[SCCC] Log Formatting Errors for Multi-County QSOs When Using WriteLog for 7QP/NEQP Contests

[Bruce Horn]

Hi,

WriteLog formats the QTH portion of a multi-county QSO with spaces between each county (e.g. "ORCUR ORDOU"). The 7QP and NEQP log uploaders do not recognize this as a multi-county QSO because it expects the county designations to be separated by a slash. To successfully submit your log you'll need to manually edit these types of QSOs to include the slash ("ORCUR/ORDOU") using a text editor, such as Notepad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac).

Also, the multi-QP log parser (http://www.b4h.net/cabforms/multiqplogparser.php) that extracts and scores QSOs for the 4 QSO parties from a single log for posting to 3830scores.com does not recognize multi-county QSOs with spaces between each county. You'll need to use the corrected version of your log (slashed counties) for it to properly calculate the scores for the 4 QPs.
