Welll...

I asked the people who handle the various Cabrillo-related robots a ways
back if it were possible to adapt their formats to the QSO Party.  They
responded to the effect that it was possible but that they were too busy to
do it.

So, perchance a note to them might be in order.  Find out HOW they are
handling the robots, and see if similar automation can be adapted (but by
some of us, not them) for the contest.

After all, isn't that supposed to be one of the strong points of Cabrillo?

After being grilled by Milwaukee police, is the wurst over for the
Pittsburgh Pirate's Randall Simon?
One thing's for sure; there are no weiners in this one...

Hi All:
>From my point of view, I would like to see 2 FM dropped altogether from the
Party. I don't live exactly in the "sticks" but I know the stations in the
South Eastern part of the state have a much greater chance of making a large
bunch of 2m contacts than I do. I don't know how many 2 FM contacts were
made down there, but it's sure to be more than in any part of the state.

As for submitting logs by e-mail, I know the committee is thinking about it
but the biggest problem for them is what to do with them after they get
them. There is no software available to them to use to do anything with a
log in any format on disk. They are looking at printing the logs and
checking them as is done now. Its not a pretty sight. I would think if
anyone knows of software out there for log checking, I'm sure the committee
would love to hear about it.
