Charlie, Steve's module is correct and doesn't need any modification. RST
and membership number are all that is required in the exchange and all that
need to be logged. I used it last year and it worked perfectly.
Over the years it has become customary to include the name of the person
being worked when you make contact, (eg if I was working you I might send
KI5XP Charlie 599 1417) but this is not obligatory and indeed some of the
more competitive members do not. It is therefore not necessary and indeed a
waste of time to actually record the name in your log.
An FOC master database has been created and provides a useful reminder if
you wish to include the name when sending the exchange. I suspect I have
tried to explain all this to your friend, obviously without success!

Subject: [WriteLog] FOC Marathon Module
I have a friend who's a FOC'er and wants to use his copy of Writelog for the
Marathon. I"ve checked out Steve's module for it, however the areas for
data entry are Callsign, RCV (RST), SNT (RST), and FOC #. I've been told
that the correct exchange for the Marathon is Name and FOC'er (sic) number.
Is there a way to change the entries, or does the Module need to be edited?
I emailed Steve N9OH who wrote the module, but Im not sure if he still
maintains it or not.
Thanks
Charlie
