FEMARA
Inc. is the organization that sponsors and runs the ARRL New
England Division Convention. The group, which has been in existence
for over 30 years, began as a consortium of area radio clubs.
Thier goals are twofold; to offer the richest and most diverse
ARRL Convention in the country, and to support the ARRL Foundation’s
scholarship program.
CTRI members have been donating their help to FEMARA since 2000
and hope that other clubs will join us this year supporting
FEMARA in their goal to make The New England Convention a complete
success. You can contact them at: K1TWF@boxboro.org
NEW
REAL TIME SCORING WEBSITE GOES ONLINE
Matt Atwood, WE1H a charter member of
CTRI who designed Hamlogsonline.com
has been busy designing a new real time scoring web site called
RadioSportOnline.com
that is now up and running and is labled "The
World's Premier Online Radio Sport Score Server".
Matt tells us " The real guts behind RadioSportOnline.com
is the web site itself. The site is a Microsoft Active Server
Pages site, and listens for score updates via HTTP, saves them
to a Microsoft SQL Server Database, and serves them up dynamically
for each visitor". Score postings are made every minute
via HTTP (the same way your browser works, so there are no security
issues) so your score is always up to date. Currently, "RSO
Contest Monitor" works only with WriteLog
v10.x (big thanks to Wayne, W5XD and Ron, K5DJ for their
help!), but will hopefully be supported in other logging programs
soon. If you are a developer and would like to interface with
"RSO Contest Monitor", please see the developer FAQ's
page, there is a wealth of information as to how to interface
with the site.
