Logs:
send your logs via e-mail to the Contest Manager I7ALE. Any format and any software can be used, all are welcome, even if “Cabrillo” format is preferred. The “filename” must include your call sign. The class of participation must be indicated in the file-name or inside the file. If one or both these data are missing the log will be used as Control Log.
The contest logging software “SD” by EI5DI supports the International Naval Contest (correct from version 15.35). With previous versions of SD (downloadable free atwww.rsgbcc.org/hf/sd.shtml), or with “ QAR Test” by IK3QAR (free), you can use the the INORC Contest, which scores exactly as the I.N.C.
Having into consideration that there still could be a number of participants who won’t use computers for logging, we will accept handwritten paper logs (remember to mention your class of participation and Fairplay Statement).
A summary sheet is to have a signed “FAIR PLAY STATEMENT” stating that contest rules and general amateur rules have been applied during operation. Feasible calculation of the total score should be a necessity.
