[CQ-Contest] WANTED: Logs for Contest Master Callsign Database 2000

With the 1998-1999 contest season fast approaching, it's time to update the 
master callsign database that is used by CT, NA and TR logging 
programs.  This database helps people match partial callsigns using their 
logging program's "Super Check Partial" feature, even if you haven't worked 
that call yet.

This year, I only need logs from the 1998-1999 contest season.  This includes:

         CQWW (October and November 1998)
         ARRL Sweepstakes (November 1998)
         ARRL DX (February and March 1999)
         CQ WPX (March and May 1999)
         IARU HF Championship (July 1999)

Of course, logs from the 10 meter and 160 meter contests, All Asia, and WAE 
are also welcome.

I especially need logs from Europe, Asia and the many DXpeditions that were 
active.  This way we'll get a good balance of stateside as well as DX 
callsigns in the database.

If you sent your CQWW log electronically, and you have a "UBN" page on the 
cqww.com web server, just send me your password (CW and/or SSB) and I'll 
download the log from there, no need to E-mail it to me.

I prefer to receive original .BIN files from CT.  If you are using NA or 
TR, please send me the ASCII-formatted log file instead.  You can send the 
log file to me as an attachment from your E-mail program.  Please note the 
contest name, date and callsign used in your E-mail message (it makes it 
easier for me to put the file in the right place).  I don't have an FTP 
site for uploading log files, but might be able to work something out if 
there is enough demand.

A week or two before the CQWW Phone contest, I will announce the location 
of the updated master callsign files.

Please send logs and any comments or questions to <jjreisert at alum.mit.edu>. 
I will try to acknowledge every log I receive, usually within a day or two.

Thanks again for your continued cooperation in this effort.
