PA0O ham radio

The contest is still going now  see the real time results: http://www.getscores.org/cq_160_cw.html I am in the  SO low power   100w   i did not start  telnet in N1MM  but had the dxcluster screen on.  Passive spotting is the criterion for being assisted  so i could have just as well loaded  the band ruller with cluster spots. Propagation poor was no surprise as the WSPR DX spots on 160 have been poor last weeks. Mostly     zone 14 15 16 20  Saturday heard  1 JA4  he started CQ  at "my" CQ frequency...  that was not giving much hope... the "highlights"    A73A   JT5DX   VY2SS  only the ones with  good receive antenna's   a Beverage to EU  can hear me. A few big W's and 2 VY2 stations could be worked Sunday evening several JA's heard S&P working EU  but could...

N1MM on my Lenovo W510 W7-64   with USB<->serial Prolific After installing yet another Prolific driver  I tested again with N1MM on the laptop.  At first some hours all was working normal but then suddenly again  the frequency readout and ruler in N1MM  starts to play wild . Complete random frequency's where shown. it hangs after some time communication poll still runs with K3 but crazy display. Reset radio's will bring it back to normal. Still not solved will have to get another USB converter based on the FTDI chip/driver to point out where this problem is coming from. Another thing in W7  some button text no longer fits in the objects.  Now I am testing with a rs232 breakout  box and will try to monitor the data over the port. The same Prolific is working okay with WSJT and WSPR I could run WSPR 24hours without errors Also WSJT  the latest version 7.07 runs good  except for some erro...

Serious troubles running N1 MM on my Lenovo W510 W7-pro. At first glance after install it looked fine but then when trying to log an exceptional good 50MHz opening to midwest USA at 20 June, the input fields where wiped out as quick as I entered them... I saw the frequency display running wild at the N1MM input form. I was running 400W trying to get the attention of a W6 I heard at 50105 in contact with south -EU !! but he tuned away....  :-((( W6 never seem to run CQ?  Is it forbidden by Arnold Schwarzenegger because of the bad economic situation?? I thought it was RFI on the CAT prolific USB-serial to the Lenovo but same problem happend again in receive only at 10116kHz . The frequency display and the N1MM tuning ruler was just wild displaying anything but the right QRG... So now I am back to the old trusty P3 with W2000   I could not use Virtual XP either because it would'nt recognise the USB-serial....
