[Cwo] Log recovery for CWO

[John Miller]

Alan:

Is Sept. 22 the official log submission deadline?  Let me know....I can update the website immediately.

Regarding CWO Certificates:  Unfortunately, I have zero time to create certs for CWO 2013.  I'm swamped with many other projects.

Here's what Rob sent in his email reminder regarding Awards:

Awards
Beautiful trophy for winner of each session
Beautiful plaques for HP, LP and QRP winners of each session
Beautiful trophy for winner of combined session scores
Beautiful plaques for HP, LP and QRP winners of combined session scores

Since no one seemed to ask about certificates for CWO 2011 ---   and since Rob didn't mention them at all  in his email reminder -- my recommendation is to drop certificates altogether and concentrate on the trophies and plaques.

For the moment, I've removed the Certificate reference in the CWO Awards section on the website:

I chose that date so that I can take with me ALL the logs and work on them off-line. Internet access is NOT possible on this trip. The web site still shows the log deadline being Oct 5. Can that be updated?  I've already told others about the Sept 20 deadline including ARRL.

With my being out of internet reach for several weeks, that will put a dent into the results .. again.  However, if I can get access to the uploaded logs immediately (rather than wait until the deadline), then I can do this checking during the log submission time period. Hopefully, I can get the bad ones fixed (by communicating with the entrant) before I leave. That would be a significant time saver.
