The program CONTest was written to use in the vhf/uhf/shf contest during the season '86/'87 which I joined with the contest-group PE1DCY/P. The goal was to develop a program that was usable during real-world conditions. The characteristic features of CONTest are the so called "automatic input" which makes it possible to enter the data of a station in an arbitrary order and the fact that the program can recognize a call even if the station is /p /a etc. (this is a must to check for dupe : e.g. the program recognizes that the call pe1hrb is the same call as hb/pe1hrb/p) The program has been implemented in the TURBO pascal language. In previous versions of the program the user interface used the Dutch language. From now on (version 2.10) the English (or a "familiar" h.i.) language is used. However the program has been used during more than a season, both the program and the manual can not be perfect (and contain errors ==> see Murphy). Therefore I accept no responsibility for the use of this program. When you have any questions about the CONTest program, or when you found one of the errors, please write ! My mailing address is : Otto le Grand, PE1HRB Heimanslaan 5 6705 AD Wageningen the Netherlands tel. 08370 14618 Hope you enjoy it, good luck in the contest ! 73' Otto. CONTest users manual page 3. 1.1 FILES ON YOUR DISK. The following files should be present on the disk : 1) contest.com - The main program. 2) contest.msg - The helpfile for CONTest. 3) contmrg.com - Program to create new mergefiles. 4) mf.mrg - A mergefile. 5) manual.doc - This file. 1.2 REQUIRED EQUIPMENT. The CONTest program needs an IBM (compatible) PC with a PC-DOS or MS- DOS operating system version 2.11 or higher. The required memory space is : 1) memory used by your operating system + 2) memory used by contest.com + 3) 73 bytes for each logged qso + 4) 36 bytes for each merge-station in memory + 5) memory in use by other programs. Every qso logged on disk contains 73 bytes. remarks : 1) Turbo Pascal is a registered trademark of Borland international inc. 2) IBM and PC-DOS are registered trademarks of Internatio- nal Business Machines Corp. 3) MS-DOS is a trademark of Microsoft Corp. CONTest users manual page 4. 2 STARTING THE CONTest PROGRAM. After starting the program from DOS the following data must be ente- red : GMT : You have to enter the number of hours to GMT here. i.e. the difference between local time and GMT. e.g.1 : Your system-time is 12.00 The GMT is 10.00 --> You enter "2" e.g.2 : Your system-time is 10.00 The GMT is 12.00 --> You enter "-2" QTH-LOCATOR : You have to enter your own qth locator. Both the new and the "old" qth locator are supported. NUMBER OF BANDS : Here you have to specify the number of bands that you want to log on your pc. The maximum number of bands that can be logged on one pc is 8. NAMES OF DATAFILES : You must now specify the names of all your data- files. The file-extension is always .DAT even if another extension has been specified. It is not possible to enter a filename twice. The maximum length of a filename is 5 characters (without the extension). Beware : some filenames as con,lst,prn etc. can cause problems. If a file exists the data is read into memory otherwise a new file is created. MERGEFILE : CONTest has the option of using a so called "merge-file". The mergefile contains data of station worked in previous contests. The file-extension of a mergefile is .MRG, even if an other extension has been specified. If the use of a mergefile is desired the name of the file has to be specified now. If the file exists the data is read into memory. If the use of a mergefile is not desired just press <RETURN>. Now the data of all the specified files are read into memory. A counter counts the number of qso's that has be read from the file. As soon as the files have been read you are confronted with the main menu. CONTest users manual page 5. remarks : 1) It's practical to choose the names of the datafiles in accordance with the wave-length of the bands which are logged e.g. 23.DAT for twenty-three centimeters, 2.DAT for two meters etc. 2) If you want to continue with existing data, just enter the filename. the program automatically continues with the old data. CONTest users manual page 6. 3 THE STATUS LINE. On top of your screen you see the status line in reverse video. This line is shown in all menus, the online and the edit mode. From left to right you see : 1) The name of the mode. 2) The total distance of all qso's added together (points). 3) The average distance. 4) The filename which is currently active. To this file the qso's are written after they have been completed. 4 THE MAIN MENU. You can choose between : Online : After typing the <O> command you are in the online mode. This is the mode in which you add new qso's to a certain band. From this mode it is also possible to go to the edit mode and to give some useful com- mands. Logfiles : After typing the <L> command you move to the logfiles menu. In the logfiles menu you can create outputfiles to print. Next band : When you specified two or more bands to use on this pc, the <N> command moves you to the next band. The band which is currently active is shown in the status line. Previous band : When you specified two or more bands to use on this pc, the command moves you to the previous band. The band which is currently active is shown in the status line. Exit program : After typing <ESC> you have to confirm your choice to exit the CONTest program. CONTest users manual page 7. 