[ILQSO] electronic logs

[James Funk]

Greetings!

NN9K has raised the question concerning the preferred order of columns for
information in electronic logs.

I am flexible, and there may be reasons why what follows is not a good
order, but I would suggest:

BAND
MODE
DATE
TIME
CALLSIGN WORKED
QTH RECEIVED
MULTIPLIER

Of these, only BAND, MODE, CALLSIGN and QTH are essential for log-checking
and scoring.  The RAMS committee has indicated they want TIME included as
well, and there are situations where it will be helpful.

If you are logging by hand and want to put the log into Excel before
submitting it, (which is why the question came up), doing so in the above
order would be appreciated, though not required.  

Any questions, please let me know, either on the reflector or direct.

15 more days!!
