[RTTY] WPX RTTY

[I2UIY]

Hello RTTYers!

The WPX RTTY will take place within few days so now seems to be the 
right time to give some free suggestions about log submission.

On my webpage (as well as on AA5AU's page) is still available the 
report I wrote after the 2005 CQWW RTTY 
(http://www.i2uiy.it/cqww.html). CQWW is not WPX but many points are 
common for both events.

Here are just few extra suggestions that will make the log-checker's 
life much easier:
- there are no trophy and/or certificates for who sends his log one 
hour or less after the end of the contest: take your time, the 
deadline is March 9 so there is no reason to post your log immediately.
- if you'll get your log returned by the robot, please remember that 
the robot always tells the reason why that log has not been accepted. 
If that is not clear, just send me an e-mail and I'll find out what 
was wrong in your log.
- if you submit your log correctly, you will receive a message from 
out robot within few minutes. Remember: the message from the robot 
only means that we have received your log. It doesn't means that your 
log is correct. Later, during the log checking process, we will look 
at your log and, if we will find any problem, you'll get a message from us.
- if we are forced to write you because there is something wrong in 
your log... we expect to get an answer so please do not ignore our requests.
- please remember that you must log BOTH the SENT and the RECEIVED 
serial number.
- please read the Rules 
(http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com/RTTY_WPX_Rules_2007.pdf) and learn 
what are the available categories. Please DO NOT enter a non existing 
category: it would be a waste of time. Remember: (1) no QRP 
categories; (2) Low Power applies ONLY to Single Operators ALL Bands 
(i.e. no SO-20-Low, no SO-40-Low and so on); (3) no ASSISTED 
categories (if you're ASSISTED then you must enter the Multi-Op category).
- the only possible sub-category is ROOKIE (no Expert, no Over-50, no 
Triband & Single Element).
- in the header of your Cabrillo log you will find the "OPERATORS:" 
line. Fill it ONLY of you were MULTI-OP *or* if you did used a 
special callsign different from your home callsign. If not, please 
leave it empty.

Please forgive me if these suggestions seems too much for expert 
contersters but we expect to get about 1,300 logs and there is only 1 
log checker...

Have fun in the contest!
