[WriteLog] Pa QSO Party

Allan,

WriteLog CAN produce DUPE SHEETS.

Dupe sheets are not required for electronic logs, in most cases. I am under
the impression, however, that PaQP is reviewing logs manually, thus their
requirement for dupe sheets. I played it safe by mailing PaQP the log (ARRL
format), dupe sheet and Summary Sheet that were created by WriteLog
(v10.36G). 

1. To generate the DUPE SHEET:

1.1 From the MENU bar:  File | Export | File version of dupe sheet...

1.2 Be sure to remember where you SAVED the file so you can retrieve it.

1.3 I named my file <WB6BWZ.dup>. It is in ASCII format.

2. To generate the LOG:

2.1 From the MENU bar:  Contest | Save as ARRL format...

2.2 Be sure to remember where you SAVED the file so you can retrieve it.

2.3 The default file name will be <CALLSIGN.LOG>. 

    This is NOT a Cabrillo file. Therefore, a SUMMARY SHEET will (usually)
be required for entry information, e.g., Category/Class, if scoring is NOT
being done by computer.

3. To generate the SUMMARY SHEET if you prefer NOT to use the OFFICIAL ENTRY
FORM <http://www.nittany-arc.org/summary_2002.jpg>:

3.1 From the MENU bar:  Contest | Create Summary Sheet...

3.2 Be sure to remember where you SAVED the file so you can retrieve it
later.

3.2.1 The default file format is *.rtf. 

3.2.2 It is best to select ASCII <*.txt> for most contest submittals.

3.3 I named my file <WB6BWZ.sum>.

3.4 My summary sheet opened automatically in WordPad (WinMe). 

3.4.1 EDIT required information.

3.4.2 The v10.36G shows K3YTL as the Special Events Station. You may change
this to W3FRC (two places, I believe).

3.4.3 The cost for the "Coffee Mug" award must be changed from $8.75 to
$15.00.

3.4.4 The cost for the "Worked All 67 Counties in the Party" must be changed
from $25.00 to $29.00.

3.4.5 At the bottom of the form:

3.4.5.1 "Send to..." should be changed to: PA QSO Party 2002, c/o NARC, P.O.
Box 614, State College, PA 16804-0614.

3.4.5.2 "Deadline for mailing..." should be changed to: November 16, 2002


The above procedure should be verified for correctness by others.

OK - so no email log and no disc log, but they seem to want a dupe sheet.
Writelog doesn't seem to wanna produce one, unless I'm missing something
somewhere.
