Contest scores are not zero when starting a contest
Set the contest starting and ending dates so that
they encompass the dates for the contest. Go to the Contest menu, and select Rescore
Contest.
A note about the contest start and end dates.
They exist to keep previous contests separate from the current one. You may set the
starting date before the contest actually starts. This is necessary if you are
testing before the contest actually starts. Set the start date on or before the current
UTC date.
You may set the ending date way off in the
future so that you don't have to worry about it again. The reason LOGic 5 has a
contest end date is so that you can score previous-years' contests.
How do I set LOGic up to handle the new ARRL Sweepstakes rules?
The rules changes do not affect LOGic. The exchange field for this contest is not
edited and will accept any value. Simply log the precedence in the sweepstakes exchange
field as instructed in the description field of log/setup. For instance U71 is Unlimited,
first licensed in 71.
When I open a log form, I still see my data entered from my
normal default log form. How do I get a clean log to start a contest?
Everything is working normally. Opening another log form doesn't
open another database. It is possible to have multiple databases, but this is
done only for DX operations or QSL managers or family members sharing the same
computer.
You WANT the contest and non-contest QSOs in the same database
so that your awards progress tracking works (isn't it nice to know when you work
a new one during a contest?) and so that copy from previous QSOs will work. Many
contests can copy exchanges from previous year's contests.
LOGic keeps contests separate using the Contest ID and the contest start and
end dates entered in log/setup.
