With the 1997-1998 contest season fast approaching, it's time to update the
master callsign database that is used by CT, NA and TR logging programs.
This
database helps people match partial callsigns using their logging program's
"Super Check Partial" feature, even if you haven't worked that call yet.
This year, I only need logs from the 1996-1997 contest season. This includes:
CQWW (October and November 1996)
ARRL Sweepstakes (November 1996)
ARRL DX (February and March 1997)
CQ WPX (March and May 1997)
IARU HF Championship (July 1997)
Of course, logs from the 10 meter and 160 meter contests, All Asia, WAE,
are also
welcome.
I especially need logs from Europe, Asia and the many DXpeditions that were
active. This way we'll get a good balance of stateside as well as DX
callsigns in the database.
Don't worry about vanity callsigns - all US callsigns found in the database
will be changed if a vanity callsign has been issued.
I prefer to receive original .BIN files from CT. If you are using NA or TR,
please send me the ASCII-formatted log file instead. You can send the log
file to me as an attachment from your E-mail program. Please note the
contest
name, date and callsign used in your E-mail message (it makes it easier for me
to put the file in the right place). I don't have an FTP site for
uploading log
files, but might be able to work something out if there is enough demand.
About a week before the CQWW Phone contest, I will announce the location of
the
updated master callsign files.
Please send logs and any comments or questions to <jjreisert@alum.mit.edu>.
Do not
use any old addresses you might have for me. I will try to acknowledge
every log I
receive, usually within a day or two.
Thanks again for your continued cooperation in this effort.
