1296 --- 2Qs 2 grids = 8 Qpts

10GHz --- 1Q 1 grid = 8 Qpts


for a total of 64 Q points based on January point values. Is it possible
that there were some dupes in your log, Bill?

With June/September QSO point values, it would be 58 QSO points.

Neither values matches 61 or 68.

>From Jon's earlier log details and but changing to June/September QSO point
values, it would be:
Band   QSOs   Pts  Grd
   50      43        43   19
   144     16        16    5
   222       8        16    5
   902       2         6    2
 1296       1         3    1
 2304       1         4    1
 3456       1         4    1
 5760       1         4    1
  10G       1         4    1
  Total    74     100   36
for a score of 3600.  That's not 3200 so maybe there is something ELSE
going on?

I helped debug an opportunity with how the web uploader's code was
calculating scores when it was first implemented so I'm willing to work on
that again but it would help to have some more details to try and address
what is going on.
