Sorry I missed you Alejandro, I had some very big pile ups on 15m, It made me
feel like a DX station at times. I struggle to get a decode when there is lots
of stations calling, I guess everyone does,
Two items that bugged me during the contest when I was runnig were
1. Stations calling very much off my freq, I use a Icom 756 pro2 in FSK/RTTY
mode, with the filter at 250hz and some stations were over 100hz off from me.
It was a constant job adjusting the RIT to tune in some stations.
2. When 2 or 3 stations call, I would stack there calls in N1MM so that once I
finished with the 1st I would go WXXX TU NOW KXXX ur 599 XXXX XXXX and so on,
but the amount of times the 2nd station didn't respond, I guess EI2 was not
rare enough to hang around 20 seconds for,
I had no problems with QRM as the Filters are very sharp on the Pro. Have to
say that N1MM is a great tool this was my 2nd big contest with it and I have
still a lot to learn but I can't see myself ever trying to do ASFK again.
Thanks

Hello Trevor
Well, I have a macro who checks the call against the current contest log, if it
is a dupe sends Call QSO B4 XE1EE QRZ, if not just sends the serial number and
I keep going, I never work dupes.
By the way.. you where here 5/9 (on 15 meters) and never heard me :( and I was
running 300 watts.
Here's the macro I use (on Writelog)
%R%C %BQSO B4%RXE1EE QRZ%E%B 599 %N3 %N3%E
73!
