Comment:

I am confused by some of the claimed scores posted.  First, the
http://www.hornucopia.com/3830score/ only has a form for the BARTG Sprint
RTTY contest and I don't think it is the same as BARTG HF RTTY Contest.  I
just checked the scoring rules at

http://www.bartg.demon.co.uk/Contests/06_rules.htm

=================
Multipliers:

All DXCC countries (including JA, W, VE and VK) and all JA, W, VE and VK
areas count as multipliers on each band. Any country or JA, W, VE or VK area
may be counted again if worked on a different band, but continents are
counted once only. U.S. stations must use correct call or suffix for area of
operation.

Scoring:

QSO points x multipliers x continents (max 6).
=================

The 3830 format for the Sprint has boxes for countries and continents.  Some
of the claimed scores are showing more than six continents and it looks to
me that each JA, W, VE and VK call area counts as a multiplier on each band.
Also noticed BARTG has a SOAB but no SOAB low or high power catagory.

I had 300 QSO's and will submit the log and let the BARTG robot sort out the
score.  Thanks for all of the QSO's and it is always nice to work a new RTTY
country in a contest.  TNX to TY5MR for the new one!  I plan to upload the
aa5vu.log file to LoTW.

The contest was a part time effort when I had time and I had fun.  TNX to
all for the QSOs.
