I just spotted a special event station K5DX/50 on the cluster, but it did not show up in the spot log. Any idea why? This is a Special Event Station for the Texas DX Society 50th Annivesary (I am also one of the operators) and I would like to get alerts when it is spotted. Wonder why it is getting filtered...? K5DX without the "/50" works fine...

You probably don't need it for any award you are tracking.

If you check SHOW ALL, it will show unneeded spots. However, check the Prefilter. That could cause the spot log to ignore it.

But really what you want to do is use the ALERTS feature. Click on the ALERTS tab in the spot log, then SETUP.

Let me know if any questions.

Tnx & 73,

Dennis,
It shows up in the spot log as K5DX but not K5DX/50. See attached. And I do have "SHOW ALL" checked.

Sorry for letting this fall thru the cracks.

Looking in your first screen shot, I am not seeing the problem.

One is not in the correct format for a spot:

dx k5dx/50 5357 test spot

But there is one that is in the correct format:

DX de N5XZ: 5357.0 K5DX/50 test spot 0115Z EL29

LOGic does not expect that the line start with DX de N5XZ. This also works.

xxxxxDX de N5XZ: 5357.0 K5DX/50 test spot 0115Z EL29

This works too:
dx k5dx/50 text spotDX de N5XZ: 5357.0 K5DX/50 test spot 2 0115Z EL29

I tested these scenarios with LOGic's test spot feature on the Options page.

I suspect that the screen shot is not showing something. Some control characters or line breaks that are in the wrong place or something.

Try the Test Spot feature to make sure it is handling K5DX/50 for you also.

Be sure to checkmark NO PREFILTER. I thought it wasn't working at first, but I had a prefilter that stopped it.

Tnx & 73,

I had SPOTBYCONT=GLOBAL.MY_CONTINENT in the prefilter window. I turned it off and did a test spot and it worked fine. Still do not understand why K5DX/50 whould not be shown in the SPOT LOG when spotted by me in NA. I see other spots of stations outside of NA spotted by stations in NA.

BTW, I also have K5DX/50 turned on in the ALERTS setup, but that makes no difference.
