[CQ-Contest] AA log submission

[Kenneth E. Harker]

Mal,
 
     The auto reply says that they have received your log, but that 
because it is in the wrong format, it will be analyzed manually instead of
automatically.  The web page referenced in the auto reply even explains that 
for the AA contest, they will accept any log format, but their log robot 
only processes the JARL format logs.  I think it would be safe to assume 
that your log has been received.
  
     Just as the ARRL now expects you to submit logs in Cabrillo format,
the JARL expects you to submit logs for their contests in their own 
"JARL E-mail Submission Format."  The JARL format predates Cabrillo by 
several years, and I would expect that any contest logging program that 
supports JARL contests would have a function to output the log in JARL 
format.  If not, try this online utility:

    Eventually, it would be nice if JARL migrated to Cabrillo, but that
hasn't happened yet.
