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". <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I files I had recorded were:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>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. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>73, Don AA5AU<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> k1dw@aol.com [mailto:k1dw@aol.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, March 4, 2018 11:28 PM<br><b>To:</b> aa5au@bellsouth.net; lcc@louisianacontestclub.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [LCC] FW: ARRLDX SSB AA5AU SO Unlimited HP<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Don,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Great and creative.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>73 de Dallas k1DW<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal>In a message dated 3/4/2018 6:19:49 PM Central Standard Time, <a href="mailto:aa5au@bellsouth.net">aa5au@bellsouth.net</a> writes: <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt;margin-left:3.75pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>ARRL DX Contest, SSB<br><br>Call: AA5AU<br>Operator(s): AA5AU<br>Station: AA5AU<br><br>Class: SO Unlimited HP<br>QTH: LA<br>Operating Time (hrs): <br><br>Summary:<br>Band QSOs Mults<br>-------------------<br>160: 0 0<br>80: 0 0<br>40: 35 27<br>20: 304 78<br>15: 87 40<br>10: 26 10<br>-------------------<br>Total: 452 155 Total Score = 210,180<br><br>Club: Louisiana Contest Club<br><br>Comments:<br><br>All QSOs made without a microphone.
