Lowell, you might send Scott Davis who wrote the pgm and he would most 
likely help you.  G L and73.

Subject: Re: HELP! Converting FCC data to a calldata file

Hello Jim,
Thank you for your reply.
According to the N3FJP page where you can download ACLog, it says that you
have to download from the FCC sight, a file called L_amat.zip.
He provides a link for doing it.
This I did and unzipped it; then went to my old copy of ACLog 3.2 which he
says can make a calldata file from the unzipped download.
Well, it would not do it for me; it kept saying that the files could not be
found.
OK. then I went to the ACLog 4.6 and tried to use the provision they give
you to download a 40 Meg file.
That did not work either as it said it could not find www.n3fjp.com/calldata
I certainly can use a file that may be 6 months old, but at this point I
can't get anything!
Any suggestions would be so appreciated!
In fact, Jim, I would be glad to call you on the land line if you care to
give me your number.
I know it shouldn't be this hard!!!!
Tell me what I need to do next please.
Best 73.
