From mark.j.schreiner at gmail.com Thu Oct 2 13:29:38 2014 From: mark.j.schreiner at gmail.com (Mark Schreiner) Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2014 13:29:38 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] Multiplier for Ontario & CA QSO Party Message-ID: A couple of years ago the Canadian version of the ARRL, the CRRL, subdivided Ontario into four separate sections. They are designated as: ONE: Ontario East ONW: Ontario West ONN: Ontario North GTA: Greater Toronto Area Note that the PA QSO Party (as well as at least the CA QSO Party which is this weekend) still use only the single designator of ON for this and not the four separate sections as listed above. More information about the four separate sections (which *does not apply* to the PA QSO Party) can be found here: http://www.arrl.org/news/rac-announces-new-ontario-section-boundaries-abbreviations Again, note that the four separate sections do not apply to either the PA or CA QSO Parties. Only ON applies (per the 2014 rules). I just wanted to point this out to those who are familiar with the ARRL November Sweepstakes contest and other contests that have been using the new sections. Also, speaking of the CA QSO Party, which is this weekend, it might be good to warm up the radios and antennas and make a few contacts with our friends across the country. At the same time put in a plug for the PA QSO Party because as much as they would appreciate a QSO from any and all of us this weekend we would appreciate the QSOs the following weekend in return!

But the more I looked, there was no consistency at all. Even ARRL contests had separate different section names for Canada. So my rationale is to wait until some consistency is achieved, otherwise it will be just one more different section accounting in a forest of inconsistent section accountings. - 73 Mike N3LI - On Oct 2, 2014, at 1:29 PM, Mark Schreiner wrote: > A couple of years ago the Canadian version of the ARRL, the CRRL, > subdivided Ontario into four separate sections.

From paqso at mailman.qth.net Sat Oct 4 20:09:57 2014 From: paqso at mailman.qth.net (TwelveVDC--- via PaQSO) Date: Sat, 4 Oct 2014 20:09:57 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] Historic QCWA Event Next Weekend Message-ID: <0DCF5677-D121-44C6-912A-D5A40569B8D6@aol.com> Nearly 2 years in the making, an On-The-Air event of gargantuan proportions will take place next weekend, Saturday and Sunday October 11 & 12. Please bear with me as I explain its great significance to the Quarter Century Wireless Association. The annual Pennsylvania QSO Party is one of the largest, best organized. and most prestigious state Party's there is. QCWA Chapter 17 (Allentown - Bethlehem) has been chosen to be the Party's Special Event Bonus Station for 2014, and boy oh boy, are we celebrating in Grand Style! First, Chapter 17 just celebrated its 50th Year of Charter, and we are recognizing our outgrowth Sister Chapter's 224 Wyoming Valley's very own 1st anniversary! Our immediate Past President, Ray Bilger, W3TDF just turned 90 years old this June and celebrated by erecting and climbing a 30' tower with a tribander on Field Day at the local Club's site and later with his 6 kids, 20 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and 4 great-great-grandchildren! Affectionately called, "The Grump," two years ago Ray decided to get active on EME Moonbounce and has a few dozen countries in the bag. Ray's contesting exploits are positively legendary. He holds or has held more PAQSO records than anyone. Chapter 17 is honored to employ "The Grump's" call, W3TDF as the Official Callsign of the Special Event Bonus Station for the entire weekend. Operating from 10 separate Pennsylvania Counties, (each sporting a different county abbreviation suffix) every contact on any mode with any of the 10 designated W3TDF stations is each worth 200 extra bonus points, (as opposed to 1 pt per phone contact, and 2 pts per CW or digital with other contestants, on every single band from 160-2m.) There's more... 100 years ago in 1914, one of QCWA'S most colorful Founders, talented illustrator and budding cartoonist Otto Eppers, W2EA left Brooklyn and settled in Clearfield, PA. He made a meager living shining shoes in the basement barbershop of the very swanky 120 room Dimeling Hotel in bustling downtown Clearfield. After a brief WWI hitch with the Army Signal Corp, Eppers returned to Clearfield to marry and raise a family while saving for formal instruction and hoping to be discovered as a talented artist. In the 1920s and 30s, he maintained a ham radio apparatus from the barbershop, (W8DIK) and is credited with saving lives and property by broadcasting the location of approaching floods during a great storm in 1936 to local residents listening on their receivers from observations made from the roof of the 7-story building. http://www.arrl.org/otto-eppers-making-waves Chapter 17 has secured special permission from the current owners to honor Eppers' centennial presence this weekend only, with an Amateur Radio station performing as a PAQSO Bonus Station from the roof of the Dimeling Hotel. Built in 1904, it is today a private adult residence, and is on the National Historic Register. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimeling_Hotel Negotiating permission from the principals was a spectacularly uncertain achievement. With no familiarity of Amateur Radio, and no desire for publicity, our proposal was not met with enthusiasm until we shared the story of Eppers. Deeply proud of the landmarks history, we confirmed for the staff what were held as rumors; the existence of the Barbershop, the shoeshine consortium, and the taxi stand. My Co-chair for this event, Mark / NK8Q and I were given unrestricted access to find and show proof of the department services, and we discovered them deep in the basement's bowels of what is today a windowless maintenance shop that has an exclusive stairwell leading directly from the street level exterior. The Callsign of this particular Bonus Station will be, "W3TDF/CLE." ONLY contacts made with W3TDF/CLE and are righteously logged will qualify for a specially recreated QSL Card to commemorate the event, with an appropriate nod to both "The Grump," and 1947 QCWA Founder Otto Eppers at the Dimeling Hotel. **Send qualifying cards strictly with a SASE direct to NL7XM by Dec. 15.** A green stamp to offset printing and conditionally purchased liability insurance costs to arrange this production would be most welcome. Cards will not be printed and mailed until after the deadline establishes how many are required. The contest begins on Saturday at 1600 UTC and runs until 0500 UTC, starting again on Sunday morning at 1300 UTC and wrapping up at 2200 UTC. I will spot the frequency here on the Members forum once we are on the air. This is truly a "once-in-our-lifetime" event. Be a part of history and work us next weekend. 47, Pete "The Greek" / NL7XM National Director QCWA, and Mark / NK8Q Co Chairs for the 2014 PAQSO Special Event Bonus Station From kb3orr at comcast.net Sun Oct 5 07:02:16 2014 From: kb3orr at comcast.net (kb3orr at comcast.net) Date: Sun, 5 Oct 2014 07:02:16 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] MER In-Reply-To: <02e401cfced6$add53cb0$097fb610$@comcast.net> References: <02e401cfced6$add53cb0$097fb610$@comcast.net> Message-ID: <0adb01cfe08b$d3bb7ef0$7b327cd0$@comcast.net> We are most likely operating as W3WGM Multi-Multi.

