2008 Missouri QSO Party
sponsored by the Boeing Employees’
Amateur Radio Society – St. Louis (BEARS) Announcement
Regarding Submitted Contest Scores and Opportunity to Re-submit Contest Logs
Entires Delay in Announcement
of Contest Winners August
15, 2008 QST – To all radio
amateurs who participated in the 2008 Missouri QSO Party : The Boeing Employees’ Amateur Radio Society – St. Louis (www.w0ma.org)
regrets to advise that we are delaying the announcement of the winners of
the 2008 Missouri QSO Party contest until 1 October 2008. The BEARS Contest Committee has confirmed that in at least 2
instances, logs which were submitted both electronically and in hard copy
by contest participants, were not received by the BEARS MO QSO Party
Chairman, K2DP, and therefore NOT INCLUDED in the scoring summary recently
completed. These contest entry logs are in the process of being
re-submitted to the BEARS for inclusion in the contest scores. We understand that there may have been some confusion during
April of this year as the BEARS changed both web site URL addresses and
Contest Chairpersons at the same time.
This may account for contest logs being submitted to the wrong
person and not reaching the correct Contest Chairman, K2DP. Since we do not know how many other contest log entries may
not have been received by K2DP, the BEARS would like to provide all
participants the opportunity to submit/re-submit their contest logs. Entries
will be accepted up through 15 September 2008. Please note that all logs
previously submitted to K2DP electronically, received a confirmation back
via e-mail from K2DP and do not need to be re-submitted. If you submitted
your log in hard copy to K2DP and would like to confirm its receipt,
please contact K2DP via e-mail. Please submit all logs
for the 2008 Missouri QSO Party directly to K2DP: e-mail address: k2dp@charter.net hard copies to: Dave Propper, K2DP
7488 Cornell Avenue
University City, MO 63130 Thank you for your patience and your participation in the
2008 MO QSO Party !!! |

Log
Sheet for the Missouri QSO Party (15 kB file
size) in Adobe Acrobat Reader, Microsoft Word, and ASCII text file
formats. This log sheet is set up so that a multiple page logbook can
be created by adding extra rows to the table. Columns are provided to
record the complete exchange from the station worked, but only the serial
number from the local station--the assumption is that only the serial
number will change for the local station. Mobile and Rover stations using
this sheet are advised to create different logs for each county of operation.
The county can be recorded at the appropriate location at the top of the
log sheet.
