AC log merge after contest
|
Joe Hoffman
I will be using two different computers with two different radios for the VHF contest this weekend. Each will run it's own copy of AClog contest software. At this point i don't want to network the computers since I have procrastinated too long! After the contest can I just import one of the contest logs into the other and then submit that full log? Will the contacts interleave according to when they were worked or will there be two "chunks" in the log?? Thanks in advance for any help offered. 73, Joe, W8JH

You should be able to merge (import ADIF file from the 2nd computer) the two logs together within the VHF program and then you can sort it so the contacts fall into the correct date/time order. Then you can export that entire ADIF file and merge that with your master log (AC Log) and sort it again if you need to. 73 Mark McLauchlin KN7T

Joe; We plan on doing the same on FD. If I recall right, all we did was down load to a flash drive, and upload on to the other computer. Then we did a “sort on date” and it integrated the files. I didn’t do the process, but I think that is how our “resident geek” did it. Dale K8TS FD Call: W8JXN

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your e-mail. In addition to Mark's good advice, be sure to use the VHF contest software for the contest, not AC Log:
