First I need to apologize for some of the continuing issues we are
experiencing with receiving logs for the August NAQP SSB Contest.
Early during the log submission period the server the log receiving
robot resides on developed problems. As many found it it was difficult
to submit your log when this occurred. After this was fixed we
discovered that some logs did not get forwarded to the proper locations.
The log was not lost, it just was not entered into the working folder.
Then last week when I was reviewing the round of I discovered some calls
missing from the results. Investigate I found that some logs received
after 0600 UTC on Aug 20 did not get copied to the log checkers working
folder.
This morning to correct that issue we copied 173 logs over into the log
checkers working folder. The saga continues. I now find that some of
these logs had the "END OF LOG" statement removed from the log in the
transfer.
Trust me I am painstakingly working on this to make sure everyone's
score makes it into the results and that it is accurate.
Again, I'm sorry about these continued problems.

I should have added, for those getting messages such as " Missing "END OF
LOG:" statement; please so not attempt to resend the log. We have the
correct original log and will get this into the log checking process. When we
do
this it may generate another confirmation email. Just ignore the part
about being after deadline.
Again I'm sorry for the confusion this is creating. Just be assured the
NAQP team is working hard to make sure we complete and accurate results.

Ed,
I have found that arrival personnel don't care much about licenses, CEPT
permits, etc. Your biggest problem travelling with radio gear is going to be
customs. I'd advise you to seek out a local baggage handler to help with
your bags when you get them off the plane. Having a local seems to "breeze"
the luggage through without as many questions. It's no guarantee, but it's
usually worth the cost of a few bucks per bag. If customs does start asking
questions, don't lie about the value of your radio. They are now using the
internet to look up the values. In my opinion, it's best to offer to pay a
bond up front with the understanding you will be taking the equipment when
you leave. They will give you lots of official looking papers with stamps
and signatures. Often they will make notes in your passport of what you
brought in. There are times that it has taken me days to jump through all of
the hoops.
I would advise that you run your itinerary of countries that you plan to
visit by this group or a similar forum. Chances are, someone has been to
that location recently and can advise you. I've also found that customs
experiences can be very different based on time of day, your attitude, and
random
luck-of-the-draw. Just be prepared for problems, and hope you can avoid
them.
I am concerned about the new regulations that our own beloved TSA has put
into place in the past few months. Supposedly we now have to demonstrate
that the gear will power up to prove it is not a terrorist device. If we
can't power it up to their satisfaction, it gets confiscated. It's happened to
cell phones and computers. I haven't heard of any problems YET with ham
stuff. At the very least, I will have to stop my usual practice of packing a
transceiver and power supply in different cases.
73,
Will AA4NC

I am just getting ready to leave on my first mini Dxpedition and started
to wonder, and worry, how many problems will I face traveling with all sorts
of radio equipment and electronics?
For those that routinely make these treks either for contests or
DXpeditions, are you faced with grueling questions on why you have this
equipment
and do you have to explain the whole DXpedition idea. Should I expect that "I
am traveling for pleasure purposes and will be using amateur radio while
here" should suffice? Of course having the necesary travel documenst and
copies of radio licenses goes without saying?
With contest and DXpedition season about to kick off, is there any other
travel advice from the veterans out there.
Regards
Ed. VE4EAR
