First, if you read the cabrillo standards you will get reasons for all
the kick backs. Most have been corrected by writelog and other logging
programs. For Example in the CQ 160 CW the term CW in the CATEGORY is
not necessary. It was when the robot had to figure out where to put the
log between CW and SSB.
The CLAIMED SCORE: helps if there is a problem with the log. For
example RG9A had a claimed score of 400K but only scored about half that.
The problem was RG9A was not properly placed in the CTY file.
For the CQ 160 Contests I use the claimed score for placing your call in
the top 200 claimed on the CQ Magazine web page. I have 30 (out of 1350)
CW logs with blank or zero claimed score. If not corrected a high
claimed score can be left out. Yes, we do score the log but with 1400 CW
and 750 SSB logs there is no way I can figure the claimed score
correctly. What I want is exactly what Writelog figured.
CREATED BY tells me where to look if I have a problem with the log. Its
ignored by Trey's robot anyway.
I have solved problems with several logging programs and converters.
And please DO NOT try to homebrew a Cabrillo log. This spells problems 9
times out of ten!
