premis: the station taking the extra time and effort to work a
station sending and receiving substantially more slowly than the
average station should be rewarded. To the extent you need extra
fills to complete the QSO with the QRP station, you deserve
extra points for that achievement. This is especially true
in Serial Number contests, such as Sweepstakes, where only the
RECEIVING station is the one penalized for communications problems.
Communications should be a two way street.

As the editor that added the Tip of the Week regarding QRP and zero beat,
let me add my two cents worth...
I do find more QRP stations have a different offset than the usual 800 Hz
so-called "standard". If you are running a YaeKenCom box turned down to QRP
(as I do), they are all pretty much identical as far as offset goes, and so
is TenTec, but there sure seems to be a lot of variation between the smaller
manufacturers. I don't know about Elecraft yet. QRPers are also much more
likely to be operating homebrew rigs or separate receivers and transmitters,
making the issue important.
I didn't put the tip in there as a knock on QRPers, but to point out that
being on-frequency is MUCH more critical in big contests than in casual
operating.
On a similar note, I find that on 20-15-10, Europeans tend to call a couple
hundred Hertz higher than NA and JA stations. Anybody else notice this?
Any opinions?

This will never work Tom.
How would an op know to claim qrp points for a qso?
A few folks on this list have been very vocal about QRP.
"I have no way to know what power the other station was running"
"I never put /qrp in the log"
"using /qrp is illegal" (No...in the USA it's not. Plus not all qrp
ops answer to the FCC)
Life's to short...", yada, yada, yada...
These great ops the feel QRPers are the scum of the earth would never
stand for this Tom.

FYI and for what it's worth department:
I am a little pistol using the Ameritron AL-811H amplifier. The power switch
recently failed. This a little el-cheapo lighted rocker switch made by Carling
and probably other manufacturers. I called Ameritron and talked to a tech
support type. He stated he would mail me a new switch, but I would have to pay
the $7.00 minimum plus UPS charges. He said the switch was less than 2 bux.
What the heck I wanted to get back on the air. A week later UPS delivers a
plain jane rocker switch, no light. This cost me just under $10.00 with the UPS
fee. Called the tech support person back and he said no mistake, that is what
they use now, probably because they could not get the lighted one anymore. I
said something like, "unbelievable" and hung up.
The only indication you have that the amp is turned on are the meter lights,
which failed awhile back, and the power switch. I replaced the meter lamps
with a higher quality lamp from the local surplus store.
The good news: A friend relayed to me that Astron, who uses the same identical
switch, replaced his broken power supply switch free of charge, no questions
asked. I called Astron. The only question the Astron parts lady asked was for
my address. When I asked the charge, she said "none." Here is a company who
likes to keep customers happy.

Ward, I have noticed this. Perhaps it's just the fact that we work tons of
EU in DX contests here on the east coast and there's thus a noticeable
number of EU stations not zero beat. One thing I do know is that I will
preferentially answer the station that is zb (unless I hear a juicy mult
off-freq).
The problem with the off-freq callers is that they could be on-freq callers
to another station (who I don't hear on 10-15-20) and they're not really
working me! Timing too easily can be right for this to happen.
Of course if I happen to have the 250Hz pair of Inrads cut in, I don't
really hear 'em. OK as long as the stack of stations is still there...

As to how often QRP stations have reasonable signals... quite often
really. Also the antenna system on my end is significant help. If a
QRPer has cleaned up his antennas to maximize what his 5 watts
accomplishes, it's quite likely that I will hear him and copy first
time no troubles.
That said, LOTS of answers to CQ's are off frequency. QRPers and guys
running KW alike.
I really don't know why. I only know that it is a lot harder on the
QRP than the QRO.

The ARRL Letter
Vol. 21, No. 13
Mar 29, 2002
***************
==>DENNIS MOTSCHENBACHER, K7BV, TO JOIN ARRL HEADQUARTERS STAFF
Noted contester and DXpeditioner Dennis Motschenbacher, K7BV, will join
the ARRL Headquarters staff April 1 as sales and marketing manager. In
that role, he'll oversee ARRL's publication and advertising sales as
well as membership recruitment activities.
"We're pleased to have someone with Dennis's Amateur Radio and
professional experience and international stature to take on this
critical management role," said ARRL Chief Operating Officer Mark
Wilson, K1RO. "We expect that he will be a major asset in helping the
ARRL to meet its goals for the future."
An ARRL Life Member and a Minnesota native, Motschenbacher, 54, has been
licensed since 1962 and is no stranger to the ARRL family. For the past
four years, he has been the editor of National Contest Journal,
published by ARRL. Carl Luetzelschwab, K9LA, is replacing K7BV as NCJ
editor starting with the May/June issue.
Motschenbacher told his NCJ readers in his farewell editorial that he
considers the opportunity to work at ARRL Headquarters a dream come
true. "I feel like a kid who has just been granted his fondest wish," he
said. In addition to serving at the NCJ helm, Motschenbacher has been
actively involved in the fundraising and promotion for World Radiosport
Team Championship 2002 (WRTC 2002) and will be a referee at the event in
Finland this summer. In WRTC 2000, he teamed with Ralph Bellas, K9ZO, at
S566Z in Slovenia. He's also operated from various exotic locales.
Moving to the East Coast from Nevada, he says, will rejuvenate Amateur
Radio for him. He and his wife Lieska have arranged to purchase a house
in Eastern Connecticut that has a convenient hill on the property, and
he's already got a permit from the town to erect an 80-foot tower. Four
towers and associated antennas are being transported from Nevada as
well. Motschenbacher says he's never operated from the East Coast--with
the sole exception of the CY9AA DXpedition--and he's eager to experience
propagation from his new location. One down side, he noted, is that
Nevada is a lot more rare as an ARRL section multiplier than
Connecticut.
On the professional side, Motschenbacher brings 30 years of sales,
marketing and business experience to ARRL HQ, primarily in the fire
protection and safety business. Most recently he was president and co
owner of ESG Inc of Reno, which specializes in fire protection systems
for the telecommunications industry worldwide. He says he's eager to put
his sales acumen and entrepreneurial spirit to work on behalf of the
ARRL and Amateur Radio. "I view it as a very strong personal
responsibility to help see Amateur Radio into the future," he said.

1. Is it based on 6 different 10 minute periods in the hour (i.e.
minute 0..9, 10..19, 20..29, etc)
2. is it based on a any contiguous 10 minutes.
If the RUN station is currently working on 20m and makes a series of
contacts while the MULTIPLIER station is working on 40m, when can
the RUN station switch to 15m?
For example, if the last contact of the RUN station was at 8:30 on
20m and the last contact of the MULTIPLIER station was at 8:35, when
could the RUN station switch to 15m - at 8:40 or 8:45?

This will never work Tom.
How would an op know to claim qrp points for a qso?
A few folks on this list have been very vocal about QRP.
"I have no way to know what power the other station was running"
"I never put /qrp in the log"
"using /qrp is illegal" (No...in the USA it's not. Plus not all qrp

I have recently had some good experiences with the Ameritron customer
support group.
A couple of months ago I bought a second Ameritron AL1500 amplifier. After
installing the tube and power transformer (packaged separately), it came up
and worked fine. However I noticed one oddity about the new amplifier. On
40, 80, and 160 meters the loading control would be at zero (maximum
capacity for the loading capacitor). My older AL1500 used less capacity for
loading on the three low bands but it was close to the same settings for
10, 15, and 20 meters.
I called the Ameritron Customer Support and described my problem to them
and they said that the newer AL1500 models switched in less loading
capacity then the older models. However, the load control should not end up
at zero for the three low bands in spite of that and the newer AL1500
manual agreed with what they said. The amplifier was certainly usable but I
wasn't happy with what I perceived as not enough plate loading capacity as
normal.
The customer support guy walked me through some checks with my capacity
meter to see if any of the fixed caps were bad. But we just couldn't find
anything wrong. After what I thought was a reasonable effort on my part to
isolate the problem I finally said, "I think you should just send me a new
RF deck". They agreed to do this without any argument whatsoever. A few
days later the new RF deck arrived and it worked according to the
specifications in the AL1500 manual. Ameritron also sent me a UPS sticker
for me to return the old RF deck at no cost to me. I see this as good
customer service.
Another Ameritron story:
Soon after replacing my AL1500 a friend brought over an AL1200 that had a
problem. I thought since I had just been digging into my Ameritron amp, I
was on a roll and could help my friend fix his. We found a single bad
capacitor in his power supply bank of 8 capacitors. After determining the
part number of the capacitor, we ordered the part from Ameritron.
However, the part arrived and the new capacitor was physically shorter, had
more capacity, but had the same working voltage. When I called Ameritron
back to ask about it they said, "you must have an older AL1200 because we
can't get those capacitors anymore. We now use the newer capacitors that
are really better anyway."
Since I couldn't use one capacitor that was of different value in the power
supply, I priced seven more capacitors and I priced the entire capacitor
assembly (includes eight capacitors, bleeders, circuit board, and other
components). The entire assemble was actually cheaper then buying seven
more capacitors. When I ordered the capacitor assembly I asked if they
would leave one capacitor off the assembly and credit me for what I paid
for the first capacitor I ordered. They were happy to do this and I was
very satisfied with their help.
The only minor criticism I might have is that it would be helpful for
Ameritron to ask for serial numbers of amplifiers when taking parts orders.
This might allow them to identify part changes in the amplifiers and make
sure their customers get the right parts the first time they call.
Over all, I am extremely satisfied with Ameritron Custom Service.

Gary,
Your answer doesn't explain why a lot of Europeans tend to call *HIGHER*
than zero beat, which was Ward's original observation. The fact that
East Coast stations tend to work a lot of EU does explain why many East
Coasters (as well as others) notice a large number of European off
frequency callers, but it doesn't explain why more Europeans seem to
call higher rather than lower.

I was wondering if there is a different convention for offset standards.
We're all pretty much using the same radios but it seems unlikely that they
are pre-configured by the manufacturer to use different offsets based on the
target market. It's not much of a difference - maybe 200 Hz - but I find
myself leaving the RIT "up a little" when EU stations are answering my CQs.
How about it, EU guys? Is the converse true - that you have to listen a

A mild (fairly slow velocity) interplanetary shock was observed passing
the ACE spacecraft near 21:42 UTC (4:42 pm EST) on 29 March. The source is
not clear at the present time, but may be related to a coronal hole based
disturbance. More will be known over the ensuing hours as the
characteristics of this disturbance become better established. In any event,
there is an increased potential for periods of enhanced auroral activity
over the next 24 hours. Middle latitude observers should be alert for
periods of favorable conditions. Odds are against significant middle
latitude observations of activity due to the near-full phase of the moon.

Message-ID: <000a01c1d810$520acb40$16621dc3@default>
Perhaps I am a bit late for the discussion on Italian kilowwats, but I just
couldn't resist it...
Few years ago I travelled to Italy on busisness and paid a visit to a ham whom
I knew for ages from a band. I was kind od surprised to find him in a workshop
where, among other ham stuff, there was something called HF PA, size of a
decent refridgerator, very carefully manufactured and good looking. I
understood it was predicted to deliver 20 kW out (you read it right) and Henry
2K was used as a driver. Bird 43 with 25 kW (right again) probe was used as a
wattmeter. Dummy load was water-cooled. You actually had to tap the water from
the pipelines, hi... If I remember well, the tube was YU134, size larger than
my head...
There was another small amplifier with 3CX6000, some 8 kW out...
Your mouth are watering? Come on, admit it... never thought of using one of
these babies in a contest, ha?
Yes, I have seen these two amplifiers by my own eyes and purpose for writing
this is not to point out Italian hams as the only superpower users. You can
find them in almost every country in the world. Many of those high scores are
results of extreme powers combined with good antennas and operator skills. In
my country I know for at least two amplifiers with 3CX3000 (two, ha ha ha...).
Some S5 guys proudly talked about their big amps. There are also many others to
whome I hav not spoken , but who could say the same.
Thing is, it is hard to compete in any WW contest due to differences in
regulation among countries. In USA it is 1500 W out, in UK 400W, in Italy 300W
etc. If classification would be on country basis, perhaps people would stick to
the rules ( I do not believe this...). Then, what about dxing... Plus, it is
much easier to build a strong linear than plant a high tower and long boom
yagis...
It is very difficult to trace the use of excessive power, strong signal is not
the only relevant pointer. That makes it much easier to use.
Henry 5K? Henry 8K???? Whom were they dedicated to? Power savers? Tube lovers?
Yeah, forgot to tell you that heating transformer for YU134 was some heavy
thing and wires size of my thumb (180A, right?).
Italy is a beautiful country of nice people, nature, art and of course
kilowats. What I mean is - do not press it too hard on Italy, you can find
extra power next door. Trick is how many of No 1 contesters would let you in
their bedrooms? Sorry, shacks... I bet there you could find lot of active
tuners, coaxial cables with positive losses and dipoles with 10dBi gain...
Be better, power is not all.

I notice that on CW when I start hearing a lot of guys calling me offset in
one direction or the other, it is usually because the QRM is heavier on the
other side. I usually operate LSB CW, which means that I am more likely to
get close to another running station that is down in both my carrier
rejection filter notch and near zero beat, where my audio response rolls
off. But when I do that, it tends to lead to stations calling me lower in
frequency, not higher.
Maybe the calling stations are tending to put the QRM in their "carrier
notch", and if they are using USB CW then that would tend to make them call
on a higher frequency? Just wondering out loud.

I was wondering if there is a different convention for offset standards.
We're all pretty much using the same radios but it seems unlikely that they
are pre-configured by the manufacturer to use different offsets based on the
target market. It's not much of a difference - maybe 200 Hz - but I find
myself leaving the RIT "up a little" when EU stations are answering my CQs.
How about it, EU guys? Is the converse true - that you have to listen a
little lower in frequency when running USA?

Who says that the filters and shift as we in the U.S. see it (700-800 Hz) is
standard in other parts of the world? Could it be different elsewhere,
especially among foreign domestic radios? Could it be a design thing since
there may still be many homebrew transceivers over there...?

Anyway! Since a previous guy mentioned Popkin-grams, I thought this might be
of
interest. I noted, early on in the contest, that W2CC spotted OD5/OK1MU at
21448 (I
believe) and made the comment that 'I'm licking my stamps! ;-)'
I have to wonder.. given the history he has.. was he doing it to WARN us NOT to
work the
guy cuz of the proximity to the upper band edge OR was he telling us about the
mult so
we WOULD work the guy and he could then enjoy sending out another boatload of
'grams? I
don't know.
If you were one of then many that worked the OD1 then you may just be graced by
a
Popkin-Gram! If so.. fret not. Frame it and consider it as your membership card
to an
elite group. I don't know what rights and perogatives you can acquire from
having one..
but they are unique, none the less! :-)
Anyway.. sure heard a lot of familiar calls from this reflector on the air and

Message-ID: <004501c1d894$141403e0$1d1145cf@default>
I was testing my station set ups in the SSB WPX contest and ran into a
potential problem on 40 SSB. This was due to split band operation
required for the Dx to work USA and the unusual band conditions that made
the signals come in from several directions (almost no front to back and
broad signal path). I checked during the day on stations 1000 miles away
and the pattern was still sharp and the beam showed 10 to 15 DB Front to
back. I find that this condition always seems to occur when a magnetic
storm is brewing.
The DX stations were having a hard time deciding who was working who! I
usually stuck in the call of the station first so to cut down any confusion
but two stations who I had not worked said Worked B4 one of whom was D44TD.
If I had been serious this could have been points taken off at both ends for
NIL which usually means penalties. Besides stepping on any number of
existing QSOs (domestic USA) this is a problem with split operation.
I also noted that the was some attempts at jamming by the run over domestic
stations (such as putting SSTV signals on a Dx listening frequency). This
was mostly a waste of time as Contesters usually had much stronger signals
than the domestic rag chewers but I wonder if the FCC telephones were
ringing with interference reports. The other problem I noted was the vast
number of Dx stations below 7040. Several were as low as 7025 working the
SSB contest. This is one time when Digital and CW are QRMed out between
7045 and 7100. Boy the 2003 WRC Conference can't come fast enough if we can
get a 300 khz world wide ham band.

Classic 33 is a good antenna 3 elements on 18 Foot boom,
unlike some of the other Mosleys
the spacing is Director to Driven element 10 Feet
DE to Reflector is 8 Feet.
the Radiator is the longest element when set for CW.

it doesn't matter at all, not one tiny bit, if we like to use different
receive tones.
As long as the transmitter is properly netted to the receiver in
EACH station, they will be on the same frequency when transceive
no matter what pitch each station operator uses.
The only problem is some radios don't net the transmitter to the
receiver, or the user changes pitch by fiddling with passband tuning
without getting inside the radio to change the carrier oscillator
offset to match.
The FT1000 has a set of switches for offset, so when you set the
switches to 500Hz (or whatever) for your favorite tone the
transmitter comes out right spot on.
My old 751A's have an internal adjustment.
Ten Tec radios are particularly bad about this, because if you buy a
"low pitch" CW filter the transmitter offset remains fixed for the
higher frequency CW tone design.

Wow. This cq-contest club is almost as great as the Boring Amateur Radio

answers.
Some said the Driven Element was closer to the Director, some said is was
closer to the Reflector. Some said the Classic was the same as a TA-33.
Others said it was not.
Anyways, Tom Tormina, always a very productive resource, faxed me the manual
(although he was not the ONLY person to offer to do so). I now have the
answer. But I got to thinking about Tom and realized he was one of those
operators with Italian surnames who won the SS in the 70s and got cited
statistically for his efforts. Then I remembered that all Italian run big
power, and then it all began to make sense.
:) JUST KIDDING. Happy Easter everybody, and thanks for responding to my

I don't recall the call offhand now, but there was a DX station Friday night
operating on 14.348.5. I called him from 14.346.9 -- I double checked
this -- used the RIT to zero beat him. If I get another Popkin-gram, then
I'll know he's listening to the stations the DX is calling, not to the
carrier frequency I'm generating. 'nuff said.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Popkin-Grams lurk!
I just got back from a surprisingly enjoyable (due to lack of QRN and
accompanying brain
fuzz) session on 15/10M! Due to family acitvities , I'll not be able to
finish the WPX
on Sunday (DARN!) but at least I helped the cause and gave a few WR3 mults
to the
group!
Anyway! Since a previous guy mentioned Popkin-grams, I thought this might
be of
interest. I noted, early on in the contest, that W2CC spotted OD5/OK1MU at
21448 (I
believe) and made the comment that 'I'm licking my stamps! ;-)'
I have to wonder.. given the history he has.. was he doing it to WARN us NOT
to work the
guy cuz of the proximity to the upper band edge OR was he telling us about
the mult so
we WOULD work the guy and he could then enjoy sending out another boatload
of 'grams? I
don't know.
If you were one of then many that worked the OD1 then you may just be graced
by a
Popkin-Gram! If so.. fret not. Frame it and consider it as your membership
card to an
elite group. I don't know what rights and perogatives you can acquire from
having one..
but they are unique, none the less! :-)
Anyway.. sure heard a lot of familiar calls from this reflector on the air
and worked
abuch from WR3L. Great to hear you all!

If he doesn't want to work anyone else, then don't work him! I say it's
his loss.
I'd work anybody, anywhere except I have a virus of some sort and can't
talk. I tried making some QSO's in the contest but it was useless.

Hi Ward,
It is the first time I hear about this offset, usually everybody is
tuning and listening on zerobeat. ( at least here in europe...)
Then transmit- and receivefrequency is the same on any transceiver.
Probably you like to hear the higher pitched audio, in that case probably
an audio-filter / equalizer is helpful for you

I've always thought this was just my problem of some DX stations calling off
freq. I find that JA's tend to call a bit on the low side, SSB or CW , We
don't normally hear enough EU on 10 M where I tend to operate to notice.

They're most certainly PCB-mounted, but that should only stop the most
dedicated QCAO types.
DIN = German Institute for Standardization, but looking any further requires
Euros & I've only got pounds in me pocket.
Some of these funky "DIN plugs" may be covered under the standard, but
I suggest they are used deliberately to force the user to buy these somewhat
hard to find connectors from the equipment manufacturer.
They certainly aren't to be found in component stores here. But then again,
neither are metric threaded M-plugs (aka UHF). Perhaps they're common in
Akihabara, in which case they belong on the domestic versions of the
radios & not the ones sold to the rest of us.
A more permanent alternative to toothpicks is to take the one funky plug
supplied with the radio & making a short cable (a few cm long) from it
terminating into a more common connector.

- OH2PM, who had been planning to operate from OH0, is now joining OH2BH
as a M/S entry from EA8BH.
- Filling the OH0 slot will be OH2JTE, operating Single Op as OH0B.

Announcing the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet
Editor - Ward Silver, N0AX
(email: rate-sheet@arrl.org)
The ARRL is pleased to announce the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet - to be
published every other week by the ARRL! It's intended to be a useful source
of timely information for both the active and casual contester. The Rate
Sheet will include information about events during the following two-week
period and time-sensitive news items.
The first issue will be published March 13. ARRL Members may subscribe to
the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet by going to the Member Data Page at:
http://www.arrl.org/members-only/memdata.html?modify=1
Note that you must be logged in to the site to access this page. Scroll down
to the section "Which of the following would you like to receive
automatically via email from ARRL?" Check the box for "ARRL Contest Rate
Sheet (biweekly contest newsletter)" and you're all set.
We're going to start with a simple format. To keep the newsletter light and
tight, we'll rely heavily on summaries and links to web pages that make
available more extensive information. Additions and changes will be made
over time as the best use of the newsletter format becomes clearer.
In the meantime, suggestions for content and organization are welcome!
Please send your ideas to rate-sheet@arrl.org.
73, Ward N0AX
****************************************************************************
Here's the overall format and a sample of typical items...
Each issue will begin with a Summary followed by critical bulletin-level
items, such as FCC communications emergencies, short-notice rule changes,
and so forth.
Announcements and Notices for the two-week period being covered will come
next. This will include notices of what contests are running the coming
weekends with Contest Corral text (including web links) and pending log
submission deadlines.
News for this issue follows the announcements section and will include
newsworthy items received during the preceding two weeks. Look for news
reports from the ARRL Contest Desk, announcements of results availability,
changes in contest data bases, software releases, and other news from
contributors.
Technical and Technique items will be included as they are available. I'll
try to include a Contest Tip or very short technical/technique item in each
issue.
Conversational pieces will be included if they're of general interest, such
as limited press releases about contests, products, conventions, or
contesters. And I'll to slip in a humorous aside now and then, such as the
occasional limerick.
The following are samples of the type of information that will be included
in the Rate Sheet:
Announcement - Virginia QSO Party, Phone and CW, sponsored by the Sterling
Park ARC 1800Z, Mar 16 - 0200Z, Mar 18. Frequencies: CW - 1.805 and 50 kHz
up; Phone -1.845 3.860 7.260 14.270 21.370 28.370 kHz; Novice/Tech -- 10 kHz
up and 28.370; VHF/UHF - 50.125 144.200, 146.58, 223.50 446.00 MHz. No
repeater or cross-mode QSOs. SO, MS, MM fixed station and mobile
categories, no time limit, QSOs once per band/mode/VA QTH, VA stations work
everyone, others work VA stations only. Exchange: serial number and SPC or
VA county/city. QSO Points: Phone - 1pt, CW - 2 pts, Mobile - 3 pts.
Multipliers - VA city/counties + SPC. Score: QSO Points x Multipliers
(counted only once). VA mobiles add 100 pts per VA city/county activated.
Add 500 pts for QSO with K4NVA. For more information -
www.qsl.net/sterling. Logs must be emailed or postmarked by Apr 15 to
ks4ii@arrl.net or Virginia QSO Party, Call Box 599, Sterling, VA 20167.
Notice - Log Deadline: New Hampshire QSO Party - March 31 - arrl@nhradio.org
or NH-ARRL, POB 119 Goffstown, NH 03045-0119.
News from the ARRL Contest Desk - The list of Logs Received for the 2001
ARRL International EME Competition was posted after the logs were verified
against the server - see www.arrl.org/contests.
Contest Tip - When operating QRP, don't append "/QRP" to your callsign. At
best it slows your contacts and at worst makes it much harder for the
receiving station to copy your call correctly. You're already running low
power, maximize the probability of correct copy by only sending what's
necessary to get through.
Press Release - N6TR released version 6.63 of TR-LOG on 24 February. Zipped
versions were sent to all subscribed users. A corrected version of the
companion log-processing program POST was also sent as POST 6.63a.

Message-ID: <050901c1c15f$04301b40$62f1a118@tampabay.rr.com>
AA4LT wrote some words worth repeating:
"It was never an issue how many boxes you had on your desk, or in your
shack -- and it shouldn't be an issue today."
I wholeheartedly agree...we are testing an entrants ability to manage the
act of making QSOs - if he can do SO2R like the likes of N5TJ or K1TO - then
more power to them...
Contesting is about pitting one set of gray cells against another. Not I
have more boxes than you do therefore I win - trust me K1TO has been kicking
my butt since when we were Generals and I was using an S Line and he had
some Heathkit junk...
Since the gray cells of K1TO are better than those of K4OJ I will just have
to try and compensate with some more boxes on my desk :-), and he still
whups my butt only to tell me his amp was broke and he was running low
power...go figure ----- is that a concrete wall for me to hit my head on?
This idea of one set of finding on superiorly trained set of gray cells is
also the essence of why packet operating is a dilemma to so many operators -
it is others' gray cells contributing to making QSOs...if K1TO can do this
solo by constantly sweeping the bands with the second RX with only his gray
cells versus me having to resort to packet and adding additional set(s) of
gray cells...well, I should not be in the same category as K1TO who is doing
it with his single set of gray cells...but, we already knew that!
(PS: Dan's brain appears to be migrating outward...at least the gray part
does.)
GL in ARRL DX SSB to everybody.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Economics of Contest QSLing
Message-ID: <3.0.5.32.20020302085033.00aba270@pop.abs.adelphia.net>
This is an update and elaboration on information previously provided by
AD1C. I hope it's useful.
$3.20 will send a pound of QSLs by surface mail to most countries in
Europe. The rate to Japan is $4.05. This means that if you have anything
over about 6 ounces of QSLs going to any single bureau, it is more
economical to forward your QSLs directly, rather than going through the
ARRL outgoing bureau, at $8.00 a pound plus domestic postage.
The savings can be worthwhile. I just sent 26 packages of QSLs to various
bureaus (the DL bureau got 3) for a total cost of $84. They weighed a
total of 19 lb, which would have cost $152 plus $7 postage through the
outgoing bureau. I still had 8 pounds to go via the ARRL, for $64 plus $5
postage, or a total of $69.00.
I had my QSLs printed locally at a cost of $95 for 4000 cards, and printed
the QSL data (5800 QSOs) directly on the cards with DX4WIN.
I think I've squeezed the costs pretty hard. Even so, and not putting any
value on my time (this is a hobby, right?), or on inkjet printer ink, I
figure the total cost of QSLing this batch at $248, or 4.3 cents per QSO.
Is it any wonder that I'm really looking forward to the advent of ARRL's
Logbook of the World?

I have a chance to buy a mint Alpha 91B amplifier with nearly no hours
use for a good price. Having sold an Alpha 76CA recently I would
like to replace it. Anyone out there have any serious negative
comments about the 91B? It does come with the extended warranty.
Thanks

So add him to your country.dat file (or whatever your
logging software calls it) and recompile it, already, it
will make you happy, happy. I did during the contest, (mine
was a very part time effort). :-( The log checking
software will score it correctly, anyway.
Hope you made more Q's than I did. Had to work both days,
with Sunday being 14.5 hours, (live TV telethon).

I fixed it for TR log but my question is more basic.
How would a casual contestor (who may use contest/logging software) know
that TO4T is FG not FM or something else if it's not in the latest country
file and not separated in the DXCC booklet listing international call sign
allocations? Would TO4T really need to announce his location after every
QSO or so?!? I am on several email lists but several new contestors are
likely not to be. This is not just a rhetorical question---we have some
new contestors in the area.

Contest Station Database - http://www.pvrc.org
Note: With the recent changeover to Mailman and new changes at
the Web submission page, we have had some hiccup's. Yes, I
know the EA8ZS score was incomplete and I have asked for
an update from the database. If you see any other
weirdness, please let me know. Also, submissions not made
through the Web submission page may be delayed if you do
not subscribe to 3830 as the approval process is more of
a batch mode process now rather than individual emails.
Your patience is appreciated. 73 dink

Yep, sure did notice that. Especially after it placed "///////" in the Mult
column after I entered the QSOs. (Am using NA here).
Let's see if one of the computer guys here comes up with a "fix". The only
way I could get it to "count" was to enter the callsign as TO4T/FG and if I
were to turn the logs in like that it may cost me 3 QSOs and 3 Mults since
that is not really the callsign he was signing! Ugly for anyone, and uglier
for a small score like mine!
I did take a look at the Master Callsign Database, but am not sure I want to
modify it on my own without some instruction. Seems confusing. 73

My name is Ted, callsign S51TA , age 23, active ham. I was never
disqualified or non-classificated in any of the contests except in case of
SCC-Slovenia Contest Club, in which committee can do whatever they want.
First some preface;
As a very active and young contester I was also very active in SCC-Slovenia
Contest Club and because of that, I quickly (1st) became member of
supervising committee of SCC and after a year I became a president of
supervising committee of SCC at age 19. Two presidents of this committee
make resignation before me, University professor s50k, and well-known s5
politician s50o because of strange things were happening mostly with money
transfers! (Nobody want to have dirty hands with that-ham radio is a hobby).
But I was only 19 (and happy to be among the top s5 ops) and started to work
as a president of the supervising committee! After a year they wanted me to
sign the papers as they prepared them but I doubted in such behaviour and
said "wait a second guys, I am not prepared to do things like this".( I am
young, raised in democracy, and with plans for a "clean" future.
After that they deposed me without my knowledge, and started to make things
difficult to me in every single way! Everything started few weeks before
WRTC2000, from which they wanted to depose me again but they could not,
because I came with a lawyer on hearings.
There is a much longer and juicy story behind this but that is not the
reason I am writing you today. For futher information and to ease making
final judgement maybe contact some hams from YU, Z3, LY, OH or non SCC
members!
In the year 2000 I was claimed 1st in EUHFC in LP Mixed category, but was
removed from classification list with no good reason, but with a bad
explanation, that contest committee did not get what they wanted/requested.
The winning person was of course S50A, the president of SCC.(They wanted
restart.bin from TR).
We were having big verbal fights about that. S56A contacted Tree, N6TR and
they proved to SCC that is possible that TR software gave out double serial
number, which happened to me, as it was the reason for non classification.
Last year (2001) I send the log, and again some problems..they wanted me to
send them a certificate from cabrillo that I was making contest within the
limitations. Only s56a and me were ordered to send this!
And here the scores are, they ranged me #4 and in final comments they wrote;
"The Sanctioning Committee discussed also the case of unsportsmanlike
conduct of S51TA and this operator is excluded from future contests
organized by Slovenia Contest Club."
I believe such committee cannot decide on and do sanctions like this. I"ve
send a letter in which I wanted an explanation, but till today nothing
happened!
I am asking you contesters if such thing ever happened to you?
I believe I am the 1st on planet Earth, ever treated in such way, with no
reason, only because I told to everyone about their business and trades in
S5 and because I was loyal to myself and I was only telling the truth and
nothing but the truth.
If the SCC would be a real ham radio club for connecting ham radio
operators the number of contesters which donate points would raise or stay
the same, but lately, a big percentage of hams do not donate points to SCC
anymore!
Sorry for bothering you with such things, but I believe it is important for
me and some others to talk freely about the things happening around, It is
our hobby isn"t it? And I do want that this hobby will also be "clean" in
the future!
Maybe some non-democratic leaders will wake up!

Message-ID: <3.0.5.32.20020304073243.00aa5100@pop.abs.adelphia.net>
I'be been surprised by how little (like no) comment there has been on the
changes to the club competition rules. Most of them are all to the good,
but I'm perplexed by the change in the club area. The new rule, to go into
effect this coming November, says that, "Medium and unlimited clubs now may
define their club service area either as a 175-mile radius circle or as an
entire ARRL section. This change will allow clubs from larger states than
encompass entire ARRL sections to compete with each other. Clubs may select
one definition or the other but not both."
It seems to me that this change will have little, if any, practical effect.
In the densely populated areas, ARRL sections are smaller than the
175-mile circle, while out in the center of the country, clubs are drawing
their circles to encompass as many population centers as possible.
Sections typically are identical to states, and in many cases --up and down
the Mississippi/Missouri, for example -- population clusters tend to occur
in different states separated by rivers.
Do any of the contest clubs out in the Black Hole see any advantage to the
new rule? Meanwhile, in Florida, where Florida Contest Group's plight did
a lot to raise the issue in the first place, the new rule brings no relief
at all.

I presume the ZF2MM group did well this weekend.
They certainly had enough advertisement posts sent to the cluster out there
for QSO solicitations.
Never did get the name of their pet goats, however.

The answer is that they should just log it correctly and figure out what it
is later.
Discussions like this always occur and reveals these "mysteries" right after
the contest.

Off the top of my head, the only ones I can see being helped, are the
good folks of Tennessee, since their 175-mile circle doesn't cover the
whole state ... but of course, the section definition would solve that
problem for them nicely.

Yes, we in Florida are painfully aware of this situation. A good
portion of our 175-mile circle covers water ... no matter where we put
it! With 3 ARRL sections in Florida, that doesn't help either ... we
have members in all three sections. I proposed something using Grid
Squares, but that didn't fly either.
If anyone can come up with a workable solution for EVERYONE ... I'm sure
we can arrange for you to become an "honorary Chad"!

Just LU/Argentina. The /H refers to the district, only /Z would potentially be
interesting (one of the VP8-equivalents). It's hard to get these right, but
Cabrillo won't care.

This is a non-issue with Cabrillo, since mults are not counted, and I think
we can count on the log checkers to know who and where TO4T is.

Hello Contesters,
here is a little list with signals strengths as written down last
weekend.
Rig was a TS870 and a ground mounted trap vertical (Fritzel GPA40).
QTH nr Munich/Germany.
Some remarks:
This year, there wasn't the usual big advantage of the New England Area.
Also stations from other parts of W/VE were strong.
Often signals strengths from the west coast follow this rule:
CA > OR > WA > VE7. This year that wasn't true, K7RI W7WA NK7U
had BIG signals on 15m. K9JF was very strong on 10m.
K9NS (every band) and K0DU (20m) were in line with the big guys from the
East. N6RO
strong as usual. W4ZV was strongest on 10m, followed by KR1G. W4ZV was
really
massive. There were also some good signals from the South, like N5YA and
KR5V.
In general, most of the stations were close together in strength.
15m was open at 3h in the morning local time. I could still hear some of
the
W7's calling CQ...
If you think your signal is not listed where it should be...
1. I worked a few guys who were obviously beaming elsewhere, because I
could hear
them working more UA0, YB etc.. than other Europeans.
2. I listened a few times to DL6RAI running stations. Those he worked
were between
S3 and S5 on average here. So if you are at S8: That's loud!

The important thing to remember about TO4T (and any others), is that you
don't have to know at the time that he's in Guadeloupe to get credit for the
multiplier. All electronic logs are re-run and scored against a common,
up-to-date country file, so it really doesn't matter how many multipliers
you claim, high or low; the log checkers will give you the right score.
In CT, if you type "TO4T=FG" during the contest the software will recognize
the multiplier correctly, but since the .cty file doesn't get changed I
never bother until after the contest.

We (the Tennessee Contest Group) have also been pushing this. It will
benefit us considerably. The geographic center of the state is
Murfreesboro. (which also happens to be home to a fair bit of contest
activity) Memphis is just about exactly 175 miles from Murfreesboro - as is
Knoxville. Some Memphis residents were eligible to compete with us, while
others weren't! Likewise in Knoxville. And the excellent ops in the
Tri-Cities area near Kingsport were out altogether, about 70 miles too far
east.
We could manipulate the circle to encompass both Nashville and the
Tri-Cities, but then West Tennessee would be out in the cold. We could move
the circle west to include Memphis, at the expense of tossing out Knoxville
and the Tri-Cities. Neither of these two areas has enough activity to
support a decent contest club of its own.
Switching to the new option will cost us a handful of participants in the
Huntsville, Alabama and southern Kentucky areas. (in ARRL contests - they
are still welcome to participate in CQ and NCJ tests) Still, it's a change
for the better for us.
-------------------------------------------
Florida probably did shoot themselves in the foot by creating WcF. (how do
you "un-create" a section?!) I can see some other sections possibly
benefitting from the change - notably artificially large sections like
Michigan and Ohio. It might also make possible the creation of worthwhile
contest clubs in very sparsely-populated areas of the West. The Wyoming
Contest Group may never be competitive, but at least a would-be contester in
Cody could submit his score for a club.
I can see the possibility of benefit for MWA (Minnesota) as well, though
there aren't a whole lot of contesters in the vicinity of Thief River
Falls<g>.
-------------------------------------------
I might suggest that Black Hole clubs (SMC, MRRC) developed the way they did
*because* of the rule. (and would have developed differently if it didn't
exist) Might all Wisconsin ops have joined a Wisconsin-based club if
Milwaukee and Eau Claire operators (W0AIH) could have participated in the
same group?

Oven,
After several years of lurking, it would seem that this group is ripe
for an official amateur radio contesting FAQ to be created and maintained..
unless there is already such a beast that I missed. I haven't seen one
mentioned, but the need is apparent.
Speaking of FAQ's, I saw a message a few after this, about software not
liking the LU who was signing /H in his callsign. What does the CQWW
committee recommend on logging the following 'portable' extensions ?? There
was a reference to signing /QRP in this weeks OPDX bulletin.
xx#zzz/p
xx$zzz/qrp
xx$zzz/mm maritime mobile, and if so, do I need a region R# designator too
?
JA#xxx/# is a common one .. perhaps it is still a legal requirement in some
countries ??
as well as others that I can't recall at the moment <grin>. Would also like
to hear the ARRL opinion if it differs materially from CQ's.
btw, I heard a rumor that the LU signing the slash H was activating a rare
region of LU .. perhaps to promote some clubs groups award (?) ... but I
only vaguely recall hearing that implied in a qso he was in before I worked
him .. ! That was so many Q's ago <grin>

Rich, I do not believe that is correct. CT will write the update to the

Message-ID:
<20020304184341.YIZA11747.mtiwmhc23.worldnet.att.net@webmail.worldnet.att.net>
I suspect that French licensing officials have
determined that TO4 is a designate call for Guadeloupe.
The same as the FCC has determined the calls that are
appropriate for its territorial (or non-continental
states) entities. The updating of contest software to
keep up with such calls is a continuing process. There
is no need to suggest that this was a rules violation.
I am sure they were signing a call allocated to
Guadeloupe by the French licensing authorities.
Software will now be updated to include TO4 = FG with
the next revision.
It is very easy to take care of this during the contest
if you want your score readout to be correct. It used
to be that in CT you could type TO4 = FG and it would be
correct. I assume you can still do that. NA does not
accept =. What I do under the circumstances is to log
it each time as TO4T/FG and make a note to delete
the "/FG" with a text editor before submitting the
Cabrillo file. If you don't care that the cumulative
score in your computer may be wrong, you need to do
nothing. The Cabrillo file will be scored without
regard to what you think is a new country. As long as
the logcheckers have determined that TO4T = FG, it will
be scored that way without the need of any help from the
contestant.
Experienced contesters, particularly those with
directional antennas, should suspect that stations with
calls like TO4T that are loud and are coming in from the
direction of the Caribbean are actually in the
Caribbean. If your software doesn't recognize it, or
recognizes it only as France, your only alternative is
to ask (which I did on the first QSO).
I imagine that the operators of TO4T wanted a new prefix
more than they wanted instant country recognition.
Continued use of that prefix will bring more recognition.

Why don't we just figure the area of the 175 mile circle (let's see... pi r

My club borders will be 10 miles wide and 9600 miles long. It includes

The casual contester will be pleasantly surprised to find that
their score has been increased rather than decreased as a
result of the UBN log checking process. That is the process
that establishes what is a multiplier and where it gets counted.
The score listed on the cabrillo entry does not mean anything
as, as I understand it, scores are computed in the checking
process.

Well, I'm fairly embarrassed. I wrote my preceding message based on
information I looked up on the USPS web site last week. When I actually
went into the post office today, I found out that all the rates had
increased (presumably March 1). 16 oz or less to Western European
countries is now $3.80, vs $3.20. To Eastern Europe and Russia, it is
$4.95, but Japan remains unchanged at $4.05.
This means that the crossover points at which it makes sense to send
direct, rather than through the ARRL bureau, are considerably higher. For
Western Europe, it is up to around 7-8 ounces, while for Eastern Europe it
is at least 10 ounces. Japan remains unchanged at 8-9 ounces. Sorry if I
misled anyone, but I wasn't expecting a price increase, particularly not
one of this magnitude!
One further refinement. Savings are maximized at a pound per direct
shipment. If you have, for example, 20 ounces to send to one Western
European bureau, your optimum strategy would be to send 16 oz direct and 4
oz via the ARRL, yielding a total cost of $5.80 plus a little domestic
postage. If you split the 20 oz into two direct shipments, you pay $7.60.
When your total to one destination reaches 23-24 oz, it makes sense again
to send both via international mail.

Message-ID: <02f401c1c407$f562e9c0$62f1a118@tampabay.rr.com>
Probably because you guys simply turn your beams South to work Florida you
do not realize how "tall" Florida is North to South...it is NOT a small
state, when I lived near Miami and drove to the Northeast the hurdle was
getting out of Florida - once you got out at least there were state lines in
the near future! Because we are not recognized as being as big as we are,
comments like this one from W9WI are fairly typical:
"Florida probably did shoot themselves in the foot by creating WcF."
The reason for the creation of the WCF section was due to ARRL officers who
were either North FL based (Jacksonville) or South Florida based (Miami) not
being able to have good communication with the hams in the central part of
the state - it is a four and a half plus hour drive from my QTH near Tampa
to Miami, and that is with a heavy foot!
Tampa, the heart of the WCF section was just too far from SFL for appointed
officials who lived in the Miami area to be able to do it justice...it
needed its own section - just wish you guys would learn it
Whiskey Charlie Fox
West Central Florida
WCF
....its been over two years now guys!
As far as ARRL affiliated club turf...I question whether or not the TCG
realizes that the new rules are "either/or", but not both, the radius or the
section. I know there were a lot of TCG members NOT in Tennessee...if they
adopt the Section version of the new rules then these guys (mostly KY hams I
think) are going to be without a club.
Our situation in Florida is a very unique one since we are a
peninsula...unfortunately since the infamous circle is much wider than the
state is. A large portion of any circle drawn within Florida results in
roughly a third of that area being in either the Atlantic or the Gulf of
Mexico.
This is a shame, especially since there is an active contester population in
the panhandle of Florida....to accommodate these hams our club developed an
FCG Panhandle Club - just for times when we must compete in ARRL events and
their scores are NOT allowed to be grouped with the rest of ours. This is a
shame, within our own state we have like minded hams who cannot compete side
by side with us.
The ARRL's new guidelines with the either/or option for club turf will
probably not cause a big difference for anyone other than the TCG who now
can have all Tennesseeans (but will have to forsake previous contributions
by others out of state who previously were joined with them).
Until someone in Florida can come up with an easy way for the ARRL to
calculate land area for use in club territory definitions I guess we will
just have to get ready for the
FLORIDA QSO PARTY! Its only 54 days away!
Please help Florida contesters get over our disappointment at the club
restructuring dilemna's resolution by working us in the FQP.
Hams from all walks of life, even Dentists, enjoy the FQP. Florida works
the world and you work us on 10 through 40 meters!
Check out the full details at the FQP website - where you can also sign up
for the FQP re-mailer to keep you up to speed on this years FQP April 27/28!
Go to the FQP website at:
http://www.qsl.net/fqp
Stats/Records, etc can be found there...the FQP is a QSO Party run by
contesters, the results are meticulously tabulated by current WRTC 2 time
co-champion K1TO and you are assured of fast paced snappy contest
exchanges...including our mobile teams who will attempt to activate all 67
of Florida's counties once again!
Join us, it is a fun contest! Not a BORING one.
73,
Jim, K4OJ

Jim, I asked him during the contest and he said it was just a providence? in
Argentina. Sure confused me.

How do you enter a power of 50mW so the log checking software knows what
you mean???
Life's too short for QRP!

AB0MV asked how the casual contester is to know where a TO# call is.
Good question. You can't. They're French. After SECAM & yellow
headlamps, TO4T being in FG is to be expected - northern hemisphere,
southern hemisphere, this ocean & that ocean, I believe this makes the
third TO call I've seen in recent times & I've yet to figure it out.
WFWL & always log what the other station sends & not what you think
your logging program needs to see.

G4ELJ gave me 100 milliwatts but said "001". I told him
I was logging it as "0R1". For any non-CW types, "R" is the
code for decimal point...as in "3R5 MHZ" for 3.5 MHz. So I
would use "R05" for 50 milliwatts. Don't know if this is
totally acceptable but I've used it before with no problems
that I recall.

This has been the summary from ****. Due to my own errors
I keep messing up the data. So far, I've managed to drop
the most significant digit on mults and band data.
I think I've been through every post three times now.
Yuck! Thanks for your patience.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Perhaps I'll be disqualified?
Message-ID: <005701c1c508$6b5494c0$e5a5fea9@dell>
I have a token entry for ARRL DX SSB - just 30 QSOs on 10m.
I didn't call CQ, but called W/VE stations directly and
received 59/State from everyone. My response, for every one
of the 30 QSOs, was "Thanks, one hundred."
No-one queried this or asked for a signal report. They just
kept right on going. Why? Because they're contesters, and
they had all the information they needed.
RS(T) doesn't matter because -
(1) It's already entered as 59(9) by the logging software.
(2) It is not cross-checked.
(3) It has no meaning, significance or value in contests.
(4) It is not needed on QSLs for any ARRL award.
Anyway, I broke the rules and probably gained an unfair
advantage, so perhaps I'll be disqualified?
If not, it's likely you'll not hear 59(9) from me again in
major contests. As some Summary Sheets say - "Unless
otherwise indicated, all reports were 59(9)".

Station and operating changes as the sunspots decline
Most predictions for the current sunspot cycle suggested we would be on our
way down, but the double peak has given us a reprieve. We are living on
borrowed time and all too soon we will be on the downward slope. What
station plans do you plan to make to be more in tune to future conditions?
When do you plan to make these changes? What contests will you operate that
you avoided during the sunspot peak? Conversely, what contests will you
stop operating as solar conditions deteriorate? Will you operate fewer
contests in the next few years because of conditions?

A question for all of us, since I have detected some rumblings about
certain people being spotted more than others etc in the last couple
of contests.
I was doing my normal S&P during the ARRL DX SSB and was asked
by some European DX stations if I had access to the internet -
in order to spot them.
I said no, since I actually don't have the net hooked up to my
ham radio computer...
But I felt it raised an interesting question - if that station is running
unassisted - is that possibly a rules violation in that category?
I assume I wasn't the first or the last person asked to do that.

It is a rules violation even if they are in a catagory
that allows assistance.

3.14. In contests where spotting nets are permissible, spotting your

Good question. You can't. They're French. After SECAM & yellow

southern hemisphere, this ocean & that ocean, I believe this makes the
third TO call I've seen in recent times & I've yet to figure it out.
WFWL & always log what the other station sends & not what you think

I was logging it as "0R1". For any non-CW types, "R" is the
code for decimal point...as in "3R5 MHZ" for 3.5 MHz. So I
would use "R05" for 50 milliwatts. Don't know if this is

After having been 'temporarily' QRT for 20 years until a year ago, I
had not kept up with these new innovations in ham radio like
DX-clusters, spotting, logging software w/ electronic keying, etc. Thus
the contesting experience now is quite different from what it used to
be in late 70's...
Until the CQWW CW contest last fall I had not taken an interest in
finding out what clusters did in conection with contesting (I had
understood it was used in 'normal' operation to make fellow hams aware
of interesting DX station activity).
Running 100W with a vertical dipole (Force12 Sigma5 - excellent stuff),
I am basically an S&P contester. However, once and a while on an open
10 meters band it is tempting to act like the 'big shots'; find a free
spot and call CQ contest.
Normally, with some hard work and patience I manage to pull in a few US
callers this way. In one of my few attempts on keeping a frequency
this way in the named CQWW CW contest, I suddenly had a massive wall of
callers - whow - what an experience. I had fun for as long as it
lasted, but it died out after a while. At the time I thought it was
purely due to good luck and a relatively strong signal over there for a
moment in time.
After the contest I started wondering what actually could have caused
this momentary rush to contact me. Aha, maybe clusters could have
something to do with it? I made a 'spot archive lookup' on the
DX-central. And right enough, there was my call listed (by W3LPL I
think it was - thanks by the way) just at the time when I had the
momentary 140 QSO's per hour run.
Enough said; but my point is that it had a tremendous effect on my QSO
rate - from some 30-40/hour in 'S&P mode' to 140/hour in 'spotted
mode'. I just can imagine how stations begging to be spotted can
enhance their score and outperform their competition by egoistic
rudeless active use of sharp elbows.

I was asked by no less than 10 European stations to put them on the cluster
during ARRL DX SSB...Two that come to mind are well known, high scoring
operations...READ THE RULES GUYS!!! I suspect this kind of violation could have
you turfed from the competition...

This doesn't go nearly far enough, IMHO. Yes, that's the way the rule is
written today, but I think we need to find a way to tighten up on this
considerably, else our contest games will (have?) degenerate into nothing
but a beauty contest.
Let's look at some possibilities which skate past this wording, but which I
think defy the intent of the rule and cause enormous damage to the integrity
of the game:
"Hey Bill, I'm going for a new record this coming weekend, and I really need
your help. Spot me early and spot me often...drum me up like you've never
done before!"
"OK, club members, let's put this club on the map. I'm going for a record
this weekend, and I need you ALL to spot me early and spot me often."
Get my drift? I'm not saying this has happened, though I'm seriously
wondering. I do think it's legal, per the rules, but I also think this kind
of stuff stinks. In the best of all worlds, cluster systems would die of
their own accord because people would come to understand the damage they are
doing to our hobby and decide they don't need a crutch. Failing that,
though, I do think we need to work toward some kind of system which would
defeat the kinds of attempts to defeat the system I mentioned above. We
could never get all the local clusters to shut down during contests, but
there are just a few key connection points which could be disabled if we all
could come to a consensus on this. Else, as I'm said, we're running a
beauty contest. And I don't think I'm up to competing in that kind of a
game!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] An ounce of prevention...
Message-ID: <cmb6nufi2p4ckh1.070320021511@designet-jsi>
While not everything was perfect for us during last weekends ARRL DX SSB
Contest, one thing went extremely well. Here's the story...
We were a casual M/2 operation. On Sunday morning, I was operating 10m and W1VE
was on the 15m station. We were running like crazy. Suddenly, there was a power
glitch in the house. The Acom amps turned off. All the digital clocks in the
house were blinking. The refrigerator went through its self-test sequence.
Except for having to restart the Acom amps, the entire contest station -
radios, computers, accessories - stayed on-the-air . We didn't miss a beat.
Why? A few months ago, after some disastrous brushes with lightning, one of the
protective measures I took was to buy a used 2kVA UPS on eBay. The unit powers
EVERY 110vac device in my office/shack. The UPS sustained the power to
everything through the glitch - eliminating what would have been, at a minimum,
a costly 30+ minute recovery process to get all the computers, logs and radios
back on-the-air. And, it could have been a lot worse than that! ["Excuse me,
ZF2MM, we had a little power failure up here. May I please have my frequency
back?" I don't think so.]
Needless to say, I highly recommend a UPS for the well-prepared contester's
shack!

Dear Howie,
Don't worry about the milliwatt. Yes, the logging programs roll it to 1
(for 1 watt). The robot will work it out.
There seems to be confusion regarding the 1000 watt indentifier as well.
Using the common k, kw, 1k, 1000 will all work. As far as the RST it must
be 59 or 599 (no abbreviations).
Hope that answers your question. Thank you for your email.

Hi Dan-
I might as well get the answer on this for next year..
A few qrp'ers gave us their milliwatts. Being an impatient soul, I quickly
logged as 1.
Technically, they should be logged as 0.1, 0.5, whatever.
How would you like us to log these (*&^%*& folks ?

What Guys said is accurate (of course). On the TRLog reflector Tree said
that the log chk program would convert all K and KWs to 1000 and then
proceed. I have no idea what is to be done with the 100mw entries we
occasionally got. 73.

Operator A goes to US multi op station. He works 30 hours and goes home.
Operator A gets on from home and spots multi op station he just left on
packet.
Operator A does this repeatedly on more than one band knowing full well the
spots are being populated to a global packet network.
Anyone besides me have a problem with that?
If so, what penalties, if any, are appropriate?

No. Not at all. When you are at home, you are no longer a part of the multi
operation. If you were still at the station & doing this, it is indeed
unethical.
But, then again, how do you control this? Can't.
As far as announcing operations in advance. What is the problem? Should it be
a secret? Nah. Should a station ask to be spotted, and often? Well, dunno.
Not really. But, again, how is it regulated? But, then again, why not?? As
long as it is PRIOR to the contest & not during it.

K5TR -
All I can say is very interesting research. I'm sure that
will spawn a lot of debate...and maybe others should
do a search as well....because...
I just ran a search on the DX-SUMMIT spot database and
found something very interesting as well....a spot from the
contest under MY call - looking like I posted YP3A -
the problem is, I didn't spot anyone during the contest,
because I'm not connected to the net at my ham computer.
NS3T 21246.5 YP3A YO2010 02 Mar 2002
That means "someone else" spotted YP3A - trying to
make it look like I did...probably trying to attract
some attention and extra QSO's.
I certainly can't prove that it was someone at YP3A, but
someone faked a spot by me - unethical and obviously
rather illegal.
That is unfortunate. I am sure it happened to others.

Hi George:
I didn't want to let this go by without comment. As one of the 40 meter
operators at W3LPL for the ARRL DX SSB contest, I made some of the spots
that you have listed.
Workload permitting, I will spot EVERY G3, DL5, ZF2, JA, etc., that I find
tuning the band. I certainly made no special effort to spot (or not to
spot) ZF2MM. Just another dupe! :-)

========================>
I have always tried to use mimicry and parrot repeats with an attempt to
show others how ridiculous they might actually be, in and on many platforms
of life.
As but example, I also posted for ZF2MM in the ARRL SSB test..... but look
at what my note was in that post.............. I was trying to arouse (
land to see how stupid their posts were becoming.
Those repeated 9 land posts for ZF2MM were more like a Jerry Lewis telethon
money begs than meaningful contributions to the performance of their fellow
contesters.
I, for one, resent being herded to a QSO like a fish to a net.
I like to think I herd more like a cat.
I have always used quotations and acts of blatantly dumb mimicry in the
hope that I might appear or sound so foolish as to bring others within reason.
IF I POST MYSELF IN A CONTEST ............ I WANT OTHERS TO SEE IT.
I WANT IT NOT LIKED.
I WANT OTHERS TO REALIZE IT IS WRONG AND STUPID.
And in consideration of same ,,,,,,,,,,,,, I do not send in my score on
contests where I do such acts.
For the 160 contest, and for ARRL SSB, my logs will ONLY serve as check logs.
I will always hope that others laughing with me (even "at" me if that is
what it takes) might arouse others to a deeper questioning of themselves
and their actions.
BTW, so as to better support your understanding of what I sometimes do.....
Have you ever heard 160 down here at 2100 ZULU ???
About the only thing I could have done to attempt to be more ridiculous
would have been to post myself at high noon.
As I recall, I posted myself as being on 160 during the ARRL SSB test, as well.
I believe I did my self post around noon time Texas time. Duh !?
You know, Ham radio and contesting IS JUST A HOBBY !
IT IS CERTAINLY TO BE ENJOYED.
Radio and contesting is certainly NOT to be a platform for cheating others
of their enjoyment.
Fine performances results in contests should be performance of high
standard, not necessarily performances of high scores.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Buying a UPS [Was: An ounce of prevention...]
Message-ID: <puxs341m0act3nz.080320020911@designet-jsi>
Since so many people have responded privately with questions, I thought I would
share some additional information with everyone.
How much capacity do I need in my UPS?
You need to know how much power will be drawn when the unit kickc in and the
length of time you want the mains voltage to be available to the equipment. APC
provides a calculator to help you figure this out
[http://www.apc.com/template/size/apc/].
What else should I look for in UPS features?
The only other thing that's nice is the "unattended server shutdown" feature.
This is a piece of software on your computer that connects to the UPS over a
serial port, and detects when the UPS has gone active. It then gracefully shuts
down the computer. Some UPSs and their software can handle multiple computers.
This is great if you are away from the shack when the power fails.
What companies sell these things?
APC www.apc.com
Tripplite
How much should I pay for a UPS?
As much as you want. You can buy low-power units at Wallmart or Costco or BJ's
for under $100. I bought a used commercial unit APC Smart UPS 2200 RM3U on ebay
[www.ebay.com] for $600. This unit is a 2200VA rack-mount system. You can pay a
lot more for more power. There are all kinds of deals on ebay. Enter "APC UPS"
in the search engine. The only thing you need to watch out for is whether the
batteries are dead. All you can do on ebay is ask specifically and trust the
seller. On the other hand, there is a strong secondary market for good
batteries. This is because some safety regulations actually require scheduled
battery replacement - whether the batteries are good or bad.
That's about all I know!

RE: An ounce of prevention...
While not everything was perfect for us during last weekends ARRL DX SSB
Contest, one thing went extremely well. Here's the story...
We were a casual M/2 operation. On Sunday morning, I was operating 10m and W1VE
was on the 15m station. We were running like crazy. Suddenly, there was a power
glitch in the house. The Acom amps turned off. All the digital clocks in the
house were blinking. The refrigerator went through its self-test sequence.
Except for having to restart the Acom amps, the entire contest station -
radios, computers, accessories - stayed on-the-air . We didn't miss a beat.
Why? A few months ago, after some disastrous brushes with lightning, one of the
protective measures I took was to buy a used 2kVA UPS on eBay. The unit powers
EVERY 110vac device in my office/shack. The UPS sustained the power to
everything through the glitch - eliminating what would have been, at a minimum,
a costly 30+ minute recovery process to get all the computers, logs and radios
back on-the-air. And, it could have been a lot worse than that! ["Excuse me,
ZF2MM, we had a little power failure up here. May I please have my frequency
back?" I don't think so.]
Needless to say, I highly recommend a UPS for the well-prepared contester's
shack!

I don't know if that's a violation of the letter of the rules, but certainly
it's a violation of the spirit, as in "good operating practice." If it's
real persistant, then it may need to be addressed.
On the same line, I had a bunch of EU station (and not neccesarily "rare"
ones) ask me to spot them during the contest. In each case, I declined and
asked them if that wasn't a rules violation. A few said "sorry," a few said
"I don't know, I didn't read the rules" and just about all asked the next
station or asked me again on another band. (And it is a rules infraction, I
checked).

Operator A goes to US multi op station. He works 30 hours and goes home.
Operator A gets on from home and spots multi op station he just left on
packet.
Operator A does this repeatedly on more than one band knowing full well the
spots are being populated to a global packet network.
Anyone besides me have a problem with that?
If so, what penalties, if any, are appropriate?

In amongst today's mail was my first "QSL" from the ARRL DX Phone -- an OO
notice complaining about my contact with one of the Italian 2x1's -- an Out
of Band violation, to be specific. Now, interestingly enough, it doesn't
say what frequency I was allegedly on, but informed me that on 20 I should
stay below 14.347 (which I thought I had). Even more interesting, the
entire form and most of the information EXCEPT for my call, the DX call, &
the time of the infraction was filled out in advance and photocopied.
My point here is not per se to berate the OO. My point is that we must all
watch the band edges in contests, as there are obviously people prepared,
eager, and ready with the OO forms. Maybe just a little too prepared to my
tastes.

This was an error - if you look at the list you will notice
that the first half of the list is sorted by the number of

Of course, what *may* have happened is that the

that he/she prepared the forms to cut down on the

When they announced on the DX freq (below 7100 on SSB) what I had just done,

Hmmmm. So let me get this right. You are now supposed to keep all future
operations in a contest secret?
You can't tell your fellow club members to get on & make a Q with you, prior to
the event?? C'mon guys, get real!
I find it VERY refreshing that a CONTEST club rallies around a fellow member
that is CONTESTING! You know what? If you take away a certain N9 station's
spots for ZF2MM, whats the problem? Are we now limited to spotting only weak
stations? Or rare stations? Or stations not spotted yet?
Sounds like sour grapes a little bit! I wasn't asked to spot ZF2MM, by ZF2MM,
DURING the contest. I heard him on. I spotted him. Am I bad guy for doing
this????? NOT!

I agree that the list provided by K5TR ( see
http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/cq-contest/2002-March/046632.html )
was extreme and some people were aggressive in spotting ZF2MM. But didn't
everyone in the contest benefit from Paul's marketing before the contest,
and from the spots? Consider the following:
Maybe a VY0, who had no intention of getting on, got on because Paul asked
him to. Maybe the VY0 worked a few other stations as well. Aren't those
DX stations glad Paul did some pre-contest marketing? Maybe a DX station
saw spots for the VY0, needed it for a new prefix, and decided to stick
around and work a few more US/VE stations. Maybe it was a new multiplier
for you, and the only one you worked in the contest. Aren't you glad Paul
did some pre-contest marketing?
I know that's a lot of "maybe's", but who knows how this would have all
worked out. Maybe the VY0 and the DX station would have been on anyway.
It seems like every month this reflector is fraught with complaints about
how contest ranks are dwindling and we need more activity. Last month the
"topic-du-jour" was the ARRL contemplating removal of contest scores from
QST. Doesn't Paul's pre-contest marketing help promote the ARRL DX
contest, and contesting in general? Maybe if there were more people
participating in the ARRL contests, looking for their call in print, the
ARRL would continue publishing scores in QST? Some people complain that we
need more activity, some people complain when we promote contesting, some
people just like to complain, some people complain because they have
nothing to complain about.
I don't know if there was a VY0 on last weekend or not. I didn't check
DX-Summit. I just made that up.

There is something that hasn't been addressed. Be sure
that the UPS is always in the circuit, not one that gets
switched in when AC mains fail. That would be OK for
lights, but not computers. Working in TV (2 stations)

Pre-contest publicity is allowable. Friends aggressively spotting a
station during the contest is an entirely different matter. Any evidence
ZF2MM requested this, no. Should this be encouraged, no.
Paul, K9PG, is a great operator. He doesn't need this "help" from the
peanut gallery.
What if many members of a large club decide that since one of them is
going to be in CQWW and wants to win for the World , then the members
will get on and work that station. No problem.
However, what if there is an agreement that all the members will spot
that station during the contest?
Does it not create a beast called single operator assisted ?

I think this is pretty much the design standard, at least for small
self-contained UPSes.
There are some amazing deals out there from time to time -- I got a new 300
VA APC UPS for $10 from Staples after a mail-in rebate. It's not enough to
power everything computer related in the shack, but it supports my CPU
quite nicely. Since installing it, I've never had an outage of more than
about 2 seconds, but I've had hundreds of the little glitches and dips that
would have caused my computer to reset otherwise. It's very pleasing to
hear the UPS beeeeep and know that I've just dodged another bullet,
especially in the middle of a good run.

Italians are loud in the U.S. not because they use excessive power, but they
have good antennas with big rotors. (that is why they need 3 phase power for
the shack. I am in the process to order one of the better Italian antennas
for my QTH.

a couple features requested to allow for larger fonts for those running
high resolution monitors or needing extra size for readability. It will
now also restore the saved window configuration so it should always

to the tnc control that should allow use of tnc's like the kpc9612 that
have 2 ports. You can also now control weather the user gets

Maybe I'm missing something guys & gals but if you're turned off by
packet, why do you use it during a contest? I see this thread time after
time yet, some people continue to use packet and complain about how bad it
is.
Contesting for most of us is about having a good time. If packet is
diminishing your enjoyment or it's pushing you to the point of mocking
others who use it, you might want to consider turning it off for a change.

This is a good question and I do know the answer.
My gut feeling is that any marketing done is usually done
with the intention to help the person doing the marketing.
I was prompted to post the list of ZF2MM packet spots after
Bruce (ZF2NT) posted this message to CQ Contest:
http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/2002-March/046626.html
I found this message very interesting for two reasons.
1. I agree with his concerns.
2. ZF2MM was operating from ZF2NT's station.
Bruce brings up what I think are very valid concerns and
he goes on to give some examples. If you have not read his
post please do so now.
The point that Bruce brings up is, do we want contests to
be about operating or do we want them to be about
(as VE3FU calls it) marketing?
I have gotten some email since I posted the list of packet
spots. A few people say "DQ ZF2MM", some say big deal
he got some friends to spot him and others are upset because
their call is on the list.
I do not think that ZF2MM should be DQed.
I do think we (the contesting community) should discuss
how we feel about the "marketing" of contests. This was
not the first time and I am sure it will not be the last time
that someone feels the need to do this in order to make a
good score in a contest.
I am not sure that the increased packet spots helped ZF2MM's
score much (I could be wrong) and it is possilbe that they
might have even hurt it by turing some folks off to working him.
The real issue goes beyond the ZF2MM effort and it is
what Bruce talks about in his message, do we want
contesting to come down to some sort of "beauty contest"?
My answer to this is, No.
The contest should be about operating during the contest.
It should *not* be about:
- How many skeds you can make with mults before the contest.
- How many emails you can send to folks.
- How many times you get spotted on packet.
- How many unique "buddy" contacts you can make.
- How many T-shirts you can send to folks.
- How many banner ads you can buy on some web site.
Do we want the contest to be defined or have the outcome
altered by any of the above?
I know that I don't.
I operate contests because I find them fun. I enjoy the challenge
provided by the bands, from within myself and from fellow contesters.

You need a "Band Decoder" in between the ICE 419 and your 1000MP.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Spotting
Message-ID: <3C8A1C6D.68E8@erols.com>
IMHO,
Spotting/announcing done outside the actual 'contest period' seems like it
would not
fall afoul of the rules in any context or intent, but could be construed as a
bother or
a bit 'much' based on the quantity and type of 'spot' provided. Too much of a
good
thing is not good! HI!
I don't think anyone will argue that repetitive spotting during a contest
period is a
bad thing, especially if different stations do it at random (unscheduled or
unplanned) times within a given period. Those kinds of repetitive spots are not
bad even
if they appear fairly closely spaced in time. New stations are coming to the
clusters
all the time and what's 'old' to me may be a new mult to them.
For example - W3LPL spots a station at 1524Z. I'm running stations and not
paying close
attention to the spots. The screen scrolls quickly (as it often does) and LPL's
spot
disappears off the screen. Then I do S&P and at 1538 I tune across the same
station as
previously spotted by LPL, I don't need 'em so it wasn't on my list of avaiable
mults/calls so I don't know it's already been spotted, but someone else might
so I spot
'em. If you have already worked 'em he won't show.. if not. he will.
Likewise, as others come across the same station they might spot 'em at fairly
close
intervals. This is repetitive, but usually it's just the spot without the
repetitive
'cheerleading comments' that are usually appended to the repetitive spotting
being
disucssed such as with the ZF2MM example.
Repetitive spotting by different stations at closely spaced times does not seem
to be a
problem with anyone. What bugs people (me included) is the same station(s)
doing
specific stations over and over and over and over. Couple this with the
comments and
they are OBVIOUSLY trying to attract attention to teh station for some reason.
One COULD intimate that the spotter is a shill for the station and has
prearranged to
act as the contest spotter for that station. This would appear to be the case
with the
ZF2MM example given and many (myself included) would have valid concerns that
this is
nothing more than a dodge used to (technically) avoid running afoul of the ARRL
rule
that clearly prohibits stations from either asking to be spotted or stations
self-spotting themselves during the contest.
Yes, it can be argued that ZF2MM was not *TECHNICALLY SPEAKING* (during the
contest
period) - asking for, nor self-spotting himself. But the context of the
comments and the
repetitive nature of spotting by one or two stations makes it abundantly clear
that such
can be legitimately construed as the reason for all the spots since it appears
quite
likely that it was a Club member at ZF2MM and a Club member doing the spotting.
Even if
not so... there is a definite odor to the effort that raises eyebrows and
raises questions about conflicts of interest and the like.
Perhaps the basic action in this case would be for stations to apply the
well-understood
premise that the 'spirit and intent' of the rule be observed rather than the
'strict
letter or the law' which normally applies.
As for the station who works at a M/M then goes home and spots the station they
just
operated from, technically, again, not a violation, IMHO, but does raise an
odor and
questions. ONe thing I've learned about M/M's .. they usually find themselves
being
spotted quite a bit, regardless, based upon the nature of being a M/M and being
on the
air on many bands for a L O N G period of the contest.

Might be something to think about here.
8P5A should have known ahead of time he didn't have a chance against ZF2MM.
The 9 land herding spots just insured this probability.
If you're not on packet, then you shouldn't let it bother you that

He probably would have had to have pre-printed notices to cover everyone
caught transmitting above 14.347. Heck, I would have needed them to cover
everyone *I* heard up there while S&Ping around the band!
We're not talking about 14347.2 either. (which might arguably be OK if you
trust your 2.1KHz filter to properly scrub your transmitted signal) We're
talking about well above 348. Some, above 350.
Seems the offending CQers were just about always DX, but that doesn't make
it any more legal for the W's who answer...

Al is right on target with this issue.
Such pre-arrangements are not "legal".
Pre-arranging for this type of "assistance" crosses the line into
"multi-operator" area. As most of these other operators are not physically
at the subject station, even this is a violation of the rules.
If they are somehow considered part of a multi-operator or assisted
station's operation (although remote, and ignoring the above for a moment),
self-spotting is also prohibited.
All of this type of activity extends the number of operators and geographic
spread of these operations. There's nothing in the rules to permit it.

peanut gallery."
Nor the bad press I would imagine.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Italian power explained - Lirawatts
Message-ID: <166.a107927.29bb853b@aol.com>
The reason everyone is perplexed by the Italian wattages is that they are
omitting the conversion factor. Italians use Lirawatts rather than standard
watts as defined in the MKS system of measure !
The Lirawatt is somewhat hard to define in absolute terms, since to
accurately measure it you have to go "behind the curtain" where access is
rarely granted.
Our researchers at the National Bureau of Standards have indicated that the
Lirawatt is roughly equivalent to 10 to 15 watts as defined by the NBS.

Try listening just above the band edge during a contest and you will quickly

Subject: [CQ-Contest] UPS Standby vs Online
Message-ID: <000f01c1c7b4$4bf9fe40$1b494140@delta>
Please forgive me if my information is dated. However, I believe
this is still true. Please forgive me if I am not entirely accurate as
I've not re-investigated this in recent years when APC took over
the small "UPS/SPS" market by storm.
Since at least the early 80's UPS were basically of three
types (we'll leave out the motor generator types from years before):
The truly "online" types like SOLA sold. The "switching" types of
which most if not all APC units (at least the small ones) are and
one novel design that I first saw from Unison (later purchased by
Tripplite).
The Sola's used ferro-resonant transformers and capacitors to
regulate and store energy. It has been too many years and I don't
recall all specifics but basically the transformer would accommodate
voltage swings of 20%...all the time if necessary. This would help in
instances of deep prolonged brownouts and poor voltage supply in
general. All without tapping its batteries. The online UPS continuously
charges batteries where power is drawn from and inverted to a poor
to reasonable facsimile of an AC sine wave. So if the power goes out
you are just losing your battery charger. Power continues to be drawn
from the batteries. "No Break", as they were commonly referred to.
Topaz used rapid "tap switching" on their special transformers
to simulate the ferro-resonant action. Thus Sola, Topaz and others
also had voltage regulators without deep brownout or blackout
protection.
At that time the ability to "switch" in power from a battery source
within a few cycles or fractions thereof was not available (I presume).
Thus computers (perhaps the pickiest devices) needed true online
power supplies. Later, adequate "invisible" switching was possible
and companies like APC (American Power Conversion) based
their designs on that. This reduced the parts count and other
undesirable things like the relative inefficiency of the FR transformer
with its associated heat generation and tendency to have very
noisy windings (both part and parcel of the way it works).
Thus "Standby Power Supplies" or SPS's were born, which
technically most of the advertised UPS's are.
The disadvantage of SPS's are that they cannot correct for deep
brownouts or continuous low voltage (to a degree) or overvoltage.
They are relying on passive MOV (Metal Oxide Varistors) and
other such things to take out surges. They rely on switching
in and out (repeatedly if necessary) the battery supply for continuing
low voltage. Perhaps okay for our application but I hope you can
turn off the "alarm beeps" or have good headphones or "head-CW
filters"... :-)
The current SPS's are fine for most applications today but not in
all situations. I have seen some discussion about even using them
on linear amplifiers. The main point of contention being whether
there is a sufficient lag where the amplifier (or transmitter) power
supplies cannot ride through without affecting instantaneous peak
demands by modulation. Perhaps a moot point for all but the
"max power" or signal purists :-).
The third type, which I don't know if Tripplite still employs in
some or all of their designs, looked like a "T" configuration where
they used batteries in series up to 120VDC (or was it half that?)
and used the same circuit to charge them as well as invert to AC
when needed. Still truly uninterruptible (so they claimed) as
opposed to standby switched but with a lesser part count and
attendant complexity. Maybe achieving better reliability and cost.
So the moral is to understand your true power and (surge) load
situation. Then before you select a solution see if the kind you
select will really do the job. I have used all three with success.
Also, understand whether your loads will tolerate the often less
than perfect sine wave that some UPS produce. A good article I
saw years ago had oscilloscope pictures of the various "pseudo
sine waves" the tested units produced. Quite alarming. I hope
they have improved since then.
Please pardon the bandwidth and degree of "off topic" but
I hope this helps some understand the differences.
Oh, and motor generator types were mostly used in backing
up large main frame computer systems. Large, massive
wheel-type mechanical energy storage (then converted to
electricity) devices have been around for years before.

I think this is pretty much the design standard, at least for small
self-contained UPSes.
There are some amazing deals out there from time to time -- I got a new 300
VA APC UPS for $10 from Staples after a mail-in rebate. It's not enough to
power everything computer related in the shack, but it supports my CPU
quite nicely. Since installing it, I've never had an outage of more than
about 2 seconds, but I've had hundreds of the little glitches and dips that
would have caused my computer to reset otherwise. It's very pleasing to
hear the UPS beeeeep and know that I've just dodged another bullet,
especially in the middle of a good run.

Steve, you are right. OOs send out "OFFICIAL OBSERVER ADVISORY NOTICE".
W2CC, must been sitting on S51CK's frequency and copied calls of stations
worked him in the contest. According to David, (S51CK & KE1F, me) was
transmitting on 14349.31, our sideband was out of the band. My logging
program did not know that.
Gee, could someone tell me what is a legal way to inform S51CK that he was

Message-ID: <002901c1c7b8$97054760$13b94618@wp.shawcable.net>
Hi,
It would seem to me that a few rules speak to this issue:
The first is the reference to station location and the requirement that all
equipment, including antennas, be located on the station owner's property or
within a 500-foot radius, whichever is greater.
If you participate in activities for the benefit of your M/M effort from
your home either as part of a M/M team or as a friend of an operator in the
Caribbean (different residence than station), is this rule not then being
violated?
Another is the rule that in various forms essentially says that an operator
can use only one call for the contest. Now, in fairness, I think this rule
is applied according to situation: in other words an operator who leaves the
station to pick up food then calls back on 2m for directiosn to the pizzaria
would be fine, if technically in violation.
I think someone who goes home and uses his call to pad the packet spots
would invite enforcement.
I also think that depending on how the request was made, the prohibition
against using non-amateur means to solicit contacts may also apply.
So yes, I'd have to say the practice of encouraging others to spot you
violates rules on a few levels.
But I don't see how pre-contest publicity violates any rule, especially
given the long-standing practice of DX-pedition anouncements.

For the life of me, I do not understand why everyone is so upset at an OO
a volunteer task that is trying to, in his/her own way keep the tradition
alive
of the ham bands policing themselves. This very rare in today's climate.
The folks are seriously trying to inform you of your misdeeds before
the FCC sends out one of those notices. I received an OO card a few
contests ago for, I believe, the same infraction that most of the guys here
are talking about. That of being too close to the band edge.I do believe the
rule still states that if any part of your signal is heard outside the band
edges,
then you are operating outside the band.
I used to be an OO a very long time ago, and Iremember what a thankless
job it was
then and apparently it still is. You used to be able to show that you
equipment met
certain standards, and I imagine that it is the same today.
After mentioning the self policing that we used to do, why don't hams tell
other hams when their signal sounds bad? It absolutely flabbergasts me to
hear a
CW signal with a super loud hum and chirp and when you mention it to the
operator
they rarely even acknowledge that you said anything, and if they do, they
just keep on
plugging.
The same applies to SSB also, distorted signals that are extremely
difficult to copy.
You know, communications microphones are supposed to be close talked...i.e,
lips
VERY near the wind screen. If you are talking a distance away from the mic,
then you
have to turn the gain up to get enough output, then all the background
noise is competing
with your voice. For those of you that disagree...go ahead, but why not try
to get a friend to test this
with you sometime on the air.
I think our South American friends are probably some of the worst about

I don't know how other software works, but the spots stay in CT's bandmap
for an hour. As I tune around the bands, I spot only stations that are not
already in CT's bandmap (i.e. haven't been spotted in the last hour), or

There was a S51 station on two afternoons running on a very clear
frequency at about 14348.5. I was tempted to call him since I had
worked everyone else I could hear calling CQ and I couldn't hear well
enough to CQ myself, but an OO report from an earlier contest when I
called an EA station at about that frequency taught me not to even make
a quick call. I guess it may not be of as much concern to the DX
stations, but they no doubt lure a lot of US stations into violations
toward the upper end of 20 and possibly 15.

No one seems to have answered Bob's question...
Official Observers are not focused on reporting intruders within ham bands.
For more info:

Tom,
Again, my intent with the original post was to remind folks to watch the
band edges (which I was doing, incidently), not to berate the OO. He just
struck me as a little TOO prepared to nail people -- like the cops at the
speed trap in a community north of Pittsburgh (said community had illegally
lowered the speed limit on State Route 65 within their borders, and then
nabbed people who didn't have enough time to drop from 55 to 40 MPH) who had
their tickets filled out with everything except the date, time, and license
plate. Odd -- but still, if he's right, he's right. Annoying, but right.
But even though I didn't identify him, it's amazing how many people knew
exactly whom I was talking about. Right down to the style of envelope the
notice came in, and age of the stamps on it.

That does bring up one DX station I ran into on 40m - wish I could remember

On the one hand, a simple rule change to prohibit mass-spotting might be in
order. On the other, enforcing it could prove difficult, and someone
determined enough would find a way around it. And penaling the M/S or M/M
station for mass spotting could backfire -- there are those who'd do it just
to get someone DQ'd.
Probably best to express displeasure at this antic in forums like this one,
and hope the offenders will not do so in the future.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] M/Ms spotting from home and by friends
Hi,
It would seem to me that a few rules speak to this issue:
The first is the reference to station location and the requirement that all
equipment, including antennas, be located on the station owner's property or
within a 500-foot radius, whichever is greater.
If you participate in activities for the benefit of your M/M effort from
your home either as part of a M/M team or as a friend of an operator in the
Caribbean (different residence than station), is this rule not then being
violated?
Another is the rule that in various forms essentially says that an operator
can use only one call for the contest. Now, in fairness, I think this rule
is applied according to situation: in other words an operator who leaves the
station to pick up food then calls back on 2m for directiosn to the pizzaria
would be fine, if technically in violation.
I think someone who goes home and uses his call to pad the packet spots
would invite enforcement.
I also think that depending on how the request was made, the prohibition
against using non-amateur means to solicit contacts may also apply.
So yes, I'd have to say the practice of encouraging others to spot you
violates rules on a few levels.
But I don't see how pre-contest publicity violates any rule, especially
given the long-standing practice of DX-pedition anouncements.

The first is APC; the second is from the UPS reflector about the es350.

Mark,
The batteries in a UPS are lead-acid, same as a car battery. They do
wear out after a while. I have 4 UPSs between home and office. I've
replaced batts in 2 of them, I'd say averaging 4-5 years of use.
One way to test it is pull the UPS's plug out of the wall. If the computer
doesn't stay powered up, you need a new battery. Theoretically,
something else could be wrong with the UPS, but it's very unlikely.
I bought my replacement batts on Ebay.

Mark,
Somebody at work had a whole bunch of little APC UPSs
set up in a battery replacement triage a few months ago.
Apparently they got them for free because all of the
batteries were dead. They just dropped in new gel cells
and they were all as good as new. Don't know where they
got the new batteries, but I assume they are readily available
(they are probably standard cells) since the electronics generally
outlives them.
I can find out if you like.
Mike, W4EF.............

West representative
Message-ID: <01c1c7e2$9fe4e8c0$LocalHost@default>
CHANGE IN THE U.S WEST WRTC2002 REPRESENTATION
The WRTC2002 Organizing Committee assembled a team of representatives a
little over a year ago to provide several valuable services for the WRTC2002
games. We were fortunate to obtain financial services by the Northern
California DX Foundation, Inc and Bruce, W6OSP and Rusty, W6OAT.
We had also appointed US Regional representatives: Bob, K4UEE - South, Jeff,
K1ZM -East and Dennis, K7BV -West have performed remarkable fund raising work
in their respective areas. The entire group, further assisted by Bob, K3EST,
has provided the group in Finland with practical support, advise, guidance
and counseling.
This support has kept the spirit alive - emails are crossing the Atlantic
not daily but hourly. The group in Finland has no doubt that the upcoming
WRTC event is now well recognized and valued by the entire Amateur Radio
community. The stage for a wonderful event is being steadily set in a
professional manner. We are comfortable that this will be a memorable event for
all attendees:
regardless of whether they are a competitor or part of the enthusiastic
cheering crowd of well wishers.
Dennis, K7BV is about to take a new job on the snowy East Coast thus he will
turn over his regional responsibility to Steve Merchant, K6AW. Steve is a
seasoned contester at KC1XX, N6RO, HC8N, well suited to the activity, and a
frequent traveler to Finland. In fact, he operated the recent ARRL DX Contest
from the Aland Islands as OH0R.
Promoting and representing WRTC2002 has taken Dennis, K7BV to all continents
except Africa - all at his own expense. The effort has been very determined and
highly valued by all of us. We thank you kindly, Dennis. Instead of losing him,
we would like to use his energy and expertise in a new capacity, announced
today. We are pleased to invite Dennis to be an Honorary WRTC Ambassador at
Large, with the assumption that he will be personally seeing all WRTC delegates
upon their arrival in Finland.
The Organizing Committee of WRTC2002 would like to welcome Steve, K6AW on
board and thank all of our area representatives and supporters in the U.S and
elsewhere. We also wish Dennis, K7BV all the best of luck with his new
challenges.

Message-ID: <d8jxuypzk2x8qli.100320020757@designet-jsi>
I think Tom, K5IID, is right on the money in his comments about the OO.
I have no problem at all with the OO using a photocopier to simplify his job.
If the OO only sent out the proper report in a timely manner, and didn't abuse
his position or malign the offender in what he wrote, then he did his job
correctly. If photocopying allowed him to make more violators aware of their
alleged transgressions, this is probably a good thing.
It seems to me that the OO community can defend a position that they are taking
a pretty liberal approach to their activities vis a vis contesting. In the
current FCC enforcement climate, they could argue that any contester who
operates within a crowded band, but outside a recommended bandplan, deserves an
OO notice. This based on the recent statements by FCC that bandplans are part
of "good amateur practice" and that frequency disputes will be adjudicated in
favor of amateurs who are observing the plan.
Food for thought.

Congratulations to the sponsors of the Russian DX Contest. They have a
fantastic web site about the contest with rules, results, and records.
I was impressed by several innovations to contest results reporting. The
score listings are done by country and by category. This makes it possible
to see how you did against everyone without having to search through all the
country scores.
Even more interesting, they list the claimed score, the final score, the
percentage of the log that was cross checked, and the percentage of unique
QSOs. I think this is the first contest that has presented this level of
detail on the "quality" of log checking and of each operator.
I look forward to other contest results that are published on the web to do
the same.

Back in the late 70's I visited a well known G3 Contest station. He had the
100 watt transceiver with a small linear that could do 300 or 400 watts out.
They did have nice antennas but I asked how they did so well (against the
300 watt I's). He said the secret was the "antenna tuner" which was mounted
in a big drawer. The tuner had several 3-500Z's and a 4KV power supply.

The gell cell batteries for APC UPS are available from APC
or, more conveniently, places like Batteries Plus, Interstate
Batteries, etc. A web search will find dozens of places
selling the replacement batteries via mail order.
Try to check the UPS before buying a replacement battery.
Once in a while, they will lose the switching transistors
and a replacement battery won't do you any good. Check
the battery with five amps of 13.5 volt ... if it shows
good voltage and life, the UPS is bad. Most of the batteries
in the smaller (200 to 400 VA) UPS are rated for 5 to 7
Amp-hours (enough to provide five to 10 minutes operating
time at rated output).

Ron -
I believe that most who have read your post understand
that you aren't berating the OO.
Having said that -
Could you, perhaps, still be jumping to a conclusion?
You *assume* that he/she was sitting there, stack of forms
in hand, thirsting to nail folks. Actually, you don't *really*
know, what procedure the OO followed, and your comments
are based upon pure speculation.
Methinks you're too worried about the process. You
seem to appreciate the fact that the OO took the time
to help. Why continue to worry about the process, a
process that you actually know nothing about?
Suggestion: Write the OO a note of thanks! OO's spend
long hours toiling on the bands, receiving very little thanks
in return, generally no thanks at all.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Cable modem questions
Message-ID: <000701c1c84f$ab190600$03539718@ubr.charterne.com>
Hi Guys,
I currently use the basic Ethernet card with a Motorola SB4100 Modem to get
Charter Pipeline service (about 750k bandwith) to my Dell Win98 computer.
I would like to network this computer with another Win98 computer in the
shack (downstairs and about 50 feet away).
I was told that I have two basic options:
1) Buy a router (about $90 at Staples) and about 50' of Category 5 cable
together with another Ethernet card and Motorola Modem SB4100 modem and then
install and hook everything up (and hope that it works).
2) Buy a wireless router (about $150) and Two high end Ethernet cards (about
$100) and the Motorola modem and then install same.
I am wondering about the potential issues for each....
For Scenario #1, by far the simplest, I wonder about the degradation of
signal over 50' of category 5 cable to the upstairs computer. I also wonder
about the potential RFI problem of transmitting legal limit power and having
the 50' cable run act as an antenna. I know that I can use ferrite beads to
reduce the effects of RFI but I still wonder about the signal degradation
over such a long length of cable.
What about the RFI to the router located 10' away from the transmitter. Is
this an issue that anyone has in their station? If so, how is it solved?
Scenario #2
If I go wireless, will the legal limit RF create a problem with the router
and the wireless signals?
Also, if there is a wireless signal now, wouldn't it be easy for anyone in
close proximity to my qth to access either or both computers and get data
from my files? Security is a real concern to me.
I currently use Zonealarm ver 2.6 as a firewall on both computers but my
understanding is that this is excellent protection against people trying to
invade from the "outside" but I don't know if it will protect against
invasions against interecepted wireless signals and my transmissions by the
wireless router.
Can anyone provide practical info on these issues?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

The difference is that it is illegal for US stations to operate LSB on
7.150. It is NOT illegal for most European stations to operate LSB
below 7.040. It might be against the *gentlemans agreed* bandplan but
it is not illegal. Big difference.

I think everyone who has ever received an (in)famous "POPKIN-GRAM" should
keep it as a memento of becoming a member of the club. Perhaps we can see
who gets the first 5-band RAP (Received All Popkin-Gram) for 80-10? Mixed
mode? 6-band? the possibilities are endless! They've been coming out
since the mid-60's I believe so there may be eligible hams out there.

Bob,
You have more options.
First of all, you do not NEED a router. You might decide it's the best
option, but it's not necessary.
I would add these additional options...
3. Add a hub. Put the hub in a convenient location. Route a Cat 5
ethernet cable from each computer to that hub.
4. Kiss off both the router idea and the hub if you don't mind using some
older technology. Use 10Base2 ethernet: RG59/U coax to a BNC connector on
the ethernet card (you need to buy an ethernet card that is either a combo
or a BNC-only card) on each computer. The computers basically are wired
together. At each computer you have a BNC Tee connector, the unused port of
which has a BNC terminating plug on it. 10Base2 networks have as a
disadvantage a speed limit of 10Mbps, which is still plenty fast enough for
your broadband connection at 765K.
I use both cat5 and the RG59 versions in the shack. 3 computers tied with
10base2 and another with the 3 via a hub and cat5. I don't run legal limit,
being constrained by my SB220, but still around a KW or so. Not a peep of
RFI among the network of 4 computers ALL in the ham shack within 20 ft of
the rig. Total RG59 coax length/cat5 around 50 ft or so. (I have lots of
excess cable using prepared lengths). Of those in my geographic area that I
know use LANs, none has experienced any RFI on ethernet lines, so I conclude
that it is uncommon and you should NOT expect a problem.
With options 1 thru 4 you will use file/printer sharing of Win98 along with
Win98's Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), I presume, so that both 'puters
will access each other and the internet. Since ICS maps the "remote"
computer address to that of the internet-connected computer, your ISP is
generally unaware that the sharing is going on. Two ISP accounts are not
required. The zone alarm you use today with your broadband link will still
work in an ICS LAN configuration and if you only access the internet thru
the ICS gateway, will not be required on the "remote" computer any longer.
You didn't state what program you are using to act as the PPPoE client on
the Dell (the pgm that talks thru the ethernet card to the external modem).
But, if you decide to use ICS to allow sharing of the broadband connection
with the downstairs computer, you might run into some complexity with the
(lack of) PPPoE/ICS support in Win98. I ended up installed RASPPPOE, a
freeware program, and kissing off my ISP's PPPoE application to make the
sharing work. RASPPPOE is highly thought of, BTW.
As for interception of the radiated wireless signals, I see no way zone
alarm can be of assistance there.
I've never tried wireless LANs and will read this thread with interest to
see others' experiences vis-a-vis RFI.
GL/73,
Gary W2CS

Back in the late early 70's time frame, I was busily trying to break a
pileup on 15-Meter CW. I hadn't gotten my Extra Class license yet (I
only had an Advanced), and was sending my call repeatedly with the rest
of the mob.
Several weeks later, I received a violation notice ("Reply in Duplicate
Within 10 Days!") from the FCC - I believe it was from the Spokane, WA
monitoring station. They noted that the band edge was 21.025 MHz for
Advanced Class licensees, and I had been observed operating on 21.02476
MHz. Of course, I replied immediately, and never heard anything further.
I learned several things from that FCC letter:
* The FCC had some good high-speed CW operators.
* The FCC's frequency readout was better than my Drake Twins with the
analog dial (which were "state of the art" gear back then.)
* The FCC was in the "enforcement" business back then.
* The FCC had lots of "free time" to cruise through the ham bands.
* The FCC guys probably did a big business during DXpeditions with their
"pink slips" (the one I got was white).
* The FCC probably had a few chuckles sending out the violation notices
since they knew that the hams receiving them really had just
"accidentally" been out-of-band ever so slightly.
I kept the letter so that I could frame it someday, hang it on the wall
in the ham shack, and be able to show visitors "how the FCC used to
work."
Where were the OO's, instead? I did get a couple of key-click notices
from them in the mid-1960's using my Heathkit DX-40 transmitter (and
eventually a postcard from the FCC!)
Oh, and yes, I did get through the pileup, and received the QSL card.
Funny thing though, the Callbook had mistakenly listed me as having an
"Extra" class license for a few years.....

FWIW, I use both approaches at my Truckee, CA QTH with no problem. My shack is
about 150' from the antenna which, unfortunately, points straight back at it
when beaming the East Coast. I run 1.5KW. In the shack is one end of about 150'
of Cat 5 to a cable modem/router upstairs and on the other side of the house. I
think the spec for Cat 5 is 500' so your cable is short. Also on my cable
modem/router is a separate wireless router intended to serve my son's apartment
across the driveway. In fact, his wireless laptop is usable almost anywhere in
either building. No RFI has ever been detected entering the network. Although I
have intermittent, unidentified RFI entering my receiver, mainly on 10-20,
powering off both the cable modem and the wireless router shows that they are
not the culprits.
Wireless routers are insecure unless you tell them to encrypt everything. Then
they can be very (but of course not completely) secure. According to my son
(KC6YEW but he'd rather use the Internet, Thank You), you can use up to 128 bit
encryption with many of these wireless routers, so only a very determined
intruder could access anything. Every machine that relies on a wireless modem
to access the network has to be informed of the security key. I don't think
your firewall impacts security of the wireless environment positively or
negatively.

It seems this request (both prior to and during a
contest) to "spot" someone comes all too often. I
find it more than a bit unpalatable when I see it, yet
I do understand it.
Perhaps if more folks made it clear that they find it
rather unattractive, the practice (of asking AND
complying) would diminish. Afterall, a lot of the
evidence is pretty clear!

Message-ID: <003801c1c8b3$0ab32ba0$0700a8c0@5j08601>
Based on the comments and description, and reading between the lines, I
believe this OO is a well-known ham (at least in this area) who happens to
be a friend of mine. Please consider this:
1. He probably does sit there, stack of forms in hand, waiting for people to
"nail".
2. He does this because people's behavior in major contests is predictable:
There are always people answering DX CQ's on frequencies that put their
modulation products out of the band.
3. His motivation (since he's not a radio cop) must be (IMHO) to get people
to change their behavior before they get nailed by the FCC. This happens to
be a public service since there probably are some subtle rule violations
that are routinely made in contests by lots of people that nobody ever
thinks about which we can all live without coming under scrutiny.
Out-of-band violations happen to be very simple and very obvious and are
very easy for people to avoid if they pay attention. I can think of several
of these subtle other violations, but I won't discuss them here.
4. It's one thing to get a letter from Riley. Out-of-band violations may
involve interference to OTHER SERVICES. Riley is the Special Counsel for
AMATEUR RADIO Enforcement. Complaints from other services go elsewhere
before they get to Riley. The entire Amateur Radio Service can live without
this.
5. I think the bottom line to Ron's comments was that the OO in question,
just to use a double letter for no particular reason, sends out notices
during SSB contests because we are predictable. In doing so, his behavior
also becomes predictable, and the notices are worth commenting on only
because of this predictability, and their somewhat eccentric nature. If I
bought a million dollars or so of this week's commemorative stamp issue, I'd
probably have to use them for the rest of my life too.
I don't think I can count past five, but here's a story: In the ARRL SSB
contest last weekend I was operating at K2RD. At one point Friday night, I
took time out from a run to S&P not only multipliers, but "ordinary" QSO's
all over 20 meters. (As a first-time WriteLog user, I was having fun
mouse-clicking on the packet spot list.) At one point I was poised to call
a station on 14348.5 (not having noticed how close to the band edge this
was). Ira happened to notice the frequency readout on the 1000D, pointed to
it and said "That's a [name withheld] frequency." It took me 3 or 4 seconds
to figure out what he meant, never having received one of these OO notices,
but certainly having heard about them, at which point I giggled and replied
"Yeah, I guess it would be", shook my head clear of the cobwebs and went
back to finding a run frequency.

The difference is that it is illegal for US stations to operate LSB on
7.150. It is NOT illegal for most European stations to operate LSB
below 7.040. It might be against the *gentlemans agreed* bandplan but
it is not illegal. Big difference.

I've been down these roads. You need to check with your Internet provider,
a router may indeed be necessary. For example, AT&T Broadband charges an
additional fee ($9.95/month) to connect more than 1 computer (up to 3
actually) to the Internet (they call it Home Networking). Using a router,
I can connect as many computers as I want without paying the additional fee
(they see the router as a single computer). You can set up a gateway
computer and a hub and do the same thing, but then it needs 2 network
cards, must always be on, some software like AOL might not work through it,
etc.

