Rules for foreign participants
We did a full re-write of the rules for the PACC 2008. For foreign operators only a few things changed.
Important issues:- Cabrillo
format mandatory.
- Log submission, analyzing and checking will be done by a
software
suite developed by HA1AH with a web based interface (details will
follow on this website).
After submission an automated e-mail will be sent back stating whether the log complies to the needed Cabrillo format including a gross score check and calculation. After the submission deadline all logs will be further analyzed and cross-checked. After the full check, participants will get an e-mail with their resulting score and log errors. - You can also send
your Cabrillo log (<call.cbr> or
<call.log>) to the new
e-mail address:
Please put your call and category in the subject of the mail.
Rules in a nutshell:
