Stonehenge Demystified December 6th, 2006

Ever Wondered how Stonehenge was created? Watch the video

For centuries folks have marveled at Stonehenge. How did the ancients erect such a monument without modern technology? Did aliens perhaps! Nah… it turns out that moving and lifting big rocks isn’t as tough as we’ve been led to believe. This video seems to show that Stonehenge and probably the pyramids in Egypt could have been relatively simple projects — if the ancients were anywhere as sharp as this Michigan Grandpa

Contest Scores in real time!!!

Getscores.org - Realtime Contest ScoresGerry Hull (W1VE) on October 19, 2006 View comments about this article!
Fellow Contesters, Through the encouragement of many, I deceided to take on the project of creating a usable web portal for realtime score reporting. The result has been in alpha testing for the past couple of weeks. It will be fully functional for the CQWW SSB and SS CW contests. You can view the portal at http://www.getscores.org History The idea behind this site is based on prior work by Bruce, WA7BMN, with his contest XML dtd, with modifications by N1MMLogger creator, Tom, N1MM. Dave, K1TTT provided a lot of insight. Tested and Ready We have been testing the site with the N1MM logger. The latest version of N1MM fully supports score posting. Marios, 5B4WN/G0WWWW, is working on an upload module for Win-Test and has a beta of it on his site. Open, Programmable API Getscores.org supports a SOAP-based Web Service API. The success of the site will depend on participation and the support of software vendors. There are links on the live.getscores.org site for FAQs. Fun for Contesters and Non-Contesters Alike! The viewing site supports many filters, so that you can look at only what you want to look at. Filter by Class, Power, CQ Zone, IARU Zone, State/Prov and lots more. Your filter preferences are saved as a cookie by your browser for up to 7 days. The page automatically refreshes every 1,5 or 10 minutes -- your choice. You can look at overall score or detailed breakdowns, and see where you (or your best friend/worst enemy) stand in real time. Support for all the contests listed on the site will be fully operational soon, as well as an RSS feed. Stay tuned. If you have any questions or suggestions about the site, please send them to me at the email addresses provided on the site, or via gerry@w1ve.com As we get closer to CQWW, I'll be looking at the site to ensure it is fully operational under load. It is hosted at a very large facility with high burst-bandwidth capabilities.
