[UK-CONTEST] HFCC info pls

[G3SJJ]

I fully back Don and Alan's comments.

Alan, apologies. Yes, you also get the brickbats like mine.

Also, it does hurt when I see comments on a website refering to something
which I have acknowledged was not my best, but which was done voluntarily
during a time of intense domestic stress, ie coping with my dying mother
whilst
my wife was working 80 to 80 hours a week, and of course working a full
week myself. But then I did volunteeer to do the work and the show must go
on.

My point on the claimed scores was not aimed at yourself, because I am sure
you will have worked hard to produce them. The important thing is that they
now
appear on the website and are not held back by some idealogical dogma.

Just to reinforce Don's compehensive reply...

I am the newest member on the HFCC having started earlier this year.
I responded to a plea on this reflector by Dave G4BUO for help and, as it
turned out, it was suggested I join the committee.

I took on adjudication of SSB FD this year.  The logs arrived slightly later
than expected, while I was away on a business trip.  Even though I could
access email I was very busy at the time.

Needless to say it is soul destroying in these circumstances when someone
posts on the group that according to a schedule of their own the "claimed
scores" are late !
[Rest assured, Chris, that I DID tabulate the SSB FD claimed scores within
a couple of days and they will be made public at the HF Convention.]

Luckily, I don't have quite the volume of logs to analyse as Don did for
IOTA.


Thanks for your interest by the way, Tim.  These were perfectly reasonable
questions.  It is difficult to judge how openly discussion should be carried
out.
