I don't get it. In the rules, it asks that the information be given in a certain order. So I set it up so the LOG WOULD BE in that order. Then in the log submission, it is rejected because of out of order. Which way do you want it? Here are the rules for the exchange: Pay attention to the order of the items. 4.6 Exchange Example: NU1AW would respond to W1AW’s call by sending: W1AW 123 B NU1AW 71 CT, which indicates QSO number 123, B for Single Op High Power, NU1AW, first licensed in 1971, and in the Connecticut section.) But if I submit a log THAT MATCHES EXACTLY that order, it is rejected by the robot. [X] QSO: 3600 PH 2016-11-20 0130 W3TTT 1 129 U N2YO 91 VA Line ignored. I do not recognize '129' as a valid prec. I do not recognize 'U' as a valid check. A valid check is the last 2 digits of the year of first license for either the operator or the station. I do not recognize 'N2YO' as a valid QTH. I do not recognize '91' as a valid callsign. I do not recognize 'VA' as a valid serial number. I do not recognize '' as a valid prec. I do not recognize '' as a valid check. A valid check is the last 2 digits of the year of first license for either the operator or the station. Here is what the robot says: [X] FYI: A sample QSO line for ARRL-SS-SSB looks like this: QSO: 21242 PH 1997-11-15 2102 N5KO 3 B 74 STX K9ZO 2 A 69 IL I wish that the LOG Submission would have the same order as the EXCHANGE!!!! I wish that THIS ORDER for the log would be MENTIONED in the rules!!!! This was my first Sweepstakes. Respectfully Joe W3TTT |

Bart Jahnke, W9JJ, Contest Branch Manager, advised me on the proper format of electronic logs. Of course it is all on one line per qso. QSO: - qso line header 21242 - Frequency in KHz, 21000 acceptable PH - PH for phone, CW 1997-11-15 - date zulu (GMT) with dashes 2102 - time zulu (GMT) no colon : N5ME - my call 3 - my serial count B - my "prec" 74 - my "check" STX - my location K9HIM - station that I worked 2 - his serial count A - his "prec" 69 - his check IL - his location I will try it tonight. |
