We were getting ready to leave Germany in May of 1993. I wanted to work one
more major contest before returning to the states, so I put a major effort
into WPX CW. I did very well, as I recall, probably one of the top two or
three scores in Europe in the LP category.
Through a series of colossal screwups at the end of the contest I somehow
managed to delete major portions of my log.dat file. This was compounded by
my
daughter attempting to retrieve some of her homework from the computer while
I was in the log checking process. When I attempted to retrieve the file
from my backup floppy, it failed. I was SOL! I might have made a more
serious
effort to retrieve the data, but we had to pack up and move out of our house.
I was going through a bunch of my old contest files recently, and discovered
that individual band files had been created for that contest in my ARRL DX
directory! How they got there, I don't know. I was able to append them all
into a new log.dat file.
Here are some questions:
My appended file is still by band. How can I merge those QSOs so the QSO
numbers are what they were in the original log.dat file?
How can I run this log.dat to obtain my final score? I know the scoring has
changed since '93.
Is there an online archive of final scores anywhere that I could check to
see where I might have placed in the contest.
Thanks! Paul, K5AF, DA1AM
