I created the following format since I could not find a template on the 3830
Score Submittal Forms web page

CALLSIGN: AA5VU
CONTEST: DL-DX-RTTY
CATEGORY: A LOW RTTY
NAME: Dick Kriss
ADDRESS: Austin, TX  78746 USA

Band      QSO's   Points   Multiplier
==== =================
  40          16       116         5
  20          69       608       16
  ---          --        ----        --
Total         85       724       21 = 63,325

   85 *(724+21)= 63,325   <-- my guess the contest robot will do the scoring

Equipment: Kenwood TS-570S(G), Sys-33 Beam, SL-1+, Mac G4 and cocoaModem
software.
      
The AA5VU.log file was accepted by the DL-DX-RTTY robot and also uploaded to
LoTW using the Mac version of the ARRL TQSL software.

I like the DL-DX-RTTY contest because it is not too long and the logging
requirements are compatible with the standard Mac OSX cocoaModem contest
template for logging.  The contest was a part time effort when I could spare
some time.

Happiness was when YZ1DZ (SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO) responded to my CQ for a
new RTTY country for me.  I need the YU = Yugoslavia for RTTY DXCC but
question if a YZ1 will count for the brand new country.

The S&P contest mode is okay but you need to be in CQ mode to pick up
multipliers or work new countries.  As I recall the old contest rule says
something like rare stations and multipliers usually do not call CQ - they
seem to work in the S&P mode.  Happiness was having a new one respond to my
CQ.  My score is not that great but I had fun and that's what really counts.

73, Dick AA5VU
