Configuration

Contest configuration

File:DXL ContestConfig.png 

 * Callsign - The Callsign which will be used during the contest
 * Grid square - your Maidenhead gridsquare (6 letters) which will be used in VHF/UHF/SHF contests for QRB calculations
 * Exchange - contest specific exchange field
 * DXCC prefix - your DXCC standard prefix
 * WAZ zone - your CQ zone number
 * ITU zone - your ITU zone number
 * State/Province/Other - your US state, Canadian province or DX
 * Name - The name which will be inserted in the final Cabrillo file
 * Address - The address which will be inserted in the final Cabrillo file
 * Club - The name of your club for club competitions


 After pressing enter (or mouse click on OK button) all fields are checked against contest rules defined in contest config file.

 If any fields contain incorrect data, DXLog.net will supply a warning with instructions on how to correct the data, 
 It may also show possible links to the contest rules (if link is defined in contest config file).
