Mark et al... 

We are planning on all contests this year.. M/S for SS, both CW and Phone.. 
Also, M/2 for CQWW CW and M/S for 160 and 10.   If anyone wants to operate here, 
they are more than welcome.  And we are not  beholding to running with any 
particular call - so if you want to run with something besides
W5RU, you can.

We have two spare bedrooms and shower facilites to accomodate stayovers, plus we 
have a couch in the shack that's good for sleeping (as I tested it out this past 
weelend!).  Food and snacks are provided courtesy of me, but you are welcome to 
bring anything you would like.. So if anyone is interested, please take me up on 
the offer.. 


73,
Ted, KN5O

Hi Guys,

    Looks like some nice scores out of our club member's stations for CQWW 
ssb. Congrats to some really nice efforts from the multi op stations at 
W5WZ and W5RU, as well as SO's from W5WMU (W5XZ op), K5ENS, and KC5WA. 
Heard Pat was in Lubec, but haven't heard how he did yet. Anybody else have 
some scores to post to the reflector?

    Being busy with the tower project, I totally forgot about forming teams 
for the extra competition, but with the multi's gaining in popularity, not 
sure we had enough single op stations for over one team anyway. Will try to 
do better in the future.

    With that in mind, it looks like I will be tied up the entire weekend of 
the CQWW CW contest (Nov 27-28). Who plans to participate, and do you want 
to go ahead and start forming teams now (no mileage requirement on teams)? 
Would anyone like to step up and volunteer to do the team submittal just 
before the contest? If so, you can respond to the reflector, or direct to me.

    Between now and CQWW CW, we have both the CW and SSB weekends of the ARRL 
November Sweepstakes. I know KG5VK is planning a multi-op effort for the 
ssb weekend. Who else has plans to be on either weekend. Anybody planning a 
multi and need extra ops? Anybody wanting to participate at a multi and 
looking for a group to join? Let's keep the momentum going and put lots of 
LOUISIANA stations on the air for each and every contest of the season. And 
by all means, if you participate, please send in your log, and make sure 
you have "Louisiana Contest Club" clearly marked in the log.

73 and see you on the air,
Mark, K5ER

Comments:

Wanted and planned to enter the M/S category, but after review of the log and
reading and re-reading the rules, we had apparently 3 violations of the 10
minute rule.? Since we had four radios already pre-tuned to different bands,
switching between run and mult stations and not doing the proper assignments
caused the problems.? More work to do there..? But had we planned to operate
M/2, I believe our score would have been much, much better.? There was a lot to
work.? AND we did only S&P... 

This was our first operation from the new KN5O shack.. Ran out of space in the
rear master bedroom office.? Plus XYL just finished chemo 3 weeks earlier. 
(She was feeling good and was really very understanding about hosting the
operation for our team, so we planned a nice dinner outing for the XYLs this
week).? Anyway, we now have 2x/3x the operating space and plenty of cables for
more antennas, control lines and operating position communication upgrades.

Also, just the day before contest, we had completed installation of 2 of a
planned 3 phased vertical array for 80m.? I used a Comtek phasing unit, but
will eventually get the Array Solutions triangular phasing unit installed.? So
even though not optimized, our 80m results were nearly 300% better than last
years' posting.

15M was our best band for the buck.. We spent the least percentage of our time
there for the most contacts.? 10M showed some life finally - worked a couple of
EU and AF stations - besides SA and Caribbean.

20M was tough for us - lots of QRM, but we did about same as last year.. 40M
seemed tougher this year.? Harder to bust pileups...? Not much to say about
160M.. With only a dipole at 70 ft., not much you can do from here except work
the US and Caribbean fairly regularly, which we did..

On behalf of our team, thanks to all who gave us Qs and Mults.. We had a good
time and look forward to SS and CQWW CW.

73,
KN5O (Ted)

for the W5RU TEAM? -- K1DW (Dallas), AD5W (Russ), N5HZ (Jim) and KN5O (Ted)
