The criteria is the activation of an individual activator with highest
number of QSOs.
Hi,
I understand that is the largest number of QSOs in a “single operator”?, if so, there is a station at least they called several operators with the same call, even in 2 bands simultaneously.

Indeed, taking a sample of the log of EA5WP 706 EA5/CS-001 03/09/2011
There no limit on the number of operators in an activation. As long as the each operator made a person powered final ascent and followed the rules on generators, fixed antennas etc. then you could have 4 operators each make 1 QSO on a different band at the same time using the same callsign. The whole activation could be over in under a minute.

You seem to forget Andy, the SOTA Management Team wants nothing to do with any official highest acivation score list. So quoting SOTA rules in an unofficial highest score list is at best, a bit rich…
How this is run should be decided amongst the activators themselves and having two operators working at the same time on an activation and then claiming the highest score, most certainly dosen’t work for me.
I’d be interested to hear the other Activators comments on this…
Vlado originally asked for highest QSO count in a single activation. He did say he was especially interested if it was a single activator. He didn’t say no multiple activations. It is the first post in this thread.
The record score of EA5WP was added on the rank list based on the database research. Jose, EA5WP maybe is not aware that we put his score on the top of the rank list of single operator activations. I checked his activation LOG and find that Mike, 2E0YYY is right, this operation was probably run at least by two operators and two stations simultainesly. This is not fault for valid SOTA activation, but has effect on our topic. The score of EA5WP will be deleted from the rank list. Of course Jose, EA5WP has right to join this discution and if he wish he may to submit the same score for this listing declaring that the activation was done by single operator.
Vlado, Z35M

True, but each operator’s contacts must be counted separately. General Rule 3.7.1(11) is very clear on this matter. Each of the operators should enter their contacts under their own database account. The fact that they used the same callsign is irrelevant and the rules say so explicitly.
then you could have 4
operators each make 1 QSO on a different band at the same time using
the same callsign. The whole activation could be over in under a
minute.
None of the operators would have qualified the summit.

Hi Martyn,
Thanks for taking the time to clear this matter up…

Hi Vlado, thanks for looking into this matter.
There are SOTA activators who put a lot of time an effort into long activations. As it stands at the moment, the unnofficial rules need to be sorted out so that everyone is using the same rule book.
No single country should have an unfair advantage over every other country.
I’ll be in touch with you in due course with some suggestions to improve the way this type of activation is conducted…
Ah, yes Martyn, you are quite right about the 4 QSO each. So the whole activation could be over in a couple of minutes rather than 1.
As for this case it looks to be a logging error if there were multiple operators. They should have been logged under the individual activator’s accounts but with the callsign used rather than all in one account.
However, I think my database query would have still returned the same count and callsign even if they were in separate user accounts as it looks at the activator logs which stores callsign used which can be different to the activator’s call. The webpage for these stats runs on the database at home not the public one so I can’t check now.
Note: This listing is NOT an official honor roll. The list is updated
with data submitted by activators themselves. Activators may request
their score be excluded from the list.
Four contacts on CW and 3 contacts on SSB in 1 minute by a single
operator, can only be described as “impressive”!
Maybe The clock was faulty Mike
Just like the faulty tape measure i used to make sure my 60m ant is below 5m agl
I struggle with 7wpm cw let alone 7 qso’s HI
See you in Blackpool

It would be very interesting if we had the possibility to query sotadata and extract this info direct from the database. But as this topic is kind of old, maybe it’s already possible. Anyone know about it?
