Station Dialog

Your Station Dialog window will be similar to this one.

 

The information in this dialog is self-explanatory. Be aware that in order for the logger to calculate accurate beam headings, you will need to put your longitude and latitude into the appropriate fields. Also make sure that you enter your call as the station call sign. Many of the fields in this dialog are used when creating contests or during contests, so have them updated with with the correct values.

The ARRL Section entered and the State field are used in some cntests and QSO parties to determine if you are in or outside a state or province.
The Latitude and Longitude are used to calculate the distance and bearing to another station/country (for HF contests).
For VHF contests (having VHF in the contest name) the Grid Square field (4 or 6 digit) in the Station dialog is used as your bearing and not the entered Latitude and Longitude.
The Club normally has to be spelled out completely, so not YCCC but Yankee Clipper Contest Club (the dialog above is just a bad example!) to have it accepted (and counted) by the contest committee.
The e-mail address and SMTP server Address are being used for sending a bug report via e-mail. Your e-mail address and SMTP server address can be found in your e-mail program.
