[WriteLog] The FIX -- Error Message ?!?

[Don Hill AA5AU]

This fix works but it might be somewhat involved.  Bernd DC3HB has come up with
an easier fix which didn't work for me at first, but he sent me a blank file to
use and that one worked.  So I am waiting on permission from him to upload this
blank OK file to rttycontesting.com to be used to create the Cabrillo file from
WriteLog.

I am working on instructions with screen shots using both methods and hope to
have it finished today, if not tomorrow.  I do have a question as to whether or
not the OK contest manager will accept Cabrillo logs since it is not mentioned
in the rules.

I'll post the announcement of the instruction pages here and the RTTY reflector
when they are completed.

73, Don

Thanks to Tim, N9LF for helping me (and others) avoid a migraine! This fix works
fine.

As some have already noted, there seems to be a program bug that prevents the
creation of the Cabrillo log.  I'm running 10.55D and found the same issue.
There are now doubt several ways to work around the problem, but here is what I
believe is quickest:

1) Note your OK-DX score.
2) Export your OK-DX log in ADIF format.
3) Close Writelog.
4) Open Writelog and start a new contest.  Select CQWW-RTTY.
5) On the File menu, select Import. Choose the OK-DX ADIF file.
6) On the File menu, select Export, Cabrillo (enter Zone & QTH).
7) Close Writelog.
8) Edit the saved Cabrillo log with a text editor and make the following
changes:
   a)  Edit the header to show the correct contest and claimed score and any
other pertinent data.
   b) Change each QSO record to remove the QTH info (most text editors can do
this in one step).

You should now have a valid Cabrillo log.