5 THE ONLINE MODE. The online mode is the normal mode for this program. Here you add qso's to a band, edit them and can give some commands. Left of the prompt the qso number (serial number) is shown. In the status line and as a part of the prompt you see the band on which the qso's are logged. There are two ways of logging a qso in the online mode : 1) Automatic input. This is the common way of logging. Under normal conditions this is the only way of logging you will need. 2) Manual input. This can be useful to force certain data into the program when it's not accepted or wrong interpreted in the automatic mode. remarks : 1) Both methods can be used during one qso. So it's possible to log some items of a qso in the automatic input mode and the rest in the manual input mode. 2) Every qso is saved on disk directly when all data has been logged. In case of a power break no data is lost. CONTest users manual page 8. 5.1 AUTOMATIC INPUT. What an easy way to log a qso !! The only thing you have to do is to enter an item that should be logged. In this way it is possible to log : 1) A call. 2) A sent report. 3) A received report. 4) A qth locator. Enter : <data> After an item has been entered the program responds which type of input has been recognized. As you see : the order of logging the four items of a qso is irrelevant. A qso is completed when all four items as mentioned above are logged. As long as not all the items are logged it is possible to enter an item again if it has to be corrected. The last entered item is retai- ned. When a call is entered the program automatically searches whether this station is worked before. Strokes are ignored when the program searches for dupe. e.g. pe1hrb is the same call as hb/pe1hrb/p when it checks. remarks : 1) A sent report has to be entered without the serial number. This number is logged automatically. 2) The rules the program uses to recognize the four items of a qso are : 1) The entered data not recognized as anything else is a call. 2) Data which contain only numbers and has a maximum length of 3 characters is a sent report. 3) Data which contain only numbers and has a length of more than 3 characters is a recei- ved report. 4) Data that starts with two alphabetical characters, followed by two numbers, followed by one or two alphabetical characters is a qth locator. 3) The GMT and distance are logged automatically. 4) It is not possible to log a call twice. 5) The maximum input length is 14. e.g.1 : 001 filename > 59 filename > cl09a filename > 55001 filename > pe1hrb/a CONTest users manual page 9. 5.2 MANUAL INPUT. If the CONTest program recognizes the entered data not correctly in the automatic input mode, it's possible to force the data into the program. This is done as shown below. Enter : <input character> <blank> <data> The four input characters are : <C> : To enter a call. <S> : To enter a sent report. <R> : To enter a received report. <Q> : To enter a qth(locator). When data is logged in this way no checks are performed on the data, except on the call which still has to be unique. So now it's possible to enter "London" as qth and 59a as a report. ATTENTION : The distance is set to zero when a qth is logged in this way. remarks : 1) When a qth is logged the distance is set to zero. 2) All data after the blank is logged. 3) When the entered data is too long an error occurs. 4) The order of logging the items is irrelevant. e.g.1 : 001 filename > c pe1hrb/a filename > s 59a filename > r 57a001 filename > q delft e.g.2 : 002 filename > q cl09a filename > s 59a filename > r strong filename > c pe1dcy/p CONTest users manual page 10. 5.3 COMMANDS AVAILABLE IN ONLINE MODE. In the online mode you can give some commands to get special effects or to edit a particular qso. Enter : <command> Following commands are available in online mode : <E> : Edit a qso. After the command is given the program asks to enter the call or the serial number of the qso that you want to edit. If one of these has been entered correctly the program moves to edit mode. Now you can edit following items : 1) The call. 2) The sent report. 3) The received report. 4) The qth(locator). 5) remarks field (option). <L> : Edit last completed qso. After the command is given the programs directly moves to edit mode, editing the last completed qso. Now you can edit the same items as mentioned above by the <E> command. <CE> : Edit all data of a qso. After the command is given the program asks to enter the call or the serial number of the qso that you want to edit. In addition to the items you can edit with the <C> and the <L> command you can also edit : 6) The distance. 7) Crossband. 