I, too, received a Popkin-Gram, a few months ago.
Dave is a retired FCC field engineer, and evidently still
has the juices flowing. While he has time to monitor...he
doesn't make stuff up. (I won't go into the time he busted
my college carrier-current radio station...long ago and
far away. I'm just glad MY first-phone wasn't on the wall.)
At the time of receiving his OO notice, I sent him an email,
asking what he was using for receiving equipment. OO's are
obligated not to get into discussion with cited stations,
apparently.
While it IS true that you're not supposed to be heard out of band...
Receiver bandwidth comes into play. This could manifest as
signal peaks being heard on 7150, indicated....when the TX
station was on 7153, and had FCC compliant emissions, in
all respects.
There's another side to it...and one we might do well to
contemplate: If we have 2.6KHz wide filters in the exciter's
transmit chain, and we overlay on that the resulting amplified
spectrum....it's questionable whether we should operate on
7153 LSB. You would have to KNOW the spectral purity of the
entire chain--something we're generally not equipped to do.
I think Dave arbitrarily assumes the best here....if he sees
you're on 7153, you're ok. If below that...he sends a love
note. Not a bad thing to be reminded of. Unlike that cop in
Pittsburgh...there's no revenue consequence.

Reading about all the packet spots, my two cents:
Marketing of contest operations used to result in "why didn't I think of
that?" It didn't start with packet. For better or worse, now consensus
seems to have shifted to accusations of "spam" and "unfair advantage."
The good news - it's easy to ignore.
George (K5TR) asks if we want contests to be defined by skeds, emails,
spots, buddy-Qs, T-shirts and/or banner ads - I think as long as multipliers
have a dominant effect on score, these other things won't define contests.
You're probably going to need the guy on 6 bands no matter how he's
publicized, and you're probably not going to boycott him just because you
object to his solicitation practices.
Did the excessive spots get more people to decide to work ZF2MM than would
have otherwise? Probably. Should it be against the rules? Probably.
IMHO the sponsor is obligated to clarify the rules.

As I said before, you might WANT to use a router for performance reasons,
but it is not NEEDED for functional reasons. That statement remains
correct.
In fact in Bob's original question where he just wants to hook up a SECOND
computer, no hub or router is needed at all. A simple crossover cable can
be used to connect the two computers. A crossover cable is an ethernet cable
that is analogous to the null modem for serial port direct connections.
It's available prewired in many lengths at your local computer toy store.
If you use a crossover cable, you therefore must use the Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS) component of Windows as described below. Aside from that
special case of a 2-computer LAN...
The term router is unfortunately being used in this thread to mean several
things. One thing it means is that IP packets that are flowing between
computers on your LAN are sent to the router (in the center of a star
configuration) and that router box sends it only to the target LAN computer.
A hub, as was mentioned by someone else, simply passes that packet around to
everyone, and the computer addressed by the packet is the only one to act on
it. Thus a router will save LAN traffic and make the LAN more efficient.
This matters when you plan heavy traffic on the LAN, such as disk backups
across computers in the face of other LAN activity and the like. If what
you're doing is normal internet traffic and sending files to be printed,
this level of performance is not needed IMO. A typical broadband speed is
on the order of 1Mbps. The slowest LAN is 10Mbps, with most being 100Mbps.
Lots of headroom.
Another use of the term router, but in my view not a proper one, is the act
of "routing" IP packets to a single ISP-provided internet connection from
multiple computers on your LAN, without having to have multiple
accounts/IDs/IP-addresses from your ISP. I prefer to call this a gateway
function, instead of a routing function.
Here you have a gateway, either hardware or software, that looks to the ISP
as the box that logged on, and that gateway box in turn manages the routing
of packets from the different computers in such a way that the ISP always
sees them as coming from one IP-address. Internally, it knows how to route
the packets, inbound and outbound, from that gateway to individual computers
on the LAN.
This gateway "routing" function can be done EITHER by a router or by
software in one of the computers. Windows 98, 98SE, XP, 2000 and probably
NT (I'm not sure of NT) all provide a component called ICS-internet
connection sharing. With ICS you can have your gateway computer, usually
the fastest, connected to your ISP, and the other computers get their
packets routed to the internet by ICS within the LAN. The connected
computers are totally transparent to whether they are talking to your ISP
via the ICS gateway, or whether you decided, for example, to bring up a
local-to-that-computer dialup connection, or even a 2nd local broadband
connection. The LAN-attached computer will preferentially use the local
connection if it exists, or the LAN-gateway connection, otherwise. This
works like a charm; I've been using it in a 4-computer LAN for a few years
now, with a mix of Win95, Win98SE and WinXP systems. I have never had a
piece of software that could tell the difference as to whether it was
directly attached to my ISP or attached via a LAN+Gateway/ICS computer.
With the software ICS gateway approach you can also use internal modems on
that gateway machine, although it appears most broadband modems today seem
to be gravitating toward external modem boxes that are ethernet attached, so
this is likely a limited advantage.
With the external modem you can therefore either ethernet attach it to your
router box, to a hub (instead of a router), or as I prefer to do, to a
separate ethernet card in the gateway computer. This has the advantage of
having no direct hardware connection between your internet connection and
your LAN, something I prefer for security reasons. Thus, your gateway has 2
ethernet cards. Your modem connects to one, and the other goes to whatever
LAN hardware you decide to use: 10base2/BNC, hub, or router. Of course the
LAN-attached computers each have one ethernet card, which connects to the
LAN (10base2/BNC, hub or router on the other end), something independent of
how you connect the modem.
Regardless of which LAN wiring solution you choose, with an always-on
broadband connection you need to invest in some security software such as
zone alarm or Norton's Internet Security. Both are frequently updated and
monitor traffic to spot typical hacker attempts. This is like having an
antivirus product to catch viruses before they infest your computer. With a
long-lived connection, it's a prime target for a..holes who like to do dirt.
Some routers, such as Linksys, advertise security inherent in the router. I
distrust relying solely on the firmware in a piece of hardware to keep
hackers out. I prefer using software that can be updated frequently (like
weekly), by a company whose business it is to provide hacker security. So,
even if I had a router, which ostensibly offered some level of security, I
would back that up with a good software security product.
Hope this helped someone. My fingers are pooped.

50 feet of CAT5 is nothing. The official specifications state a limit of
100 meters, but 10 Mbit Ethernet can go much further and 100 Mbit has even
been known to exceed 100m without trouble.
QRM to CAT5-based Ethernet is minimal because of the design of the signals
on the wire. Ethernet over twisted-pair (10BaseT, 100BaseT, ...) uses
differential encoding. The signals on each wire of the twisted pair are 180
degrees out of phase. The RX is a differential amplifier. Any QRM is
injected on both wires in phase. This is cancelled out by the differential
amplifier. Also, the wires are twisted upon each other to minimize
reception of noise in the first place. Is QRM still possible? Certainly,
but I use CAT5 and have yet to cause problems, even with the Acom amp
blowing full steam. My Peet Bros. WX station, on the other hand, always
gets scrambled and requires a reset after every contest!

Of course, this is always a concern, but this stuff tends to be pretty good
with RFI, mainly because they will GENERATE a ton of RF if improperly
shielded (decent 30m QRP XMTRs).

Encryption is available in most devices. While insufficient for the CIA and
commercial banking, it's fairly good and way more than most of us would
need.

ZoneAlarm will do nothing to protect from QRM. QRM is beyond the scope of
what this class of products does. I also use ZoneAlarm and its VY FB. If
you install a wired router, the router will likely have similar firewall
features, rendering ZoneAlarm redundant. If you use wireless networking,
ZoneAlarm will indeed provide an extra level of protection, although the
encryption will likely be enough.
Here is a worst-case scenario for wireless networking that is unlikely, but
nevertheless posssible. You do not enable encryption and your neighbor
tasps into your wireless network and essentially uses you as a free ISP.
You tell ZoneAlarm that your "local" network is safe and any IP addresses
beginning with 192.168 are local. Your neighbor grabs a 192.168 address and
can then access shared files on your PCs. ZoneAlarm CAN protect against
this, but you have to be very specific about which addresses are "trusted"
and monitor it carefully. The best option is, of course, to use encryption.
This would keep you neighbor out unless he somehow discovered your
encryption key.
CONTEST RELEVANCE:
Since this is the contest reflector, how does this relate to CONTESTING?
Multi-ops and some SO2R ops will want to use such networking. With
WriteLog, CT, and other logging software supporting Ethernet networking now,
it handily beats the old COM port serial networks. Also, this is of crucial
importance for family harmony. If the XYL and harmonics want to surf the
Internet during the big contest, it's best to understand these issues.

To reinforce prior postings with regard to
RFI and ethernet, I have a 100Mbit network
with 4 servers adjacent to the left and two
servers adjacent to the right, with ethernet
cables running behind the rig (and on the
second floor, 14 feet above ground).
I have two routers (STRONGLY RECOMMMENDED),
one for ADSL (384K out, 1.44Mbit in), and
one for IDSL (144K both ways), cross connected
for reliability of access for business.
A 150 foot run of ethernet feeds the three
home machines downstairs, one of which has
wireless 2.4GHz keyboard and mouse.
I have never had any sign of RFI into the
network with full Alpha power, and I use
telnet connnections to packet clusters that
have never dropped, and I've run heavy
printing across the LAN while transmitting
without any impact whatsoever.
And I've never heard any RFI reception that
was caused by the network or the wireless
devices.

Of course our behavior as a group is highly predictable, otherwise a variant of
this discussion wouldn't recur each year...
Every time the topic does comes up, one thing that strikes me is the degree of
arbitrariness. We don't have a technical performance-based rule (-xx dBc @ +3
kHz) for how close we can get to the band edge. We have an absolute prohibition
(no emission out of band). That's a rule with which it may lierally be
impossible for anyone to ever transmit a signal and still be in compliance
(think about transmitted phase noise).
"Good practices" may suggest 3 kHz but there's no black and white, right or
wrong, how close is too close; 14347.00 minus epsilon doesn't absolutely
guarantee that I'm on the side of the angels and 14347.00 plus epsilon isn't
necessarily going to run me afoul of the Feds (I'd agree that 14348.5 or
7150.00 are horses of a different color). If anything, adopting a de facto
standard of 3 kHz is quite generous and affords ourselves a substantial benefit
of the doubt.
Getting an advisory notice about adherence with this conventional wisdom is not
in any way inappropriate, unjustified or unfair. It may serve as an important
and useful reminder. But to anyone cognizant of the subtlety and ambiguity in
the FCC rules, receiving such a notice doesn't convey very much in the way of
new or useful information on which to act.
If this were to happen to me, I hope I'd been fully aware that calling someone
on 14346.97 was getting pretty darn close to the functional definition of the
"band edge". Under those circumstances, a valuable notice would be one that
informed me that I'd actually been heard out of band; an irrelevant notice is
one that informs me that I worked a station that was on 14347.03 sent by
somebody who was busy logging notices to check any further for a more
definitive infraction.
If an implication of these notices this is how FCC Monitoring went about
issuing their citations in the past? Well, that's very interesting but how
relevant might that be today?

Hi Larry
I got one for operating closer to the band edge than that. On
40, before I got the extra, I was chasing an EA station and got a
pink slip from the FCC for operating on 7024.75 MHZ. I was 25
cycles into the extra band. I didn't argue, just told them I was

Hi Mike,
Well, there IS a section in the FCC rules that
defines bandwidth. You'll find it in section 2 of
the FCC rules. They list an entire table of
bandwidth descriptions, the formulas, and the
emission types that fall under them.
I went a downloaded it from the FCC site and have
it at home.
You can tell the max bandwidth by looking at the
designator. SSBSC (SSB Supressed Carrier) is
noted as 2K7J3E which means 2.7 kHz bandwidth
J3E is the internationally recognized emmission
designator for SSB SC.
Suggest anyone interested find that. You will
will note specific details for bandwidth.

I thought Dennis did a great job with the NCJ and I was hoping he would continue

As in years past I've put together a TRLog .dom file for this contest. The one

state and province abbreviations to use it out-of-state.
NOTE: the official county and independent city mult abbreviations have changed
from past years; don't use old .dom files...
This QP has been growing in the past few years and is a lot of fun with a fair

If you want a copy of this .dom file just drop me some email. I can also
furnish a logcfg.dat "stub" file that you can add to and use for the VAQP.

Maybe 30 years ago was assigned for an Army Reserve summer camp to Camp
Ripley, MN. Had been active on 160 and phoned one of the big guns living
nearby and asked if I could drop by to check out the antenna system. Was
invited. Dropped by with the Chaplain and was entertained by this Hams wife
on the front porch for a while and then given a tour of the shack. The
non-Ham with me later asked why things were being moved around inside while
we waited. Power limit on 160 then was 50/100 watts.
Rumor is that that guy moved somewhere south of FL and isn't hamming
anymore. Maybe those antenna tuners exist(ed) outside of I and G.

I don't think it's unchartered at all. I think it said he was going to go work
for the ARRL.
Note that he also was replaced by K6AW as the west-coast (liason?) to
WRTC-2002.
Sounds like Dennis is looking forward to being very busy, and making the time
for it.
Good luck, Dennis, and thanks for your service to the NCJ.

to spot me.
It used to be that before the Internet got involved, from the other side one
could see how spots propagated on packet & with the exception of highly
populated areas (W6 comes to mind), one could keep up.
But now - kaboom - all of NA is calling all at once. I was only goofing around
in ARRL DX SSB, but it wouldn't take long for the pile to instantly mushroom
& my rate to dip below three-per-minute. I'd pull the cans & wander off to
the kitchen to make a cup of tea, listening to folks calling & calling &
calling,
whilst at least one switched on chap would invariably chip in with "You
scared him away!".

To heck with the tuners, I want to know more about how you were entertained
on the front porch by the xyl! Where was the Chaplain during all of this?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] ZF2MM Stuff
Message-ID: <127.d685155.29beb701@aol.com>
Fellow Contesters
There has been some of discussion about the pre-contest
publicity and packet spotting activity for my recent ZF2MM
operation. After wading through the comments and input some of
you have provided, I feel terrible about the fact that some feel
I might have crossed the line. Had I known some would feel that way, I
wouldn't have bothered doing it.
Did I publicize my operation before hand? Of course I did. I
did the same thing that I've done for the past 10 years... in
every single contest, from Sprint and NAQP to CQWW and ARRL
DX... I went through old logs and emailed people that I've
worked before encouraging them to get on and make Qs. Did I ask people to
get on and only work me, and no one else? Of course not, the thought never
entered my mind... that would be
unethical. Did I ask anyone during the contest to spot me?
Absolutely not, that's specifically against the rules. Even though
there were no rules broken, this has become an unfortunate
situation that seems to have gotten a bit out of hand, and for that, I
apologize.
The bottom line is that I didn't mean to upset anyone! I'm
sorry if you're one of the ones that got upset. That certainly
wasn't my intent at all. The intent was to increase participation in this
contest for everyone, just as I have been doing for the past 10 years in all
contests. It's worked very well for the Sprints and NAQP as all kinds of
state records have been broken in both modes of both contests by everyone!
Activity in SS has gone way up as well and the club competition has gotten
very heated, which is great for everyone! This was the first time I tried
publicizing contest via email where I was gonig to be DX. Turns out it
wasn't such a good idea... I probably won't do it again.
As much as I hate learning experiences, I guess everyone has to
go through them now and then. I hope that, in the long run, this experience
will better the sport of contesting that we all love.
After talking to a few "serious contesters," I have decided to
submit my log in the category that I operated in...single op,
high power, and will do so with a clear conscience.
Thanks for reading
Paul K9PG

Paul,
No reason to apologize! You didn't do anything that hasn't been done for
years. See VP2KC, CN8WW or almost any OH2BH operation...
The problem, if there was one, had more to do with the zeal of your home
boys to overhype you on packet. The comments in the notes field were a bit
much.
Keep running 'em.
Randy, K5ZD

Some of you are going to wonder why your scores are not posted
in this summary. Frankly, I have come to the end of my patience
when it come to dealing with HTML encoded mail and attachments.
Tonight was the last straw. The 3830 Mailserver used to stop
HTML encoded mail and I had a chance to strip it out before
sending it along. the past week, it's been coming through in
all it's glorious mess and I am just not going to deal with
it anymore. I just can't spend 5 minutes trying to decoding
the stuff or searching for attachments on my harddrive.
Hopefully, the new Stripmine application (just installed on
contesting.com lists) will handle the cleanup up in the future
but if you can't find your post here - check your mail options.
If they are set for plain text, I'll be happy to help. If you
used the Web submission page - ditto.
Sorry if I sound cranky - I am. dink, n7wa

contesting.com lists) will handle the cleanup up in the future
but if you can't find your post here - check your mail options.
If they are set for plain text, I'll be happy to help. If you
used the Web submission page - ditto.
Sorry if I sound cranky - I am. dink, n7wa

Subject: [CQ-Contest] bandwidth
Message-ID: <3C8DE04E.6B4B@erols.com>
If you want to see what the FCC says about allowable bandwidth.. look at
section 2.202. They have a table and a formula for figuring it out. IT's
not related anywhere, specifically, in part 97 to go to 2.202 to find
out.. but the rules are there.
Just fyi. if you happen to have the gear to actually MEASURE your
bandwidth.. well, enjoy! All it takes is a decent spec analyzer, a high
quality stable reciever with a VERY accurate frequency readout, and a
'scope. It's not hard, but it takes a bit of time but it is highly
accurate and helps allay your fears. Of course.. if you have different
voice pitched operators you'll have to do a curve for each one cuz the
voice pitch affects the overall bandwidth.

On an earlier posting I screwed up. The 10Base2 means of wiring a LAN (using
BNC ethernet cards) uses RG58, not RG59 coax and 50 ohm terminator BNC
plugs, not 75 ohm. My error. Thanks to N8YYS for correcting me!

Fellow Contesters
There has been some of discussion about the pre-contest
publicity and packet spotting activity for my recent ZF2MM
operation. After wading through the comments and input some of
you have provided, I feel terrible about the fact that some feel
I might have crossed the line. Had I known some would feel that way, I
wouldn't have bothered doing it.
Did I publicize my operation before hand? Of course I did. I
did the same thing that I've done for the past 10 years... in
every single contest, from Sprint and NAQP to CQWW and ARRL
DX... I went through old logs and emailed people that I've
worked before encouraging them to get on and make Qs. Did I ask people to
get on and only work me, and no one else? Of course not, the thought never
entered my mind... that would be
unethical. Did I ask anyone during the contest to spot me?
Absolutely not, that's specifically against the rules. Even though
there were no rules broken, this has become an unfortunate
situation that seems to have gotten a bit out of hand, and for that, I
apologize.
The bottom line is that I didn't mean to upset anyone! I'm
sorry if you're one of the ones that got upset. That certainly
wasn't my intent at all. The intent was to increase participation in this
contest for everyone, just as I have been doing for the past 10 years in all
contests. It's worked very well for the Sprints and NAQP as all kinds of
state records have been broken in both modes of both contests by everyone!
Activity in SS has gone way up as well and the club competition has gotten
very heated, which is great for everyone! This was the first time I tried
publicizing contest via email where I was gonig to be DX. Turns out it
wasn't such a good idea... I probably won't do it again.
As much as I hate learning experiences, I guess everyone has to
go through them now and then. I hope that, in the long run, this experience
will better the sport of contesting that we all love.
After talking to a few "serious contesters," I have decided to
submit my log in the category that I operated in...single op,
high power, and will do so with a clear conscience.
Thanks for reading
Paul K9PG

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Tracking power line noise
Message-ID: <z3rkh4h1xzvovhl.120320020949@designet-jsi>
After taking a major lightning strike last summer, there were lots of repairs
to do. Both my office and shack were affected. Rigs were blown; computers
damaged; it was a mess. While rebuilding, I didn't operate the station much
until ARRL DX this year. One of the things I noticed just prior to the contests
was a lot of low-band noise [80/160]. I did some basic testing, and determined
that noise sources appeared to be coming from outside the shack. This
determination was made after powering down every item in the shack, except the
receiver - and the noise was still there. It would also seem to increase in
strength with the 80m yagi aimed away from the house, and it was also strong on
the beverages [also aimed away from the house]. So, everything seemed to point
to an external noise source. But, there was no time to track and eliminate the
problem in the few remaining hours before the contest.
We operated the contests with the noise there, and lost a lot of points as a
result. I even got an email from another contester who wanted to let me know
just how obnoxious we were on the low-bands - calling DX stations when they
were already coming back to someone. He was right - we were in bad shape, and
it showed. The day after the SSB contest, I was so frustrated with the problem
that I went out and started to track neighborhood electrical noises with the
mobile rig. Boy, did I find a lot of things. Well, after a long search, I
located a very noisy CATV power supply. It was emitting a lot of electrical
noise and it was audibly humming away up there on the pole, too. I was 99% sure
this was the problem. With a boatload of assistance from well-connected
contacts in the CATV company, the power supply was replaced. The electrical and
audible noise in the area immediately around the power supply were both
eliminated. I rushed back to the shack to see if the problem was gone, and to
my amazement, it was still there - rock solid. Although it didn't solve my
noise problem, the CATV people said the supply really did need to be replaced,
so their efforts were not in vain. I really appreciated their help. Good thing
I left that 1% chance in my mind, though.
So, I went out driving again. I found more noise sources - two street lamps
that were arcing and failing to start properly. They were generating 40-60dB
over S9 noise. That noise was being radiated from the power lines for up to 2
miles from the source. I reported them to the power company for replacement.
But, these sources were time-of-day-dependent. During daylight hours, they were
quiet. And my noise was still there - all the time - day and night.
At this point, I was completely stumped, almost ready to talk to my wife about
putting the house up for sale. Instead, I decided to just take a couple of days
away from the problem and return to it later with a fresh approach. When I
decided to attack the problem again, I had already thought about how to
approach it:
1. Start over - make no assumptions.
2. Recognize that the source will very likely be obvious, when found.
3. Question everything.
So, I started over - looking inside first. Once again, I powered down
everything but the receiver. And, there was the noise. But, this time I wasn't
going to start looking for external noises so quickly. Was there still a
possible noise source in the shack or the house? I realized that I hadn't
really powered down everything - the receiver was running off the UPS hidden
under the desk! I moved the receiver to straight ac power - and the noise was
GONE!
The UPS was installed last summer as a protective measure against lightning and
other power failures [we have them frequently in my town]. I had just finished
telling the world how great the UPS was during the power glitch we suffered on
Sunday morning in the ARRL SSB contest, so the device was fresh on my mind.
The buzzing/hash noise generated by the UPS only appeared when a device was
plugged into it. It could be anything. And it would go away sometimes when the
device power was turned on - loading the UPS output. This had the feel of a
radiated noise from the device power cord. There were a number of potential
tests to perform, but the solutions were limited. So, I went straight to the
solutions, instead of messing around with testing. I took an old line cord and
wrapped most of it around multiple ferrites. I connected the stripped end to a
series line filter, and then fed that into a highly filtered multiple-outlet
strip with surge suppression. Plugged that into the output of the UPS and
started testing for noise. Gradually, I added all the loads back to the
filtered UPS output, and determined that these measures have completely
eliminated the noise.
Lessons learned or reinforced:
1. The problem is most likely to be blatantly obvious when found.
2. Don't assume too much along the way.
3. Definitely don't be too tough on anybody - like utilities - until you can
PROVE they are the problem.
4. It ain't over 'til its over.
5. The UPS is still a GREAT thing to have in the shack/office - no change in
my previous conclusions on this subject.
I think it's over. But, will continue testing - forever.

Paul, K9PG:
As I told you privately, when the snowstorm of grumbling began,
some folks are jealous.
It's good for the sport to publicize activity. k5zd offers some
good examples of similar actions. Did some of your clubmates get
excited? Great! Now write a post-contest piece for publication,
so you get MORE people excited and involved.
I note that the internet packet system handled the callout volumes
well enough. It's possible that some of the RF links might not
have been as robust. Perhaps there's something to be learned there.
Nice work, by the way. I wouldn't hesitate to publicize future
expeditions.

Yes those "antenna tuners" do exist in other countries. The only countries
I?ve seen 4CX10000 amplifiers in is USA (lot?s of them) Finland and
Sweden (huuuh). Now this is the big stuff but smaller stuff runing maybe
around 4 - 5 kW?s are very very very common in the world these days,
also in the USA so please stop mocking the Italians since they are no
worse then others.

I don't know what all the fuss about re-arranging the shack. In that part of
the country it was legal to run a KW . in some parts of the band and during
daylight. Some times the sun didn't set until VERY late.

There are a lot of seriously gray areas involved with the addition of packet
and Internet technology to the traditional concept of "single op".
Occasionally, enthusiastic use of these technologies strays into areas that
may overly compromise the concept of "single". There have been vigorous
discussions on similar topics - such as the use of "support teams" and host
assistance. In this case, the topic is pre- and during-contest "packet
marketing".
As far as I know we are still operating under the "all is permitted that is
not forbidden" assumption, so there would be no reason for Paul to withdraw
his log or change its entry category. There have been many situations in
the past where someone discovers a new and clever trick that pushes the
envelope into an area that provokes comment. Maybe there is a rule change,
maybe just a gentleman's agreement that the trick isn't "sporting", or just
maybe everybody starts doing it. Use of second radios is now accepted and
encouraged, but for many years it was quite unusual and often frowned upon.
Speaking for myself only - I would not hesitate to advertise my expedition,
nor to let all my club members know that I hoped to put them in the log on
all six bands. That's part of the good fellowship and enjoyment of
contesting. We don't do this in a vacumn, you know. In general, my
personal rule is that I try to compete on the basis of whether the wet stuff
between my ears works better than the other guy's wet stuff. Yet I augment
it with the best technology and location I can afford. It's often a
difficult call that we all have to make on our own best judgement.
If, for example, the contest adminstrators feel that packet spotting is
affecting the outcome in undesirable ways or is being used in a manner that
is not equally available to all competitors, then they need to write
unambiguous rules that create the appropriate constraints. In the absence
of formal constraints, then the only means of examining the issues is public
discussions in forums such as this.
Without discussion, how would the sport grow? I don't want contesting to
deteriorate into the state of some other sports where nothing new is
possible. We're very technology-driven and new gadgetry often introduces
completely new modes of operating that require some discussion as to their
appropriateness.
Personally, I appreciate K9PG's difficult post.

Of course it was legal to run "a" kW. With the "a" being singular. :-)

I have an APC UPS and have noticed nothing coming from it. I did have a
problem with a UPS sytems a number of years ago. There is a company on the
main street a few blocks from my house that has (still have) a big mainframe
with a UPS system as they need 100% up time as they process banking
transactions such as stockholder accounting and now home banking. I got
the Georgia Power Ex RFI investigator to come out and after looking
everywhere we drove into the business complex. Approaching the computer
center building the noise nearly blocked the local radio stations. The
company's building manager was hostile to anything so I got the IBM FE who
is a ham to approach them. Turns out the employees could only use FM in the
complex and even TV (both commercial and closed circuit) was affected. The
UPS firm came out and quickly found the problem.
Sometimes cleaning up a problem takes a lot of work. I nearly missed a
Mount Athos Dxpedition because of the noise which was S9+10DB with the beam
pointed NE toward both Greece and the firm.

Jim,
I'd like to add a few comments, having gone through some noise
problems myself recently.
The first thing the power company noise guru (also a ham) did was turn
my house power off at the main breakers. He fired up a little Honda
generator, and we plugged my rcvr right into to, to make sure the noise
was not coming from somewhere in the house (which it wasn't).
Next thing found was a noise emanating from a neighbor's house, about
1000 ft away. Turned out to be two, bad dimmer switches. I bought him
new switches and that fixed that. From there the search went continued
to some loose hardware and bad lightning arrestors on some poles...

What is the "official" ARRL position on including
things like /P, /M, or /MM on my Cabrillo log?
Examples received: ON6AH/M, EA4FL/P, UT1FG/MM.
I know not to include /QRP. And what about the
LU2/H? I know what H signifies, I just want to
know what to put in my submitted log.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Cable Modem Answers and Summary
Message-ID: <001101c1ca19$960cd0e0$03539718@ubr.charterne.com>
I have been overwhelmed by the number of responses that I received to my
questions and the number of different ways of networking computers and
valuable information that you shared. Thank you all SO MUCH!
I have decided to go with a wired network and will itemize what I am going
to do and why for those who might be interested.
My current system is a Motorola SB4100 Cable Modem with Charter Pipeline
service at about 750 Kbaud connected to a Dell Pentium computer running
Windows 98 Ver 2 in my office. I wanted to be able to hook up the generic
Pentium computer in my shack also using Win 98 Ver 2.
I was not sure whether wired or wireless was the best way to go.
Many of you thought that a wireless router could have issues with cell
phones that operate in the 2.4 gig range. Others thought that would not be
a problem since the routers and cellphones are broad spectrum. Some thought
encryption was adequate for security, others not. This is a gray area. One
person pointed out that it was possible for someone close by to actually use
me as an ISP if I went wireless. Regardless, I couldn't take a chance on
security. There was also the cost factor - a wireless router and 2 wireless
ethernet cards could add an additional $150 - $200 over a wired
installation, although this would be offset to some degree by not having the
cost of cat5e cables. I would not have the convenience of wireless either.
However, several of you cautioned that this is new and unproved technology,
the wireless routers are usually slower - especially if there are
interfering with/being interfered with by cell phones and could/would be
more prone to trouble.
Since I am using Win98 Ver 2 on both computers, I do not need to be
concerned with Internet Connection Sharing Software, and since I am not
using Mixed Media, that also simplifies everything. Likewise, since this is
a simple installation with Win98 Ver 2 and a router, I do not need to worry
about messing around with computer protocols, IP addresses and other stuff.
The router will take care of that. While that may not be sufficient for
more complex installations, it should be adequate for my purposes.
I decided to buy a 4-port router (rather than a hub) so that I would have
better speed and reliability and could also take advantage of the NAT/PPoE
protocols and have additional firewall protection IN ADDITION to my Zonelabs
2.6.2 firewall. The "pro's" among you all said that you should have a
firewall installed on your computer and NOT rely solely on the router since
if someone penetrated the computer, the router could not prevent
unauthorized traffic OUT. Also, as I understand it, worms could send many
e-mails out using your address book. The extra protection of a Zonelabs
firewall is a good thing (protects in AND out) and cheap insurance.
With a 4-port router, I would not need a hub for multiple connections (one
less box) and since I have a printer port (DI704P vs DI704 model) I can
connect a printer downstairs to the router as well.
After doing some research on www.practicallywired.com and reading everyone's
comments, I decided on the DLink DI-704P router which is currently $79.99 at
www.bestbuy.com BEFORE the $30 mail-in Bestbuy rebate (purchase by 3/16/02)
AND the $20 Dlink rebate (purchase by 3/16/02) for a net cost of $29.99!
Likewise, the Dlink DFE530TX+ Ethernet 32 Bit PCI Card is $14.99 at Bestbuy
before the $5.00 Dlink Mail-in rebate (purchase by 3/16/02) for a net cost
of $9.99. It is very hard to ignore prices like this! At this price, I
decided to buy an extra card for future use.
I am pricing both Shielded (STP) and Unshielded (UTP) cable. Although some
felt that shielding was not necessary, at the right price I will go with
shielded cable, just to add an extra layer of safety.
After shopping around at Bestbuy, Blackbox, CDW computer and a few others,
it became obvious that www.cdw.com has the best prices on cat5e cables and a
very wide assortment of colors and lengths. If you set up a corporate
account with them, you may even get another 20-30% off like I did.
So, my installation will be as follows:
Charter Pipeline 750kbaud - Cable Modem - Router -
Computer1
Computer2
There were many, many other ways of doing this installation depending on
wired vs. wireless, router vs. hub, etc, but in the end I wanted something
reliable, easy and fairly cheap.
I hope that this summary will be helpful to those of you who know even less
about this stuff than me! Many, many thanks to K1TTT, N2SS, N3AD, W2UP,
WM3T, W2CS, N4ZR, K9MI, K3CT, K6LL, SM0WKA, NQ4I, K6LA, VA3NA, EA5DFV, W1UK,

It's interesting to me how we seemingly think the Italians are the (1) only,
or (2) mostly guilty of running power.
And even though it's appears to be against most of the rules, we think it's
a big joke. Many of us know some who run smash, yet we appear to be in some
kind of awe that they're able to do it, and get away with it
year-after-year.
Where is this so-called "peer pressure", and "self policing" for which we so
admire ourselves?
Running super power gives those who do it a big advantage, yet we think it's
funny?
The Italians are not alone, and it seems to me that it's time for us to get
our collective act together.

I don't really understand people who feel obligated to insult OO's, or
make light of their efforts.
This seems to be a trend that has spilled over from the rest of
society that anything we do is OK.

A good many people operate out of band, especially when they
have power pushed to the limit of the radio/amp.
In particular solid state equipment needs huge headroom to have
reasonable IMD performance, yet I see rigs like FT1000MP's
cranked up to 130 watts or more. If you use a new TS2000 on 160,
IM is only in the -20dB range. Better stay far from band edges with
that rig, especially if you are loud!

The guy should be congratulated. He paid for those stamps,
devoted his time, and we should not operate with emissions that
extend out of band or spurious emissions that cause interference.
Of course the point is well taken that the OO should be absolutely
sure his receiver is not the problem. It would be a good idea if the
ARRL required the OO to detail his equipment, and how he made
the measurement.

I believe the ARRL 10 Meter test gets the most entries of any ARRL contest,
but that's almost over for this decade because of the impending decline of
the sunspot cycle. I like the IARU because it is shorter and you can go
mixed mode if you like, plus this year it is combined with the World Radio
Team Championship. The CW Sprints (4 hours each, twice a year) are frantic
but lots of fun. WAE has lots of activity and the QTC feature adds a unique
dimension. The NA QSO Parties (twice a year in each mode) are also brief
and give you a chance to call your contesting compatriots by name, which I
find good fun, especially on phone.

In ancient times, when I was an OO, ARRL held monthly Frequency
Measurement Tests, where W1AW would come on at a specific time
near a specified frequency, and stations would measure the exact
frequency and submit the measuremetns to HQ.
To become an Official Observer back then, you needed to show the
ability to measure that frequency accurately within a set of limits.
Current requirements are outlines on the ARRL web site at:
http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/org/oo.html. The frequency monitoring
tests are gone, but accurate receiving equipment is essential!
The FCC has made it clear that OOs are to be taken seriously. See
the item at: http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/1999/04/08/3/

A very interesting question. I can only make a few comments and list my own
favorites. Also, I'm not going to list any domestic only contests, since
Top 10 should in my mind be topten internationally (besides, I'm in W1 - we
can't win domestic contests - hi hi).
My favorites, in rough order (notice a CW bias :) - probably I should ignore
modes in this list?):
CQWW CW
IARU
ARRL CW
WPX CW
CQWW SSB
WPX SSB
ARRL SSB
CQWW 160 CW
ARRL 10m
Some other contests I've enjoyed playing in:
NAQSO party
CQ-M
Russian DX contest
And I'm sure I've missed something!

I didnt have time to reply to your initial inquiry, but I'm doing the same
thing you have done with very good success.
However, I bought the Dlink router that includes Wireless LAN and a
printer server port. I bought a Compact Flash Wireless card for my IPAQ
PDA and can now browse the web and email from my living room couch! hi!
It's plenty fast enough. Honestly, I dont use it very much, but it seemed
like such a cool thing I had to try it! hi!
There are security issues going wireless. Even though you can create an
encryption code that should limit access, I'm sure it's not totally
secure. I put the router in the basement and I live on a fairly large
piece of property, so my wireless LAN footprint probably doesnt extend
beyond my property line.
I did want to tell you that I have a 2.4 ghz cordless phone that is
definitely affected if you try to operate it within a few feet of a
Wireless LAN node or base. It comes across as an intermittent buzzing
noise that doesnt keep it from working, but it's definitely unpleasant.
Not sure about using a cellphone nearby, but havent noticed a problem with
that yet and my 900 mhz cordless phone is unaffected.

I agree completely with Tom.
I saw a couple of the notices last night. In both cases, the party receiving
the notice was operating at or above 14348.0. By definition, given the
bandwidth of SSB filters and the placement of the filters with respect to the
carrier, these signals were out of band.
I don't know what it is about our culture, but it seems to me that going 80
MPH in a 60 MPH zone is perfectly fine as long as you don't get caught, and
if you do, its because the cop is a jerk.
One of the strongest features of our hobby has been "self policing." This

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Contest Spots
Message-ID: <001c01c1caa0$f7ed80c0$5f20fccd@jvpcb01>
During the recent dustup over spotting, I decided to search the DX summit
database
for my call - just to see what might be on there. I am not an active
spotter - one time
I sent in a spot after working some DX, mainly just to see my call pop up on
the screen.
When I searched for NS3T, I found a second spot which was listed as if I
submitted it
during the ARRL DX SSB contest - the contact was with YP3A.
I got curious and decided to check out the spots involving YP3A from that
contest.
It is somewhat revealing.
There were forty unique calls involved with YP3A spots. All showed YP3A as
the DX.
I checked every single call in the same spot database to see if these
stations posted
spots on a regular basis - and half did so - familiar calls like W3LPL,
K1AR, W4MYA.
All seemed fine there. There was one cheerleader (N2GM) who spotted
YP3A a bunch of times - in each case on 15 meters...but that did not
interest me.
Remember, what got me into this was that my call (NS3T) was listed as
posting YP3A.
14 of the 40 spots for YP3A (35%) were by stations that had no spots during
2002, and
some of them had never posted a spot at all.
This is the list:
K4FWC 21246.5 YP3A YO1828 02 Mar 2002
K7LPK 21246.5 YP3A vy gud sig YO1844 02 Mar 2002
NS3T 21246.5 YP3A YO2010 02 Mar
2002
KJ7UO 21246.5 YP3A YO2050 02 Mar
2002
K1QK 21246.5 YP3A YO2052 02 Mar
2002
W1AMJ 21246.5 YP3A YO2100 02 Mar 2002
W4IMF 21246.5 YP3A YO2106 02 Mar 2002
W3ARS 21246.5 YP3A YO2126 02 Mar 2002
W0GHZ 21246.5 YP3A YO2130 02 Mar 2002
N1BFF 21246.5 YP3A YO2136 02 Mar
2002
K2EVY 21246.5 YP3A YO2144 02 Mar 2002
KA9ZLR 21246.5 YP3A YO2238 02 Mar 2002
KG4GNO 21246.5 YP3A YO2256 02 Mar 2002
Like I said - for all of these stations, this was their ONLY spot of the
entire
contest on the DX Summit database and for seven, the ONLY spots involving
their
calls for all of 2001 & 2002.
What's more interesting is that each spot is on the same frequency over a
several hour period. Others did spot YP3A during this time - a couple had a
slightly
different frequency posted.
What does it mean?
Does it mean that someone at YP3A was posting spots, under the guise of
someone else's call in the US? I am hesitant to accuse anyone of
wrongdoing.
Maybe some of these US stations made only one spot in the contest and
it happened to be YP3A.
All I know is, I did not spot YP3A - but someone submitted a spot under
my call....and the evidence shows I might not have been the only one.
Any thoughts from the contest community?

Dennis,
For most contesters this would be the top 8 not just 4.
{CQ WW, CQ WPX, ARRL DX, and ARRL SS are probably the "top 4"}
The IARU is pretty popular as is the WAE, AA, CQ-m(whatever it's called now)
and there are many QSO parties that are gaining popularity. It just depends
on your likes and dislikes.

You right, but perhaps they are just the most egregious example.
I mean, I remember reading an article about an Italian M/M effort writeup
in NCJ. The author went to great lengths to describe all the equipment
used. However, he failed to mention any of the Alpha amplifiers which
were clearly visible in the station photographs.
I mean, who are we fooling here?
W7OT and I used to joke about one contest write up about the Lampusesa
"300W" amplifiers. After much debate, we decided that "300W" referred to
the FILAMENT power....

Dennis that about covers it if you do both modes you have covered 8 contest.
I like some of the state QSO events. CA and FL to name 2. The problem for
some is that IARU, is in the summer and with nice WX it is not always easy
to set at the Radio when the sun is shining and its in the mid- 70's
outside and lots of yard work to keep the XYL happy with.
For those with children it is more difficult.

WB0WAO asks what are the best contests for a beginner to get his feet wet?
Any contest is practice...as far as "Domestic" Contests, I would say the
biggest are
SS
NAQP
NAS
and, of course there is the
FLORIDA QSO PARTY!
Florida works the world and you work Florida - including mobile running
helter skelter through the 67 Florida Counties...
Check out the website at:
http://www.qsl.net/fqp
It is a little over a month until the next running of the FQP, and the
Florida Contest Group is determined to activate all 67 of Florida's counties
once again...chasing the mobiles is a blast - we even have a spot on the
website giving tentative routes for the mobiles in case you are looking for
a specific county!
There is a great cover story in NCJ this issue by K8MR talking about
mobiling in contests...like the Sweepstakes there's always the desire to
"Sweep" all of Florida's 67 counties so you have that to look forward to.
We have had submissions from all over the world including some large ones
from Europe...it is a state QSO Party run by contesters so it is "snappy"!
In case anyone was wondering, FQP2K2 is on April 27 & 28...making it only
45 days until the Florida QSO Party!
Yes I am tooting our horn - but I think it is deservedly so - our State QSO
continues to grow in popularity year after year because it is contester
based...and since we as the fixed and mobile Floridians are your target QSOs
we appreciate the rates you give us - especially us Mobiles who get the rush
when we cross a county line...mobiles can feel like the rarest DXCC entity
for those first few minutes after crossing a county line...its fun!
Check out the website, the Florida Contest Group invites you to play in our
sandbox next month....more details to follow on an e-mail reflector near
you!

Am I blind, or naive?
I've been contesting for over 25 years, have operated from or at least
visited several of the best-known & most successful stations. (K4VX, K3LR,
N4ZZ, W0AIH, K4JNY (usually used with the W4PA call), W9YT in the 1970s,
among others)
The only place I have ever seen a power amplifier capable of more than 1.7kw
output is at work. (unfortunately the dual 50kw rig won't go below
66MHz and is only capable of A5 emission<G>)
Are there in fact contesters in the States running this kind of thing?
Judging from the operating ethics of a small number of operators it wouldn't
surprise me. But it's certainly nowhere near universal, or even common, at
least around here..

Only on 10 mtrs, a few certain key sounds, "five" and "nine", specifically the
"I", kicks the amp offline.
The SWR is not an issue. Overdriving is not an issue. The transceiver output is
barely 50 w.
No compression seems to help. A hand mic was substituted for the boom headset
mic but the trouble continues.
Any hints?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] The Difference Between Rules and Ethics
Message-ID: <040401c1cacd$e4c05180$49eebfa8@mirage>
I think the discussion of spotting, self-spotting, and pre-contest marketing
efforts is a very good one to have in a public forum such as CQ-Contest.
This is an excellent use of the medium. Even if there is no consensus
reached, all of us will have at least considered the question and that
raises everyone's consciousness on the subject.
No one has suggested that K9PG/ZF2MM committed an infraction during the
contest. (Read ARRL contest rule 3.1.4 for the specifics of what is
prohibited.) What we are talking about - and is certainly a legitimate
topic - is contesting ethics of the single-operator genre. The addition of
packet and Internet technology sweeps away old assumptions about what tools
were and were not available to an individual before and during a contest.
Remember the old days when all we had to worry about were the infamous
long-distance phone calls?
Boiling the pre-contest issue down, it is unethical to encourage a specific
group to perform acts on behalf of or render assistance to a specific
station using methods that would not also be available to other competitors.
The concern is not really about the simple act of spotting a club member,
per se, but the support-your-buddy thing, which, must be admitted, could
really get out of hand IF somebody really intended to push that aspect of
it. In organizing the WRTC we worried about that A LOT and it frequently
happens. In WRTC-1990 logs there were clearly "pass the microphone"
incidents. The potential for serious abuse is why I think this issue got
the attention of "senior contesters". K9PG's own log stats show that he
didn't really get much from the marketing effort. However, I'm sure that
with the clever and inventive souls inhabiting the ranks of radiosport
contesters, the techniques could be refined to confer a much greater
advantage if there is not some kind of peer pressure today that it might be
a Bad Thing.
There are many other activities that tread into the grey area. Along with
exhortations to spot early and often (sorry, couldn't resist the Chicago
cliche...) what of special awards, certificates, promises of fancy QSLs, and
other things that increase the desirability of QSOs with one station and not
another in ways that have nothing to do with the competition? Some are
probably OK and others not so OK.
We have to ask ourselves if that great new idea enables us to perform more
effectively or does it deny another competitor a legitimate opportunity to
do so? These are hard questions.

ARRL 10m Contest
ARRL DX CW
CQP
IARU
Of course, I operate a lot more than 10 per year... :)
The Russian DX Contest is one of my favorites, but it never falls on the

The technical wizards out there will probably hammer me, but
it sounds as though a number of things could be going on. You
did not mention what rig you are using, and what you mean by
50 watts. BTW, my 91B usually runs with about 35w input
on CW.
It is possible that your exciter's internal ALC is not functioning,
allowing certain syllables to ramp and exceed the desired input
level. This can be a particular problem with some rigs when the
output is lowered to drive an amp, as with lower drive in the
exciter, alc may never be operating.
It also sounds like the loading on the amp might be a little light.
Try loading a little heavier and see if that calms things down a bit.
It's usually detection of grid current peaks that trip the overloads.
There is also the possibility that something in your antenna system
is breaking down on RF peaks.
This is the order in which I woukd attack the problem. If it is the
first one (depending on your rig type) you might have to run it at
rated power and swamp the input to the 91B.
Good Luck and 73

This has been seen before for other operations, some of them have been
traced back and summaries of results sent to contest organizers.
If the spots in question were entered from dxsummit (spotter call ends
with -@) the operators of dxsummit should be able to look up and compare
ip addresses of the originators to see if they were all the same. If
they came from a spotting node the sources could be traced and the sysop
asked to help if his node has logging capability like ar-cluster and
dxspider nodes do to get the ip addresses.

And to that I would add that creative marketing is part of what is makes up
the wet stuff. I agree with Ward - as long as it is not expressly forbidden
in the rules, there is nothing to make it illegal.

Now if you really want to have fun with statistics and spots, analyze
this...
My database for this analysis goes back to 12/1/2001 and contains 256547
total spots. In arrl dx ssb my database has 24609 spots. Of those, 486
were made by spotters who only made one spot and that spot was during
the contest. Those 'unique' spotters spotted 313 different stations.
The recipients of more than 5 of these 'unique' spots were:
Dx count
PY2NDX 16
S53M 11
UA9YAB 10
PW0T 10
YP3A 9
JT1CO 9
5B4/R3CC 9
M0SDX 9
YL2LY 8
H7DX 7
SN8V 7
ZF2MM 7
This is not of course to cast any stones at those who show on the list.
I only offer it to show that maybe the spots of yp3a were coincidence...
but as was shown, at least one of those spots wasn't made by the person
who's call showed on it. The only way to tell for sure would be to take
the lists of spotters and find out if they made the spots or not.... if
anyone is really interested in tracing further contact me directly.
Btw, there are some interesting patterns. Including some that show a
high incidence of stateside spotters who's calls aren't in my latest
buckmaster database.

I noted on 40m during the ARRL DX SSB, where most contacts are split,
having to call on SSB down as low as 7025 made me feel a bit uncomfortable,
albeit still legal for us. It's kind of sad though, the only qrm down there
were illegal pirates. Generally its poor practice to use SSB below 7035 in
our region, but at least we don't encounter the OO style Stasi effect.
(off-subject, I'd recommend the book 'Stasiland' to see how bad it has been
in history).

Since K4OJ is doing such a good job of marketing the FQP, I hope that each time
you see a message from Jim (and others) encouraging activity in the FQP that
you also think about the New England QSO Party the following weekend.
Actually, since both Florida and the New England states have 67 counties, we
think of the FQP as a good warm up for the NEQP... The web site below has

Ward,
You've given me some pause, since last year, I jokingly offered a "prize"
for anyone worked me on all 5 HF bands (I don't have 160 capability here)
during the CQ WPX. (And only one station, XA5T, got it... based on the
reaction from the QSL manager, I've been convinced that it wasn't worth
doing again). Although done in jest, it certainly wasn't my intention to
run afoul of the spirit, let alone letter, of the rules.
Yes, it's a grey area, and had I been more cognizant of that last year, I
probably wouldn't have made that offer.
But I wonder... is saying "if you happen to work us on all bands, we'll give
you a certificate" something that needs to be prohibited? I know that one
M/M V2 team did that last year in at least one contest, for example, but
considering the number of transmitters QRV during that M/M effort, I'd have
real doubts that it gathered them THAT many extra QSO's.
So offhand, I'd say that if a station offers something of little or no real
value, like a "worked on 6 bands" certificate, it should not be an ethical
violation. Let's not squeeze all the fun out of things. Something more
substansive, though, should be be prohibited -- in short, anything that
gives the appearance of "buying" contacts.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] The Difference Between Rules and Ethics
I think the discussion of spotting, self-spotting, and pre-contest marketing
efforts is a very good one to have in a public forum such as CQ-Contest.
This is an excellent use of the medium. Even if there is no consensus
reached, all of us will have at least considered the question and that
raises everyone's consciousness on the subject.
No one has suggested that K9PG/ZF2MM committed an infraction during the
contest. (Read ARRL contest rule 3.1.4 for the specifics of what is
prohibited.) What we are talking about - and is certainly a legitimate
topic - is contesting ethics of the single-operator genre. The addition of
packet and Internet technology sweeps away old assumptions about what tools
were and were not available to an individual before and during a contest.
Remember the old days when all we had to worry about were the infamous
long-distance phone calls?
Boiling the pre-contest issue down, it is unethical to encourage a specific
group to perform acts on behalf of or render assistance to a specific
station using methods that would not also be available to other competitors.
The concern is not really about the simple act of spotting a club member,
per se, but the support-your-buddy thing, which, must be admitted, could
really get out of hand IF somebody really intended to push that aspect of
it. In organizing the WRTC we worried about that A LOT and it frequently
happens. In WRTC-1990 logs there were clearly "pass the microphone"
incidents. The potential for serious abuse is why I think this issue got
the attention of "senior contesters". K9PG's own log stats show that he
didn't really get much from the marketing effort. However, I'm sure that
with the clever and inventive souls inhabiting the ranks of radiosport
contesters, the techniques could be refined to confer a much greater
advantage if there is not some kind of peer pressure today that it might be
a Bad Thing.
There are many other activities that tread into the grey area. Along with
exhortations to spot early and often (sorry, couldn't resist the Chicago
cliche...) what of special awards, certificates, promises of fancy QSLs, and
other things that increase the desirability of QSOs with one station and not
another in ways that have nothing to do with the competition? Some are
probably OK and others not so OK.
We have to ask ourselves if that great new idea enables us to perform more
effectively or does it deny another competitor a legitimate opportunity to
do so? These are hard questions.
73, Ward N0AX

Top 10 contests here (and I'm considering each mode separately):
1. (tie) CQ WPX SSB
CQ WPX CW
(with my call, this is a surprise?)
3. ARRL DX SSB
4. CQ WW SSB
5. ARRL DX CW
6. CQ WW CW
7. Pennsylvania QSO Party -- sorry Florida QP, you got a long, long ways to
go yet to catch this grand old lady!
8. ARRL 10 Meter
9. California QSO Party
10. IARU HF Championship
Honorable mention: ARRL 160 & CQ 160 Contests, I would if I had an antenna
for the band; Breezeshooters Groundwave & Wireless Association of South
Hill's 2M FM Simplex contests -- two locals for WPA but both a heck of a lot
of fun and extremely popular here!

I believe the ARRL 10 Meter test gets the most entries of any ARRL contest,
but that's almost over for this decade because of the impending decline of
the sunspot cycle. I like the IARU because it is shorter and you can go
mixed mode if you like, plus this year it is combined with the World Radio
Team Championship. The CW Sprints (4 hours each, twice a year) are frantic
but lots of fun. WAE has lots of activity and the QTC feature adds a unique
dimension. The NA QSO Parties (twice a year in each mode) are also brief
and give you a chance to call your contesting compatriots by name, which I
find good fun, especially on phone.

It might not be correct to describe Italians as the most egregious example
of
running excessive power. Italians are frequently loud, and amplifiers
similar
to those used by the average DXer are probably important to this fact. But
if there were no 300W power limit in Italy then we would not be pointing an
accusing finger at Italy. A few other countries have similar power limits,
or
have had similar power limits in the past, which have been ignored to some
degree. I have frequently seen Heathkit SB200's, Collins 30L1's, etc., in
photos of stations in England, Canada, and Australia for instance. Japan
has "20W" limits that frequently are 200 to 2000W in practice. Italians do
not stand out in my memory as obvious cases of excessive power.

What a great weekend from the "little station that could", you know, the
station that "no one" thought about or considered in the scheme of things.
It just shows you, under the right set of circumstances, anyone or any station
can do superb things. It doesn't necessarily require tall towers, stacked
monobanders, multiple radios, and maximum brute-force power.
What it does require is hard, intelligent, and old-fashioned work thrown in
with the luxuries of packet spots and the like. I learned how to operate
without this "crutch" and have tried to instill those values to Mike and
whomever else that operates at K5NZ. We tuned the bands endlessly the entire
weekend, and I think the multiplier total we amassed from W5 proves that this
old fashioned hard work method of operating pays off.
We moved everything possible, we operated without regard for being tired, and
we encouraged each other throughout the weekend to keep pushing.
Above all, I'm extremely happy and proud to hand over the 5th District record
to Mike. Here's a guy who has done all the work himself, maintains the station
himself, and unselfishly offers the station to others to enjoy their hobby.
Mike, thanks for letting me be a part of this operation. This contest will live
in my memory forever, and there aren't that many that fall into this category.
I can think of only 2, now there are 3.
Thanks to everyone for all the Qs and the great time.

NS3T noted that he "spotted" YP3A.
I've noticed that I from time to time make similar "spots".
I suspect these are Internet-originated & in the quest to have a quiet word
with the other "me", have attempted to contact those who run the OH9W

I think I noticed K9PG "spotting" himself from ZF2MM in K5TR's recent

Howdy all,
I've spent a lot of time reading the posts and absorbing all of the
information flowing (Nothing like getting 129 new Emails in a day!).
Incidently, I had dinner with Paul, K9PG the other night. We had a
long discussion about the string of posts on the reflector. Here's my
take on the subject:
In my mind, Paul is really smart. He figured that great contest scores
don't come from working all the big stations, but from all of the
additional smaller stations, or occassional contestors.
So, several years ago, Paul started going through his logs and sending
Emails to folks who worked him in the past and reminded them that "XYZ"
contest is coming up, and you've operated the contest in the past, so
please get on and make some QSOs this weekend...
This is something he's done for a while. Sometimes (in the case of
Sprints) it is very effective in generating more contest interest and
activity. Sometimes (as it was for ARRLDXSSB) it did not help much.
He only worked 44 stations of the 139 Emails he sent out.
Some DX stations love getting Paul's EMails. It's like a calendar
reminder of an upcoming contest. Some would have operated anyway, but
occassionaly he gets extra DX stations to get on and operate. This
benefits everyone.
Never has he asked them to "only work Me". His goal is to increase
activity for the contest in general.
Same goes for the SMC. I am amazed at how the SMC has evolved over the
last few years. 500 members, Wow! I truly believe much of their
success is due to Paul's bubbly enthusiasm for Contesting in general,
and it seems to rub off on other SMC'ers. These guys (+gals) actively
recruit new members, provide mentoring and support to new contesters,
and encourage competition and comeraderie. It sure looks like they
have fun doing it too. What a wonderful combination!
Personally, I think the only thing Paul is guilty of is a Passion for
Contesting.
I just wish he'd move to Texas. :-)
73's,
Scott - KI5DR

Very interesting, Jamie.
According to a QRZ search this morning, the first two spots:
> K4FWC 21246.5 YP3A YO1828 02 Mar 2002
> K7LPK 21246.5 YP3A vy gud sig YO1844 02 Mar 2002
are bogus calls, not even issued!
So, I would say you have something here.

Ron,
As one of the members of the "M/M V2 team" you refer to, which obviously is
V26B, I can say that it probably did make a very slight difference in our
score. My guess is that it's very small as this sort of thing appeals to a
small percentage of the ham population and we only get a handful of requests
for them. Your doubts are correct. We have done this for several years and
the same few people seem to go for the certificates year after year.
However, we did not ask anyone to solicit other QSOs for us or to spot us on
packet, or to do anything aside from themselves to look for us in the
contest. Also, we do not advertise this certificate on the air. This is
usually communicated via DX bulletins etc. well in advance. I would say
that it's something we don't think much about - especially during the
contest!
We have a few stations who do let us know during the contest that they are
working towards getting the 5-band, or 6-band certificates. Comments like,
"This makes 5 bands, where are you on 20?" happen frequently, but as I'm
sure anyone would imagine, it's really a small percentage of the time. It's
nice to hear that from others as they call in. They're having fun, and so
are we.
Now, if we were to attempt to plan some sort of scheme whereby we rewarded
those who spotted us the most, or something to that effect, we'd be guilty
of expanding the number of operators performing functions that gain our
operation qsos. This would in effect place operators for our operation well
outside the 500m circle (or whatever it is these days) and thereby we should
be disqualified.
The bottom line is that it's against the rules to ask people to spot you -
even before the contest. Letting others know you will be on the air is just
that - information.

N5NJ / V26O

Having never posted a spot in my life I wonder how and by whom these got
posted to DX Summit ????
Oh and who is UOL5Y !
Aside - I suspect that having you station spotted may have as much or more
value in some contest than using spots. The notion of an assisted category
is a bogus notion unless it includes "being spotted" as well as "using
spots".

Leigh,
SB200s and equivalents are considered fairly small amplifiers in the UK
today. A pair of 3-500Zs are fairly standard, but more people are
moving over to 3CX800s/4CX800s.
I can think of a few good reasons for having an amplifier that will
produce more than the legal limit. Here in the UK our limit is 400W but
my amplifier (made by Linear Amp UK.... no connection etc etc, but can
be recommended....) is capable of much more than 400W. Why would I want
that you may ask.....
RTTY contesting which has got to be the most severe test of an amp!!
Even a TL922 gets quite warm running an RTTY contest at 400W (the power
supply gets warm). My amp runs really cool at the 400W level on RTTY so
there is much less chance of failure during a 48hr event. The last
thing I want 40 hours into the contest is amplifier failure!!!!!
Hopefully running the amp well within its limits will prevent failure.
If an amp can last through 48hrs of RTTY contesting, it should walk an
SSB or CW contest!
To get 400W out of my amp requires approximately 20W drive which in turn
means that the spurious outputs and other rubbish from the FT1000mp are
greatly reduced. So, with the radio running well within its limits and
the amplifier well within its limits, hopefully the spectral purity of
my signal will be that much cleaner. The recent discussion on OO
reports and out-of-band emissions when operating close to the band edge
should be a wake-up call here.....
Plus, if the UK ever raises its power limit, it's only a matter of
turning the drive up a little bit more to achieve the new level instead
of having to change the amplifier to remain competitive....

Say you are AA1AA and you want to spot DX0DX under identity of BB1BB:
You go like this.
dx/bb1bb 14000.00 dx0dx Contest
And the spot will appear as if it was posted by BB1BB. This works on
CLX based Cluster nodes. Dont know about others.

Message-ID: <GSYY5V$IDKrf_sFTmyDG_PG5FoJT_Z25Wi7noEq79aLDQ@iol.it>
Ten years ago, in an high band SB effort during an ARRL DX, there was
no problem to nearly double the first day QSOs number during the second
one, generally there was not enough time along 48 hours to log everyone
that was active, even running 6 or 8 per minutes for hours and hours.
In recent years this was not any more possible, and the second day
brought an average of half QSOs than the first day.
During the last ARRL DX ssb, in an SB 15m I hardly reached one third of
the first day with QSO number, in sunday.
In other words, the second day was mainly a ?dupe contact day? with
horrible rates and always the good same signals calling me back.
So much poor that for a while I thought to give up with such a pain.
Although the first day had excellent conditions with propagation, the
second one was not bad at all, good enough that ten years ago with the
same propagation and equipment I could have logged double than it
happened this year, I?m absolutely sure about this.
My question is: with nowadays bad trends, so much time compared with so
little correspondants, is it still a matter of best operators, I mean
fast and accurate, or we are along the way to favour average ones with
best setups, locations or peculiar conditions ?
Wouldn't be one day a more appropriate period lenght to have fun, rates
and beneficial to pull out the best ops ?

Bob,
If I left you with the impression that I objected to the certificate
practice (and I'm one of those who was quite glad to earn one), my
apologies. I may not have phrased that as well as I could have.
Something like the V26B certificates are fun, and should be, and I don't
have a problem with them. But as I tried to say, they don't neccesarily add
much if anything to your score; for example, I had a bunch of people that I
got on 4 bands during the ARRL DX, and I actively looked for most to make it
5 purely for my own sake (the exceptions being those EU stations I needed on
80 -- come Sunday afternoon, knowning I wasn't going to be on the last hour
or so, there's no way). And it was a lot of fun getting that 5th QSO
(except for one case where one stinker just had to spoil my fun, berating
me -- on air -- for not having 160, so I couldn't claim a "true" sweep, just
a modified one. Well, there's always someone...)
In any case, from what I've read and heard directly from K9PG, it may be
fair to say that some of the people who were spotting ZF2MM got a little
carried away. So if this is the case, a word to those responsible might be
sufficient, and I believe he's taking care of it. 'nuff said.

Ron,
As one of the members of the "M/M V2 team" you refer to, which obviously is
V26B, I can say that it probably did make a very slight difference in our
score. My guess is that it's very small as this sort of thing appeals to a
small percentage of the ham population and we only get a handful of requests
for them. Your doubts are correct. We have done this for several years and
the same few people seem to go for the certificates year after year.
However, we did not ask anyone to solicit other QSOs for us or to spot us on
packet, or to do anything aside from themselves to look for us in the
contest. Also, we do not advertise this certificate on the air. This is
usually communicated via DX bulletins etc. well in advance. I would say
that it's something we don't think much about - especially during the
contest!
We have a few stations who do let us know during the contest that they are
working towards getting the 5-band, or 6-band certificates. Comments like,
"This makes 5 bands, where are you on 20?" happen frequently, but as I'm
sure anyone would imagine, it's really a small percentage of the time. It's
nice to hear that from others as they call in. They're having fun, and so
are we.
Now, if we were to attempt to plan some sort of scheme whereby we rewarded
those who spotted us the most, or something to that effect, we'd be guilty
of expanding the number of operators performing functions that gain our
operation qsos. This would in effect place operators for our operation well
outside the 500m circle (or whatever it is these days) and thereby we should
be disqualified.
The bottom line is that it's against the rules to ask people to spot you -
even before the contest. Letting others know you will be on the air is just
that - information.

When I came back from Gitmo and Navassa in 1972,
I was invited to speak at the Southern California
DX Club in Los Angeles that fall.
The current CQ Magazine had just published an
Editorial by Jim Hathaway, lambasting high power
usage by hams, and stating he personally knew of
hams running in excess of 15,000 watts.
At that SCDXC meeting, during the new business,
a ham stood up and asked that the club should
censure Jim, for lying about W6's amplifiers,
because "Jim knows perfectly well hat I can't
get more than 13,800 watts out" and sat down.

Of course! I'm not suggesting that we all have to become monastic hermits
and conceal our identities with voice scramblers to submit single-op scores.
Is the certificate or QSL available to all callers? Has the solicitation
been widely advertised? In the case of encouraging activity, anything that
encourages others to be active and participate fairly and equally is a great
idea. K1XM and KQ1F are well-known for their beautiful photo QSLs and many
operators make a point to contact them for "this year's" models. But they
certainly don't say, "work only us", and the resulting activity benefits all
competitors - good for them!
The shoe can sometimes be on the other foot. Conversely (pun intended), a
single-op with a bad reputation for QSLing can also create disincentives to
make QSOs, for example.
Here is a personal example of my own... I was at one time considering
sponsoring a NW regional "SS Sprint" that would be a three-hour competition
for WA, OR, ID, BC, etc. stations on 40 and 80 between 9 PM and midnight.
The idea was to increase activity on the low bands by stations that
otherwise would not be active and counteract some of the advantage on those
bands enjoyed by the 1-2-3-4-5 districts. After some consideration, it just
seemed too much like stocking the pond with local ops unlikely to work much
outside the region and I let the idea drop. Now maybe the idea of the
three-hour nighttime category for all entrants would be a good idea.
Anyway, you get the idea - it would facilitate the making of QSOs that were
likely to be unavailable to others.
We will not all make the same determination of appropriateness in all cases.
However, the awareness that there IS an issue to be considered will improve
the sport and quality of competition.

So what constitutes "substantive"? Is a bottle of Maderia wine for working
s a station on multiple bands "substantive/" How about the CA QSO Party
where the top out-of-state scores receive a bottle of CA wine. Do you
disqualify the entire contest for that? I must confess I did not declare it
on my tax return. How about a tee-shirt for working 100 Italians (running
only 300 watts of course) in the WAIP Contest? Maybe we should do away with
door prizes at Dayton. And, maybe forget the free hats at Yaesu. Say, what
about the freebie Kenwood log books? Once you go down this road, it ay a
hard one to navigate without running into some potholes.

Actually, running a 1.5 KW amplifier at 400 W will generate lots of
heat, unless the amplifier can be loaded very lightly, a tricky thing
on SSB, and probably impossible on 80 and 160. If you load a 1.5 KW
amplifier normally, then reduce the drive to 400 W output, the tubes
dissipate about as much power as at full output, though the power
supply does not. Running a TL922 in the low voltage position helps,
but it still won't be efficient at normal loading. To efficiently
run a 1.5 KW amplifier at 400 W with the normal loading capacitance
and drive power, the plate voltage would have to be reduced to about
half the normal value.

Another interesting tidbit in the ZF2MM (vs. 8P5A) packet saga. If one
were thinking maliciously, one could also provide misinformation via
packet to make life difficult for a contest DXpedition.
For example, I happened to be tuning across 8P5A when a packet spot
for AP5A hit the screen. All of a sudden, poor Tom was inundated with
dupes ruining a perfectly good run. I'm sure the busted spot was not
malicious in this case, but it could have been...

Subject: [CQ-Contest] More Contest Spots
Message-ID: <005b01c1cba5$29c80020$5f20fccd@jvpcb01>
My first note raised questions about why my call (NS3T)
had been found as "spotting" YP3A during a recent contest.
It prompted a number of responses and led to some further
investigation, albeit on a very limited basis.
K1TTT ran the database of the spots from DX summit for
the two ARRL DX contests, focusing on spots that came
from "unique" calls - meaning that station only spotted one
DX station during the entire contest.
I quickly reviewed spot data for only three stations, simply
because they had come out on top of K1TTT's review:
PY2NDX, S53M and UA9YAB.
PY2NDX had over 40 spots during the ARRL SSB contest.
Three of the calls are not active.
W8GKL 21306.0 PY2NDX PY0035 02 Mar 2002
WB0YUI 21306.0 PY2NDX PY0051 02 Mar 2002
WB2GHJ 21408.6 PY2NDX PY2233 02 Mar 2002
What is interesting is that W8GKL and WB0YUI were the
first two spots for PY2NDX for the contest, both in the first hour.
and both from calls that are not active.
S53M is a different animal. I did not find any bad US calls,
but there were a number of spots from foreign DX during
the contest, including several with S5 calls. There were also
an inordinate number of spots by W3LPL.
UA9YAB raises many more questions. In the ARRL CW
contest, there were not that many spots:
N7UJZ 28092.9 UA9YAB arrl UA90144 16 Feb 2002
W6AGH 28093.9 UA9YAB UA90234 16 Feb 2002
WB0WQS 28093.0 UA9YAB UA90240 16 Feb 2002
N7HIY 28015.4 UA9YAB test UA90318 16 Feb 2002

VA3DX 28081.1 UA9YAB UA91158 16 Feb 2002
WN9O 28062.5 UA9YAB UA91306 16 Feb 2002
N7HIY 28073.0 UA9YAB test UA90237 17 Feb 2002
W0ETC 28073.1 UA9YAB UA90239 17 Feb 2002
N8NR 28073.0 UA9YAB Zone 18 UA90300 17 Feb 2002
KK1S 28047.0 UA9YAB cq z18 UA91118 17 Feb 2002
K1NU 28152.4 UA9YAB UA91351 17 Feb 2002
Four of the calls had only one spot during the contest: the first two,
N7UJZ, W6AGH along with W7WAS and KK1S. All are active.
In the ARRL DX, UA9YAB had 13 unique spots.
N7UJX 28444.0 UA9YAB UA90123 02 Mar 2002
KC7WL 28505.0 UA9YAB UA90149 02 Mar 2002

K5TXZ 28434.0 UA9YAB UA91336 03 Mar 2002
If you notice, the first two spots of both contests were uniques - and the
first call was almost identical, N7UJZ (CW) - N7UJX (SSB).
BUT..what raises more questions is that the following calls did not show
up when I checked the FCC database:
W7YCB, W6TGM, W0WSX, K1WSC, K7YUH, W1MUZ, W1TOS,
K5TCX, K5TXZ. None of those are listed as active.
Add to all that the following two spots by UA9YAB:
UA9YAB-@ 28555.8 UA9YAB cq for sked with vo2wl 1524 02 Mar 2002
UA9YAB 3788.0 UA9YAB cq arrl QSX3812.0 UA91207 03 Mar 2002
I invite more hams to check to see if their calls have "spotted" stations
during contests. VR2BG pointed out that somehow ZF2MM had
spots made by his own call K9PG. I checked, and there were
four of those. He didn't do that - but someone else did.
All of this information was gathered from the DX Summit database
search.

Might I point out that my intention while writing was not to find fault with
the operators
in the UK, Canada, etc. My personal views on the use of amplifiers in the
countries
that do not allow 1500W PEP output as the USA does could probably be
interpreted
as being considerably more liberal than the views of the governments within
those
countries. I'd frankly like to see a level playing field in contests on an
international
basis encouraged both within the rules and regulations of governments and
contest
sponsors. For instance, I often wonder about the senselessness of rules
that dictate
that a contact between a station in Rome and in the Vatican is one point in
the
CQWW, while a contact between two distant points in the United States, or
two
similarly distant points within Russia, China, Australia, etc., count as
zero points,
even when they are not in the same CQ zone. No, I don't find fault with the
CQWW
organizers for staying with a winning formula.
I simply have a more cosmopolitan viewpoint regarding amateur radio contacts
and their relative merits than the viewpoints that are held by DXer's in
general who
hold great pride in their country totals that, after all, are based
primarily on boundaries
that are merely political. I sense that political boundaries may be less
important in
the distant future, and differing power limits across borders must surely
pass in the
future as well. I'd also like to see the privileges of licensed amateur
operator's
defended as if they were rights to some degree. Being victimized by local
city
government's rules and regulations that violate the spirit of PRB-1 (yes, I
realize that
this is only the rule of law in the US) has made me quite strongly aware
that
governments abuse authority and violate the rights and privileges of amateur
radio
operators to a much greater degree than the population in general.
In defense against abuse of amateur radio privileges by governments, I'd
also
like to suggest that anyone who reads this and has the ability to should
familiarize
themselves with the proceedings between the FCC and two former amateur radio
operators -- Herbert Schoenbohm and Kevin Mitnick. Yes, I realize that this
does
not seem on first glimpse to be an international issue. However, I believe
that it
truly is... In the case of Herbert Schoenbohm there may be something that
each
of us can do to advance our own personal views on the subject. Neither of
these
two are personal friends of mine, but I believe they are on the front lines
fighting
the battle against governmental abuse of power against amateur radio
operators
and very much defending my own personal rights. And, there may be something
that many outside of the US as well as inside can do in their support.

CQ VK contesters,
I'm going to be in Australia from 27th March until 18th April touring
around the country. Are there any contesters out there that would like
to down a few VBs and exchange a few 'war' stories? I'll be starting in
Sydney but after that is still in the planning stages.....
I don't suppose there are any multi-op efforts around the Sydney area
for the CQ WPX SSB contest that needs an extra operator?

Message-ID: <000f01c1cbc0$4d936830$0200a8c0@k1ttt1>
While we were talking about spotters who only made one spot in the whole
contest there was a mention of stations who spotted the same station
many times. Well for the ARRL DX SSB test I went through the database
and came up with these numbers:
Spotter Dx times spotted
HA5IW HA5KDQ 42
W3LPL VP5A 19
W3LPL 9A1A 19
KF2ZG ON7DR 18
N9US ZF2MM 17
W3LPL 9A7A 15
K6PFF UA9UHD 13
EA2TJ EA2URE 13
RK3QWA 5B4/R3CC 13
G0MOK NY6DX 12
HB9CQL HB9DSO 12
PA9JP PI4ZOD 12
UA9KGH RK9KWB 12
AE9B RX3RC 11
W3LPL RU1A 11
W3LPL OH5LF 11
WC4I VP5B 11
K4JA-4 9A7A 10
RM6A KC1XX 10
W3LPL ZF2MM 10
W3LPL LY7Z 10
W3LPL EA8ZS 10
W3LPL OM7M 10
W3LPL DL6RAI 10
W3LPL OH4A 10
What do these tell us??
First, W3LPL makes a lot of spots!
Second, stations that cq a lot get spotted a lot.
Third, stations that spot one other station a lot more than anyone else
stick out like a sore thumb.
To make the first line more interesting, consider the following:
HA5IW also spotted 2 other stations, once each
HA5KDQ was spotted by 5 other station, once each
For all of you who are now ready to lynch ha5iw, and are wondering who
in the world ha5kdq is... note that all those spots were on vhf or uhf
bands, apparently in some European vhf/uhf contest. (same for the
groups of spots for ea2ure, hb9dso, and pi4zod)
Which brings up the fourth point... you can prove anything with
statistics taken out of context.

"or have had similar power limits in the past"
There was a time that the power limits in Canada were significantly
lower
than the US limits. Note that I am not pointing an acusing finger at
Canadians
regarding this, but defending the Italians as being in line with the
worldwide
trends. I didn't see the lower Canadian power limits in the past as
reasonable,
nor do I view lower power limits in other countries as reasonable.
I'd
prefer to see consistent power limits worldwide, just as I'd prefer to
see
an end to human rights abuses by governments worldwide, and I'm
willing
to be outspoken about it.

Hmmm, well I was way bored at work :-) so I decided to do the same. This is
what I found:
DX-SUMMIT Spot Database:
WB0WAO-@ 28388.1 UA3AGW ARRL vy loud 1359 03 Mar 2002
WB0WAO 14239.0 YO4RUI YO0400 11 Mar 2002
To say the least, I was quite suprised! The YO spot I DID make a few days
ago at the stations request, but the UA3 spot I did not make!!!!! I did
work that station at 1357 on 10m on the 3rd during the contest, but I could
not have made the spot - the 'puter in the shack is not online! It runs WFW
3.11 and is not internet "capable". The ONLY way I can get online from home
is with my WebTV (forgive me!) that is in the living room. To check DX
Summit or to make a post, I have to get up and go to the living room, turn
on the WebTV, log on, etc. I have for obvious reasons, not made many spots
at all! Sometimes I do go check DX Summit, make a few notes and then get on
the air, but never during the 'tests. So, the bottom line is that someone
"bootlegged" my call on the cluster as well!

Not a chance of that happening. Just think, the original purpose of dx
clusters was for contest spotting! I had to work hard to convince the
first few sysops to keep them on the air between contests so the
frequencies(they were all rf connected at that time of course) were kept
occupied and users could learn how to use them before contests... after
that features like qsl databases, mail, and other nice dx'ing features
were adopted by the weekday non-contest users.

While being a contester myself and usually using the cluster during contest
and entering the appropriate category, I still will maintain that the sun
does not revolve around contesters. There are other amateurs besides
contesters who use the DX clusters.

Yuri:
Who are you going to get to operate the Cluster nodes if they have to be
shut down during contests? It takes a lot of time, money, effort,
dedication, and, often, a big tower, to operate a cluster node. Many of
these are at stations which enter contests in multi-operator or
single-operator-assisted categories. Why? Because they built the nodes to
help them get spots sooner, and to enhance the capacity of the network by
adding nodes which accomodate more users without overloading the existing
nodes.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: The DX Cluster network
primarily exists to provide spots during contests. I'm not talking about
what most users use it for. I'm talking about what the node builders built
the nodes for. If the message from the contest community is that the
cluster system is not wanted during contests, then in a few years there
won't be a system at all, except over the internet.
I think that by having different categories that everyone can choose among
depending on their taste, we have approximated a level playing field as to
spotting assistance. Yes, that doesn't eliminate "packet pilups" on
non-assisted DX stations, but I can think of a lot of things that are
different from 20-30 years ago, and most of them are for the better. Packet
may be inconvenient for those who choose not to use it, but I can't think of
a better way to reduce overall activity than by eliminating it altogether.
(Unless we really want to discourage all the casual DX'ers who make a couple
hundred QSO's in each contest just by finding new band-countries on packet.)

I don't think this is a viable solution especially given the fact that some
clusters are private. The only thing that makes sense is to "eliminate" the
assisted class. After all, as many other have pointed out, when we moved
from hand keys and bugs to keyers -especially those with a memory - we did
not create an assisted class. And when we moved from separate rx/tx to
transceivers and no longer had to zero beat we did not create an assisted
class. For reasons that are beyond my comprehension ( and maybe someone can
fill in some history) cluster spots are perceived as assisted and not simply
a technology change. I suspect, the origins of this idea are rooted in the
concept of the spotting station in the M/M class -- I suggest that it is not
the same. It is obvious that the notion of the assisted class has to be
revisited - BUT how do we convince the power that be to re-examine this
issue? Now there is the question :)

1. Is a bottle of Maderia wine for working an individual station on all
bands excessive? Unless it's really cheap wine, and it doesn't sound like
it, yes, I'd think so.
2. Is a bottle of California wine to the top out-of-state scores for the Ca
QSO Party excessive? No -- and not relevant to an individual station
offering an out-of-the-ordinary benefit for working them. This is offered
by the sponsors of the contest, and is an incentive for OOS stations as a
whole to operate -- not to contact one station in particular. And how does
one disqualify an entire contest, anyway?
3. A T-shirt for working 100 Italian stations in the WAIP? Again, if this
is being offered by the contest organizers, not relevant.
4. Dayton prizes, Yaesu hats, and Kenwood logbooks? Oh, c'mon, that's not

So what constitutes "substantive"? Is a bottle of Maderia wine for working

disqualify the entire contest for that? I must confess I did not declare it

Well, that was interesting.
Got six responses in private email, only one went to the reflector.
(actually it was a copy of one of the six sent privately)
One other op had also never seen an excessively-large amp & didn't believe
any were in operation in his area. However, others in the same area were
certain that such amps *were* in use.
Powers between 3 and 15 kilowatts were cited. Several responses indicated
they knew of people running overpower but that those people weren't
contesters. Some, however, did know of overpower contesters, past and/or
present. Nobody admitted to using excessive power themselves...
Now I'm not concerned about amps capable of reasonable headroom. Can you
make 2-2.5kw? That's reasonable. (of course, we expect that you actually
*operate* it at 1.5kw) Similarly, something capable of 500-600w at an I or
G station where the legal limit is 300-400w is not a big deal. To be
literal, there's really nothing wrong with having a 15kw amp as long as
you're letting it loaf at legal power. (regulations may differ in your
country!)
Heck, I used an IC-765 in the QRP category in ARRL DX - it's capable of 20x
the legal power in that category - you have to take my word for it it was
cranked down to 5 watts..

they were not self spots, just one station spotting another one lots of
times. This is fairly common even over here on some vhf/uhf bands,
since I am pretty far from a big city I hear the same stations over and
over on some bands so that is all I have to spot.

I have a FL-2100B here, and after a few hours in a RTTY contest,
it used to get so hot (running 250 watts)the power would start to
drop off. I found a couple of old computer power supply fans and
set them on top of the amp, and now it runs cool throughout the
entire contest. Cheap fix.

Unfortunately this is not the case but it is not known to many hams!
100 W radio uses 200 W pair of transistors which exibit minimum distortion
levels at half power output.
Spurious transmitter products increase at both lower and higher RF power
levels.
20 W of RF drive is very close to transistors idle DC dissipation and clean
RF output can only be achieved in class A only offered by FT1000MP MK-V
radio.

Hello all
On behalf of all the participants in the Wisconsin QSO party I'd like to
thank all the stations in Wisconsin, the US, Canada, and DX stations who
got on to provide some contacts. I noted many well known calls from all
over spending at least some time in the contest. DX activity seemed to be
at a high at least for me. I operated from 3 counties Sawyer (fixed), and
Price and Rusk mobile. Hence I have two seperate entries. The story behind
this is a power failure at my cabin. I worked HA0DU and LY3BA from all 3
counties, G4KHG and OK2EC from 2, and EA8AKN, EI4IS, HB9DAD, OZ8ABE,
DL6KVA, G3WPF and HA2AC from one. Thank you all very much.

Russian DX contest starts in 4 hours from now. See the details and results
on www.rdxc.org
According to the statistics on that site there were 6500 participants and
over 1200 logs sent last year. The yearly increase inthe number of
participants is about 25%. There are very few contests that can boast over
1000 logs sent. Hope this year there will be more participants from North
America.
See you in the contest. We will be MS as RF9C on all bands.

Yes correct. If this happens during a contest it should be up to the
contest sponsors to do something about it, i e enforce rules etc, but
so far as far as I know they simply ignore it.
By the same token stations that are splattering or have excessive
key clicks should also be DQ?d by the contest sponsors since they
sabatoge for other competitors but ofcourse nothing is done.
Things like this has made me loose intesrest in contesting, it?s not
skill that pays off any more just money and sharp elbows and a behaviour
that doesn?t promote the old saying "hamradio for international friendship",
it?s sad but IMO it?s a fact.

There are bunches of reflectors on www.qth.net. There's an ICOM one but I
don't know about one for the 781 specifically.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fact that CQ WPX SSB is on
Easter weekend this year. I know in the past they have used the
excuse that Memorial day and Thanksgiving are American holidays
and much of the participation in CQ WPX and CQWW DX CW are outside
the USA. This is different because Easter is celebrated practically
everywhere in the world. IMO another stupid decision by the folks at
CQ....

Don't usually rise on these, but isn't it time that we STOP calling
people names who do work for FREE organizing these contests.
The weekends are fairly well packed and do not move their slot from
year to year. If you knew anything about Easter, you would know that
it never falls on the same Sunday from year to year. It follows the
Jewish festival of Passover, which is timed on a lunar calendar.
Furthermore, Christianity is hardly the religion of a majority of the
world populace.
All of which may explain why nobody except you brought it up.
Guy.

Message-ID: <15b.aa4e426.29c53f5a@aol.com>
looking at those spotting stats, the VP5 or the 9A1 spotts from W3LPL with
19 or each. Most likely it was probably 2 spots per band on each and most
likely spotted the first time they turned up tht day.
Those stations lucky enuff to enjoy the luxury of having a "mult spotter" are
making most of these stations and not the run station.
all spots appreciated however

Easter Weekend is very good,
no need to take extra vacation from work: Friday and Monday are day offs.

That seems kinda like a cheap shot to me. Exactly what were you
insuating when you wrote this? That he is the only one on this
reflector who celebrates Easter? If so my friend, you are sadly
mistaken!

There are plenty of Muslims, Jews, Hindi, and others that do not
celebrate Easter.
Of course, for me, having WPX SSB on Easter weekend means only a
part-time effort is possible....

I think you misread the post.
1) What does it mean to you when I say >>ALL OF WHICH<< ? Would that
not be ALL of the points above, ALL of the points taken TOGETHER,
including the ones you didn't quote?
2) Christianity IS a minority religion. Miniscule presence in China, a
very minor presence in India/Pakistan, or the Arab-speaking world, all
those easily accounting for a majority of the world population.
Christian holidays are NOT universally celebrated around the world.
And even among Christians, different churches do not all celebrate
Easter or Christmas on the same day.
WPX is a world-wide contest. I am sure there are other contests that
fall on important feasts/holidays in other countries. It would be
impossible to avoid all holidays everywhere. why are ours any more
important than anybody else's?
The cheap shot belongs to the original poster.
73, Guy.

But there are plenty of locales, where as a vestigial artifact of
colonialism the four day weekend is still a secular holiday even though it
may not have any particular significance to a majority of the citizenry as
a religious celebration.
As a consequence of the coincidence this year, participants will find
either: (a) they have more time to devote to WPX than in other years; (b)
they have less time to devote to WPX than in other years; (c) they have the
same amount of time to devote to WPX as in other years.
It's going to help out some and hurts others; leaving things alone is not
necessarily an unenlightened or uninformed decision.

P.S. "practically everywhere in the world" may have been a poor choice of
words; "in a heck of a lot more places than U.S. Thanksgiving" might have
been a superior choice. According to http://www.holidayfestival.com/:

Just to set the record straight, Christianity is by far the
religion of choice for most of Europe, North America and South America.
It also represents 33% of religious adherents worldwide.
http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html
Given Christianity's predominance in NA and EU where contesters are most
populous, I'm quite certain it IS the religion of the vast majority of
worldwide contest participants.
Sometimes we do choose priorities in life other than contests
which is very healthy in my opinion. I also choose to celebrate
my Wedding Anniversary rather than the CQ WW CW when it falls on
November 27, but that is a personal choice...as is observance of Easter.
There is little doubt in my mind that holding the WPX SSB on Easter
Weekend (also Jewish Passover) hurts overall participation but that is
CQ's choice and one can hardly argue with their logic of always keeping
the WPX SSB on the last full weekend of March.

We had to compensate for the slipless night so most of the scores from
Russiand will show up later.
At RF9C we made this year around 2860 QSO for the total score of 8,7 million
points.
Unfortunately the propogation on Sunday was not as good as on Friday. That
is why it seemed like there were very few NA stations participating. Noted
anyway that several (like N2NT, K3WW and some others) had well over 1000 QSO
after the first 12 hours of the contest. Hopefully it was enjoible for all
those who took part seriously.

FYI, from my Religion 101 class:
Religion: % of World Population:
Christian 32.4
Muslim 17.1
Hindu 13.5
Buddhist 6.2
Jewish 0.4
Technically speaking, there is no "majority" world religion as no single
one has a percentage greater than 50%. But while Christianity many not
be a majority religion, it is the largest and I'de bet that it is the
majority religion of world contesters, with most contesters living in
the U.S. and Europe, both hot spots for Christianity.

I would suggest that if everyone's score goes down 32.4%, then
the scheduling of WPX was a problem.
If scores don't go down, it's not.

This thread demonstrates once again that there is very little we "can't"
argue about.
The stats about adherence, however, are skewed: they don't include those who
choose not to be religious.
Be that as it may: Given that religions typically use different calendars
than the rest of us in setting dates for religious observance (except that
most commercial of all holidays, Christmas,) and the resulting "floating" of
holiday dates, I don't believe it is possible to design a contest calendar
that:
1. is predictable year in and year out.
2. doesn't result in conflicts certain years.
3. follows the Gregorian calendar (indisputably the most widely followed
calendar).
Unless you want to put the contest calendar on the Julian system. Which
would mean you'd NEVER know when a contest is supposed to be held.
So instead of calling people stupid, perhaps we could just accept that some
decisions are unavoidable. And perhaps we could accept that "our" take on
the world isn't necessarily everyone else's.

Thanks all for the info on the most "popular" 'tests. And TNX to Igor,
UA9CDC, for the info on the RDXC 'test. Had a great time and will do it
again next year!!
Now my NEXT question is about logging software...
I take it there are 3 "main" ones - CT, NA, and TR. I am running a 486
166MHz 'puter with either DOS or Windows For Workgroups 3.11 - nope, no
WIN 9x - and seriously doubt that I will be using rig to 'puter or rotor
control interfaces. I will probably use the CW interface when my CW
gets up to "contest speed". There is no packet cluster up here in this
area of Michigan - "Up North" - as of yet, but who knows someday there
may be? I have a couple of these 'puters, and may want to network them
together as the YL wants to operate in contests as well when she
upgrades as a multi/multi or multi/2R. Also, no CD-ROM drive on the
'puters either.
So, taking all of the above into account, what would be the group's
suggestion on the "best" one of the 3 for me to use? I am kinda leaning
to NA as it seems to be the most "inexpensive" and has the capability to
allow me to create templates for contests.
See you all in CQWPX! Have to work the night of the 31st, but should
get in a decent amount of time in the beginning of the 'test.

Are they?
I mean, if you've crossed the line at 300 watts, why stop at 1.5 kW? Why
not go to 3 kW, or 10 kW? After all, if you're breaking the rules, you
might as well break them good, right?

If Italy had a 1.5 kW power limit, I'm sure there would also be less
excessive power use (beyond 1.5 kW), period. If you haven't crossed the
line, there's less of a temptation to go for excessive power.
>Italians do not stand out in my memory as obvious cases of excessive power.

I wonder if we need smarter spotting software.
Why couldn't the software keep track of the last 30 minutes or so of
spots, and then inhibit spotting of a station if it was spotted already?
That way, you could spot every station you worked while S & P. The
software would filter out the duplicate spots. That way, there'd be much
less conjestion in the spotting networks, since there would be a lot
fewer duplicate spots and a lot more unique ones.
--
My experience with spotting comes from NQ4I's M/M station. To keep the
packet window clear, I'll often delete spots that aren't applicable. Like
a spot for K3LR or W3LPL. I can't work them anyway. It's somewhat
annoying to see spots like this pop back up. If duplicates were filtered
out at origination, then we'd likely only see a spot every 30 minutes or
so.
Of course, this wouldn't help fix the spots with busted calls for
stations I've already worked. For that I need a button that says, "Ignore
spots for this station". (This would fix the K3LR or W3LPL situation)

-0-
Writelog traps callouts in its band-scope window, doesn't reflect duplicates,
and drops spots out after a user specified interval. Not necessary to even
LOOK at packet, just point and click on the color coded callsign on the
bandmap. You can tell needed mults from unworked stations, and you can see
dupes.
Of course, it can't be responsible for the myriad of miscopied calls, and
typos that are committed. Fortunately, one can filter out BUST/callsign at
the node!

These days, most people would also include WriteLog as one of the
most popular contest logging programs. SD is also very popular in Europe.
You can read a review of contest logging software by G3CWI at:
http://www.qsl.net/g3cwi/contest.html
It is over a year old, so some details may be slightly out of date
(for instance, TR now has some very minimal RTTY support.)

I have found the spots from both of these stations to be useful and am
confused as to why AA4LR does not?
We use DX Telnet as the spot sucker for a CT network...I know it has
filtering available for it...
I am still baffled though why you just do not have the spots showing that
you need from CT's filters....in band map format with an interfaced
transceiver you can zip up and down the band and take advantage of whatever
CT filter option you are using - typically on day 1 all our rigs are set to
new mult by this band only....by the end of the contest it is new qso by
this band....

Uh, Jim you mis-interepreted me.
I was speaking of spots *OF* K3LR or W3LPL. Not spots of other stations
FROM K3LR or W3LPL.
In CQWW, I can't work K3LR or W3LPL for credit from the US. (OK, it could
be a multiplier, but I'm likely to get that anyway)
On the other hand, I'm very happy to receive spots from K3LR or W3LPL.

Come to think of it, the last couple of times at NQ4I's, the internet
packet gateway was set to filter USA stations.

I do that.

The band map is nice, but it takes up a lot of screen space.

At a M/M, you'll have it set for stuff for this band only. I'll flip back
and forth between mults only or new QSOs only, depending on conditions
and my mood.
I can think of three reasons to delete a spot:
* I've already listened and I can't hear the DX.
* Spot is a busted callsign of a station I've already worked.
* Spot is otherwise superfluous (eg a "called-in" spot)
I end up deleting a lot of spots in the course of a contest....

I have been reading the discussion for a while,
for my knowledge, and if look through certain
webpages, I find amplifiers capable of excessive power
all over the world.
The reason why stations from Italy are louder in the states then other
Europeans are simply the better location.
They work stations with good reports I can barely hear
in northern-germany.
This phenomena already excists within Germany if one compares signals between
north- and south locations.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Event Consolidation
Message-ID: <025c01c1cee1$3e9a0810$934afea9@TL01>
Hello everyone. The recent discussions and belly-aching about Easter and
also that European RTTY contest butting heads with the Sprint got me to
thinking.
As unpleasant as the thought might seem, I predict contest consolidation is
in our future in some form or another. I would like to throw out the
question "what are the pros and cons of combining/eliminating certain
events?" I think we'll be better off down the road if we have kicked it
around much like we used to kick around the idea of using computers to log
with.
As a hypothetical for-instance, imagine getting all the sponsors of state
QSO parties to agree to hold their annual QSO parties during the exact same
period (and of course standardizing the exchanges). I can think of good
reasons to do this:
1. less clutter in the calendar
2. tons of activity
I can also imagine a lot of sacred cows being turned to hamburger. But
let's say it could be pulled off in grand fashion? That would be one heck
of an event. Could it be positive?
What is the downside?
Was this discussed already at a time when I was not paying attention?

I am getting it now....
So, if you had a "domestic"filter option to hide the W spots you would
prefer that....and
I also gather that you would like to have an option to limit the amount of
time a posting stays in the bandmap....
That is a whole different nut - seems like the software should be able to be
readily adapted as far as time showing for a spot...would recommend you go
to a dedicated reflector for the software you are using...i.e. NA Reflector
or CT Reflector and go from there.
73, now I understand your dilemma!
By the way did you know that it is only 40 days until the
Florida QSO Party....

Comments:
Friday afternoon @ 3 PM the station was ready, I was ready and cndx sounded
great. I was psyched! 6PM when I got up from my nap, I had chills, a bad
headache with 102 fever and lots of gunk in my chest. I had gotten my
daughters FLU! I knew I was in trouble because the SOABHP category is
extremely competitive and a real endurance event. If you are very sick, you
have almost no chance at winning.
I knew it was a race against time and I decided to take my offtime at 02z
on Sunday. I hoped that I could tough out those 26 hours until the
antibiotic, cough medicine and ibuprofen could take effect.
I had a BLAZING start on 40 with 94 q's by 0030 and 126 q's @ 0040 and I
entertained thoughts that I could make it to the end and break my record.
I started SO2R to keep up the rate and finished with a 167 first hour, but I
was fading very fast. By 0130 my fever was up to 103 degrees and when I
coughed it felt like someone was stabbing me in the head. I operated most
of the next hour wearing a parka and wrapped in a blanket with my head on the
operating desk.
Over the next 8 hours, whenever the chills and fever lessened I would try
SO2R but usually after about 5 minutes I was back to one radio without
tuning. I just didn't have any energy and the discomfort was intense.
When you are sick, you really notice just how draining SO2R can be!
Cndx seemed fabulous the first night, but then the bands seemed to fade about
14Z on Saturday. I had a lot of trouble keeping my concentration and keeping
up the rate. In one respect, doing very little SO2R made it easier to
concentrate on running, but I just couldn't stay focused and awake.
By 19z, I was just trying desperately to make it to my 02z planned offtime,
but the fever wouldn't diminish and the cough/chills were taking their toll.
I went to 40 @ 22z and had a decent hour (115) with a few LP JA's but then
the hallucinations started on top of everything else. Since I have not
had any contest hallucinations since the '87 ARRLCW, I knew that my body
simply couldn't take anymore and it was time to quit. I staggered upstairs
at about 0030z and slept until about 15z on Sunday.
I had 2891/356 at 00z which I was thrilled with under the circumstances.
I hadn't passed many guys to other bands nor actively tuned for much of the
contest with the 2nd radio, but despite that I was still on a record pace.
I felt a little better on Sunday (after 14 hours of sleep!) and operated
wrapped in a blanket. I just couldn't get anything going on Sunday and it
was still too difficult to actively tune much with the 2nd radio. Late in
the afternoon, the medicine started to help and I began passing guys and
actively tuning. This was becoming fun, but it was not the kind of
competitive effort that I had hoped for.
After the contest, I mentioned to Barbara, my XYL, that in the '93ARRLCW
I drove 270 miles with the flu and earaches to operate at KM1H when I was
even sicker. I operated 43 hours in that one and came in second, but needed
two days to recover before I could drive home. Barbara told me I was 9
years younger then and pretty foolish. She was right. I didn't feel too
proud after that!
Thanks to everyone for the q's and the QSY's and congratulations to W4PA
on his victory and to W9RE, N2IC, K9NS and others for their great scores.
Despite everything, I had a lot of fun and look forward to the 2003 ARRLCW!

