Hi All,

?

I hope that everyone had a great holiday season!? Kimberly and I have a number of software announcements to share with you:

?

?

The enhancements include:

?

- Post Contest Mode Option - You can use this feature for entering contacts with the date and time after the contest is over.

?

- Loop Timing Option for CW added. (The newer timer based timing method added last summer has generated great reports in most cases, but?we have had a few requests for the "old" timing method so have?incorporated this back in as an option.)

?

- Option to key your rig when a wave file is played with the parallel port in addition to the RTS and DTR serial port options which are already supported.

?

- Esc stops the wave file from being played.

?

- BT prosign added.

?

?

In addition to the above enhancements, the Field Day Contest Log also includes:

?

?

?

A. Ability to see which bands and modes are currently in use.

?

B. A warning message if you change to a band that is currently in use by another station.

?

C. The ability to send text messages.

?

D. The ability to synchronize the computer clocks of all PCs on the network.

?

E. By clicking Band, Statistics you will see the totals by operator and station in addition to the totals by band.
?
Additional enhancements to both Field Day Network Log 1.9?& Field Day?Log 2.3:

?

- Import of ADIF files as an alternate merging method (in addition to the previously existing export feature).

?

- Field to record the current operator's initials.
?
- By clicking Band, Statistics you will see the totals by operator in addition to the totals by band.

?

IMPORTANT: The log file structure of the new Field Day programs is different from previous versions.? You will?NOT be able to use earlier versions of these programs and combine (or in the case of the Network version update) the data file.? If you use the newer Field Day versions this year, make sure that all of your Field Day stations have the latest version running!

?

?

This program supports the newly developed Kids Roundup contest scheduled for its?debut?on April 3-4 and performs all the functions that you have come to expect in?our software.? Like the Kids Day software, since this contest is for kids, we offer this program for free.? All we ask is that you enjoy the contest, and?get as many kids involved as possible to experience?the fun and wonder of amateur radio. You can find more details on the Kids Roundup contest at .
