The latest update (v0.0.11) has just been released…

The headline is (once again) the addition of a number of new awards and award steps, plus a bit of tidying up.

Note: some of these have been pre-released…

Issues Addressed

This update revises the following new awards and/or award levels:

  • Issue #00020 – Add new levels LZFF-A-30 and LZFF-H-60
  • Issue #00024 – Add new levels LAFF-A-150 and LAFF-H-150
  • Issue #00035 – Add new level ONFF-H-800
  • Issue #00040 – Add new Activator Points award on WWFF page
  • Issue #00051 – Add new level P2P-1044
  • Issue #00050 – Add new award RFF-A-5 and RFF-H-11

This update also makes some changes to the Directory:

  • Issue #00041 – Fix support for VEFF Provinces and Territories
  • Issue #00044 – Show details of previous activations on individual directory pages
  • Issue #00049 – Remove status column from Directory listing

This update also addresses the following other issues:

  • Issue #00019 – Confirmation emails show correct endorsements
  • Issue #00037 – Top Operators – fix broken HTML tags
  • Issue #00042 – Add support for Year 2020
  • Issue #00043 – Fix TopOperators and ReferenceStats program selection
  • Issue #00048 – Add support for modes MSK144 (and PKT) previously missed
  • Issue #00050 – Add YEAR selection to seach-box
  • Issue #00052 – LogUpload – trap broken callsigns starting with 0 (zero) or 1 (one)
  • Issue #00053 – Performance Enhancements!

Open Issues can be found in the Issue Tracker.

Future Plans

Further work is ongoing… especially to try and address the lack of Club Station reports in “Top Operators”… I thought I had the answer, but it made the queries too complicated and affected server performance.

It still hasn’t happened, but in the near future, all CTFF references, activations and QSOs/P2Ps in The Azores will be migrated to a new CUFF series. This has been promised for a while (including in the last updates), but time has been in short supply!

Personal Note

Development of Logsearch has to fit around family and work commitments! Unfortunately, my job means I’m on the road a lot!

P2P confirmations

31 Friday Aug 2018

Previously there has been a lot of discussion regarding P2P confirmations, or rather the lack of.

I have added a bit of debug to the over-night P2P confirmation script… which provides the following information (as of 07:00BST 2018-08-31):

  • 19,237 QSOs with an unconfirmed P2P claim
  • 18 of these could not confirm due to potential duplicate matches, outside of a time tolerance (I can look into those)
  • 2,482 QSOs cannot confirm due to band, mode or reference discrepancies!

Once I’ve validated the script, I’ll publish more details to users… but the key point here is: PLEASE CHECK YOUR LOGS!

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)

DF3CB, Bernd, announcing a new version of the popular WWFF/SOTA logging software FLE 2.9 (Aug 10,2017).

This logging software is perfectly creating the ADIF file that is ready to upload to the LogSearch database (including Park to Park QSO’s)

 

 

New features in the 2.9 version :

  • Integrated log upload to LoTW (ARRL Logbook of The World) using TQSL.
  • QSL Messages valid for the entire log can now be entered in the header section of the log (for eQSL etc.).
  • New digital modes FT8 and T10 added. All modes synchronized with the ADIF specification.

Logsearch Update – April 2017

Update 2017-04-24: a bug in calculating the Activator QSO count (for the WARD-A award) has been fixed.

An update to Logsearch has just been released, featuring a number of new awards:

  • The launch of the South American Continental Award, CFF:SA
  • The relaunch of the World Amateur Radio Day awards, just in time for WARD 2017
  • The next step in the P2P awards (P2P-A-308)
  • The next step in OMFF awards (OMFF-A-100 and OMFF-H-100)

This update also fixes a number of problems with the confirmation of Park to Park contacts, which has resulted in a further 1,000 P2Ps being confirmed. Unfortunately, nearly 7,000 remain unconfirmed – mostly due to the lack of the corresponding logs 🙁

Finally, this update addresses a number of minor issues:

  • Further layout improvements in the References search results
  • Further layout improvements in the Directory Stats tables
  • A number of minor bugs
