Hello guys; Please note this message from N6TR, a log checker for
various contests. Please use the standard names for our clubs exactly
as follows:
Alabama Contest Group
South East Contest Club
Southeastern DX Club.
Do not use abbreviations or other alternative spellings.
Keep up the good work, guys. 73, John, K4BAI.
One of the most frustrating activities with checking contest logs has to
do with club names. To illustrate this - here are some club names that
might all be from the same club:
5255609 45 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB
1162369 13 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB (BCC)
1048526 2 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB - BCC
256754 3 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB BCC
23052 1 BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB, BCC
445932 2 BAVARIAN-CONTES-CLUB (BCC)
30073 1 BAVARIEN CONTEST CLUB
319440 2 BC DX CLUB
3473644 28 BCC
34599 2 BCC (BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB)
2682214 8 BCC - BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB
691972 5 BCC BAVARIAN CONTEST CLUB
28644 1 BCC, BAVARIN CONTEST CLUB
163482 1 BCDX CLUB
8664 1 BDXC
This will probably take about 30 mintues to fix.
One idea I have been toying with is somehow assigning a numeric ID for
any club that wants one and having them use that. At least that way,
the spelling will mostly be the same.
In the mean time - it would reall help if people could try to come up
with a standard way to enter a club name - and try to get their members
to follow it. That would save the poor log checker a LOT of time.
The risk is that some versions of the club name will not be recognized
and part of your club score won't count.
