Hi Alan,
To show which contacts are Run and which are S&P add the following to
your logcfg.dat (before you make the Qs - too late after):
SHOW SEARCH AND POUNCE = TRUE
All S&P Qs will be marked with a $
It would be pretty easy to dump your log into Excel and manipulate it to
give you contacts in the form of
21299 SSB 02-Oct-04 23:32 76 K5YAA 407 Ok Ok 2
or
21.299 SSB 02-Oct-04 23:32 76 K5YAA 407 Ok Ok 2
Converting this to ADIF may take a little programming. However, maybe someone has already done it and will tell us how. Maybe it could be done in Excel. I don't know enough about the ADIF format to be sure about this part.
Hope this is of some help

Thanks TOM. Yes, POST saves the original log.
But as you might be aware, the logged freq data is in two
different locations --- at the beginning of the record
it lists the band and mode, i. e., 15SSB... followed by date
and the time followed by a decimal point and the frequency
in thousands of a Mhz (.xxx). So the record in the original log
looks something like this: (note--spacings modified)
15SSB 02-Oct-04 23:32 .299 K5YAA 407 Ok Ok 2
After running POST, that original log is saved, and a new log
is created, looking something like this:
15SSB 02-Oct-04 23:32 76 K5YAA 407 Ok Ok 2
What I'm really asking for is a final log that looks something like
this:
21299 (or 21.299) SSB 02-Oct-04 23:32 76 K5YAA 407 Ok Ok 2
So that when I convert this info to ADIF format (in order to input
to my regular log) the actual frequency would be preserved.
I realize this might be impossible with the dedicated line
spacings that are required by TR. However, I might mention,
that when POST writes a CABRILLO file, it does change 15SSB
to 21000 PH as follows, so we know that some changes are possible:
QSO: 21000 PH 2004-10-02 2332 W6RCL 299 LAX K5YAA 407 Ok
Maybe most of us don't care about saving this data.... maybe this
fix to accomodate a small number of users doesn't make sense to
anyone else (including Tree). But I believe it would make a good
contest logging program better.
Thanks, 73 de alan

-------------- Original message from Tom Hammond : --------------
Though I've not used this option, doesn't it save a copy of your original
file before performing the renumber action?
I know POST saves the input file before it performs many other operations,
seems logical that it'd do the same here.

I know another release is planned for the upcoming Oct-Nov
contests, and I would like to suggest software changes which
would put the exact frequency used into the final log (for those
of us who use "log frequency enable" during the contest).
Currently, POST.EXE discards that information when you use
the command to "renumber" QSO's.
It would be great to save FREQ info, so after the contest, when the
TR-log data file is uploaded and exported into my regular logging program,
the exact frequency would be preserved.
Why? Because long after the contest is over I like to look back at the
log and
figure out which are RUN and which are S and P contacts.... and to
compare my performance in different contests. Looking at frequency data is
an easy way to do that. Plus, I just like to have the exact frequencies
rather
than just band information.
Thanks and best 73, de alan
