Not speaking for everyone here but it could be that the varied methods of scoring and submitting PSK contest logs may prevent some folks from submitting their logs. The SSS/CW/RTTY have been contested long enough that scoring and submitting logs has been made easier over the years. It might seem that a standard such as Cabrillo (there are some orgs that do not accept Cabrillo) and a uniform scoring structure might help increase participation in the PSK contest. By the way, if you haven't given PSK contesting a try then you should. You will be pleasantly surprised at what you can achieve.
Floyd, KK3Q _____ From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:digitalra...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of EA4ZB Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 4:56 AM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Final results to EA PSK31 CONTEST Hello Andy: Really good question. For exemple: 2006-----> 173 logs-------> 7 USA stations-------> 3 F stations 2007-----> 210 logs-------> 9 USA stations-------> 1 F station 2008-----> 225 logs-------> 6 USA stations-------> 1 F station 2009-----> 368 logs-------> 11 USA stations-----> 1 F station Why? Who's the psk lovers? Joaquin EA4ZB 2009/4/25, Andy obrien <k3uka...@gmail. <mailto:k3uka...@gmail.com> com>: A quick review of the results shows just 9 North American entrants out of 163 non-EA entries. Does this simply reflect the band conditions or illustrate a lack of interest in PSK as a contest mode ?
