STOP SENDING IN BAD LOGS AND READ THE FOLLOWING:
DO NOT SEND LOGS GENERATED BY TR, N1MM, MMTTY OR EI WHATEVER. THESE DO NOT
PRODUCE USEABLE CABRILLO LOGS FOR CQWW RTTY, THOUGH THEY PERHAPS PRODUCE
SOMETHING USEFUL FOR SOME OTHER PURPOSE.
IF YOU ARE DX DO NOT EVEN SEND IN LOGS USING THE SM6BSK CABRILLO CONVERTER
UNLESS AND ONLY UNLESS THE QTH FIELD IN YOUR WF1B .INI FILE SAYS QTH=DX.
THE SM6BSK CONVERTER NEEDS TO SEE "DX" IN THE QTH FIELD IN THE ASCII OUTPUT
FROM WF1B. SIMPLY PUTTING "DX" IN THE ARRL SECTION OF THE CONVERTER WILL
NOT WORK
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE ALREADY SENT IN YOUR LOGS AND HAVE NOW RECEIVED A FIX
FROM SM6BSK--DO NOT SENT YET ANOTHER VERSION OF YOUR LOG AND DO NOT SEND US
A COPY OF THE SM6BSK CONVERTER!
IF YOU ARE USING THE WT4I TOOLS, NO PROBLEMS.
IF YOU HAVE NO CONVERTER, HAVE NOT PROPERLY SET UP THE WF1B .INI FILE AS
DESCRIBED ABOVE, DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GO BACK AND EDIT THE WF1B OUTPUT, DO NOT
WANT TO BUY A WT4I CONVERTER, ETC. SEND IN ONLY YOUR ASCII FILES FOR .SUM
AND .ALL. NOTHING ELSE. WE WILL HANDLE THE REST HERE.
ALL FILES SUBMITTED SHOULD HAVE YOUR CALLSIGN AS PART OF THE FILENAME. THIS
POINT HAS BEEN MADE OVER AND OVER. YET TODAY WE ARE STILL RECEIVING LOGS
WITH GENERAL NAMES SUCH AS CQWW01. WHOSE LOG IS THIS? WE DO NOT WANT TO
HAVE TO RENAME THESE FILES MANUALLY BUT THEY ARE USELESS AS RECEIVED.
