[UK-CONTEST] Logs for 2010 IARU 50MHz Contest....a first time user!

[Nigel G3TXF]

Thanks Steve,

A couple of observations from a first-time user:

1. The RSGB VHF Log Up-Load page lists "50MHz Trophy
Contest"", but I was looking for something with "IARU" in
the name of the contest!

2. Confusingly the RSGB Claimed Scores Table appears to
Multiply the "Score" by the "Squares" to get the "Total
Score" for the RSGB's "50MHZ Trophy Contest", whereas the
"IARU 50MHz Contest" (which is what I thought I was
entering!) itself does not do this multiplication.

73 - Nigel G3TXF

Subject: Re: [UK-CONTEST] Logs for 2010 IARU 50MHz
Contest....via RSGB (then to UBA)?

All logs received for the 50MHz trophy are automatically
sent forward to the IARU contest unless the entrant
specifies otherwise. In the past, when logs were handled
manually (be it paper or electronic) non-RSGB members who
wanted to enter the IARU contest would send in a logs with a
request to forward it. The robot entry system makes it less
clear what happens but all logs uploaded will be forwarded -
any from non-RSGB members will be flagged up by the
membership checker and left out of the 50MHz trophy.

 From next year, IARU R1 is proposing logs will be entered
via the IARU robot entry system, with the option for
individuals to submit their own entries. At first glance it
appears that it will be difficult or impractical for entries
to the RSGB contest to be forwarded in this way.

Hope that helps.
