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.

2020 QRP - April

Contest Soapbox

Call Sign	Category Mode	Soapbox
VK1DA	SINGLE-OP MIXED QRP	check log only
VK3TP	SINGLE-OP MIXED QRP	Pretty hard work
VK5LJ	SINGLE-OP MIXED QRP	Not many stations calling but all that I heard were easily workable. Band noise was usual atmosphereic hash at about S5 but no storm static for a change. Running 5w into an OCF dipole.
VK3BYD	SINGLE-OP MIXED QRP	Worked most that I heard, 5W for both CW and SSB Did not stay long for SSB, only heard two calling cq
VK2IG	SINGLE-OP MIXED QRP	Quiet contest - especially the voice hour - but enjoyable. MM Contest was on at the same time (e.g. see my one ZL QSO who sent "OC" as the exchange instead of a number). Thanks to those who answered my CQ calls, and see you next contest. Station consisted of TS-480HX at 5W output, and 80m inverted vee with feedpoint at 15m height.
VK4SN	SINGLE-OP CW QRP	Poor conditions again between VK4 and southern states. CW only as no SSB QRP stations were heard.
