Confirming Park-To-Park

A recurring question is: How are P2P contacts confirmed.

It’s quite simple…

  • Both logs must be uploaded – we will call them Log A and Log B
  • A number of fields must match…
    1. Callsigns:
      • The STATION call of Log A must match the HUNTER call of Log B
      • The STATION call of Log B must match the HUNTER call of Log A
      • Note: Callsigns are compared after stripping all prefixes and suffixes
    2. References:
      • The HUNTER REFERENCE in Log A must match the ACTIVATOR REFERENCE in Log B
      • The HUNTER REFERENCE in Log B must match the ACTIVATOR REFERENCE in Log A, or be empty
      • Note: Thus only one log needs to claim the P2P for BOTH to be confirmed (if there is a match)
    3. The BAND, MODE and DATE of both Logs must match
    4. The TIME field is only used as a tie-breaker:
      • If there is only one matching QSO, then it is confirmed without further ado
      • If there is more than one matching QSO, then TIME must match (± 5 minutes)

Logsearch Update – February 2018

The February 2018 update has just been released, featuring:

  • The next steps for a number of awards:
    • P2P (Park-To-Park) (level 944)
    • LAFF-A/H (30 references)
    • OHFF-A/H (150 references and 200 references)
  • Some minor tweaks and fixes (including non-EU OKFF calculation).

Note: The entry level DXFF-H-10 award is now free of charge… all WWFF Global Awards are now FREE.

Note:  I am more than happy to add new awards (both National and Special) but please:

  1. Discuss the qualification with me before hand – what may appear a simple qualification may not be so easy to code!
  2. Give me more than a couple of day’s notice!

Development of Logsearch has to fit around family and work commitments! This is particularly the case as I start a new job shortly!

I am pleased to announce the appointment of Carl 2E0HPI as the new GxFF Coordinator, replacing Andrew M0YMA.

Thank you Carl for taking on this role.

The GxFF program covers:

  • the United Kingdom (G, GI, GM and GW)
  • the Crown Dependencies (GD, GJ and GU)
  • the British Overseas Territories (VP2, VP5, VP6, VP8, VP9, ZB2, ZD and ZF).

Carl, together with Adie M0PAI, have a number of ideas for developing the GxFF program, and a refreshed GxFF website will be launched in due course.
