It's not quite THAT A-Z clear unless we know what software you're using for
your e-mail client, but here's a generalized response:
1) Create the CABRILLO file and make sure it contains everything you need
to submit.
2) BE SURE to RENAME the file to indicate your call and the contest:
e.g. WA4AOS_FD2002.CBR
this gives the log checkers some heads-up with regars to whom the file is
from and which contest it's for. At the very least, name it with your call.
2) BE SURE you KNOW where the CABRILLO file have been saved...!
3) Start your e-mail client and prepare a short transmittal message to the
log checkers, stating the name of the file you will be sending to them.
4) READ YOUR MANUAL for your e-mail client and find out how to ATTACH a
file to the message, and follow the steps outlined there. When prompted to
provide the name of the file, either type it in (using file drive, path,
and filename) or BROWSE to the file and click on it to attach it to your
message.
5) SEND the message.
Good luck,
