I am completely confused by the CQ World Wide VHF Contest's web site
as tot what my Cabrillo headers should look like for a single-band six meter
high power entry.
>From http://www.cqww-vhf.com/
The first line begins with START-OF-LOG:
There is a CALLSIGN: line.
There is a NAME: line with only one name even for multi operator entries.
There are ADDRESS: lines with a correct postal address (so we can send
you a certificate if you win one). There should only be one address
even for multi operator entries.
There are QSO: lines (yes, really).
BAND should be ALL, 144 or 50 only. 6M and 2M will converted to ALL by
the robot
Do not put in RST's - the VHF report is only your grid square
The last line contains only END-OF-LOG:
One of these bullet points directly contradicts the Cabrillo 3.0
specifications, which specify the band designators as "2M" and "6M"
(see http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo/tags.html) But I think the
CQ site is not talking about Cabrillo 3.0, as it mentions BAND rather
than the CATEGORY-BAND: tag, for instance. But, to add confusion, this
page (http://www.cqww-vhf.com/logs.htm) gives incomplete examples
("SINGLE-OP SINGLE BAND" by itself seems incomplete to me, as it
doesn't show specifically how to designate 50 or 144.)
So, if I want a Cabrillo 2.3 CATEGORY: tag
that will work, does it need to be:
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 50 HIGH MIXED
or maybe
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 50 HIGH
or just
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 50
or perhaps
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP SINGLE BAND 50 HIGH
or maybe:
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP SINGLE BAND
BAND: 50
POWER: HIGH
Or?????
In the Cabrillo 3.0 world, this would become:
CATEGORY-ASSISTED: NON-ASSISTED
CATEGORY-BAND: 6M
CATEGORY-MODE: MIXED
CATEGORY-OPERATOR: SINGLE-OP
CATEGORY-POWER: HIGH
CATEGORY-STATION: FIXED
Does the CQ WW VHF contest accept Cabrillo 3.0? Nothing on the web site
says so.
