Louisiana QSO Party
Bobby Baker
Scott, we have recently started using checking software when checking LAQP logs and in the cabrillo file N3FJP creates the contest name is "LAQP" is there a way to change that to say"LA-QSO-PARTY". This is the contest name it wants to see. Would be a great help as at the present time i have to go into each log and correct it before we can run the log.
Thanks Bobby Baker WM5H

Upcoming RTTY Roundup - using Ham Radio Deluxe
Ed Proctor
Just a reminder that the W4ELP Lookup program with bridge for N3FJP loggers is ready to go for the ARRL RTTY Roundup in January. Recent improvements have made operation smoother and more reliable for users of older HRD version 5.24. Also included are changes to maintain compatibility with the latest HRD V6.7. This program allows any N3FJP logger, including AC Log, to be used in real time with Ham Radio Deluxe DM780 digital software of with HRD Logbook. It is free and can be downloaded at https://groups.io/g/W4ELP.
If you anticipate using this, please download early and practice well before the contest! 73, Ed - W4ELP

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your e-mail. There have been no changes to the hot keys for the CW form. As always, Ctrl + W displays the CW setup form and Ctrl + Shift + W displays the mini form.
Enjoy! 73, Scott

Re: Logging question
You will probably receive NILs for those Qs as they will submit using the
call that they sent. ALWAYS log the call you hear. You just need to
hit enter a second time to log those calls.

Re: Logging question
Scott Davis
Hi Robert,
Thanks for your e-mail. If you read the dialogue carefully, it alerts you that there isn't a numerical value in the 2nd or 3rd character, but it also tells you just to press enter to log the QSO anyway. Just press enter again and you are all set.
Enjoy! 73, Scott

Re: Log too big?
Jerry W1IE
There could be significant improvement in the redesign of the Access table. Right now, Scott has only one table which is very flat (in other words, it holds all the data and the data is all ASCII) so if it was designed in at least the 2nd Norm, things would start to move faster. You can help move things along by adding some indexes on some of the tables, such as the callsign field.

There are other things that could be done. Best regards, Jerry, W1IE

Re: Log too big?
Many thanks to all for the comments.
The computer is an i5 at 3GHz. RAM is a puny 8GB. I may have a suitable memory card in another computer I no longer use. I'll pop that in and see if there's a difference. But, keeping the display list to 50 works for me. 73, dale, kg5u

Re: Log too big?
I’m with you Don……especially staying with ACLog

From: N3FJPSoftwareUsers@groups.io <N3FJPSoftwareUsers@groups.io> On Behalf Of Don N4KC
Well, I have a fairly fast Win10 machine with plenty of RAM, yet when I switch from "Last 50" to "All" it takes 13 seconds to display the data. I have about 24,000 records in ACLog. I can see how this would delay showing that your FT8 QSO had been successfully logged. Obviously, ACLog has to do a lot of work each time a change is made, including logging a new contact, when you are displaying that many records.

Re: Winkeyer Emulator and RemoteRig RRC Query
Scott Davis
Hi Dennis,
Thanks for your follow up. To change the Winkey settings in the software, click Settings > Transmit > CW. Then click the Winkeyer button on the form that appears, but I doubt you need to change anything from defaults as Winkeyer isn't rig dependent..
Again, if you have your radio configured for keyer instead of straight key, it will not work. You must have Winkeyer plugged into your straight key jack.
Good luck!
73, Scott

Good morning.
There is more to it than just the volume of records. Amount of memory, amount of FREE memory, processor and speed, and what other programs running in the background can all make a huge difference.
One ”FREE” thing you can do to speed it up is this. Open your task manager and see what-all you have running. Look to see what processes might be monopolizing your processor cycles, or reserving your memory. Turn off those things you don’t need.
Look at my QRZ profile-photo of the operating desk. That is an older Win-7 (64 bit) I got from an SK sale. It isn’t anything special. The only thing I did was double the memory and clean out all the programs it wouldn’t need. All I use it for is logging and digital work. Sure, a nice new Win-10 box would be nicer. But this works, and I see no need to spend $$$$ for a replacement.
If I have to upgrade it from Win-7 to Win-10, it may suffer and need to be replaced once Win-7 is no longer supported. We’ll see.
Give it a look. Best of luck!

I'd say you have three choices: 1) As KD5KC (great suffix, Mike!) suggests above, invest in the fastest machine you can and stop all processes you don't need so as to save RAM, or 2) Accept that it will take ten to fifteen seconds for WSJT-X to confirm that you have successfully logged the FT8 QSO, or 3) Keep ACLog on ""Last 50" and do the database housekeeping when you are not logging contacts. Note that I did not suggest trying other logging programs. I suspect you'd see similar behavior with most (if not all) and, more importantly, there are none as good as ACLog...in my humble opinion. 73, Don N4KC www.donkeith.com www.n4kc.com

"I notice when logging FT8 QSOs in ACL from JTAlert/WSJT-X, that it takes 18 seconds for the QSO line entry to appear after clicking on OK in the J/W log pop-up window. I have 27k log entries. " Have you closed and restarted ACLog recently? I have a very similar number of entries in my log and the response from the program (and JTAlert) is almost instantaneous -- as long as ACLog has not been running too long. If it has been running for multiple days with lots of entries being added, it gets very slow and has the same issues that you mentioned. Scott may know what causes this -- buffers fill up, temporary files get too large, some obscure Windows problem, an issue within JTAlert? -- the reason is unknown to me, but it happens consistently and is easily remedied. It is certainly not an inherent or unavoidable problem resulting from 27,000 records, which is not a large number for an Access database. 73, Steve AA8SW
