[Dx4win] Log for second callsign
Trying to set up a completely separate log for an old call-sign of mine. Starting DX4WIN my call and name are already in [preferences] and can't be changed. How can I enter a new call - same name?

Re: [Dx4win] Log for second callsign
Hal, You can use group numbers and link a call to that. This way I maintain all my operations (more than 30) and can show a single log or all QSO's of all operations.

Re: [Dx4win] Log for second callsign
Hi, Hal Well, I know it can be done, because I've done it - at least in v. 8.05. My present call is K4OTV. That was the call I was originally issued in 1957. But I worked an awful lot of CW DX as N4BZX. I had to go the vanity call sign route to get my original call back. It's been a while, but I think that all I did was go into the File menu and open a second log for N4BZX. I now have both in DX4Win. I was able to merge them in LOTW. I don't remember changing any preferences - just opened a second log for N4BZX. Give it a try.

Have tried everyones' suggestions and not gotten where I would hope. I have no trouble setting up a new log, in this case called WA4BTC.DXL. I can save it and re-open it. But under preferences it still says N4GG and that cant be changed. Is suspect that is locked in via my license?

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Digest, Vol 112, Issue 20
Hal - I believe you are correct. I have many different log files and on the Personal Tab of the Preferences, they all say N7CW. It must refer to the license, but it doesn't show up anywhere else where it might interfere with logging operations (at least that I have ever found). 73, Bud On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 6:55 AM, Hal Kennedy hal...@comcast.net wrote: Have tried everyones' suggestions and not gotten where I would hope.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Digest, Vol 112, Issue 20
Hi, Hal Well, I just went into my N4BZX log, and it shows K4OTV in the preferences. I also found that it apparently can't be changed - maybe because I purchased DX4win as K4OTV? It's never caused me any problems, either in DX4Win or LOTW. I did import thousands of QSOs from an old N4BZX LogWindows log without any problem.

[Dx4win] Logging from two locations
I operate from multiple locations in different states using the same callsign and using DX4Win at each location. How can I merge the logs together and still know where I was operating for each QSO?

Re: [Dx4win] Log for second callsign
Hal, To be more precise on how I handle this, do the following. You have your current log which may be called MASTER or N4GG (whatever name you use). Assuming you have the other logbook already in an electronic format, create a new log (File | New) and give it a name (you can use the call sign for that log). Next you have to indicate the group number for the QSO's in this log. Go File | Preferences | QSO, and fill 2 in the Group field. I assume you have 1 for the first log. Next import all the QSO's into this log. Now you can handle the 2 different logs accordingly or you can merge the two logs. To do the latter, take the following steps: First open the first log (MASTER or N4GG in this example). Next: File | Import | and chose DX4WIN8 I/E and chose from the menu File | Import. Follow the next steps to select your file with the second log and import it. Save the log. Now go to the menu and chose Filter | Edit Group Names (look in the manual how to do this) and give a name to the group numbers. In your case 1 is N4GG and 2 is the other call. Once ready, you will have all calls in one log but you can see for which call the QSO is (assuming you have selected group field in your logbook report.

Re: [Dx4win] Logging from two locations
This answer applies to another question for a second callsign... Both you should work with groups. For example you can have group 1 for the location1 and group 2 for location 2. See more about groups in help file and in my notes here http://www.qsl.net/sv1dpi/en/dx4win/workinggroups.html Have in mind that working with selections you can separate dxcc totals between the groups or to have them all together (the default which is the normal in your case) 73 Kostas, SV1DPI Στις 21/8/2013 17:18, ο/η Bert Garcia έγραψε: I operate from multiple locations in different states using the same callsign and using DX4Win at each location.

Re: [Dx4win] Log for second callsign
Hal, The group numbers work out very well for me. As said, I do maintain all my DXpedition calls and PG5M contests in a single log, but using the group numbers to identify the respective call/contest. Now with incoming QSL's, I just type in the call and get all QSO's listed that I worked, regardless the DX-call or contest. Next I can confirm the respective QSO's. A the time of printing, I let the program also print the group number at the bottom of the label (this is a tick box in the QSL printing menu). Now all QSL labels come with the call associated with the group number. Example: You worked 3D2GM or You worked PG5M CQWWCW. With all the sheets with labels in front of me, I peel off the label and can see on what QSL card I have to stick the label. The benefit of this process is that you don't need to run label printing for each call sign. Especially when people send me QSL requests for different call signs, I can confirm in one go, instead of opening different logs/databases to check the different calls.

Re: [Dx4win] Log for second callsign
If you want to keep the logs completely separate, shouldn't you use two separate log files instead of one file with group numbers? Make a log for N4GG and another for WA4BTC? You would need separate keys, etc, for LoTW, but could merge the two (or more) files there for your DXCC. 73, Mike Cizek W3MC -Original Message- From: Gerben A.Menting - PG5M [mailto:p...@dx.to] Sent: Wednesday, 21 August, 2013 11:35 To: 'Hal Kennedy' Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Log for second callsign Hal, The group numbers work out very well for me. As said, I do maintain all my DXpedition calls and PG5M contests in a single log, but using the group numbers to identify the respective call/contest. Now with incoming QSL's, I just type in the call and get all QSO's listed that I worked, regardless the DX-call or contest. Next I can confirm the respective QSO's. A the time of printing, I let the program also print the group number at the bottom of the label (this is a tick box in the QSL printing menu). Now all QSL labels come with the call associated with the group number. Example: You worked 3D2GM or You worked PG5M CQWWCW. With all the sheets with labels in front of me, I peel off the label and can see on what QSL card I have to stick the label. The benefit of this process is that you don't need to run label printing for each call sign. Especially when people send me QSL requests for different call signs, I can confirm in one go, instead of opening different logs/databases to check the different calls.

To do the latter, take the following steps: First open the first log (MASTER or N4GG in this example). Next: File | Import | and chose DX4WIN8 I/E and chose from the menu File | Import. Follow the next steps to select your file with the second log and import it. Save the log. Now go to the menu and chose Filter | Edit Group Names (look in the manual how to do this) and give a name to the group numbers. In your case 1 is N4GG and 2 is the other call.

Re: [Dx4win] 'New' Log for second callsign
I have several logs in DX4WIN. It's so easy Under file, Click on 'new'. Enter one QSO. Save the 'new' log using 'Save AS' and assign it that callsign. A new .DXL file will be created as that call. Enter the rest of your Q's saving as you go. Don't forget to go back to your present call using the Open command under file. I have my standard DX4WIN W6KY.DXL Club call KK6XN.DXL and Novice log from the 50's as KN0OQA and K0OQA.DXL's Whenever I need to add WPX Q's (that rare KK6) tomy KK6XN log, I open up KK6XN.DXL and import. Then go back to my standard W6KY log. To me, using Group numbers to mix logs together just makes things difficult to manage. I only use Group numbers to identify contest. That way when I enter a call I'm about to work, (V73NS for exam) it shows all the Q's and what contest I have worked him is. 73, Art W6KY www.w6ky.com ..

Re: [Dx4win] Log for second callsign
I keep two separate logs, one for my home QTH and another for when I operate from the Philippines. Since these are two different DXCC CTY locations if I did not keep separate logs my DXCC, IOTA, etc tracking would be messed up because I might think I have a new CTY for K7ACZ that actually was logged as K7ACZ/DU. When I look in my SAVE sub folder I have my main log, K7ACZ.DXL and the other log I named DUlog.DXL. I can go back and forth by closing one and opening the other.
