Hi Colin,
Thanks for the new contest logging serial number feature. One thing that would enhance this is use of the full timestamp 09:00:05 when logging qso's. At present the time appears to use short format e.g 09:00. When you are going well, you can log 4 contacts in one minute. Winlog then has trouble with keeping the correct QSO order as they all have the same timestamp (seems to revert to callsign alpha order?!). Don't have to display the full time but use it when ordering and in all ADIF outputs.
Thanks and 73 de Geoff ZL3GA

Hi Geoff

Thanks for the comments.

Unfortunately Winlog32 stores time as a string and it is limited to only four characters, in order to keep all Logs files compatible it would not be easy to change the format at this late stage.

I know this may present some problems in keeping correct QSO order in contests etc. but a work-around is to Order/Sort the Log by the 'QSONo' field, this will keep the Log ordered correctly where there was more than one QSO-per-minute.

Hope this helps (a little).

Hi Colin,
Welcome back!
Thanks for the reply. Yes, we'll go with the qso number field.
