Greetings, I am brand new to the N3FJP group. I have two desktop, and one laptop computer in my shack. I purchased the full suite back in 2018, and installed it on one of my desktops. Can I install the software on the other two computers in my shack? went to the FAQ section, and did not find any info on this. Thanks!! WA2JJV

I recently reviewed Scott's sons instructions on using a 3rd party VPN to share the FD log with remote users.  I noticed that Window 10 has a built in VPN, and I was curious if anyone has had success using the Windows 10 VPN and if you have any advice or instructions.  
Thank you,
Ron , KK6I

What I have done in the case where I forgot to enter my power is to find the first record in the contest and enter my power there. If I ever want to refer back I know to look at the first record for the power used. If you change power, log that in the contact that you changed power at. Logging power is only relevant for your personal records. As Scott alluded to LoTW does not even record power, and contest submittals typically determine your power class from the Cabrillo header.

Hi Mark,
LoTW doesn't care about power, so you will be fine.
Regarding the API question, sure, You will have to code up a client to send the command though, so while sending a command is easy via my API, the overhead for what you have in mind is probably not the sensible path.
Enjoy!

Subject: Re: [N3FJPSoftwareUsers] Mass UpdateEasiest way I have found is to use ADIF-Master, a free program that drives much like MS-Excel.  You can do block edits with it.  The nice thing about ADIF-Master is that you are working with a program that won’t let you screw up the formatting. What I mean by that is I hear-tell you can edit an ADIF-file in a text editor like Notepad. But delete one period or comma, get one element length off, and you’ve hosed up your log. ADIF-Master takes care of all that for you. Just to be safe, BACKUP FIRST !!!!! Hope you find this helpful.  If you have ever used Excel, this will be easy for you.  GOOD LUCK ! Mike – KD5KC -- El Paso -- Texas. The canyons are calling, colorful and deep.  But I have promises to keep.

Subject: [N3FJPSoftwareUsers] Mass Update Yesterday I used the RAC log to run the Hamvention QSO Party. It worked great! Thanks. This morning I imported an ADIF file to add those contacts to ACLOG. I see that the Power field was not populated, nor was my custom Rig field. Is there a way I can select all the records from the QP and update those fields en masse? 73,Mark

I have 3K contest QSOs and about 100 'boro' cards to return.

Is there an easy way to select multiple and non-contigous QSOs to export?

Thanks, es 73

With Notepad++, a free utility, you can use the powerful search and replace function to do bulk inserts with a bit of cleverness. Of course ADIF Master works well also but its UI is a bit quirky and you have to poke and play a while to get the hang of it. I have used both, and mostly use ADIF Master unless I have a quick thing to do.

The ADIF spec is online and the format of the fields is actually dead simple to understand.

Of course if you have MS Access you can edit the .mdb file directly. But I have never done this.

It will not count. Use a generator and operate 1E. 73s Jim W7JWT

I was in the FD contest log and noticed that if you will be a 1D station for FD and enter another Delta station you get a message that says “Delta stations do not earn QSO points for working other D stations” Since many stations will be operating D this year, will it not matter. I also have heard that scoring will not take place. That’s a rumor only?
Any input
Thanks

Confirmed Since makes for a little quicker query if you have not uploaded any new contacts since your last All Since.

To add to this, you can click the title bar of the Bnd column to sort by band. Click again to sort ascending or descending.

Hi Lawton,
In addition to the other great answers, you can type the country name in the country field and then tab from that field to list the previous contacts and see the status.
Enjoy!
