Clipboard format for copied QSOs

(For advanced Windows users only)

After copying the QSO fields are present in the clipboard as tab-separated strings in the following order:
  • LM identification („@LM@")
  • Number of sent exchanged numbers (NoOfSent)
  • Number of received exchanged numbers (NoOfRcvd)
  • Number of multipliers (NoOfMulties)
  • Identification, if it is a QSO (=0), a sent (=1) or a received (=2) QTC
  • Number of comment lines (NoOfComments)
  • Date (day)
  • Date (month)
  • Date (year)
  • Time (HHMM)
  • Band (0=160m ... 8=10m ... 19=SAT)
  • Mode (0=CW, 1=SSB, 2=RTTY)
  • Call sign
  • Sent RST
  • Received RST
  • NoOfSent sent exchanged numbers
  • NoOfRcvd received exchanged numbers
  • NoOfMulties multipliers
  • Points
  • NoOfComments comment lines

    Example:
    QSO in the OK/OM-DX-Contest with OK1VD at 15.Nov.1998, 1041UTC on 40m CW, sent 599 37, received 599 FPA (multi), 1 point:

    @LM@  1  1  1  0  0  15  11  1998  1041  2  0  OK1VD  599  599  37  FPA  FPA  1

    Thus you may use the copy and paste functions as a simple interface to a spreadsheet (e.g. Excel). Just copy the QSO in LM and paste it in your spreadsheet. There you can delete not needed columns (e.g. 1..6).

    Excel tip: Before pasting the QSOs, select the complete Excel table and set all the columns to the property „Text only". If that is not done, Excel will misinterpret some pasted data.
