just began getting this popup. It seems to be when ACLog as received a message that VarAC has logged a QSO. The error window popup's subject is "Error Executing Shell Functi...". And that Title oddity is something I always notice with popup windows generated by ACLog. Might there be a way that one can size those popups to include all the characters in a line?

I’m adding a new transceiver to my shack and I want to track contacts based on the transceiver used to make each contact. I’ll probably be switching back and forth between radios. I successfully repurposed one of the “Other” fields to be my new “Radio” field. I was also able to adjust its position and tab order in the contact entry form. Question: How can I get my “Radio” field to show up as one of the columns in the contact listing (the “Recent Contacts” table)? If there’s a limit on the number of fields (columns) that can be shown, I can remove the “S” and “R” fields since the color coding gives me that info. But how can I select the fields which appear in this list’s columns? Thanks much! Larry, WA2VKG

AC Log Software
3
When I view my recent contacts log on Amateur Contact log 7.0.11 I am missing County information for all my contacts. All the other colums have the correct information needed. Is there something I need to toggle to have the counties populate? This is a new log for me with N3FJP so I am still learning. 73 Norm - K7NWF

ARRL DX Contest Log 5.1.7 Mults per Band

Is there a way to open a callsign record in qrz.com after entering a qso but before the qso is logged. For example, I have started a QSO and I want to view their qrz.com record to learn more about him/her while in the qso. Something like pressing a button in the current qso record or right clicking the call sign. The current way disrupts the logging work flow, especially during a CW qso while you are trying to copy code and entering a call in qrz.com at the same time. If this is not a feature, can it be put on the feature roadmap?

Second Request -- Cabrillo Not Working
6
Hello, This is my second request. Still looking for help. I need to submit my contest to the ARRL via Cabrillo file. I create the Cabrillo and save it to my ARRL DX Contest folder. Did this many times in the past, so it is pretty simple. I tried it several times a few days ago, and then posted my help message. I tried it again today but it didn't work. I can export an ADIF file okay. I tried to bring up and empty ARRL DX Contest Log, and the import the ADIF. But I can't bring up an empty contest log. It's populated with my QSOs. 73 Fred W3ICM

Amateur Contact Log
2
I just started using Amateur Contact Log. Is there a way to insert special event callsigns so I’ll be alerted when they’re on the air. I’m able to do this with JT Alert and was wondering if this software has that option. Thanks in advance for your help!

Cabrillo File
4
Hello, For the ARRL CW contest.... I must have created a Cabrillo file 50 times over the years, and saved into a contest folder; and uploaded to the ARRL site, I did the same thing today, but the file does not appear in my contest folder. I did it several times, but it still does not appear. Would appreciate your help. 73 Fred W3ICM

There is a flaw in using all of the Contest Logger when the response to a call is "599 State". So on the ARRL CW Contest, I sent "599 TX" as the response. The problem is when the Logger created the Cabrillo file it would not allow me to enter "TX". I had to enter "NTX". As result when I attempted to upload my file to the ARRL, it failed because it said "NTX" and not "TX". Using "NTX" is a Section not a State. I had to manually go into the Cabillo file and edit the "NTX" to "TX". Then the ARRL website accepted my file. JoAnn/AB8YZ

REF# Question
2
I just recently set up AC Log and have a few questions on how REF# works and if I have something wrong. As part of setting up I did an import of ADIF file from another logging program (almost 16k contacts) not all the REF#s are in sequence (most are). The most recent contact was given REF# 1, the oldest 15,659. I just added several new contacts and they were assigned 15,669-15679. Also each time I open the AC log program the Recent Contacts are not in order by Date/Time also not in order by REF# (there is some variability in the order). What is the importance of the REF# and is there a way to set them is the same order as the Date and Time? It would also seem like the oldest should be 1 and the newest the highest number. I could delete and reinstall the entire log file and upload a new ADIF as I am currently running multiple logging programs. I guess perhaps there could have been some corruption error in the initial import that's causing the REF# not to flow in order. Thanks for any thoughts

Yellow, gray, white and italics?

What's the significance of these colors and styles in the DX contesting software?

How do I export only certain the most recent records from the ARRL DX Contest log to ADIF? (See below)
4
I made the mistake of exporting all records from N3FJP ARRL DX Contest to import them AC Log early in the day, and then doing another export of all entries from the contest log to import them to AC Log later in the day, creating 150 dupes which I had to manually remove. Is there a way to only export contacts from the last ADIF creation to AC Log, rather than export all, so I don't wind up with dupes in AC Log?

Rig Interface
2
I am unable to restore Rig Interface on my TS-590s after many years of proper function. I recently moved my rig (but a a few short distance), updated the rig firmware; I have confirmed COM port and all other settings; I have confirmed "rig choice" as Kenwood2; I have rebooted my PC several times. The only indication of communication is two tiny, dotted RED circles. Suggestions? Thanks, 73, W1JHG -Jim

GridTracker Logging when connected to RemoteHams
I have been using RemoteHams for quote sometime and when logging directly the LOTW im able to specificy the correct RemoteHams Grid im using to correctly note in the log the Remote CO station grid im using... I cant seem to log locally to my N3FJP log using that grid config that i have setup in WSJTX or GT .. it still logs my contact info for my QTH. For example if im using an RemoteHams station in FL (EL96) and log a contact when it logs to my grid info instead of putting EL96 it will use my QTH of CN87wi .. is there a configuration im missing? I have a PC that i only use for Remote Hams and typically only use EL96 remote, so if its a static config change i can make that's fine but it would be great to be able to grab that Grid info from GridTracker or WSJTX

I'll be doing POTA once winter's grip has loosened. I'm already putting together my POTA "go bag" (a very large duffle) that will carry everything. Plop it in the car and put it in Drive. I plan to use a separate log for each activation, which will be imported into the master log afterwards. When it comes to the settings (Ctrl+S) for each activation, should I change those so that they reflect the correct location such as long/lat, state, and grid square for the park? It would seem this would be true, but I wanted to ask. Brian Warner WB0NWZ
