Re: Which codegroups do you prefer: Letters or Alpha-numeric? #poll-notice

Five letter groups just like the traditional way of doing things.


Which codegroups do you prefer: Letters or Alpha-numeric? #poll-notice

 

Please select the type of code groups you'd prefer for future events: Letter Groups or Alpha-numeric.

You can change your selection any time by simply casting another vote. The poll will remain open indefinitely. Your vote is anonymous.

You can post followup comments to this message but your comments won't count as votes; you must cast a vote at the poll link.

Re: New Scores Reports Format

 

Hi Dan,

I think I read your concern, but I'm not going to publish the code group lists, other than by emailing individual contestants as to which groups they copied correctly from other stations, and which of their transmitted groups were confirmed by others. This would perhaps be a slightly useful "aid" during a group-limited event (to see which of your transmitted groups were guaranteed as confirmed and therefore "home safe"), but not otherwise.

However, for contestants-- please don't post your own lists of copied or transmitted groups until after scoring has been closed.

Hi Gang,

Drew, maybe I missed it but I have a concern.
I am assuming that the new scoring sheet would be withheld until after the scoring window closes.? I would hope that the old score page method would stay in place until the submission window is closed.? My concern is that we would be publishing the word lists of the participants with the new format.
I believe RG is designed for accuracy and honesty.? Those reading this message would probably agree.? If the score data, with word groups listed, is printed before the event is closed me thinks that would open a different window I'd rather not speak about.

Thanks, Quint. This info will also be available as two-column tab separated lists for easy import into a spreadsheet, if anyone wants to do that with their results. It might be interesting if you also know the time and band that each group was transmitted or received, etc.

You might find this interesting to see how many stations are hearing and reporting your transmitted groups. See the example below from my own RG#11 results. I'm not sure how well the long lines will wrap in email readers but I think you'll be able to make some sense of it:

RG#11 was limited to ten groups per Tx List. It will be interesting to see the reports in the RG#12 25-groups event. Anyhow, here are my results from last event:

Re: Event #12 - Tue Apr 9th #event_notice

 

Quint-

It's probably something to do with Yahoo.com email filtering. Check the trash and spam folders, not only in your email reader (if you are using one), but also online at your account on the Yahoo.com site.

If you can't find the emails I sent to you I can pass your RG12 groups to you via Ron AC2C.

Alternatively, if you have an email account with a different provider, try that.

Hi Quint,

I replied to your two emails. Apparently Yahoo mail is not forwarding them to you; perhaps they are in your email account's spam folder. I'll try again now from a different address.

If anyone has requested a Tx List for the current event an not received it, pls post a followup here. I usually respond pretty quickly to requests during the day.

If you use the Thunderbird email client it will display zeros in email messages as slashed if you select Consolas as the Monospace font in the Advanced settings panel. At least, mine does.

BTW, when you submit your copied groups always type them by hitting the "0" number key on the keyboard. Scandinavian letter O and the diameter symbol are not substitutes for numeral zero.
