Supported Contests Setup

When a contest has a specific mode (SSB, CW or RTTY) then the Mode Category is automatically changed to that mode. So when you select CQWWSSB for the CQ World Wide SSB contest the Mode Category will be set by the program to SSB. You can change this but that will give wrong Cabrillo output and maybe even erroneous behavior of the program, so don’t!!
If the selected contest doesn’t have a specific mode the program will set the Mode Category to MIXED.
If the radio is interfaced, its mode will be changed. The frequency is not changed; it is up to the user to ensure that the radio is tuned to the correct part of the band.

This is a contest program, but for general logging you can use DX as the selected contest. Dupes are allowed and an exchange is not necessary.
To import a contest into your regular logging program use ADIF export (and ADIF import in your general logging program).

When going through the possible contests you will see a “contest” DELETEDQS.
This is not actually a contest. QSOs deleted from other contests will be put in here by the program. This is especially important for multi-user support.

The maximum received serial number is 99999 (for serial number contests). Check out info about the serial number server in the Contest Setup Dialog chapter .Read the Contest Instructions!
Always read the instructions from the contest committee prior to the contest. Then you know how to set up the program, what exchange to give and what to expect in return, which hours to operate etc.

Examples of > and < dingbats

2019-10-01 The Anthologize Export-to-PDF plugin is unable to process less than “<” signs properly, resulting in busted pages in the exported document. Until that issue is resolved , the editors have been substituting the < and > dingbat characters on WordPress pages that require those symbols. Copy/paste the dingbats from the text below into your edited page. (NOTE: without the “” marks)

[greater than symbol] [less than symbol]
greater than symbol ” ❯ “, less than symbol ” ❮ “, ❮ ❯

Alert Boxes with shortcodes

Also you can change the icon size:

Shortcode attributes:

• types: info, success, warning, danger
• icon_sizes: normal, small, big, hide-icon

BG-Show-Hide Content Link Plug-In

This BG-Show-Hide plug-in will be used for the Macro definitions on various pages, but most important to replace the cumbersome external table currently being used. Examples follow:

The plug-in supports three presets for colors, fonts and behavior. See the >Plugins >BG Show Hide >Help for more info. You do not have to use the presets, but it makes things much easier to define the show/hide text and also allows global changes of all of them from a single setting.

To copy/paste large Show-Hide text document into WordPress page: 1. create a new “Classic” box of text. 2. Paste text into Classic box. 3. Define Classic box as a “Group”. 4. Change “classic” box to a Guttenburg block.

Inserting an anchor in a BG_COLLAPSE shortcode: precede the bg shorcode with “<p id=”AnchorName”></p>”

Show-Hide Presets

Function Keys: view=”link-list” ” icon=”arrow” color=”#023801″ collapse_text=” ” expand_text=

Supported Files List: view=”link-list” view=”button-blue” icon=”plus” collapse_text=”Show Less” expand_text=

Here is an example of the BG Show-Hide shortcodes used in preset1 = link

[bg_collapse_preset1 “{SAMPLE label in braces} Here is the text seen before expanding”]

{SAMPLE bold text label} Here is the expanded text that will be displayed after pressing the expanding arrow.[/bg_collapse] [bg_collapse_preset1 “{STACKANOTHER} Stacks additional callsigns in all modes”]

{STACKANOTHER} Macro to stack additional callsigns in all modes. Also check the keycombination CTRL+ALT+G More info and examples in the chapter: Single Operator Call Stacking
[/bg_collapse]

Here is an example of the BG Show-Hide shortcodes used in preset3 = link-list. Note single-spaced rows

Property ToolTipText(c As Control) As String
               Get
                      ToolTipText = Me.ToolTip1.GetToolTip(c)
               End Get
               Set(Value As String)
                      ToolTip1.SetToolTip(c, Value)
               End Set
        End Property
