I’ve just posted some prototype code to the database that allows a simple view of the bands / modes used in each activation uploaded.
You don’t have to be logged in to do this, so…
Select “View Results”=>“Activator Roll Of Honour”. Then click “View” against a callsign (maybe yours maybe not). You get the normal activator breakdown for the last 12 months. There is a new checkbox “show analysis”.
Click the “show analysis” box and click show. The display now has a band and mode breakdown.
The first box is the band break down for 160/80/60/40/30/20/17/15/12/10/6/4/2/70cm/23cm (read down the text). Underneath you can see the following chars for each band.
_ means no QSO on this band.
Y means that you had 4 or more QSOs on this band and so qualified the summit on this band
1/2/3 means you had 1 or 2 or 3 QSOs on this band
Then we get the mode breakdown for SSB/CW/FM. Again you get the same display.
From these you can see which bands and modes were used and whether you qualified the summit on a particular band or mode.
Now this is experiment code. It works but the display is ugly, obviously designed by someone who used 80col punched cards in their youth If you think this is useful I’ll spend some time trying to make it less engineer-drawn and more shiny.
When will I receive my YY__YY_Y_2 certificate?
Now serious, thank you for the new tool Andy! The more the data can be analysed, the better.
73, _YYY_11___1
N.B.:
The first time I looked the new analysis page, the new columns appeared without the bluish colour on the headers. Refreshing the browser cache, all was displayed right.
I should have said if it looked really, really ugly you should refresh your cache. There was an update to the CSS and that gets cached and sticks even when it changes on the webserver. An update or restart of the browser fixes it.
That was quick! Still not quite right for individual years on 70cm.
For example, M0VCM activations 2014. Three were 70cm only
(Buckden Pike, White Hill, and Botley Hill) but don’t get their Y.
They are fine with -All Entries- so must be quite a subtle issue.
An idea for the future Tof. The main reason for this was to make Barry’s job of checking activation claims easier. e.g. if someone claimed 1000pt all CW, Barry can view their history, select analysis and find where they reach 1000pts. If there is a “Y” in every row for CW then he knows the claim is valid and doesn’t need to do anything else.
So it gives a quick validity check which is important because the number of claims is getting quite significant now.
I received a number of requests for something similar for chaser logs so the same analysis is supported there now. I also fixed a wee feature that has bugged me for a while. There are now 3 extra filter options for chaser logs, show unconfirmed only, show confirmations and the new show analysis. In order for any of these to work you must be logged in. In the past you could select these and the check mark would show but nothing extra happened. Now these options are greyed out if you are not logged in.
So log in, select Chaser Roll of Honour, select a user and in their log view select from the filter options and click show. When the analysis is drawn the original band and mode columns are suppressed just giving the breakdown view. Again the most common bands are included topband to 23cms and SSB/CW/FM.
I’m sure there is a bug waiting for someone in this update.
If you think this is useful I’ll spend some time trying to make it less engineer-drawn and more shiny.
