[RTTY] Thanks for contest robots...

[Fabi va2up]

Hi all,
 
aside from the obvious reasons why a contest robot is a wonderful tool for us to upload our logs to, the 'NEW' Bartg robot saved me today. After loading this weekend's Bartg Sprint 75 log onto it, the robot immediately replied and what I got was ... a serious mess! 274 errors and to tell you quite frankly it did look a bit confused and so was I.  I went back to my sent e-mail and opened the .log file. What I had just sent was the DL-DX 6h contest log of last july...oops. Now that's funny since I always produce a Cabrillo that I temporarly put onto the Desktop to send as attachement and then file away by renaming the file in to a Contest Logs File. So for an unknown reason the correct Bartg Cabrillo was on the desktop but when I tried to send it as attachement somehow the DL-DX was being sent instead. 
I then thought I'd better take a look at my e-mails to the recent Sartg and Russian WW just to see and...yes indeed I had sent the same DL-DX log to both of them but since these use no robot I was never warned that my log was incorrect. Resent to both contest managers and got a quick reply from Ewe SM7BMH who will make the correction and has my deepest appreciation. No answer from the Russian WW but then again I had never got confirmation from them even on my first attempt...time will tell I guess. 
So kudos to Bartg for the new system it works wonderful and to Ewe for standing behind his contest!! Now that's what I call a 'contest manager'!
 
73 hope to work you all in a few days...
