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 R-CW-C - 2018":

 

1 The table contains callsigns of participants who have at least 11 radio contacts with any marathon activators;

The advantage (higher place) is the participant having the greater number of credited contacts (points);

 

2 With equal number of credited contacts (points), the advantage is given to a participant who has more active activators in his account;

With an equal number of credited contacts (points) and an equal number of activated activators, the participant has the advantage, having conducted his contacts on more bands.

 

3 If all the conditions listed in clause 4 (equal to QSO, activators and Bands) are equal, the participant has the advantage, who showed his result earlier (the time of the last credited QSO).

 

At the end of the marathon and the last filling of the log into the base, the standings are fixed and the final determination of the winners takes place. To fully sum up the results and accept claims from the marathon participants, 4 days are assigned, after which the winners and the final number of holders of diplomas "R-CW-C-2018 Telegraph Marathon" are determined.
