N7XG Logger version 5.02.02 Release
I am trying to wrap up the next release 5.02.02 of the logger and need a couple of more beta testers tht are available to help. If interested please respond offline.
Summary of changes to this release: Corrected a minor issue when the contacts grid was double clicked and there were no records being displayed incorrectly opening the edit screen in new record mode. Updated email to support SSL/TLS Moved email settings to System Options screen (Email Options) Added fields to the System options screen (QSL 2nd Request) for the headers, body, and signature fields. Minor changes to the Email QSL Request screen to add a Subject line field. In this version if the logger determines that the outgoing email settings are not set you will not be able to attempt to use the email functions (disabled) During logger startup the logger will attempt to write a file into the logger to determine if the files permissions are set correctly. If the user does not have write access then the logger will shutdown. Redesigned the ADIF Export screen. Options are now selected from a dropdown list, better use of filters during export, and also added the ability to add /M or /P for mobile or portable stations. Added new menu item under the Action menu to allow you to change several of the settings while monitoring a net. Bakers Dozen award selector. This new feature will make it much easier to select and print out the Bakers Dozen Award. New field in System Options ¨C MyCallArea Updating the current bureau managers in the System Options table ¨C Currently KB8UEY and W2UJ Update System Options table with correct Area Awards manager as it is defined in officers table. Corrected the way the address field in the officers table was being stored |

Re: Locking Up
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDean, ? Morning, I reloaded the program, left the computer off for 4 days and low and behold last night it launched. I put the new backup file from my other computer in and it seems to be working just fine. Hope all is well. Hi to Jan Dwight - WF4H ? From: N7XGlogsupport@... [mailto:N7XGlogsupport@...]

OK, dug deeper and found the problem. I will get it corrected in 5.02.02. RJ, when I get the beta ready could you do some testing for me? Dean Davis, N7XG -------- Original Message --------

Re: ADIF Export
Rick,
Are you sure you got only 7000 and not the full 17000, or some other number?? We may not be talking about the same thing.? I am not saying that ADIF export fails, but that, for example, if I filter a 3600 record database by selecting a single callsign, for 6 records, I get a large number of records in the export, not just the six I expected.. This happens for 5.01.11, 5.01.15, and 5.02.01.? I don't have 14c to test.? I was happy to exhibit the problem on a small database because it takes over an hour to export "six" ADIF records from a 13,000 record database. As I said, this may be a problem only with me; no-one else seems to be experiencing it.? I don't use the ADIF export anyway; I use CSV export to Excel. to ADIF so that I can select all the data and just the days or other time periods that I want and then fix date, time, band, and mode problems.? I was just trying to help others who may have the same problem in the future. I get the feeling that I'm not making myself clear with this and am certainly obsessing about it, so I'll probably just check out of the discussion unless and until someone else sees the same problem. dih-dih-dih-dah-dih-dah, RJ, NA0L ---In N7XGlogsupport@..., <wb5fdp@...> wrote : My

Re: ADIF Export
Thanks, Dean. ?I discovered some more info. ?I thought it might be a size related problem as I have 13,000 records in my database. ?I restored some old backups and found that for 2200 and fewer records an adif after filter works fine. ?For 2370 and more records, I would get the whole database exported even if only a few records were filtered. ?Hope this helps.

Locking Up
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDean, Any input on the emails from yesterday. When I try to launch the program with windows 10 it won't be past the logo page and says the program has stopped working. If you can give me some info maybe I can fix it or I will have to reload the program from scratch. This is locking up on my Logger Laptop I use when NCS. Appreciate any help you can give me Thank You ? 73's Dwight????? WF4H 3905CCN 40M Early Net Coordinator ? |

For Canada, a US op is supposed to sign as Call/Canadian identifier, e.g., KI4WCQ/VE3. I think that is the way the call should be entered under call in a logger.? Most of the time one would see the above logged in N7XG as KI4WCQ? portable?? VE3, which may work for the way the logger keeps track of everything, but I don't think it's the way it should be done....i.e., as how it would be done in any other logger or on paper. I have heard many US stations check into our nets from Canada, and they generally don't sign their call as the rules for Canadian operation state, or the call isn't usually put into the logger the way they signed or should sign. OTOH, stations like K9EA check in properly with the Canadian identifier on the nets where I saw him in Canada and it seems to have made it into the logger in those cases.? When it doesn't, this could be remedied by the NCS, but sometimes one may not be familiar with CEPT or IARP rules.? Some require the country identifier before the call, some require it at the end of the call as Canada. I think in these few DX cases, we can deal with a manual edit if we need to. 73, Johnny KI4WCQ ---In N7XGlogsupport@..., <dean@...> wrote : What I have seen in the past were things like this: VE3/W1ABC or W1ABC/VE3 What I will add is a second check ox to append the /P and hopefully people can figure it out for them selves.

Re: Future plans
I see the problem a P5 would cause, but you can't account for all cases of stupidity or ignorance by an operator.? I would simply offer the option of /P.? If it is something more unusual such as /call area or some other way to sign a call, we just live with it and know it means manual editing for an upload.

I don't know what you are asking in regards to DX and Canada.? Can you elaborate?

In all but one of my matched qsos with mobiles, they used just their base callsigns. >they do accept our cards and we DO believe that! It is possible to get two or three matches from state lines or tri-states. It is only neccessary for the fixed station to upload duplicate qsos at slightly different times (a minute difference works), else the records just overwrite each other. The mobile just does a separate upload for each state (which is normal), but again with the qsos at slightly different times. This gets more interesting with mobile to mobile tri-states, however. >If he says mobile, I log /M. Likewise if he says portable, it is /P or if he says stoke 3 I log /3.
