[NLRS] 222 MHz and Up Logging

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

I have been making cabrillo logs manually for some years. You can 
download an example cabrillo template from ARRL.ORG though I don't know 
about for this 222 distance contest. I use an ancient text editor, 
Wordstar 4.0 (for DOS but I use it on OS/2) in non document mode so it 
doesn't fix excess spaces and excess line lengths or insert CR/LF where 
it thinks they should be. I also set it to not INSERT but to only 
replace characters. That should be as possible in old windoze WordPad or 
NotePad, preferable NotePad. Then I copy the template to a new file 
k0cqjvhf7.log and edit that replacing the template calls, times, grids, 
dates, and station class. Then the next year I use last year's log for 
the template and its amazing how many times the calls come in the same 
order as last year.

I won't be sending in a log for 222 this year, despite 9 hours or so 
operating time at home and roving to eastern Iowa, I made no contacts so 
have nothing to report and Cabrillo doesn't have separate data for 
operating time, if figures operating time from the contacts reported.

I haven't seen a definition of Cabrillo format specifying the column 
order but that is in the template or the number of spaces between 
columns or whether a particular column must start in the same place. 
There is enough gap after call sign columns to take a kx9sss/r call sign 
and after the grids to take a 6 digit grid, if the robot understands 6 
digit grids. So I'd take your N1MM+ Cabrillo and edit it to put in the 6 
digit grids and try to submit that.
