I maintain a Super Check Partial Database for VHF Contests - primarily for
North American Contesters. Please send me a copy of your Cabrillo Submission
for the January VHF Contest. I would appreciate Cabrillo Files for the
June, July, and September VHF Contests as well. I am missing logs from
these contests that I normally have received.
The logs are mined for callsigns to develop a list of active Contester for a
Super Partial Check Database that is usable by the N1MM, RoverLog, WriteLog,
NA, CT, and Win-test Contest Logging Programs. A Database of Calls / Grid
Squares is also produced for these same Logging Programs.
Logs are discarded after one year and are NOT shard with anyone. All I do
is batch process the files you send to build tables of this data. Various
filters are run after the initial processing to weed out calls - for example
those that only appear in a few logs. These are most likely "Busted
Callsigns". For the Callsign / Grid Square Database I try to determine
those who might have been operating as Rovers, but who may not have signed
or may not have been logged as /R or /M.
I now have a way to determine -SK- calls and those that have changed from
the previous Database because of License Upgrades or relocation.
Unfortunately the fellow who wrote my processing software died of Pancreatic
Caner and I am still trying to figure out how to query this database. If
anyone write a routine to take the total list of calls, bump it against the
newer QRZ XML-accessible Database, and flag calls that are Not-Issued,
Changed (report new call), or -SK- I would very much appreciate it. I can
provide a a simple, sorted text listof calls and would be very happy if I
could just get a report of these typed of calls.
I much prefer receiving a copy of the Cabrillo you submit to either CQ or
ARRL, but I can deal with ADIF format logs if necessary.
Copies of the various Databases, and an explanation of the different types
is kept at http://www.k3lr.com/w9zrx/ The trailing "/" I
important.
Please note that my callsign has changed after 60 years from W9ZRX to W9PA.
Please E-Mail the copies of your Cabrillo submittal to zephd@indy.rr.com
The next release will be before the June VHF Contest. This year I plan to
update the Database after each Contest. Last year I was sidelined by
Rotator Cuff Surgery - although I managed (slowly) to use my right hand abd
reverse the Mouse Buttons!
Thanks and 73 --> Dave, W9PA 9ex-W9ZRX
