//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------// Version 4.00 (1998 Rules) of WR9R's Field Day Logger.... - DIGITAL Mode was added, separate from CW - 12 and 17 Meter Bands are now excluded. //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------// Version 3.xx upgrades in general... - More accurate CW "Fist" in background transmit - Contains extended summary sheet generation to reduce the Field Day Site Coordinators work. - Class 'D' operators can now use the program effectively. Zero point scoring is now supported for the 'D' to 'D' QSOs. - The 'Extras' Menu has been reduced in size to reduce the confusion. - The entire log can now be accessed and edited while in the logging system reducing the need for external word processing work. Previously only the last 10 were accessible. - On-line help. - ARRL Section abbreviation list window. - Dupe sheet generation is now included. - 2 and 6 Meter Bands are now included. //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------// Version 2.xx upgrades in general... - Addition of background CW keying. - QSOs per hour statistics. - Fixed CW summary calculation bug...(oops!) - Allow for 3 character exchanges (i.e. 17A). - Color changes to improve visibility on some laptops. - Number of calls only limited by memory - Now a typical number of QSOs allowed is more than 9,000. //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------// Notes on upgrading to 2.00 and up... Several changes have been made since V1.03. If you wish to test the new program with past logs a couple of things will have to be done to the logs before loading them. 1) The QSO number was expanded to 5 places so a leading '0' will have to be added to the QSO number on every line. 2) If you we're running V1.03, the number of transmitters was increased to two places so a leading space or digit will have to be added to that field. The logger is a disk based system that uses a fixed length record for the sake of speed as well as reducing the risk of lost data in a power outage. Adding information, or removing some, will cause problems for the system when pulling in the data. My suggestions are: 1) Be careful... 2) Use a backup of the file when editing. I have received many wonderful suggestions on program improvements and have read and considered every one. I have implemented quite a few (when I had time to do so). I will do what I can to continue to make the system as useful as possible without creating a complex system that's too hard to operate at 2:00 AM during an 80 Meter pile-up. //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------// Have FUN with Field Day because that's the important part! de WR9R (Larry) .... 73! sk
