Real-time thoughts of a CQ WPX Contest Director
July 9th, 2009 by K2DSL

It is really interesting to follow the thoughts of Randy, K5ZD, who is the CQ WPX Contest Director as he works through processing all the logs for a contest.

Randy is posting his thoughts on Twitter at http://twitter.com/cqwpx , currently multiple times a day, working through the thousands of logs.

Comments like the following:

Fixing time errors in logs. Hard for the computer to match up QSOs when one station log is off by 15 mins or more. Time and date errors.

and

And then there are the guys who type their log in but don’t worry about times. The whole 2-8 hour log is within a 30 minute period!

are fun to read. If you’re not on Twitter but want to see all the updates, you should be able to get them via this Twitter RSS feed.

73,
K2DSL
