I use N3FJP AC Log for my own logs and for our Scout Camp Club (K4TBS). We have an event coming up and want to use AC Log because of seamless integration into WSTJ-X, Fldigi, etc., but I've run into an issue. If I'm not very careful, credentials for my personal get used on the club call or vice versa. Because of this, I've turned off auto upload features in LOTW/QRZ.
?
I have AC Log set to prompt setup when starting, but it does not seem to save these based on the log file being used. It seems to be based on the last settings.
?
The club has it's own LOTW account and it's own QRZ log. The credentials for uploading to QRZ/LOTW do not seem to be saved based on the log file being used and if I'm not very careful, I could accidentally upload my personal to the club or vice versa. Deleting these would be a nightmare (especially from LOTW).
?
Does anyone else similarly manage personal log and a club log with AC Log? How do you manage this? Manually? Is there a script I can setup to do all this for me either before or after launch of AC Log?
?
Or do you just not try to do this and use another logger to do your club?

This is a great case where you should set up a new user on your PC to have a completely separate environment in which to operate. You can load ACLog into that user partition and set it up just for scout operations.You can move back and forth between users if need be. Keep in mind, however, that you will need to close down ACLog before you switch users to free up the comm ports.

Bob, N7FQT, offered a good suggestion or workaround for your issue.? Another way is to export the ADI file prior to upload and use a third-party software such as ADIF Master (Free) to verify the call sign and operators.? Once you make those adjustments, import them back.? Another, more simpler way, would be to use bulk edit and define the fields you need to change for the records you need to change.? Outside of that, it seems like an issue with club members, or scouts, not knowing the procedure.? For that, you could leave a note.?
Our club has similar issues as we do a lot of events with a mobile trailer and multiple ops not logging in or out even with someone pressing CTL+S before they change.
Just some ideas.

I agree with Greg. You should buy a licensed copy of AC Log for the scout troop. It is the right thing to do. It's $39.99 and I'm sure if you pass the hat around at a meeting you will collect that amount with no problem.? On Sat, Apr 26, 2025 at 10:29?AM Greg Leber via <Greg7412=[email protected]> wrote:
