QW.EXE
Version 1.31
(C) 1991 by N0LAZ
PUBLIC DOMAIN HAM-WARE
QW.EXE is a VHF/UHF/SHF-contest-programm for contests under the rules of
IARU region 1 contests, that means, 1 km distance is one point.
....................................................................

2.2.3 Some Words To The Keys
----------------------------
2.2.3.1 Statistics
------------------
I think you should better watch the statistics than I write a long
documentation for it. You will see what they say.
The ALT-Z(oom) and ALT-W(ide) shows you the worked locators in a grid.
You worked all REVERSE fields - the others not. You want to see the
IO-Locators and the JO-Locators in ZOOM-Mode, then type:
IO <ALT-Z>
If you do the same for the WIDE-Mode, then the net is smaller but QW.EXE
displays 8 Fields: IO - JO - KO - LO
IN - JN - KN - LN
Same way for other locators:
IN <ALT-Z>
Shows you IN and JN - Locators. This way is valid for the whole world.
The ALT-Q toggles the letter "Q" ON and OFF. That's only necessary if
you want to sent QSLs only to that stations which asked for. We will
give you a QSL-Data-Base in Release 2.0. Then you donot send a QSL
twice to a station. But that's actual in 1992 (see Future of QW).
The CTL-W(rite) command writes all text you inserted to the QW.REM-File.
There is an added "C" in the QSO-Line. If you want to read online the remarks
(Perhaps from the tired night-shift operators ...) then toggle with the
cursor-up-key into the subfile and type a CTRL-R(ead). In the left infor-
mation-window you see the text. Also you can add text from the subfile.
Type CTL-W(rite) and then there opens a window (sorry - I did not see any
other way. I hope - it's the first and last overlay-window in this
program!) then enter the text and type RETURN. A 'C' shows you that there
is a comment. Leave the subfile with the ESCape-Key.
OK - that is it. The packet keys and the cw keys are in the chapter for
this modes. Any questions more? Contact me (DL4MFM @ DB0BQ).

######### - END OF CONFIGURATION-FILE - ######
BE SURE THAT YOU CONFIGURATE ALL RIGHT! THERE MIGHT BE PROBLEMS
IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING WRONG!
The lines starting with a '#' are comment-lines. QW.EXE ignores them.
4.0.1 Your QW Directory
-----------------------
- Copy the QW.EXE, QW.CFG, QWHLP.<LANGUAGE>, <QW.DB> to HARDDISK
or an other FLOPPYDISK.
- configurate the wanted language in QW.CFG.
4.0.2 First Start - Information Screen
--------------------------------------
- call QW.EXE (ref: 1.0.1). To switch to a B&W mode use
the command-line-parameter <-m> (THINK MONO).
- if you entered the FILE-Name in the command line, it is ok.
If not, QW will ask you for a filename. When the filename
is blank, QW uses the filename NONAME.
- After you have done now all successfully QW asks you for
some information.
.............................................
: :
: BE SURE THAT YOU GIVE THE RIGHT ANSWERS ! :
:...........................................:
- Tell QW your WW QTH-Locator. You cannot start logging if the locator
is wrong
- The callsign is necessary for log-imprints and cw-transmissions
- Enter the class (i.e. 01 = 144 Mc SO, 04 = 433 Mc MO) for log
imprints
- Enter date /DAY/MONTH/YEAR -> DDMMYY i.e. 060791) of FIRST
contest-day for later log-imprints
- IFyou want to use a TNC at the COM1 or COM2-Port, then type a
Y in the line "PR Y/N". IF QW finds not a "Y" then is packet
not possible for this session.
- OK, then fill in name, street & town (if you want)
- Now CW. Here is the same condition like PR.
- Start logging: Press the CTL-Key, HOLD IT, press RETURN
4.0.3 Logging
-------------
- You need for a complete QSO:
TIME - CALL - EXCHANGE of REPORT + SERIAL No. + QTH-LOCATOR
- QW knows: TIME, THE OWN SERIAL No., OWN QTH-Locator
- YOUhave to tell QW the other stations call, his report/no. and
his Locator. If YOU send an other report than 59 you also
have to tell QW.
