Hello,
This issue appeared again in the last weeks.
The first GCR message does not arrive to our server, hence it will not be forwarded. The other messages arrive and will forwarded exactly as it should be done. Only the first message does not arrive, exactly as reported years ago.
We would like to solve this issue, otherwise we will not be able to release the awards. We have also received some message alerting us of the not released awards, hence alerting us of what was happening again.
Could we know if there is a known cause of that, and a possible solution?I would also signal that sometimes in the further GCR messages there is the op name used instead of the callsign used in the first GCR message; this is confusing: possibly use always only the callsign for awards!
I jave also modified the home page adding a link to the HBFF – SOTA Cross Index and to the HB9SOTA Pages by Arthur HB9CEV. The Cross Index are aimed at helping who searchef SOTA Refs in HBFF and viceversa. I wish me these links are helpful and liked. 73, have fun! Augusto HB9TZA I2JJR
Hello Friends, here some other Info and expolain about the question about the SIG Field info content, and the related subfields SIG_Info and so on .
I was just considering a rig/station control soft (and logger of course) logger that is quite known and used, normally for contests; but occasionally users may also use it – why not? – for activations, not only WWFF .
Writing with the Ham that did such a very fine piece of software, he kindly considered some not complex add-on to suit activations logs needs. For that reason I was asking if SIG Fields not containing the string “WWFF” could abort, as this may render more complex the mods.
Indeed the WWFF logs uploader is very fine, and it does exactly ignore all SIG Fierlds and subfields not containing the WWFF String, as it should.
So uploading logs that contains different SIG strings does not abort the upload.
It appeared to be so by checking and uploading logs; anyway I’m still waiting – as I wrote above – somebody of the WWFF logger staff to confirm our foindings.
Who knows.
I thank Paolo IK3QAR for the fine mods to his fine software QARtest, now useable also for award activations.
73 44, Augusto HB9TZA , HBFF staff and masterOncemore, Andrew, I’m sorry for this error.
I apologized, and I do it oncemore; sometimes it happens.
But the question may have a different viewpoint:
– each activator , more or less, uses a different Logger.
– some loggers are doing adif rules by themselves
– we cannot accept only just ready logs, I feel we should help.
– since the beginning I did, and still we all do, edit the logs.
– some activators are not very proficient in ADIF.
– endly, sometimes errors happens even to the best of us.
So, please accept my apologies.
Thank you very much for adjusting that log.
73 44, AugustBut, to be sure that 2+2 gives 4 …
Manfred or WWFF Staff: may you please check that the uploaded Log #00193063 does not contain garbage?
I want to be really sure that the SIG fields non-WWFF and related subfields are not uploaded and stored in the WWFF Database.
I can not check it more than reading the messages by the upload itself. By these, it seems SIG fields not having the string WWFF into them will not be considered.But to check it may be better and safer. May somebody check and confirm?
Many thanks! 73, Augusto HB9TZA / I2JJR
HBFFThanks Kim,
My question was more related to the SIG string content.I know by experience that a typo or even an invalid reference in the SIG_INFO field will cause upload abort, very right and necessary.
My doubts came considering a log with multiple Awards correspondents, thus giving in the raw station log many different strings(i.e. the awards names) in the SIG field, with corresponding non WWFF references listed in the related SIG_INFO .
Today I received such a log, and so tried to upload it “raw” that is, with all these different strings (awards names) in the SIG field, and not only the two fields for WWFF , as we usually did “cleaning” the raw logs received.What I have seen, is that the upload checker does is task very fine: it ignores all SIG fields not containing the “WWFF” string and the related SIG_INFO field; and upload only these having the right string “WWFF” into the SIG field.
But, more important and the answer to my question, it does NOT abort if there are other SIG fields containing different strings not WWFF.
So, that soft does it very fine as it does: it uploads only the SIG and related subfields if these are for WWFF . Chapeau!
That was what I was looking for; I write it here, maybe it’s useful information for other hams, too .
Thanks Kim for your help!

HBFF StaffHello Kim,
Angelo IK2JTS as I suggested him did edit his profile, and has corrected callsign in parenthesis (!?!) and seems also to have added the ” apply_for_award ” capability as I pointed out.
Now it works finme, he had a lot of Awards to receive.
I sure have received his HBFF-Award request via WWFF, and so all seems OK now. Many thanks, 73 44
AugustoKim please,an Information:
editing the profile, Angelo may change the “capacity” i.e. writing “apply_for_awards” in the capacity line? Or this line may not be edited/changed by the end user? Inbetween I must say that I have not yet understand what Angelo has for capabilities there, as I cannot access that page directly, and he seems not to be able to get there too …
thanks, 73 44 AugustoHello Kim, good morning.
I have opened a ticket with the name and callsign of the affected OM, he tried to check his registration data, but did not find a way to solve that issue. I cannot see his data to check them, so I cannot write that something is wrong there, but I suspect this and not an issue with WWFF . Maybe you may check that and see.
Many thanks Kim for your help, have a good week end
73 44, Augusto HB9TZA / I2JJRMany thanks Manfred,
so no other action by me is required! All is endly OK.
Sorry for the mismatch, Manfred, and thanks for correction.
Please close the topic, thank you.
73 44 AugustoHello Ji DS1TUW,
You may contact Manfred Meier DF6EX, here on WWFF .
He is practically the coordinator for countries that have not yet a National Coordinator and a National Program.
I wish you may want to organize HLFF and may become the WLFF National Coordinator! FB
73 44, Augusto HB9TZA / I2JJROFF TOPICS HERE … Vy SRY .
Hello Andrew,
I am not able to reach you anymore so I hope you read the message here!Please let me have somehow, better by WhatsApp at my cellphone number, the images of these HB9 Paper Logs.
That will make me possible to go forth, otherwise I’m QRX …Please contact me by email to get data and numbers for WhatsApp ot other media, thanks.
Vy 73, Augusto
OFF TOPICS HERE …sry
Andrew, please let me have a valid email address for you, as my last emails to you re HB9/M**** did not get you at all, and we need these answers to go on organizing the activations.
Many thanks, AugustoHello Andrew,
About your reply to me #13902,
I have replied here, I guess, but I cannot find anything more.
I’m sorry for that; as I have no copy of what I wrote to you I cannot copy here my reply.I hope you have got it by mail, anyway it was that logs are corrected as uploaded these times, and WWFF seems to have all them right; but the statistics does not reflect these data.
It’s not so important, we have checked and now we are clear.
The all years awards we believe to be right, and our yearly top ops will be issued based on our logs.
Many thanks, Andrew, let me please have a valid email for you as the one of my previous messages re HB9 did come back with invalid address.
Ciao 73 44, Augusto
