[TVARC] JARTS RTTY Contest - Cabrillo Logs

[Steve Ro]

Thanks Rich.  I have begun to research next step.  But, I have to take down “shack” for now to move to TV for the winter. The first priority will be an antenna of some kind. Will continue the build once settled in.  Great help, thanks.

As for logging, after a contest, besides the Cabrillo log I generate from N1MM+, I also export the ADIF file that I then import into HRD so my HRD log has “all” my QSOs.

But, I can't figure out how to put the required exchange (your age) so it shows in the Cabrillo format.  HRD logbook seems to have a place (box) for it right after the RST, but the values put in that space do not show on the Cabrillo log.
