howto: converting a ham-log
from logger32 or mmtty to cabrillo, reg1text or stuetzerbach ( stf )
i am not a contester, but sometime i participe in a contest and of course the contest-manager needs an other format, as my primary format is. and there are a lot of import/export formats: ADIF, ASCII, Cabrillo, STF, EDI
in this case i found ucxlog created by DL7UCX very usefull.
first you have to install this great software, see http://www.ucxlog.org/ to download and install. ( installation not described )
how to do converting ?
mostly i am using logger32 for my logs
export the log with logger32: file -> export logs -> adif
select partial log if neccassary with “start date” and “end date”
select a file and remember the location ( directory )
start ucxlog
if an old contest is activ, then do: contest -> delete log -> select the log -> yes -> last warning with “yes”
ucxlog will terminate, start ucxlog again
import the saved .adi file with contest -> import -> adif
select the membered file and “yes”
now select the contest type, which is hopefully in the list. you get an information window with the number of qso imported. press -> OK
now recalculate the points
contest -> edit log -> contest data
select the contest
press in the new window “recalculate multi/points” -> all ( futher )
the column with points should now be recalculated
press: exit & save
update the rest: settings -> station enter the informations within general tab
export the contest-data to the wanted format and do
contest -> send log ( cabrillo, stf, edi )
select the contest and then the wanted log-format. the default path will be in a subdirectory of the installation path. to find under export/
that’s it
here an other example
running mmtty from je3hht for a rtty-contest
it is easy to press the qso button of software mmtty to log the qso, which is done in the internal mmmtty log-format. after the contest you can do:
view -> log data list
select the wanted records or select all and press:
file -> export selected range -> cabrillo
select a file and remember the location ( directory )
the rest is the same
if there should be some other methods, please inform me.
