You can view the list of received logs here. If you have submitted a log that the robot recognizes you will receive a receipt from it. If you can't see your callsign in the list of received logs, try submitting to the robot again (after checking for errors).
If you are not ROVER nor HILLTOPPER please use the LOCATION (ARRL-SECTION) line in the Cabrillo file to put the state you operated from (since using QRA locators to determine this can be ambiguous in some cases).
Contest is always the third weekend of July.
