Contest Time Setting Issue

[W2PMC]

First time use of the Contest function this weekend for Winter Field Day.

In the Contest Setup screen the Start and End times were fixed at 12hr time format, I could not find a way to change it to 24. My Station location is set correctly (New York EST time zone UTC-5).

Timeframe for this particular contest was “2p - 2p” so that’s what I set. Without warning the Contest Log stopped tabulating & dupe-checking contest entries several hours before Contest end. Incrementing the Contest Setup End Time a number of hours past 2p restored the missing entries, although it was then apparent I had unknowingly generated a number of dupes during the time the Log wasn’t functioning correctly.

Could find nothing in the Manual to resolve this, what am I missing?

73!

OM,

Check your windows time settings. Log4OM will use that format. Recommend you change the Windows settings to 24 hour clock.

Thanks Doug, that did the trick! Win10 now displays 24 hr format. Just to confirm - Do Contest Start/End set times conform to the Win Time Zone setting, ie. Local or UTC?
Thx & 73,

The times should all be UTC.
