Auxiliary Log
The County-Hunting Mapper's 'Auxiliary Log' is a storage area for imported QSOs from external logging programs, or any program that can generate logs of contacts in the 'ADIF' or 'Cabrillo' format. For more information about logs in general, see this help-guide's 'Logs' section. To learn about importing a log into the County-Hunting Mapper, see this help-guide's 'Importing a Log' section. The 'Auxiliary' log tab displays the entries in the 'Auxiliary Log' database, after it has been parsed to extract data and look for errors. You will notice that the 'Main Log' tab-page has some columns with data that was not found in the original imported log: for instance 'State', 'Section', 'Grid', 'County', 'Cnty Frm', 'Lat', and 'Lon'. The data in these columns were generated when the log was examined, by taking into account the type of log, the type of contest, and the values found in the contest-exchange. Other data that may have been in the original log is not shown, because it is not pertinent to the way that the County-Hunting Mapper operates. When a column contains data-values for some QSOs but not for others, this means that the program was unable to find or make sense of the source-data that it was looking for.
For details about the column-contents in the 'Auxiliary Log', and how to change or access the data there, please see the 'Main Log' section in this help-guide.
Test Logs
The program is supplied with two pre-loaded sample logs - one uses the ADIF format, and the other uses the Cabrillo format. They are useful to experiment with, but please replace them with your own logs at any time.
In case you have deleted the sample logs, but wish to reload or examine them, you can find copies in your User Application Data folder. To access the User Application Data folder, type "%appdata%" in Windows Search, or in the Address Bar of the 'Windows Explorer' or 'My Computer'. Once there, click on 'Mapability > CountyHuntingMapper >test logs' to find them.
