Centennial QSO Party Watch List!
|
Hi All,
Centennial QSO Party - You Likely Have More Points Than You Think!
If you've been on the air at all this year, whether contesting, general rag chew or chasing W1AW around the country, you likely already have more Centennial QSO Party points than you realize! ?Between some casual operating here, Field Day and a few other contests, I was surprised to discover I have more than 6,000 points. ?That's not high compared to many folks, but I already qualify for some wallpaper and it's quite possible that you do too! ?I've included the instructions for finding your current point total on ARRL's website below. ?You'll find details on the Centennial QSO Party here:

Here are the wallpaper point value?levels:
Centennial QSO Party Watch List!
With just 2.5 months to go in the Centennial QSO Party, we are getting down to the wire. ?On the Users Group e-mail list, we've just started cobbling together?a master Watch List file to use with Amateur Contact Log that will help us find needed points. ?This data is gleaned from our individual, on line logs. ?The Watch List file will display the call sign and point values as stations are spotted, or when you type a call in the Call field and then tab. ?All call signs with a point value of 2 or higher that we have worked so far are included in the Watch List, but don't forget, anyone who is an ARRL member is worth 1 point, so even when you work someone not in the Watch List, there is still a good chance you are earning at least one point with many of your QSOs!.
A copy of the latest WatchList.txt file is attached. ?The record count of unique entries now stands at 1,878. ?This file contains the call signs whose point values are 2 or higher that have been logged by those sending their data to me.
If you would like to?e-mail me your Centennial log to help us beef up our data, please do! ?There are undoubtedly MANY more calls to include! ?Instructions for that are below!
To use the attached watch list, please do the following:
1. ?If you have data in your existing Watch List you want to keep, you must first either rename or move the existing WatchList.txt file. ?Otherwise, you will lose your existing Watch List data!
2. ?From AC Log's menu options click File > Show File Locations and note the location of your settings files (not shared).
3. ?Close AC Log.
4. ?Save the attached WatchList.txt file to the location you noted.
5. ?Start AC Log.
That will do the trick!
Instructions for Finding Your Current Centennial QSO Party Points and Sending Me Your Data!
Finding your current Centennial QSO Party point total and retrieving your log data just takes a few easy steps (and you'll want to do most of them anyway to see what your current score is):
1. ?Please navigate here:
?
2. ?Enter your LoTW User Name and Password at the top right: ?
3. ?Click Score Details > Centennial Points Challenge Details
4. ?Left click in the upper right Date field. ?Holding down the left mouse button, drag it all the way to the lower right field of the very last record. ?The list will scroll as you drag.
5. ?With all the list items highlighted, Right click over the highlighted area and then click Copy.
6. ?Address an e-mail to me direct (snkdavis@...), click Edit > Paste and send it along.?
That's all there it to it. ?I'll take care of the rest from here!
