[WT-support] Single-band entries with other-band QSOs

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

I agree with Bob that when you select the CONTEST.
 
Maybe when you select a category that allows you a single band entry, a
prompt to select the band you will want to send the log for, BUT allows you
to work stations in the other bands, and the send as check log (all in the
same cabrillo file

This would be right if Win-Test was generating a Cabrillo 2.0 header, but it
is generating Cabrillo 3.0.  So you need to edit the Cabrillo file to change
the line that says:

CATEGORY-BAND: ALL

to 

CATEGORY-BAND: 40M

or similar, and leave the other lines alone.

I do think the Cabrillo options page in Win-Test needs an update.  Instead
of "excluding" bands from the Cabrillo file, there should be a way of saying
"Mark this log single-band 40m, but include all QSOs."  Now we know both CQ
WW and CQ WPX want it this way.  See http://www.cqwpx.com/blog/ point 4.

Today, the exclude feature doesn't even work as expected if you exclude all
but one band.  It still still marks the log "ALL" band.  I also tried
importing a Cabrillo file that was 40m only, then re-exported it, but then
it marked the log single-band 15?  There are very strange bugs in this area
of the code.

I asked the CQWW log checker for advice on this.

For the CQWW, use Win-Test to make a Cabrillo file as an all-band entry.

Open the Cabrillo file with your text editor and change the CATEGORY
to one of the names in the list below), but leave ALL the QSOs in the
log.

CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 160M HIGH
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 80M HIGH
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 40M HIGH
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 20M HIGH
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 15M HIGH
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 10M HIGH
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP ALL LOW
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 160M LOW
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 80M LOW
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 40M LOW
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 20M LOW
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 15M LOW
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 10M LOW
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP ALL QRP
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 160M QRP
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 80M QRP
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 40M QRP
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 20M QRP
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 15M QRP
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP 10M QRP
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP-ASSISTED ALL
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP-ASSISTED 160M
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP-ASSISTED 80M
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP-ASSISTED 40M
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP-ASSISTED 20M
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP-ASSISTED 15M
CATEGORY: SINGLE-OP-ASSISTED 10M

Send in the log by email, and the CQWW log checking software will
compute your score as a single-band entry, and will improve the
log-checking process by cross-checking the QSOs on the other bands for
the stations that worked you. If you remove the "other-bands" QSOs,
all those other station will lose credit for their QSO with you, which
is undesirable.
