RAC Contests Log
This year was my first time participating in the RAC Canada Day contest on my own. It was a lot of fun and also very instructive. Here are a few things I learned.
First, everything you need to know about the RAC contests (Canada Day or the Winter Day) is located on RAC website.
Logs
At the end of the contest, logs must be submitted to RAC. They will accept paper logs for submissions with less than 100 entries, but they really prefer electronic logs, which must be formatted as Cabrillo.
A Cabrillo file is really just plain text file formatted in a very specific way. For more information, see:
- This RAC pdf
- The WWROF website
For example, here's a copy of my Cabrillo file (with only a few entries as example):
