To all:
I just finished making and doublechecking a Cabrillo formatted
log file from within DXbase -- using the Standard Reports.
I doublechecked the accuracy of the "Claimed Score", etc --
by using 2 other DXbase user's own Writelog file and also
N1MM outputted file. In both cases, the report that I made
came up with the exact same Claimed Score.
So, it looks like we can output a Cabrillo formatted file
straight from within DXbase2006.
I didn't know if I could program the report to give the
proper output with all of the MATH being correct. But, I
was delighted when it checked-out 100% correct.
The current report file is ONLY for DXbase2006 and for
the ARRL 10Meter contest from this past weekend. Other
contests would have to be programmed separately.
But, it really all depends on "what" contests the users
of DXbase2006 would really want to see/use ... and, of course,
this new report and any future reports (for other contests) would
be "keyed" on the DXbase2006 user placing the "exchange info"
(for the other station worked) into the Special-2 column .. When
I programmed the current report, I needed a "stable / fixed" column
of our logbook so that I could always "find" the info that I need
to make the output of the report.
I look for any comments from any 2006 user.. And, of course, I
know that a lot of DXbase users already are using other contesting
s/w programs. So, this effort really is only for those users who
do "not" have the other contest s/w programs.
