[EA3DXU]
Hi all
This year I decided to run BCC test on new WSJT mode, I enjoyed a lot
this test for next reasons, many new stations QRV, not TVI at all,
easy and fast QSO's a lot more relaxed that on HSCW, same fun Hi.
Only one comment, I reply many stations answer my CQ with both calls
and report, and after several period sending XXXXXX EA3DXU R27 R27
without signal, returned to CQ377 and QSO was lost sure was a pity,
some got better lucky and I received XXXXXX RRR after I have started
a new QSO, fortunately WSJT can easy solve this problem sending XXXXXX
EA3DXU RRR, in the middle of new QSO Hi.
Heard, answered and incomplete QSO, DL6UAL, DJ5BV, PA0JMV, DC9YC, DL4EAV,
DB5WC, F8DO, DD2UJ, SQ9PV, PA0CAT, DL1GI, DG2GEP, DG2BCP, DL1RNW, DG2DAU,
OK1VVW , OK1VKC, HB3YA, DM2DXG, EA1AK/7, DO5BAT, DL1MAJ sorry, DD6UBS,
DH9GCD, DLOBWS.
See you on BCC MS test 2003
[F1DUZ]
Always a nice contest. It was the first time for me to use WSJT so long time.
Difficult sometimes to find the stations after the change of frequency. I will
try to do better the next year.
[LY2BIL]
Appreciate the efforts of BCC to promote meteorscatter, QSO procedures and
good operating practices. Which is now even more important with this new wave
of inexperienced MS operators, thanks to WSJT. Thanks everybody for answering
my CQ, 73 and Happy New Year!
[ON4KHG]
My first baby was born on December 11th. So, obviously, very limited activity
time for me this year. But anyway, I wanted to participate again since my last
participation in '99. Happy to see there is still some HSCW activity. See you
next year in HSCW & WSJT.
'73's, Gaetan...
Congrats from all of us! We wish you and your family a happy time!

[YU7MS]
Hello MS Friends,
Of course this was our first WSJT contest.
Activity was pretty good, especially in the maximum of shower.
Think we didn't make mistake when we chose to work WSJT instead
of HSCW and it's good that this kind of work is registered too.
It seems to me that there are many of them who don't know MS procedure
on WSJT. We have also noticed that many aren't patient enough to wait
on reflections, and they gave upafter the second period.
We weren't having access to DX cluster because we had worked portable
locations and local packet doesn't work (maybe we would have more C QSOs HI).
This year we were having a lot of problems with equipment, maybe because
this was our 13th contest :-) but after all we did it until the end!
Thanks to all old and new friends we contacted or were called from.
Congratulations to winners!
See you on 2003.

