Okay, updates have slowed down to a crawl so Revision 1.2 might be the last version I post. It's up on the website right now  http://chudek.aberon.net/index.cgi  in the Minnesota Wireless Assn album.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE ! ! ! . . . 

A question was asked whether someone could extract the information to produce a LOG.ADI file for Writelog. Writelog will import previous logs and parse the zones and designators automatically.

Also, I see W4NZ created the IARU.SEC file for N1MM. Unfortunately, these types of support files can go out of date overnight.

So I decided to add the ability to extract this information from the spreadsheet... relatively easy.

You will now find new N1MM Logger and Writelog tabs at the bottom of the spreadsheet. Selecting one of these tabs will display the data necessary to create the requisite data files. Any additions or updates to the master page will automatically propagate to these output pages.

Here's what you do:

Open a text editor, go back into the appropriate Excel tab, select the column of data, select copy (Ctrl+C), now go back to your text editor, select paste (Ctrl_V), the data will transfer into your editor. You can now save this text file with the appropriate filename. You may want to "clean up" the extra blank lines (I'm not certain if that's necessary). In any case, you're way ahead in not having to type all this stuff in manually!

Please let me know if you find any issues with these export pages.
