BARTG Contests
BARTG are pleased to announce that major changes have been put in place for all
future BARTG contests. We badly needed some help with the mess
that we were in with the 2013 log and adjudication situation due to a long-term
illness problem. We tried several solutions all of which failed. However
with the help of Mike Goodey G0GJV and Pete Lindsay G4CLA, we now have access
to the RSGB Robot system of log submission. Pete has set up
access for all BARTG contests and Mike has enabled us to use his software which
is that used for the RSGB CC contests.
The culmination of this was that Simone Wilson M0BOX has volunteered to
become the BARTG Contest Manager, so we are extremely pleased to
welcome her to BARTG.
Simone adjudicates all the RSGB CC contests. It is a rigid adjudication system
and as such it is extremely important that all entrants use the ROBOT and ONLY
the
ROBOT for log submissions. NO other method will be accepted.
The BARTG Contest Calendar is available here:
http://bartg.rsgbcc.org/cgi-bin/hfreadcal.pl
Although it states that dates are provisional, the first two contests are now
over so there are only the Sprint 75 contests left and they are as stated.
To Upload your log, go to: http://bartg.rsgbcc.org/cgi-bin/hfenter.pl
Follow the instructions carefully and it should be quite easy to do. Select
your category and complete the cover sheet. You can check immeditately to
see if your log has been received. You can also ask to be reminded of future
contests. You will receive an acknowledgement of your log, which should
be in Cabrillo form.
A few caveats here: Please pay attention to the rules. If the rules ask for
the time in GMT format, make sure it is. If the rules state that no RST is
needed
please make sure that there is no RST in your log. Your logs may be returned
for amending if conditions are not met. Robots do not converse, nor do they
make allowances for mistakes.
Hopefully BARTG will in future be far more efficient and this new system will
add to everybody's enjoyment.
I look forward to working you in the forthcoming Sprint 75.
Regards from Roger, G3LDI
BARTG Chairman
Swardeston, Norfolk.
