We are glad to see one more logger get online scoring support. It’s Software Defined Contest (SDC) provided by Vlad, UT4LW.

Please follow to the instructions for the SDC setup at https://blog.contestonlinescore.com/configuring-sdc-software-defined-connector-logger/

More details about that logger and other HAM Radio software products at https://www.lw-sdc.com/

The Contest Online ScoreBoard is not supporting the Russian DX Contest in 2024 due to the RDXC treating Ukrainian regions as Russian. They are clearly and deliberately violating International amateur radio agreements as this would promote illegal country or region activations in amateur radio terms:

• Donetsk region
• Lugansk region
• Kherson region
• Zaporozhye region

We see an obvious HAM Spirit violation by involving dirty politics into HAM Radio contesting.

Support for the RDXC will be re-evaluated next year.

Congratulations! As we see the Online Scoring in HAM Radio contests is becoming more and more popular!

A few more stats numbers:

• As of December 2023 there are more 12 000 callsigns in our database.
• The biggest number of actively published callsigns in one contest (usually CQ WW CW and CQ WW SSB) was over 1050.
• The biggest number of actively published callsigns simultaneously in a few different contests was over 1300!

A new section has been added to the COSB filter options at https://contestonlinescore.com/filter/. The new section name is Overlay/Station:

The COSB progressive performance graph view has been changed from liner to bars. That’s how it looks today:
