[UK-CONTEST] CC 160m Template?

[G4FNL]

Hi Tony

As explained by others, unfortunately there isn't a template that exactly
does the whole job. So, I used SD, and selected the RSGB CC template. I
ignored the scoring part, and chose "G" (for general) in the first page
setup. On the next page of the set up, you select mode - "SSB". Finally,
once the log entry page comes up, you can change the band to be 160m (enter
"b=160" ) for completeness.

During the contest I entered the serial number received, and use
abbreviations for status (such as C, M or N for Club, Member or None), and I
followed this with an abbreviation for the club name (such as "Glou" for
"Gloucester Amateur Radio and Electronics Society" etc). I also made quick
scribble of any long-winded or unique club names by hand. It was fairly
straightforward to edit the cabrillo log afterwards.

I hope that helps - but if not, drop me an e-mail off reflector, and I'll
see if I can assist

Subject: [UK-CONTEST] CC 160m Template?


Had my first go in a 160m contest Saturday in the Club Calls session. I used
SD for logging or at least tried to but I found the CC template didn't allow
enough room to put all the info' in so ended up paper logging for some of
the info'.  Now faced with typing all the extra bits in to get the Cabrillo
file right.

Was I using the right template?  What does everyone else use?
