Dennis,

I don't understand how to use the awards progress to follow ARRL sections in the sweepstakes log. I want to see progress for just the current contest.

Thanks,

Hi Ron,

There isn't a screen or window that will give you a "real time" look at your contest progress. It would be nice if there was a drop down table or list that would highlight each section worked, maybe even by band. That's one for the wish list !!

While in contest mode and if you have the scoring window open, you can see the "multipliers" worked in real time, which in the case of the Nov Sweeps would equal the number of ARRL/RAC Sections worked, but its only a number, fine if all you need is to know how many of the 84 sections you've worked. You could run an awards report on ARRL Sections and filter it by date, that would give you a complete list, including those not worked, but its only a "snapshot" in time and would have to be run multiple times throughout the contest, but it would give you a complete progress list of sections worked with name, call, date, time, band, mode, etc..

Hope that helps,

Good Luck in the contest!! I'll be searching and pouncing trying to better my dismal showing from last year.

73, de Brad N8GLS

Thanks Brad,

I did think of using the scoring window after I sent the question, but a real time look would be very nice to have plus a list of those worked amd not worked. I will attempt to use the Progress report by date. (Not that I worry about a clean sweep - just a nice thought). Thanks for the quick reply.

I also am a hunt and peck guy. See you in SS and good luck.

A list of ARRL Sections worked and not worked? LOGic's awards tracking also tracks multipliers. So Click Awards/Progress List. Select ARRL SECT for the Award, and (multiplier) for the subaward.

The display is not automatic unfortunately -- you have to click the Refresh button to repaint the display. Things are much faster now, so I can look into make it referesh automatically.

An aside, set up Progress 1 to show ARRL SECT/(multiplier), and you WILL get a real-time, automatic update of the ARRL Sect being logged.

Tnx & 73,

Dennis WN4AZY

Darn Dennis, I didn't think to set Progress 1.....getting older I guess.

For this contest anyways I would like to retire my hardcopy Multiplier Check List and highlighter....Its the 500ft level view and a huge aide.

73, de Brad
