Hi all,
Returned from the Sable island trip and Writelog worked great.
The other two were using CT and were impressed by the Writelog program.
This is the situation/problem.
The two computers on CT were networked together and ok for awhile
until some interference happened and they broke the connection to
both work individually. Logging continued with just the network now
disconnected. Looking back should have stopped the logging
here and restarted with new log names to keep the logs seperate.
Looking at the logs on both computers, now have duplicate entries
while they were networked and stand alone entries after the
connection was broken. How can the logs be combined/merged and
not have the duplicates show in the combined log? I can go in
the ADIF files and manually delete the dups but if the log is
large can be long day... In age of computers must be a fast
way I don't know about.
I bring this up here, because once I get them to use Writelog and
if this same thing happens, what are the options? I could not
find anything in the archives on my computer or the web.
I noticed in the Help file under File Merge that it will
import ADIF files but would it clean the dups (meaning real dups
with all the parameters the same) or just add the two dups as
independent qso's? See next as answered this question.
I tried importing the two ADIF files, with dups in them, into
Writelog and it just appended them in the log. Did not strip
out the real dups. Could this then cause a scoring problem
if it were a contest.
Hope I am clear on this and open to comments/suggestions.
