<br>REMOTE command facility and issue the command TO all machines.<br><br>It should be mentioned that you should make sure that ALL machines are<br>online at the time you do this; for you will screw up your log if you<br>
test with that laptop the day before, and then connect the laptop after the<br>clearlog was done -- you will now sync the old test data into your live<br>log. While the time stamps make it easy to filter these QSOs later, you
<br>might have forgotten to work that mult as it was already in your log.<br><br>Also, advising for the autobackup facility to be turned off is a bad<br>idea. I suggest having it turned on on at least one or two stations,
<br>backing up to disk, with the timestamps turned on. That way, you can<br>recover (most of) your log, if for whatever reason the CLEARLOGNOW<br>command gets executed during the contest...<br><div class="Ih2E3d"><br>Mario
