Subject: Raw Scores On Internet and How to do them
Message-ID: <2.2.16.19960923140135.1d47da48 at interpath.com>
- POSTING SCORES ON INTERNET -
As in the past years I will be posting scores for contests, SSB, CW, RTTY,
on Internet. I thought I would post these guidelines that may help both of
us to make it work and understand.
1. Remember these scores are NOT OFFICIAL!!! They are just a reference to
see where you may have placed. Also remember everyone is not on here.
2. Please do not send me any logs. I am not affiliated with any of the
contest sponsors. I am only doing this as a service to the ham
community.
3. Make SURE that when you send in your scores you send them to me
complete. I get so many that just say Single Op. Please send me your
score just the way you want it posted. Do not assume that I know you
always work anything. If I get only Single Op I will put you in Single
Op Assisted.
4. As far as format that will change with every contest. If you wait till
the first posting you will see what I am using. The best format to
follow is the summary sheet from CT, NR, or TR. That is really all I
need unless it is a contest with breakdowns.
5. Please put your scores at the top of your posting. Just takes me a
while to go through your entire story to find your scores. Also make
sure your call is at the top. Sometimes I have to read down a long
story just to get the call.
6. Make sure that you complete all your calculations. I will not add up
scores for you. I have to work with hundreds of scores and you with
only one. If they come to me not added up I will not post them.
7. I DO make mistakes. If I make one on your score, just send me email and
I will correct it. Please do not yell and scream like some did last
year. Remember these are your scores and I will put you anywhere you
want to be. I know sometimes people misunderstand classes and all but
it is not my job to figure it out. I only put down what you say. If you
do not agree that someone is in the right class please email them and
not me.
8. Another big help I think to all would be to make your subject line
relfect your scores. Like: WA4ZXA CQWW SSB Scores. This will help me
sort the scores and also people who do not care to read them will know
what they are. I might be doing two contests at one time and putting
the contest in the title really helps me.
9. Do NOT post any scores to the Contest Reflector! Post them to the 3830
reflector or email them to me direct. The compiled scores will be
posted on the Contest Reflector and Rtty Reflectore for rtty tests.
10. I will only correct scores or change a score when I receieve the
correction directly from the person with the score. I know a lot want
to help but I will only change your score if YOU want me to.
11. Please NO ATTACHMENTS! Do not attach any scores to mailings. I will not
post these scores. If you do not have the time to type into an email
form or just cut and paste I do not have time to post them. I have to
get out of windows and my multi-tasking to get your score. Remember I
am doing hundreds of scores and not just yours.
12. I will make a note that the next posting will be the final one for that
contest. Once the final posting is made I will not change it. Remember
these are not official so if they are wrong they will not make a
difference to the real outcome.
I am sure there will be some things pop us as contest season goes on. I
will post how to correct them at the bottom of the score posting. Please
read these incase something has come up. I will do my best to work with
everyone and comply with your requests but some are just to much. I use a
word processor so all the math is done by hand. Feel free to take them and
come up with any calculations that you need.
Good Luck this season and hope to work all of you.
73's

Message-ID: <3247327D.336A at igr.nl>
The PA team currently active as J79BP,RC,QA,WP from Dominica in the
carribean asked me to bring the following to your attention:
- The team will be a Multi-Single entry in the CQ WW RTTY Contest.
The callsign used during this activity will be J77C.
QSL to PA3ERC (like all QSL for the 1996 Caribbean tour)
- Before they left for the Caribbean the team received several requests
to pay attention to 40 m SSB in the USA band, especially from J7.
Despite several tries not a single qso with USA on 40 SSB is in
the log. The numerous CW qso's show that 40 m is in very good shape
towarts the USA every evening. They will continue their tries.
Transmitting frequency will mainly be around 7048.
Apart from some power failures the team is doing very well. The total

