[MiQP-Mail] 2016 MiQP Web Stuff...

[K9TM]

The planned operations entry and planned operations viewing pages for the 2016 event on Apr 16/17 are now ready for use.   Please enter your plans and let us all know what county or counties you plan to activate.  The web pages are the same as they have been for several years.  The link for entering your plans is on the left side of the page in the “Contents” section, “2016 Planned Operations Entry".  The viewing link is near the top of the page under the MI map (Planned Operations Details).

When it comes time to submit your log, it is done using the link on the left side of the page in the “Contents” section, “2016 Submit Electronic Log”.  As in the past you’ll be able to see logs submitted sorted by callsign (Contents section, “2016 Logs Received") and by category and then by raw score (Contents section, “2016 Logs Received with Scores”).  The by callsign is easier to make sure your log (or a particular log) has been received.  The by score page offers a raw (unchecked) glimpse of how things look going into log checking.

New this year, when your log is emailed back to you it includes the information used to determine the raw score (# CW QSOs, # PH QSOs, # CW Mults, # PH Mults, Score, CW Mult List, PH Mult List ).  In the past this information was displayed on the screen but not saved.  Now you can use this information to figure out why your logging software is claiming one score and your raw score is different.  Keep in mind, the raw score does not remove dupes (therefore raw score may be higher) and only recognizes the official QTH abbreviations (therefore raw score may be lower).  The raw score is a sanity check.  The log checking process and MiQP committee determine your official score at a later time.

Good luck to all in this years MiQP.
