[digitalradio] 42nd ALESSANDRO VOLTA RTTY DX CONTEST
42nd ALESSANDRO VOLTA RTTY DX CONTEST www.contestvolta.it The SSB and RTTY club of COMO and the A.R.I. (Associazione Radioamatori Italiani) are pleased to announce the details of the 42nd Alessandro VOLTA RTTY DX CONTEST. This contest is organized to increase interest in RTTY mode as used by radio amateurs and honor the Italian discoverer of electricity, ALESSANDRO VOLTA. * TEST PERIOD: from 12:00 GMT Saturday May 10, 2008 until 12:00 GMT Sunday May 11, 2008. In the future this event will take place on the second full week-end in May. * BANDS: 3,5 - 7 - 14 -21 - 28 MHz Amateur bands. CLASSES: * SINGLE-OP ALL - Single operator, all bands. * SINGLE-OP xxM - Single operator, single band (where xx=10, 15, 20, 40, 80) (Single band entrants who also operate on other bands are encouraged to submit their logs to aid in the log-checking process. QSOs on other bands are counted: 0 points, 0 multipliers, 0 QSOs. Clearly mark in the log's CABRILLO header which band is to be counted as the single-band entry) * MULTI-OP - Multi operator single or multi transmitter * SWL - Short Wave Listeners. CHECKLOG - logs for QSO checking ALL CATEGORIES: Single band or all band, single operator or multi operators, only one signal allowed at any one time; the operator may change bands at any time. No power subcategories. Use of DX spotting nets is allowed. SCORING: All two way RTTY contacts will score in accordance with the exchange POINTS TABLE. Contacts between stations within the same country will not be valid. (e.g.: A W2 station can work W1, W3, W4 etc, but not W2). Contacts made outside one's own continent on 3.5 or 28 MHz are worth double points. CONTACTS: Station can be worked only once for each band. Additional contacts may be made with the same station if a different band is used. MULTIPLIERS: A multiplier of 1 is given for each Country contacted. The same Country may be claimed again if a different band is used. An additional multiplier is given for each INTERCONTINENTAL COUNTRY (DX) worked on at least 4 bands. A contact with a station which would count as multiplier will only be valid if that station appears in at least 4 other logs, or contest log is received from that station. POINTS: Total exchange points multiplied by the total number of multiplier multiplied by the total number of QSOs. [Points x Multipliers x QSOs = Final score]. COUNTRIES: ARRL DXCC Country list plus each call-area in Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and the USA will be counted as a separate country. In those cases DO NOT COUNT the general Country multiplier (JA-VE-VK-W-ZL); COUNT ONLY each call-area worked (JA1..0, VE1...0, VK1..8, W1...0, ZL1...ZL4). * MESSAGE: Must consist of: RST - QSO number - Your CQ Zone number. (es.: 599-001-15) * SWL: The same scoring rules will apply but based on stations and message copied. Use one CABRILLO record for each station heard. If you heard both stations in QSO you have to log two heards. (see example) AWARD:. Starting this edition the SOAB category will be split in separate category by Continent. A special Plaque will be awarded to the top stations in each category. In addition, to all contestants, an electronic certificate (.jpg file) will be downloadable from our site. PAPER LOGS AND SUMMARY SCORE SHEETS: Use one log per band. Logs must be clearly filled and must contain: Band, Date, Time GMT, Call sign of station worked, message sent, message received, points and multipliers. A summary score sheet is required with a list of multiplier worked in each band and EXTRA multipliers for 4 bands DX.. SEND YOUR PAPER LOGS to: I2DMI - Francesco DI MICHELE - P. O. Box 55 - 22063 CANTU' LOGS: ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION. Send logs (VOLTA CABRILLO files) via e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the Subject: line of your e-mail message please include your callsign and the category you entered (e.g., I2DMI SINGLE-OP 20M, I2DMI MULTI-OP, I2DMI SWL, etc). Logs should be sent as an e-mail attachment, not in the text of the email, and the filename for the log should be yourcall.log (e.g., I2DMI.LOG). No summary score sheet is required for CABRILLO logs. If you want you can send it as YOURCALL.SUM file (free layout). CABRILLO files will be checked by a Robot (see instructions in the VOLTA site). You will get first a successful delivery message and then an e-mail with diagnostic errors message. You can correct them and send the log again. See on www.contestvolta.it programs for Cabrillo conversion. IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ANY MESSAGE FROM US PLEASE SEND THE LOG AGAIN: LOGS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 2008, JULY 31st TO QUALIFY. PLEASE DO NOT SEND BOTH PAPER AND ELECTRONIC LOGS. -- Andy K3UK www.obriensweb.com (QSL via N2RJ)

