Subject: [N3FJP_Software] AC Log 6.2 & New Versions of All Contest Software Now
Available!
Hi All,
I'm excited to let you know that Amateur Contact Log 6.2 and new versions of all
my contest software are now available!
These enhancements apply to Amateur Contact Log specifically:
Automatic Upload to LoTW on Entry
From the menu options click eLogs > LoTW and click Enable Real Time Upload at
the left (at the bottom of the Upload section). You won't see any notifications
when entering QSOs, but each will upload as you press enter. Next time you do
an All Since download, the QSOs should be included in the download. As always,
QSOs are not marked as sent until you do a LoTW download.
Automatic Upload to eQSL on Entry
From the menu options click eLogs > eQSL and click Enable Real Time Upload. You
won't see any notifications when entering QSOs, but each will upload as you
press enter.
Automatic Upload to Club Log on Entry (Batches of 10)
From the menu options click eLogs > Club Log and click Enable Real Time Upload.
After entering 10 consecutive QSOs that haven't been uploaded to Club Log, they
will be upload on the 10th as you press enter.
These enhancements apply to both Amateur Contact Log and all the latest versions
of the contest software:
Rig Interface: Icom2
Up until now, Icom 7610 users had to first enable their echo option in their
rigs to interface with my software. With the Icom2 selection, that should no
longer be necessary. Icom2 should work with all Icoms. Don't forget to change
the rig ID in the string for your specific Icom (details here:
http://www.n3fjp.com/help/righelp.html)
Rig Interface: Yaesu 891
Until now, Yaesu 891 users had to select the Yaesu 991 option for their 891s.
Their is now a 891 specific selection.
Sending rig commands with PH and CW F keys
I have added the ability to play saved voice recordings and CW strings stored in
your rig (for rigs equipped with this feature). To send a command instead of
playing a wave file (or CW string), precede the command with RI:. For example,
when placed in an F key string, the following will trigger the Icom 7300
internally recorded messages: (you must have rig interface enabled and be
connected by a com port).
Stop xmit RI:FEFE94E0280000FD
Play mem 1 RI:FEFE94E0280001FD
Play mem 2 RI:FEFE94E0280002FD (and so on...)
Of course, users of other Icom rigs will replace the 94 with the rig ID for
their rig and users of other rig manufacturers will use different commands
entirely. Consult your rig's manual to see if your rig supports this feature
and find the appropriate commands.
AC Log must be in PH/SSB mode to send the command associated with the F key on
the phone set up form. AC Log must be in CW to send the command on the CW set
up form.
And finally, one last contest software specific upgrade:
New Score Distributor Default
I modified the online score upload feature to default to the new score
distributor created by Bruce, WA7BNM, which feeds both major real time
scoreboards. Even if you are just a casual contestor, please be sure to enable
the upload!
To Upgrade Amateur Contact Log:
You'll find AC Log 6.2 here:

And the steps to upgrade here:

To Upgrade the Contest Software:
You'll find the download link for each program near the top of their respective
web pages. Just be sure to first uninstall the previous version as detailed
here:
http://www.n3fjp.com/upgradestepscontest.html
As always, upgrades are free to registered users!
Three Other Quick Notes...
- More folks are discovering FT8 every day, many of which are running an old
version of their TQSL software, which returns a mode error when they try to
upload to LoTW. Just upgrade to ARRL's latest TQSL software to correct that
error.
- To add Republic of Kosovo to your country list, just click File > Download
Country Files from AD1C.
- I've updated Kentucky In State & Out of State 1.8 to reflect the minor rule
changes (power multiplier, bonus station points, and 2M) in place for this
year's contest.
And in response to the questions we always receive when we neglect to include
the following in our e-mail announcements...
Package Upgrade Information...

Donations are Gratefully Accepted!
And in response to the often asked question for which Kimberly and I are very
grateful...
"I know your upgrades are free, but I also realize how much time and effort
coding these enhancements and new programs take and that your pricing policy
doesn't fully reflect that. Can I send you something to show my appreciation for
your continued efforts?"
Yes, thanks so much, your continued support in any amount is very welcome and
deeply appreciated! You can use this page:
http://www.n3fjp.com/donations.html
or send your contribution by mail, payable to Affirmatech Inc., to:

to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and
respect...
p.s. If you want to unsubscribe or need to change your e-mail address for future
announcements....
The way Yahoo groups are set up, it is much easier for subscribers to
unsubscribe from the old e-mail address than for the list owner to do it for
you. In addition, Yahoo now prohibits list owners from adding anyone, so it is
impossible for me to add your new e-mail address.
Fortunately, it is very easy for subscribers to unsubscribe and resubscribe.
Here are the links to the announcements group:

And users group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/n3fjp_software_users/
Please go ahead and make that change.
