I am pleased to announce that an online score database of all entries for the CQ 160M Contest is now available and live on the web site. There have been 66,311 entries since the contest first started back in 1960.
I must thank a group of people that are most responsible for making this new resource available to the contest community. They typed the 30,456 scores from 1960 to 2004. Thanks to AA4NU, CT1EKD, K1XX, K5ZD, K8FC, K9GX, K9VV, KC1CWF, KE3X, MM0LID, N1XS, NN3W, OR2F, SV1DPI, W0MU, and W4AU. With so many years of typing, we are sure to have made some mistakes. The printed magazine results often did not include the calls of guest operators. We are looking for your help to confirm the quality of the data entry. ACTION>> Please go to http://cq160.com and type your call(s) into the search box. You will see a list of every entry that callsign was included. Is the callsign correct? Is the QTH and zone correct? Is the category correct? Does the score, QSOs, and mults look right? If you see an error, please reply to me with the call, year, and explanation of what needs to be corrected. Send to [email protected]. One of the best things about the new database is that you can see the scoring records for every category for world, continent, and country. Electronic certificates are also available for everyone that submitted an entry in 2000 and later. Thanks again to AA4NU, CT1EKD, K1XX, K5ZD, K8FC, K9GX, K9VV, KC1CWF, KE3X, MM0LID, N1XS, NN3W, OR2F, SV1DPI, W0MU, and W4AU for all of their assistance. And to N2NT for serving as Director for the CQ 160 contest. 73 Randy, K5ZD PS - Please forward this email to your contest club so others can enjoy the database and help with the accuracy checking. _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
