Just downloaded CT 8.49. It handles the /MM QSOs a little better (awarding
QSO and Zone credit, but not country credit) for all but USA callsigns /MM
(for example AA5DX/MM and KB7IMU/MM are still awarded zero QSO points).
Anyone know a work-around (short of editing the logs with a text editor)???

I had a problem with some of the sectors on the hard disk being
rewritten with FF's. This was either the result of the disk getting
full, or a power glitch (I had several one second black outs). Next
time I will use a lap top with battery and plenty of hard disk space.
This problem resulted in the loss of about 50 QSOs and a unknown
number of mults.
First hour on 20 was 248 QSOs.
Antennas: 160 - Half wave slopers from 220 ft tower
80 - Four element write quads pointing 4 different directions
40 - Four element KLM at 180 feet.
20 - Six element KLM at 180 feet.
15 - Six element KLM at 180 feet.
10 - Six element KLM at 180 feet and another at 100 feet (fixed).
Rigs: TS-930S, Henry 3-K, TL-922A
Off time: 50 minutes (0810-0900 second day) + 10 minutes when disk crashed.
Many thanks to all of you who gave me QSOs. QSLs will be sent to everyone
via bureau sometime next year. If you are in a hurry, and SASE to N6TR
will work.

Thanks all for the replies on my cq'ing question. Many good replies. Seems the
best is ask the other end what it sounds like. Also if you don't have a
reply, move. I will put the advice to use next weekent.

This station is firmly in the David catagory!!
Conditions on the Low Bands seemed to have been fairly good, but 10m
was a wash-out. After the SSB leg, there was a bit of soul-searching
done to find out what had gone wrong. We managed to get a few things
right for CW notably our mult station worked better than before.
Most of the mults on 10m were DX to South America, and our log shows
some shocking misses on 10m including most of the "always get"
European countries.
We noticed a lack of propagation to the states. We normally
manage to work high numbers of W's but not this time.
Our team had 2 operators new to the keyboard (not many left now?),
so some hours we done 60 when we should have being doing 120 qso/hr.
We managed more mults than ever before with high zone totals on
20/15.
CT network worked flawlessy for the first time. We usually
have a few qso's lost between the two computers, but not this
time....
Next big one for us is the ARRL DX...Roll on Feb!
Is there any other European contesters on this reflector??
We would love to know how we got on, and maybe swop
rate sheets etc....spot the openings we missed???

Given the conditions of last weekends, it almost seems that there were two
separate contests! The continent breakdowns from the East are predominantly
EU...compare mine for 15m:
Continent Statistics
W6QHS Single Operator 28 Nov 1993 2359z
160 80 40 20 15 10 ALL percent
North America 0 0 0 0 95 0 95 12.5
South America 0 0 0 0 35 0 35 4.6

Africa 0 0 0 0 18 0 18 2.4
Oceania 0 0 0 0 39 0 39 5.1
Station is (2)x950/Alpha 87, ants 6 el/45' boom, 155BA, TH7 with enough
physical separation to S&P while CQing, so I don't think I missed too
many EU. It was frustrating to hear folks running SP's, HA's, UA's etc.
around 1300z without even a whisper of signal from the other end getting
through to W6...on the other hand, I worked the usual QRP 1 watt JA's,
but it doesn't make up the difference.
Nah, I don't care about equalization, just thought you'd be interested...