- When QW got all these information into the command-line
then press <ENTER>. BUT - TO GIVE A SATISFYING DUPE-CHECK,
YOU SHOULD ENTER THE CALL FIRST AND THEN PRESS <ENTER>!
By the way - you cann log as many qso as you want. But the internal
Dupecheck for the Public Domain Version 1.31 is FULL with
1500 QSO. You CAN log more - no problem!
- HERE some logging examples:
# 001 : DL4BAD <RETURN>
(logs the callsign)
# 001 : DL4BAD# <RETURN>
(logs and displays DL4BAD/P)
.--.-----.------------------ necessary blanks
: : :
# 001: DL4BAD 55 57020 JO43HH <RETURN>
: : : :
: : : '--------------- His QTH-locator
: : '--------------------- His Report
: '------------------------- My Report
'------------------------------ His Call
# 001: 57020 55 JO43HH <RETURN>
: : :
: : '--------------------- His locator
: '-------------------------- My report
'------------------------------- His report
# 001: JO43HH 57020 <RETURN>
: :
: '------------------------- His report
'------------------------------ His locator
- HIS REPORT HAS TO BE ENTERED IN ONE STRING !
- CALL FOUND IN THE "DATA-BASE"
After a jingle QW logs the locator in the subfile. you only
have to compare, is it the same? YES - you need not to
fill the locator into the command line - the locator is
logged from QW.
IS IT AN OTHER LOCATOR? Log like a normal qso! QW overwrites
the locator with your hand-logged-locator.
I will give some comments to the data-base file in a special
chapter! But here - if you do not want this file, then remove
it from your directory. QW works also without the QW.DB.
- QSL WANTED: If the guy says that he want's a QSL then TYPE only
ALT-Q. The QSO get's a Q-letter. So you can generate
after the contest labels only for these stations.
- COMMENT : in the command-line entered text will be stored in
the ASCII-File <FILENAME>.REM. Here you can leave
comments and remarks for this special QSO. The QSO
will be marked wit a "C".
ENTER text and type CTL-W(rite). If you want more
notes, then repeat: TEXT - CTL-W, ...
You also can watch, what you have written, but look
for this at point 4.0.4.1. Reading is possible from
the correction-mode only
4.0.3.1 LOG-Display
-------------------
A completed QSO shows this:
14:04 DF0JU 51 001 51010 JO42AI 045 6 D
14:04 DL0BN/P 56 002 59004 JN39FF 188 347 Q
14:05 PA0GUS/P 59 003 59005 JN32FF 314 165 C
: : : : : : : : :::
: : : : : : : : ::'-- comment entered

: : : : : : : : '---- DUPE-QSO
: : : : : : : '------- QRB in km

: : : : : '------------------- his locator
: : : : '-------------------------- received report
: : : '-------------------------------- No. send
: : '-------------------------------------- RS(T) send
: '---------------------------------------------- HIS CALL
'----------------------------------------------------- UTC
4.0.4 Correction
----------------
- You see: the qso is logged but how to reach it now? Type the
CRSR UP-Key and you toggle into the log. Jump from FIELD to FIELD
with the TAB-Key. Go up with CRSR-UP or PAGE-UP, down with CRSR-
DOWN or PAGE-DOWN.
- overwrite the field with the correct data.
QW generates now a file. In this file you will find the data
of the OLD RECORD and the data of the NEW RECORD. That's only
for a helpful history of the contest. Useful for "QW-beginners"
and tired "QW-experts" during the night-shift.
RESUME: this file helps you not to loose any data!
- YOU cannot change the TIME and the SERIAL-NUMBER SEND in Version 1.31 !
- leave correction with the ESCAPE-key.
