Re: [BVARC] 10-10 Contest this weekend

[M Reiter via BVARC]

Allen,
god willing I will pass my general today, receive my radio, and build my
antenna,  you will be my first qso maybe. since I am clueless I will start
with a WRC antenna, and then set up a 20m dipole,  should a 20m dipole in
some config either inverted, horizontal, or delta upside down or normal
work on 10 meter also locally?   I have way too many questions and the more
answers I get the more questions I have.

I think I've worked all the Houston guys, but if I missed you, let me know.  
Doing better now on my front porch with my portable rig/antenna than I was on 
the base (OH, AZ, Carrib, all 59).  Gotta love this band!

For your log and others, she spells her name Kelli.

Just a little different. She really had a great time. She has the bug.   By the 
way, "Bug" is her nickname.

[Howard Bingham via BVARC]

Mike Davidson N5MT who host's the net, is located South of Bellaire 
Blvd. & Buffalo Speedway intersection, behind St. Vincent de Paul 
Catholic Church to reference your antenna orientation, he has a Yagi 
about 65 ft. in air, if he can't hear you, other S.H.O.T. members can 
relay..


You may want to tune either side of 28.488 in event there is local QRM

[Jonathan Guthrie via BVARC]

My antenna is a dipole.  It's kind of directional, but it's also kind of 
fixed to my house.


I'm working on a system to rotate my house.   Why think small?  :)

I'd promise to check in, but right now my station has been reconfigured 
for testing the Peaberry I just finished building, and I'd have to 
reconfigure again.  So, no promises.

Listen in tonight and see if you can pull out Allen. He is typically 
the strongest station on the net. If you have a directional antenna, 
point it toward Richmond

or to pick out net control, point it toward the NRG stadium.

Would love to be participating, unfortunately my SISTER does not want 
any antenna's on her house &
have had no help from nephews.. (Do have a 10m 1/2 wave dipole that 
could be strung up in attic along ridge line,

but would need help in installing IF PERMITTED.)

All I have that can be used, are 2 VHF/UHF HT's

Wow, band conditions are REALLY bad. I could barely hear you and i'm 10 miles

back, it fell off again and could barely tell you were there.JeffKF5ONT

Subject: 10-10 Contest starts Friday night - N1MM Logger + tips

 

If you are going to enter the 10-10 contest starting Friday night, and you
are planning to use N1MM+, here are a few tips:

 

1.   Use 1010RTTY instead of TENTENRTTY when choosing the log type. The
1010RTTY has some extra features, and the log entry order is CALL, NAME,
S/P/C (state/province/country), 10-10 number. It flows easier than the
TENTENRTTY. 

2.   Ignore the "RTTY" in the name. This log type is good for any mode.

3.   1010RTTY and TENTENRTTY are both "UDC" log types UDC stands for
"User Defined Contest" and they can be located at
http://n1mm.hamdocs.com/tiki-list_file_gallery.php?galleryId=18
<http://n1mm.hamdocs.com/tiki-list_file_gallery.php?galleryId=18&offset=100>
&offset=100 under tab three named TENTEN.zip. (Or www.n1mm.com
<http://www.n1mm.com>  > files > User Defined Contests (UDC) > tab 3. 

4.   Download and unzip the files into your C:\Users\[your
name]\Documents\N1MM Logger+\UserDefinedContests

5.   There is a call history located in the files section at
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/N1MMLogger/info . (You may have to join
the group to access the folder - or I can send it to you.) The current file
name is  "-Ten-Ten 2015a.txt" . However, I expect a newer file to be
uploaded late Thursday night.

6.   Download the call history file to C:\Users\[your
name]\Documents\N1MM Logger+\CallHistoryFiles 

7.   Start N1MM+. Go to File > New Log in Database. Then go to Log Type
and select 1010RTTY.

8.   Change Sent Exchange to your Name / State / and your 10-10 number. 

9.   Select "Associated Files"

10.   To the right of "Call History Filename" select "Change" and then
select  "-Ten-Ten 2015a.txt". Then click Open to select it. Click OK at the
bottom. (It will be -Ten-Ten 2015b.txt if it gets updated like I am hoping.)

11.   You will get a window that says "Large call history file imports can
take several minutes." Click "Yes".

12.   You should see "Importing Callsigns #" at the bottom of the Entry
Window. 

13.   Click "Config" in the Entry Window and make sure that "Enable Call
History Lookup" is checked.

14.   That all there is to it! ;-) Type a call in the Entry Window and
either press enter or space bar to test. If the station you typed into the
Entry Window is in the database, the Name, QTH and 10-10 number (if any)
should autopopulate. 

15.   Click "Log it" or press enter if using ESM (Enter Sends Message) mode.

16.   After testing this with a few calls, you can either delete the QSOs or
just start another new log.

If you have any questions, or if I have missed anything (or screwed up the
instructions), contact me directly asap.

 

The contest starts at Z or 7pm local time Friday night and lasts 48
hours. Of course there won't be 24 hour propagation, but sometimes 10 meters
can surprise you!

 

73 and CU IN THE CONTEST!

The 10-10 contests only allow for chapter submission so the fill for that is 
Houston SHOT...I will submitt the KK5W total score for BVARC log under the club 
competition. The club score is only the club log from the station operating . 
Norma is having fun working the South American stations.
