The first test of the new real-time scoring technology “online score distribution server” went well! We had 11 volunteers from USA, Canada, Italy, Russia and Scotland over last weekend. All the volunteers’ scores were successfully forwarded to COSB and cqcontest.net. But I hope that was just a first try. Thanks a lot to these brave guys! ))
Sure we had some issues. The first one was with WriteLog postings (fixed quickly by Bruce, WA7BNM) and another one with cqcontest.net (fixed later by Dmitry, R4WW). But, few problems for the first test. ))
We need more volunteers for CQ WW CW testing!
It’s easy:
1. Register an account on both servers (http://cqcontest.net and
https://
2. Configure your logger with the following real score server URL:
http://www.b41h.net/
3. Participate at least few hours in the CQ WW CW
You can always use this configuration since you can participate in any other contest and the distribution server will automatically forward your scores to all the servers that support that contest, without any further changes to your logger settings – kind of real score cluster. That’s actually the target of all of our activities.
On our side we have already started updating our “Logger settings” document to encourage all the HAM’s to use a distribution server URL as a primary one.
Good luck in CQ WW CW! And don’t forget to provide your feedback! We very much appreciate for your help.
