- Changed 'MSG is Loc' to be user selected. Right mouse click opens popup
from where the NewQSO column to copy the srx_string can be changed.
This may be useful if contest form is used for special activites where
another message than locator is exchanged (like State, for example)
- In case of 'MSG is Grid' Added locator validate warning (red) if number of
characteters is odd and locator validate check before it is coped to NewQSO/Grid
- In case of 'MSG is State' and a German callsign is detected copying goes to DarcDOC
- In case of dupe check and dupe found with 'MSG is Comment' the word "Dupe" is added to comment
- Small modification anchoring of right side buttons of Contest form.
- Fixed help files
- Fix by Thomas, SM0KBD, issue #472 to EDI Export is included

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.

<a name=co1><h2><strong>Contest support</strong></h2></a>
|
|
<p>You will find contest selection from <b>NewQSO/Window</b> dropdown menu.
|
|
<br><br>When contest window is open <b>NewQSO</b> has contest exchange fields visible. You may have to stretch <b>NewQSO </b> window horizontally to see them.
|
|
<br>You <b>do not</b> normally need <b>NewQSO</b> window during contest. Only need for <b>NewQSO</b> is in case you have to edit an already worked qso.
|
|
<br> Select qso normally via <b>QSO list</b> and press <b>edit QSO button</b> and you are able to edit qso, also the contest message part of it.
|
|
<br><br><b>NewQSO</b> is not meant to be used during contest qso feeds. <b>All new qsos are entered via contest window.</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<p align="center">
|
|
<img src="img/contest.png">
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>RECOMMENDATION:</b> Make new log for each contest, consider not to allow qrz/hamqth search, it may slow down qso feed.
|
|
<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 <b>NewQSO</b> to make qso logging faster when working in contests.
|
|
With <b>Tru</b> and <b>Msg is Loc</b> setting it is useful also in VHF, UHF, SHF Tropo, Es etc. openings for fast qso
|
|
logging. Perhaps also in some other operations like WWFF activations.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
Contest window has a simple dupe check that turns typed duplicate callsign bold red printed. If you save a duplicate qso it is marked as "Dupe" in "Comment to qso" field.
|
|
<br>To get this working properly you must <b>either</b> create a new log for every contest <b>or</b> set dupe start date (I.E. contest starting day) with button <b>"from YYYY-MM-DD"</b>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>HOTKEYS</b> work like with <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 in order</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>
|
|
<li><b>Dupe check</b> Default checked.
|
|
<li><b>from YY-MM-DD</b> Button to set duplicate check start date (I.E. contest start date). Must be set if you have all qsos in same log.
|
|
<br>If every contest has it's own log can be as default (1900-01-01). Button is not visible if <b>Ignore dupes</b> is set.
|
|
<li><b>NoMode4Dupe</b> Means that same callsign can be worked again on same band if mode is different.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><b>Ignore dupes</b> Do not check duplicate qsos at all.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li><b>RST s</b> copied from NewQSO, so should correspond used mode. Can be changed.
|
|
<br><b> Note:</b> defaults to 599 (as NewQSO) If mode is not CW it will change after cursor leaves callsign column. So do not worry when working non-cw contest!</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.
|
|
<br><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.
|
|
<br><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 Grid</b> If '<b>MSG is ...</b>' is checked then message will be logged in <i> SRX_String </i><b>AND ALSO</b> to <i>selected NewQSO column</i>.
|
|
<br><br> By default <b>Msg is Grid</b>. It can be changed with right mouse click on the text.
|
|
If <b>checked</b> then input will turn red if character count is odd. Maximum of 6 characters locator can be entered.
|
|
<br>If <b>MSG is Grid</b> but the entered locator is <b>not valid</b> it will <b>NOT</b> be copied to <i>NewQSO/Grid column</i> and stays only in <i>Srx_String</i>.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>In case of <b>MSG is State</b> and callsign is detected by prefix to be a Germany callsign srx_string is copied to <b>DarcDOC</b> column, orherwise to <b>State</b> column.
|
|
<br>In case of <b>MSG is Comment</b> and dupe checking is allowed, and dupe found, Comment to QSO contains first "Dupe " and then the copied message.</li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li><b>Save QSO</b> Save QSO button at NewQSO, increments NR and clears all fields.
|
|
<br><b> Note:</b> pressing <b>ENTER at any time</b> after Call field is filled does the same.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Clear QSO</b> Clear all QSO information.
|
|
<br><b> Note:</b> Pressing 2x ESC key does the same.</li>
|
|
<br><li><b>Clear all</b> Clear all fields. Usefull when starting a new contest to remove saved settings.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<br>
|
|
All settings, including contest name, are saved when closing contest form. When opening cqrlog and contest form again after rest period you can directly continue contest working.
|
|
|
|
</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>.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
<b>CW macros</b> can be used for sending contest meessages. Look them from help section <a href="h26.html">CW Operation</a>

Most contests expect <b>Cabrillo</b> log format. Cqrlog has a limited support of Cabrillo exports. Mostly enough for a Sunday contester.
|
|
<br>In case you want to use external Cabrillo program you have to make ADIF export of qsos</b>
|
|
and then use another program.</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.