4.0.5 That's all you need !
---------------------------
RIGHT! This few rules are for logging. But there are some more
interesting features in the QW-program.
5.0 FEATURES
-------------
- you are tuning over the band and you hear the part of a call:
"TANGO LIMA ..."
- the type in the command-line 'TL' and press F8. QW then checks ALL
worked calls for the 'TL'-string. What QW found will be displayed
in the information-window.
" JULIETT NOVEMBER THREE TWO ... "
- enter 'JN32' into the command-line and QW scans all logged locators.
If no combination shows JN32 ist is a new station and perhaps you
want to wait...
5.2 Statistics
--------------
There are some and different statistics reachable with the ALT-keys.
Better you examine these displays than I write long comments about
it!
Return to point 2.2.3.1 for detailed information about the grid-map!
5.3 The right statistic-window
------------------------------
The QSO-Rate: That means the average rate since contest-begin
This display is ONLY for realtime-logging. It
will show you strange results if you are out of
the 24h bounds.
opt deg : optimal degrees
ONE word to this display. I guess, the optimal degrees
is in the direction with the most POINTS. For this,
QW has a complicate formula. QW needs also a (your)
horizontal antenna angle. If you "play" with this para-
meter (in QW.CFG) you will see sometimes curious results.
Don't change the default in the QW.CFG!
an example:
we worked 6 station with each 50 points from 270 deg.
we worked 2 station with each 200 points from 090 deg.
optimal deg is here 090 deg, because that are 400
points, 270 deg are 300 points. Perhaps more interesting
for the OP because he made more QSO - but not for the
score.
another example:
1 qso with 600 points in direction 200
1 qso with 400 points in direction 085
1 qso with 400 points in direction 095
opt deg = 090
085 and 095 are in the horizontal angle of the antenna.
Best direction for 085 AND 095 is 090 deg. OK?
When you start the program you will see a little difference
between "opt deg last hour" and "allover opt deg".
The reason is, that I round the opt deg for last hour to
FULL 5 degrees. That makes the XT a bit faster!
6.0 GOOD LUCK
=============
Yes, that was is. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, ideas,
(positive) criticism or you need further details.
There are four more chapters after this (QW & PACKET, QW & CW,
QW & "DataBase", The Future).
.........................................................
: :
: PREPARE YOURSELF FOR USE BEFORE YOU START THE CONTEST :
:.......................................................:
73 and have a good result !
7.0 QW.EXE and PACKET-RADIO
===========================
Connect your TNC to COM1 or COM2 (defined in QW.CFG - default is COM1).
If you are using the PR-host-mode-program SP (DL1MEN) or TP (DL1BHO) you
have nothing to change at your TNC (except the BAUD-RATE between TNC and
PC - here ist 9600 bit/s default).
It was my intention to use the TNC without any changes for QW.EXE - and
so it is!
.....................................
: :
: Initialize your TNC! Set a Call ! :
: :
: Ask your TNC-manual for commands! :
:...................................:
Some examples:
Fix MYCALL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (ESC) I DL0PAX <RETURN>
check the TNC-channel . . . . . . . . . . (ESC) S <RETURN>
(Channel 0 is the monitor-channel)
QW.EXE sets your TNC to channel 1 !
Set monitoring OFF . . . . . . . . . . . . (ESC) M N <RETURN>
connect . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (ESC) C <call> <RETURN>
Please - do not enter any text before the
connect message reaches you !
- With the Y-Command you tell the TNC the "open" channels:
Set Y to 1 and nobody can disturb you during the contest.
- Ask your TNC-manual for further commands and information!
Packet-COMMANDS (enter from logging/command-line!)
