I finally have evaluated the results of Winter QRP plant. I apologize for the longer time, but I was indisposed. When I was leaving Holice, I discovered that I could see the lights of oncoming cars differently with one eye than with the other. By the middle of December, I could only see colored spots on that eye. I had cataract surgery at the beginning of the year. There was a certain period when I dripped four different drops four times a day, at least a quarter of an hour apart. Some complications were added, so I couldn't stand looking at the display for very long. Taxes were added to this, which for me means swelling around 600 lines of the cash diary. The race is evaluated, so a few notes.
As for me, I was out of the game. Due to the ophthalmologist's warning not to look into the bright light, I agreed that we would go in pairs. The mast is not erected without looking at the sky. Unfortunately, my partner got sick, the substitute couldn't, and the last helper gave up on me the morning before the race. I could not build the mast myself, because a two-man setup was chosen. So I stayed home and gave out points on verticals from the window.
The weather was mixed this year. On the one hand, a warm wave arrived, so compared to last year's flood of snow, it was pleasant, on the other hand, the tree frogs were also hit with a warning of a relatively rushing wind. He probably took it from the kilometer, because after the start of the race there was a big roar here in Prague. Conditions overall not great, the longest connection on 144 MHz was 600 km, on 432 MHz ODX it was 710 km, but that was an exception. Many long connections were made by telegraph, which is thought provoking for the uninitiated. The station UT5DV was a diversion of the plant.
Errors in the diaries arose mainly when copying from paper diaries. For some stations, I caught the wrong date and time even before the deadline, I returned them for correction. For others, I found out about it only during the evaluation. I decided not to penalize it because when sending logs via the web interface the bot would figure it out and return the log right away, plus it's not part of the commit code. There were several pairs of connections where one was faulty but I couldn't decide which one as I didn't get a log from the counter station and the internet didn't help either. For example from OM3CQF, two stations wrote down the received number 004, which he didn't give about twice, when I found the previously received numbers 001 and 002 from him. The guys from OK1KIK managed to screw up when, after changing the operator, they started giving another big square. It confused me quite a bit before I figured out how things were. At least I tried to see what confusion the station rover would make in the evaluation. If this is taken, it will be a strength.
I managed to delete all incoming emails with logs from the factory when reinstalling the mail client. I have saved my own diaries, I am also able to find the email addresses of the participants, but it is difficult for me to associate the caller with an email address, unless it is obvious from it. I will try to send errorlists to those I identify, I apologize to others. A little statistics at the end. In total, I evaluated 1499 connections, roughly half of what I did after the summer QRP race. A total of 43,376 points were reported on 432 MHz, 136,167 points on 144 MHz.
