[s57aw@bit.si: Re: Cabrillo from WF1B was Re: [RTTY] SCC RTTY Championship - band change rule]

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

I did the following to generate a Cabrillo file from my WF1B log, and
was surprised to discover that it didn't seem to do the right thing
completely.  The last three Q's in my log (114 total) had the QSO
number instead of the 67 that I was expecting.  So, if you're doing
this, check your Cabrillo file.  I just corrected those three by hand,
so don't really know how to fix it systematically.

Hi !

I tried with the last CABRILLO.EXE (Feb 11th 2001)

Very simple way to make a good SCC RTTY Cabrillo log in WF1B :

Temporary edit (or add) the following line in your RTTY.INI (you will find
it in your WF1B directory) file before the contest :

Qth=87

The number in line is last two digit of your license (eg. 87 - 1987; 99 -
1999, 00 - 2000, 01 - 2001 etc)

- - run cabrillo.exe
- - select your category
- - select the ARRL-RTTY as the contest
- - select your SCC BIN file as input file
- - generate the cabrillo file <CTL-ENTER>

Once the log is generated open it with the any simple text editor (NOTEPAD,
WordPad...) and edit just the Cabrillo header - replace ARRL-RTTY with SCC
RTTY.

The header and log should looks like this :

START-OF-LOG: 2.0

Hope that helps !