Message-ID: <005e01c1ceec$751dde60$3829fea9@CATDISH>
The sixth annual Ontario QSO Party will take place on the
weekend of April 20-21st starting at 18:00 UTC on the
Saturday to 18:00 UTC on the Sunday. This contest
is sponsored by the Ontario DX Association.
The "OQP" is Canada's third largest amateur radio
contest! VE3/VA3 stations work everyone, while
stations outside Ontario chase VE3/VA3-land stations.
The contest takes place on all HF bands (except WARC)
both ssb and CW, along with the VHF/UHF bands.
There will again be plenty of multi-county "mobile" and
"rover" activity. There are 48 Ontario multipliers to
chase!
Last year saw a record number of entries submitted and
we hope that we'll see another record number of entries
again this year!
Complete details are at http://www.odxa.on.ca/oqphome.html
There's also an OQP reflector that you can join by sending
a "blank" e-mail to: oqp-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Well, operating from the east coast, I will say that

I have been reading the discussion for a while,
for my knowledge, and if look through certain
webpages, I find amplifiers capable of excessive power
all over the world.
The reason why stations from Italy are louder in the states then other
Europeans are simply the better location.
They work stations with good reports I can barely hear
in northern-germany.This phenomena already excists within Germany if one
compares signals between north- and south locations.
Peter
Peter, you are partly right.
We have the same situation in a small country like Norway. If the country had
been turned upside down the North Cape would have been in North-Africa ! hi .
Our Eastern corner is on the same longitude as Cairo !
Sop when somebody elsewhere is reporting " they worked Europe " - one has to
be more specific ! hi
After all Italy is almost North- Africa.But they have always been mostly phone
people , and back in the dark ages with AM , we used to say they had 100 W
transmitters and 500 W modulators!
Now they just turn up the processors !! Hi

State QSO Parties bring out a lot of "casual" contesters. These are
typically folks who don't work a lot (if any) other contests. Folks "in
state" are the wanted people, and they can have fun with running
stations in a more relaxed and laid back style. This might get them
comfortable enough to take on the challenge of giving a "major" contest
a try ... a new contester is born!
Combining QSO Parties produces just another "Sweepstakes" or other
domestic contest ... which we already have. The activity levels (and
frustration) will be more than the "casual" contester would want, so he
keeps his radio off ... a potential "new" contester is lost.
Of course, if there are several smaller State QSO Parties struggling to
stay alive, I see no no problem with them combining efforts to help
boost activity ... but combining 50 QSO Parties, plus the VE's ... is a
bit much.

Right! And you might consider comparing the comment field as well.
Consider, say a 40m spot that has QSX 7220. If the DX changes his
listening frequency (QSX 7240), you'd want that spot to go out.
So, I think an outgoing filter would compare the callsign, frequency
(perhaps matching within some small epsilon region) and comment with the
incoming spots for the last 30-60 minutes. If it's a match, the spot
would be supressed and not sent out.
With such a filter, you could spot every station you work while S & P and
not fear about flooding the spotting network with superfluous spots.

Folks,
I'm most grateful for the flood of inputs for the first two columns of the
"Contesting on a Budget" series. Now I need your help for the upcoming
column on used equipment.
I'm sure many of us have some interesting stories on their experiences in
buying used gear.
- Where do you look for used equipment bargains?
- What resources do you use to determine what piece of equipment you want to
buy?
- What are words in ads that raise your suspicions about a piece of gear or
antenna?
- What are the most high-risk and low-risk items to buy?
- How do you arrive at a fair market value?
- Package deals, is it usually better to go this route?
- Any comments on the on-line buying and selling?
Your comments on any or all of these questions are most welcome. If you have
a story that you feel may embarrass a seller, I will keep the callsigns out
of the article to protect the innocent. (and the guilty)
Thanks in advance for your inputs. Happy contesting and high rates!
Paul, K5AF

In addition to the down-sides already mentioned, the lifeblood of state QSO
parties is the mobiles they bring out. Many of these are out-of-staters who
help in more than one party per year. Combining all of the parties into one
big hallabaloo (is that a good word?) would significantly decrease the total
interest level, IMO.

Here in this part of the world Italy is always louder then most other Europe
stations. They usually come crashing through any pile we may have. They
seem to have propagation to Alaska for 24 hours a day on 20 meters during
the good times. I have seen Paul, NL7V, who speaks Italian, work "I" stations
for hours on end here during the multi-op contests.
England seems to have the weakest path to this part of the world.
The other countries all have a few stations that seem to be louder then their
countrymen, contest after contest, as location and good antennas makes a big
difference no matter where you operate.
Italy has a lot of hams in a good area of the world for radio. They probably
have
more then their fair share of good near sea water locations. All this probably
makes contesting a little more fun which adds incentive to put up better
antennas,
etc. The "big" amp stories probably comes from the local internal battles among
those that need to be louder then anyone else. Same as we have here in the U.S.

I don't understand this "fear about flooding the
spotting network" - if you are S&P'ing to generate
spots, and working them, 60 an hour is hot and
insignificant in volume, I would think.
Do you run a node, and if so, is volume a problem?
And if you filter out your 15:30 spot, because
you spotted that station at 15:00, then I'll
never see that station if I come to that band at
15:31 because of your posting filter.

Hello,
I have tried this with YEASU digest, but no answer, now trying here, hi.
I have a FT990 with inbuilt power supply. I would like to use it on the
field. Only chance to power FT990 is using electricity board. Any chance
to use cars battery to power FT990? Does YEASU have something? I
remember that my old FT902DM had battery contact (13.8V) apart of that
it had inbuilt power supply. Thanks

Hello, I use a Kenwood TS-850SAT at home for DXing and Contesting. I
am currently building up my CW speed/proficiency after 8 years off of the
radio. My main activities now are SSB and using CW comes 2nd at this point
in time, but may soon change to even usage. I am looking for opinions about
the optional filters that can go into the radio's 3 optional IF filter
slots. There are 2 8830 slots and one 455 slot. Based on your experiences
with contesting and dxing what would you opt for?
I am currently thinking of purchasing all Inrad filters. The models
93 (455khz - 1800hz SSB), 95 (8830khz - 1800hz SSB), and 103 (8830khz -
400hz CW). The radio has stock 2700hz filters in both IF's that I currently
use for SSB.
Lastly... I currently have one Kenwood YK-88C-1 (8830khz - 500hz CW)
filter currently installed in the radio. Would you agree that I should sell
this filter and replace it with one from Inrad? I have read many people
consider the Inrad filters to be better than the Kenwood filters but have no
basis to judge this on personally.
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tim N6WIN.

For cw, I like a pair of Kenwood 500 Hz filters. I used to have a TS-830
with both Inrad 400 hz filters, and I thought it was too narrow. You
really had to ride the RIT to pick up callers even slightly off frequency.
For SSB, I like the stock Kenwood 2.7's. I have an Inrad 1.8, but hardly
ever
use it. I think it hurts intelligibility while reducing bandwidth, and the
net
result is negative. The 850 does not have passband tuning as such, so you
will
probably have to adjust the carrier set point with the narrow ssb filters.
Even
after doing that, I still think it hurts more than it helps.

Yes, yes and YES. The INRAD filters are the best.

They are fabulous. Nice sharp skirts that really play on cw and the phone
ones REALLY make the slope tuning on my 940 work exquisitely on SSB.

I have used an 850 with both Inrad 400 hz filters and another
850 with both Kenwood 500 hz filters. The Inrad filters have a bit
steeper skirts, but either combination would be good.
I've never found a need for the 1.8 SSB filter.

400 Hz filters, but it was a little too narrow. You really had to ride the RIT
to avoid missing callers who were even slightly off frequency.
For SSB, I like the stock Kenwood 2.7 filters, with four or five clicks of low
cut cranked in. I have an Inrad 1.8
in one of the IF's, but find that, while it noticeably improves selectivity, it
hurts intelligibility
of the desired ssb signal. If you do get the narrow ssb filter, you will
probably have to adjust the carrier set point frequency. Even after doing that,
I find that the loss of intelligibility is too much for my liking.

Those who find life long enough for QRP can have their way. However, announcing
it together with the call sign is merely a pathetic attempt to get into the
log! Using low power means being last in the queue, there's no need to try to
change that. /QRP isn't part of anybody's call, so logging it is totally

===================>
Herve,
To my mind, it really would not matter as to whether you place the QRP
addition to your call or not.
Good operators will know how to log you properly.
Recognizing and receiving the QRP additional with your call will not really
slow a good operator down.
Sometimes it might serve as that little bit of "extra" to draw attention to
your call.
For every benefit of putting the QRP addition to your call, others will
find a detriment to same.
If I were operating QRP, I would not use the QRP additional to my call, as
placing it within the call would seem to draw away from the drama of the
pursuit, but others might differ on this philosophy, as well.
Bottom line, I don't think there is a right or wrong answer.
Sort of like clipped letters in a CW exchange; does it help or hurt - only
the phantom knows, with the possible exception of the professional amateurs.

Tim,
I have used almost every combination possible in the 3 TS-850's that I've
owned. I bring one or more of them to Antigua for contests.
I have settled on two sets of 3 filters that I install depending on the mode
I'm going to be operating.
For SSB I use:
-the stock 2.7's (very wide) ( these are built in to the radio)
-Inrad 2.1's in both IF's (Very steep skirts) (in the 500 positions)
-a Kenwood 500 Hz CW Filter (so I can work some CW +/- the contest) (in the
270 position)
For CW I use:
- The 2.7's
- Kenwood 500's in both IF's
- a Kenwood 270Hz filter
The CW configuration matches the 850's display.
For SSB, I had a Kenwood 1.8KHz filter that I tried in place of the CW
filter, but could not hear any difference between it and the Inrad 2.1
filter.
I would suspect that the Inrad 1.8 might be too narrow - except maybe for
wide CW or RTTY or really extreme SSB circumstances. The 2.1's are very
restrictive. While you're operating you don't notice how tight they are,
but when you switch back to the 2.7's you realize how limited the frequency
response was.
73,
Bob N5NJ / V26O

The same thing happened to me. I think a few individuals must have reserved
large blocks of rooms for their clubs or friends.
As a result Susan and I will not attend the Dayton for the first time in 18
years. But I am sure that doesn't matter much to the hotel (or the
Hamvention). We will stay home and save our money for antennas, rigs, etc.

Might it be possible to clarify your feelings on this for the benefit of
the person who asked the question?
He might still be somewhat confused by your not getting to the point.

There are several fishy things about the Dayton Crowne Plaza.
Last year I had a confirmed room, in writing. Took the precaution of
checking about five days in advance - it had gone - "no record"! My
confirmation slip meant nothing.
I have another written confirmation this time. I called at 8am EDT
sharp on that first morning, was put on hold for 50 minutes, and
finally got the next-to-last available room. Decided to check on that
precious room regularly . Called the Crowne Plaza national number,
only to be told that they couldn't help because the Dayton hotel
keeps all reservations locally for special events. Hmmmm.
My assumption has been that big DX/contest clubs were reserving
blocks before the individual booking deadline. Perhaps the true
explanation is sleazier? If so, how can I get in on the deal next
year?

Folks,
I have been operatingn QRP for several years.
It's frustrating, demanding but fun too.
I do sometimes sign /QRP but most of the time I don't.
The main reason I do is for QSLing purposes.
If I work someone and don't mention that I am QRP, then when
that someone gets my QSL then he is apt to forget to
put my call on the QSL as /QRP.
Sometimes those that do sign /!QRP do get an edge in a pileup
and sometimes without signing it you break the pileup
anyway. It's amazing what you can do.
Quite a few years ago when I lived in West Texas, a buddy of
mine had an Argonaut 509 with the extras sans amp. I kept telling him
that the rig was only half of a radio. One day he talked me into borrowing
it and using it in a contest. I did and believe me, I was astounded.
It was amazing!
Life may be too short for QRP for some people, but, I'm just
not in that big of a hurry nor am I big bully that has to be the very first
in line.
I've run Amps before, even had WF5E's BIG BERTHA 4-1000 for quite
a while, so i know the feeling in busting the pileups! I've been DXing for
40 + years
and am still 2 away from the HR. I'll get there someday. It ook me 30 + years
to get USACA-ALL COUNTIES but I got it. Oh yeah, I'm working the counties
again...this time QRP, of course...30 or so to go.
Another thing to consider is taht if you live in an area That is prone to
receiving
interference, you can run QRP all weekend and not have to answer the door
or phone.
73, Tom K5IID/QRP sometimes...

I believe that the contest was cancelled due to dwindling

K1DG always won every category!

are out of service this SSB contest.
So if you think you might like to have an op.. drop me a line PRIVATE

I operate QRP in most of the contests I enter.
I enjoy it.
I don't use /qrp appended to my call.

I agree. It's their problem if they want to (1) extend the length of their
call, (2) extend the length of the time of the QSO, (3) increase the
potential for being miscopied, (4) reduce their rate, and/or (5) appeal to
the called station's emotions.
Believe me, there are enough suckers ...er...ops out there who will respond
the the /QRP bleating to make some QRP ops continue to use /QRP. Put the
blame where it belongs: On the stations who continue to say "who's the QRP?"
or send "/qrp?"
I think you are being unfair to a pretty significant ham population of
operators who aren't or may not be contest-wise as you. Their experience
has taught them that /qrp appended to their call seems to work for getting
them QSO's, so they use it. I don't hear them using /qrp in QRP contests,
by the way. :-)
You need to get on QRP-L reflector and express your concerns about their
usage of /QRP.
>Using low power means being last in the queue
No it doesn't. No QRO station is strong everywhere all the time and no QRP
station is weak everywhere all the time. I'm sure ... no, I know I've beat
out many, many ops in pileups who were running LP or QRO while I was running
QRP. Happens all the time.

Then don't log it.

Isn't this all sounding a bit like buying tickets for a rock concert? The
first umpteen rows are for the rock DJ's and their squeezes....the bulk of
the remainder go to the ticket houses who then raise the prices a magnitude
or two. The rest, you would be lucky to see or hear.
I was so laughing at Utah during the Olympics...here's this so-called
religious-oriented/-established State..no beer, no alcoholic beverages, and
who knows what other restrictions, but ticket-scalping of their citizens is
okay!

Quack's
I agree with the statememt that /QRP is just a waste of time. Look at the
nr of dits and dahs. That is equal to a 1x2 or 2x1 call. the /qrp usually
follows a 2/3 call sign. This really drags out a contact and if you miss
one of the letters in the person's call, they usually send the wd7???/qrp
again , I operated the Stew Perry 160 test and didn't send QRP once. In
that one it really wouldn't make any diff but in the WPX with high rates.
BIG DIFF.
The /QRP never makes it to my log for submission.

How can a thing like this be so difficult? A callsign is a thing
that identifies your radio station, i e from what country you
operate and a the specific person it belongs to.
If you dont operate from your normal location you are forced
to indicate so. Forexample OH/SM2EKM if I go to Finland.
If I work portable from my own call area in Sweden it would
become SM2EKM/p if call area 3 SM2EKM/3p or if I?m
mobile I use /m or /AM /MM etc etc.
It would actually be illegal ti sign /QRP /QRO /BATHTUB
/TRAINMOBILE /BICYCLEMOBILE or what ever
mickey mouse stuff like that.
An NO I will not log QRP either, or any other invented
mickey mouse thing by strange people.
Why not make it simple? If I work a contest what is the goal?
Yes, to make the QSO as quick as possible. How is that done?
Well, the fundamental part is to get the station you try to work
understand your callsign as quck as possible. How is that done then?
Well, NOT by giving /QRP or any other thing like that that will
confuse things, NOT by giving anything else but your call sign.
and please note MY callsign is not "Kilo Mike" or "Mike Two" or
"Echo Kilo" IT IS Sugar Mike Two Echo Kilo Mike and no
nothing else.
Why does people make things harder then needed?
73 Jim SM2EKM
PS: For pople that arent sure of what their callsign is dig out the
amateur licens form they once did get from the authorities and
read it one more time, your callsign will be on that paper
PS2: I wish we had more people like 9K2ZZ

I take my hat off to those who, quietly, work stations with qrp. More power
(pun intended) to their elbows, as some might say over here. I know of a
number of US stations with very high DXCC totals running qrp, but others
may not be aware of it simply because they do not add '/qrp' to their
'callsigns'.
Personally it has always been my practice to sign the call issued to me by
my licensing authority though I am bound to admit that, technically
speaking, from a particular call I made only three qsos with the exact call
specified in the licence and 90,000 with what I assume the licensing
authority really meant.
There is a number of operators who think that signing /qrp gives them
special privileges. They are allowed to call at any time irrespective of
the fact that a qso is already taking place and, when contacts are being
conducted at a quick pace, they can send their callsign for 60 seconds
without listening. Indeed there is no need to send the full call, mere
sending '/qrp' repeatedly should be sufficient for the DX station to stop
everything and attend to them.
In short they think that drawing attention to their being (?) qrp means
that everyone else should stop and wait for them. It's rather like the
'please listen for my buddy' nonsense aka 'lists'.
Real QRPers do not sign '/qrp'.

Hi,
Has anyone tried to take a rig onto an airplane lately? Is this permitted
any longer? I want to take a 12v mobile rig in my hand-carried suitcase.
Without a power supply, I won't be able to turn it on if requested to.
What is likely to happen?

Why would it matter if a card comes back to you with the /qrp? Does
that make the card any more correct? How would the station you work
have any way to verify that you were qrp to make that qsl mean anything
beside that you made a contact.

Hi Hal. I've flown several times since 9/11. Here's a list:
-Baltimore, MD to Denver, CO
-Denver, CO to Bozeman, MT
-Bozeman, MT to Denver, CO
-Denver, CO to Baltimore, MD
-Raleigh, NC to Baltimore, MD
-Baltimore, MD to Raleigh, NC
I've used several different airlines and have been to a variety of
different sized airports. My experience is that if you are carrying the
rig on the plane with you:
-It's highly likely they will search the bag it's in/question you at the
medical detectors/x-rays.
-They will almost certainly search the bag it's in and question you at
the gate.
In my experience they seem to understand what cameras and laptops are
but a mobile rig might give them problems. My advice is to:
-Have the original copy of your license with you.
-Have a through and neutral explanation for what it is and what you
intend to use it for.
-If you can, find an advertisement for the rig in an AES, HRO, or like
catalog and bring the catalog along with you.
-Bring a power supply with you if at all possible so that you can turn
it and turn a few knobs for them.
-Inform them that you know you can't use it while the plane is in flight
(at least, without the pilot's permission).
Most importantly, try to take the questions and searches "in stride". If
they don't see you getting nervous or acting weird and freely giving
consent the odds are great that they will let you carry it on. Make sure
to have a good story for what it is and be open and candid throughout.
DO NOT bring along any screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. with you. If they
have to open it they will have all of these tool there but DO NOT bring
them with you.
I would also advise that you allow plenty of time to get to the gate/on
the plane (must more then what they recommend) just in case they do go
over it thoroughly and have a back-up plan for what to do with the rig
if they won't let it on. Also, although it's not PC to say so, you will
have an easier time making it through security if you are any of the
following, the more the more likely:
-Male
-White
-Not overweight
-Not tall
-Not wearing a lot of layers of clothing
In my experience that has been the case since 9/11. Just my $0.02. Best
of luck and 73!

Just line up.
Be exactly on frequency.
Call with your callsign sent only once.
No last two only calls.
Don't everybody call at one time.
Before the contest, make sure you are in the callsign database.
Make sure all packet spots are callsign correct.
Only send a 599 report.
I agree.
Putting QRP in with your callsign makes it just too hard.
Now then, you mobile stations, just don't even bother.

Well, in the mail today was a card from a JA for a qso in last weekends
BARTG and include was a new style IRC!! They are as big as a qsl card
themselves and clearly stated on the back (in about 30 different languages)
is the expiration date, 31-Dec-2006. So these new ones clearly will expire
but after checking again on the older ones I have, I can find no expiration
date. I'd check at the local post office but every time I bring one in, it
takes the whole office just to figure out how to spell IRC. 73

The best contest going by far is the Poison 'de Avril contest
which has been running on April 1st for some time (haven't seen
any announcement yet this year). You can operate any mode you
want, any class (make one up and be sure to win), make up your
own exchanges, etc. The neat thing about it is that you can
print up your own first place certificate or go buy a plaque and
get it engraved to show your are 1st place finisher, World No
waiting for results to be published in a magazine, then the long
wait for the prize. No limit on band changes or how many radios
can be on the air at the same time. Use packet and be S.O.
unassisted, legally. For a complete set or rules, contact Doug,
K1DG.

Hal:
Get an extra power connector or cable for the rig. Then get 2 battery
holders, each for 4 "AA" cells. Attach the battery holders back-to-back
with double-faced tape or super glue. Wire both packs in series to the DC
connector for the rig. This will provide about 13v, and will power the
receiver of most 12v radios for about a minute. That's OK, since all they
want is to see the front panel light up and noise come out of the speaker.
Even if you leave the radio on long enough to run the batteries down, after
an hour wait the batteries will be capable of the same thing again, although
for a shorter period. I change the batteries every trip. Even if they
don't like the battery pack, after you've explained what it's for, as long
as they've already checked the radio you can just toss the batteries out and
replace them at your destination and you're only out $5-$6. (A "stick" of
12 "AA" alkalines as Radio Shack usually costs about $8).

Subject: [CQ-Contest] I won't log /QRP
References: <LPBBJJHKFOOEGKEBKHOJMEDMEAAA.kg5u@hal-pc.org>
Message-ID: <007201c1d2c1$ba0fc000$59d6d6cc@scott>
Many have raised very good points as to why /QRP should not be logged. I DO
log the /QRP, however, mainly because I tend to log whatever was sent in the
same manner in which it is sent, AND because there is no way I'm going to
remember to put the /QRP designator on a QSL card unless I have some record
to tell me to do so.
I guess another reason why I log /QRP is because I know that some people
will make contacts using different power levels...didn't someone enter the
CQWW SSB 160m Contest in two separate power categories? I know a couple of
DXers who will work a DXpedition on all bands and then go back and work the
same group as a /QRP station...I agree that it makes just as much sense to
sign /QRO, but also agree that it sometimes helps in making a
differentiation between the different contacts (and keeps the person from
looking like a LID who is bent on making numerous insurance contacts).
And another confession...I'm one of the ones guilty of telling the /QRP
station to go ahead, thus helping to encourage those who sign /QRP to
continue the practice. Why? Not because I feel sorry for the guy, but
because for some reason it stands out. The same applies to the station who
uses unique phonetics. Right or wrong, "Itchy Underwear" on SSB is usually
going to get through quicker than "India Uniform" (and I'm sure these words
will come back to haunt me in the next contest...). As "Quack" said, /QRP
is often the only thing you'll hear of a callsign. Annoying, perhaps, but
true. Someone slap my hand the next time you hear me call for the /QRP
station or when I answer the station sending only two letters of his/her
callsign...
Of course, I believe the original question concerned whether or not omitting
/QRP from a given callsign was considered a logging error, and it appears
that the answer is "No."
It would be interesting to see the numbers of /QRP designations in CW vs.
SSB...I think spending a weekend sending KS4YT/QRP on CW would drive me
crazy; especially when I think about the number of times that a station I'm
answering will have already worked someone in the time it takes to send
KS4YT at a slow 25 wpm.
I agree that the best place for this subject is on the QRP reflectors, and
I'd be interested in seeing the various opinions expressed there. I guess
if someone wanted to create a backlash against the practice of signing /QRP,
we could all start sending /QRO and see the reactions. Of course, then
we'd have to come up with an appropriate designation for those in the 50-200
watt range, wouldn't we (or is my ignorance showing)? =)

I don't understand the confusion.
The contest will be held on April 1, same as every year. I announced the
full rules last night around 03Z on 20M CW. I am pretty sure VP6DI copied
them OK - even though I was running QRP I was on a nice clear frequency
around 14075.
For the record, there are no QRP categories in the Poisson d'Avril. Life's
too short, and we are all getting older. Some of us will actually get a
whole year older just during this contest.
I will win the P d'A again, same as every year. And I don't understand why
people would protest my winning every year and quit trying. After all, did
people complain when K1AR won the CQWW and ARRL DX contests all those years?
Oh, wait...maybe that's a bad example. Never mind.
I'll try to get around to posting some rules this week if the medication
takes hold. Or better yet, make up your own. I'm flexible. Winner in each
category I approve gets the secret password for Crowne Plaza room
reservations. I can't tell you now what the password is, but it's a kind of
a fish.
So if you think you have a category you can win, give it your best shot.

Thanks for all the answers about /QRP logging

not to speak about QRP or not (in contests or

Besides (out of topic, sri), I recently bought an

definitly don't need. Only few AL1500 are in use
in France, so there is probably no interest here.

Hal,
If you find out you can take the rig on board, what you might
want to
do is get a 12V Wall Wart that can just supply enough current to power
the Transceiver. You can get wall warts up 2 to 3 amps if I remember
correctly
and that way you will be able to turn the rig on. There is no reason they
would
aske you to transmit that I know of.

Hal,
here's a partial answer to your question re radios in carry-on luggage. In
February I flew to Tahiti from LAX (non-stop) on Air Tahiti Nui. I carried my
FT990 and assorted electronics in a locked Pelican case, as well as an Icom
735 in a carry-on bag.
My companion and I had a total of 4 checked pieces of luggage as well as
three pieces of carryon (including a laptop). On ticket counter checkin, our
checked luggage was randomly (yeah, right!) selected for X-ray while we
accompanied it. The Pelican case had to be opened and checked for explosives
or residue, but otherwise there was no issue.
On going to the gate my carryon with the radio (and a bunch of wire and junk)
was tagged for visual inspection. The radio was of no interest (neither was
the laptop). The Vibroplex paddles were of great interest however ... no one
quite knew what to make of them or for that matter my explanation of what
they were for ... "Morse Code?, you mean people still do that?"
No problems whatsoever ... of course I did have to give them my shoes, but
that's another story ... (I got them back).
On the reverse trip, things were even easier although all bags were X-rayed
leaving Papeete for LAX. No need to open anything however ...
All in all, I think that worrying about increased security re radios is
unnecessary. If you fit the profile you're going to be questioned and
inspected at some length, if you don't, you won't be --- radio or no radio.
73 and have a great trip

One thing to watch for if you actually try to cash in an IRC is the
postmark. My local PO actually has someone who understands them and has
refused to cash them for missing postmarks on the side that is supposed
to be stamped when you buy it. He has also refused them when he can
tell that the postmark isn't from the country I am trying to send the
card back to.

Hal Offut's post was a good one. I must add one small correction, though
as it deals with an important point.
Many have asked, over the years, about OPERATING their ham rig onboard
the A/C. Contrary to the popular understanding, the ONLY one who can
officially authorize use of transmitting equipment that is NOT certified
for use with the A/C in question is the CARRIER. It must be in writing
and must be from them.
The pilot, crew, or others cannot do this. They CAN restrict bringing it
on.. (and if an inflight emergency, then they have total command of the
craft and can allow it to be used, of course!) but the carrier is the
only legal authority who can grant you permission to operate.
73
Chuck K3FT
Tis a bit off topic for contesting.. but important detail, none the less.
I checked this with ARRL and carrier operators.

Probably because LP and QRO stations are more ubiquitous (both
individually and combined as a group) than QRP stations. Perhaps QRP
stations see this "rareness" as some sort of advantage and want to make
it well known (even though it isn't an "advantage" over their
competitors, other QRP stations). In this case by sending "/QRP", about
the equivalent of a 1x2 callsign on phone or CW in addition to their
real call.
Or maybe because QRP stations rarely break pile-ups when they do they
want it to last as long as possible, hence why they send "/QRP" and
often repeat their call several times :-) In my view, life's too
short for QRP and life's defiantly too short for "/QRP".

Message-ID: <NEBBIHDFILKFAICDBOGHAEMGDDAA.jljarvis@abs.adelphia.net>
Folks,
There has been some good advice, and some questionable on
this topic.
First, I have NOT carried an HF rig onboard since 9-11. But I
fly virtually every week, and I HAVE carried an HT, with no
difficulty, several times.
Prior advice is pretty much sound, about having your license
with you. Couple of things, though:
1) Visit customs, in advance, and get a declaration form which
permits you to list the inventory you are carrying with you.
They will stamp this with an official stamp. Carry it in the bag,
always. Get several copies of this, in case some bureaucrat wants
a copy for his records. Doesn't matter whether you're leaving the
country or not. It officially lists your inventory.
Include in that inventory ALL wire, headsets, keys, and
interconnecting cables. Be specific.
2) Place your tools in a checked bag. You can't carry them on.
3) DO NOT bring batteries jury-rigged to permit you to fire up a
radio which requires that you plug in the power supply. It's sketchy,
at best, and suspicious looking, at worst.
If they insist that you power the rig up, ask for an AC jack,
and get on with it.
If they want to see you transmit...point to the rolled up 40m dipole
made of #24 wire, in the bag...and say, I have to stretch this out to
transmit.
4) When approaching the X-Ray machine, advise personnel that they
WILL want to hand inspect the radio sack, as well as run it through
the machine. This sets you apart from the mainstream, and positions
you as a responsible party. Then be patient with them.
As for me....with an investment in carry-on bags for my 756pro & ic2kl...
I'm going the Pelican case route, next time. For 200 bucks, you can
solidly protect your radio, and not strain your back. And it's waterproof.

Hi all,
Interesting thread.
As a QRP type since '78 (go 'head and snicker..),
I never send /QRP when doing hunt & pounce,
which is about 99.9% of the time.
EXCEPTION:
If the other stn sends /QRP then I'll send it and
make it a 2X QRP contact.
Like tom said "../QRP is not valid designator "
and IMHO a time waster. (no offense intended)
When I'm calling CQ (and beating off the wolves)
and things get slow, every once in a great while I'll
throw out a "/QRP" - just for the heck of it, to see if
I can hook that occasional stn feeling sorry for my
P-weak signal...
But, I doubt if I use it more than a dozen times
during a contest...
The way I see it, QRP doesn't mean send sloooow
cw. I'm constantly tweaking the speed knob on the
keyer to match the other station.
I've found that my call is most readable between
28 and 32 WPM. [exchange is faster]
By readable, I mean -no/minimum repeats-
and not messing up the other guy's "flow".
In the Army I topped out at 45WPM, but thats alot
of brain cells ago. Ifya know what I mean.
Just my $.02

I can't find anywhere on a new or old IRC where it says you can only get
postage if the letter is going to the country where the postmark on the irc
is the same. Is this really the case?

One thing to watch for if you actually try to cash in an IRC is the
postmark. My local PO actually has someone who understands them and has
refused to cash them for missing postmarks on the side that is supposed
to be stamped when you buy it. He has also refused them when he can
tell that the postmark isn't from the country I am trying to send the
card back to.

That would seem to allow "/QRP". I do run QRP often, but
do not use the indicator - and find it very annoying when I
have to copy it along with someone elses call.
Now, how about all the mobiles that sign "/M"? Isn't that
a prefix assigned to England and thus illegal?

Let me add my experience.
On my way from Jacksonville, FL to Cayman Islands I experienced no problems
with my checked-in luggage (hard wall small suitcase). I was carrying a
IC-706, Alinco DM-330MV, Sony laptop, memory keyer etc.
On my return from Cayman, all luggage was "hand searched". After she opened
my radio case, panic set in. I showed her my ZF2LM license and Cayman issued
license to import the gear. After examining the documents, she thanked me
for it and closed the case.

There is something fishy here. I know for a fact, the log I sent
to him last year had a higher score than he claimed. In fact I
found out that there were quite a few others that had higher
scores than he did. I sent a local operative of mine over to

frantically shredding some documents. All of the logs that had a
lower score than he did were still there, but as for others, they
all seemed to have disappeared. All that was found was a large

Is this San Juan Puerto Rico?
If it is,
there are some restaurants and small lounges inside the new terminal
that will allow you to stay within the security control points.
It is a very new and modern terminal so indeed it has changed from 2 years
ago
Security is very strict but its very confortable. Enjoy your trip...

No, it isn't illegal".
"M" might mean have more than one interpretation, based upon historical
context.
I have wondered about this, as well.
Sort of like an "N" .. is it a 9 or an "N" ??
It may get logged wrong, and scored wrong by the computer that is on
control of what should be operator controlled, but it is not illegal.

VE8/N5RP
N5RP/special event pod racer ............... All are legal.
Problem might be...........
Hmmm. ??
Dunno................ Maybe it just does not fit the computer program.
Communications interpretation being controlled by the software instead of
the operator.
Just more flavor to be added to operator controlled contest communication
interchange, unless we all want perfect Hz, perfect speed, perfect DSP
reception and logging.

Since /QRP is a power designation, I suspect that people should
ALWAYS suffix the call sign with the operating power such as:
VE6YP/147
K1TTT/1499.5

If one were mobile in, for example, Hawaii, any of the following would be
acceptable identifications using voice:
(callsign) mobile, (callsign) mobile 6, (callsign) mobile KH6 (or NH6, WH6,
AH6), OR just (callsign).
On CW, the words mobile or portable are to be replaced by "/".
The mobile or portable designator can be before or after the callsign,
except if you are a U.S. licensed amateur operating in Canada, in which case
the mobile or portable designator MUST be after the callsign.
A mobile station identifying on CW with (callsign)/M6 (or whatever number)
is in violation. (If you were operating in the U.K. under CEPT privileges,
you would identify as M/(callsign).)
Having said all that, everyone does it. If it's important, we could all
write to Riley. No, I don't think it's important.

It might be worthwhile taking his IRC business elsewhere--to another post
office, that is.
A post office in Webster, TX, which is on my way to/from work I have found
is a great place to transact IRC redemptions. The ladies there are super
and recognize the fact that it's not my fault when the IRC is misstamped or
not stamped at all. Now, I'm sure if I walked in with a bundle of the 'bad'
IRC's, they would draw the line somewhere. But, as long as it's only a
half-dozen a year or so, they take them without hesitation.
As to "the postmark isn't from the country I am trying to send the card back
to," what are you doing that alerts them to that? Maybe if you simply go in
to redeem the IRC's for postage without any outgoing mail in hand, it might
work out better for you. I've never been asked where I'm sending postage
from redeemed IRC's.

Message-ID: <000d01c1d3c5$4c809dc0$5a2afea9@sbcglobal.net>
SECRETS OF CONTESTING, CH. ONE
As I pass through the twi-light years of my radio contesting career, I think
it important
to reveal some of what I call "Secrets of Contesting". Perhaps others may
find them helpful. I hope so.
Although it is perhaps all to easy to take a few hundred thousand contest
QSO's for granted, one may reasonably ask, "How can you possibly demonstrate
such a keen accuracy in REMEMBERING six or more characters, sent only once,
at a very high speed, and then faithfully re-transmitting them back, and
again accurately logging them?" For me, a Contest Forum virtually cannot
pass without having to expound on just HOW I have been able to do this, with
such inordinate skill, and for so very many years. If you truly wish to
learn this secret, please read on...........
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN that the simple act of CHEWING GUM will improve your
short- and long-term memory by up to 35 percent! It is believed that the
gentle exercise of chewing may be enough to raise a person's heart rate and
increase the flow of oxygen to the brain.
Chewing may also trigger the release of insulin in the body, which could
increase the uptake of blood sugar by the brain. It is firmly believed that
it is nothing IN the gum, but rather that the act of mastication (repeat,
mastication) that is making the difference.
Simply, if you chew gum, you will observe an increase in your heart rate of
five to six beats per minute. This may be unrelated to brain function, but
on the other hand an increase in the blood delivery of oxygen to the brain
probably increases cognitive function.
Also, chewing a stick of gum probably fools the body into thinking that it
is about to get a meal, increasing insulin production. The hippocampus, the
region of the brain that deals with memory, has insulin receptors which are
involved in increasing the uptake of glucose.
It took some trial an error on my part, to be able to make SSB QSO's at a
high rate, while actively chewing, but it can be done. It was very similar
to the practice I was required to employ when I changed from sending CW with
my right hand, to my left hand, some twenty years ago, but it can be done.
So there you have it. Chewing gum helps your memory while contesting.
Please let me know how it works out for you.

http://www.contesting.com/data/spotlight/images/5763e77bd8d393105e5765d3b5c62f9c.jpg
Up in the right hand corner can be seen a computer screen with lightness
and darkness shown, as well what looks like beam headings for long and
short path.
What software might that be?
Anybody know ??
(Duh !)
I guess W6EEN would have the answer if anybody has his E-mail address, or
could forward question on to him.

And perhaps it matters what you chew too

Oh - but there is one thing to remember it does not increase "memory-linked

Hi Tim,
I spoke with Martin Jue (Mr. MFJ himself) at Dayton a couple of years ago
and I suggested to him that MFJ sell this cable pre-assembled as an option.
He seemed very interested in doing just that, but it has not yet appeared as
a product. I haven't seen anyone else offering a commercial unit either,
although some enterprising fellow ham may offer to build you one. (I
actually would offer, but you'll wait a **LONG** time for it since free time
is incredibly scarce these days.)
I made my own right after unpacking it and running the initial tests (I'm
too impatient to wait for anything!). It's "ugly" construction with the
circuit on a small board in an Altoids case (the modern day Sucrets
container for small ham gadgets). The worst part was scrounging the 8-pin
plug for the back of the keyer. It's an oddball connector that cannot be
obtained via a quick run to Radio Shack. In the longstanding tradition of
amateur radio, I wound up butchering a connector from inside a dead modem.
It's ugly, but it works!
The MFJ-434 is a VY FB unit, but I now use it little since I got a good
computer and WriteLog. It will remain close by, though, for those times
when Murphy decides to guest op at my station!

Well I haven't been much of a gum chewer, but I did chew tobacco for the
entire weekend in most of my better efforts over the years. For every new
mult I would ding the spitoon. Nothing like a fresh can of Cope before
sitting down to a CW contest. Now, I did give up that nasty habit again
recently. It's easy to quit. I've done it a hundred times.

SECRETS OF CONTESTING, CH. ONE
As I pass through the twi-light years of my radio contesting career, I think
it important
to reveal some of what I call "Secrets of Contesting". Perhaps others may
find them helpful. I hope so.
Although it is perhaps all to easy to take a few hundred thousand contest
QSO's for granted, one may reasonably ask, "How can you possibly demonstrate
such a keen accuracy in REMEMBERING six or more characters, sent only once,
at a very high speed, and then faithfully re-transmitting them back, and
again accurately logging them?" For me, a Contest Forum virtually cannot
pass without having to expound on just HOW I have been able to do this, with
such inordinate skill, and for so very many years. If you truly wish to
learn this secret, please read on...........
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN that the simple act of CHEWING GUM will improve your
short- and long-term memory by up to 35 percent! It is believed that the
gentle exercise of chewing may be enough to raise a person's heart rate and
increase the flow of oxygen to the brain.
Chewing may also trigger the release of insulin in the body, which could
increase the uptake of blood sugar by the brain. It is firmly believed that
it is nothing IN the gum, but rather that the act of mastication (repeat,
mastication) that is making the difference.
Simply, if you chew gum, you will observe an increase in your heart rate of
five to six beats per minute. This may be unrelated to brain function, but
on the other hand an increase in the blood delivery of oxygen to the brain
probably increases cognitive function.
Also, chewing a stick of gum probably fools the body into thinking that it
is about to get a meal, increasing insulin production. The hippocampus, the
region of the brain that deals with memory, has insulin receptors which are
involved in increasing the uptake of glucose.
It took some trial an error on my part, to be able to make SSB QSO's at a
high rate, while actively chewing, but it can be done. It was very similar
to the practice I was required to employ when I changed from sending CW with
my right hand, to my left hand, some twenty years ago, but it can be done.
So there you have it. Chewing gum helps your memory while contesting.
Please let me know how it works out for you.

It is GeoClock. I have used it for 4 years. Very good. The amateur
version gives you on map centered on your geographical coordinates. There
are 40-50 other maps; various views of the world, the different continents,
medium range regional views and closeups of the various US areas.
A special edition was prepared for us to take to XZ0A in January 2000. It
was extremely useful to have all this info available to not only the low
band stations but was used extensively by the upper HF frequency stations to
determine the greyline/daylight darkness areas while operating from a
different time zone on the other side of the world.
Well worth the dollars. 73 de Milt, N5IA

Hi Syl:
Unfortunately, for some of us, chewing gum is not a good
solution because our teeth are prone to crack and break
while chewing gum. Perhaps some other substance like
frequent food snacks could be substituted. Now, if only
I could get my XYL to go on my contest trips so she
could bring me the snacks. 73, John, K4BAI/8P9HT/8P9Z.

Hmmm-- a thousand miles south of Hawaii. I recommend he go ashore at
Kingman Reef or Palmyra and then there would be no doubt about what to sign.

SECRETS OF CONTESTING, CH. ONE
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN that the simple act of CHEWING GUM will improve your
short- and long-term memory by up to 35 percent! It is believed that the
gentle exercise of chewing may be enough to raise a person's heart rate and
increase the flow of oxygen to the brain.
Chewing may also trigger the release of insulin in the body, which could
increase the uptake of blood sugar by the brain. It is firmly believed that
it is nothing IN the gum, but rather that the act of mastication (repeat,
mastication) that is making the difference.
Simply, if you chew gum, you will observe an increase in your heart rate of
five to six beats per minute. This may be unrelated to brain function, but
on the other hand an increase in the blood delivery of oxygen to the brain
probably increases cognitive function.
Also, chewing a stick of gum probably fools the body into thinking that it
is about to get a meal, increasing insulin production. The hippocampus, the
region of the brain that deals with memory, has insulin receptors which are
involved in increasing the uptake of glucose.
It took some trial an error on my part, to be able to make SSB QSO's at a
high rate, while actively chewing, but it can be done. It was very similar
to the practice I was required to employ when I changed from sending CW with
my right hand, to my left hand, some twenty years ago, but it can be done.
So there you have it. Chewing gum helps your memory while contesting.
Please let me know how it works out for you.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Re: I won't log /QRP
Message-ID: <20020325214556.92052.qmail@web14701.mail.yahoo.com>
This thread is just about dead, but let
me weigh in as a 99% QRP operator.
Over on the QRP-L reflector, you will find
the group there about just as divided about the
/QRP issue as you folks here. (Many of the QRP-L
folks are regulars in contests, and many
subscribe to this forum.) Some will be very
religious about the issue, on either side,
just like many people here.
You will find that most QRP operators in
*CONTESTS* will NOTsign /QRP unless maybe there
is several contests going on in the same
frequency space, as it might not be clear
from their CQ TEST DE which contest. But even
in that case most will probably not.
Where I see most the use of /QRP is not in
contests, but in DX PILEUPS. There (and I
am certainly guilty of this at times, but
not always) one is trying to stand out from
the pack, and many times than not it helps,
just like indicating /M or "mobile" helps.
The goal is to get heard, to get the contact,
and if your personal conscious allows for it,
why not? If the DX station refuses to hear you,
so be it. And if they refuse to put the /QRP in
the log, so be it. At least you will have
the main part of the call, which is all that
matters for a QSL. But once a DX station
stands by for a QRP station, realize that
the "rules" are out -- that station has
declared that they will favor one group
of stations over another. Your choice as the
DX station. Your choice as the would-be DX chaser.
Indicating mobile is not a requirement, at
least not in the US, yet how many people do
that? A very large percentage do so from
what I can tell. Why? Like with the /QRP
there are various reasons: (1) "tradition"
(or thought to be rules), (2) to stand out
in order to "invite" someone to reply,
(3) to "warn" the other users that you might
be a weak or intermittent station to work
based on changing conditions, or (4) to stand
out (as in the DX situation). A fifth
reason, pertinent to mobile only, is to alert
the other person to possibly expect a QTH or
location that is different than the home.
But let me add an interesting 5th reason
that is pertinent to QRP operators -- many
others (non-QRPers) DON'T WANT TO WORK US.
Yep! Surprised? Many QRP operators have
experienced the interesting phenomenon that
once we indicate the usual rig, antenna,
and power information in the QSO, suddenly
the other station has a reason to QRT.
Why, I don't know, especially when they just
told us we were 59 (or even 59plus). But you
would be surprised how many folks have
experienced it. By signing /QRP, the low-power
operator is essentially giving you a "warning"
that indicates that if you don't like talking
to a QRP station, then don't bother to answer
this one. Not that I do this, but I have
talked to many for which this is an issue
on both sides of the argument.
On the other hand, just as many QRP are very
proud of being a low-power operator. Signing
/QRP is a way to "proclaim" that feeling.
Like I said, over on the QRP-L list, you will
find that the QRP operators cover the full
range of amateur radio and share all types of
views on this. The only common denominator
is that they/we prefer to operate at 5 watts
or less power out to the antenna. (You will
find just as righteous a discussion over the
idea of whether a "true" QRP operator can
use a antenna other than a dipole, in other
words whether one is still QRP if you use a
gain antenna. You don't have those discussions
here, or do you? <grin>)
Just so you know, I DON'T sign /QRP in contests
(occasionally for DX, but not contests).
Cheers from Iowa.

One thing that I find a number of times is I copy ???@@@^RP. Sort of like
the end of a long call. So I try the RP go ahead. No response. QRZ.!...
&***%%%$$$#QRP. Aha think I, "the QRP go ahead". SHHHHQRP. Sorry the QRP try
again.SHHHHHHQRP. Please just call, just call !JX5shhhh5XXX! Okay JX5XXX etc
etc
It may sound like I am telling tall tales but it it would happen at least
once per contest where I copy the QRP bit fine each time given but the call
gets buried. When I ask them to leave off the QRP bit the call comes
through.
As for putting QRP on the QSL card. No way. You prove to the awards people
that you were running QRP. I have no knowledge of your power and I cannot
confirm that you were indeed running low power. I can only confrim date time
mode band and that we worked each other.
I am more than happy to work QRP stations. Their pleasure comes through,
literally sometimes. I recently worked a guy using one of these new Yaesu
radios with 5watts pedestrian mobile. We exchanged reports and his signal
was good enough for me to hear the pride and pleasure in his voice. He
didn't say it but it sounded like "a VK wow Yessssssssssss!"
I have refrained from commenting on the 300watts strong signals thread other
than to perhaps note that the comments from people who can legally run
1500watts seem a little ungenerous. Or perhaps they are scared of the
competition if the rest of the world operates on a level playing field on
power. The power hogs are known. They are all alligators - all mouth and no
ears !! They are not all, or even mainly, Italian's.

Message-ID: <02bf01c1d483$792a3ca0$6501a8c0@home>
With apologies in advance to any that may be offended by my profanity.
Help Me Brothers, for I am sorely tempted.
I come to you, my brothers, in my hour of need. Lend me your support, that
I may be strong and pass this aweful test. I am tempted brothers, tempted
by the devil most profane. Do not abandon me my brothers in this, my hour
of need.
I have never strayed from the path, my brothers, never in the 21 long years
of my service to the cause. My first radio, of course, was a TS-830S, and
from that point on I have stayed the course against all temptation. My
father, it must be said, allowed himself to stray. An Icom he did buy, and
sad was I for years to come. But I have been strong, and despite the
Devil's evil offers I have always been true. A pair of beautiful TS-850S's
adorn my alter today.
But I am tempted my brothers, tempted by an evil so strong that I am not
certain that I can sustain my faith against it. It comes to me in my dreams
my brothers, with images of dual receivers with separate AGC systems. It
comes to me as I walk my path in the daylight brothers. Why just today I
saw an image of the Enhanced Digital Signal Processing as I passed through
the garden. And the power my brothers, 100 watts output with either 120
volt or 13.8 volt power - all in a lighter weight package with no messy
external heat sinks.
Oh my brothers, I am sorely tempted. Help me my brothers, lest I fall from
the path.
And the price! The Price my brothers. Only $1999 this week only. Oh my
brothers, only $1999 for perhaps the finest contesting radio ever made.
Yes my brothers, it is the new FT-1000MP Mark V Field that tempts me, it
tests my strength my brothers.
Is there amongst you one, even one, who can turn me aside from this course?
Can anyone tell me that its receiver is poor, or that the IBDT system is
flawed, or that the VRF front end protection module is just marketing hype?
Can one of you save me, my brothers, from the terrible fate that lies ahead?
For it you cannot, I fear that I will fall from grace this week my brothers,
in time to use the dual RX capability on 40 meters during WPX SSB this
weekend. So if you can speak against this evil, do so now, that I may be
spared. It is not a lack of faith in my trusty TS-850S that is causing me
this pain, my brothers. No, not that. It is the terrible temptation of the
Mark V Field that comes to me - and I know not if I can stand against it.

Hi, Rick,
WA7BNM's Contest Calendar at
http://www.hornucopia.com/contestcal/contestcal.html carries at least three
PSK contests--there may be more which don't have PSK in the contest name.
Check QST and CQ Magazine's contest calendars, too.
You might check this out: http://www.qsl.net/wm2u/rumble.html - it's a
specific contest, but it's coming up fast.

Message-ID: <NEBBIHDFILKFAICDBOGHGEOEDDAA.jljarvis@abs.adelphia.net>
Didn't see the start of this thread...but W5GN and K3PP had
traffic on the topic of Writelog not sending CW properly:
I run Writelog in an HP laptop, 700MHz Pentium III, with
absolutely no problem. CW runs fine. Voicekeyer runs fine.
All other functions work. I run Geoclock simultaneously.
Often, I have other programs running as well.
No hacks, skips or lockups in the cw seen.
Have run the same program in a 133MHz Pentium, with 128k dram.
While the human interface was a bit slow, it generated cw ok.
Soundcard died before I could test the voicekeyer.
My suspicion would be that you have another problem, unrelated
to the raw processor speed.

Message-ID: <NEBBIHDFILKFAICDBOGHCEOFDDAA.jljarvis@abs.adelphia.net>
With respect to Father Neiger's retirement plans for his
bubble gum investment:
My wife teaches special ed children. Many have attention-deficit
issues. When it comes time for standard testing, she makes a point
of giving them (sugarless) gum to chew on. Tends to keep them in
their seats and concentrating, by providing a path for excess energy.
Test scores go up. Peggy got a kick out of Jim's description, but says
it's absolutely true.
Without engaging in speculation about our collective early-childhood
development, let me merely observe that some of us have shown difficulty
walking and chewing gum. So it naturally follows that chewing tends to
keep you in the chair!

Hi Jim,
The thread began as a discussion of the MFJ-434 voice keyer, of which I own
one. I mentioned that it's a FB unit but I rarely use it now because my new
computer has essentially replaced it, using WriteLog.
W5GN mentioned that he had some problems with WL on a fast computer. I'm
not sure why he had so much trouble with it, but his was fixed when he went
back to the slower machine. I have had superior behavior from WL on my
1.1GHz Celeron computer, in all modes and functions.
My instinct tells me that a fast CPU speed should be irrelevant, but
obviously, something was awry on his faster machine. Maybe someone else
could shed light on it.

The mercury amalgam is no big deal.
On the other hand, consider the poor dentist, drilling
all that amalgam! It's a wonder K3WW can sit in the

Message-ID: <018801c1d506$df6d8020$74e6bfa8@mirage>
Hey, Sprinters! A while back I sponsored an "Honor Sprint" that ran under
the same rules as the regular North American Sprint, sponsored by the NCJ,
but without any of the formal log checking - honor-system reporting only.
It was "just for fun" and to keep the skills sharp in the long time between
February and September.
Is there any interest in running one again this May? May 12th (0000Z) looks
like a good date (although the CQ-M contest is also running that weekend)
and is the weekend before the Dayton Hamvention, so you won't be in the
doghouse for buying stuff :-) We could run for either two hours and make it
a 20/40-meter contest, or the full four hours and use 20/40/80.
Suggestions? Other options include making it earlier in the day and trying
a 10/15-meter format.

along the way and he always had time to stop and say hello.
He'll be missed!

And what if you're not running QRP, Tom?
What makes you think only QRP stations are guilty of calling off frequency?
I may well start asking station who call me off freq what their power level

Hi,
My request for interesting tidbits from 2001 SS Phone has already generated
a few responses. Thank you.
I did, however, get a few tidbits from SS CW, which Randy, K5ZD has already
written..
Thanks for the CW tidbits, but I'm only doing the SSB writeup.
You can now send them to my home address: ve4xt@mts.net

Not to bash, particularly, but isn't the trade-off for QRP to do by
technique, cunning, persistence what is usually accomplished with
power for lesser effort, particularly in contesting?
It would seem that interference problems are largely solved by staying
at low power, 100 watts, though QRP will definitely keep you off the
neighbor's radar. QRP contesters that I know do it for the challenge
of mind over watts, or because they have some deep-seated need for
self-flagellation.
That being so...
Why **NOT** point out to QRPers that zero beating the CQ-ing station
is another one of the mind-over-watt techniques that helps. And is
this not more pertinent coming from those who **LISTEN** to QRP
signals to work them?
Higher power stations get away with being off frequency by making up
with QRO what the IF filter has taken away with selectivity skirts. An
uncopiable signal dead on my frequency that matches my
sending/receiving timing will get some work to try and pull it out. If
it's up or down a bit, could just be another station elsewhere in the
world that is working someone that is loud where they are, and gets
ignored.
Not a matter of guilt, but how fine a QRPer can cut it to his own
advantage.
73, Guy.

Hello everyone,
My brother Bill, W4RM, is traveling with his family in the Berlin area now
and was wondering if there were any DL Multop stations that were going to be
on during the CQ WPX this weekend. He is a good contest op and a member of
Potomac Valley Radio Club and can help out operating if needed. He said he
would be back in Berlin this coming Friday morning and would checking his

Subject: [CQ-Contest] A couple of Observations
Message-ID: <004501c1d5d7$53a43580$ecdafea9@N1>
I pay close attention to the remarks made on the reflector when it pertains
to manufacturers and vendors. Most of this feedback has been given with the
best of intentions and can provide valuable data to us all in making future
decisions. With that in mind I would like to pass on a couple of recent
experiences.
#1 The Good News
I purchased a Force12 C4SXL. I was very pleased with the quick shipping and
handling of the product by the seller Texas Tower. And get this, they
actually thanked me for the business when we concluded our telephone call.
But the good news does not stop there. When I had some questions regarding
the construction and erection of the antenna, I called Force 12. Tom
Shiller took both of my calls and gave me the information I needed in a
polite and informative manner. He did not rush off to take another call or
try to brush me off but filled me in on some "extra" details that were very
helpful and clearly demonstrated to me the he and his company really cared
about their products and service. So thanks Force12.
#2 The Bad News
I had to send my IC775 off for some service. I had previously talked with
this repair shop regarding a potential problem and thought I would call him
and get his opinion on the possible repair. During that conversation he
never informed me that he was not an authorized Icom repair station. In
fact he indicated that there would be no problem in obtaining parts if
required. Certainly he sounded knowledgeable on the product. So, I sent
the unit to him with the detail of problems. Also in the note was my Visa
number so that he could charge it and return it to me without delay.
He did call about a week after receiving the product to inform me that he
could not fix one of the problems. He did not have the proper tools to do
it and for him to obtain the tools would be too expensive. He said he would
look again at the unit and maybe he could "fix it". About five days later I
received another telephone call indicating that he had fixed the main
problem but that the problem requiring additional tools could not be
repaired. I said fine send it back to me. It was then that he informed me
that he wanted payment via Pay Pal and Pay Pal only no other credit cards.
A bit miffed that a business would not be taking a bank credit card I paid
him using Pay Pal. So here are the caveats: Check to be sure that the
place where you are sending your valuable equipment is in fact an authorized
repair station for that brand. Check their payment terms in advance. If it
is not the factory repair facility, get some real references not ones posted
to a web site.

Another 2 cents worth, is it just me or is has some sort of assumption
been made that QRP operators are not experienced enough to realize about
zero beating properly?? I think most would have long ago realized that the
frequency has a lot to do with the percentage of replies.
I have operated some QRP and never seemd to have much problem from that.
In fact the percentage of answers to calls has always amazed me. QRP must
not be all that far down in the mud thanthe usual 100w signal.

If you go to jarl.or.ip/English/4_Library/A-4-3_contests/AADX.htm you will
find the results for the last five yrs. That may also get u to record
scores but didn''t pursue it. If I messed up my spelling go to SM3CER's
website and just click on web for the appropriate contest. That usually
gets you close to where you want to be.

I enjoy reading the "tips of the weak".
I think most extra effort and skill comes from the people trying to
hear QRP signals. The receiving party is the one doing the actual
work, and suffering the pain and punishment of reading weak
signals.
All contests should award significant bonus points to the stations
that copy QRP signals, rather than to the station who makes an
effort to be weak.
The present system is like horse riding. Women ride side-saddle,

First however, the intent was not to bad mouth this or any other specific

The awarding of "bonus points" for working Novice or Technician
contestants in the ARRL 10 meter contest is consistant with this
premis: the station taking the extra time and effort to work a
station sending and receiving substantially more slowly than the
average station should be rewarded. To the extent you need extra
fills to complete the QSO with the QRP station, you deserve
extra points for that achievement. This is especially true
in Serial Number contests, such as Sweepstakes, where only the
RECEIVING station is the one penalized for communications problems.
Communications should be a two way street.

As the editor that added the Tip of the Week regarding QRP and zero beat,
let me add my two cents worth...
I do find more QRP stations have a different offset than the usual 800 Hz
so-called "standard". If you are running a YaeKenCom box turned down to QRP
(as I do), they are all pretty much identical as far as offset goes, and so
is TenTec, but there sure seems to be a lot of variation between the smaller
manufacturers. I don't know about Elecraft yet. QRPers are also much more
likely to be operating homebrew rigs or separate receivers and transmitters,
making the issue important.
I didn't put the tip in there as a knock on QRPers, but to point out that
being on-frequency is MUCH more critical in big contests than in casual
operating.
On a similar note, I find that on 20-15-10, Europeans tend to call a couple
hundred Hertz higher than NA and JA stations. Anybody else notice this?
Any opinions?

This will never work Tom.
How would an op know to claim qrp points for a qso?
A few folks on this list have been very vocal about QRP.
"I have no way to know what power the other station was running"
"I never put /qrp in the log"
"using /qrp is illegal" (No...in the USA it's not. Plus not all qrp
ops answer to the FCC)
Life's to short...", yada, yada, yada...
These great ops the feel QRPers are the scum of the earth would never

FYI and for what it's worth department:
I am a little pistol using the Ameritron AL-811H amplifier. The power switch
recently failed. This a little el-cheapo lighted rocker switch made by Carling
and probably other manufacturers. I called Ameritron and talked to a tech
support type. He stated he would mail me a new switch, but I would have to pay
the $7.00 minimum plus UPS charges. He said the switch was less than 2 bux.
What the heck I wanted to get back on the air. A week later UPS delivers a
plain jane rocker switch, no light. This cost me just under $10.00 with the UPS
fee. Called the tech support person back and he said no mistake, that is what
they use now, probably because they could not get the lighted one anymore. I
said something like, "unbelievable" and hung up.
The only indication you have that the amp is turned on are the meter lights,
which failed awhile back, and the power switch. I replaced the meter lamps
with a higher quality lamp from the local surplus store.
The good news: A friend relayed to me that Astron, who uses the same identical
switch, replaced his broken power supply switch free of charge, no questions
asked. I called Astron. The only question the Astron parts lady asked was for
my address. When I asked the charge, she said "none." Here is a company who
likes to keep customers happy.

Ward, I have noticed this. Perhaps it's just the fact that we work tons of
EU in DX contests here on the east coast and there's thus a noticeable
number of EU stations not zero beat. One thing I do know is that I will
preferentially answer the station that is zb (unless I hear a juicy mult
off-freq).
The problem with the off-freq callers is that they could be on-freq callers
to another station (who I don't hear on 10-15-20) and they're not really
working me! Timing too easily can be right for this to happen.
Of course if I happen to have the 250Hz pair of Inrads cut in, I don't
really hear 'em. OK as long as the stack of stations is still there...

As to how often QRP stations have reasonable signals... quite often
really. Also the antenna system on my end is significant help. If a
QRPer has cleaned up his antennas to maximize what his 5 watts
accomplishes, it's quite likely that I will hear him and copy first
time no troubles.
That said, LOTS of answers to CQ's are off frequency. QRPers and guys
running KW alike.
I really don't know why. I only know that it is a lot harder on the
QRP than the QRO.

***************
The ARRL Letter
Vol. 21, No. 13
Mar 29, 2002
***************
==>DENNIS MOTSCHENBACHER, K7BV, TO JOIN ARRL HEADQUARTERS STAFF
Noted contester and DXpeditioner Dennis Motschenbacher, K7BV, will join
the ARRL Headquarters staff April 1 as sales and marketing manager. In
that role, he'll oversee ARRL's publication and advertising sales as
well as membership recruitment activities.
"We're pleased to have someone with Dennis's Amateur Radio and
professional experience and international stature to take on this
critical management role," said ARRL Chief Operating Officer Mark
Wilson, K1RO. "We expect that he will be a major asset in helping the
ARRL to meet its goals for the future."
An ARRL Life Member and a Minnesota native, Motschenbacher, 54, has been
licensed since 1962 and is no stranger to the ARRL family. For the past
four years, he has been the editor of National Contest Journal,
published by ARRL. Carl Luetzelschwab, K9LA, is replacing K7BV as NCJ
editor starting with the May/June issue.
Motschenbacher told his NCJ readers in his farewell editorial that he
considers the opportunity to work at ARRL Headquarters a dream come
true. "I feel like a kid who has just been granted his fondest wish," he
said. In addition to serving at the NCJ helm, Motschenbacher has been
actively involved in the fundraising and promotion for World Radiosport
Team Championship 2002 (WRTC 2002) and will be a referee at the event in
Finland this summer. In WRTC 2000, he teamed with Ralph Bellas, K9ZO, at
S566Z in Slovenia. He's also operated from various exotic locales.
Moving to the East Coast from Nevada, he says, will rejuvenate Amateur
Radio for him. He and his wife Lieska have arranged to purchase a house
in Eastern Connecticut that has a convenient hill on the property, and
he's already got a permit from the town to erect an 80-foot tower. Four
towers and associated antennas are being transported from Nevada as
well. Motschenbacher says he's never operated from the East Coast--with
the sole exception of the CY9AA DXpedition--and he's eager to experience
propagation from his new location. One down side, he noted, is that
Nevada is a lot more rare as an ARRL section multiplier than
Connecticut.
On the professional side, Motschenbacher brings 30 years of sales,
marketing and business experience to ARRL HQ, primarily in the fire
protection and safety business. Most recently he was president and co
owner of ESG Inc of Reno, which specializes in fire protection systems
for the telecommunications industry worldwide. He says he's eager to put
his sales acumen and entrepreneurial spirit to work on behalf of the
ARRL and Amateur Radio. "I view it as a very strong personal
responsibility to help see Amateur Radio into the future," he said.

-----Or The power switch recently failed. This a little el-cheapo lighted
rocker switch made by Carling and probably other manufacturers. I called
Ameritron and talked to a tech support type. He stated he would mail me a new
switch, but I would have to pay the $7.00 minimum plus UPS charges. He said
the switch was less than 2 bux. What the heck I wanted to get back on the air.
A week later UPS delivers a plain jane rocker switch, no light. This cost me
just under $10.00 with the UPS fee. Called the tech support person back and he
said no mistake, that is what they use now, probably because they could not
get the lighted one anymore. I said something like, "unbelievable" and hung
up.
A good source for switches is : Wes-Garde Components. They have locations
all over USA.

The WPX has a 10 minute band change rule for Mutli-One. How is the
ten minute period determined?
1. Is it based on 6 different 10 minute periods in the hour (i.e.
minute 0..9, 10..19, 20..29, etc)
2. is it based on a any contiguous 10 minutes.
If the RUN station is currently working on 20m and makes a series of
contacts while the MULTIPLIER station is working on 40m, when can
the RUN station switch to 15m?
For example, if the last contact of the RUN station was at 8:30 on
20m and the last contact of the MULTIPLIER station was at 8:35, when
could the RUN station switch to 15m - at 8:40 or 8:45?

How would an op know to claim qrp points for a qso?
A few folks on this list have been very vocal about QRP.

I have recently had some good experiences with the Ameritron customer
support group.
A couple of months ago I bought a second Ameritron AL1500 amplifier. After
installing the tube and power transformer (packaged separately), it came up
and worked fine. However I noticed one oddity about the new amplifier. On
40, 80, and 160 meters the loading control would be at zero (maximum
capacity for the loading capacitor). My older AL1500 used less capacity for
loading on the three low bands but it was close to the same settings for
10, 15, and 20 meters.
I called the Ameritron Customer Support and described my problem to them
and they said that the newer AL1500 models switched in less loading
capacity then the older models. However, the load control should not end up
at zero for the three low bands in spite of that and the newer AL1500
manual agreed with what they said. The amplifier was certainly usable but I
wasn't happy with what I perceived as not enough plate loading capacity as
normal.
The customer support guy walked me through some checks with my capacity
meter to see if any of the fixed caps were bad. But we just couldn't find
anything wrong. After what I thought was a reasonable effort on my part to
isolate the problem I finally said, "I think you should just send me a new
RF deck". They agreed to do this without any argument whatsoever. A few
days later the new RF deck arrived and it worked according to the
specifications in the AL1500 manual. Ameritron also sent me a UPS sticker
for me to return the old RF deck at no cost to me. I see this as good
customer service.
Another Ameritron story:
Soon after replacing my AL1500 a friend brought over an AL1200 that had a
problem. I thought since I had just been digging into my Ameritron amp, I
was on a roll and could help my friend fix his. We found a single bad
capacitor in his power supply bank of 8 capacitors. After determining the
part number of the capacitor, we ordered the part from Ameritron.
However, the part arrived and the new capacitor was physically shorter, had
more capacity, but had the same working voltage. When I called Ameritron
back to ask about it they said, "you must have an older AL1200 because we
can't get those capacitors anymore. We now use the newer capacitors that
are really better anyway."
Since I couldn't use one capacitor that was of different value in the power
supply, I priced seven more capacitors and I priced the entire capacitor
assembly (includes eight capacitors, bleeders, circuit board, and other
components). The entire assemble was actually cheaper then buying seven
more capacitors. When I ordered the capacitor assembly I asked if they
would leave one capacitor off the assembly and credit me for what I paid
for the first capacitor I ordered. They were happy to do this and I was
very satisfied with their help.
The only minor criticism I might have is that it would be helpful for
Ameritron to ask for serial numbers of amplifiers when taking parts orders.
This might allow them to identify part changes in the amplifiers and make
sure their customers get the right parts the first time they call.
Over all, I am extremely satisfied with Ameritron Custom Service.

Gary,
Your answer doesn't explain why a lot of Europeans tend to call *HIGHER*
than zero beat, which was Ward's original observation. The fact that
East Coast stations tend to work a lot of EU does explain why many East
Coasters (as well as others) notice a large number of European off
frequency callers, but it doesn't explain why more Europeans seem to
call higher rather than lower.

We're all pretty much using the same radios but it seems unlikely that they
are pre-configured by the manufacturer to use different offsets based on the
target market. It's not much of a difference - maybe 200 Hz - but I find
myself leaving the RIT "up a little" when EU stations are answering my CQs.
How about it, EU guys? Is the converse true - that you have to listen a

A mild (fairly slow velocity) interplanetary shock was observed passing
the ACE spacecraft near 21:42 UTC (4:42 pm EST) on 29 March. The source is
not clear at the present time, but may be related to a coronal hole based
disturbance. More will be known over the ensuing hours as the
characteristics of this disturbance become better established. In any event,
there is an increased potential for periods of enhanced auroral activity
over the next 24 hours. Middle latitude observers should be alert for
periods of favorable conditions. Odds are against significant middle
latitude observations of activity due to the near-full phase of the moon.

Message-ID: <000a01c1d810$520acb40$16621dc3@default>
Perhaps I am a bit late for the discussion on Italian kilowwats, but I just
couldn't resist it...
Few years ago I travelled to Italy on busisness and paid a visit to a ham whom
I knew for ages from a band. I was kind od surprised to find him in a workshop
where, among other ham stuff, there was something called HF PA, size of a
decent refridgerator, very carefully manufactured and good looking. I
understood it was predicted to deliver 20 kW out (you read it right) and Henry
2K was used as a driver. Bird 43 with 25 kW (right again) probe was used as a
wattmeter. Dummy load was water-cooled. You actually had to tap the water from
the pipelines, hi... If I remember well, the tube was YU134, size larger than
my head...
There was another small amplifier with 3CX6000, some 8 kW out...
Your mouth are watering? Come on, admit it... never thought of using one of
these babies in a contest, ha?
Yes, I have seen these two amplifiers by my own eyes and purpose for writing
this is not to point out Italian hams as the only superpower users. You can
find them in almost every country in the world. Many of those high scores are
results of extreme powers combined with good antennas and operator skills. In
my country I know for at least two amplifiers with 3CX3000 (two, ha ha ha...).
Some S5 guys proudly talked about their big amps. There are also many others to
whome I hav not spoken , but who could say the same.
Thing is, it is hard to compete in any WW contest due to differences in
regulation among countries. In USA it is 1500 W out, in UK 400W, in Italy 300W
etc. If classification would be on country basis, perhaps people would stick to
the rules ( I do not believe this...). Then, what about dxing... Plus, it is
much easier to build a strong linear than plant a high tower and long boom
yagis...
It is very difficult to trace the use of excessive power, strong signal is not
the only relevant pointer. That makes it much easier to use.
Henry 5K? Henry 8K???? Whom were they dedicated to? Power savers? Tube lovers?
Yeah, forgot to tell you that heating transformer for YU134 was some heavy
thing and wires size of my thumb (180A, right?).
Italy is a beautiful country of nice people, nature, art and of course
kilowats. What I mean is - do not press it too hard on Italy, you can find
extra power next door. Trick is how many of No 1 contesters would let you in
their bedrooms? Sorry, shacks... I bet there you could find lot of active
tuners, coaxial cables with positive losses and dipoles with 10dBi gain...
Be better, power is not all.

I notice that on CW when I start hearing a lot of guys calling me offset in
one direction or the other, it is usually because the QRM is heavier on the
other side. I usually operate LSB CW, which means that I am more likely to
get close to another running station that is down in both my carrier
rejection filter notch and near zero beat, where my audio response rolls
off. But when I do that, it tends to lead to stations calling me lower in
frequency, not higher.
Maybe the calling stations are tending to put the QRM in their "carrier
notch", and if they are using USB CW then that would tend to make them call
on a higher frequency? Just wondering out loud.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Unwanted duplicates
Message-ID: <004501c1d894$141403e0$1d1145cf@default>
I was testing my station set ups in the SSB WPX contest and ran into a
potential problem on 40 SSB. This was due to split band operation
required for the Dx to work USA and the unusual band conditions that made
the signals come in from several directions (almost no front to back and
broad signal path). I checked during the day on stations 1000 miles away
and the pattern was still sharp and the beam showed 10 to 15 DB Front to
back. I find that this condition always seems to occur when a magnetic
storm is brewing.
The DX stations were having a hard time deciding who was working who! I
usually stuck in the call of the station first so to cut down any confusion
but two stations who I had not worked said Worked B4 one of whom was D44TD.
If I had been serious this could have been points taken off at both ends for
NIL which usually means penalties. Besides stepping on any number of
existing QSOs (domestic USA) this is a problem with split operation.
I also noted that the was some attempts at jamming by the run over domestic
stations (such as putting SSTV signals on a Dx listening frequency). This
was mostly a waste of time as Contesters usually had much stronger signals
than the domestic rag chewers but I wonder if the FCC telephones were
ringing with interference reports. The other problem I noted was the vast
number of Dx stations below 7040. Several were as low as 7025 working the
SSB contest. This is one time when Digital and CW are QRMed out between
7045 and 7100. Boy the 2003 WRC Conference can't come fast enough if we can
get a 300 khz world wide ham band.

Classic 33 is a good antenna 3 elements on 18 Foot boom,
unlike some of the other Mosleys
the spacing is Director to Driven element 10 Feet
DE to Reflector is 8 Feet.
the Radiator is the longest element when set for CW.

it doesn't matter at all, not one tiny bit, if we like to use different
receive tones.
As long as the transmitter is properly netted to the receiver in
EACH station, they will be on the same frequency when transceive
no matter what pitch each station operator uses.
The only problem is some radios don't net the transmitter to the
receiver, or the user changes pitch by fiddling with passband tuning
without getting inside the radio to change the carrier oscillator
offset to match.
The FT1000 has a set of switches for offset, so when you set the
switches to 500Hz (or whatever) for your favorite tone the
transmitter comes out right spot on.
My old 751A's have an internal adjustment.
Ten Tec radios are particularly bad about this, because if you buy a
"low pitch" CW filter the transmitter offset remains fixed for the
higher frequency CW tone design.

Wow. This cq-contest club is almost as great as the Boring Amateur Radio
Club (but not quite). I asked an antenna question and got a whole bunch of
answers.
Some said the Driven Element was closer to the Director, some said is was
closer to the Reflector. Some said the Classic was the same as a TA-33.
Others said it was not.
Anyways, Tom Tormina, always a very productive resource, faxed me the manual
(although he was not the ONLY person to offer to do so). I now have the
answer. But I got to thinking about Tom and realized he was one of those
operators with Italian surnames who won the SS in the 70s and got cited
statistically for his efforts. Then I remembered that all Italian run big
power, and then it all began to make sense.
:) JUST KIDDING. Happy Easter everybody, and thanks for responding to my
question. Now I can minimize the back-to-front ratio of this old antenna
BEFORE I put it up.

I don't recall the call offhand now, but there was a DX station Friday night
operating on 14.348.5. I called him from 14.346.9 -- I double checked
this -- used the RIT to zero beat him. If I get another Popkin-gram, then
I'll know he's listening to the stations the DX is calling, not to the
carrier frequency I'm generating. 'nuff said.

Hi Ward,
It is the first time I hear about this offset, usually everybody is
tuning and listening on zerobeat. ( at least here in europe...)
Then transmit- and receivefrequency is the same on any transceiver.
Probably you like to hear the higher pitched audio, in that case probably
an audio-filter / equalizer is helpful for you

They're most certainly PCB-mounted, but that should only stop the most
dedicated QCAO types.
DIN = German Institute for Standardization, but looking any further requires
Euros & I've only got pounds in me pocket.
Some of these funky "DIN plugs" may be covered under the standard, but
I suggest they are used deliberately to force the user to buy these somewhat
hard to find connectors from the equipment manufacturer.
They certainly aren't to be found in component stores here. But then again,
neither are metric threaded M-plugs (aka UHF). Perhaps they're common in
Akihabara, in which case they belong on the domestic versions of the
radios & not the ones sold to the rest of us.
A more permanent alternative to toothpicks is to take the one funky plug
supplied with the radio & making a short cable (a few cm long) from it
terminating into a more common connector.

The ARRL is pleased to announce the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet - to be
published every other week by the ARRL! It's intended to be a useful source
of timely information for both the active and casual contester. The Rate
Sheet will include information about events during the following two-week
period and time-sensitive news items.
The first issue will be published March 13. ARRL Members may subscribe to
the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet by going to the Member Data Page at:
http://www.arrl.org/members-only/memdata.html?modify=1
Note that you must be logged in to the site to access this page. Scroll down
to the section "Which of the following would you like to receive
automatically via email from ARRL?" Check the box for "ARRL Contest Rate
Sheet (biweekly contest newsletter)" and you're all set.
We're going to start with a simple format. To keep the newsletter light and

****************************************************************************
Here's the overall format and a sample of typical items...
Each issue will begin with a Summary followed by critical bulletin-level
items, such as FCC communications emergencies, short-notice rule changes,
and so forth.
Announcements and Notices for the two-week period being covered will come
next. This will include notices of what contests are running the coming
weekends with Contest Corral text (including web links) and pending log
submission deadlines.
News for this issue follows the announcements section and will include
newsworthy items received during the preceding two weeks. Look for news
reports from the ARRL Contest Desk, announcements of results availability,
changes in contest data bases, software releases, and other news from
contributors.
Technical and Technique items will be included as they are available. I'll
try to include a Contest Tip or very short technical/technique item in each
issue.
Conversational pieces will be included if they're of general interest, such
as limited press releases about contests, products, conventions, or
contesters. And I'll to slip in a humorous aside now and then, such as the
occasional limerick.
The following are samples of the type of information that will be included
in the Rate Sheet:
Announcement - Virginia QSO Party, Phone and CW, sponsored by the Sterling
Park ARC 1800Z, Mar 16 - 0200Z, Mar 18. Frequencies: CW - 1.805 and 50 kHz
up; Phone -1.845 3.860 7.260 14.270 21.370 28.370 kHz; Novice/Tech -- 10 kHz
up and 28.370; VHF/UHF - 50.125 144.200, 146.58, 223.50 446.00 MHz. No
repeater or cross-mode QSOs. SO, MS, MM fixed station and mobile
categories, no time limit, QSOs once per band/mode/VA QTH, VA stations work
everyone, others work VA stations only. Exchange: serial number and SPC or
VA county/city. QSO Points: Phone - 1pt, CW - 2 pts, Mobile - 3 pts.
Multipliers - VA city/counties + SPC. Score: QSO Points x Multipliers
(counted only once). VA mobiles add 100 pts per VA city/county activated.
Add 500 pts for QSO with K4NVA. For more information -
www.qsl.net/sterling. Logs must be emailed or postmarked by Apr 15 to
ks4ii@arrl.net or Virginia QSO Party, Call Box 599, Sterling, VA 20167.
Notice - Log Deadline: New Hampshire QSO Party - March 31 - arrl@nhradio.org
or NH-ARRL, POB 119 Goffstown, NH 03045-0119.
News from the ARRL Contest Desk - The list of Logs Received for the 2001
ARRL International EME Competition was posted after the logs were verified
against the server - see www.arrl.org/contests.
Contest Tip - When operating QRP, don't append "/QRP" to your callsign. At
best it slows your contacts and at worst makes it much harder for the
receiving station to copy your call correctly. You're already running low
power, maximize the probability of correct copy by only sending what's
necessary to get through.
Press Release - N6TR released version 6.63 of TR-LOG on 24 February. Zipped
versions were sent to all subscribed users. A corrected version of the
companion log-processing program POST was also sent as POST 6.63a.

McDuff had just worked his Clean Sweep
But he found that the cost was quite steep.
He called for an hour
Running maximum power
And his new amp collapsed in a heap.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] How many boxes in you shack?
Message-ID: <050901c1c15f$04301b40$62f1a118@tampabay.rr.com>
AA4LT wrote some words worth repeating:
"It was never an issue how many boxes you had on your desk, or in your
shack -- and it shouldn't be an issue today."
I wholeheartedly agree...we are testing an entrants ability to manage the
act of making QSOs - if he can do SO2R like the likes of N5TJ or K1TO - then
more power to them...
Contesting is about pitting one set of gray cells against another. Not I
have more boxes than you do therefore I win - trust me K1TO has been kicking
my butt since when we were Generals and I was using an S Line and he had
some Heathkit junk...
Since the gray cells of K1TO are better than those of K4OJ I will just have
to try and compensate with some more boxes on my desk :-), and he still
whups my butt only to tell me his amp was broke and he was running low
power...go figure ----- is that a concrete wall for me to hit my head on?
This idea of one set of finding on superiorly trained set of gray cells is
also the essence of why packet operating is a dilemma to so many operators -
it is others' gray cells contributing to making QSOs...if K1TO can do this
solo by constantly sweeping the bands with the second RX with only his gray
cells versus me having to resort to packet and adding additional set(s) of
gray cells...well, I should not be in the same category as K1TO who is doing
it with his single set of gray cells...but, we already knew that!
(PS: Dan's brain appears to be migrating outward...at least the gray part
does.)
GL in ARRL DX SSB to everybody.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Economics of Contest QSLing
Message-ID: <3.0.5.32.20020302085033.00aba270@pop.abs.adelphia.net>
This is an update and elaboration on information previously provided by
AD1C. I hope it's useful.
$3.20 will send a pound of QSLs by surface mail to most countries in
Europe. The rate to Japan is $4.05. This means that if you have anything
over about 6 ounces of QSLs going to any single bureau, it is more
economical to forward your QSLs directly, rather than going through the
ARRL outgoing bureau, at $8.00 a pound plus domestic postage.
The savings can be worthwhile. I just sent 26 packages of QSLs to various
bureaus (the DL bureau got 3) for a total cost of $84. They weighed a
total of 19 lb, which would have cost $152 plus $7 postage through the
outgoing bureau. I still had 8 pounds to go via the ARRL, for $64 plus $5
postage, or a total of $69.00.
I had my QSLs printed locally at a cost of $95 for 4000 cards, and printed
the QSL data (5800 QSOs) directly on the cards with DX4WIN.
I think I've squeezed the costs pretty hard. Even so, and not putting any
value on my time (this is a hobby, right?), or on inkjet printer ink, I
figure the total cost of QSLing this batch at $248, or 4.3 cents per QSO.
Is it any wonder that I'm really looking forward to the advent of ARRL's
Logbook of the World?

I have a chance to buy a mint Alpha 91B amplifier with nearly no hours
use for a good price. Having sold an Alpha 76CA recently I would
like to replace it. Anyone out there have any serious negative
comments about the 91B? It does come with the extended warranty.
Thanks

So add him to your country.dat file (or whatever your
logging software calls it) and recompile it, already, it
will make you happy, happy. I did during the contest, (mine
was a very part time effort). :-( The log checking
software will score it correctly, anyway.
Hope you made more Q's than I did. Had to work both days,
with Sunday being 14.5 hours, (live TV telethon).

I fixed it for TR log but my question is more basic.
How would a casual contestor (who may use contest/logging software) know
that TO4T is FG not FM or something else if it's not in the latest country
file and not separated in the DXCC booklet listing international call sign
allocations? Would TO4T really need to announce his location after every
QSO or so?!? I am on several email lists but several new contestors are
likely not to be. This is not just a rhetorical question---we have some
new contestors in the area.

Contest Station Database - http://www.pvrc.org
Note: With the recent changeover to Mailman and new changes at
the Web submission page, we have had some hiccup's. Yes, I
know the EA8ZS score was incomplete and I have asked for
an update from the database. If you see any other
weirdness, please let me know. Also, submissions not made
through the Web submission page may be delayed if you do
not subscribe to 3830 as the approval process is more of
a batch mode process now rather than individual emails.
Your patience is appreciated. 73 dink

Yep, sure did notice that. Especially after it placed "///////" in the Mult
column after I entered the QSOs. (Am using NA here).
Let's see if one of the computer guys here comes up with a "fix". The only
way I could get it to "count" was to enter the callsign as TO4T/FG and if I
were to turn the logs in like that it may cost me 3 QSOs and 3 Mults since
that is not really the callsign he was signing! Ugly for anyone, and uglier
for a small score like mine!
I did take a look at the Master Callsign Database, but am not sure I want to
modify it on my own without some instruction. Seems confusing. 73

My name is Ted, callsign S51TA , age 23, active ham. I was never
disqualified or non-classificated in any of the contests except in case of
SCC-Slovenia Contest Club, in which committee can do whatever they want.
First some preface;
As a very active and young contester I was also very active in SCC-Slovenia
Contest Club and because of that, I quickly (1st) became member of
supervising committee of SCC and after a year I became a president of
supervising committee of SCC at age 19. Two presidents of this committee
make resignation before me, University professor s50k, and well-known s5
politician s50o because of strange things were happening mostly with money
transfers! (Nobody want to have dirty hands with that-ham radio is a hobby).
But I was only 19 (and happy to be among the top s5 ops) and started to work
as a president of the supervising committee! After a year they wanted me to
sign the papers as they prepared them but I doubted in such behaviour and
said "wait a second guys, I am not prepared to do things like this".( I am
young, raised in democracy, and with plans for a "clean" future.
After that they deposed me without my knowledge, and started to make things
difficult to me in every single way! Everything started few weeks before
WRTC2000, from which they wanted to depose me again but they could not,
because I came with a lawyer on hearings.
There is a much longer and juicy story behind this but that is not the
reason I am writing you today. For futher information and to ease making
final judgement maybe contact some hams from YU, Z3, LY, OH or non SCC
members!
In the year 2000 I was claimed 1st in EUHFC in LP Mixed category, but was
removed from classification list with no good reason, but with a bad
explanation, that contest committee did not get what they wanted/requested.
The winning person was of course S50A, the president of SCC.(They wanted
restart.bin from TR).
We were having big verbal fights about that. S56A contacted Tree, N6TR and
they proved to SCC that is possible that TR software gave out double serial
number, which happened to me, as it was the reason for non classification.
Last year (2001) I send the log, and again some problems..they wanted me to
send them a certificate from cabrillo that I was making contest within the
limitations. Only s56a and me were ordered to send this!
And here the scores are, they ranged me #4 and in final comments they wrote;
"The Sanctioning Committee discussed also the case of unsportsmanlike
conduct of S51TA and this operator is excluded from future contests
organized by Slovenia Contest Club."
I believe such committee cannot decide on and do sanctions like this. I"ve
send a letter in which I wanted an explanation, but till today nothing
happened!
I am asking you contesters if such thing ever happened to you?
I believe I am the 1st on planet Earth, ever treated in such way, with no
reason, only because I told to everyone about their business and trades in
S5 and because I was loyal to myself and I was only telling the truth and
nothing but the truth.
If the SCC would be a real ham radio club for connecting ham radio
operators the number of contesters which donate points would raise or stay
the same, but lately, a big percentage of hams do not donate points to SCC
anymore!
Sorry for bothering you with such things, but I believe it is important for
me and some others to talk freely about the things happening around, It is
our hobby isn"t it? And I do want that this hobby will also be "clean" in
the future!
Maybe some non-democratic leaders will wake up!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] New Club Area Definition
Message-ID: <3.0.5.32.20020304073243.00aa5100@pop.abs.adelphia.net>
I'be been surprised by how little (like no) comment there has been on the
changes to the club competition rules. Most of them are all to the good,
but I'm perplexed by the change in the club area. The new rule, to go into
effect this coming November, says that, "Medium and unlimited clubs now may
define their club service area either as a 175-mile radius circle or as an
entire ARRL section. This change will allow clubs from larger states than
encompass entire ARRL sections to compete with each other. Clubs may select
one definition or the other but not both."
It seems to me that this change will have little, if any, practical effect.
In the densely populated areas, ARRL sections are smaller than the
175-mile circle, while out in the center of the country, clubs are drawing
their circles to encompass as many population centers as possible.
Sections typically are identical to states, and in many cases --up and down
the Mississippi/Missouri, for example -- population clusters tend to occur
in different states separated by rivers.
Do any of the contest clubs out in the Black Hole see any advantage to the
new rule? Meanwhile, in Florida, where Florida Contest Group's plight did
a lot to raise the issue in the first place, the new rule brings no relief
at all.

I presume the ZF2MM group did well this weekend.
They certainly had enough advertisement posts sent to the cluster out there
for QSO solicitations.
Never did get the name of their pet goats, however.

The answer is that they should just log it correctly and figure out what it
is later.
Discussions like this always occur and reveals these "mysteries" right after
the contest.

Off the top of my head, the only ones I can see being helped, are the
good folks of Tennessee, since their 175-mile circle doesn't cover the
whole state ... but of course, the section definition would solve that
problem for them nicely.

Yes, we in Florida are painfully aware of this situation. A good
portion of our 175-mile circle covers water ... no matter where we put
it! With 3 ARRL sections in Florida, that doesn't help either ... we
have members in all three sections. I proposed something using Grid
Squares, but that didn't fly either.
If anyone can come up with a workable solution for EVERYONE ... I'm sure
we can arrange for you to become an "honorary Chad"!

Just LU/Argentina. The /H refers to the district, only /Z would potentially be
interesting (one of the VP8-equivalents). It's hard to get these right, but
Cabrillo won't care.

This is a non-issue with Cabrillo, since mults are not counted, and I think
we can count on the log checkers to know who and where TO4T is.

Hello Contesters,
here is a little list with signals strengths as written down last
weekend.
Rig was a TS870 and a ground mounted trap vertical (Fritzel GPA40).
QTH nr Munich/Germany.
Some remarks:
This year, there wasn't the usual big advantage of the New England Area.
Also stations from other parts of W/VE were strong.
Often signals strengths from the west coast follow this rule:
CA > OR > WA > VE7. This year that wasn't true, K7RI W7WA NK7U
had BIG signals on 15m. K9JF was very strong on 10m.
K9NS (every band) and K0DU (20m) were in line with the big guys from the
East. N6RO
strong as usual. W4ZV was strongest on 10m, followed by KR1G. W4ZV was
really
massive. There were also some good signals from the South, like N5YA and
KR5V.
In general, most of the stations were close together in strength.
15m was open at 3h in the morning local time. I could still hear some of
the
W7's calling CQ...
If you think your signal is not listed where it should be...
1. I worked a few guys who were obviously beaming elsewhere, because I
could hear
them working more UA0, YB etc.. than other Europeans.
2. I listened a few times to DL6RAI running stations. Those he worked
were between
S3 and S5 on average here. So if you are at S8: That's loud!

The important thing to remember about TO4T (and any others), is that you
don't have to know at the time that he's in Guadeloupe to get credit for the
multiplier. All electronic logs are re-run and scored against a common,
up-to-date country file, so it really doesn't matter how many multipliers
you claim, high or low; the log checkers will give you the right score.
In CT, if you type "TO4T=FG" during the contest the software will recognize
the multiplier correctly, but since the .cty file doesn't get changed I
never bother until after the contest.

We (the Tennessee Contest Group) have also been pushing this. It will
benefit us considerably. The geographic center of the state is
Murfreesboro. (which also happens to be home to a fair bit of contest
activity) Memphis is just about exactly 175 miles from Murfreesboro - as is
Knoxville. Some Memphis residents were eligible to compete with us, while
others weren't! Likewise in Knoxville. And the excellent ops in the
Tri-Cities area near Kingsport were out altogether, about 70 miles too far
east.
We could manipulate the circle to encompass both Nashville and the
Tri-Cities, but then West Tennessee would be out in the cold. We could move
the circle west to include Memphis, at the expense of tossing out Knoxville
and the Tri-Cities. Neither of these two areas has enough activity to
support a decent contest club of its own.
Switching to the new option will cost us a handful of participants in the
Huntsville, Alabama and southern Kentucky areas. (in ARRL contests - they
are still welcome to participate in CQ and NCJ tests) Still, it's a change
for the better for us.
-------------------------------------------
Florida probably did shoot themselves in the foot by creating WcF. (how do
you "un-create" a section?!) I can see some other sections possibly
benefitting from the change - notably artificially large sections like
Michigan and Ohio. It might also make possible the creation of worthwhile
contest clubs in very sparsely-populated areas of the West. The Wyoming
Contest Group may never be competitive, but at least a would-be contester in
Cody could submit his score for a club.
I can see the possibility of benefit for MWA (Minnesota) as well, though
there aren't a whole lot of contesters in the vicinity of Thief River
Falls<g>.
-------------------------------------------
I might suggest that Black Hole clubs (SMC, MRRC) developed the way they did
*because* of the rule. (and would have developed differently if it didn't
exist) Might all Wisconsin ops have joined a Wisconsin-based club if
Milwaukee and Eau Claire operators (W0AIH) could have participated in the
same group?

callsign indicates? Really, technically, they should have been IDing as
FG/TO4T...
I heard more than one person ask TO4T for their country on the air. That's
probably the right answer. It probably also taught them to use a FG call
next time!

Oven,
After several years of lurking, it would seem that this group is ripe
for an official amateur radio contesting FAQ to be created and maintained..
unless there is already such a beast that I missed. I haven't seen one
mentioned, but the need is apparent.
Speaking of FAQ's, I saw a message a few after this, about software not
liking the LU who was signing /H in his callsign. What does the CQWW
committee recommend on logging the following 'portable' extensions ?? There
was a reference to signing /QRP in this weeks OPDX bulletin.
xx#zzz/p
xx$zzz/qrp
xx$zzz/mm maritime mobile, and if so, do I need a region R# designator too
?
JA#xxx/# is a common one .. perhaps it is still a legal requirement in some
countries ??
as well as others that I can't recall at the moment <grin>. Would also like
to hear the ARRL opinion if it differs materially from CQ's.
btw, I heard a rumor that the LU signing the slash H was activating a rare
region of LU .. perhaps to promote some clubs groups award (?) ... but I
only vaguely recall hearing that implied in a qso he was in before I worked
him .. ! That was so many Q's ago <grin>

Rich, I do not believe that is correct. CT will write the update to the
country file "on the fly". If you find that is NOT the case, please let me

Message-ID:
<20020304184341.YIZA11747.mtiwmhc23.worldnet.att.net@webmail.worldnet.att.net>
I suspect that French licensing officials have
determined that TO4 is a designate call for Guadeloupe.
The same as the FCC has determined the calls that are
appropriate for its territorial (or non-continental
states) entities. The updating of contest software to
keep up with such calls is a continuing process. There
is no need to suggest that this was a rules violation.
I am sure they were signing a call allocated to
Guadeloupe by the French licensing authorities.
Software will now be updated to include TO4 = FG with
the next revision.
It is very easy to take care of this during the contest
if you want your score readout to be correct. It used
to be that in CT you could type TO4 = FG and it would be
correct. I assume you can still do that. NA does not
accept =. What I do under the circumstances is to log
it each time as TO4T/FG and make a note to delete
the "/FG" with a text editor before submitting the
Cabrillo file. If you don't care that the cumulative
score in your computer may be wrong, you need to do
nothing. The Cabrillo file will be scored without
regard to what you think is a new country. As long as
the logcheckers have determined that TO4T = FG, it will
be scored that way without the need of any help from the
contestant.
Experienced contesters, particularly those with
directional antennas, should suspect that stations with
calls like TO4T that are loud and are coming in from the
direction of the Caribbean are actually in the
Caribbean. If your software doesn't recognize it, or
recognizes it only as France, your only alternative is
to ask (which I did on the first QSO).
I imagine that the operators of TO4T wanted a new prefix
more than they wanted instant country recognition.
Continued use of that prefix will bring more recognition.

Why don't we just figure the area of the 175 mile circle (let's see... pi r
squared ==~96000 sq miles), and allow any shaped figure.
My club borders will be 10 miles wide and 9600 miles long. It includes

Merri has a good point. What about rule 6.1? ("6.1. Your call sign must
indicate your DXCC station location (KH6XYZ/W1 in Maine,
KG4/W1INF at
Guantanamo Bay, etc).") What is the official arbiter of what DXCC
entity a
callsign indicates? Really, technically, they should have been IDing as
FG/TO4T...
I heard more than one person ask TO4T for their country on the air.
That's
probably the right answer. It probably also taught them to use a FG call
next time!

Hi Dick,
LU /H is the Argentine state of Cordoba, north central part
of the country. Callsigns in Argentina show the state using
the letter following the number. See page 17-45 in the ARRL
Operating manual for a map and listing.

I hate it when I misspeak. Maybe can be blamed on lack of sleep due to ARRL
DX?
*My QTH* is equidistant from Memphis & Knoxville. The TCG club center in
Murfreesboro isn't - the map and Jay's commetns are accurate.

The casual contester will be pleasantly surprised to find that
their score has been increased rather than decreased as a
result of the UBN log checking process. That is the process
that establishes what is a multiplier and where it gets counted.
The score listed on the cabrillo entry does not mean anything
as, as I understand it, scores are computed in the checking
process.

