John Moyle Memorial Field Day - 16/17 March 2019

[VK4ADC]

This is Denis VK4AE Contest Manager for the John Moyle Memorial Field Day.

Logs have been arriving steadily and 140 logs have already been received which is not as many as the number received at this point after the contest last year.  The mixture is about 50% home stations.
The logs do not seem to have met with as many delivery difficulties this year and the direct e-mail address seems to be working well.

It is still highly recommended that once you have submitted your log you should check a bit later that your callsign has been added to the list of logs received.  If your call is not on the list, then it might not have been received.

A couple of logs have been submitted as a PDF which is just a picture and contains no more useful information to the contest than a picture of a flower as the data is not accessible electronically and hence usable to me.  In the same way a couple of logs were submitted using a Cabrillo format that does not contain all of the information required by the JMMFD rules and requires much extra work for the Contest Manager to attempt to fix those logs.

Some 14 club stations were operated during the contest that have not yet provided a log.  Perhaps, in your club you have to rely on Mr. Somebody to get the log done, get in touch and give him a hand to get it finished and submitted.  Have you considered getting a senior secondary student to complete the log for you?  Maybe you might inspire an interest in Ham Radio?

It is timely to remind you all that while there is not a lot of time left to submit the log and it will pass quickly and the final date is the 19th April 2019.  This is required by the very long lead times now for the AR Magazine.

Following this date all of the logs will be processed and the results prepared and made available soon after.  The results will be shown on the WIA contest page as soon as they are ready.

So check that your call is on the list, resend the log if it isn't. It might also be a good idea to submit your log now as you never know what can happen to delay you in the next few days.

Thanks for listening,  VK4AE
