Notes:
– OhQP does not have a multi category that requires knowing transmitter number. Therefore, this field is not permitted in OhQP entries.
– OhQP does NOT use Cabrillo header info as it has been found over the years to be incorrect. That is why we collect Call, Location, Category and Club info when the log file is submitted to the web upload page.
– OhQP does extract soapbox: tags for inclusion in the results writeup.
