Hi Saul:
This underscores a major problem that we all share: the logging program you
are using has allowed you to submit an entry that does not include a
legitimate entry category. For this contest, there is no such category as
you show on your summary sheet - i.e. Single Unlimited. The only ARRL
contest with such a category is Sweepstakes. The problem becomes
intensified when you did not verify that it was legitimate and change the
category to a correct one before you submitted. The problem then becomes
magnified again when the person doing the data entry, who in this case is a
summer temporary employee (not a ham or contester) didn't catch it. This is
one reason we post the logs on the web - to try and catch things such as
this.
We will review all entries before they go to QST, as always.
Thanks and 73
Dan Henderson, N1ND
ARRL Contest Branch Manager

Dan, just checked my entry and that of several other locals--there are
MANY errors where the entry is listed as single op when it should be SO
assisted, mine included. Dare I suggest that you review ALL your entry
records to ensure accuracy of category? 73 Saul K2XA
