Contest mode- post contest?

[WR3Y]

I did not use contest mode during the ARRL CW contest and now my Club needs me to submit my log. Is there an easy way to import those dates of my log into contest mode and then manually add the proper contest exchange? I would hate to add every Q manually.

Hi Rob,

You can use QSO Manager/QSO Archive to manually make the changes. Select the records which you want to update, then click Field Update, then set the Contest field to true, then click on the Update button. Then select the Contest ID field and set it to the ID of the contest, and click on the Update button. Then select the Contest sent field and set it to the value which you sent during the contest, then click on the Update button. Now you will have to update each record with the received exchange manually.

See page 77 of the users manual for more information about how to do bulk updates with QSO Manager.

Also a couple of my YouTube videos explain how

You should have a "structured" file to import data automatically.
Basically log4om has 5 Keys for each QSO:

CALL/QsoDate/TimeOn/Band/Mode

if you have an ADIF with those data you can MERGE your data using the QSL MANAGEMENT - MERGE function (this will alter your log, so make a backup first), but if you don't have such data it will be really complex for Log4OM to recognize right informations (you should use manual SQL to update single records in the database but requires a bit of sql knowledge and Excel-Scripting sql generation capabilities

That is not what he needs Lele its just a simple bulk update of the contest fields on QSO's that already exist in the Log4om logbook

Yes, and technically we have multiple possibilities, but nothing "out of the box" because each QSO must have his own contest identifier and there is nothing we have in "point and click"