Well, I'm fairly embarrassed. I wrote my preceding message based on
information I looked up on the USPS web site last week. When I actually
went into the post office today, I found out that all the rates had
increased (presumably March 1). 16 oz or less to Western European
countries is now $3.80, vs $3.20. To Eastern Europe and Russia, it is
$4.95, but Japan remains unchanged at $4.05.
This means that the crossover points at which it makes sense to send
direct, rather than through the ARRL bureau, are considerably higher. For
Western Europe, it is up to around 7-8 ounces, while for Eastern Europe it
is at least 10 ounces. Japan remains unchanged at 8-9 ounces. Sorry if I
misled anyone, but I wasn't expecting a price increase, particularly not
one of this magnitude!
One further refinement. Savings are maximized at a pound per direct
shipment. If you have, for example, 20 ounces to send to one Western
European bureau, your optimum strategy would be to send 16 oz direct and 4
oz via the ARRL, yielding a total cost of $5.80 plus a little domestic
postage. If you split the 20 oz into two direct shipments, you pay $7.60.
When your total to one destination reaches 23-24 oz, it makes sense again
to send both via international mail.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Florida and the new ARRL Club Turf Rule
Message-ID: <02f401c1c407$f562e9c0$62f1a118@tampabay.rr.com>
Probably because you guys simply turn your beams South to work Florida you
do not realize how "tall" Florida is North to South...it is NOT a small
state, when I lived near Miami and drove to the Northeast the hurdle was
getting out of Florida - once you got out at least there were state lines in
the near future! Because we are not recognized as being as big as we are,
comments like this one from W9WI are fairly typical:
"Florida probably did shoot themselves in the foot by creating WcF."
The reason for the creation of the WCF section was due to ARRL officers who
were either North FL based (Jacksonville) or South Florida based (Miami) not
being able to have good communication with the hams in the central part of
the state - it is a four and a half plus hour drive from my QTH near Tampa
to Miami, and that is with a heavy foot!
Tampa, the heart of the WCF section was just too far from SFL for appointed
officials who lived in the Miami area to be able to do it justice...it
needed its own section - just wish you guys would learn it
Whiskey Charlie Fox
West Central Florida
WCF
....its been over two years now guys!
As far as ARRL affiliated club turf...I question whether or not the TCG
realizes that the new rules are "either/or", but not both, the radius or the
section. I know there were a lot of TCG members NOT in Tennessee...if they
adopt the Section version of the new rules then these guys (mostly KY hams I
think) are going to be without a club.
Our situation in Florida is a very unique one since we are a
peninsula...unfortunately since the infamous circle is much wider than the
state is. A large portion of any circle drawn within Florida results in
roughly a third of that area being in either the Atlantic or the Gulf of
Mexico.
This is a shame, especially since there is an active contester population in
the panhandle of Florida....to accommodate these hams our club developed an
FCG Panhandle Club - just for times when we must compete in ARRL events and
their scores are NOT allowed to be grouped with the rest of ours. This is a
shame, within our own state we have like minded hams who cannot compete side
by side with us.
The ARRL's new guidelines with the either/or option for club turf will
probably not cause a big difference for anyone other than the TCG who now
can have all Tennesseeans (but will have to forsake previous contributions
by others out of state who previously were joined with them).
Until someone in Florida can come up with an easy way for the ARRL to
calculate land area for use in club territory definitions I guess we will
just have to get ready for the
FLORIDA QSO PARTY! Its only 54 days away!
Please help Florida contesters get over our disappointment at the club
restructuring dilemna's resolution by working us in the FQP.
Hams from all walks of life, even Dentists, enjoy the FQP. Florida works
the world and you work us on 10 through 40 meters!
Check out the full details at the FQP website - where you can also sign up
for the FQP re-mailer to keep you up to speed on this years FQP April 27/28!
Go to the FQP website at:
http://www.qsl.net/fqp
Stats/Records, etc can be found there...the FQP is a QSO Party run by
contesters, the results are meticulously tabulated by current WRTC 2 time
co-champion K1TO and you are assured of fast paced snappy contest
exchanges...including our mobile teams who will attempt to activate all 67
of Florida's counties once again!
Join us, it is a fun contest! Not a BORING one.

How do you enter a power of 50mW so the log checking software knows what
you mean???
Life's too short for QRP!

AB0MV asked how the casual contester is to know where a TO# call is.
Good question. You can't. They're French. After SECAM & yellow
headlamps, TO4T being in FG is to be expected - northern hemisphere,
southern hemisphere, this ocean & that ocean, I believe this makes the
third TO call I've seen in recent times & I've yet to figure it out.
WFWL & always log what the other station sends & not what you think
your logging program needs to see.

G4ELJ gave me 100 milliwatts but said "001". I told him
I was logging it as "0R1". For any non-CW types, "R" is the
code for decimal point...as in "3R5 MHZ" for 3.5 MHz. So I
would use "R05" for 50 milliwatts. Don't know if this is
totally acceptable but I've used it before with no problems
that I recall.

This has been the summary from ****. Due to my own errors
I keep messing up the data. So far, I've managed to drop
the most significant digit on mults and band data.
I think I've been through every post three times now.
Yuck! Thanks for your patience.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Perhaps I'll be disqualified?
Message-ID: <005701c1c508$6b5494c0$e5a5fea9@dell>
I have a token entry for ARRL DX SSB - just 30 QSOs on 10m.
I didn't call CQ, but called W/VE stations directly and
received 59/State from everyone. My response, for every one
of the 30 QSOs, was "Thanks, one hundred."
No-one queried this or asked for a signal report. They just
kept right on going. Why? Because they're contesters, and
they had all the information they needed.
RS(T) doesn't matter because -
(1) It's already entered as 59(9) by the logging software.
(2) It is not cross-checked.
(3) It has no meaning, significance or value in contests.
(4) It is not needed on QSLs for any ARRL award.
Anyway, I broke the rules and probably gained an unfair
advantage, so perhaps I'll be disqualified?
If not, it's likely you'll not hear 59(9) from me again in
major contests. As some Summary Sheets say - "Unless
otherwise indicated, all reports were 59(9)".

Hi Gang
I would appreciate your comments on the next topic for my Contest Tips,
Tricks & Techniques column. Please reply directly and be sure your call
sign is in your response. Please reply by March 8. Thanks!
Station and operating changes as the sunspots decline
Most predictions for the current sunspot cycle suggested we would be on our
way down, but the double peak has given us a reprieve. We are living on
borrowed time and all too soon we will be on the downward slope. What
station plans do you plan to make to be more in tune to future conditions?
When do you plan to make these changes? What contests will you operate that
you avoided during the sunspot peak? Conversely, what contests will you
stop operating as solar conditions deteriorate? Will you operate fewer
contests in the next few years because of conditions?

Last week, I put my SO2R operating desk planning diagrams on the
web for comment, and inquired for people to send photos of their
SO2R stations.
I found or received 18 station photographs, and have them displayed
on the page for reference, with links to their home pages, if available.
If you know of another photo on the web that people might find
interesting in planning their operating position, send the URL to me,
and I'll add it to the page.

A question for all of us, since I have detected some rumblings about
certain people being spotted more than others etc in the last couple
of contests.
I was doing my normal S&P during the ARRL DX SSB and was asked
by some European DX stations if I had access to the internet -
in order to spot them.
I said no, since I actually don't have the net hooked up to my
ham radio computer...
But I felt it raised an interesting question - if that station is running
unassisted - is that possibly a rules violation in that category?
I assume I wasn't the first or the last person asked to do that.

The page currently displayed if you click the link below is an
week-old, archived copy, which does not include the promised

They are suggesting a one-day or less repair time, so check

It is a rules violation even if they are in a catagory
that allows assistance.
from:
http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/rules-all.html
3.14. In contests where spotting nets are permissible, spotting your
own station or requesting another station to spot you is not
permitted.

Definitely not allowed per ARRL General Rules at:

Good question. You can't. They're French. After SECAM & yellow
headlamps, TO4T being in FG is to be expected - northern hemisphere,
southern hemisphere, this ocean & that ocean, I believe this makes the
third TO call I've seen in recent times & I've yet to figure it out.
WFWL & always log what the other station sends & not what you think
your logging program needs to see.

I was logging it as "0R1". For any non-CW types, "R" is the
code for decimal point...as in "3R5 MHZ" for 3.5 MHz. So I
would use "R05" for 50 milliwatts. Don't know if this is

After having been 'temporarily' QRT for 20 years until a year ago, I
had not kept up with these new innovations in ham radio like
DX-clusters, spotting, logging software w/ electronic keying, etc. Thus
the contesting experience now is quite different from what it used to
be in late 70's...
Until the CQWW CW contest last fall I had not taken an interest in
finding out what clusters did in conection with contesting (I had
understood it was used in 'normal' operation to make fellow hams aware
of interesting DX station activity).
Running 100W with a vertical dipole (Force12 Sigma5 - excellent stuff),
I am basically an S&P contester. However, once and a while on an open
10 meters band it is tempting to act like the 'big shots'; find a free
spot and call CQ contest.
Normally, with some hard work and patience I manage to pull in a few US
callers this way. In one of my few attempts on keeping a frequency
this way in the named CQWW CW contest, I suddenly had a massive wall of
callers - whow - what an experience. I had fun for as long as it
lasted, but it died out after a while. At the time I thought it was
purely due to good luck and a relatively strong signal over there for a
moment in time.
After the contest I started wondering what actually could have caused
this momentary rush to contact me. Aha, maybe clusters could have
something to do with it? I made a 'spot archive lookup' on the
DX-central. And right enough, there was my call listed (by W3LPL I
think it was - thanks by the way) just at the time when I had the
momentary 140 QSO's per hour run.
Enough said; but my point is that it had a tremendous effect on my QSO
rate - from some 30-40/hour in 'S&P mode' to 140/hour in 'spotted
mode'. I just can imagine how stations begging to be spotted can
enhance their score and outperform their competition by egoistic
rudeless active use of sharp elbows.

I was asked by no less than 10 European stations to put them on the cluster

This doesn't go nearly far enough, IMHO. Yes, that's the way the rule is
written today, but I think we need to find a way to tighten up on this
considerably, else our contest games will (have?) degenerate into nothing
but a beauty contest.
Let's look at some possibilities which skate past this wording, but which I
think defy the intent of the rule and cause enormous damage to the integrity
of the game:
"Hey Bill, I'm going for a new record this coming weekend, and I really need
your help. Spot me early and spot me often...drum me up like you've never
done before!"
"OK, club members, let's put this club on the map. I'm going for a record
this weekend, and I need you ALL to spot me early and spot me often."
Get my drift? I'm not saying this has happened, though I'm seriously
wondering. I do think it's legal, per the rules, but I also think this kind
of stuff stinks. In the best of all worlds, cluster systems would die of
their own accord because people would come to understand the damage they are
doing to our hobby and decide they don't need a crutch. Failing that,
though, I do think we need to work toward some kind of system which would
defeat the kinds of attempts to defeat the system I mentioned above. We
could never get all the local clusters to shut down during contests, but
there are just a few key connection points which could be disabled if we all
could come to a consensus on this. Else, as I'm said, we're running a
beauty contest. And I don't think I'm up to competing in that kind of a
game!

Message-ID: <cmb6nufi2p4ckh1.070320021511@designet-jsi>
While not everything was perfect for us during last weekends ARRL DX SSB
Contest, one thing went extremely well. Here's the story...
We were a casual M/2 operation. On Sunday morning, I was operating 10m and W1VE
was on the 15m station. We were running like crazy. Suddenly, there was a power
glitch in the house. The Acom amps turned off. All the digital clocks in the
house were blinking. The refrigerator went through its self-test sequence.
Except for having to restart the Acom amps, the entire contest station -
radios, computers, accessories - stayed on-the-air . We didn't miss a beat.
Why? A few months ago, after some disastrous brushes with lightning, one of the
protective measures I took was to buy a used 2kVA UPS on eBay. The unit powers
EVERY 110vac device in my office/shack. The UPS sustained the power to
everything through the glitch - eliminating what would have been, at a minimum,
a costly 30+ minute recovery process to get all the computers, logs and radios
back on-the-air. And, it could have been a lot worse than that! ["Excuse me,
ZF2MM, we had a little power failure up here. May I please have my frequency
back?" I don't think so.]
Needless to say, I highly recommend a UPS for the well-prepared contester's
shack!

Dear Howie,
Don't worry about the milliwatt. Yes, the logging programs roll it to 1
(for 1 watt). The robot will work it out.
There seems to be confusion regarding the 1000 watt indentifier as well.
Using the common k, kw, 1k, 1000 will all work. As far as the RST it must
be 59 or 599 (no abbreviations).
Hope that answers your question. Thank you for your email.

Hi Dan-
I might as well get the answer on this for next year..
A few qrp'ers gave us their milliwatts. Being an impatient soul, I quickly
logged as 1.
Technically, they should be logged as 0.1, 0.5, whatever.
How would you like us to log these (*&^%*& folks ?

Operator A goes to US multi op station. He works 30 hours and goes home.
Operator A gets on from home and spots multi op station he just left on
packet.
Operator A does this repeatedly on more than one band knowing full well the
spots are being populated to a global packet network.
Anyone besides me have a problem with that?
If so, what penalties, if any, are appropriate?

BTW Looking for room at Crowne Plaza for Dayton...There is something fishy
goin on there too....I don't remember exactly what day it was but I had it
marked on the calendar to call and get reservations at 8am. I called at 8:15
and was told they were sold out..............Someone is taking payoffs
somewhere to book earlier than announced. Will share expenses with non

No. Not at all. When you are at home, you are no longer a part of the multi
operation. If you were still at the station & doing this, it is indeed
unethical.
But, then again, how do you control this? Can't.
As far as announcing operations in advance. What is the problem? Should it be
a secret? Nah. Should a station ask to be spotted, and often? Well, dunno.
Not really. But, again, how is it regulated? But, then again, why not?? As
long as it is PRIOR to the contest & not during it.
my 2 cents,

Remember, the Wisconsin QSO party is this weekend.
Dates: Sun 10 Mar 1800Z until Mon 11 Mar 0100Z. That's right 7 hours.
Bands: All CW and SSB
Get on and make some QSOs. DX stations welcome. There will be lots of
mobiles and most if not all counties will be active. Fill in those elusive
counties for your Worked all County award.
Full rules and forms at www.warac.org.
Sponsor is the West Allis Amateur Radio Club.
I have nothing to do with organizing this, just getting out the word.

My old packet machine quit. Am trying to get my DRSI board going in a new

Is there anyone out there who still has a copy of the software for a PCPA 1
DRSI board.
If so I will pay you for mailing me a small floppy or can download it off
the net or whatever.
Not sure if this the place to ask or not but thought it was worth try.
Tnx for any help.

do a search as well....because...
I just ran a search on the DX-SUMMIT spot database and
found something very interesting as well....a spot from the
contest under MY call - looking like I posted YP3A -
the problem is, I didn't spot anyone during the contest,
because I'm not connected to the net at my ham computer.
NS3T 21246.5 YP3A YO2010 02 Mar 2002
That means "someone else" spotted YP3A - trying to
make it look like I did...probably trying to attract
some attention and extra QSO's.
I certainly can't prove that it was someone at YP3A, but
someone faked a spot by me - unethical and obviously
rather illegal.
That is unfortunate. I am sure it happened to others.

Hi George:
I didn't want to let this go by without comment. As one of the 40 meter
operators at W3LPL for the ARRL DX SSB contest, I made some of the spots
that you have listed.
Workload permitting, I will spot EVERY G3, DL5, ZF2, JA, etc., that I find
tuning the band. I certainly made no special effort to spot (or not to
spot) ZF2MM. Just another dupe! :-)

========================>
I have always tried to use mimicry and parrot repeats with an attempt to
show others how ridiculous they might actually be, in and on many platforms
of life.
As but example, I also posted for ZF2MM in the ARRL SSB test..... but look
at what my note was in that post.............. I was trying to arouse (
land to see how stupid their posts were becoming.
Those repeated 9 land posts for ZF2MM were more like a Jerry Lewis telethon
money begs than meaningful contributions to the performance of their fellow
contesters.
I, for one, resent being herded to a QSO like a fish to a net.
I like to think I herd more like a cat.
I have always used quotations and acts of blatantly dumb mimicry in the
hope that I might appear or sound so foolish as to bring others within reason.
IF I POST MYSELF IN A CONTEST ............ I WANT OTHERS TO SEE IT.
I WANT IT NOT LIKED.
I WANT OTHERS TO REALIZE IT IS WRONG AND STUPID.
And in consideration of same ,,,,,,,,,,,,, I do not send in my score on
contests where I do such acts.
For the 160 contest, and for ARRL SSB, my logs will ONLY serve as check logs.
I will always hope that others laughing with me (even "at" me if that is
what it takes) might arouse others to a deeper questioning of themselves
and their actions.
BTW, so as to better support your understanding of what I sometimes do.....
Have you ever heard 160 down here at 2100 ZULU ???
About the only thing I could have done to attempt to be more ridiculous
would have been to post myself at high noon.
As I recall, I posted myself as being on 160 during the ARRL SSB test, as well.
I believe I did my self post around noon time Texas time. Duh !?
You know, Ham radio and contesting IS JUST A HOBBY !
IT IS CERTAINLY TO BE ENJOYED.
Radio and contesting is certainly NOT to be a platform for cheating others
of their enjoyment.
Fine performances results in contests should be performance of high
standard, not necessarily performances of high scores.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Buying a UPS [Was: An ounce of prevention...]
Message-ID: <puxs341m0act3nz.080320020911@designet-jsi>
Since so many people have responded privately with questions, I thought I would
share some additional information with everyone.
How much capacity do I need in my UPS?
You need to know how much power will be drawn when the unit kickc in and the
length of time you want the mains voltage to be available to the equipment. APC
provides a calculator to help you figure this out
[http://www.apc.com/template/size/apc/].
What else should I look for in UPS features?
The only other thing that's nice is the "unattended server shutdown" feature.
This is a piece of software on your computer that connects to the UPS over a
serial port, and detects when the UPS has gone active. It then gracefully shuts
down the computer. Some UPSs and their software can handle multiple computers.
This is great if you are away from the shack when the power fails.
What companies sell these things?
APC www.apc.com
Tripplite
How much should I pay for a UPS?
As much as you want. You can buy low-power units at Wallmart or Costco or BJ's
for under $100. I bought a used commercial unit APC Smart UPS 2200 RM3U on ebay
[www.ebay.com] for $600. This unit is a 2200VA rack-mount system. You can pay a
lot more for more power. There are all kinds of deals on ebay. Enter "APC UPS"
in the search engine. The only thing you need to watch out for is whether the
batteries are dead. All you can do on ebay is ask specifically and trust the
seller. On the other hand, there is a strong secondary market for good
batteries. This is because some safety regulations actually require scheduled
battery replacement - whether the batteries are good or bad.
That's about all I know!

RE: An ounce of prevention...
While not everything was perfect for us during last weekends ARRL DX SSB
Contest, one thing went extremely well. Here's the story...
We were a casual M/2 operation. On Sunday morning, I was operating 10m and W1VE
was on the 15m station. We were running like crazy. Suddenly, there was a power
glitch in the house. The Acom amps turned off. All the digital clocks in the
house were blinking. The refrigerator went through its self-test sequence.
Except for having to restart the Acom amps, the entire contest station -
radios, computers, accessories - stayed on-the-air . We didn't miss a beat.
Why? A few months ago, after some disastrous brushes with lightning, one of the
protective measures I took was to buy a used 2kVA UPS on eBay. The unit powers
EVERY 110vac device in my office/shack. The UPS sustained the power to
everything through the glitch - eliminating what would have been, at a minimum,
a costly 30+ minute recovery process to get all the computers, logs and radios
back on-the-air. And, it could have been a lot worse than that! ["Excuse me,
ZF2MM, we had a little power failure up here. May I please have my frequency
back?" I don't think so.]
Needless to say, I highly recommend a UPS for the well-prepared contester's
shack!

I don't know if that's a violation of the letter of the rules, but certainly
it's a violation of the spirit, as in "good operating practice." If it's
real persistant, then it may need to be addressed.
On the same line, I had a bunch of EU station (and not neccesarily "rare"
ones) ask me to spot them during the contest. In each case, I declined and
asked them if that wasn't a rules violation. A few said "sorry," a few said
"I don't know, I didn't read the rules" and just about all asked the next
station or asked me again on another band. (And it is a rules infraction, I
checked).

Operator A goes to US multi op station. He works 30 hours and goes home.
Operator A gets on from home and spots multi op station he just left on

Operator A does this repeatedly on more than one band knowing full well the
spots are being populated to a global packet network.
Anyone besides me have a problem with that?
If so, what penalties, if any, are appropriate?

In amongst today's mail was my first "QSL" from the ARRL DX Phone -- an OO

stay below 14.347 (which I thought I had). Even more interesting, the
entire form and most of the information EXCEPT for my call, the DX call, &
the time of the infraction was filled out in advance and photocopied.
My point here is not per se to berate the OO. My point is that we must all
watch the band edges in contests, as there are obviously people prepared,
eager, and ready with the OO forms. Maybe just a little too prepared to my

Of course, what *may* have happened is that the

Working split on 40, I blasted a local QSO (no, I didn't listen first!! No

When they announced on the DX freq (below 7100 on SSB) what I had just done,
I apologized an left.

Hmmmm. So let me get this right. You are now supposed to keep all future
operations in a contest secret?
You can't tell your fellow club members to get on & make a Q with you, prior to
the event?? C'mon guys, get real!
I find it VERY refreshing that a CONTEST club rallies around a fellow member
that is CONTESTING! You know what? If you take away a certain N9 station's
spots for ZF2MM, whats the problem? Are we now limited to spotting only weak
stations? Or rare stations? Or stations not spotted yet?
Sounds like sour grapes a little bit! I wasn't asked to spot ZF2MM, by ZF2MM,
DURING the contest. I heard him on. I spotted him. Am I bad guy for doing
this????? NOT!

I agree that the list provided by K5TR ( see
http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/cq-contest/2002-March/046632.html )
was extreme and some people were aggressive in spotting ZF2MM. But didn't
everyone in the contest benefit from Paul's marketing before the contest,
and from the spots? Consider the following:
Maybe a VY0, who had no intention of getting on, got on because Paul asked
him to. Maybe the VY0 worked a few other stations as well. Aren't those
DX stations glad Paul did some pre-contest marketing? Maybe a DX station
saw spots for the VY0, needed it for a new prefix, and decided to stick
around and work a few more US/VE stations. Maybe it was a new multiplier
for you, and the only one you worked in the contest. Aren't you glad Paul
did some pre-contest marketing?
I know that's a lot of "maybe's", but who knows how this would have all
worked out. Maybe the VY0 and the DX station would have been on anyway.
It seems like every month this reflector is fraught with complaints about
how contest ranks are dwindling and we need more activity. Last month the
"topic-du-jour" was the ARRL contemplating removal of contest scores from
QST. Doesn't Paul's pre-contest marketing help promote the ARRL DX
contest, and contesting in general? Maybe if there were more people
participating in the ARRL contests, looking for their call in print, the
ARRL would continue publishing scores in QST? Some people complain that we
need more activity, some people complain when we promote contesting, some
people just like to complain, some people complain because they have
nothing to complain about.
I don't know if there was a VY0 on last weekend or not. I didn't check
DX-Summit. I just made that up.

There is something that hasn't been addressed. Be sure
that the UPS is always in the circuit, not one that gets
switched in when AC mains fail. That would be OK for
lights, but not computers. Working in TV (2 stations)
corporate and local management do not want any failures, we
are putting a bunch of smaller ones in to cover us while we
plan the one that will be housed in a separate building to
power our whole tech center and all the computer network
servers. Somewhere around 500 kVA to 750 kVA. All have to
be series type.

Ooops, forgot to mention, that the big UPS is only to cover
a reasonable amount of time until the generators are up

Pre-contest publicity is allowable. Friends aggressively spotting a
station during the contest is an entirely different matter. Any evidence
ZF2MM requested this, no. Should this be encouraged, no.
Paul, K9PG, is a great operator. He doesn't need this "help" from the
peanut gallery.
What if many members of a large club decide that since one of them is
going to be in CQWW and wants to win for the World , then the members
will get on and work that station. No problem.
However, what if there is an agreement that all the members will spot
that station during the contest?
Does it not create a beast called single operator assisted ?

I think this is pretty much the design standard, at least for small
self-contained UPSes.
There are some amazing deals out there from time to time -- I got a new 300
VA APC UPS for $10 from Staples after a mail-in rebate. It's not enough to
power everything computer related in the shack, but it supports my CPU
quite nicely. Since installing it, I've never had an outage of more than
about 2 seconds, but I've had hundreds of the little glitches and dips that
would have caused my computer to reset otherwise. It's very pleasing to
hear the UPS beeeeep and know that I've just dodged another bullet,
especially in the middle of a good run.

Italians are loud in the U.S. not because they use excessive power, but they
have good antennas with big rotors. (that is why they need 3 phase power for
the shack. I am in the process to order one of the better Italian antennas

Version 4.11 of Wintelnetx is now available from my web site. This adds
a couple features requested to allow for larger fonts for those running
high resolution monitors or needing extra size for readability. It will
now also restore the saved window configuration so it should always
start up with the window(s) you want to see. It also makes some changes
to the tnc control that should allow use of tnc's like the kpc9612 that
have 2 ports. You can also now control weather the user gets
disconnected from the tnc when he disconnects from they node (so 'bye'
will really disconnect the tnc after the node disconnects).

I didn't turn the radio on till Paul was spotted offering "FREE BEER".
These sour grapers are not real contesters anyway.
If you want to be a real contester and not a wantabee, come up to
the hospitality suite in Dayton hosted by the "Sultans of Swig".
You haven't had a beer till you had one with Paul and the rest

Maybe I'm missing something guys & gals but if you're turned off by
packet, why do you use it during a contest? I see this thread time after
time yet, some people continue to use packet and complain about how bad it
is.
Contesting for most of us is about having a good time. If packet is
diminishing your enjoyment or it's pushing you to the point of mocking
others who use it, you might want to consider turning it off for a change.

This is a good question and I do know the answer.
My gut feeling is that any marketing done is usually done
with the intention to help the person doing the marketing.
I was prompted to post the list of ZF2MM packet spots after
Bruce (ZF2NT) posted this message to CQ Contest:
http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/2002-March/046626.html
I found this message very interesting for two reasons.
1. I agree with his concerns.
2. ZF2MM was operating from ZF2NT's station.
Bruce brings up what I think are very valid concerns and
he goes on to give some examples. If you have not read his
post please do so now.
The point that Bruce brings up is, do we want contests to
be about operating or do we want them to be about
(as VE3FU calls it) marketing?
I have gotten some email since I posted the list of packet
spots. A few people say "DQ ZF2MM", some say big deal
he got some friends to spot him and others are upset because
their call is on the list.
I do not think that ZF2MM should be DQed.
I do think we (the contesting community) should discuss
how we feel about the "marketing" of contests. This was
not the first time and I am sure it will not be the last time
that someone feels the need to do this in order to make a
good score in a contest.
I am not sure that the increased packet spots helped ZF2MM's
score much (I could be wrong) and it is possilbe that they
might have even hurt it by turing some folks off to working him.
The real issue goes beyond the ZF2MM effort and it is
what Bruce talks about in his message, do we want
contesting to come down to some sort of "beauty contest"?
My answer to this is, No.
The contest should be about operating during the contest.
It should *not* be about:
- How many skeds you can make with mults before the contest.
- How many emails you can send to folks.
- How many times you get spotted on packet.
- How many unique "buddy" contacts you can make.
- How many T-shirts you can send to folks.
- How many banner ads you can buy on some web site.
Do we want the contest to be defined or have the outcome
altered by any of the above?
I know that I don't.
I operate contests because I find them fun. I enjoy the challenge
provided by the bands, from within myself and from fellow contesters.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Spotting
Message-ID: <3C8A1C6D.68E8@erols.com>
IMHO,
Spotting/announcing done outside the actual 'contest period' seems like it
would not
fall afoul of the rules in any context or intent, but could be construed as a
bother or
a bit 'much' based on the quantity and type of 'spot' provided. Too much of a
good
thing is not good! HI!
I don't think anyone will argue that repetitive spotting during a contest
period is a
bad thing, especially if different stations do it at random (unscheduled or
unplanned) times within a given period. Those kinds of repetitive spots are not
bad even
if they appear fairly closely spaced in time. New stations are coming to the
clusters
all the time and what's 'old' to me may be a new mult to them.
For example - W3LPL spots a station at 1524Z. I'm running stations and not
paying close
attention to the spots. The screen scrolls quickly (as it often does) and LPL's
spot
disappears off the screen. Then I do S&P and at 1538 I tune across the same
station as
previously spotted by LPL, I don't need 'em so it wasn't on my list of avaiable
mults/calls so I don't know it's already been spotted, but someone else might
so I spot
'em. If you have already worked 'em he won't show.. if not. he will.
Likewise, as others come across the same station they might spot 'em at fairly
close
intervals. This is repetitive, but usually it's just the spot without the
repetitive
'cheerleading comments' that are usually appended to the repetitive spotting
being
disucssed such as with the ZF2MM example.
Repetitive spotting by different stations at closely spaced times does not seem
to be a
problem with anyone. What bugs people (me included) is the same station(s)
doing
specific stations over and over and over and over. Couple this with the
comments and
they are OBVIOUSLY trying to attract attention to teh station for some reason.
One COULD intimate that the spotter is a shill for the station and has
prearranged to
act as the contest spotter for that station. This would appear to be the case
with the
ZF2MM example given and many (myself included) would have valid concerns that
this is
nothing more than a dodge used to (technically) avoid running afoul of the ARRL
rule
that clearly prohibits stations from either asking to be spotted or stations
self-spotting themselves during the contest.
Yes, it can be argued that ZF2MM was not *TECHNICALLY SPEAKING* (during the
contest
period) - asking for, nor self-spotting himself. But the context of the
comments and the
repetitive nature of spotting by one or two stations makes it abundantly clear
that such
can be legitimately construed as the reason for all the spots since it appears
quite
likely that it was a Club member at ZF2MM and a Club member doing the spotting.
Even if
not so... there is a definite odor to the effort that raises eyebrows and
raises questions about conflicts of interest and the like.
Perhaps the basic action in this case would be for stations to apply the
well-understood
premise that the 'spirit and intent' of the rule be observed rather than the
'strict
letter or the law' which normally applies.
As for the station who works at a M/M then goes home and spots the station they
just
operated from, technically, again, not a violation, IMHO, but does raise an
odor and
questions. ONe thing I've learned about M/M's .. they usually find themselves
being
spotted quite a bit, regardless, based upon the nature of being a M/M and being
on the
air on many bands for a L O N G period of the contest.

Might be something to think about here.
8P5A should have known ahead of time he didn't have a chance against ZF2MM.
The 9 land herding spots just insured this probability.
If you're not on packet, then you shouldn't let it bother you that
activities such as this go on.

He probably would have had to have pre-printed notices to cover everyone
caught transmitting above 14.347. Heck, I would have needed them to cover
everyone *I* heard up there while S&Ping around the band!
We're not talking about 14347.2 either. (which might arguably be OK if you
trust your 2.1KHz filter to properly scrub your transmitted signal) We're
talking about well above 348. Some, above 350.
Seems the offending CQers were just about always DX, but that doesn't make
it any more legal for the W's who answer...

Al is right on target with this issue.
Such pre-arrangements are not "legal".
Pre-arranging for this type of "assistance" crosses the line into
"multi-operator" area. As most of these other operators are not physically
at the subject station, even this is a violation of the rules.
If they are somehow considered part of a multi-operator or assisted
station's operation (although remote, and ignoring the above for a moment),
self-spotting is also prohibited.
All of this type of activity extends the number of operators and geographic
spread of these operations. There's nothing in the rules to permit it.
" Paul, K9PG, is a great operator. He doesn't need this "help" from the
peanut gallery."
Nor the bad press I would imagine.

Message-ID: <166.a107927.29bb853b@aol.com>
The reason everyone is perplexed by the Italian wattages is that they are
omitting the conversion factor. Italians use Lirawatts rather than standard
watts as defined in the MKS system of measure !
The Lirawatt is somewhat hard to define in absolute terms, since to
accurately measure it you have to go "behind the curtain" where access is
rarely granted.
Our researchers at the National Bureau of Standards have indicated that the
Lirawatt is roughly equivalent to 10 to 15 watts as defined by the NBS.

A similar situation on 15m. I was involved in one where the DX was actually
listening up out of the band! I wasn't paying close enough attention but
geez I had a lot of company up there. In any case, better from the OO than
the FCC. I'm still watching my mailbox, though......

Try listening just above the band edge during a contest and you will quickly
realize why the OO has to have the form preprinted except for the call,
etc., in order to even hope of keeping up with the violators...

Subject: [CQ-Contest] UPS Standby vs Online
Message-ID: <000f01c1c7b4$4bf9fe40$1b494140@delta>
Please forgive me if my information is dated. However, I believe
this is still true. Please forgive me if I am not entirely accurate as
I've not re-investigated this in recent years when APC took over
the small "UPS/SPS" market by storm.
Since at least the early 80's UPS were basically of three
types (we'll leave out the motor generator types from years before):
The truly "online" types like SOLA sold. The "switching" types of
which most if not all APC units (at least the small ones) are and
one novel design that I first saw from Unison (later purchased by
Tripplite).
The Sola's used ferro-resonant transformers and capacitors to
regulate and store energy. It has been too many years and I don't
recall all specifics but basically the transformer would accommodate
voltage swings of 20%...all the time if necessary. This would help in
instances of deep prolonged brownouts and poor voltage supply in
general. All without tapping its batteries. The online UPS continuously
charges batteries where power is drawn from and inverted to a poor
to reasonable facsimile of an AC sine wave. So if the power goes out
you are just losing your battery charger. Power continues to be drawn
from the batteries. "No Break", as they were commonly referred to.
Topaz used rapid "tap switching" on their special transformers
to simulate the ferro-resonant action. Thus Sola, Topaz and others
also had voltage regulators without deep brownout or blackout
protection.
At that time the ability to "switch" in power from a battery source
within a few cycles or fractions thereof was not available (I presume).
Thus computers (perhaps the pickiest devices) needed true online
power supplies. Later, adequate "invisible" switching was possible
and companies like APC (American Power Conversion) based
their designs on that. This reduced the parts count and other
undesirable things like the relative inefficiency of the FR transformer
with its associated heat generation and tendency to have very
noisy windings (both part and parcel of the way it works).
Thus "Standby Power Supplies" or SPS's were born, which
technically most of the advertised UPS's are.
The disadvantage of SPS's are that they cannot correct for deep
brownouts or continuous low voltage (to a degree) or overvoltage.
They are relying on passive MOV (Metal Oxide Varistors) and
other such things to take out surges. They rely on switching
in and out (repeatedly if necessary) the battery supply for continuing
low voltage. Perhaps okay for our application but I hope you can
turn off the "alarm beeps" or have good headphones or "head-CW
filters"... :-)
The current SPS's are fine for most applications today but not in
all situations. I have seen some discussion about even using them
on linear amplifiers. The main point of contention being whether
there is a sufficient lag where the amplifier (or transmitter) power
supplies cannot ride through without affecting instantaneous peak
demands by modulation. Perhaps a moot point for all but the
"max power" or signal purists :-).
The third type, which I don't know if Tripplite still employs in
some or all of their designs, looked like a "T" configuration where
they used batteries in series up to 120VDC (or was it half that?)
and used the same circuit to charge them as well as invert to AC
when needed. Still truly uninterruptible (so they claimed) as
opposed to standby switched but with a lesser part count and
attendant complexity. Maybe achieving better reliability and cost.
So the moral is to understand your true power and (surge) load
situation. Then before you select a solution see if the kind you
select will really do the job. I have used all three with success.
Also, understand whether your loads will tolerate the often less
than perfect sine wave that some UPS produce. A good article I
saw years ago had oscilloscope pictures of the various "pseudo
sine waves" the tested units produced. Quite alarming. I hope
they have improved since then.
Please pardon the bandwidth and degree of "off topic" but
I hope this helps some understand the differences.
Oh, and motor generator types were mostly used in backing
up large main frame computer systems. Large, massive
wheel-type mechanical energy storage (then converted to
electricity) devices have been around for years before.

I think this is pretty much the design standard, at least for small
self-contained UPSes.
There are some amazing deals out there from time to time -- I got a new 300
VA APC UPS for $10 from Staples after a mail-in rebate. It's not enough to
power everything computer related in the shack, but it supports my CPU
quite nicely. Since installing it, I've never had an outage of more than
about 2 seconds, but I've had hundreds of the little glitches and dips that
would have caused my computer to reset otherwise. It's very pleasing to
hear the UPS beeeeep and know that I've just dodged another bullet,
especially in the middle of a good run.

Steve, you are right. OOs send out "OFFICIAL OBSERVER ADVISORY NOTICE".
W2CC, must been sitting on S51CK's frequency and copied calls of stations
worked him in the contest. According to David, (S51CK & KE1F, me) was
transmitting on 14349.31, our sideband was out of the band. My logging
program did not know that.
Gee, could someone tell me what is a legal way to inform S51CK that he was
too close to band edge?

Message-ID: <002901c1c7b8$97054760$13b94618@wp.shawcable.net>
Hi,
It would seem to me that a few rules speak to this issue:
The first is the reference to station location and the requirement that all
equipment, including antennas, be located on the station owner's property or
within a 500-foot radius, whichever is greater.
If you participate in activities for the benefit of your M/M effort from
your home either as part of a M/M team or as a friend of an operator in the
Caribbean (different residence than station), is this rule not then being
violated?
Another is the rule that in various forms essentially says that an operator
can use only one call for the contest. Now, in fairness, I think this rule
is applied according to situation: in other words an operator who leaves the
station to pick up food then calls back on 2m for directiosn to the pizzaria
would be fine, if technically in violation.
I think someone who goes home and uses his call to pad the packet spots
would invite enforcement.
I also think that depending on how the request was made, the prohibition
against using non-amateur means to solicit contacts may also apply.
So yes, I'd have to say the practice of encouraging others to spot you
violates rules on a few levels.
But I don't see how pre-contest publicity violates any rule, especially
given the long-standing practice of DX-pedition anouncements.

Perhaps this is obvious, but with the introduction of the Euro, "lirawatts"
are obsolete. Italian watts should now be equal to approximately 0.82 U.S.

For the life of me, I do not understand why everyone is so upset at an OO
a volunteer task that is trying to, in his/her own way keep the tradition
alive
of the ham bands policing themselves. This very rare in today's climate.
The folks are seriously trying to inform you of your misdeeds before
the FCC sends out one of those notices. I received an OO card a few
contests ago for, I believe, the same infraction that most of the guys here
are talking about. That of being too close to the band edge.I do believe the
rule still states that if any part of your signal is heard outside the band
edges,
then you are operating outside the band.
I used to be an OO a very long time ago, and Iremember what a thankless
job it was
then and apparently it still is. You used to be able to show that you
equipment met
certain standards, and I imagine that it is the same today.
After mentioning the self policing that we used to do, why don't hams tell
other hams when their signal sounds bad? It absolutely flabbergasts me to
hear a
CW signal with a super loud hum and chirp and when you mention it to the
operator
they rarely even acknowledge that you said anything, and if they do, they
just keep on
plugging.
The same applies to SSB also, distorted signals that are extremely
difficult to copy.
You know, communications microphones are supposed to be close talked...i.e,
lips
VERY near the wind screen. If you are talking a distance away from the mic,
then you
have to turn the gain up to get enough output, then all the background
noise is competing
with your voice. For those of you that disagree...go ahead, but why not try
to get a friend to test this
with you sometime on the air.
I think our South American friends are probably some of the worst about
this. Any of
you guys down yonder want to talk this around?
Flame away...I'm old and don't have much time left anyway.

I don't know how other software works, but the spots stay in CT's bandmap
for an hour. As I tune around the bands, I spot only stations that are not
already in CT's bandmap (i.e. haven't been spotted in the last hour), or

There was a S51 station on two afternoons running on a very clear
frequency at about 14348.5. I was tempted to call him since I had
worked everyone else I could hear calling CQ and I couldn't hear well
enough to CQ myself, but an OO report from an earlier contest when I
called an EA station at about that frequency taught me not to even make
a quick call. I guess it may not be of as much concern to the DX
stations, but they no doubt lure a lot of US stations into violations
toward the upper end of 20 and possibly 15.

All this UPS talk is making my head spin. Sorry. Simple question: I have
stupid blackouts which last about a second about twice a month because I
have a stupid power company. Complaining did not work. I got a UPS - an
APC ES350. It worked for a year. But now, when I get home and the alarm
clock is flashing, the computer has rebooted and the answering machine is
back to Mr. JA-san saying "please-leave; A MESSage." Obviously the UPS has
become an IPS.
Do I have to replace the battery in the UPS? Is this a common thing? How
do I know? Internet source for these batteries?
Sorry this is off-topic, but theoretically it could happen during a contest
and I need to be prepared :)

No one seems to have answered Bob's question...
Official Observers are not focused on reporting intruders within ham bands.
For more info:

The ARRL Monitoring Service volunteers perform the intruder watch function,
some information is available here:

Tom,
Again, my intent with the original post was to remind folks to watch the
band edges (which I was doing, incidently), not to berate the OO. He just
struck me as a little TOO prepared to nail people -- like the cops at the
speed trap in a community north of Pittsburgh (said community had illegally
lowered the speed limit on State Route 65 within their borders, and then
nabbed people who didn't have enough time to drop from 55 to 40 MPH) who had
their tickets filled out with everything except the date, time, and license
plate. Odd -- but still, if he's right, he's right. Annoying, but right.
But even though I didn't identify him, it's amazing how many people knew
exactly whom I was talking about. Right down to the style of envelope the
notice came in, and age of the stamps on it.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] OO reports
For the life of me, I do not understand why everyone is so upset at an OO
a volunteer task that is trying to, in his/her own way keep the tradition
alive of the ham bands policing themselves. This very rare in today's
climate.
The folks are seriously trying to inform you of your misdeeds before
the FCC sends out one of those notices. I received an OO card a few
contests ago for, I believe, the same infraction that most of the guys here
are talking about. That of being too close to the band edge.I do believe the
rule still states that if any part of your signal is heard outside the band
edges, then you are operating outside the band.
I used to be an OO a very long time ago, and Iremember what a thankless
job it was then and apparently it still is. You used to be able to show that
you
equipment met certain standards, and I imagine that it is the same today.
After mentioning the self policing that we used to do, why don't hams tell
other hams when their signal sounds bad? It absolutely flabbergasts me to
hear a CW signal with a super loud hum and chirp and when you mention it to
the
operator they rarely even acknowledge that you said anything, and if they
do, they
just keep on plugging.
The same applies to SSB also, distorted signals that are extremely
difficult to copy.
You know, communications microphones are supposed to be close talked...i.e,
lips VERY near the wind screen. If you are talking a distance away from the
mic,
then you have to turn the gain up to get enough output, then all the
background
noise is competing with your voice. For those of you that disagree...go
ahead, but why not try
to get a friend to test this with you sometime on the air.
I think our South American friends are probably some of the worst about
this. Any of you guys down yonder want to talk this around?
Flame away...I'm old and don't have much time left anyway.

On the one hand, a simple rule change to prohibit mass-spotting might be in
order. On the other, enforcing it could prove difficult, and someone
determined enough would find a way around it. And penaling the M/S or M/M
station for mass spotting could backfire -- there are those who'd do it just
to get someone DQ'd.
Probably best to express displeasure at this antic in forums like this one,
and hope the offenders will not do so in the future.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] M/Ms spotting from home and by friends
Hi,
It would seem to me that a few rules speak to this issue:
The first is the reference to station location and the requirement that all
equipment, including antennas, be located on the station owner's property or
within a 500-foot radius, whichever is greater.
If you participate in activities for the benefit of your M/M effort from
your home either as part of a M/M team or as a friend of an operator in the
Caribbean (different residence than station), is this rule not then being
violated?
Another is the rule that in various forms essentially says that an operator
can use only one call for the contest. Now, in fairness, I think this rule
is applied according to situation: in other words an operator who leaves the
station to pick up food then calls back on 2m for directiosn to the pizzaria
would be fine, if technically in violation.
I think someone who goes home and uses his call to pad the packet spots
would invite enforcement.
I also think that depending on how the request was made, the prohibition
against using non-amateur means to solicit contacts may also apply.
So yes, I'd have to say the practice of encouraging others to spot you
violates rules on a few levels.
But I don't see how pre-contest publicity violates any rule, especially
given the long-standing practice of DX-pedition anouncements.

Mark,
The batteries in a UPS are lead-acid, same as a car battery. They do
wear out after a while. I have 4 UPSs between home and office. I've
replaced batts in 2 of them, I'd say averaging 4-5 years of use.
One way to test it is pull the UPS's plug out of the wall. If the computer
doesn't stay powered up, you need a new battery. Theoretically,
something else could be wrong with the UPS, but it's very unlikely.
I bought my replacement batts on Ebay.

Mark,
Somebody at work had a whole bunch of little APC UPSs
set up in a battery replacement triage a few months ago.
Apparently they got them for free because all of the
batteries were dead. They just dropped in new gel cells
and they were all as good as new. Don't know where they
got the new batteries, but I assume they are readily available
(they are probably standard cells) since the electronics generally
outlives them.
I can find out if you like.

West representative
Message-ID: <01c1c7e2$9fe4e8c0$LocalHost@default>
CHANGE IN THE U.S WEST WRTC2002 REPRESENTATION
The WRTC2002 Organizing Committee assembled a team of representatives a
little over a year ago to provide several valuable services for the WRTC2002
games. We were fortunate to obtain financial services by the Northern
California DX Foundation, Inc and Bruce, W6OSP and Rusty, W6OAT.
We had also appointed US Regional representatives: Bob, K4UEE - South, Jeff,
K1ZM -East and Dennis, K7BV -West have performed remarkable fund raising work
in their respective areas. The entire group, further assisted by Bob, K3EST,
has provided the group in Finland with practical support, advise, guidance
and counseling.
This support has kept the spirit alive - emails are crossing the Atlantic
not daily but hourly. The group in Finland has no doubt that the upcoming
WRTC event is now well recognized and valued by the entire Amateur Radio
community. The stage for a wonderful event is being steadily set in a
professional manner. We are comfortable that this will be a memorable event for
all attendees:
regardless of whether they are a competitor or part of the enthusiastic
cheering crowd of well wishers.
Dennis, K7BV is about to take a new job on the snowy East Coast thus he will
turn over his regional responsibility to Steve Merchant, K6AW. Steve is a
seasoned contester at KC1XX, N6RO, HC8N, well suited to the activity, and a
frequent traveler to Finland. In fact, he operated the recent ARRL DX Contest
from the Aland Islands as OH0R.
Promoting and representing WRTC2002 has taken Dennis, K7BV to all continents
except Africa - all at his own expense. The effort has been very determined and
highly valued by all of us. We thank you kindly, Dennis. Instead of losing him,
we would like to use his energy and expertise in a new capacity, announced
today. We are pleased to invite Dennis to be an Honorary WRTC Ambassador at
Large, with the assumption that he will be personally seeing all WRTC delegates
upon their arrival in Finland.
The Organizing Committee of WRTC2002 would like to welcome Steve, K6AW on
board and thank all of our area representatives and supporters in the U.S and
elsewhere. We also wish Dennis, K7BV all the best of luck with his new
challenges.

Message-ID: <d8jxuypzk2x8qli.100320020757@designet-jsi>
I think Tom, K5IID, is right on the money in his comments about the OO.
I have no problem at all with the OO using a photocopier to simplify his job.
If the OO only sent out the proper report in a timely manner, and didn't abuse
his position or malign the offender in what he wrote, then he did his job
correctly. If photocopying allowed him to make more violators aware of their
alleged transgressions, this is probably a good thing.
It seems to me that the OO community can defend a position that they are taking
a pretty liberal approach to their activities vis a vis contesting. In the
current FCC enforcement climate, they could argue that any contester who
operates within a crowded band, but outside a recommended bandplan, deserves an
OO notice. This based on the recent statements by FCC that bandplans are part
of "good amateur practice" and that frequency disputes will be adjudicated in
favor of amateurs who are observing the plan.
Food for thought.

Thanks to all who shared their knowledge/experience in answer to my UPS

But that virtually everyone who commented got substantially more life out of

That does bring up one DX station I ran into on 40m - wish I could remember
the call - "150, 150, DX1DX Contest listening 150". To the credit of us USA
types, in the 2 minutes or so I spent listening while fiddling with my
modem, he didn't get any answers...
The problem with 40m phone contest and USA here is that some USA stations are
listening below 7040, which is CW/FSK/Pactor... band here.

Congratulations to the sponsors of the Russian DX Contest. They have a
fantastic web site about the contest with rules, results, and records.
I was impressed by several innovations to contest results reporting. The
score listings are done by country and by category. This makes it possible
to see how you did against everyone without having to search through all the
country scores.
Even more interesting, they list the claimed score, the final score, the
percentage of the log that was cross checked, and the percentage of unique
QSOs. I think this is the first contest that has presented this level of
detail on the "quality" of log checking and of each operator.
I look forward to other contest results that are published on the web to do
the same.
Randy, K5ZD

Back in the late 70's I visited a well known G3 Contest station. He had the
100 watt transceiver with a small linear that could do 300 or 400 watts out.
They did have nice antennas but I asked how they did so well (against the
300 watt I's). He said the secret was the "antenna tuner" which was mounted
in a big drawer. The tuner had several 3-500Z's and a 4KV power supply.

The gell cell batteries for APC UPS are available from APC
or, more conveniently, places like Batteries Plus, Interstate
Batteries, etc. A web search will find dozens of places
selling the replacement batteries via mail order.
Try to check the UPS before buying a replacement battery.
Once in a while, they will lose the switching transistors
and a replacement battery won't do you any good. Check
the battery with five amps of 13.5 volt ... if it shows
good voltage and life, the UPS is bad. Most of the batteries
in the smaller (200 to 400 VA) UPS are rated for 5 to 7
Amp-hours (enough to provide five to 10 minutes operating
time at rated output).

Ron -
I believe that most who have read your post understand
that you aren't berating the OO.
Having said that -
Could you, perhaps, still be jumping to a conclusion?
You *assume* that he/she was sitting there, stack of forms
in hand, thirsting to nail folks. Actually, you don't *really*
know, what procedure the OO followed, and your comments
are based upon pure speculation.
Methinks you're too worried about the process. You
seem to appreciate the fact that the OO took the time
to help. Why continue to worry about the process, a
process that you actually know nothing about?
Suggestion: Write the OO a note of thanks! OO's spend
long hours toiling on the bands, receiving very little thanks
in return, generally no thanks at all.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Cable modem questions
Message-ID: <000701c1c84f$ab190600$03539718@ubr.charterne.com>
Hi Guys,
I currently use the basic Ethernet card with a Motorola SB4100 Modem to get
Charter Pipeline service (about 750k bandwith) to my Dell Win98 computer.
I would like to network this computer with another Win98 computer in the
shack (downstairs and about 50 feet away).
I was told that I have two basic options:
1) Buy a router (about $90 at Staples) and about 50' of Category 5 cable
together with another Ethernet card and Motorola Modem SB4100 modem and then
install and hook everything up (and hope that it works).
2) Buy a wireless router (about $150) and Two high end Ethernet cards (about
$100) and the Motorola modem and then install same.
I am wondering about the potential issues for each....
For Scenario #1, by far the simplest, I wonder about the degradation of
signal over 50' of category 5 cable to the upstairs computer. I also wonder
about the potential RFI problem of transmitting legal limit power and having
the 50' cable run act as an antenna. I know that I can use ferrite beads to
reduce the effects of RFI but I still wonder about the signal degradation
over such a long length of cable.
What about the RFI to the router located 10' away from the transmitter. Is
this an issue that anyone has in their station? If so, how is it solved?
Scenario #2
If I go wireless, will the legal limit RF create a problem with the router
and the wireless signals?
Also, if there is a wireless signal now, wouldn't it be easy for anyone in
close proximity to my qth to access either or both computers and get data
from my files? Security is a real concern to me.
I currently use Zonealarm ver 2.6 as a firewall on both computers but my
understanding is that this is excellent protection against people trying to
invade from the "outside" but I don't know if it will protect against
invasions against interecepted wireless signals and my transmissions by the
wireless router.
Can anyone provide practical info on these issues?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

The difference is that it is illegal for US stations to operate LSB on
7.150. It is NOT illegal for most European stations to operate LSB
below 7.040. It might be against the *gentlemans agreed* bandplan but
it is not illegal. Big difference.

I think everyone who has ever received an (in)famous "POPKIN-GRAM" should
keep it as a memento of becoming a member of the club. Perhaps we can see
who gets the first 5-band RAP (Received All Popkin-Gram) for 80-10? Mixed
mode? 6-band? the possibilities are endless! They've been coming out
since the mid-60's I believe so there may be eligible hams out there.

Ok Guys
Quack to be heard from.
While operating a contest in Sept 2001, I recieved an OO card.
Good Operator Report,
I don't know what is wrong with you serious contestors that U have to
recieve bad news reports.
The only thing that I did was tell somone that their Audio was bad and
suggest a fix. ( Their battery ,Power supply leads too long. )

Bob,
You have more options.
First of all, you do not NEED a router. You might decide it's the best
option, but it's not necessary.
I would add these additional options...
3. Add a hub. Put the hub in a convenient location. Route a Cat 5
ethernet cable from each computer to that hub.
4. Kiss off both the router idea and the hub if you don't mind using some
older technology. Use 10Base2 ethernet: RG59/U coax to a BNC connector on
the ethernet card (you need to buy an ethernet card that is either a combo
or a BNC-only card) on each computer. The computers basically are wired
together. At each computer you have a BNC Tee connector, the unused port of
which has a BNC terminating plug on it. 10Base2 networks have as a
disadvantage a speed limit of 10Mbps, which is still plenty fast enough for
your broadband connection at 765K.
I use both cat5 and the RG59 versions in the shack. 3 computers tied with
10base2 and another with the 3 via a hub and cat5. I don't run legal limit,
being constrained by my SB220, but still around a KW or so. Not a peep of
RFI among the network of 4 computers ALL in the ham shack within 20 ft of
the rig. Total RG59 coax length/cat5 around 50 ft or so. (I have lots of
excess cable using prepared lengths). Of those in my geographic area that I
know use LANs, none has experienced any RFI on ethernet lines, so I conclude
that it is uncommon and you should NOT expect a problem.
With options 1 thru 4 you will use file/printer sharing of Win98 along with
Win98's Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), I presume, so that both 'puters
will access each other and the internet. Since ICS maps the "remote"
computer address to that of the internet-connected computer, your ISP is
generally unaware that the sharing is going on. Two ISP accounts are not
required. The zone alarm you use today with your broadband link will still
work in an ICS LAN configuration and if you only access the internet thru
the ICS gateway, will not be required on the "remote" computer any longer.
You didn't state what program you are using to act as the PPPoE client on
the Dell (the pgm that talks thru the ethernet card to the external modem).
But, if you decide to use ICS to allow sharing of the broadband connection
with the downstairs computer, you might run into some complexity with the
(lack of) PPPoE/ICS support in Win98. I ended up installed RASPPPOE, a
freeware program, and kissing off my ISP's PPPoE application to make the
sharing work. RASPPPOE is highly thought of, BTW.
As for interception of the radiated wireless signals, I see no way zone
alarm can be of assistance there.
I've never tried wireless LANs and will read this thread with interest to
see others' experiences vis-a-vis RFI.

Back in the late early 70's time frame, I was busily trying to break a
pileup on 15-Meter CW. I hadn't gotten my Extra Class license yet (I
only had an Advanced), and was sending my call repeatedly with the rest
of the mob.
Several weeks later, I received a violation notice ("Reply in Duplicate
Within 10 Days!") from the FCC - I believe it was from the Spokane, WA
monitoring station. They noted that the band edge was 21.025 MHz for
Advanced Class licensees, and I had been observed operating on 21.02476
MHz. Of course, I replied immediately, and never heard anything further.
I learned several things from that FCC letter:
* The FCC had some good high-speed CW operators.
* The FCC's frequency readout was better than my Drake Twins with the
analog dial (which were "state of the art" gear back then.)
* The FCC was in the "enforcement" business back then.
* The FCC had lots of "free time" to cruise through the ham bands.
* The FCC guys probably did a big business during DXpeditions with their
"pink slips" (the one I got was white).
* The FCC probably had a few chuckles sending out the violation notices
since they knew that the hams receiving them really had just
"accidentally" been out-of-band ever so slightly.
I kept the letter so that I could frame it someday, hang it on the wall
in the ham shack, and be able to show visitors "how the FCC used to
work."
Where were the OO's, instead? I did get a couple of key-click notices
from them in the mid-1960's using my Heathkit DX-40 transmitter (and
eventually a postcard from the FCC!)
Oh, and yes, I did get through the pileup, and received the QSL card.
Funny thing though, the Callbook had mistakenly listed me as having an
"Extra" class license for a few years.....

FWIW, I use both approaches at my Truckee, CA QTH with no problem. My shack is
about 150' from the antenna which, unfortunately, points straight back at it
when beaming the East Coast. I run 1.5KW. In the shack is one end of about 150'
of Cat 5 to a cable modem/router upstairs and on the other side of the house. I
think the spec for Cat 5 is 500' so your cable is short. Also on my cable
modem/router is a separate wireless router intended to serve my son's apartment
across the driveway. In fact, his wireless laptop is usable almost anywhere in
either building. No RFI has ever been detected entering the network. Although I
have intermittent, unidentified RFI entering my receiver, mainly on 10-20,
powering off both the cable modem and the wireless router shows that they are
not the culprits.
Wireless routers are insecure unless you tell them to encrypt everything. Then
they can be very (but of course not completely) secure. According to my son
(KC6YEW but he'd rather use the Internet, Thank You), you can use up to 128 bit
encryption with many of these wireless routers, so only a very determined
intruder could access anything. Every machine that relies on a wireless modem
to access the network has to be informed of the security key. I don't think
your firewall impacts security of the wireless environment positively or
negatively.

It seems this request (both prior to and during a
contest) to "spot" someone comes all too often. I
find it more than a bit unpalatable when I see it, yet
I do understand it.
Perhaps if more folks made it clear that they find it
rather unattractive, the practice (of asking AND
complying) would diminish. Afterall, a lot of the
evidence is pretty clear!

Message-ID: <003801c1c8b3$0ab32ba0$0700a8c0@5j08601>
Based on the comments and description, and reading between the lines, I
believe this OO is a well-known ham (at least in this area) who happens to
be a friend of mine. Please consider this:
1. He probably does sit there, stack of forms in hand, waiting for people to
"nail".
2. He does this because people's behavior in major contests is predictable:
There are always people answering DX CQ's on frequencies that put their
modulation products out of the band.
3. His motivation (since he's not a radio cop) must be (IMHO) to get people
to change their behavior before they get nailed by the FCC. This happens to
be a public service since there probably are some subtle rule violations
that are routinely made in contests by lots of people that nobody ever
thinks about which we can all live without coming under scrutiny.
Out-of-band violations happen to be very simple and very obvious and are
very easy for people to avoid if they pay attention. I can think of several
of these subtle other violations, but I won't discuss them here.
4. It's one thing to get a letter from Riley. Out-of-band violations may
involve interference to OTHER SERVICES. Riley is the Special Counsel for
AMATEUR RADIO Enforcement. Complaints from other services go elsewhere
before they get to Riley. The entire Amateur Radio Service can live without
this.
5. I think the bottom line to Ron's comments was that the OO in question,
just to use a double letter for no particular reason, sends out notices
during SSB contests because we are predictable. In doing so, his behavior
also becomes predictable, and the notices are worth commenting on only
because of this predictability, and their somewhat eccentric nature. If I
bought a million dollars or so of this week's commemorative stamp issue, I'd
probably have to use them for the rest of my life too.
I don't think I can count past five, but here's a story: In the ARRL SSB
contest last weekend I was operating at K2RD. At one point Friday night, I
took time out from a run to S&P not only multipliers, but "ordinary" QSO's
all over 20 meters. (As a first-time WriteLog user, I was having fun
mouse-clicking on the packet spot list.) At one point I was poised to call
a station on 14348.5 (not having noticed how close to the band edge this
was). Ira happened to notice the frequency readout on the 1000D, pointed to
it and said "That's a [name withheld] frequency." It took me 3 or 4 seconds
to figure out what he meant, never having received one of these OO notices,
but certainly having heard about them, at which point I giggled and replied
"Yeah, I guess it would be", shook my head clear of the cobwebs and went
back to finding a run frequency.

The difference is that it is illegal for US stations to operate LSB on
7.150. It is NOT illegal for most European stations to operate LSB
below 7.040. It might be against the *gentlemans agreed* bandplan but
it is not illegal. Big difference.

I've been down these roads. You need to check with your Internet provider,
a router may indeed be necessary. For example, AT&T Broadband charges an
additional fee ($9.95/month) to connect more than 1 computer (up to 3
actually) to the Internet (they call it Home Networking). Using a router,
I can connect as many computers as I want without paying the additional fee
(they see the router as a single computer). You can set up a gateway
computer and a hub and do the same thing, but then it needs 2 network
cards, must always be on, some software like AOL might not work through it,
etc.

I, too, received a Popkin-Gram, a few months ago.
Dave is a retired FCC field engineer, and evidently still
has the juices flowing. While he has time to monitor...he
doesn't make stuff up. (I won't go into the time he busted
my college carrier-current radio station...long ago and
far away. I'm just glad MY first-phone wasn't on the wall.)
At the time of receiving his OO notice, I sent him an email,
asking what he was using for receiving equipment. OO's are
obligated not to get into discussion with cited stations,
apparently.
While it IS true that you're not supposed to be heard out of band...
Receiver bandwidth comes into play. This could manifest as
signal peaks being heard on 7150, indicated....when the TX
station was on 7153, and had FCC compliant emissions, in
all respects.
There's another side to it...and one we might do well to
contemplate: If we have 2.6KHz wide filters in the exciter's
transmit chain, and we overlay on that the resulting amplified
spectrum....it's questionable whether we should operate on
7153 LSB. You would have to KNOW the spectral purity of the
entire chain--something we're generally not equipped to do.
I think Dave arbitrarily assumes the best here....if he sees
you're on 7153, you're ok. If below that...he sends a love
note. Not a bad thing to be reminded of. Unlike that cop in
Pittsburgh...there's no revenue consequence.

Reading about all the packet spots, my two cents:
Marketing of contest operations used to result in "why didn't I think of
that?" It didn't start with packet. For better or worse, now consensus
seems to have shifted to accusations of "spam" and "unfair advantage."
The good news - it's easy to ignore.
George (K5TR) asks if we want contests to be defined by skeds, emails,
spots, buddy-Qs, T-shirts and/or banner ads - I think as long as multipliers
have a dominant effect on score, these other things won't define contests.
You're probably going to need the guy on 6 bands no matter how he's
publicized, and you're probably not going to boycott him just because you
object to his solicitation practices.
Did the excessive spots get more people to decide to work ZF2MM than would
have otherwise? Probably. Should it be against the rules? Probably.
IMHO the sponsor is obligated to clarify the rules.

Message-ID: <ADEJKJINLBKGMNGALFCFMEEGDDAA.W2CS@bellsouth.net>
As I said before, you might WANT to use a router for performance reasons,
but it is not NEEDED for functional reasons. That statement remains
correct.
In fact in Bob's original question where he just wants to hook up a SECOND
computer, no hub or router is needed at all. A simple crossover cable can
be used to connect the two computers. A crossover cable is an ethernet cable
that is analogous to the null modem for serial port direct connections.
It's available prewired in many lengths at your local computer toy store.
If you use a crossover cable, you therefore must use the Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS) component of Windows as described below. Aside from that
special case of a 2-computer LAN...
The term router is unfortunately being used in this thread to mean several
things. One thing it means is that IP packets that are flowing between
computers on your LAN are sent to the router (in the center of a star
configuration) and that router box sends it only to the target LAN computer.
A hub, as was mentioned by someone else, simply passes that packet around to
everyone, and the computer addressed by the packet is the only one to act on
it. Thus a router will save LAN traffic and make the LAN more efficient.
This matters when you plan heavy traffic on the LAN, such as disk backups
across computers in the face of other LAN activity and the like. If what
you're doing is normal internet traffic and sending files to be printed,
this level of performance is not needed IMO. A typical broadband speed is
on the order of 1Mbps. The slowest LAN is 10Mbps, with most being 100Mbps.
Lots of headroom.
Another use of the term router, but in my view not a proper one, is the act
of "routing" IP packets to a single ISP-provided internet connection from
multiple computers on your LAN, without having to have multiple
accounts/IDs/IP-addresses from your ISP. I prefer to call this a gateway
function, instead of a routing function.
Here you have a gateway, either hardware or software, that looks to the ISP
as the box that logged on, and that gateway box in turn manages the routing
of packets from the different computers in such a way that the ISP always
sees them as coming from one IP-address. Internally, it knows how to route
the packets, inbound and outbound, from that gateway to individual computers
on the LAN.
This gateway "routing" function can be done EITHER by a router or by
software in one of the computers. Windows 98, 98SE, XP, 2000 and probably
NT (I'm not sure of NT) all provide a component called ICS-internet
connection sharing. With ICS you can have your gateway computer, usually
the fastest, connected to your ISP, and the other computers get their
packets routed to the internet by ICS within the LAN. The connected
computers are totally transparent to whether they are talking to your ISP
via the ICS gateway, or whether you decided, for example, to bring up a
local-to-that-computer dialup connection, or even a 2nd local broadband
connection. The LAN-attached computer will preferentially use the local
connection if it exists, or the LAN-gateway connection, otherwise. This
works like a charm; I've been using it in a 4-computer LAN for a few years
now, with a mix of Win95, Win98SE and WinXP systems. I have never had a
piece of software that could tell the difference as to whether it was
directly attached to my ISP or attached via a LAN+Gateway/ICS computer.
With the software ICS gateway approach you can also use internal modems on
that gateway machine, although it appears most broadband modems today seem
to be gravitating toward external modem boxes that are ethernet attached, so
this is likely a limited advantage.
With the external modem you can therefore either ethernet attach it to your
router box, to a hub (instead of a router), or as I prefer to do, to a
separate ethernet card in the gateway computer. This has the advantage of
having no direct hardware connection between your internet connection and
your LAN, something I prefer for security reasons. Thus, your gateway has 2
ethernet cards. Your modem connects to one, and the other goes to whatever
LAN hardware you decide to use: 10base2/BNC, hub, or router. Of course the
LAN-attached computers each have one ethernet card, which connects to the
LAN (10base2/BNC, hub or router on the other end), something independent of
how you connect the modem.
Regardless of which LAN wiring solution you choose, with an always-on
broadband connection you need to invest in some security software such as
zone alarm or Norton's Internet Security. Both are frequently updated and
monitor traffic to spot typical hacker attempts. This is like having an
antivirus product to catch viruses before they infest your computer. With a
long-lived connection, it's a prime target for a..holes who like to do dirt.
Some routers, such as Linksys, advertise security inherent in the router. I
distrust relying solely on the firmware in a piece of hardware to keep
hackers out. I prefer using software that can be updated frequently (like
weekly), by a company whose business it is to provide hacker security. So,
even if I had a router, which ostensibly offered some level of security, I
would back that up with a good software security product.
Hope this helped someone. My fingers are pooped.

50 feet of CAT5 is nothing. The official specifications state a limit of
100 meters, but 10 Mbit Ethernet can go much further and 100 Mbit has even
been known to exceed 100m without trouble.
QRM to CAT5-based Ethernet is minimal because of the design of the signals
on the wire. Ethernet over twisted-pair (10BaseT, 100BaseT, ...) uses
differential encoding. The signals on each wire of the twisted pair are 180
degrees out of phase. The RX is a differential amplifier. Any QRM is
injected on both wires in phase. This is cancelled out by the differential
amplifier. Also, the wires are twisted upon each other to minimize
reception of noise in the first place. Is QRM still possible? Certainly,
but I use CAT5 and have yet to cause problems, even with the Acom amp
blowing full steam. My Peet Bros. WX station, on the other hand, always
gets scrambled and requires a reset after every contest!

Of course, this is always a concern, but this stuff tends to be pretty good
with RFI, mainly because they will GENERATE a ton of RF if improperly
shielded (decent 30m QRP XMTRs).

Encryption is available in most devices. While insufficient for the CIA and
commercial banking, it's fairly good and way more than most of us would
need.

ZoneAlarm will do nothing to protect from QRM. QRM is beyond the scope of
what this class of products does. I also use ZoneAlarm and its VY FB. If
you install a wired router, the router will likely have similar firewall
features, rendering ZoneAlarm redundant. If you use wireless networking,
ZoneAlarm will indeed provide an extra level of protection, although the
encryption will likely be enough.
Here is a worst-case scenario for wireless networking that is unlikely, but
nevertheless posssible. You do not enable encryption and your neighbor
tasps into your wireless network and essentially uses you as a free ISP.
You tell ZoneAlarm that your "local" network is safe and any IP addresses
beginning with 192.168 are local. Your neighbor grabs a 192.168 address and
can then access shared files on your PCs. ZoneAlarm CAN protect against
this, but you have to be very specific about which addresses are "trusted"
and monitor it carefully. The best option is, of course, to use encryption.
This would keep you neighbor out unless he somehow discovered your
encryption key.
CONTEST RELEVANCE:
Since this is the contest reflector, how does this relate to CONTESTING?
Multi-ops and some SO2R ops will want to use such networking. With
WriteLog, CT, and other logging software supporting Ethernet networking now,
it handily beats the old COM port serial networks. Also, this is of crucial
importance for family harmony. If the XYL and harmonics want to surf the
Internet during the big contest, it's best to understand these issues.

To reinforce prior postings with regard to
RFI and ethernet, I have a 100Mbit network
with 4 servers adjacent to the left and two
servers adjacent to the right, with ethernet
cables running behind the rig (and on the
second floor, 14 feet above ground).
I have two routers (STRONGLY RECOMMMENDED),
one for ADSL (384K out, 1.44Mbit in), and
one for IDSL (144K both ways), cross connected
for reliability of access for business.
A 150 foot run of ethernet feeds the three
home machines downstairs, one of which has
wireless 2.4GHz keyboard and mouse.
I have never had any sign of RFI into the
network with full Alpha power, and I use
telnet connnections to packet clusters that
have never dropped, and I've run heavy
printing across the LAN while transmitting
without any impact whatsoever.
And I've never heard any RFI reception that
was caused by the network or the wireless
devices.

Of course our behavior as a group is highly predictable, otherwise a variant of
this discussion wouldn't recur each year...
Every time the topic does comes up, one thing that strikes me is the degree of
arbitrariness. We don't have a technical performance-based rule (-xx dBc @ +3
kHz) for how close we can get to the band edge. We have an absolute prohibition
(no emission out of band). That's a rule with which it may lierally be
impossible for anyone to ever transmit a signal and still be in compliance
(think about transmitted phase noise).
"Good practices" may suggest 3 kHz but there's no black and white, right or
wrong, how close is too close; 14347.00 minus epsilon doesn't absolutely
guarantee that I'm on the side of the angels and 14347.00 plus epsilon isn't
necessarily going to run me afoul of the Feds (I'd agree that 14348.5 or
7150.00 are horses of a different color). If anything, adopting a de facto
standard of 3 kHz is quite generous and affords ourselves a substantial benefit
of the doubt.
Getting an advisory notice about adherence with this conventional wisdom is not
in any way inappropriate, unjustified or unfair. It may serve as an important
and useful reminder. But to anyone cognizant of the subtlety and ambiguity in
the FCC rules, receiving such a notice doesn't convey very much in the way of
new or useful information on which to act.
If this were to happen to me, I hope I'd been fully aware that calling someone
on 14346.97 was getting pretty darn close to the functional definition of the
"band edge". Under those circumstances, a valuable notice would be one that
informed me that I'd actually been heard out of band; an irrelevant notice is
one that informs me that I worked a station that was on 14347.03 sent by
somebody who was busy logging notices to check any further for a more
definitive infraction.
If an implication of these notices this is how FCC Monitoring went about
issuing their citations in the past? Well, that's very interesting but how
relevant might that be today?

Hi Larry
I got one for operating closer to the band edge than that. On
40, before I got the extra, I was chasing an EA station and got a
pink slip from the FCC for operating on 7024.75 MHZ. I was 25
cycles into the extra band. I didn't argue, just told them I was
sorry and that's the last I heard about it. 73

Hi Mike,
Well, there IS a section in the FCC rules that
defines bandwidth. You'll find it in section 2 of
the FCC rules. They list an entire table of
bandwidth descriptions, the formulas, and the
emission types that fall under them.
I went a downloaded it from the FCC site and have
it at home.
You can tell the max bandwidth by looking at the
designator. SSBSC (SSB Supressed Carrier) is
noted as 2K7J3E which means 2.7 kHz bandwidth
J3E is the internationally recognized emmission
designator for SSB SC.
Suggest anyone interested find that. You will
will note specific details for bandwidth.

Well, I don't know if it was a great day or not. Just received my copy to
confirm
Dennis, K7BV is leaving the NCJ for uncharted waters. I'm sure this is good
for Dennis but I worry about his leaving.
I thought Dennis did a great job with the NCJ and I was hoping he would continue
the mission for awhile. I have had the pleasure of working with Dennis on NCJ
articles and, not counting the 1000+ contest Q's, have chatted with him during
the Dayton and Friedrichshafen ham shows. He's an all around "good" guy, "good"
for contesting and "good" for the NCJ.
Okay, Carl, I'm sure you will do a great job as well. Bad luck having to follow
K7BV
though....

The VA QSO Party starts this Saturday at 1800Z. You can check out the rules at:
http://www.qsl.net/sterling/QSOParty.html
As in years past I've put together a TRLog .dom file for this contest. The one
that I have is for in-state stations, but all you have to do is eliminate the
state and province abbreviations to use it out-of-state.
NOTE: the official county and independent city mult abbreviations have changed
from past years; don't use old .dom files...
This QP has been growing in the past few years and is a lot of fun with a fair
amount of activity.
If you want a copy of this .dom file just drop me some email. I can also
furnish a logcfg.dat "stub" file that you can add to and use for the VAQP.

Maybe 30 years ago was assigned for an Army Reserve summer camp to Camp
Ripley, MN. Had been active on 160 and phoned one of the big guns living
nearby and asked if I could drop by to check out the antenna system. Was
invited. Dropped by with the Chaplain and was entertained by this Hams wife
on the front porch for a while and then given a tour of the shack. The
non-Ham with me later asked why things were being moved around inside while
we waited. Power limit on 160 then was 50/100 watts.
Rumor is that that guy moved somewhere south of FL and isn't hamming
anymore. Maybe those antenna tuners exist(ed) outside of I and G.

I don't think it's unchartered at all. I think it said he was going to go work
for the ARRL.
Note that he also was replaced by K6AW as the west-coast (liason?) to
WRTC-2002.
Sounds like Dennis is looking forward to being very busy, and making the time
for it.
Good luck, Dennis, and thanks for your service to the NCJ.

I'm increasingly finding that if there was a way to, I'd request folks _not_
to spot me.
It used to be that before the Internet got involved, from the other side one
could see how spots propagated on packet & with the exception of highly
populated areas (W6 comes to mind), one could keep up.
But now - kaboom - all of NA is calling all at once. I was only goofing around
in ARRL DX SSB, but it wouldn't take long for the pile to instantly mushroom
& my rate to dip below three-per-minute. I'd pull the cans & wander off to
the kitchen to make a cup of tea, listening to folks calling & calling &
calling,
whilst at least one switched on chap would invariably chip in with "You
scared him away!".

To heck with the tuners, I want to know more about how you were entertained
on the front porch by the xyl! Where was the Chaplain during all of this?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] ZF2MM Stuff
Message-ID: <127.d685155.29beb701@aol.com>
Fellow Contesters
There has been some of discussion about the pre-contest
publicity and packet spotting activity for my recent ZF2MM
operation. After wading through the comments and input some of
you have provided, I feel terrible about the fact that some feel
I might have crossed the line. Had I known some would feel that way, I
wouldn't have bothered doing it.
Did I publicize my operation before hand? Of course I did. I
did the same thing that I've done for the past 10 years... in
every single contest, from Sprint and NAQP to CQWW and ARRL
DX... I went through old logs and emailed people that I've
worked before encouraging them to get on and make Qs. Did I ask people to
get on and only work me, and no one else? Of course not, the thought never
entered my mind... that would be
unethical. Did I ask anyone during the contest to spot me?
Absolutely not, that's specifically against the rules. Even though
there were no rules broken, this has become an unfortunate
situation that seems to have gotten a bit out of hand, and for that, I
apologize.
The bottom line is that I didn't mean to upset anyone! I'm
sorry if you're one of the ones that got upset. That certainly
wasn't my intent at all. The intent was to increase participation in this
contest for everyone, just as I have been doing for the past 10 years in all
contests. It's worked very well for the Sprints and NAQP as all kinds of
state records have been broken in both modes of both contests by everyone!
Activity in SS has gone way up as well and the club competition has gotten
very heated, which is great for everyone! This was the first time I tried
publicizing contest via email where I was gonig to be DX. Turns out it
wasn't such a good idea... I probably won't do it again.
As much as I hate learning experiences, I guess everyone has to
go through them now and then. I hope that, in the long run, this experience
will better the sport of contesting that we all love.
After talking to a few "serious contesters," I have decided to
submit my log in the category that I operated in...single op,
high power, and will do so with a clear conscience.
Thanks for reading

Paul,
No reason to apologize! You didn't do anything that hasn't been done for
years. See VP2KC, CN8WW or almost any OH2BH operation...
The problem, if there was one, had more to do with the zeal of your home
boys to overhype you on packet. The comments in the notes field were a bit
much.
Keep running 'em.

Some of you are going to wonder why your scores are not posted
in this summary. Frankly, I have come to the end of my patience
when it come to dealing with HTML encoded mail and attachments.
Tonight was the last straw. The 3830 Mailserver used to stop
HTML encoded mail and I had a chance to strip it out before
sending it along. the past week, it's been coming through in
all it's glorious mess and I am just not going to deal with
it anymore. I just can't spend 5 minutes trying to decoding
the stuff or searching for attachments on my harddrive.
Hopefully, the new Stripmine application (just installed on
contesting.com lists) will handle the cleanup up in the future
but if you can't find your post here - check your mail options.
If they are set for plain text, I'll be happy to help. If you
used the Web submission page - ditto.

Some of you are going to wonder why your scores are not posted
in this summary. Frankly, I have come to the end of my patience
when it come to dealing with HTML encoded mail and attachments.
Tonight was the last straw. The 3830 Mailserver used to stop
HTML encoded mail and I had a chance to strip it out before
sending it along. the past week, it's been coming through in
all it's glorious mess and I am just not going to deal with
it anymore. I just can't spend 5 minutes trying to decoding
the stuff or searching for attachments on my harddrive.
Hopefully, the new Stripmine application (just installed on
contesting.com lists) will handle the cleanup up in the future
but if you can't find your post here - check your mail options.
If they are set for plain text, I'll be happy to help. If you
used the Web submission page - ditto.
Sorry if I sound cranky - I am. dink, n7wa

Subject: [CQ-Contest] bandwidth
Message-ID: <3C8DE04E.6B4B@erols.com>
If you want to see what the FCC says about allowable bandwidth.. look at
section 2.202. They have a table and a formula for figuring it out. IT's
not related anywhere, specifically, in part 97 to go to 2.202 to find
out.. but the rules are there.
Just fyi. if you happen to have the gear to actually MEASURE your
bandwidth.. well, enjoy! All it takes is a decent spec analyzer, a high
quality stable reciever with a VERY accurate frequency readout, and a
'scope. It's not hard, but it takes a bit of time but it is highly
accurate and helps allay your fears. Of course.. if you have different
voice pitched operators you'll have to do a curve for each one cuz the
voice pitch affects the overall bandwidth.

Fellow Contesters
There has been some of discussion about the pre-contest
publicity and packet spotting activity for my recent ZF2MM
operation. After wading through the comments and input some of
you have provided, I feel terrible about the fact that some feel
I might have crossed the line. Had I known some would feel that way, I
wouldn't have bothered doing it.
Did I publicize my operation before hand? Of course I did. I
did the same thing that I've done for the past 10 years... in
every single contest, from Sprint and NAQP to CQWW and ARRL
DX... I went through old logs and emailed people that I've
worked before encouraging them to get on and make Qs. Did I ask people to
get on and only work me, and no one else? Of course not, the thought never
entered my mind... that would be
unethical. Did I ask anyone during the contest to spot me?
Absolutely not, that's specifically against the rules. Even though
there were no rules broken, this has become an unfortunate
situation that seems to have gotten a bit out of hand, and for that, I
apologize.
The bottom line is that I didn't mean to upset anyone! I'm
sorry if you're one of the ones that got upset. That certainly
wasn't my intent at all. The intent was to increase participation in this
contest for everyone, just as I have been doing for the past 10 years in all
contests. It's worked very well for the Sprints and NAQP as all kinds of
state records have been broken in both modes of both contests by everyone!
Activity in SS has gone way up as well and the club competition has gotten
very heated, which is great for everyone! This was the first time I tried
publicizing contest via email where I was gonig to be DX. Turns out it
wasn't such a good idea... I probably won't do it again.
As much as I hate learning experiences, I guess everyone has to
go through them now and then. I hope that, in the long run, this experience
will better the sport of contesting that we all love.
After talking to a few "serious contesters," I have decided to
submit my log in the category that I operated in...single op,
high power, and will do so with a clear conscience.
Thanks for reading
Paul K9PG

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Tracking power line noise
Message-ID: <z3rkh4h1xzvovhl.120320020949@designet-jsi>
After taking a major lightning strike last summer, there were lots of repairs
to do. Both my office and shack were affected. Rigs were blown; computers
damaged; it was a mess. While rebuilding, I didn't operate the station much
until ARRL DX this year. One of the things I noticed just prior to the contests
was a lot of low-band noise [80/160]. I did some basic testing, and determined
that noise sources appeared to be coming from outside the shack. This
determination was made after powering down every item in the shack, except the
receiver - and the noise was still there. It would also seem to increase in
strength with the 80m yagi aimed away from the house, and it was also strong on
the beverages [also aimed away from the house]. So, everything seemed to point
to an external noise source. But, there was no time to track and eliminate the
problem in the few remaining hours before the contest.
We operated the contests with the noise there, and lost a lot of points as a
result. I even got an email from another contester who wanted to let me know
just how obnoxious we were on the low-bands - calling DX stations when they
were already coming back to someone. He was right - we were in bad shape, and
it showed. The day after the SSB contest, I was so frustrated with the problem
that I went out and started to track neighborhood electrical noises with the
mobile rig. Boy, did I find a lot of things. Well, after a long search, I
located a very noisy CATV power supply. It was emitting a lot of electrical
noise and it was audibly humming away up there on the pole, too. I was 99% sure
this was the problem. With a boatload of assistance from well-connected
contacts in the CATV company, the power supply was replaced. The electrical and
audible noise in the area immediately around the power supply were both
eliminated. I rushed back to the shack to see if the problem was gone, and to
my amazement, it was still there - rock solid. Although it didn't solve my
noise problem, the CATV people said the supply really did need to be replaced,
so their efforts were not in vain. I really appreciated their help. Good thing
I left that 1% chance in my mind, though.
So, I went out driving again. I found more noise sources - two street lamps
that were arcing and failing to start properly. They were generating 40-60dB
over S9 noise. That noise was being radiated from the power lines for up to 2
miles from the source. I reported them to the power company for replacement.
But, these sources were time-of-day-dependent. During daylight hours, they were
quiet. And my noise was still there - all the time - day and night.
At this point, I was completely stumped, almost ready to talk to my wife about
putting the house up for sale. Instead, I decided to just take a couple of days
away from the problem and return to it later with a fresh approach. When I
decided to attack the problem again, I had already thought about how to
approach it:
1. Start over - make no assumptions.
2. Recognize that the source will very likely be obvious, when found.
3. Question everything.
So, I started over - looking inside first. Once again, I powered down
everything but the receiver. And, there was the noise. But, this time I wasn't
going to start looking for external noises so quickly. Was there still a
possible noise source in the shack or the house? I realized that I hadn't
really powered down everything - the receiver was running off the UPS hidden
under the desk! I moved the receiver to straight ac power - and the noise was
GONE!
The UPS was installed last summer as a protective measure against lightning and
other power failures [we have them frequently in my town]. I had just finished
telling the world how great the UPS was during the power glitch we suffered on
Sunday morning in the ARRL SSB contest, so the device was fresh on my mind.
The buzzing/hash noise generated by the UPS only appeared when a device was
plugged into it. It could be anything. And it would go away sometimes when the
device power was turned on - loading the UPS output. This had the feel of a
radiated noise from the device power cord. There were a number of potential
tests to perform, but the solutions were limited. So, I went straight to the
solutions, instead of messing around with testing. I took an old line cord and
wrapped most of it around multiple ferrites. I connected the stripped end to a
series line filter, and then fed that into a highly filtered multiple-outlet
strip with surge suppression. Plugged that into the output of the UPS and
started testing for noise. Gradually, I added all the loads back to the
filtered UPS output, and determined that these measures have completely
eliminated the noise.
Lessons learned or reinforced:
1. The problem is most likely to be blatantly obvious when found.
2. Don't assume too much along the way.
3. Definitely don't be too tough on anybody - like utilities - until you can
PROVE they are the problem.
4. It ain't over 'til its over.
5. The UPS is still a GREAT thing to have in the shack/office - no change in
my previous conclusions on this subject.
I think it's over. But, will continue testing - forever.

Paul, K9PG:
As I told you privately, when the snowstorm of grumbling began,
some folks are jealous.
It's good for the sport to publicize activity. k5zd offers some
good examples of similar actions. Did some of your clubmates get
excited? Great! Now write a post-contest piece for publication,
so you get MORE people excited and involved.
I note that the internet packet system handled the callout volumes
well enough. It's possible that some of the RF links might not
have been as robust. Perhaps there's something to be learned there.
Nice work, by the way. I wouldn't hesitate to publicize future
expeditions.

Yes those "antenna tuners" do exist in other countries. The only countries
I?ve seen 4CX10000 amplifiers in is USA (lot?s of them) Finland and
Sweden (huuuh). Now this is the big stuff but smaller stuff runing maybe
around 4 - 5 kW?s are very very very common in the world these days,
also in the USA so please stop mocking the Italians since they are no
worse then others.

I don't know what all the fuss about re-arranging the shack. In that part of
the country it was legal to run a KW . in some parts of the band and during
daylight. Some times the sun didn't set until VERY late.

There are a lot of seriously gray areas involved with the addition of packet
and Internet technology to the traditional concept of "single op".
Occasionally, enthusiastic use of these technologies strays into areas that
may overly compromise the concept of "single". There have been vigorous
discussions on similar topics - such as the use of "support teams" and host
assistance. In this case, the topic is pre- and during-contest "packet
marketing".
As far as I know we are still operating under the "all is permitted that is
not forbidden" assumption, so there would be no reason for Paul to withdraw
his log or change its entry category. There have been many situations in
the past where someone discovers a new and clever trick that pushes the
envelope into an area that provokes comment. Maybe there is a rule change,
maybe just a gentleman's agreement that the trick isn't "sporting", or just
maybe everybody starts doing it. Use of second radios is now accepted and
encouraged, but for many years it was quite unusual and often frowned upon.
Speaking for myself only - I would not hesitate to advertise my expedition,
nor to let all my club members know that I hoped to put them in the log on
all six bands. That's part of the good fellowship and enjoyment of
contesting. We don't do this in a vacumn, you know. In general, my
personal rule is that I try to compete on the basis of whether the wet stuff
between my ears works better than the other guy's wet stuff. Yet I augment
it with the best technology and location I can afford. It's often a
difficult call that we all have to make on our own best judgement.
If, for example, the contest adminstrators feel that packet spotting is
affecting the outcome in undesirable ways or is being used in a manner that
is not equally available to all competitors, then they need to write
unambiguous rules that create the appropriate constraints. In the absence
of formal constraints, then the only means of examining the issues is public
discussions in forums such as this.
Without discussion, how would the sport grow? I don't want contesting to
deteriorate into the state of some other sports where nothing new is
possible. We're very technology-driven and new gadgetry often introduces
completely new modes of operating that require some discussion as to their
appropriateness.
Personally, I appreciate K9PG's difficult post.

I have an APC UPS and have noticed nothing coming from it. I did have a
problem with a UPS sytems a number of years ago. There is a company on the
main street a few blocks from my house that has (still have) a big mainframe
with a UPS system as they need 100% up time as they process banking
transactions such as stockholder accounting and now home banking. I got
the Georgia Power Ex RFI investigator to come out and after looking
everywhere we drove into the business complex. Approaching the computer
center building the noise nearly blocked the local radio stations. The
company's building manager was hostile to anything so I got the IBM FE who
is a ham to approach them. Turns out the employees could only use FM in the
complex and even TV (both commercial and closed circuit) was affected. The
UPS firm came out and quickly found the problem.
Sometimes cleaning up a problem takes a lot of work. I nearly missed a
Mount Athos Dxpedition because of the noise which was S9+10DB with the beam
pointed NE toward both Greece and the firm.

Jim,
I'd like to add a few comments, having gone through some noise
problems myself recently.
The first thing the power company noise guru (also a ham) did was turn
my house power off at the main breakers. He fired up a little Honda
generator, and we plugged my rcvr right into to, to make sure the noise
was not coming from somewhere in the house (which it wasn't).
Next thing found was a noise emanating from a neighbor's house, about
1000 ft away. Turned out to be two, bad dimmer switches. I bought him
new switches and that fixed that. From there the search went continued
to some loose hardware and bad lightning arrestors on some poles...

Examples received: ON6AH/M, EA4FL/P, UT1FG/MM.
I know not to include /QRP. And what about the

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Cable Modem Answers and Summary
Message-ID: <001101c1ca19$960cd0e0$03539718@ubr.charterne.com>
I have been overwhelmed by the number of responses that I received to my
questions and the number of different ways of networking computers and
valuable information that you shared. Thank you all SO MUCH!
I have decided to go with a wired network and will itemize what I am going
to do and why for those who might be interested.
My current system is a Motorola SB4100 Cable Modem with Charter Pipeline
service at about 750 Kbaud connected to a Dell Pentium computer running
Windows 98 Ver 2 in my office. I wanted to be able to hook up the generic
Pentium computer in my shack also using Win 98 Ver 2.
I was not sure whether wired or wireless was the best way to go.
Many of you thought that a wireless router could have issues with cell
phones that operate in the 2.4 gig range. Others thought that would not be
a problem since the routers and cellphones are broad spectrum. Some thought
encryption was adequate for security, others not. This is a gray area. One
person pointed out that it was possible for someone close by to actually use
me as an ISP if I went wireless. Regardless, I couldn't take a chance on
security. There was also the cost factor - a wireless router and 2 wireless
ethernet cards could add an additional $150 - $200 over a wired
installation, although this would be offset to some degree by not having the
cost of cat5e cables. I would not have the convenience of wireless either.
However, several of you cautioned that this is new and unproved technology,
the wireless routers are usually slower - especially if there are
interfering with/being interfered with by cell phones and could/would be
more prone to trouble.
Since I am using Win98 Ver 2 on both computers, I do not need to be
concerned with Internet Connection Sharing Software, and since I am not
using Mixed Media, that also simplifies everything. Likewise, since this is
a simple installation with Win98 Ver 2 and a router, I do not need to worry
about messing around with computer protocols, IP addresses and other stuff.
The router will take care of that. While that may not be sufficient for
more complex installations, it should be adequate for my purposes.
I decided to buy a 4-port router (rather than a hub) so that I would have
better speed and reliability and could also take advantage of the NAT/PPoE
protocols and have additional firewall protection IN ADDITION to my Zonelabs
2.6.2 firewall. The "pro's" among you all said that you should have a
firewall installed on your computer and NOT rely solely on the router since
if someone penetrated the computer, the router could not prevent
unauthorized traffic OUT. Also, as I understand it, worms could send many
e-mails out using your address book. The extra protection of a Zonelabs
firewall is a good thing (protects in AND out) and cheap insurance.
With a 4-port router, I would not need a hub for multiple connections (one
less box) and since I have a printer port (DI704P vs DI704 model) I can
connect a printer downstairs to the router as well.
After doing some research on www.practicallywired.com and reading everyone's
comments, I decided on the DLink DI-704P router which is currently $79.99 at
www.bestbuy.com BEFORE the $30 mail-in Bestbuy rebate (purchase by 3/16/02)
AND the $20 Dlink rebate (purchase by 3/16/02) for a net cost of $29.99!
Likewise, the Dlink DFE530TX+ Ethernet 32 Bit PCI Card is $14.99 at Bestbuy
before the $5.00 Dlink Mail-in rebate (purchase by 3/16/02) for a net cost
of $9.99. It is very hard to ignore prices like this! At this price, I
decided to buy an extra card for future use.
I am pricing both Shielded (STP) and Unshielded (UTP) cable. Although some
felt that shielding was not necessary, at the right price I will go with
shielded cable, just to add an extra layer of safety.
After shopping around at Bestbuy, Blackbox, CDW computer and a few others,
it became obvious that www.cdw.com has the best prices on cat5e cables and a
very wide assortment of colors and lengths. If you set up a corporate
account with them, you may even get another 20-30% off like I did.
So, my installation will be as follows:
Charter Pipeline 750kbaud - Cable Modem - Router -
Computer1
Computer2
There were many, many other ways of doing this installation depending on
wired vs. wireless, router vs. hub, etc, but in the end I wanted something
reliable, easy and fairly cheap.
I hope that this summary will be helpful to those of you who know even less
about this stuff than me! Many, many thanks to K1TTT, N2SS, N3AD, W2UP,
WM3T, W2CS, N4ZR, K9MI, K3CT, K6LL, SM0WKA, NQ4I, K6LA, VA3NA, EA5DFV, W1UK,
N2CY, K7KR, WT6P K4FB, NB1B, K2SX, N6XI, KI5DR, K5KG, K2WR, N1HKO and a few

It's interesting to me how we seemingly think the Italians are the (1) only,
or (2) mostly guilty of running power.
And even though it's appears to be against most of the rules, we think it's
a big joke. Many of us know some who run smash, yet we appear to be in some
kind of awe that they're able to do it, and get away with it
year-after-year.
Where is this so-called "peer pressure", and "self policing" for which we so
admire ourselves?
Running super power gives those who do it a big advantage, yet we think it's
funny?
The Italians are not alone, and it seems to me that it's time for us to get
our collective act together.

I have a question that I am sure that many of you veteran contest ops can
answer to a "beginner". What are the top 10 most "popular" contests to
operate in. In checking the contest calendars, there are a LOT of 'em to
chose from! I am sure that CQ WW, CQ WPX, ARRL DX, and ARRL SS are probably
the "top 4", but what are the others that have the most participation? ARRL

I don't really understand people who feel obligated to insult OO's, or
make light of their efforts.
This seems to be a trend that has spilled over from the rest of
society that anything we do is OK.

A good many people operate out of band, especially when they
have power pushed to the limit of the radio/amp.
In particular solid state equipment needs huge headroom to have
reasonable IMD performance, yet I see rigs like FT1000MP's
cranked up to 130 watts or more. If you use a new TS2000 on 160,
IM is only in the -20dB range. Better stay far from band edges with
that rig, especially if you are loud!

The guy should be congratulated. He paid for those stamps,
devoted his time, and we should not operate with emissions that
extend out of band or spurious emissions that cause interference.
Of course the point is well taken that the OO should be absolutely
sure his receiver is not the problem. It would be a good idea if the
ARRL required the OO to detail his equipment, and how he made
the measurement.

I believe the ARRL 10 Meter test gets the most entries of any ARRL contest,
but that's almost over for this decade because of the impending decline of
the sunspot cycle. I like the IARU because it is shorter and you can go
mixed mode if you like, plus this year it is combined with the World Radio
Team Championship. The CW Sprints (4 hours each, twice a year) are frantic
but lots of fun. WAE has lots of activity and the QTC feature adds a unique
dimension. The NA QSO Parties (twice a year in each mode) are also brief
and give you a chance to call your contesting compatriots by name, which I
find good fun, especially on phone.

In ancient times, when I was an OO, ARRL held monthly Frequency
Measurement Tests, where W1AW would come on at a specific time
near a specified frequency, and stations would measure the exact
frequency and submit the measuremetns to HQ.
To become an Official Observer back then, you needed to show the
ability to measure that frequency accurately within a set of limits.
Current requirements are outlines on the ARRL web site at:
http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/org/oo.html. The frequency monitoring
tests are gone, but accurate receiving equipment is essential!
The FCC has made it clear that OOs are to be taken seriously. See
the item at: http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/1999/04/08/3/

A very interesting question. I can only make a few comments and list my own
favorites. Also, I'm not going to list any domestic only contests, since
Top 10 should in my mind be topten internationally (besides, I'm in W1 - we
can't win domestic contests - hi hi).
My favorites, in rough order (notice a CW bias :) - probably I should ignore
modes in this list?):
CQWW CW
IARU
ARRL CW
WPX CW
CQWW SSB
WPX SSB
ARRL SSB
CQWW 160 CW
ARRL 10m
Some other contests I've enjoyed playing in:
NAQSO party
CQ-M
Russian DX contest
And I'm sure I've missed something!

I didnt have time to reply to your initial inquiry, but I'm doing the same
thing you have done with very good success.
However, I bought the Dlink router that includes Wireless LAN and a
printer server port. I bought a Compact Flash Wireless card for my IPAQ
PDA and can now browse the web and email from my living room couch! hi!
It's plenty fast enough. Honestly, I dont use it very much, but it seemed
like such a cool thing I had to try it! hi!
There are security issues going wireless. Even though you can create an
encryption code that should limit access, I'm sure it's not totally
secure. I put the router in the basement and I live on a fairly large
piece of property, so my wireless LAN footprint probably doesnt extend
beyond my property line.
I did want to tell you that I have a 2.4 ghz cordless phone that is
definitely affected if you try to operate it within a few feet of a
Wireless LAN node or base. It comes across as an intermittent buzzing
noise that doesnt keep it from working, but it's definitely unpleasant.
Not sure about using a cellphone nearby, but havent noticed a problem with
that yet and my 900 mhz cordless phone is unaffected.

