- DIVIDE QDF BY BANDS (F1, then F6) has become SEPARATE A .QDF FILE. An NA log file can now be separated by band, xmtr1/xmtr2 for m/2, run/mult for m/s, or by the computer which logged the QSO.

[ TOP OF PAGE ]

Rev 10.36

Fixed bug which caused crash in contests with "rst text" exchanges, ARRL DX for example.

In ARRL 10M contest, a DX callsign would erroneously insert the country prefix in the QTH field. Callsigns which should default to a mult abbreviation (KH6/KL7/VE) did not.

New features:

New command BANDMAPTIME allows adjusting timeout duration of band map from 1-99 minutes.

[ TOP OF PAGE ]

Rev 10.34

October 20, 1998

[ TOP OF PAGE ]

Split frequency would not be set correctly on the IC-756.
Program would crash if a QSO was logged with the Abbreviations List window open and there was no multiplier alias file (tnx many reports).
With two radios, Check Partial was always checking the band of radio #1 and alternate radio Check Partial was always checking the band of radio #2. Program now correctly reflects the band(s) of the active radio configuration.

When setting the alternate VFO frequency, data is now checked for validity to prevent a program crash.
A remotely logged QSO coming in from the network would cause erroneous rate calculations - Last10 would be zero and Mins/Mult would sometimes go negative.

Fixed crash of "radio-centered" band map.
Check partial would not update when deleting a character.
Ten minute band timer would reset on remote QSO coming in over network.
Radio polling interval for FT-920 was 15 seconds, should be 3 seconds.
Checking a call on the alternate radio (Alt-D) now puts that station into the bandmap.

[ TOP OF PAGE ]

Rev 10.22

All LPT ports are now initialized at program startup and shutdown.
ADIF files made from CQWW logs were missing RSTs and rcvd zone - fixed.
Score Window would show 24 GHz band as 10 GHz.
Phantom problem where the spacebar would no longer move from field to field, apparently caused during two-radio operation. To avoid this, Alt-D (Check Alternate Call) is only enabled when cursor is in callsign field. Also, Alt-D now starts with a blank call at each invocation.
With multiple linked computers, an incoming QSO would overwrite the MULTIPLIER SCREEN. Also, when a QSO was edited on a remote machine, the current editing field on the local machine would be temporarily hidden.
In SHOW QSOS WITH window, QSOs with longer calls should show up on lists for shorter calls (i.e., K6BZS would show on a list for K6BZ).
Edit Log File Comments (which few people seemed to use) removed to make room for movable screen windows in a future version.
Support added for IC-756 and FT-920. Also, Omni-6 owners now have their own selection, which assumes IC-735 emulation (ID = 04).
New version of CONFIG.EXE (1.05) released to allow selecting new radios.
Newfoundland-Labrador (NL) section added to SECTIONS.MLT.
Northern New York (NNY) section added to PAQSO.MLT. (Note: NL is not added because provinces are already mults for PAQP.)

Non-mult DX was not allowed in CA QSO Party for in-state QSOs. New CALQSO1.CRT template released.
PA QSO Party points rule added. Template Editor version 1.07 released to allow this points selection. Also, new PAQP templates released (both in and out state).
With two radios, adding Alt to Return or Minus keys allows setting main or alternate VFO on the non-main radio.
Band Map can be set to either moving frequency or fixed frequency with new option on the PROGRAM OPTIONS CONTROL PANEL (default is moving).

[ TOP OF PAGE ]

Rev 10.21

Program would miss keystrokes with a Yaesu radio selected - fixed.
Minus key to set split frequency would not work with two or five digits in the call field - fixed.

Fixed mysterious problem where in dual mode contests where the first multiplier in the WANTED MULTS window would be missing on SSB, but not on CW.
The -GW (western grids only) switch was broken.
Added FM and RTTY modes. For scoring, FM counts the same as SSB, so in certain places like the score window, the "SSB" label is now "PH" or "PHONE". Note: SSB, FM & AM all score as "Phone" while all the digital modes (CW, FSK, Packet) score as "CW". New version of NAU (1.25) provided to support the new modes.
Program now writes an "Amateur Data Interchange Format" (ADIF) file when log files are written to disk. See UPDATE.DOC for details.
Additions/fixes to NAQSL Version 3.13:

- FSK and FM modes added.
- "Hot keys" to pop up selection menus were changed from old Lotus-style press a letter key then enter, to modern Alt-key combinations.
- Extra confirmation step added before deleting tagged QSOs.

[ TOP OF PAGE ]

Rev 10.18
Contests with ON/OFF times in the .PRN file were not marked correctly. Times for upcoming skeds would not be calculated correctly (and therefore not visually/audibly announced on time) unless computer clock was set on GMT (offset = 0 in CONFIG).
