Hi Trevor,
no big gun here, prettty average station but...
you have to SEE yourself UP THERE and remember that steps are to be climbed ONE
at the time, eventually you'll get to the top one, how rewarding to SEE
yourself improve over time!Great job there!

> The 5-day log submittal deadline for all CQ Contests was announced after the
> 2012 CQ WW RTTY Contest Rules were published in the July 2012 issue of CQ
> magazine. Those published rules gave 15 October 2012 as the log deadline.
> Accordingly, logs will not be considered late for this event until after 15
> October.

> To further confuse everyone, there was a programming error in the robot,
> whereby the 5-day deadline was referenced to the start of the contest,
> rather than the end. This resulted in a robot informative message that the
> deadline was 3 October rather than the correct date of 5 October. This
> error was corrected last night (around 03z on 4 October) and the robot is
> informing properly now.
>
> Submitting logs within the 5-day period is good practice for the upcoming
> SSB and CW sections of CQ WW hand the other CQ contests, so why
> procrastinate until 15 October?

> Major logging programs like Win-Test, N1MM Logger and WriteLog all create

> By far, the major area of errors is with the QTH field. Every sent and
> received exchange must show a QTH field in each QSO line. For non US/VE
> calls, the QTH field must be filled with 'DX'. All of this is shown in
> detail on the Logs webpage above.
>
> In particular, over 95% of all MixW logs submitted are missing the QTH
> field. Again, on the Logs webpage there is a specific set of instructions

> Finally, you can easily edit your Cabrillo file with a text editor. Since

> line, a column editor is invaluable. I recommend the freeware Crimson