I agree completely with Tom.
I saw a couple of the notices last night. In both cases, the party receiving
the notice was operating at or above 14348.0. By definition, given the
bandwidth of SSB filters and the placement of the filters with respect to the
carrier, these signals were out of band.
I don't know what it is about our culture, but it seems to me that going 80
MPH in a 60 MPH zone is perfectly fine as long as you don't get caught, and
if you do, its because the cop is a jerk.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Contest Spots
Message-ID: <001c01c1caa0$f7ed80c0$5f20fccd@jvpcb01>
During the recent dustup over spotting, I decided to search the DX summit
database
for my call - just to see what might be on there. I am not an active
spotter - one time
I sent in a spot after working some DX, mainly just to see my call pop up on
the screen.
When I searched for NS3T, I found a second spot which was listed as if I
submitted it
during the ARRL DX SSB contest - the contact was with YP3A.
I got curious and decided to check out the spots involving YP3A from that
contest.
It is somewhat revealing.
There were forty unique calls involved with YP3A spots. All showed YP3A as
the DX.
I checked every single call in the same spot database to see if these
stations posted
spots on a regular basis - and half did so - familiar calls like W3LPL,
K1AR, W4MYA.
All seemed fine there. There was one cheerleader (N2GM) who spotted
YP3A a bunch of times - in each case on 15 meters...but that did not
interest me.
Remember, what got me into this was that my call (NS3T) was listed as
posting YP3A.
14 of the 40 spots for YP3A (35%) were by stations that had no spots during
2002, and
some of them had never posted a spot at all.
This is the list:
K4FWC 21246.5 YP3A YO1828 02 Mar 2002
K7LPK 21246.5 YP3A vy gud sig YO1844 02 Mar 2002
NS3T 21246.5 YP3A YO2010 02 Mar
2002
KJ7UO 21246.5 YP3A YO2050 02 Mar
2002
K1QK 21246.5 YP3A YO2052 02 Mar
2002
W1AMJ 21246.5 YP3A YO2100 02 Mar 2002
W4IMF 21246.5 YP3A YO2106 02 Mar 2002
W3ARS 21246.5 YP3A YO2126 02 Mar 2002
W0GHZ 21246.5 YP3A YO2130 02 Mar 2002
N1BFF 21246.5 YP3A YO2136 02 Mar
2002
K2EVY 21246.5 YP3A YO2144 02 Mar 2002
KA9ZLR 21246.5 YP3A YO2238 02 Mar 2002
KG4GNO 21246.5 YP3A YO2256 02 Mar 2002
Like I said - for all of these stations, this was their ONLY spot of the
entire
contest on the DX Summit database and for seven, the ONLY spots involving
their
calls for all of 2001 & 2002.
What's more interesting is that each spot is on the same frequency over a
several hour period. Others did spot YP3A during this time - a couple had a
slightly
different frequency posted.
What does it mean?
Does it mean that someone at YP3A was posting spots, under the guise of
someone else's call in the US? I am hesitant to accuse anyone of
wrongdoing.
Maybe some of these US stations made only one spot in the contest and
it happened to be YP3A.
All I know is, I did not spot YP3A - but someone submitted a spot under
my call....and the evidence shows I might not have been the only one.
Any thoughts from the contest community?

Dennis,
For most contesters this would be the top 8 not just 4.
{CQ WW, CQ WPX, ARRL DX, and ARRL SS are probably the "top 4"}
The IARU is pretty popular as is the WAE, AA, CQ-m(whatever it's called now)
and there are many QSO parties that are gaining popularity. It just depends
on your likes and dislikes.

You right, but perhaps they are just the most egregious example.
I mean, I remember reading an article about an Italian M/M effort writeup
in NCJ. The author went to great lengths to describe all the equipment
used. However, he failed to mention any of the Alpha amplifiers which
were clearly visible in the station photographs.
I mean, who are we fooling here?
W7OT and I used to joke about one contest write up about the Lampusesa
"300W" amplifiers. After much debate, we decided that "300W" referred to
the FILAMENT power....

Not at all. I'm all for the contest judges to start DQing and and all

Dennis that about covers it if you do both modes you have covered 8 contest.
I like some of the state QSO events. CA and FL to name 2. The problem for
some is that IARU, is in the summer and with nice WX it is not always easy
to set at the Radio when the sun is shining and its in the mid- 70's
outside and lots of yard work to keep the XYL happy with.
For those with children it is more difficult.

WB0WAO asks what are the best contests for a beginner to get his feet wet?
Any contest is practice...as far as "Domestic" Contests, I would say the
biggest are
SS
NAQP
NAS
and, of course there is the
FLORIDA QSO PARTY!
Florida works the world and you work Florida - including mobile running
helter skelter through the 67 Florida Counties...
Check out the website at:
http://www.qsl.net/fqp
It is a little over a month until the next running of the FQP, and the
Florida Contest Group is determined to activate all 67 of Florida's counties
once again...chasing the mobiles is a blast - we even have a spot on the
website giving tentative routes for the mobiles in case you are looking for
a specific county!
There is a great cover story in NCJ this issue by K8MR talking about
mobiling in contests...like the Sweepstakes there's always the desire to
"Sweep" all of Florida's 67 counties so you have that to look forward to.
We have had submissions from all over the world including some large ones
from Europe...it is a state QSO Party run by contesters so it is "snappy"!
In case anyone was wondering, FQP2K2 is on April 27 & 28...making it only
45 days until the Florida QSO Party!
Yes I am tooting our horn - but I think it is deservedly so - our State QSO
continues to grow in popularity year after year because it is contester
based...and since we as the fixed and mobile Floridians are your target QSOs
we appreciate the rates you give us - especially us Mobiles who get the rush
when we cross a county line...mobiles can feel like the rarest DXCC entity
for those first few minutes after crossing a county line...its fun!
Check out the website, the Florida Contest Group invites you to play in our
sandbox next month....more details to follow on an e-mail reflector near
you!

Am I blind, or naive?
I've been contesting for over 25 years, have operated from or at least
visited several of the best-known & most successful stations. (K4VX, K3LR,
N4ZZ, W0AIH, K4JNY (usually used with the W4PA call), W9YT in the 1970s,
among others)
The only place I have ever seen a power amplifier capable of more than 1.7kw
output is at work. (unfortunately the dual 50kw rig won't go below
66MHz and is only capable of A5 emission<G>)
Are there in fact contesters in the States running this kind of thing?
Judging from the operating ethics of a small number of operators it wouldn't
surprise me. But it's certainly nowhere near universal, or even common, at
least around here..

The SWR is not an issue. Overdriving is not an issue. The transceiver output is

No compression seems to help. A hand mic was substituted for the boom headset

If I was going to only operate 10 contests a year, they would be:
CQWW CW
CQWW SSB
NAQP CW (Jan)
NAQP SSB (Jan)
CW Sprint (Feb)
SSB Sprint (Feb)
ARRL 10m Contest
ARRL DX CW
CQP
IARU
Of course, I operate a lot more than 10 per year... :)
The Russian DX Contest is one of my favorites, but it never falls on the
right weekend for me. Also WPX SSB and ARRL SSB, but WPX CW is during prime
fishing season in Alaska, so I usually miss that.
They're all fun... do as many as you can!

The technical wizards out there will probably hammer me, but
it sounds as though a number of things could be going on. You
did not mention what rig you are using, and what you mean by
50 watts. BTW, my 91B usually runs with about 35w input
on CW.
It is possible that your exciter's internal ALC is not functioning,
allowing certain syllables to ramp and exceed the desired input
level. This can be a particular problem with some rigs when the
output is lowered to drive an amp, as with lower drive in the
exciter, alc may never be operating.
It also sounds like the loading on the amp might be a little light.
Try loading a little heavier and see if that calms things down a bit.
It's usually detection of grid current peaks that trip the overloads.
There is also the possibility that something in your antenna system
is breaking down on RF peaks.
This is the order in which I woukd attack the problem. If it is the
first one (depending on your rig type) you might have to run it at
rated power and swamp the input to the 91B.
Good Luck and 73

This has been seen before for other operations, some of them have been
traced back and summaries of results sent to contest organizers.
If the spots in question were entered from dxsummit (spotter call ends
with -@) the operators of dxsummit should be able to look up and compare
ip addresses of the originators to see if they were all the same. If
they came from a spotting node the sources could be traced and the sysop
asked to help if his node has logging capability like ar-cluster and
dxspider nodes do to get the ip addresses.

And to that I would add that creative marketing is part of what is makes up

Now if you really want to have fun with statistics and spots, analyze
this...
My database for this analysis goes back to 12/1/2001 and contains 256547
total spots. In arrl dx ssb my database has 24609 spots. Of those, 486
were made by spotters who only made one spot and that spot was during
the contest. Those 'unique' spotters spotted 313 different stations.
The recipients of more than 5 of these 'unique' spots were:
Dx count
PY2NDX 16
S53M 11
UA9YAB 10
PW0T 10
YP3A 9
JT1CO 9
5B4/R3CC 9
M0SDX 9
YL2LY 8
H7DX 7
SN8V 7
ZF2MM 7
This is not of course to cast any stones at those who show on the list.
I only offer it to show that maybe the spots of yp3a were coincidence...
but as was shown, at least one of those spots wasn't made by the person
who's call showed on it. The only way to tell for sure would be to take
the lists of spotters and find out if they made the spots or not.... if
anyone is really interested in tracing further contact me directly.
Btw, there are some interesting patterns. Including some that show a
high incidence of stateside spotters who's calls aren't in my latest
buckmaster database.

I noted on 40m during the ARRL DX SSB, where most contacts are split,
having to call on SSB down as low as 7025 made me feel a bit uncomfortable,
albeit still legal for us. It's kind of sad though, the only qrm down there
were illegal pirates. Generally its poor practice to use SSB below 7035 in
our region, but at least we don't encounter the OO style Stasi effect.
(off-subject, I'd recommend the book 'Stasiland' to see how bad it has been
in history).

Since K4OJ is doing such a good job of marketing the FQP, I hope that each time
you see a message from Jim (and others) encouraging activity in the FQP that
you also think about the New England QSO Party the following weekend.
Actually, since both Florida and the New England states have 67 counties, we

Ward,
You've given me some pause, since last year, I jokingly offered a "prize"
for anyone worked me on all 5 HF bands (I don't have 160 capability here)
during the CQ WPX. (And only one station, XA5T, got it... based on the
reaction from the QSL manager, I've been convinced that it wasn't worth
doing again). Although done in jest, it certainly wasn't my intention to
run afoul of the spirit, let alone letter, of the rules.
Yes, it's a grey area, and had I been more cognizant of that last year, I
probably wouldn't have made that offer.
But I wonder... is saying "if you happen to work us on all bands, we'll give
you a certificate" something that needs to be prohibited? I know that one
M/M V2 team did that last year in at least one contest, for example, but
considering the number of transmitters QRV during that M/M effort, I'd have
real doubts that it gathered them THAT many extra QSO's.
So offhand, I'd say that if a station offers something of little or no real
value, like a "worked on 6 bands" certificate, it should not be an ethical
violation. Let's not squeeze all the fun out of things. Something more
substansive, though, should be be prohibited -- in short, anything that
gives the appearance of "buying" contacts.

I believe the ARRL 10 Meter test gets the most entries of any ARRL contest,
but that's almost over for this decade because of the impending decline of
the sunspot cycle. I like the IARU because it is shorter and you can go
mixed mode if you like, plus this year it is combined with the World Radio
Team Championship. The CW Sprints (4 hours each, twice a year) are frantic
but lots of fun. WAE has lots of activity and the QTC feature adds a unique
dimension. The NA QSO Parties (twice a year in each mode) are also brief
and give you a chance to call your contesting compatriots by name, which I
find good fun, especially on phone.

It might not be correct to describe Italians as the most egregious example
of
running excessive power. Italians are frequently loud, and amplifiers
similar
to those used by the average DXer are probably important to this fact. But
if there were no 300W power limit in Italy then we would not be pointing an
accusing finger at Italy. A few other countries have similar power limits,
or
have had similar power limits in the past, which have been ignored to some
degree. I have frequently seen Heathkit SB200's, Collins 30L1's, etc., in
photos of stations in England, Canada, and Australia for instance. Japan
has "20W" limits that frequently are 200 to 2000W in practice. Italians do
not stand out in my memory as obvious cases of excessive power.

What a great weekend from the "little station that could", you know, the
station that "no one" thought about or considered in the scheme of things.
It just shows you, under the right set of circumstances, anyone or any station
can do superb things. It doesn't necessarily require tall towers, stacked
monobanders, multiple radios, and maximum brute-force power.
What it does require is hard, intelligent, and old-fashioned work thrown in
with the luxuries of packet spots and the like. I learned how to operate
without this "crutch" and have tried to instill those values to Mike and
whomever else that operates at K5NZ. We tuned the bands endlessly the entire
weekend, and I think the multiplier total we amassed from W5 proves that this
old fashioned hard work method of operating pays off.
We moved everything possible, we operated without regard for being tired, and
we encouraged each other throughout the weekend to keep pushing.
Above all, I'm extremely happy and proud to hand over the 5th District record
to Mike. Here's a guy who has done all the work himself, maintains the station
himself, and unselfishly offers the station to others to enjoy their hobby.
Mike, thanks for letting me be a part of this operation. This contest will live
in my memory forever, and there aren't that many that fall into this category.
I can think of only 2, now there are 3.
Thanks to everyone for all the Qs and the great time.
73,
Bill K5GA

NS3T noted that he "spotted" YP3A.
I've noticed that I from time to time make similar "spots".
I suspect these are Internet-originated & in the quest to have a quiet word
with the other "me", have attempted to contact those who run the OH9W
page, without luck.
I think I noticed K9PG "spotting" himself from ZF2MM in K5TR's recent
post, so I suspect there may be much more of this going on.

W9FQN introduced me to amateur radio by making me learn the code over the
weekend of field day, 1958. I got my novice license 6 weeks later and will
always treasure those early memories...one crystal at a time!

Message-ID: <OE57my332GzkHpISUX60000cb40@hotmail.com>
Hi gang !
I'm doing a talk on contesting for the Boulder ham youth group - a bunch of
very gung ho 8-17 year olds. Some of them already know the basics of
contesting - they have done FD, SS, a few hours of ARRL DX, etc.. For the
rest, this will be a bew experience.
Anyone have a set of PowerPoint slides they could share with me, to use as a
starting point for my talk ?
I'll be doing this talk on Saturday of WPX Phone at an excellent, HF-capable
QTH, so I intend to make this very interactive.
Thanks and 73,
Steve, N2IC/0

Message-ID: <20020314095147.47292.qmail@web13904.mail.yahoo.com>
Howdy all,
I've spent a lot of time reading the posts and absorbing all of the
information flowing (Nothing like getting 129 new Emails in a day!).
Incidently, I had dinner with Paul, K9PG the other night. We had a
long discussion about the string of posts on the reflector. Here's my
take on the subject:
In my mind, Paul is really smart. He figured that great contest scores
don't come from working all the big stations, but from all of the
additional smaller stations, or occassional contestors.
So, several years ago, Paul started going through his logs and sending
Emails to folks who worked him in the past and reminded them that "XYZ"
contest is coming up, and you've operated the contest in the past, so
please get on and make some QSOs this weekend...
This is something he's done for a while. Sometimes (in the case of
Sprints) it is very effective in generating more contest interest and
activity. Sometimes (as it was for ARRLDXSSB) it did not help much.
He only worked 44 stations of the 139 Emails he sent out.
Some DX stations love getting Paul's EMails. It's like a calendar
reminder of an upcoming contest. Some would have operated anyway, but
occassionaly he gets extra DX stations to get on and operate. This
benefits everyone.
Never has he asked them to "only work Me". His goal is to increase
activity for the contest in general.
Same goes for the SMC. I am amazed at how the SMC has evolved over the
last few years. 500 members, Wow! I truly believe much of their
success is due to Paul's bubbly enthusiasm for Contesting in general,
and it seems to rub off on other SMC'ers. These guys (+gals) actively
recruit new members, provide mentoring and support to new contesters,
and encourage competition and comeraderie. It sure looks like they
have fun doing it too. What a wonderful combination!
Personally, I think the only thing Paul is guilty of is a Passion for
Contesting.
I just wish he'd move to Texas. :-)

Very interesting, Jamie.
According to a QRZ search this morning, the first two spots:
> K4FWC 21246.5 YP3A YO1828 02 Mar 2002
> K7LPK 21246.5 YP3A vy gud sig YO1844 02 Mar 2002
are bogus calls, not even issued!
So, I would say you have something here.

Ron,
As one of the members of the "M/M V2 team" you refer to, which obviously is
V26B, I can say that it probably did make a very slight difference in our
score. My guess is that it's very small as this sort of thing appeals to a
small percentage of the ham population and we only get a handful of requests
for them. Your doubts are correct. We have done this for several years and
the same few people seem to go for the certificates year after year.
However, we did not ask anyone to solicit other QSOs for us or to spot us on
packet, or to do anything aside from themselves to look for us in the
contest. Also, we do not advertise this certificate on the air. This is
usually communicated via DX bulletins etc. well in advance. I would say
that it's something we don't think much about - especially during the
contest!
We have a few stations who do let us know during the contest that they are
working towards getting the 5-band, or 6-band certificates. Comments like,
"This makes 5 bands, where are you on 20?" happen frequently, but as I'm
sure anyone would imagine, it's really a small percentage of the time. It's
nice to hear that from others as they call in. They're having fun, and so
are we.
Now, if we were to attempt to plan some sort of scheme whereby we rewarded
those who spotted us the most, or something to that effect, we'd be guilty
of expanding the number of operators performing functions that gain our
operation qsos. This would in effect place operators for our operation well
outside the 500m circle (or whatever it is these days) and thereby we should
be disqualified.
The bottom line is that it's against the rules to ask people to spot you -
even before the contest. Letting others know you will be on the air is just
that - information.
73,
N5NJ / V26O
V26B operator

Aside - I suspect that having you station spotted may have as much or more
value in some contest than using spots. The notion of an assisted category
is a bogus notion unless it includes "being spotted" as well as "using

Leigh,
SB200s and equivalents are considered fairly small amplifiers in the UK
today. A pair of 3-500Zs are fairly standard, but more people are
moving over to 3CX800s/4CX800s.
I can think of a few good reasons for having an amplifier that will
produce more than the legal limit. Here in the UK our limit is 400W but
my amplifier (made by Linear Amp UK.... no connection etc etc, but can
be recommended....) is capable of much more than 400W. Why would I want
that you may ask.....
RTTY contesting which has got to be the most severe test of an amp!!
Even a TL922 gets quite warm running an RTTY contest at 400W (the power
supply gets warm). My amp runs really cool at the 400W level on RTTY so
there is much less chance of failure during a 48hr event. The last
thing I want 40 hours into the contest is amplifier failure!!!!!
Hopefully running the amp well within its limits will prevent failure.
If an amp can last through 48hrs of RTTY contesting, it should walk an
SSB or CW contest!
To get 400W out of my amp requires approximately 20W drive which in turn
means that the spurious outputs and other rubbish from the FT1000mp are
greatly reduced. So, with the radio running well within its limits and
the amplifier well within its limits, hopefully the spectral purity of
my signal will be that much cleaner. The recent discussion on OO
reports and out-of-band emissions when operating close to the band edge
should be a wake-up call here.....
Plus, if the UK ever raises its power limit, it's only a matter of
turning the drive up a little bit more to achieve the new level instead
of having to change the amplifier to remain competitive....

Say you are AA1AA and you want to spot DX0DX under identity of BB1BB:
You go like this.
dx/bb1bb 14000.00 dx0dx Contest
And the spot will appear as if it was posted by BB1BB. This works on
CLX based Cluster nodes. Dont know about others.

Message-ID: <GSYY5V$IDKrf_sFTmyDG_PG5FoJT_Z25Wi7noEq79aLDQ@iol.it>
Ten years ago, in an high band SB effort during an ARRL DX, there was
no problem to nearly double the first day QSOs number during the second
one, generally there was not enough time along 48 hours to log everyone
that was active, even running 6 or 8 per minutes for hours and hours.
In recent years this was not any more possible, and the second day
brought an average of half QSOs than the first day.
During the last ARRL DX ssb, in an SB 15m I hardly reached one third of
the first day with QSO number, in sunday.
In other words, the second day was mainly a ?dupe contact day? with
horrible rates and always the good same signals calling me back.
So much poor that for a while I thought to give up with such a pain.
Although the first day had excellent conditions with propagation, the
second one was not bad at all, good enough that ten years ago with the
same propagation and equipment I could have logged double than it
happened this year, I?m absolutely sure about this.
My question is: with nowadays bad trends, so much time compared with so
little correspondants, is it still a matter of best operators, I mean
fast and accurate, or we are along the way to favour average ones with
best setups, locations or peculiar conditions ?
Wouldn't be one day a more appropriate period lenght to have fun, rates
and beneficial to pull out the best ops ?

Bob,
If I left you with the impression that I objected to the certificate
practice (and I'm one of those who was quite glad to earn one), my
apologies. I may not have phrased that as well as I could have.
Something like the V26B certificates are fun, and should be, and I don't
have a problem with them. But as I tried to say, they don't neccesarily add
much if anything to your score; for example, I had a bunch of people that I
got on 4 bands during the ARRL DX, and I actively looked for most to make it
5 purely for my own sake (the exceptions being those EU stations I needed on
80 -- come Sunday afternoon, knowning I wasn't going to be on the last hour
or so, there's no way). And it was a lot of fun getting that 5th QSO
(except for one case where one stinker just had to spoil my fun, berating
me -- on air -- for not having 160, so I couldn't claim a "true" sweep, just
a modified one. Well, there's always someone...)
In any case, from what I've read and heard directly from K9PG, it may be
fair to say that some of the people who were spotting ZF2MM got a little
carried away. So if this is the case, a word to those responsible might be
sufficient, and I believe he's taking care of it. 'nuff said.

Ron,
As one of the members of the "M/M V2 team" you refer to, which obviously is
V26B, I can say that it probably did make a very slight difference in our
score. My guess is that it's very small as this sort of thing appeals to a
small percentage of the ham population and we only get a handful of requests
for them. Your doubts are correct. We have done this for several years and
the same few people seem to go for the certificates year after year.
However, we did not ask anyone to solicit other QSOs for us or to spot us on
packet, or to do anything aside from themselves to look for us in the
contest. Also, we do not advertise this certificate on the air. This is
usually communicated via DX bulletins etc. well in advance. I would say
that it's something we don't think much about - especially during the
contest!
We have a few stations who do let us know during the contest that they are
working towards getting the 5-band, or 6-band certificates. Comments like,
"This makes 5 bands, where are you on 20?" happen frequently, but as I'm
sure anyone would imagine, it's really a small percentage of the time. It's
nice to hear that from others as they call in. They're having fun, and so
are we.
Now, if we were to attempt to plan some sort of scheme whereby we rewarded
those who spotted us the most, or something to that effect, we'd be guilty
of expanding the number of operators performing functions that gain our
operation qsos. This would in effect place operators for our operation well
outside the 500m circle (or whatever it is these days) and thereby we should
be disqualified.
The bottom line is that it's against the rules to ask people to spot you -
even before the contest. Letting others know you will be on the air is just
that - information.

When I came back from Gitmo and Navassa in 1972,
I was invited to speak at the Southern California
DX Club in Los Angeles that fall.
The current CQ Magazine had just published an
Editorial by Jim Hathaway, lambasting high power
usage by hams, and stating he personally knew of
hams running in excess of 15,000 watts.
At that SCDXC meeting, during the new business,
a ham stood up and asked that the club should
censure Jim, for lying about W6's amplifiers,
because "Jim knows perfectly well hat I can't
get more than 13,800 watts out" and sat down.

Of course! I'm not suggesting that we all have to become monastic hermits
and conceal our identities with voice scramblers to submit single-op scores.
Is the certificate or QSL available to all callers? Has the solicitation
been widely advertised? In the case of encouraging activity, anything that
encourages others to be active and participate fairly and equally is a great
idea. K1XM and KQ1F are well-known for their beautiful photo QSLs and many
operators make a point to contact them for "this year's" models. But they
certainly don't say, "work only us", and the resulting activity benefits all
competitors - good for them!
The shoe can sometimes be on the other foot. Conversely (pun intended), a
single-op with a bad reputation for QSLing can also create disincentives to
make QSOs, for example.
Here is a personal example of my own... I was at one time considering
sponsoring a NW regional "SS Sprint" that would be a three-hour competition
for WA, OR, ID, BC, etc. stations on 40 and 80 between 9 PM and midnight.
The idea was to increase activity on the low bands by stations that
otherwise would not be active and counteract some of the advantage on those
bands enjoyed by the 1-2-3-4-5 districts. After some consideration, it just
seemed too much like stocking the pond with local ops unlikely to work much
outside the region and I let the idea drop. Now maybe the idea of the
three-hour nighttime category for all entrants would be a good idea.
Anyway, you get the idea - it would facilitate the making of QSOs that were
likely to be unavailable to others.
We will not all make the same determination of appropriateness in all cases.
However, the awareness that there IS an issue to be considered will improve
the sport and quality of competition.

So what constitutes "substantive"? Is a bottle of Maderia wine for working

where the top out-of-state scores receive a bottle of CA wine. Do you
disqualify the entire contest for that? I must confess I did not declare it
on my tax return. How about a tee-shirt for working 100 Italians (running
only 300 watts of course) in the WAIP Contest? Maybe we should do away with

Actually, running a 1.5 KW amplifier at 400 W will generate lots of
heat, unless the amplifier can be loaded very lightly, a tricky thing
on SSB, and probably impossible on 80 and 160. If you load a 1.5 KW
amplifier normally, then reduce the drive to 400 W output, the tubes
dissipate about as much power as at full output, though the power
supply does not. Running a TL922 in the low voltage position helps,
but it still won't be efficient at normal loading. To efficiently
run a 1.5 KW amplifier at 400 W with the normal loading capacitance
and drive power, the plate voltage would have to be reduced to about
half the normal value.

Another interesting tidbit in the ZF2MM (vs. 8P5A) packet saga. If one

packet to make life difficult for a contest DXpedition.
For example, I happened to be tuning across 8P5A when a packet spot
for AP5A hit the screen. All of a sudden, poor Tom was inundated with
dupes ruining a perfectly good run. I'm sure the busted spot was not

My first note raised questions about why my call (NS3T)
had been found as "spotting" YP3A during a recent contest.
It prompted a number of responses and led to some further
investigation, albeit on a very limited basis.
K1TTT ran the database of the spots from DX summit for
the two ARRL DX contests, focusing on spots that came
from "unique" calls - meaning that station only spotted one
DX station during the entire contest.
I quickly reviewed spot data for only three stations, simply
because they had come out on top of K1TTT's review:
PY2NDX, S53M and UA9YAB.
PY2NDX had over 40 spots during the ARRL SSB contest.
Three of the calls are not active.

WB0YUI 21306.0 PY2NDX PY0051 02 Mar 2002
WB2GHJ 21408.6 PY2NDX PY2233 02 Mar 2002
What is interesting is that W8GKL and WB0YUI were the
first two spots for PY2NDX for the contest, both in the first hour.
and both from calls that are not active.
S53M is a different animal. I did not find any bad US calls,
but there were a number of spots from foreign DX during
the contest, including several with S5 calls. There were also
an inordinate number of spots by W3LPL.
UA9YAB raises many more questions. In the ARRL CW
contest, there were not that many spots:
N7UJZ 28092.9 UA9YAB arrl UA90144 16 Feb 2002
W6AGH 28093.9 UA9YAB UA90234 16 Feb 2002

K1NU 28152.4 UA9YAB UA91351 17 Feb 2002
Four of the calls had only one spot during the contest: the first two,
N7UJZ, W6AGH along with W7WAS and KK1S. All are active.
In the ARRL DX, UA9YAB had 13 unique spots.
N7UJX 28444.0 UA9YAB UA90123 02 Mar 2002
KC7WL 28505.0 UA9YAB UA90149 02 Mar 2002

K5TXZ 28434.0 UA9YAB UA91336 03 Mar 2002
If you notice, the first two spots of both contests were uniques - and the
first call was almost identical, N7UJZ (CW) - N7UJX (SSB).
BUT..what raises more questions is that the following calls did not show
up when I checked the FCC database:
W7YCB, W6TGM, W0WSX, K1WSC, K7YUH, W1MUZ, W1TOS,
K5TCX, K5TXZ. None of those are listed as active.
Add to all that the following two spots by UA9YAB:
UA9YAB-@ 28555.8 UA9YAB cq for sked with vo2wl 1524 02 Mar 2002
UA9YAB 3788.0 UA9YAB cq arrl QSX3812.0 UA91207 03 Mar 2002
I invite more hams to check to see if their calls have "spotted" stations
during contests. VR2BG pointed out that somehow ZF2MM had
spots made by his own call K9PG. I checked, and there were
four of those. He didn't do that - but someone else did.
All of this information was gathered from the DX Summit database
search.

I personally would REALLY support the idea to shut down all the DX clusters
during major contests.
Maybe we should give it a try (let say - at WRTC -2002) ? :-))

Might I point out that my intention while writing was not to find fault with
the operators
in the UK, Canada, etc. My personal views on the use of amplifiers in the
countries
that do not allow 1500W PEP output as the USA does could probably be
interpreted
as being considerably more liberal than the views of the governments within
those
countries. I'd frankly like to see a level playing field in contests on an
international
basis encouraged both within the rules and regulations of governments and
contest
sponsors. For instance, I often wonder about the senselessness of rules
that dictate
that a contact between a station in Rome and in the Vatican is one point in
the
CQWW, while a contact between two distant points in the United States, or
two
similarly distant points within Russia, China, Australia, etc., count as
zero points,
even when they are not in the same CQ zone. No, I don't find fault with the
CQWW
organizers for staying with a winning formula.
I simply have a more cosmopolitan viewpoint regarding amateur radio contacts
and their relative merits than the viewpoints that are held by DXer's in
general who
hold great pride in their country totals that, after all, are based
primarily on boundaries
that are merely political. I sense that political boundaries may be less
important in
the distant future, and differing power limits across borders must surely
pass in the
future as well. I'd also like to see the privileges of licensed amateur
operator's
defended as if they were rights to some degree. Being victimized by local
city
government's rules and regulations that violate the spirit of PRB-1 (yes, I
realize that
this is only the rule of law in the US) has made me quite strongly aware
that
governments abuse authority and violate the rights and privileges of amateur
radio
operators to a much greater degree than the population in general.
In defense against abuse of amateur radio privileges by governments, I'd
also
like to suggest that anyone who reads this and has the ability to should
familiarize
themselves with the proceedings between the FCC and two former amateur radio
operators -- Herbert Schoenbohm and Kevin Mitnick. Yes, I realize that this
does
not seem on first glimpse to be an international issue. However, I believe
that it
truly is... In the case of Herbert Schoenbohm there may be something that
each
of us can do to advance our own personal views on the subject. Neither of
these
two are personal friends of mine, but I believe they are on the front lines
fighting
the battle against governmental abuse of power against amateur radio
operators
and very much defending my own personal rights. And, there may be something
that many outside of the US as well as inside can do in their support.

CQ VK contesters,
I'm going to be in Australia from 27th March until 18th April touring
around the country. Are there any contesters out there that would like
to down a few VBs and exchange a few 'war' stories? I'll be starting in
Sydney but after that is still in the planning stages.....
I don't suppose there are any multi-op efforts around the Sydney area
for the CQ WPX SSB contest that needs an extra operator?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] more fun with spot statistics
Message-ID: <000f01c1cbc0$4d936830$0200a8c0@k1ttt1>
While we were talking about spotters who only made one spot in the whole
contest there was a mention of stations who spotted the same station
many times. Well for the ARRL DX SSB test I went through the database
and came up with these numbers:
Spotter Dx times spotted
HA5IW HA5KDQ 42
W3LPL VP5A 19
W3LPL 9A1A 19
KF2ZG ON7DR 18
N9US ZF2MM 17
W3LPL 9A7A 15
K6PFF UA9UHD 13
EA2TJ EA2URE 13
RK3QWA 5B4/R3CC 13
G0MOK NY6DX 12
HB9CQL HB9DSO 12
PA9JP PI4ZOD 12
UA9KGH RK9KWB 12
AE9B RX3RC 11
W3LPL RU1A 11
W3LPL OH5LF 11
WC4I VP5B 11
K4JA-4 9A7A 10
RM6A KC1XX 10
W3LPL ZF2MM 10
W3LPL LY7Z 10
W3LPL EA8ZS 10
W3LPL OM7M 10
W3LPL DL6RAI 10
W3LPL OH4A 10
What do these tell us??
First, W3LPL makes a lot of spots!
Second, stations that cq a lot get spotted a lot.
Third, stations that spot one other station a lot more than anyone else
stick out like a sore thumb.
To make the first line more interesting, consider the following:
HA5IW also spotted 2 other stations, once each
HA5KDQ was spotted by 5 other station, once each
For all of you who are now ready to lynch ha5iw, and are wondering who
in the world ha5kdq is... note that all those spots were on vhf or uhf
bands, apparently in some European vhf/uhf contest. (same for the
groups of spots for ea2ure, hb9dso, and pi4zod)
Which brings up the fourth point... you can prove anything with
statistics taken out of context.

"or have had similar power limits in the past"
There was a time that the power limits in Canada were significantly
lower
than the US limits. Note that I am not pointing an acusing finger at
Canadians
regarding this, but defending the Italians as being in line with the
worldwide
trends. I didn't see the lower Canadian power limits in the past as
reasonable,
nor do I view lower power limits in other countries as reasonable.
I'd
prefer to see consistent power limits worldwide, just as I'd prefer to
see
an end to human rights abuses by governments worldwide, and I'm
willing
to be outspoken about it.

Hmmm, well I was way bored at work :-) so I decided to do the same. This is
what I found:
DX-SUMMIT Spot Database:
WB0WAO-@ 28388.1 UA3AGW ARRL vy loud 1359 03 Mar 2002
WB0WAO 14239.0 YO4RUI YO0400 11 Mar 2002
To say the least, I was quite suprised! The YO spot I DID make a few days
ago at the stations request, but the UA3 spot I did not make!!!!! I did
work that station at 1357 on 10m on the 3rd during the contest, but I could
not have made the spot - the 'puter in the shack is not online! It runs WFW
3.11 and is not internet "capable". The ONLY way I can get online from home
is with my WebTV (forgive me!) that is in the living room. To check DX
Summit or to make a post, I have to get up and go to the living room, turn
on the WebTV, log on, etc. I have for obvious reasons, not made many spots
at all! Sometimes I do go check DX Summit, make a few notes and then get on
the air, but never during the 'tests. So, the bottom line is that someone
"bootlegged" my call on the cluster as well!

Not a chance of that happening. Just think, the original purpose of dx
clusters was for contest spotting! I had to work hard to convince the
first few sysops to keep them on the air between contests so the
frequencies(they were all rf connected at that time of course) were kept
occupied and users could learn how to use them before contests... after
that features like qsl databases, mail, and other nice dx'ing features
were adopted by the weekday non-contest users.

While being a contester myself and usually using the cluster during contest
and entering the appropriate category, I still will maintain that the sun
does not revolve around contesters. There are other amateurs besides
contesters who use the DX clusters.

Yuri:
Who are you going to get to operate the Cluster nodes if they have to be
shut down during contests? It takes a lot of time, money, effort,
dedication, and, often, a big tower, to operate a cluster node. Many of
these are at stations which enter contests in multi-operator or
single-operator-assisted categories. Why? Because they built the nodes to
help them get spots sooner, and to enhance the capacity of the network by
adding nodes which accomodate more users without overloading the existing
nodes.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: The DX Cluster network
primarily exists to provide spots during contests. I'm not talking about
what most users use it for. I'm talking about what the node builders built
the nodes for. If the message from the contest community is that the
cluster system is not wanted during contests, then in a few years there
won't be a system at all, except over the internet.
I think that by having different categories that everyone can choose among
depending on their taste, we have approximated a level playing field as to
spotting assistance. Yes, that doesn't eliminate "packet pilups" on
non-assisted DX stations, but I can think of a lot of things that are
different from 20-30 years ago, and most of them are for the better. Packet
may be inconvenient for those who choose not to use it, but I can't think of
a better way to reduce overall activity than by eliminating it altogether.
(Unless we really want to discourage all the casual DX'ers who make a couple
hundred QSO's in each contest just by finding new band-countries on packet.)

I don't think this is a viable solution especially given the fact that some
clusters are private. The only thing that makes sense is to "eliminate" the
assisted class. After all, as many other have pointed out, when we moved
from hand keys and bugs to keyers -especially those with a memory - we did
not create an assisted class. And when we moved from separate rx/tx to
transceivers and no longer had to zero beat we did not create an assisted
class. For reasons that are beyond my comprehension ( and maybe someone can
fill in some history) cluster spots are perceived as assisted and not simply
a technology change. I suspect, the origins of this idea are rooted in the
concept of the spotting station in the M/M class -- I suggest that it is not
the same. It is obvious that the notion of the assisted class has to be
revisited - BUT how do we convince the power that be to re-examine this
issue? Now there is the question :)

1. Is a bottle of Maderia wine for working an individual station on all
bands excessive? Unless it's really cheap wine, and it doesn't sound like
it, yes, I'd think so.
2. Is a bottle of California wine to the top out-of-state scores for the Ca
QSO Party excessive? No -- and not relevant to an individual station
offering an out-of-the-ordinary benefit for working them. This is offered
by the sponsors of the contest, and is an incentive for OOS stations as a
whole to operate -- not to contact one station in particular. And how does
one disqualify an entire contest, anyway?
3. A T-shirt for working 100 Italian stations in the WAIP? Again, if this
is being offered by the contest organizers, not relevant.
4. Dayton prizes, Yaesu hats, and Kenwood logbooks? Oh, c'mon, that's not

So what constitutes "substantive"? Is a bottle of Maderia wine for working

where the top out-of-state scores receive a bottle of CA wine. Do you
disqualify the entire contest for that? I must confess I did not declare it

Well, that was interesting.
Got six responses in private email, only one went to the reflector.
(actually it was a copy of one of the six sent privately)
One other op had also never seen an excessively-large amp & didn't believe
any were in operation in his area. However, others in the same area were
certain that such amps *were* in use.
Powers between 3 and 15 kilowatts were cited. Several responses indicated
they knew of people running overpower but that those people weren't
contesters. Some, however, did know of overpower contesters, past and/or
present. Nobody admitted to using excessive power themselves...
Now I'm not concerned about amps capable of reasonable headroom. Can you
make 2-2.5kw? That's reasonable. (of course, we expect that you actually
*operate* it at 1.5kw) Similarly, something capable of 500-600w at an I or
G station where the legal limit is 300-400w is not a big deal. To be
literal, there's really nothing wrong with having a 15kw amp as long as
you're letting it loaf at legal power. (regulations may differ in your
country!)
Heck, I used an IC-765 in the QRP category in ARRL DX - it's capable of 20x
the legal power in that category - you have to take my word for it it was
cranked down to 5 watts..

they were not self spots, just one station spotting another one lots of
times. This is fairly common even over here on some vhf/uhf bands,
since I am pretty far from a big city I hear the same stations over and
over on some bands so that is all I have to spot.

Then... why are you guys copmlaining?
Have what you have -
self-spotting and crazy pile-ups on DX frequency after every spot.
Or try to find a way to catch those cheaters.
Just MHO.

I have a FL-2100B here, and after a few hours in a RTTY contest,
it used to get so hot (running 250 watts)the power would start to
drop off. I found a couple of old computer power supply fans and
set them on top of the amp, and now it runs cool throughout the
entire contest. Cheap fix.

It seems funny that we got along for YEARS without PacketCluster
and now for some reason, if we didn't have it, contesting would
come to a screeching halt. Geez!!

Unfortunately this is not the case but it is not known to many hams!
100 W radio uses 200 W pair of transistors which exibit minimum distortion
levels at half power output.
Spurious transmitter products increase at both lower and higher RF power
levels.
20 W of RF drive is very close to transistors idle DC dissipation and clean
RF output can only be achieved in class A only offered by FT1000MP MK-V
radio.

Hello all
On behalf of all the participants in the Wisconsin QSO party I'd like to
thank all the stations in Wisconsin, the US, Canada, and DX stations who
got on to provide some contacts. I noted many well known calls from all
over spending at least some time in the contest. DX activity seemed to be
at a high at least for me. I operated from 3 counties Sawyer (fixed), and
Price and Rusk mobile. Hence I have two seperate entries. The story behind
this is a power failure at my cabin. I worked HA0DU and LY3BA from all 3
counties, G4KHG and OK2EC from 2, and EA8AKN, EI4IS, HB9DAD, OZ8ABE,
DL6KVA, G3WPF and HA2AC from one. Thank you all very much.
Logs to West Allis Amateur Radio Club

I do not belong to the club or have anything to do with running the
contest. I'm just a happy participant.
See you next year !!

Russian DX contest starts in 4 hours from now. See the details and results
on www.rdxc.org
According to the statistics on that site there were 6500 participants and
over 1200 logs sent last year. The yearly increase inthe number of
participants is about 25%. There are very few contests that can boast over
1000 logs sent. Hope this year there will be more participants from North
America.
See you in the contest. We will be MS as RF9C on all bands.

How do you know HA5IW wasn?t the op off HA5KDQ? I have noticed
specially during VHF/UHF contests that op?s of club stations logs in to
the cluster with the personal call sign and then spot the club call.

Yes correct. If this happens during a contest it should be up to the
contest sponsors to do something about it, i e enforce rules etc, but
so far as far as I know they simply ignore it.
By the same token stations that are splattering or have excessive
key clicks should also be DQ?d by the contest sponsors since they
sabatoge for other competitors but ofcourse nothing is done.
Things like this has made me loose intesrest in contesting, it?s not
skill that pays off any more just money and sharp elbows and a behaviour
that doesn?t promote the old saying "hamradio for international friendship",
it?s sad but IMO it?s a fact.

Don't usually rise on these, but isn't it time that we STOP calling
people names who do work for FREE organizing these contests.
The weekends are fairly well packed and do not move their slot from
year to year. If you knew anything about Easter, you would know that
it never falls on the same Sunday from year to year. It follows the
Jewish festival of Passover, which is timed on a lunar calendar.
Furthermore, Christianity is hardly the religion of a majority of the
world populace.
All of which may explain why nobody except you brought it up.
Guy.

looking at those spotting stats, the VP5 or the 9A1 spotts from W3LPL with
19 or each. Most likely it was probably 2 spots per band on each and most
likely spotted the first time they turned up tht day.
Those stations lucky enuff to enjoy the luxury of having a "mult spotter" are
making most of these stations and not the run station.
all spots appreciated however

There are plenty of Muslims, Jews, Hindi, and others that do not
celebrate Easter.
Of course, for me, having WPX SSB on Easter weekend means only a
part-time effort is possible....

I think you misread the post.
1) What does it mean to you when I say >>ALL OF WHICH<< ? Would that
not be ALL of the points above, ALL of the points taken TOGETHER,
including the ones you didn't quote?
2) Christianity IS a minority religion. Miniscule presence in China, a
very minor presence in India/Pakistan, or the Arab-speaking world, all
those easily accounting for a majority of the world population.
Christian holidays are NOT universally celebrated around the world.
And even among Christians, different churches do not all celebrate
Easter or Christmas on the same day.
WPX is a world-wide contest. I am sure there are other contests that
fall on important feasts/holidays in other countries. It would be
impossible to avoid all holidays everywhere. why are ours any more
important than anybody else's?
The cheap shot belongs to the original poster.

But there are plenty of locales, where as a vestigial artifact of
colonialism the four day weekend is still a secular holiday even though it
may not have any particular significance to a majority of the citizenry as
a religious celebration.
As a consequence of the coincidence this year, participants will find
either: (a) they have more time to devote to WPX than in other years; (b)
they have less time to devote to WPX than in other years; (c) they have the
same amount of time to devote to WPX as in other years.
It's going to help out some and hurts others; leaving things alone is not
necessarily an unenlightened or uninformed decision.

Just to set the record straight, Christianity is by far the
religion of choice for most of Europe, North America and South America.
It also represents 33% of religious adherents worldwide.
http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html
Given Christianity's predominance in NA and EU where contesters are most
populous, I'm quite certain it IS the religion of the vast majority of
worldwide contest participants.
Sometimes we do choose priorities in life other than contests
which is very healthy in my opinion. I also choose to celebrate
my Wedding Anniversary rather than the CQ WW CW when it falls on
November 27, but that is a personal choice...as is observance of Easter.
There is little doubt in my mind that holding the WPX SSB on Easter
Weekend (also Jewish Passover) hurts overall participation but that is
CQ's choice and one can hardly argue with their logic of always keeping
the WPX SSB on the last full weekend of March.

We had to compensate for the slipless night so most of the scores from
Russiand will show up later.
At RF9C we made this year around 2860 QSO for the total score of 8,7 million
points.
Unfortunately the propogation on Sunday was not as good as on Friday. That
is why it seemed like there were very few NA stations participating. Noted
anyway that several (like N2NT, K3WW and some others) had well over 1000 QSO
after the first 12 hours of the contest. Hopefully it was enjoible for all
those who took part seriously.

FYI, from my Religion 101 class:
Religion: % of World Population:
Christian 32.4
Muslim 17.1
Hindu 13.5
Buddhist 6.2
Jewish 0.4
Technically speaking, there is no "majority" world religion as no single
one has a percentage greater than 50%. But while Christianity many not
be a majority religion, it is the largest and I'de bet that it is the
majority religion of world contesters, with most contesters living in
the U.S. and Europe, both hot spots for Christianity.

Might it be possible to slide this religious tripe into the same pot as
politics, and away from ham radio contesting ?
About the only connect I can make between religion and ham radio is that
the religious TV channels are a good reason for TVI to continue.
Beyond that, I for one could care less about religion, or any similar opiate.
Now then, if you have some thoughts on how to come back to Earth in second

otherwise...........
Can we get back to a more base stupidity.

I would suggest that if everyone's score goes down 32.4%, then
the scheduling of WPX was a problem.
If scores don't go down, it's not.

This thread demonstrates once again that there is very little we "can't"
argue about.
The stats about adherence, however, are skewed: they don't include those who
choose not to be religious.
Be that as it may: Given that religions typically use different calendars
than the rest of us in setting dates for religious observance (except that
most commercial of all holidays, Christmas,) and the resulting "floating" of
holiday dates, I don't believe it is possible to design a contest calendar
that:
1. is predictable year in and year out.
2. doesn't result in conflicts certain years.
3. follows the Gregorian calendar (indisputably the most widely followed
calendar).
Unless you want to put the contest calendar on the Julian system. Which
would mean you'd NEVER know when a contest is supposed to be held.
So instead of calling people stupid, perhaps we could just accept that some
decisions are unavoidable. And perhaps we could accept that "our" take on
the world isn't necessarily everyone else's.

Thanks all for the info on the most "popular" 'tests. And TNX to Igor,
UA9CDC, for the info on the RDXC 'test. Had a great time and will do it
again next year!!
Now my NEXT question is about logging software...
I take it there are 3 "main" ones - CT, NA, and TR. I am running a 486
166MHz 'puter with either DOS or Windows For Workgroups 3.11 - nope, no
WIN 9x - and seriously doubt that I will be using rig to 'puter or rotor
control interfaces. I will probably use the CW interface when my CW
gets up to "contest speed". There is no packet cluster up here in this
area of Michigan - "Up North" - as of yet, but who knows someday there
may be? I have a couple of these 'puters, and may want to network them
together as the YL wants to operate in contests as well when she
upgrades as a multi/multi or multi/2R. Also, no CD-ROM drive on the
'puters either.
So, taking all of the above into account, what would be the group's
suggestion on the "best" one of the 3 for me to use? I am kinda leaning
to NA as it seems to be the most "inexpensive" and has the capability to
allow me to create templates for contests.
See you all in CQWPX! Have to work the night of the 31st, but should
get in a decent amount of time in the beginning of the 'test.

Are they?
I mean, if you've crossed the line at 300 watts, why stop at 1.5 kW? Why
not go to 3 kW, or 10 kW? After all, if you're breaking the rules, you
might as well break them good, right?

If Italy had a 1.5 kW power limit, I'm sure there would also be less
excessive power use (beyond 1.5 kW), period. If you haven't crossed the
line, there's less of a temptation to go for excessive power.
>Italians do not stand out in my memory as obvious cases of excessive power.

I wonder if we need smarter spotting software.
Why couldn't the software keep track of the last 30 minutes or so of
spots, and then inhibit spotting of a station if it was spotted already?
That way, you could spot every station you worked while S & P. The
software would filter out the duplicate spots. That way, there'd be much
less conjestion in the spotting networks, since there would be a lot
fewer duplicate spots and a lot more unique ones.
--
My experience with spotting comes from NQ4I's M/M station. To keep the
packet window clear, I'll often delete spots that aren't applicable. Like
a spot for K3LR or W3LPL. I can't work them anyway. It's somewhat
annoying to see spots like this pop back up. If duplicates were filtered
out at origination, then we'd likely only see a spot every 30 minutes or
so.
Of course, this wouldn't help fix the spots with busted calls for
stations I've already worked. For that I need a button that says, "Ignore
spots for this station". (This would fix the K3LR or W3LPL situation)

"White Out" will solve this first problem.

"Windex" will solve this new problem #3 created by solutions to 1 & 2.
That's the way we used to do it, as I recall, before the days of all these

Might it be possible to slide this religious tripe into the same pot as

About the only connect I can make between religion and ham radio is that
the religious TV channels are a good reason for TVI to continue.
Beyond that, I for one could care less about religion, or any similar

Now then, if you have some thoughts on how to come back to Earth in second

Writelog traps callouts in its band-scope window, doesn't reflect duplicates,
and drops spots out after a user specified interval. Not necessary to even
LOOK at packet, just point and click on the color coded callsign on the
bandmap. You can tell needed mults from unworked stations, and you can see
dupes.
Of course, it can't be responsible for the myriad of miscopied calls, and
typos that are committed. Fortunately, one can filter out BUST/callsign at
the node!

It does not offer the needed pipes and whistles for mulitistation /

These days, most people would also include WriteLog as one of the
most popular contest logging programs. SD is also very popular in Europe.
You can read a review of contest logging software by G3CWI at:
http://www.qsl.net/g3cwi/contest.html
It is over a year old, so some details may be slightly out of date
(for instance, TR now has some very minimal RTTY support.)

I have found the spots from both of these stations to be useful and am

We use DX Telnet as the spot sucker for a CT network...I know it has

I am still baffled though why you just do not have the spots showing that
you need from CT's filters....in band map format with an interfaced
transceiver you can zip up and down the band and take advantage of whatever
CT filter option you are using - typically on day 1 all our rigs are set to
new mult by this band only....by the end of the contest it is new qso by

Uh, Jim you mis-interepreted me.
I was speaking of spots *OF* K3LR or W3LPL. Not spots of other stations
FROM K3LR or W3LPL.
In CQWW, I can't work K3LR or W3LPL for credit from the US. (OK, it could
be a multiplier, but I'm likely to get that anyway)
On the other hand, I'm very happy to receive spots from K3LR or W3LPL.

Come to think of it, the last couple of times at NQ4I's, the internet
packet gateway was set to filter USA stations.

I do that.

The band map is nice, but it takes up a lot of screen space.

At a M/M, you'll have it set for stuff for this band only. I'll flip back
and forth between mults only or new QSOs only, depending on conditions
and my mood.
I can think of three reasons to delete a spot:
* I've already listened and I can't hear the DX.
* Spot is a busted callsign of a station I've already worked.
* Spot is otherwise superfluous (eg a "called-in" spot)
I end up deleting a lot of spots in the course of a contest....

I have been reading the discussion for a while,
for my knowledge, and if look through certain
webpages, I find amplifiers capable of excessive power
all over the world.
The reason why stations from Italy are louder in the states then other
Europeans are simply the better location.
They work stations with good reports I can barely hear
in northern-germany.
This phenomena already excists within Germany if one compares signals between
north- and south locations.

Message-ID: <025c01c1cee1$3e9a0810$934afea9@TL01>
Hello everyone. The recent discussions and belly-aching about Easter and
also that European RTTY contest butting heads with the Sprint got me to
thinking.
As unpleasant as the thought might seem, I predict contest consolidation is
in our future in some form or another. I would like to throw out the
question "what are the pros and cons of combining/eliminating certain
events?" I think we'll be better off down the road if we have kicked it
around much like we used to kick around the idea of using computers to log
with.
As a hypothetical for-instance, imagine getting all the sponsors of state
QSO parties to agree to hold their annual QSO parties during the exact same
period (and of course standardizing the exchanges). I can think of good
reasons to do this:
1. less clutter in the calendar
2. tons of activity
I can also imagine a lot of sacred cows being turned to hamburger. But
let's say it could be pulled off in grand fashion? That would be one heck
of an event. Could it be positive?
What is the downside?
Was this discussed already at a time when I was not paying attention?

I am getting it now....
So, if you had a "domestic"filter option to hide the W spots you would
prefer that....and
I also gather that you would like to have an option to limit the amount of
time a posting stays in the bandmap....
That is a whole different nut - seems like the software should be able to be
readily adapted as far as time showing for a spot...would recommend you go
to a dedicated reflector for the software you are using...i.e. NA Reflector
or CT Reflector and go from there.
73, now I understand your dilemma!
By the way did you know that it is only 40 days until the
Florida QSO Party....

Comments:
Friday afternoon @ 3 PM the station was ready, I was ready and cndx sounded
great. I was psyched! 6PM when I got up from my nap, I had chills, a bad
headache with 102 fever and lots of gunk in my chest. I had gotten my
daughters FLU! I knew I was in trouble because the SOABHP category is
extremely competitive and a real endurance event. If you are very sick, you
have almost no chance at winning.
I knew it was a race against time and I decided to take my offtime at 02z
on Sunday. I hoped that I could tough out those 26 hours until the
antibiotic, cough medicine and ibuprofen could take effect.
I had a BLAZING start on 40 with 94 q's by 0030 and 126 q's @ 0040 and I
entertained thoughts that I could make it to the end and break my record.
I started SO2R to keep up the rate and finished with a 167 first hour, but I
was fading very fast. By 0130 my fever was up to 103 degrees and when I
coughed it felt like someone was stabbing me in the head. I operated most
of the next hour wearing a parka and wrapped in a blanket with my head on the
operating desk.
Over the next 8 hours, whenever the chills and fever lessened I would try
SO2R but usually after about 5 minutes I was back to one radio without
tuning. I just didn't have any energy and the discomfort was intense.
When you are sick, you really notice just how draining SO2R can be!
Cndx seemed fabulous the first night, but then the bands seemed to fade about
14Z on Saturday. I had a lot of trouble keeping my concentration and keeping
up the rate. In one respect, doing very little SO2R made it easier to
concentrate on running, but I just couldn't stay focused and awake.
By 19z, I was just trying desperately to make it to my 02z planned offtime,
but the fever wouldn't diminish and the cough/chills were taking their toll.
I went to 40 @ 22z and had a decent hour (115) with a few LP JA's but then
the hallucinations started on top of everything else. Since I have not
had any contest hallucinations since the '87 ARRLCW, I knew that my body
simply couldn't take anymore and it was time to quit. I staggered upstairs
at about 0030z and slept until about 15z on Sunday.
I had 2891/356 at 00z which I was thrilled with under the circumstances.
I hadn't passed many guys to other bands nor actively tuned for much of the
contest with the 2nd radio, but despite that I was still on a record pace.
I felt a little better on Sunday (after 14 hours of sleep!) and operated
wrapped in a blanket. I just couldn't get anything going on Sunday and it
was still too difficult to actively tune much with the 2nd radio. Late in
the afternoon, the medicine started to help and I began passing guys and
actively tuning. This was becoming fun, but it was not the kind of
competitive effort that I had hoped for.
After the contest, I mentioned to Barbara, my XYL, that in the '93ARRLCW
I drove 270 miles with the flu and earaches to operate at KM1H when I was
even sicker. I operated 43 hours in that one and came in second, but needed
two days to recover before I could drive home. Barbara told me I was 9
years younger then and pretty foolish. She was right. I didn't feel too
proud after that!
Thanks to everyone for the q's and the QSY's and congratulations to W4PA
on his victory and to W9RE, N2IC, K9NS and others for their great scores.
Despite everything, I had a lot of fun and look forward to the 2003 ARRLCW!

Message-ID: <005e01c1ceec$751dde60$3829fea9@CATDISH>
The sixth annual Ontario QSO Party will take place on the
weekend of April 20-21st starting at 18:00 UTC on the
Saturday to 18:00 UTC on the Sunday. This contest
is sponsored by the Ontario DX Association.
The "OQP" is Canada's third largest amateur radio
contest! VE3/VA3 stations work everyone, while
stations outside Ontario chase VE3/VA3-land stations.
The contest takes place on all HF bands (except WARC)
both ssb and CW, along with the VHF/UHF bands.
There will again be plenty of multi-county "mobile" and
"rover" activity. There are 48 Ontario multipliers to
chase!
Last year saw a record number of entries submitted and
we hope that we'll see another record number of entries
again this year!
Complete details are at http://www.odxa.on.ca/oqphome.html
There's also an OQP reflector that you can join by sending
a "blank" e-mail to: oqp-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Well, operating from the east coast, I will say that
I've never had my headphone-enclosed ears rattled as
much as I have from loud Italian stations.
Propagation, power, whatever...

I have been reading the discussion for a while,
for my knowledge, and if look through certain
webpages, I find amplifiers capable of excessive power
all over the world.
The reason why stations from Italy are louder in the states then other
Europeans are simply the better location.
They work stations with good reports I can barely hear
in northern-germany.This phenomena already excists within Germany if one
compares signals between north- and south locations.
Peter
Peter, you are partly right.
We have the same situation in a small country like Norway. If the country had
been turned upside down the North Cape would have been in North-Africa ! hi .
Our Eastern corner is on the same longitude as Cairo !
Sop when somebody elsewhere is reporting " they worked Europe " - one has to
be more specific ! hi
After all Italy is almost North- Africa.But they have always been mostly phone
people , and back in the dark ages with AM , we used to say they had 100 W
transmitters and 500 W modulators!
Now they just turn up the processors !! Hi

State QSO Parties bring out a lot of "casual" contesters. These are
typically folks who don't work a lot (if any) other contests. Folks "in
state" are the wanted people, and they can have fun with running
stations in a more relaxed and laid back style. This might get them
comfortable enough to take on the challenge of giving a "major" contest
a try ... a new contester is born!
Combining QSO Parties produces just another "Sweepstakes" or other
domestic contest ... which we already have. The activity levels (and
frustration) will be more than the "casual" contester would want, so he
keeps his radio off ... a potential "new" contester is lost.
Of course, if there are several smaller State QSO Parties struggling to
stay alive, I see no no problem with them combining efforts to help
boost activity ... but combining 50 QSO Parties, plus the VE's ... is a
bit much.

Right! And you might consider comparing the comment field as well.
Consider, say a 40m spot that has QSX 7220. If the DX changes his
listening frequency (QSX 7240), you'd want that spot to go out.
So, I think an outgoing filter would compare the callsign, frequency
(perhaps matching within some small epsilon region) and comment with the
incoming spots for the last 30-60 minutes. If it's a match, the spot
would be supressed and not sent out.
With such a filter, you could spot every station you work while S & P and
not fear about flooding the spotting network with superfluous spots.

Folks,
I'm most grateful for the flood of inputs for the first two columns of the
"Contesting on a Budget" series. Now I need your help for the upcoming
column on used equipment.
I'm sure many of us have some interesting stories on their experiences in
buying used gear.
- Where do you look for used equipment bargains?
- What resources do you use to determine what piece of equipment you want to
buy?
- What are words in ads that raise your suspicions about a piece of gear or
antenna?
- What are the most high-risk and low-risk items to buy?
- How do you arrive at a fair market value?
- Package deals, is it usually better to go this route?
- Any comments on the on-line buying and selling?
Your comments on any or all of these questions are most welcome. If you have
a story that you feel may embarrass a seller, I will keep the callsigns out
of the article to protect the innocent. (and the guilty)
Thanks in advance for your inputs. Happy contesting and high rates!
Paul, K5AF

But, just think of the fun of designing software that could handle 20 or 30
contests at the same time. Where have you gone, K8CC or N6TR or K1EA, etc.

Message-ID: <003a01c1cf6e$6f4c2d20$3f1b8ad8@JamesFunk>
In addition to the down-sides already mentioned, the lifeblood of state QSO
parties is the mobiles they bring out. Many of these are out-of-staters who
help in more than one party per year. Combining all of the parties into one
big hallabaloo (is that a good word?) would significantly decrease the total
interest level, IMO.

Here in this part of the world Italy is always louder then most other Europe
stations. They usually come crashing through any pile we may have. They
seem to have propagation to Alaska for 24 hours a day on 20 meters during
the good times. I have seen Paul, NL7V, who speaks Italian, work "I" stations
for hours on end here during the multi-op contests.
England seems to have the weakest path to this part of the world.
The other countries all have a few stations that seem to be louder then their
countrymen, contest after contest, as location and good antennas makes a big
difference no matter where you operate.
Italy has a lot of hams in a good area of the world for radio. They probably
have
more then their fair share of good near sea water locations. All this probably
makes contesting a little more fun which adds incentive to put up better
antennas,
etc. The "big" amp stories probably comes from the local internal battles among
those that need to be louder then anyone else. Same as we have here in the U.S.

Has anyone used CT with a Kenwood TS-570D? That model doesn't show up in
the CT menu and I cannot get CT to comunicate with mine. I tried setting CT
to other Kenwood radios from the small TS-50 to the TS-950 with no luck.

I don't understand this "fear about flooding the
spotting network" - if you are S&P'ing to generate
spots, and working them, 60 an hour is hot and
insignificant in volume, I would think.
Do you run a node, and if so, is volume a problem?
And if you filter out your 15:30 spot, because
you spotted that station at 15:00, then I'll
never see that station if I come to that band at
15:31 because of your posting filter.

Hello,
I have tried this with YEASU digest, but no answer, now trying here, hi.
I have a FT990 with inbuilt power supply. I would like to use it on the
field. Only chance to power FT990 is using electricity board. Any chance
to use cars battery to power FT990? Does YEASU have something? I
remember that my old FT902DM had battery contact (13.8V) apart of that
it had inbuilt power supply. Thanks

Hello, I use a Kenwood TS-850SAT at home for DXing and Contesting. I
am currently building up my CW speed/proficiency after 8 years off of the
radio. My main activities now are SSB and using CW comes 2nd at this point
in time, but may soon change to even usage. I am looking for opinions about
the optional filters that can go into the radio's 3 optional IF filter
slots. There are 2 8830 slots and one 455 slot. Based on your experiences
with contesting and dxing what would you opt for?
I am currently thinking of purchasing all Inrad filters. The models
93 (455khz - 1800hz SSB), 95 (8830khz - 1800hz SSB), and 103 (8830khz -
400hz CW). The radio has stock 2700hz filters in both IF's that I currently
use for SSB.
Lastly... I currently have one Kenwood YK-88C-1 (8830khz - 500hz CW)
filter currently installed in the radio. Would you agree that I should sell
this filter and replace it with one from Inrad? I have read many people
consider the Inrad filters to be better than the Kenwood filters but have no
basis to judge this on personally.
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tim N6WIN.

Hello dr contesters !
I am not really a newcomer (except on this list), but I have
a (stupid ?) question : Regarding the way that contests are
now corrected, should the QRP stations be logged as /QRP
or not ? Will the robot, let's say for the major contests (CQ +
ARRL), recognize AB1CD and AB1CD/QRP as the same station ?
Sorry for trouble if this question as already been posted on the
list by the past.

For cw, I like a pair of Kenwood 500 Hz filters. I used to have a TS-830
with both Inrad 400 hz filters, and I thought it was too narrow. You
really had to ride the RIT to pick up callers even slightly off frequency.
For SSB, I like the stock Kenwood 2.7's. I have an Inrad 1.8, but hardly
ever
use it. I think it hurts intelligibility while reducing bandwidth, and the
net
result is negative. The 850 does not have passband tuning as such, so you
will
probably have to adjust the carrier set point with the narrow ssb filters.
Even
after doing that, I still think it hurts more than it helps.

Yes, yes and YES. The INRAD filters are the best.

They are fabulous. Nice sharp skirts that really play on cw and the phone
ones REALLY make the slope tuning on my 940 work exquisitely on SSB.

I have used an 850 with both Inrad 400 hz filters and another
850 with both Kenwood 500 hz filters. The Inrad filters have a bit
steeper skirts, but either combination would be good.
I've never found a need for the 1.8 SSB filter.

400 Hz filters, but it was a little too narrow. You really had to ride the RIT
to avoid missing callers who were even slightly off frequency.
For SSB, I like the stock Kenwood 2.7 filters, with four or five clicks of low
cut cranked in. I have an Inrad 1.8
in one of the IF's, but find that, while it noticeably improves selectivity, it
hurts intelligibility
of the desired ssb signal. If you do get the narrow ssb filter, you will
probably have to adjust the carrier set point frequency. Even after doing that,
I find that the loss of intelligibility is too much for my liking.

Those who find life long enough for QRP can have their way. However, announcing
it together with the call sign is merely a pathetic attempt to get into the
log! Using low power means being last in the queue, there's no need to try to
change that. /QRP isn't part of anybody's call, so logging it is totally
useless.

I never log /qrp and wish people would stop sending it! I'm very happy to
work the QRP ops, but sending /qrp just slows things down in my point of
view.
Always impressed with the good QRP signals on 80/40 from EU! (all it takes
is a good antenna and some propagation)

===================>
Herve,
To my mind, it really would not matter as to whether you place the QRP
addition to your call or not.
Good operators will know how to log you properly.
Recognizing and receiving the QRP additional with your call will not really
slow a good operator down.
Sometimes it might serve as that little bit of "extra" to draw attention to
your call.
For every benefit of putting the QRP addition to your call, others will
find a detriment to same.
If I were operating QRP, I would not use the QRP additional to my call, as
placing it within the call would seem to draw away from the drama of the
pursuit, but others might differ on this philosophy, as well.
Bottom line, I don't think there is a right or wrong answer.
Sort of like clipped letters in a CW exchange; does it help or hurt - only
the phantom knows, with the possible exception of the professional amateurs.

You can share my 1970 VW camper bus with me, but I don't know what to
charge for room rent, and I would not know how to properly file the

Tim,
I have used almost every combination possible in the 3 TS-850's that I've
owned. I bring one or more of them to Antigua for contests.
I have settled on two sets of 3 filters that I install depending on the mode
I'm going to be operating.
For SSB I use:
-the stock 2.7's (very wide) ( these are built in to the radio)
-Inrad 2.1's in both IF's (Very steep skirts) (in the 500 positions)
-a Kenwood 500 Hz CW Filter (so I can work some CW +/- the contest) (in the
270 position)
For CW I use:
- The 2.7's
- Kenwood 500's in both IF's
- a Kenwood 270Hz filter
The CW configuration matches the 850's display.
For SSB, I had a Kenwood 1.8KHz filter that I tried in place of the CW
filter, but could not hear any difference between it and the Inrad 2.1
filter.
I would suspect that the Inrad 1.8 might be too narrow - except maybe for
wide CW or RTTY or really extreme SSB circumstances. The 2.1's are very
restrictive. While you're operating you don't notice how tight they are,
but when you switch back to the 2.7's you realize how limited the frequency
response was.

Bob N5NJ / V26O

The same thing happened to me. I think a few individuals must have reserved
large blocks of rooms for their clubs or friends.
As a result Susan and I will not attend the Dayton for the first time in 18
years. But I am sure that doesn't matter much to the hotel (or the
Hamvention). We will stay home and save our money for antennas, rigs, etc.

Might it be possible to clarify your feelings on this for the benefit of
the person who asked the question?
He might still be somewhat confused by your not getting to the point.

There are several fishy things about the Dayton Crowne Plaza.
Last year I had a confirmed room, in writing. Took the precaution of
checking about five days in advance - it had gone - "no record"! My
confirmation slip meant nothing.
I have another written confirmation this time. I called at 8am EDT
sharp on that first morning, was put on hold for 50 minutes, and
finally got the next-to-last available room. Decided to check on that
precious room regularly . Called the Crowne Plaza national number,
only to be told that they couldn't help because the Dayton hotel
keeps all reservations locally for special events. Hmmmm.
My assumption has been that big DX/contest clubs were reserving
blocks before the individual booking deadline. Perhaps the true
explanation is sleazier? If so, how can I get in on the deal next
year?

Folks,
I have been operatingn QRP for several years.
It's frustrating, demanding but fun too.
I do sometimes sign /QRP but most of the time I don't.
The main reason I do is for QSLing purposes.
If I work someone and don't mention that I am QRP, then when
that someone gets my QSL then he is apt to forget to
put my call on the QSL as /QRP.
Sometimes those that do sign /!QRP do get an edge in a pileup
and sometimes without signing it you break the pileup
anyway. It's amazing what you can do.
Quite a few years ago when I lived in West Texas, a buddy of
mine had an Argonaut 509 with the extras sans amp. I kept telling him
that the rig was only half of a radio. One day he talked me into borrowing
it and using it in a contest. I did and believe me, I was astounded.
It was amazing!
Life may be too short for QRP for some people, but, I'm just
not in that big of a hurry nor am I big bully that has to be the very first
in line.
I've run Amps before, even had WF5E's BIG BERTHA 4-1000 for quite
a while, so i know the feeling in busting the pileups! I've been DXing for
40 + years
and am still 2 away from the HR. I'll get there someday. It ook me 30 + years
to get USACA-ALL COUNTIES but I got it. Oh yeah, I'm working the counties
again...this time QRP, of course...30 or so to go.
Another thing to consider is taht if you live in an area That is prone to
receiving
interference, you can run QRP all weekend and not have to answer the door
or phone.

I operate QRP in most of the contests I enter.

I don't use /qrp appended to my call.

I agree. It's their problem if they want to (1) extend the length of their
call, (2) extend the length of the time of the QSO, (3) increase the
potential for being miscopied, (4) reduce their rate, and/or (5) appeal to
the called station's emotions.
Believe me, there are enough suckers ...er...ops out there who will respond
the the /QRP bleating to make some QRP ops continue to use /QRP. Put the
blame where it belongs: On the stations who continue to say "who's the QRP?"
or send "/qrp?"
I think you are being unfair to a pretty significant ham population of
operators who aren't or may not be contest-wise as you. Their experience
has taught them that /qrp appended to their call seems to work for getting
them QSO's, so they use it. I don't hear them using /qrp in QRP contests,
by the way. :-)
You need to get on QRP-L reflector and express your concerns about their
usage of /QRP.
>Using low power means being last in the queue
No it doesn't. No QRO station is strong everywhere all the time and no QRP
station is weak everywhere all the time. I'm sure ... no, I know I've beat
out many, many ops in pileups who were running LP or QRO while I was running
QRP. Happens all the time.

Isn't this all sounding a bit like buying tickets for a rock concert? The

the remainder go to the ticket houses who then raise the prices a magnitude

Quack's
I agree with the statememt that /QRP is just a waste of time. Look at the
nr of dits and dahs. That is equal to a 1x2 or 2x1 call. the /qrp usually
follows a 2/3 call sign. This really drags out a contact and if you miss
one of the letters in the person's call, they usually send the wd7???/qrp
again , I operated the Stew Perry 160 test and didn't send QRP once. In
that one it really wouldn't make any diff but in the WPX with high rates.
BIG DIFF.
The /QRP never makes it to my log for submission.

How can a thing like this be so difficult? A callsign is a thing
that identifies your radio station, i e from what country you
operate and a the specific person it belongs to.
If you dont operate from your normal location you are forced
to indicate so. Forexample OH/SM2EKM if I go to Finland.
If I work portable from my own call area in Sweden it would
become SM2EKM/p if call area 3 SM2EKM/3p or if I?m
mobile I use /m or /AM /MM etc etc.
It would actually be illegal ti sign /QRP /QRO /BATHTUB
/TRAINMOBILE /BICYCLEMOBILE or what ever
mickey mouse stuff like that.
An NO I will not log QRP either, or any other invented
mickey mouse thing by strange people.
Why not make it simple? If I work a contest what is the goal?
Yes, to make the QSO as quick as possible. How is that done?
Well, the fundamental part is to get the station you try to work
understand your callsign as quck as possible. How is that done then?
Well, NOT by giving /QRP or any other thing like that that will
confuse things, NOT by giving anything else but your call sign.
and please note MY callsign is not "Kilo Mike" or "Mike Two" or
"Echo Kilo" IT IS Sugar Mike Two Echo Kilo Mike and no
nothing else.
Why does people make things harder then needed?
73 Jim SM2EKM
PS: For pople that arent sure of what their callsign is dig out the
amateur licens form they once did get from the authorities and
read it one more time, your callsign will be on that paper
PS2: I wish we had more people like 9K2ZZ

I take my hat off to those who, quietly, work stations with qrp. More power
(pun intended) to their elbows, as some might say over here. I know of a
number of US stations with very high DXCC totals running qrp, but others
may not be aware of it simply because they do not add '/qrp' to their
'callsigns'.
Personally it has always been my practice to sign the call issued to me by
my licensing authority though I am bound to admit that, technically
speaking, from a particular call I made only three qsos with the exact call
specified in the licence and 90,000 with what I assume the licensing
authority really meant.
There is a number of operators who think that signing /qrp gives them
special privileges. They are allowed to call at any time irrespective of
the fact that a qso is already taking place and, when contacts are being
conducted at a quick pace, they can send their callsign for 60 seconds
without listening. Indeed there is no need to send the full call, mere
sending '/qrp' repeatedly should be sufficient for the DX station to stop
everything and attend to them.
In short they think that drawing attention to their being (?) qrp means
that everyone else should stop and wait for them. It's rather like the
'please listen for my buddy' nonsense aka 'lists'.
Real QRPers do not sign '/qrp'.

Why would it matter if a card comes back to you with the /qrp? Does
that make the card any more correct? How would the station you work
have any way to verify that you were qrp to make that qsl mean anything
beside that you made a contact.

Hi Hal. I've flown several times since 9/11. Here's a list:
-Baltimore, MD to Denver, CO
-Denver, CO to Bozeman, MT
-Bozeman, MT to Denver, CO
-Denver, CO to Baltimore, MD
-Raleigh, NC to Baltimore, MD
-Baltimore, MD to Raleigh, NC
I've used several different airlines and have been to a variety of
different sized airports. My experience is that if you are carrying the
rig on the plane with you:
-It's highly likely they will search the bag it's in/question you at the
medical detectors/x-rays.
-They will almost certainly search the bag it's in and question you at
the gate.
In my experience they seem to understand what cameras and laptops are
but a mobile rig might give them problems. My advice is to:
-Have the original copy of your license with you.
-Have a through and neutral explanation for what it is and what you
intend to use it for.
-If you can, find an advertisement for the rig in an AES, HRO, or like
catalog and bring the catalog along with you.
-Bring a power supply with you if at all possible so that you can turn
it and turn a few knobs for them.
-Inform them that you know you can't use it while the plane is in flight
(at least, without the pilot's permission).
Most importantly, try to take the questions and searches "in stride". If
they don't see you getting nervous or acting weird and freely giving
consent the odds are great that they will let you carry it on. Make sure
to have a good story for what it is and be open and candid throughout.
DO NOT bring along any screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. with you. If they
have to open it they will have all of these tool there but DO NOT bring
them with you.
I would also advise that you allow plenty of time to get to the gate/on
the plane (must more then what they recommend) just in case they do go
over it thoroughly and have a back-up plan for what to do with the rig
if they won't let it on. Also, although it's not PC to say so, you will
have an easier time making it through security if you are any of the
following, the more the more likely:
-Male
-White
-Not overweight
-Not tall
-Not wearing a lot of layers of clothing
In my experience that has been the case since 9/11. Just my $0.02. Best
of luck and 73!

Just line up.
Be exactly on frequency.
Call with your callsign sent only once.
No last two only calls.
Don't everybody call at one time.
Before the contest, make sure you are in the callsign database.
Make sure all packet spots are callsign correct.
Only send a 599 report.
I agree.
Putting QRP in with your callsign makes it just too hard.
Now then, you mobile stations, just don't even bother.

Well, in the mail today was a card from a JA for a qso in last weekends
BARTG and include was a new style IRC!! They are as big as a qsl card
themselves and clearly stated on the back (in about 30 different languages)
is the expiration date, 31-Dec-2006. So these new ones clearly will expire
but after checking again on the older ones I have, I can find no expiration
date. I'd check at the local post office but every time I bring one in, it
takes the whole office just to figure out how to spell IRC. 73

The best contest going by far is the Poison 'de Avril contest
which has been running on April 1st for some time (haven't seen
any announcement yet this year). You can operate any mode you
want, any class (make one up and be sure to win), make up your
own exchanges, etc. The neat thing about it is that you can
print up your own first place certificate or go buy a plaque and
get it engraved to show your are 1st place finisher, World No
waiting for results to be published in a magazine, then the long
wait for the prize. No limit on band changes or how many radios
can be on the air at the same time. Use packet and be S.O.
unassisted, legally. For a complete set or rules, contact Doug,
K1DG.

Hal:
Get an extra power connector or cable for the rig. Then get 2 battery
holders, each for 4 "AA" cells. Attach the battery holders back-to-back
with double-faced tape or super glue. Wire both packs in series to the DC
connector for the rig. This will provide about 13v, and will power the
receiver of most 12v radios for about a minute. That's OK, since all they
want is to see the front panel light up and noise come out of the speaker.
Even if you leave the radio on long enough to run the batteries down, after
an hour wait the batteries will be capable of the same thing again, although
for a shorter period. I change the batteries every trip. Even if they
don't like the battery pack, after you've explained what it's for, as long
as they've already checked the radio you can just toss the batteries out and
replace them at your destination and you're only out $5-$6. (A "stick" of
12 "AA" alkalines as Radio Shack usually costs about $8).

Message-ID: <007201c1d2c1$ba0fc000$59d6d6cc@scott>
Many have raised very good points as to why /QRP should not be logged. I DO
log the /QRP, however, mainly because I tend to log whatever was sent in the
same manner in which it is sent, AND because there is no way I'm going to
remember to put the /QRP designator on a QSL card unless I have some record
to tell me to do so.
I guess another reason why I log /QRP is because I know that some people
will make contacts using different power levels...didn't someone enter the
CQWW SSB 160m Contest in two separate power categories? I know a couple of
DXers who will work a DXpedition on all bands and then go back and work the
same group as a /QRP station...I agree that it makes just as much sense to
sign /QRO, but also agree that it sometimes helps in making a
differentiation between the different contacts (and keeps the person from
looking like a LID who is bent on making numerous insurance contacts).
And another confession...I'm one of the ones guilty of telling the /QRP
station to go ahead, thus helping to encourage those who sign /QRP to
continue the practice. Why? Not because I feel sorry for the guy, but
because for some reason it stands out. The same applies to the station who
uses unique phonetics. Right or wrong, "Itchy Underwear" on SSB is usually
going to get through quicker than "India Uniform" (and I'm sure these words
will come back to haunt me in the next contest...). As "Quack" said, /QRP
is often the only thing you'll hear of a callsign. Annoying, perhaps, but
true. Someone slap my hand the next time you hear me call for the /QRP
station or when I answer the station sending only two letters of his/her
callsign...
Of course, I believe the original question concerned whether or not omitting
/QRP from a given callsign was considered a logging error, and it appears
that the answer is "No."
It would be interesting to see the numbers of /QRP designations in CW vs.
SSB...I think spending a weekend sending KS4YT/QRP on CW would drive me
crazy; especially when I think about the number of times that a station I'm
answering will have already worked someone in the time it takes to send
KS4YT at a slow 25 wpm.
I agree that the best place for this subject is on the QRP reflectors, and
I'd be interested in seeing the various opinions expressed there. I guess
if someone wanted to create a backlash against the practice of signing /QRP,
we could all start sending /QRO and see the reactions. Of course, then
we'd have to come up with an appropriate designation for those in the 50-200
watt range, wouldn't we (or is my ignorance showing)? =)

I don't understand the confusion.
The contest will be held on April 1, same as every year. I announced the
full rules last night around 03Z on 20M CW. I am pretty sure VP6DI copied
them OK - even though I was running QRP I was on a nice clear frequency
around 14075.
For the record, there are no QRP categories in the Poisson d'Avril. Life's
too short, and we are all getting older. Some of us will actually get a
whole year older just during this contest.
I will win the P d'A again, same as every year. And I don't understand why
people would protest my winning every year and quit trying. After all, did
people complain when K1AR won the CQWW and ARRL DX contests all those years?
Oh, wait...maybe that's a bad example. Never mind.
I'll try to get around to posting some rules this week if the medication
takes hold. Or better yet, make up your own. I'm flexible. Winner in each
category I approve gets the secret password for Crowne Plaza room
reservations. I can't tell you now what the password is, but it's a kind of
a fish.
So if you think you have a category you can win, give it your best shot.

Thanks for all the answers about /QRP logging

not to speak about QRP or not (in contests or

Besides (out of topic, sri), I recently bought an

in France, so there is probably no interest here.

Hal,
If you find out you can take the rig on board, what you might
want to
do is get a 12V Wall Wart that can just supply enough current to power
the Transceiver. You can get wall warts up 2 to 3 amps if I remember
correctly
and that way you will be able to turn the rig on. There is no reason they
would
aske you to transmit that I know of.

Hal,
here's a partial answer to your question re radios in carry-on luggage. In
February I flew to Tahiti from LAX (non-stop) on Air Tahiti Nui. I carried my
FT990 and assorted electronics in a locked Pelican case, as well as an Icom
735 in a carry-on bag.
My companion and I had a total of 4 checked pieces of luggage as well as
three pieces of carryon (including a laptop). On ticket counter checkin, our
checked luggage was randomly (yeah, right!) selected for X-ray while we
accompanied it. The Pelican case had to be opened and checked for explosives
or residue, but otherwise there was no issue.
On going to the gate my carryon with the radio (and a bunch of wire and junk)
was tagged for visual inspection. The radio was of no interest (neither was
the laptop). The Vibroplex paddles were of great interest however ... no one
quite knew what to make of them or for that matter my explanation of what
they were for ... "Morse Code?, you mean people still do that?"
No problems whatsoever ... of course I did have to give them my shoes, but
that's another story ... (I got them back).
On the reverse trip, things were even easier although all bags were X-rayed
leaving Papeete for LAX. No need to open anything however ...
All in all, I think that worrying about increased security re radios is
unnecessary. If you fit the profile you're going to be questioned and
inspected at some length, if you don't, you won't be --- radio or no radio.
73 and have a great trip

One thing to watch for if you actually try to cash in an IRC is the
postmark. My local PO actually has someone who understands them and has
refused to cash them for missing postmarks on the side that is supposed
to be stamped when you buy it. He has also refused them when he can
tell that the postmark isn't from the country I am trying to send the
card back to.

Message-ID: <3C9DF12C.6872@erols.com>
Hal Offut's post was a good one. I must add one small correction, though
as it deals with an important point.
Many have asked, over the years, about OPERATING their ham rig onboard
the A/C. Contrary to the popular understanding, the ONLY one who can
officially authorize use of transmitting equipment that is NOT certified
for use with the A/C in question is the CARRIER. It must be in writing
and must be from them.
The pilot, crew, or others cannot do this. They CAN restrict bringing it
on.. (and if an inflight emergency, then they have total command of the
craft and can allow it to be used, of course!) but the carrier is the
only legal authority who can grant you permission to operate.
73
Chuck K3FT
Tis a bit off topic for contesting.. but important detail, none the less.
I checked this with ARRL and carrier operators.

Probably because LP and QRO stations are more ubiquitous (both
individually and combined as a group) than QRP stations. Perhaps QRP
stations see this "rareness" as some sort of advantage and want to make
it well known (even though it isn't an "advantage" over their
competitors, other QRP stations). In this case by sending "/QRP", about
the equivalent of a 1x2 callsign on phone or CW in addition to their
real call.
Or maybe because QRP stations rarely break pile-ups when they do they
want it to last as long as possible, hence why they send "/QRP" and
often repeat their call several times :-) In my view, life's too
short for QRP and life's defiantly too short for "/QRP".

Indicators. In addition to the special event call sign system, any amateur

sign one or more
indicators (example "W1AW/national convention"). Each indicator must be
separated

the
slant mark ("portable," "stroke," etc.). If the indicator is self-assigned, it
must be included before, after, or both before and after, the assigned call sign

Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows of a MFJ-434 Computer Cable maker? I'm a
bit daunted by making my own at this point and was wondering if there is an
easy way out? I'd like to interface the external keyer with my computer
contest software. A Check of the google search engine showed me a schematic
for use with NA and TR Log along with a cable hookup for an Array Solution
SO2R box, but no supplier/maker of a pre-maid computer cable. Thanks for any
input, Tim. N6WIN.

Message-ID: <NEBBIHDFILKFAICDBOGHAEMGDDAA.jljarvis@abs.adelphia.net>
Folks,
There has been some good advice, and some questionable on
this topic.
First, I have NOT carried an HF rig onboard since 9-11. But I
fly virtually every week, and I HAVE carried an HT, with no
difficulty, several times.
Prior advice is pretty much sound, about having your license
with you. Couple of things, though:
1) Visit customs, in advance, and get a declaration form which
permits you to list the inventory you are carrying with you.
They will stamp this with an official stamp. Carry it in the bag,
always. Get several copies of this, in case some bureaucrat wants
a copy for his records. Doesn't matter whether you're leaving the
country or not. It officially lists your inventory.
Include in that inventory ALL wire, headsets, keys, and
interconnecting cables. Be specific.
2) Place your tools in a checked bag. You can't carry them on.
3) DO NOT bring batteries jury-rigged to permit you to fire up a
radio which requires that you plug in the power supply. It's sketchy,
at best, and suspicious looking, at worst.
If they insist that you power the rig up, ask for an AC jack,
and get on with it.
If they want to see you transmit...point to the rolled up 40m dipole
made of #24 wire, in the bag...and say, I have to stretch this out to
transmit.
4) When approaching the X-Ray machine, advise personnel that they
WILL want to hand inspect the radio sack, as well as run it through
the machine. This sets you apart from the mainstream, and positions
you as a responsible party. Then be patient with them.
As for me....with an investment in carry-on bags for my 756pro & ic2kl...
I'm going the Pelican case route, next time. For 200 bucks, you can
solidly protect your radio, and not strain your back. And it's waterproof.

Message-ID: <20020324.153036.-214295.5.john-k1rc@juno.com>
Hi all,
Interesting thread.
As a QRP type since '78 (go 'head and snicker..),
I never send /QRP when doing hunt & pounce,
which is about 99.9% of the time.
EXCEPTION:
If the other stn sends /QRP then I'll send it and
make it a 2X QRP contact.
Like tom said "../QRP is not valid designator "
and IMHO a time waster. (no offense intended)
When I'm calling CQ (and beating off the wolves)
and things get slow, every once in a great while I'll
throw out a "/QRP" - just for the heck of it, to see if
I can hook that occasional stn feeling sorry for my
P-weak signal...
But, I doubt if I use it more than a dozen times
during a contest...
The way I see it, QRP doesn't mean send sloooow
cw. I'm constantly tweaking the speed knob on the
keyer to match the other station.
I've found that my call is most readable between
28 and 32 WPM. [exchange is faster]
By readable, I mean -no/minimum repeats-
and not messing up the other guy's "flow".
In the Army I topped out at 45WPM, but thats alot
of brain cells ago. Ifya know what I mean.
Just my $.02

One thing to watch for if you actually try to cash in an IRC is the
postmark. My local PO actually has someone who understands them and has
refused to cash them for missing postmarks on the side that is supposed
to be stamped when you buy it. He has also refused them when he can
tell that the postmark isn't from the country I am trying to send the
card back to.

That would seem to allow "/QRP". I do run QRP often, but
do not use the indicator - and find it very annoying when I
have to copy it along with someone elses call.
Now, how about all the mobiles that sign "/M"? Isn't that
a prefix assigned to England and thus illegal?

Let me add my experience.
On my way from Jacksonville, FL to Cayman Islands I experienced no problems
with my checked-in luggage (hard wall small suitcase). I was carrying a
IC-706, Alinco DM-330MV, Sony laptop, memory keyer etc.
On my return from Cayman, all luggage was "hand searched". After she opened
my radio case, panic set in. I showed her my ZF2LM license and Cayman issued
license to import the gear. After examining the documents, she thanked me
for it and closed the case.

There is something fishy here. I know for a fact, the log I sent
to him last year had a higher score than he claimed. In fact I
found out that there were quite a few others that had higher
scores than he did. I sent a local operative of mine over to
check, and when he went into Doug's shack, he was caught,
frantically shredding some documents. All of the logs that had a
lower score than he did were still there, but as for others, they
all seemed to have disappeared. All that was found was a large
bin full of shredded documents of some kind. I was going to
register a complaint with the sponsor of the contest, but lo and

If it is,
there are some restaurants and small lounges inside the new terminal

It is a very new and modern terminal so indeed it has changed from 2 years

No, it isn't illegal".
"M" might mean have more than one interpretation, based upon historical
context.
I have wondered about this, as well.
Sort of like an "N" .. is it a 9 or an "N" ??
It may get logged wrong, and scored wrong by the computer that is on
control of what should be operator controlled, but it is not illegal.

KP2/N5RP

VE8/N5RP
N5RP/special event pod racer ............... All are legal.
Problem might be...........
Hmmm. ??
Dunno................ Maybe it just does not fit the computer program.
Communications interpretation being controlled by the software instead of
the operator.
Just more flavor to be added to operator controlled contest communication
interchange, unless we all want perfect Hz, perfect speed, perfect DSP

Since /QRP is a power designation, I suspect that people should
ALWAYS suffix the call sign with the operating power such as:
VE6YP/147
K1TTT/1499.5
G3AA/400

If one were mobile in, for example, Hawaii, any of the following would be
acceptable identifications using voice:
(callsign) mobile, (callsign) mobile 6, (callsign) mobile KH6 (or NH6, WH6,
AH6), OR just (callsign).
On CW, the words mobile or portable are to be replaced by "/".
The mobile or portable designator can be before or after the callsign,
except if you are a U.S. licensed amateur operating in Canada, in which case
the mobile or portable designator MUST be after the callsign.
A mobile station identifying on CW with (callsign)/M6 (or whatever number)
is in violation. (If you were operating in the U.K. under CEPT privileges,
you would identify as M/(callsign).)
Having said all that, everyone does it. If it's important, we could all
write to Riley. No, I don't think it's important.

It might be worthwhile taking his IRC business elsewhere--to another post
office, that is.
A post office in Webster, TX, which is on my way to/from work I have found
is a great place to transact IRC redemptions. The ladies there are super
and recognize the fact that it's not my fault when the IRC is misstamped or
not stamped at all. Now, I'm sure if I walked in with a bundle of the 'bad'
IRC's, they would draw the line somewhere. But, as long as it's only a
half-dozen a year or so, they take them without hesitation.
As to "the postmark isn't from the country I am trying to send the card back
to," what are you doing that alerts them to that? Maybe if you simply go in
to redeem the IRC's for postage without any outgoing mail in hand, it might
work out better for you. I've never been asked where I'm sending postage
from redeemed IRC's.

SECRETS OF CONTESTING, CH. ONE
As I pass through the twi-light years of my radio contesting career, I think
it important
to reveal some of what I call "Secrets of Contesting". Perhaps others may
find them helpful. I hope so.
Although it is perhaps all to easy to take a few hundred thousand contest
QSO's for granted, one may reasonably ask, "How can you possibly demonstrate
such a keen accuracy in REMEMBERING six or more characters, sent only once,
at a very high speed, and then faithfully re-transmitting them back, and
again accurately logging them?" For me, a Contest Forum virtually cannot
pass without having to expound on just HOW I have been able to do this, with
such inordinate skill, and for so very many years. If you truly wish to
learn this secret, please read on...........
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN that the simple act of CHEWING GUM will improve your
short- and long-term memory by up to 35 percent! It is believed that the
gentle exercise of chewing may be enough to raise a person's heart rate and
increase the flow of oxygen to the brain.
Chewing may also trigger the release of insulin in the body, which could
increase the uptake of blood sugar by the brain. It is firmly believed that
it is nothing IN the gum, but rather that the act of mastication (repeat,
mastication) that is making the difference.
Simply, if you chew gum, you will observe an increase in your heart rate of
five to six beats per minute. This may be unrelated to brain function, but
on the other hand an increase in the blood delivery of oxygen to the brain
probably increases cognitive function.
Also, chewing a stick of gum probably fools the body into thinking that it
is about to get a meal, increasing insulin production. The hippocampus, the
region of the brain that deals with memory, has insulin receptors which are
involved in increasing the uptake of glucose.
It took some trial an error on my part, to be able to make SSB QSO's at a
high rate, while actively chewing, but it can be done. It was very similar
to the practice I was required to employ when I changed from sending CW with
my right hand, to my left hand, some twenty years ago, but it can be done.
So there you have it. Chewing gum helps your memory while contesting.
Please let me know how it works out for you.

And perhaps it matters what you chew too

Oh - but there is one thing to remember it does not increase "memory-linked

Hi Tim,
I spoke with Martin Jue (Mr. MFJ himself) at Dayton a couple of years ago
and I suggested to him that MFJ sell this cable pre-assembled as an option.
He seemed very interested in doing just that, but it has not yet appeared as
a product. I haven't seen anyone else offering a commercial unit either,
although some enterprising fellow ham may offer to build you one. (I
actually would offer, but you'll wait a **LONG** time for it since free time
is incredibly scarce these days.)
I made my own right after unpacking it and running the initial tests (I'm
too impatient to wait for anything!). It's "ugly" construction with the
circuit on a small board in an Altoids case (the modern day Sucrets
container for small ham gadgets). The worst part was scrounging the 8-pin
plug for the back of the keyer. It's an oddball connector that cannot be
obtained via a quick run to Radio Shack. In the longstanding tradition of
amateur radio, I wound up butchering a connector from inside a dead modem.
It's ugly, but it works!
The MFJ-434 is a VY FB unit, but I now use it little since I got a good
computer and WriteLog. It will remain close by, though, for those times
when Murphy decides to guest op at my station!

Thank you for your participation in the contest and for
submitting
your log in Cabrillo format. While the robot appears to be
able to
process your log, it appears to have discovered
irregularities in your
log. These do not affect its ability to be processed but
correcting
these problems will help ensure the entry is properly scored.
These
irregularities appear in a report at the bottom of this
message. You
are encouraged to review and fix these irregularities. You
may then
re-send it to dxphone@arrl.org. You may have to resubmit your
log
two or three times to get everything just right.

Well I haven't been much of a gum chewer, but I did chew tobacco for the
entire weekend in most of my better efforts over the years. For every new
mult I would ding the spitoon. Nothing like a fresh can of Cope before
sitting down to a CW contest. Now, I did give up that nasty habit again
recently. It's easy to quit. I've done it a hundred times.

It is GeoClock. I have used it for 4 years. Very good. The amateur
version gives you on map centered on your geographical coordinates. There
are 40-50 other maps; various views of the world, the different continents,
medium range regional views and closeups of the various US areas.
A special edition was prepared for us to take to XZ0A in January 2000. It
was extremely useful to have all this info available to not only the low
band stations but was used extensively by the upper HF frequency stations to
determine the greyline/daylight darkness areas while operating from a
different time zone on the other side of the world.

Hi Syl:
Unfortunately, for some of us, chewing gum is not a good
solution because our teeth are prone to crack and break
while chewing gum. Perhaps some other substance like
frequent food snacks could be substituted. Now, if only
I could get my XYL to go on my contest trips so she
could bring me the snacks. 73, John, K4BAI/8P9HT/8P9Z.

Wondering, if I chew gum during a contest providing me this extra oxygen,

Quack Perspective
PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. I still can't copy the 45/50WPM Ops but when
they are calling me at reasonable speeds I usually can get most 2x3 calls
the first time when they are some what in the clear, on CW different story.
Some combinations really screw me up even when they slow down to 25 ???

Hmmm-- a thousand miles south of Hawaii. I recommend he go ashore at

So Jim, you are a major shareholder in Wrigley's?? HI Could not resist it!

