WriteLog Windows

Navigation tip: Navigation on the site is found on the left sidebar.

WriteLog works through individual windows. This section describes each of WriteLog’s windows, how they are used, how they are set up, and any other pertinent information for their operation.

Here’s the complete scoop on each of WriteLog’s Windows:

QSO Entry

• This window is where all of your contacts and contest exchanges take place

Super Check Partial

• As you type in the call signs of the stations calling you after your CQ, the Super Check Partial window constantly updates available calls based upon the partial calls you have entered into the QSO Entry window.

Check Call

• The Check Call window performs two functions: first, it will show you if the station has been worked before in the contest. Second, it will show if the station is needed as a multiplier on a different band.

Packet

• New multipliers will show up on different frequencies in the Packet Spots window if allowed.

Rate

• This window shows how fast a contester is working other stations

Sked

• The Sked window performs two functions. The first function is to record a schedule with another station for a future time to work the station on a different band. The second function is to notify other operators in a multi-operator contest environment that the mult is being passed to them.

Band Map

• The Band Map is a useful tool that displays the frequency spectrum of the band you are currently operating on as well as the stations that are currently operating at frequencies shown on the Band Map.

Log Edit

• The Log Edit window is where you edit QSO’s already logged, such as for correcting a call already entered in the heat of battle.

Show Multipliers

• The Show Mults window gives you a quick summary of the multipliers worked by band, continent, or whatever the contest supports.

Search and Pounce

• The S&P screen gives you three quick memories to store stations and their frequencies to recall later.

RttyRite

• The Rttyrite window is where your RTTY and PSK signals are copied.

CW Decoder

• The CW Display window offers six channels where WriteLog will attempt to copy CW for you. This will never substitute for knowing CW, of course, but it is an interesting accessory.
