[RTTY] callsign/callsign DQ

[Stu Phillips]

Worry not!

Although I don’t have experience with the log checking software used in WPX, I understand that logs are scored based on their “stability” – a log which causes multiple busts in other logs gets declared unstable and is omitted from the log checking process.

So, if a specific log causes too many problems when cross checking other logs, it gets kicked out.

From my log checking experience with other contests (where I have been a log checker, writer of the software, manufacturer of the sausage so to speak), this is just one of many issues a specific log can create and just one example of why it might get kicked into touch (Rugby expression ;-) when all else fails.

Besides, the contest manager is a known reader of this reflector and likely already has added WE2ASS to his list of things to check.

With a blatant PLUG for the October Makrothen RTTY Contest (see https://www.pl259.org/makrothen), rest assured, the software that cross checks the logs scores each log for stability and the high runners are examined and eliminated as appropriate!

The callsign cracks me up – although TWO rather than one is a mind twister!

    Problem is Hank is that he originally started the contest just sending 
    WE2ASS. No other call was used.
    
    And agreed... That is the proper way to do it. See my earlier post where I 
    used to do it as a Novice.
