Tips, Tricks and Hacks (TTH#01) IMHO

Post by kq4aji »

This is my attempt to share Tips, Tricks and Hacks (TTH) that I have found to improve my operation of Log4OM. Like most programs, I have read the manual (thanks G4POP :D ) but playing around with it is the best teacher for me.

This is one I discovered yesterday while uploading my ARRL SSB WW logs. I am a casual contested but do like the way LOG4OM runs when in contest mode, showing what you need!

I have always struggled getting the ADIF into Carrillo. I’ve use external programs and web sites but it’s more trouble than progress.

Here is my Hack (finally).
  • F7 to get the recent QSO’s
    Filter using QSOdate to get the contest list if not in contest mode
    Select all the QSOs
    Press the Excel button to save it to an Excel file
    Open it in Excel or I use LibreCalc
    Move the columns around to the required format
    Copy and paste the date column again to use as time column.
    Will need to format the date and time columns as required
    Select the QSO data only (no headers) and copy
    Go to the log upload web page and paste, the data will paste as TEXT! That's the magic part!
The beauty is that it paste as text which is easier than all the conversion hoops. Anyway, hope it helps. It may be obvious to some but it worked for me :D
Thanks and God Bless,
