Here a question:

Q: Running Taclog in a Windows XP window, everything is ok, but if
activate PTT/CW keying choosing an Interface (Type 2 for LPT),
Taclog hangs if TAB is pushed or hangs during a CW CQ call
(ctrl-F5). Also CW is like "hand made", sound is stucking...
Any Idea?

Dear longtime TACLog User

Ten years ago I issued the first pre-release of TACLog. Since then the
program has developed beyond my own expectations both when it comes to my
own programming experience, features and not least popularity.

Today, I think TACLog is the most used VHF and Above Contest Log Program
thanks to you.

I appreciate all of it and the support and feed back I have received from
all users.

But, time has come to an end for TACLog. I have decided that ten years is
enough for me on the TACLog project. I have recently put back up my antennas
after three years and is enjoying it in full. Several new fun projects
emerge from this and from the development of TACLog:

- a PIC16F84 sequencer+"K" that I completed a couple of months ago.
- other TACBox II gadgets such as voice keyer
- rotator interfaces
all made in PIC-microcontrollers.

Like with TACLog the above will be available free of charge to the ham
community and this time also the source code.

When I started TACLog I needed a good VHF Contest Logging Program, I got it
I think. Now I need a good day-to-day logging program. Perhaps this will one
day see the light of day.

By request you can receive the last release of TACLog. It is also named 1995
but has the ability to show the calling station's name found in the
TACLOG.NAM file. This file and new names can be manipulated using the
NAMES.EXE file. Please note that there is no support for this intermediate
version!

PPS: The TACLog S/W will now be available on direct requests.

Hi

If you plan to participate in the above contest on Sunday, 18th 7-17 UTC,
you need to change the TACLOG.DXC file since IT9 counts as a separate DXCC!



You can also use the TACLOG.DXC file enclosed where I have made the
necessary changes. If so do the following:
1) Rename DATABASE\TACLOG.DXC to another name, e.g. TACLOG_NORMAL.DXC
2) Copy the enclosed TACLOG.DXC to DATABASE\TACLOG.DXC

After the contest rename back TACLOG_NORMAL.DXC to TACLOG.DXC.

Good luck
Bo, OZ2M

Thanks Thorsten, all ok now..........
Now to read the instructions !!
Thanks for you help.

After downloading Taclog, you have to extract the files in a temporary
folder ( for example C:&#92;tactemp ).
After that, you have to type " !install c:&#92;taclog ". Then you can execute
the taclog.exe in the taclog-directory.

What have we done wrong in marketing REG1TEST?

Don't underestimate the success of REG1TEST. It's
now used for the majority of VHF log submissions in
the Nordic countries and the Netherlands. I would
estimate that to be in the order of 2000 log
submissions per year - most of them troublefree.

Compare that to the rejection rate of CABRILLO
logs.

Hello Terry and Roger

Puuuuuhhh, this one of the tough ones. Cabrillo has the disadvantage that it
is an open/variable format, i.e. "every" contest has its own QSL record
formating. What I did was to implement the "ARRL VHF contests" and "CQ VHF
Contest":

Cabrillo QSO template for ARRL VHF contests and CQ VHF Contest

See more here:


And the missing of the signal report is due to the fact that these are not
required in IARU Region 2 to make a complete QSO.

From the above link and the RSGB site nine different formats can be
identified. I am not sure how to tackle this as a new S/W release will be
required every time a new QSO template required for a contest.

I could make a selection box to select one of the nine, currently know ones,
though.
I wonder if it is possible to make a QSO template tool inside TACLog that
will encompass most contests? Any ideas?

Have we fallen into a discussion of the width of rail tracks?

Bo, OZ2M

I must admit that I am still very much in love with REG1TEST :-)
It was endorced by the IARU Region 1 VHF Committee back in 1994 but it still
outperformes all the others. It is rigid but a closed specification.
What have we done wrong in marketing REG1TEST?

Bo,
I have just used Taclog V995 to log a Contest and tried to create an
EDI output file using Option 5 Cabrillo format.
The resultant output File contains most of the required data fields
except the Sent and Received RST entries i.e 599(sent) 599 (Recd).

Am I doing something wrong with the data conversion or is this a
known problem with TL995, and can it be resolved.?

Thanks

Hello TACLog User

I have just released TACLog version 1,995 today, 2002-10-13. It is a
manitenance release taking care of two bugs:
- QSL management for BOTH sent and received cards.
- VOE.EXE file bug resulting that VOEs could not be edited if not already
inserted.

Also ADIF files are now per default named .ADI.

Are you already a member on the TACLog Reflector or the TACLog Group? If not
then look here:




(Also stores tl####(u).zip files as this site might be provide faster and
more reliable service than QSL.NET.)

Good luck
Bo

The code page fix is only needed if you Windows
keyboard setting is set up for a keyboard that is
incompatible with the standard American code page.
English & Dutch users for example will have no
problems.

It seems to be a bug, that even though the right
codepage should be loaded via
config.nt/autoexec.nt, when a DOS program is
launched, it does in fact not happen.

Anyway using this batch file is a fast fix to the
problem. Another fix is to set your Windows
keyboard setting to English(US), but then you loose
all those nice regional letters :-(

Hello TACLog Users

Long time no news. But here is a little news mail

to you all.

PROBLEMS WITH WINDOWS 2000 AND WINDOWS XP
-----------------------------------------
Q: Why will TACLog sometimes on some PCs not run

under Windows 2000, or

Windows XP. A: The problem is under

investigation. It could be that one of

the following issues are relevant to your

problem:

- Hard disk file system is NTFS. If you have a

spare hard disk try

to format it with FAT16 or FAT32 instead.
- The hard disk is too big. Try a smaller one if

you have one.

Running TACLog in full screen mode. Try to run

it in a windowed DOS box.

- Uffe, PA5DD, found that creating a small .BAT

file helped him with

Windows 2000 setting the Code Page first:
mode con cp select=850 (other code pages

should work as well)

cd c:&#92;taclog (the path to where

you store TACLog)

taclog.exe
Then start TACLog by executing this .BAT file.

Peter, OZ1PIF, has found the latter to work on

Windows XP with a NTFS

formatted hard disk. He is currently verifying

that it is a bullet-proof

solution.

PLEASE report your findings on this issue.

It seems we had a old taclog.dxc in the database directory,
(I thought it was a new one already), so as I said, I
did put a new one (also) in the database directory and after
that no more problems where found during logging of YO & YU calls.
I couldn't find any general recount key-combination in taclog,
so we switched some details using edit in taclog to get the counts
for the previous logged YO's & YU's, after that is was O.K.

Question: is there a general recount/recalc in Taclog ?
If NO, that would be a nice option in the near future.
If YES, how do I recalc ?

As usual the program worked perfect for the rest of the contest,
keep upthe good work Bo...
