[VHFcontesting] Fw: [1151282.cq-vhf] K4ESA/R Log submiting wrong??

[David Pruett]

Bob,

It appears that the robot cannot decipher a Cabrillo 2.0 log.  A year or 
so ago the Cabrillo specification was changed to 3.0, and all of the 
changes affected the "Category" which used to be all on one line in 2.0, 
but are now split up in 3.0.  It appears that N3FJP is partly 2.0 and 
partly 3.0.  A newer version of the N3FJP software may be all that's needed.

One observation is that the line saying "Rover" should read: 
CATEGORY-STATION: ROVER instead.

The official definitions of the Cabrillo key-words can be found at 
http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo/tags.html.

73, Dave/K8CC
