Dear Fellow Contester,
The CQ WW Contest Committee wishes to thank you for your
positive and encouraging comments. Below is the next announcement
from the CQ WW CC. It pertains to the 1997 CW CQ WW logs.

Note: A slight glitch was found in the software dealing with the
SSB NIL reports. It has been corrected. If you wish to download
your SSB NIL report, it might be slightly different or show no
change from any previous download.

With this announcement I wish to let you know who has worked
so hard behind the scenes. The following contesters helped create
the WWW site and the Master Data Bases. A further explanation will
appear in July/August CQ Contest Magazine. The persons emphasized

The next phase will emphasize the Log Checkers and DX Advisors.

The CQ WW Contest Committee is happy to announce the
availability of an evaluation of your **1997 CQ WW CW log**. The
log checking process of the CQ WW CC has reached to point that we
can provide useful information back to each entrant.
EMAIL LOG SUBMISSIONS
If you submitted an EMAIL log to <cw@cqww.com>, you received
a PASSWORD that allowed you to view your own log on the WWW at the
URL: <http://cqww.com>. You can now use your PASSWORD to access and
download your PERSONALIZED Evaluation of your 1997 CQ WW CW log.
The information can be found in your UBN and NIL files under your
call sign.
DISK LOG SUBMISSIONS
If you submitted your log on a computer DISK, you were NOT
given a personalized PASSWORD. In order for you to receive your
personalized UBN and NIL reports, you must request the data from
<k3est@cqww.com>.
PAPER ONLY LOG SUBMISSIONS
If you submitted your log only on paper, no evaluation is
available. In 1998 please send the CQ WW CC your email or disk +
paper summary electronic log.
IMPROVEMENT
We, like you, are not infallible. The CQ WW CC is constantly
trying to improve it's analysis technique. If you notice anything
odd, a mistake or have a question send a message to
<questions@cqww.com>
EXPLANATION OF UBN/NIL files
On the cqww.com web site, there is a file called UBN/NIL
reports explained. It is long and complex so take the time to make
sense of it before asking any questions. It should eliminate a
reason to ask a question. We get a lot of mail. So if you really
don't understand something make your question count.
FAIRNESS of ELECTRONIC SUB vs PAPER ONLY log
You might ask: "If I submit an electronic log, and my
competitor does not, how can the logs be fairly judged?"
They can't. We know this so we go through the entire results
to locate any cases where a position change was due to this
problem. We then type the non-electronic log onto a disk and run an
analysis. In this way both logs are judged the same way.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the CQ WW CC's log checking and evaluation is
to help all entrant's improve and to more legitimately certify the
winners. Every one makes mistakes. Use the information to improve.
We received 685 computer PAPER logs on CW in 1997 with NO
electronic log. If you have you log on a computer, please submit
your 1998 CQ WW logs electronically: email or disk + paper summary.
Thanks and we hope you enjoy this service.
