Thanks to both Mike and Jerry for the fine explanation. I am sure that both Leif and I can live with that.
However, in Denmark Danish DX Club has this special list – see http://ddxg.dk/dxbandcountry_september2016.htm The text is in Danish but I will explain a little bit: The numbers below each band are worked and in () confirmed DXCCs. We do not use the DXCC rules about the CW date, so Leif was a little but surprised when he lost some DXCCs in CW mode when he upgraded to version 8.05. Leif wanted to upgrade to version 8, because he want register the 60 M QSOs in DX4WIN instead of paper log. I can’t see a workaround to count the DXCCs worked in CW mode no matter the QSO date with DX4WIN version 8. I guess that Leif has to calculate the CW QSOs in version 5 – or as I have suggested – work the missing CW QSOs again. 73 Joe, OZ0J Fra: Jerry N9AW [mailto:jerryn...@gmail.com] Sendt: 13. december 2016 21:05 Til: Mike Cizek W0VTT <mgci...@gmail.com> Cc: OZ0J Joe <cont...@oz0j.dk>; DX4WIN <dx4win@mailman.qth.net> Emne: Re: [Dx4win] Error in DXCC report - version 8.05 I think Mike gave an excellent explanation. The following comes from the DXCC Rules on the ARRL website: c) CW: Contacts must be made using CW since January 1, 1975. Confirmations for cross-mode contacts for this award must be dated September 30, 1981, or earlier. CW contacts dated December 31, 1974, or before, are credited as Mixed mode.

The award for CW only DXCC started on 1 January 1975, so only QSOs made after that date count. The CW DXCC award does not count individual bands. It only counts the number of countries (entities) starting on 1 Jan 1975 and it doesn't matter what band, or how many bands you have. I hoe this makes sense to you, and to Leif. If not, perhaps someone else can explain it differently. 73, Mike W0VTT -----Original Message----- From: DX4WIN [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net <mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net> ] On Behalf Of OZ0J Joe Sent: Tuesday, 13 December, 2016 13:52 To: 'DX4WIN' Subject: [Dx4win] Error in DXCC report - version 8.05 Hi I earlier got the information that CW QSOs before 1 January 1975 do not count for DXCC. Since that I have tried to help my friend OZ1LO to find out, whatever there is an error in the DXCC report in DX4WIN version 8.05. I have created a log with 2 QSOs on 80 M. Both QSOs are with CW mode and one QSO is BEFORE 1 January 1975 and one AFTER. When I run the DXCC report (Report -> DXCC) I get this result: MIXED 2 CW 1 80 M 2 Even when I run the DXCC report with these settings: DXCC summary or listing Mode = CW Band = 80M I still get: MIXED 2 CW 1 80 M 2 Why do I not only get the CW DXCC awarded QSOs here? Pictures of the report settings and result can be found at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2651703/dx4win-oz1lo.pdf How do I (or OZ1LO) get a report that ONLY show the valid CW DXCCs on each bands? Or is that not possible? 73 Joe, OZ0J ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net <mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net> This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net <mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net> This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
