Configuration
Contest configuration
Callsign | The Callsign which will be used during the contest |
Grid square | Your Maidenhead grid square (6 letters) which will be used in VHF/UHF/SHF contests for QRB calculations |
Exchange | Contest specific exchange field |
DXCC prefix | your DXCC standard prefix |
WAZ zone | Your CQ zone number |
ITU zone | Your ITU zone number |
State/Province/Other | Your US state, Canadian province or DX for all other countries |
Name | The name which will be inserted in the final Cabrillo file |
Address | The address which will be inserted in the final Cabrillo file |
Club | The name of your club for club competitions |
Contest | Select the relevant contest or dxpedition template |
Category | Select the stations contest operation category |
Overlay | Select the stations contest overlay category (if required). |
Class | Select the stations contest power class. |
Mode | Select the mode of operation for the Contest |
Op. name | Enter the operators name (if required) |
Power | Enter the station's power level (if required). Can be set to 1TT, KW, etc. if used for contest exchange. |
Operators | Enter a comma separated list of callsigns of the station operators. |
NB. There is no band category setting. Some contest definitions include categories which also include bands but most do not.
Lacking an explicit band category, DXLog.net will automatically determine it.
If your log contains QSO on more than band, exported Cabrillo file will say CATEGORY-BAND: ALL.
If your log contains QSO only on one band, say 20m, the exported Cabrillo file will say CATEGORY-BAND: 20M
All X-QSO are ignored in this process, so if you accidentally make a QSO on the "wrong" band, simply mark it invalid using [Ctrl][X]
.
After pressing enter (or mouse click on OK button) all fields are checked against contest rules defined in contest config file.
If any fields contain incorrect data, DXLog.net will supply a warning with instructions on how to correct the data,
It may also show possible links to the contest rules (if link is defined in contest config file).
