The easiest thing to do is to bcc the following email address: logs at supercheckpartial.com ...when you submit your log to the sponsor?s robot after each contest. Please DO NOT send ADIF files, your LOGGER database file, 3830 postings... just CABRILLO! :-) You can send more than one log attachment in a single email BUT PLEASE DON?T SEND THEM IN A ZIP file! If you want to check the version of the SCP files you are using, look for a call beginning with ?VER2". Every SCP file includes the version number in the list of calls in the format VERYYYYMMDD. The next release of the database will be at the beginning of August 2019. Any requested changes or deletions of callsigns received by NOON PDT on August 1st, 2019 will be included in that release. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SEND ADD/CHANGE MESSAGES WITHOUT ATTACHED LOGS OTHERWISE I PROBABLY WON?T SEE YOUR REQUEST due to the email processing robot. IMPORTANT: Before sending an add/change message, please check the LATEST version of the SCP database to see whether your requested change (especially add requests) is unnecessary because the call is already present. Please let me know if you find any bad calls in the files. Thanks again to all the contributors!

I was operating only on CW, not Mixed mode (CW and SSB) in this contest therefore obviously clicking only in the CW frequencies on 160. NOTE: All of the other bands 80 through 10 meters worked perfectly clicking on the CW spots from the Reverse Beacon Network. The rig stayed on CW on those bands. For another reference, I just tested putting a frequency, say 1835, in the Entry Window itself and it does the same thing. The rig goes to LSB instead of CW. However, if I click the box to the left of the Entry Window it opens to the settings for Logging / Duping. Putting a frequency, say 1825 on CW in that particular window and the rig goes to CW like it should. Go back to the Entry Window and put in a 160 meter frequency it will go to LSB not CW ! Clicking on a 160 spot in the Band Map will also make it go to LSB not CW. Why is only 160 meters having this issue? Again, this is only the IARU HF contest "module" doing this and only on 160 meters. Yes, I also tried a few other modules (such as the one for the CWT's) and 160 CW works perfectly.

There are some things I do, because back when I learned how to get writelog to do what I wanted it to do - and not get burned or lose things - those things just seemed to work. It's almost like a ritual or incantation. One of these things is save configuration. When setting up for a contest I bet I do a save configuration 100 times. Every time I set a parameter or enable something it's: Save File Setup choose Save Configuration click OK. ...because I don't want to lose what I have done and start over. I have questions. 1. Why is save configuration still a tedious three click task? Why isn't it a one click button like file save? 2. I'm going to guess the answer. It's because save configuration is actually something you almost never have to do so why make a button for it. Right? 3.

After doing dozens of 3 click save configurations for NAQP, I finally decided to ask why it isn't a single click on the button bar. There must be some logical explanation. Maybe stuff auto saves now? I mean, the button bar has things you do maybe twice at most per contest like open rttyrite and export cabrillo. Why not save configuration? Unless it really doesn't do anything anymore? Or maybe we just don't want to mess with the ritual.

I do a lot of save configuration because I operate different modes and sometimes I want bandmaps or cluster info and sometimes not. The one that really gets me now is the number of mouse manipulations it takes to change CW/RTTY messages. You select from menu, get pulldown, then one more select. This is something I always seem to be doing when in a hurry so I mis-click. ?

Save Configuration saves all parameters that are in the ini file. Those parameters apply to all contests. If, for example, you change your Port assignments, you have to do a Save Configuration for the changes to be in effect next time you run WL. The File...Save command saves the .wl contest log file. It contains all the contest-specific parameters, like which windows are open, whether they're docked or undocked, the exchange parameters and format, the CW/SSB messages, etc., and of course the log entries, notes and so-forth. Whie the window statuses (which one are open, docked/undocked) are in the .wl file, the position and sizes of the windows are in the ini file. I'm not sure exactly how WL deals with window statuses when you open a new log from the startup window. It appears to use the window statuses from the previous contest, but I don't know if it opens that contest file to get them or if they're saved in the ini file and then overridden when you load an existing contest file. And I think you have to do a Save Configuration to save the window statuses from the current contest in order for them to be used when you open a new contest file from the startup window. I think that's the way it works because I can see a flash of the previous layout before the layout from the contest file takes effect, and WL they previous layout isn't necessarily the last contest file I had open. Anyway, I'd prefer to see the all window status and display parameters stored in the contest file so I can tailor the look for each contest. I *think* most of the settings under Setup... Document Settings are in the .wl contest file, which most if not all of the Setup... Writelog Options settings are in the ini file and apply to all contests. It would be nice to have a list of exactly which settings are saved with Save Configuration and File...Save, but I can't find one in the Help file. You can make one by pulling down all the menus and checking each command for a corresponding entry in the ini file, with those that are not in the ini file being contest-specific. There are also parameters that are never saved and have to be reconfigured when you restart WL, like the current CW speeds, which radio logs the QSO, etc. 73, Dick WC1M -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Stai Sent: Saturday, July 20, 2019 1:11 AM To: Writelog Reflector Subject: [WriteLog] save configuration I've been using writelog since the turn of the century I think. There are some things I do, because back when I learned how to get writelog to do what I wanted it to do - and not get burned or lose things - those things just seemed to work. It's almost like a ritual or incantation. One of these things is save configuration. When setting up for a contest I bet I do a save configuration 100 times. Every time I set a parameter or enable something it's: Save File Setup choose Save Configuration click OK. ...because I don't want to lose what I have done and start over. I have questions. 1. Why is save configuration still a tedious three click task? Why isn't it a one click button like file save? 2. I'm going to guess the answer.

