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
