A problem that we have seen in past years has resurfaced again this year.
The problem exists with Cabrillo files submitted by some stations located in
Illinois. The problem is specific to Cabrillo files generated with the N1MM
logger. The problem files are coming in with 'IL' shown as the 'QTH sent'
for each QSO in the file instead of the actual Illinois county or counties
from which the operation took place.

If you operated from Illinois in the 2014 ILQP and used the N1MM Logger and
HAVE NOT yet submitted your log file to Jim, N9JF, please check the Cabrillo
file for this problem before sending your log to him.  If you find that this
problem exists in your file, please correct before submitting it.

For those Illinois stations who used N1MM and have already submitted your
2014 ILQP log; I will contact you by email if I find the problem in the
Cabrillo file you sent.  Please DO NOT resubmit your log unless specifically
ask you to do so.  We are inspecting each log for this issue (among several)
as the logs are transferred into our master log file.  Since this process
takes time it may be another week or so before your log is inspected, so
please stand by. 

Thanks, Mike NA9Q

Message-ID: <SNT406-EAS401F14C6FAE1069E64D09AF9B980@phx.gbl>

Hope this can help someone with there log. I used N1MM for my logging from three county corners. Not sure if I could have found a way to set it up correctly be for operating. I never did get it to put anything other than IL in for the exchange through out my log. I could have went through my entire log and edited each line. There was to many contacts to be doing this. So I looked for a way I could edit a text document faster. I found that notepad++ would allow me to edit columns of information in a text document. I just highlight the entire column that I want to edit and delete information and start typing in my three counties (ex. ADAM/HANC/SCHY). To edit in column mode in this program you have to look in the drop down menus in the program. Also can do a Google search about editing in column mode in Notepad++. Hope this helps somebody.

Now if someone could write some information on setting up for portable operations using N1MM + (the new version). I seen a write up on getting multi counties to show up in the header of the program. This would only work if you set the program up for operating mobile or rover. Now, I don't know if it will put all the counties in for the exchange in the cabrillo file. I tried to get N1MM to do this after the fact with no luck. Just importing the old file back in and trying to set the contest up for rover does not seem to work. I did the shortcut keys needed to enter multiple counties. The counties appeared above in the program, but when I generated the cabrillo file they did not show up. If I would have done this before the contest it might have worked. I might test this out soon. I know this is for rover and portable. One could just edit the text in the cabrillo file to read portable after generated. Maybe a mobile or rover station could shine some light on this idea. That or someone that has experience with N1MM and being portable multi counties could help. There has to be a way to set this all up before the contest.

If you are in the same position as I was and need a quick edit of your cabrillo file. I suggest using the notepad++. Will save you a lot of time in editing. 73

Just for what it's worth, Writelog handles the "from" and "to" multiple counties in ILQP perfectly.     I use N1MM for the INQP since it allows us to also log the different NEQP and 7QP exchange formats at the same time.     Different logging programs have their strengths and weaknesses, but for ILQP, Writelog seems to fit our needs the best.

Another editor that is great is Notetab Light. A great free editor.
N1MM+ worked fine for me for a fixed station when logging multiple counties. When originally setting up the contest, the fixed station needs to put their county (GRUN for me) in the exchange.

We never had any issue with the earlier version of N1MM when operating from a multi-county corner but you do have to make use you use the IL QSO Party template and put all the counties you are operating from in the initial setup file, then it puts all the information on the Cabrillo file. I suspect you could simply go back into N1MM and edit the setup file, rescore and spit out the Cabrillo file and it will be correct then. Not sure about N1MM+ as I did not use it yet.

Writelog has a lot of features tailored for ILQP but the Cabrillo file it spits out has to be massaged a good bit to pull all the multipliers out, instead of each multiplier being listed as a separate QSO, it has one QSO line entry and all of the multipliers in one filed, tough for the logcheckers to easily pull out.

