real time scores this weekend

[K1TTT]

This weekend I have set up the real time scoreboard at
http://www.getscores.org for the ARRL 160m contest and the TARA RTTY Melee.

Remember, if there are more contests you would like to see on there get me
the Cabrillo identifier for it a week or so ahead of time.

I just made a change to the page generation so that in single band contests
it won't matter if you select 'all' bands or just the specific band for your
contest setup. This removes the separate categories that were being
displayed on the 160m contest page and groups them together properly.

There appears to be a bug in the writelog posting process, it seems to be
sending the breakdown for the band but not the total qso's and mults. I
could probably work around this but it might have consequences for other
contests. For now if the count of q's and mults is missing in the summary
section of the page look in the breakdown section by clicking on the link
for the callsign and it will probably be there.

Also, those who are reporting single-operator-assisted should note that in
the arrl 160m contest there is no category for that, if you use the spotting
network you are multi-op.

Ok, second improvement of the day... I removed the 'Mode' column for single
mode contests since some were reporting 'CW' and others 'ALL'.

Hey Dave,

In the midst of putting up a double-inverted-L so I can play in the 160...

Why not do a filter on USA/DX -- so that all USA and all DX grouped together.  Very weird to see DX scores mixed with US,  Should be simple addition to your LINQ query.

Yeah, it could be a simple change… but I’m trying not to put in all the bells and whistles so they have something to look forward to when you get the full featured stuff working.

Ok, besides the two changes for single mode and single band displays, I just
removed the restriction of only one score per station... this means that if
you are in two contests the same weekend the scores for both will be
persistent. This also means that Monday when you start posting 'dx' log
totals or set up for the next contest early your score won't disappear from
the previous weekend's contest result.

I have already set up the scoreboard for the ARRL 10m Contest for this
coming weekend. Let me know if you see any problems with the single
band/multi-mode setup. I am still thinking about how to do breakdowns by
mode, that may or may not get done by this weekend.
