Re: [Dx4win] Groups
Jay, Under File, Preferences, Personal tab, User Level - you must have selected at least Advanced (Expert will work also). Then File, Save Changes and close and re-start the program. You may want to change back to the Regular user level after you do that, so you don't screw too many things up while you are re-learning the program (it's the voice of experience).

Re: [Dx4win] exporting log
Dwayne, That makes it very easy. In the log entry window, under the LoTW menu, select Export to LoTW. This will open a window for you to name and save the file. Make sure you know where you put it. You may chose to clear the upload flags or not. The file you saved is an ADIF file, that TQSL can handle directly. A couple hints - you must have the LoTW flag set in order for QSOs to show up in the ADIF file. You can use filters to select whichever QSOs you want and then set the LoTW flag in the same menu selection.Once you generate the ADIF file - if you screw something up and want to create a new ADIF file - you must clear the upload date and reset the upload flag (both in the same menu) before it will let you re-make the ADIF file. Good luck. 73, Bud N7CW On Thu, Sep 18, 2014 at 4:07 PM, Dwayne 8...@telus.net wrote: Tnx for the reply Bud..

I'm still working on this - it's been a HUGE project. Even though the work to identify differences is automated, resolving those differences takes time. It takes an average of 2-5 minutes for each one, including research, discussion with G3PMR, then actually making changes (if needed). This doesn't include time spent looking into new information we discover along the way. So given I've found at least 300 such differences so far, that adds up to between 10-25 hours of continuous work, if I had that kind of time. And I'm only up to the J callsigns at this point, so K-Z still lie ahead. If there's a rush to push out a new country file due to the recent IOTA changes, I can do that.

Re: [Dx4win] On-Going Annual country totals
Steve, Every time you start DX4Win, you have to go to Filter, Selection and choose 2014. The QSOs in the original Selection do show up in the Other QSOs window. The Reports only cover the Selection you have chosen. My suggestion is to make the original Selection include ALL QSOs (including 2014). Then you can easily see Reports covering all your QSOs and only 2014. When you select 2014, the cluster alerts will be based on your 2014 needs - be prepared for a lot of alerts! :) I think the Selection capability is one of the most powerful options in DX4Win and, not to restart an old thread, it is one that DXLab does not have. 73, Bud N7CW On Thu, Jan 9, 2014 at 5:10 PM, GW4BLE steve.gw4...@btconnect.com wrote: Thanks Bud, and Jim.

[Dx4win] Updates - My LoTW Opinion and a Question
Relative to LoTW improvements: One of the great features of DX4Win is it's ability to handle multiple logs, whether they are DXpeditions, grid expeditions or just a club call. Using the Groups and Selections choices, they can be combined or separated easily. LoTW requires that some of these logs be signed (by TQSL) individually (for example, an operation from a different grid square). I believe that any attempt to reduce the number of clicks to shorten the LoTW upload process will degrade this feature. Incorporation of additional information from LoTW in the download process is a great idea, although I think LoTW is not a mature system and waiting until it settles out has some merit (the recent upgrades to TQSL are an example). I can handle a couple extra clicks for a while longer. My question: Can someone explain the XML interface to QRZ.com? Is this is an automated download of address or similar information? In my experience, much of the information in QRZ.com is poorly formatted and occasionally just plain wrong. If you only work USA stations, it is pretty consistent, but not so for DX stations. Help me out Thanks, 73 and HNY to everyone.

Re: [Dx4win] contest mode
Hi Bill, In order to make this work, you must fill in all the information in the box that pops up when you select Contest Mode - including the date and time (which has to be before you start entering QSOs), the Contest Mode Enabled box must be checked and the text you want added must be entered. The sequence number appears in the line right below the program menu bar (which says File, Radio, Help). It can be sent as part of a CW message by using the appropriate macro in the CW Keyboard. The Text for QSO appears in the Notes for this QSO field in the Log Window after you enter the QSO - that is, you have to go back and look at it. Don't forget you can Disable Fields in the QSO Menu so that the cursor hops only to the fields you want to enter. Selection and Edit Group Names are a function of your user level. But in order to update the user level, you have to close and restart the program. Hope that helps. 73, Bud N7CW On Tue, Jul 2, 2013 at 2:02 PM, William McEachern wmce...@yahoo.com wrote: When I enable contest mode, nothing happens.

