hi Alan - I'm only just dipping my feet into this for the first time..
participants in the State QSO Party Challenge are supposed to post on 3830,
at least a QSO total for each SQP. So that means we'd need scoring.
Reference:

I understand there are other logging programs that can manage this at some
level. My search of past emails indicates that you basically need to
save/load a separate .wl file for each SQP, which is probably okay enough
for casual S&P.
I could imagine a generic module where you would check box the desired
SQPs, and then WL would spit out a scoring summary .txt file at the end
listing scores for each SQP, and a single Cabrillo file for log submission.
I'd consider doing it if I knew how to write a module for WL. 🙂 73 jeff
