[WriteLog] Locust QSO Party

[Eric Hilding]

Jim, KC4HW, inquired:

 

>Is the Locust QSO Party supported in the latest 10.65c???

 

Oooops, just saw your post this morning.  The LQP was last night (TNX for
participating, Jim).

 

The answer is no, since the LQP is a new and constantly evolving annual QSO
party aimed at creating a more levelized playing field event for Little
Pistol Contest Station operators.

 

This year's LQP shifted to a hybrid NAQP and NA/NCCC NS Sprint (but without
serial numbers) type format.

 

I was using WL 10.61E which I reinstalled (with fingers crossed) about 2
hours before the LQP started due to some issues.  Using the NAQP CW log
format in WL, I simply used two different F-Keys for the two distinctly
different Sprint exchange formats:

 

1.  One F-Key for the CQ Mode exchange

2.  One F-Key for the S&P Mode exchange

 

In the CQ Mode, pressing ENTER at the end sent the 'R' acknowledgment and
logged the QSO.  In the S&P mode, this required a hard-entry using CTRL +
ENTER.  No big deal after using this approach with WL in the NCCC NS
Thursday Night events for several years.

 

73.
