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 meant to be a tool for "Sunday contesters working in Tourist Class". Do not expect wonders!
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
Form Contest 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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>HOTKEYS</b> works like in <a href="h20.html">New QSO window</a>. 2xESC clears all fileds, F1..F10 send CW macros etc.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Form Contest has following fields:<br>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>Call</b> when you leave this field callsign is moved to NewQSO, to see if you have qso before.</li>
|
|
<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 change true reports. Useful in some high band contests and Es and tropo openings.</li>
|
|
<li><b>NR s</b> serial number to send. If <b>Inc</b> is checked it will auto increment. You may change this number at any time. Increment goes on from typed number.</li>
|
|
<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>RST r</b> copied from NewQSO, so should correspond used mode. Can be changed.</li>
|
|
<li><b>NR r</b> serial number you receive. No if no serial number then setting this changes tab order so that it jumps directly to MSG r from Call (and after that NR r). Note: you can feed only numbers to NR r field.</li>
|
|
<li><b>MSG r</b> message you receive, if <b>MSG is LOC</b> is checked then message will be placed <b>ONLY</b> to NewQSO/Grid field <b>NOT</b> to received rst field</li>
|
|
<li><b>Save QSO</b> Save QSO button at NewQSO, increments NR and clears fields.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Clear all</b> Clear all fields and prepare to enter new QSO</li>
|
|
<li><b>SPACE is TAB</b> when checked space bar acts like TAB-key moving to next field.
|
|
Note! This prevents typing space (mainly to MSG fields).</li>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
TAB-key moves cursor between fields. So contest qso goes like this:
|
|
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 ENTER key at any field saves qso with existing values. How ever there must be
|
|
callsign at least three characters long. Sent/Received number and message are not needed.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Contest numbers and messages are saved in log into RST fields separated by spaces like. 599 001 MSG
|
|
This has two benefits:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> CW macros work without any programming change. If you set “send RST”-macro it sends also contest
|
|
number and message, and when not in contest it sends just RST.
|
|
How ever a small modification to original is made. If you use %rs for RST it will send 5NN. Now
|
|
modified version sends also T for zero. So you will have 599 001 like 5NN TT1.</li>
|
|
<li> Backup of logs work without any change. RST field just are a bit longer</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
ADIF export is modified so that it separates RST fields to right tags.<br><br>
|
|
<RST_SENT:3>599<STX:3>001<br>
|
|
<RST_RCVD:3>599<SRX:3>002<br>
|
|
<RST_SENT:3>599<STX:3>003<STX_STRING:2>SA<br>
|
|
<RST_RCVD:3>599<SRX:3>003<SRX_STRING:2>dd<br>
|
|
<RST_SENT:3>599<STX:3>002<STX_STRING:2>SA<br>
|
|
<RST_RCVD:3>599<SRX:3>003<SRX_STRING:2>kb<br>
|
|
<RST_SENT:3>599<STX:3>001<STX_STRING:2>SA<br>
|
|
<RST_RCVD:3>599<SRX:3>002<SRX_STRING:2>SB<br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
HTML export will look like this:<br>

</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Most contests expect Cabrillo log format. There is no support for this. You have to make ADIF export of qsos
|
|
and then use separate program if you want to send logs.</p><p>
|
|
I found nice adif2cabrillo program for Linux from <a href="http://users.telenet.be/on4qz/" target="_blank">http://users.telenet.be/on4qz/</a> that supports ADIF importing.
|
|
Starting is bit complicated: you have to have qt5 and (qmake-qt5 if your distro is Fedora) to be able to compile
|
|
it.</p><p>
|
|
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.
