Hi Dana,
Yes, either ADIF or Cabrillo for format is fine. I'm not sure which
logging software we use -- I *think* it's N1MM+ but as long as it can
make an output file in the proper format, it doesn't matter. As long as
it's ASCII and something we can parse, we're good.
I expect we're open to all modes including all the digital modes and all
frequencies available to the licensee. Do we want a minimum exchange?
RST doesn't always make sense for digital modes, but getting esoteric
isn't good, either. I also suspect this isn't going to be a crazy busy
event like, say, Bouvet Is., so there will likely be time for a real
QSO. Nevertheless, everything I'm coming up with relevant to a
collegiate-oreiented event doesn't work, so RST is probably good. I'm
open to ideas, too!
Getting it in the ARRL Letter would be ideal, but that would make it a
very tight schedule; I don't know how flexible the ARRL Letter is for
such announcements. Do you know anyone in the "inside" that we could
ask? The only thing I see is an email address for editorial questions
and comments to [log in to unmask]
