How to generate a sprint log using fldigi

When operating in the sprint remember to log using the fields as shown below. Place the FH# in the notes section (and perhaps if the operator was using qrp or anything else (leprechaun, turkey etc.)), and the qth and grid locator in the appropriate section.

After the sprint select Logbook > Reports > Text and select the qso's made during the sprint and the selected fields for each qso as shown in the following image.

Then click OK, and save the text file with an appropriate name. When you open the text file, you may have to delete some "lines" and "spaces" to get the columns to line up, but all your information should be there. Your final text file should look like this. You can even combine the Provinces column into the STate column.
