I had fun with the ARRL INTL. DX Contest this weekend.?? Just sort of started casually then got into it more and more.? Ended up with 82 QSOs in the log. I generated a Cabrillo .log file and because I hadn¡¯t configured DXLab correctly for contesting, it looked like the dog¡¯s breakfast.? + As stated in <> "Making a few test QSOs before the contest and verifying that a proper Cabrillo log can be generated is strongly recommended." I figured out the format needed and corrected my Cabrillo .log file manually ¨C at least to the extent that the ARRL Log Submission page accepted it. So today, I decided I¡¯d go through the documentation and see if I could set up DXLab for contesting. I started here:? and referred to the Contest Table here: And on the Contesting page I got to here:? Configuring DXKeeper and WinWarbler for Contest Operation b. if the entry's?Transmit Exchange?column specifies ????????????????????? TX Exchange setting o if recording QSOs with DXKeeper, then initialize the?TX Exchange?box on the Configuration window's?Contest?tab as specified by the note associated with the?TX Exchange setting o if recording QSOs with WinWarbler, then before directing DXKeeper to generate a Cabrillo file, initialize the?TX Exchange?box on the DXKeeper's Configuration window's?Contest?tab as specified by the note associated with the?TX Exchange setting ????????????????????? recorded TX#?with a note o if recording QSOs with DXKeeper, then set the?TX serial#?box on the Configuration window's?Contest?tab as specified by the note o if recording QSOs with WinWarbler, then set the?TX#?box on the Configuration window's?Contest?tab as specified by the note ????????????????????? recorded TX#?without a note o if recording QSOs with DXKeeper, then click the X button to the right of the?TX serial#?box on the Configuration window's?Contest?tab to initialize it to?1 o if recording QSOs with WinWarbler, then click the X button to the right of the?TX#?box on the Configuration window's?Contest?tab to initialize it to?1 It¡¯s at TX Exchange setting that my old brain locked up.? There¡¯s something fundamental that I don¡¯t understand, because from here on nothing makes any sense to me. With the ARRL INTL. DX SSB Contest, I say ¡®59CA¡¯ for my RST-State and the DX says ¡®59K¡¯ or ¡®59500¡¯ for RST-Power. How do I get WW and DXK Capture to show fields where I can capture this, and have it properly configured in my Cabrillo exported log? + Iain N6ML covered this in his response: </g/DXLab/message/191731> + See for example the 3rd screen shot in <> + and the 2nd screen shot in <> 73, Dave, AA6YQ |
