Off the Sked for the the rest of today
I needed to pull remove myself from the sked this afternoon due to an unforeseen matter I'm needing to deal with.? We're also having thunderstorms rolling through NOVA.? I'll be back tomorrow weather wiling.??

Sorry, I was on the air.
Thanks for picking up that 40 meter slot, Carl.
You sounded great.
?
For those going on 20, lots of activity (100 plus per hour), but the band is really short.
Acting like 40 meters.

I took myself off the sked for this afternoon because thunderstorms are arriving soon and lasting all afternoon. Anyone who can run 40 SSB is welcome to it. 73, Kay N3KN

For FT8/4 I think it would be confusing unless you identify the 2 stations. Would end up answering each others calls.?
No reason not to do it on cw/SSB that I see.? Frank Stapanowich KN4DUF/FM16wt KN4DUF-10 Winlink VARA-FM Gateway on 145.090

I believe at least two of the other colonies will be doing this.
I don't care, one way or the other.
Throwing it out there for the group.
I recall, there may be some technical reasons why this should not be done in digital modes (Tim, AA4SS, can you chime in here?).

Fw: [LongIslandCWClub] 13 Colonies Event Logging
If you are sending for your paper as well

N1MM (free logging program) has a template (User Defined Contest) for 13 Colonies. I used it this time and it works great. You can create an ADIF file from the N1MM 13 Col log.
On the 13 Colonies Log Sheet page there is a link for "Automated Form Generator". Just fill in the form with your name, call etc. and upload your ADIF file. The form will be "AutoMagically" filled in for you. No muss no fuss.
You still have to snail mail the form but this makes the process?easier.

It means the station posted the spot in the DX Summit web
interface. If you post through some other mechanism, like Telnet
or via an application, the -@ won't be appended.

In the dumb
question department, I’ve always wondered, when I post a
spot on dxsummit, it lists me as “K2WPM-@”
Anyone know
what the “-@” signifies?
I thought it
meant I was affiliated with the station I am spotting (K2B),
but it looks like it’s actually something different.

It really should make no difference.?? Imagine there are 4 K2B stations on 40m at the same time.? What does it matter?? At worst there’ll be a few dupes, but overall it expands the log database!

I checked all K2 stations.
Confirmed K2L is doing free-for-all just for CW and SSB, on Friday.
Since it’s been difficult for us to cover many slots – even with a single op - it’s difficult for me to imagine two or three K2B ops wanting to get on at the same time in the same slot, but feel free to do
as you deem prudent.

I just took a look around the CW portions and everything is dead from 80M through 6M with the exception of a few signals on 40M.
Just echoing K0ZR's comment on the spreadsheet.

I think that more than one station on a band using the same callsign on FT8 would likely be chaos. Also true if more than one was using FT4 on a single band. I hope we won’t do that.?
No problem, however, with one station on FT4 and one using FT8 on the same band. They don’t get in each other’s hair.?
