sqlite3 is surprisingly potent even when handling 200Mb db files on my resource limited server that only has 266MHz PowerPC with 128Mb RAM. If you have any programming ability then I’d suggest rolling your own using a modern scripting language (python or perl) driving a lightweight database like sqlite3. It’s only when you look deeper you realise the number of niggles there are to solve. Having always used a paper log book until I had to start using the SOTA database I was always surprised at the sheer number of logging programs that exist. Interesting to see other people had similar ideas but replacing python with perl. I saw Colin’s request for a log book for Linux and my immediate thoughts were python and sqlite3 with either tk or fltk for the graphics. WriteLog All versions since 10.59 (released in March 2006) support 7QP.(perl, and runs in an xterm, using sqlite3 or mySQL, but no updates since Sept

#How to correct log entries in n1mm logger software
The popular N3FJP software package is very affordable, easy to use, and compatible with the other QSO parties going on during the hectic weekend! Go here to get more information and to download the latest version: 7QP QSO Party Log 2.8.ĭownload the appropriate configuration and multiplier files: non-7th-area stations use 7QP.cfg and 7QP.dom 7th-area-stations use 7QP-W7.cfg and 7QP-W7.dom. N3FJP Logging Program ( N3FJP website) has long had a 7QP module and has been upgraded recently. SD is now a shareware product, but the quality of support and development is excellent. "Enter Send Messages" mode is now supported, like CT, N1MM, and TR. SD from EI5DI SD has excellent support for 7QP. Go here for more information and downloads for TR4W. Pretty cool.įor detailed information on setting up N1MM for operating 7QP (or other QSO Parties), go here. When you change your county it clears the dupe log allowing you to work everyone again. It allows a mobile to change all the F-key messages at once by including the macro. For mobile operators, N1MM has a ROVER category. ORCRO/WHE and N1MM automatically logs it as two QSOs. For stations operating on a county line, copy their exchange as e.g. For example, if W1YK sends WORMA as his exchange, you log it as WORMA and it is automatically parsed as MA for 7QP purposes. It lets you log what they send and have it count for all. While the above deals with someone NOT inside either of the three areas, N1MM is also useful to any of the inside 7QP participants who might also want to send their logs to the other two parties. However, you can submit this all-in-one cabrillo log to the 7QP, InQP and the NEQP. The scoring won't be correct, because you're logging all QSOs in the same log. If you are outside one of the three QSO party areas, selecting the QSO party called "IN7QPNE" will allow you to work counties in any of the three QSO parties (7QP, InQP and NEQP) and log them using N1MM Logger.
Changing logs each time you find a station working one of "the other" QSO parties is cumbersome. Other logging systems do not let you operate in all three at the same time. THREE major QSO parties are all on the same weekend - the 7QP (7th Call Area QSO Party), the Indiana QSO Party and the New England QSO Party. N1MM+ is the only program with features that permit operating on the 7QP weekend with its multiple QSO parties all going at the same time. For N1MM information and downloads go to the N1MM site. The #1 logging program, used by 70% of 7QP participants. They are listed in order of recommended use.
The following logging programs support the 7QP.
