I have been doing this with multiple log files. It works well for the contest. However, after the contest is completed I want to merge to a master log file for the QTH in order to do inbound/outbound QSL accounting and DXCC analysis.
The merge of log files is a pain the way it currently is setup, because you end up with a new file under a new name. Try to merge multiple files at once and you end up with a lot of intermediate files and a really long name for the merged file. I could manage this if it were possible to merge from the command line, but its not, so I find it inconvenient. I was thinking about making a patch for command line merges, but I haven't had the time to do so yet. If such a patch were made, would it be useful to others? Thanks. -Chris KC2SYK On Mon, May 4, 2015 at 9:18 AM, Pierfrancesco Caci <p...@tippete.net> wrote: > > This is where the multiple log file feature of xlog really shines.
