[NLRS] [BC'ers] Problem withhttp://b4h.net/cabforms/fallmicrowavesprint_cab.php

Mon Oct 31 09:50:10 EDT 2011

I already replied directly to Jim BUT, while the Cabrillo spec 
*says* the "G"s are required for the gigahertz bands, the 
'present' version of the Web-to-Cabrillo form does NOT want the 
"G"s so "1.2" (instead of "1.2G"), "2.3" (instead of "2.3G"), 
just "10" (instead of "10G"), etc. ("1296", "2304", "10368" etc. 
will not work with Web-to-Cabrillo either.)

The ARRL Robot for VHF & Up (and, as far as I know, the log 
checking program) accepts both WITH and withOUT the G. W3KM's 
Cabrillo Evaluator (which I use for the Spring Sprints) works 
WITH and withOUT the G.

If anyone uses/tries Laser and wants to use Web-to-Cabrillo, I 
believe it is necessary to use "300" rather than "Light".

73, JK
