[CQ-Contest] 2011 SAC CW - All 3830 Claimed Scores 20Sep2011

[Kim Östman]

Dear Barry,

Sorry to hear about the troubles that you've had with 
the log robot. We've done our best, but unavoidably
some glitches always remain. It was a well "attended" 
SAC CW this time, and we're very happy to have seen over 
650 logs uploaded so far.

I'm not sure where the URL you tried with first 
originates from; all organizer-directed communication 
regarding this year's SAC has steered participants 
directly to the main page at http://www.sactest.net, 
which is what we hope people will use.

Please try the upload form once more by clicking
"Upload contest log" in the top right corner of the
main page. After selecting the log file and uploading 
it, a new form should open where you confirm your address 
info and category data. Any problems with the Cabrillo 
will automatically be highlighted in the "QSO" tab. The
log with accompanying participant data is then submitted 
by pressing "Confirm log registration" on the form, after 
which a few seconds will pass while the robot calculates 
your claimed score, and a new window opens indicating that 
log submission has been successful. This will result in
your entry being listed in the Claimed scores.

If there are still troubles, please send the Cabrillo log 
by e-mail to sacsupport at sral.fi, where it will be taken 
care of and added to the database.

I hope this helps. See you on SSB on 8-9 October!

1. Using this url in N7WA's fine claimed score report

http://www.sactest.net/hflogupload.php

gets this response:

Thank you very much for your participation in Scandinavian Activity Contest
- 2010. The gate is closed and no more logs will be accepted

2. Using the "UPLOAD CONTEST LOG" finger at

http://www.sactest.net/

and clicking on the CW contest, and browsing to populating the filename with
w5gn.log (since the form did not let me type in that filename) and clicking
on UPLOAD clears the window, and with no clue as to whether the log was or
was not accepted.

3. The first time I attempted to upload, I did get an error about invalid
parenthesis, because I had parens in my comments, but I still did not get
feedback that the log was or was not accepted.

4. No big deal, since my 99 watts get lumped in with the HP stations, as
there is no Low Power Assisted category.

5. But, as I commented - it was a log of fun, and there seemed to be LOTS of
SSB ops who took the time to use CW, based on the number of very slow speed
stations (which is fine, and why I had parens in my comments).