[F6CRP]
For the first time, this year , i was not active on CW. I wasted a lot time
monitoring 144,100, no activity there so i decided to switch to WSJT. Too many
stations are not using the right procedure, we lost a lot of time. Many
newcomers (but old timer also), in particulary french, were calling for hours
and hours on 370 without using the digit system. It's result as the impossibility
for neighbours to work normaly.
WSJT work very well, I prefer nevertheless the CW, more exciting, regrettably I
am afraid that this mode died. I was surprised by the relative weak activity
this year, it is true that the west of France is little attractive,everybody did
my locator for a long time HI. Meet you next year with 3 dB more (i hope).
TNX to DL1MAJ/DL5MAE for organization. 73 Denis
[9A1CAL]
Very low activity on HSCW this year, long hours without even a ping or answer on CQ.
On same time jungle on .370 and tons of DXCIuster QSOs...
Thanks to organizers and everybody we worked. At least someone still wants to make QSO,
not just to let computer make it for him.
73's de Mario and Zvonko.
[HA6NY]
1., Stations heard but not worked are PA3BIY, LZ2FO, RA3QTT, DJ8MS, 9A1CAL (TR).
2., Shower was good, HSCW activity was very poor, compare to the previous years,thanks to WSJT.
3., If BCC had an aim to make competition between the modes also, than WSJT is the winner in 2002.
[LA0BY]
There is not much to report this year. HSCW was almost dead.
I was on for a couple of hours, but could not get more than
two calls in the log. Heard perhaps two more stations.
FSK441 seems to have taken over the role of HSCW now.
The mount of stations to be -worked is certainly highest in FSK441.
I think it was unfortunate for HSCW that there was no mixed mode category.
This prevented perhaps some participants operating on FSK441 from
searching for additional stations on HSCW. In next years BCC-Contest
I will either participate on FSK441 or "go skiing".
73, Stefan (LAOBY)
[DL5MAE]
Since WSJT, HSCW MS seems to die slowly (unfortunately!). Also, the
RANDOM-contest character is lost as many operators even complete their
QSOs via DXCluster. Maybe I am too oldfashioned but MS was more fun in
the good old times. At least its good to see there is high activity is WSJT!
[F5MGD]
SP2OFW was the first WSJT QSO I ever made. I didn't QSO with many people
but It was exiting, This is my first HSCW trial: Greatfull to hear F5MGD
NA1CAL 28 28 I just hear 9A1 CAL during the contest.
I think HSCW is more exiting than WSJT. I hopr to make more HSCW QSO.
Best regads Stephane
[DL0UL]
Compared with last year we saw plain more activity on the band.
Lot of stations made QSO on 370 or called in the wrong periode
and that disturbed the contest. But we had fun in the contest,
although other OP's worked sked-QSOs via Wconvers!
Have a nice year, vy 73, Ingo, DL5EBT.
[EA7RM]
Thanks to BCC for organizing this contest. I broke my rotor on
last CQWW CW, so i decided to put my antenna fixed to NE. I tried
to install an old 9 el i had but it didnot work as i expected so
i used the 17 el mostly.
73s, Nino
[S51AT]
Hello guys,
Year turned around and we did it again. But if you ask me a good contest
turned to a bad joke. In HSCW mode I need six hours to complete first
HSCW QSO! I received RX1 AS first day at 20:05 cquing HSCW, called him,
but after 20 minutes saw his announcement of a complete WSJT QSO on the
DXcluster! No comment.
Particulary WSJT part of the story was interesting. There were many contacts
announced, arranged and confirmed via DXcluster often with full reports and
probably declared as a pure random 3 point QSOs. If I understand BCC MS
contest rules correctly, all QSOs should be completed RANDOM. I don't believe
if one announce on DXC "cquing on .370, RX .365 QTF 170 dgr, 1st period" this
is random work. I can call him on .365 at once, for I have his call, QTF and
QSY frequency. Random work, ha ha! And this counts 3 points!
Another story: last evening of the contest I saw on WWC 14345 a message
confirming sked (time, QRG, period confirmation) between 9A an GW stations
which should be private, but by accident there was slash (/) missing, so the
message was wide open. A lot of stations was on the channel at that time,
but only me and DL1GGT commented this event. I am afraid, that this sked was
also declared as 3 point random QSO and most likely even a multiplier. QSO
was later announced as completed with full reports by GW station on DXC.
Some OPs (not all newcomers!) didn't understand BCC frequency offset system
properly. They responsed to my cq at correct QSY frequency, but still listened
on random. When I transmitted back on .370 after 10 periods on QSY with no
response, QSO was completed in next few minutes. By the present BCC rules these
were no valid contest contacts.
So I decided to send my logs for check purposes only, for I don't want to
participate in this year's mess. Maybe it is good time to change contest
rules (catch-as-catch-can style seems the most appropriate for great number
of stations), but this is the BCC contest commitee domain and decision. Why
use VHF and rocks for contest contacts, while we have The Net, DXc, WWC, Email,
SMS, ...etc. Why respect rules, it is bad for quantity!
Contest results counts, not HAM spirit!
GL,73and HNY Boris, S51AT
Dear Boris
We see the same problems and in this contest we found also much i mistakes,
dupes and bad contacts. We will try to keep HSCW alive an hope, that the HAM
spirit will find also its way to some WSJT operators....

NEW SCORING IN THE BCC MS CONTEST! |
From 2003 on, the BCC Meteor Scatter Contest has 2 mixed Mode (CW & WSJT) categories!
I) (Mixed) Single OP
II) (Mixed) Multi OP
A WSJT Random QSO counts........................1 Point
A HSCW Random QSO counts........................2 Points
A WSJT QSO with Letter or BCC system counts.....3 Points
A HSCW QSO with Letter system counts............6 Points
A separate Log for HSCW and WSJT is not more necessary, you have only to
mark the QSO, whether you worked the QSO in HSCW or WSJT ! You will find
an example for a log on the last sheet.
Sked QSOs do not count for the contest! QSOs confirmed via Intenet or
Packet Radio do not count for the contest!

The HA6OQ Meteor Scatter Memorial Contest |
The members of Radio Club of Salgotarjan (HA6KNB, HG6N) decided that in
memory of a fanatic HSCWer, Istvan Dicse (HA6OQ), who died in 1998 in his
age of 36, to organize a Meteor Scatter Memorial Contest from 2003 on every
fifth year, during the Geminids shower.
The AIM of the Contest is to keep HSCW alive and increase the random HSCW MS
activity, also strengthen the understanding and use of the letter system.
This "HSCW only" Contest takes place at the same time as the BCC MS Contest
and requires the same operating procedures.
The winner will get a valuable price, sponsored by HA6ND, HA6NQ and HA6NY!
Gyula, HA6NY, will inform you about the final rules via Packet Radio and Internet!
BCC MS Logs with HSCW QSOs will be automaticly sent also to Gyula...
