Hi All;

I maybe missed the point, but I really wonder what you guys are doing to even think about running out of Group numbers.

I don't understand anyone's need really to group by year or by contest; since you would still need to do a search operation (F8) to filter by Group. You might as well do a search by date in that case.   I use Groups in my main log to differentiate from G3NKC and G3NKC/P, and I think I set up GQ3NKC - so call sign variants.

For my GD contest operations, I currently hold separate logs for GD0EMG, MD6V, and MD4K; even though I have been thinking about the merits of merging those logs (might be nice to see a complete DXCC achievement, for instance); but I often think these would be outweighed by the overhead when doing the QSLling chores (when someone requests a card, I normally QSL all QSO's with our particular contest call. I might end up selecting QSL's for all call's; meaning I have 3 labels that would have to go on 3 cards). ON balance I think those logs will stay separate.

Hi Bill,
I'm not sure how you allocate your group numbers. I started giving a number to every contest, IE CQ WPX CW,2005,2006,2007 ETC and could see I would fast run out of numbers. On a suggestion from a local user I now only have one number for each contest and use the same number each year. Its a simple matter to filter by year or mode as and when you require. This has reduced my groups considerably.

Cheers

Group numbers is a nice feature and I use it a lot. I just wish we were allowed more than 254 group numbers. At my present rate I will have all 254 numbers used by CQ WPX CW this year. When that happens I will have to look at other options to accomplish this or look at different software that will do what I want.

What about using group numbers - assign a different group to each imported log?
