[ct-user] ARRL Log File

[Tyler Stewart]

Fine, but that's not what they ask for on the web page General Rules

Here are the excerpts:

". ARRL Standard File Format: For Electronic Submission of Contest Entries.

All files must be in standard ASCII text format.
The log data file name shall consist of the call sign and the extension ".LOG"
for example, K5ZD.LOG
The summary sheet file name shall consist of the call sign and the extension
".SUM" for example, K5ZD.SUM "

and...

"Electronic entries should include a summary file instead of a paper summary
sheet. (The signature is not necessary on an electronic summary sheet (see
Rule 2). "

...under Reporting...

". Electronic files may all be attached to the same message.
To be complete, entries must consist of the log and summary sheet. (For
electronic entries, you may ZIP the summary sheet file and the log file
together using PKZIP.EXE or its equivalent, and upload your compressed file or
upload the files separately.) "


You'll notice in every instance they refer to 2 separate FILES with separate
FILE NAMES.  They also refer to the ATTACHMENT of files.
