[ADXA] Club Log Info

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

Since we are now a club officially listed in Club Log and several of you 
have associated the Arkansas DX Association with your Club Log record, 
some of you are showing to be hidden from you totals being listed with a 
club. There is no issue with it, if that is your preference, however if 
you intend to have your totals identified with ADXA then you need to 
correct this. Details are below. You won't see your callsign in "light 
purple" but Pat and I, since we are the "managers" of the ADXA 
membership list do see it in the listing. There are currently four ADXA 
members who appear this way.

Again, this is NOT an issue, I'm just bringing it to your attention in 
case this was not your preference.

Any callsigns in light purple are hidden from leagues; usually, due to 
being inactive for 12 months or more, but possibly by choice of the 
callsign's owner. For more information click here [1].

WHY DOESN'T MY CALLSIGN APPEAR IN THE LEAGUES AND LOG SEARCH TOOLS?

-------------------------

By design, Club Log's league tables only list callsigns that:

  	* Are active i.e. they have made, logged and uploaded at least one QSO 
within the past 12 months;
  	* Have not been marked as "hidden" by their owners (see below);
  	* Meet the report selection criteria (e.g. if you select a CW-only 
report, calls that have not logged any CW QSOs will obviously not be 
listed);
  	* Do not have an unusually low matching rate (less than 15% of QSOs 
matching).

To find out why one or more of your callsigns is not appearing, check 
your settings:

  [2]

  	* Log in to Club Log and click the Settings menu option at the top of 
most screens.
  	* Click the Callsigns button.
  	* Check the _Show in leagues? _column.

Note: a callsign is _automatically _set to "No - inactive" if no QSOs 
have been logged and uploaded during the past 12 months. The 12 month 
filter is built into Club Log and cannot be disabled in order to avoid 
the league tables becoming cluttered with inactive callsigns. Club Log 
and the leagues are intended for active amateurs.

Note: Lots of people misunderstand how this works. You must have logged 
a QSO dated in the last 12 months before you can change the "show in 
league" option to 'yes'. Also, you have to make this change yourself - 
it's not automatic!

So, if you want your call or calls to appear in the leagues:

  	* Do not declare you call or calls "hidden";
  	* Log at least one new QSO per year under each call;
  	* Upload your logs containing QSOs made within the past year; _and_
  	* Choose the relevant reporting options in the league tables
