How to Run This Slide Show

The usual PowerPoint presentation is a very linear affair, you just move from one slide to the next. If you try that with this one, you will get totally messed up as it uses hyperlinks to arrange the order of the slides.

So, use the mouse to click on the forward and back arrows at the top of the slide to move to the next or previous slide.

Click on the underlined hyperlinks in the slides to see more detail

To get to the first slide in the show from here you can either click on the Forward arrow at the top right of this slide or you can click on this hyperlink

Problems? Hyperlink structure explanation


PROBLEMS?

• The presentation was generated using MS PowerPoint 2000

WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT

• OBJECTIVE

• DESCRIPTION

• SCOPE


OBJECTIVE

• To stimulate contest participation in the Pacific North West region.


DESCRIPTION

• A friendly competition among 4 Clubs in the PNW region (plus Idaho)

• The winner is the club with the greatest total number of contest points accumulated in major contests during the Sep to Jul contest season

• The Trophy is presented to the winning club at the PNW DX Convention


WHICH CLUBS?

• BCDXC• W Wash DXC• Willamette Valley DXC• Spokane DXA, • Orca is not currently a participant but we have

applied to become one.– Hard to imagine that we wouldn't be accepted.

– Hopefully before CQ WW SSB at the end of this month but probably not


WHICH CONTESTS?

• CQWWDX RTTY• CQWWDX SSB• CQWWDX CW• ARRL RTTY ROUNDUP• CQWPX RTTY• ARRL DX CW• ARRL DX SSB• CQ WPX SSB• CQ WPX CW• IARU


SCOPE

• OVERALL CLUB REGION BOUNDARY

• MEMBERSHIP


OVERALL CLUB REGION BOUNDARY

• Operations are restricted to stations located in: – BC– WA– OR– ID

• ID because a number of members of Spokane DXA live in ID


MEMBERSHIP

• For a member's points to count for a particular contest she must: – Be a member in good standing of at least one

of the clubs at the time of the contest– Have operated from a station located within

the Overall Club Region Boundary• Doesn't have to be a member's station


CLUB MEMBER POINTS CONTRIBUTION

• HOW DOES A CLUB MEMBER EARN PNW CUP POINTS?

• HOW ARE THEY ALLOCATED TO THE CLUBS?

• HOW ARE THEY SUBMITTED SO THEY GET TO COUNT FOR THE PNW CUP?


HOW A CLUB MEMBER EARNS PNW CUP POINTS

• SINGLE OP

• MULTI-OP


SINGLE OP

• The points earned by a Single-Op member in a particular contest is equal to the claimed raw score made in the contest– No supporting documentation required - just

the claimed score– Doesn't matter who owns the station– Doesn’t matter whose call is used


MULTI-OP

• AT A MEMBER’S STATION

• AT A NON-MEMBER’S STATION


AT A MEMBER'S STATION

• Any member's station - doesn't matter which Club

• The total points made by the station are divided equally among the members.– Non-members are ignored in this calculation

• EXAMPLE


MEMBER’S STATION POINTS EXAMPLE

• VE7UM makes 1M points. He has 10 newbie ops who don't belong to any of the clubs, himself, 2 ops from WWDXC and 1 from BCDXC

• The members each get 1/4 of the total points or 250K to allocate as they see fit– Normally this would mean that Orca gets 1/4 =

250k points, WWDXC gets 2/4 = 500k and BCDXC gets 1/4 = 250k


AT A NON-MEMBER'S STATION

• Each member receives a pro-rata share of the points made by the station based on the total number of operators, including non-members

• EXAMPLE


NON-MEMBER’S STATION POINTS EXAMPLE

• VE7XYZ (a non-member) makes 4M points• There are 8 ops• 1 belongs to BCDXC and 2 to Orca. The rest are

non-members• Each member gets 1/8 = 500k points to allocate

as they see fit– Normally this would mean that BCDXC would get

500K and Orca would get 1M


HOW THE POINTS ARE ALLOCATED TO THE CLUBS• A member may allocate his share of the

points accumulated at a station to any or all of the clubs in any proportion that he chooses


HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR POINTS

• E-mail raw score to VE7FO – [email protected]

– Don't forget to say how your points are to be allocated

OR• Post to 3830

– http://www.hornucopia.com/3830score/

– Your points will be allocated to whichever club you name in your 3830 post


WHAT IS 3830?

• Back in the day at the end of a contest a number of folks would gather at 3830 kHz to announce their raw scores and swap stories about the contest

• Raw scores and stories can now be found at http://lists.contesting.com/_3830/


HOW DO WE KNOW HOW WE’RE DOING?

• Once the deadline for a particular contest has passed, the PNW Cup Coordinators at each club post all their member's scores to a common spreadsheet

• Each club posts the spreadsheet on their website

• Here's what it looks like (online version)


THE END

• Further details on the PNW Cup Competition will be announced on the Orca web site as they become available

• Thank you for your attention
