[WT-support] RSGB Club Calls Contest

[Dave Sharred]

....And as a past winner of this event (in the days of paper logging!);  I
can't see any software properly supporting this event fully.

As you say Andy; the exchange is long winded, and in addition to the club
name, you have to show that you are a member or a club station, in addition
to the regular serial number and report.

Win-test WILL support the regular exchange; you could use any application
with an incremental no. - ie CQWPX.

You might need a dupe sheet to contain club name, referenced against a QSO
number, and whether it is the club station or not.

If you were adventurous, you could use an Access database, or Excel,   and
you could even preload the exchanges based on last year's entries!

  Bob,

  I was not asking for the RSGB Club Calls Contest to be added, I was merely
asking if it was already included. If not so be it.



  The HFCC that I referred to is the RSGB HF Club Championship, and that is
included. I don't think that how many QSOs are made by the winning station
is important, what should be important is how many stations take part. I am
certain that under both measurements California wins hands down. However the
Club Calls is only for RSGB affiliated Club stations and for club members
operating from home and the list of those cannot be very long. Part of the
exchange is the full name of the club such as: "The Wisbech Amateur Radio
and Electronics Club" that certainly slows down the rate.

  Thanks but I am looking for the RSGB -- CLUB CALLS CONTEST 160m Phone. I
am using WT ver3.27 and the HFCC logs have been in ver. 3xx for as long as I
have been using WT.

  I guess you mean this one:



  http://www.rsgbcc.org/hf/rules/2009/rclubcalls.shtml



  What's the "HFCC" contest?  Are you saying that Win-Test used to support
"160m SSB Club Calls" contest but now you can't find it?



  I see no evidence that Win-Test ever supported the 160m "Club Calls"
contest.  I can't find any references to it in Release.txt, though WT does
support the RSGB 80m "Club Championship" and the RSGB "Affiliated Societies
Team Contest".



  According to the 2008 results, the winner of the RSGB Club Calls contest
made only 150 QSOs last year.



  In contrast, the winner of the 2008 California QSO Party made over 2600
QSOs, and the out-of-state champion made nearly 900 QSOs with CA stations
alone.



  Now, which new contest do you think the authors should make a top
priority? ;-)



  (I already know your answer, but I had to ask).
