Re: [WriteLog] ARRL SS - SSB Question

[George Johnson <w1zt@comcast.net>]

John,
WriteLog does not recognize information from packet spots in the "notes" 
portion of the spot.  That is where most people put state / province info 
during SS.  I keep the packet window open so I can see those 
notes.  Correspondingly, WriteLog then cannot highlight any needed sections 
for you automatically.

Before the SS weekend you should also review and set up filters with your 
packet spot source to filter out spots for stations other than W / VE and 
the 6 bands for the contest.  You can also set band limits to the SSB 
portion.  This will help manage the packet window but it will still be very 
crowded at times.

73 and GL,
George .. W1ZT
