[Ham-Mac] Fldigi Tip for Logging the new PJ QSO's

[Dick Kriss]

If your like me you have been trying to get the new PJ2 to PJ7 calls in
the log for CW, Phone and RTTY.  I have been logging them as work em in
fldigi and will export to my master logging program later.

One word of caution is to watch the QSO time. I type or select the call
and have it entered in the QSO box while I try to work them.  The hard
one from my QTH was the PJ2T (Curacao) and by the time I finally got him
and logged the QSO more than 30 minutes had passed. I then had to open the
Logbook and manually edit the QSO On time to something closer to the OFF
logged time. 

The reason for this is the ARRL tqsl.app ignores the logged ADIF TIME_OFF
and converts TIME_ON to QSO_TIME used by the LoTW system.  Since my logged
QSO TIME_ON was more than 30 minutes from when I really worked and logged
the PJ2T, it could have been an orphaned busted QSO in the LoTW system.

What I should have done (and the point of this tip) was to hover over the
"On" above the QSO time and mouse on it. This cool hover and mouse feature
of fldigi updates the time. Try it sometime and it will become your friend.

Have fun working the new PJ's.
