VHF/UHF/SHF CONTEST
LIVE SCORING board
Publishing contest score in real time proves to be highly motivating to you and your competitors, it
makes contesting even more fun. We believe that such a platform would further help in promoting
contesting activity and communication within the EU VHF&up community.
For a couple of years the SLOVHF web portal http://www.slovhf.net/index.php has had the capability
of live contest scoring during VHF/UHF/SHF contests. Stations that would like to share their score
during or after the end of the contest can publish their score on the web page
http://www.slovhf.net/claimed.html automatically or manually.
The basic requirement for being able to publish the score is registration on the SLOVHF web page
(the registration form is located at the bottom left side of the web page). We suggest that you use
your amateur call sign for your user name. After successfully registering and logging in, you can,
among other things, publish your contest score on live scoring board/claimed score board during and
after the contest.
To manually publish your contest score you first need to log your call and score, after which you can
update your entered score and comments (like ODX) at any time.
Automatic publishing of contest scores is fancier; at the moment this can be done with two contest
log software tools – VHFctest4Win (author S52AA) and N1MM or N1MM+ (author N1MM group).
How can N1MM / N1MM+ be used for VHF contesting and live scoring on the
SLOVHF.net live scoring board?
We assume that you are familiar with N1MM/N1MM+ software, which is available at
http://n1mm.hamdocs.com/tiki-index.php
After installing the tool you need to select the correct log type for the VHF/UHF/SHF contest (for all
regular “first weekend in the month” and IARU R1 VHF/UHF/SHF contests the correct type is
VHFREG1).
Next, you need to set the Score Reporting Server address in the Score Reporting Tab
(http://n1mm.hamdocs.com/tikiindex.php?page=Configurer#Configurer_REAL_GT_Score_Reporting_Tab ) as shown in next picture.
You should replace the highlighted login name with your SLOVHF login name, created when you
registered.
Finally, select Report Real-Time Score to Server (circled in red).
N1MM+ is now configured and in a couple of minutes you should see your contest score published
on the SLOVHF live score board.
Using VHFCtest4Win for live scoring on SLOVHF.net live scoring board
To enable live scoring function go to Tools->Options menu and choose Announcing tab, check publish
to web (slovhf.net) checkbox and enter your slovhf.net username. This will enable PUBLISH button
where you can manually push your current score to slovhf.net live scoring board.
Auto publishes every (min) checkbox enables VHFCtest4Win to automatically publish your score to
slovhf.net server every X min.
Enjoy the contest
