[MiQP-Mail] Simple question

[Chasey, David A]

Writelog supports MiQP fine, and also networks well.

Hi John,

While contest rules with serial numbers state a sequential serial number should be sent, often it's hard for multi-ops to fully comply.  For example, their software may not be capable of a single serial number string (often called a serial number server), or not all stations are networked so they can't do a single serial number string.

As such, the generally accepted practice for all contest sponsors is to accept separate serial numbers for each band, or transmitter.  The most important thing is what was sent is logged (you don't want to give out serial number 59 and the software logs 58 for some reason - it can happen with buggy software).  So do what's best for you.

If you go with separate logs and you are not networked, you will need to merge the logs after the contest.

Most major contesting software will handle M/M.  NA, N1MM, WriteLog, WinTest, TR, etc, though not everyone will support the MiQP.  For example WinTest only supports a single QSO party, and it's not the MiQP (darn).  The key is having software that will support the MiQP.  I know NA and N1MM support MiQP and do M/M.  I don't have experience in other software to know if they do.

I hope this helps.

I have what I believe is a simple question.

We are talking about setting up a multi - multi station for the Michigan QSO party but need to understand how we do the logging.

Since we will have multiple transmitters under one call does each one have its own log with the sequence number starting from 001?

Is there a separate log for CW and phone each with a sequence # starting at 001?   For each band?

Or something entirely different.

Is there shared network based logging software that will handle multiple transmitters?

Thanks for your help.