In the last VHF contest, I used?omni mobile antennas to make contacts with strong signals en route between locations where I raised beams to make longer distance contacts. If I use the same pattern in the PA contest, doing some S&P while driving, then stopping to assemble the vertical, I'm not sure of my entry category. Rule 10.d defining "rover" is pretty clear that "Rovers do not operate as a mobile en route between stations." But rule 10.c defining "mobile" says "The antenna must be of a type generally accepted as a mobile antenna", which implies that using a non-mobile antenna like my elevated vertical would not be allowed. I think I should enter as a mobile if I do make contacts between antenna assembly points, but I'm not sure. What is the intention of separate rover and mobile categories anyway??I noticed that the top scores in the 3 rover/mobile divisions in 2013 were very close, and there were only 9 total entries in the 3 divisions.??3) After I get to the county operating location and assemble the antenna, what's considered the best operating practice for rovers? I'm theorizing that it's best to immediately find an open spot on a band and start calling CQ, to give other stations the opportunity to find and work a rare county ... but I don't know if that's best for working as many stations as possible given my short window of operating at each location.??4) Similarly, what's the best practice for finding the best band to start calling CQ? Should I just quickly listen for the band with the most Party activity, and find an open spot? I see there are suggested times for high bands,?but unfortunately I don't know code yet (forgive me), so the CW part of the schedule doesn't help.

From paqso at mailman.qth.net Mon Oct 6 17:13:50 2014 From: paqso at mailman.qth.net (Jimk8mr--- via PaQSO) Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2014 17:13:50 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] rover questions Message-ID: Hi Pete, Welcome to the world of HF contesting (and VHF contesting as well) ! HF roving is a lot different from VHF roving. 1. Height doesn't matter much in HF roving, so long as you aren't down in some deep valley. So look for parking lots, roadside rest areas, etc. Do pay attention to power line noise, which you'll want to avoid. And of course don't put up your vertical near power lines! 2. The PAQP does have a rule that rovers aren't allowed to make contacts while moving. While I personally disagree with it, it is not my contest (that one is the Ohio QSO Party!). They have allowed both mobile and rover entries by the same team, the former for the QSOs from stopped locations, the later for those while moving (or at least able to be moving the vehicle). I've done that, using different callsigns to avoid confusion. (I would not expect anybody to distinguish K8MR/M from K8MR/R). 3. For best results in any contest try to CQ as much as you can so long as you are working people. You will want to search and pounce if CQing isn't producing, or to do a quick scan for good multipliers. 4. Pick the band with the most activity. Most of the time that will be 40 meters. Do try the higher bands, both as a courtesy to out of state ops, and to increase your multiplier total. 5. CQing on the higher bands is difficult. Your signal is not loud, and it may be difficult to hear other stations within your skip zone, that will often be louder than you elsewhere. 6. Sometimes mobiles and rovers exchange phone numbers, more to ensure that all counties get covered, in case problems arise. In general use of telephones, etc., to arrange QSOs if frowned upon. I don't know what the official position of the PAQP organizers may be on this subject. Have fun. I'm intending to be doing a one day roving and mobile effort in WPA, details not yet known pending weather forecasts, etc. 73 - Jim K8MR Also known to show up in PAQP as W3USA/M or R.

He is one of the Big Guns of mobile and rover contesting. I'll add a few things that I have learned over time: 1. Pay attention to how you get 12 volts from your car. If you use a cigarette lighter for power, it or the plug will fail when you start making lots of contacts over a long period of time. Even the solder in 3AG fuses will melt. I come directly off the battery with a heavy duty fuse holder and a large size fuse. There are no other fuses in the 12 volt power cord to fail. 2. Pay attention to any noise coming out of the power supply for your laptop. If you have a laptop that runs on 12 volts, you are in good shape. My laptop requires 18 volts so I have to use a converter. I tried a lot of them before I found one (and a spare) that were quiet. 3. As far as locations, I've found that being out in the open is more important than being high. On Saturday's I like church parking lots as they are usually empty and most have a single big tree when I can hang my inverted Vee's if I'm doing a rover operation. On Sunday's I avoid church parking lots and use other locations. I always avoid being near a bank. After dark I like a space near the edge of a Walmart parking lot so I can park under a light. 4. I've found that for a successful solo mobile or rover operation, you need to spend a lot of time mapping out a short route that lets you cover a lot of counties with very little driving. Using Google Maps I can do a satellite zoom in on the route and usually pick most of my operating locations in advance. From my QTH in western NC, I can hit a bunch of state contests in an hour or two. I usually start at the farthest point and work my way back home during the contest. Pay attention to the hour before and after sunset as you want to be operating and not driving. That will be the highest rate period and most fun of the contest. 5. I hang signs in my car windows saying "Amateur Radio". This keeps the police and others from stopping to see if you need assistance. With the spots I pick to operate, I very seldom have anyone stop by. Welcome to the world of mobile and rover contesting. ? John Getz ?, AD8J? 24 Stony Ridge Asheville, NC 28804 From n2cu at roadrunner.com Mon Oct 6 19:21:27 2014 From: n2cu at roadrunner.com (Tom Williams) Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2014 19:21:27 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] rover questions Message-ID: <7523D00162E64E6EA052D6315208F62C@696908E74163425> I think Jim, K8MR summed it up pretty well. I wanted to add one thing - the main reason for separate categories (mobile/rover) is to keep a mobile from using non-mobile antennas, and thereby gaining an unfair advantage over a true mobile with lower efficiency radiators. Take this for example; a mobile pulls up to a friend's house who has a 70' tower with beams. He hooks his mobile rig to the fixed antennas and starts operating "mobile". Don't laugh - it happened in another QSO party I participate in and I got into a big argument with the one of the committee members over it. So if you can't drive with the antenna in its final form, it isn't mobile. I look forward to working many of you this weekend as I go mobile in NW PA. 73, Tom N2CU <>< K3 #3582 From paqso at mailman.qth.net Mon Oct 6 19:32:07 2014 From: paqso at mailman.qth.net (TwelveVDC--- via PaQSO) Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2014 19:32:07 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] rover questions In-Reply-To: <7523D00162E64E6EA052D6315208F62C@696908E74163425> References: <7523D00162E64E6EA052D6315208F62C@696908E74163425> Message-ID: OMG!

