Would anyone be interested in a contest that you had to pay a $20 entry fee?
I am still working on the rules.
1-10 place would get a HF radio for there prize as long as I get enough
operators enter the contest to cover the cost of the prizes it should work.

Weirder still, it appears to belong to ES7GM. I don't know about domestic
ES amateur radio regulations, but in most countries if one is a resident OR
if one holds a license issued by that country, only that license can be
used for all operations -- one cannot use license from another country
"portable". Certainly one CANNOT use the CEPT agreement in this manner.
CEPT explicitly applies only to non-residents of a country during a
temporary stay.

Looking on the "logs received" page for WPX CW, I see very first callsign
0(zero)N3ND. Does anybody know for which DXCC 0N prefix is assigned?

I was sure someone posted last week that they were recoding the contest and
to contact them for a recording of their QSO. (did I dream that?) but I am
so far behind I cannot any longer find that statement.
I was away @ VO1TTT last weekend (just got back) and so I would very much
like a recording of our QSO if we worked. (or maybe you just heard my
pitifully weak begging CQ, hi)
Thanks much,
Mike VE9AA / VO1TTT

I was not aware that the robot checks for valid callsigns. It appears that
the only way to submit a log is to correct a call that was either
incorrectly copied or sent which is against the rules.

Hi Johan
You are right. So I sent my log as I copied it with a zero and not a Oscar
and I have proof of it that I am willing to share after log deadline.

I just sent out the email announcing the release of the June 2015 version of
the SuperCheckPartial database and thought it would be fun to look at some
statistics from the log pool used for this release.
Consistent with the original policy put in place by Randy K5ZD, SCP is
generated from a rolling 24 month set of logs submitted to
logs@supercheckpartial.com<mailto:logs@supercheckpartial.com> by contest
PARTICIPANTS. Although several contest sponsors now provide public access to
the logs submitted to their contests, the original policy still stands and
these log pools are NOT included in SCP.
I get several requests each month to remove old callsigns no longer in use or
add new callsigns not yet seen in action ? these are all handled manually
typically within a couple of days of the request. Although there is the
option to block someone?s callsign from SCP, in the year since I took over
responsibility for SCP from Bob WA1Z, I have not had a single such request.
The macro level statistics of the number of logs, number of unique calls etc
are published on the SCP web site for each release. A note on ?calls in
master.dta? number ? to be included in the MASTER file, a call must have been
seen at least 6 times across all the QSO records. This is a threshold function
to help eliminate busted calls. The latest history of these stats is
available on:
http://supercheckpartial.com/history.htm
Here?s a few additional stats for your amusement/interest :-)
Number of logs in pool by year:
2013: 1279
2014: 2327
2015: 1084
This won?t tie to the number of logs in the history stats as those also include
a number of ?dummy? logs that are used to include new callsigns not yet seen in
the pool. Since we are mid-year, the numbers from 2013/2015 are for half years.
There used to be a separate RTTY version of SCP until that was deprecated a
couple of years ago. But for interest..
Number of RTTY logs in pool: 927
This may understate the actual number since these are logs from contests with
RTTY in the contest name ? I think this gets the first order approximation
pretty close however.
The log pool as I mentioned at the beginning is from logs submitted by contest
participants. So here are some stats on the number of unique participants and
also the most prolific!
Number of unique log submitters: 1297
Top 20 log submitters and the number of logs they have submitted:
76 AA3B
68 HA8TP
60 VK4TT
59 W9ILY
50 AB1J
50 N1EN
44 W6TK
41 IK8TEO
40 N7TEW
40 NX8G
38 LA8HGA
37 AA5AU
33 WA1Z
30 K6HGF
30 OH2XX
29 K6LL
28 G0IBN
28 W0RAA
27 K3WW
To these fine folks and everyone who has submitted logs for SuperCheckPartial?
Sincere thanks!!!!!
Stu K6TU
PS: ? And keep them coming! :-)

Did anybody else feel like VY2ZM sounded "a tad light" this weekend when
called? Did anyone hear me for the first time this contest season and say -
wow - that's louder than I have ever heard Ed?
When big stations go from 100 - 150W to 1500W or vice versa, you can tell.
Its not possible to change power that much and not have people notice.
Just food for thought as people discuss the power levels of contesting
categories.
In fact, it could be argued, if you can't change power enough to matter, and
therefore be noticed, just like Jeff and I did, why be tempted to at all.
