[RMVHF] [4038416.arrl-vhf-jun] N0YE] Log format

[James Duffey]

Jonesy - Don't feel bad, I got caught in the same trap. Here is a  
header that works for a single op limited rover:

START-OF-LOG: 2.0

It did take me a couple of tries for the robot to be able to tell me  
all of the mistakes I made in the header though. Apparently Roverlog  
has not incorporated the new Cabrillo format.

An alternate way to submit electronic logs is with the web based  
Cabrillo formatter. If you fill in all the information it asks for, it  
will generate the correct header. Then just cut and paste the log from  
Roverlog.

I like to complain about electronic log submittal as much as anyone,  
but it sure beats the hell out of sending a SASE for all the forms,  
xerographically reproducing them so you have enough for the contest,  
then xerographically reproducing the complete logs, the summary sheet  
and the dupe sheet so you can have a record, and finally mailing off  
all that stuff.

One thing I like about universal file formats, they change. - Duffey