Re: [Dx4win] DX Spots in color
Pat - the smartass answer is Work them! Easier said than done for sure. You may have a 6M QSO accidentally entered as C5 or TK. Try Filtering (F8) on C5 (after hitting F8, put your cursor in the Prefix window and hit F1. Type The and select The Gambia) and filter on 6M (move your cursor into Band and select 6m). The hit Enter. Any 6M QSO for C5 will show up in the log entry window. Sorry if this is over-explained.

Re: [Dx4win] LOTW Support
Snip Since we all have opinions, I guess I will put mine out there. I like the LoTW interface. I have a significant number of logs from different locations in my master DX4Win log and each has to be treated differently by TQSL. So an automatic upload doesn't make sense to me. The number of clicks is so small now as to be trivial. The easy ability to handle logs from different locations and to generate reports that either combine or ignore those locations is also a plus. A number of years ago, I looked at the DXLab Suite and there was no way to handle this issue - perhaps it has changed now. But when I politely queried the author about a way to handle my problem, I received a very short, very curt reply - Not now and Not ever. That ended any chance of my switching to his software. My occasional off the record inquiries to other ops about the DXLab Suite have resulted in comments similar to what Dave, N4QS wrote. I know there are a number of folks that swear by it. It's great that we have so many choices and I really hope that Paul continues to support it, even at the level he is supporting it now. I understand all of the requests made by Lou, N2TU (although I don't agree they are all enhancements) except the handling of CW Skimmer. Can someone explain to me what that is about? And lastly, along with the other comments, I have to say a huge THANK YOU to Jim for all his support over the years. 73, Bud N7CW __ 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] Stay Alive
Hi Alan, Use a text editor to edit the dx4win.tcp file. Add a | (above the \ on my keyboard) and a number to the end of the line on your favorite Telnet connection.

Re: [Dx4win] Building Export File for LOTW
I believe DX4Win checks both the Upload Flag and the Upload Date before uploading.

Re: [Dx4win] Creating a Group within a Group
Hey Fred, One way to do this is to use Selections. You can name Selections just like groups and then specify which groups are in each Selection. I have one Selection named All QSOs and another named Prescott. Groups 0 - 43 are my QSOs from San Diego (I use the groups to represent contests - which seems pointless now) and Selection 2 contains groups 44 - N as my QSOs from Prescott. One advantage of this procedure is that I can check awards by Selection - that is, Selection 1 gives me an overall DXCC, while Selection 2 gives me a DXCC just for Prescott. Let me know if you want more info on Selections. 73, Bud N7CW On Tue, Mar 20, 2012 at 6:25 PM, Fred - NA2U cw...@juno.com wrote: Is it possible to create a group within group?

Re: [Dx4win] Q: How to put Skimmer AND (telnet) packet spots in the spots window?
One easy way is to log onto a Telnet cluster that has the Skimmer spots in it's output by default. N7AZ.net does this. One problem I have with this scenario: I use the packet filtering in DX4Win so that only spots from zones 3 and 4 are checked against the log. I assumed that 80% of the time, I won't be able to hear the same guys as you East Coasters. Since DX4Win deletes earlier spots for the same call, when T6AA is spotted by a west coast station and then immediately spotted again by an east coast Skimmer, the spot is grayed out and the alarm doesn't go off. So I miss it - this happens a lot! My final solution is that when I am in the shack but not tuning, I use a cluster without Skimmer spots. When I am at the radio and tuning, I use a cluster with the Skimmer turned on. 73, Bud N7CW On Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 3:34 PM, Eric Rosenberg ericrosenberg...@gmail.comwrote: How can I have both Skimmer AND telnet packet spots in the spots window?

Re: [Dx4win] Just Joined - Update
Without verifying the problem myself, I believe there are 2 issues. First, as has been explained here, TQSL must be set up properly. Second, the ADIF import from N1MM into DX4Win is not very complete. Jim, AD1C, has solved this problem with his program, ADIF2DXQ. See http://dx4win.ad1c.us/adif2dxq/index.html . Although it is an extra step in the N1MM to DX4Win import process, I have found it very valuable. It fills in almost all of the information that is normally missing. One other thought - when you download and import the LoTW file into DX4Win, a file named lotwreport.notfound is generated. You can look at this file from within DX4Win (use LoTW, Review QSOs not found). If there is mis-matched information between the LoTW file and your log, there will be an X in the far left column. You can review the issues and fix them, if you want. However, I'm not sure this will happen if the state is missing from either the LoTW file or the log. Please let us know if you find something else. 73, Bud N7CW On Tue, Jan 17, 2012 at 8:27 AM, Bill McDowell k4...@earthlink.net wrote: I am one of the stations Rick contacted about missing State Info.

