Upcoming Changes
There are no changes scheduled at the present time.
All Programs have been re-organized to follow the ISO-3166-2 standard.
In the following weeks, we will:
- “re-math” all the data. This means that we have to rebuild all the
statistics and metrics for all QSOs to resolve some issues with the numbers. - Create a report for each program with some details on all the changes.
- Regenerate awards to match the proper statistics and new Program names, Location codes, etc.
We will document more on these initiatives in the near future.
Also, we still have a number of follow-up issues to address, SOME of these issues include:
GB Great Britain...
uses a THREE level system in ISO-3166-2, but we only support a TWO level system. A few other countries also do this (eg:IE Ireland
,ES Spain
), but it doesn’t appear to have the same level of impact there. We are continuing to evaluate how we can deal with this.- DX Entities which are “orphans” in the system. This means they aren’t currently and/or properly linked to the right Program. Most of these are super rare and/or don’t have any parks in them yet, etc.
