Hello all:
For any of you who are submitting logs electronically in the Cabrillo
format, let me give you some information that I just learned as a result
of my submission for ARRL SS CW. Don't fool with the headers in the
Cabrillo file. Ever since we changed to this one year ago, I have been
changing the header OPERATORS to OPERATOR when I was a single op. I
then added my own callsign (which was usually duplicative of the call
used, but was at least once as a guest op at W8JI). This time, with my
robot acknowledgement, I got an error message in line 5.
I am apparently a frustrated would-be English teacher and I didn't think
OPERATORS was correct for one single operator and I assumed the
logchecking programs would ignore the "S" in OPERATORS. It turns out to
the contrary. So, my entry as guest op from W8JI for NA Sprint in Sept
may have had the same problem although it didn't prompt an error
message. I will probably e-mail N6TR about that so it will be correct
in the results.
73,
John, K4BAI.
