Hi All,
?
Just a reminder, if you are working the CW November Sweepstakes contest this weekend, please remember that my software checks for the correct time offset settings on startup, but not while the program is running.
?
If you are working Sweepstakes tonight, at the exact time that Daylight Savings ends at your location, from the menu options click Setup and then manually adjust your UTC offset (adding an hour as we are falling back).
?
Again, if you close the program before the time change to go to bed for the evening and then open it again tomorrow morning, the program will remind you.? You only have to be conscious of this if you leave the program open tonight when the time changes.
?
Good luck and I hope you get a sweep this year in the contest.??Working all the sections is always a thrill!

Also, for Vista and Win 7 users, I'll pass along this FAQ now as we invariably receive this question many times after each contest.

I'm using Vista / Windows 7, and I can't find the ADIF/Cabrillo/Other file that I formatted for contest submission?
In Vista and Windows 7, after navigating to the program directory where you saved the file you created, you must click on Compatibility Files to see the file. Vista and Windows 7 actually store the files in a "Virtual Store" under the AppData store in your user folder. Fortunately, you don’t need to hunt around for the files, just turn on "Compatibility Files" in Explorer. When you browse to a folder that has these hidden files, you’ll see a Compatibility Files toolbar button. Clicking it will show the virtual files for that folder. Keep in mind, though, that the files won’t show up in Open and Save dialogs.
Here is a YouTube video that another user created to show how to find the files and where the Compatibility tab is located:

As always, thanks for your kind words and continued support of our software.? Kimberly and I really appreciate it!
