Hello All....I have been using PH for WSJT contacts in my log files sent
to the ARRL for as long as I have been sending them. What WSJT does is
to inject tones into the microphone connector(essentially). These tones
follow the same path that speech would follow in the rig. For me, that
makes it PH. None of my logs has ever been questioned or rejected.
In any case, the ARRL's VHF contests are not mode specific. In other
words, the mode does not matter....you get to work the other station
only once in any case. The robot does not match my PH against my
contact's RY or CW.
I would rather that the ARRL not, by fiat, create a "standard" for WSJT
type contacts. These contacts are clearly NOT RTTY. I don't want to
have to edit my log files to change all the PH to {new standard} for
just the WSJT contacts. Since MODE does not matter, spending a lot of
time worrying about it us just wasted time and energy.
If someone else wants to use RY, go for it, but I will stay with PH
unless I am forced to change. Since mode does not matter, why bother?

It most certainly does help, thanks. Exactly what I was looking for.

There is an answer and Jay is 100% correct. :)
I was told long ago that RY is standard. There is good documentation
for this and so RY is what I have been doing for years to log digital
contacts for Cabrillo logs.
Here are some references, listed as first reference then quotation:
http://qsl.net/w3km/cab_template.htm
Most sponsors use `RY` for all non-CW digital modes.

<https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~becher/ShackPrimer/N1MM%20Logger%20Documents%202011-02-03_merged%5B1%5D.pdf>
page 174: Note: The Cabrillo standard only supports one mode designator
for digital modes: RY.
http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Contest%20-%20General/Tutorials/Submitting%20An%20Electronic%20Contest%20Log.pdf
The next item is the mode used . The standard abbreviations are PH for
an SSB or AM QSO, CW for CW, FM for FM, and RY for RTTY/digital modes
Hope that helps!

Sounds like there is no real answer, with some people doing PH or RY
As long as there is no official whatever for it, I guess we can use
whatever makes sense. Probably RY, though PH is reasonable as well.
Thanks,

Hey All,
What do we put for Mode in a cabrillo file when you've made an MSK144
contact? The only options in the QSO standard seem to be CW, PH, FM or
RY.
Thanks!
