Hi Chris

Glad you like the new format - lots of work gone into that by the RSGBCC 
software gurus.

As for the rest .....

The Robot now takes details of equipment &c from the operator at the time of 
upload, NOT from the log.  Had you uploaded yourself you would have got it 
right (I hope).  As it was, your proxy was obviously not up to date with 
your equipment!!

UBN files are being prepared and will be released in due course.  I can't 
speak for the NFD UBNs but I believe there were some problems specific to 
NFD which have not been fully resolved.

BTW - do you have a QSL route for SU5IE ???
