Assunto: [CQ-Contest] CQWW Rules changes - See CQWW site for explanation
Regarding CQWW Rules changes n explanation of the changes can be seen at
http://www.cqww.com/rules_2012changes.htm
I copy below the the part regarding the "log only the call sign you sent during
a completed exchange:
*Rule XII.2 - "Log only the call sign you sent during a completed exchange."
*
The "call sign you sent" refers to the "other station's call." i.e., the
station you are working.
Over the last several years, SDR recordings of the contest have been utilized
to carefully listen to highly competitive entrants. In some cases, when
comparing the call signs that Running stations (those who 'own' a
pileup) sent during the contest to what they actually submitted in their logs,
we found the two would not always match. In these cases, the call signs sent by
the Running stations during the QSO were broken or busted call signs (they did
not match the actual calls of the stations they were working). Clearly, one way
this can happen is when there is post-contest call sign correction.
This rule was crafted because some entrants may claim that these corrections
were based on "notes" made during the contest and therefore are "part of the
log." The contest committee has no way to verify if these were made from
"notes" during the contest or by use of databases (including a recording of
your own contest effort) after the contest. This rule makes it clear that we
expect the call sign in the log to match what was sent OVER THE AIR during the
QSO.
Q: "What should an entrant do if he/she sends a "busted or broken" call sign
during the contest?"
Instead of making (only) a manual note, send the corrected call sign (or the
corrected part of the incorrect call sign) during the contest exchange.
For example, if the running station (entrant) pulls out DX1A from the pile up
and sends the QSO exchange, when the answering station replies with DX1AAT, the
running station should send, as part of the current QSO, either:
- The complete call: DX1AAT, or
- The corrected part: AAT
Equally, if the running station (entrant) sends DR2AA and makes the QSO
exchange, when the answering station replies with DR2Q, the running station
should send either:
- The complete call: DR2Q, or
- The corrected part: 2Q, or
- Just the corrected letter: Q
When the contest committee reviews the SDR recording, there must be an
indication that the runner (entrant) acknowledged *and* corrected the error *at
the time of the QSO.*
The entrant should *never* log *both* the wrong call *and* the corrected call.
The intent of the rule is to log *only* the *correct* call sign for each
completed QSO.**
Q: "What you describe works for the station that is running because it must
send the call sign of the station it wishes to contact. What about for QSOs
made while tuning the band (search & pounce)?"
Most entrants answering a solicitation from a Runner (calling CQ, QRZ, TEST,
etc.) do not send the call sign of the station they are trying to work. They
simply send their own call and then wait to see if the Runner answers them.
This is OK. We are expecting the Runner to send the call or a correction of the
call so we can verify a match with what is logged.**
Historically, highly competitive entrants spend most of their contesting time
running. Therefore, this rule is intended primarily, but not exclusively, for
those entrants who are highly competitive in their category of entry.**
Q: "During the contest, I made a number of notes about some of my QSOs that
needed to be corrected. Since the notes were made during the contest, can I
incorporate those changes into my log after the contest ends?"
During the contest, most of us have, at some point, done something "wrong"
within the logging window. One example might be forgetting to hit the <enter>
key and then adding another call sign which results in some very long, bad
call. Or maybe we added part of the number exchange to the call sign. The
entrant feels so rushed, he/she just wants to "move to the next QSO," so a
"note" is created about what really happened.**
The answer is that it depends on the actual circumstances. The new rules
require that whatever you *sent* during the completed exchange be accurately
represented in your submitted log.**
So if you SENT the correct information during the real-time completed QSO
exchange, then yes, you can modify your log as per "notes."**
The contest committee will judge what you SENT based its SDR recordings of the
contest.**
Q: "May I submit my own SDR file or audio file to show that what I logged
matches what I sent?"
No. Only the contest committee's own SDR files will be used for adjudication.