Subject: All Asia DX SSB From "The Other Side"
Message-ID: <Pine.SOL.3.95.960923133019.9765B-100000 at y.glue.umd.edu>
THE ALL ASIA SSB FROM "THE OTHER SIDE"
During my stay in Thailand this year I obtained permission to use
the Radio Amateur Society of Thailand's club station for the All
Asia SSB DX Contest using my personal call HS0ZAR. Though
conditions at this point in the sunspot cycle are bad all over, I
knew that April and September are the best months for propagation
"over the pole" from the East Coast to Thailand.
Club station manager HS1CHB picked me up on Friday night and took
me to the club station site, located on the campus of the Asian
Institute of Technology about 10 miles north of Bangkok airport.
The contest begins at 0700 Saturday morning Thailand time so I
played around on 40 CW at sunset Friday night hoping to give a few
of the needy Zone 26 on 40. Conditions were not all that good
however and I only dragged the big stations, K1MEM, N4AR and a
couple of others through the rainy season's QRN. Plenty of JA's
got through, however.
At 0000 GMT I was ready to go on 20 SSB with the 80-foot-high
TH7DXX over the North Pole but after one CQ brought a WA2 there
weren't many other answers. And what there were were JA's who
didn't realize that HS is part of Asia. Guess the USA gang didn't
realize the band was open. I looked around 20 and found just a few
non-Asians running JA's -- KH0/JH1UUT, DU1SAN, VK9XB -- and though
it was no problem to break through the piles, things went pretty
slow. None of the bands were open to Europe yet. A look at 15
found three VK's knocking them off, nothing else. At around 0145
GMT the South Americans -- ZP, LU, CP -- began to come through on
15. But they were few and far between and I created a non-contest
pile-up of JA's just to keep myself amused. Every now and then a
South American would break through and I could coax a number from
him. At 0400 I only had 16 contest QSO's and then things picked up
a bit as UA4's started coming in on 15 and 20.
Finally at 0700 with 40 QSO's in the log enough of Europe was in
daylight so that I got my first run going on 15. The band dropped
out at 0740 and came back again about 0820. This time the run was
for real and continued for hours, but Bangkok's daily rainy-season
afternoon series of thunderstorms made me QRT every now and then
when lightning flashes got too close. Almost all the callers were
Europeans but the occasional 5Z4, Z28 or S79 would call in. Also
Asians who were not aware I could not work them for points. How
many times in a single contest have you had to tell three different
S21's that, sorry, you were not allowed to work them in the
contest? Since I was paper-logging it was not hard to log the
Asians anyhow in case any of them needed an HS QSL. I knocked out
the contest log later on my sister-in-law's computer back at the
house.
At about 1100 GMT I realized that 20 was getting ready to open to
the East Coast but the run of Europeans on 15 didn't let up and
everyone was telling me I was the loudest thing on that band so I
decided to hang in there until 15 closed. Finally at 1307 the band
closed with 356 QSO's in the log, the last being SM4GNU. At around
1200 I got mad for the only time in the contest when 9A3NQ called
me, gave me a long song-and-dance about how he wasn't in the
contest, hated contests, and asked for my name and QSL information.
It gave me great pleasure at that point to indicate that I had
clearly called "CQ contest" and that if he wasn't in the contest he
should not have called me; I then coined a phrase: "No contest
number, no QSL" and he quickly got the point. After saying "oh
boy" a couple of times he came across with a number.
The minute I got on 20 E21CJN across town informed me that he had
been running the East Coast and South America solid there for two
hours. I went to work there at 1330 with W9HRQ and even though
K4MZU and W4MWT were booming in as usual I had obviously missed the
best part of the East Coast opening and outside of a few Midwest
QSO's what was coming in now was Europe. I ran mostly Europeans
until about 1500 when 20 closed abruptly with my QSO total standing
at about 450.
What was left was 40 meters which was a mess. By this time the
European SSB Field Day had begun and local QRM in Europe kept all
but the best-equipped Europeans from hearing me, and even with an
inverted vee with the apex at about 70 feet on my end, it was S&P
all night long with meagre results. Besides, I couldn't hear very
well either with the loud Iranian broadcast station on 7070, being
jammed by the Iraqis, with audio cranked up to overcome the jamming
creating parasitics on audio peaks which spread out all over the
band. Another BC/jamming combination on 7105 wasn't doing much
good for the portion of the band between 7080 and 7100 either. The
JA's weren't having much luck either; I only heard JA8NFV, who I
believe has a 3-el monobander on 40, running stations with
regularity.
Finally at 2000 the bothersome BC stations went off and at the same
time a few LU's showed up on the band working the contest; they
were comparatively easy to work, as was the odd African that came
on. At 2345 20 finally opened with WA2VUY and beginning 0015, with
a grand total of 475 QSO's to show for the first half of the
contest, I was able to run the East Coast pretty well. A lot of
people had obviously learned about the contest since the night
before! At 0130 GMT with 524 QSOs in my log the opening ended. I
might add that I was not running at full blast the whole time since
I felt compelled to have a few words with many of my friends who
called, conditions being so good. What was left after the East
Coast dropped out were a few locals like a V63 and some YB's, so I
decided to have a little shut-eye while waiting for the European
opening on 15.
At about that time one of Thailand's eager young contesters, 18-
year-old E21LLR, showed up at the station, so I let him operate
until 0900 when I took over again. He wasn't going to send in a
contest log anyhow so he was happy to give the unsuspecting JA's
and HL's who called a contest number, and later knocked off a
number of stations in Europe and the Middle East before I got on
again.
At 0920 I began running Europe on 15 with 535 QSO's now in the log.
Conditions today were not all that great to Europe, however, and at
1100, having only increased my QSO total to 555, I switched to 20
to catch the beginning of the East Coast opening. The first to
answer my CQ was FT5WE! (I had also worked FT5WF earlier). It's an
easy shot from Thailand. I was surprised from the ages given that
both of these guys are in their early 20's.
It took until 1122 for the first USA to come through, K2QBV. About
1205 I finally found a frequency that worked and then the pile
began to form. By 1300 I was up to 629 QSO's, almost all those in
the last two hours being from the USA, with the W4's predominating.
It was great to have one of my mentors and gurus, Ed, W3AU, call
in. At 1402 I was called by myself, as Rana, WB4NFO, went over to
my QTH so I could hear how the K3ZO signal sounded. By then it
seemed I had worked just about all of my DX'er/contester neighbors
and about half of the PVRC members. At 1421, with 705 QSO's in the
log, I worked my last W in the opening, as the band shifted to
Europe.
>From then until 1455 the European pile-up continued briskly and
then the Europeans abruptly dropped out, leaving V51E calling me
all alone. He said he had been calling for several minutes trying
to get me through the pile with my beam on Europe. After a couple
more African QSO's 20 went completely dead at 1504 and I went to 40
with 748 QSO's in the log. 40 being in its usual sad state, after
one QSO with a YB I went to bed. At 1900 I was back on the band
and in an hour of S&P I added 10 QSO's to the log -- all Europeans
that I had called in vain the night before when the European Field
Day had been on. By 2200 I had added eight more CE's and LU's to
the log and was up to a QSO total of 769.
With nothing else happening, I listened to the Philippine Net begin
on 7045 at 2230 GMT and monitored for a while. There are a lot
more DU's on the air than you think! When things got slow for them
I called in and managed a couple more numbers from DU stations.
At 23:30 20 opened with K6DR answering my CQ.
No East Coast on this opening today, so I ended the last half hour
of the contest with QSO's from DU1, VE7, C21 and KO6, and ended the
contest with a grand total of 776 QSO's. Fifteen and twenty were
almost a dead heat with just over 350 QSO's each, and forty brought
up the rear with around 40 QSO's. E21CJN, who had stayed mostly on
20, reported 390 QSO's with the USA alone and was quite pleased
with that. The great bulk of them were W4's, he added. I recall
doing an All Asian Phone DX Contest from HS1ABD in 1979, ending up
at that time with about 1100 QSO's, so the difference between high
and low sunspot years must be about 350 QSO's. Anyway, it was
interesting to see how things work out from the other side of the
world.

