There are some problems with open, public available downloads. Downloads are now available to registered users only. If you are not already registered, sign-up and all areas of this web site will be accessible. Enjoy my quite large archive with > 250 files. If you find it useful, consider, please, a small donation to your local Animal Shelter where the "allmighty dollar" is in the command. A dollar or two may be enough to keep a dog or cat alive for one more day, perhaps the day that someone will come to adopt them.

If my site helped to keep alive a single dog or cat, the huge time amount spent building up this site is not lost.

I recommend to use your callsign as user name, if available (I assume that my web is rather uninteresting to those who are not licensed and not involved in DX, CW and contesting). Do not use numbers or meaningless character garbage as your user name. Such entries are deleted without warning because it seems that no living person but a spambot is behind. Many thanks for understanding!

CQ WW "Xtreme" Category

A wide variety of new technologies has emerged in ama- teur radio, including software defined radios, remote stations, Internet connected remote receiving sites, multi-channel CW decoders, fully automated "robot" stations, etc. Some of these technologies currently are not permitted under the rules for existing CQ World-Wide DX Contest entry categories. For example, the CQ WW rules state that:

"All transmitters and receivers used by the entrant must be located within a single 500-meter diameter circle or within the property limits of the station licensee’s address, whichever is greater. All antennas used by the entrant must be physically connected by wires to the transmitters and receivers used by the entrant."

This new category has been established to allow amateurs to participate in the CQ WW Contest while experimenting creatively with Internet-linked stations and other new technologies.
