Thanks for the additional excellent suggestions here, Kelvin.

As you know, I'm still relatively new to A C Log, but these will give me
more items to add to my growing tool box.

I appreciate what both you and Jim have shared here.

Hi Tom,

I hadn't realised you can change the default from 50, thanks Jim.  

The first thing I would comment on, is that restricting the list to a
relatively small number, makes everything run much faster.  I have about 12
thousand QSOs, and listing all of them has a noticeable slowing down effect.

As I've not found a single step method to select date ranges, I make a note
of record numbers, and I can use these to restrict list ranges.  For
instance, 12007 is the first QSO I made in 2014.

Here is another thing to try.  If you highlight certain entries in the Main
List, you can copy them to the clipboard, and then paste them into a
spreadsheet.  All the columns are preserved, and I find this is incredibly
useful for QSLing.

Select the QSOs to be shown in the list, as per Jim's instructions.  Press
Control+Q, to get into the Main List.  Highlight the records you want.
Pulldown the Edit menu and choose 'Copy Selected Records to Clipboard' or
there is an option to choose all the records with 'Copy Current List to
Clipboard'.  Go to your spreadsheet, and just paste them in.

When you get LOTW going, you can do the same with the QSO matches.  I seldom
bother, as the LOTW list is accessible, but it is occasionally useful to put
the list into a spreadsheet!

Best wishes, Kelvin Marsh - M0AID

Tom,
Doo ALT+F to bring up the file menu. Right arrow 6 times to get to the
"list" menu. Arrow down from the default number of records to show to "all"
and press enter. Now your entire log can be reviewed with control+q.

Note, further down in that submenu, you can ask for a specific range of
records to be shown or you can reset the default number of records. I reset
my default to 10 because that's usually enough.

Subject: A C Log Question

Hi, all:

 

A C Log continues to work well here, and it worked great for my W1AW/8
operation last week-end.

 

The next project is onto L O T W.

 

Regarding A C Log, though, I have a quick question:

 

I am successfully using the control Q function to check on recent contacts
if needed, and to edit entries if I make a mistake.

 

However, I can't figure out  how to get to older contacts in the log beyond
the most recent 20 or 30?  In other words, how do you continue down the log
to entries beyond those that appear on the initial screen?

 

Thanks as always for any helpful suggestions.
