Would note that it would make the job of log checkers much easier if the TRlog
multiplier file actually used the designated abbreviations: More specifically:
All abbreviations should be completely in upper case
Quebec should be abbreviated QC and not Pq for the RAC contest
Yukon should be abbreviated YT and not Yu for the RAC contest
Newfoundland/Labrador should be abbreviated NL and not Nf for the RAC contest.
I suspect that editing the file is a trivial task and can be easily achieved
with a DOS editor. Am certainly willing to do that.task but suspect that
widespread uptake of any updates will be random.
TRlog is also faulty (or at least was faulty - have not seen all the most
recent reports) in the manner in which columns are organized as it does not
produce a Cabrillo report that meets the description for RAC - columns are
misplaced. While these items sound trivial and picky, they do not become so
when you are on the receiving end of contest logs and have to check each one
for correct use of designated multiplier descriptions and column organization
in the Cabrillo report (One quickly learns that in practical delivery, there is
no such thing as adherence to Cabrillo standard - at least for the RAC
reports). These minor issues quickly multiply the time it takes to process all
the logs, even using automated means - unless that is TRlog users are ready to
accept significant score reductions !
