AC Log Comment Field

 

Good Morning!

I entered a comment in the Comments field when I logged an FT-8 QSO.

Now that comment is replicated for each QSO I log!

According to the on-line documentation, that can be stopped by unchecking

Settings -> Carry Comments Data Forward

I've done this and it doesn't help.

Suggestions?

Download and learn how to use N1MM.? It covers just about everything.? It really is your best option.

Anyone who has read Scott’s dissertation on writing contest logging programs has a pretty fair idea of what it takes.? And why Scott doesn’t support a bunch of the smaller QRP contests as well.

THOUGHT – and this is a dangerous thing……..

Has anyone considered that you can CONFIGURE AC-Log to handle the contest exchange of your favorite unsupported contest.? Build a screen that has the entry data you need, set the TAB order to enter the exchange quickly…… and done.? If you need a CABRILLO file, there are other programs out there that can convert an ADIF to a CAB.

The SMIRK contest is a great example.? Scott’s ARRL VHF contest software comes close….. until you get a contact with a SMIRK number you need to record.? I would not think of begging Scott to support that contest – not popular enough.? If Scott’s VHF program had one extra field that was just for a “NOTE” the SMIRK number could go in the note.? But it does not.? And the contest just isn’t popular enough for Scott to waste time on.? It is only important to a small number of 6m-ops.

It is what it is.? What Scott gets done is amazing!? It is was easy, everyone could write their own programs.

Some of these may not be big enough for the software providers to create special programs for them.? You may want to check with the organizers to see if there are any programs that do support them.? Depending on their rules and exchange , they may be similar to another contest that you could use instead.? The only downside is this may require some editing of the cabrillo file after it's been created and you may not have accurate scoring and mults, depending on how close their contest is to others.? I imagine the Ontario QSO party would be similar to other QSO Parties, but some allow FT8 and some allow it on the WARC bands with a standard exchange, so you never know.

Re: Wishlist auto fill #fields

 

Yes I do. I have the XML account and everything gets auto filled when I click on the DX stations that were spotted by someone else. However when an alert pops on the wishlist I don’t have an option to go to the frequency/band. I only have a button for delete from wishlist

Re: Wishlist auto fill #fields

 

If by wish list do you mean watch list ? It is configured to alert on call tab and or DX Spot?
On your QRZ account is it an XML account or better ?? Do you have it configured to do QRZ internet lookup ?

Thanks in advance to everyone for your thoughts.

Re: Converting from DX4WIN V 8.03

 

Mark,

If they are LOTW confirmed in DX4WIN, then you enter your LOTW login info under "eLogs", LOTW, then you would do a download. That will mark them confirmed.

You can do the same for QRZ Logbook and eQsl.

Hi All,

Since this group is for N3FJP Software support, please send any replies on your thoughts on the pros and cons of obtaining a new call sign directly to Brian.

I'd appreciate any thoughts, probably best off-line to avoid straying too far afield.

Re: ADIF File Import by date

 

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your e-mail.? Records are imported in the order they exist in the ADIF file to be imported.? If the exporting program can't first sort the records before creating the ADIF file, you'll need to click File > Sort Log on Date after importing to AC Log.

Enjoy!

Re: ADIF File Import by date

 

you could try adifmaster, if it sorts it, then import to n3fjp, but I just use the sort by date in n3fjp.
