[CQ-Contest] Submitting CQ WW logs

[Tonno Vahk]

Hi John,

Just one small thing has being confusing me. Rules explicitly want the MODE
to be also added to the Subject and this contradicts your message and some
other instructions. I have always felt strange adding mode when I submit to
ssb at cqww.com for example. Could you ask to get this fixed in the rules then
if that is a leftover from past or sth?

All,
 
As a fellow who supports the CQ Committee in a number of  areas, I thought 
I'd some guidelines for submitting your WW logs  (yeah, I should have posted

this a month ago):
 
1) CW logs go to _cw at cqww.com_ (mailto:cw at cqww.com) . SSB logs are  due
today 
and go to _ssb at cqww.com_ (mailto:ssb at cqww.com) . Don't assume  late logs
will 
be automatically "grandfathered" into valid entries.
2) Simply enter your call in the subject field. No need to include anything

else (category, pet's name, etc.). In many cases, adding extra text 
(especially  punctuation) will result in a bounced entry by the robot.
3) Attach your log file to the email. There is no reason to add any text  
inside the email message. It is not read and not necessary.
4) Label your log file with just your call (e.g., K1AR.cbr). Don't use cute

names like CQWWCW08.cbr or other identifiers. Remember, computers do the
heavy 
 lifting here -- make their job easy.
5) If your club is not recognized by the robot, drop a line to 
_cw-questions at cqww.com_ (mailto:cw-questions at cqww.com) . I receive those
messages and will 
respond. In most cases, it's nothing more than adding your  club name to the

master list that is maintained by the log checkers.
6) If you make a mistake submitting your log (e.g., wrong category), you
can 
resend a correction. Logs can be submitted as many times as you like. We  
only consider the last submission as the "official" entry.
7) Send your log as a Cabrillo text file, hopefully one created by  your log

program. The robot will reject Microsoft files (e.g., Word, Excel,  etc.)
and 
other non-text, non-Cabrillo formats. If you're having problems  creating
your 
Cabrillo file, start with the author's support system first and  then
contact 
us as a last resort.
 
Finally, there have been over 1400 logs submitted for CW already. And,  
that's in just the first 20 hours after the contest. Well done by all. I
encourage 
you to submit your log early. Frankly, there's no reason to delay in  most 
cases.
