Re: AC Log Calldata Out of Date?
Bert W0RSB
If you're so inclined, you can make your own up-to-date callbook every Sunday.
You'll need a copy of FCC document pa_ddef51, ULS Data File Formats, in order to make sense of the data you download. https://www.fcc.gov/files/paddef51pdf Start by downloading the raw call data from the FCC: I use "wget" like this: wget --no-check-certificate --verbose --progress=bar -4 -N ftp://wirelessftp.fcc.gov/pub/uls/complete/l_amat.zip (The FCC database is updated every week, on Sunday.) Then extract the two pieces of the database that you need in order to extract only the current, active calls, EN.DAT and HD.DAT: unzip -o -C l_amat.zip EN.DAT HD.DAT The file EN.DAT has a list of all ham calls, even those that are not currently active. The file EN.DAT has all the name, address, and other data needed to make a useful callbook. Just remember that not all the entries are for active calls. EN.DAT also has a "Unique System Identifier" in field 2 for each call which you'll use to find the entry with the status data in HD.DAT. The file HD.DAT has the same list of calls without the personal data, but has a status code that you use to determine if the call is currently active. In HD.DAT, if the field 6 "License status" has the alphabetic status "A" then the call is currently active. In HD.DAT, the "Unique System Identifier" is also in field 2. If you have database software available, you can create tables with HD.DAT and EN.DAT data, extract the active call entries, which you can then use to produce a result containing only the active files in whatever format you need. My simple-minded brute-force approach is to first extract all entries from HD.DAT that have a "License Status" field of "A", saving only the "Unique System Identifier" in a C# Hashtable. I then pass through the EN.DAT table. If the "Unique System Identifier" matches one I saved when I devoured the HD.DAT table, I know that the call is active. If all you want is a simple list of all currently active calls, just copy the fields from each line in EN.DAT that's marked as active and format the parts that you want. If you want to split all the calls in a format that you can feed to ACLOG, you have a bit more massaging and formatting to do. There are probably typos, misspellings, and confusion between HD.DAT and EN.DAT in this post, but I think you can make your way through the mistakes. Have fun! -- Bert - W0RSB Saint Paul, MN

Record Number are in reverse
Lahra "Flip" Svare KT9X <kt9x@...>
I imported my logs, but the "record numbers" are backwards. So Record Number 1 is the very last entry, instead of one from years ago. How do I fix this?

Re: Rig Control for Kenwood TS-590
I've been following this thread with interest as my TS-590SG developed similar symptoms this week. I've noticed that many posts here and on the WSJTX group seem to be centered on the ports being reconfigured. I kept an eye out expecting a Windows update to mess it up and sure enough I got mine this week.
I wrote down all my settings when I first got it working and so it was a simple check to see the settings changed. But my first initial check showed the radio wasn't even being seen by the computer. Probably due to my also using the computer for video conferencing for work. Completely separate audio (and video) streams and hardware but it seems WSJTX went back to default rather than the specific sound devices. Anyway, I had to go back into the radio menus to set the baud rate, no idea how those changed....don't forget this radio requires the power to be cycled after port changes as the port is always active even when off! The main takeaways are: write down your working settings and remember to cycle the radio power when changing port settings. Larry N8QNM

Re: AC Log Calldata Out of Date?
WA7WS
I had an interesting experience in my POTA activation yesterday. I'm BRAND NEW to this software and it was my first time using it.
I made about ten different contacts with the same person (once on each of 10 different bands) and the output from whatever the database used was weird. I typed in his call sign.. and up pops two different names.. One was in CO and one in ID. The one in CO was incorrect. The one in ID has had his call for at least a few years. What database is used? When I type his call into QRZ.. everything looks correct.. but in ACLog.. it gets this dual problem.. It's only happened this one time I had a similar issue with a 2nd contact where this ham replied to my QRZ and, of course, a name and address popped up. But it was incorrect information. Curious how frequent this happens.. What database is used for the contact data? My N3FJP download took place about a week ago.

Re: WSJT-X
Bill Grover
An easier way once setup is to go to HamApps.com and download JTAlert. Once installed does it not only assist in alerting you to contacts you want in FT8 and FT4 but interfaces WSJT-X to ACLog in real time. Once properly connected
when your QSO ends a pop up appears with the logging info. Clicking the log button will add the contact into ACLog.
You can run the components on different computers. I have WSJT-X and JTAlert on one computer and ACLog on a different computer.

Re: Rig Control for Kenwood TS-590
Hi Ken: Thanks for your response. As I happily reported earlier the issue was, indeed, baudrate differences, which have been matched and the function is working as expected. (Those pesky com ports, indeed!) 73, Jim
