A fellow ROVER from Colorado let me peek at his headers, which evolved
in the process of submitting his log 6+ times.
I built my headers from his, and I offer mine, FWIW:
START-OF-LOG: 2.0
CREATED-BY: hand, damnit!
CALLSIGN: W3DHJ/R
CATEGORY-OPERATOR: ROVER
CATEGORY-BAND: ALL
CATEGORY-POWER: HIGH
CLAIMED-SCORE: 8680
CONTEST: CQ-VHF
NAME: Marvin L Jones
ADDRESS: 1344 Terry Circle
ADDRESS: Pueblo, Co 81006
OPERATORS: Jonesy-W3DHJ
EMAIL: W3DHJ -at- ARRL.net
SOAPBOX: Always in the running for
SOAPBOX: The Bone-Headed OP Of The Contest.
SOAPBOX: Saturday was so bad that I almost blew off Sunday.
SOAPBOX: I'm glad I didn't....
SOAPBOX: Gas was $4 and temps 105+.
QSO: .............
Notice the use of the Cabrillo ver 3.x CATEGORY-XXXXXXs?
Yet, START-OF-LOG: 2.0 ??
Go figger....
Now I have two (2) separate log entries submitted. In one of my
attempts, the "/R" was omitted from my either my email Subject:, or the
log CALLSIGN: header.
At http://www.cqww-vhf.com/logs-received-vhf.htm
we see
W3DHJ/R ROVER HIGH
W3DHJ SINGLE-OP LOW NON-ASSISTED
How to delete an entire submitted log?
I doubt if a log with zero (0) QSO: entries would be accepted.
I guess I could re-submit the "W3DHJ" log as CHECK-LOG and put just one
TOTALLY BOGUS QSO: entry in it (like I would ever work ZS1XYZ on 2M?)
