Re: Feedback and comments

George Marzloff K4GM All Messages By This Member #264 I agree with Mike on locking the first row on the spreadsheet.?? I locked it on the second day.?? Then I noticed a day or so later someone had unlocked it (what possible reason????)?? Anyway,? I locked it again.? It is currently locked. Test it to make sure. Possibly the lock is only local?? I hope not. I like 1 hour time slots. I kinda made 'em that way as I worked. Only twice was I able to go two hours straight.? Usually, I worked an hour max. I just entered 10:15-11:00, for example,? in an empty slot. Not once did I give my name.?? I received names twice...?? I vote thumbs up on NO NAME!! One cause for concern was duplication of mode/band operation.? At least twice and maybe three times I saw an open slot on the Sheet. I entered my call.? I got the log up and was ready to go. Then went to DX Summit to self spot and to my surprise another operator had been spotted. I went to the frequency and sure enough I heard K2B! Almost a big OOPS.?? I am not talking about a 5 minute overshoot on the prior hour but 15-30 minutes into the current block.? Doubt there is a simple answer here. Maybe a mandatory check on DX Summit before beginning operation ??? A big notice to double check DX Summit before operation????? These events occurred during the last 2 or 3 days so might be new inexperienced ops...? No big deal in the overall scheme of things.??? I had a great time and look forward to next year. 73, George K4GM toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 7/8/2022 12:44 PM, Mike Dodd wrote: This was my first time participating, and I came away with a few thoughts I'd like share with the group, and especially with David. ---------- TIME SLOTS: I was frustrated by the two-hour time slots on the sign-up sheet. Several times I couldn't commit to two hours due to time constraints. One-hour slots provide more flexibility and encourage signing up. Look at it this way: Suppose I can't commit to a two-hour session from 7pm-9pm, but I can and do commit to 7-8 and start operating then. Now, at 7:50, I discover I CAN operate until 9pm, so I open the sheet to see if 8-9 is still available. It is, so I sign up and keep on operating. Easy-peasy. ---------- SUGGESTION: Modify the sign-up sheet to lock the row and column headers so they're always visible. On the current sheet, they scroll off the screen as I move around the sheet. For example, if I want to sign up for 20CW at 7-9pm, the band/mode and time headers disappear as I tab from cell-to-cell and row-to-row, so I don't know which cell to look at. Hheaders should always be visible. This is a standard operation in most spreadsheets. Here's an article: <> ---------- SUGGESTION: I think 13 Colonies should eliminate the Name from the exchange. Only a few stations ever sent their name, and I didn't even know it was part of the exchange until well into the event (OK, I didn't RTFM). I didn't hear ANY K2(x) stations sending a name. Why have it if no one sends it? Comments, anyone? -- George- Price-Right Communications 107B East Davis St. Culpeper, VA 22701 540-617-1177
