An additional and COMPLETELY separate single band of choice log for Single

with your *callsign_band.log*, i.e. sm7bhm_80.log.

Information on Cabrillo format for SARTG contest can be found
here<http://www.sartg.com/contest/wwcabril.htm>.
Contest name is *SARTG-RTTY*.

Users of "RTTY" by WF1B should convert their files. A conversion program
can be found here <http://www.sartg.com/contest/wwcbrwf1.htm>.

For non-Cabrillo entries only two files are required,*callsign.all* and *
callsign.sum*. These logs must be in chronological order and show: band,
date/time (UTC), call sign, exchange message sent and received, multipliers
and QSO points.

Please submit electronic logs as plain ASCII-files. Do not send Word, Excel
or ADIF-files as they create extra work as they have to manually be
converted to ASCII-files before processing.

Multi-Op stations must include the call signs and names of all operators
involved.

Electronic logs can be submitted by Email or on 3 ½ inch disk togheter with
a printed summary sheet.

robot checks the log and a claimed list is also avaible.

required for electronic ones. In addition, a written summary sheet, dupe
sheet and multiplier sheet must be submitted.
