Jeff,

I received your RU log, thanks.

Without any testing done yet, I have located the cause of the inconsistent B4 reporting. It is due to the mode logged as "DG" rather than "FT4". JTAlert would never find FT4 worked B4 QSOs which are logged as "DG". That is not a mode JTAlert is looking for. I note that you have a mixture of "FT4" and "DG" logged for the contest.

   

This looks like a N3FJP setup issue to me.

If "DG" is an acceptable mode for the N3FJP contest loggers then I will have to extend JTAlert to look for that mode when doing B4 checks. I am reluctant to do that at this time since your log has a mix of modes which may be a setup issue or a problem within the logger. I will wait and see.

FYI, I can note for you that the RU contest
Cabrillo file submission wants RY for RTTY
contacts and DG for all other digital contacts.

2.4 In the Cabrillo formatted log, RTTY contacts use RY and
all other digital modes use the DG
mode abbreviations.

I don't know if these get put into the ADIF log file,
but that's basically where the DG comes from.

Would that be RTTY perhaps?

Don't know. If it is the case than the JTAlert B4 options need to be set to "ignore mode" in order to avoid dupes when a previous QSO was logged as DG and JTAlert not picking them up when the mode is FT4.

Will Cabrillo convert an FT4 to DG from a log that logged a QSO as FT4? If so, that's were I went wrong because I used the option in N3FJP'S RTTY RU to log contacts as DG immediately in the log during the contest.

Without checking the N3FJP software ... it *should* record the QSO with
the mode that was used on the air and *export* FT4/FT8 QSOs as DG for
the Cabrillo file.  ADIF exports should use <MODE:3>FT8 for FT8 and
<MODE:4>MFSK<SUBMODE:3>FT4 for LotW.  In any case the log should have
the correct mode *NOT* DG/RY.