But in the Tools menu there is a Recover Window Layout that you can do, and you can recover from any other .wl file. So if all that is really stored in the .ini how could you recover positions and sizes from older logs? :) By the way, that's become one of my favorite WL commands! I sat down yesterday in the multi-user space that I contest in, started a new log, and the Entry window was missing! So your supposition about the previous contest for new logs may be right. To be fair, the docs do say: "Tools Recover Window Layout - When you do a File Save, WriteLog saves its current window layout in the .WL file. Use this command to recover just the window layout." Hopefully someone who knows the nuts and bolts will weigh in.

Here are the circumstances: 1. For years I operated WL maximized with all windows docked, except Check Call, which was undocked and positioned above the Entry windows. 2. Recently I decided to reduce the size of the main log window and undock all the other windows, positioning them below and to the side of the log window. I saved my 2019 IARU log with that format. 3. When I open my 2018 IARU log, however, the main window is not maximized. It?s the size I used for the 2019 IARU contest. 4. Which windows are open, whether or not they?re docked and (on closer inspection) their positions match what was in the 2018 IARU log. 5. The smaller main window led me to believe that window sizes are not recovered from the .wl file, though the other window parameters are recovered. 6. However, if I maximize the main window, the screen looks exactly as it did in the 2018 IARU contest ? window dock/undock status, size and position included. My conclusion now is that WL does not recover the maximized/minimized status of the main log window. It may also ignore that parameter for sub-windows, but I haven?t tested that. 73, Dick WC1M From: Jeff Stai Sent: Sunday, July 21, 2019 1:20 PM To: Dick Green WC1M Cc: Writelog Reflector Subject: Re: [WriteLog] save configuration On Sat, Jul 20, 2019 at 12:36 PM Dick Green WC1M > wrote: While the window statuses (which one are open, docked/undocked) are in the .wl file, the position and sizes of the windows are in the ini file. hi Dick - I appreciate that everyone is posting what they believe happens.

Message-ID: I know Writelog can send Elecraft K3 CAT commands, for example, in WRITELOG.INI: [Elecraft_K3_commands] Macro_10=KY CQP N6EE; could then send "CQP N6EE" in CW on the K3 when I use %GK10 in a function key. But is there a way to send DYNAMICALLY GENERATED text, such as the %C,(the call in the Entry window) or %3 (3 digit serial number)? In N1MM+ you can do this with something like: F2 Exch, {CATA1ASC KY {EXCH};} Thanks and 73, Ron N6EE From support at writelog.com Thu Jul 25 17:07:49 2019 From: support at writelog.com (Wayne) Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2019 21:07:49 +0000 Subject: [WriteLog] DigiRite FT4: was: SEQ and MULT count with DigiRite in CQ WW VHF contest Message-ID: <3719a9f0-7403-a27d-5f8a-324aafe380f5@writelog.com> > I could not use FT4 either. After selecting it, the setting was not > retained. How is the mode changed? The current public DigiRite version is 1.1.10, which has FT4 support disabled because, at the time it was published, wsjtx was at 2.1.rc7 which had FT4 turned off by this date. There will be an update to DigiRite before the WW Digi contest with FT4 support turned back on and based on wsjtx-2.1. Maybe even soon.

I am planning to release a new version of the Super Check Partial database files on August 2nd, 2019. I am requesting your logs for input to the database files. Please send your logs for this release by noon PDT August 1st, 2019. If you would like to contribute your CABRILLO format logs for the SCP database, please send them at any time to: logs at supercheckpartial.com You can send more than one log attachment in a single email BUT PLEASE DON?T SEND THEM IN A ZIP file! Please DO NOT SEND ADIF encoded logs? Please DO NOT SEND your N1MM+ database files... Please DO NOT SEND your 3830 score submission emails... If there is a new contesting call sign you want added to the database for activity in the next few months, let me know before the next update cutoff time. Please send your requests for adds/deletions etc. in an email to logs at supercheckpartial.com WITHOUT ANY ATTACHED logs otherwise the email robot will process the logs automatically and your request will not be seen. However... note that the monthly SCP database gets about 1500 downloads per month. This suggests that the majority of contesters are using an old version of the database probably between 12-18 months out of date. As a result, there is little utility in adding a call that you intend to use in only one or two contests. At any time, please attach in an email the same Cabrillo format log that you submitted to the contest sponsor and send it to logs at supercheckpartial.com I have all logs submitted since the last release of the database files on July 2nd, 2019 and today - If you have already sent me your logs, there is no reason to send them again. Logs from any contest within the last 24 months are always appreciated. Some of the more commonly submitted logs are from: CQ WW DX - CW, Phone, RTTY CQ WPX - CW, Phone, RTTY CQ 160M - CW, Phone ARRL DX - CW, Phone ARRL Sweepstakes - CW, Phone ARRL RTTY Roundup ARRL 10M ARRL 160M IARU Radiosport Russian DX Contest Worked All Europe - CW, Phone, RTTY NOTE: NAQP logs are particularly under-represented in the log pool as are other contests where the manager now requires submission via a web form. Logs from these contests are especially requested! More info on SCP at: http://www.supercheckpartial.com Thanks for your help! Stu K6TU
