Entry Categories

SINGLE OPERATOR: One person performs all operating and logging functions. Use of spotting nets (i.e. PacketCluster or internet based) is permitted for the purposes of encouraging contest participation.
Only one transmitted signal is permitted on the air at any time. Single operator entries will be categorized by output power: QRP (5 W or less output cw, 10 W or less SSB), low power (less than 100 W output) or high power (greater than 100 W output). All single operator entries will be classified as mixed mode. For cabrillo logs valid values are SINGLE-OP QRP, SINGLE-OP LOW, SINGLE-OP HIGH. Please verifiy your cabrillo log before submitting it.

MULTI OPERATOR: Entries where more than one operator performs the operating and logging functions. Multi-operator entries may employ multiple transmitters simultaneously and are not categorized by power. For cabrillo logs valid values are MULTI-OP.

MOBILE: Entries which are self-contained (radio, antenna, and power source) and capable of motion while in operation. Motion is optional. Mobile entries may have multiple operators and are limited to 100 W output or less, and only one transmitted signal at a time. Mobile stations that change geographic area (counties for Ohio stations, state or province for others) contacted again for QSO points and multiplier credit. The geographic area (county) must be clearly marked in the log for each qso. For cabrillo logs valid values are MOBILE.

ROVER: A station that operates from non-permanent locations in two or more counties. Use of any power source, including AC mains, is permitted. Operation while in motion between fixed sites is permitted. Rover stations that change geographic area (counties for Ohio stations, state or province for others) may be contacted again for QSO points and multiplier credit. The geographic area (county) must be clearly marked in the log for each qso. For cabrillo logs valid values are ROVER.

For Cabrillo log files valid values for the CATEGORY line are: SINGLE-OP HIGH, SINGLE-OP LOW, SINGLE-OP QRP, MULTI-OP, MOBILE, ROVER.