SECRETS OF CONTESTING, CH. ONE
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN that the simple act of CHEWING GUM will improve your
short- and long-term memory by up to 35 percent! It is believed that the
gentle exercise of chewing may be enough to raise a person's heart rate and
increase the flow of oxygen to the brain.
Chewing may also trigger the release of insulin in the body, which could
increase the uptake of blood sugar by the brain. It is firmly believed that
it is nothing IN the gum, but rather that the act of mastication (repeat,
mastication) that is making the difference.
Simply, if you chew gum, you will observe an increase in your heart rate of
five to six beats per minute. This may be unrelated to brain function, but
on the other hand an increase in the blood delivery of oxygen to the brain
probably increases cognitive function.
Also, chewing a stick of gum probably fools the body into thinking that it
is about to get a meal, increasing insulin production. The hippocampus, the
region of the brain that deals with memory, has insulin receptors which are
involved in increasing the uptake of glucose.
It took some trial an error on my part, to be able to make SSB QSO's at a
high rate, while actively chewing, but it can be done. It was very similar
to the practice I was required to employ when I changed from sending CW with
my right hand, to my left hand, some twenty years ago, but it can be done.
So there you have it. Chewing gum helps your memory while contesting.
Please let me know how it works out for you.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Re: I won't log /QRP
Message-ID: <20020325214556.92052.qmail@web14701.mail.yahoo.com>
This thread is just about dead, but let
me weigh in as a 99% QRP operator.
Over on the QRP-L reflector, you will find
the group there about just as divided about the
/QRP issue as you folks here. (Many of the QRP-L
folks are regulars in contests, and many
subscribe to this forum.) Some will be very
religious about the issue, on either side,
just like many people here.
You will find that most QRP operators in
*CONTESTS* will NOTsign /QRP unless maybe there
is several contests going on in the same
frequency space, as it might not be clear
from their CQ TEST DE which contest. But even
in that case most will probably not.
Where I see most the use of /QRP is not in
contests, but in DX PILEUPS. There (and I
am certainly guilty of this at times, but
not always) one is trying to stand out from
the pack, and many times than not it helps,
just like indicating /M or "mobile" helps.
The goal is to get heard, to get the contact,
and if your personal conscious allows for it,
why not? If the DX station refuses to hear you,
so be it. And if they refuse to put the /QRP in
the log, so be it. At least you will have
the main part of the call, which is all that
matters for a QSL. But once a DX station
stands by for a QRP station, realize that
the "rules" are out -- that station has
declared that they will favor one group
of stations over another. Your choice as the
DX station. Your choice as the would-be DX chaser.
Indicating mobile is not a requirement, at
least not in the US, yet how many people do
that? A very large percentage do so from
what I can tell. Why? Like with the /QRP
there are various reasons: (1) "tradition"
(or thought to be rules), (2) to stand out
in order to "invite" someone to reply,
(3) to "warn" the other users that you might
be a weak or intermittent station to work
based on changing conditions, or (4) to stand
out (as in the DX situation). A fifth
reason, pertinent to mobile only, is to alert
the other person to possibly expect a QTH or
location that is different than the home.
But let me add an interesting 5th reason
that is pertinent to QRP operators -- many
others (non-QRPers) DON'T WANT TO WORK US.
Yep! Surprised? Many QRP operators have
experienced the interesting phenomenon that
once we indicate the usual rig, antenna,
and power information in the QSO, suddenly
the other station has a reason to QRT.
Why, I don't know, especially when they just
told us we were 59 (or even 59plus). But you
would be surprised how many folks have
experienced it. By signing /QRP, the low-power
operator is essentially giving you a "warning"
that indicates that if you don't like talking
to a QRP station, then don't bother to answer
this one. Not that I do this, but I have
talked to many for which this is an issue
on both sides of the argument.
On the other hand, just as many QRP are very
proud of being a low-power operator. Signing
/QRP is a way to "proclaim" that feeling.
Like I said, over on the QRP-L list, you will
find that the QRP operators cover the full
range of amateur radio and share all types of
views on this. The only common denominator
is that they/we prefer to operate at 5 watts
or less power out to the antenna. (You will
find just as righteous a discussion over the
idea of whether a "true" QRP operator can
use a antenna other than a dipole, in other
words whether one is still QRP if you use a
gain antenna. You don't have those discussions
here, or do you? <grin>)
Just so you know, I DON'T sign /QRP in contests
(occasionally for DX, but not contests).
Cheers from Iowa.

Message-ID: <001d01c1d458$e0094900$9ed926cb@martinl>
One thing that I find a number of times is I copy ???@@@^RP. Sort of like
the end of a long call. So I try the RP go ahead. No response. QRZ.!...
&***%%%$$$#QRP. Aha think I, "the QRP go ahead". SHHHHQRP. Sorry the QRP try
again.SHHHHHHQRP. Please just call, just call !JX5shhhh5XXX! Okay JX5XXX etc
etc
It may sound like I am telling tall tales but it it would happen at least
once per contest where I copy the QRP bit fine each time given but the call
gets buried. When I ask them to leave off the QRP bit the call comes
through.
As for putting QRP on the QSL card. No way. You prove to the awards people
that you were running QRP. I have no knowledge of your power and I cannot
confirm that you were indeed running low power. I can only confrim date time
mode band and that we worked each other.
I am more than happy to work QRP stations. Their pleasure comes through,
literally sometimes. I recently worked a guy using one of these new Yaesu
radios with 5watts pedestrian mobile. We exchanged reports and his signal
was good enough for me to hear the pride and pleasure in his voice. He
didn't say it but it sounded like "a VK wow Yessssssssssss!"
I have refrained from commenting on the 300watts strong signals thread other
than to perhaps note that the comments from people who can legally run
1500watts seem a little ungenerous. Or perhaps they are scared of the
competition if the rest of the world operates on a level playing field on
power. The power hogs are known. They are all alligators - all mouth and no
ears !! They are not all, or even mainly, Italian's.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Help Me Brothers!
Message-ID: <02bf01c1d483$792a3ca0$6501a8c0@home>
With apologies in advance to any that may be offended by my profanity.
Help Me Brothers, for I am sorely tempted.
I come to you, my brothers, in my hour of need. Lend me your support, that
I may be strong and pass this aweful test. I am tempted brothers, tempted
by the devil most profane. Do not abandon me my brothers in this, my hour
of need.
I have never strayed from the path, my brothers, never in the 21 long years
of my service to the cause. My first radio, of course, was a TS-830S, and
from that point on I have stayed the course against all temptation. My
father, it must be said, allowed himself to stray. An Icom he did buy, and
sad was I for years to come. But I have been strong, and despite the
Devil's evil offers I have always been true. A pair of beautiful TS-850S's
adorn my alter today.
But I am tempted my brothers, tempted by an evil so strong that I am not
certain that I can sustain my faith against it. It comes to me in my dreams
my brothers, with images of dual receivers with separate AGC systems. It
comes to me as I walk my path in the daylight brothers. Why just today I
saw an image of the Enhanced Digital Signal Processing as I passed through
the garden. And the power my brothers, 100 watts output with either 120
volt or 13.8 volt power - all in a lighter weight package with no messy
external heat sinks.
Oh my brothers, I am sorely tempted. Help me my brothers, lest I fall from
the path.
And the price! The Price my brothers. Only $1999 this week only. Oh my
brothers, only $1999 for perhaps the finest contesting radio ever made.
Yes my brothers, it is the new FT-1000MP Mark V Field that tempts me, it
tests my strength my brothers.
Is there amongst you one, even one, who can turn me aside from this course?
Can anyone tell me that its receiver is poor, or that the IBDT system is
flawed, or that the VRF front end protection module is just marketing hype?
Can one of you save me, my brothers, from the terrible fate that lies ahead?
For it you cannot, I fear that I will fall from grace this week my brothers,
in time to use the dual RX capability on 40 meters during WPX SSB this
weekend. So if you can speak against this evil, do so now, that I may be
spared. It is not a lack of faith in my trusty TS-850S that is causing me
this pain, my brothers. No, not that. It is the terrible temptation of the
Mark V Field that comes to me - and I know not if I can stand against it.

Hi, Rick,

Message-ID: <NEBBIHDFILKFAICDBOGHGEOEDDAA.jljarvis@abs.adelphia.net>
Didn't see the start of this thread...but W5GN and K3PP had
traffic on the topic of Writelog not sending CW properly:
I run Writelog in an HP laptop, 700MHz Pentium III, with
absolutely no problem. CW runs fine. Voicekeyer runs fine.
All other functions work. I run Geoclock simultaneously.
Often, I have other programs running as well.
No hacks, skips or lockups in the cw seen.
Have run the same program in a 133MHz Pentium, with 128k dram.
While the human interface was a bit slow, it generated cw ok.
Soundcard died before I could test the voicekeyer.
My suspicion would be that you have another problem, unrelated
to the raw processor speed.

Message-ID: <NEBBIHDFILKFAICDBOGHCEOFDDAA.jljarvis@abs.adelphia.net>
With respect to Father Neiger's retirement plans for his
bubble gum investment:
My wife teaches special ed children. Many have attention-deficit
issues. When it comes time for standard testing, she makes a point
of giving them (sugarless) gum to chew on. Tends to keep them in
their seats and concentrating, by providing a path for excess energy.
Test scores go up. Peggy got a kick out of Jim's description, but says
it's absolutely true.
Without engaging in speculation about our collective early-childhood
development, let me merely observe that some of us have shown difficulty
walking and chewing gum. So it naturally follows that chewing tends to
keep you in the chair!

Hi Jim,
The thread began as a discussion of the MFJ-434 voice keyer, of which I own
one. I mentioned that it's a FB unit but I rarely use it now because my new
computer has essentially replaced it, using WriteLog.
W5GN mentioned that he had some problems with WL on a fast computer. I'm
not sure why he had so much trouble with it, but his was fixed when he went
back to the slower machine. I have had superior behavior from WL on my
1.1GHz Celeron computer, in all modes and functions.
My instinct tells me that a fast CPU speed should be irrelevant, but
obviously, something was awry on his faster machine. Maybe someone else
could shed light on it.

Dave,
I've SEEN you walking and chewing gum...and you're right.
The mercury amalgam is no big deal.
On the other hand, consider the poor dentist, drilling
all that amalgam! It's a wonder K3WW can sit in the
chair for a full contest, or send code at all!!
Ragnar....you're right, silly season has struck.
Young David is the former neighbor of an old friend
of mine from High School, W2REH. Dave learned to
contest by hanging out at Joe's house.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Honor Sprint?
Message-ID: <018801c1d506$df6d8020$74e6bfa8@mirage>
Hey, Sprinters! A while back I sponsored an "Honor Sprint" that ran under
the same rules as the regular North American Sprint, sponsored by the NCJ,
but without any of the formal log checking - honor-system reporting only.
It was "just for fun" and to keep the skills sharp in the long time between
February and September.
Is there any interest in running one again this May? May 12th (0000Z) looks
like a good date (although the CQ-M contest is also running that weekend)
and is the weekend before the Dayton Hamvention, so you won't be in the
doghouse for buying stuff :-) We could run for either two hours and make it
a 20/40-meter contest, or the full four hours and use 20/40/80.
Suggestions? Other options include making it earlier in the day and trying
a 10/15-meter format.

According to the ARRL Rate Sheet Mike passed away on Mar 17

Mike and I used to chase counties together back in the very early

Not to bash, particularly, but isn't the trade-off for QRP to do by
technique, cunning, persistence what is usually accomplished with
power for lesser effort, particularly in contesting?
It would seem that interference problems are largely solved by staying
at low power, 100 watts, though QRP will definitely keep you off the
neighbor's radar. QRP contesters that I know do it for the challenge
of mind over watts, or because they have some deep-seated need for
self-flagellation.
That being so...
Why **NOT** point out to QRPers that zero beating the CQ-ing station
is another one of the mind-over-watt techniques that helps. And is
this not more pertinent coming from those who **LISTEN** to QRP
signals to work them?
Higher power stations get away with being off frequency by making up
with QRO what the IF filter has taken away with selectivity skirts. An
uncopiable signal dead on my frequency that matches my
sending/receiving timing will get some work to try and pull it out. If
it's up or down a bit, could just be another station elsewhere in the
world that is working someone that is loud where they are, and gets
ignored.
Not a matter of guilt, but how fine a QRPer can cut it to his own
advantage.
73, Guy.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] A couple of Observations
Message-ID: <004501c1d5d7$53a43580$ecdafea9@N1>
I pay close attention to the remarks made on the reflector when it pertains
to manufacturers and vendors. Most of this feedback has been given with the
best of intentions and can provide valuable data to us all in making future
decisions. With that in mind I would like to pass on a couple of recent
experiences.
#1 The Good News
I purchased a Force12 C4SXL. I was very pleased with the quick shipping and
handling of the product by the seller Texas Tower. And get this, they
actually thanked me for the business when we concluded our telephone call.
But the good news does not stop there. When I had some questions regarding
the construction and erection of the antenna, I called Force 12. Tom
Shiller took both of my calls and gave me the information I needed in a
polite and informative manner. He did not rush off to take another call or
try to brush me off but filled me in on some "extra" details that were very
helpful and clearly demonstrated to me the he and his company really cared
about their products and service. So thanks Force12.
#2 The Bad News
I had to send my IC775 off for some service. I had previously talked with
this repair shop regarding a potential problem and thought I would call him
and get his opinion on the possible repair. During that conversation he
never informed me that he was not an authorized Icom repair station. In
fact he indicated that there would be no problem in obtaining parts if
required. Certainly he sounded knowledgeable on the product. So, I sent
the unit to him with the detail of problems. Also in the note was my Visa
number so that he could charge it and return it to me without delay.
He did call about a week after receiving the product to inform me that he
could not fix one of the problems. He did not have the proper tools to do
it and for him to obtain the tools would be too expensive. He said he would
look again at the unit and maybe he could "fix it". About five days later I
received another telephone call indicating that he had fixed the main
problem but that the problem requiring additional tools could not be
repaired. I said fine send it back to me. It was then that he informed me
that he wanted payment via Pay Pal and Pay Pal only no other credit cards.
A bit miffed that a business would not be taking a bank credit card I paid
him using Pay Pal. So here are the caveats: Check to be sure that the
place where you are sending your valuable equipment is in fact an authorized
repair station for that brand. Check their payment terms in advance. If it
is not the factory repair facility, get some real references not ones posted
to a web site.

frequency has a lot to do with the percentage of replies.
I have operated some QRP and never seemd to have much problem from that.
In fact the percentage of answers to calls has always amazed me. QRP must
not be all that far down in the mud thanthe usual 100w signal.

If you go to jarl.or.ip/English/4_Library/A-4-3_contests/AADX.htm you will
find the results for the last five yrs. That may also get u to record
scores but didn''t pursue it. If I messed up my spelling go to SM3CER's
website and just click on web for the appropriate contest. That usually
gets you close to where you want to be.

I enjoy reading the "tips of the weak".
I think most extra effort and skill comes from the people trying to
hear QRP signals. The receiving party is the one doing the actual
work, and suffering the pain and punishment of reading weak
signals.
All contests should award significant bonus points to the stations
that copy QRP signals, rather than to the station who makes an
effort to be weak.
The present system is like horse riding. Women ride side-saddle,
while men straddle the saddle. Totally illogical.

Ok people....So many requested the information on the #2 situation that I
shall fill in with more information.
First however, the intent was not to bad mouth this or any other specific
shop but to emphasize the importance of asking lots of questions before you
send your $3000 or $300 radio off to ANYONE. With that said, let me state
for the record this is only my experience and the shop involved is revealed
only as additional background as to my situation.
The shop is referred to as the Radio Doctor on the web or Ham Repair and is
run by a Mr. Milton Lord in Cartersville, Georgia. Based on my experiences
with this shop I would not recommend them for ICOM repair and would check
carefully on any others.

The awarding of "bonus points" for working Novice or Technician
contestants in the ARRL 10 meter contest is consistant with this
premis: the station taking the extra time and effort to work a
station sending and receiving substantially more slowly than the
average station should be rewarded. To the extent you need extra
fills to complete the QSO with the QRP station, you deserve
extra points for that achievement. This is especially true
in Serial Number contests, such as Sweepstakes, where only the
RECEIVING station is the one penalized for communications problems.
Communications should be a two way street.

As the editor that added the Tip of the Week regarding QRP and zero beat,
let me add my two cents worth...
I do find more QRP stations have a different offset than the usual 800 Hz
so-called "standard". If you are running a YaeKenCom box turned down to QRP
(as I do), they are all pretty much identical as far as offset goes, and so
is TenTec, but there sure seems to be a lot of variation between the smaller
manufacturers. I don't know about Elecraft yet. QRPers are also much more
likely to be operating homebrew rigs or separate receivers and transmitters,
making the issue important.
I didn't put the tip in there as a knock on QRPers, but to point out that
being on-frequency is MUCH more critical in big contests than in casual
operating.
On a similar note, I find that on 20-15-10, Europeans tend to call a couple
hundred Hertz higher than NA and JA stations. Anybody else notice this?
Any opinions?

This will never work Tom.
How would an op know to claim qrp points for a qso?
A few folks on this list have been very vocal about QRP.
"I have no way to know what power the other station was running"
"I never put /qrp in the log"
"using /qrp is illegal" (No...in the USA it's not. Plus not all qrp
ops answer to the FCC)
Life's to short...", yada, yada, yada...
These great ops the feel QRPers are the scum of the earth would never
stand for this Tom.

FYI and for what it's worth department:
I am a little pistol using the Ameritron AL-811H amplifier. The power switch
recently failed. This a little el-cheapo lighted rocker switch made by Carling
and probably other manufacturers. I called Ameritron and talked to a tech
support type. He stated he would mail me a new switch, but I would have to pay
the $7.00 minimum plus UPS charges. He said the switch was less than 2 bux.
What the heck I wanted to get back on the air. A week later UPS delivers a
plain jane rocker switch, no light. This cost me just under $10.00 with the UPS
fee. Called the tech support person back and he said no mistake, that is what
they use now, probably because they could not get the lighted one anymore. I
said something like, "unbelievable" and hung up.
The only indication you have that the amp is turned on are the meter lights,
which failed awhile back, and the power switch. I replaced the meter lamps
with a higher quality lamp from the local surplus store.
The good news: A friend relayed to me that Astron, who uses the same identical
switch, replaced his broken power supply switch free of charge, no questions
asked. I called Astron. The only question the Astron parts lady asked was for
my address. When I asked the charge, she said "none." Here is a company who
likes to keep customers happy.

Weekend Nightly News says "as of now..." the
ARISS/Oregon School spot is scheduled to air on the
Saturday program. (In most markets in the East time
zone it is on at 630p, in the Central Time Zone, 530p,
Mountain and Pacific 5-530-6-or-630p, depending on the
desires of the local station!
I hope you find the broadcast on a channel near you!
Incidentally, the spot is about 2-minutes in length.
AND MOST OF THE TIME IS DEVOTED TO KIDS ASKING AND

Ward, I have noticed this. Perhaps it's just the fact that we work tons of
EU in DX contests here on the east coast and there's thus a noticeable
number of EU stations not zero beat. One thing I do know is that I will
preferentially answer the station that is zb (unless I hear a juicy mult
off-freq).
The problem with the off-freq callers is that they could be on-freq callers
to another station (who I don't hear on 10-15-20) and they're not really
working me! Timing too easily can be right for this to happen.
Of course if I happen to have the 250Hz pair of Inrads cut in, I don't
really hear 'em. OK as long as the stack of stations is still there...

As to how often QRP stations have reasonable signals... quite often
really. Also the antenna system on my end is significant help. If a
QRPer has cleaned up his antennas to maximize what his 5 watts
accomplishes, it's quite likely that I will hear him and copy first
time no troubles.
That said, LOTS of answers to CQ's are off frequency. QRPers and guys
running KW alike.
I really don't know why. I only know that it is a lot harder on the
QRP than the QRO.

The ARRL Letter
Vol. 21, No. 13
Mar 29, 2002
***************
==>DENNIS MOTSCHENBACHER, K7BV, TO JOIN ARRL HEADQUARTERS STAFF
Noted contester and DXpeditioner Dennis Motschenbacher, K7BV, will join
the ARRL Headquarters staff April 1 as sales and marketing manager. In
that role, he'll oversee ARRL's publication and advertising sales as
well as membership recruitment activities.
"We're pleased to have someone with Dennis's Amateur Radio and
professional experience and international stature to take on this
critical management role," said ARRL Chief Operating Officer Mark
Wilson, K1RO. "We expect that he will be a major asset in helping the
ARRL to meet its goals for the future."
An ARRL Life Member and a Minnesota native, Motschenbacher, 54, has been
licensed since 1962 and is no stranger to the ARRL family. For the past
four years, he has been the editor of National Contest Journal,
published by ARRL. Carl Luetzelschwab, K9LA, is replacing K7BV as NCJ
editor starting with the May/June issue.
Motschenbacher told his NCJ readers in his farewell editorial that he
considers the opportunity to work at ARRL Headquarters a dream come
true. "I feel like a kid who has just been granted his fondest wish," he
said. In addition to serving at the NCJ helm, Motschenbacher has been
actively involved in the fundraising and promotion for World Radiosport
Team Championship 2002 (WRTC 2002) and will be a referee at the event in
Finland this summer. In WRTC 2000, he teamed with Ralph Bellas, K9ZO, at
S566Z in Slovenia. He's also operated from various exotic locales.
Moving to the East Coast from Nevada, he says, will rejuvenate Amateur
Radio for him. He and his wife Lieska have arranged to purchase a house
in Eastern Connecticut that has a convenient hill on the property, and
he's already got a permit from the town to erect an 80-foot tower. Four
towers and associated antennas are being transported from Nevada as
well. Motschenbacher says he's never operated from the East Coast--with
the sole exception of the CY9AA DXpedition--and he's eager to experience
propagation from his new location. One down side, he noted, is that
Nevada is a lot more rare as an ARRL section multiplier than
Connecticut.
On the professional side, Motschenbacher brings 30 years of sales,
marketing and business experience to ARRL HQ, primarily in the fire
protection and safety business. Most recently he was president and co
owner of ESG Inc of Reno, which specializes in fire protection systems
for the telecommunications industry worldwide. He says he's eager to put
his sales acumen and entrepreneurial spirit to work on behalf of the
ARRL and Amateur Radio. "I view it as a very strong personal
responsibility to help see Amateur Radio into the future," he said.

-----Or The power switch recently failed. This a little el-cheapo lighted
rocker switch made by Carling and probably other manufacturers. I called
Ameritron and talked to a tech support type. He stated he would mail me a new
switch, but I would have to pay the $7.00 minimum plus UPS charges. He said
the switch was less than 2 bux. What the heck I wanted to get back on the air.
A week later UPS delivers a plain jane rocker switch, no light. This cost me
just under $10.00 with the UPS fee. Called the tech support person back and he
said no mistake, that is what they use now, probably because they could not
get the lighted one anymore. I said something like, "unbelievable" and hung
up.
A good source for switches is : Wes-Garde Components. They have locations
all over USA.

The WPX has a 10 minute band change rule for Mutli-One. How is the
ten minute period determined?
1. Is it based on 6 different 10 minute periods in the hour (i.e.
minute 0..9, 10..19, 20..29, etc)
2. is it based on a any contiguous 10 minutes.
If the RUN station is currently working on 20m and makes a series of
contacts while the MULTIPLIER station is working on 40m, when can
the RUN station switch to 15m?
For example, if the last contact of the RUN station was at 8:30 on
20m and the last contact of the MULTIPLIER station was at 8:35, when
could the RUN station switch to 15m - at 8:40 or 8:45?

This will never work Tom.
How would an op know to claim qrp points for a qso?
A few folks on this list have been very vocal about QRP.
"I have no way to know what power the other station was running"
"I never put /qrp in the log"
"using /qrp is illegal" (No...in the USA it's not. Plus not all qrp

I have recently had some good experiences with the Ameritron customer
support group.
A couple of months ago I bought a second Ameritron AL1500 amplifier. After
installing the tube and power transformer (packaged separately), it came up
and worked fine. However I noticed one oddity about the new amplifier. On
40, 80, and 160 meters the loading control would be at zero (maximum
capacity for the loading capacitor). My older AL1500 used less capacity for
loading on the three low bands but it was close to the same settings for
10, 15, and 20 meters.
I called the Ameritron Customer Support and described my problem to them
and they said that the newer AL1500 models switched in less loading
capacity then the older models. However, the load control should not end up
at zero for the three low bands in spite of that and the newer AL1500
manual agreed with what they said. The amplifier was certainly usable but I
wasn't happy with what I perceived as not enough plate loading capacity as
normal.
The customer support guy walked me through some checks with my capacity
meter to see if any of the fixed caps were bad. But we just couldn't find
anything wrong. After what I thought was a reasonable effort on my part to
isolate the problem I finally said, "I think you should just send me a new
RF deck". They agreed to do this without any argument whatsoever. A few
days later the new RF deck arrived and it worked according to the
specifications in the AL1500 manual. Ameritron also sent me a UPS sticker
for me to return the old RF deck at no cost to me. I see this as good
customer service.
Another Ameritron story:
Soon after replacing my AL1500 a friend brought over an AL1200 that had a
problem. I thought since I had just been digging into my Ameritron amp, I
was on a roll and could help my friend fix his. We found a single bad
capacitor in his power supply bank of 8 capacitors. After determining the
part number of the capacitor, we ordered the part from Ameritron.
However, the part arrived and the new capacitor was physically shorter, had
more capacity, but had the same working voltage. When I called Ameritron
back to ask about it they said, "you must have an older AL1200 because we
can't get those capacitors anymore. We now use the newer capacitors that
are really better anyway."
Since I couldn't use one capacitor that was of different value in the power
supply, I priced seven more capacitors and I priced the entire capacitor
assembly (includes eight capacitors, bleeders, circuit board, and other
components). The entire assemble was actually cheaper then buying seven
more capacitors. When I ordered the capacitor assembly I asked if they
would leave one capacitor off the assembly and credit me for what I paid
for the first capacitor I ordered. They were happy to do this and I was
very satisfied with their help.
The only minor criticism I might have is that it would be helpful for
Ameritron to ask for serial numbers of amplifiers when taking parts orders.
This might allow them to identify part changes in the amplifiers and make
sure their customers get the right parts the first time they call.
Over all, I am extremely satisfied with Ameritron Custom Service.

Gary,
Your answer doesn't explain why a lot of Europeans tend to call *HIGHER*
than zero beat, which was Ward's original observation. The fact that
East Coast stations tend to work a lot of EU does explain why many East
Coasters (as well as others) notice a large number of European off
frequency callers, but it doesn't explain why more Europeans seem to
call higher rather than lower.

I was wondering if there is a different convention for offset standards.
We're all pretty much using the same radios but it seems unlikely that they
are pre-configured by the manufacturer to use different offsets based on the
target market. It's not much of a difference - maybe 200 Hz - but I find
myself leaving the RIT "up a little" when EU stations are answering my CQs.
How about it, EU guys? Is the converse true - that you have to listen a
little lower in frequency when running USA?

A mild (fairly slow velocity) interplanetary shock was observed passing
the ACE spacecraft near 21:42 UTC (4:42 pm EST) on 29 March. The source is
not clear at the present time, but may be related to a coronal hole based
disturbance. More will be known over the ensuing hours as the
characteristics of this disturbance become better established. In any event,
there is an increased potential for periods of enhanced auroral activity
over the next 24 hours. Middle latitude observers should be alert for
periods of favorable conditions. Odds are against significant middle
latitude observations of activity due to the near-full phase of the moon.

Sorry for asking an off-topic question but I just know somebody reading this
can shoot back a quick answer. I am building up an old Mosley Classic-33
tribander wihtout the manual. Can somebody tell me if the Driven Element is
closer to the Director or the Reflector? That was the one thing that didn't
get labeled on disassembly. Thanks.

Message-ID: <000a01c1d810$520acb40$16621dc3@default>
Perhaps I am a bit late for the discussion on Italian kilowwats, but I just
couldn't resist it...
Few years ago I travelled to Italy on busisness and paid a visit to a ham whom
I knew for ages from a band. I was kind od surprised to find him in a workshop
where, among other ham stuff, there was something called HF PA, size of a
decent refridgerator, very carefully manufactured and good looking. I
understood it was predicted to deliver 20 kW out (you read it right) and Henry
2K was used as a driver. Bird 43 with 25 kW (right again) probe was used as a
wattmeter. Dummy load was water-cooled. You actually had to tap the water from
the pipelines, hi... If I remember well, the tube was YU134, size larger than
my head...
There was another small amplifier with 3CX6000, some 8 kW out...
Your mouth are watering? Come on, admit it... never thought of using one of
these babies in a contest, ha?
Yes, I have seen these two amplifiers by my own eyes and purpose for writing
this is not to point out Italian hams as the only superpower users. You can
find them in almost every country in the world. Many of those high scores are
results of extreme powers combined with good antennas and operator skills. In
my country I know for at least two amplifiers with 3CX3000 (two, ha ha ha...).
Some S5 guys proudly talked about their big amps. There are also many others to
whome I hav not spoken , but who could say the same.
Thing is, it is hard to compete in any WW contest due to differences in
regulation among countries. In USA it is 1500 W out, in UK 400W, in Italy 300W
etc. If classification would be on country basis, perhaps people would stick to
the rules ( I do not believe this...). Then, what about dxing... Plus, it is
much easier to build a strong linear than plant a high tower and long boom
yagis...
It is very difficult to trace the use of excessive power, strong signal is not
the only relevant pointer. That makes it much easier to use.
Henry 5K? Henry 8K???? Whom were they dedicated to? Power savers? Tube lovers?
Yeah, forgot to tell you that heating transformer for YU134 was some heavy
thing and wires size of my thumb (180A, right?).
Italy is a beautiful country of nice people, nature, art and of course
kilowats. What I mean is - do not press it too hard on Italy, you can find
extra power next door. Trick is how many of No 1 contesters would let you in
their bedrooms? Sorry, shacks... I bet there you could find lot of active
tuners, coaxial cables with positive losses and dipoles with 10dBi gain...
Be better, power is not all.

I notice that on CW when I start hearing a lot of guys calling me offset in
one direction or the other, it is usually because the QRM is heavier on the
other side. I usually operate LSB CW, which means that I am more likely to
get close to another running station that is down in both my carrier
rejection filter notch and near zero beat, where my audio response rolls
off. But when I do that, it tends to lead to stations calling me lower in
frequency, not higher.
Maybe the calling stations are tending to put the QRM in their "carrier
notch", and if they are using USB CW then that would tend to make them call
on a higher frequency? Just wondering out loud.

I was wondering if there is a different convention for offset standards.
We're all pretty much using the same radios but it seems unlikely that they
are pre-configured by the manufacturer to use different offsets based on the
target market. It's not much of a difference - maybe 200 Hz - but I find
myself leaving the RIT "up a little" when EU stations are answering my CQs.
How about it, EU guys? Is the converse true - that you have to listen a
little lower in frequency when running USA?

Who says that the filters and shift as we in the U.S. see it (700-800 Hz) is
standard in other parts of the world? Could it be different elsewhere,
especially among foreign domestic radios? Could it be a design thing since
there may still be many homebrew transceivers over there...?

Message-ID: <004501c1d894$141403e0$1d1145cf@default>
I was testing my station set ups in the SSB WPX contest and ran into a
potential problem on 40 SSB. This was due to split band operation
required for the Dx to work USA and the unusual band conditions that made
the signals come in from several directions (almost no front to back and
broad signal path). I checked during the day on stations 1000 miles away
and the pattern was still sharp and the beam showed 10 to 15 DB Front to
back. I find that this condition always seems to occur when a magnetic
storm is brewing.
The DX stations were having a hard time deciding who was working who! I
usually stuck in the call of the station first so to cut down any confusion
but two stations who I had not worked said Worked B4 one of whom was D44TD.
If I had been serious this could have been points taken off at both ends for
NIL which usually means penalties. Besides stepping on any number of
existing QSOs (domestic USA) this is a problem with split operation.
I also noted that the was some attempts at jamming by the run over domestic
stations (such as putting SSTV signals on a Dx listening frequency). This
was mostly a waste of time as Contesters usually had much stronger signals
than the domestic rag chewers but I wonder if the FCC telephones were
ringing with interference reports. The other problem I noted was the vast
number of Dx stations below 7040. Several were as low as 7025 working the
SSB contest. This is one time when Digital and CW are QRMed out between
7045 and 7100. Boy the 2003 WRC Conference can't come fast enough if we can
get a 300 khz world wide ham band.

Classic 33 is a good antenna 3 elements on 18 Foot boom,
unlike some of the other Mosleys
the spacing is Director to Driven element 10 Feet
DE to Reflector is 8 Feet.
the Radiator is the longest element when set for CW.

it doesn't matter at all, not one tiny bit, if we like to use different
receive tones.
As long as the transmitter is properly netted to the receiver in
EACH station, they will be on the same frequency when transceive
no matter what pitch each station operator uses.
The only problem is some radios don't net the transmitter to the
receiver, or the user changes pitch by fiddling with passband tuning
without getting inside the radio to change the carrier oscillator
offset to match.
The FT1000 has a set of switches for offset, so when you set the
switches to 500Hz (or whatever) for your favorite tone the
transmitter comes out right spot on.
My old 751A's have an internal adjustment.
Ten Tec radios are particularly bad about this, because if you buy a
"low pitch" CW filter the transmitter offset remains fixed for the
higher frequency CW tone design.

Wow. This cq-contest club is almost as great as the Boring Amateur Radio

Some said the Driven Element was closer to the Director, some said is was
closer to the Reflector. Some said the Classic was the same as a TA-33.
Others said it was not.
Anyways, Tom Tormina, always a very productive resource, faxed me the manual
(although he was not the ONLY person to offer to do so). I now have the
answer. But I got to thinking about Tom and realized he was one of those
operators with Italian surnames who won the SS in the 70s and got cited
statistically for his efforts. Then I remembered that all Italian run big
power, and then it all began to make sense.
:) JUST KIDDING. Happy Easter everybody, and thanks for responding to my

Hi Ward,
It is the first time I hear about this offset, usually everybody is
tuning and listening on zerobeat. ( at least here in europe...)
Then transmit- and receivefrequency is the same on any transceiver.
Probably you like to hear the higher pitched audio, in that case probably
an audio-filter / equalizer is helpful for you

I've always thought this was just my problem of some DX stations calling off
freq. I find that JA's tend to call a bit on the low side, SSB or CW , We
don't normally hear enough EU on 10 M where I tend to operate to notice.

WPX SSB was the inaugural run of N6NF's new station with all the antennas up
and working. If you heard KT6RU and can provide any feedback on how I
sounded (not my voice of course, but rather signal strength!), I'd love to
hear it. Thanks!

They're most certainly PCB-mounted, but that should only stop the most
dedicated QCAO types.
DIN = German Institute for Standardization, but looking any further requires
Euros & I've only got pounds in me pocket.
Some of these funky "DIN plugs" may be covered under the standard, but
I suggest they are used deliberately to force the user to buy these somewhat
hard to find connectors from the equipment manufacturer.
They certainly aren't to be found in component stores here. But then again,
neither are metric threaded M-plugs (aka UHF). Perhaps they're common in
Akihabara, in which case they belong on the domestic versions of the
radios & not the ones sold to the rest of us.
A more permanent alternative to toothpicks is to take the one funky plug
supplied with the radio & making a short cable (a few cm long) from it
terminating into a more common connector.

I just got word of a couple of last-minute changes in operations for this
weekend's ARRL DX SSB contest:
- OH2PM, who had been planning to operate from OH0, is now joining OH2BH
as a M/S entry from EA8BH.
- Filling the OH0 slot will be OH2JTE, operating Single Op as OH0B.
QSL both operations via OH2BH.

Message-ID: <125490A005E3D3118C9C00805FC743CC035B742D@KAHLESS>
Announcing the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet
Editor - Ward Silver, N0AX
(email: rate-sheet@arrl.org)
The ARRL is pleased to announce the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet - to be
published every other week by the ARRL! It's intended to be a useful source
of timely information for both the active and casual contester. The Rate
Sheet will include information about events during the following two-week
period and time-sensitive news items.
The first issue will be published March 13. ARRL Members may subscribe to
the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet by going to the Member Data Page at:
http://www.arrl.org/members-only/memdata.html?modify=1
Note that you must be logged in to the site to access this page. Scroll down
to the section "Which of the following would you like to receive
automatically via email from ARRL?" Check the box for "ARRL Contest Rate
Sheet (biweekly contest newsletter)" and you're all set.
We're going to start with a simple format. To keep the newsletter light and
tight, we'll rely heavily on summaries and links to web pages that make
available more extensive information. Additions and changes will be made
over time as the best use of the newsletter format becomes clearer.
In the meantime, suggestions for content and organization are welcome!
Please send your ideas to rate-sheet@arrl.org.
73, Ward N0AX
****************************************************************************
Here's the overall format and a sample of typical items...
Each issue will begin with a Summary followed by critical bulletin-level
items, such as FCC communications emergencies, short-notice rule changes,
and so forth.
Announcements and Notices for the two-week period being covered will come
next. This will include notices of what contests are running the coming
weekends with Contest Corral text (including web links) and pending log
submission deadlines.
News for this issue follows the announcements section and will include
newsworthy items received during the preceding two weeks. Look for news
reports from the ARRL Contest Desk, announcements of results availability,
changes in contest data bases, software releases, and other news from
contributors.
Technical and Technique items will be included as they are available. I'll
try to include a Contest Tip or very short technical/technique item in each
issue.
Conversational pieces will be included if they're of general interest, such
as limited press releases about contests, products, conventions, or
contesters. And I'll to slip in a humorous aside now and then, such as the
occasional limerick.
The following are samples of the type of information that will be included
in the Rate Sheet:
Announcement - Virginia QSO Party, Phone and CW, sponsored by the Sterling
Park ARC 1800Z, Mar 16 - 0200Z, Mar 18. Frequencies: CW - 1.805 and 50 kHz
up; Phone -1.845 3.860 7.260 14.270 21.370 28.370 kHz; Novice/Tech -- 10 kHz
up and 28.370; VHF/UHF - 50.125 144.200, 146.58, 223.50 446.00 MHz. No
repeater or cross-mode QSOs. SO, MS, MM fixed station and mobile
categories, no time limit, QSOs once per band/mode/VA QTH, VA stations work
everyone, others work VA stations only. Exchange: serial number and SPC or
VA county/city. QSO Points: Phone - 1pt, CW - 2 pts, Mobile - 3 pts.
Multipliers - VA city/counties + SPC. Score: QSO Points x Multipliers
(counted only once). VA mobiles add 100 pts per VA city/county activated.
Add 500 pts for QSO with K4NVA. For more information -
www.qsl.net/sterling. Logs must be emailed or postmarked by Apr 15 to
ks4ii@arrl.net or Virginia QSO Party, Call Box 599, Sterling, VA 20167.
Notice - Log Deadline: New Hampshire QSO Party - March 31 - arrl@nhradio.org
or NH-ARRL, POB 119 Goffstown, NH 03045-0119.
News from the ARRL Contest Desk - The list of Logs Received for the 2001
ARRL International EME Competition was posted after the logs were verified
against the server - see www.arrl.org/contests.
Contest Tip - When operating QRP, don't append "/QRP" to your callsign. At
best it slows your contacts and at worst makes it much harder for the
receiving station to copy your call correctly. You're already running low
power, maximize the probability of correct copy by only sending what's
necessary to get through.
Press Release - N6TR released version 6.63 of TR-LOG on 24 February. Zipped
versions were sent to all subscribed users. A corrected version of the
companion log-processing program POST was also sent as POST 6.63a.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] How many boxes in you shack?
Message-ID: <050901c1c15f$04301b40$62f1a118@tampabay.rr.com>
AA4LT wrote some words worth repeating:
"It was never an issue how many boxes you had on your desk, or in your
shack -- and it shouldn't be an issue today."
I wholeheartedly agree...we are testing an entrants ability to manage the
act of making QSOs - if he can do SO2R like the likes of N5TJ or K1TO - then
more power to them...
Contesting is about pitting one set of gray cells against another. Not I
have more boxes than you do therefore I win - trust me K1TO has been kicking
my butt since when we were Generals and I was using an S Line and he had
some Heathkit junk...
Since the gray cells of K1TO are better than those of K4OJ I will just have
to try and compensate with some more boxes on my desk :-), and he still
whups my butt only to tell me his amp was broke and he was running low
power...go figure ----- is that a concrete wall for me to hit my head on?
This idea of one set of finding on superiorly trained set of gray cells is
also the essence of why packet operating is a dilemma to so many operators -
it is others' gray cells contributing to making QSOs...if K1TO can do this
solo by constantly sweeping the bands with the second RX with only his gray
cells versus me having to resort to packet and adding additional set(s) of
gray cells...well, I should not be in the same category as K1TO who is doing
it with his single set of gray cells...but, we already knew that!
(PS: Dan's brain appears to be migrating outward...at least the gray part
does.)
GL in ARRL DX SSB to everybody.

Europe. The rate to Japan is $4.05. This means that if you have anything
over about 6 ounces of QSLs going to any single bureau, it is more
economical to forward your QSLs directly, rather than going through the
ARRL outgoing bureau, at $8.00 a pound plus domestic postage.
The savings can be worthwhile. I just sent 26 packages of QSLs to various
bureaus (the DL bureau got 3) for a total cost of $84. They weighed a
total of 19 lb, which would have cost $152 plus $7 postage through the
outgoing bureau. I still had 8 pounds to go via the ARRL, for $64 plus $5
postage, or a total of $69.00.
I had my QSLs printed locally at a cost of $95 for 4000 cards, and printed
the QSL data (5800 QSOs) directly on the cards with DX4WIN.
I think I've squeezed the costs pretty hard. Even so, and not putting any
value on my time (this is a hobby, right?), or on inkjet printer ink, I
figure the total cost of QSLing this batch at $248, or 4.3 cents per QSO.
Is it any wonder that I'm really looking forward to the advent of ARRL's
Logbook of the World?

I have a chance to buy a mint Alpha 91B amplifier with nearly no hours
use for a good price. Having sold an Alpha 76CA recently I would
like to replace it. Anyone out there have any serious negative
comments about the 91B? It does come with the extended warranty.
Thanks

Has anyone noticed that TO4T who said he was in Guadeloupe is not in the
current country file for contest software and thus isn't counted as a mult?

So add him to your country.dat file (or whatever your
logging software calls it) and recompile it, already, it
will make you happy, happy. I did during the contest, (mine
was a very part time effort). :-( The log checking
software will score it correctly, anyway.
Hope you made more Q's than I did. Had to work both days,
with Sunday being 14.5 hours, (live TV telethon).

Was out of town on business for a week. So Saturday's trip by the PO Box was
very rewarding. Received the latest issues of CQ and QEX, and a couple of
fishing magazines!
CQ?

Just open CTY.DAT file (edit) and add TO4T to Guadelope (FG).

I fixed it for TR log but my question is more basic.
How would a casual contestor (who may use contest/logging software) know
that TO4T is FG not FM or something else if it's not in the latest country
file and not separated in the DXCC booklet listing international call sign
allocations? Would TO4T really need to announce his location after every
QSO or so?!? I am on several email lists but several new contestors are
likely not to be. This is not just a rhetorical question---we have some
new contestors in the area.

Note: With the recent changeover to Mailman and new changes at
the Web submission page, we have had some hiccup's. Yes, I
know the EA8ZS score was incomplete and I have asked for
an update from the database. If you see any other
weirdness, please let me know. Also, submissions not made
through the Web submission page may be delayed if you do
not subscribe to 3830 as the approval process is more of
a batch mode process now rather than individual emails.
Your patience is appreciated. 73 dink

Yep, sure did notice that. Especially after it placed "///////" in the Mult
column after I entered the QSOs. (Am using NA here).
Let's see if one of the computer guys here comes up with a "fix". The only
way I could get it to "count" was to enter the callsign as TO4T/FG and if I
were to turn the logs in like that it may cost me 3 QSOs and 3 Mults since
that is not really the callsign he was signing! Ugly for anyone, and uglier
for a small score like mine!

Message-ID: <015e01c1c366$db50a320$a74748d9@home>
My name is Ted, callsign S51TA , age 23, active ham. I was never
disqualified or non-classificated in any of the contests except in case of
SCC-Slovenia Contest Club, in which committee can do whatever they want.
First some preface;
As a very active and young contester I was also very active in SCC-Slovenia
Contest Club and because of that, I quickly (1st) became member of
supervising committee of SCC and after a year I became a president of
supervising committee of SCC at age 19. Two presidents of this committee
make resignation before me, University professor s50k, and well-known s5
politician s50o because of strange things were happening mostly with money
transfers! (Nobody want to have dirty hands with that-ham radio is a hobby).
But I was only 19 (and happy to be among the top s5 ops) and started to work
as a president of the supervising committee! After a year they wanted me to
sign the papers as they prepared them but I doubted in such behaviour and
said "wait a second guys, I am not prepared to do things like this".( I am
young, raised in democracy, and with plans for a "clean" future.
After that they deposed me without my knowledge, and started to make things
difficult to me in every single way! Everything started few weeks before
WRTC2000, from which they wanted to depose me again but they could not,
because I came with a lawyer on hearings.
There is a much longer and juicy story behind this but that is not the
reason I am writing you today. For futher information and to ease making
final judgement maybe contact some hams from YU, Z3, LY, OH or non SCC
members!
In the year 2000 I was claimed 1st in EUHFC in LP Mixed category, but was
removed from classification list with no good reason, but with a bad
explanation, that contest committee did not get what they wanted/requested.
The winning person was of course S50A, the president of SCC.(They wanted
restart.bin from TR).
We were having big verbal fights about that. S56A contacted Tree, N6TR and
they proved to SCC that is possible that TR software gave out double serial
number, which happened to me, as it was the reason for non classification.
Last year (2001) I send the log, and again some problems..they wanted me to
send them a certificate from cabrillo that I was making contest within the
limitations. Only s56a and me were ordered to send this!
And here the scores are, they ranged me #4 and in final comments they wrote;
"The Sanctioning Committee discussed also the case of unsportsmanlike
conduct of S51TA and this operator is excluded from future contests
organized by Slovenia Contest Club."
I believe such committee cannot decide on and do sanctions like this. I"ve
send a letter in which I wanted an explanation, but till today nothing
happened!
I am asking you contesters if such thing ever happened to you?
I believe I am the 1st on planet Earth, ever treated in such way, with no
reason, only because I told to everyone about their business and trades in
S5 and because I was loyal to myself and I was only telling the truth and
nothing but the truth.
If the SCC would be a real ham radio club for connecting ham radio
operators the number of contesters which donate points would raise or stay
the same, but lately, a big percentage of hams do not donate points to SCC
anymore!
Sorry for bothering you with such things, but I believe it is important for
me and some others to talk freely about the things happening around, It is
our hobby isn"t it? And I do want that this hobby will also be "clean" in
the future!
Maybe some non-democratic leaders will wake up!

I'be been surprised by how little (like no) comment there has been on the
changes to the club competition rules. Most of them are all to the good,
but I'm perplexed by the change in the club area. The new rule, to go into
effect this coming November, says that, "Medium and unlimited clubs now may
define their club service area either as a 175-mile radius circle or as an
entire ARRL section. This change will allow clubs from larger states than
encompass entire ARRL sections to compete with each other. Clubs may select
one definition or the other but not both."
It seems to me that this change will have little, if any, practical effect.
In the densely populated areas, ARRL sections are smaller than the
175-mile circle, while out in the center of the country, clubs are drawing
their circles to encompass as many population centers as possible.
Sections typically are identical to states, and in many cases --up and down
the Mississippi/Missouri, for example -- population clusters tend to occur
in different states separated by rivers.
Do any of the contest clubs out in the Black Hole see any advantage to the
new rule? Meanwhile, in Florida, where Florida Contest Group's plight did
a lot to raise the issue in the first place, the new rule brings no relief
at all.

The answer is that they should just log it correctly and figure out what it
is later.
Discussions like this always occur and reveals these "mysteries" right after

Off the top of my head, the only ones I can see being helped, are the
good folks of Tennessee, since their 175-mile circle doesn't cover the
whole state ... but of course, the section definition would solve that
problem for them nicely.

Yes, we in Florida are painfully aware of this situation. A good
portion of our 175-mile circle covers water ... no matter where we put
it! With 3 ARRL sections in Florida, that doesn't help either ... we
have members in all three sections. I proposed something using Grid
Squares, but that didn't fly either.
If anyone can come up with a workable solution for EVERYONE ... I'm sure
we can arrange for you to become an "honorary Chad"!

Just LU/Argentina. The /H refers to the district, only /Z would potentially be
interesting (one of the VP8-equivalents). It's hard to get these right, but
Cabrillo won't care.

This is a non-issue with Cabrillo, since mults are not counted, and I think
we can count on the log checkers to know who and where TO4T is.

Hello Contesters,
here is a little list with signals strengths as written down last
weekend.
Rig was a TS870 and a ground mounted trap vertical (Fritzel GPA40).
QTH nr Munich/Germany.
Some remarks:
This year, there wasn't the usual big advantage of the New England Area.
Also stations from other parts of W/VE were strong.
Often signals strengths from the west coast follow this rule:
CA > OR > WA > VE7. This year that wasn't true, K7RI W7WA NK7U
had BIG signals on 15m. K9JF was very strong on 10m.
K9NS (every band) and K0DU (20m) were in line with the big guys from the
East. N6RO
strong as usual. W4ZV was strongest on 10m, followed by KR1G. W4ZV was
really
massive. There were also some good signals from the South, like N5YA and
KR5V.
In general, most of the stations were close together in strength.
15m was open at 3h in the morning local time. I could still hear some of
the
W7's calling CQ...
If you think your signal is not listed where it should be...
1. I worked a few guys who were obviously beaming elsewhere, because I
could hear
them working more UA0, YB etc.. than other Europeans.
2. I listened a few times to DL6RAI running stations. Those he worked
were between
S3 and S5 on average here. So if you are at S8: That's loud!

The important thing to remember about TO4T (and any others), is that you
don't have to know at the time that he's in Guadeloupe to get credit for the
multiplier. All electronic logs are re-run and scored against a common,
up-to-date country file, so it really doesn't matter how many multipliers
you claim, high or low; the log checkers will give you the right score.
In CT, if you type "TO4T=FG" during the contest the software will recognize
the multiplier correctly, but since the .cty file doesn't get changed I
never bother until after the contest.

We (the Tennessee Contest Group) have also been pushing this. It will
benefit us considerably. The geographic center of the state is
Murfreesboro. (which also happens to be home to a fair bit of contest
activity) Memphis is just about exactly 175 miles from Murfreesboro - as is
Knoxville. Some Memphis residents were eligible to compete with us, while
others weren't! Likewise in Knoxville. And the excellent ops in the
Tri-Cities area near Kingsport were out altogether, about 70 miles too far
east.
We could manipulate the circle to encompass both Nashville and the
Tri-Cities, but then West Tennessee would be out in the cold. We could move
the circle west to include Memphis, at the expense of tossing out Knoxville
and the Tri-Cities. Neither of these two areas has enough activity to
support a decent contest club of its own.
Switching to the new option will cost us a handful of participants in the
Huntsville, Alabama and southern Kentucky areas. (in ARRL contests - they
are still welcome to participate in CQ and NCJ tests) Still, it's a change
for the better for us.
-------------------------------------------
Florida probably did shoot themselves in the foot by creating WcF. (how do
you "un-create" a section?!) I can see some other sections possibly
benefitting from the change - notably artificially large sections like
Michigan and Ohio. It might also make possible the creation of worthwhile
contest clubs in very sparsely-populated areas of the West. The Wyoming
Contest Group may never be competitive, but at least a would-be contester in
Cody could submit his score for a club.
I can see the possibility of benefit for MWA (Minnesota) as well, though
there aren't a whole lot of contesters in the vicinity of Thief River
Falls<g>.
-------------------------------------------
I might suggest that Black Hole clubs (SMC, MRRC) developed the way they did
*because* of the rule. (and would have developed differently if it didn't
exist) Might all Wisconsin ops have joined a Wisconsin-based club if
Milwaukee and Eau Claire operators (W0AIH) could have participated in the
same group?

FG/TO4T...
I heard more than one person ask TO4T for their country on the air. That's
probably the right answer. It probably also taught them to use a FG call
next time!

Oven,
After several years of lurking, it would seem that this group is ripe
for an official amateur radio contesting FAQ to be created and maintained..
unless there is already such a beast that I missed. I haven't seen one
mentioned, but the need is apparent.
Speaking of FAQ's, I saw a message a few after this, about software not
liking the LU who was signing /H in his callsign. What does the CQWW
committee recommend on logging the following 'portable' extensions ?? There
was a reference to signing /QRP in this weeks OPDX bulletin.
xx#zzz/p
xx$zzz/qrp
xx$zzz/mm maritime mobile, and if so, do I need a region R# designator too
?
JA#xxx/# is a common one .. perhaps it is still a legal requirement in some
countries ??
as well as others that I can't recall at the moment <grin>. Would also like
to hear the ARRL opinion if it differs materially from CQ's.
btw, I heard a rumor that the LU signing the slash H was activating a rare
region of LU .. perhaps to promote some clubs groups award (?) ... but I
only vaguely recall hearing that implied in a qso he was in before I worked
him .. ! That was so many Q's ago <grin>

Rich, I do not believe that is correct. CT will write the update to the
country file "on the fly". If you find that is NOT the case, please let me
know ASAP.

Message-ID:
<20020304184341.YIZA11747.mtiwmhc23.worldnet.att.net@webmail.worldnet.att.net>
I suspect that French licensing officials have
determined that TO4 is a designate call for Guadeloupe.
The same as the FCC has determined the calls that are
appropriate for its territorial (or non-continental
states) entities. The updating of contest software to
keep up with such calls is a continuing process. There
is no need to suggest that this was a rules violation.
I am sure they were signing a call allocated to
Guadeloupe by the French licensing authorities.
Software will now be updated to include TO4 = FG with
the next revision.
It is very easy to take care of this during the contest
if you want your score readout to be correct. It used
to be that in CT you could type TO4 = FG and it would be
correct. I assume you can still do that. NA does not
accept =. What I do under the circumstances is to log
it each time as TO4T/FG and make a note to delete
the "/FG" with a text editor before submitting the
Cabrillo file. If you don't care that the cumulative
score in your computer may be wrong, you need to do
nothing. The Cabrillo file will be scored without
regard to what you think is a new country. As long as
the logcheckers have determined that TO4T = FG, it will
be scored that way without the need of any help from the
contestant.
Experienced contesters, particularly those with
directional antennas, should suspect that stations with
calls like TO4T that are loud and are coming in from the
direction of the Caribbean are actually in the
Caribbean. If your software doesn't recognize it, or
recognizes it only as France, your only alternative is
to ask (which I did on the first QSO).
I imagine that the operators of TO4T wanted a new prefix
more than they wanted instant country recognition.
Continued use of that prefix will bring more recognition.

Why don't we just figure the area of the 175 mile circle (let's see... pi r
squared ==~96000 sq miles), and allow any shaped figure.
My club borders will be 10 miles wide and 9600 miles long. It includes
CN8WW, EA8BH, ZD8Z, etc. :.)

We (the Tennessee Contest Group) have also been pushing this. It will
benefit us considerably. The geographic center of the state is
Murfreesboro. (which also happens to be home to a fair bit of contest
activity) Memphis is just about exactly 175 miles from Murfreesboro - as
is
Knoxville. Some Memphis residents were eligible to compete with us,
while
others weren't! Likewise in Knoxville. And the excellent ops in the
Tri-Cities area near Kingsport were out altogether, about 70 miles too
far
east.
We could manipulate the circle to encompass both Nashville and the
Tri-Cities, but then West Tennessee would be out in the cold. We
could move
the circle west to include Memphis, at the expense of tossing out
Knoxville
and the Tri-Cities. Neither of these two areas has enough activity to
support a decent contest club of its own.
Switching to the new option will cost us a handful of participants in the
Huntsville, Alabama and southern Kentucky areas. (in ARRL contests -
they
are still welcome to participate in CQ and NCJ tests) Still, it's a change
for the better for us.
-------------------------------------------
Florida probably did shoot themselves in the foot by creating WcF.
(how do
you "un-create" a section?!) I can see some other sections possibly
benefitting from the change - notably artificially large sections like
Michigan and Ohio. It might also make possible the creation of
worthwhile
contest clubs in very sparsely-populated areas of the West. The
Wyoming
Contest Group may never be competitive, but at least a would-be
contester in
Cody could submit his score for a club.
I can see the possibility of benefit for MWA (Minnesota) as well, though
there aren't a whole lot of contesters in the vicinity of Thief River
Falls<g>.
-------------------------------------------
I might suggest that Black Hole clubs (SMC, MRRC) developed the way
they did
*because* of the rule. (and would have developed differently if it didn't
exist) Might all Wisconsin ops have joined a Wisconsin-based club if
Milwaukee and Eau Claire operators (W0AIH) could have participated
in the
same group?

entity a
callsign indicates? Really, technically, they should have been IDing as
FG/TO4T...
I heard more than one person ask TO4T for their country on the air.
That's
probably the right answer. It probably also taught them to use a FG call
next time!

Hi Dick,
LU /H is the Argentine state of Cordoba, north central part
of the country. Callsigns in Argentina show the state using
the letter following the number. See page 17-45 in the ARRL

I hate it when I misspeak. Maybe can be blamed on lack of sleep due to ARRL
DX?
*My QTH* is equidistant from Memphis & Knoxville. The TCG club center in
Murfreesboro isn't - the map and Jay's commetns are accurate.

The casual contester will be pleasantly surprised to find that
their score has been increased rather than decreased as a
result of the UBN log checking process. That is the process
that establishes what is a multiplier and where it gets counted.
The score listed on the cabrillo entry does not mean anything
as, as I understand it, scores are computed in the checking
process.

Well, I'm fairly embarrassed. I wrote my preceding message based on
information I looked up on the USPS web site last week. When I actually
went into the post office today, I found out that all the rates had
increased (presumably March 1). 16 oz or less to Western European
countries is now $3.80, vs $3.20. To Eastern Europe and Russia, it is
$4.95, but Japan remains unchanged at $4.05.
This means that the crossover points at which it makes sense to send
direct, rather than through the ARRL bureau, are considerably higher. For
Western Europe, it is up to around 7-8 ounces, while for Eastern Europe it
is at least 10 ounces. Japan remains unchanged at 8-9 ounces. Sorry if I
misled anyone, but I wasn't expecting a price increase, particularly not
one of this magnitude!
One further refinement. Savings are maximized at a pound per direct
shipment. If you have, for example, 20 ounces to send to one Western
European bureau, your optimum strategy would be to send 16 oz direct and 4
oz via the ARRL, yielding a total cost of $5.80 plus a little domestic
postage. If you split the 20 oz into two direct shipments, you pay $7.60.
When your total to one destination reaches 23-24 oz, it makes sense again
to send both via international mail.

Message-ID: <02f401c1c407$f562e9c0$62f1a118@tampabay.rr.com>
Probably because you guys simply turn your beams South to work Florida you
do not realize how "tall" Florida is North to South...it is NOT a small
state, when I lived near Miami and drove to the Northeast the hurdle was
getting out of Florida - once you got out at least there were state lines in
the near future! Because we are not recognized as being as big as we are,
comments like this one from W9WI are fairly typical:
"Florida probably did shoot themselves in the foot by creating WcF."
The reason for the creation of the WCF section was due to ARRL officers who
were either North FL based (Jacksonville) or South Florida based (Miami) not
being able to have good communication with the hams in the central part of
the state - it is a four and a half plus hour drive from my QTH near Tampa
to Miami, and that is with a heavy foot!
Tampa, the heart of the WCF section was just too far from SFL for appointed
officials who lived in the Miami area to be able to do it justice...it
needed its own section - just wish you guys would learn it
Whiskey Charlie Fox
West Central Florida
WCF
....its been over two years now guys!
As far as ARRL affiliated club turf...I question whether or not the TCG
realizes that the new rules are "either/or", but not both, the radius or the
section. I know there were a lot of TCG members NOT in Tennessee...if they
adopt the Section version of the new rules then these guys (mostly KY hams I
think) are going to be without a club.
Our situation in Florida is a very unique one since we are a
peninsula...unfortunately since the infamous circle is much wider than the
state is. A large portion of any circle drawn within Florida results in
roughly a third of that area being in either the Atlantic or the Gulf of
Mexico.
This is a shame, especially since there is an active contester population in
the panhandle of Florida....to accommodate these hams our club developed an
FCG Panhandle Club - just for times when we must compete in ARRL events and
their scores are NOT allowed to be grouped with the rest of ours. This is a
shame, within our own state we have like minded hams who cannot compete side
by side with us.
The ARRL's new guidelines with the either/or option for club turf will
probably not cause a big difference for anyone other than the TCG who now
can have all Tennesseeans (but will have to forsake previous contributions
by others out of state who previously were joined with them).
Until someone in Florida can come up with an easy way for the ARRL to
calculate land area for use in club territory definitions I guess we will
just have to get ready for the
FLORIDA QSO PARTY! Its only 54 days away!
Please help Florida contesters get over our disappointment at the club
restructuring dilemna's resolution by working us in the FQP.
Hams from all walks of life, even Dentists, enjoy the FQP. Florida works
the world and you work us on 10 through 40 meters!
Check out the full details at the FQP website - where you can also sign up
for the FQP re-mailer to keep you up to speed on this years FQP April 27/28!
Go to the FQP website at:
http://www.qsl.net/fqp
Stats/Records, etc can be found there...the FQP is a QSO Party run by
contesters, the results are meticulously tabulated by current WRTC 2 time
co-champion K1TO and you are assured of fast paced snappy contest

Join us, it is a fun contest! Not a BORING one.

How do you enter a power of 50mW so the log checking software knows what
you mean???
Life's too short for QRP!

AB0MV asked how the casual contester is to know where a TO# call is.
Good question. You can't. They're French. After SECAM & yellow
headlamps, TO4T being in FG is to be expected - northern hemisphere,
southern hemisphere, this ocean & that ocean, I believe this makes the
third TO call I've seen in recent times & I've yet to figure it out.
WFWL & always log what the other station sends & not what you think
your logging program needs to see.

G4ELJ gave me 100 milliwatts but said "001". I told him
I was logging it as "0R1". For any non-CW types, "R" is the
code for decimal point...as in "3R5 MHZ" for 3.5 MHz. So I
would use "R05" for 50 milliwatts. Don't know if this is
totally acceptable but I've used it before with no problems
that I recall.

This has been the summary from ****. Due to my own errors
I keep messing up the data. So far, I've managed to drop
the most significant digit on mults and band data.
I think I've been through every post three times now.
Yuck! Thanks for your patience.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Perhaps I'll be disqualified?
Message-ID: <005701c1c508$6b5494c0$e5a5fea9@dell>
I have a token entry for ARRL DX SSB - just 30 QSOs on 10m.
I didn't call CQ, but called W/VE stations directly and
received 59/State from everyone. My response, for every one
of the 30 QSOs, was "Thanks, one hundred."
No-one queried this or asked for a signal report. They just
kept right on going. Why? Because they're contesters, and
they had all the information they needed.
RS(T) doesn't matter because -
(1) It's already entered as 59(9) by the logging software.
(2) It is not cross-checked.
(3) It has no meaning, significance or value in contests.
(4) It is not needed on QSLs for any ARRL award.
Anyway, I broke the rules and probably gained an unfair
advantage, so perhaps I'll be disqualified?
If not, it's likely you'll not hear 59(9) from me again in
major contests. As some Summary Sheets say - "Unless
otherwise indicated, all reports were 59(9)".

Hi Gang
I would appreciate your comments on the next topic for my Contest Tips,
Tricks & Techniques column. Please reply directly and be sure your call
sign is in your response. Please reply by March 8. Thanks!
Station and operating changes as the sunspots decline
Most predictions for the current sunspot cycle suggested we would be on our
way down, but the double peak has given us a reprieve. We are living on
borrowed time and all too soon we will be on the downward slope. What
station plans do you plan to make to be more in tune to future conditions?
When do you plan to make these changes? What contests will you operate that
you avoided during the sunspot peak? Conversely, what contests will you
stop operating as solar conditions deteriorate? Will you operate fewer
contests in the next few years because of conditions?

I'll be in Istanbul for the ITU World Telecommunications Development
Conference that runs from March 17-27.
I'd love to get together with other contesters in the area and
those who are coming in for the Conference.
I've heard that the Turkish IARU society will be operating a
special event station, but don't know any details.
If you're interested in gathering, please send me me contact

A question for all of us, since I have detected some rumblings about
certain people being spotted more than others etc in the last couple
of contests.
I was doing my normal S&P during the ARRL DX SSB and was asked
by some European DX stations if I had access to the internet -
in order to spot them.
I said no, since I actually don't have the net hooked up to my
ham radio computer...
But I felt it raised an interesting question - if that station is running
unassisted - is that possibly a rules violation in that category?
I assume I wasn't the first or the last person asked to do that.

It is a rules violation even if they are in a catagory
that allows assistance.

3.14. In contests where spotting nets are permissible, spotting your

Good question. You can't. They're French. After SECAM & yellow

southern hemisphere, this ocean & that ocean, I believe this makes the
third TO call I've seen in recent times & I've yet to figure it out.
WFWL & always log what the other station sends & not what you think

I was logging it as "0R1". For any non-CW types, "R" is the

would use "R05" for 50 milliwatts. Don't know if this is

After having been 'temporarily' QRT for 20 years until a year ago, I
had not kept up with these new innovations in ham radio like
DX-clusters, spotting, logging software w/ electronic keying, etc. Thus
the contesting experience now is quite different from what it used to
be in late 70's...
Until the CQWW CW contest last fall I had not taken an interest in
finding out what clusters did in conection with contesting (I had
understood it was used in 'normal' operation to make fellow hams aware
of interesting DX station activity).
Running 100W with a vertical dipole (Force12 Sigma5 - excellent stuff),
I am basically an S&P contester. However, once and a while on an open
10 meters band it is tempting to act like the 'big shots'; find a free
spot and call CQ contest.
Normally, with some hard work and patience I manage to pull in a few US
callers this way. In one of my few attempts on keeping a frequency
this way in the named CQWW CW contest, I suddenly had a massive wall of
callers - whow - what an experience. I had fun for as long as it
lasted, but it died out after a while. At the time I thought it was
purely due to good luck and a relatively strong signal over there for a
moment in time.
After the contest I started wondering what actually could have caused
this momentary rush to contact me. Aha, maybe clusters could have
something to do with it? I made a 'spot archive lookup' on the
DX-central. And right enough, there was my call listed (by W3LPL I
think it was - thanks by the way) just at the time when I had the
momentary 140 QSO's per hour run.
Enough said; but my point is that it had a tremendous effect on my QSO
rate - from some 30-40/hour in 'S&P mode' to 140/hour in 'spotted
mode'. I just can imagine how stations begging to be spotted can
enhance their score and outperform their competition by egoistic
rudeless active use of sharp elbows.

I was asked by no less than 10 European stations to put them on the cluster
during ARRL DX SSB...Two that come to mind are well known, high scoring
operations...READ THE RULES GUYS!!! I suspect this kind of violation could have
you turfed from the competition...

This doesn't go nearly far enough, IMHO. Yes, that's the way the rule is
written today, but I think we need to find a way to tighten up on this
considerably, else our contest games will (have?) degenerate into nothing
but a beauty contest.
Let's look at some possibilities which skate past this wording, but which I
think defy the intent of the rule and cause enormous damage to the integrity
of the game:
"Hey Bill, I'm going for a new record this coming weekend, and I really need
your help. Spot me early and spot me often...drum me up like you've never
done before!"
"OK, club members, let's put this club on the map. I'm going for a record
this weekend, and I need you ALL to spot me early and spot me often."
Get my drift? I'm not saying this has happened, though I'm seriously
wondering. I do think it's legal, per the rules, but I also think this kind
of stuff stinks. In the best of all worlds, cluster systems would die of
their own accord because people would come to understand the damage they are
doing to our hobby and decide they don't need a crutch. Failing that,
though, I do think we need to work toward some kind of system which would
defeat the kinds of attempts to defeat the system I mentioned above. We
could never get all the local clusters to shut down during contests, but
there are just a few key connection points which could be disabled if we all
could come to a consensus on this. Else, as I'm said, we're running a
beauty contest. And I don't think I'm up to competing in that kind of a
game!

Subject: [CQ-Contest] An ounce of prevention...
Message-ID: <cmb6nufi2p4ckh1.070320021511@designet-jsi>
While not everything was perfect for us during last weekends ARRL DX SSB
Contest, one thing went extremely well. Here's the story...
We were a casual M/2 operation. On Sunday morning, I was operating 10m and W1VE
was on the 15m station. We were running like crazy. Suddenly, there was a power
glitch in the house. The Acom amps turned off. All the digital clocks in the
house were blinking. The refrigerator went through its self-test sequence.
Except for having to restart the Acom amps, the entire contest station -
radios, computers, accessories - stayed on-the-air . We didn't miss a beat.
Why? A few months ago, after some disastrous brushes with lightning, one of the
protective measures I took was to buy a used 2kVA UPS on eBay. The unit powers
EVERY 110vac device in my office/shack. The UPS sustained the power to
everything through the glitch - eliminating what would have been, at a minimum,
a costly 30+ minute recovery process to get all the computers, logs and radios
back on-the-air. And, it could have been a lot worse than that! ["Excuse me,
ZF2MM, we had a little power failure up here. May I please have my frequency
back?" I don't think so.]
Needless to say, I highly recommend a UPS for the well-prepared contester's
shack!

Dear Howie,
Don't worry about the milliwatt. Yes, the logging programs roll it to 1
(for 1 watt). The robot will work it out.
There seems to be confusion regarding the 1000 watt indentifier as well.
Using the common k, kw, 1k, 1000 will all work. As far as the RST it must
be 59 or 599 (no abbreviations).
Hope that answers your question. Thank you for your email.

Hi Dan-
I might as well get the answer on this for next year..
A few qrp'ers gave us their milliwatts. Being an impatient soul, I quickly
logged as 1.
Technically, they should be logged as 0.1, 0.5, whatever.
How would you like us to log these (*&^%*& folks ?
73, Howie

What Guys said is accurate (of course). On the TRLog reflector Tree said
that the log chk program would convert all K and KWs to 1000 and then
proceed. I have no idea what is to be done with the 100mw entries we
occasionally got. 73.

Operator A goes to US multi op station. He works 30 hours and goes home.
Operator A gets on from home and spots multi op station he just left on
packet.
Operator A does this repeatedly on more than one band knowing full well the
spots are being populated to a global packet network.
Anyone besides me have a problem with that?
If so, what penalties, if any, are appropriate?

No. Not at all. When you are at home, you are no longer a part of the multi
operation. If you were still at the station & doing this, it is indeed
unethical.
But, then again, how do you control this? Can't.
As far as announcing operations in advance. What is the problem? Should it be
a secret? Nah. Should a station ask to be spotted, and often? Well, dunno.
Not really. But, again, how is it regulated? But, then again, why not?? As
long as it is PRIOR to the contest & not during it.

K5TR -
All I can say is very interesting research. I'm sure that
will spawn a lot of debate...and maybe others should
do a search as well....because...
I just ran a search on the DX-SUMMIT spot database and
found something very interesting as well....a spot from the
contest under MY call - looking like I posted YP3A -
the problem is, I didn't spot anyone during the contest,
because I'm not connected to the net at my ham computer.
NS3T 21246.5 YP3A YO2010 02 Mar 2002
That means "someone else" spotted YP3A - trying to
make it look like I did...probably trying to attract
some attention and extra QSO's.
I certainly can't prove that it was someone at YP3A, but
someone faked a spot by me - unethical and obviously
rather illegal.
That is unfortunate. I am sure it happened to others.

Hi George:
I didn't want to let this go by without comment. As one of the 40 meter
operators at W3LPL for the ARRL DX SSB contest, I made some of the spots
that you have listed.
Workload permitting, I will spot EVERY G3, DL5, ZF2, JA, etc., that I find
tuning the band. I certainly made no special effort to spot (or not to
spot) ZF2MM. Just another dupe! :-)

========================>
I have always tried to use mimicry and parrot repeats with an attempt to
show others how ridiculous they might actually be, in and on many platforms
of life.
As but example, I also posted for ZF2MM in the ARRL SSB test..... but look
at what my note was in that post.............. I was trying to arouse (
land to see how stupid their posts were becoming.
Those repeated 9 land posts for ZF2MM were more like a Jerry Lewis telethon
money begs than meaningful contributions to the performance of their fellow
contesters.
I, for one, resent being herded to a QSO like a fish to a net.
I like to think I herd more like a cat.
I have always used quotations and acts of blatantly dumb mimicry in the
hope that I might appear or sound so foolish as to bring others within reason.
IF I POST MYSELF IN A CONTEST ............ I WANT OTHERS TO SEE IT.
I WANT IT NOT LIKED.
I WANT OTHERS TO REALIZE IT IS WRONG AND STUPID.
And in consideration of same ,,,,,,,,,,,,, I do not send in my score on
contests where I do such acts.
For the 160 contest, and for ARRL SSB, my logs will ONLY serve as check logs.
I will always hope that others laughing with me (even "at" me if that is
what it takes) might arouse others to a deeper questioning of themselves
and their actions.
BTW, so as to better support your understanding of what I sometimes do.....
Have you ever heard 160 down here at 2100 ZULU ???
About the only thing I could have done to attempt to be more ridiculous
would have been to post myself at high noon.
As I recall, I posted myself as being on 160 during the ARRL SSB test, as well.
I believe I did my self post around noon time Texas time. Duh !?
You know, Ham radio and contesting IS JUST A HOBBY !
IT IS CERTAINLY TO BE ENJOYED.
Radio and contesting is certainly NOT to be a platform for cheating others
of their enjoyment.
Fine performances results in contests should be performance of high
standard, not necessarily performances of high scores.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Buying a UPS [Was: An ounce of prevention...]
Message-ID: <puxs341m0act3nz.080320020911@designet-jsi>
Since so many people have responded privately with questions, I thought I would
share some additional information with everyone.
How much capacity do I need in my UPS?
You need to know how much power will be drawn when the unit kickc in and the
length of time you want the mains voltage to be available to the equipment. APC
provides a calculator to help you figure this out
[http://www.apc.com/template/size/apc/].
What else should I look for in UPS features?
The only other thing that's nice is the "unattended server shutdown" feature.
This is a piece of software on your computer that connects to the UPS over a
serial port, and detects when the UPS has gone active. It then gracefully shuts
down the computer. Some UPSs and their software can handle multiple computers.
This is great if you are away from the shack when the power fails.
What companies sell these things?
APC www.apc.com
Tripplite
How much should I pay for a UPS?
As much as you want. You can buy low-power units at Wallmart or Costco or BJ's
for under $100. I bought a used commercial unit APC Smart UPS 2200 RM3U on ebay
[www.ebay.com] for $600. This unit is a 2200VA rack-mount system. You can pay a
lot more for more power. There are all kinds of deals on ebay. Enter "APC UPS"
in the search engine. The only thing you need to watch out for is whether the
batteries are dead. All you can do on ebay is ask specifically and trust the
seller. On the other hand, there is a strong secondary market for good
batteries. This is because some safety regulations actually require scheduled
battery replacement - whether the batteries are good or bad.
That's about all I know!

RE: An ounce of prevention...
While not everything was perfect for us during last weekends ARRL DX SSB
Contest, one thing went extremely well. Here's the story...
We were a casual M/2 operation. On Sunday morning, I was operating 10m and W1VE
was on the 15m station. We were running like crazy. Suddenly, there was a power
glitch in the house. The Acom amps turned off. All the digital clocks in the
house were blinking. The refrigerator went through its self-test sequence.
Except for having to restart the Acom amps, the entire contest station -
radios, computers, accessories - stayed on-the-air . We didn't miss a beat.
Why? A few months ago, after some disastrous brushes with lightning, one of the
protective measures I took was to buy a used 2kVA UPS on eBay. The unit powers
EVERY 110vac device in my office/shack. The UPS sustained the power to
everything through the glitch - eliminating what would have been, at a minimum,
a costly 30+ minute recovery process to get all the computers, logs and radios
back on-the-air. And, it could have been a lot worse than that! ["Excuse me,
ZF2MM, we had a little power failure up here. May I please have my frequency
back?" I don't think so.]
Needless to say, I highly recommend a UPS for the well-prepared contester's
shack!

I understand - and I think that is clear to anyone looking at this

Hi All,
Forget about logging milliwatts -- what about the guy who was giving
Five Kilowatts as his exchange. I assume the robot will accept it, but
don't know of a country where that is legal.

I don't know if that's a violation of the letter of the rules, but certainly
it's a violation of the spirit, as in "good operating practice." If it's
real persistant, then it may need to be addressed.
On the same line, I had a bunch of EU station (and not neccesarily "rare"
ones) ask me to spot them during the contest. In each case, I declined and
asked them if that wasn't a rules violation. A few said "sorry," a few said
"I don't know, I didn't read the rules" and just about all asked the next
station or asked me again on another band. (And it is a rules infraction, I
checked).

Operator A goes to US multi op station. He works 30 hours and goes home.
Operator A gets on from home and spots multi op station he just left on
packet.
Operator A does this repeatedly on more than one band knowing full well the
spots are being populated to a global packet network.
Anyone besides me have a problem with that?
If so, what penalties, if any, are appropriate?

In amongst today's mail was my first "QSL" from the ARRL DX Phone -- an OO
notice complaining about my contact with one of the Italian 2x1's -- an Out
of Band violation, to be specific. Now, interestingly enough, it doesn't
say what frequency I was allegedly on, but informed me that on 20 I should
stay below 14.347 (which I thought I had). Even more interesting, the
entire form and most of the information EXCEPT for my call, the DX call, &
the time of the infraction was filled out in advance and photocopied.
My point here is not per se to berate the OO. My point is that we must all
watch the band edges in contests, as there are obviously people prepared,
eager, and ready with the OO forms. Maybe just a little too prepared to my
tastes.

It was pointed out to me that I listed the spots twice
in this message:
http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/2002-March/046632.html
This was an error - if you look at the list you will notice
that the first half of the list is sorted by the number of
spots posted by a spotter. Then I also have the raw unsorted
list of spots in date/time order. I did not mean to
include the date/time order list.

Of course, what *may* have happened is that the
OO heard so many problematic QSOs above 14.347
that he/she prepared the forms to cut down on the
time required to fill them out. Even OOs like to have

Working split on 40, I blasted a local QSO (no, I didn't listen first!! No

When they announced on the DX freq (below 7100 on SSB) what I had just done,

Hmmmm. So let me get this right. You are now supposed to keep all future
operations in a contest secret?
You can't tell your fellow club members to get on & make a Q with you, prior to
the event?? C'mon guys, get real!
I find it VERY refreshing that a CONTEST club rallies around a fellow member
that is CONTESTING! You know what? If you take away a certain N9 station's
spots for ZF2MM, whats the problem? Are we now limited to spotting only weak
stations? Or rare stations? Or stations not spotted yet?
Sounds like sour grapes a little bit! I wasn't asked to spot ZF2MM, by ZF2MM,
DURING the contest. I heard him on. I spotted him. Am I bad guy for doing
this????? NOT!

I agree that the list provided by K5TR ( see
http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/cq-contest/2002-March/046632.html )
was extreme and some people were aggressive in spotting ZF2MM. But didn't
everyone in the contest benefit from Paul's marketing before the contest,
and from the spots? Consider the following:
Maybe a VY0, who had no intention of getting on, got on because Paul asked
him to. Maybe the VY0 worked a few other stations as well. Aren't those
DX stations glad Paul did some pre-contest marketing? Maybe a DX station
saw spots for the VY0, needed it for a new prefix, and decided to stick
around and work a few more US/VE stations. Maybe it was a new multiplier
for you, and the only one you worked in the contest. Aren't you glad Paul
did some pre-contest marketing?
I know that's a lot of "maybe's", but who knows how this would have all
worked out. Maybe the VY0 and the DX station would have been on anyway.
It seems like every month this reflector is fraught with complaints about
how contest ranks are dwindling and we need more activity. Last month the
"topic-du-jour" was the ARRL contemplating removal of contest scores from
QST. Doesn't Paul's pre-contest marketing help promote the ARRL DX
contest, and contesting in general? Maybe if there were more people
participating in the ARRL contests, looking for their call in print, the
ARRL would continue publishing scores in QST? Some people complain that we
need more activity, some people complain when we promote contesting, some
people just like to complain, some people complain because they have
nothing to complain about.
I don't know if there was a VY0 on last weekend or not. I didn't check
DX-Summit. I just made that up.

There is something that hasn't been addressed. Be sure
that the UPS is always in the circuit, not one that gets
switched in when AC mains fail. That would be OK for
lights, but not computers. Working in TV (2 stations)
corporate and local management do not want any failures, we

plan the one that will be housed in a separate building to
power our whole tech center and all the computer network

Pre-contest publicity is allowable. Friends aggressively spotting a
station during the contest is an entirely different matter. Any evidence
ZF2MM requested this, no. Should this be encouraged, no.
Paul, K9PG, is a great operator. He doesn't need this "help" from the
peanut gallery.
What if many members of a large club decide that since one of them is
going to be in CQWW and wants to win for the World , then the members
will get on and work that station. No problem.
However, what if there is an agreement that all the members will spot
that station during the contest?
Does it not create a beast called single operator assisted ?

I think this is pretty much the design standard, at least for small
self-contained UPSes.
There are some amazing deals out there from time to time -- I got a new 300
VA APC UPS for $10 from Staples after a mail-in rebate. It's not enough to
power everything computer related in the shack, but it supports my CPU
quite nicely. Since installing it, I've never had an outage of more than
about 2 seconds, but I've had hundreds of the little glitches and dips that
would have caused my computer to reset otherwise. It's very pleasing to
hear the UPS beeeeep and know that I've just dodged another bullet,
especially in the middle of a good run.

Italians are loud in the U.S. not because they use excessive power, but they
have good antennas with big rotors. (that is why they need 3 phase power for
the shack. I am in the process to order one of the better Italian antennas

Maybe I'm missing something guys & gals but if you're turned off by
packet, why do you use it during a contest? I see this thread time after
time yet, some people continue to use packet and complain about how bad it
is.
Contesting for most of us is about having a good time. If packet is
diminishing your enjoyment or it's pushing you to the point of mocking
others who use it, you might want to consider turning it off for a change.

This is a good question and I do know the answer.
My gut feeling is that any marketing done is usually done
with the intention to help the person doing the marketing.
I was prompted to post the list of ZF2MM packet spots after
Bruce (ZF2NT) posted this message to CQ Contest:
http://lists.contesting.com/_cq-contest/2002-March/046626.html
I found this message very interesting for two reasons.
1. I agree with his concerns.
2. ZF2MM was operating from ZF2NT's station.
Bruce brings up what I think are very valid concerns and
he goes on to give some examples. If you have not read his
post please do so now.
The point that Bruce brings up is, do we want contests to
be about operating or do we want them to be about
(as VE3FU calls it) marketing?
I have gotten some email since I posted the list of packet
spots. A few people say "DQ ZF2MM", some say big deal
he got some friends to spot him and others are upset because
their call is on the list.
I do not think that ZF2MM should be DQed.
I do think we (the contesting community) should discuss
how we feel about the "marketing" of contests. This was
not the first time and I am sure it will not be the last time
that someone feels the need to do this in order to make a
good score in a contest.
I am not sure that the increased packet spots helped ZF2MM's
score much (I could be wrong) and it is possilbe that they
might have even hurt it by turing some folks off to working him.
The real issue goes beyond the ZF2MM effort and it is
what Bruce talks about in his message, do we want
contesting to come down to some sort of "beauty contest"?
My answer to this is, No.
The contest should be about operating during the contest.
It should *not* be about:
- How many skeds you can make with mults before the contest.
- How many emails you can send to folks.
- How many times you get spotted on packet.
- How many unique "buddy" contacts you can make.
- How many T-shirts you can send to folks.
- How many banner ads you can buy on some web site.
Do we want the contest to be defined or have the outcome
altered by any of the above?
I know that I don't.
I operate contests because I find them fun. I enjoy the challenge
provided by the bands, from within myself and from fellow contesters.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Spotting
Message-ID: <3C8A1C6D.68E8@erols.com>
IMHO,
Spotting/announcing done outside the actual 'contest period' seems like it
would not
fall afoul of the rules in any context or intent, but could be construed as a
bother or
a bit 'much' based on the quantity and type of 'spot' provided. Too much of a
good
thing is not good! HI!
I don't think anyone will argue that repetitive spotting during a contest
period is a
bad thing, especially if different stations do it at random (unscheduled or
unplanned) times within a given period. Those kinds of repetitive spots are not
bad even
if they appear fairly closely spaced in time. New stations are coming to the
clusters
all the time and what's 'old' to me may be a new mult to them.
For example - W3LPL spots a station at 1524Z. I'm running stations and not
paying close
attention to the spots. The screen scrolls quickly (as it often does) and LPL's
spot
disappears off the screen. Then I do S&P and at 1538 I tune across the same
station as
previously spotted by LPL, I don't need 'em so it wasn't on my list of avaiable
mults/calls so I don't know it's already been spotted, but someone else might
so I spot
'em. If you have already worked 'em he won't show.. if not. he will.
Likewise, as others come across the same station they might spot 'em at fairly
close
intervals. This is repetitive, but usually it's just the spot without the
repetitive
'cheerleading comments' that are usually appended to the repetitive spotting
being
disucssed such as with the ZF2MM example.
Repetitive spotting by different stations at closely spaced times does not seem
to be a
problem with anyone. What bugs people (me included) is the same station(s)
doing
specific stations over and over and over and over. Couple this with the
comments and
they are OBVIOUSLY trying to attract attention to teh station for some reason.
One COULD intimate that the spotter is a shill for the station and has
prearranged to
act as the contest spotter for that station. This would appear to be the case
with the
ZF2MM example given and many (myself included) would have valid concerns that
this is
nothing more than a dodge used to (technically) avoid running afoul of the ARRL
rule
that clearly prohibits stations from either asking to be spotted or stations
self-spotting themselves during the contest.
Yes, it can be argued that ZF2MM was not *TECHNICALLY SPEAKING* (during the
contest
period) - asking for, nor self-spotting himself. But the context of the
comments and the
repetitive nature of spotting by one or two stations makes it abundantly clear
that such
can be legitimately construed as the reason for all the spots since it appears
quite
likely that it was a Club member at ZF2MM and a Club member doing the spotting.
Even if
not so... there is a definite odor to the effort that raises eyebrows and
raises questions about conflicts of interest and the like.
Perhaps the basic action in this case would be for stations to apply the
well-understood
premise that the 'spirit and intent' of the rule be observed rather than the
'strict
letter or the law' which normally applies.
As for the station who works at a M/M then goes home and spots the station they
just
operated from, technically, again, not a violation, IMHO, but does raise an
odor and
questions. ONe thing I've learned about M/M's .. they usually find themselves
being
spotted quite a bit, regardless, based upon the nature of being a M/M and being
on the
air on many bands for a L O N G period of the contest.

Might be something to think about here.
8P5A should have known ahead of time he didn't have a chance against ZF2MM.
The 9 land herding spots just insured this probability.
If you're not on packet, then you shouldn't let it bother you that

He probably would have had to have pre-printed notices to cover everyone
caught transmitting above 14.347. Heck, I would have needed them to cover
everyone *I* heard up there while S&Ping around the band!
We're not talking about 14347.2 either. (which might arguably be OK if you
trust your 2.1KHz filter to properly scrub your transmitted signal) We're
talking about well above 348. Some, above 350.
Seems the offending CQers were just about always DX, but that doesn't make
it any more legal for the W's who answer...

Al is right on target with this issue.
Such pre-arrangements are not "legal".
Pre-arranging for this type of "assistance" crosses the line into
"multi-operator" area. As most of these other operators are not physically
at the subject station, even this is a violation of the rules.
If they are somehow considered part of a multi-operator or assisted
station's operation (although remote, and ignoring the above for a moment),
self-spotting is also prohibited.
All of this type of activity extends the number of operators and geographic
spread of these operations. There's nothing in the rules to permit it.

peanut gallery."
Nor the bad press I would imagine.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Italian power explained - Lirawatts
Message-ID: <166.a107927.29bb853b@aol.com>
The reason everyone is perplexed by the Italian wattages is that they are
omitting the conversion factor. Italians use Lirawatts rather than standard
watts as defined in the MKS system of measure !
The Lirawatt is somewhat hard to define in absolute terms, since to
accurately measure it you have to go "behind the curtain" where access is
rarely granted.
Our researchers at the National Bureau of Standards have indicated that the
Lirawatt is roughly equivalent to 10 to 15 watts as defined by the NBS.

Try listening just above the band edge during a contest and you will quickly
realize why the OO has to have the form preprinted except for the call,
etc., in order to even hope of keeping up with the violators...

Subject: [CQ-Contest] UPS Standby vs Online
Message-ID: <000f01c1c7b4$4bf9fe40$1b494140@delta>
Please forgive me if my information is dated. However, I believe
this is still true. Please forgive me if I am not entirely accurate as
I've not re-investigated this in recent years when APC took over
the small "UPS/SPS" market by storm.
Since at least the early 80's UPS were basically of three
types (we'll leave out the motor generator types from years before):
The truly "online" types like SOLA sold. The "switching" types of
which most if not all APC units (at least the small ones) are and
one novel design that I first saw from Unison (later purchased by
Tripplite).
The Sola's used ferro-resonant transformers and capacitors to
regulate and store energy. It has been too many years and I don't
recall all specifics but basically the transformer would accommodate
voltage swings of 20%...all the time if necessary. This would help in
instances of deep prolonged brownouts and poor voltage supply in
general. All without tapping its batteries. The online UPS continuously
charges batteries where power is drawn from and inverted to a poor
to reasonable facsimile of an AC sine wave. So if the power goes out
you are just losing your battery charger. Power continues to be drawn
from the batteries. "No Break", as they were commonly referred to.
Topaz used rapid "tap switching" on their special transformers
to simulate the ferro-resonant action. Thus Sola, Topaz and others
also had voltage regulators without deep brownout or blackout
protection.
At that time the ability to "switch" in power from a battery source
within a few cycles or fractions thereof was not available (I presume).
Thus computers (perhaps the pickiest devices) needed true online
power supplies. Later, adequate "invisible" switching was possible
and companies like APC (American Power Conversion) based
their designs on that. This reduced the parts count and other
undesirable things like the relative inefficiency of the FR transformer
with its associated heat generation and tendency to have very
noisy windings (both part and parcel of the way it works).
Thus "Standby Power Supplies" or SPS's were born, which
technically most of the advertised UPS's are.
The disadvantage of SPS's are that they cannot correct for deep
brownouts or continuous low voltage (to a degree) or overvoltage.
They are relying on passive MOV (Metal Oxide Varistors) and
other such things to take out surges. They rely on switching
in and out (repeatedly if necessary) the battery supply for continuing
low voltage. Perhaps okay for our application but I hope you can
turn off the "alarm beeps" or have good headphones or "head-CW
filters"... :-)
The current SPS's are fine for most applications today but not in
all situations. I have seen some discussion about even using them
on linear amplifiers. The main point of contention being whether
there is a sufficient lag where the amplifier (or transmitter) power
supplies cannot ride through without affecting instantaneous peak
demands by modulation. Perhaps a moot point for all but the
"max power" or signal purists :-).
The third type, which I don't know if Tripplite still employs in
some or all of their designs, looked like a "T" configuration where
they used batteries in series up to 120VDC (or was it half that?)
and used the same circuit to charge them as well as invert to AC
when needed. Still truly uninterruptible (so they claimed) as
opposed to standby switched but with a lesser part count and
attendant complexity. Maybe achieving better reliability and cost.
So the moral is to understand your true power and (surge) load
situation. Then before you select a solution see if the kind you
select will really do the job. I have used all three with success.
Also, understand whether your loads will tolerate the often less
than perfect sine wave that some UPS produce. A good article I
saw years ago had oscilloscope pictures of the various "pseudo
sine waves" the tested units produced. Quite alarming. I hope
they have improved since then.
Please pardon the bandwidth and degree of "off topic" but
I hope this helps some understand the differences.
Oh, and motor generator types were mostly used in backing
up large main frame computer systems. Large, massive
wheel-type mechanical energy storage (then converted to
electricity) devices have been around for years before.

I think this is pretty much the design standard, at least for small
self-contained UPSes.
There are some amazing deals out there from time to time -- I got a new 300
VA APC UPS for $10 from Staples after a mail-in rebate. It's not enough to
power everything computer related in the shack, but it supports my CPU
quite nicely. Since installing it, I've never had an outage of more than
about 2 seconds, but I've had hundreds of the little glitches and dips that
would have caused my computer to reset otherwise. It's very pleasing to
hear the UPS beeeeep and know that I've just dodged another bullet,
especially in the middle of a good run.

Steve, you are right. OOs send out "OFFICIAL OBSERVER ADVISORY NOTICE".
W2CC, must been sitting on S51CK's frequency and copied calls of stations
worked him in the contest. According to David, (S51CK & KE1F, me) was
transmitting on 14349.31, our sideband was out of the band. My logging
program did not know that.
Gee, could someone tell me what is a legal way to inform S51CK that he was
too close to band edge?

Message-ID: <002901c1c7b8$97054760$13b94618@wp.shawcable.net>
Hi,
It would seem to me that a few rules speak to this issue:
The first is the reference to station location and the requirement that all
equipment, including antennas, be located on the station owner's property or
within a 500-foot radius, whichever is greater.
If you participate in activities for the benefit of your M/M effort from
your home either as part of a M/M team or as a friend of an operator in the
Caribbean (different residence than station), is this rule not then being
violated?
Another is the rule that in various forms essentially says that an operator
can use only one call for the contest. Now, in fairness, I think this rule
is applied according to situation: in other words an operator who leaves the
station to pick up food then calls back on 2m for directiosn to the pizzaria
would be fine, if technically in violation.
I think someone who goes home and uses his call to pad the packet spots
would invite enforcement.
I also think that depending on how the request was made, the prohibition
against using non-amateur means to solicit contacts may also apply.
So yes, I'd have to say the practice of encouraging others to spot you
violates rules on a few levels.
But I don't see how pre-contest publicity violates any rule, especially
given the long-standing practice of DX-pedition anouncements.

Perhaps this is obvious, but with the introduction of the Euro, "lirawatts"

For the life of me, I do not understand why everyone is so upset at an OO
a volunteer task that is trying to, in his/her own way keep the tradition
alive
of the ham bands policing themselves. This very rare in today's climate.
The folks are seriously trying to inform you of your misdeeds before
the FCC sends out one of those notices. I received an OO card a few
contests ago for, I believe, the same infraction that most of the guys here
are talking about. That of being too close to the band edge.I do believe the
rule still states that if any part of your signal is heard outside the band
edges,
then you are operating outside the band.
I used to be an OO a very long time ago, and Iremember what a thankless
job it was
then and apparently it still is. You used to be able to show that you
equipment met
certain standards, and I imagine that it is the same today.
After mentioning the self policing that we used to do, why don't hams tell
other hams when their signal sounds bad? It absolutely flabbergasts me to
hear a
CW signal with a super loud hum and chirp and when you mention it to the
operator
they rarely even acknowledge that you said anything, and if they do, they
just keep on
plugging.
The same applies to SSB also, distorted signals that are extremely
difficult to copy.
You know, communications microphones are supposed to be close talked...i.e,
lips
VERY near the wind screen. If you are talking a distance away from the mic,
then you
have to turn the gain up to get enough output, then all the background
noise is competing
with your voice. For those of you that disagree...go ahead, but why not try
to get a friend to test this
with you sometime on the air.
I think our South American friends are probably some of the worst about
this. Any of
you guys down yonder want to talk this around?

I don't know how other software works, but the spots stay in CT's bandmap
for an hour. As I tune around the bands, I spot only stations that are not
already in CT's bandmap (i.e. haven't been spotted in the last hour), or

There was a S51 station on two afternoons running on a very clear
frequency at about 14348.5. I was tempted to call him since I had
worked everyone else I could hear calling CQ and I couldn't hear well
enough to CQ myself, but an OO report from an earlier contest when I
called an EA station at about that frequency taught me not to even make
a quick call. I guess it may not be of as much concern to the DX
stations, but they no doubt lure a lot of US stations into violations
toward the upper end of 20 and possibly 15.

