We’re Workin’ On It…

There is a problem with the web site creating multiple copies of new postings. The source has been narrowed down to the “CREATE A POST” item in the menu bar.

Until we get this fixed, if you want to create a new posting, please look at the TOP menu bar above the CTRI logo and move the mouse over the  “+ New” item and select “Post.”

Using this template seems to work without the problem of multiple postings. I have deleted most, if not all, of the multiple postings and test postings.

2013 CQ WPX RTTY at NP3U

I originally posted this in late 2011 and thought it would be good to repost it to let everyone know what we are going after down there next month. I just rechecked and the records below are still standing.

Looking Towards New World Record for CQ WPX RTTY

There has been recent discussions about a crew from CTRI heading to Puerto Rico in February 2013 to make a run for the World Record in the WPX RTTY contest. This should be near the peak of the sunspot cycle and will be a great opportunity run up a BIG score at Carlos’ station.

I just did a little research to identify exactly what the records are at the present time. This posting is to put that information in plain view. You should particularly note that the North American record and the United States record are held by pretty familiar callsigns….

Category              Record Holder      Year            Score           WPX

WORLD - Multi-2       EA8AH              2007            17,001,420      895
North America - M2    NP3U               2008            14,053,680      894
United States - M2    NG1G (W1AN)        2011             7,862,238      873

A crew from CTRI also went south to NP3U in Februray 2009 for this contest. However, the gods weren’t with us on this trip. Equipment problems and antenna problems caused us to be Multi-Single for about 25% of the contest time. The score from that effort for NP3U (9.895,184) was still enough to win First Place Honors, Multi-2, in both the World and North America.

 

2013 ARRL RTTY RoundUp Results redux

This is re-post of this item to collect RTTY RU results which disappeared with the necessary roll back of the web site.  Please post your results here.

I already have the results from W1CTN, but I had not transferred anybody elses results to the leaderboard spreadsheet before the rollback.

Sorry you have to repost the results…

2012 CQWW DX CW Contest Results

Looks like Mike beat me to the punch and has posted a site to collect the results of the CW contest this past weekend. If everyone would post their results by adding a comment to Mike’s posting, it would simplify things.

The question of formatting (or preformatting) results so that the columns are aligned vertically keeps coming up. Looking at the template for New Post, there is actually a way to do this without resorting to the  HTML tags <pre> and </pre>. After you cut/paste the table from where ever you get it into the posting, select all of that text and then look above in the bottom tool bar for a pull down menu item that will say “Paragraph”, click the “down” arrow  and select “Preformatted”.  Then when you publish the post, it should show everything the way you want it.  OR… you can move the cursor to a new line (hit ENTER) and select “Preformatted” from the menu bar and then paste the table there. It works either way!
