CNPOTA activation by CJ7EWK/3 on 12 May, from Point Pelee Nat'l Park
Hi!
On Sunday, 12 May 2019, I operated as CJ7EWK/3 from Point Pelee National Park of Canada, southeast of Detroit and Windsor in grid EN81rx. I logged a total of 60 satellite QSOs from this location, and those QSOs were uploaded to Logbook of the World on that date. Thanks for the QSLs I have received via LOTW. Today, I just uploaded those 60 QSOs to the Canadian National Parks on the Air (CNPOTA) web site http://cnpota.ca/ to be a part of that year-long activity. As of now, I don't see any matches with my log in the CNPOTA web site.
As CNPOTA is not integrated with Logbook of the World like the ARRL National Parks on the Air event was in 2016, chasers and activators are required to upload their logs to the CNPOTA web site to participate in CNPOTA. In this case, the upload may be a single QSO record in an ADIF file, a QSO with CJ7EWK/3 in EN81 on 12 May, as a chaser. A minimum of five confirmed QSOs are required for a CNPOTA activation, according to the rules at https://cnpota.ca/rules/ (section 7). It would be nice to have another activation of a CNPOTA site via satellite, as has already been done by W8LID (as VE6LID) and AD0DX earlier in 2019. Before the CNPOTA web site accepts a file upload, it is necessary to first register with the CNPOTA web site.
Thanks in advance, and 73!

Patrick,
On May 14th at 15:01 UTC, I uploaded our two QSOs from May 12th. I just attempted to re-upload them and received an error message stating that they were duplicates.

Paul,
Thanks for confirming your QSOs were uploaded to the CNPOTA site. It appears I can't see anything about specific QSOs uploaded on that site, but can see information once it registers a successful activation (minimum 5 confirmed QSOs). Maybe a few others will do an upload, to get over the threshold...

From https://cnpota.ca/faq/ , it appears that the time between the
uploading of logs and seeing matched confirmations might be... variable.
---------------------- Both Chasers and Activators upload log files directly to the cnpota.ca web site. We run a matching process periodically to compare the uploaded contacts. We’re looking for matching root call signs, bands, modes and UTC date and times. The reported call signs, bands and modes must match, and the date/time must be with 10-minutes.
The results of this matching process are fed to the leader boards. Initially these results are updated every hour. However, updates will likely be much less frequent once data builds up to reduce the load on our server. ----------------------
So, I'm not seeing anything yet either.
