[LOGic] QSL Printing... Looking for ideas...

[Brian Smithson]

I'm back to LOGic after about ten years trying to get re-aquainted. Since
then, I've used a home-brew logging app but don't have time to maintain it
anymore. QSLing is important to me but I have to admit to not having studied
the procedures in LOGic yet. What if you need to send a card to a manager
via the buro? That would mean the 'via' field as the manager's call, and one
of Mel's suggestions for 'B' for 'request' would be good?

I also think the sorting is important. Is this possible?

Thanks so much! 73,

When I need to send a buro card to a contact I type in the word "buro" in
the via field and then Logic knows that it belongs to the buro. I make sure
that there is NO ADDRESS in the address area also. I think it has to be
spelled "buro" too.

I won't comment on the other inquires because I would have to have done it
myself, I guess, or at least tried it myself to make an intelligent
suggestion to you.

Anyway, maybe I helped a little??

Finally decided to catch up on my bureau printing... (4 years overdue so
cards will in the thousands) And Logic seems to be missing some things one
would need to do it efficiently...

1. There has to be a way to indicate the QSL method. X,R,F isn't sufficient.
One would need at least the following... B - Bureau, D - Direct, S - QSL
service. Perhaps a separate field that defaults as indicated in item 3.

2. There needs to be a way to sort cards such that QSL manager cards are in
the correct sequence for managers... The card should be sorted depending on
the Bureau of the manager. I'm not sure how to do this.

3. If I accomplish item 1, I need a way to default to B if there is an ARRL
bureau and D if not.. I'm not sure how this can be done...

What I want to do is print Bureau cards sorted correctly for the QSL
bureau... Which is an issue for the USA because the call areas need to be
together... Same in Canada... VE2,VA2,CF2 before VA3,VE3,CF3 and only print
Bureau cards. Then print Direct cards by DXCC. And if one were using a QSL
service, they also should be sorted appropriately.

Does any of this make sense? Can it be done with a user field or does the
program need changes? Ors is there a method I haven't discovered yet?

Thanks
Mel...
