Virginia has a number of "cities" that with governments that are
separate from the sometimes-surrounding counties.  A QSO can
be counted -once- for the county, even though the station is in
the city.

I believe the state is unique in this respect.

Re: [Dx4win] cut numbers?

2017-07-28 Thread Ken G Kopp

5NN is a cut number for a 599 signal report, for example.

A long dash is a number zero.

Cut numbers serve as time savers in contests.  There are other ways to save
milliseconds ... which add up to minutes.

You don't win contests with courtesy.  I can make another contact while
you're saying "73, and good luck in the contest"

 That I can understand if the QSO already is in the log.

 I looked at one of the QSOs. Here the Grid in the ADIF file from Clublog is
 different from the Grid at QRZ.com. Could that be the reason?

[Dx4win] Data from callbooks

2013-07-21 Thread Ken G Kopp

Use caution.  Many listings are incorrect in that they reflect
the information taken from FCC license data.  Many listings
are grossly in error, especially when the licensee hasn't
corrected the listing.

As an example, I am the trustee of a decades-old call
(W7VNE) that to anyone's knowledge has -never- been
on the air from it's listed county -or- grid square.  It's
been used on FD for over 40 years, but from an adjacent
county.

Not sure how current their delay announcements are, as a CQWW log
uploaded on 12/1 has yet to be processed.

But on the other hand, DXCC submissions via LoTW are super-fast. Submitted
my annual update last evening at 8:40 and had all accredited at 9:49.

So some parts are working well

Agreed - 8 days 14 hours! At the current rate of growth the

2012/12/02 05:002012/12/10 19:318 14:31:29

The delay is growing out of control - between 12/1 and 112/2
there were 2.5 times as many QSOs uploaded as LotW processed
and LotW has been processing an *average* of 11,000 QSOs per
minute or about 264,000 QSOs per day based on the information
on the home page.

If one plots a trend line, the delay is growing exponentially.
The trend indicates a file uploaded *today* is not likely to
be processed *for more than five weeks* based on the current
rate of growth in the backlog. Based on the processing time
for files uploaded at 0500z on 12/2, there were about 2.25
million unprocessed QSOs in the queue at that time - and that
was 48 hours *after* the deadline for submitting CQWW CW logs.
With the trend in growth between 11/25 and 12/2, the queue could
hold as many *10 million* unprocessed QSOs (although that is
unlikely)!

I know the folks in Newington are saying trust us, but their
performance - and complete failure to provide *current data* -
particularly the failure to provide accurate current status on
the size of the processing queue - makes trust very difficult.

[Dx4win] LoTW / W3IZ matter

2012-03-14 Thread Ken G Kopp

My thanks to all who responded to my question on
dealing with Norm, W3IZ at the LoTW desk.

It appears that he's difficult for most and a saint for
a couple of you. (:-))

I have 61 years of logs that I've spent hundreds of hours
entering into DX4WIN.  The project started when LoTW
was created and I'd been looking forward to uploading
the data into LoTW.

I spent several weeks pushing on the LoTW rope and
then called Newington for help.  Unfortunately, it was
Norm who took my call.  No doubt the problem is mine,
but as many of you mentioned the program -is- difficult.

Perhaps the tone of my dealings with Norm was set when,
as a matter of introduction I mentioned that I've been a friend
of Wayne Mills, N7NG for many years.  (Wayne ran the LoTW
program for a few of years)  His reply was; I'll try to not hold
that against you.  Unfortunately that appears to have been a
serious comment.  Norm is definately not suited to be a help
desk staffer.

I have 308 CW DXCC credits, but there's a few more in my
logs that I'd enjoy having credit for, but it's not a big deal.

Again, thank you all for your responses, and ...

73!
