Greetings friends! Submitting your log is how you get credit for your Winter Field Day contacts. The good news is we don't require anything special from you. The bad news is not everyone knows the basics about log formats.
This post will show you an example of a properly formatted Cabrillo log file, and where you can go to get more information about this format. First, all this comes from the Cabrillo specification at: https://wwrof.org/cabrillo/. You can always refer back to there for authoritative Cabrillo information.
Onto the good stuff! Check out the example below and ensure your Cabrillo log has all the same information in all the same spots. It's very important that your callsign and exchange information are in each QSO line! Missing information there is one of the most common reasons we reject logs. That's it. If you ever have trouble with your log, you can always email us at helpdesk@winterfieldday.com
