Contest QSO history in Main Logging Window

Unread post by K9QJS »

When I am researching old QSOs in the Main Logging WIndow, it is helpful to know if a QSO in my log was done during a contest and, if so, what the contest exchanges were for that contest. Is there a way to do that?

You have Import the contest QSOs into your logbook. At this point you will loose the exchange information. Never heard that somebody want to know this.

Tom - Thanks for the reply! When I get QSL card requests in the mail, I like to be able to reference the contest that I may have worked them during. I have also, for good or bad, used the contest fields for the US National Parks on the Air program prior to my starting to use RumLogNG and that was how I kept track of what NPOTA units I had thought I had worked. That's not a correct use of those fields, I know. Also, I imported all my previous QSOs into RumLogNG when I started to use it a few months ago and, though infrequently, I have looked back to see what contests I had worked. Thanks again for your work on RumLogNG. 73, Hoop K9QJS

You could set one user field to <contest_id>. When importing a contest file, this field will be filled with the contest name automatically.
