Hello,
Thanks to ARRL we already know the top scores of Single-Op and
Multi-Op stations as well as complete results of HQ stations in the
IARU HF 2003.
Well, we all know that usually final scores are reduced comparing to
claimed scores. No wonder, we all make mistakes receiving or typing
callsigns, serial numbers etc.
But claimed and final scores can be surprising. Claimed scores were as
follows for IARU HF 2003 (top ten):
Call QSOs Mult hr Score
CW SSB
R7HQ 16701 423 22,317,903
DA0HQ 19085 473 24 17,869,467
GB5HQ 6400 6487 448 24 17,074,624
TM0HQ 5873 6153 434 24 16,816,198
OL3HQ 5123 5677 428 24 15,807,324
SN0HQ 7809 7874 456 24 15,752,520
IU2HQ 5375 5633 443 24 13,300,189
YT0HQ 5648 5429 445 24 13,070,095
S50HQ 5054 4901 448 24 12,433,792
PA6HQ 4834 4540 406 24 11,646,110
SK9HQ 2234 1767 327 24 4,140,147
And we have the following final scores (top 13) from the ARRL page
(http://www.arrl.org/contests/results/2003/IARU.pdf)
R7HQ 20,817,380
IUxHQ 17,824,836
DA0HQ 16,507,800
GB5HQ 15,705,914
TM0HQ 15,394,425
SN0HQ 14,483,480
EM5HQ 13,425,363
9A0HQ 13,085,082
YT0HQ 11,662,121
S50HQ 11,311,048
OL3HQ 11,254,590
OH2HQ 10,880,332
PA6HQ 10,689,448
It's a pity we do not know multiplier and points data details of the
final results. But we can see two big differences in claimed/final
scores.
The first one is OL3HQ. Their claimed score was much bigger then the
final one. I think that they made a mistake in the claimed score.
Perhaps by mistake the "15" WAZ zone number was input in the log
instead of "28" (ITU zone). It could make such a difference in the
result.
The second situation is with IUxHQ. Final score is about 4,5 milion
points better to claimed score. Perhaps Italian HQ operators lost
about 2.000 contacts in their claimed score. I think such a difference
in the QSO number can produce about 4,5 mln points in the final score.
Maybe we will be able to see the complete data (QSOs, QSO points,
multiplier) soon after the complete results are published. But perhaps
in the meantime someone from the Italian HQ team can give us some
light in the subject.
Thanks in advance
