This past weekend I used TR Log (Linux) to log my entry in the CQWW WPX CW
contest. Overall I found TR Log quite fun to use and discovered I could
concentrate on operating the contest instead of on the logging software.
However, when it came time to create a Cabrillo log there were many
discrepancies found between the LOG.DAT and LONGLOG.DAT files. These had to be
resolved before Post would create the Cabrillo file. In my case the
discrepancies seemed to be mostly from having made edits to the received SNs by
using Alt-E during the contest. The SN would be one value in LONGLOG.DAT and
another value in LOG.DAT. Other edits were the occasional call sign or prefix
difference.
Why would there be differences between these two files? Shouldn't edits made
during the contest be consistent across the underlying files? What did I do
wrong or am not understanding?