Sorry you won't be with us this weekend. What I'm going to mention probably won't be much help for this weekend, and I understand there may be other issues going on in your life, but as a totally blind ham I can tell you there are ways around your poor eyesight. From setting up windows with high contrast colors and large fonts, to screen reading software, to logging programs that announce which field you are in, to radios with speech chips that make operation a breeze, it is out there. I understand you may not want to reinvent the wheel at this time of your life, but if any of this interests you, drop me a note and maybe we can see you next October. 73, Steve KW3A (DCO) On 10/9/2014 10:33 PM, W8LQ wrote: > First....m congratulations to W3TDF on make the big Nine Oh!

Message-ID: I would like to add that I am even more psyched for this party now than I was 24 hours ago. Tim Duffy, K3LR, was guest speaker at our UCWA club meeting last night. It is no surprise that Tim's enthusiasm for contesting is contagious, and I appreciated how Tim integrates the ethics and skills of contesting with the many other areas of ham radio that he has immersed himself in over the last 40 years.

Portable stations cannot set up on county lines for bonus points but stations can "spot" themselves via email...so very interesting ----- Original Message ----- From: "PQP reflector" To: "PQP reflector" Sent: Thursday, October 9, 2014 6:09:28 PM Subject: [PaQSO] "Where Are The Bonus Stations?" Savvy PAQSO Party contesters will occasionally dedicate one eye (and one email capable device or window) during the entire weekend on the PAQSO reflector forum. At frequent intervals, (likely, hourly) all ten W3TDF County Bonus Stations will be spotted RIGHT HERE showing real-time Band/Mode locations. This should speed your trip around the dial to rack up thousands of Bonus Points in short order if you're keeping track. With over a hundred County/Band/Mode multipliers in play, who will bag the most and win the coveted "Ray da Grump, W3TDF Celebration Award?" Only 2 days to go!

They were very helpful. Thanks to Tom N2CU for your example in response to my questions about about rover versus mobile. I would like to discuss this more with the group, but this isn't the right time for that, and no one wants to hear a rookie discuss rules. However, I can't help but mention that in this case, the rules will cause me to leave home my mobile antenna, which means fewer possible contacts from rare counties, which isn't good for anyone. I am a little worried about my 27ft elevated vertical. In the NJ contest (portable in Cape May), it seemed to be much better at making contacts 1000+ miles out than in hearing local NJ stations. Maybe I'll try to lean it over some to see if I can get a steeper takeoff to hear PA stations better -- anyone ever hear of a "slanted vertical"? :-) [Hopefully this "plain text" email will be formatted better than my last one ... Yahoo "rich text" doesn't work well with email reflectors.] So here's my roving intentions ... I don't have enough experience to call them plans. :-) Saturday rove E to W along Route 6 starting at Susquehana or Wyoming to McKean, then heading S or SW (depending on the hour), ending in Clearfield. Sunday start in Centre, W to E along route 80, then SE along 322, then E along PA Tpke.

First and foremost, we do not now, nor have we ever had an assisted class. We make no distinction between someone using spots, or not using spots. Second is that people have used the list as a spotting medium for years. People have announced their locations, frequencies, and times, mobiles have monitored the wish lists and headed out to rare counties, or changed their routes. All of this during the party. Anyone doubting the veracity of my statement is welcome to go to the list archives, download them and check for themselves. Third is that The W3TDF effort this year doesn?t do this for any personal gain. They win no counties, get no plaques, and by being the bonus station, ensure that QCWA chapter 17 will not win anything. I am most sincerely sorry that you choose the moniker of ?so called party?. That hurts. We and especially myself strive to make this party fun for everyone. We?re called the "Friendly Party", and I take it very seriously. It pains me to have my veracity and ethics challenged for things that we have always allowed. most very sincerely, Michael J.

The Manual index is available from the Entry window Help menu. Logging county line stations, operating from county lines, and Rover/Mobile support is explained in this section of the manual. This is function in both the legacy and Logger+ programs. http://n1mmplus.hamdocs.com/tiki-index.php?page=Setup+QSO+Parties+-+CW+and+S SB#Rover_Mobile_and_County_Line_Support Make sure you take advantage of the county line QSO entry to save time when logging county line stations. Based on previous communications from Mike, County Line station QSO's can have the same serial number. When you configure the program to operate from a county line, there is a program prompt for serial numbers. A Call History file is available at the link below. http://n1mmplus.hamdocs.com/tiki-list_file_gallery.php?galleryId=27 If you are using USB ports, make sure you disable the Windows power down of the USB port. You also want to disable Windows Sleep and Hibernate if they are enabled and you will be away from the computer. N1MM Logger+ - Make sure you are using the latest program version (October 9). There hasn't been a PA QSO Party change for weeks but we have been improving the program code daily. - Users can open a separate Multiplier window for Counties and Sections. If you want to see all multiplier abbreviations, right click in the window and uncheck "Show Only Worked & Expected to be Worked Mults". - The Available window has right click options to configure the bands shown in the Summary Table and filtering options. The multiplier column order can be changed by dragging the column title. Users can hide a column by changing the width to zero. The sort order can be change by single clicking on the title. Users can yank spots out of the Available window with Alt+A and ALT+Shift+A. - The Entry window has a right click menu to set the Bands shown in the Band Panel. The Contest dialog Mode Category selection will determine how many modes are displayed in the Band Panel. To display digital modes, select Mixed+Digital. The right click menu allows users to disable sections of the Entry window display. - The Check window has a reverse call lookup pane. Entering a partial exchange and/or callsign in the Entry Window will check the log and call history and display possible matches. There are right click options for the Check window. I would set the Reverse Lookup Threshold to 2. - The little double headed arrows shown in most windows are used to change the font size. If you find that the menus or titles do not align, set the Windows display magnification to 100%. - The window colors, fonts, skins, and other items are set using the Config, Manage Skins Colors menu. - The frequency band plans that are used to determine the spot mode are dynamically adjustable by right clicking on the Bandmap frequency bar. - The spots shown in the Telnet window are color coded by mode. Gray spots are those that are filtered by the Telnet filter options. These spots are not sent to the other window displays. Notice there is a tab to add a spot to all outgoing telnet spots. - QSO editing can be done by double-clicking on the element that needs to be changed in the Log window.

