Notes:

In conjunction with DotEukali and Alan Shannon Computers & Cabling, we have developed a website to ease the load for contest managers. Catering for some VK contests, we now have automated log uploads, automated cross checking for contacts, duplicates and busted calls. Logs are scored and ranked into categories.

Admin can create future contests denoting starting contest time and finish as well as log upload start and end dates. Once these dates come around, the relevant options become available, like log upload and a modal displaying the calls uploaded. Once the log deadline is reached the log upload button disappears.

Cabrillo Version 3 is the log requirement and users wanting a robot reply will need to have their email address in the log. The user will also have screen confirmation of a successful upload.

Operators should NOT change the header as created by the logger. If something is incorrect, reload the log with the correct parameters and recreate the cabrillo log.

The correct Cabrillo name must be in the log if using a direct upload from a logger like VKCL.

VK2KI	SINGLE-OP MIXED QRP	Thanks for putting this together Andrew - good fun and lots of folks on. And thanks for the last minute help with the loggin application too. Cheers, mb
VK2CCC	SINGLE-OP CW QRP	Thanks all for participation, I was pleased that my 500 milliwatts were heard accross the country.
VK2KJJ	SINGLE-OP CW QRP	local QRM S9, but great to receive QRP with good strenght
VK1DO	SINGLE-OP MIXED QRP	All good fun, some surprisingly strong stations, I was a bit slow to return my IC703 to full power after the CW section, but it hardly mattered. The simplicity of submitting a log made the whole contest a no brainer. My return to a hand key was a bit of a shock, I spend so much time on keyboard these days it was most confronting!
VK5AV	SINGLE-OP CW QRP	Local QRM at start, sigs got stronger. Hope i didn't mess too many up. Lots of fun.
VK3GP	SINGLE-OP MIXED QRP	Ten-Tec Argonaut VI 10W, 80m EFHW dipole, portable setup.
VK2YW	SINGLE-OP MIXED QRP	Good fun but very few people on phone. No contacts after 1125
