[Trlog] Contests with Time Periods - How to manage?

[Juhan Põldvere]

Hi Ville,

I have used reminders in ESOPEN, and then manual ctrl-K:

REMINDER = 0600 ON ALL ALARM
NEW PERIOD. PRESS CTRL-K AND ANSWER "YES"   (NB! "YES", NOT "Y"!)
REMINDER = 0700 ON ALL ALARM
NEW PERIOD. PRESS CTRL-K AND ANSWER "YES"   (NB! "YES", NOT "Y"!)
REMINDER = 0800 ON ALL ALARM
NEW PERIOD. PRESS CTRL-K AND ANSWER "YES"   (NB! "YES", NOT "Y"!)
REMINDER = 0900 ON ALL ALARM
TNX. PLEASE MAIL YOUR LOG --> esopen at erau.ee

There is a sample ESOPEN cfg file at
http://www.lhv.ee/images/files/esopen.zip
(Not changed since 2004, though, so the initial exchange misses many 
new calls, sri)

> Many contests have time periods, during which QSOs can be repeated with stations already worked in the previous period(s).
> Several OH-contests, ES-Open Contest, and SM-manadtest are split in periods, just to mention a few.
> Typically, stations can be worked once each hour.
