Rule 5.1.3 for this weekend's ARRL 10-meter contest specifies "Eight points for
CW QSOs with US Novice or Technician Plus stations signing /N or /T (28.1 to
28.3 MHz only)."
While TRLog's DAT file and claimed score calculations show 8 points per /N and
/T QSO, the Cabrillo file generated by POST shows the default 28000 frequency
for every QSO. This downgrades the /N and /T QSOs to 4-pointers in the final
scoring.
For example, last year
QSO: 28000 CW 2004-12-11 1407 W8TM 599 Oh KA5PQD/N 599 Tx
got me 4 QSO points (my final CW-only score was 4 times QSOs times mults, with
final QSO and mult counts as claimed).
An obvious workaround is manual editing of the frequency in the Cabrillo file
generated by POST. I don't know if there are alternative approaches.
I thought that others might appreciate a warning about this quirk.
73, Paul W8TM
