For those who may be interested in the upcoming ARRL SS CW contest next
weekend....
I have updated my SS CW call history file to include the 2013 csv results
database information for those stations who submitted logs to the ARRL last
year. The file now contains 3,117 call sign records, but WL only loads
2,988 of them. I am checking to see if I can find out why WL doesn't like
129 records and bypasses them on the load. In the meantime I will release
the file as is so you can begin to exercise it with your logs prior to next
Saturday's start. If I can find and correct the problem I will release an
update at that time.
This file contains information from the 2009 through 2013 contests. There
is some data irregularity from the 2009 and 2010 results data files. These
historical data files contain field headings for the CK, but the actual CK
data is missing. When subsequent years results are appended and then
duplicates removed there are a number of records that have no data for the
CK field. If a station submitted a log in 2011, 2012 or 2013 then the CK
information is there. If you get a prefill record with a missing CK number
during the contest it is because this call has not submitted a log in the
last three years which would have provided this information. Just be aware
that from time to time you may get a prefill that has the CK number absent.
You will have to copy this off the air and manually fill it in yourself.
But then, you should be reading all the information being sent to verify it
is correct before logging the contact anyway!
This link will download the latest prefill file.

This link will download a set of instructions on how to use the prefill file
within WriteLog in case you have never done this before.
