A common part:

To organize the work of amateur radio stations within the framework of the rally and telegraph marathon, as well as automated download of completed diplomas, the RCWCLog service is organized on the rcwc.ru website.

Activators at the end of each session on the air fill their logs in the database of the service. Repeated contacts: (Worked + Call + Band coincidences) are tracked at the time of filling and automatically deleted by the ROBOT, leaving the connection first in date and time.

 

Note: Communication with an activator radio station operating under special conditions and having an optional fractional part (/M, /P, /QRP) in its callsign is counted as a connection to the callsign without this optional fractional part, ie R4CP/6, R4CP/6/M, R4CP/6/P - in the telegraph marathon are considered one callsign and are entered in RCWCLog as R4CP/6. Accordingly, R4CP/6 and R4CP are two different callsigns.

 

Logs are available for viewing to all radio amateurs both registered on the site and to the guests of the club.

RCWC Log uses the UTC time.

 

With each new filling of any log into the database (with each change of the base), a tournament table is automatically generated, the task of which is to allocate seats among the participants of the marathon at the current time.

 

The principle of allocation of seats in the standings of the "Telegraph Marathon".

2 An advantage (higher place) has a participant who has a larger number of counted radio communications (points);

3 With an equal number of counted radio communications (points), a participant with a larger number of activated activators has an advantage;

4 With an equal number of counted radio communications (points) and an equal number of activated activators, a participant who has conducted his radio communications over a larger number of bands has an advantage.

5 If all conditions listed in item 4 (QSO equality, activators and Bands) are equal, the participant who showed his result earlier in time (the time of the last QSO counted) has an advantage.
