Yesterday evening, even if in late and for just one hour, I’ve taken part to the IARU contest. As I did for the ARI contest, I’ve just partecipated in real sport-spirit….
The occasion has also been good to test the new antenna (buddipole) on 15 meters band, where I did the most of my contacts.

An interesting info for newbies, about the contest log, that need to be in the “Cabrillo format”.
I use ham radio deluxe as main Logging program, and it includes, as many logging program, functions to export to cabrillo log format, so has not really been a big problem
For those who do not have skills on exporting logs into the Cabrillo log format, you can have a look at this online cabrillo form generator. By submitting a simple text log, by typing in the textarea field, it will generate and sumbit the log in the correct format for you.
