Progress on Logs

stationright.jpgThis weekend, I spent a decent amount of time on my logs, logging program, and Log of The World stuff. The end objective was to move all of my logging from my desktop computer to my relatively new laptop computer. And, at the same time, move from one logging program to another.Success. There are a few impacts from this:

  • TI QSL's. Since the first part of March, I've had QSL's from my trip to TI coming in and I haven't answered any of them. I knew I wasn't going to use my current logging program for tracking, but I didn't want to send out cards just from the WriteLog log alone as I want to track my replies. (Log of The World for TI went up the weekend after I got home -- the fastest way to get a confirmation).
  • VP9 QSL's. I still have cards to do for the September, 2005, VP9 trip. Just this past Thursday, I received another batch from the great W9 bureau guys to process. I've been sitting on VP9 cards for a bit because of this logging conundrum. The Bermuda logs were also uploaded within a week of getting home as well, so this is still the fastest and best way to get a confirmation.

One of the discoveries I made was that I had not submitted my Log of The World contacts for the NB9C and KA9QVD calls that I have held. I had thought that I had all of them into the database, but it turned out that I only had the K9JY calls uploaded. Most, if not the vast majority, of my DX work was done with the NB9C call, so I wanted to have that up in the database.How did I discover this? Trying to find the ADI files to import into the new logging program!So all of this is now settled: all of my logs are up in Log of The World, all of my log is transitioned to the new logging program, and I'm now set to get moving on the QSL cards, for which people have been patient.Scot
