[SOC] NA Template for EQP

[Bob Patten]

To save re-typing this later..  W4FMS asked me for a template for NA to 
be used in the EQP this weekend.  Unlike VR2BG's
offering for TRLog (a text file), the NA template is a binary file and 
would have to be included as an attachment.  Since the reflectors will 
probably lose the attachment, I will offer to send this to any 
individuals who wish to check it out for use this weekend.  If you do 
want it though, please save the info below so I won't need to retype it....


Hi Frank,
     That was really quite easy!  Here is your template for the EQP, 
I'll also offer it on the Elecraft and QRP-L
websites.  But I still won't be using it myself.  :-)

Copy the file, EQP.CRT to the \NA\CRT directory.

You have three fields in which to enter info.  The first is received 
RST, the third is SPC.  Obvious entries...

The middle field is titled "K*/Info"
If no info is received (station wasn't using an Elecraft rig), you MUST 
enter "NONE" (or anything else - but the field
must have an entry).
If station sends K1 or K2 info, enter "K2/0438"  (that's my S/N).  The 
field will take very few non-alpha/numeric characters
and the "/" is the one obvious one that it accepts.  DO NOT hit space 
bar after "K2" as that will put you in the SPC field.
If you do prefer a blank between K2 and 0438, use the right-arrow key to 
skip a position.
There will be one position left at the end of the field (eight total) - 
add "F" there if the station is a field tester.

For power, I'm assuming you will use the same throughout the contest. 
 NA will mult your QSO's by 3 if you're QRP.  If you're between 5 and 15 
watts, you are "low power" and will get a X2 mult.  If you are over 15W, 
you are high power and get X1.

On second thought, I may use this myself.  For the hours that the EQP and SOC Marathon Sprint are on together, I can just jot SOC # or Power on a separate piece of paper - or enter it into NA as a note (CTRL-N)...
