    • Cabrillo Log Preparation & Submitting Your Log

If you are going to use WSJT-X to operate the FT Roundup, there are some preparations that should be made prior to the contest. The first thing is to make sure you are using the latest version of WSJT-X. For the 2023 contest, the latest version is 2.6.1. Other versions may work but these setup instructions are for version 2.6.1.

In WSJT-X, you need to Set the Contest Mode, Install the Operating Frequencies, Reset the Cabrillo Log, make a copy of your existing wsjtx_log.adi file (if desired), and erase your wsjt_log.adi file. After the contest you will need to Prepare your Cabrillo Log. Follow the links above for instructions on how to do all of these tasks.
