Logging QSOs
SO1R specifics
- Automated CW generation, RTTY messages and voice keyers
- Radio Control
- Use of Cluster spots
- Taking advantage of the Band Map feature
SO2R specifics
- Learning the second radio window
- Using the 'shift binds second radio' option
This feature changes some key assignments in Win-Test - Using the 'caps lock binds to secondary radio' option
- Using 'advanced SO2R' mode and setting up scenarios
- Win-Test and the SO2R external devices
Multi-op contesting
- Setting up station names and time synchronization
- Using multi-op text commands to designate RUN/MULT, RUN1/RUN2, etc.
- Using move in my log only to edit QSOs
- Passing multipliers between stations
- Understanding the status window
- If you need to delete a QSO during the contest - DO NOT use the 'delete QSO' feature
- Clearing all logs before the start
Possible issues
- Sequential serial numbers between stations shared between both stations
- Editing the sequential serial numbering
- QSOs made by the Mult stations which are not multipliers
Contest specific behaviour
- Some notes about contest specific keys and parameters, e.g. for WAEDC
Posting live score on-line
- In order to post live score on-line to getscores.org you will need a third party software. Instructions and software to download can be found on the www.5b4wn.com web site.
Post-contest specifics

- Extracting log Information
- Merging logs before exportation (see: Menu:File_new Merge_Logs chapter)
- Cleaning the log (see: Menu:File_new Clean_log chapter)
- Creating the Cabrillo, Reg1Test or ADIF exports
- Mailing the Cabrillo or Reg1Test log to the contest sponsor
