2014 CQWW RTTY This Weekend. Any plans?

I know. Time flies. It’s hard to believe the CQWW RTTY is this weekend. I’m finishing up some cleanup and will be prepared for those who may like to operate at my QTH. There will be the usual two stations available. Let me know if you will be dropping by.

Conditions for the W1AW/1 operation this past week were very good. 12M and 10M were open into the early evenings. Could be a good for us this weekend.

W1AW/1 CT Now Active. Ops Needed!

In case you missed or forgot the date on my first post, the 2nd ARRL W1AW/1 Centennial operation for CT started 9/17 Tuesday. There are many open band/mode slots available. I will have my host station open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and next Monday and Tuesday. If you want to operate from here let me know and I will get the slot reserved for you.

Sound Card

After postponing it to the last, I am finally upgrading to Windows 7. My trusty turtle beach is no longer so I wonder what the RTTY gang uses for sound cards and if there are any recommendations.

A Proposal for Handicapping Scores in the CTRI Champions Competition

At the meeting yesterday, I submitted a proposal for a score handicapping system to be used in the CTRI Champions competition. We debated it and the membership decided to give it a try this season to see how it goes. Not as official scores, but as a trial run.

Here’s the link to the file: CTRI Championship Score Handicapping Proposal

I am asking everyone to take a few minutes to review my proposal and give me feedback – what problems you see, how it might be improved, or if it’s great the way it is. I am not asking for folks to tell me if they think we should or shouldn’t do it; that’s something that should be decided at a meeting.

The proposal is short and, I think, self-explanatory. But if you have any questions please feel free to post them here or email me. Thanks for your consideration!

CTRI Meeting Saturday Sep 6 at W1XX QTH

The next CTRI meeting is this Saturday Sep 6 at 10 AM at the W1XX QTH in South Kingstown.  Usually this has meant that antenna work is needed, but so far that is not the case. Agenda:  This is the annual election of officers meeting so attendance is the best means of self protection.  W1AN will probably have an update on the disposition of the KA1GEU estate.

Hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill is the fare.  Parking for several cars at the top of the hill, on the side at the bottom of the driveway (walk up), across from the driveway on Shannock Rd., next to the mailbox, last resort on the hardtop on the upper half of the up-hill driveway.

Please indicate your intended attendance with a comment so we can have a count for refreshments.  Thanks & 73!  — John, W1XX
