[CQ-Contest] New Super Check Partial Files Available VER20051015 (15 Oct 05)

[Randy Thompson, K5ZD]

There is a new release of the Super Check Partial database files available
at http://www.k5zd.com/scp/

Thanks to everyone who responded to my recent call for logs.  The 2095 logs
submitted is a new record.

This set of files was based on 2,848,651 QSOs from 2,095 submitted logs
(data set contains 114,824 unique calls). The master.dta file now contains a
record high 39,878 calls (almost 1000 more than the last file set)!

You can download the files individually or in a complete package as a zip
file. 

There is also a link to the list of contributed logs - thanks to all those
who volunteered their logs for the project. If you are using the SCP files,
you really should be contributing yours as well!  It's as easy as sending
your Cabrillo files to k5zd at contesting.com.

I continue to receive requests asking to add calls to the master files.  As
the process is highly automated, I am unable to fulfill these requests.  My
goal is that the master file contains active contest calls. If you want your
call in the master file, get on the air in some contests and work people!  

The release history page lists the statistics for each release and provides
a great example of how the increasing number of logs is helping to improve
the database.

The next release will be in November in advance of the CQ WW CW contest.
Please send me your logs from the CQ WW Phone and SS Contests at the same
time you submit them to the contest sponsors.
