> If you would like to contribute your CABRILLO format logs for the SCP database, please submit them from your logging program.  The following logging programs have implemented direct submission of your log as part of the Cabrillo log generation process.

> Assuming you are using the latest version of the logger, it has the capability to submit your log, with your approval, directly to Super Check Partial.  If your logger doesn?t support this capability, please ask you logger developer to contact me directly and I can provide them with the documentation necessary to add the functionality.
> EMAIL SUBMISSION OF LOGS IS NOW DEPRECATED AND EMAILLED LOGS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED.
> Following the implementation of logger direct submission, email traffic has dropped to near zero.  A typical month sees 3000+ logs via the direct submission route and less than 5 logs via email.  Email submission will no longer be processed.
> If you want to check the version of the SCP files you are using, look for a call beginning with ?VER2".  Every SCP file includes the version number in the list of calls in the format VERYYYYMMDD.
> 
> The next release of the database will be at the beginning of September 2023.  Any requested changes or deletions of callsigns received by NOON PDT on September 1st, 2023 will be included in that release.
> 
> PLEASE SEND REQUESTS FOR ADD/CHANGE to logs at supercheckpartial.com - please help me help you - this way, requests don't get lost in my personal email.
> 
> IMPORTANT: Before sending an add/change message, please check the LATEST version of the SCP database to see whether your requested change (especially add requests) is unnecessary because the call is already present.

> Please let me know if you find any bad calls in the files.

A big thank you to all those who agree to submit their logs and to the different software teams of the logging programs for supporting the API!

Please be sure to check the latest release before making a request as the majority of callsigns will now be automatically added when you participate in contests.
