[NLRS] Man Vers Machine

[Scanner.Kleindl at VerizonWireless.com]

Hello
	For a couple of days now I have been analyzing my Score and the LCR and I am still not happy for what took place between me and that Robot. So below is the steps that happen to me.

#1.   I can except that one can make mistakes from typo errors. Like inverting letters, or Oh's in place for Zero's and W,s in place of  WA's if that station express he had a A in his call. Those are my errors.

#2.  Because one has no errors in there LCR log does not mean every thing was prefect. "Explain" If you worked a fix station or a rover on 2, 6 and 432 and he forgot to log the 2 meter Q with him,  So the Robot check and says you did not. Then you are penalties one Q plus another for his mistake.    "Oh he will never see it unless you tell him."   

#3.  Okay this one you may need to read it twice. Here we go.
	A fix station works you on all the bands that he has at his home station using his home call sign of  XØYZ in EN34.  Then takes time out, and packs up his 5 and 10 GHz equipment and operates from a remote location and uses a call of XØYZ/R and works several stations in EN34 and then moves to EN35 does the same, Then goes home to finish out the contest.

Results.
          Turning in a log to the ARRL. Because the Robot can only take one call sign. He turns in his home station log of  XØYZ electronically and mails in his rover log XØYZ/R to the league.  So now when the robot crunches the logs it rejects your call sign because his electronic log does not show you working him  on 5 and 10. Because his paper log is not feed into the Robot. " I feel it's the case "  So you are penalties one Q because his log does not show your call sign in his Eletronic log.  Plus one more Q is removed for making it up.  And when its done and said you have lost a total of EIGHT Q's are removed. Four from 5 Gs for each grid and the same goes for 10 Gs.  In my case that's 7,000 points.   And add even more confusion I worked XØYZ/R on 2 meters as a rover and the Robot did not throw those out. Too confusioning.

Question will be ask did you send your log in as working him as a Rover? And the answer is YES!

Enclosing: Do we continue to work stations like this method or does one get down on how that ROBOT analyses logs. Last should we send in paper logs going forward.

Thank you for taking time out and reading on whats happing in the world of VHF/UHF contesting. When I think that Robot was only setup to do HF Contesting Logs.  73's Dave NØKP
