The map

A check-in carries no position. A station is on the map when this site heard a position beacon from it around the time it checked in.

That is its last beacon in the 48 hours before the check-in, or its first within the hour after. A station that sends no position is on the roster and not on the map.

A station that sends a rough position is drawn as a soft circle, no more exactly than it sent.

What counts

• Each operator is counted once a session, for a message to ANSRVR that starts CQ HOTG or a message to APRSPH that starts HOTG (or N:HOTG).
• The session of Thursday 8 January is open from 00:00 UTC to 00:00 UTC on Friday 9 January.
• A check-in counts from 18:00 UTC on Wednesday 7 January to 06:00 UTC on Friday 9 January.
• Joining, renewing or leaving the group without a message counts too.
• A message that names the group in a form the server could not read counts too.
• When this site misses a message, the server's or the bot's answer to it counts in its place, an answer to a join included.
• A name that is not shaped like a callsign is counted like any other.
• A check-in outside those hours is kept for net control to add.
• Net control can add others by hand.
