New RAC sections in RUMped
Posted: Thu 30. Oct 2014, 16:43
Since last year the old ON (Ontario) RAC section has been replaced by four new sections: GTA (Great Toronto Area), ONE (Ontario East), ONN (Ontario North) and ONS (Ontario South) (http://www.arrl.org/news/rac-announces- ... reviations). The coming ARRL Sweepstakes require the recognition of these four new RAC sections. In order for RUMped to correctly identify them, what seems to have worked for me (no guaranties implied!), was to modify the “Multilist” Key in the “ARRL Sweepstakes.plist” (found in the “Plugins” folder within the RUMped folder) in the following way:
In the Rumped folder, open the “Plugins” folder and find the “ARRL Sweepstakes.plist file”. Copy it for backup and then open it with the “Property List Editor” (just by clicking on it). Go to the “Multilist” Key and expand it. With the “Multilist” Key highlited, click on the symbol at the end of the row. This will add a new empty “item”. Click on “String” and change it to “Dictionary”, Expand the new “item” and click on the symbol at the end of the row, edit the two fields: enter “Short” in the first and “GTA” in the last, click on the “+” at the end of the row and edit the two new field by entering “Long” and “Great Toronto Area”. Minimize the new item, highlight again the “Multilist” Key and repeat the operation to complete the remaining three sections:
Short: ONE, Long: Ontario East
Short: ONN, Long: Ontario North
Short: ONS, Long: Ontario South
Minimize “Multilist Key” and Save the file. Now RUMped should recogize the new four sections when entered as part of the exchange in each new QSO.
