[ILQSO] LOG ISSUES

[millerd18 at yahoo.com]

Good advice.

Writelog lists our "exchange sent" as "HAML WHIT SALI G, 

Being that cabrillo is a text file, I will ad to the "G", "ALL", to complete Gallatin county.

NOTE TO THOSE SUBMITTING LOGS:

I've seen a couple of issues with various logging programs that I don't remember seeing before:

IL stations:
Some programs are showing your "exchange sent" as "IL", not your county.  The only way I can deal with this is to check someone else's log and see what you sent.  Please look at your Cabrillo file and see if it shows the county you sent!

All stations:
Some programs are truncating the exchange received from multiple county stations.  Instead of showing "CHAM/DOUG/EDGR/VERM", I am seeing only "CHAM/DOUG/E".  It's hard to give credit for all four counties if it's not in the log, even if I 'know what it's supposed to be'.....  Again, please eyeball your log!

Thanks, 73, Jim N9JF
