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] 73, Kim N5OP On 12/11/2019 10:18 AM, Dana A Browne wrote: > Kim, > > OK, so I threw together a sample certificate and it's attached.
