[SJDXA] W1AW/2 info

[Bob Schenck N2OO]

SJDXA members;

Here is the FULL info on LOGGING REQUIREMENTS for W1AW/2

>From W2GD and N2MM

 

GE Everyone,

 

Hopefully everyone receiving this email has signed up for many of the
operating opportunities during the W1AW/2 Operation in NJ next week.

IF NOT....please go to the signup spreadsheet and reserve your times...there
are over 250 hours available each day.

 

Spreadsheet:
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ane1wHz0ERtedEw3ekpDcHpOZDM1Yj

<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ane1wHz0ERtedEw3ekpDcHpOZDM1Yj
BaVGJjZHNfcHc&usp=drive_web#gid=6>    

 

1. Enter you call in hours desired.   2. Click "Share" at upper right.  3.
Click "Done" when the info box appears.

 

Following what is on the Spreadsheet is important to avoid more than one
station on a band/mode at the same time.  

 

If you find you have some spare time during the week, and want to do
additional operating, look at the spreadsheet for current scheduling, and
feel free to jump in to cover open time slots....just remember to enter your
call in the slots taken.

 

 

LOGGING - Software, Format, Naming Format, Submission

 

Preferred Logging Programs:  N1MM, Win-Test and WriteLog.  Use of the HRD
Logger is not acceptable...since it generates excessive detail in the .ADI
file.

 

The logging program must be able to generate an .ADI file.  In most cases
use the "DXPEDITION" or equivalent operating 'event'. Mixed mode settings in
your logger are probably the most appropriate so you can enter contacts for
any mode (CW, PH, Digital). 

 

Please......interface your XCVR with your logging program so your TX Freq is
captured and reported on the log file.

 

PLEASE back-up your log after each operating session for data safety.....we
don't want to lose log data when it is avoidable. 

 

 

Log Naming Format:

 

Operator/Station CALL _ YOUR 3 Letter County Abbrev _ YOUR GRID.ADI

 

Example:  W2GD in Hunterdon County in Grid Square FN20 would look like this:
W2GD_HUN_FN20.adi 

 

 

 

Log Submission

 

Please send your .adi log files as an email attachment to:

W2GD at hotmail.com. 

 

On the Subject Line of your email message please put: 

LOG  W1AW/2 NJ From Your Call    

e.g. LOG for W1AW/2 NJ from W2RQ

 

Logs are due by 8 pm on 4/30, the day following the event.

 

 

STATION IDENTIFICATION

 

On PHONE, please say W1AW STROKE 2   

D0 NOT say W1AW PORTABLE 2

 

Identify at least ONCE PER MINUTE, but sending your call after every QSO is
preferred.

 

WORK ALL DUPES without comment.

 

 

QSO EXCHANGE

 

CW:  599  NJ  

PH:  Five Nine NJ    

Suggestion:  DO NOT send the exchange until you are sure you have the call
correct.

 

Please make your best effort to copy and log callsigns accurately. Repeat
the callsign whenever you make a  correction so the caller knows you have
made the correction.

 

 

 

 

SUGGESTED OPERATING FREQUENCIES

 

The established pattern for W1AW/n operations has been to operate in the
General Class portions of the HF bands.  Do your best to avoid traffic nets,
DXpeditions, and other W1AW/n operations.  

 

 

USE OF SPLIT OPERATION

 

Once you establish a pileup, it is most often to your advantage to operate
in split mode, but please, only do this if the situation warrants going
split.  During slower periods this will not be necessary.

 

On CW, listen up one to two KC, and say "W1AW/2 NJ UP"

On PH, use a three to five Khz split and say UP 3, etc.

In all cases  please be sure your TX and RX frequencies are not causing
interference to others.

 

Please - DO NOT go by call areas.

 

 

 

INFORMATION I NEED FROM YOU ASAP:

 

On Tuesday I am required to submit a list of anticipated operators and their
contact information to the ARRL next week.

.  

Please send me an email with "OP INFO - W1AW/2 NJ" in the subject line that
includes the following:

 

1. Operator Call  

2. Operator Name 

3. Station Location 

4. Grid Sq. 

5. Contact Telephone Number

 

Later this weekend I will send some additional information but the above
should answer most of the immediate questions for now.

 

I can be contacted at 908 391 5611.

 

Regards,

 

John W2GD

W1AW/2 NJ April Coordinator  

 

 

See ya' in the Pileups!
