The burning question in my mind is, since we=0D
know you have a computer, I'm assuming you=0D
are using a pc to log with. What program are=0D
you using that doesn't create a Cabrillo file for=0D
you? I've used CT. It does. I now use TRLog,=0D
it does. WriteLog I'm fairly certain does. Are=0D
you using computer logging Bill? =0D

I think that log checking is a huge volunteer effort. Common standard =0D
format log files help the volunteers. This is the reason for the =0D
Cabrillo file requirement. Should ARRL, in other words its members, =0D
pay for this or should the contesters bear some cost in making the log =0D
checking easy? On the surface, it seems to me that the contesters =0D
should bear the burden of making the volunteers' job easier.=0D
=0D
The one argument that can be made against such a requirement, is that =0D
it makes it harder for a casual contester to participate *and* send in =0D
the logs. This is somewhat ameliorated by the fact that most =0D
electronic log programs generate some form of Cabrillo logs, and ARRL =0D
does not require Cabrillo format submission for contesters who log on =0D
paper.=0D
=0D
Just another opinion.=0D
