[WT-support] WW-Contest-Robot vs Cabrillo

[Rudolf Schwenger]

Hi Ben,

tnx for directing me to the only way to submit my log in a trimming which the CQ-Robot is willing to digest in the correct way.

What I learned by experiment plus your input is that
(a) it is completely irrelevant what you put in the reference line of your email
(b) in the cabrillo-log you have to implement 5 (five!!) lines reading (in my case):
Category-Operator: Single-OP
Category-Assisted: Assisted
Category-Power: High
Category-Band: All
Category-Transmitter: ONE

If you fail to do this, i.e. if you do it in the old fashioned way (which is the way WT sets it up in version 3.5), namely just featuring a single category line reading either
< SOA AB HP>  or
< SO AB HP ASSISTED> or
< Single Operator assisted All bands High Power>
or anything like that, the good old CQ-Robot will default into SO AB HP unassisted.

Strange, but that's the way it is - at least with version 3.5 of WT at DJ3WE, hi.

Thanks again for your help!

PS: Here is, what I finally got echoed back from the WW-Robot upon putting 5 category lines in my Cabrillo - Log and that is what I wanted CQ to understand....
