Kelvin:

What I find is that when working W1AW portable stations, my time on stays
constant, while my time off either stays constant, or switches to the
correct time once I log the contact.

As you know, these are very short contacts, so time on and time off are
going to be basically the same, unless, of course, the minute changes during
the few seconds of the contact.

I'm just not sure why the time on and time off values don't agree.

I can adjust the time on and time off values manually so that they do
correspond in the log, but it seems like that should not be necessary.

Does this help?

Hi Tom,

Is the time difference plus or minus a few minutes?  Can you give a step by
step example.  Off hand, I can only think that time difference is due to AC
Log maintaining the initial time, when you first tabbed into the field.  If
the QSO is 3 minutes, the time will not be advanced.

Subject: Question On Propper Time Recording In A C Log

Hi, all.

 

Now, I guess it's my turn to ask a question regarding A C Log.

 

As I am working various W1AW portable stations for the ARRL Centennial
Event, I'm noticing a weird problem in A C Log regarding proper recording of
QSO times.

 

When I did my own W1AW/8 operation two weeks ago, I found that if I tabbed
to the time on field, and hit enter, qso times would be properly recorded.

 

However, I'm not finding that to be the case now, when I'm using a new log
within A C Log to keep track of the W1AW portable stations I work for the
QSO Party event.

 

If I hit enter at the time on tab, I often find the time to be incorrectly
recorded by several minutes, and have to enter the correct time manually.

 

I can't figure out what might have changed in the software between now, and
the time I did my own W1AW operation.

 

Is there something I need to double-check in configuration settings, or am I
missing a step here?
