[DXLog.net - Support] Fwd: Problems with your 2013 ARRL 10M Log

[JOSE ANTONIO MENDEZ]

After using your program DXLOG forwarded me this email a possible problem
with the program, telling me to report to the software programmers DXLOG.

I hope the problem is fixed.

Thanks ... EA9CD 73

Jose,

I am the log checker for the ARRL 10M Contest, and I wanted to tell you
about a major problem with the EA9CD log that you submitted.  It appears to
be a problem with the DXLog.net v2.0.11 logging software that you used.

Here are the first five QSOs from your EA9CD.LOG file:

QSO: 28000 PH 2013-12-14 0759 EA9CD         59  1000 S547NAW       59  010
QSO: 28000 PH 2013-12-14 0800 EA9CD         59  2000 OK2BYW        59  005
QSO: 28000 PH 2013-12-14 0800 EA9CD         59  3000 SP1FPG        59  024
QSO: 28000 PH 2013-12-14 0803 EA9CD         59  4000 HC9PD         59  008
QSO: 28000 PH 2013-12-14 0803 EA9CD         59  5000 IW8RRH        59  003
                                                ^^^^
Please notice the sent QSO numbers (marked with ^^^^).  For your first five
QSOs, these should be 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0005, not 1000, 2000, 3000,
4000, 5000!!

All of the sent QSO numbers in your log have extra zeros at the end,
instead of the beginning.  Here are the last five QSOs from your log:

QSO: 28000 PH 2013-12-15 1644 EA9CD         59  7540 I3GBN         59  005
QSO: 28000 PH 2013-12-15 1645 EA9CD         59  7550 KC4TVZ        59  GA
QSO: 28000 PH 2013-12-15 1646 EA9CD         59  7560 XE2K          59  BAC
QSO: 28000 PH 2013-12-15 1959 EA9CD         59  7570 CE1DY         59  590
QSO: 28000 PH 2013-12-15 2002 EA9CD         59  7580 PY8WW         59  575
                                                ^^^^
Again, the sent QSO numbers are 7540, 7550, 7560, 7570, 7580 instead of
0754, 0755, 0756, 0757, 0758or even 754, 755, 756, 757, 758.

I have corrected your log with a text editor so your entry is OK for the
2013 ARRL 10M contest and nothing needs to be done by you.  But I wanted to
inform you of the problem in the event that you use this software again.
 You should inform the software author about this problem.

73,

Dave Pruett, K8CC
