[LCC] FW: ARRLDX SSB AA5AU SO Unlimited HP

[Don Hill AA5AU]

Thanks Dallas. I was inspired by an article written by Jamie, NS3T, that appeared in the January 2012 issue of CQ Magazine. He created over 17,000 voice files, recording each US/VE prefix and all of the suffixes to make the other person's callsign sound "live". 

 

All my QSOs were S&P so I never had to send the other person's call although I did have 0-9 plus A-Z recorded and they would have worked but it would have sounded robotic. I really don't care if they sound robotic or not but I wasn't prepared to call CQ.

 

I files I had recorded were:

 

My callsign in two different files. One was "alpha alpha five alpha uniform" and the other was "alpha alpha file america united". I also had just my suffix "america united". I had a CQ message, Run Report and Confirmation message but did not use them. 

 

I had a report file that went "five nine lima alpha". I then took cut the "lima alpha" out of that same file and put into another file so I could send "five nine lima alpha lima alpha". Or just send "lima alpha" and it sounded exactly like my "five nine lima alpha" voice because it was.

 

I also had files like "again?" and "what's your power?" and "I need your power again". I had one that said "please correct my call" and one that said "what's your call". I had one that said "qsl". I also had one that said "louisiana" but I don't think I used it. All these files are programmed to be sent when I hit a function key. It was like operating a CW contest.

 

73, Don AA5AU

Comments:

All QSOs made without a microphone. It was my first ever mic-less phone
contest and it was a blast. The weather was too nice for contesting so I
didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked.

Used Audacity to create the audio files and WriteLog to send them. It worked
flawlessly. Can't wait for the next phone contest. Who needs a microphone
anyway!
