not seeing you on the waterfall,  turned on my pre-amp and only got more noise.

i am putting out somewhere in the 15 to 20 watts on my little rig according to my separate power meter.  the radio gods do not appear to be smiling on 30M currently.

will try till around 1930 hoping for a contact, then drop off if no one is seen.

Re: YET ANOTHER CORRECTION - to 24/7 Endorsement standing.- ADDENDUM!

Well, maybe eventually I'll get it right.  

6. Clicking on the "Have" "Total" "Target" number shows you ALL your remaining unfilled day/time slots. The list that displays can be copied and pasted into Word, Excel, or another program of your choosing.

The Addendum to the First Method should read:

6. Clicking on the "Have" "Total" number shows you ALL your remaining unfilled day/time slots. The list that displays can be copied and pasted into Word, Excel, or another program of your choosing.

Apologies for the error.

Stan - W9SMR added a very neat trick to the First Method that greatly increases its utility.  Here's the Addendum:

6. Clicking on the "Have" number shows you ALL your remaining unfilled day/time slots. The list that displays can be copied and pasted into Word, Excel, or another program of your choosing.

Thanks Stan for this very useful improvement to the First Method!

Tnx for the job you and the others that are keeping the boat afloat are doing.  We all appreciate your efforts.  I don't want to throw another problem your way but I've had contacts with three of the newer members and haven't gotten LONP credit.  Looking at the Alpha list, the members after #2786 are not on the members list.  How do we update the list?

Thanks Rick and I too am very grateful that they have taken on this massive project.  I just wish I could in some small way help out, however, I probably know just enough to be dangerous and I’m sure they don’t want that.

Re: Endorsement Award Checker

This is what the checker spit out this morning. Unfortunately this is the 2rd or 43th time in as many weeks. Duh ! The checker has dementia !

K4VBM has already been credited these endorsements. This is not the only one because there are a few others who who have gone into "reruns". This checker is undoubtedly on its last legs.


" Endorsements have been submitted:

K4VBM 2020-10-16 ALL-GRID [100]
K4VBM 2020-10-16 ALL-GRID [50]
K4VBM 2020-10-16 ALL-GRID-CT
K4VBM 2020-10-16 ALL-GRID-DE
K4VBM 2020-10-16 ALL-GRID-MA
K4VBM 2020-10-16 ALL-GRID-MD
K4VBM 2020-10-16 ALL-GRID-RI"

I had forgotten about the progress checker.  I printed it out this morning and am cross checking with my own matrix.  Thanks for continuing with the new endorsement checker.

Re: Finding your 24/7 Endorsement standing.

Actually, there are a couple of different ways to check your 24/7 progress.  The first method works for anyone regardless of how many hourly slots they have filled.  The second method only works for those that have achieved the first Award Level - 72 time slots filled.

First Method
1.  Open the 070 Award Checker, find your callsign and click on it.
2.  In the window that opens, look in the Yellow section "IN PROGESS," and find the line for "24x7".  
3.  The number in the "Have" column is the total number of hourly slots you have filled towards the total 168.
4.  The number in the "Target" column is the next Award Level you are working towards.
5. Clicking on the "Have" number shows you the time slots you have filled towards your next award level, and the detail of the QSO that filled it. (Note: it is not cumulative and only displays the QSOs since achieving your last award.  If you have achieved "Level 072" you cannot use it to determine all the slots you have filled or have yet to fill.  For that you need the Second Method.)
 
Second Method - (note: This only works for those who have achieved the "Level 072" or higher.  It is the method Bob KK6KMU cited in his post.)
1.  Open the 070 Award Checker, find your callsign and click on it.
2.  In the window that opens, look for the box    
3.  Click on "070-24x7
4.  In the table that appears, find your call sign and click on it.  (Note: the date hyperlinks associated with award level completions do not work.  This is part of our old software problems.  Please be patient.  They are working very hard on creating a new endorsement checker!)
5.  The page that opens is your personal progress PDF.
6.  The two grids cover all 168 time slots.  Days of the week are displayed on the vertical axis.  The horizontal axis is UTC hour block, with the left hand grid covering 00 UTC through 11 UTC while the right hand grid covers 12 UTC through 23 UTC.  Completed Hour Block/Days are green while those still to be completed are white.  This is a very handy visual way to determine which hour block on which days you still need.

24x7 is a tough, but really fun, challenge!  Great to see the collaboration of those working on it.  You guys go!

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,

Thanks for being there at O'Dark thirty for 2 contacts.  I'll try to be there and get some of those other slots filled in. I was late this morning and missed my chance.

It's fun chasing endorsements.  I made a spreadsheet of the hours I've already worked and can see which ones I need now easier.   A simple 24 X7 grid works well.
I have one for my 366 also and see I have 6 months completed. One date (12th) needed in Nov and Dec 18, 27,28, and 29 to get me done until the end of the year.  Lots of Jan dates which I usually miss due to travel.  Might get them in 2021 due to travel restrictions.
