[SD-User] SD-User Digest, Vol 112, Issue 9

[Stanton Royce]

I have had this response submitting files as you described, for ARRL with 2 contests and at least one LOTW submissions. I tried two or three times to submit and kept getting a rejection response.

Raising this issue about 18 months ago here, some others said they had no problems. One or two others said they had a problem as you described.

I resolved my submission rejections by looking at the then current ARRL Cabrillo format I found online, and using Notepad, edited the SD created Cabrillo format file (the header was different but the logged contacts were fine) to look like what ARRL expected. I resubmitted and in the 3 or so different times this has happened to me, this editing resulted in a acceptable submission on the first attempt. 

Given so many others said the submitted successfully on their first attempts with the SD generated files, I have no idea why some of my submissions of SD generated Cabrillo format files to ARRL have been problematic.

>Had a few contacts last weekend in Yuri Gagarin CW, ran entries files through SD Check and created a Cabrillo file which read as a log. I renamed file to my Callsign.log and forwarded as attachment to address as advised - went with no problems. This is where things went astray when I wanted to upload to LoTW, I tried to sign the files(yes I tried all the file I had) to make it a tq8 and the only one to become a tq8 would not work any further. I forgot to mention that the Cabrillo format was not recognised. Just wondering if anyone else has had problems like this, my cqwwwpx file went uploaded no problems.
