[ILQSO] N3FJP logging software and ILQP

[w9dp at w9dp.us]

Hi Dennis,

Yes, but the file it creates is not exactly like most other programs and requires more work by the log checker before it can be entered into our Master QSO File and requires more attention on the part of the log checker before it can be entered into our Master QSO File. It is not a big problem and there are not many Writelog users. I used Writelog for a few years myself and that is how I found out the Cabrillo file it created was not exactly the same as N3FJP, N1MM and others. N1MM was a problem for a while as well but they made a change that helped out with log checking. It may be Writelog has fixed the issue as well.

I believe the problem was Writelog handled multi county QSO's as a single QSO with multiple multipliers but our log checking set up requires an individual entry of each county.

 Writelog is super simple to make the Cab file. 2 steps.

 Joe, the last I heard, N9JF was very happy with the Cabrillo output from the N3FJP logging software. As far as I remember Writelog was one that generated a Cabrillo file that required a good bit of extra work, most other logging software that specifically covers the ILQP was pretty good.
I am sure N9JF will chime in if I am off base.
