If your log looks like your example it violates the "wierd contest rules"
"...the same station can be worked multiple times provided 3 contacts separate the contact in both logs, regardless of band.

Hi all, After playing around in the RTTY contest this past weekend, I decided to import that log into DX4WIN. I'm glad that DX4WIN has the capability of NOT saving your import until after you exit. This particular contest allowed you to work the same station on the same band as many times as you could but had a 3 qso in-between rule. My log WOULD have looked like this had I kept the changes (callsigns are faked to protect the innocent :) 2310Z K3ABC 40M RTTY 599 Joe MD 2310Z W5XYZ 40M RTTY 599 Frank TX 2310Z W2ZYX 40M RTTY 599 Tom NY 2311Z K3ABC 40M RTTY 599 Joe MD Etc. When I did this, I did a sort and found that I worked K3ABC (not real callsign) 38 times on the same band!!! Now take that same call for the contest on other bands, I and I have worked him a total of 84 times in a *4 hour contest!!* My question, is how many of you have similar contacts? My log is getting full because in RTTY (one of my favorite contests), I run into the same 'circle of contesters', so my same call window is filled. I guess I'm not faulting DX4WIN as it is doing exactly what it is intended to do, that I am faulting the 'weird contest rules'. Thanks for letting me vent ;) 73 DE AI3W, Rick ...contesting... where everyone is 599, but are asked for repeats. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

The ZLP interface requires RTS to power the device, and my 746Pro also requires RTS high. The default for the ZLP device requires DTR for CW keying and RTS for PTT. Thanks to those who responded and a special thanks to Kostas for the screen prints of his set up. 73, Terry, WK0F From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Mar 14 05:14:24 2005 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Radivoj KAR) Date: Mon Mar 14 05:18:44 2005 Subject: [Dx4win] Contest import - how many of you? In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Rick, Very strange! First, if you imported adif file exported from your contest log, DX4WIN should not even know whether it was a contest or not and what were the rules! I have imported several adif logs from my DX-peditions, having sometimes repeated contacts, and had never a problem of such multiplication... 73, Radi F6GNZ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rick Graham Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 12:27 AM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] Contest import - how many of you?
