All,
As a fellow who supports the CQ Committee in a number of areas, I thought
I'd some guidelines for submitting your WW logs (yeah, I should have posted
this a month ago):
1) CW logs go to _cw@cqww.com_ (mailto:cw@cqww.com) . SSB logs are due today
and go to _ssb@cqww.com_ (mailto:ssb@cqww.com) . Don't assume late logs will
be automatically "grandfathered" into valid entries.
2) Simply enter your call in the subject field. No need to include anything
else (category, pet's name, etc.). In many cases, adding extra text
(especially punctuation) will result in a bounced entry by the robot.
3) Attach your log file to the email. There is no reason to add any text
inside the email message. It is not read and not necessary.
4) Label your log file with just your call (e.g., K1AR.cbr). Don't use cute
names like CQWWCW08.cbr or other identifiers. Remember, computers do the heavy
lifting here -- make their job easy.
5) If your club is not recognized by the robot, drop a line to
_cw-questions@cqww.com_ (mailto:cw-questions@cqww.com) . I receive those
messages and will
respond. In most cases, it's nothing more than adding your club name to the
master list that is maintained by the log checkers.
6) If you make a mistake submitting your log (e.g., wrong category), you can
resend a correction. Logs can be submitted as many times as you like. We
only consider the last submission as the "official" entry.
7) Send your log as a Cabrillo text file, hopefully one created by your log
program. The robot will reject Microsoft files (e.g., Word, Excel, etc.) and
other non-text, non-Cabrillo formats. If you're having problems creating your
Cabrillo file, start with the author's support system first and then contact
us as a last resort.
Finally, there have been over 1400 logs submitted for CW already. And,
that's in just the first 20 hours after the contest. Well done by all. I
encourage
you to submit your log early. Frankly, there's no reason to delay in most
cases.
73 John, K1AR
