[WT-support] Log merging from other applications

[John A. Ross [GM1BSG]]

Thanks very much for the quick response, that’s kind of what I thought.

 

I can upload individual logs no problems and do a big merge when the event is over.

 

Not sure why but the WT-2-Clublog updater seems to be glitching so that will be an investigation for tomorrow, the QSO count never seems to go up.

 

I also have one WT station setup just for display, the QSO count in the statistics window seems to be way behind the QSO number on the log window when using Display>Overall (all qsos) but again that is another mystery as the actual QSO’s seem to be getting replicated perfectly so no log or network issues.

 

Thanks again Bob, its all new for us so thanks for your patience.

 

John

Importing a DXpedition log from 3rd party software into Win-Test may indeed be more trouble than it is worth, because there is no "Cabrillo" format for a DXPedition log.  The same limitation may exist for the other type of log format that Win-Test can import:  EDITEST (http://hrvhf.net/upload/edi_reg1test.pdf).

 

Yes you could import a CQ WW format Cabrillo log into Win-Test, one mode at a time, one file at a time, then change the Win-Test "contest" from from CQ WW to DXpedition format, then do some File | Merge operations on the .WT4 files.

 

To see what type of Cabrillo format Win-Test expects for importing, ask Win-Test to create a Cabrillo file from a dummy log, and look at the output.  You cannot create a Cabrillo file for a DXpedition log.

 

Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to export all logs from all software into ADIF format, then use a program that can import ADIF and export to Clublog.

Hi all.

We are currently using WT in DX-PED mode for a SES station (GA14CG)

Is there a best practice for merging logs ? I have 2 external applications which I would like to merge into the existing WT log if possible.

Currently WT is running across 4+1 stations with the +1 being the station doing the automatic uploads to ClubLog (which runs very well).

WT is running in DX-PED mode, so I am unsure which Cabrillo template would be required to be loaded.

If it was CQWW or a known contest I can supply the correct Cabrillo format in field.

But what headers does WT expect in DX-PED mode ? Simple exchange only and headers ?

>From the station running mixed mode digital, does WT know more than just PH/CW/RY as modes ?

Thanks in advance for any tips, it would be greatly appreciated.

If it is not possible or more trouble than its worth, that is OK as well, I can do the Clublog updates etc manually.

Cheers