BREAK - Smashes messages into information window (the left-one)
(in the status line is a "B" (between the two upper
windows))
NOTIFY - Shows only DX-msg from DX-cluster, others you'll
find in your save-file
(There is the letter 'N' in the status line. If you
receive any DX msgs it is blinking 'D' (=DX)
until you press CTL-D for watching the news)
HOLD - let's all messages in the TNC/SAVE-file
(letter 'H' in the status line)
DX - opens a DX-announce window, enter call, qrg and <RETURN>
FILTER - cancelled, the Cluster has now its own FILTER
CTRL-P - toggle into the PR-window, again CTRL-P toggles you back
CTRL-D - shows you the last 10 DX-msg from the cluster
Shift-F10 - send text to the TNC without toggling to pr-window.
NO ESCAPE COMMANDS ARE POSSIBLE!
SH/... - send SHOW/...- command to the cluster.
(i.e.: SH/DX 2 <RETURN>)
EXCEPTIONS: ALL DISCONNECT, RECONNECT, CONNECT, LINK FAILURE etc.
messages are in the BREAK-MODE when you are not
toggeled into packet and you are NOT in the BREAK-
mode.
8.0 QW and CW
==============
CW works with the LPT1-4 Port. Default is LPT1.
Description of the "K1EA-Modem"
-------------------------------
Ground CW-Jack from Transceiver to Pin18 (DB25) Sign-Ground.
Plus CW-Jack Transceiver to collector of a NPN-Transistor.
Emitter transistor to Pin1 (DB25) STROBE
Basis transistor to 1k resistor, other side of 1k resistor
to Pin17 SLCT.
There are the keys F1 to F6 with stored text:
F1. CQ CALL
F2. SEND REPORT
F3. TU MYCALL
F4. MYCALL
F5. HISCALL
F6. TU
F7. <transmit entered text from the command line>
The memories looks like this at the beginning.
F1. TEST DE !
F2. UR $ % / &
F3. TU !
F4. !
F5. #
F6. TU
There are some abbreviations: If you want to "redefine" the memories
use this abbreviations:
! = MYCALL
$ = REPORT
% = QSO-NUMBER
& = LOCATOR
# = URCALL
redefinition: type the new text into the commandline and type
ALT-F1 to ALT-F6.
Proof your definition with CTRL-C (C like CW).
STOP transmitting with the ESCape key (BREAK).
8.1 CW-Speed
------------
Shift-F1 - Enter in the command-line your selcted speed (>= 30 BpM =
letters per minute) and type Sh-F1.
Shift-F2 - Enter in the command-line your selcted speed (>= 6 WpM =
words per minute / 1 word = 5 letters) and type Sh-F2.
The speed is calculated into BpM.
Shift-F3 - Enter between 1 and 30 and HIT F1 (the CQ-Key!).
After time in seconds there's an auto-repeat for the
cq-key (good fr night-shift and op wants to take
the "station-drink"!)
ALT-F9 - 2 WpM (= 10 BpM) down
ALT-F10 - 2 WpM (= 10 BpM) up
9.0 The QW.DB "DataBase-File"
=============================
If you don't want to use it then remove it from your directory!
In the public domain version 1.31 QW.EXE searches on your disk, there
is a maximum of 5000 calls stored in your DB. You update QW.DB with
the command "WRITELOG". When there is not enough storage, the NEW
callsign overwrites an elder one (compares with the worked dates).
There are a maximum of four tries to find the call. QW.EXE searches
only for TRUE calls. That means, DA1UM is not equal to DA1UM/P.
If you have DA1UM in the QW.DB and you enter DA1UM/P QW.EXE will
NOT find the call. The chance that DA1UM NOW uses a new locator is
larger than DA1UM has the same locator!
In the DUPE-CHECK QW.EXE compares only TRUE calls. If you worked
DA1UM (and forgot to type DA1UM# (=DA1UM/P)) and enter later
DA1UM/P QW.EXE find this as a duplicate call!
TOOLS for the QW.DB:
QWREADDB.EXE - shows you all calls in QW.DB (number, record, date,
call, locator)
QWCRTDB.EXE - creates a fresh QW.DB without any calls (empty)
To update: call qw.exe with your eldest wanted
contest and give command "WRITELOG". Then next
contest etc.
10.0 The Future
===============
