Serious question: How does one do this in Cabrillo format? I don't
believe there's a way to tag specific bands as "these are the ones we
want to use for our score" vs. "these are check logs on these other
bands" in ANY VHF+ contesting software that I'm currently aware of.
1. I don't think there's a way to tag a contact as "check log only" in
Cabrillo format.
2. I've used RoverLog and WriteLog, and neither has a feature to do
this.
3. Most software calculates a score from all contacts... this means
the scoring will be off during and after the contest in the comments.
For those who submit electronic logs... *If* you were participating as
a Limited Multi-Op, how would you submit them in Cabrillo format?
Would you simply remove the bands you didn't want counted, and tick
off your "neighbors" to make your own life simpler, or is there some
way to actually handle this properly that I've missed.
Just curious. I hate doing paper logs...
Is this a needed feature in Cabrillo version "whatever's next"?
