Musings on the spec
• The goal of the Cabrillo summary sheet
information is for the contest participant to
describe the nature of his participation in the
contest. It will be the responsibility of the
contest sponsor to assign a given log to a valid
contest category based on the attributes of the
operation.
NAME: MARK DELANOVA
ADDRESS: Av Scond Muller, 484
ADDRESS: V. PPert, RG 343-4004
ADDRESS: CA
Other types of lines may only appear once.
• If no soapbox is entered into the logging
program, please write out something like
SOAPBOX:
SOAPBOX:
SOAPBOX:
SOAPBOX:
so that people will get the right idea if they
decide to edit the file by hand. Same thing
applies to NAME, ADDRESS, CLUB, and OPERATORS.
• The OPERATORS field is a space-delimited list
of operator callsign(s).
