The .jpg files did not make it thru the email reflector, so the link below perhaps can be used to view the .jpg files mentioned in my email below.

Subject: Re: [SADXA] DX Ladder spreadsheet

Hi All,

My suggestion is to use the numbers directly from one's LoTW DXCC account (or the equivalent).

This would mean adding the Mixed (as Wes suggested) and the Challenge numbers to the SADXA ladder columns. 

We could keep 2 Meters, 60 Meters and Satellite, but be clear in the ladder presentation what numbers count toward a DXCC award vs. additional numbers SADXA chooses to use in its ladder.

Attached is a .jpg (created with the Windows 10 "Snipping Tool") of my LoTW DXCC account. From the standpoint of a member providing input to the ladder caretaker, there is nothing easier to do. 

Also attached in an idea of what a newly designed SADXA ladder might look like.

Lets bring this up as new business at the meeting.

I suggest we delete the columns
2 Meters, 60 Meters and Satellite.

Reasons:

DXCC Challenge based on total
for 160 through 6 Meters.

60 Meters is not a DXCC Band.

Satellite, I agree with Wes.

I also agree adding a "Mixed" column.

Then you could add a "Mode Total"
column as well. It would be the
sum of Phone+CW+Digital.

While not a DXCC Award, it would
function to motivate folks to use
all the Modes.

Comments ??