8) GMT. <C> : Cancel qso. e.g when you have entered some items of a station but you are not able to complete the qso. After the <C> command has been given you can start again with all details for a new station. Just try to see what happens ! <X> : Exit online mode. With the <X> command you go back to the main menu. <N> : Next band. Exactly as in the main menu, with the <N> command you go to the next band (if there is more than one band). In the status line you can see which band is currently active. : Previous band. Exactly as in the main menu, with the command you go to the previous band (if there is more than one band). In the status line you can see which band is currently active. CONTest users manual page 11. <SC> : Search for call in MergeFile. If there is a mergefile specified this command searches for a call in it. Useful when Direct search is switched off. For more details see chapter 8 about the use of the mergefile. <SQ> : Search for locator in MergeFile. If there is a mergefi- le specified this command searches for a qth locator in it. Useful when Direct search is switched off. For more details see chapter 8 about the use of the merge- file. <D> : Direct search on/off. With this option you can specify whether it is desired that the program searches the mergefile directly for calls and locators. For more details see chapter 8 about the mergefile. <DX> : Print best dx on screen. <GMT> : Print GMT on screen. <TIME> : Print system-time on screen. <DATE> : Print system-date on screen. <CLS> : Clear screen. <?> : Lists the helpfile on your screen. HELP gives you for example a list of all these commands. remarks : 1) A command must also be terminated with a <RETURN>. 2) When the current active band is the last specified band and the <N> command is given, the program moves to the first band. The opposite happens for the first band and the command (the programs turns around in a circle). CONTest users manual page 12. 6 THE EDIT MODE. From the online mode you could go to edit mode by giving the <E>, <L> or the <CE> command. In case of the <E> and <CE> command you also had to give a call or serial number to edit. In the edit mode you are able to edit all logged data of a qso except the serial number. Special key functions in edit mode : <ARROW> keys : With the arrow keys you can select the data to edit. <RETURN> : Moves the edit-field one position down. This has the same result as giving an <DOWN-ARROW>. <ESC> : Pressing <ESC> leaves the edit mode ignoring all changes you made in this mode. So all data as logged in online mode is still stored. <END> : Pressing the <END> key (often found on the numeri- cal key pad) you leave the edit mode and all changes are saved now. <INS> : The <INS> key switches between insert and overwri- te mode. In the right corner of your screen you see which mode is active. Default the overwrite mode is used. <DEL> : Deletes the character under the cursor. In the edit mode it is possible to force data into the program. When the type of data is not in accordance with the field an warning or an error occurs. In case of an error it is not possible to leave the field before the error has been corrected. Again it is not possible to log a call twice. If you went to edit mode by giving the <CE> command you are able to edit a "crossband" field. The only possibilities to enter are <Y>es, <J>a and <N>o. Default this field is set to "N". when you set this field to "Y" the distance of the qso is divided by two. remarks : 1) When the edit-field is positioned at the bottom field and <RETURN> or <ARROW-DOWN> is pressed, the edit mode is left with save of all changes. 2) If an illegal qth locator is logged the distance is set to zero. 3) If a qso is specified to be crossband, the distance is divided by two. CONTest users manual page 13. 7 CREATING LOGFILES. In the main menu you choose <L>ogfiles. Now in the logfiles menu you can choose between : Alphabetical outputfile : To create a file sorted alphabetically on the call of the logged stations. Stations are sorted on the call, so e.g. hb9/pe1hrb/p is found under "P". An alphabetical outputfile always has the extension .ABC. The name of the file is the same as the name of the datafile from which a logfile is created. Chronological outputfile : To create a file with the stations sorted in order of which they have been worked. The chronological outputfile always has the extension .OUT. The name of the file is the same as the name of the datafile from which a logfile is created. Display outputfile : To display an outputfile just created by the <A> or <C> choice. Format outputfile : To set the number of qso's on a page and to set the pagelength. Print outputfile : To print an outputfile just created by the <A> or <C> choice. Specify coversheet : To specify a coversheet. The coversheet is the first page of your log. Here the name of the first operator, total score etc. are specified. The entered data is stored in a file with the same name as the corresponding datafile. The extensi- on of a coversheetfile always is .KOP. Exit logfiles : After typing <ESC> the logfiles menu is left and the program returns to the main menu. remarks : 1) On the data entered to specify a coversheet no syntax checks are performed. 2) When The <D>isplay or rint choice is made the program asks you which, the alphabetical or the chrono- logical, file to display/print. If <ESC> is pressed the program returns to the logfiles menu. 3) If you choose the <A> or <C> command the program ask you if you want a coversheet above your file. If you want, a coversheetfile must be present on the disk. If CONTest users manual page 14. a coversheetfile is not present the outputfile is created without a coversheet. 