Re: [digitalradio] USB - RS232 adapter for Vista 64bit?
Peter, A good, but expensive, solution is to get the SignaLink USB interface, which has digital VOX built in. This how I solved the same problem You can also get a C-media USB Sound Adapter and modify it to bring out a PTT line, which is a less expensive approach ( http://www.usbradio.org/usbfob.pdf) 73, Skip KH6TY
Re: [digitalradio] USB - RS232 adapter for Vista 64bit?
Hi Peter, The Prolific company seems to make a very large number of these adapters that are then branded with different companies names. The old (large and expensive) Radio Shack USB adapter (about $40 here in the U.S.) was from this company. I am sure these products are available world wide. The older adapters may not have new drivers developed for Vista, but when I purchased a recent design, that has the electronics built in to the 9 pin connector, it came with a mini disk with drivers. This worked FB for XP, but when I tried to use it for Vista, the computer would reject the attempt to load the disk. I was quite concerned at first, until I realized that Vista automatically identifies this product and no driver is even needed. One of the nice features of Vista that at least some may not be aware. This adapter cost me around $20 including shipping. I have seen them advertised for as low as $12 plus shipping and are much better for portability. Some of them may have very short cables, barely over a foot long, so for rig control you will likely need a few additional feet of extension cable for the RS-232 side. I think that Linux also supports many of these adapters, but I currently removed Linux yet again from my computers as it just can not compete with XP for practical use with ham programs, and definitely can not compete with Vista when it comes to the highest quality font and image rendering on my systems. Incidentally, I burnedan iso from the new OpenSolaris Live and that seemed much better than Linux variants in terms of image quality. Even could handle my high end HP tower with Nvidia chipset. But then again, the problem is that I could not run my ham software, which is something I am really not willing to give up. 73, Rick, KV9U Peter Frenning [OZ1PIF] wrote: My new LapTop (Zepto 6625WD), like most new ones, has no RS232 port, so, in order to PTT my radio (FT-847 - no VOX!), I need an USB to RS232 adapter.

That depends on what you're interested in doing with your PK-232. WinWarbler supports your PK-232's CW and RTTY modes. You can run RTTY with the MMTTY soundcard engine and your PK-232 simultaneously, providing either diversity decoding or the ability to decode a RTTY DX station and its pileup simultaneously.

[digitalradio] Allocation of 10.1 to 10.9 MHZ for Amateur radio
A long shot , since it would require IARU approval , but how about working toward use of 30M for exclusive amateur radio use? The recent studies of this band suggest that it is unique in propagation characteristics that make it an effective band for communication regardless of many seasonal propagation variations. The advent of satellite communication, and the resulting shift of utility communications out of the HF bands, PLUS the scenario whereby ALE has become de rigeur for the remaining HF military and emergency communications , should make the non-amateur use of 30M unnecessary. There are plenty of usable frequencies immediately below 10 mHz and above 11Mhz that fast scanning ALE stations can use for military and emergency traffic. BFA (brute force ALE ) as used by military and FEMA, can also make effective use of frequencies several mHz above or below 30M, under most conditions,. Thus, I would propose 30M to be allocated as follows 10.000 - 10.100 Unmanned/ automated low power beacons with signal bandwidths not to exceed 50 Hz. 1 watt maximum power. 10.1 -10.3 Attended digital signals with bandwidths not to exceed 500 Hz. Power limit 100 watts. Also CW. 10.3 -11.0 Experimental amateur operations( digital ) bandwidth not to exceed 5 khz . 100 watts maximum power. If the military folks want a band back, we'll give 'em 12M , BFA would still be able to communicate on this band much of the time. Okay, off now to file the proposal. Target implementation, 2013.

