[CQ-Contest] Scoring for Colorado QSO Party

[Dick-w0raa]

First, I would like to thank all of those who read this and gave me a 
contact in the Colorado QSO Party (COQP).  It was the first one and the 
participation sounded pretty good, albeit the bands were definitely NOT in 
the best shape.  I had to ask for many repeats, and I certainly appreciated 
the patience of the individuals.  Some of the contacts were like a half an S 
Unit above mental telepathy, but they are in the log correctly, I feel 
confident.  Again, thanks.

Now, that being said, the contesting software (N1MM, WriteLog, etc.), did 
not count Colorado Counties as multipliers.  It was a last minute change and 
the developers just didn't have time to get it done.  So, please submit your 
Cabrillo files to the following e-mail address:  coqplogs at ppraa.org.  DO NOT 
change anything in your Cabrillo files, nor change the score that your 
software of choice gave you.   That will be calculated by the judging 
committee and the changes will be made.  You may also mail your score to: 
Colorado QSO Party, PO Box 16521, Colorado Springs, CO  80935-6521.    It is 
OK if you wish to edit your Cabrillo file by adding, to the right of the 
claimed score line with the comment that the total does not include Colorado 
County Multipliers.  See below:

CLAIMED-SCORE: xxxxx  (DOES NOT INCLUDE CO COUNTY MULTIPLIERS).
Please don't add anything to your Cabrillo file except the above comment 
enclosed in the parenthesis (  ).

The system will not kick these back to you.

We hope that many more will participate in the COQP next year.  It looks to 
be a success.

73,

PS:  This is being sent to any reflector that I feel might read it and a 
member wants to submit their score.  Sorry for any duplication postings.
