Dear CT-Users,
I am having some problems using the Merge utility in CT v.10.03.002. Perhaps
someone can help? Here are the particulars: I am using CT Character Mode
for Windows for the first time this year. I've been out of active contesting
for several years and have always used DOS CT v.7/8/9 in past years. So there
are things about CT operating in Windows that I am not familiar with. I run my
everyday station log in DXpedition mode. Been doing so for many years from
many locations as there is a minimum of data entry and that's nice when doing
pileups from a DX locale. After a major contest -- the CQWWCW last weekend --
I always merge my contest log into my everyday station log. Sometimes that
merge entails changing some erroneous band entries, but that's about the only
issue I ever had with merge in DOS CT. I can clean those band errors in an
hour
or so. This year after the CQ WW CW, I ran the merge utility in Character
mode and ended up with gibberish for output in a merged file -- nothing
repairable as things ended up in the wrong fields and not all contest QSOs were
imported into the DXpedition log. So what I have on my hands is a mess. I
did, of
course, save copies of both logs in their original forms. So that part of the
mess is easily fixed. Now I'm back where I started. I want to get my CQWW
contest log imported into (or merged with) my DXpedition everyday log so that I
can keep a running log of all contacts made here from WH2D (contest and
non-contest alike). I am stumped how to proceed. If a) this is easier than it
appears and you can walk me through this, or b) this is a bear but you can do
it
(and I would be happy to send you my .bin files to play with) please let me
know. My eternal gratitude awaits you.
Thanks & 73,
Mike
