2010 WRTC – Spots analysis MS Excel workbook by Bob K0RC

Bob K0RC has put together an ms Excel workbook so the spots data can be sorted as you please. You can download it by clicking here.
Thanks so much Bob for your help. I really was pleased when I received the news from Al 4L5A about the overspotting performed by Willy UA9BA. R36F is not any of the top teams. Nonetheless the impact of such actions is still there because the teams below R36F should be some places higher in the final standings.
Al also noted that spotting is not the only way of cheerleading and I believe he is right. Hopefully this can be reviewed for future editions of WRTC.

2010 WRTC – Sixteen hours into it!

2010 WRTC first seven hours.
Looks like the top seven teams are really having fun!! The QSO average is really nice for the first seven hours. The top three possitions changed a little throughout this period. Hope the all have lots of fun.
Remember that there is a dx spots analysis that automatically updates every hour so feel free to take a look at it at: http://www.5bits.net/lu5dx/2010-wrtc-spots-analysis/ nothing to fancy just a simple breakdown of the spots that the WRTC stations are producing, overall and hour by hour.

RUFZxp: Going up in the standings!
Still far from top QRQers but climbing from place 29th to 23rd
in the RUFZxp high speed CW competition. This time reached 412 CPM (82 wpm) during this attempt. But still not achieving consistent copy over 500 CPM. Problem still being “S”, “H”, “V”, “U”, “B”, and “D”. Max Speed ever with RUFZ is 507 CPM (102 WPM). Errors during this session 18. Mostly V, U, H, and S. Session started at 250 CPM. I’m gonna keep trying till I get in the top 10….
Below you can watch QRQ demi-God: Fab DJ1YFK running stations at 100 WPM using JE3MAS’s PED Contest Simulator.
PED has a nice feature that allows you to load a .txt and generate QRQ CW. This is cool for increasing your QRQ capabilities. Words or phrases instead of callsings will help you keep going QRQ.
