[AK-VHF] Fwd: [PNWVHFS] January VHF logs

[Edward R Cole]

One more piece of info on filling out the Cabrillo log form:

Use PH for any voice mode, either SSB or FM
Use RY for digital modes

The ARRL robot that takes e-mail log entries can only understand 
those codes for mode.  If you enter SSB or FT8 or anything other it 
will reject your entry and suggest you correct or modify log and 
retry sending it.  This factor can be frustrating the first time you 
make e-mail entry for a contest.  The log format must be exact as the 
example given.  Read all instructions thoroughly, then you should be fine.

If all fails, you can mail a  written log (print forms from ARRL 
contest page for the VHF Contest)

Hope you had fun and worked a bunch of stations.  I did OK working 14 
QSO, 2 grids, 4 bands.
