I don't understand the Awards in Log4OM
Posted: 18 Jan 2015, 20:16
I guess I'll have to admit it in the open, but I do not understand how the Log4OM awards work. Yes I downloaded the latest manual and read the awards section, and I've played with it for a long time. but I still do not understand what I'm supposed to do. It just seems very intricate and hard to understand for me anyway. I'm hoping somebody can help me.
For example, in the awards manager, there is a "Canadian Provinces: Worked all Canadian Provinces" I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with that screen. And in the Statistics and Awards area, there is again a selection under Awards "Canadian Provinces: Worked all Canadian Provinces". When I select it what am I supposed to see there? All I see are different check boxes for modes and confirmations, but no matter what I check nothing appears in the grid after a refresh, even though I've worked many Canadian stations and they are all in the Log4OM log.
And even if I got it to work, where does the "award" come from? I don't understand that either. Who "owns" the award - I mean who grants it?
So, I'm very sorry to trouble you all, but I just can't manage to understand what I'm supposed to do, even after reading the manual.
Can anyone provide an "idiot's guide to the Log4OM awards? Is there another post on them here already that might help me?
