Re: Contesting

BILL KENNAMER All Messages By This Member #227479 Since I was there for the start of ADIF, and was the one who assigned N5KO to evaluate the use of ADIF for a universal contest log checking format, which resulted in the development of the Cabrillo format, don't expect ADIF to become the standard for contest log checking in the future. Use N1MM for contests and upload after the fact to DXLab. Each has their purpose, and only a couple of mouse clicks are required.

Typically more than a dozen fairly mainstream contests a year, all supported by N1MM. Although I've never needed it, N1MM does have the option of user-defined contests (UDF). I suggest you study the N1MM doc on that, and ask on the N1MM reflector if you need help. And I think VE3KI monitors this and other reflectors as a member of the N1MM team, and answers a lot of questions. + If you're serious enough about contesting to require Cabrillo generation for "lesser" contests, log your QSOs with N1MM; after generating Cabrillo, export your QSOs to ADIF, and then import them into DXKeeper. + DXLab explicitly does not - and will not - support serious contesting; it enables DXers to participate in contests in search of "new ones". Cabrillo generation for major contests is only provided so that DXers can discharge their "responsibility" for having made QSOs in a major contest. + Some fine day, the contesting community will switch to ADIF, which would support every contest. ? Haaah , good luck with that. I thought ADIF was supposed to be the be all and end all when it started but I guess not. ? ? ? ? ? 73, ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Dave, AA6YQ -- W0MN EN34rb 44.08226 N 92.51265 W Hierro candente, batir de repente HP Laptop