4) If the total of valid qso's is not equal to the total number of qso's, you have to modify the coversheet by an editor. CONTest users manual page 15. 8 THE MERGEFILE. CONTest supports the use of a so called "mergefile". This file con- tains information about stations worked in previous contests. The CONTest program can search for some items in this data. The advantages of a mergefile are only available in the online mode. 8.1 HOW DOES IT WORK ? When you started the CONTest program you could specify the name of the mergefile. Remember that a mergefile always has the extension .MRG (On the original disk the standard mergefile mf.mrg is present). When a file has been specified the data of stations worked in previous contests is read into memory. When you are in the online mode you can use this data. There are two items the program can search for : 1) A call. 2) A qth locator. In the online mode : You enter a call : Now the program searches in the mergefile. Two thing happens now : 1) If the call is in the mergefile all the data about this call is printed on your screen right of the entered call. From left to right you see : 1) The call as logged the previous time. 2) The qth locator as logged the previous time. 3) The bands the station has been worked on in the past. 2) On top of your screen (below the status line) two extra lines appear. 1) On the upper line all calls, which are in the mergefile, with the same suffix as the entered call are printed. 2) On the lower line all calls which are worked during the actual contest and having the same suffix as the entered call are printed. You enter a locator : Now the program searches in the mergefile. On top of your screen (below the status line) two extra lines appear. 1) On the upper line all calls, which are in the mergefile, whose qth locator is the same as the locator of the entered call are printed. CONTest users manual page 16. 2) On the lower line all calls which are worked during the actual contest and which qth locator is the same as the locator of the entered call are printed. remarks : 1) If there are to many calls to print on the extra lines on top of your screen, some calls are not printed. 2) If the program searches on qth locator, it is possible you miss some calls which you expected to be in that locator. The reason is some rounding errors in conver- ting the old to the new locator or vice versa. CONTest users manual page 17. 8.2 THE <D> COMMAND. If the used mergefile is very large, the response time of CONTest increases. If you find the program to slow as it is searching in the mergefile, you can switch the search procedure off. This is done in the online mode by giving the <D> command. This command specifies if direct search is switched on/off. After the command has been given the program prints the actual status of this command. To set direct search on again, just give the <D> command again. If direct search is swit- ched off the program searches only in the data of the actual contest. 8.3 THE <SC> AND <SQ> COMMANDS. To search in the mergefile, if direct search is switched off, two commands are available : <SC> : Search Call. When a call is specified the program searches in the merge- file. The results are the same as when direct search was on. <SQ> : Search Qth. When a qth locator is specified the program searches in the mergefile. The results are the same as when direct search was on 8.4 CREATING A NEW MERGEFILE. With the separate program CONTmrg.com you are able to generate a new mergefile. There are two possibilities : 1) Create a new mergefile. 2) Add new stations to an existing mergefile. After starting the program from DOS you have to enter : Name DataFile : The Calls from this file are added to the MergeFile. The DataFile always has the extension .DAT. Band : Here you enter the band on which the qso's of the DataFile are made. If you just press <RETURN>, the stations are not marked with a band. Name old MergeFile : If you want to add the stations of the DataFile to an existing MergeFile, you enter the name of this old MergeFile. The extension always is .MRG. If you want to create a new MergeFile, just press <RETURN>. CONTest users manual page 18. Name new MergeFile : To this filename the data is written. The extension always is .MRG. remarks : 1) If a call is present in the DataFile and in the old MergeFile, the new MergeFile contains the data of station as logged in the DataFile (the MergeFile always contains the latest details). 2) If the band is 1.5 cm you enter 15 for the band. 3) As e.g. a station in the old mergefile was only active on 70 cm, and now the datafile you add to this mergefi- le is specified to be a 23 cm band datafile, in the new mergefile the station is "active" on both the 70 and 23 cm band. CONTest users manual page 19. 9 RECORD FORMATS. In this chapter the record formats as used in the TURBO pascal imple- mentation of CONTest are shown. 9.1 THE RECORD FORMAT OF THE DATAFILE. The record format of a .DAT file is shown below : record tijd : string[5]; prefix : string[4]; suffix : string[4]; strook1 : string[4]; strook2 : string[7]; ontvangen : string[7]; verzonden : string[3]; volgnummer : integer; qth : string[6]; qrb : integer; crossband : boolean; commentaar : string[15]; next : ^.DAT record; { a pointer } end; 9.2 THE RECORD FORMAT OF THE MERGEFILE.
