[ILQSO] more on logs

[Robert Mitchell]

got a note back


Hi. worked IL stations for new counties rather than contest participation. 
if you have a FAX number I would be happy to send log by fax as a check log 
for you. I made no attempt to score it and really don't care about entering 
the contest but happy to send you fax as checklog. Hank  KF2O

I've been encouraged to elaborate on "what makes N3FJP good":

N3FJP does the following:

1) Puts everything in nice columns.  Doesn't offset 599 and 59
differently.
2) Puts county line/corner QSOS on separate lines.

Beyond that, I can cope with about anything :)  The scoring doesn't
matter a lot to me as I rescore every log after checking for dupes and
busts.

We are probably the only group processing logs exactly this way (putting
everything into Excel); I don't know that it's a "good" way, so there is
no reason to expect software writers to modify programs to make our
process easier.  Others probably are getting along just fine with other
output formats.  So...this is not a knock on anyone else's software;
it's just an observation.....
