Hi Terry,

I'm not really sure if there is a logger for your contest.  Amateur Contact
log is a general logger only, and N3FJP handles contests by producing a
separate program for each different contest.  This is the opposite to N1MM,
which has 1 much more complicated program supporting all the contests
<smile>.

Scott is about half way through rewriting his contest logs in C#, and I
think he was bringing out a new program ahead of each contest where it was
needed.  BTW, I think he has about 50 contest loggers in the list.

Take a look at N3FJP.com, and perhaps check out what is available?  Again,
I've no idea if the changes rolled out from the AC Log amendments will make
these logs totally accessible, but it will no doubt help.  

Thinking about it, if the contest loggers allow for Cluster access for
assisted operation, and these get the AC Log changes, this will make a big
difference.  Unlike N1MM, I don't think any N3FJP logger will control the
rotor.

Excellent stuff Kelvin,

To what extent does ACLOG manage VHF contests. N1MM doesn't seem to give =
full support to these - I don't seem to be able to enter a Locator and =
have the rotator find it - perhaps I've missed something there. I can =
also only output logs in generic format - I think RSGB prefers MINOS.

Any thoughts?

I had a brief look at MINOS but it didn't seem to have an automatic =
message sending capability which is a bit inconvenient.


Cheers,

Terry, GM3WUX
