Hi John-

 

The line in question is missing the frequency. In the sample provided in
the Robot's error message, you will note the "50" before the mode, which
indicates the band. Your QSO does not have the band indicated before the
mode.

I submitted my log to the robot today and got back a nice thank
you.however.I think the robot is a bit confused! I got a message at the
bottom which was entitled as "an informative message from the Contest
Robot".  I've pasted it below as I don't see what the decision was to do
about these errors.  The errors it is telling me that were in my log,
are
not in the Cabrillo file that I sent to the ARRL. Dunno.All of the
fields in
the log are in the correct place! L

Was someone looking into this? 



*** Informative Messages from the Contest Robot ***



[X] FYI:  A sample QSO line for ARRL-VHF-SEP looks like this:

QSO:    50 PH 2006-06-10 2114 K5TR              EM00   CO2OJ
EL83



[X] QSO: PH 2010-09-12 2347 K6EL              CM99   KE6ILX/R
CM99

Line ignored.

I do not recognize 'PH' as a valid VHF contest frequency.

I do not recognize '2010-09-12' as a valid mode.

I do not recognize '2347 K6EL' as a valid date and time.

I do not recognize 'KE6ILX/R' as a valid grid.

I do not recognize '' as a valid grid.





73, Jon