All this UPS talk is making my head spin. Sorry. Simple question: I have
stupid blackouts which last about a second about twice a month because I
have a stupid power company. Complaining did not work. I got a UPS - an
APC ES350. It worked for a year. But now, when I get home and the alarm
clock is flashing, the computer has rebooted and the answering machine is

become an IPS.
Do I have to replace the battery in the UPS? Is this a common thing? How

No one seems to have answered Bob's question...
Official Observers are not focused on reporting intruders within ham bands.
For more info:

The ARRL Monitoring Service volunteers perform the intruder watch function,
some information is available here:

Tom,
Again, my intent with the original post was to remind folks to watch the
band edges (which I was doing, incidently), not to berate the OO. He just
struck me as a little TOO prepared to nail people -- like the cops at the
speed trap in a community north of Pittsburgh (said community had illegally
lowered the speed limit on State Route 65 within their borders, and then
nabbed people who didn't have enough time to drop from 55 to 40 MPH) who had
their tickets filled out with everything except the date, time, and license
plate. Odd -- but still, if he's right, he's right. Annoying, but right.
But even though I didn't identify him, it's amazing how many people knew
exactly whom I was talking about. Right down to the style of envelope the
notice came in, and age of the stamps on it.

On the one hand, a simple rule change to prohibit mass-spotting might be in
order. On the other, enforcing it could prove difficult, and someone
determined enough would find a way around it. And penaling the M/S or M/M
station for mass spotting could backfire -- there are those who'd do it just
to get someone DQ'd.
Probably best to express displeasure at this antic in forums like this one,
and hope the offenders will not do so in the future.

Mark,
The batteries in a UPS are lead-acid, same as a car battery. They do
wear out after a while. I have 4 UPSs between home and office. I've
replaced batts in 2 of them, I'd say averaging 4-5 years of use.
One way to test it is pull the UPS's plug out of the wall. If the computer
doesn't stay powered up, you need a new battery. Theoretically,
something else could be wrong with the UPS, but it's very unlikely.
I bought my replacement batts on Ebay.

Mark,
Somebody at work had a whole bunch of little APC UPSs
set up in a battery replacement triage a few months ago.
Apparently they got them for free because all of the
batteries were dead. They just dropped in new gel cells
and they were all as good as new. Don't know where they
got the new batteries, but I assume they are readily available
(they are probably standard cells) since the electronics generally
outlives them.
I can find out if you like.
Mike, W4EF.............

West representative
Message-ID: <01c1c7e2$9fe4e8c0$LocalHost@default>
CHANGE IN THE U.S WEST WRTC2002 REPRESENTATION
The WRTC2002 Organizing Committee assembled a team of representatives a
little over a year ago to provide several valuable services for the WRTC2002
games. We were fortunate to obtain financial services by the Northern
California DX Foundation, Inc and Bruce, W6OSP and Rusty, W6OAT.
We had also appointed US Regional representatives: Bob, K4UEE - South, Jeff,
K1ZM -East and Dennis, K7BV -West have performed remarkable fund raising work
in their respective areas. The entire group, further assisted by Bob, K3EST,
has provided the group in Finland with practical support, advise, guidance
and counseling.
This support has kept the spirit alive - emails are crossing the Atlantic
not daily but hourly. The group in Finland has no doubt that the upcoming
WRTC event is now well recognized and valued by the entire Amateur Radio
community. The stage for a wonderful event is being steadily set in a
professional manner. We are comfortable that this will be a memorable event for
all attendees:
regardless of whether they are a competitor or part of the enthusiastic
cheering crowd of well wishers.
Dennis, K7BV is about to take a new job on the snowy East Coast thus he will
turn over his regional responsibility to Steve Merchant, K6AW. Steve is a
seasoned contester at KC1XX, N6RO, HC8N, well suited to the activity, and a
frequent traveler to Finland. In fact, he operated the recent ARRL DX Contest
from the Aland Islands as OH0R.
Promoting and representing WRTC2002 has taken Dennis, K7BV to all continents
except Africa - all at his own expense. The effort has been very determined and
highly valued by all of us. We thank you kindly, Dennis. Instead of losing him,
we would like to use his energy and expertise in a new capacity, announced
today. We are pleased to invite Dennis to be an Honorary WRTC Ambassador at
Large, with the assumption that he will be personally seeing all WRTC delegates
upon their arrival in Finland.
The Organizing Committee of WRTC2002 would like to welcome Steve, K6AW on
board and thank all of our area representatives and supporters in the U.S and
elsewhere. We also wish Dennis, K7BV all the best of luck with his new
challenges.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] OO reports
Message-ID: <d8jxuypzk2x8qli.100320020757@designet-jsi>
I think Tom, K5IID, is right on the money in his comments about the OO.
I have no problem at all with the OO using a photocopier to simplify his job.
If the OO only sent out the proper report in a timely manner, and didn't abuse
his position or malign the offender in what he wrote, then he did his job
correctly. If photocopying allowed him to make more violators aware of their
alleged transgressions, this is probably a good thing.
It seems to me that the OO community can defend a position that they are taking
a pretty liberal approach to their activities vis a vis contesting. In the
current FCC enforcement climate, they could argue that any contester who
operates within a crowded band, but outside a recommended bandplan, deserves an
OO notice. This based on the recent statements by FCC that bandplans are part
of "good amateur practice" and that frequency disputes will be adjudicated in
favor of amateurs who are observing the plan.
Food for thought.

That does bring up one DX station I ran into on 40m - wish I could remember
the call - "150, 150, DX1DX Contest listening 150". To the credit of us USA
types, in the 2 minutes or so I spent listening while fiddling with my
modem, he didn't get any answers...
The problem with 40m phone contest and USA here is that some USA stations are
listening below 7040, which is CW/FSK/Pactor... band here.

Congratulations to the sponsors of the Russian DX Contest. They have a
fantastic web site about the contest with rules, results, and records.
I was impressed by several innovations to contest results reporting. The
score listings are done by country and by category. This makes it possible
to see how you did against everyone without having to search through all the
country scores.
Even more interesting, they list the claimed score, the final score, the
percentage of the log that was cross checked, and the percentage of unique
QSOs. I think this is the first contest that has presented this level of
detail on the "quality" of log checking and of each operator.
I look forward to other contest results that are published on the web to do
the same.

Back in the late 70's I visited a well known G3 Contest station. He had the
100 watt transceiver with a small linear that could do 300 or 400 watts out.
They did have nice antennas but I asked how they did so well (against the
300 watt I's). He said the secret was the "antenna tuner" which was mounted
in a big drawer. The tuner had several 3-500Z's and a 4KV power supply.

The gell cell batteries for APC UPS are available from APC
or, more conveniently, places like Batteries Plus, Interstate
Batteries, etc. A web search will find dozens of places
selling the replacement batteries via mail order.
Try to check the UPS before buying a replacement battery.
Once in a while, they will lose the switching transistors
and a replacement battery won't do you any good. Check
the battery with five amps of 13.5 volt ... if it shows
good voltage and life, the UPS is bad. Most of the batteries
in the smaller (200 to 400 VA) UPS are rated for 5 to 7
Amp-hours (enough to provide five to 10 minutes operating
time at rated output).

Ron -
I believe that most who have read your post understand
that you aren't berating the OO.
Having said that -
Could you, perhaps, still be jumping to a conclusion?
You *assume* that he/she was sitting there, stack of forms
in hand, thirsting to nail folks. Actually, you don't *really*
know, what procedure the OO followed, and your comments
are based upon pure speculation.
Methinks you're too worried about the process. You
seem to appreciate the fact that the OO took the time
to help. Why continue to worry about the process, a
process that you actually know nothing about?
Suggestion: Write the OO a note of thanks! OO's spend
long hours toiling on the bands, receiving very little thanks
in return, generally no thanks at all.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Cable modem questions
Message-ID: <000701c1c84f$ab190600$03539718@ubr.charterne.com>
Hi Guys,
I currently use the basic Ethernet card with a Motorola SB4100 Modem to get
Charter Pipeline service (about 750k bandwith) to my Dell Win98 computer.
I would like to network this computer with another Win98 computer in the
shack (downstairs and about 50 feet away).
I was told that I have two basic options:
1) Buy a router (about $90 at Staples) and about 50' of Category 5 cable
together with another Ethernet card and Motorola Modem SB4100 modem and then
install and hook everything up (and hope that it works).
2) Buy a wireless router (about $150) and Two high end Ethernet cards (about
$100) and the Motorola modem and then install same.
I am wondering about the potential issues for each....
For Scenario #1, by far the simplest, I wonder about the degradation of
signal over 50' of category 5 cable to the upstairs computer. I also wonder
about the potential RFI problem of transmitting legal limit power and having
the 50' cable run act as an antenna. I know that I can use ferrite beads to
reduce the effects of RFI but I still wonder about the signal degradation
over such a long length of cable.
What about the RFI to the router located 10' away from the transmitter. Is
this an issue that anyone has in their station? If so, how is it solved?
Scenario #2
If I go wireless, will the legal limit RF create a problem with the router
and the wireless signals?
Also, if there is a wireless signal now, wouldn't it be easy for anyone in
close proximity to my qth to access either or both computers and get data
from my files? Security is a real concern to me.
I currently use Zonealarm ver 2.6 as a firewall on both computers but my
understanding is that this is excellent protection against people trying to
invade from the "outside" but I don't know if it will protect against
invasions against interecepted wireless signals and my transmissions by the
wireless router.
Can anyone provide practical info on these issues?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

The difference is that it is illegal for US stations to operate LSB on
7.150. It is NOT illegal for most European stations to operate LSB
below 7.040. It might be against the *gentlemans agreed* bandplan but
it is not illegal. Big difference.

I think everyone who has ever received an (in)famous "POPKIN-GRAM" should
keep it as a memento of becoming a member of the club. Perhaps we can see
who gets the first 5-band RAP (Received All Popkin-Gram) for 80-10? Mixed
mode? 6-band? the possibilities are endless! They've been coming out
since the mid-60's I believe so there may be eligible hams out there.

Quack to be heard from.
While operating a contest in Sept 2001, I recieved an OO card.
Good Operator Report,
I don't know what is wrong with you serious contestors that U have to
recieve bad news reports.
The only thing that I did was tell somone that their Audio was bad and
suggest a fix. ( Their battery ,Power supply leads too long. )

Bob,
You have more options.
First of all, you do not NEED a router. You might decide it's the best
option, but it's not necessary.
I would add these additional options...
3. Add a hub. Put the hub in a convenient location. Route a Cat 5
ethernet cable from each computer to that hub.
4. Kiss off both the router idea and the hub if you don't mind using some
older technology. Use 10Base2 ethernet: RG59/U coax to a BNC connector on
the ethernet card (you need to buy an ethernet card that is either a combo
or a BNC-only card) on each computer. The computers basically are wired
together. At each computer you have a BNC Tee connector, the unused port of
which has a BNC terminating plug on it. 10Base2 networks have as a
disadvantage a speed limit of 10Mbps, which is still plenty fast enough for
your broadband connection at 765K.
I use both cat5 and the RG59 versions in the shack. 3 computers tied with
10base2 and another with the 3 via a hub and cat5. I don't run legal limit,
being constrained by my SB220, but still around a KW or so. Not a peep of
RFI among the network of 4 computers ALL in the ham shack within 20 ft of
the rig. Total RG59 coax length/cat5 around 50 ft or so. (I have lots of
excess cable using prepared lengths). Of those in my geographic area that I
know use LANs, none has experienced any RFI on ethernet lines, so I conclude
that it is uncommon and you should NOT expect a problem.
With options 1 thru 4 you will use file/printer sharing of Win98 along with
Win98's Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), I presume, so that both 'puters
will access each other and the internet. Since ICS maps the "remote"
computer address to that of the internet-connected computer, your ISP is
generally unaware that the sharing is going on. Two ISP accounts are not
required. The zone alarm you use today with your broadband link will still
work in an ICS LAN configuration and if you only access the internet thru
the ICS gateway, will not be required on the "remote" computer any longer.
You didn't state what program you are using to act as the PPPoE client on
the Dell (the pgm that talks thru the ethernet card to the external modem).
But, if you decide to use ICS to allow sharing of the broadband connection
with the downstairs computer, you might run into some complexity with the
(lack of) PPPoE/ICS support in Win98. I ended up installed RASPPPOE, a
freeware program, and kissing off my ISP's PPPoE application to make the
sharing work. RASPPPOE is highly thought of, BTW.
As for interception of the radiated wireless signals, I see no way zone
alarm can be of assistance there.
I've never tried wireless LANs and will read this thread with interest to
see others' experiences vis-a-vis RFI.

Gary W2CS

Back in the late early 70's time frame, I was busily trying to break a
pileup on 15-Meter CW. I hadn't gotten my Extra Class license yet (I
only had an Advanced), and was sending my call repeatedly with the rest
of the mob.
Several weeks later, I received a violation notice ("Reply in Duplicate
Within 10 Days!") from the FCC - I believe it was from the Spokane, WA
monitoring station. They noted that the band edge was 21.025 MHz for
Advanced Class licensees, and I had been observed operating on 21.02476
MHz. Of course, I replied immediately, and never heard anything further.
I learned several things from that FCC letter:
* The FCC had some good high-speed CW operators.
* The FCC's frequency readout was better than my Drake Twins with the
analog dial (which were "state of the art" gear back then.)
* The FCC was in the "enforcement" business back then.
* The FCC had lots of "free time" to cruise through the ham bands.
* The FCC guys probably did a big business during DXpeditions with their
"pink slips" (the one I got was white).
* The FCC probably had a few chuckles sending out the violation notices
since they knew that the hams receiving them really had just
"accidentally" been out-of-band ever so slightly.
I kept the letter so that I could frame it someday, hang it on the wall
in the ham shack, and be able to show visitors "how the FCC used to
work."
Where were the OO's, instead? I did get a couple of key-click notices
from them in the mid-1960's using my Heathkit DX-40 transmitter (and
eventually a postcard from the FCC!)
Oh, and yes, I did get through the pileup, and received the QSL card.
Funny thing though, the Callbook had mistakenly listed me as having an
"Extra" class license for a few years.....

FWIW, I use both approaches at my Truckee, CA QTH with no problem. My shack is
about 150' from the antenna which, unfortunately, points straight back at it
when beaming the East Coast. I run 1.5KW. In the shack is one end of about 150'
of Cat 5 to a cable modem/router upstairs and on the other side of the house. I
think the spec for Cat 5 is 500' so your cable is short. Also on my cable
modem/router is a separate wireless router intended to serve my son's apartment
across the driveway. In fact, his wireless laptop is usable almost anywhere in
either building. No RFI has ever been detected entering the network. Although I
have intermittent, unidentified RFI entering my receiver, mainly on 10-20,
powering off both the cable modem and the wireless router shows that they are
not the culprits.
Wireless routers are insecure unless you tell them to encrypt everything. Then
they can be very (but of course not completely) secure. According to my son
(KC6YEW but he'd rather use the Internet, Thank You), you can use up to 128 bit
encryption with many of these wireless routers, so only a very determined
intruder could access anything. Every machine that relies on a wireless modem
to access the network has to be informed of the security key. I don't think
your firewall impacts security of the wireless environment positively or
negatively.

It seems this request (both prior to and during a
contest) to "spot" someone comes all too often. I
find it more than a bit unpalatable when I see it, yet
I do understand it.
Perhaps if more folks made it clear that they find it
rather unattractive, the practice (of asking AND
complying) would diminish. Afterall, a lot of the
evidence is pretty clear!

Based on the comments and description, and reading between the lines, I
believe this OO is a well-known ham (at least in this area) who happens to
be a friend of mine. Please consider this:
1. He probably does sit there, stack of forms in hand, waiting for people to
"nail".
2. He does this because people's behavior in major contests is predictable:
There are always people answering DX CQ's on frequencies that put their
modulation products out of the band.
3. His motivation (since he's not a radio cop) must be (IMHO) to get people
to change their behavior before they get nailed by the FCC. This happens to
be a public service since there probably are some subtle rule violations
that are routinely made in contests by lots of people that nobody ever
thinks about which we can all live without coming under scrutiny.
Out-of-band violations happen to be very simple and very obvious and are
very easy for people to avoid if they pay attention. I can think of several
of these subtle other violations, but I won't discuss them here.
4. It's one thing to get a letter from Riley. Out-of-band violations may
involve interference to OTHER SERVICES. Riley is the Special Counsel for
AMATEUR RADIO Enforcement. Complaints from other services go elsewhere
before they get to Riley. The entire Amateur Radio Service can live without
this.
5. I think the bottom line to Ron's comments was that the OO in question,
just to use a double letter for no particular reason, sends out notices
during SSB contests because we are predictable. In doing so, his behavior
also becomes predictable, and the notices are worth commenting on only
because of this predictability, and their somewhat eccentric nature. If I
bought a million dollars or so of this week's commemorative stamp issue, I'd
probably have to use them for the rest of my life too.
I don't think I can count past five, but here's a story: In the ARRL SSB
contest last weekend I was operating at K2RD. At one point Friday night, I
took time out from a run to S&P not only multipliers, but "ordinary" QSO's
all over 20 meters. (As a first-time WriteLog user, I was having fun
mouse-clicking on the packet spot list.) At one point I was poised to call
a station on 14348.5 (not having noticed how close to the band edge this
was). Ira happened to notice the frequency readout on the 1000D, pointed to
it and said "That's a [name withheld] frequency." It took me 3 or 4 seconds
to figure out what he meant, never having received one of these OO notices,
but certainly having heard about them, at which point I giggled and replied
"Yeah, I guess it would be", shook my head clear of the cobwebs and went
back to finding a run frequency.

The difference is that it is illegal for US stations to operate LSB on
7.150. It is NOT illegal for most European stations to operate LSB
below 7.040. It might be against the *gentlemans agreed* bandplan but
it is not illegal. Big difference.

I've been down these roads. You need to check with your Internet provider,
a router may indeed be necessary. For example, AT&T Broadband charges an
additional fee ($9.95/month) to connect more than 1 computer (up to 3
actually) to the Internet (they call it Home Networking). Using a router,
I can connect as many computers as I want without paying the additional fee
(they see the router as a single computer). You can set up a gateway
computer and a hub and do the same thing, but then it needs 2 network
cards, must always be on, some software like AOL might not work through it,
etc.

I, too, received a Popkin-Gram, a few months ago.
Dave is a retired FCC field engineer, and evidently still
has the juices flowing. While he has time to monitor...he
doesn't make stuff up. (I won't go into the time he busted
my college carrier-current radio station...long ago and
far away. I'm just glad MY first-phone wasn't on the wall.)
At the time of receiving his OO notice, I sent him an email,
asking what he was using for receiving equipment. OO's are
obligated not to get into discussion with cited stations,
apparently.
While it IS true that you're not supposed to be heard out of band...
Receiver bandwidth comes into play. This could manifest as
signal peaks being heard on 7150, indicated....when the TX
station was on 7153, and had FCC compliant emissions, in
all respects.
There's another side to it...and one we might do well to
contemplate: If we have 2.6KHz wide filters in the exciter's
transmit chain, and we overlay on that the resulting amplified
spectrum....it's questionable whether we should operate on
7153 LSB. You would have to KNOW the spectral purity of the
entire chain--something we're generally not equipped to do.
I think Dave arbitrarily assumes the best here....if he sees
you're on 7153, you're ok. If below that...he sends a love
note. Not a bad thing to be reminded of. Unlike that cop in
Pittsburgh...there's no revenue consequence.

Reading about all the packet spots, my two cents:
Marketing of contest operations used to result in "why didn't I think of
that?" It didn't start with packet. For better or worse, now consensus
seems to have shifted to accusations of "spam" and "unfair advantage."
The good news - it's easy to ignore.
George (K5TR) asks if we want contests to be defined by skeds, emails,
spots, buddy-Qs, T-shirts and/or banner ads - I think as long as multipliers
have a dominant effect on score, these other things won't define contests.
You're probably going to need the guy on 6 bands no matter how he's
publicized, and you're probably not going to boycott him just because you
object to his solicitation practices.
Did the excessive spots get more people to decide to work ZF2MM than would
have otherwise? Probably. Should it be against the rules? Probably.
IMHO the sponsor is obligated to clarify the rules.

Message-ID: <ADEJKJINLBKGMNGALFCFMEEGDDAA.W2CS@bellsouth.net>
As I said before, you might WANT to use a router for performance reasons,
but it is not NEEDED for functional reasons. That statement remains
correct.
In fact in Bob's original question where he just wants to hook up a SECOND
computer, no hub or router is needed at all. A simple crossover cable can
be used to connect the two computers. A crossover cable is an ethernet cable
that is analogous to the null modem for serial port direct connections.
It's available prewired in many lengths at your local computer toy store.
If you use a crossover cable, you therefore must use the Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS) component of Windows as described below. Aside from that
special case of a 2-computer LAN...
The term router is unfortunately being used in this thread to mean several
things. One thing it means is that IP packets that are flowing between
computers on your LAN are sent to the router (in the center of a star
configuration) and that router box sends it only to the target LAN computer.
A hub, as was mentioned by someone else, simply passes that packet around to
everyone, and the computer addressed by the packet is the only one to act on
it. Thus a router will save LAN traffic and make the LAN more efficient.
This matters when you plan heavy traffic on the LAN, such as disk backups
across computers in the face of other LAN activity and the like. If what
you're doing is normal internet traffic and sending files to be printed,
this level of performance is not needed IMO. A typical broadband speed is
on the order of 1Mbps. The slowest LAN is 10Mbps, with most being 100Mbps.
Lots of headroom.
Another use of the term router, but in my view not a proper one, is the act
of "routing" IP packets to a single ISP-provided internet connection from
multiple computers on your LAN, without having to have multiple
accounts/IDs/IP-addresses from your ISP. I prefer to call this a gateway
function, instead of a routing function.
Here you have a gateway, either hardware or software, that looks to the ISP
as the box that logged on, and that gateway box in turn manages the routing
of packets from the different computers in such a way that the ISP always
sees them as coming from one IP-address. Internally, it knows how to route
the packets, inbound and outbound, from that gateway to individual computers
on the LAN.
This gateway "routing" function can be done EITHER by a router or by
software in one of the computers. Windows 98, 98SE, XP, 2000 and probably
NT (I'm not sure of NT) all provide a component called ICS-internet
connection sharing. With ICS you can have your gateway computer, usually
the fastest, connected to your ISP, and the other computers get their
packets routed to the internet by ICS within the LAN. The connected
computers are totally transparent to whether they are talking to your ISP
via the ICS gateway, or whether you decided, for example, to bring up a
local-to-that-computer dialup connection, or even a 2nd local broadband
connection. The LAN-attached computer will preferentially use the local
connection if it exists, or the LAN-gateway connection, otherwise. This
works like a charm; I've been using it in a 4-computer LAN for a few years
now, with a mix of Win95, Win98SE and WinXP systems. I have never had a
piece of software that could tell the difference as to whether it was
directly attached to my ISP or attached via a LAN+Gateway/ICS computer.
With the software ICS gateway approach you can also use internal modems on
that gateway machine, although it appears most broadband modems today seem
to be gravitating toward external modem boxes that are ethernet attached, so
this is likely a limited advantage.
With the external modem you can therefore either ethernet attach it to your
router box, to a hub (instead of a router), or as I prefer to do, to a
separate ethernet card in the gateway computer. This has the advantage of
having no direct hardware connection between your internet connection and
your LAN, something I prefer for security reasons. Thus, your gateway has 2
ethernet cards. Your modem connects to one, and the other goes to whatever
LAN hardware you decide to use: 10base2/BNC, hub, or router. Of course the
LAN-attached computers each have one ethernet card, which connects to the
LAN (10base2/BNC, hub or router on the other end), something independent of
how you connect the modem.
Regardless of which LAN wiring solution you choose, with an always-on
broadband connection you need to invest in some security software such as
zone alarm or Norton's Internet Security. Both are frequently updated and
monitor traffic to spot typical hacker attempts. This is like having an
antivirus product to catch viruses before they infest your computer. With a
long-lived connection, it's a prime target for a..holes who like to do dirt.
Some routers, such as Linksys, advertise security inherent in the router. I
distrust relying solely on the firmware in a piece of hardware to keep
hackers out. I prefer using software that can be updated frequently (like
weekly), by a company whose business it is to provide hacker security. So,
even if I had a router, which ostensibly offered some level of security, I
would back that up with a good software security product.
Hope this helped someone. My fingers are pooped.

50 feet of CAT5 is nothing. The official specifications state a limit of
100 meters, but 10 Mbit Ethernet can go much further and 100 Mbit has even
been known to exceed 100m without trouble.
QRM to CAT5-based Ethernet is minimal because of the design of the signals
on the wire. Ethernet over twisted-pair (10BaseT, 100BaseT, ...) uses
differential encoding. The signals on each wire of the twisted pair are 180
degrees out of phase. The RX is a differential amplifier. Any QRM is
injected on both wires in phase. This is cancelled out by the differential
amplifier. Also, the wires are twisted upon each other to minimize
reception of noise in the first place. Is QRM still possible? Certainly,
but I use CAT5 and have yet to cause problems, even with the Acom amp
blowing full steam. My Peet Bros. WX station, on the other hand, always
gets scrambled and requires a reset after every contest!

Of course, this is always a concern, but this stuff tends to be pretty good
with RFI, mainly because they will GENERATE a ton of RF if improperly
shielded (decent 30m QRP XMTRs).

Encryption is available in most devices. While insufficient for the CIA and
commercial banking, it's fairly good and way more than most of us would
need.

ZoneAlarm will do nothing to protect from QRM. QRM is beyond the scope of
what this class of products does. I also use ZoneAlarm and its VY FB. If
you install a wired router, the router will likely have similar firewall
features, rendering ZoneAlarm redundant. If you use wireless networking,
ZoneAlarm will indeed provide an extra level of protection, although the
encryption will likely be enough.
Here is a worst-case scenario for wireless networking that is unlikely, but
nevertheless posssible. You do not enable encryption and your neighbor
tasps into your wireless network and essentially uses you as a free ISP.
You tell ZoneAlarm that your "local" network is safe and any IP addresses
beginning with 192.168 are local. Your neighbor grabs a 192.168 address and
can then access shared files on your PCs. ZoneAlarm CAN protect against
this, but you have to be very specific about which addresses are "trusted"
and monitor it carefully. The best option is, of course, to use encryption.
This would keep you neighbor out unless he somehow discovered your
encryption key.
CONTEST RELEVANCE:
Since this is the contest reflector, how does this relate to CONTESTING?
Multi-ops and some SO2R ops will want to use such networking. With
WriteLog, CT, and other logging software supporting Ethernet networking now,
it handily beats the old COM port serial networks. Also, this is of crucial
importance for family harmony. If the XYL and harmonics want to surf the
Internet during the big contest, it's best to understand these issues.

To reinforce prior postings with regard to
RFI and ethernet, I have a 100Mbit network
with 4 servers adjacent to the left and two
servers adjacent to the right, with ethernet
cables running behind the rig (and on the
second floor, 14 feet above ground).
I have two routers (STRONGLY RECOMMMENDED),
one for ADSL (384K out, 1.44Mbit in), and
one for IDSL (144K both ways), cross connected
for reliability of access for business.
A 150 foot run of ethernet feeds the three
home machines downstairs, one of which has
wireless 2.4GHz keyboard and mouse.
I have never had any sign of RFI into the
network with full Alpha power, and I use
telnet connnections to packet clusters that
have never dropped, and I've run heavy
printing across the LAN while transmitting
without any impact whatsoever.
And I've never heard any RFI reception that
was caused by the network or the wireless
devices.

Of course our behavior as a group is highly predictable, otherwise a variant of
this discussion wouldn't recur each year...
Every time the topic does comes up, one thing that strikes me is the degree of
arbitrariness. We don't have a technical performance-based rule (-xx dBc @ +3
kHz) for how close we can get to the band edge. We have an absolute prohibition
(no emission out of band). That's a rule with which it may lierally be
impossible for anyone to ever transmit a signal and still be in compliance
(think about transmitted phase noise).
"Good practices" may suggest 3 kHz but there's no black and white, right or
wrong, how close is too close; 14347.00 minus epsilon doesn't absolutely
guarantee that I'm on the side of the angels and 14347.00 plus epsilon isn't
necessarily going to run me afoul of the Feds (I'd agree that 14348.5 or
7150.00 are horses of a different color). If anything, adopting a de facto
standard of 3 kHz is quite generous and affords ourselves a substantial benefit
of the doubt.
Getting an advisory notice about adherence with this conventional wisdom is not
in any way inappropriate, unjustified or unfair. It may serve as an important
and useful reminder. But to anyone cognizant of the subtlety and ambiguity in
the FCC rules, receiving such a notice doesn't convey very much in the way of
new or useful information on which to act.
If this were to happen to me, I hope I'd been fully aware that calling someone
on 14346.97 was getting pretty darn close to the functional definition of the
"band edge". Under those circumstances, a valuable notice would be one that
informed me that I'd actually been heard out of band; an irrelevant notice is
one that informs me that I worked a station that was on 14347.03 sent by
somebody who was busy logging notices to check any further for a more
definitive infraction.
If an implication of these notices this is how FCC Monitoring went about
issuing their citations in the past? Well, that's very interesting but how
relevant might that be today?

Hi Larry
I got one for operating closer to the band edge than that. On
40, before I got the extra, I was chasing an EA station and got a
pink slip from the FCC for operating on 7024.75 MHZ. I was 25
cycles into the extra band. I didn't argue, just told them I was
sorry and that's the last I heard about it. 73

Hi Mike,
Well, there IS a section in the FCC rules that
defines bandwidth. You'll find it in section 2 of
the FCC rules. They list an entire table of
bandwidth descriptions, the formulas, and the
emission types that fall under them.
I went a downloaded it from the FCC site and have
it at home.
You can tell the max bandwidth by looking at the
designator. SSBSC (SSB Supressed Carrier) is
noted as 2K7J3E which means 2.7 kHz bandwidth
J3E is the internationally recognized emmission
designator for SSB SC.
Suggest anyone interested find that. You will
will note specific details for bandwidth.

Well, I don't know if it was a great day or not. Just received my copy to
confirm
Dennis, K7BV is leaving the NCJ for uncharted waters. I'm sure this is good
for Dennis but I worry about his leaving.
I thought Dennis did a great job with the NCJ and I was hoping he would continue
the mission for awhile. I have had the pleasure of working with Dennis on NCJ
articles and, not counting the 1000+ contest Q's, have chatted with him during
the Dayton and Friedrichshafen ham shows. He's an all around "good" guy, "good"
for contesting and "good" for the NCJ.
Okay, Carl, I'm sure you will do a great job as well. Bad luck having to follow
K7BV

http://www.qsl.net/sterling/QSOParty.html
As in years past I've put together a TRLog .dom file for this contest. The one
that I have is for in-state stations, but all you have to do is eliminate the
state and province abbreviations to use it out-of-state.
NOTE: the official county and independent city mult abbreviations have changed
from past years; don't use old .dom files...
This QP has been growing in the past few years and is a lot of fun with a fair
amount of activity.
If you want a copy of this .dom file just drop me some email. I can also
furnish a logcfg.dat "stub" file that you can add to and use for the VAQP.

Maybe 30 years ago was assigned for an Army Reserve summer camp to Camp
Ripley, MN. Had been active on 160 and phoned one of the big guns living
nearby and asked if I could drop by to check out the antenna system. Was
invited. Dropped by with the Chaplain and was entertained by this Hams wife
on the front porch for a while and then given a tour of the shack. The
non-Ham with me later asked why things were being moved around inside while
we waited. Power limit on 160 then was 50/100 watts.
Rumor is that that guy moved somewhere south of FL and isn't hamming
anymore. Maybe those antenna tuners exist(ed) outside of I and G.

I don't think it's unchartered at all. I think it said he was going to go work
for the ARRL.
Note that he also was replaced by K6AW as the west-coast (liason?) to
WRTC-2002.
Sounds like Dennis is looking forward to being very busy, and making the time
for it.
Good luck, Dennis, and thanks for your service to the NCJ.

I'm increasingly finding that if there was a way to, I'd request folks _not_
to spot me.
It used to be that before the Internet got involved, from the other side one
could see how spots propagated on packet & with the exception of highly
populated areas (W6 comes to mind), one could keep up.
But now - kaboom - all of NA is calling all at once. I was only goofing around
in ARRL DX SSB, but it wouldn't take long for the pile to instantly mushroom
& my rate to dip below three-per-minute. I'd pull the cans & wander off to
the kitchen to make a cup of tea, listening to folks calling & calling &
calling,
whilst at least one switched on chap would invariably chip in with "You

Subject: [CQ-Contest] ZF2MM Stuff
Message-ID: <127.d685155.29beb701@aol.com>
Fellow Contesters
There has been some of discussion about the pre-contest
publicity and packet spotting activity for my recent ZF2MM
operation. After wading through the comments and input some of
you have provided, I feel terrible about the fact that some feel
I might have crossed the line. Had I known some would feel that way, I
wouldn't have bothered doing it.
Did I publicize my operation before hand? Of course I did. I
did the same thing that I've done for the past 10 years... in
every single contest, from Sprint and NAQP to CQWW and ARRL
DX... I went through old logs and emailed people that I've
worked before encouraging them to get on and make Qs. Did I ask people to
get on and only work me, and no one else? Of course not, the thought never
entered my mind... that would be
unethical. Did I ask anyone during the contest to spot me?
Absolutely not, that's specifically against the rules. Even though
there were no rules broken, this has become an unfortunate
situation that seems to have gotten a bit out of hand, and for that, I
apologize.
The bottom line is that I didn't mean to upset anyone! I'm
sorry if you're one of the ones that got upset. That certainly
wasn't my intent at all. The intent was to increase participation in this
contest for everyone, just as I have been doing for the past 10 years in all
contests. It's worked very well for the Sprints and NAQP as all kinds of
state records have been broken in both modes of both contests by everyone!
Activity in SS has gone way up as well and the club competition has gotten
very heated, which is great for everyone! This was the first time I tried
publicizing contest via email where I was gonig to be DX. Turns out it
wasn't such a good idea... I probably won't do it again.
As much as I hate learning experiences, I guess everyone has to
go through them now and then. I hope that, in the long run, this experience
will better the sport of contesting that we all love.
After talking to a few "serious contesters," I have decided to
submit my log in the category that I operated in...single op,
high power, and will do so with a clear conscience.
Thanks for reading

Paul,
No reason to apologize! You didn't do anything that hasn't been done for
years. See VP2KC, CN8WW or almost any OH2BH operation...
The problem, if there was one, had more to do with the zeal of your home
boys to overhype you on packet. The comments in the notes field were a bit
much.
Keep running 'em.

Some of you are going to wonder why your scores are not posted
in this summary. Frankly, I have come to the end of my patience
when it come to dealing with HTML encoded mail and attachments.
Tonight was the last straw. The 3830 Mailserver used to stop
HTML encoded mail and I had a chance to strip it out before
sending it along. the past week, it's been coming through in
all it's glorious mess and I am just not going to deal with
it anymore. I just can't spend 5 minutes trying to decoding
the stuff or searching for attachments on my harddrive.
Hopefully, the new Stripmine application (just installed on
contesting.com lists) will handle the cleanup up in the future
but if you can't find your post here - check your mail options.
If they are set for plain text, I'll be happy to help. If you
used the Web submission page - ditto.
Sorry if I sound cranky - I am. dink, n7wa

Subject: [CQ-Contest] bandwidth
Message-ID: <3C8DE04E.6B4B@erols.com>
If you want to see what the FCC says about allowable bandwidth.. look at
section 2.202. They have a table and a formula for figuring it out. IT's
not related anywhere, specifically, in part 97 to go to 2.202 to find
out.. but the rules are there.
Just fyi. if you happen to have the gear to actually MEASURE your
bandwidth.. well, enjoy! All it takes is a decent spec analyzer, a high
quality stable reciever with a VERY accurate frequency readout, and a
'scope. It's not hard, but it takes a bit of time but it is highly
accurate and helps allay your fears. Of course.. if you have different
voice pitched operators you'll have to do a curve for each one cuz the
voice pitch affects the overall bandwidth.

On an earlier posting I screwed up. The 10Base2 means of wiring a LAN (using
BNC ethernet cards) uses RG58, not RG59 coax and 50 ohm terminator BNC
plugs, not 75 ohm. My error. Thanks to N8YYS for correcting me!

Fellow Contesters
There has been some of discussion about the pre-contest
publicity and packet spotting activity for my recent ZF2MM
operation. After wading through the comments and input some of
you have provided, I feel terrible about the fact that some feel
I might have crossed the line. Had I known some would feel that way, I
wouldn't have bothered doing it.
Did I publicize my operation before hand? Of course I did. I
did the same thing that I've done for the past 10 years... in
every single contest, from Sprint and NAQP to CQWW and ARRL
DX... I went through old logs and emailed people that I've
worked before encouraging them to get on and make Qs. Did I ask people to
get on and only work me, and no one else? Of course not, the thought never
entered my mind... that would be
unethical. Did I ask anyone during the contest to spot me?
Absolutely not, that's specifically against the rules. Even though
there were no rules broken, this has become an unfortunate
situation that seems to have gotten a bit out of hand, and for that, I
apologize.
The bottom line is that I didn't mean to upset anyone! I'm
sorry if you're one of the ones that got upset. That certainly
wasn't my intent at all. The intent was to increase participation in this
contest for everyone, just as I have been doing for the past 10 years in all
contests. It's worked very well for the Sprints and NAQP as all kinds of
state records have been broken in both modes of both contests by everyone!
Activity in SS has gone way up as well and the club competition has gotten
very heated, which is great for everyone! This was the first time I tried
publicizing contest via email where I was gonig to be DX. Turns out it
wasn't such a good idea... I probably won't do it again.
As much as I hate learning experiences, I guess everyone has to
go through them now and then. I hope that, in the long run, this experience
will better the sport of contesting that we all love.
After talking to a few "serious contesters," I have decided to
submit my log in the category that I operated in...single op,
high power, and will do so with a clear conscience.
Thanks for reading
Paul K9PG

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Tracking power line noise
Message-ID: <z3rkh4h1xzvovhl.120320020949@designet-jsi>
After taking a major lightning strike last summer, there were lots of repairs
to do. Both my office and shack were affected. Rigs were blown; computers
damaged; it was a mess. While rebuilding, I didn't operate the station much
until ARRL DX this year. One of the things I noticed just prior to the contests
was a lot of low-band noise [80/160]. I did some basic testing, and determined
that noise sources appeared to be coming from outside the shack. This
determination was made after powering down every item in the shack, except the
receiver - and the noise was still there. It would also seem to increase in
strength with the 80m yagi aimed away from the house, and it was also strong on
the beverages [also aimed away from the house]. So, everything seemed to point
to an external noise source. But, there was no time to track and eliminate the
problem in the few remaining hours before the contest.
We operated the contests with the noise there, and lost a lot of points as a
result. I even got an email from another contester who wanted to let me know
just how obnoxious we were on the low-bands - calling DX stations when they
were already coming back to someone. He was right - we were in bad shape, and
it showed. The day after the SSB contest, I was so frustrated with the problem
that I went out and started to track neighborhood electrical noises with the
mobile rig. Boy, did I find a lot of things. Well, after a long search, I
located a very noisy CATV power supply. It was emitting a lot of electrical
noise and it was audibly humming away up there on the pole, too. I was 99% sure
this was the problem. With a boatload of assistance from well-connected
contacts in the CATV company, the power supply was replaced. The electrical and
audible noise in the area immediately around the power supply were both
eliminated. I rushed back to the shack to see if the problem was gone, and to
my amazement, it was still there - rock solid. Although it didn't solve my
noise problem, the CATV people said the supply really did need to be replaced,
so their efforts were not in vain. I really appreciated their help. Good thing
I left that 1% chance in my mind, though.
So, I went out driving again. I found more noise sources - two street lamps
that were arcing and failing to start properly. They were generating 40-60dB
over S9 noise. That noise was being radiated from the power lines for up to 2
miles from the source. I reported them to the power company for replacement.
But, these sources were time-of-day-dependent. During daylight hours, they were
quiet. And my noise was still there - all the time - day and night.
At this point, I was completely stumped, almost ready to talk to my wife about
putting the house up for sale. Instead, I decided to just take a couple of days
away from the problem and return to it later with a fresh approach. When I
decided to attack the problem again, I had already thought about how to
approach it:
1. Start over - make no assumptions.
2. Recognize that the source will very likely be obvious, when found.
3. Question everything.
So, I started over - looking inside first. Once again, I powered down
everything but the receiver. And, there was the noise. But, this time I wasn't
going to start looking for external noises so quickly. Was there still a
possible noise source in the shack or the house? I realized that I hadn't
really powered down everything - the receiver was running off the UPS hidden
under the desk! I moved the receiver to straight ac power - and the noise was
GONE!
The UPS was installed last summer as a protective measure against lightning and
other power failures [we have them frequently in my town]. I had just finished
telling the world how great the UPS was during the power glitch we suffered on
Sunday morning in the ARRL SSB contest, so the device was fresh on my mind.
The buzzing/hash noise generated by the UPS only appeared when a device was
plugged into it. It could be anything. And it would go away sometimes when the
device power was turned on - loading the UPS output. This had the feel of a
radiated noise from the device power cord. There were a number of potential
tests to perform, but the solutions were limited. So, I went straight to the
solutions, instead of messing around with testing. I took an old line cord and
wrapped most of it around multiple ferrites. I connected the stripped end to a
series line filter, and then fed that into a highly filtered multiple-outlet
strip with surge suppression. Plugged that into the output of the UPS and
started testing for noise. Gradually, I added all the loads back to the
filtered UPS output, and determined that these measures have completely
eliminated the noise.
Lessons learned or reinforced:
1. The problem is most likely to be blatantly obvious when found.
2. Don't assume too much along the way.
3. Definitely don't be too tough on anybody - like utilities - until you can
PROVE they are the problem.
4. It ain't over 'til its over.
5. The UPS is still a GREAT thing to have in the shack/office - no change in
my previous conclusions on this subject.
I think it's over. But, will continue testing - forever.

Paul, K9PG:
As I told you privately, when the snowstorm of grumbling began,
some folks are jealous.
It's good for the sport to publicize activity. k5zd offers some
good examples of similar actions. Did some of your clubmates get
excited? Great! Now write a post-contest piece for publication,
so you get MORE people excited and involved.
I note that the internet packet system handled the callout volumes
well enough. It's possible that some of the RF links might not
have been as robust. Perhaps there's something to be learned there.
Nice work, by the way. I wouldn't hesitate to publicize future
expeditions.

Yes those "antenna tuners" do exist in other countries. The only countries
I?ve seen 4CX10000 amplifiers in is USA (lot?s of them) Finland and
Sweden (huuuh). Now this is the big stuff but smaller stuff runing maybe
around 4 - 5 kW?s are very very very common in the world these days,
also in the USA so please stop mocking the Italians since they are no
worse then others.

I don't know what all the fuss about re-arranging the shack. In that part of
the country it was legal to run a KW . in some parts of the band and during
daylight. Some times the sun didn't set until VERY late.

There are a lot of seriously gray areas involved with the addition of packet
and Internet technology to the traditional concept of "single op".
Occasionally, enthusiastic use of these technologies strays into areas that
may overly compromise the concept of "single". There have been vigorous
discussions on similar topics - such as the use of "support teams" and host
assistance. In this case, the topic is pre- and during-contest "packet
marketing".
As far as I know we are still operating under the "all is permitted that is
not forbidden" assumption, so there would be no reason for Paul to withdraw
his log or change its entry category. There have been many situations in
the past where someone discovers a new and clever trick that pushes the
envelope into an area that provokes comment. Maybe there is a rule change,
maybe just a gentleman's agreement that the trick isn't "sporting", or just
maybe everybody starts doing it. Use of second radios is now accepted and
encouraged, but for many years it was quite unusual and often frowned upon.
Speaking for myself only - I would not hesitate to advertise my expedition,
nor to let all my club members know that I hoped to put them in the log on
all six bands. That's part of the good fellowship and enjoyment of
contesting. We don't do this in a vacumn, you know. In general, my
personal rule is that I try to compete on the basis of whether the wet stuff
between my ears works better than the other guy's wet stuff. Yet I augment
it with the best technology and location I can afford. It's often a
difficult call that we all have to make on our own best judgement.
If, for example, the contest adminstrators feel that packet spotting is
affecting the outcome in undesirable ways or is being used in a manner that
is not equally available to all competitors, then they need to write
unambiguous rules that create the appropriate constraints. In the absence
of formal constraints, then the only means of examining the issues is public
discussions in forums such as this.
Without discussion, how would the sport grow? I don't want contesting to
deteriorate into the state of some other sports where nothing new is
possible. We're very technology-driven and new gadgetry often introduces
completely new modes of operating that require some discussion as to their
appropriateness.
Personally, I appreciate K9PG's difficult post.

I have an APC UPS and have noticed nothing coming from it. I did have a
problem with a UPS sytems a number of years ago. There is a company on the
main street a few blocks from my house that has (still have) a big mainframe
with a UPS system as they need 100% up time as they process banking
transactions such as stockholder accounting and now home banking. I got
the Georgia Power Ex RFI investigator to come out and after looking
everywhere we drove into the business complex. Approaching the computer
center building the noise nearly blocked the local radio stations. The
company's building manager was hostile to anything so I got the IBM FE who
is a ham to approach them. Turns out the employees could only use FM in the
complex and even TV (both commercial and closed circuit) was affected. The
UPS firm came out and quickly found the problem.
Sometimes cleaning up a problem takes a lot of work. I nearly missed a
Mount Athos Dxpedition because of the noise which was S9+10DB with the beam
pointed NE toward both Greece and the firm.

Jim,
I'd like to add a few comments, having gone through some noise
problems myself recently.
The first thing the power company noise guru (also a ham) did was turn
my house power off at the main breakers. He fired up a little Honda
generator, and we plugged my rcvr right into to, to make sure the noise
was not coming from somewhere in the house (which it wasn't).
Next thing found was a noise emanating from a neighbor's house, about
1000 ft away. Turned out to be two, bad dimmer switches. I bought him
new switches and that fixed that. From there the search went continued
to some loose hardware and bad lightning arrestors on some poles...

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Cable Modem Answers and Summary
Message-ID: <001101c1ca19$960cd0e0$03539718@ubr.charterne.com>
I have been overwhelmed by the number of responses that I received to my
questions and the number of different ways of networking computers and
valuable information that you shared. Thank you all SO MUCH!
I have decided to go with a wired network and will itemize what I am going
to do and why for those who might be interested.
My current system is a Motorola SB4100 Cable Modem with Charter Pipeline
service at about 750 Kbaud connected to a Dell Pentium computer running
Windows 98 Ver 2 in my office. I wanted to be able to hook up the generic
Pentium computer in my shack also using Win 98 Ver 2.
I was not sure whether wired or wireless was the best way to go.
Many of you thought that a wireless router could have issues with cell
phones that operate in the 2.4 gig range. Others thought that would not be
a problem since the routers and cellphones are broad spectrum. Some thought
encryption was adequate for security, others not. This is a gray area. One
person pointed out that it was possible for someone close by to actually use
me as an ISP if I went wireless. Regardless, I couldn't take a chance on
security. There was also the cost factor - a wireless router and 2 wireless
ethernet cards could add an additional $150 - $200 over a wired
installation, although this would be offset to some degree by not having the
cost of cat5e cables. I would not have the convenience of wireless either.
However, several of you cautioned that this is new and unproved technology,
the wireless routers are usually slower - especially if there are
interfering with/being interfered with by cell phones and could/would be
more prone to trouble.
Since I am using Win98 Ver 2 on both computers, I do not need to be
concerned with Internet Connection Sharing Software, and since I am not
using Mixed Media, that also simplifies everything. Likewise, since this is
a simple installation with Win98 Ver 2 and a router, I do not need to worry
about messing around with computer protocols, IP addresses and other stuff.
The router will take care of that. While that may not be sufficient for
more complex installations, it should be adequate for my purposes.
I decided to buy a 4-port router (rather than a hub) so that I would have
better speed and reliability and could also take advantage of the NAT/PPoE
protocols and have additional firewall protection IN ADDITION to my Zonelabs
2.6.2 firewall. The "pro's" among you all said that you should have a
firewall installed on your computer and NOT rely solely on the router since
if someone penetrated the computer, the router could not prevent
unauthorized traffic OUT. Also, as I understand it, worms could send many
e-mails out using your address book. The extra protection of a Zonelabs
firewall is a good thing (protects in AND out) and cheap insurance.
With a 4-port router, I would not need a hub for multiple connections (one
less box) and since I have a printer port (DI704P vs DI704 model) I can
connect a printer downstairs to the router as well.
After doing some research on www.practicallywired.com and reading everyone's
comments, I decided on the DLink DI-704P router which is currently $79.99 at
www.bestbuy.com BEFORE the $30 mail-in Bestbuy rebate (purchase by 3/16/02)
AND the $20 Dlink rebate (purchase by 3/16/02) for a net cost of $29.99!
Likewise, the Dlink DFE530TX+ Ethernet 32 Bit PCI Card is $14.99 at Bestbuy
before the $5.00 Dlink Mail-in rebate (purchase by 3/16/02) for a net cost
of $9.99. It is very hard to ignore prices like this! At this price, I
decided to buy an extra card for future use.
I am pricing both Shielded (STP) and Unshielded (UTP) cable. Although some
felt that shielding was not necessary, at the right price I will go with
shielded cable, just to add an extra layer of safety.
After shopping around at Bestbuy, Blackbox, CDW computer and a few others,
it became obvious that www.cdw.com has the best prices on cat5e cables and a
very wide assortment of colors and lengths. If you set up a corporate
account with them, you may even get another 20-30% off like I did.
So, my installation will be as follows:
Charter Pipeline 750kbaud - Cable Modem - Router -
Computer1
Computer2
There were many, many other ways of doing this installation depending on
wired vs. wireless, router vs. hub, etc, but in the end I wanted something
reliable, easy and fairly cheap.
I hope that this summary will be helpful to those of you who know even less

It's interesting to me how we seemingly think the Italians are the (1) only,
or (2) mostly guilty of running power.
And even though it's appears to be against most of the rules, we think it's
a big joke. Many of us know some who run smash, yet we appear to be in some
kind of awe that they're able to do it, and get away with it
year-after-year.
Where is this so-called "peer pressure", and "self policing" for which we so
admire ourselves?
Running super power gives those who do it a big advantage, yet we think it's
funny?
The Italians are not alone, and it seems to me that it's time for us to get
our collective act together.

I don't really understand people who feel obligated to insult OO's, or
make light of their efforts.
This seems to be a trend that has spilled over from the rest of
society that anything we do is OK.

A good many people operate out of band, especially when they
have power pushed to the limit of the radio/amp.
In particular solid state equipment needs huge headroom to have
reasonable IMD performance, yet I see rigs like FT1000MP's
cranked up to 130 watts or more. If you use a new TS2000 on 160,
IM is only in the -20dB range. Better stay far from band edges with
that rig, especially if you are loud!

The guy should be congratulated. He paid for those stamps,
devoted his time, and we should not operate with emissions that
extend out of band or spurious emissions that cause interference.
Of course the point is well taken that the OO should be absolutely
sure his receiver is not the problem. It would be a good idea if the
ARRL required the OO to detail his equipment, and how he made
the measurement.

I believe the ARRL 10 Meter test gets the most entries of any ARRL contest,
but that's almost over for this decade because of the impending decline of
the sunspot cycle. I like the IARU because it is shorter and you can go
mixed mode if you like, plus this year it is combined with the World Radio
Team Championship. The CW Sprints (4 hours each, twice a year) are frantic
but lots of fun. WAE has lots of activity and the QTC feature adds a unique
dimension. The NA QSO Parties (twice a year in each mode) are also brief
and give you a chance to call your contesting compatriots by name, which I
find good fun, especially on phone.

In ancient times, when I was an OO, ARRL held monthly Frequency
Measurement Tests, where W1AW would come on at a specific time
near a specified frequency, and stations would measure the exact
frequency and submit the measuremetns to HQ.
To become an Official Observer back then, you needed to show the
ability to measure that frequency accurately within a set of limits.
Current requirements are outlines on the ARRL web site at:
http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/org/oo.html. The frequency monitoring
tests are gone, but accurate receiving equipment is essential!
The FCC has made it clear that OOs are to be taken seriously. See
the item at: http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/1999/04/08/3/

A very interesting question. I can only make a few comments and list my own
favorites. Also, I'm not going to list any domestic only contests, since
Top 10 should in my mind be topten internationally (besides, I'm in W1 - we
can't win domestic contests - hi hi).
My favorites, in rough order (notice a CW bias :) - probably I should ignore
modes in this list?):
CQWW CW
IARU
ARRL CW
WPX CW
CQWW SSB
WPX SSB
ARRL SSB
CQWW 160 CW
ARRL 10m
Some other contests I've enjoyed playing in:
NAQSO party
CQ-M
Russian DX contest
And I'm sure I've missed something!

I didnt have time to reply to your initial inquiry, but I'm doing the same
thing you have done with very good success.
However, I bought the Dlink router that includes Wireless LAN and a
printer server port. I bought a Compact Flash Wireless card for my IPAQ
PDA and can now browse the web and email from my living room couch! hi!
It's plenty fast enough. Honestly, I dont use it very much, but it seemed
like such a cool thing I had to try it! hi!
There are security issues going wireless. Even though you can create an
encryption code that should limit access, I'm sure it's not totally
secure. I put the router in the basement and I live on a fairly large
piece of property, so my wireless LAN footprint probably doesnt extend
beyond my property line.
I did want to tell you that I have a 2.4 ghz cordless phone that is
definitely affected if you try to operate it within a few feet of a
Wireless LAN node or base. It comes across as an intermittent buzzing
noise that doesnt keep it from working, but it's definitely unpleasant.
Not sure about using a cellphone nearby, but havent noticed a problem with
that yet and my 900 mhz cordless phone is unaffected.

I agree completely with Tom.
I saw a couple of the notices last night. In both cases, the party receiving
the notice was operating at or above 14348.0. By definition, given the
bandwidth of SSB filters and the placement of the filters with respect to the
carrier, these signals were out of band.
I don't know what it is about our culture, but it seems to me that going 80
MPH in a 60 MPH zone is perfectly fine as long as you don't get caught, and
if you do, its because the cop is a jerk.
One of the strongest features of our hobby has been "self policing." This
aspect of our hobby needs and deserves your support.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Contest Spots
Message-ID: <001c01c1caa0$f7ed80c0$5f20fccd@jvpcb01>
During the recent dustup over spotting, I decided to search the DX summit
database
for my call - just to see what might be on there. I am not an active
spotter - one time
I sent in a spot after working some DX, mainly just to see my call pop up on
the screen.
When I searched for NS3T, I found a second spot which was listed as if I
submitted it
during the ARRL DX SSB contest - the contact was with YP3A.
I got curious and decided to check out the spots involving YP3A from that
contest.
It is somewhat revealing.
There were forty unique calls involved with YP3A spots. All showed YP3A as
the DX.
I checked every single call in the same spot database to see if these
stations posted
spots on a regular basis - and half did so - familiar calls like W3LPL,
K1AR, W4MYA.
All seemed fine there. There was one cheerleader (N2GM) who spotted
YP3A a bunch of times - in each case on 15 meters...but that did not
interest me.
Remember, what got me into this was that my call (NS3T) was listed as
posting YP3A.
14 of the 40 spots for YP3A (35%) were by stations that had no spots during
2002, and
some of them had never posted a spot at all.
This is the list:
K4FWC 21246.5 YP3A YO1828 02 Mar 2002
K7LPK 21246.5 YP3A vy gud sig YO1844 02 Mar 2002
NS3T 21246.5 YP3A YO2010 02 Mar
2002
KJ7UO 21246.5 YP3A YO2050 02 Mar
2002
K1QK 21246.5 YP3A YO2052 02 Mar
2002
W1AMJ 21246.5 YP3A YO2100 02 Mar 2002
W4IMF 21246.5 YP3A YO2106 02 Mar 2002
W3ARS 21246.5 YP3A YO2126 02 Mar 2002
W0GHZ 21246.5 YP3A YO2130 02 Mar 2002
N1BFF 21246.5 YP3A YO2136 02 Mar
2002
K2EVY 21246.5 YP3A YO2144 02 Mar 2002
KA9ZLR 21246.5 YP3A YO2238 02 Mar 2002
KG4GNO 21246.5 YP3A YO2256 02 Mar 2002
Like I said - for all of these stations, this was their ONLY spot of the
entire
contest on the DX Summit database and for seven, the ONLY spots involving
their
calls for all of 2001 & 2002.
What's more interesting is that each spot is on the same frequency over a
several hour period. Others did spot YP3A during this time - a couple had a
slightly
different frequency posted.
What does it mean?
Does it mean that someone at YP3A was posting spots, under the guise of
someone else's call in the US? I am hesitant to accuse anyone of
wrongdoing.
Maybe some of these US stations made only one spot in the contest and
it happened to be YP3A.
All I know is, I did not spot YP3A - but someone submitted a spot under
my call....and the evidence shows I might not have been the only one.
Any thoughts from the contest community?

Dennis,
For most contesters this would be the top 8 not just 4.
{CQ WW, CQ WPX, ARRL DX, and ARRL SS are probably the "top 4"}
The IARU is pretty popular as is the WAE, AA, CQ-m(whatever it's called now)
and there are many QSO parties that are gaining popularity. It just depends

You right, but perhaps they are just the most egregious example.
I mean, I remember reading an article about an Italian M/M effort writeup
in NCJ. The author went to great lengths to describe all the equipment
used. However, he failed to mention any of the Alpha amplifiers which
were clearly visible in the station photographs.
I mean, who are we fooling here?
W7OT and I used to joke about one contest write up about the Lampusesa
"300W" amplifiers. After much debate, we decided that "300W" referred to
the FILAMENT power....

Not at all. I'm all for the contest judges to start DQing and and all

Quacks ( Maybe this thread won't get TOO many on their High Horses as PKT

Dennis that about covers it if you do both modes you have covered 8 contest.
I like some of the state QSO events. CA and FL to name 2. The problem for
some is that IARU, is in the summer and with nice WX it is not always easy
to set at the Radio when the sun is shining and its in the mid- 70's
outside and lots of yard work to keep the XYL happy with.
For those with children it is more difficult.

WB0WAO asks what are the best contests for a beginner to get his feet wet?
Any contest is practice...as far as "Domestic" Contests, I would say the
biggest are
SS
NAQP
NAS
and, of course there is the
FLORIDA QSO PARTY!
Florida works the world and you work Florida - including mobile running
helter skelter through the 67 Florida Counties...
Check out the website at:
http://www.qsl.net/fqp
It is a little over a month until the next running of the FQP, and the
Florida Contest Group is determined to activate all 67 of Florida's counties
once again...chasing the mobiles is a blast - we even have a spot on the
website giving tentative routes for the mobiles in case you are looking for
a specific county!
There is a great cover story in NCJ this issue by K8MR talking about
mobiling in contests...like the Sweepstakes there's always the desire to
"Sweep" all of Florida's 67 counties so you have that to look forward to.
We have had submissions from all over the world including some large ones
from Europe...it is a state QSO Party run by contesters so it is "snappy"!
In case anyone was wondering, FQP2K2 is on April 27 & 28...making it only
45 days until the Florida QSO Party!
Yes I am tooting our horn - but I think it is deservedly so - our State QSO
continues to grow in popularity year after year because it is contester
based...and since we as the fixed and mobile Floridians are your target QSOs
we appreciate the rates you give us - especially us Mobiles who get the rush
when we cross a county line...mobiles can feel like the rarest DXCC entity
for those first few minutes after crossing a county line...its fun!
Check out the website, the Florida Contest Group invites you to play in our
sandbox next month....more details to follow on an e-mail reflector near
you!

Am I blind, or naive?
I've been contesting for over 25 years, have operated from or at least
visited several of the best-known & most successful stations. (K4VX, K3LR,
N4ZZ, W0AIH, K4JNY (usually used with the W4PA call), W9YT in the 1970s,
among others)
The only place I have ever seen a power amplifier capable of more than 1.7kw
output is at work. (unfortunately the dual 50kw rig won't go below
66MHz and is only capable of A5 emission<G>)
Are there in fact contesters in the States running this kind of thing?
Judging from the operating ethics of a small number of operators it wouldn't
surprise me. But it's certainly nowhere near universal, or even common, at
least around here..

Only on 10 mtrs, a few certain key sounds, "five" and "nine", specifically the
"I", kicks the amp offline.
The SWR is not an issue. Overdriving is not an issue. The transceiver output is
barely 50 w.
No compression seems to help. A hand mic was substituted for the boom headset
mic but the trouble continues.
Any hints?

Subject: [CQ-Contest] The Difference Between Rules and Ethics
Message-ID: <040401c1cacd$e4c05180$49eebfa8@mirage>
I think the discussion of spotting, self-spotting, and pre-contest marketing
efforts is a very good one to have in a public forum such as CQ-Contest.
This is an excellent use of the medium. Even if there is no consensus
reached, all of us will have at least considered the question and that
raises everyone's consciousness on the subject.
No one has suggested that K9PG/ZF2MM committed an infraction during the
contest. (Read ARRL contest rule 3.1.4 for the specifics of what is
prohibited.) What we are talking about - and is certainly a legitimate
topic - is contesting ethics of the single-operator genre. The addition of
packet and Internet technology sweeps away old assumptions about what tools
were and were not available to an individual before and during a contest.
Remember the old days when all we had to worry about were the infamous
long-distance phone calls?
Boiling the pre-contest issue down, it is unethical to encourage a specific
group to perform acts on behalf of or render assistance to a specific
station using methods that would not also be available to other competitors.
The concern is not really about the simple act of spotting a club member,
per se, but the support-your-buddy thing, which, must be admitted, could
really get out of hand IF somebody really intended to push that aspect of
it. In organizing the WRTC we worried about that A LOT and it frequently
happens. In WRTC-1990 logs there were clearly "pass the microphone"
incidents. The potential for serious abuse is why I think this issue got
the attention of "senior contesters". K9PG's own log stats show that he
didn't really get much from the marketing effort. However, I'm sure that
with the clever and inventive souls inhabiting the ranks of radiosport
contesters, the techniques could be refined to confer a much greater
advantage if there is not some kind of peer pressure today that it might be
a Bad Thing.
There are many other activities that tread into the grey area. Along with
exhortations to spot early and often (sorry, couldn't resist the Chicago
cliche...) what of special awards, certificates, promises of fancy QSLs, and
other things that increase the desirability of QSOs with one station and not
another in ways that have nothing to do with the competition? Some are
probably OK and others not so OK.
We have to ask ourselves if that great new idea enables us to perform more
effectively or does it deny another competitor a legitimate opportunity to
do so? These are hard questions.

If I was going to only operate 10 contests a year, they would be:
CQWW CW
CQWW SSB
NAQP CW (Jan)
NAQP SSB (Jan)
CW Sprint (Feb)
SSB Sprint (Feb)
ARRL 10m Contest
ARRL DX CW
CQP
IARU
Of course, I operate a lot more than 10 per year... :)
The Russian DX Contest is one of my favorites, but it never falls on the
right weekend for me. Also WPX SSB and ARRL SSB, but WPX CW is during prime
fishing season in Alaska, so I usually miss that.
They're all fun... do as many as you can!

The technical wizards out there will probably hammer me, but
it sounds as though a number of things could be going on. You
did not mention what rig you are using, and what you mean by
50 watts. BTW, my 91B usually runs with about 35w input
on CW.
It is possible that your exciter's internal ALC is not functioning,
allowing certain syllables to ramp and exceed the desired input
level. This can be a particular problem with some rigs when the
output is lowered to drive an amp, as with lower drive in the
exciter, alc may never be operating.
It also sounds like the loading on the amp might be a little light.
Try loading a little heavier and see if that calms things down a bit.
It's usually detection of grid current peaks that trip the overloads.
There is also the possibility that something in your antenna system
is breaking down on RF peaks.
This is the order in which I woukd attack the problem. If it is the
first one (depending on your rig type) you might have to run it at
rated power and swamp the input to the 91B.
Good Luck and 73

This has been seen before for other operations, some of them have been
traced back and summaries of results sent to contest organizers.
If the spots in question were entered from dxsummit (spotter call ends
with -@) the operators of dxsummit should be able to look up and compare
ip addresses of the originators to see if they were all the same. If
they came from a spotting node the sources could be traced and the sysop
asked to help if his node has logging capability like ar-cluster and
dxspider nodes do to get the ip addresses.

And to that I would add that creative marketing is part of what is makes up

Now if you really want to have fun with statistics and spots, analyze
this...
My database for this analysis goes back to 12/1/2001 and contains 256547
total spots. In arrl dx ssb my database has 24609 spots. Of those, 486
were made by spotters who only made one spot and that spot was during
the contest. Those 'unique' spotters spotted 313 different stations.
The recipients of more than 5 of these 'unique' spots were:
Dx count
PY2NDX 16
S53M 11
UA9YAB 10
PW0T 10
YP3A 9
JT1CO 9
5B4/R3CC 9
M0SDX 9
YL2LY 8
H7DX 7
SN8V 7
ZF2MM 7
This is not of course to cast any stones at those who show on the list.
I only offer it to show that maybe the spots of yp3a were coincidence...
but as was shown, at least one of those spots wasn't made by the person
who's call showed on it. The only way to tell for sure would be to take
the lists of spotters and find out if they made the spots or not.... if
anyone is really interested in tracing further contact me directly.
Btw, there are some interesting patterns. Including some that show a
high incidence of stateside spotters who's calls aren't in my latest
buckmaster database.

I noted on 40m during the ARRL DX SSB, where most contacts are split,
having to call on SSB down as low as 7025 made me feel a bit uncomfortable,
albeit still legal for us. It's kind of sad though, the only qrm down there
were illegal pirates. Generally its poor practice to use SSB below 7035 in
our region, but at least we don't encounter the OO style Stasi effect.
(off-subject, I'd recommend the book 'Stasiland' to see how bad it has been
in history).

Since K4OJ is doing such a good job of marketing the FQP, I hope that each time
you see a message from Jim (and others) encouraging activity in the FQP that
you also think about the New England QSO Party the following weekend.
Actually, since both Florida and the New England states have 67 counties, we
think of the FQP as a good warm up for the NEQP... The web site below has
the details.

Ward,
You've given me some pause, since last year, I jokingly offered a "prize"
for anyone worked me on all 5 HF bands (I don't have 160 capability here)
during the CQ WPX. (And only one station, XA5T, got it... based on the
reaction from the QSL manager, I've been convinced that it wasn't worth
doing again). Although done in jest, it certainly wasn't my intention to
run afoul of the spirit, let alone letter, of the rules.
Yes, it's a grey area, and had I been more cognizant of that last year, I
probably wouldn't have made that offer.
But I wonder... is saying "if you happen to work us on all bands, we'll give
you a certificate" something that needs to be prohibited? I know that one
M/M V2 team did that last year in at least one contest, for example, but
considering the number of transmitters QRV during that M/M effort, I'd have
real doubts that it gathered them THAT many extra QSO's.
So offhand, I'd say that if a station offers something of little or no real
value, like a "worked on 6 bands" certificate, it should not be an ethical
violation. Let's not squeeze all the fun out of things. Something more
substansive, though, should be be prohibited -- in short, anything that
gives the appearance of "buying" contacts.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] The Difference Between Rules and Ethics
I think the discussion of spotting, self-spotting, and pre-contest marketing
efforts is a very good one to have in a public forum such as CQ-Contest.
This is an excellent use of the medium. Even if there is no consensus
reached, all of us will have at least considered the question and that
raises everyone's consciousness on the subject.
No one has suggested that K9PG/ZF2MM committed an infraction during the
contest. (Read ARRL contest rule 3.1.4 for the specifics of what is
prohibited.) What we are talking about - and is certainly a legitimate
topic - is contesting ethics of the single-operator genre. The addition of
packet and Internet technology sweeps away old assumptions about what tools
were and were not available to an individual before and during a contest.
Remember the old days when all we had to worry about were the infamous
long-distance phone calls?
Boiling the pre-contest issue down, it is unethical to encourage a specific
group to perform acts on behalf of or render assistance to a specific
station using methods that would not also be available to other competitors.
The concern is not really about the simple act of spotting a club member,
per se, but the support-your-buddy thing, which, must be admitted, could
really get out of hand IF somebody really intended to push that aspect of
it. In organizing the WRTC we worried about that A LOT and it frequently
happens. In WRTC-1990 logs there were clearly "pass the microphone"
incidents. The potential for serious abuse is why I think this issue got
the attention of "senior contesters". K9PG's own log stats show that he
didn't really get much from the marketing effort. However, I'm sure that
with the clever and inventive souls inhabiting the ranks of radiosport
contesters, the techniques could be refined to confer a much greater
advantage if there is not some kind of peer pressure today that it might be
a Bad Thing.
There are many other activities that tread into the grey area. Along with
exhortations to spot early and often (sorry, couldn't resist the Chicago
cliche...) what of special awards, certificates, promises of fancy QSLs, and
other things that increase the desirability of QSOs with one station and not
another in ways that have nothing to do with the competition? Some are
probably OK and others not so OK.
We have to ask ourselves if that great new idea enables us to perform more
effectively or does it deny another competitor a legitimate opportunity to
do so? These are hard questions.
73, Ward N0AX

Top 10 contests here (and I'm considering each mode separately):
1. (tie) CQ WPX SSB
CQ WPX CW
(with my call, this is a surprise?)
3. ARRL DX SSB
4. CQ WW SSB
5. ARRL DX CW
6. CQ WW CW
7. Pennsylvania QSO Party -- sorry Florida QP, you got a long, long ways to
go yet to catch this grand old lady!
8. ARRL 10 Meter
9. California QSO Party
10. IARU HF Championship
Honorable mention: ARRL 160 & CQ 160 Contests, I would if I had an antenna
for the band; Breezeshooters Groundwave & Wireless Association of South
Hill's 2M FM Simplex contests -- two locals for WPA but both a heck of a lot
of fun and extremely popular here!

I believe the ARRL 10 Meter test gets the most entries of any ARRL contest,
but that's almost over for this decade because of the impending decline of
the sunspot cycle. I like the IARU because it is shorter and you can go
mixed mode if you like, plus this year it is combined with the World Radio
Team Championship. The CW Sprints (4 hours each, twice a year) are frantic
but lots of fun. WAE has lots of activity and the QTC feature adds a unique
dimension. The NA QSO Parties (twice a year in each mode) are also brief
and give you a chance to call your contesting compatriots by name, which I
find good fun, especially on phone.

It might not be correct to describe Italians as the most egregious example
of
running excessive power. Italians are frequently loud, and amplifiers
similar
to those used by the average DXer are probably important to this fact. But
if there were no 300W power limit in Italy then we would not be pointing an
accusing finger at Italy. A few other countries have similar power limits,
or
have had similar power limits in the past, which have been ignored to some
degree. I have frequently seen Heathkit SB200's, Collins 30L1's, etc., in
photos of stations in England, Canada, and Australia for instance. Japan
has "20W" limits that frequently are 200 to 2000W in practice. Italians do
not stand out in my memory as obvious cases of excessive power.

What a great weekend from the "little station that could", you know, the
station that "no one" thought about or considered in the scheme of things.
It just shows you, under the right set of circumstances, anyone or any station
can do superb things. It doesn't necessarily require tall towers, stacked
monobanders, multiple radios, and maximum brute-force power.
What it does require is hard, intelligent, and old-fashioned work thrown in
with the luxuries of packet spots and the like. I learned how to operate
without this "crutch" and have tried to instill those values to Mike and
whomever else that operates at K5NZ. We tuned the bands endlessly the entire
weekend, and I think the multiplier total we amassed from W5 proves that this
old fashioned hard work method of operating pays off.
We moved everything possible, we operated without regard for being tired, and
we encouraged each other throughout the weekend to keep pushing.
Above all, I'm extremely happy and proud to hand over the 5th District record
to Mike. Here's a guy who has done all the work himself, maintains the station
himself, and unselfishly offers the station to others to enjoy their hobby.
Mike, thanks for letting me be a part of this operation. This contest will live
in my memory forever, and there aren't that many that fall into this category.
I can think of only 2, now there are 3.
Thanks to everyone for all the Qs and the great time.

Bill K5GA

NS3T noted that he "spotted" YP3A.
I've noticed that I from time to time make similar "spots".
I suspect these are Internet-originated & in the quest to have a quiet word
with the other "me", have attempted to contact those who run the OH9W
page, without luck.
I think I noticed K9PG "spotting" himself from ZF2MM in K5TR's recent
post, so I suspect there may be much more of this going on.

contesting - they have done FD, SS, a few hours of ARRL DX, etc.. For the

Anyone have a set of PowerPoint slides they could share with me, to use as a

I'll be doing this talk on Saturday of WPX Phone at an excellent, HF-capable

Howdy all,
I've spent a lot of time reading the posts and absorbing all of the
information flowing (Nothing like getting 129 new Emails in a day!).
Incidently, I had dinner with Paul, K9PG the other night. We had a
long discussion about the string of posts on the reflector. Here's my
take on the subject:
In my mind, Paul is really smart. He figured that great contest scores
don't come from working all the big stations, but from all of the
additional smaller stations, or occassional contestors.
So, several years ago, Paul started going through his logs and sending
Emails to folks who worked him in the past and reminded them that "XYZ"
contest is coming up, and you've operated the contest in the past, so
please get on and make some QSOs this weekend...
This is something he's done for a while. Sometimes (in the case of
Sprints) it is very effective in generating more contest interest and
activity. Sometimes (as it was for ARRLDXSSB) it did not help much.
He only worked 44 stations of the 139 Emails he sent out.
Some DX stations love getting Paul's EMails. It's like a calendar
reminder of an upcoming contest. Some would have operated anyway, but
occassionaly he gets extra DX stations to get on and operate. This
benefits everyone.
Never has he asked them to "only work Me". His goal is to increase
activity for the contest in general.
Same goes for the SMC. I am amazed at how the SMC has evolved over the
last few years. 500 members, Wow! I truly believe much of their
success is due to Paul's bubbly enthusiasm for Contesting in general,
and it seems to rub off on other SMC'ers. These guys (+gals) actively
recruit new members, provide mentoring and support to new contesters,
and encourage competition and comeraderie. It sure looks like they
have fun doing it too. What a wonderful combination!
Personally, I think the only thing Paul is guilty of is a Passion for
Contesting.
I just wish he'd move to Texas. :-)
73's,
Scott - KI5DR

Very interesting, Jamie.
According to a QRZ search this morning, the first two spots:
> K4FWC 21246.5 YP3A YO1828 02 Mar 2002
> K7LPK 21246.5 YP3A vy gud sig YO1844 02 Mar 2002
are bogus calls, not even issued!
So, I would say you have something here.

Ron,
As one of the members of the "M/M V2 team" you refer to, which obviously is
V26B, I can say that it probably did make a very slight difference in our
score. My guess is that it's very small as this sort of thing appeals to a
small percentage of the ham population and we only get a handful of requests
for them. Your doubts are correct. We have done this for several years and
the same few people seem to go for the certificates year after year.
However, we did not ask anyone to solicit other QSOs for us or to spot us on
packet, or to do anything aside from themselves to look for us in the
contest. Also, we do not advertise this certificate on the air. This is
usually communicated via DX bulletins etc. well in advance. I would say
that it's something we don't think much about - especially during the
contest!
We have a few stations who do let us know during the contest that they are
working towards getting the 5-band, or 6-band certificates. Comments like,
"This makes 5 bands, where are you on 20?" happen frequently, but as I'm
sure anyone would imagine, it's really a small percentage of the time. It's
nice to hear that from others as they call in. They're having fun, and so
are we.
Now, if we were to attempt to plan some sort of scheme whereby we rewarded
those who spotted us the most, or something to that effect, we'd be guilty
of expanding the number of operators performing functions that gain our
operation qsos. This would in effect place operators for our operation well
outside the 500m circle (or whatever it is these days) and thereby we should
be disqualified.
The bottom line is that it's against the rules to ask people to spot you -
even before the contest. Letting others know you will be on the air is just
that - information.

N5NJ / V26O

Oh and who is UOL5Y !
Aside - I suspect that having you station spotted may have as much or more
value in some contest than using spots. The notion of an assisted category
is a bogus notion unless it includes "being spotted" as well as "using
spots".

Leigh,
SB200s and equivalents are considered fairly small amplifiers in the UK
today. A pair of 3-500Zs are fairly standard, but more people are
moving over to 3CX800s/4CX800s.
I can think of a few good reasons for having an amplifier that will
produce more than the legal limit. Here in the UK our limit is 400W but
my amplifier (made by Linear Amp UK.... no connection etc etc, but can
be recommended....) is capable of much more than 400W. Why would I want
that you may ask.....
RTTY contesting which has got to be the most severe test of an amp!!
Even a TL922 gets quite warm running an RTTY contest at 400W (the power
supply gets warm). My amp runs really cool at the 400W level on RTTY so
there is much less chance of failure during a 48hr event. The last
thing I want 40 hours into the contest is amplifier failure!!!!!
Hopefully running the amp well within its limits will prevent failure.
If an amp can last through 48hrs of RTTY contesting, it should walk an
SSB or CW contest!
To get 400W out of my amp requires approximately 20W drive which in turn
means that the spurious outputs and other rubbish from the FT1000mp are
greatly reduced. So, with the radio running well within its limits and
the amplifier well within its limits, hopefully the spectral purity of
my signal will be that much cleaner. The recent discussion on OO
reports and out-of-band emissions when operating close to the band edge

Say you are AA1AA and you want to spot DX0DX under identity of BB1BB:
You go like this.
dx/bb1bb 14000.00 dx0dx Contest
And the spot will appear as if it was posted by BB1BB. This works on
CLX based Cluster nodes. Dont know about others.

Ten years ago, in an high band SB effort during an ARRL DX, there was
no problem to nearly double the first day QSOs number during the second
one, generally there was not enough time along 48 hours to log everyone
that was active, even running 6 or 8 per minutes for hours and hours.
In recent years this was not any more possible, and the second day
brought an average of half QSOs than the first day.
During the last ARRL DX ssb, in an SB 15m I hardly reached one third of
the first day with QSO number, in sunday.
In other words, the second day was mainly a ?dupe contact day? with
horrible rates and always the good same signals calling me back.
So much poor that for a while I thought to give up with such a pain.
Although the first day had excellent conditions with propagation, the
second one was not bad at all, good enough that ten years ago with the
same propagation and equipment I could have logged double than it
happened this year, I?m absolutely sure about this.
My question is: with nowadays bad trends, so much time compared with so
little correspondants, is it still a matter of best operators, I mean
fast and accurate, or we are along the way to favour average ones with
best setups, locations or peculiar conditions ?
Wouldn't be one day a more appropriate period lenght to have fun, rates
and beneficial to pull out the best ops ?

Bob,
If I left you with the impression that I objected to the certificate
practice (and I'm one of those who was quite glad to earn one), my
apologies. I may not have phrased that as well as I could have.
Something like the V26B certificates are fun, and should be, and I don't
have a problem with them. But as I tried to say, they don't neccesarily add
much if anything to your score; for example, I had a bunch of people that I
got on 4 bands during the ARRL DX, and I actively looked for most to make it
5 purely for my own sake (the exceptions being those EU stations I needed on
80 -- come Sunday afternoon, knowning I wasn't going to be on the last hour
or so, there's no way). And it was a lot of fun getting that 5th QSO
(except for one case where one stinker just had to spoil my fun, berating
me -- on air -- for not having 160, so I couldn't claim a "true" sweep, just
a modified one. Well, there's always someone...)
In any case, from what I've read and heard directly from K9PG, it may be
fair to say that some of the people who were spotting ZF2MM got a little
carried away. So if this is the case, a word to those responsible might be
sufficient, and I believe he's taking care of it. 'nuff said.

Ron,
As one of the members of the "M/M V2 team" you refer to, which obviously is
V26B, I can say that it probably did make a very slight difference in our
score. My guess is that it's very small as this sort of thing appeals to a
small percentage of the ham population and we only get a handful of requests
for them. Your doubts are correct. We have done this for several years and
the same few people seem to go for the certificates year after year.
However, we did not ask anyone to solicit other QSOs for us or to spot us on
packet, or to do anything aside from themselves to look for us in the
contest. Also, we do not advertise this certificate on the air. This is
usually communicated via DX bulletins etc. well in advance. I would say
that it's something we don't think much about - especially during the
contest!
We have a few stations who do let us know during the contest that they are
working towards getting the 5-band, or 6-band certificates. Comments like,
"This makes 5 bands, where are you on 20?" happen frequently, but as I'm
sure anyone would imagine, it's really a small percentage of the time. It's
nice to hear that from others as they call in. They're having fun, and so
are we.
Now, if we were to attempt to plan some sort of scheme whereby we rewarded
those who spotted us the most, or something to that effect, we'd be guilty
of expanding the number of operators performing functions that gain our
operation qsos. This would in effect place operators for our operation well
outside the 500m circle (or whatever it is these days) and thereby we should
be disqualified.
The bottom line is that it's against the rules to ask people to spot you -
even before the contest. Letting others know you will be on the air is just
that - information.

When I came back from Gitmo and Navassa in 1972,
I was invited to speak at the Southern California
DX Club in Los Angeles that fall.
The current CQ Magazine had just published an
Editorial by Jim Hathaway, lambasting high power
usage by hams, and stating he personally knew of
hams running in excess of 15,000 watts.
At that SCDXC meeting, during the new business,
a ham stood up and asked that the club should
censure Jim, for lying about W6's amplifiers,
because "Jim knows perfectly well hat I can't
get more than 13,800 watts out" and sat down.

Of course! I'm not suggesting that we all have to become monastic hermits
and conceal our identities with voice scramblers to submit single-op scores.
Is the certificate or QSL available to all callers? Has the solicitation
been widely advertised? In the case of encouraging activity, anything that
encourages others to be active and participate fairly and equally is a great
idea. K1XM and KQ1F are well-known for their beautiful photo QSLs and many
operators make a point to contact them for "this year's" models. But they
certainly don't say, "work only us", and the resulting activity benefits all
competitors - good for them!
The shoe can sometimes be on the other foot. Conversely (pun intended), a
single-op with a bad reputation for QSLing can also create disincentives to
make QSOs, for example.
Here is a personal example of my own... I was at one time considering
sponsoring a NW regional "SS Sprint" that would be a three-hour competition
for WA, OR, ID, BC, etc. stations on 40 and 80 between 9 PM and midnight.
The idea was to increase activity on the low bands by stations that
otherwise would not be active and counteract some of the advantage on those
bands enjoyed by the 1-2-3-4-5 districts. After some consideration, it just
seemed too much like stocking the pond with local ops unlikely to work much
outside the region and I let the idea drop. Now maybe the idea of the
three-hour nighttime category for all entrants would be a good idea.
Anyway, you get the idea - it would facilitate the making of QSOs that were
likely to be unavailable to others.
We will not all make the same determination of appropriateness in all cases.
However, the awareness that there IS an issue to be considered will improve
the sport and quality of competition.

So what constitutes "substantive"? Is a bottle of Maderia wine for working
s a station on multiple bands "substantive/" How about the CA QSO Party
where the top out-of-state scores receive a bottle of CA wine. Do you
disqualify the entire contest for that? I must confess I did not declare it
on my tax return. How about a tee-shirt for working 100 Italians (running
only 300 watts of course) in the WAIP Contest? Maybe we should do away with
door prizes at Dayton. And, maybe forget the free hats at Yaesu. Say, what
about the freebie Kenwood log books? Once you go down this road, it ay a
hard one to navigate without running into some potholes.

Actually, running a 1.5 KW amplifier at 400 W will generate lots of
heat, unless the amplifier can be loaded very lightly, a tricky thing
on SSB, and probably impossible on 80 and 160. If you load a 1.5 KW
amplifier normally, then reduce the drive to 400 W output, the tubes
dissipate about as much power as at full output, though the power
supply does not. Running a TL922 in the low voltage position helps,
but it still won't be efficient at normal loading. To efficiently
run a 1.5 KW amplifier at 400 W with the normal loading capacitance
and drive power, the plate voltage would have to be reduced to about
half the normal value.

Forgive me but I don't think either one of these amps in their stock form

10.2 Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with Basic and Advanced
Qualifications
The holder of an Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with Basic and Advanced
Qualifications is
limited to a maximum transmitting power of:
(a) where expressed as direct-current input power, 1,000 W to the anode or
collector circuit of
the transmitter stage that supplies radio frequency energy to the antenna;
or
(b) where expressed as radio-frequency output power measured across an
impedance-matched
load,
(i) 2,250 W peak envelope power for transmitters that produce any type of
single sideband
emission, or
(ii) 750 W carrier power for transmitters that produce any other type of
emission.
I really don't think 2250 PEP is capably supplied from anything mentioned.

Another interesting tidbit in the ZF2MM (vs. 8P5A) packet saga. If one
were thinking maliciously, one could also provide misinformation via
packet to make life difficult for a contest DXpedition.
For example, I happened to be tuning across 8P5A when a packet spot
for AP5A hit the screen. All of a sudden, poor Tom was inundated with
dupes ruining a perfectly good run. I'm sure the busted spot was not
malicious in this case, but it could have been...

Subject: [CQ-Contest] More Contest Spots
Message-ID: <005b01c1cba5$29c80020$5f20fccd@jvpcb01>
My first note raised questions about why my call (NS3T)
had been found as "spotting" YP3A during a recent contest.
It prompted a number of responses and led to some further
investigation, albeit on a very limited basis.
K1TTT ran the database of the spots from DX summit for
the two ARRL DX contests, focusing on spots that came
from "unique" calls - meaning that station only spotted one
DX station during the entire contest.
I quickly reviewed spot data for only three stations, simply
because they had come out on top of K1TTT's review:
PY2NDX, S53M and UA9YAB.
PY2NDX had over 40 spots during the ARRL SSB contest.
Three of the calls are not active.
W8GKL 21306.0 PY2NDX PY0035 02 Mar 2002
WB0YUI 21306.0 PY2NDX PY0051 02 Mar 2002
WB2GHJ 21408.6 PY2NDX PY2233 02 Mar 2002
What is interesting is that W8GKL and WB0YUI were the
first two spots for PY2NDX for the contest, both in the first hour.
and both from calls that are not active.
S53M is a different animal. I did not find any bad US calls,
but there were a number of spots from foreign DX during
the contest, including several with S5 calls. There were also
an inordinate number of spots by W3LPL.
UA9YAB raises many more questions. In the ARRL CW
contest, there were not that many spots:
N7UJZ 28092.9 UA9YAB arrl UA90144 16 Feb 2002
W6AGH 28093.9 UA9YAB UA90234 16 Feb 2002
WB0WQS 28093.0 UA9YAB UA90240 16 Feb 2002
N7HIY 28015.4 UA9YAB test UA90318 16 Feb 2002
W7WAS 28044.9 UA9YAB UA90331 16 Feb 2002
VA3DX 28081.1 UA9YAB UA91158 16 Feb 2002
WN9O 28062.5 UA9YAB UA91306 16 Feb 2002
N7HIY 28073.0 UA9YAB test UA90237 17 Feb 2002
W0ETC 28073.1 UA9YAB UA90239 17 Feb 2002
N8NR 28073.0 UA9YAB Zone 18 UA90300 17 Feb 2002
KK1S 28047.0 UA9YAB cq z18 UA91118 17 Feb 2002
K1NU 28152.4 UA9YAB UA91351 17 Feb 2002
Four of the calls had only one spot during the contest: the first two,
N7UJZ, W6AGH along with W7WAS and KK1S. All are active.
In the ARRL DX, UA9YAB had 13 unique spots.
N7UJX 28444.0 UA9YAB UA90123 02 Mar 2002
KC7WL 28505.0 UA9YAB UA90149 02 Mar 2002
W7YCB 28505.0 UA9YAB big signal ARRL z18 UA90248 02 Mar 2002
W6TGM 28505.0 UA9YAB big sigs from z18 Siberia UA90409 02 Mar 2002
KB1VC 28555.0 UA9YAB arrl UA91234 02 Mar 2002
W0WSX 28618.0 UA9YAB UA91314 02 Mar 2002
K1WSC 28625.0 UA9YAB UA91441 02 Mar 2002
K7ZNC 28515.0 UA9YAB UA90154 03 Mar 2002
K7YUH 28515.0 UA9YAB big signal from z18 UA90421 03 Mar 2002
W1MVZ 28465.0 UA9YAB UA91144 03 Mar 2002
W1TOS 28580.0 UA9YAB UA91236 03 Mar 2002
K5TCX 28580.0 UA9YAB cq test UA91249 03 Mar 2002
K5TXZ 28434.0 UA9YAB UA91336 03 Mar 2002
If you notice, the first two spots of both contests were uniques - and the
first call was almost identical, N7UJZ (CW) - N7UJX (SSB).
BUT..what raises more questions is that the following calls did not show
up when I checked the FCC database:
W7YCB, W6TGM, W0WSX, K1WSC, K7YUH, W1MUZ, W1TOS,
K5TCX, K5TXZ. None of those are listed as active.
Add to all that the following two spots by UA9YAB:
UA9YAB-@ 28555.8 UA9YAB cq for sked with vo2wl 1524 02 Mar 2002
UA9YAB 3788.0 UA9YAB cq arrl QSX3812.0 UA91207 03 Mar 2002
I invite more hams to check to see if their calls have "spotted" stations
during contests. VR2BG pointed out that somehow ZF2MM had
spots made by his own call K9PG. I checked, and there were
four of those. He didn't do that - but someone else did.
All of this information was gathered from the DX Summit database
search.

Might I point out that my intention while writing was not to find fault with
the operators
in the UK, Canada, etc. My personal views on the use of amplifiers in the
countries
that do not allow 1500W PEP output as the USA does could probably be
interpreted
as being considerably more liberal than the views of the governments within
those
countries. I'd frankly like to see a level playing field in contests on an
international
basis encouraged both within the rules and regulations of governments and
contest
sponsors. For instance, I often wonder about the senselessness of rules
that dictate
that a contact between a station in Rome and in the Vatican is one point in
the
CQWW, while a contact between two distant points in the United States, or
two
similarly distant points within Russia, China, Australia, etc., count as
zero points,
even when they are not in the same CQ zone. No, I don't find fault with the
CQWW
organizers for staying with a winning formula.
I simply have a more cosmopolitan viewpoint regarding amateur radio contacts
and their relative merits than the viewpoints that are held by DXer's in
general who
hold great pride in their country totals that, after all, are based
primarily on boundaries
that are merely political. I sense that political boundaries may be less
important in
the distant future, and differing power limits across borders must surely
pass in the
future as well. I'd also like to see the privileges of licensed amateur
operator's
defended as if they were rights to some degree. Being victimized by local
city
government's rules and regulations that violate the spirit of PRB-1 (yes, I
realize that
this is only the rule of law in the US) has made me quite strongly aware
that
governments abuse authority and violate the rights and privileges of amateur
radio
operators to a much greater degree than the population in general.
In defense against abuse of amateur radio privileges by governments, I'd
also
like to suggest that anyone who reads this and has the ability to should
familiarize
themselves with the proceedings between the FCC and two former amateur radio
operators -- Herbert Schoenbohm and Kevin Mitnick. Yes, I realize that this
does
not seem on first glimpse to be an international issue. However, I believe
that it
truly is... In the case of Herbert Schoenbohm there may be something that
each
of us can do to advance our own personal views on the subject. Neither of
these
two are personal friends of mine, but I believe they are on the front lines
fighting
the battle against governmental abuse of power against amateur radio
operators
and very much defending my own personal rights. And, there may be something
that many outside of the US as well as inside can do in their support.

CQ VK contesters,
I'm going to be in Australia from 27th March until 18th April touring
around the country. Are there any contesters out there that would like
to down a few VBs and exchange a few 'war' stories? I'll be starting in
Sydney but after that is still in the planning stages.....
I don't suppose there are any multi-op efforts around the Sydney area
for the CQ WPX SSB contest that needs an extra operator?

While we were talking about spotters who only made one spot in the whole

many times. Well for the ARRL DX SSB test I went through the database
and came up with these numbers:

What do these tell us??
First, W3LPL makes a lot of spots!
Second, stations that cq a lot get spotted a lot.
Third, stations that spot one other station a lot more than anyone else
stick out like a sore thumb.
To make the first line more interesting, consider the following:
HA5IW also spotted 2 other stations, once each
HA5KDQ was spotted by 5 other station, once each
For all of you who are now ready to lynch ha5iw, and are wondering who
in the world ha5kdq is... note that all those spots were on vhf or uhf
bands, apparently in some European vhf/uhf contest. (same for the
groups of spots for ea2ure, hb9dso, and pi4zod)
Which brings up the fourth point... you can prove anything with
statistics taken out of context.

"or have had similar power limits in the past"
There was a time that the power limits in Canada were significantly
lower
than the US limits. Note that I am not pointing an acusing finger at
Canadians
regarding this, but defending the Italians as being in line with the
worldwide
trends. I didn't see the lower Canadian power limits in the past as
reasonable,
nor do I view lower power limits in other countries as reasonable.
I'd
prefer to see consistent power limits worldwide, just as I'd prefer to
see
an end to human rights abuses by governments worldwide, and I'm
willing
to be outspoken about it.

Hmmm, well I was way bored at work :-) so I decided to do the same. This is
what I found:
DX-SUMMIT Spot Database:
WB0WAO-@ 28388.1 UA3AGW ARRL vy loud 1359 03 Mar 2002
WB0WAO 14239.0 YO4RUI YO0400 11 Mar 2002
To say the least, I was quite suprised! The YO spot I DID make a few days
ago at the stations request, but the UA3 spot I did not make!!!!! I did
work that station at 1357 on 10m on the 3rd during the contest, but I could
not have made the spot - the 'puter in the shack is not online! It runs WFW
3.11 and is not internet "capable". The ONLY way I can get online from home
is with my WebTV (forgive me!) that is in the living room. To check DX
Summit or to make a post, I have to get up and go to the living room, turn
on the WebTV, log on, etc. I have for obvious reasons, not made many spots
at all! Sometimes I do go check DX Summit, make a few notes and then get on
the air, but never during the 'tests. So, the bottom line is that someone
"bootlegged" my call on the cluster as well!

Not a chance of that happening. Just think, the original purpose of dx
clusters was for contest spotting! I had to work hard to convince the
first few sysops to keep them on the air between contests so the
frequencies(they were all rf connected at that time of course) were kept
occupied and users could learn how to use them before contests... after
that features like qsl databases, mail, and other nice dx'ing features
were adopted by the weekday non-contest users.

While being a contester myself and usually using the cluster during contest
and entering the appropriate category, I still will maintain that the sun

contesters who use the DX clusters.

Yuri:
Who are you going to get to operate the Cluster nodes if they have to be
shut down during contests? It takes a lot of time, money, effort,
dedication, and, often, a big tower, to operate a cluster node. Many of
these are at stations which enter contests in multi-operator or
single-operator-assisted categories. Why? Because they built the nodes to
help them get spots sooner, and to enhance the capacity of the network by
adding nodes which accomodate more users without overloading the existing
nodes.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: The DX Cluster network
primarily exists to provide spots during contests. I'm not talking about
what most users use it for. I'm talking about what the node builders built
the nodes for. If the message from the contest community is that the
cluster system is not wanted during contests, then in a few years there
won't be a system at all, except over the internet.
I think that by having different categories that everyone can choose among
depending on their taste, we have approximated a level playing field as to
spotting assistance. Yes, that doesn't eliminate "packet pilups" on
non-assisted DX stations, but I can think of a lot of things that are
different from 20-30 years ago, and most of them are for the better. Packet
may be inconvenient for those who choose not to use it, but I can't think of
a better way to reduce overall activity than by eliminating it altogether.
(Unless we really want to discourage all the casual DX'ers who make a couple
hundred QSO's in each contest just by finding new band-countries on packet.)

I don't think this is a viable solution especially given the fact that some
clusters are private. The only thing that makes sense is to "eliminate" the
assisted class. After all, as many other have pointed out, when we moved
from hand keys and bugs to keyers -especially those with a memory - we did
not create an assisted class. And when we moved from separate rx/tx to
transceivers and no longer had to zero beat we did not create an assisted
class. For reasons that are beyond my comprehension ( and maybe someone can
fill in some history) cluster spots are perceived as assisted and not simply
a technology change. I suspect, the origins of this idea are rooted in the
concept of the spotting station in the M/M class -- I suggest that it is not
the same. It is obvious that the notion of the assisted class has to be
revisited - BUT how do we convince the power that be to re-examine this
issue? Now there is the question :)

1. Is a bottle of Maderia wine for working an individual station on all
bands excessive? Unless it's really cheap wine, and it doesn't sound like
it, yes, I'd think so.
2. Is a bottle of California wine to the top out-of-state scores for the Ca
QSO Party excessive? No -- and not relevant to an individual station
offering an out-of-the-ordinary benefit for working them. This is offered
by the sponsors of the contest, and is an incentive for OOS stations as a
whole to operate -- not to contact one station in particular. And how does
one disqualify an entire contest, anyway?
3. A T-shirt for working 100 Italian stations in the WAIP? Again, if this
is being offered by the contest organizers, not relevant.
4. Dayton prizes, Yaesu hats, and Kenwood logbooks? Oh, c'mon, that's not
even got anything to do with a contest.

