- changed version number to 2.5.0 in main help page. - changed OH7AN to OK2CQR in all help pages as understood from your web pages "OK2CQR is back" that you returned to your old callsign. - went through https://github.com/ok2cqr/cqrlog/commits/master and added some lines to CHANGELOG. I'm still sure that not all things are in the list. Perhaps it would be good idea to add a changelog line as the first line of pull request text. Then it would be easier to collect them afterwards. This is not complete list. I would be happy to see more additions or fixes to current CHANGELOG also from others!

Backup your data often! BACKUP your log directory at the end of EVERY session!
|
|
All that you need to backup and store in a safe place is the log database directory
|
|
located in the ~/.config/cqrlog/database folder, or you can enable the autobackup function
|
|
in Preferences. This autobackup function creates an ADIF file with a backup of your log.

<b>RECOMMENDATION:</b> Make new log for each contest, do not allow qrz/hamqth search. It slows things.
|
|
<b>Note:</b> This is <b>NOT</b> a contest logging add-on!!! It is a contest-notepad.
|
|
It is meant to be a tool for "Sunday contesters working in Tourist Class". Do not expect wonders!
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
Contest window is just a "child form" for NewQSO to make qso logging faster when working in contests.
|
|
With Tru and Msg is Loc setting it is useful also in VHF, UHF, SHF Tropo, Es etc. openings for fast qso
|
|
logging.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
Contest window has a simple dupe check (same call in same mode and band) that turns typed duplicate callsign bold red printed.
|
|
<br>To get this working properly you must either create a new log for every contest or set "preferences/fldigi/wsjt interface/
|
|
<b>WB4 check starts from/call Date</b>" and check the <b>"call" checkbox</b>. See : <a href="h1.html#ch2b">Quick start: wsjt-x interface</a> Remember to uncheck "call" checkbox after contest is over.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>HOTKEYS</b> work like in <a href="h20.html">New QSO window</a>.
|
|
<ul><li> <b>2x ESC</b> clears all fileds</li>
|
|
<li>Note: <b>1x ESC</b> returns cursor back to Call-field (if cursor is in some of the other fields like RSTr) and places cursor at the end of callsign for possible repairs.<br>
|
|
It also halts CW memory output if it is just running.</li>
|
|
<li> <b> F1..F10 </b>send CW macros etc.</li>
|
|
<li> <b>TAB-key</b> moves cursor between fields. (may also be SPACE key, if set) </li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Contest window has following fields and checkboxes:<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>Tab All</b> when checked overrides all other Tab settings (below) and Tab Order is Call-RSTs-NRs-MSGs-RSTr-NRr-MSGr-SaveQSO-ClearAll</li>
|
|
<li><b>Call</b> when you leave this field callsign is moved to NewQSO. Callsign turns BOLD RED if it is duplicate.</li>
|
|
<li><b>SPACE is TAB</b> when checked space bar acts like TAB-key moving to next field. <b>Note:</b>This prevents typing space (perhaps needed in MSG fields).</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li><b>RST s</b> copied from NewQSO, so should correspond used mode. Can be changed.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Tru</b> means you like to exchange true reports. Makes Tab order to stop at RST (s & r) fields. Useful in some high band contests, Es and tropo openings.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li><b>NR s</b> serial number to send. <b>Note:</b> you can type only numbers to NR s field.</li>
|
|
<li> <b>Inc</b> if checked it will auto increment serial number. You may change this number at any time. Increment goes on from typed number.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li><b>MSG s</b> sometimes you may need an additional message with number, or just a message with no number. On high band contests you may type your locator here.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Qsp</b> if checked makes TAB order stop at MSG s. Content of MSG s is taken from last logged MSG r. Cursor is placed at the end of message for possible edit. For contests where you have circulating message: At 1st qso you set your own word to send, after that you send previously received word as your next own message. </li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li><b>RST r</b> copied from NewQSO, so should correspond used mode. Can be changed.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li><b>NR r</b> serial number you receive. <b>Note:</b> you can type only numbers to NR r field. </li>
|
|
<li><b>No </b> if no serial number then setting this changes tab order so that it jumps directly to MSG r. </li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li><b>MSG r</b> message you receive</li>
|
|
<li> <b>MSG is LOC</b> if checked then message will be logged <b>ALSO</b> as locator grid <b>AND</b> SRX String</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li><b>Save QSO</b> Save QSO button at NewQSO, increments NR and clears all fields. <b>Note:</b> pressing <b>ENTER at any time</b> after Call field is filled does the same.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Clear all</b> Clear all fields. <b>Note:</b> Pressing 2x ESC key does the same.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Typical contest qso goes like this:</b><br>
|
|
Type callsign->press TAB->type contest rxnumber->press TAB->type contest message->press ENTER.
|
|
Or hit ENTER after rxnumber if no additional message is exchanged.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Remember that pressing <b>ENTER</b> key at any field saves qso with existing values. How ever there must be
|
|
callsign of least three characters long. Sent/Received number and message are not needed.
|
|
<br><b>There is no need to use the mouse.</b> Keep your hands on keyboard (and possible on CW key / PTT (if not foot pedal in use)). It is faster.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Contest numbers and messages are saved in log into their own columns. Use <b>preferences/Visible columns</b> to show them in <b>Qso list</b>.
|
|
For editing a qso these columns appear to <b>NewQSO</b> window when <b>contest</b> window is open and NewQso window is streched horizontally (DXCCinfo may override them).
|
|

|
|
CW macros Have some new items. Look them from <a href="h26.html">CW Operation</a>

Most contests expect <b>Cabrillo</b> log format. <b>There is no support for this. You have to make ADIF export of qsos</b>
|
|
and then use separate program if you want to send logs.</p><p>
|
|
</br>
|
|
I found nice <b>adif2cabrillo</b> program for Linux from <a href="http://users.telenet.be/on4qz/a2c/index.html" target="_blank">http://users.telenet.be/on4qz/</a> that supports ADIF importing.
|
|
</p></p>Starting is bit complicated:
|
|
</br>You need to compile it from source. Qt5 with qmake (called qmake-qt5 if your distro is Fedora) is needed to be able to compile
|
|
it.</br>
|
|
Then there are no templates for different contests. You have to create them, but after that it serves you well!
|
|
It accepts nicely exported ADIF format from cqrlog and dig out STX and SRX as expected.
