SP DX contest

Looking at my plans for contest operation, one contest I plan to enter is the SP DX contest (non-SP) entry. I created a contest log today for that contest and was checking it, and I see that it's missing an entry category. I was planning on trying their 3-band Mixed category, but I see that the category is not present in the choices when creating the Cabrillo log, there are only selections for All-band and single-band.

Can this be changed in the contest setup? The contest dates are April 4 - 5 and rules are at https://spdxcontest.pzk.org.pl/2020/rules.php

Thank you for your help.

Good question.
Just select SOTB MIXED from the Category popup. There is no Cabrillo specification for three bands. Keep the Band info free, or edit the Cabrillo file using a simple text editor. There is no examples for the logs.
Maybe you can enter you category in the web form. I don't know.

OK, I guess I'll have to select All Band Mixed for the log, and then edit the Cabrillo file after the contest is complete. It won't be the first time I've done something like that...

Thanks for your help.

OK, NOW I've got it...I looked in the wrong place for Category when I was first doing it. SOTB is Single Op Three Band, so that should result in a proper Cabrillo file.

Thanks again for helping me see things correctly...
