[CQ-Contest] WriteLog for State QSO Parties?

[Trent Sampson]

Hi Robert, 

Pushed the send too quickly. 

I operate from VK4KW and we have good 160M capability. Not great but good. 

We also hear well, most of the time - But south east QLD is prone to electrical storms.

We should be on 160 in the CQWW and the Oceania DX Contest.

Cheers 

VK4TS

GE Trent

         I am a long long time user of Writelog especially for rtty.  I will admit I have just finished for the day at least ,

         reclaiming land and am really tired,       but    You mentioned  Writelog    and   Waterfalls ????   Am I forgetting something

         For the life of me I can not picture Writelog and Waterfalls ?   My version is  Sept 2017  .

             In any case Trent do you work 160  cw ?   I almost finished my 160 SW beverage.

As in-state participants age, it's gotten more difficult to get serious operations in some of the more remote counties, so we (NCCC) are considering permitting county-line operation, where each county is logged as a separate QSO.

For example, a two-county exchange with "/" as a separator is correctly logged as a QSO for each county (assuming the exchange is correct) :), and the county is correctly transferred to the entry window if appended to the callsign with "/" as a separator.  N1MM also makes it super easy for a roving mobile to change counties.