I had the pleasure of even helping Ray get set up in my home county a few years back. So to those who are accusing me of above, kindly correct yourself. My issues with email list spotting, especially self spotting via email lists, is simply, this is an Amateur Radio "contest" I find tremendous Irony, in all this hoopla, over anniversaries of the QCWA choosing to use modern technology, rather than original on air tactics. However, if this is the case, then apparently anyone and everyone can, and seemingly should, advertise to the email reflector their freq and mode so that no one has to tune their VFO, and use operating skill. I resent, your implications, that I will be a party "pooper" and why you had to drag this into the personal level. That, honestly has me very baffled. In response to my statement regarding rovers, county lines, That was simply voicing my opinion on some of the rules of the PQP, where it is ok to self spot, via email, and I presume text, telephone call, any form of means to notify folks of your operating position, yet a rover, cannot claim bonus points for both counties, should they choose to set up on a county line. Perhaps, I am thinking back to the traditional reasoning for on air contests, which were to keep skills sharp in the case of an emergent situation, or my experiences following the general rules for Hf contests, and trying to apply such rules to this one. I apologize for sharing my opinion. Ray W3TDF, Congratulations on making it to the prime age of 90. I can only dream of making it to that age, let alone be able to function as such as you do.

Thank you so very much for bringing that up in the forum. Since you have taken the position of bringing this up on the reflector in public, I will discuss this with you on the reflector, in public, so that everyone knows what you are talking about. Your desire for changes in the Rover position would have entailed me: Eliminating county line stations. Allowing 500 point bonuses for Rovers when they do not move. Negatively impacting portable stations, as they can automatically move to county line stations and call themselves Rovers. Completely disregarding the entire concept of Roving. There are county lines where a Rover station could pick up 2500 points without ever moving. We had this discussion, where you dismissed my entire rationale, which included that Rovers are not the only group I have to worry about, I have to worry about everyone. Most very respectfully Scott, you expected me to throw the County line stations and mobiles (who would have to move), and portable stations under the bus so that you could operate as a multi-county Rover effort without ever moving. But you forgot the most important part of the equation. If county line stations were eliminated, that Rover station would have to move between every county too. Your concept would completely eliminate your concept. Because while we make a little leeway for safety purposes on county line stations, if there are no county line stations, the antenna and station then MUST be in the county you are operating from. How are you going to do that without moving? But that?s what I?m here for. Not all suggestions are actionable. Sometimes what people would like me to change or to do has a major impact on other operators. Some are impossible or completely impractical. I can?t imagine that you would want me to eliminate other?s enjoyment of the party, and I?m sure that wasn?t your aim. But no one major rule change in a basic group can happen without major impacts on others. County line stations are extremely popular, both among the operators of the stations, and the operators who work them. Eliminating them would put me in the witness protection program And that is really the thing here Scott, I suspect that part of your issue with the Spotting - which has been going on for just about ever - is your issue and more based on your anger with me. Now here is the big thing. Spotting has gone on forever, and with no one complaining before this year, and with your mentioning our little issue, I can only imagine that is the most of the problem. You need to try running a QSO Party some time, where whatever decision you make alienates someone for life. But most respectfully, if you plan on disrespecting Ray by refusing to operate in this year's version of the PQP, in main part because of your continuing anger with me? That is 100 percent your disrespect, 100 percent on you, not me. And that would be just about as big a shame as I can imagine. - Most very respectfully, - Michael J Coslo From paqso at mailman.qth.net Sat Oct 11 00:09:09 2014 From: paqso at mailman.qth.net (TwelveVDC--- via PaQSO) Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2014 00:09:09 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] Bonus Station Spotting In-Reply-To: <498464797.6489830.1412993690625.JavaMail.root@comcast.net> References: <3C2F0D78-6D63-4286-87C2-CDE84CD39801@aol.com> <559349167.5806460.1412904524550.JavaMail.root@comcast.net> <7D65C172-ADCC-4CF7-AC88-4702B1484EB4@aol.com> <498464797.6489830.1412993690625.JavaMail.root@comcast.net> Message-ID: <06D00056-62CD-461F-851C-F2956E4FB6E8@aol.com> On Oct 10, 2014, at 10:14 PM, ka3qlf at comcast.net wrote: > I apologize for sharing my opinion.

I was going to do serial number ranges for the two operating positions, however I can't seem to figure out how to start one operating position at a certain number without it making the other position start at that higher number. I see that N1MM does avoid serial number conflicts and each position reserves the next serial number, so maybe I don't need to reserve ranges, however I've thought jumping serial numbers confuses people.

This was the request. I would advise against efforts to mess with the serial numbers. It will likely interfere with the serial number reservation system.

(for W3HKK in central Ohio) Message-ID: <20141012211432.E4SPC.8444.root@cdptpa-web12> Pulled the plug a couple hours early since I met my goal - a Clean Sweep at 2:47pm Sunday, with 265 Q's in the log. QTH: Licking County, (central) Ohio. Club station WW8OH did not activate this year so I decided to operate S-O from the home QTH. Age: 72 Last minute antenna building on Sat, Friday night downloading of N1MM+ (Maybe 50% of N1MM+ worked FB, but Im still figuring out the rest Hi Hi. But I like it!), and finding the new antenna tuner settings caused me to miss the first 2 hrs of the contest. I also opted to watch the PSU-UM football game, :< so another 4 frustrating hrs were spent in front of the TV. So, Thanks! to all who made this great, fun contest and my clean sweep possible. Activity and cndx were outstanding! Could have been the best cndx in years! Hear guys talking about operating from cabins in the mountains, family farmland, etc. Very cool! Several kind ops relinquished the freq so I could work a new county that they had just worked! Tnx guys! My skip distance (looking east) to PA is between 100 and 400 miles, so Sat morning ( last minute work is always best) I wired up a common coax feed to 40m and 80m half wave dipoles, which also served as guy wires, and pushed up a 28 ft mast by a corner of the xyl's veggie garden, to hold the center. So, really, they were two inv V's with the peak at 28 ft, and the ends at 8 ft above the ground. Three trips in and out to trim the lengths ( all 4!) got resonance in-band, and I was ready to go ( at 2:15pm Sat.) As luck would have it, my only SNY qso was with W3TDF on 20m - my only contact on that band. 160m was pretty active around 11:30pm-midnight Sat night. Worked Mr Mobile:K8MR from two counties on Sunday - on SSB no less, with 59 sigs. Man does Jim attract pile ups! Misc Stats: 265 Q's 67 Counties 130 cw/135 ssb Q's 13 Q's on 160 - 43 on 80 - 208 on 40 - 1 on 20m. Station ( 100 mi west of the PA line): IC7600 to TenTec Centurion at 800w.; Morse Code Buddy/keyboard. 28 ft apex 40m inv V broadside E-W. 28 ft apex 80m inv V. broadside NE-SW.

