There are a ton of bad entries in QRZ.
HRD gathers them in. I keep an eye on
my log and double check every IOTA entry.

FYI.  You can find you 24/7 Endorsement status with the awards progress checker. Once you have achieved 72 out of 168 hours you show up on the award list.  Find you callsign on the list and select it.  A pdf file appears with a grid of hours needed  and filled.  If anyone knows and easier way please share.

Jim,
Glad to hear you are feeling better.  Get well.
 Bob KK6KMU

I am sorry I am missing all the fun.  

I have been down for several weeks, caused by a case of flu/slight pneumonia.  It has taken all my strength away, and recovery has been slow.  

It caused to miss the Pumpkin sprint, which I had been looking forward to operate with a new antenna.

Have fun guys,

Jim K5SP

Stan, I can do that again.
I've marked my shack calendar.
40m worked well, and 80m for my contacts with you.
Again, I'll have W6QP on hand for anyone needing 070-1454 for LONP.

Alan's ka5vzg scheme to pick off these ugly mid-nite hours is working FB for me. And Bob, you are doing a fine job of keeping us on track. I'll be with you for another week at least. I need every day 08:00 and 09:00

And I do need 10:00 on Oct. 20 to 24. Hopefully I can find somebody willing to get up early or stay up late.

Great fun!!

Had two new additions to our early morning 24/7 Endorsement meets. Glad to see Dave KB3RAN and Sam KM6UGZ. Forty meters seemed to be better for me than 80 meters. This weeks meet time is 06:45 - 07:15 UTC. I normally try to start early about 06:30 UTC. Hope to see you on the waterfall.

Just a reminder that IOTA data in QRZ is not always correct, which is why we don't use it to verify the endorsement. Since I have been doing the IOTA endorsement for the club, I have seen some bad entries in QRZ, and that is because the person entering it has no idea what IOTA means and just picks what they think  makes sense, and I get that.  You see an entry for your state and you pick it.

Two of the best examples of an invalid entry are 2 callsigns I ran across from Florida (USA):  I won't call them out here, but they list their IOTA as OC-158  (Florida Islands in the Pacific).

I don't know which logging program picks up the IOTA data from QRZ, but if there is a way to turn that specific field off (doubt it), please do.

podxs.com is not the right website for the club (it’s podxs070.com).

I’ll need more specific information to troubleshoot.

In your case, Bob; I have an entry for KF3AA, so it looks like your upload was successful. What, exactly, are you seeing that makes you think it didn’t work?

Barry, what are you seeing? I do NOT see an upload entry for yours, so something is definitely off in your case, but I need screenshots, error output, etc to see what’s going on.

Apologies for full screen capture

Can somebody post something so I can see if I have it set up correctly?

Come on down !! :-)

There have been three of us KK6KMU/Bob in CA, K4VBM/Bob in GA, and me KA5VZG/Alan in TN who have made it every slot so far.
I have been starting on 3.580 between xx30-xx45.  CA-Bob, KK5KMU has been covering 7.070 initially, and GA-Bob, K4VBM has been initially floating
so both 40m and 80m should be covered, check the Chat because we all usually post our intentions.
Usually one of us will spot the trace on the waterfall, if we can't decode, maybe the others can.  If your getting no response post a note on the Chat and
we will make an effort to get you. We can try other bands. I know K4VBM worked a few on 160m last week.  CA-Bob can pick up a lot that the rest of us can't decode
because he is so far west. 
Check in and make sure we find you.  It only takes two to make a QSO and we will make sure the right two meet.
