Re your log - all is well to this point, and no reason to believe it will not stay FB.

A lot depends on how many logs come in close to the deadline.  I’ve been pushing the dates back a little bit, and this year, with the changes in log and summary sheet submissions, it should be sooner. I make no promises, but I’d be pretty excited to have the prelims posted by late November/early December. 

In addition, the time between the preliminary scores and the final scores should be likewise shortened.

Since I have everyone’s ears  at the moment, a few notes on the log submissions and how they are working out so far.

The new system has resulted in a lot more logs coming in earlier, and on an empirical basis, it appears that a lot of people who might not have submitted one before have this year due to the relative ease of submissions. It is monumentally easier on me for certain.

If an Op has not submitted a summary sheet, or if it has bad or no data on it, I send out an email requesting one. Some small logs just get one made up by me if missing.

note: On the PDF form we provide, make sure you fill it out in Adobe reader (or Acrobat if you have it). Not all web browsers have the ability to save pdf forms correctly. In addition, it’s always a good idea to have the latest Adobe reader, although I try to make the form compatible back to version 8.

So when the preliminary scores are posted, look through them to find your call sign, and if you do not see it, let me know so we can get your effort in  there.


Finally, for our mobile Ops, I am going to make a little tutorial online regarding how to fill out  mobile entry submissions. With all the different features and bonuses we have, it can get a little confusing. That should be on line some time next year before the 2015 party.

That would be perfectly fine.

Thanks much,
