You can input your log data which will be converted to a Cabrillo formatted log for you (it will generate a log and return it to you), and then you can in turn submit your Cabrillo log online via the web app at contest-log-submission.arrl.org/. Awards: Downloadable Certificates will be awarded in the following categories at https://contests.arrl.org/certificates.php Single Operator: - Top Single Operator in each ARRL/RAC Section for high and low power. - Top Single Operator on each band (50, 144, 222, 432, 902, 1296 and 2304-and-up categories) in each ARRL/RAC Section where significant effort or competition is evident.

For example, if KA1RWY has the highest single-operator all-band score in the CT Section and her 50- and 222-MHz scores are higher than any other CT single operator’s, she will earn a certificate for being the single-operator Section leader and endorsements for 50 and 222 MHz. - Top Single Operator Portable in each ARRL/RAC Section where significant effort or competition is evident.
