Multiple Computer Support
Posted: 26 Sep 2017, 23:36
Long time LOG4OM user and major advocate trying to educate all of my friends in Northern California. I have a question which is probably a FAQ but have searched every combination of words to see if this subject exists with no luck.
I have a multi-multi type contest station with multiple monoband yagis and other antennas and 3 operating positions on a 7 meter bench that me and some mates operate contests from. For contests we use N1MM in a multi configuration mode running on 3 or 4 different computers. N1MM has an elegant networking feature which allows each station to operate independently on different bands while sharing all data on the network.
I have been using a fully integrated FT8 station with an Elecraft K3 using LOG4OM and WSJT-X , JTAlert and the Virtual Port emulator . It works flawlessly and with a single entry key to complete the QSO and make the log entry. I keep my log file on dropbox so like others I can run multiple locations and field operations using the single dropbox log file. Everything is perfect.
I recently set up a second and now third station so I can run multiple FT8 stations at the same time. I know, I am also writing a book called " Beyond Type A" ..
The question is, can I have multiple copies of LOG4OM running on multiple computers all sharing the same log file over the internet on dropbox ?
I am also experimenting with the idea of just importing and ADIF file from time to time from the 2nd and 3rd station. I seem to remember seeing something like that mentioned previously. If that is the only suggestion can that be done on some kind of Chron job that would initiate the ADIF import from time to time.
Thanks again for the great system and your outstanding support
