Hello All.. I mentioned this before, so please do get upset with me about band width. I am the DXCC Checker for the Hudson Division. The sort does not get the checker upset.
All your cards are entered manually to a database. The callsign band and mode are kept in your file at the DXCC Desk. Then know the exact card ou submitted for DXCC credit. This was you can use the same card over and over for different DXCC awards, without resubmitting the card again. They like to just hit a dupe key for the multi-qso cards, and only change the band or mode for the same call. They do not have to reenter the call over and over again. Here is what happened to me. I submitted over 200 cards that I checked for one individual. He had his multiple qso at the end, sorted by band and mode. A few months later, his submissions was returned to him without his award and told, "to follow directions". All multi cards should be at the end sorted by call sign only. This is for what its worth. I felt bad for this guy, it was his first submission. I re typed it for him, and drove to Connecticut and walked in and out with his award. 73, Emil De KD1F -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wes (N7WS) and Linda Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 5:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dxbase] DXCC QSL sorting In an earlier message I wrote: "While giving cards with multiple QSOs a QSL number does put them on the bottom of the list, it doesn't group the QSOs for a given call together, which I believe is the idea. Instead with multiple cards with multiple QSOs, it sorts them by band and mode so that they are spread out all over the place. I'm not too sure the field checker is going to be happy about this...." I can report that, as I anticipated, the QSL checker was *VERY* unhappy (to put it mildly) with this. Fortunately, I also printed a copy of "Selected for next submission checklist" and was able to help him by coaching on the band and mode for each multiple QSO card so he could more easily search the application list. Those considering field submissions might do the same just in case.
