Contest mode suggestion
Posted: 01 Sep 2014, 08:17
Hi all,
I'm pretty new in software logging and after looking at the well known around, I've choosed Log4OM because it looks easy to use and complete.
So I've started using it from a few days and for normal QSOs it really goes like I would!
Yesterday I've tried using it in a 50 MHz local Contest and I was in trouble...
It was problematic to:
- enter first the callsign in the Info QSO tab
- then the program goes automatically in Contest mode tab to insert the Received report
- Switch with F1 to QSO Info tab and press 4-5 time tab to go to the Locator field, or need to take the mouse and click on Locator tab to insert it.
It's very confusing and sometimes I made error in typing in the wrong place!!!
Am I doing something wrong using Log4OM in Contest mode?
Has someone suggestions on how it must be used?
Thanks a lot for the help here
