[Dx4win] Name and QTH field again
I have been thinking of the Name and QTH fields and do suggest that they should work as the square and IOTA fields, i.e. be able to change without changing the previous. There are several station operating portable from various islands, summits, castles etc. it would be good to have that in the QTH. Operator names could change during DXpeditions and at club stations. There are some stations that I think never will be able to get right like GB7HQ that have been working within UK but both from England and Scotland during the IARU HF championships. I think the worked on different bands.

[Dx4win] SWL labels seems not working in 8.01
Hi to all, I want to add a SWL report (Ctrl + F2) and print a label but not report is saved and, of course, not label is printed. I clear all SWL labels and try again : same result. If I add the same SWL report without clearing SWL labels I get the message An SWL exists already do you ant to remove it?. If I answer YES on NO the result is the same : none report is saved and no label is printed. Any idea ? 73 Alain, F5LIW Grid : JN27oe REF # 41548 - ARRL # 10138941 - 10-X # 50408 __ 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

Re: [Dx4win] Name and QTH field again
Frankly I think it's folly to try and keep track of names and locations for these kinds of stations. If you copy forward the data always becomes questionable. That information belongs in QSO notes... that's what it's for. Note to Paul... if you ever even THINK of changing this... make it an configurable preference ;-) BTW, for Grid... it would be an interesting feature if we had a drop down list of grid squares previously logged for a station. Most VHF clubs tend to repetitively activate the same grids... wherever the highest local mountain is... at the bottom of the job jar though.

[Dx4win] Homecoming Scotland special prefixes for Amateurs in Scotland
From: ROBERT FERGUSON gm3...@btinternet.com Date: 2009/8/11 Subject: Homecoming Scotland special prefixes for Amateurs in Scotland 2009 is the year of “Homecoming” in Scotland . “Homecoming” is a year long celebration aimed at attracting the Scottish Diaspora as well as those interested in Scottish traditions to Scotland. Numerous events have been and will be held throughout Scotland this year. We thought that Amateur Radio in Scotland should play a part and are pleased to announce that Ofcom have agreed to special prefixes to be used by Radio Amateurs in Scotland until 30th November 2009. The prefixes will be GA, MA and 2A . The A replacing the M in your prefix (A to represent Alba the Gaelic name for Scotland). If you wish to use this prefix you must apply online at http://www.ofcom.org.uk/radiocomms/variation. The special prefixes will only be issued to Amateurs whose main residence is in Scotland.. 73 Rob GM3YTS Please pass this information to your local clubs -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ 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
Re: [Dx4win] Name and QTH field again
Frankly... I don't think Paul will be inclined to change this Mel. There is definitely a design philosophy behind Paul's approach to log program design. I think he aims for simplicity, performance and a focus on award chasing. His database design is definitely slanted towards not including unnecessary or redundant information in D4W. Generally I like his approach. There is another possibility which I know Paul has thought about... so just might show up eventually. It would be great to be able to store a note to print on a QSL card. This would be a place to put the club operator's name perhaps. The design issue here is where to store the QSL note. You can't really attach it to the Callsign table so it would have to be attached to the QSO table. But since this is not needed after the QSL is printed, it's not terribly efficient. It might require a new table like the SWL reports that are cleared after the QSL is printed. Also, the log form starts to get longer as you add stuff. As you see, even a simple feature starts to get complicated when you think about it... but this is something I would definitely use.

[Dx4win] V8 no works well with satellite
Hi all! I'm note that in the new V8 release it's not work properly with my sats qso's , when i'm find with F8 key all my sat qso's i'm look all qso's prior to the update , all the sats qso's introduced after the update in the V8 are listed correctly in the logbook but when you find with F8 only appers the imported qso's of the V7 version but I repeat the qso's in the logbook are ok , why ??? Also I edit an adif file and all satellites qso's in the band camp are listed as XXXM not as sat.When i'm export the log to BV7 all this qso's are marked as an WRONG BAND , if I export first with the W3ZJ Adif Processor , the adif processor reconizes this errors and change all this errors to SAT and after BV7 works well without errors.

Re: [Dx4win] More Bandmap Stuff
Lou, Some, maybe most, of what you want is there already but missing from the documentation: Mouse In frequency section: Single click: sets the red arrow to that location . When follow radio is enabled, the location will be reset with the next radio poll. (Note that zoom-in will use the red arrow as the new center) double-click: sets the radio frequency In spots section: Single click: Show spot info in various windows when adding in real-time and the callsign field is empty. Double-click: Grab the spot (sets radio frequency, start adding QSOs real-time, enters callsign and mode based on frequency. Ctrl + double-click: Delete the spot. --Paul, KK4HD Lou Dietrich wrote: All, There are a lot of poor spots announced on the cluster...for instance, calls sometimes have digits transposed...or are copied incorrectly and subsequently announced incorrectly (who me?!)
