what is the correct format in the sp dx cw contest
b
599 d
(space) j

In wintest
H
And it shows 599 H

My first solution was
b
00b

And when replace “00” with “” in the Carrillo file with notepad ++.

I also miss my qsonr in my cabrillo file.

I think they are going to have to be a little lenient on the format due to the variations that are possible.

ex:

59  B
599 B
OR
59  001
599 001

example
example155×109 961 Bytes

Here is the exchange snippet from their rules page:

  • Polish stations send a report, consisting of a signal report (RS or RST) plus the letter of the province designator (e.g., 59 B). The 16 province designators are: B, C, D, F, G, J, K, L, M, O, P, R, S, U, W and Z.
  • Foreign stations send a report consisting of a signal report (RS or RST) plus contact number beginning with 001 (e.g., 59 001).

I hope this helps somewhat.

Hi Brad

It help a lot.

I just set caps lock on it dont change the callsign but uppercase the letter from b to B and so I just replace the “00” with “” after the contest with NotePad ++ in the cabrillo file, it it easy but a bug they have to correct next time.

I hope to get about 30 qsoer and sent 26 wpm with my Bencher paddle keyer but I will work S/P it is the best for me in this contest.

I work remote from a beam on 10, 15 and 20m.

NICE! a cobweb or a hexbeam is on my list eventually. Currently just running a 9:1 EFHW at 30-35ft and 72ft wire but it works from 80-10 and i can reach out pretty far all things considered. Would for sure like to upgrade to something a little beefier eventually. Good luck!!!

Thanks & 73

Hi Brad k4aze

I tried for two hours and could not hear any from Polen, so I gave up.
Next is two danish events
5p0ward and oz100iaru
18/4 and 19-27/4

Maybe I am more locky at those event, but this time I gonna use wintest as my logprogram, and I have to sent my log to oz2i Henning.
