Hi All,
Thanks so much for your reports on ACLog Beta version 2.5 so far. I really appreciate it. Here are the reports that I have received so far and their status:
Bug #1: Ed, KG4QMI (and others) reported: "When you click on a record and bring up the edit, et al options, the LoTW and eqsl upload buttons overlap and almost completely cover the cancel button." Bug #1 Status: This bug occurred when users brought over settings from the previous version. I corrected (I think) the problem and uploaded ACLog 2.5 again approximately 6:00 PM Eastern. If you downloaded the file before that time and are experiencing the command button problem please e-mail me directly as snkdavis@... and I'll send you a replacement file that should solve the problem.
Bug #2: Ed, KG4QMI also reported: "As far as LoTW, seems ok. downloaded 30 contacts and put L's in the S confirmed and R confirmed fields of all but three entires. not sure why it
didn't do those three. The actual d/l went smoothly.""
Bug #2 Status: I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. So far, all confirmations are being marked correctly here and I can't duplicate the problem. Here are the conditions that must be met for a contact to be updated in your log:
- The Calls must match (obviously)
- The Band Fields must match
- The Date and Time On Fields must be valid dates in your log
- The Date and Time On Fields downloaded from LoTW must not vary more than 15 minutes from what is reflected in your log
Additional reports on this will be much appreciated. If you find that there is a record not being updated, please check the record for the above information and let me know.
Bug #3: Tucker, W8EMX reports " When Running the Worked-all calculations, the only fields that are populated with actual data are the Grid and Grid(6) fields. All others
show a count to the right of the label, but have no actual data."
Bug #3 Status: Has anyone else experienced this problem? Tucker, does 2.4 show the data properly? The only changes I made to the awards screen was the 6 digit grid box. No other code was changed. Tucker, would you please e-mail your log directly to snkdavis@....
Bug #3A: Mike, W5UC Reports: "I move my 2.4 file over into 2.5, and it does not indicate any Zones. What did I do wrong?"
Bug #3A Status: I'm not sure if this is related to the above or not. Mike, are the zones not appearing in your log at all or is the problem on the awards screen? I haven't received any other reports of data loss when upgrading.
Bug #4: Dave, N6PZ Reports: "Looking at the CQ zones, zone 8 sorts as a different zone than zone 08, etc. There are only 40 CQ zones. I show having confirmed 46 of them."
Bug #4 Status: This is not new to version 2.5. What I need to do is add error checking to zones that are entered (from either ACLog or the contesting programs) to ensure that a two digit character is added. That is on the enhancement list.
So, that is where we are so far. Please continue testing the program and let me know what else comes to light. Again, thanks so much for checking out the software. I really appreciate it.

Hi Ed,
Good, thanks for the update. Changing the allowed time window is easy and it looks like it will be a good way to go, but I'm not clear as to why the time doesn't match exactly.
For example, you and I make a contact. I log it as 11:10 and you log it as 11:15. We both upload our logs to LoTW. Since the times are within 30 minutes LoTW show confirmations for the QSO.
If I understand how LoTW is working (and I'm not at all sure that I do), the contact time that you uploaded will continue to say 11:15 in your LoTW database and 11:10 in my LoTW database. Theoretically, the contacts you download from LoTW will have the exact same time as originally uploaded and there shouldn't be any variance at all.
Again, making the change is no problem but I would like to have a better understanding of what is happening.

Scott,
Dave may have hit on what happened. When I d/l the LoTW log, I wound up with 1 new entry in my log. It was a duplicate of another entry. I can't swear to it but there was almost certainly a difference in time, probably even more than the 30 min. allowed by LoTW. The new entry was marked with "L" in the S/R confirmed by columns and the original was ignored. So, here's the question. How does ACL handle that situation? If ACL does not find a match in my log under the criteria set forth, will it actually insert that as a new entry in my log? It would appear so. If it does, thats not necessarily a problem, I just need to make a few mental notes each time I do a d/l.

In reference to Bug #2 Status...
Just a thought:
according to the LotW rules at https://www.arrl.org/lotw/faq#datamatch, the QSO's must match within a 30 minute time period, rather than ACL's 15 minutes. Might it be wise to make ACL the same as LotW?

Good Morning:
Scott, I reported the problem incorrectly. I was unaware that V2.4
was also supposed to show the CQ, ITU etc Zones. I believed that
this was a new thing in 2.5. SO, neither 2.4 nor 2.5 are
calculating the zones or showing them. OR, am I confused in
thinking that the software would automatically determine the Zones based
on Prefix?

Hi Mike, Good deal, thanks for the update. To have ACLog 2.5 add the zones to your log click Edit, Fill Fields Determined by Call. Keep in mind that only discrete entities will be filled. For example, the USA has multiple zones so they will not be included. 73, Scott N3FJP http://www.n3fjp.com/Serving the Amateur Radio Community with contesting and general logging software since 1997.
