[WriteLog] Writelog Question

[aa5au at bellsouth.net]

It's called "Preset Exchange from ADIF file" and it's located under the Tools menu.  It allows you to import information from an ADIF file, which is normally a previous year's log for that contest.  So in order to have the FOC numbers pre-fill the field in the entry window, the number would have to be found in an ADIF file.

Since I don't know if WriteLog does this for the FOC module or not (I'm at work and don't have WL on this PC).  If it does, you could create a file by opening the FOC module in WL and inputting the callsigns and FOC numbers and logging them, then output the file to ADIF to use as prefill for the next contest.  As you gather new numbers, you could reopen the WL file back up and input more calls and numbers and then output to ADIF again for the next contest.

A tutorial on how to use the "Preset Exchange from ADIF file" feature can be found at:

> There is a feature that allows you to use an ADIF file to "preset" those exchanges that may be known in advance.  This is how all those lightning-fast stations copy your Sweeps exchange faster than you can talk or type.

> I do not have Writelog at hand at the moment so I'm not sure the exact wording, but look under the either the Contest or Setup menus for something like Preset Exchange.
