[UK-CONTEST] IOTA 08

[Clive Whelan]

Hi Tammie

Caveat, I am not that familiar with HRD, well as a logger anyway. You 
don't mention if it provides a Cabrillo file?

There's nothing much wrong with the way you've entered the data, but the 
Cabrillo file can be very fussy about formats, and t.b.h. HRD is not 
really a good choice as a contest logger- horses for courses.

I know you've used N1MM, as I've seen you lurking there ;-) , and that 
is the way to go if only because it will ensure that your data entry is 
correct and produce a viable Cabrillo file therefrom .

Someone here will always help you through any difficulties you encounter 
with log entries, just yell out. Also remember that the contest robots 
themselves can be very pernickety, and most of us get as many rejections 
as do failed authors!


Hang in there.

P.S How's the CW going? ;-)