For less than the amount of time it takes to say you're a dupe, you could just give them a new exchange and log it.

Several years ago I gave up explaining to others when and why they were a dupe to have them try to correct their logs. As I generally operate as NK8Q, sometimes they put it in straight or sometimes as NK8Q/3 (which is partially my fault because I sign that on CW to clarify that I'm in PA or on voice I say "NK8Q in Pennsylvania" so that stations in VA and MD and so on don't think I'm in OH, MI or WV instead and pass over me). This year operating as W3TDF/CLE I figure I had about 15 or more dupes. I logged all of them without blinking an eye. The logging program doesn't care and it conveniently assigns it as zero points, so I don't get a penalty. Plus, if the first contact is screwed up instead and the points were given on that one they would then apply to the second QSO instead, so it is a win-win. I also just find it quicker to log the dupe and move on. Anyway, I think the dupes are due to the various ways of logging the W3TDF stations. N1MM Logger seemed to prefer W3TDF/xxx in the callsign field, while I heard that WB3W or N8FJP would take just the W3TDF and then allow the different counties to be entered in the exchange field.

Cc: paqso Subject: Re: [PaQSO] Good Job everyone! ..... and one Comment Scott, I agree, although I didn't hear many doing that, but then I was mostly running and not doing S&P. Several years ago I gave up explaining to others when and why they were a dupe to have them try to correct their logs. As I generally operate as NK8Q, sometimes they put it in straight or sometimes as NK8Q/3 (which is partially my fault because I sign that on CW to clarify that I'm in PA or on voice I say "NK8Q in Pennsylvania" so that stations in VA and MD and so on don't think I'm in OH, MI or WV instead and pass over me). This year operating as W3TDF/CLE I figure I had about 15 or more dupes. I logged all of them without blinking an eye. The logging program doesn't care and it conveniently assigns it as zero points, so I don't get a penalty. Plus, if the first contact is screwed up instead and the points were given on that one they would then apply to the second QSO instead, so it is a win-win. I also just find it quicker to log the dupe and move on. Anyway, I think the dupes are due to the various ways of logging the W3TDF stations. N1MM Logger seemed to prefer W3TDF/xxx in the callsign field, while I heard that WB3W or N8FJP would take just the W3TDF and then allow the different counties to be entered in the exchange field. Not sure what other programs did. I'm beat, hitting the rack ...

Yes, even my meagre log for last Saturday and Sunday's PAQSO party, which has less than 20 Q's, (because I was distracted doing other things this weekend) has one contact which some op said was a dupe, and didn't want to take it. Yes, MAYBE I was in his log, but a careful search of my log resulted in NIL (NOT IN LOG) @ N8XX. I took the time to argue with the DOLT who was saying that I was a DUPE, and he finally took it. Probably this DOLT, the LID operator @ N8XX, or my crummy, 10 year old computer, or some combo thereof, accidentally scrubbed the first record of a QSO with the PA station. So I needed the contact. In >99.44% of the contests I've entered, DUPES are allowed, there is NO penalty for having a DUPE. It takes considerably less time to log a dupe than to argue about it. I "probably" have a half dozen or more "DUPES" in any log from a contest in which I take even a semi-serious interest. I log em and consider it a privilege the other person wants my contact in duplicate, sometimes triplicate. So, this DOLT, LID, INCOMPETENT OPERATOR who is the usual operator @ N8XX is amazed, amused, and befuddled at all the comments about dupes in logs from the Pennsylvania QSO Party. If the rules forbid dupes, or penalize people for having them, they really need an overhaul.

As long as there is no point claimed for the dupe contact, there is no penalty and they should be left in the log. Sometimes it even benefits the operator at one end of the QSO. Calls get bungled and misheard, logs get deleted, entries get accidentally erased and a dupe to one party might be points for the other. Small contests like PAQP generally take a log at the operators word, but larger contests cross-check logs and removing a duplicate QSO can potentially cost one party points. This DOLT, LID, INCOMPETENT OPERATOR, didn't even get on this past weekend, so if you worked me, it's not a dupe, it's a ghost! 73, Al AE2T From mjcn3li at gmail.com Mon Oct 13 10:10:55 2014 From: mjcn3li at gmail.com (Michael Coslo) Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 10:10:55 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] Good Job everyone! ..... and one Comment In-Reply-To: <543BA9EC.6040103@suddenlink.net> References: <543BA9EC.6040103@suddenlink.net> Message-ID: Yes, the multiplicity of programs - even to include hand written ones, and even to include every version of a given logging program, are the reality of what we get. Some folk use always updated versions of N1MM, and some are using old DOS programs. -side note - there are some programs in use that print out a summary sheet that tell the user to send them to one of my predecessors, Doug, W3HDH, in Petersburg PA. Its been 15 years since he was the chairman. Regardless, log 'em and leave 'em is a mixed bag regarding duplicates. My personal and selfish preference is for logs that are correct, which means no dupes. Dupes, and especially lots of them, just make it take longer to process a log. -73 Mike N3LI - On Mon, Oct 13, 2014 at 6:31 AM, Tad Danley wrote: > I agree dupes should be worked and logged - there is no penalty for dupes, > and if you are not in the other person's log you will miss out on the Q if > you don't work the dupe. > > I think the issue may be there are still 1-2 older logging programs out > there that do not allow dupes to be logged. > > Tad Danley, K3TD > > On 10/12/2014 9:40 PM, Scott L. wrote: >> >> It was another great time working the PAQP this year and our K3IR group >> missed out on was Juniata Co. >> >> My comment is how I was amazed how many people were saying "sorry, you're >> a >> dupe, qrz".

MAKE SURE YOU FIX LOG ENTRIES FOR PORTABLES/MOBILES ... before you complete your imports to general logging programs! When you import your log into a general-purpose logger, the /XXX designator we use may screw up your entries. I use DXKeeper and it interprets the slash notation literally. For example, W3TDF/BUX is the same as W3TDF/BV - I don't think The Grump was in Taiwan over the weekend! I had to fix all the bonus and mobile/rover entries this morning.

