Did you mean a manual adding from a paperlog or an import from ADIF of a contest logger ? I always using contest loggers
for the different contests and after the contest i import ADIF via the ADIF Import of Log4OM. In that case there is no need
to have the contest module running. I run external contest loggers so they give me a point calculation and they store the
correct contest format for uploading to the contests website. I import only that i have a complete logbook.

Chris,
No that wont work from the contest module because the dates will have expired.

Your best to use our Lazylog from the 'Utilities' menu, once you get used to it is is very fast and easy.

Better still in the future integrate N1MM with Log4OM som that as you enter the contact in N1MM it automajically gets added to Log4OM and the data updated in the process.

For casual contesting use Log4OM contest mode live in real time.
