[PaQSO] Electronic Log question - what files?

[Matthew Steger]

There is no CREATE function that I can find in the WB3W software to create these needed log files.  The only thing that I have found is that printing the summary and dupe info will create the needed electronic files.  I don't see a way to create these files without printing them first.  That is what Bob WB3W told me.  I did as he suggested and emailed my log in, so hopefully the organizers received it.

I agree the log file generation process is a little confusing.

Matt, stop a second. You are comparing the W3BW summary with the web  
page summary. They won't necessarily be exactly the same. So this  
could get really confusing really quickly.

Let's see if we can make this a little easier for you here.

WB3W makes a good summary sheet, so you can either use it or ours.

W3BW has a "create" function in one of the menus that will create the  
files you need. As far as I know, it does only cabrillo files, which  
is what we expect. In that section you can do all the files you need,  
log, summary, etc.  and will store them in your W3BW folder somewhere.  
I'm operating from memory here, so some of the words like create could  
be wrong, but the basic concept is that there is a menu item that  
creates the needed files.