Our 90 foot loaded dipole and two element quad worked well running about 500 watts. Voice keyer was an issue with the Omni 7. With so many voice settings in the menu, it's hard to match both the mic, and the mfj voice keyer. Need to spend time listening with another radio, into a dummy load.

Tried 10m off and on, but never heard any activity. 63 counties worked. Missed JUN, SUL, SUS and VEN. I operated from VEN; don't I get county credit for that? :) QSO leaders were OM2VL 15 (including two 80m CW QSOs), K5LH 12, AA3B and K0RI 11, and many others in the 5-9 range. Thank you to all the stations who followed me from county to county and made this weekend most enjoyable. Please look for me Oct. 18th in the NYQP when I will be mobile once again. Score includes bonus points for operating from 9 counties and making the minimum required QSOs in each, and 28 QSOs with the W3TDF bonus stations.

This time I got a cleansweep. Thanks to K8MR/R for the last one in Cambria!! When should I order the plaque? Should I wait until the logs are checked? I will be using the on-line store to buy shirts, hats, and donation. Also, I worked WQ3N andW3WH on countylines. I use N3FJP and had to enter both counties separately. There was no countyline option that I saw in the program. Now the qso have the same contact number for both counties, but the program makes 2 record numbers translating into 2 qso's. I have 235 qso contacts, but the total record number is 256. When I print out the summary the program provides, it shows 256 qso contacts instead of 235 qso contacts. I can edit the printout to show 235 qso contacts which would be correct for the raw score to be calculated. Is this the way to go and has anyone is had this problem.

This time I got a cleansweep. Thanks to K8MR/R for the last one in Cambria!! When should I order the plaque? Should I wait until the logs are checked? I will be using the on-line store to buy shirts, hats, and donation. Also, I worked WQ3N andW3WH on countylines. I use N3FJP and had to enter both counties separately. There was no countyline option that I saw in the program. Now the qso have the same contact number for both counties, but the program makes 2 record numbers translating into 2 qso's. I have 235 qso contacts, but the total record number is 256. When I print out the summary the program provides, it shows 256 qso contacts instead of 235 qso contacts. I can edit the printout to show 235 qso contacts which would be correct for the raw score to be calculated. Is this the way to go and has anyone is had this problem. Thanks again to all of the operators who make this happen. 73, W1KMA, Chris HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAY ______________________________________________________________ PaQSO mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/paqso Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:PaQSO at mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html From w3hkk at roadrunner.com Mon Oct 13 16:19:36 2014 From: w3hkk at roadrunner.com (w3hkk at roadrunner.com) Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 16:19:36 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] WARNING on importing PAQP logs with /CLE etc suffixes into general logging programs is so true!

It was FB working all the area hams. BIG thanks to all the rovers and especially to Mike for all he does. Got the clean sweep! Everyone says ?Field Day and PA QSO Party? for favorite events of the hammy year. K3MJW ran multi-multi with three radios. Had a nice fire going outside to hang out on the off-times. We had our PA QSO apple pie bake-off. Life was good. I chuckle at the dupe discussion. There is NO REASON not to work the dupes. Either someone didn?t log the Q right, a difference in how is was entered or whatever. It doesn?t matter. Don?t even tell them they are a dup. Just workem and move on. It takes the least amount of time and everyone is happy. No harm done. Work the dups. As one of my elmers (W3RSR/SK) told people when he was a dup ?I just wanted to let you know I?m still thinking about you?. We used N1MM+ for the first time. It worked GREAT 98% for us with only minor issues. - The cluster would drop out every now and then. We would need to close out the program on the master computer and re-start the program. Not sure why. It happened around 3 times during the contest. - Every now and then the serial number would revert to 0 (as shown in the entry window). After entering the next call in the window it would go back to the correct number and continue to be fine. The only time it was a problem was with CW. If you got a request for a # repeat the program would give a serial number of 1 instead of the correct number. After you enter another call and hit the space bar it was fine again. The network was rock-solid. We loved many of the new features. Looking forward to the next contests using N1MM+ Again, great working yall. We had a GREAT time. vy73 Bob, WC3O (for K3MJW) From paqso at mailman.qth.net Mon Oct 13 23:05:49 2014 From: paqso at mailman.qth.net (Steve Strauss via PaQSO) Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2014 03:05:49 +0000 (UTC) Subject: [PaQSO] PaQSO Digest, Vol 121, Issue 36 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <1469753283.20707.1413255949456.JavaMail.yahoo@jws106100.mail.bf1.yahoo.com> Another great year traveling to and operating from my Family Homestead in Dornseife, PA (NUM Co.).

With the advent of N1MM's popularity in PQP and my personal switch to it for PQP (the last contest I did not use N1MM for) I revisited the ADIF needs. The only issue that I noticed is that N1MM simply puts the received county abbreviation in a field. It knows the abbreviations (BUX, MGY,...) but not what they mean in ADIF county information terms (PA,Bucks, PA, Montgomery,...). So I wrote a new version of the translation program that will take the county abbreviation in N1MM's ADIF output and add a field with the proper ADIF county information. I have one more feature I want to add and a couple of additional tests I want to run before distributing the program. The overall program is a lot simpler as compared to my original as N1MM is creating the rest of the ADIF details. This program is written in Java so you will need a copy of the Java Runtime Environment installed. This also means that the conversion program should run on any platform that supports Java. The additional feature is stripping a '/county' from a callsign (not just this years W3TDF but any future multi-county operations) so general logging programs will not assume the station is portable DX. I need to look into one or two more things before doing this. So if you haven't imported you N1MM ADIF just yet, and you can drag your feet for a few more days, you will be able to get full county information along with your import.

This time I got a cleansweep. Thanks to K8MR/R for the last one in Cambria!! When should I order the plaque? Should I wait until the logs are checked? I will be using the on-line store to buy shirts, hats, and donation. Also, I worked WQ3N andW3WH on countylines. I use N3FJP and had to enter both counties separately. There was no countyline option that I saw in the program. Now the qso have the same contact number for both counties, but the program makes 2 record numbers translating into 2 qso's. I have 235 qso contacts, but the total record number is 256. When I print out the summary the program provides, it shows 256 qso contacts instead of 235 qso contacts. I can edit the printout to show 235 qso contacts which would be correct for the raw score to be calculated. Is this the way to go and has anyone is had this problem. Thanks again to all of the operators who make this happen. 73, W1KMA, Chris HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAY ______________________________________________________________ PaQSO mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/paqso Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:PaQSO at mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html From mkempisty at verizon.net Tue Oct 14 08:38:41 2014 From: mkempisty at verizon.net (Mark Kempisty) Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2014 05:38:41 -0700 Subject: [PaQSO] NY QSO Party this weekend Message-ID: <1413290321.24067.YahooMailNeo@web163503.mail.gq1.yahoo.com> The NY QSO Party is this weekend.

