CQ WW SSB logs for 2022

CQ WW SSB logs for 2022 have been added to this repository of public CQ WW logs.

CQ WW CW Video Maps: 2005 to 2022

 

I have updated the set of CQ WW CW video maps on my youtube channel (channel N7DR).

• CQ WW CW 160m (2005 - 2022)
• CQ WW CW 80m (2005 - 2022)
• CQ WW CW 40m (2005 - 2022)
• CQ WW CW 20m (2005 - 2022)
• CQ WW CW 15m (2005 - 2022)
• CQ WW CW 10m (2005 - 2022)

The videos are created with time steps of ten minutes; when playing the video, each time step is displayed for five seconds. The videos are presented as animated GIF files, so they should display correctly without any specialised video software installed on your computer.

The videos assume that all communication is via the great-circle short path route, and include only inter-zone contacts. The width of the arcs is an absolute measure of the number of QSOs taking place over that path in the particular 10-minute segment. The colour of the arc reflects the relative number of QSOs taking place over the path. Each separate image (i.e., 10-minute segment) is normalized so that the path with the greatest number of QSOs is rendered in white. Paths with fewer QSOs are in progressively darker colours. Thus, arc colour should not be compared from one still image to another; arc width, however, is meaningful. The width of an arc in pixels is one plus the natural logarithm of the number of QSOs represented by the arc.

Generating Custom SCP files

A (C++) program, licensed under GPL v2, to generate custom Super Check Partial (SCP) files is now available on github.

From the documentation:

    Program to generate custom SCP (super check partial) files
    
    drscp -dir <directory of contest logs> [-v] [-l cutoff-count] [-p parallel-number] [-tr call to trace] [-tl lower-limit] [-x]
    
      -v            be verbose
      -l <n>        roughly, the number of times that a call must appear in the logs, even after reasonable precautions have been taken to remove busts. Default 1.
      -p <n>        the number of directories to process simultaneously. Default 1.
      -tr <call>    provide detailed information on the processing of a particular logged call
      -tl <n>       do not automatically include entrants' calls unless they claim at least n QSOs. Default 1.
      -x            generate eXtended SCP output
 
Notes:
     
    If <directory of contest logs> begins with the comat character, then the value, without the leading character, is treaded as a file that contains a list of directories to process, one per line.
    
    <directory of contest logs> may list multiple directories, separated by commas.
    
    The -l limit is applied independently to each contest and band.
    
    Regardless of the value of -tl, entrants' calls must also appear in at least one other log.
