Re: [N3FJP_Software_Users] Ohio QSO Party Rules Change
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your e-mail. Actually, the first I heard about that possibility was just this morning, which isn't enough time to make the change for this year anyway, but it may not be required. I received this information earlier today from another user:
I may have spoke to soon. There appears to be problems inside the OQP camp these days. There seems to be a tug-of-war on who really sponsors the OQP. The original webpage that I copied the below rules from at www.oqp.us is considered now to be the renegade OQP.
The new webpage at www.ohqp.org has the rules as they were last year and no digital or scoring changes. I tend to agree that this is the official OQP site.
At this point I say no changes are needed to the program.

I'm not about to get caught in the middle of this "tug-of-war", trying to figure out who is "in charge" and quite possibly do a lot of work for no reason!
73, Scott
N3FJP

Subject: [N3FJP_Software_Users] Ohio QSO Party Rules Change
Scott,
I don't know how you are normally made aware of rule changes but I thought
I would advise you that the Ohio QSO Party has made changes. Digital QSOs
now count the same as CW and QSOs made on bands above 20M carry a higher
point value.
After the contest, after I have generaded the adif file, when I enter it into AC log, I have to enter the signal report figures line by line. Is there a way...
Interesting question about "valid qso." If 59 wasn't exchanged, recording 59 in the QSO data isn't truthful, thus, not valid. So what are we to make of...
Hi John and All, When you click File > Export ADIF from the Field Day program, it will ask you what you want to use to identify PH contacts.? Just enter SSB...
Roger, that works great. What is the workaround for digital contacts since 'DIG' is not a valid ADIF mode? This really leads to a broader question about ADIF...
... Note that the information at http://www.hosenose.com/adif/adif.html is old Version 1 ADIF data. Current development seems to be at version 2.2.3 at this...
John thank you very much; I missed this via my haste . Indeed this is a much more comprehensive list of modes. There is still no "DIG" mode though and, thus,...
... A simple solution would be to try an upload of just one qso record without the rst reports and see if it is accepted, before attempting to upload the...
None of the ARRL awards require a signal report. All that the ARRL awards require is call sign, date, time, and band. Since your county and grid is already...
Floyd, I bet with a little luck you could probably use Scott's excel spreadsheet to make it a lot easier on you. I don't have a ADI file on my computer to...
That's ashame Floyd. EQSL's own import web page... http://www.eqsl.cc/qslcard/ADIFContentSpecs.cfm ...shows only these fields as required... Minimum valid...
Floyd, I confirm eQSL imports just fine without the RST reports. I had a bunch of QSLs a few of which contained no RST values of any sort in the ADIF file and...
My opinion only..... When an organization is set up to define and implement a standard it is my opinion that an event does not comply with that standard the...
The suggestion here works, it is done many times. It is important to remember that the "requirements" for the exchange must be met or it is not a valid QSO....
Interesting. I just checked my eQSLs and lots of them do not have signal reports. They uploaded just fine and none were rejected. You might try it and see...
Here is a solution to your problem. Export the Field Day ADIF file. Open the ADIF file in Note Pad. Do a ctrl+H to bring up the replace function. Type "<DXCC:"...

Paul, Here are the files you will need to backup or copy HAMLOG.TXT HAMLOG.TOT HAMLOG.BAK HAMLOG or whatever you called your log file. I hope this helps. BTW...

Sorry Paul, I just reread your message. Hamlog.log and Hamlog.tot (unless you renamed your log file to something else) are the two essential files. 73, Scott ...

There seems to be a power struggle occurring currently over the Ohio QSO party. According to www.oqp.us you would have new rules with digital QSOs counted and...
So which one is the 'real' Ohio QSO party? It appears that the Mad River Club OQSOP has a longer history than the other one. Is this a case of "sour grapes, so...
From what I have been able determine there is some sort of infighting going on. The web site www.oqp.us has always been the correct one so I would follow what...
Oh good grief... this is needlessly confusing for most of us. I love the idea of digital and higher points for the upper bands, but having consistent rules if...
Yeah, the main problem is that there are two sides!! I sent a somewhat scathing email to the OQP list - not that I expect it to do any good!. John, I've lost...
It may be a case of "we ain't gonna let you play in our sandbox so git outta here!" too. We often seem to be stuck in a rut of "it's my contest/event so I...