However I did recently visit their web page and found not only the standard information, but some new stuff including a rarest counties list. Its not surprising to see New York (Manhatten) on the list. That would be tricky to activate from both logistics and security.

To get maximum exposure to the phone crowd in PAQP we also stopped to operate with the 33 Foot HamStick in four of the more rare counties. Since the PAQP rules don't allow rovers to make QSOs while moving, we operated as W3USA while mobile and as K8MR when parked. I skipped the full mobile setup with the four band Hustler system, and just used two HamSticks while mobile. So no 15 or 10 meters. I also saved most of the SSB operating while stopped. All in all a pretty typical PAQP - lots of in state activity, not so much from out of state. But still a fun trip for this Pennsylvania native.

It's always a good time to drive around PA to see the fall colors, and this was a beautiful day to do so, although the leaves have just begun to change. To get the maximum out of our time on SSB, I operate from several of the more rare counties as a Rover, using the 33 Foot HamStick antenna. (33 feet of wire fed against the minivan ground. Generally 2-3 S units better than the HamStick). Since PAQP rules don't allow Rovers to make QSOs while moving, we operated as W3USA/M while driving. While the drive was less exciting than last year's futile effort where we lost the minivan brakes at the start, we did have some interesting times. We didn't plan to do so, but we ended up spending 2.5 total hours in Armstrong county. First we stopped at a site we've used in previous years, at a water tower not far off US422 east of Kittanning. But we got there and found there is now a locked gate. So back on the road, encountering a lot of power line noise for the rest of the county. Drove around the last small town looking for a good spot with no luck. Then backtracked five miles to a church parking lot we had passed, and set up there. Did OK for a bit, but then we stopped getting calls, were having trouble raising people, then getting odd audio feedback, and then the radio died. We had forgotten to turn off the headlights, and the not very new battery did not like that. Fortunately after several tries we were able to get the van started using a couple of 25AH batteries I carry along. We then kept the engine running while parked and were once again able to get some decent rate. Cambria county was one of the rare ones this year, with lots of people asking about our schedule to get there. Once again we were having trouble finding a quiet location. We tried at a park in the town of North Cambria, but quit from there after four QSOs because of the QRN. We were eventually able to find a better but not totally quiet location and set up there. When we did, WOW! I can't recall a more intense pileup in any domestic contest. I kicked it into overdrive and ended up with 140 QSQs in 45 minutes from that spot. That included several for whom Cambria was their last county. There was very little overlap of people worked from K8MR and those from W3USA/M. I'd prefer one didn't have to split the time between two different entries. It is a bit complicated (both computerwise and brainwise) switching between two calls. But the contest is still fun either way. On Saturday I'll be out again, roving around the Finger Lakes in the New York QSO Party during the daylight hours. I hope lots of you will show up in my log in that one! 73 - Jim K8MR From n3xls at juno.com Tue Oct 14 20:10:20 2014 From: n3xls at juno.com (=?utf-8?B?bjN4bHNAanVuby5jb20=?=) Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2014 20:10:20 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] =?utf-8?q?2014_PaQP_N3XLS_results?= Message-ID: I just uploaded the contest log into lotw if anyone needs a cfm 73 ----- Reply message ----- From: "n3xls at juno.com" To: Subject: [PaQSO] 2014 PaQP N3XLS results Date: Sun, Oct 12, 2014 8:14 PM Pennsylvania QSO Party Call: N3XLS Operator(s): N3XLS N3KAE WC3Z Station: N3KAE Class: M/M HP QTH: Wyoming WYO Operating Time (hrs): 22 Summary: Band CW Qs Ph Qs RTTY Qs PSK31 Qs --------------------------------------- 160: 33 30 80: 89 139 40: 219 329 20: 115 168 15: 25 21 10: 8 6: 5 2: 4 --------------------------------------- Total: 481 704 0 0 Mults = 140 Total Score = 238,840 Club: KQX group Comments: 28 contacts with W3TDF Bonus, County Sweep, Thanks to all the mobile and rovers for helping with the sweep.

Likewise, any idea of how to find the name of the data file? reads I realize that I can copy the log manually from the screen, and will, if necessary, but wondering if there is some simpler procedure I don't know about.

I have spent hours already trying to figure out why my score doesn't add up to what I think it should. After examining the Cabrillo file which the log generated, I see it awarded 2 Qs (but 1 serial number, as I believe it should) for each county line station, and either 2 or 4 points (which I think should be 1 or 2) depending on the mode. Is that correct? Am I right in believing it should be one QSO and two multipliers? I also have a phantom multiplier affecting the score which I cannot track down. It's not the DX multiplier, or EPA, WPA. I worked 67 counties and 63 sections + 1 DX I did try "Rescore Current Contest" under the "Tools" drop down menu, but the numbers were still off. So I have gone through the entire log line by line and assured only one QSO per CL station. I adjusted the score accordingly. Regarding the phantom multiplier I'm simply stumped, so I ignored it, I'm not counting it. I have one dupe which I logged and was awarded 0 points as it should have. I'm hoping I can now upload the Cabrillo file that it generated, as is, plus the Summary PDF that N3LI has made available, with the correct number of points/qsos/mults/bonus inserted. Does this sound like an acceptable plan? 73, Mike, K2CD (K3MX Pike Cty) From mjcn3li at gmail.com Wed Oct 15 15:14:15 2014 From: mjcn3li at gmail.com (Michael Coslo) Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 15:14:15 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] Couple of Post PA QSO Party Questions In-Reply-To: <543E9358.60504@yahoo.com> References: <543E9358.60504@yahoo.com> Message-ID: On Oct 15, 2014, at 11:31 AM, C.

