Cabrillo Specification

How To Prepare And Send The RDXC Log

    A checklist for sending logs:
  1. Your callsign must be in the message subject and in the log.
    For example, subj: ZL1TM
  2. Your log`s name must be yourcall.log or yourcall.cbr. For example, RW1AC.cbr
  3. Send your log as attachment (not inside e-mail’s body).
  4. Your log is required in Cabrillo format.
  5. Time must be in UTC.
  6. All send and received exchanges are to be logged. Cabrillo by N6TR without send numbers, please, use program COR-LOG to add serial numbers.
  7. The log begins with START-OF-LOG: and has both dashes with a colon at the end.
  8. The last line in the log is END-OF-LOG:
  9. The contest name in the log looks like this: CONTEST: RDXC Be sure a space follows the colon
  10. The category is one of the standards shown on the expanded Cabrillo Information page:
            CATEGORY-OPERATOR: SINGLE-OP|MULTI-OP|CHECKLOG 
        CATEGORY-BAND: ALL|160M|80M|40M|20M|15M|10M 
        CATEGORY-POWER: HIGH|LOW|QRP 
        CATEGORY-MODE: SSB|CW|MIXED 
        CATEGORY-TRANSMITTER: ONE|TWO|SWL
    For example, 
            CATEGORY-OPERATOR: SINGLE-OP 
        CATEGORY-BAND: ALL
        CATEGORY-POWER: LOW
        CATEGORY-MODE: CW
        CATEGORY-TRANSMITTER: ONE
  11. Clamed score IS NOT IMPORTANT (you can don't count points and multlires).

Thanks to everyone for your cooperation and assistance in this transition. Please, use COR-LOG software to bring your log accordingly to Cabrillo format.

If you don't know how to put your log in Cabrillo or aren't sure the format is correct, send your log anyway. All questions about logs would be sent to e-mail rdxc@srr.ru for help.
