+### Contests
+
+The **Contest exchange** block on the entry holds the contest's name and the
+serials — sent and received. Both stay between contacts, because they belong to
+the session rather than to the contact just logged, and the serial sent counts
+on by itself so it is not retyped forty times an hour. An exchange that is a
+zone, a section or a name rather than a number is kept as written.

+**Contest entry (Cabrillo)** exports the entry sponsors accept. Only the
+contacts of the contest named there are included. The header — operator
+category, power, claimed score — cannot be worked out from a log, so it is
+yours to fill in; the defaults are single operator, low power, all bands, mixed
+mode.

+### Confirmations
+
+The **QSL** column shows a tick when the other station has confirmed, and the
+**Confirm** button on a row records a card that has arrived. A confirmation
+counts from wherever it came: a paper card, LoTW or eQSL. An award wants one of
+them, not all three, so the log does not ask for all three.
+
+**Bands worked** counts, per band, the contacts made, the distinct stations
+worked, and how many of those contacts are confirmed.
