>ARRL Debuts Expanded Online Contest Coverage
>
>The ARRL is proud to announce the introduction of expanded online coverage
>of ARRL contests effective April 19, 2002. The URL for expanded ARRL
>Contest
>coverage is http://www.arrl.org/contests/results/ . ARRL staff members and
>volunteers have spent many months in planning and developing this expanded
>online resource to provide more detailed, in-depth coverage of ARRL events
>on the Web. Expanded ARRL Contest coverage online supplements coverage in
>QST.
>
>The first contest results presented in the expanded online format are the
>2001 ARRL November Sweepstakes, CW. The online presentation features:
>
>Ø An interactive, searchable database of the line scores. In addition to
>the
>information normally presented in QST, you can see band-by-band QSO
>breakdowns, hours operated, check and club affiliation for each entry. The
>database is searchable by call sign, entry class, ARRL Section or Division,
>and club. You can sort the results by many criteria, including call, score,
>QSOs, multipliers, or band QSOs.
>
>Ø Expanded Soapbox comments. In the initial presentation, Soapbox comments
>from all of the electronic Cabrillo entries are included. For future
>contests, the Soapbox tools will be available for entrants to add their
>comments or photos immediately after the contest.
>
>Ø An expanded version of the contest write-up that appears in QST. Written
>by noted competitor Randy Thompson, K5ZD, the expanded writeup goes into
>much more detail than the typical QST presentation. Also included are
>station descriptions for the top 10 entrants in each single-op category, a
>sidebar story about the log checking process by K5ZD and a sidebar about
>the
>history of the November Sweepstakes by Doug Grant, K1DG.
>
>Ø Updated contest category records. Ken Adams, K5KA, and Dave Clemons,
>K1VUT, have teamed up to provided updated November Sweepstakes records for
>each entry class and ARRL Division and Section, as well as overall category
>records.
>
>The new features add to existing online resources for contesters, including
>complete ARRL contest rules and forms, the ARRL Contest Calendar, and the
>Contest Corral listing of contests throughout the year. ARRL Members may
>also subscribe to the ARRL Contest Rate Sheet, a biweekly e-mail newsletter
>that debuted in March 2002.
>
>Access to the extended coverage is available to ARRL members. To visit the
>site, you need to be logged on to the ARRL website with your user name and
>password. If you have not registered, you may do so online at
>www.arrl.org/members. As has been our practice for several years, non-ARRL
>members will continue to be able to view a PDF file of the QST results
>article from the main ARRL Contest Branch Web page at www.arrl.org/contests
>approximately 30 days after the issue of QST in which it appears has been
>published.
>
>ARRL Contests Online is considered a "work in progress." The online
>presentation will be flexible, allowing us to improve the site as it
>develops. As new contest results become available, they will be added to
>the
>site. As you explore the site, we welcome your feedback. You may contact
>contests@arrl.org with your comments or suggestions. You may also contact
>us
>by phone at 860-594-0232.
