[WriteLog] WriteLog

[Steve Woodruff]

Hi Guys,

Yep… aware of the issue.  In fact, Wayne and I are both here in Texas as well, but neither of us operate mobile or on county lines. At least I don’t.   :)   

With that said, I’m still up to speed on the issue.  When I wrote the ILQP module I allowed the op to declare themselves in up to 4 counties at once and the entry window has 4 recvd fields for logging up to 4 counties in a single Q.  The generated cabrillo file is a mess and the ILQP sponsors are stuck parsing that out from a single entry into multiple.  Its painful for them, but their pain = our WriteLog users’ gain.  

I’m discussing with Wayne to see if there is a better way we can do this…  but that’s no guarantee that it’ll be easy to accomplish or even possible.  Stay tuned.

Hi WriteLog,

For the Texas QSO Party In-State, we need to be able to log multi county (2,3,or 4) with an entry for each county, meaning each one has to be on a separate line for rovers. Each contact according to the rules requires a separate contact for each county, and people who do not follow this rule have already been penalized for not doing that.

 

Other software like CQ/X and NA does allow for this, but I prefer WriteLog because of its ease of use for most things, but switching between counties for each contact seems an impossible task in WriteLog.

 

Many of us here in Texas would like to continue to use WriteLog, but will no longer be able to use it with this restraint for rover operation on a county line, 3 county line, or 4 county line continues.

 

Please help.
