Subject: serial numbers in wpx cw
Hello all...this is being composed during the heat of the contest....we
experienced serial numbering problems with Ct989.002...........first occurence
was on 10m, when an operator went back a few contacts to correct a
callsign...it changed the serial number by 4 qso numbers...for a quick fix we
added 4 dupe contacts to the log to get the sequence back to the correct serial
number....then it happened on 20m...we lost over 400 qso's numbers...I had all
the ops stop and we had a pow-wow...there is no way to edit the serial numbers
on the "fly"...we could pack it in and wqait till next year or we could hope
that the contest scoring committee can possibly rectify a soultion to our
problem...as of the writing of this e-mail...the count on 40m has gone back
over 400 qso' numbers, 20m is over 600 qso numbers off...and 15m is close to
300 numbers off....on a positive note we have had zero network
problems...DXtelnet has operated with out any problems and the network has
hummed along nicely...we areapproaching 4000 qso's and the scoring of our log
is totally corrupted!!! Using merge utility after the contest will not correct
this problem, either...as it might re-number the qso's....we only have 6
computers networked in the station...an additional computer provides the
internet telnet connection....Ken what can we do here??? we have a top 5 score
and the log is in "lala land"....somebody needs to fix this problem!!!!!!!...we
will send in our logs with as many details as we can provide...we will score
outside the "CT" scoring mechanism .....de Rick p.s. the times logged by the
computers were never corrupted.
