Hi,
The North American QSO Party CW Contest is this weekend: 1800Z, Aug 7 to
0600Z, Aug 8
Some reminders and updated info regarding this contest:
Maximum power: 100 watts output (there is no high power category in the
NAQPs)
Team Registration: All teams must be registered prior to the start of
the contest using the form available at:
http://www.ncjweb.com/cwnaqpteamreg.php
Log Due Date: August 21, 2004 (14 days after the contest)
Log Submission:
Preferred Method: Use the web form available at:
http://www.ncjweb.com/cwnaqplogsubmit.php
This form is designed to upload your Cabrillo log directly to the log
checking database. The primary reason to use this form instead of e-mail
is that it eliminates e-mail delivery problems and provides you with
immediate confirmation of receipt, or a list of Cabrillo formatting
problems with your log.
Other methods:
E-mail to: cwnaqp@ncjweb.com
Use Web-to-Cabrillo form available at:
http://www.b4h.net/cabforms/naqpcw_cab.php
Logging Problems:
The most common Cabrillo formatting problem is with the inclusion of the
name used in the sent exchange. If the QSO lines in your log look
something like:
QSO: 14000 CW 2004-08-07 1800 WA7BNM Bruce A Horn CA N4PN PAUL Ga
you haven't properly configured your contest logging program. The QSO
lines should look something like:
QSO: 14000 CW 2004-08-07 1800 WA7BNM BRUCE CA N4PN PAUL Ga
Also, please pay attention to the CATEGORY: line in your log. It states
the power level used during the contest. If it contains HIGH instead of
LOW or QRP, we will assume you used more than 100W during the contest
and will use your log as a check log.
