I'm interested in all aspects of amateur radio. I operate on the HF bands and am always looking to work new DXCC entities. I'm an enthusiastic data contester.

Two instances of HamClock while I was contesting this afternoon.
I’ve updated my popular HamClock install guide so it now includes some easy to use scripts for switching the backend with single commands. You don’t even need to stop HamClock before running them.
These can be run on existing installations as well.

One can never have too many Fair-rite clip on cores. Part numbers 0431164181 and 0431164281. Ordered from Mouser on Thursday and delivered today. I was expecting them to ship from the UK but they came from the USA. Good prices as well.
HamClock is not dead. This shows how to switch to Open-HamClock-Backend (OHB), an alternative back end for HamClock, retaining the functionality of the original.

A HamClock is a great addition to any amateur radio shack. This is a detailed guide to installing a HamClock from writing the SD cardto fully configuring it.
I've never used N1MM before but I need to take my RTTY contesting up a level and start working Assisted.
So I've got it set up like this for BARTG RTTY. To all you familiar with N1MM and data contesting, how does this look? Is it usable or will I find it frustrating? What's right, what's wrong?

Come on data contesters - When someone asks you for your number, don't send the entire contest exchange again, have a macro available which sends the number and just the number, multiple times.
We don't want the entire exchange again, just the important bit.
