I have 9K+ contacts logged in Excel.
Excel is working really nice for me in many ways but I really need to graduate to a real database logger.
ALL 9K+ of my contacts are uploaded to QRZ, eQSL, ClubLog and LoTW but what I upload is a subset of that I log in Excel.
I'm attempting to migrate over the ACLog.
I'm aware there is a conversion tool to translate Excel to something ACLog can import but I have no faith it could work right so haven't looked at it (maybe I should).
I believe it won't work because some of my Excel fields don't map very well to ADIF parameters.
I purchased ACLog and have it configured (fields, columns, Other#, etc) they way I want it.
In trying to figure out how to convert over, I have approached it from an ADIF point of view.
I have a list of ADIF fields that I use when logging online, what data I track in Excel that I want to track in ACLog but don't currently log or map to ADIF, and I have enter a short test log in ACLog and exported it to see what ADIF it produces.
Now I'm trying to decide how to manipulate and move the data.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated....

Questions:
1.  When I redefine an Other# field, why does ACLog output is in the export ADIF file twice, once with my new title and once with the old "Other#" name?  Can I get ACLog to quit outputting the "Other#" line?
2.  I'm assuming that when I use an Other# field to log an actual ADIF parameter that I have to name the Other# the exact name (ignoring case) specified in the ADIF spec.  i.e. My_Rig.  Correct?
3.  What are all the parameters in the ACLog-exported ADIF file starting with "N3FJP" for?  Do those get uploaded to LoTW?  Can those be turned off?
4.  A more general question I guess would be, do I have any control what ADIF parameters ACLog exports/uploads?
5.  This is really a broad question... what should I do and consider when I do get the database moved to ACLog as it relates to the fact that the data is already uploaded to eQSL, ClubLog and LoTW?  Will ACLog gracefully deal with that?

Thanks in advance!

I'm in the middle of the 160 SSB contest using the CQ WW 160 Contest Log v5.0.1.  I entered a call that I had worked before and got the "DUPE" warning, which is fine. But I accidentally hit the TAB key and the program put my radio into transmit for a second or two.  Is this normal and if so, why?  I do have Allow Dupes turned off, so I can see the program not allowing me to log the contact but it should keep its hands off my radio.

Hi Larry,

The NAQP SW does all three modes.

Hi Scott and Team
I love the new world map. You guys have the best software.  Is there a way to add the spotting program from POTA to the map. Thanks for everything you do for us hams.
Thanks Lee N4HES

Hi Scott

I do that but still the name field does not become occupied. So I go to QRZ, plug in the call and the name there.

I made a short video for several in our club showing how to set up N3FJP Contest logger for the ARRL International SSB contest.

It is on the Spokane DX YouTube Channel.

If you are new to contesting or simply want a reminder of how to set up N3FJP contest logging, check out the video.

The is a great contest for everyone to pick up some new countries. It is voice, so everyone can do it. N3FJP contest log is very simple to use.

 

You can be totally set up for the contest from scratch in under 20 minutes.

I have corrected the title slide. It now has a new link:

Anyone have any idea what the best N3FJP contest log would be to use for the upcoming European FT8 Club FT4 Contest?

Thanks in advance.

I am no means a IT tech and then I thought abt linking 2 computers to share ACLOG entries.
Will that work ?

What I am trying to do is position PODXS next to my POTA field. But I can't seem to position them side by side. I have deleted QSl send and RCD. I don't need the comments bar on the screen.When I put PODXS on the screen it show up in my logging screen.
Tnx Dave NU4N

I recently turned on the DX Spotting> Speak Detail> checked Needed Spots.   no other DX spotting setup audio alerts are checked.  only one set of audio speakers and ACL was not opened twice....

I noticed that when the DX cluster put up 2 or more spots at the same time the speaking audio mixed both spots together, trying to speak both at the same time. 

Was wondering if anyone one else had this issue and if  there might be a work around?  or did I miss the memo somewhere ?

Version 7.0.3.13 on a HP desktop running window 10 using DX Cluster site

BTW items in BETA world map and working great. Tnc Scott & Co for a great program. Hope future world map will be select-able to open with ACL. 

Tnx & 73

Gabe,

On the main screen click List > QSO with unconfirmed > Countries.

Works well for countries and states.

Ok, thank you so much.

Best 73, Gabe.
