Hello friends of CVARC,
I think we can safely say that was one of the most successful CVARC Field
days in recent memory. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did, and are
all looking forward to more operating events in the future.
I wanted to provide everyone with an update regarding the submission of our
logs to the ARRL. So far, I have been going through and making corrections
to the master log file as needed. For instance, some sections were entered
in the class box and visa versa. Once this is done, I will compile the
"Cabrillo" file to send to the ARRL. Contained within this file will be a
record of our contacts, claimed bonus points, GOTA operators and other
pertinent information.
Along with the Cabrillo file, we must submit proof for some of our claimed
bonus points. Examples include: pictures proving we were in a public
location, copies of front porch forum ads, sign in sheets etc. If anyone
has ANYTHING they think may be of use, please email them my way; I'd rather
have too much than not enough. Did we ever end up sending a press release
to the Times Argus or other local newspaper? If so, I need a copy of those
correspondence, or a copy of the press release.
Bonus points I will be submitting for on behalf of CVARC:
- 100% Emergency Power
- Media Publicity (Maybe?)
- Public Location
- Five Natural Power QSOs - Solar charged batteries
- Social Media (I've emailed Front Porch Forum to see if they classify
themselves as "Social Media")
Each of these carries 100 bonus points.
Unfortunately, because we were unable to obtain the minimum of 20 contacts
on the GOTA station, we do not get a bonus for its operation.
As of now, it appears we will have somewhere in the range of 5,000 points,
depending on log accuracy etc. I have attached some JPEG image screenshots
from the logging software showing some preliminary statistics. We made over
1,900 contacts, in all 50 states. The only ARRL section we did not make
contact with was the Northern Territories of Canada.
If you have anything to submit to me to include to the ARRL, please submit
them to me by Wednesday, July 5th at 12:00 - I will be clicking "send" on
our submission at that time (Deadline is 7/25). Please let me know if you
have any questions or concerns.
Once again, Thank you everyone for all of your hard work and continued
dedication!
73,
Chris Craig
