We do of course already have the WAB award included in the software as below

However if you also want to add trig points than you can either construct your own Trig Point award if you have a complete list of references? alternatively record the trig point reference in the 'Comments' field

There is not a specific standard ADIF field for trig points

Thanks Terry

Found it, is there anyway to add a field to the QSO info and then it might appear in the recent QSO coloum?

I have been using G8PUT but Log4OM looks and feels a lot better

You can change the displayed fields and the layout of the fields by using the 'Layout' button at the bottom of the window.

You cannot add a new field that is not included in the ADIF standard list of fields so adding a field called 'Trig Points' or 'Shoe size' is not possible that is why I suggested that you use the comments field for that information.

I am also looking at the WAB award. What I was expecting, was a button when pressed would read all my log entries and tell me If I have already qualified for the award, If not, what entities are missing. What am I missing?

Hi Art

I use the WAB spreadsheet to keep my award records, it does mean however that I have to enter the Call Sign and date of the Square worked, As I said earlier I was using the log program from G8PUT but it was designed for WAB and therefore falls short of this one

Cheers

What field are we expected to find the WAB reference in?

If there was a dedicated ADIF field for the WAB reference it would be easy but there is not and every logging software uses a different method of recording the WAB reference as a result!

I have found this and whilst the G8PUT logging program works I still find the best way has been to use the WAB tracker spreadsheet and just keep the logging programs for a record of the QSO and as a reference should I need it.

I'm trying to get my mind around the Awards section and hopefully once sorted it will even make more sense.

Thanks for the feed back
