Re: IARU HF contest
Scott Davis
Hi Al,
Thanks for your e-mail. IARU stations are one point, but if you originally entered them with the numerical zone, then the raw score had 5 points assigned (QSO points are assigned on entry). If you then edited the QSO for the alphabetic identifier, but did not edit the points, that would be the most likely cause.
Enjoy! 73, Scott

the weekend contest and noticed that it indicated that I had made 113
contacts for 303 QSO points, and with 44 multipliers gave a total score
of 13332.
When I submitted my log to ARRL, it indicated 113 contacts for 293 QSO

Could the software not be counting QSO points per contact correctly in
some cases?

Re: Log Contact Button + 2
Scott Davis
Hi Art,
Thanks for your e-mail. Responses are inserted:
1. Is there a way to increase the size of the "bearing" and "miles" fonts fo those features?
** Yes: Settings > Appearance > Colors and fonts (make sure you are running a current version of AC Log).
2. Is there a way to increase the size and change the color of the LOG CONTACT button?
** Sorry, no.
3. The COUNTY field does not automatically populate from QRZ. Is that normal or is there a way to to turn that on? Thank you!
** All data that arrives from QRZ is added. Make sure you only have one data source enabled.
Enjoy!

Re: IARU HQ station Points
kg4wyagi
Tim, looking at the rules, looks like 1 point is
correct for HQ stations.

7.1. Contacts within your own ITU zone, as well as QSOs with any IARU-member society HQ station or IARU official (counting as the special multiplier), count one point each. Ed KG4W

Scott,
Yes, that’s what I am referring to. Please, in the next update, provide a choice of either vertical or horizontal. Depending on one’s layout, having a choice would be helpful.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your e-mail. The software is correct, HQ stations are only one point. You will find the complete rules here:

I finished this weekend's ARRL IARU contest with a handful of "HQ" stations near the end. Later I noticed that the points for the "HQ" stations contacted only reflect 1 point (in most cases) as if it was mistakenly considered a non DX contact.
It seems that the log entries that have correct points (example Rec 57 above) were the ones where I actually entered/saved the contact first with the default ITU number (by mistake). Then, I corrected the entry with the initials that the HQ station gave (Rec 57 ITUz corrected to "EDR" after it was saved as ITUz 18). Else, I entered most HQ stations with the initials given for ITUz (which then incorrectly assigned only one point)...
Question: Bug? Feature? and Do I just submit, knowing my Score Statistics are incorrect, but it will be calculated correctly apon UL/processing by ARRL...(?)
Should my work-around be to enter/save with default ITUz and go back (in real time) correct all these? - If my understanding is off on this, enlighten please.
Thank you Scott and all for the software!
I'm fairly new to this particular contest, it was a surprise to be able to contact more HQ stations (than last year) w/o crazy pileup...
PS - 5 days left to submit logs...

Re: IARU Contest log
Scott Davis
Hi Jimmy,
Thanks for your follow up. I'm sorry that you are still having trouble. The rig interface code in all my software is identical and everything has been working fine here all day. From a working contest program, while polling your rig, click the Save Settings button under the rig list at the lower left. Start the IARU software and click the load settings button. That should do the trick.
If that does not correct the problem, please let us know what rig you are interfacing and send a long a screen shot of your settings.
Enjoy!
