[UK-CONTEST] Electronic Log Submissions

[Dave Sergeant]

Surely all you are saying is that Notepad (or whatever you use to edit 
it) uses a default proportional font resulting in the columns APPEARING 
misaligned. They are NOT, select a fixed font (Courier) to display it 
and they will display aligned. Do not try adding extra spaces to try 
and compensate, the Cabrillo from any logging program will be correct 
and all you might need to do is to make minor corrections.

(And I likewise have not used Notepad (or Wordpad) for many years. 
Currently using Notepad++, all these alternatives are infinitely better 
than the antiquated MS version).

On the subject of electronic submissions, I have not yet had an 
acknowledgement of my RDXC entry. Should I have received this by now 
(sent yesterday afternoon)?