It appears this is a SERIOUS problem for some of us, who
did not notice the box to check.
I recv'd exactly the same notice as Roy thru my web check
of the system. And right now, 1:43 pm, EDT, I am still
getting the same message on 9/23. This, apparently means
that NO ONE from the Mellon Band is going to the window,
or whatever they have to do to sign for Ex Mail sent, as was
mine without the little box check which would waive the recipient'
signature requirement!!
Since Millon Band people apparently don't want to bother signing
for their Express Mail, one wonders what to do now, call
the Bank, and urge them to go sign for their mail??
What number would I call?

Just got off the phone with Chris in the mail room, Mellon
Bank, he logs in all registered and express mail, requiring
bank signatuers for delivery. A representative of the bank,
who works in the same dept. that handles the lock box receipts,
did, in fact sign for ALL rcv'd Ex Mail on the weekend at the POB
Office, has delivered same to the bank mail room.
Chris asked for my US Postal Ex Mail receipt number;
he left the line a few minutes, returned and
reported that my package is there, and is logged
in!! So all is well in Pittsburgh and on Kauai, at least
for my little concer:. one who didn't check the box
waiving signature req.
BTW, got to the Mail Room at the Bank via their customer
service 800 number posted at the bank's web site: 1-800-
635-5662.

Ok, but where do we draw the line between "information" and "soliciting".
To me knowing someone will be active during a contest is information. It
tells me to look for them or to watch for a spot.
However, seeing a packet spot during a contest that says "we need QSOs on
14,195" is soliciting. The same is true of a phone call or e-mail telling
me to get on the air and make a contact so someone can get another point or
two in the contest.

Subject: Looking for info about "TR"
Message-ID: <3246E2B4.57BB at worldnet.att.net>
Anybody know if any magazine has done a review of "TR"?
Also, what the current email address for it?
Do they have a Web Site?
I've looked around but can't find much except for an ad in NCJ.
Any comments about using it would be helpful also.
Thanks
Larry
Hope this passes for contest related!!!

JIm,
I did not check off the signature box on my Express Mail sent Friday
afternoon about 4:00 PM EDT and when checking on the WWW found that
it was marked delivered at 11:00 AM EDT Saturday as expected.

FWIW, I didn't check the little box either, but, checking
the Express Mail tracking number on the Web page, it says my
application was delivered Saturday at 2:45 PM.

Submitted mine via fcc web page at 12:20am. Called FCC this morning and was
advised that all 610's received today would be placed in the computer and
randomly chosen for order. She said that it would not matter how it was
submitted or what time it was submitted on Monday. All will be chosen by
the computer in random order.
