First, thanks for all the great feedback and suggestions on Field Day Contest Log 4.0.? I really appreciate it!?

?

After using the program this past weekend, the two recurring suggestions that many users have sent along are to make it easier to change initials and to let me know that West Virginia did not color properly on the map.? I've already corrected the code for the map and I will definitely look at making the changing of the initials easier as well.

Many users, especially those who did not network, but are combining files from multiple PCs have been asking how to do that with the new version, so here are the steps to combine your data with version 4.0:

For Field Day Contest Log Version 4.0:

1. Start the Field Day Program.

1A. If you were not networked during the event and have multiple logs to combine, from each of the other PCs click File > Export ADIF and take them to the PC on which you are combining your master log. On that PC click File > Import ADIF and select each of the ADIF files. Then click File > Remove Duplicates (if you wish) and then click File > Sort Log on Date.

Make sure that you back up these files from each PC before you begin combining them! Also, don't merge the GOTA station QSOs into this file. GOTA contacts are added separately.

2. From the program's menu options click File > Write Cabrillo (Contest Submittal)?File. Complete the form that appears. Then click the Write Duplicate and Write Summary file command buttons.

3. When you click the Write Summary command button, you will be prompted to save the file and then given the option to view it. Click Yes to view the file. Then click the link at the lower left to visit website (you get extra bonus points submitting this way).

4. After navigating your web browser to , click on the ARRL Field Day entry form link. Then complete the form that appears. You can refer to the summary display to quickly retrieve the information you need to enter on the web form.

5. Click the Submit Entry button at the bottom of the form.

6. Since Rule 8.4.2 (above) requires an alphanumeric listing of calls by band and mode, you should also attach the yourcall.dup file to an e-mail addressed to fieldday@.... If you are planning to snail mail additional supporting documentation, you have the alternative of saving this file to a portable medium and including it in your packet.
