Well, I just discovered that it can be done with one small hitch. Point
values cannot be set to that of the contest rules (160=3, 80=2, 20/15=1,
10=2). That is something that brother Dave would have to do I guess.
I suppose one could just edit the qso points to determine the actual score.
Although I did not read down as far as the "reporting" goes, if a cabrillo
log is what gets submitted then I see no problem with just running this
thing under the WPX contest template since the number they are going to send
is going to be a valid number (their age) (just like a CQ WPX QSO NR).
Unless a YL sends 00 of course. In this case perhaps one could just put the
number in as 9999 and make a note to edit it before the log is submitted. I
assume NA will not allow a 00 to be entered.....have never tried it.
As for what is sent by us, we send our age. For cw, just edit F2 to send
your age instead of the serial number.
Might be a bit more post-contest work that one would want but seems to be an
alternative.
