Participating in the IARU HF Contest (2025/07/13)
On the morning of the 13th, I was listening to 21 MHz SSB and heard a contest being held.
When I asked ChatGPT for 'What contest?', they told me it was 'Exchange ITU numbers at the IARU HF World Championship'.

I was only able to communicate with three stations on 21MHz SSB so I switched to CW.

There were 66 stations from morning until 8pm Philippine time (11:59 UTC).
Of these, only 3 stations were SSB at 21 MHz.
The remaining 63 stations are all CW
What made me happy was that I was able to communicate with eight American stations on 7MHz CW.
I have been able to communicate with 137 stations in the US via 7MHz FT8, but this is the first time I have done so via CW!

Is the other station a big gun for the contest?
But it often flew off with my poor dipole.
Turbo HAMLOG does not generate Cabrillo log files, so save them to a CSV file.
I asked ChatGPT to create a Cabrillo log file.

I should quickly switch to logging software such as N1MM Logger+, but I can't seem to switch from Turbo HAMLOG, which I'm used to.

Log is https://contest-log-submission.arrl.org/ I have uploaded it to.
Now, regarding CW operation.
ONAIR using our own CW operation support and automatic logging program AutoCWType Ver1.4.2, CWGet and CWType
 
Since I can't receive CW, I use CWGet developed by UA9OV.
I also like to use CWType because I don't have a telegraph key.


AutoCWType Ver1.4.2 automatically logs from CWType to HAMLOG and automatically uploads to LoTW, Clublog, and eQSL.
