Tony, How is it remotely possible for a computer program to know if your confirmations are on the same card? You have three bands to submit from P5. Are they on the same label (need to be sorted last in your submission), or are they on three separate cards (sorted with the single band groups)? Unless Paul were to write a brand new routine, and the users were willing to track this stuff, it's absolutely impossible for the program to do this. (I'm certainly no expert on other logging programs, but I'd seriously doubt that any of the others can do this task either.) As to forms/lists being used, you will absolutely have to have the forms for field checking. How else is there a record to take back to the DXCC Desk? If you mail your cards to Newington, the Qs are entered directly, negating the need for the form. 73, Steve In a message dated 2/16/2005 7:29:01 P.M. Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Thanks for all the replies. They are appreciated. I guess DX4WIN has never had the ability to sort cards with more than 1 QSO for DXCC submission. They need to address this issue in the next revision. I was chastised at the Orlando Hamfest because of the cards being out of order. Bill Moore, ARRL DX Branch Manager, was sitting in the next chair checking another submission he said and I quote "If DX4WIN does not want to follow the ARRL procedures to submit cards then we will not allow their submissions." The other ham was also using DX4WIN. He also was told to properly sort the cards. I bought the program to log my QSO's and also do the submissions. By not properly sorting the multiple QSO's on the DXCC submission list is useless. Exporting and resorting the QSO's is what I expected the program to do. On both of my DXCC submissions the card checker DID USE THE LIST. Even Bill Moore used the list. Those trying to be helpful telling me the list is not used please call the ARRL DX desk 860-594-0234 and speak to Bill yourself. The ARRL Website has a two page DXCC submission form, DXCC AWARD APPLICATION and DXCC Record Sheet. If they weren't going to use them I doubt that they would still be on the website. Both checkers said "follow the list when submitting!" "The cards must be in this, pointing to the top paragraph of the DXCC Record Sheet, order. First come the single cards in order then the multiple QSO's cards. The multiple cards go to the bottom of the pile."
