Must be a lot of procrastinators like me doing last-minute submissions 
and clogging up the robot's work queue. I sent in my September log a 
short time ago (tonight), and have not heard yea or nay from the robot 
yet. I guess I'll check again before turning in for the evening.

I'm planning to mail in the 10G log. If you try to apply all of the even 
allowing for the hierarchy of rule precedence, my read is that the only 
thing that is acceptable for the 10G contest is to hand-write your log 
on the official sheets or a reasonable facsimile of the official sheets. 
  I say this because the rules in one place explicitly say no binary 
files (like an Excel spreadsheet), only Cabrillo format files, but in 
another place say that Cabrillo format is not needed for the 10G contest 
(which takes precedence, but DOESN'T exactly say that ANY file format is 
okay, or even mention any format that works okay). Even the printout of 
the Excel file violates the rule that says that if you use a computer in 
any way, shape, or form, to log, then you must submit in Cabrillo 
format, and a printout of a computer log is not okay.

Of course, I printed out my log from the Excel worksheet the last few 
years and the logs were accepted, so I guess I'm getting all worked up 
over nothing...

Thanks for the reminders about log submissions!
