| Contest participants should use the
electronic data file format to submit their logs to the contest manager in
time. To be able to do this, participants must use a contest program capable of generating a REG1TEST file. FORMAT
EXPLANATION OF KEYWORDS Keywords are defines as the word in front of the actual argument. The keyword is separated from the argument with an equal sign (=). [REG1TEST;1] REG1TEST;1 is the file identifier and the file version. It serves as indicator for which format and version is being used and where data begins. TName Argument describes the name of the contest in which the station participated. TDate Arguments describe the beginning and ending dates of the
contest. Arguments are separated with a semicolon (;). Arguments
are written as PCall Argument describes the callsign used during the contest. PWWLo Argument describes own World Wide Locator (WWL, Maidenhead, Universal Locator) used during the contest. Maximum length is six characters. PExch Argument describes own Exchange during the contest. This can
be any type of information, e.g. Province, DOK, County, State,
Power, Name. PAdr1 Argument describes the address of the QTH used during the contest, line 1. PAdr2 Argument describes the address of the QTH used during the contest, line 2. PSect Argument describes in which section the station is participating. Synonyms to the meaning "section" are: class, category, group etc. PBand Argument describe which band was used during the contest. Please note the bands and which frequency range they represent in the table below:
PClub Argument describes the callsign of the radio club where operator(s) are member. Can be used if points are accumulated to the club etc. RName Argument describes the given- and surname of the responsible operator. RCall Argument describes the callsign of the responsible operator. RAdr1 Argument describes the address of the responsible operator, line 1. RAdr2 Argument describes the address of the responsible operator, line 2. RPoCo Argument describes the postal code of the responsible operator. RCity Argument describes the city of the responsible operator. RCoun Argument describes the country of the responsible operator. RPhon Argument describes the telephone number of the responsible operator. RHBBS Argument describes the Bulletin Board System or electronic mail address of the responsible operator. MOpe1 Arguments describe the operators participating in the contest,
line 1. All arguments separated with a semicolon (;). Responsible
operator MOpe2 Arguments describe the operators participating in the contest,
line 2. All arguments are separated with a semicolon (;).Responsible
operator STXEq Argument describes the transmitting equipment used during the contest. SPowe Argument describes the transmitting power used during the contest, unit is Watt. SRXEq Argument describes the receiving equipment used during the contest. SAnte Argument describes the antenna system used during the contest. SAntH Arguments describe the antenna height above ground level and sea level, unit is meter. All arguments separated with a semicolon (;). CQSOs Arguments describe the claimed number of valid QSOs and the band multiplier. All arguments are separated with a semicolon (;). CQSOP Argument describes the claimed total number of QSO-points. The format does not specify that QSO-points can only be based upon distances. CWWLs Arguments describe the claimed number of WWLs worked, the
number of bonus points claimed for each new WWL and the WWL
multiplier. If no bonus points are claimed then bonus points per each new
WWL are set to zero (0). If no multiplication is used for each
new WWL the CWWLB Argument describes the claimed total number of WWL bonus points. CExcs Arguments describe the claimed number of Exchanges worked, the
number of bonus points claimed for each new Exchange and the
If no bonus points are claimed then bonus points per each new
Exchange are set to zero (0). If no multiplication is used for
each new CExcB Argument describes the claimed total number of Exchange bonus points. CDXCs Arguments describe the claimed number of DXCCs worked, the
number of bonus points claimed for each new DXCC and the DXCC
multiplier. If no bonus points are claimed then bonus points per each new
DXCC are set to zero (0). If no multiplication is used for each
new DXCC CDXCB Argument describes the claimed total number of DXCC bonus points. CToSc Argument describes the total claimed score. The format does not specify how the total score is calculated. CODXC Arguments describe the claimed ODX contact call, WWL and distance. All arguments are separated with a semicolon (;). [Remarks] The [Remarks] identifier is used to mark where the Remarks
begins. All lines following, until [QSORecords;Number of QSO
records following], Remarks lines Remarks lines are where the station may write comments to the
test. The number of lines is variable. All lines in between [Remarks]
[QSORecords;Number of QSO records following] The [QSORecords;Number of QSO records following] is the QSO
record identifier used to mark where QSO records begins, and how
many QSO record definition Date;Time;Call;Mode code;Sent-RST;Sent QSO number;Received
RST;Received QSO number;Received Exchange;Received-WWL;QSO-Points; All arguments are separated with a semicolon (;). All fields in the QSO record is written on the same line, and ending with ASCII characters 13 and 10 (CR LF).
Mode code The mode code is used to show which modes were used for the QSO. Below is a list of the code with corresponding modes.
If the mode is not important it can be left blank, i.e. not stated in rules/invitation. Characters Used characters are in accordance with the 7 bit ASCII alphabet and only characters with the following decimal number are allowed 10, 13, 32-127. Line length If line length is already specified it must not be exceeded,
other lines must not exceed a length of 75 characters. Length is
limited due to F All lines, in the format description, with the "F"
denote that entry is a free format. This means that any of the
above characters in the 7-bit All other entries are forced format and characters, as above, are in capital. All numbers in forced format are positive integers and non-exponential notation and entry can not be left empty, i.e. 0 (zero) or greater. All forced formats must be in accordance with SI-units (Systeme International). Separator (;) This separator semicolon (;) is written to separate multiple information on same line. If the format is used for a contest which does not use some of
the QSO exchanges, i.e. QSO no., WWL and Exchange, these fields
are left blank. Faulty QSOs A duplicate QSO is marked with a "D" in the
Duplicate-QSO field, and the QSO-points field is set to 0 (zero).
The format does not define when a An incomplete QSO is written with the information received, and the QSO-points field is set to zero (0). In case of a mistake, an error mark must be inserted in the
Callsign field to keep a correct flow in the number of QSOs
records. The error mark QSO numbers The format does not define in what order the QSO numbers must
be listed. It is possible to use the format to submit logs for
contests Missing information If a contest log program can not fill in all the information,
the missing information can be left blank, except if information
is needed for APPENDIX The following section describes different EDI-files for various commonly known contest types.
