[Mldxcc] RE: [NCCC] Section info

To second that, I noticed during practice last night that some of our own
guys' sections were different from last year. I noticed because I was using
the Preset Exchange feature.

W0YK and others have warned those using this feature to PAY ATTENTION and
not get lazy and presume that the preset info is correct. I am disciplining
myself to hit the space bar and track the info as sent to ensure accuracy,
and to be ready to immediately change an entry, if necessary.

See you all at tonight's practice at 7 PM.

Garry, NI6T

Let's not forget to get the section designator correct. Looking at my
LCRs from previous SS contests, I find ops putting SCV for SV, etc.

Sacramento Valley= SV
Santa Clara Valley= SCV
San Joaquin Valley= SJV
South Florida= SFL
San Francisco= SF
etc.,

There are probably others that can be confused...if you're not sure,
make a note and correct before submitting your logs. At a thousand Qs,
an error rate of 2 % represents 20 Qs or about 15-20 minutes of
operating time.

Every little bit helps...KB,
