3830scores.com is an unofficial scoreboard that Contesters use to post their scores after a contest. It allows you to see how you did immediately because getting official score results usually takes weeks if not months.

It will break-down the scores by Class & Power, score, and even individual. It also has a feature to compare your score against others. One of my favorites is reading everyone's comments.

Speaking of Clubs, be sure to include "Sierra Foothills ARC". You can then search in your browser other members who posted. So far, Dennis, WU6X, and W6EK are the only two who have posted. So get your callsign up there too. If you are curious, WU6X beat W6EK by a differiental of 3 to 1 :-(

Again, the url is https://www.3830scores.com/. If you have any questions on how to post, let me or Dennis know and we can walk you through it.

Hope to see your callsign up there soon!

Good Morning Everyone!

First, Mark thank you for the kind words!  I am so glad you had a great time for Field Day this year!  I hope you made at least five contacts!  You would qualify for the Rookie award.  

Second, I will host another Field Day Q&A this Thursday, July 2, on GoToMeeting.com after the W6EK 2m Net with a focus on submitting to ARRL.  I will save my submission until then so you can see how it is done.

If you have specific questions before then, post them to this groups.io thread, i.e. hit the Reply link below, and I will be sure to be prepared.

Orion,

 

First thanks for the help and pointers in getting started in my first field day. It forced me to learn a lot about my radio and setting up an adhoc antennas for HF. I built a modified Fan Dipole that gave me 40m, 20m and 15m access to a limited degree. I could not generate enough signal to punch through the noise. But I learned that with a pile of speaker wire, some PVC and a lot of patience you can make an HF antenna which was a lot of fun.

 

As to the log,

 

I tried submitting through N3FJP, file->write Cabrillo so I clicked that and it says they don’t want that so I don’t know. I’m just skipping the whole ARRL submittal thing, sorry, just too confusing for a first timer.

 

The log (see attached) generated by Cabrillo(?) does not seem to have what you needed.  I grabbed a list from N3FJP that seems to have what you needed, pasted it into Excel and attached it here. Hopefully that is okay.

 

I show 5 contacts, I also touched base with Brian a couple of times over the 24 hours, which reassured me that I was actually transmitting ;>}

 

Thanks so much for pulling this all together and answer my questions.

 Hi Mark,

I'm trying to figure out the log thing too, combining what WSJT-X created with what I have on paper from phone contacts.

One note on your submission...  The club is Sierra Foothills ARC.  Foothills should be plural.

Good luck!

Hi folks,

If you're interested in trying your hand at a satellite contact, or even
just listening in to what will surely be a bit of a zoo in the sky,
attached is some satellite pass information that might help you. The
two pass charts (Saturday 11am to 11pm, and 11pm to 11am Sunday) show
the various satellites that I have in my database (which needs some
serious cleanup!) on the vertical axis, and time going across the
horizontal. Circled passes might be the better ones, based only on how
high they are. No promises.

Also is an old copy of the AMSAT Satellite Frequency Chart, as a quick
reference. You will also need an idea of where the satellite will be.
Amsat.org has tools under https://www.amsat.org/ mouse over the
Satellite Info tab.

Enjoy!