Paper logs are for Luddites who don't use computers for logging. And we love our Luddites! Yes, we do prefer electronic logs, but we have not abandoned the folks who still like to work on paper. Even now, many mobile Ops like to log on paper. We even have some suspenders and belt Ops that send their logs in on paper, email, and disc. About the only thing we discourage is floppy discs, because drives are getting harder and harder to find. I have one machine left, and it runs Linux. > IF WB3W's programme doesn't generate a cabrillo file and an ADI file it should be relegated to a hysterical (or historical) ham radio museum. The problem isn?t that WB3W doesn?t generate a cab file or summary sheet. I use it mobile for the extra large fonts, and it works FB. Bob?s problem is that his computer and/or program isn?t happy when he goes to save it. On that matter, I?m not certain what the problem is.

Click File, Open Log in Database, correct the Send Exchange line. The Cabrillo Specification does not include QSO points or multipliers when first worked. N1MM Logger generates a file to the Specification. The Log window displayed the multipliers when first worked.

Some of the earlier releases of W98 did not include this utility. This DCOM utility MUSTbe run PRIOR to running the Logging Program Setup. If you install the Logging Program first and you get a run time error when it first starts up, use the control panel "Add/Remove Programs" to remove the Logging program. Then run dcom98 and reinstall the logging program.

Second is trying to fill out the form in a web browser. I?ll be adding that to the text message I send to the folks having trouble.

It?s migrated into the N1MM group, and I?ve been taking a surprising amount of heat about it. We need to bear in mind that there are more people who forgot to send in their logs or sent in an .adi or .mdb or other unusable file with their email than have had problems with the pdf summary file. And it?s okay, I work with anyone that has a problem, to get their materials in order. Just like every other year. Once again for anyone that missed it, use the latest free Adobe reader, and fill the form out in the reader, not a web browser. And if the pdf form is an issue, most programs do a summary sheet for you. N1MM?s summary sheet works FB. We have to look up a few other things from the log file, but no problem. - 73 Mike N3LI - From w3tdf at ptd.net Fri Oct 17 14:57:19 2014 From: w3tdf at ptd.net (Ray Bilger) Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2014 14:57:19 -0400 Subject: [PaQSO] QSL Requests Message-ID: <001201cfea3c$2d5b01b0$88110510$@net> PLEASE, GUYS & GALS.

I do apologize, but this is too important. Now, if you are reading this and are not currently an ARRL member living in Western PA, you can skip this right now, and my apologies again for bothering you. However, if you ARE currently an ARRL member in WPA, please read further: As you know or should know, we are currently in the midst of the elections for ARRL WPA Section Manager, ARRL Atlantic Division Director, and ARRL Atlantic Division Vice-Director. I learned earlier today that many people have not received their ballots for one or both sets of elections. Personally, I got my ballot for SM, but not my ballot for Division Director/VD. What happened? Not sure yet, but the ARRL sent out an email in mid August announcing that they were going to start implementing electronic (on line) voting as an option. Not everyone got that email, for a variety of reasons. Worse, if you didn't read the whole thing, you wouldn't have learned until the 5th or 6th paragraph down that you were being switched AUTOMATICALLY to e-voting, UNLESS you went online and opted out be a certain date. (Hard to do if you never got the email!) As a result, many people didn't get the paper ballots, because they were switched without their knowledge or consent. Worse, it looks like the record keeping in Newington on who got switched, and when, has been mucked up to say the least. I was told via email that I had missed the deadline & was swapped to e-voting. yet I got a ballot in the mail the next day. Go figure. So: If you are an eligible ARRL member, and wanted to vote in the elections (and votes are due by mid-November, 14th for SM and I think the 22nd for the Division offices), if you have not received ballots or heard anything else: Please email Phil Theis K3TUF at phil at k3tuf.com this weekend, or as soon as you possibly can. Phil found out about the problem, and he is working with the ARRL brass to get this resolved. Phil is going to send a list of eligible members who didn't receive their ballots to Newington , and will make sure that you get your ballots in time to vote. I know that to many people, the elections are not a big deal. So be it. But these offices are our elected representatives to the ARRL, the Division Director is OUR rep on the ARRL Board. They should not be held by someone who won a popularity contest, or who had the highest name recognition but is unqualified for the job - and the winner of the election shouldn't do so because a hundred or more ballots were never sent out (and yes, in many of these races, 50 or 100 votes makes a huge difference between winning and wait-till-next-time) If you have any questions, please let me know. And feel free to pass this around to other ARRL WPA members. 73, ron w3wn --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

With the electronic submissions now in place (woo hoo!), you can't just stuff a few bucks in the envelope like in the past. I donated electronically and you can too. Scroll to the bottom of the PA QSO Store page: http://www.nittany-arc.net/PAQSOStore.html and you can click the donate button: [PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!] ... to give something to help the NARC gang keep this the best state QSO party anywhere! These things don't just happen. It takes lots of volunteers, and money too!

I used N3FJP'S software and it worked differently than I'm used to, but the sequences of the log show me the time and I believe the band is correct. We did have a digital station on for a while and I am not sure but the contact may have been there. Thank you all for your help. I should know better than do what I did.

As I was (to put it mildly) scolded for allegedly passing on less-than-accurate information, I felt it necessary to send this update. Hopefully this will be the last time. Again, if you are not an ARRL member, this doesn't apply to you, so my apologies for the bandwith. However, if you ARE an ARRL member in a section or division undergoing an election. . When I heard about the problem last week, I was left with the impression that it was confined to WPA. I've since learned that other ARRL sections have or are having the same problem. The cause is the beginning of the implementation of online or electronic balloting for ARRL elections. The issue is that someone at the ARRL decided to notify all members, by email, that not only was electronic voting being phased in, to eventually totally replace paper ballots. but that members would be switched to e-votes by default. Well, not everyone has an email address, and not everyone has informed the ARRL of their email, and even those who did haven't always kept their current email address up to date. Further, not everyone reads their emails. So: If you are an ARRL member in a Section or Division (or both) that is currently or is about to have an election, and have not received in the mail your paper ballot(s) . Log in to the ARRL web site, at http://www.arrl.org , and go to the election page at http://www.arrl.org/election. Everything else you need should be available there. If this does NOT work, call the ARRL, toll free, at 860-594-0200 or 888-277-5289 Although you can ask for paper ballots to be mailed, they may not get to you in time. One last comment: This came up today because I received an email from one of the candidates. I would rather not publicly state whom. The impression I got from the email is that this individual appeared to be more upset that I'd relayed information from another candidate, than over members not being able to vote. Thus this update; if the candidate remains unhappy with this information, he is more than welcome to post his own correction, I am done. Suffice to say, I now know which of the candidates that I will definitely NOT be voting for. 73, ron w3wn --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
