[HCRA] Upcoming NEQP Contest this weekend

Sun, 28 Apr 2002 22:56:01 -0400

Greetings!

I'm glad to see that K1EA has made CT available for the NEQP, but it does not appear to
want to log anything but SSB contacts. I've used CT for years, but I'm unaware of any way
to change logging mode on the fly--you pick CW, SSB or Mixed during setup. In this case,
even selecting CW during setup mode does not enable any of the CW functions or log CW
contacts.

I'm planning to head to Maine to visit family, and I'll be running counties from there (and
possibly other states) as a rover. Any advice on making CT work for this event on CW would
be most helpful. (Don't worry--I'll have a microphone along.)

BTW, if you view the CT dat files, you'll see that the program utilizes a set of county
abbreviations for each of the six states that you must use while logging for NEQP using CT.
For example, Hampden County, Massachusetts, is HMDM. Hampshire County is HMPM. So, you have
to be careful.

Thanks and CU in the NEQP!
