Good afternoon!
New to the group here.  Thanks in advance for your suggestions and guidance.
I'm confident this has been previously addressed, but I'm wondering, what is the best way to use N3FJP for this weekend's FT8/FT4 Contest?
Thanks again.

When using ACLog  for Sat contacts do you log the TX Freq and TX Mode or the RX Freq and RX Mode?  I want to be able to have ACLog upload to LOTW and have them posted correctly and accepted.

 

Thanks,

For me it is a three step process. Check my current program version under Help > About; check the latest version on the web site; download new version if necessary.

Or if it is a contest program: IF (day before contest) = YES THEN (download new version). There are always updates.

Thanks for the information. It's helpful to fully understand what may happen.

I have done some experimenting, checking the box and not back dating. Now, each time I download, it says Update or Updated and Confirmed on all QSO/QSL every time. I checked the data on LoTW and it appears those fields match in both places. Why would it say "Updated" when there's nothing to update?

I do keep all of the software on my SSD, and change the file name to the new version when I upgrade.   If you don’t want to keep the software, you could still leave the folder there so you would know what the version is.

Re: Question for Scott

I tend to agree with George, and Steve.

 

If I download the installer for ACLog, I usually end up with this.

Any Idea which one is which ? Me either, unless I re-name them after download. This make it more difficult to keep archived versions in case the “New” one doesn’t work.

 

My approach so far has been to change the names after download to keep things straight, that way I always have the option to see exactly what I do have, without taking the time to re-download.

 

 

Your milage and disk space may vary, but this has been my approach.

Scott,

I think what George is asking for (and I do the same thing) would be to include the version in the filename (for example ACLog6.7, FIELDDAY6.2). Don't know how much extra work that would be.

That makes it a simple task to compare the downloaded version with that listed on the website as I don't always download a new version if the contest is still some time away, but always check right before I get set up for it.
