AD1C continued: Like WM5R pointed out, the spec is the spec. If it isn't in the spec, then it is not Cabrillo. If all these deviations from the spec were not called Cabrillo, then it would be fine. B
Jim: Sorry, but you are not getting it at all, Ralph. That a logging program produces something other than Cabrillo per the Cabrillo specification is another example of the problem that Cabrillo has
N4ZR suggested: The robot should also be implemented to the spec. The logging program should be implemented to the spec. Log checking becomes easier for those involved if everything is done to the sp
Let me try & reply to several comments with one post... [call deleted as was only reply to me]: Apparently, Cabrillo was intended to be pre-defined. It is reasonable, as if one thinks about it, a sta

W4TV told us: A memory keyer does not locate & identify for the operator what is on the band. Nor do the other things that W4TV mentions: logging programs do not locate & identify for the operator wh
It has been over a month since I asked NN1N (who I believe is in the equivalent position as N7NG was before), if the DXCC accreditation rules only applied to DXpeditions. W5OV was adamant that this i
