We need about 32 more people to sign up. See the original email at the 
bottom.   It's a great way to meet people you've heard on the air, and
also to get advice on stuff.

Hello, everybody.


I wanted to provide an update on the Dayton dinner, and... I'd like to 
have some feedback.  Feedback... email me directly: 
whensley11 at comcast.net mailto:whensley11 at comcast.net


Update:

There are only 16 people signed up for the dinner. We need 50 people to 
make it work.  Miracles can happen! ... but unless 34 people sign up 
over night, tomorrow I will have to cancel the dinner.


This is our dinner.  It's interesting that of 20,000 hams (or better) 
that attend the Hamvention there aren't more interested in getting 
together over food, VHF, UHF, microwave, EME, and weak signal...


Barring the miracle, tomorrow I will be returning everyone's money.


73, Kim - WG8S

------------------ original message -------------------

Good evening, all!


Finally!  Got everything nailed down with the hotel.


Who's invited:  you are! ... especially those interested in 50 MHz and 
above, microwave, EME, weak signal!


Date:  Friday, May 18


Time:  open bar - 6 PM

            dinner - 7 PM


Location:  DoubleTree Suites - Miamisburg, OH


Reservations - via PayPal - or by check:


PayPal instructions:


If you send money as a friend/family member - $48.98


If you send money as a business transaction - $50.45


Use my email address.  By check - my address at qrz.com


Please give your callsign.


This is NOT a business for me.  I'm paying for my own dinner like you. 
My 'pay' is seeing us all together for a good time of friendship and 
fellowship!


Questions - please contact me.

Subject: [Mich VHF UHF Society] WSJTX Contest Mode
Message-ID: <D912068D838849A39C4E352F6700A2AC@w7jwHP>

Greetings to the Group. I would like to take a few moments to address proper WSJTX VHF contest mode operation.  While I was very happy to see so many using the new FT8 mode during the 6m Sprint contest, most were NOT using the Contest Mode to provide the required Grid Square exchange.  I do this in hopes of correcting the error of sending a numerical report during a VHF contest which greatly slows down the exchange process.  Regardless if you intend to submit a score to enter your station into the contest or you?re just handing out points and looking for new grids, the proper exchange format is very important to those who are.  Please take a few minutes to become familiar with the process before the June VHF contest when things really get going fast and furious. 

First, download the latest WSJTX software from K1JTs webpage -- http://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx.html

Version 1.9.0-rc4 is the latest release candidate package and seems to work fine.  His team is working hard to finalize the official release before the KH1 DXpedition leaves later this summer.  In the mean time, specifically for the June VHF contest I?d ask the group to please consider using the rc4 or later when it becomes available version.  

When setting up the WSJTX suite, look under the File, Settings, General and click on the box Enable VHF/UHF/Microwave features.  That will reveal the NA VHF Contest box on the main WSJTX window.  Also check Auto Seq and if you intend to call CQ, check the Call 1st box.  This enables the proper contest exchange of Grids and works on both FT8 and MSK144 modes.  A proper contest QSO can be completed in one minute using this feature. 

I operated the 6m Sprint contest with the specific goal of working some missing grid squares to my west. To do this I decided to park my 5/5 element antenna due west, sit on one QRG and call CQ.  I decided to utilize only digital modes to maximize my 200 watts available as the big array was tied down due to storms. With the exception of two MSK144 QSOs in grids I needed, the rest of my QSOs were FT8.  I currently run WSJTX 1.9 rc3 with VHF/UHF/Microwave Features enabled.  My final score was 34 QSOs in 20 grids, again NOT chasing multipliers or QSOs just CQing. 


I hope to see all of you and more during the June VHF contest using FT8 and or MSK144.  Please feel free to pass this along to any others who may not be aware of the Contest Mode feature and its advantages during a NA VHF contest. Best of luck on 6m this season and 73.

Jeff, 

As a rover, my call sign has a /R after it. I heard this was causing problems with the FT8 software as it was thinking is was RRR. 

Any thoughts on this?

David I?m aware of that issue and can only suggest you contact K1JT.  His team may already be aware and working on a resolution in forthcoming releases. AC0RA was /R in 4 different grids last night and struggled with it.  All I can say is it?s not perfect yet, but getting closer.  If we can get everyone to just use the contest mode it would a a big improvement.

Hi Arun, if it?s still available I?m interested in the ticket.

How are you doing? Haven?t been in touch since I left XALT.