I seen a write up on getting multi counties to show up in the header of the program. This would only work if you set the program up for operating mobile or rover. Now, I don't know if it will put all the counties in for the exchange in the cabrillo file. I tried to get N1MM to do this after the fact with no luck. Just importing the old file back in and trying to set the contest up for rover does not seem to work. I did the shortcut keys needed to enter multiple counties. The counties appeared above in the program, but when I generated the cabrillo file they did not show up. If I would have done this before the contest it might have worked. I might test this out soon. I know this is for rover and portable. One could just edit the text in the cabrillo file to read portable after generated. Maybe a mobile or rover station could shine some light on this idea. That or someone that has experience with N1MM and being portable multi counties could help. There has to be a way to set this all up before the contest.

?I checked my log, and it reads "HNDR/M" when it should read
"HNDR/MCDN/WARR?". I edited and changed it, would you like me to resubmit
it?

Jim,
Quick question on.
Forgot to run my ic-746 on 2m fm and since the Flex was working right and the ILQP had already started I decided to just paper log 2m fl qso's, next I entered the 2m contacts into a second writelog log, then I Merged both logs.
The resulting merge threw the 2m qso's at the top of the log. Is this normal or would you rather I set them in the correct time slot within the log?
I will gladly do that, not a problem just give me the scoop how it should be.
Thanks,

If any doubt about N1MM+, export the ADI file, and import it back into 
the regular N1MM (wha they now call "classic.")  I NEVER use a program 
until I see a version 2.x and often I wait until there's a Version 3.x 
or larger.  There are ALWAYS glitches in the early versions.

This is no denigration of the N1MM+ effort, just the facts of life of 
programming.

I suspect you could simply go back into N1MM and edit the setup file, rescore and spit out the Cabrillo file and it will be correct then. Not sure about N1MM+ as I did not use it yet.

I use N1MM for the INQP since it allows us to also log the different NEQP and 7QP exchange formats at the same time.     Different logging programs have their strengths and weaknesses, but for ILQP, Writelog seems to fit our needs the best.

I have posted to the page announcing the 2104 ILQP, an EXCEL spreadsheet template which can be used to manually create a Cabrillo style log. Use this template to convert a handwritten log to a digital log which may then be emailed. Note the 'QSO:' which must be in cell A of each line of the QSO records. Also note that 'END-OF-LOG:' must appear in cell A of the next line following the last QSO record. In the template you will notice a small red triangle in the cells of the first line of QSO records. Placing the cursor over each of those cells will bring up the details of the information to be entered in that cell of each QSO record (line). 

Here is the link to the template: http://www.w9awe.org/Sample_Excel_Log.xlsx 

Once the form is populated, you may send it to Jim, N9JF at jfunk at fossna.com or n9jf at arrl.net .

November 19 is just a few days away and with it the deadline for submitting
logs for the 2014 Illinois QSO Party.  Logs sent by US Mail must be
postmarked by midnight on that date.  Logs submitted electronically via
email must be received by Jim, N9JF, by midnight on the 19th as well.  

 

By US Mail:      WIARC

                           PO Box 3132

                           Quincy, IL 62305

 

By email:          n9jf at arrl.net 

 

If you have yet to submit your log, please review the log for errors prior
to submitting.  Thus far we have received a number of logs from Illinois
based stations that show IL as the QTH for each QSO exchange that was sent
by that station.  If you operated from Illinois, the QTH must be the county
name or county abbreviation for each county you operated from.

The final list of logs received in the 2014 ILQP has been posted to the
WIARC webpage.  You may view the list at:  

http://www.w9awe.org/ILQP%202014%20Logs.html

For those Illinois stations who listed a club affiliation in the Illinois
club competition, that affiliation is shown in the list.  Please check to
make sure your affiliation is indicated correctly.  Many non-Illinois
entrants listed a club affiliation as well and those affiliations are also
shown although there is no club competition for non-Illinois stations.

If you find an error in the listing of your affiliation or do not see your
call sign listed, please send an email to Jim, N9JF at n9jf at arrl.net.
Include the date of submission and method used to send your entry.

Thanks to all who participated in this years' ILQP, your support is very
much appreciated.
