[RTTY] RTTY DXCC via LoTW - New Web Page - take a look!

[Andrei Stchislenok]

Good morning Group:

Please take a look at:

http://www.k4fo.com/cqrtty/

Thanks to my friend Palmer, K4FO. It should be easy to register for
everyone, but please read "Instructions" if necessary.
This is very first, "beta" version 0.01. PLease email your questions,
suggestions, opinions to Palmer at "cqrtty at k4fo dotcom, or to myself.
Welcome to the List!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. It's not super pretty, but it should work.

2. Before initial score submission, users MUST REGISTER.  Here's the story
with that:
       a. Click the "Register Now!" link at the top of the page
       b. All fields on registration screen must be filled out.  Upon
registration, tell everyone to MAKE SURE that they remember their callsign
and password.  This is the only way at this point to update the page.
       c. The "Image verification" is absolutely necessary.  With all the
nefarious activity on the web these days, this is one way to prevent robots
from filling the database with junk entries.  Sorry, it might be a pain in
the you-know-what, but it needs to be done...

3. Once the "Register!" button is clicked, the main page with ratings should
be displayed.  The newly-entered callsign and LoTW confirmation should be
there!

4. To update the number of confirmations, go to the main URL above, and
enter the information in the boxes at the top of the page.  Callsign,
password, image text, and new number of DXCC entities confirmed via LoTW.

Additionally, here are some points to consider:

1.  There is currently no "what is my password" or "change my password"
option.  Remember, this page is "Version 0.01" - I will get around to the
password stuff soon, but in the meantime... make sure you READ and FOLLOW
step 2.b above :)

2.  There is currently no indication of "Country Leader" or similar.  I
wanted to get this thing working, and adding every country's prefix for
calculation just hasn't been done.  It's tedious, and I procrastinate...
hence, there will be a delay in getting this part working :)

3.  Questions or comments may be emailed to me.  I guess I should say "lost
passwords" can be emailed to me also, but please... remember rule 2.b !! :)
Until there is a mechanism for operators to update their information, I
guess I have to handle these things on a case-by-case basis.

4.  I have not thought of a miracle way to import all existing information
and send out the appropriate info - so it may just be easier to have the
participants just go input their information initially.

5.  If anyone has any comments or suggestions about this site, please do not
hesitate to contact me.  I will be sure to share them with the community and
see what people think...

Have fun, will talk to you soon!  Feel free to post this to the reflector so
we can start the 'testing period'
