This is a quick how-to for submit electronic logs for the 2020 Field Day for those who don't have a logging program.

Use the Field Day Log Spreadsheet to log your contacts. This is optional, but it'll be faster than using paper copies of the Log Sheet and Dupe Sheet.

• Only enter information in the green cells.
• Information must be formatted as in the example (case is not sensitive):
  • The Band can be a general frequency of the band or the exact frequency. Only the general frequency will end up being submitted. HF are in kHz, and VHF/UHF in MHz.
  • The Mode can be cw, dg (digital), ph (phone), or fm.
  • The Date must be either 6/27 or 6/28 in Zulu time.
  • The Time must be in 100's in Zulu time.
  • The Section Code must be exact. If an operator uses the name instead of the code (ex. “Georgia”), you can use the “Lookup” tab to find the code.
  • The sections in red are to help and will NOT be copied in the log later.

Using the Scoring Tab, fill in the multiplier and bonus points using page 4-5 of the Field Day Packet.

Before the log file can be submitted, the information from the spreadsheet must be converted to the proper format. To do that, use the ARRL Field Day Cabrillo Form

• Fill in your station information with the total number of points. Also type the full club name: “Sun Coast Amateur Radio Club Society” :
  

• Copy the green sections from the spreadsheet at the bottom of the next screen:
  

• Copy the text generated on the next page into a text file and save it as CALLSIGN.CBR For example, mine would be VA7FI.CBR. This is the file that will need to be uploaded to the ARRL website.

• Go to the 2020 Field Day Entry page and click on Go To Data Entry.
• Unfortunately, the “Band/Mode QSO Breakdown” section of the website needs to be filled in manually (copy/paste) doesn't work, but the summary is calculated in the spreadsheet:
  
• That section is also where you upload the CALSIGN.CBR file from before.