The understanding that I have is that Open Solaris is Sun's open version of Solaris and I think it may be equivalent. It is a Unix System V variant of Release 4 and no other System V code is available as open software. It is very significant that Ian Murdoch is now a major player at Sun. For those who may not know, he is the ian in Debian Linux. His wife Debra is the Deb part:) The ZFS file system is considered pretty good. They have adopted GNOME as the desktop so it has the look and feel of Ubuntu and other Linux variants that use GNOME. (Personally, I somewhat favor KDE (Kool Desktop Environment) but either one would be OK if I could run the software that I need to ham radio purposes. I have read that there have been problems attempting to port WINE to Open Solaris, but I really am not knowledgeable to comment on that. Perhaps other group members may know? For me, the big surprise was that it was the first Linux/Unix type product that could properly drive the Nvidia graphics. No other Linux version can do this, and I have tried more than a dozen of them over the past few years. 73, Rick, KV9U Jose A. Amador wrote: Is that Linux or plain old Solaris?

Just getting started with this mess. Gonna first try rcving RTTY (a mode I've used since 1950's in military) then ease into xmt and then into the more sophisicated modes. Question is: Is there any source of stations/freqs/etc of commercial stations that I can practice on? 73 Walt (N4GL) - Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
Re: [digitalradio] USB - RS232 adapter for Vista 64bit?
Thank you, Rick. A friend and coworker told me that he achieved to make work his Nvidia card with Mandriva. I have not been able so far, using Mandriva Spring 2007. Mine is GeForce FX5200. I downloaded the driver pack, more than 100 MB. I have not been able to see where is the failure. Also, my TV tuner card, a NPGtech Teal TV Top 10 (CX23881 based) has been a no-no under Linux. Originally a european tuner, I changed the ceramic filters (passband and trap) for 4.5 MHz equivalents and works quite happily with NTSC-M under XP Pro SP2, but I have not been able to make the tuner change channels. 73, Jose, CO2JA --- Rick wrote: For me, the big surprise was that it was the first Linux/Unix type product that could properly drive the Nvidia graphics.

-Way to go Walt ! There is this old post : Someone was asking about the commercial rtty traffic on 30 meters. I just decoded some of it using 450hz shift and 50 baud set-up with MixW. See text below. The stations transmit Maritime weather reports etc. 73, Tony KT2Q CQ CQ CQ DE DDK2 DDH7 DDK9 FREQUENCIES 4583 KHZ 7646 KHZ 10100.8 KHZ RYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRY CQ CQ CQ DE DDK2 DDH7 :$$7K9 FREQUENCIES 4583 KHZ 7646 KHZ 10100.8 KHZ RYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRYRY CQ CQ CQ BE DDK2 DDH7 DDK9 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed-- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Walter Treftz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just getting started with this mess.

[digitalradio] ANNUAL ARMED FORCES DAY CROSSBAND MILITARY/AMATEUR RADIO COMMUNICATIONS TEST (10
ANNUAL ARMED FORCES DAY CROSSBAND MILITARY/AMATEUR RADIO COMMUNICATIONS TEST (10 MAY 2008) The Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard are co-sponsoring the annual military/amateur radio communications tests in celebration of the 58th Anniversary of Armed Forces Day (AFD). Although the actual Armed Forces Day is celebrated on Saturday, May 17, 2008, the AFD Military/Amateur Crossband Communications Test will be conducted 10 May 2008 to prevent conflict with the Dayton Hamvention (16-18 May 2008), which is the same weekend as the actual Armed Forces Day. The annual celebration features traditional military to amateur cross band communications SSB voice tests and copying the Secretary of Defense message via digital modes. These tests give Amateur Radio operators and Short Wave Listeners (SWL) an opportunity to demonstrate their individual technical skills, and to receive recognition from the Secretary of Defense and/or the appropriate military radio station for their proven expertise. QSL cards will be provided to those stations making contact with the military stations. Special commemorative certificates will be awarded to anyone who receives and copies the digital Armed Forces Day message from the Secretary of Defense. MILITARY-TO-AMATEUR CROSS BAND SSB TEST CONTACTS. Military-to-Amateur cross band operations will take place on the dates/times in ZULU (UTC), and frequencies listed below for each station. Voice contacts will include operations in single sideband voice (SSB). Some stations may not operate the entire period, depending on propagation and manning. Participating military stations will transmit on selected Military MARS frequencies and listen for amateur radio stations in the Amateur bands indicated below. The military station operator will announce the specific amateur band frequency being monitored. Duration of each voice contact should be limited to 1-2 minutes. The following stations will be transmitting on MARS frequencies listed below which are provided as Window/Dial Frequency in kHz.
