Postcontest mode

Text command: POSTCONTEST and NOPOSTCONTEST

This menu option activates postcontest mode.
In this mode, it is possible to enter QSO time manually.
It is intended for entering QSO's from paper logs, post contest.
Initially, the date of first QSO is equal to current date.
User can change this with Edit QSO Date, Time option, and all QSO's
entered in log after this will be logged on that date.

Shortcut: [Ctrl][Z]
This option will undo any changes made in current edited previously logged QSO.

Initialize QSO

Shortcut: [F11] or [Alt][W]
This option will erase all the fields in the focused entry row.

Edit QSO Date, Time

Shortcut: [Alt][F]
Allows you to edit QSO date and time on previously logged QSO.
In postcontest mode, you can set the date on current QSO which will be used for all QSO's logged afterwards.
Of course, in the log, you can change it to another date later if needed.

Edit serial number

This menu item is only visible if the current contest use a serial number as part of the exchange.

It allows you to change:

• the sent serial number of an already logged QSO
• the state of DXLog's built-in serial number counter
• the sate of a local number server

The sent serial number of an already logged QSO can be modified either by tabbing to the
Nr column and simply editing the number of by positioning the cursor on the QSO line in
the log and chose the Edit|Edit serial number menu item.

NB: If such an edit action results in the serial number displayed in the entry line
being lower than the highest sent number in the log, executing the RELOADNOW command
will refresh the log and set the serial number counter or number server to one higher than the highest
present in the log.

With the cursor in the entry line, Edit serial number will update DXLog's serial
number counter, or when used, a local number server.

If the number server is not local (i.e. executing on another computer), it cannot be modified.
If the current serial number is reserved, the number server cannot be modified.

CAUTION: In a networked, multi-station setting, modifying the serial number counter/server may
cause chaos and is not advised. The only exception may be for a contest with a per-band serial
number with no number server active. Resetting the serial number counter/server by reloading the
log can be done, providing the other stations have not reserved any serial number and do not
log any QSO while the reload is in process.
