VP8ORK as VP8-F

I did not see the earlier response by Joe on this subject, sorry. But Pete very few realize that the Post Master in Stanley is the issuing officer for ham calls. the Falklands for many years did not have telephone service between a lot of the camps and ranches on either the East or West Islands or the 20 some smaller islands surrounding them. you do not have to set a test in the Falklands but cause for years ham radio was used as the interisland telephone . many schools would hold class over the radio so that the kids out in the camps could have an education. for years i supplied crystals for a lot of the hams so they could put their radios on the interisland freq. at 2mhz. Since they figure that South Sandwich South George South Shetlands South Orkney ect. are all under the Protectant and part of VP8 one call works for all. To help keep the islands apart in your logging programs as each is a dxcc credit the programers came up with the VP8-F VP8-SG VP8-O VP8-SI VP8-SH . SO when you worked a VP8 and found out where he was you just checked which of the databases it fell into. other then base operations people on the islands that have military bases all the islands have no people living on them. The bottom line is. if you work any VP8 it will be listed as Falklands unless you setup and exception . 73 Tony VP8BLZ

WinWarbler 6.9.7 changes mode to Phone when launched

Hi Dave,
When I launch WinWarbler 6.9.7 with FT2000D in CW and Commander showing CW-R, WinWarbler changes mode to Phone and Commander and Rig change to Phone. If I change WinWarbler's mode to CW and close and relaunch it, it still changes mode to Phone. WinWarbler 6.9.5 does not do this. 73, Art W2NRA

Skimmers (WAS: K1TTT Cluster Node in SpotCollector)
Paul M Dunphy
At 10:05 PM 2/1/2011, you wrote:
You're right, Paul... I never trust spots completely, and I never log a callFirst of all, I must apologize to the group for my typos in the precious message. I actually can spell and type, and I'm not under the influence of any drugs or alcohol. I just type too fast and don't proof read my message. :-) With respect to Skimmers, Lee, VE7CC and I are both collecting spots from the full RBN (Reverse Beacon Network) as well as half a dozen individual Skimmers. Lee's Cluster software removes replicates, and there are many, because multiple Skimmers will pick up the same station calling CQ. If you use VE7CC or VE1DXI as a spot source, you *will not* see this unless you issue the SET/SKIMMER command (and SET/NOSKIMMER to disable it.) You will just get regular spots from humans. With Skimmers enabled, you will get 3-4 times the volume of spots. The extra ones will all be CW, and will be from Skimmers that catch stations calling CQ. It is a fast way to know they are there. I have been feeding SpotCollector for over 2 weeks with SET/SKIMMER enabled, as well as having 3 other "traditional" nodes connected. It has never given me any trouble in terms of performance. It can handle the additional spots well. I should add that my VE1DX "account" on the VE1DXI node is set to reject K spots. This is not because I do not like US stations, but because I am unsure if SpotCollecter can handle all of them (and because I am a DXer and have the USA confirmed on all bands and modes.) This is done with the following command on CC Clusters: SET/FILTER DXCTY/REJECT K As was discussed with K3BZ, Skimmer spots are not perfect. Some rough statistics we've come up with indicate up to 10% of the Skimmer spots can be busted calls. Some Skimmers are better than others. VE7CC's software does everything possible to check for obvious errors (looking the US ones up in the FCC database before forwarding them, for example, and numerous other sanity checks.) Nevertheless, some busted calls will get through. As Jerry, K3BZ, and I have said, verify what the DX Cluster says. In particular watch out for Skimmer spots (they are identified as the spotter having a call ending in -#) I feel, after 2-3 weeks use, that the benefits of Skimmer spots far outweigh the false positives of the busted calls. After all, if anything really rare is activated, we'll know. A P5 or 7O anything coming out of the blue is extremely unlikely to be real. However, right now, knowing VP8ORK is calling CQ on 18.074 MHz (before he finishes!) will be an advantage to you over those waiting for someone to manually spot it. As I said before, use either the VE7CC-1 or VE1DXI node (we are linked so you will get identical spots from either) and experiment with the Skimmers and SpotCollector. It may not be for you; it may cause problems on your particular system in terms of resource utilization, etc. All I can say is it works for me, and works well with SpotCollector. 73, Paul VE1DX (ve1dxi.no-ip.com:23)

Subject: [dxlab] Path View Suggestion Good Day... Suggestion: In CQ Magazine, February 2011, on page 54, another propagation prediction tool is discussed.
