June VHF and Rovers: Getting Your Contest Rover Category Correct
in Cabrillo

Hello, Rovers!-

Since this weekend's June VHF QSO Party contest is the first with
three Rover categories, I want to be sure you know how to
electronically submit your Rover log in the right category. To do
so requires that your log file contains the proper category
description in the Cabrillo format.

Descriptions of the rover categories in ARRL VHF+ and UHF contests
can be found in section 2.3 of the General Rules For All ARRL
Contests Above 50 MHz, located at:
http://www.arrl.org/contests/announcements/rules-vhf.html . The
complete Cabrillo log file format specification is on-line at
http://www.kkn.net/~trey/cabrillo .

Use the CATEGORY-OPERATOR tag to specify the number of operators
in your Rover. The choices are SINGLE-OP, MULTI-OP or CHECKLOG. If
you're roving by yourself, choose SINGLE-OP. If you have two
operators in your rover operation, choose MULTI-OP. If you choose
CHECKLOG, your log will be used in the contest adjudication
process, but your score will not count.

Use the CATEGORY-STATION tag to specify your rover category. The
choices are:

ROVER
ROVER-LIMITED
ROVER-UNLIMITED

There must be a hyphen between Rover and the words Limited and
Unlimited.

Use the CATEGORY-TRANSMITTER tag to specify the number of
transmitters that are simultaneously on the air. Your choices are
ONE or UNLIMITED.

Use the CATEGORY-POWER tag to specify your power category. The
choices for the Rover and Unlimited Rover categories are HIGH and
LOW. Limited Rovers have the same power restrictions as
Single-Operator Low-Power and must specify power as LOW. QRP is
not a valid power selection for any Rover category. Remember that
there will be no sub-division of the Rover and Unlimited Rover
scores based on power.

Here is a sample Cabrillo 3.0 header for the June VHF QSO Party,
using the bogus call "BOGUS/R" entering as an Unlimited Rover with
two operators:

START-OF-LOG: 3.0
ARRL-SECTION: CT
CALLSIGN: BOGUS/R
CLAIMED-SCORE: 435
CLUB: None
CONTEST: ARRL-VHF-JUN
CATEGORY-OPERATOR: Multi-op
CATEGORY-STATION: Rover-Unlimited
CATEGORY-TRANSMITTER: Unlimited
CATEGORY-POWER: High
NAME: Hawley Smoot
ADDRESS: 111 1st St.
ADDRESS: Bogus, CT 11111
ADDRESS:
OPERATORS: KX9X, NN1N
SOAPBOX: Gasoline sure is expensive!
SOAPBOX: Hilltops are good!

If your logging software creates a Cabrillo file version 2.5 or
earlier, manually change the header to match the format in the
example above. A Cabrillo file is just a text file; PC's that use
Windows can edit text files in Notepad, found under Programs >
Accessories.

As always, electronic log submissions in Cabrillo format for the
June VHF QSO Party should be emailed to junevhf at arrl.org .

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at
kx9x at arrl.org. Thanks for your support of the ARRL VHF contests,
and be safe when roving this weekend.
