[NA-User] Help, how can generate my CQ 160 log

[Hank Kohl K8DD]

160ssb02.QDF is not on the "Load Contest file" screen when you bring up NA, 
but it is in the NA directory?
Is NA looking for it in a subdirectory below NA?  (Config - F2 (Paths to 
Program Files)
If the file is about 800 bytes, it is empty, but it should still show up in 
the "Load Contest file" screen if you are configured to look in the NA 
directory.

To produce the files for the contest (.prn .sum, etc) you have to load the 
log into NA, and when you exit either use ALT-X and P (print) or W (write).
