Well the JMFD for 2018 is almost complete, actually complete if you have submitted your log..... Note particularly section 14..
From the 2018 JMMFD rules document :
Log Submission
12. For each contact: UTC time, frequency, station worked, RST/serial numbers sent/received and claimed score. (VHF and above location of other station and distance showing the Lat/Long or Maidenhead Locator to 6 figures for the station worked.)
13. All logs must be accompanied by a summary sheet showing: call sign, name, mailing address, section entered, number of contacts, claimed score, location of the station during the contest, and equipment used, and a signed declaration stating "I hereby declare that this station was operated in accordance with the rules and spirit of the contest and that the contest manager's decision will be accepted as final". For multi-operator stations, the FULL names and all call signs (legible) of all operators must be listed.
14. The Email address for this year’s JMMFD contest should be setup a few days before the contest, and I would suggest to those who will be sending in your Logs electronically, to send in a test email with the words “TEST JMMFD 2018”, in subject the line and also set the “READ REQUEST RECEIPT flag (if it is available on your e-mail system.). Your call sign can then be added into the database for this year’s contest. When actually submitting your log for the contest, if you do not receive an e-mail acknowledging receipt of your log, then the log has not been received.
15. Paper logs may be posted to "John Moyle Contest Manager, 27 Laguna Ave, Kirwan 4817 QLD". Alternatively, logs may be e-mailed jmfd2018@wia.org.au, vk4ae@wia.org.au, or snail mailed via the WIA Contest Manager, JMMFD, P.O. Box 2042 Bayswater, VIC 3153. Club stations must forward in the first instance an electronic version of their log. Club Stations who submit only a paper log will have that log returned as unreadable, due to the very large amount of work involved in entering and checking large paper logs.
16. The following formats are acceptable: Microsoft Excel or Word, ASCII text or the print log output file from electronic log programs such as VK Contest Log (VKCL). Logs sent by disc or e-mail must include a summary sheet and declaration, but the operator’s full name (legible) is acceptable in lieu of a signature.
17. Because of the altered publishing lead time of AR Magazine Logs must be postmarked no later than 18th April 2018, and as the post is now so slow and unreliable, logs despatched on the last day might not arrive in time. Electronic versions of the log will be received until midnight 25th April 2018. Any logs received after this date will be returned as ineligible.
18. If any station works the same station multiple times on any band or on any mode, both stations should each enter a log to verify those contacts. This rule was introduced to overcome a problem experienced in previous contests where a portable station worked a significant number of home stations, but those home stations did not enter a log, so there were a very large number of unverifiable contacts.
