Re: Modifying myQTH through script
I found out what I doing wrong.
The correct item/variale is MYQTHID and not myQTH.

Hi folks.
Is that possible to change myQTH through a script?
Trying to modify it I got the message 'myqth is not a valid QSO item'.

So if you're a casual contester, you can have N1MM+ with packet and running with DXKeeper, Spot Collector & DXView with the N1MM Gateway.
You log into M1MM and it automatically shows up in DXKeeper.? With total transparancy, works nearly flawless here.
I did have some RF causing an issue during the CQ160. A friend has not been able to make it work (still troubleshooting).
Real easy way to have the best of both worlds with little configuration!!

WORKS WELL AND IS WHAT I DO. The only problem is some? (FEW) contests are not supported in N1MM and User Defined is not a Kindergarten operation.

Cabrillo generation for major contests is only provided so that DXers can discharge their "responsibility" for having made QSOs in a major contest. I agree, Dave. I've always logged contests in a contest logger (N1MM for 15+ years, before that WriteLog), generated Cabrillo for contest submissions from those contest loggers, and exported ADIF to DXKeeper which is my primary logger that keeps track of awards, interacts with LOTW, eQSL, ClubLog beautifully. Contest loggers keep track of dupes according to contest rules, can use F-Key files to send CQ, contest exchanges, fills, etc, to greatly speed up your operation, generate Cabrillo files for submission if you're competing, generate ADIF to send to your main logger, which for me has been DXKeeper for 20 years. But if you're contesting to pick up DX or other QSOs for awards, FIRST learn how contests work. Answer a CQ with ONLY your call. On SSB and RTTY, twice, and LISTEN! On CW, once and listen. Repeat on both modes only if he hasn't answered anyone. When you're answered, ONLY send your exchange -- never send your call again if the other station got it right, and don't send HIS call again -- he knows it! On SSB, he'll get you by the timing of your response and your voice, on CW by that timing and the frequency of your note. And never send your exchange until you're copied his! Nothing extra -- no "please copy," no "good luck in the contest," -- contesters are trying for 2-3 QSOs per minute, so all that extra stuff slows us down! Program F-Keys for common fills that are unique to a contest, like numbers or State/Province, and put spaces before and after on RTTY and CW, so that what you're sending doesn't run together with noise on the other guy's screen or his ears. 73, Jim K9YC

Not being the quickest but having a good understanding, it still took me best part of a day to do all this.
Is there a simple way to add user templates to the Cabrillo creator or if supplied with the appropriate UDF files for N1MM, have them included in the contest listing.
+ No. Cabrillo is far too complex for that.
I was exclusively DX Labs Suite until I had to do this.
Another possibility to add an Access Database where these can be user added.
+ Same answer.

Re: Multiple stations and callsigns

I have two stations I keep logs for. Both are set up with DXLAB. The first station is my home station, the second station is my vacation station in ZF. I Currently use lotw with the home station,. I would like to use lotw with the ZF station. What is the best process for handling both logs and lotw?
+ Your QSOs made from the continental US and your QSOs made from ZF should be maintained in separate log files, with separate default station callsigns. + You will need separate LoTW "Station Callsigns" and "Station Locations" + As Tom KQ5S suggested, review this article: ? ? ?73, ? ? ? ? ? ?