So what constitutes "substantive"? Is a bottle of Maderia wine for working
s a station on multiple bands "substantive/" How about the CA QSO Party
where the top out-of-state scores receive a bottle of CA wine. Do you
disqualify the entire contest for that? I must confess I did not declare it
on my tax return. How about a tee-shirt for working 100 Italians (running
only 300 watts of course) in the WAIP Contest? Maybe we should do away with
door prizes at Dayton. And, maybe forget the free hats at Yaesu. Say, what
about the freebie Kenwood log books? Once you go down this road, it ay a

Well, that was interesting.
Got six responses in private email, only one went to the reflector.
(actually it was a copy of one of the six sent privately)
One other op had also never seen an excessively-large amp & didn't believe
any were in operation in his area. However, others in the same area were
certain that such amps *were* in use.
Powers between 3 and 15 kilowatts were cited. Several responses indicated
they knew of people running overpower but that those people weren't
contesters. Some, however, did know of overpower contesters, past and/or
present. Nobody admitted to using excessive power themselves...
Now I'm not concerned about amps capable of reasonable headroom. Can you
make 2-2.5kw? That's reasonable. (of course, we expect that you actually
*operate* it at 1.5kw) Similarly, something capable of 500-600w at an I or
G station where the legal limit is 300-400w is not a big deal. To be
literal, there's really nothing wrong with having a 15kw amp as long as
you're letting it loaf at legal power. (regulations may differ in your
country!)
Heck, I used an IC-765 in the QRP category in ARRL DX - it's capable of 20x
the legal power in that category - you have to take my word for it it was
cranked down to 5 watts..

they were not self spots, just one station spotting another one lots of
times. This is fairly common even over here on some vhf/uhf bands,
since I am pretty far from a big city I hear the same stations over and
over on some bands so that is all I have to spot.

self-spotting and crazy pile-ups on DX frequency after every spot.
Or try to find a way to catch those cheaters.

I have a FL-2100B here, and after a few hours in a RTTY contest,
it used to get so hot (running 250 watts)the power would start to
drop off. I found a couple of old computer power supply fans and
set them on top of the amp, and now it runs cool throughout the
entire contest. Cheap fix.

It seems funny that we got along for YEARS without PacketCluster

Unfortunately this is not the case but it is not known to many hams!
100 W radio uses 200 W pair of transistors which exibit minimum distortion
levels at half power output.
Spurious transmitter products increase at both lower and higher RF power
levels.
20 W of RF drive is very close to transistors idle DC dissipation and clean
RF output can only be achieved in class A only offered by FT1000MP MK-V
radio.

Hello all
On behalf of all the participants in the Wisconsin QSO party I'd like to
thank all the stations in Wisconsin, the US, Canada, and DX stations who
got on to provide some contacts. I noted many well known calls from all
over spending at least some time in the contest. DX activity seemed to be
at a high at least for me. I operated from 3 counties Sawyer (fixed), and
Price and Rusk mobile. Hence I have two seperate entries. The story behind
this is a power failure at my cabin. I worked HA0DU and LY3BA from all 3
counties, G4KHG and OK2EC from 2, and EA8AKN, EI4IS, HB9DAD, OZ8ABE,
DL6KVA, G3WPF and HA2AC from one. Thank you all very much.

I do not belong to the club or have anything to do with running the
contest. I'm just a happy participant.
See you next year !!

Russian DX contest starts in 4 hours from now. See the details and results
on www.rdxc.org
According to the statistics on that site there were 6500 participants and
over 1200 logs sent last year. The yearly increase inthe number of
participants is about 25%. There are very few contests that can boast over
1000 logs sent. Hope this year there will be more participants from North
America.
See you in the contest. We will be MS as RF9C on all bands.

Yes correct. If this happens during a contest it should be up to the
contest sponsors to do something about it, i e enforce rules etc, but
so far as far as I know they simply ignore it.
By the same token stations that are splattering or have excessive
key clicks should also be DQ?d by the contest sponsors since they
sabatoge for other competitors but ofcourse nothing is done.
Things like this has made me loose intesrest in contesting, it?s not
skill that pays off any more just money and sharp elbows and a behaviour
that doesn?t promote the old saying "hamradio for international friendship",
it?s sad but IMO it?s a fact.

There are bunches of reflectors on www.qth.net. There's an ICOM one but I
don't know about one for the 781 specifically.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the fact that CQ WPX SSB is on
Easter weekend this year. I know in the past they have used the
excuse that Memorial day and Thanksgiving are American holidays
and much of the participation in CQ WPX and CQWW DX CW are outside
the USA. This is different because Easter is celebrated practically
everywhere in the world. IMO another stupid decision by the folks at
CQ....

Don't usually rise on these, but isn't it time that we STOP calling
people names who do work for FREE organizing these contests.
The weekends are fairly well packed and do not move their slot from
year to year. If you knew anything about Easter, you would know that
it never falls on the same Sunday from year to year. It follows the
Jewish festival of Passover, which is timed on a lunar calendar.
Furthermore, Christianity is hardly the religion of a majority of the
world populace.
All of which may explain why nobody except you brought it up.
Guy.

Message-ID: <15b.aa4e426.29c53f5a@aol.com>
looking at those spotting stats, the VP5 or the 9A1 spotts from W3LPL with
19 or each. Most likely it was probably 2 spots per band on each and most
likely spotted the first time they turned up tht day.
Those stations lucky enuff to enjoy the luxury of having a "mult spotter" are
making most of these stations and not the run station.
all spots appreciated however

That seems kinda like a cheap shot to me. Exactly what were you
insuating when you wrote this? That he is the only one on this
reflector who celebrates Easter? If so my friend, you are sadly

There are plenty of Muslims, Jews, Hindi, and others that do not
celebrate Easter.
Of course, for me, having WPX SSB on Easter weekend means only a
part-time effort is possible....

I think you misread the post.
1) What does it mean to you when I say >>ALL OF WHICH<< ? Would that
not be ALL of the points above, ALL of the points taken TOGETHER,
including the ones you didn't quote?
2) Christianity IS a minority religion. Miniscule presence in China, a
very minor presence in India/Pakistan, or the Arab-speaking world, all
those easily accounting for a majority of the world population.
Christian holidays are NOT universally celebrated around the world.
And even among Christians, different churches do not all celebrate
Easter or Christmas on the same day.
WPX is a world-wide contest. I am sure there are other contests that
fall on important feasts/holidays in other countries. It would be
impossible to avoid all holidays everywhere. why are ours any more
important than anybody else's?
The cheap shot belongs to the original poster.
73, Guy.

But there are plenty of locales, where as a vestigial artifact of
colonialism the four day weekend is still a secular holiday even though it
may not have any particular significance to a majority of the citizenry as
a religious celebration.
As a consequence of the coincidence this year, participants will find
either: (a) they have more time to devote to WPX than in other years; (b)
they have less time to devote to WPX than in other years; (c) they have the
same amount of time to devote to WPX as in other years.
It's going to help out some and hurts others; leaving things alone is not
necessarily an unenlightened or uninformed decision.

Just to set the record straight, Christianity is by far the
religion of choice for most of Europe, North America and South America.
It also represents 33% of religious adherents worldwide.
http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html
Given Christianity's predominance in NA and EU where contesters are most
populous, I'm quite certain it IS the religion of the vast majority of
worldwide contest participants.
Sometimes we do choose priorities in life other than contests
which is very healthy in my opinion. I also choose to celebrate
my Wedding Anniversary rather than the CQ WW CW when it falls on
November 27, but that is a personal choice...as is observance of Easter.
There is little doubt in my mind that holding the WPX SSB on Easter
Weekend (also Jewish Passover) hurts overall participation but that is
CQ's choice and one can hardly argue with their logic of always keeping
the WPX SSB on the last full weekend of March.

We had to compensate for the slipless night so most of the scores from
Russiand will show up later.
At RF9C we made this year around 2860 QSO for the total score of 8,7 million
points.
Unfortunately the propogation on Sunday was not as good as on Friday. That
is why it seemed like there were very few NA stations participating. Noted
anyway that several (like N2NT, K3WW and some others) had well over 1000 QSO
after the first 12 hours of the contest. Hopefully it was enjoible for all
those who took part seriously.

You guys are losing me on this one. It seems all quite simple to me. If
you are going to be in the contest fine..if not..that is ok also. I must do
some research and see when Easter is going to be on WPX weekend again....so
I can unsubscribe for a few days.
Let the games begin......soon.

FYI, from my Religion 101 class:
Religion: % of World Population:
Christian 32.4
Muslim 17.1
Hindu 13.5
Buddhist 6.2
Jewish 0.4
Technically speaking, there is no "majority" world religion as no single
one has a percentage greater than 50%. But while Christianity many not
be a majority religion, it is the largest and I'de bet that it is the
majority religion of world contesters, with most contesters living in
the U.S. and Europe, both hot spots for Christianity.

Might it be possible to slide this religious tripe into the same pot as
politics, and away from ham radio contesting ?
About the only connect I can make between religion and ham radio is that
the religious TV channels are a good reason for TVI to continue.
Beyond that, I for one could care less about religion, or any similar opiate.
Now then, if you have some thoughts on how to come back to Earth in second

I would suggest that if everyone's score goes down 32.4%, then
the scheduling of WPX was a problem.
If scores don't go down, it's not.

This thread demonstrates once again that there is very little we "can't"
argue about.
The stats about adherence, however, are skewed: they don't include those who
choose not to be religious.
Be that as it may: Given that religions typically use different calendars
than the rest of us in setting dates for religious observance (except that
most commercial of all holidays, Christmas,) and the resulting "floating" of
holiday dates, I don't believe it is possible to design a contest calendar
that:
1. is predictable year in and year out.
2. doesn't result in conflicts certain years.
3. follows the Gregorian calendar (indisputably the most widely followed
calendar).
Unless you want to put the contest calendar on the Julian system. Which
would mean you'd NEVER know when a contest is supposed to be held.
So instead of calling people stupid, perhaps we could just accept that some
decisions are unavoidable. And perhaps we could accept that "our" take on
the world isn't necessarily everyone else's.

Thanks all for the info on the most "popular" 'tests. And TNX to Igor,
UA9CDC, for the info on the RDXC 'test. Had a great time and will do it
again next year!!
Now my NEXT question is about logging software...
I take it there are 3 "main" ones - CT, NA, and TR. I am running a 486
166MHz 'puter with either DOS or Windows For Workgroups 3.11 - nope, no
WIN 9x - and seriously doubt that I will be using rig to 'puter or rotor
control interfaces. I will probably use the CW interface when my CW
gets up to "contest speed". There is no packet cluster up here in this
area of Michigan - "Up North" - as of yet, but who knows someday there
may be? I have a couple of these 'puters, and may want to network them
together as the YL wants to operate in contests as well when she
upgrades as a multi/multi or multi/2R. Also, no CD-ROM drive on the
'puters either.
So, taking all of the above into account, what would be the group's
suggestion on the "best" one of the 3 for me to use? I am kinda leaning
to NA as it seems to be the most "inexpensive" and has the capability to
allow me to create templates for contests.
See you all in CQWPX! Have to work the night of the 31st, but should
get in a decent amount of time in the beginning of the 'test.

Are they?
I mean, if you've crossed the line at 300 watts, why stop at 1.5 kW? Why
not go to 3 kW, or 10 kW? After all, if you're breaking the rules, you
might as well break them good, right?

If Italy had a 1.5 kW power limit, I'm sure there would also be less
excessive power use (beyond 1.5 kW), period. If you haven't crossed the
line, there's less of a temptation to go for excessive power.
>Italians do not stand out in my memory as obvious cases of excessive power.

I wonder if we need smarter spotting software.
Why couldn't the software keep track of the last 30 minutes or so of
spots, and then inhibit spotting of a station if it was spotted already?
That way, you could spot every station you worked while S & P. The
software would filter out the duplicate spots. That way, there'd be much
less conjestion in the spotting networks, since there would be a lot
fewer duplicate spots and a lot more unique ones.
--
My experience with spotting comes from NQ4I's M/M station. To keep the
packet window clear, I'll often delete spots that aren't applicable. Like
a spot for K3LR or W3LPL. I can't work them anyway. It's somewhat
annoying to see spots like this pop back up. If duplicates were filtered
out at origination, then we'd likely only see a spot every 30 minutes or
so.
Of course, this wouldn't help fix the spots with busted calls for
stations I've already worked. For that I need a button that says, "Ignore
spots for this station". (This would fix the K3LR or W3LPL situation)

-0-
Writelog traps callouts in its band-scope window, doesn't reflect duplicates,
and drops spots out after a user specified interval. Not necessary to even
LOOK at packet, just point and click on the color coded callsign on the
bandmap. You can tell needed mults from unworked stations, and you can see
dupes.
Of course, it can't be responsible for the myriad of miscopied calls, and
typos that are committed. Fortunately, one can filter out BUST/callsign at
the node!

These days, most people would also include WriteLog as one of the
most popular contest logging programs. SD is also very popular in Europe.
You can read a review of contest logging software by G3CWI at:
http://www.qsl.net/g3cwi/contest.html
It is over a year old, so some details may be slightly out of date
(for instance, TR now has some very minimal RTTY support.)

We use DX Telnet as the spot sucker for a CT network...I know it has

I am still baffled though why you just do not have the spots showing that

CT filter option you are using - typically on day 1 all our rigs are set to

Uh, Jim you mis-interepreted me.
I was speaking of spots *OF* K3LR or W3LPL. Not spots of other stations
FROM K3LR or W3LPL.
In CQWW, I can't work K3LR or W3LPL for credit from the US. (OK, it could
be a multiplier, but I'm likely to get that anyway)
On the other hand, I'm very happy to receive spots from K3LR or W3LPL.

Come to think of it, the last couple of times at NQ4I's, the internet
packet gateway was set to filter USA stations.

I do that.

The band map is nice, but it takes up a lot of screen space.

At a M/M, you'll have it set for stuff for this band only. I'll flip back
and forth between mults only or new QSOs only, depending on conditions
and my mood.
I can think of three reasons to delete a spot:
* I've already listened and I can't hear the DX.
* Spot is a busted callsign of a station I've already worked.
* Spot is otherwise superfluous (eg a "called-in" spot)
I end up deleting a lot of spots in the course of a contest....

I have been reading the discussion for a while,
for my knowledge, and if look through certain
webpages, I find amplifiers capable of excessive power
all over the world.
The reason why stations from Italy are louder in the states then other
Europeans are simply the better location.
They work stations with good reports I can barely hear
in northern-germany.
This phenomena already excists within Germany if one compares signals between

Message-ID: <025c01c1cee1$3e9a0810$934afea9@TL01>
Hello everyone. The recent discussions and belly-aching about Easter and
also that European RTTY contest butting heads with the Sprint got me to
thinking.
As unpleasant as the thought might seem, I predict contest consolidation is
in our future in some form or another. I would like to throw out the
question "what are the pros and cons of combining/eliminating certain
events?" I think we'll be better off down the road if we have kicked it
around much like we used to kick around the idea of using computers to log
with.
As a hypothetical for-instance, imagine getting all the sponsors of state
QSO parties to agree to hold their annual QSO parties during the exact same
period (and of course standardizing the exchanges). I can think of good
reasons to do this:
1. less clutter in the calendar
2. tons of activity
I can also imagine a lot of sacred cows being turned to hamburger. But
let's say it could be pulled off in grand fashion? That would be one heck
of an event. Could it be positive?
What is the downside?
Was this discussed already at a time when I was not paying attention?
Mark, N5OT

I am getting it now....
So, if you had a "domestic"filter option to hide the W spots you would
prefer that....and
I also gather that you would like to have an option to limit the amount of
time a posting stays in the bandmap....
That is a whole different nut - seems like the software should be able to be
readily adapted as far as time showing for a spot...would recommend you go
to a dedicated reflector for the software you are using...i.e. NA Reflector
or CT Reflector and go from there.
73, now I understand your dilemma!
By the way did you know that it is only 40 days until the
Florida QSO Party....

Comments:
Friday afternoon @ 3 PM the station was ready, I was ready and cndx sounded
great. I was psyched! 6PM when I got up from my nap, I had chills, a bad
headache with 102 fever and lots of gunk in my chest. I had gotten my
daughters FLU! I knew I was in trouble because the SOABHP category is
extremely competitive and a real endurance event. If you are very sick, you
have almost no chance at winning.
I knew it was a race against time and I decided to take my offtime at 02z
on Sunday. I hoped that I could tough out those 26 hours until the
antibiotic, cough medicine and ibuprofen could take effect.
I had a BLAZING start on 40 with 94 q's by 0030 and 126 q's @ 0040 and I
entertained thoughts that I could make it to the end and break my record.
I started SO2R to keep up the rate and finished with a 167 first hour, but I
was fading very fast. By 0130 my fever was up to 103 degrees and when I
coughed it felt like someone was stabbing me in the head. I operated most
of the next hour wearing a parka and wrapped in a blanket with my head on the
operating desk.
Over the next 8 hours, whenever the chills and fever lessened I would try
SO2R but usually after about 5 minutes I was back to one radio without
tuning. I just didn't have any energy and the discomfort was intense.
When you are sick, you really notice just how draining SO2R can be!
Cndx seemed fabulous the first night, but then the bands seemed to fade about
14Z on Saturday. I had a lot of trouble keeping my concentration and keeping
up the rate. In one respect, doing very little SO2R made it easier to
concentrate on running, but I just couldn't stay focused and awake.
By 19z, I was just trying desperately to make it to my 02z planned offtime,
but the fever wouldn't diminish and the cough/chills were taking their toll.
I went to 40 @ 22z and had a decent hour (115) with a few LP JA's but then
the hallucinations started on top of everything else. Since I have not
had any contest hallucinations since the '87 ARRLCW, I knew that my body
simply couldn't take anymore and it was time to quit. I staggered upstairs
at about 0030z and slept until about 15z on Sunday.
I had 2891/356 at 00z which I was thrilled with under the circumstances.
I hadn't passed many guys to other bands nor actively tuned for much of the
contest with the 2nd radio, but despite that I was still on a record pace.
I felt a little better on Sunday (after 14 hours of sleep!) and operated
wrapped in a blanket. I just couldn't get anything going on Sunday and it
was still too difficult to actively tune much with the 2nd radio. Late in
the afternoon, the medicine started to help and I began passing guys and
actively tuning. This was becoming fun, but it was not the kind of
competitive effort that I had hoped for.
After the contest, I mentioned to Barbara, my XYL, that in the '93ARRLCW
I drove 270 miles with the flu and earaches to operate at KM1H when I was
even sicker. I operated 43 hours in that one and came in second, but needed
two days to recover before I could drive home. Barbara told me I was 9
years younger then and pretty foolish. She was right. I didn't feel too
proud after that!
Thanks to everyone for the q's and the QSY's and congratulations to W4PA
on his victory and to W9RE, N2IC, K9NS and others for their great scores.
Despite everything, I had a lot of fun and look forward to the 2003 ARRLCW!

Message-ID: <005e01c1ceec$751dde60$3829fea9@CATDISH>
The sixth annual Ontario QSO Party will take place on the
weekend of April 20-21st starting at 18:00 UTC on the
Saturday to 18:00 UTC on the Sunday. This contest
is sponsored by the Ontario DX Association.
The "OQP" is Canada's third largest amateur radio
contest! VE3/VA3 stations work everyone, while
stations outside Ontario chase VE3/VA3-land stations.
The contest takes place on all HF bands (except WARC)
both ssb and CW, along with the VHF/UHF bands.
There will again be plenty of multi-county "mobile" and
"rover" activity. There are 48 Ontario multipliers to
chase!
Last year saw a record number of entries submitted and
we hope that we'll see another record number of entries
again this year!
Complete details are at http://www.odxa.on.ca/oqphome.html
There's also an OQP reflector that you can join by sending
a "blank" e-mail to: oqp-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

Well, operating from the east coast, I will say that
I've never had my headphone-enclosed ears rattled as
much as I have from loud Italian stations.
Propagation, power, whatever...

I have been reading the discussion for a while,
for my knowledge, and if look through certain
webpages, I find amplifiers capable of excessive power
all over the world.
The reason why stations from Italy are louder in the states then other
Europeans are simply the better location.
They work stations with good reports I can barely hear
in northern-germany.This phenomena already excists within Germany if one
compares signals between north- and south locations.
Peter
Peter, you are partly right.
We have the same situation in a small country like Norway. If the country had
been turned upside down the North Cape would have been in North-Africa ! hi .
Our Eastern corner is on the same longitude as Cairo !
Sop when somebody elsewhere is reporting " they worked Europe " - one has to
be more specific ! hi
After all Italy is almost North- Africa.But they have always been mostly phone
people , and back in the dark ages with AM , we used to say they had 100 W
transmitters and 500 W modulators!
Now they just turn up the processors !! Hi

State QSO Parties bring out a lot of "casual" contesters. These are
typically folks who don't work a lot (if any) other contests. Folks "in
state" are the wanted people, and they can have fun with running
stations in a more relaxed and laid back style. This might get them
comfortable enough to take on the challenge of giving a "major" contest
a try ... a new contester is born!
Combining QSO Parties produces just another "Sweepstakes" or other
domestic contest ... which we already have. The activity levels (and
frustration) will be more than the "casual" contester would want, so he
keeps his radio off ... a potential "new" contester is lost.
Of course, if there are several smaller State QSO Parties struggling to
stay alive, I see no no problem with them combining efforts to help
boost activity ... but combining 50 QSO Parties, plus the VE's ... is a
bit much.

Right! And you might consider comparing the comment field as well.
Consider, say a 40m spot that has QSX 7220. If the DX changes his
listening frequency (QSX 7240), you'd want that spot to go out.
So, I think an outgoing filter would compare the callsign, frequency
(perhaps matching within some small epsilon region) and comment with the
incoming spots for the last 30-60 minutes. If it's a match, the spot
would be supressed and not sent out.
With such a filter, you could spot every station you work while S & P and
not fear about flooding the spotting network with superfluous spots.

Folks,
I'm most grateful for the flood of inputs for the first two columns of the
"Contesting on a Budget" series. Now I need your help for the upcoming
column on used equipment.
I'm sure many of us have some interesting stories on their experiences in
buying used gear.
- Where do you look for used equipment bargains?
- What resources do you use to determine what piece of equipment you want to
buy?
- What are words in ads that raise your suspicions about a piece of gear or
antenna?
- What are the most high-risk and low-risk items to buy?
- How do you arrive at a fair market value?
- Package deals, is it usually better to go this route?
- Any comments on the on-line buying and selling?
Your comments on any or all of these questions are most welcome. If you have
a story that you feel may embarrass a seller, I will keep the callsigns out
of the article to protect the innocent. (and the guilty)
Thanks in advance for your inputs. Happy contesting and high rates!
Paul, K5AF

Message-ID: <003a01c1cf6e$6f4c2d20$3f1b8ad8@JamesFunk>
In addition to the down-sides already mentioned, the lifeblood of state QSO
parties is the mobiles they bring out. Many of these are out-of-staters who
help in more than one party per year. Combining all of the parties into one
big hallabaloo (is that a good word?) would significantly decrease the total
interest level, IMO.

Here in this part of the world Italy is always louder then most other Europe
stations. They usually come crashing through any pile we may have. They
seem to have propagation to Alaska for 24 hours a day on 20 meters during
the good times. I have seen Paul, NL7V, who speaks Italian, work "I" stations
for hours on end here during the multi-op contests.
England seems to have the weakest path to this part of the world.
The other countries all have a few stations that seem to be louder then their
countrymen, contest after contest, as location and good antennas makes a big
difference no matter where you operate.
Italy has a lot of hams in a good area of the world for radio. They probably
have
more then their fair share of good near sea water locations. All this probably
makes contesting a little more fun which adds incentive to put up better
antennas,
etc. The "big" amp stories probably comes from the local internal battles among
those that need to be louder then anyone else. Same as we have here in the U.S.

I don't understand this "fear about flooding the
spotting network" - if you are S&P'ing to generate
spots, and working them, 60 an hour is hot and
insignificant in volume, I would think.
Do you run a node, and if so, is volume a problem?
And if you filter out your 15:30 spot, because
you spotted that station at 15:00, then I'll
never see that station if I come to that band at
15:31 because of your posting filter.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] FT990, how to power it on the field? (sent to YEASU
digest, with no answer)
Message-ID: <F1AEA6C013CBB64E97E6CF9A6F94FA8E0260D5@ronja.totem.net>
Hello,
I have tried this with YEASU digest, but no answer, now trying here, hi.
I have a FT990 with inbuilt power supply. I would like to use it on the
field. Only chance to power FT990 is using electricity board. Any chance
to use cars battery to power FT990? Does YEASU have something? I
remember that my old FT902DM had battery contact (13.8V) apart of that
it had inbuilt power supply. Thanks

Subject: [CQ-Contest] TS-850SAT and Optional Filters - Opinions Wanted
Message-ID: <D418C6B4A038D611BF1900508B2CC5D91EBA60@1-CRDF-MAIL>
Hello, I use a Kenwood TS-850SAT at home for DXing and Contesting. I
am currently building up my CW speed/proficiency after 8 years off of the
radio. My main activities now are SSB and using CW comes 2nd at this point
in time, but may soon change to even usage. I am looking for opinions about
the optional filters that can go into the radio's 3 optional IF filter
slots. There are 2 8830 slots and one 455 slot. Based on your experiences
with contesting and dxing what would you opt for?
I am currently thinking of purchasing all Inrad filters. The models
93 (455khz - 1800hz SSB), 95 (8830khz - 1800hz SSB), and 103 (8830khz -
400hz CW). The radio has stock 2700hz filters in both IF's that I currently
use for SSB.
Lastly... I currently have one Kenwood YK-88C-1 (8830khz - 500hz CW)
filter currently installed in the radio. Would you agree that I should sell
this filter and replace it with one from Inrad? I have read many people
consider the Inrad filters to be better than the Kenwood filters but have no
basis to judge this on personally.
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tim N6WIN.

Message-ID: <111.f4644a4.29cba2a2@aol.com>
Hello dr contesters !
I am not really a newcomer (except on this list), but I have
a (stupid ?) question : Regarding the way that contests are
now corrected, should the QRP stations be logged as /QRP
or not ? Will the robot, let's say for the major contests (CQ +
ARRL), recognize AB1CD and AB1CD/QRP as the same station ?
Sorry for trouble if this question as already been posted on the
list by the past.

For cw, I like a pair of Kenwood 500 Hz filters. I used to have a TS-830
with both Inrad 400 hz filters, and I thought it was too narrow. You
really had to ride the RIT to pick up callers even slightly off frequency.
For SSB, I like the stock Kenwood 2.7's. I have an Inrad 1.8, but hardly
ever
use it. I think it hurts intelligibility while reducing bandwidth, and the
net
result is negative. The 850 does not have passband tuning as such, so you
will
probably have to adjust the carrier set point with the narrow ssb filters.
Even
after doing that, I still think it hurts more than it helps.

Yes, yes and YES. The INRAD filters are the best.

They are fabulous. Nice sharp skirts that really play on cw and the phone
ones REALLY make the slope tuning on my 940 work exquisitely on SSB.

I have used an 850 with both Inrad 400 hz filters and another
850 with both Kenwood 500 hz filters. The Inrad filters have a bit
steeper skirts, but either combination would be good.
I've never found a need for the 1.8 SSB filter.

400 Hz filters, but it was a little too narrow. You really had to ride the RIT
to avoid missing callers who were even slightly off frequency.
For SSB, I like the stock Kenwood 2.7 filters, with four or five clicks of low
cut cranked in. I have an Inrad 1.8
in one of the IF's, but find that, while it noticeably improves selectivity, it
hurts intelligibility
of the desired ssb signal. If you do get the narrow ssb filter, you will
probably have to adjust the carrier set point frequency. Even after doing that,
I find that the loss of intelligibility is too much for my liking.

Those who find life long enough for QRP can have their way. However, announcing
it together with the call sign is merely a pathetic attempt to get into the

change that. /QRP isn't part of anybody's call, so logging it is totally

===================>
Herve,
To my mind, it really would not matter as to whether you place the QRP
addition to your call or not.
Good operators will know how to log you properly.
Recognizing and receiving the QRP additional with your call will not really
slow a good operator down.
Sometimes it might serve as that little bit of "extra" to draw attention to
your call.
For every benefit of putting the QRP addition to your call, others will
find a detriment to same.
If I were operating QRP, I would not use the QRP additional to my call, as
placing it within the call would seem to draw away from the drama of the
pursuit, but others might differ on this philosophy, as well.
Bottom line, I don't think there is a right or wrong answer.
Sort of like clipped letters in a CW exchange; does it help or hurt - only
the phantom knows, with the possible exception of the professional amateurs.

Tim,
I have used almost every combination possible in the 3 TS-850's that I've
owned. I bring one or more of them to Antigua for contests.
I have settled on two sets of 3 filters that I install depending on the mode
I'm going to be operating.
For SSB I use:
-the stock 2.7's (very wide) ( these are built in to the radio)
-Inrad 2.1's in both IF's (Very steep skirts) (in the 500 positions)
-a Kenwood 500 Hz CW Filter (so I can work some CW +/- the contest) (in the
270 position)
For CW I use:
- The 2.7's
- Kenwood 500's in both IF's
- a Kenwood 270Hz filter
The CW configuration matches the 850's display.
For SSB, I had a Kenwood 1.8KHz filter that I tried in place of the CW
filter, but could not hear any difference between it and the Inrad 2.1
filter.
I would suspect that the Inrad 1.8 might be too narrow - except maybe for
wide CW or RTTY or really extreme SSB circumstances. The 2.1's are very
restrictive. While you're operating you don't notice how tight they are,
but when you switch back to the 2.7's you realize how limited the frequency
response was.

Bob N5NJ / V26O

The same thing happened to me. I think a few individuals must have reserved
large blocks of rooms for their clubs or friends.
As a result Susan and I will not attend the Dayton for the first time in 18
years. But I am sure that doesn't matter much to the hotel (or the
Hamvention). We will stay home and save our money for antennas, rigs, etc.

Might it be possible to clarify your feelings on this for the benefit of

He might still be somewhat confused by your not getting to the point.

There are several fishy things about the Dayton Crowne Plaza.
Last year I had a confirmed room, in writing. Took the precaution of
checking about five days in advance - it had gone - "no record"! My
confirmation slip meant nothing.
I have another written confirmation this time. I called at 8am EDT
sharp on that first morning, was put on hold for 50 minutes, and
finally got the next-to-last available room. Decided to check on that
precious room regularly . Called the Crowne Plaza national number,
only to be told that they couldn't help because the Dayton hotel
keeps all reservations locally for special events. Hmmmm.
My assumption has been that big DX/contest clubs were reserving
blocks before the individual booking deadline. Perhaps the true
explanation is sleazier? If so, how can I get in on the deal next
year?

Folks,
I have been operatingn QRP for several years.
It's frustrating, demanding but fun too.
I do sometimes sign /QRP but most of the time I don't.
The main reason I do is for QSLing purposes.
If I work someone and don't mention that I am QRP, then when
that someone gets my QSL then he is apt to forget to
put my call on the QSL as /QRP.
Sometimes those that do sign /!QRP do get an edge in a pileup
and sometimes without signing it you break the pileup
anyway. It's amazing what you can do.
Quite a few years ago when I lived in West Texas, a buddy of
mine had an Argonaut 509 with the extras sans amp. I kept telling him
that the rig was only half of a radio. One day he talked me into borrowing
it and using it in a contest. I did and believe me, I was astounded.
It was amazing!
Life may be too short for QRP for some people, but, I'm just
not in that big of a hurry nor am I big bully that has to be the very first
in line.
I've run Amps before, even had WF5E's BIG BERTHA 4-1000 for quite
a while, so i know the feeling in busting the pileups! I've been DXing for
40 + years
and am still 2 away from the HR. I'll get there someday. It ook me 30 + years
to get USACA-ALL COUNTIES but I got it. Oh yeah, I'm working the counties
again...this time QRP, of course...30 or so to go.
Another thing to consider is taht if you live in an area That is prone to
receiving
interference, you can run QRP all weekend and not have to answer the door
or phone.

I believe that the contest was cancelled due to dwindling
participation, which was probably caused by the fact that
K1DG always won every category!

K1DG always wins.
Participation has dropped significantly over the last few years in protest.

Howdy,
Dedicated Contest Op ISO Open Seat At Contest Station.
Will be available friday through saturday early evening (family stuff on
Sunday). Live in Baltimore so would be interested in open seat somewhere
reasonably close to Baltimore. Reasonable is defined as ..... ask! HI! I
normally work with TEAM WR3L or DALLAS' COWBOYS W3PP but both stations
are out of service this SSB contest.
So if you think you might like to have an op.. drop me a line PRIVATE
EMAIL (k3ft@amsat.org).

I operate QRP in most of the contests I enter.
I enjoy it.
I don't use /qrp appended to my call.

I agree. It's their problem if they want to (1) extend the length of their
call, (2) extend the length of the time of the QSO, (3) increase the
potential for being miscopied, (4) reduce their rate, and/or (5) appeal to
the called station's emotions.
Believe me, there are enough suckers ...er...ops out there who will respond
the the /QRP bleating to make some QRP ops continue to use /QRP. Put the
blame where it belongs: On the stations who continue to say "who's the QRP?"
or send "/qrp?"
I think you are being unfair to a pretty significant ham population of
operators who aren't or may not be contest-wise as you. Their experience
has taught them that /qrp appended to their call seems to work for getting
them QSO's, so they use it. I don't hear them using /qrp in QRP contests,
by the way. :-)
You need to get on QRP-L reflector and express your concerns about their
usage of /QRP.
>Using low power means being last in the queue
No it doesn't. No QRO station is strong everywhere all the time and no QRP
station is weak everywhere all the time. I'm sure ... no, I know I've beat
out many, many ops in pileups who were running LP or QRO while I was running
QRP. Happens all the time.
/QRP isn't part of anybody's call, so logging it is totally
> useless.

Then don't log it.
duh!

Isn't this all sounding a bit like buying tickets for a rock concert? The
first umpteen rows are for the rock DJ's and their squeezes....the bulk of
the remainder go to the ticket houses who then raise the prices a magnitude
or two. The rest, you would be lucky to see or hear.
I was so laughing at Utah during the Olympics...here's this so-called
religious-oriented/-established State..no beer, no alcoholic beverages, and
who knows what other restrictions, but ticket-scalping of their citizens is
okay!

Quack's
I agree with the statememt that /QRP is just a waste of time. Look at the
nr of dits and dahs. That is equal to a 1x2 or 2x1 call. the /qrp usually
follows a 2/3 call sign. This really drags out a contact and if you miss
one of the letters in the person's call, they usually send the wd7???/qrp
again , I operated the Stew Perry 160 test and didn't send QRP once. In
that one it really wouldn't make any diff but in the WPX with high rates.
BIG DIFF.
The /QRP never makes it to my log for submission.

How can a thing like this be so difficult? A callsign is a thing
that identifies your radio station, i e from what country you
operate and a the specific person it belongs to.
If you dont operate from your normal location you are forced
to indicate so. Forexample OH/SM2EKM if I go to Finland.
If I work portable from my own call area in Sweden it would
become SM2EKM/p if call area 3 SM2EKM/3p or if I?m
mobile I use /m or /AM /MM etc etc.
It would actually be illegal ti sign /QRP /QRO /BATHTUB
/TRAINMOBILE /BICYCLEMOBILE or what ever
mickey mouse stuff like that.
An NO I will not log QRP either, or any other invented
mickey mouse thing by strange people.
Why not make it simple? If I work a contest what is the goal?
Yes, to make the QSO as quick as possible. How is that done?
Well, the fundamental part is to get the station you try to work
understand your callsign as quck as possible. How is that done then?
Well, NOT by giving /QRP or any other thing like that that will
confuse things, NOT by giving anything else but your call sign.
and please note MY callsign is not "Kilo Mike" or "Mike Two" or
"Echo Kilo" IT IS Sugar Mike Two Echo Kilo Mike and no
nothing else.
Why does people make things harder then needed?
73 Jim SM2EKM
PS: For pople that arent sure of what their callsign is dig out the
amateur licens form they once did get from the authorities and
read it one more time, your callsign will be on that paper
PS2: I wish we had more people like 9K2ZZ

I take my hat off to those who, quietly, work stations with qrp. More power
(pun intended) to their elbows, as some might say over here. I know of a
number of US stations with very high DXCC totals running qrp, but others
may not be aware of it simply because they do not add '/qrp' to their
'callsigns'.
Personally it has always been my practice to sign the call issued to me by
my licensing authority though I am bound to admit that, technically
speaking, from a particular call I made only three qsos with the exact call
specified in the licence and 90,000 with what I assume the licensing
authority really meant.
There is a number of operators who think that signing /qrp gives them
special privileges. They are allowed to call at any time irrespective of
the fact that a qso is already taking place and, when contacts are being
conducted at a quick pace, they can send their callsign for 60 seconds
without listening. Indeed there is no need to send the full call, mere
sending '/qrp' repeatedly should be sufficient for the DX station to stop
everything and attend to them.
In short they think that drawing attention to their being (?) qrp means
that everyone else should stop and wait for them. It's rather like the
'please listen for my buddy' nonsense aka 'lists'.
Real QRPers do not sign '/qrp'.

Hi,
Has anyone tried to take a rig onto an airplane lately? Is this permitted
any longer? I want to take a 12v mobile rig in my hand-carried suitcase.
Without a power supply, I won't be able to turn it on if requested to.
What is likely to happen?

Excuse the interruption...I know its not directly contest related but:
Hearing rumors that "old" IRCS will expire on June 30th...anyone else hear
this? Can you convert the old ones to the new style?

Why would it matter if a card comes back to you with the /qrp? Does
that make the card any more correct? How would the station you work
have any way to verify that you were qrp to make that qsl mean anything
beside that you made a contact.

Hi Hal. I've flown several times since 9/11. Here's a list:
-Baltimore, MD to Denver, CO
-Denver, CO to Bozeman, MT
-Bozeman, MT to Denver, CO
-Denver, CO to Baltimore, MD
-Raleigh, NC to Baltimore, MD
-Baltimore, MD to Raleigh, NC
I've used several different airlines and have been to a variety of
different sized airports. My experience is that if you are carrying the
rig on the plane with you:
-It's highly likely they will search the bag it's in/question you at the
medical detectors/x-rays.
-They will almost certainly search the bag it's in and question you at
the gate.
In my experience they seem to understand what cameras and laptops are
but a mobile rig might give them problems. My advice is to:
-Have the original copy of your license with you.
-Have a through and neutral explanation for what it is and what you
intend to use it for.
-If you can, find an advertisement for the rig in an AES, HRO, or like
catalog and bring the catalog along with you.
-Bring a power supply with you if at all possible so that you can turn
it and turn a few knobs for them.
-Inform them that you know you can't use it while the plane is in flight
(at least, without the pilot's permission).
Most importantly, try to take the questions and searches "in stride". If
they don't see you getting nervous or acting weird and freely giving
consent the odds are great that they will let you carry it on. Make sure
to have a good story for what it is and be open and candid throughout.
DO NOT bring along any screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. with you. If they
have to open it they will have all of these tool there but DO NOT bring
them with you.
I would also advise that you allow plenty of time to get to the gate/on
the plane (must more then what they recommend) just in case they do go
over it thoroughly and have a back-up plan for what to do with the rig
if they won't let it on. Also, although it's not PC to say so, you will
have an easier time making it through security if you are any of the
following, the more the more likely:
-Male
-White
-Not overweight
-Not tall
-Not wearing a lot of layers of clothing
In my experience that has been the case since 9/11. Just my $0.02. Best
of luck and 73!

Just line up.
Be exactly on frequency.
Call with your callsign sent only once.
No last two only calls.
Don't everybody call at one time.
Before the contest, make sure you are in the callsign database.
Make sure all packet spots are callsign correct.
Only send a 599 report.
I agree.
Putting QRP in with your callsign makes it just too hard.
Now then, you mobile stations, just don't even bother.

Well, in the mail today was a card from a JA for a qso in last weekends
BARTG and include was a new style IRC!! They are as big as a qsl card
themselves and clearly stated on the back (in about 30 different languages)
is the expiration date, 31-Dec-2006. So these new ones clearly will expire
but after checking again on the older ones I have, I can find no expiration
date. I'd check at the local post office but every time I bring one in, it
takes the whole office just to figure out how to spell IRC. 73

The best contest going by far is the Poison 'de Avril contest
which has been running on April 1st for some time (haven't seen
any announcement yet this year). You can operate any mode you
want, any class (make one up and be sure to win), make up your
own exchanges, etc. The neat thing about it is that you can
print up your own first place certificate or go buy a plaque and
get it engraved to show your are 1st place finisher, World No
waiting for results to be published in a magazine, then the long
wait for the prize. No limit on band changes or how many radios
can be on the air at the same time. Use packet and be S.O.
unassisted, legally. For a complete set or rules, contact Doug,
K1DG.

Hal:
Get an extra power connector or cable for the rig. Then get 2 battery
holders, each for 4 "AA" cells. Attach the battery holders back-to-back
with double-faced tape or super glue. Wire both packs in series to the DC
connector for the rig. This will provide about 13v, and will power the
receiver of most 12v radios for about a minute. That's OK, since all they
want is to see the front panel light up and noise come out of the speaker.
Even if you leave the radio on long enough to run the batteries down, after
an hour wait the batteries will be capable of the same thing again, although
for a shorter period. I change the batteries every trip. Even if they
don't like the battery pack, after you've explained what it's for, as long
as they've already checked the radio you can just toss the batteries out and
replace them at your destination and you're only out $5-$6. (A "stick" of
12 "AA" alkalines as Radio Shack usually costs about $8).

Message-ID: <007201c1d2c1$ba0fc000$59d6d6cc@scott>
Many have raised very good points as to why /QRP should not be logged. I DO
log the /QRP, however, mainly because I tend to log whatever was sent in the
same manner in which it is sent, AND because there is no way I'm going to
remember to put the /QRP designator on a QSL card unless I have some record
to tell me to do so.
I guess another reason why I log /QRP is because I know that some people
will make contacts using different power levels...didn't someone enter the
CQWW SSB 160m Contest in two separate power categories? I know a couple of
DXers who will work a DXpedition on all bands and then go back and work the
same group as a /QRP station...I agree that it makes just as much sense to
sign /QRO, but also agree that it sometimes helps in making a
differentiation between the different contacts (and keeps the person from
looking like a LID who is bent on making numerous insurance contacts).
And another confession...I'm one of the ones guilty of telling the /QRP
station to go ahead, thus helping to encourage those who sign /QRP to
continue the practice. Why? Not because I feel sorry for the guy, but
because for some reason it stands out. The same applies to the station who
uses unique phonetics. Right or wrong, "Itchy Underwear" on SSB is usually
going to get through quicker than "India Uniform" (and I'm sure these words
will come back to haunt me in the next contest...). As "Quack" said, /QRP
is often the only thing you'll hear of a callsign. Annoying, perhaps, but
true. Someone slap my hand the next time you hear me call for the /QRP
station or when I answer the station sending only two letters of his/her
callsign...
Of course, I believe the original question concerned whether or not omitting
/QRP from a given callsign was considered a logging error, and it appears
that the answer is "No."
It would be interesting to see the numbers of /QRP designations in CW vs.
SSB...I think spending a weekend sending KS4YT/QRP on CW would drive me
crazy; especially when I think about the number of times that a station I'm
answering will have already worked someone in the time it takes to send
KS4YT at a slow 25 wpm.
I agree that the best place for this subject is on the QRP reflectors, and
I'd be interested in seeing the various opinions expressed there. I guess
if someone wanted to create a backlash against the practice of signing /QRP,
we could all start sending /QRO and see the reactions. Of course, then
we'd have to come up with an appropriate designation for those in the 50-200
watt range, wouldn't we (or is my ignorance showing)? =)

I don't understand the confusion.
The contest will be held on April 1, same as every year. I announced the
full rules last night around 03Z on 20M CW. I am pretty sure VP6DI copied
them OK - even though I was running QRP I was on a nice clear frequency
around 14075.
For the record, there are no QRP categories in the Poisson d'Avril. Life's
too short, and we are all getting older. Some of us will actually get a
whole year older just during this contest.
I will win the P d'A again, same as every year. And I don't understand why
people would protest my winning every year and quit trying. After all, did
people complain when K1AR won the CQWW and ARRL DX contests all those years?
Oh, wait...maybe that's a bad example. Never mind.
I'll try to get around to posting some rules this week if the medication
takes hold. Or better yet, make up your own. I'm flexible. Winner in each
category I approve gets the secret password for Crowne Plaza room
reservations. I can't tell you now what the password is, but it's a kind of
a fish.
So if you think you have a category you can win, give it your best shot.

Message-ID: <154.b12d093.29cef2ec@aol.com>
Hello All,
Thanks for all the answers about /QRP logging
or not. Some of them were useful. My wish was
not to speak about QRP or not (in contests or
whenever), but to have the feeling of the wellknown
contesters on that specific point.
Besides (out of topic, sri), I recently bought an
AL1500. Built in was a QSK-5PC board which I
definitly don't need. Only few AL1500 are in use
in France, so there is probably no interest here.
If someone needs it in NA, please make an offer.

Hal,
If you find out you can take the rig on board, what you might
want to
do is get a 12V Wall Wart that can just supply enough current to power
the Transceiver. You can get wall warts up 2 to 3 amps if I remember
correctly
and that way you will be able to turn the rig on. There is no reason they
would
aske you to transmit that I know of.

Hal,
here's a partial answer to your question re radios in carry-on luggage. In
February I flew to Tahiti from LAX (non-stop) on Air Tahiti Nui. I carried my
FT990 and assorted electronics in a locked Pelican case, as well as an Icom
735 in a carry-on bag.
My companion and I had a total of 4 checked pieces of luggage as well as
three pieces of carryon (including a laptop). On ticket counter checkin, our
checked luggage was randomly (yeah, right!) selected for X-ray while we
accompanied it. The Pelican case had to be opened and checked for explosives
or residue, but otherwise there was no issue.
On going to the gate my carryon with the radio (and a bunch of wire and junk)
was tagged for visual inspection. The radio was of no interest (neither was
the laptop). The Vibroplex paddles were of great interest however ... no one
quite knew what to make of them or for that matter my explanation of what
they were for ... "Morse Code?, you mean people still do that?"
No problems whatsoever ... of course I did have to give them my shoes, but
that's another story ... (I got them back).
On the reverse trip, things were even easier although all bags were X-rayed
leaving Papeete for LAX. No need to open anything however ...
All in all, I think that worrying about increased security re radios is
unnecessary. If you fit the profile you're going to be questioned and
inspected at some length, if you don't, you won't be --- radio or no radio.
73 and have a great trip

One thing to watch for if you actually try to cash in an IRC is the
postmark. My local PO actually has someone who understands them and has
refused to cash them for missing postmarks on the side that is supposed
to be stamped when you buy it. He has also refused them when he can
tell that the postmark isn't from the country I am trying to send the
card back to.

Message-ID: <3C9DF12C.6872@erols.com>
Hal Offut's post was a good one. I must add one small correction, though
as it deals with an important point.
Many have asked, over the years, about OPERATING their ham rig onboard
the A/C. Contrary to the popular understanding, the ONLY one who can
officially authorize use of transmitting equipment that is NOT certified
for use with the A/C in question is the CARRIER. It must be in writing
and must be from them.
The pilot, crew, or others cannot do this. They CAN restrict bringing it
on.. (and if an inflight emergency, then they have total command of the
craft and can allow it to be used, of course!) but the carrier is the
only legal authority who can grant you permission to operate.
73
Chuck K3FT
Tis a bit off topic for contesting.. but important detail, none the less.
I checked this with ARRL and carrier operators.

Probably because LP and QRO stations are more ubiquitous (both
individually and combined as a group) than QRP stations. Perhaps QRP
stations see this "rareness" as some sort of advantage and want to make
it well known (even though it isn't an "advantage" over their
competitors, other QRP stations). In this case by sending "/QRP", about
the equivalent of a 1x2 callsign on phone or CW in addition to their
real call.
Or maybe because QRP stations rarely break pile-ups when they do they
want it to last as long as possible, hence why they send "/QRP" and
often repeat their call several times :-) In my view, life's too
short for QRP and life's defiantly too short for "/QRP".

Folks,
There has been some good advice, and some questionable on
this topic.
First, I have NOT carried an HF rig onboard since 9-11. But I
fly virtually every week, and I HAVE carried an HT, with no
difficulty, several times.
Prior advice is pretty much sound, about having your license
with you. Couple of things, though:
1) Visit customs, in advance, and get a declaration form which
permits you to list the inventory you are carrying with you.
They will stamp this with an official stamp. Carry it in the bag,
always. Get several copies of this, in case some bureaucrat wants
a copy for his records. Doesn't matter whether you're leaving the
country or not. It officially lists your inventory.
Include in that inventory ALL wire, headsets, keys, and
interconnecting cables. Be specific.
2) Place your tools in a checked bag. You can't carry them on.
3) DO NOT bring batteries jury-rigged to permit you to fire up a
radio which requires that you plug in the power supply. It's sketchy,
at best, and suspicious looking, at worst.
If they insist that you power the rig up, ask for an AC jack,
and get on with it.
If they want to see you transmit...point to the rolled up 40m dipole
made of #24 wire, in the bag...and say, I have to stretch this out to
transmit.
4) When approaching the X-Ray machine, advise personnel that they
WILL want to hand inspect the radio sack, as well as run it through
the machine. This sets you apart from the mainstream, and positions
you as a responsible party. Then be patient with them.
As for me....with an investment in carry-on bags for my 756pro & ic2kl...
I'm going the Pelican case route, next time. For 200 bucks, you can
solidly protect your radio, and not strain your back. And it's waterproof.

Message-ID: <20020324.153036.-214295.5.john-k1rc@juno.com>
Hi all,
Interesting thread.
As a QRP type since '78 (go 'head and snicker..),
I never send /QRP when doing hunt & pounce,
which is about 99.9% of the time.
EXCEPTION:
If the other stn sends /QRP then I'll send it and
make it a 2X QRP contact.
Like tom said "../QRP is not valid designator "
and IMHO a time waster. (no offense intended)
When I'm calling CQ (and beating off the wolves)
and things get slow, every once in a great while I'll
throw out a "/QRP" - just for the heck of it, to see if
I can hook that occasional stn feeling sorry for my
P-weak signal...
But, I doubt if I use it more than a dozen times
during a contest...
The way I see it, QRP doesn't mean send sloooow
cw. I'm constantly tweaking the speed knob on the
keyer to match the other station.
I've found that my call is most readable between
28 and 32 WPM. [exchange is faster]
By readable, I mean -no/minimum repeats-
and not messing up the other guy's "flow".
In the Army I topped out at 45WPM, but thats alot
of brain cells ago. Ifya know what I mean.
Just my $.02

That would seem to allow "/QRP". I do run QRP often, but
do not use the indicator - and find it very annoying when I
have to copy it along with someone elses call.
Now, how about all the mobiles that sign "/M"? Isn't that
a prefix assigned to England and thus illegal?

Let me add my experience.
On my way from Jacksonville, FL to Cayman Islands I experienced no problems
with my checked-in luggage (hard wall small suitcase). I was carrying a
IC-706, Alinco DM-330MV, Sony laptop, memory keyer etc.
On my return from Cayman, all luggage was "hand searched". After she opened
my radio case, panic set in. I showed her my ZF2LM license and Cayman issued
license to import the gear. After examining the documents, she thanked me
for it and closed the case.

There is something fishy here. I know for a fact, the log I sent
to him last year had a higher score than he claimed. In fact I
found out that there were quite a few others that had higher
scores than he did. I sent a local operative of mine over to
check, and when he went into Doug's shack, he was caught,
frantically shredding some documents. All of the logs that had a
lower score than he did were still there, but as for others, they
all seemed to have disappeared. All that was found was a large
bin full of shredded documents of some kind. I was going to
register a complaint with the sponsor of the contest, but lo and

Is this San Juan Puerto Rico?
If it is,
there are some restaurants and small lounges inside the new terminal
that will allow you to stay within the security control points.
It is a very new and modern terminal so indeed it has changed from 2 years
ago
Security is very strict but its very confortable. Enjoy your trip...
I suppose you are going to somewhere in the leeward islands..

"M" might mean have more than one interpretation, based upon historical

I have wondered about this, as well.
Sort of like an "N" .. is it a 9 or an "N" ??
It may get logged wrong, and scored wrong by the computer that is on

Dunno................ Maybe it just does not fit the computer program.
Communications interpretation being controlled by the software instead of

Just more flavor to be added to operator controlled contest communication

Since /QRP is a power designation, I suspect that people should
ALWAYS suffix the call sign with the operating power such as:

If one were mobile in, for example, Hawaii, any of the following would be
acceptable identifications using voice:
(callsign) mobile, (callsign) mobile 6, (callsign) mobile KH6 (or NH6, WH6,
AH6), OR just (callsign).
On CW, the words mobile or portable are to be replaced by "/".
The mobile or portable designator can be before or after the callsign,
except if you are a U.S. licensed amateur operating in Canada, in which case
the mobile or portable designator MUST be after the callsign.
A mobile station identifying on CW with (callsign)/M6 (or whatever number)
is in violation. (If you were operating in the U.K. under CEPT privileges,
you would identify as M/(callsign).)
Having said all that, everyone does it. If it's important, we could all
write to Riley. No, I don't think it's important.

It might be worthwhile taking his IRC business elsewhere--to another post
office, that is.
A post office in Webster, TX, which is on my way to/from work I have found
is a great place to transact IRC redemptions. The ladies there are super
and recognize the fact that it's not my fault when the IRC is misstamped or
not stamped at all. Now, I'm sure if I walked in with a bundle of the 'bad'
IRC's, they would draw the line somewhere. But, as long as it's only a
half-dozen a year or so, they take them without hesitation.
As to "the postmark isn't from the country I am trying to send the card back
to," what are you doing that alerts them to that? Maybe if you simply go in
to redeem the IRC's for postage without any outgoing mail in hand, it might
work out better for you. I've never been asked where I'm sending postage
from redeemed IRC's.

SECRETS OF CONTESTING, CH. ONE
As I pass through the twi-light years of my radio contesting career, I think
it important
to reveal some of what I call "Secrets of Contesting". Perhaps others may
find them helpful. I hope so.
Although it is perhaps all to easy to take a few hundred thousand contest
QSO's for granted, one may reasonably ask, "How can you possibly demonstrate
such a keen accuracy in REMEMBERING six or more characters, sent only once,
at a very high speed, and then faithfully re-transmitting them back, and
again accurately logging them?" For me, a Contest Forum virtually cannot
pass without having to expound on just HOW I have been able to do this, with
such inordinate skill, and for so very many years. If you truly wish to
learn this secret, please read on...........
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN that the simple act of CHEWING GUM will improve your
short- and long-term memory by up to 35 percent! It is believed that the
gentle exercise of chewing may be enough to raise a person's heart rate and
increase the flow of oxygen to the brain.
Chewing may also trigger the release of insulin in the body, which could
increase the uptake of blood sugar by the brain. It is firmly believed that
it is nothing IN the gum, but rather that the act of mastication (repeat,
mastication) that is making the difference.
Simply, if you chew gum, you will observe an increase in your heart rate of
five to six beats per minute. This may be unrelated to brain function, but
on the other hand an increase in the blood delivery of oxygen to the brain
probably increases cognitive function.
Also, chewing a stick of gum probably fools the body into thinking that it
is about to get a meal, increasing insulin production. The hippocampus, the
region of the brain that deals with memory, has insulin receptors which are
involved in increasing the uptake of glucose.
It took some trial an error on my part, to be able to make SSB QSO's at a
high rate, while actively chewing, but it can be done. It was very similar
to the practice I was required to employ when I changed from sending CW with
my right hand, to my left hand, some twenty years ago, but it can be done.
So there you have it. Chewing gum helps your memory while contesting.
Please let me know how it works out for you.

Hi Tim,
I spoke with Martin Jue (Mr. MFJ himself) at Dayton a couple of years ago
and I suggested to him that MFJ sell this cable pre-assembled as an option.
He seemed very interested in doing just that, but it has not yet appeared as
a product. I haven't seen anyone else offering a commercial unit either,
although some enterprising fellow ham may offer to build you one. (I
actually would offer, but you'll wait a **LONG** time for it since free time
is incredibly scarce these days.)
I made my own right after unpacking it and running the initial tests (I'm
too impatient to wait for anything!). It's "ugly" construction with the
circuit on a small board in an Altoids case (the modern day Sucrets
container for small ham gadgets). The worst part was scrounging the 8-pin
plug for the back of the keyer. It's an oddball connector that cannot be
obtained via a quick run to Radio Shack. In the longstanding tradition of
amateur radio, I wound up butchering a connector from inside a dead modem.
It's ugly, but it works!
The MFJ-434 is a VY FB unit, but I now use it little since I got a good
computer and WriteLog. It will remain close by, though, for those times
when Murphy decides to guest op at my station!

Well I haven't been much of a gum chewer, but I did chew tobacco for the
entire weekend in most of my better efforts over the years. For every new
mult I would ding the spitoon. Nothing like a fresh can of Cope before
sitting down to a CW contest. Now, I did give up that nasty habit again
recently. It's easy to quit. I've done it a hundred times.

SECRETS OF CONTESTING, CH. ONE
As I pass through the twi-light years of my radio contesting career, I think
it important
to reveal some of what I call "Secrets of Contesting". Perhaps others may
find them helpful. I hope so.
Although it is perhaps all to easy to take a few hundred thousand contest
QSO's for granted, one may reasonably ask, "How can you possibly demonstrate
such a keen accuracy in REMEMBERING six or more characters, sent only once,
at a very high speed, and then faithfully re-transmitting them back, and
again accurately logging them?" For me, a Contest Forum virtually cannot
pass without having to expound on just HOW I have been able to do this, with
such inordinate skill, and for so very many years. If you truly wish to
learn this secret, please read on...........
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN that the simple act of CHEWING GUM will improve your
short- and long-term memory by up to 35 percent! It is believed that the
gentle exercise of chewing may be enough to raise a person's heart rate and
increase the flow of oxygen to the brain.
Chewing may also trigger the release of insulin in the body, which could
increase the uptake of blood sugar by the brain. It is firmly believed that
it is nothing IN the gum, but rather that the act of mastication (repeat,
mastication) that is making the difference.
Simply, if you chew gum, you will observe an increase in your heart rate of
five to six beats per minute. This may be unrelated to brain function, but
on the other hand an increase in the blood delivery of oxygen to the brain
probably increases cognitive function.
Also, chewing a stick of gum probably fools the body into thinking that it
is about to get a meal, increasing insulin production. The hippocampus, the
region of the brain that deals with memory, has insulin receptors which are
involved in increasing the uptake of glucose.
It took some trial an error on my part, to be able to make SSB QSO's at a
high rate, while actively chewing, but it can be done. It was very similar
to the practice I was required to employ when I changed from sending CW with
my right hand, to my left hand, some twenty years ago, but it can be done.
So there you have it. Chewing gum helps your memory while contesting.
Please let me know how it works out for you.

It is GeoClock. I have used it for 4 years. Very good. The amateur
version gives you on map centered on your geographical coordinates. There
are 40-50 other maps; various views of the world, the different continents,
medium range regional views and closeups of the various US areas.
A special edition was prepared for us to take to XZ0A in January 2000. It
was extremely useful to have all this info available to not only the low
band stations but was used extensively by the upper HF frequency stations to
determine the greyline/daylight darkness areas while operating from a
different time zone on the other side of the world.
Well worth the dollars. 73 de Milt, N5IA

Or until you replace your slow computer with
a fast one; WriteLog could not properly send

Hi Syl:
Unfortunately, for some of us, chewing gum is not a good
solution because our teeth are prone to crack and break
while chewing gum. Perhaps some other substance like
frequent food snacks could be substituted. Now, if only
I could get my XYL to go on my contest trips so she
could bring me the snacks. 73, John, K4BAI/8P9HT/8P9Z.

PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. I still can't copy the 45/50WPM Ops but when
they are calling me at reasonable speeds I usually can get most 2x3 calls
the first time when they are some what in the clear, on CW different story.
Some combinations really screw me up even when they slow down to 25 ???

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Re: I won't log /QRP
Message-ID: <20020325214556.92052.qmail@web14701.mail.yahoo.com>
This thread is just about dead, but let
me weigh in as a 99% QRP operator.
Over on the QRP-L reflector, you will find
the group there about just as divided about the
/QRP issue as you folks here. (Many of the QRP-L
folks are regulars in contests, and many
subscribe to this forum.) Some will be very
religious about the issue, on either side,
just like many people here.
You will find that most QRP operators in
*CONTESTS* will NOTsign /QRP unless maybe there
is several contests going on in the same
frequency space, as it might not be clear
from their CQ TEST DE which contest. But even
in that case most will probably not.
Where I see most the use of /QRP is not in
contests, but in DX PILEUPS. There (and I
am certainly guilty of this at times, but
not always) one is trying to stand out from
the pack, and many times than not it helps,
just like indicating /M or "mobile" helps.
The goal is to get heard, to get the contact,
and if your personal conscious allows for it,
why not? If the DX station refuses to hear you,
so be it. And if they refuse to put the /QRP in
the log, so be it. At least you will have
the main part of the call, which is all that
matters for a QSL. But once a DX station
stands by for a QRP station, realize that
the "rules" are out -- that station has
declared that they will favor one group
of stations over another. Your choice as the
DX station. Your choice as the would-be DX chaser.
Indicating mobile is not a requirement, at
least not in the US, yet how many people do
that? A very large percentage do so from
what I can tell. Why? Like with the /QRP
there are various reasons: (1) "tradition"
(or thought to be rules), (2) to stand out
in order to "invite" someone to reply,
(3) to "warn" the other users that you might
be a weak or intermittent station to work
based on changing conditions, or (4) to stand
out (as in the DX situation). A fifth
reason, pertinent to mobile only, is to alert
the other person to possibly expect a QTH or
location that is different than the home.
But let me add an interesting 5th reason
that is pertinent to QRP operators -- many
others (non-QRPers) DON'T WANT TO WORK US.
Yep! Surprised? Many QRP operators have
experienced the interesting phenomenon that
once we indicate the usual rig, antenna,
and power information in the QSO, suddenly
the other station has a reason to QRT.
Why, I don't know, especially when they just
told us we were 59 (or even 59plus). But you
would be surprised how many folks have
experienced it. By signing /QRP, the low-power
operator is essentially giving you a "warning"
that indicates that if you don't like talking
to a QRP station, then don't bother to answer
this one. Not that I do this, but I have
talked to many for which this is an issue
on both sides of the argument.
On the other hand, just as many QRP are very
proud of being a low-power operator. Signing
/QRP is a way to "proclaim" that feeling.
Like I said, over on the QRP-L list, you will
find that the QRP operators cover the full
range of amateur radio and share all types of
views on this. The only common denominator
is that they/we prefer to operate at 5 watts
or less power out to the antenna. (You will
find just as righteous a discussion over the
idea of whether a "true" QRP operator can
use a antenna other than a dipole, in other
words whether one is still QRP if you use a
gain antenna. You don't have those discussions
here, or do you? <grin>)
Just so you know, I DON'T sign /QRP in contests
(occasionally for DX, but not contests).
Cheers from Iowa.

One thing that I find a number of times is I copy ???@@@^RP. Sort of like
the end of a long call. So I try the RP go ahead. No response. QRZ.!...
&***%%%$$$#QRP. Aha think I, "the QRP go ahead". SHHHHQRP. Sorry the QRP try
again.SHHHHHHQRP. Please just call, just call !JX5shhhh5XXX! Okay JX5XXX etc
etc
It may sound like I am telling tall tales but it it would happen at least
once per contest where I copy the QRP bit fine each time given but the call
gets buried. When I ask them to leave off the QRP bit the call comes
through.
As for putting QRP on the QSL card. No way. You prove to the awards people
that you were running QRP. I have no knowledge of your power and I cannot
confirm that you were indeed running low power. I can only confrim date time
mode band and that we worked each other.
I am more than happy to work QRP stations. Their pleasure comes through,
literally sometimes. I recently worked a guy using one of these new Yaesu
radios with 5watts pedestrian mobile. We exchanged reports and his signal
was good enough for me to hear the pride and pleasure in his voice. He
didn't say it but it sounded like "a VK wow Yessssssssssss!"
I have refrained from commenting on the 300watts strong signals thread other
than to perhaps note that the comments from people who can legally run
1500watts seem a little ungenerous. Or perhaps they are scared of the
competition if the rest of the world operates on a level playing field on
power. The power hogs are known. They are all alligators - all mouth and no
ears !! They are not all, or even mainly, Italian's.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Help Me Brothers!
Message-ID: <02bf01c1d483$792a3ca0$6501a8c0@home>
With apologies in advance to any that may be offended by my profanity.
Help Me Brothers, for I am sorely tempted.
I come to you, my brothers, in my hour of need. Lend me your support, that
I may be strong and pass this aweful test. I am tempted brothers, tempted
by the devil most profane. Do not abandon me my brothers in this, my hour
of need.
I have never strayed from the path, my brothers, never in the 21 long years
of my service to the cause. My first radio, of course, was a TS-830S, and
from that point on I have stayed the course against all temptation. My
father, it must be said, allowed himself to stray. An Icom he did buy, and
sad was I for years to come. But I have been strong, and despite the
Devil's evil offers I have always been true. A pair of beautiful TS-850S's
adorn my alter today.
But I am tempted my brothers, tempted by an evil so strong that I am not
certain that I can sustain my faith against it. It comes to me in my dreams
my brothers, with images of dual receivers with separate AGC systems. It
comes to me as I walk my path in the daylight brothers. Why just today I
saw an image of the Enhanced Digital Signal Processing as I passed through
the garden. And the power my brothers, 100 watts output with either 120
volt or 13.8 volt power - all in a lighter weight package with no messy
external heat sinks.
Oh my brothers, I am sorely tempted. Help me my brothers, lest I fall from
the path.
And the price! The Price my brothers. Only $1999 this week only. Oh my
brothers, only $1999 for perhaps the finest contesting radio ever made.
Yes my brothers, it is the new FT-1000MP Mark V Field that tempts me, it
tests my strength my brothers.
Is there amongst you one, even one, who can turn me aside from this course?
Can anyone tell me that its receiver is poor, or that the IBDT system is
flawed, or that the VRF front end protection module is just marketing hype?
Can one of you save me, my brothers, from the terrible fate that lies ahead?
For it you cannot, I fear that I will fall from grace this week my brothers,
in time to use the dual RX capability on 40 meters during WPX SSB this
weekend. So if you can speak against this evil, do so now, that I may be
spared. It is not a lack of faith in my trusty TS-850S that is causing me
this pain, my brothers. No, not that. It is the terrible temptation of the
Mark V Field that comes to me - and I know not if I can stand against it.

Hi, Rick,
WA7BNM's Contest Calendar at

PSK contests--there may be more which don't have PSK in the contest name.
Check QST and CQ Magazine's contest calendars, too.
You might check this out: http://www.qsl.net/wm2u/rumble.html - it's a

Didn't see the start of this thread...but W5GN and K3PP had
traffic on the topic of Writelog not sending CW properly:
I run Writelog in an HP laptop, 700MHz Pentium III, with
absolutely no problem. CW runs fine. Voicekeyer runs fine.
All other functions work. I run Geoclock simultaneously.
Often, I have other programs running as well.
No hacks, skips or lockups in the cw seen.
Have run the same program in a 133MHz Pentium, with 128k dram.
While the human interface was a bit slow, it generated cw ok.
Soundcard died before I could test the voicekeyer.
My suspicion would be that you have another problem, unrelated
to the raw processor speed.

With respect to Father Neiger's retirement plans for his
bubble gum investment:
My wife teaches special ed children. Many have attention-deficit
issues. When it comes time for standard testing, she makes a point
of giving them (sugarless) gum to chew on. Tends to keep them in
their seats and concentrating, by providing a path for excess energy.
Test scores go up. Peggy got a kick out of Jim's description, but says
it's absolutely true.
Without engaging in speculation about our collective early-childhood
development, let me merely observe that some of us have shown difficulty
walking and chewing gum. So it naturally follows that chewing tends to
keep you in the chair!

The newspaper here had today a note about chewing gum and Amalgam. It turns
out the gum is releasing mercury from your fillings, which is not so good.
What this has to do with contesting is beyond me !

DXAID is sold by Peter Oldfield. You may contact him at
poldfield@proxymedia.net
I believe the current price is US$25 and it must be paid by mail. Best to
check with him directly. Excellent program, by the way.

I was looking through NCJ and saw great azmuthal (SP) plots with the aurora

I did web search and could not come up with any hits on the program - just
several users' plots.
Can someone point me in the right direction to find the program?

Hi Jim,
The thread began as a discussion of the MFJ-434 voice keyer, of which I own
one. I mentioned that it's a FB unit but I rarely use it now because my new
computer has essentially replaced it, using WriteLog.
W5GN mentioned that he had some problems with WL on a fast computer. I'm
not sure why he had so much trouble with it, but his was fixed when he went
back to the slower machine. I have had superior behavior from WL on my
1.1GHz Celeron computer, in all modes and functions.
My instinct tells me that a fast CPU speed should be irrelevant, but
obviously, something was awry on his faster machine. Maybe someone else
could shed light on it.

Dave,
I've SEEN you walking and chewing gum...and you're right.
The mercury amalgam is no big deal.
On the other hand, consider the poor dentist, drilling
all that amalgam! It's a wonder K3WW can sit in the
chair for a full contest, or send code at all!!
Ragnar....you're right, silly season has struck.
Young David is the former neighbor of an old friend
of mine from High School, W2REH. Dave learned to
contest by hanging out at Joe's house.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Honor Sprint?
Message-ID: <018801c1d506$df6d8020$74e6bfa8@mirage>
Hey, Sprinters! A while back I sponsored an "Honor Sprint" that ran under
the same rules as the regular North American Sprint, sponsored by the NCJ,
but without any of the formal log checking - honor-system reporting only.
It was "just for fun" and to keep the skills sharp in the long time between
February and September.
Is there any interest in running one again this May? May 12th (0000Z) looks
like a good date (although the CQ-M contest is also running that weekend)
and is the weekend before the Dayton Hamvention, so you won't be in the
doghouse for buying stuff :-) We could run for either two hours and make it
a 20/40-meter contest, or the full four hours and use 20/40/80.
Suggestions? Other options include making it earlier in the day and trying
a 10/15-meter format.

Not to bash, particularly, but isn't the trade-off for QRP to do by
technique, cunning, persistence what is usually accomplished with
power for lesser effort, particularly in contesting?
It would seem that interference problems are largely solved by staying
at low power, 100 watts, though QRP will definitely keep you off the
neighbor's radar. QRP contesters that I know do it for the challenge
of mind over watts, or because they have some deep-seated need for
self-flagellation.
That being so...
Why **NOT** point out to QRPers that zero beating the CQ-ing station
is another one of the mind-over-watt techniques that helps. And is
this not more pertinent coming from those who **LISTEN** to QRP
signals to work them?
Higher power stations get away with being off frequency by making up
with QRO what the IF filter has taken away with selectivity skirts. An
uncopiable signal dead on my frequency that matches my
sending/receiving timing will get some work to try and pull it out. If
it's up or down a bit, could just be another station elsewhere in the
world that is working someone that is loud where they are, and gets
ignored.
Not a matter of guilt, but how fine a QRPer can cut it to his own
advantage.
73, Guy.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] DL Mult Multi in CQ WPX?
Message-ID: <13.8e16540.29d36b37@aol.com>
Hello everyone,
My brother Bill, W4RM, is traveling with his family in the Berlin area now
and was wondering if there were any DL Multop stations that were going to be
on during the CQ WPX this weekend. He is a good contest op and a member of
Potomac Valley Radio Club and can help out operating if needed. He said he
would be back in Berlin this coming Friday morning and would checking his
email then for any responses. His email address is W4RM@aol.com. Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks and 73, Jack W4NF

hi - Just occurred to me to wonder if there were any Calif. multi-ops
looking for an extra body for the WPX this weekend...?
Driving a few hours to get there is no big deal.
thanks, 73, and GL to all in the 'test - jeff wk6i

Subject: [CQ-Contest] A couple of Observations
Message-ID: <004501c1d5d7$53a43580$ecdafea9@N1>
I pay close attention to the remarks made on the reflector when it pertains
to manufacturers and vendors. Most of this feedback has been given with the
best of intentions and can provide valuable data to us all in making future
decisions. With that in mind I would like to pass on a couple of recent
experiences.
#1 The Good News
I purchased a Force12 C4SXL. I was very pleased with the quick shipping and
handling of the product by the seller Texas Tower. And get this, they
actually thanked me for the business when we concluded our telephone call.
But the good news does not stop there. When I had some questions regarding
the construction and erection of the antenna, I called Force 12. Tom
Shiller took both of my calls and gave me the information I needed in a
polite and informative manner. He did not rush off to take another call or
try to brush me off but filled me in on some "extra" details that were very
helpful and clearly demonstrated to me the he and his company really cared
about their products and service. So thanks Force12.
#2 The Bad News
I had to send my IC775 off for some service. I had previously talked with
this repair shop regarding a potential problem and thought I would call him
and get his opinion on the possible repair. During that conversation he
never informed me that he was not an authorized Icom repair station. In
fact he indicated that there would be no problem in obtaining parts if
required. Certainly he sounded knowledgeable on the product. So, I sent
the unit to him with the detail of problems. Also in the note was my Visa
number so that he could charge it and return it to me without delay.
He did call about a week after receiving the product to inform me that he
could not fix one of the problems. He did not have the proper tools to do
it and for him to obtain the tools would be too expensive. He said he would
look again at the unit and maybe he could "fix it". About five days later I
received another telephone call indicating that he had fixed the main
problem but that the problem requiring additional tools could not be
repaired. I said fine send it back to me. It was then that he informed me
that he wanted payment via Pay Pal and Pay Pal only no other credit cards.
A bit miffed that a business would not be taking a bank credit card I paid
him using Pay Pal. So here are the caveats: Check to be sure that the
place where you are sending your valuable equipment is in fact an authorized
repair station for that brand. Check their payment terms in advance. If it
is not the factory repair facility, get some real references not ones posted
to a web site.

Another 2 cents worth, is it just me or is has some sort of assumption
been made that QRP operators are not experienced enough to realize about
zero beating properly?? I think most would have long ago realized that the
frequency has a lot to do with the percentage of replies.
I have operated some QRP and never seemd to have much problem from that.
In fact the percentage of answers to calls has always amazed me. QRP must
not be all that far down in the mud thanthe usual 100w signal.

If you go to jarl.or.ip/English/4_Library/A-4-3_contests/AADX.htm you will
find the results for the last five yrs. That may also get u to record
scores but didn''t pursue it. If I messed up my spelling go to SM3CER's
website and just click on web for the appropriate contest. That usually
gets you close to where you want to be.

I enjoy reading the "tips of the weak".
I think most extra effort and skill comes from the people trying to
hear QRP signals. The receiving party is the one doing the actual
work, and suffering the pain and punishment of reading weak
signals.
All contests should award significant bonus points to the stations
that copy QRP signals, rather than to the station who makes an
effort to be weak.
The present system is like horse riding. Women ride side-saddle,
while men straddle the saddle. Totally illogical.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] A couple of Observations OK OK
Message-ID: <006a01c1d670$1357ffe0$fcd943d8@N1>
Ok people....So many requested the information on the #2 situation that I
shall fill in with more information.
First however, the intent was not to bad mouth this or any other specific
shop but to emphasize the importance of asking lots of questions before you
send your $3000 or $300 radio off to ANYONE. With that said, let me state
for the record this is only my experience and the shop involved is revealed
only as additional background as to my situation.
The shop is referred to as the Radio Doctor on the web or Ham Repair and is
run by a Mr. Milton Lord in Cartersville, Georgia. Based on my experiences
with this shop I would not recommend them for ICOM repair and would check
carefully on any others.

I have found a home for the WPX. I will be opping

family activities) WR3L will be on Sat - Sun but
I'll not be doing the entire time.
Thanks to those who email'ed and offered spots.

The awarding of "bonus points" for working Novice or Technician
contestants in the ARRL 10 meter contest is consistant with this
premis: the station taking the extra time and effort to work a
station sending and receiving substantially more slowly than the
average station should be rewarded. To the extent you need extra
fills to complete the QSO with the QRP station, you deserve
extra points for that achievement. This is especially true
in Serial Number contests, such as Sweepstakes, where only the
RECEIVING station is the one penalized for communications problems.
Communications should be a two way street.

As the editor that added the Tip of the Week regarding QRP and zero beat,
let me add my two cents worth...
I do find more QRP stations have a different offset than the usual 800 Hz
so-called "standard". If you are running a YaeKenCom box turned down to QRP
(as I do), they are all pretty much identical as far as offset goes, and so
is TenTec, but there sure seems to be a lot of variation between the smaller
manufacturers. I don't know about Elecraft yet. QRPers are also much more
likely to be operating homebrew rigs or separate receivers and transmitters,
making the issue important.
I didn't put the tip in there as a knock on QRPers, but to point out that
being on-frequency is MUCH more critical in big contests than in casual
operating.
On a similar note, I find that on 20-15-10, Europeans tend to call a couple
hundred Hertz higher than NA and JA stations. Anybody else notice this?
Any opinions?

Ok people....So many requested the information on the #2 situation that I
shall fill in with more information.
First however, the intent was not to bad mouth this or any other specific
shop but to emphasize the importance of asking lots of questions before you
send your $3000 or $300 radio off to ANYONE. With that said, let me state
for the record this is only my experience and the shop involved is revealed
only as additional background as to my situation.
The shop is referred to as the Radio Doctor on the web or Ham Repair and is
run by a Mr. Milton Lord N4DA in Cartersville, Georgia. Based on my
experiences
with this shop I would not recommend them for ICOM repair and would check
carefully on any others.

FYI and for what it's worth department:
I am a little pistol using the Ameritron AL-811H amplifier. The power switch
recently failed. This a little el-cheapo lighted rocker switch made by Carling
and probably other manufacturers. I called Ameritron and talked to a tech
support type. He stated he would mail me a new switch, but I would have to pay
the $7.00 minimum plus UPS charges. He said the switch was less than 2 bux.
What the heck I wanted to get back on the air. A week later UPS delivers a
plain jane rocker switch, no light. This cost me just under $10.00 with the UPS
fee. Called the tech support person back and he said no mistake, that is what
they use now, probably because they could not get the lighted one anymore. I
said something like, "unbelievable" and hung up.
The only indication you have that the amp is turned on are the meter lights,
which failed awhile back, and the power switch. I replaced the meter lamps
with a higher quality lamp from the local surplus store.
The good news: A friend relayed to me that Astron, who uses the same identical
switch, replaced his broken power supply switch free of charge, no questions
asked. I called Astron. The only question the Astron parts lady asked was for
my address. When I asked the charge, she said "none." Here is a company who
likes to keep customers happy.

The hard and fast rule in the TV News business

ARISS/Oregon School spot is scheduled to air on the
Saturday program. (In most markets in the East time

Mountain and Pacific 5-530-6-or-630p, depending on the

I hope you find the broadcast on a channel near you!
Incidentally, the spot is about 2-minutes in length.

Ward, I have noticed this. Perhaps it's just the fact that we work tons of
EU in DX contests here on the east coast and there's thus a noticeable
number of EU stations not zero beat. One thing I do know is that I will
preferentially answer the station that is zb (unless I hear a juicy mult
off-freq).
The problem with the off-freq callers is that they could be on-freq callers
to another station (who I don't hear on 10-15-20) and they're not really
working me! Timing too easily can be right for this to happen.
Of course if I happen to have the 250Hz pair of Inrads cut in, I don't
really hear 'em. OK as long as the stack of stations is still there...

As to how often QRP stations have reasonable signals... quite often
really. Also the antenna system on my end is significant help. If a
QRPer has cleaned up his antennas to maximize what his 5 watts
accomplishes, it's quite likely that I will hear him and copy first
time no troubles.
That said, LOTS of answers to CQ's are off frequency. QRPers and guys
running KW alike.
I really don't know why. I only know that it is a lot harder on the
QRP than the QRO.

***************
The ARRL Letter
Vol. 21, No. 13
Mar 29, 2002
***************
==>DENNIS MOTSCHENBACHER, K7BV, TO JOIN ARRL HEADQUARTERS STAFF
Noted contester and DXpeditioner Dennis Motschenbacher, K7BV, will join
the ARRL Headquarters staff April 1 as sales and marketing manager. In
that role, he'll oversee ARRL's publication and advertising sales as
well as membership recruitment activities.
"We're pleased to have someone with Dennis's Amateur Radio and
professional experience and international stature to take on this
critical management role," said ARRL Chief Operating Officer Mark
Wilson, K1RO. "We expect that he will be a major asset in helping the
ARRL to meet its goals for the future."
An ARRL Life Member and a Minnesota native, Motschenbacher, 54, has been
licensed since 1962 and is no stranger to the ARRL family. For the past
four years, he has been the editor of National Contest Journal,
published by ARRL. Carl Luetzelschwab, K9LA, is replacing K7BV as NCJ
editor starting with the May/June issue.
Motschenbacher told his NCJ readers in his farewell editorial that he
considers the opportunity to work at ARRL Headquarters a dream come
true. "I feel like a kid who has just been granted his fondest wish," he
said. In addition to serving at the NCJ helm, Motschenbacher has been
actively involved in the fundraising and promotion for World Radiosport
Team Championship 2002 (WRTC 2002) and will be a referee at the event in
Finland this summer. In WRTC 2000, he teamed with Ralph Bellas, K9ZO, at
S566Z in Slovenia. He's also operated from various exotic locales.
Moving to the East Coast from Nevada, he says, will rejuvenate Amateur
Radio for him. He and his wife Lieska have arranged to purchase a house
in Eastern Connecticut that has a convenient hill on the property, and
he's already got a permit from the town to erect an 80-foot tower. Four
towers and associated antennas are being transported from Nevada as
well. Motschenbacher says he's never operated from the East Coast--with
the sole exception of the CY9AA DXpedition--and he's eager to experience
propagation from his new location. One down side, he noted, is that
Nevada is a lot more rare as an ARRL section multiplier than
Connecticut.
On the professional side, Motschenbacher brings 30 years of sales,
marketing and business experience to ARRL HQ, primarily in the fire
protection and safety business. Most recently he was president and co
owner of ESG Inc of Reno, which specializes in fire protection systems
for the telecommunications industry worldwide. He says he's eager to put
his sales acumen and entrepreneurial spirit to work on behalf of the
ARRL and Amateur Radio. "I view it as a very strong personal
responsibility to help see Amateur Radio into the future," he said.

The WPX has a 10 minute band change rule for Mutli-One. How is the
ten minute period determined?
1. Is it based on 6 different 10 minute periods in the hour (i.e.
minute 0..9, 10..19, 20..29, etc)
2. is it based on a any contiguous 10 minutes.
If the RUN station is currently working on 20m and makes a series of
contacts while the MULTIPLIER station is working on 40m, when can
the RUN station switch to 15m?
For example, if the last contact of the RUN station was at 8:30 on
20m and the last contact of the MULTIPLIER station was at 8:35, when
could the RUN station switch to 15m - at 8:40 or 8:45?

I have recently had some good experiences with the Ameritron customer
support group.
A couple of months ago I bought a second Ameritron AL1500 amplifier. After
installing the tube and power transformer (packaged separately), it came up
and worked fine. However I noticed one oddity about the new amplifier. On
40, 80, and 160 meters the loading control would be at zero (maximum
capacity for the loading capacitor). My older AL1500 used less capacity for
loading on the three low bands but it was close to the same settings for
10, 15, and 20 meters.
I called the Ameritron Customer Support and described my problem to them
and they said that the newer AL1500 models switched in less loading
capacity then the older models. However, the load control should not end up
at zero for the three low bands in spite of that and the newer AL1500
manual agreed with what they said. The amplifier was certainly usable but I
wasn't happy with what I perceived as not enough plate loading capacity as
normal.
The customer support guy walked me through some checks with my capacity
meter to see if any of the fixed caps were bad. But we just couldn't find
anything wrong. After what I thought was a reasonable effort on my part to
isolate the problem I finally said, "I think you should just send me a new
RF deck". They agreed to do this without any argument whatsoever. A few
days later the new RF deck arrived and it worked according to the
specifications in the AL1500 manual. Ameritron also sent me a UPS sticker
for me to return the old RF deck at no cost to me. I see this as good
customer service.
Another Ameritron story:
Soon after replacing my AL1500 a friend brought over an AL1200 that had a
problem. I thought since I had just been digging into my Ameritron amp, I
was on a roll and could help my friend fix his. We found a single bad
capacitor in his power supply bank of 8 capacitors. After determining the
part number of the capacitor, we ordered the part from Ameritron.
However, the part arrived and the new capacitor was physically shorter, had
more capacity, but had the same working voltage. When I called Ameritron
back to ask about it they said, "you must have an older AL1200 because we
can't get those capacitors anymore. We now use the newer capacitors that
are really better anyway."
Since I couldn't use one capacitor that was of different value in the power
supply, I priced seven more capacitors and I priced the entire capacitor
assembly (includes eight capacitors, bleeders, circuit board, and other
components). The entire assemble was actually cheaper then buying seven
more capacitors. When I ordered the capacitor assembly I asked if they
would leave one capacitor off the assembly and credit me for what I paid
for the first capacitor I ordered. They were happy to do this and I was
very satisfied with their help.
The only minor criticism I might have is that it would be helpful for
Ameritron to ask for serial numbers of amplifiers when taking parts orders.
This might allow them to identify part changes in the amplifiers and make
sure their customers get the right parts the first time they call.
Over all, I am extremely satisfied with Ameritron Custom Service.

Gary,
Your answer doesn't explain why a lot of Europeans tend to call *HIGHER*
than zero beat, which was Ward's original observation. The fact that
East Coast stations tend to work a lot of EU does explain why many East
Coasters (as well as others) notice a large number of European off
frequency callers, but it doesn't explain why more Europeans seem to
call higher rather than lower.

I was wondering if there is a different convention for offset standards.
We're all pretty much using the same radios but it seems unlikely that they
are pre-configured by the manufacturer to use different offsets based on the
target market. It's not much of a difference - maybe 200 Hz - but I find
myself leaving the RIT "up a little" when EU stations are answering my CQs.
How about it, EU guys? Is the converse true - that you have to listen a
little lower in frequency when running USA?

A mild (fairly slow velocity) interplanetary shock was observed passing
the ACE spacecraft near 21:42 UTC (4:42 pm EST) on 29 March. The source is
not clear at the present time, but may be related to a coronal hole based
disturbance. More will be known over the ensuing hours as the
characteristics of this disturbance become better established. In any event,
there is an increased potential for periods of enhanced auroral activity
over the next 24 hours. Middle latitude observers should be alert for
periods of favorable conditions. Odds are against significant middle
latitude observations of activity due to the near-full phase of the moon.

Message-ID: <000a01c1d810$520acb40$16621dc3@default>
Perhaps I am a bit late for the discussion on Italian kilowwats, but I just
couldn't resist it...
Few years ago I travelled to Italy on busisness and paid a visit to a ham whom
I knew for ages from a band. I was kind od surprised to find him in a workshop
where, among other ham stuff, there was something called HF PA, size of a
decent refridgerator, very carefully manufactured and good looking. I
understood it was predicted to deliver 20 kW out (you read it right) and Henry
2K was used as a driver. Bird 43 with 25 kW (right again) probe was used as a
wattmeter. Dummy load was water-cooled. You actually had to tap the water from
the pipelines, hi... If I remember well, the tube was YU134, size larger than
my head...
There was another small amplifier with 3CX6000, some 8 kW out...
Your mouth are watering? Come on, admit it... never thought of using one of
these babies in a contest, ha?
Yes, I have seen these two amplifiers by my own eyes and purpose for writing
this is not to point out Italian hams as the only superpower users. You can
find them in almost every country in the world. Many of those high scores are
results of extreme powers combined with good antennas and operator skills. In
my country I know for at least two amplifiers with 3CX3000 (two, ha ha ha...).
Some S5 guys proudly talked about their big amps. There are also many others to
whome I hav not spoken , but who could say the same.
Thing is, it is hard to compete in any WW contest due to differences in
regulation among countries. In USA it is 1500 W out, in UK 400W, in Italy 300W
etc. If classification would be on country basis, perhaps people would stick to
the rules ( I do not believe this...). Then, what about dxing... Plus, it is
much easier to build a strong linear than plant a high tower and long boom
yagis...
It is very difficult to trace the use of excessive power, strong signal is not
the only relevant pointer. That makes it much easier to use.
Henry 5K? Henry 8K???? Whom were they dedicated to? Power savers? Tube lovers?
Yeah, forgot to tell you that heating transformer for YU134 was some heavy
thing and wires size of my thumb (180A, right?).
Italy is a beautiful country of nice people, nature, art and of course
kilowats. What I mean is - do not press it too hard on Italy, you can find
extra power next door. Trick is how many of No 1 contesters would let you in
their bedrooms? Sorry, shacks... I bet there you could find lot of active
tuners, coaxial cables with positive losses and dipoles with 10dBi gain...
Be better, power is not all.

I notice that on CW when I start hearing a lot of guys calling me offset in
one direction or the other, it is usually because the QRM is heavier on the
other side. I usually operate LSB CW, which means that I am more likely to
get close to another running station that is down in both my carrier
rejection filter notch and near zero beat, where my audio response rolls
off. But when I do that, it tends to lead to stations calling me lower in
frequency, not higher.
Maybe the calling stations are tending to put the QRM in their "carrier
notch", and if they are using USB CW then that would tend to make them call
on a higher frequency? Just wondering out loud.

Who says that the filters and shift as we in the U.S. see it (700-800 Hz) is

especially among foreign domestic radios? Could it be a design thing since
there may still be many homebrew transceivers over there...?

I just got back from a surprisingly enjoyable (due to lack of QRN and

on Sunday (DARN!) but at least I helped the cause and gave a few WR3 mults to

Anyway! Since a previous guy mentioned Popkin-grams, I thought this might be
of
interest. I noted, early on in the contest, that W2CC spotted OD5/OK1MU at
21448 (I
believe) and made the comment that 'I'm licking my stamps! ;-)'
I have to wonder.. given the history he has.. was he doing it to WARN us NOT to
work the
guy cuz of the proximity to the upper band edge OR was he telling us about the
mult so
we WOULD work the guy and he could then enjoy sending out another boatload of
'grams? I
don't know.
If you were one of then many that worked the OD1 then you may just be graced by
a
Popkin-Gram! If so.. fret not. Frame it and consider it as your membership card
to an
elite group. I don't know what rights and perogatives you can acquire from
having one..
but they are unique, none the less! :-)
Anyway.. sure heard a lot of familiar calls from this reflector on the air and

Message-ID: <004501c1d894$141403e0$1d1145cf@default>
I was testing my station set ups in the SSB WPX contest and ran into a
potential problem on 40 SSB. This was due to split band operation
required for the Dx to work USA and the unusual band conditions that made
the signals come in from several directions (almost no front to back and
broad signal path). I checked during the day on stations 1000 miles away
and the pattern was still sharp and the beam showed 10 to 15 DB Front to
back. I find that this condition always seems to occur when a magnetic
storm is brewing.
The DX stations were having a hard time deciding who was working who! I
usually stuck in the call of the station first so to cut down any confusion
but two stations who I had not worked said Worked B4 one of whom was D44TD.
If I had been serious this could have been points taken off at both ends for
NIL which usually means penalties. Besides stepping on any number of
existing QSOs (domestic USA) this is a problem with split operation.
I also noted that the was some attempts at jamming by the run over domestic
stations (such as putting SSTV signals on a Dx listening frequency). This
was mostly a waste of time as Contesters usually had much stronger signals
than the domestic rag chewers but I wonder if the FCC telephones were
ringing with interference reports. The other problem I noted was the vast
number of Dx stations below 7040. Several were as low as 7025 working the
SSB contest. This is one time when Digital and CW are QRMed out between
7045 and 7100. Boy the 2003 WRC Conference can't come fast enough if we can
get a 300 khz world wide ham band.

Classic 33 is a good antenna 3 elements on 18 Foot boom,
unlike some of the other Mosleys
the spacing is Director to Driven element 10 Feet
DE to Reflector is 8 Feet.
the Radiator is the longest element when set for CW.

Hi All,
Could someone tell me in the WPX ,is it against the rules and/or spirit of
the contest to look for contacts outside
of an area.I heard a Z3 station calling 'cq contest outside Europe'
I thought it strange when everybody can work everybody..................Oh
NO ! am I becoming a policeman !!!

it doesn't matter at all, not one tiny bit, if we like to use different
receive tones.
As long as the transmitter is properly netted to the receiver in
EACH station, they will be on the same frequency when transceive
no matter what pitch each station operator uses.
The only problem is some radios don't net the transmitter to the
receiver, or the user changes pitch by fiddling with passband tuning
without getting inside the radio to change the carrier oscillator
offset to match.
The FT1000 has a set of switches for offset, so when you set the
switches to 500Hz (or whatever) for your favorite tone the
transmitter comes out right spot on.
My old 751A's have an internal adjustment.
Ten Tec radios are particularly bad about this, because if you buy a
"low pitch" CW filter the transmitter offset remains fixed for the
higher frequency CW tone design.

Wow. This cq-contest club is almost as great as the Boring Amateur Radio
Club (but not quite). I asked an antenna question and got a whole bunch of
answers.
Some said the Driven Element was closer to the Director, some said is was
closer to the Reflector. Some said the Classic was the same as a TA-33.
Others said it was not.
Anyways, Tom Tormina, always a very productive resource, faxed me the manual
(although he was not the ONLY person to offer to do so). I now have the
answer. But I got to thinking about Tom and realized he was one of those
operators with Italian surnames who won the SS in the 70s and got cited
statistically for his efforts. Then I remembered that all Italian run big
power, and then it all began to make sense.
:) JUST KIDDING. Happy Easter everybody, and thanks for responding to my
question. Now I can minimize the back-to-front ratio of this old antenna
BEFORE I put it up.

I don't recall the call offhand now, but there was a DX station Friday night
operating on 14.348.5. I called him from 14.346.9 -- I double checked
this -- used the RIT to zero beat him. If I get another Popkin-gram, then
I'll know he's listening to the stations the DX is calling, not to the
carrier frequency I'm generating. 'nuff said.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Popkin-Grams lurk!
I just got back from a surprisingly enjoyable (due to lack of QRN and
accompanying brain
fuzz) session on 15/10M! Due to family acitvities , I'll not be able to
finish the WPX
on Sunday (DARN!) but at least I helped the cause and gave a few WR3 mults
to the
group!
Anyway! Since a previous guy mentioned Popkin-grams, I thought this might
be of
interest. I noted, early on in the contest, that W2CC spotted OD5/OK1MU at
21448 (I
believe) and made the comment that 'I'm licking my stamps! ;-)'
I have to wonder.. given the history he has.. was he doing it to WARN us NOT
to work the
guy cuz of the proximity to the upper band edge OR was he telling us about
the mult so
we WOULD work the guy and he could then enjoy sending out another boatload
of 'grams? I
don't know.
If you were one of then many that worked the OD1 then you may just be graced
by a
Popkin-Gram! If so.. fret not. Frame it and consider it as your membership
card to an
elite group. I don't know what rights and perogatives you can acquire from
having one..
but they are unique, none the less! :-)
Anyway.. sure heard a lot of familiar calls from this reflector on the air
and worked
abuch from WR3L. Great to hear you all!

If he doesn't want to work anyone else, then don't work him! I say it's
his loss.
I'd work anybody, anywhere except I have a virus of some sort and can't
talk. I tried making some QSO's in the contest but it was useless.
CU in the CW part for sure!

Hi Ward,
It is the first time I hear about this offset, usually everybody is
tuning and listening on zerobeat. ( at least here in europe...)
Then transmit- and receivefrequency is the same on any transceiver.
Probably you like to hear the higher pitched audio, in that case probably
an audio-filter / equalizer is helpful for you

I've always thought this was just my problem of some DX stations calling off
freq. I find that JA's tend to call a bit on the low side, SSB or CW , We
don't normally hear enough EU on 10 M where I tend to operate to notice.
