Logging Tips

Linear Parks: Rivers & Trails

Linear parks are rivers and trails. Logging may require special attention to detail if the park crosses a state border with another state.

A few examples include:
K-4556 Appalachian National Scenic Trail
K-4561 New England National Scenic Trail
K-4582 Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail

So how do you log contacts in a park that crosses state lines?

A) Make sure your log includes the MY_STATE field (column) with the 2-letter abbreviation for the state you were in. You can add this with ADIF Master if your logging program didn't already include it.

B) Add the state's 2-letter abbreviation to the ADIF filename before submitting. Example: WV1W@K-4582-CT-20220520
