Oh, interesting. I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that since this contest uses
ARRL Sections as the scoring basis and DX sends only the RST and nothing more,
that no entry in that field in the log file was the likely correct answer and
that assumption was reinforced by N1MM NOT outputting the R2 to that field in
the .log file. I may have a bust, but it certainly won’t be the only one.
Thanks for sharing that perspective.

I manually edited the Cabrillo file and just entered a 2 for the received
exchange where the section normally would be and the ARRL robot then no longer
flagged an error.

There may be a disconnect between N1MM and the ARRL Robot. I had the same
experience. The .log file output from N1MM creates the log with nothing in that
field even though it prompts for the "R" when logging. The ARRL robot wants an
"R#" entry. I manually edited the .log file by adding the R2 and the robot was
pleased.

I worked AA7JV/MM in the 160 contest. N1MM balked at entering 2 in the section
field but a flag said to place an "R" in front of the number and N1MM logged
the QSO.
I tried submitting my 160 log to ARRL and got an error "copied exchange
(itureg) is missing". What should the proper exchange format so the ARRL robot
will accept my log?

George — you were very loud on my rain gutter antenna and thank you for the
contact. You hear well!
Despite a minimal antenna with high local noise and around 50 watts, I worked
the following patient DX in the contest:
DX: ZF9CW, KP4AA, PJ2T, AA7JV/MM & VP5M.
Got on to hand out a few Qs to contestants while watching 6 for UT1FG/MM. No 80
or 160M antenna. Stations went in the log, I set a goal of 50. Then 100....
Forgot how fun and challenging 160M can be. Plan a better set up next year.

I thought propagation was very good.
MM in the Pacific from about 1400 miles west of Panama (in DJ76), I could hear
EU, including R3 stations quite well.
No man-made noise here, except my own.
CU and 73,
George
AA7JV/MM -- Region 2
