Neil 2M0NCM figured it out after I sent some screenshots and logs. Thanks again Neil.
1- I had no idea there were different logs for activator and chaser- I just figured you have a basic .csv log and choose the appropriate upload when you send it to the DB.
2- I assumed a log was a log and the SOTA CSV Editor just made a log you would later upload either as an activator or chaser. The SOTA CSV Editor has (to me) an obtuse way of specifying whether it is to be an activator log or a chaser log. If you fill in “summit” it will be a chaser log, if you fill in “my ref” (huh?) then it will be an activator log.
I tested it after clearing the summit fields and filling in the “my ref” fields and it worked.
At least now I know how to utilize it in the future.
thx
