I have a little more time today to elaborate on the post from the
other day.
There was confusion regarding the Party rules for 2009. People were
getting the wrong year's rules, while I had things updated. Finally,
with help from a member, and looking at the website's directory
structure, I figured it out. NARC has a webmaster who takes care of
the club side of the web, and I do all the PAQSO web stuff. Probably
an invitation to trouble, but I had to get rid of some of the work.
So after looking at the structure and the links, I noticed that for
some reason, the webmaster had made copies of last year's rules and
pdf's, and put them in a separate folder. He then linked to those
files on the NARC home page instead of the ones on the PAQSO pages.
And wouldn't you know it, Google's crawlers linked to that link
instead of mine.
I didn't want to go in and change the NARC home page, I figure a guys
html is his own ya' know, but this was a real problem. So I decided to
make a redirect. But Google and other search engines don't look
kindly on redirects, so I had to make it a long duration, 15 seconds,
so they wouldn't think it was some nasty site or something like that.
But there is a link to take you right to the official pages if you're
impatient like me.
So final on that is that if you get a odd looking page with just our
redirect on it, it is just there to get around the problem until I get
the webmaster to change his links.
On to other things,
I am figuring out the sponsors issues now, and will make a further
update when I get that. Here is the sponsors list as I have it now
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------
Canadian Division - Columbia-Montour ARC
Club Competition - The Nittany Amateur Radio Club
Central Time Zone Division - The Steel City Amateur Radio Club
CW Division - Bud Trench, AA3B
Eastern Time Zone Division - The Murgas Amateur Radio Club
HIgh Power EPA - The Dauberville DX Association
HIgh Power WPA - The Wireless Association of South Hills
Multi-op Multi Transmitter - The Reading Radio Club
Mobile Division - The Delaware-Lehigh Amateur Radio Club
Medium Power EPA - Duane Traver, WV2B
Medium Power WPA - The Radio Association of Erie
Mountain/Pacific Time Zone - Carmine Prestia, K3CWP, Elaine Prestia
K3ERP
Multi-Op Single TX - The Tuscarora Amateur Radio Association
Out of State Medium Power - The Penn Ohio DX Society
Out of State QRP Division - Jim Gooch NA3V
PA First Timer Division - Blair Bates K3YD
PA QRP Division - The Penn Wireless Club
Portable Single TX Division - Eric Brooks N3EB
Rover Division - The Mercer County Amateur Radio Club
DX Division - Al Zelna N3KAE
*SSB only Division - N3OW, Jay Mason
20 Meter Good Neighbor Division - Charles Fulp, K3WW
---------------
* Where I have a problem is with the SSB division, where two
different people are involved. I need to move the sponsor to Pete
Varonis, who was the original idea behind the plaque. I need to find
something for Jay, If he still wishes.
Originally, I was not going to add any new plaques for this
year, but
since we are at this juncture, I will do so if wishes indicate.
If anyone or group wants to stop sponsoring their plaque also
let me
know.
If someone wants to sponsor a new plaque, this is the time to do
it.
I know Julius N2WN wanted to sponsor a plaque.
Costs for a plaque are still 35 dollars. After the final list is
made
in the next few days, I will send out the bills for them.
The plaques will be getting a redesign this year.

You'd think I couldn't find anything more to say, but:
The PAQSO party 100 QSO club mugs will be continued this year on a
provisional basis. We'll see how it fares this year with amounts.
Depending on the continued interest, we might switch to non
personalized ones since that is a big part of the minimum order
quantity, and best of all, when the obligatory 3 or 4 get broken every
year, it won't be a problem to just send a new mug (the set up charge
for the personalized part of the mugs makes one mug cost almost as
much as a hundred.
I'd also like to gauge interest in something like personalized
baseball caps, not personalized caps, and travel mugs, as has been
suggested.

I always used and liked very much - N3FJP's logging program for the PA
QSOP
It gives a great display of your current statistics..

Eric,
The program database field for QSO points is an integer so all point
values
are doubled to work around the non-integer CW QSO points. The actual
score
is one half of the displayed value.
Your message immediately jogged my memory why the bonus points were 400
instead of 200. With the latest version, the PA bonus points are wrong.
They
were correct in version 9.9.7. So users can expect a new program release
early next week with the last PA QSO Party change reversed. Until then,
using version 9.9.7 for the CA QSO Party and program testing is
recommend.
John, K3CT

I just checked my version on N1MM and it is 9.9.8
Should it work OK for California this weekend ?
I use N1MM for ALL my contest logging, it works just fine for me.