Only my call (K4CIA) and United States of America will show in the QSO detail. My TQSL file has all the correct information, but it does not transfer to a QSO from the imported N1MM files. QSOs from my normal DX4WIN QSOs show the proper Detail...state/zone, etc. No idea why but maybe some of you smarter guys can figure it out and post a fix.

Re: [Dx4win] Just joined
Hi Rick, I think I understand your question - your LoTW downloads come back without a state specified for the station that you worked? If so, that is a function of each person's LoTW setup and not of the logging program. It is done in the TQSL program. I would suggest that you write a very simple tutorial that explains how to update your state, grid, county zone, whatever, in TQSL and send it to those people. You might get a 10% improvement on your LoTW returns :) 73, Bud N7CW On Sun, Jan 15, 2012 at 6:57 PM, Rick Arzadon n8x...@yahoo.com wrote: Initially joined the DX4WIN Yahoo group.

Re: [Dx4win] QSL Labels for Multiple Calls
Yes, but I am already using the group numbers to divide up my log in other ways - by contest, for example. Another option would be to start the group numbers over with each Selection, so they could have different names. The other problem I have is that award tracking is based on Selections, with a subset of Groups. This is very nice for tracking awards if you have changed locations - for example, I moved from California to Arizona a few years ago. My DXCC totals move with me, but my VUCC totals do not. So by making a Selection for Arizona (and the default is All QSOs - which combines both California and Arizona), I can easily separate those awards. But if I make my other logs as different Selections (or Groups), they will affect my award totals. I still think I need the Greeting to be changeable with the log 73, Bud N7CW On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 12:47 PM, Kostas Stamatis sv1...@otenet.gr wrote: Even you have not all your calls under same database you can name every group in your log with the name you want to print into your qsl labels... and print it... for example group 1 like KM08HR SV1DPI/8 so when i print (my way) i will have this printed.

Re: [Dx4win] Working with LoTW
Hi Charlie, Unfortunately, you have found at least one of those updating areas. For vers. 8, if you want your default QSO to be entered with the LoTW Upload flagged checked (that is, every QSO will be uploaded to LoTW), you should go to Preferences, QSO and check the LoTW box under Label/Upl Flag. If you only want some QSOs to be uploaded, you can do that several ways. You can set a date filter (pick a date range), or filter by all JA QSOs, or whatever, then under the LoTW menu, select Set LoTW Upload Flag. Once you have the flags set, you can select LoTW, Export for LoTW and follow the steps in the program.

[Dx4win] Invalid QSO Counted for Award
After generating a 6M WAS Submission report, I found a couple of cards that wouldn't pass the checker's scrutiny. So to keep them from being included in the Submission, I put an I in the box representing the Band and WAS awards at the bottom of the main log window. However, the program continued to count those QSOs toward the award - changing the I to an S. I eventually worked around the problem by changing the confirmation to No, generating the Submission report and then changing it back (I will eventually need it for grid squares). Doesn't the I stand for Invalid and shouldn't it prevent that QSO from being used for the appropriate awards? Is there an easier way to do this?

Re: [Dx4win] Fw: Creating New Log from Existing Log
Fred, I am going to disagree with Dave (which I can do, because we go back to before the beginning of time) and suggest that you create a new Selection. You can do this in the Filter menu. You will want to enter the date of your move to AZ and then check both Group Filter and Date Filter. This gives you the advantages that Dave described, but allows you to add Groups within your new Selection, so you can keep track of contests or other operations that have occurred or will occur since you moved. Everything else Dave says is correct. But the use of the Selection makes the group function even more powerful. BTW, the default Selection is All QSOs. When you choose that one, your reports will be based on every QSO in the log. If you make a new Selection, when you choose it, your reports will only be based on the QSOs in that Selection. It is very easy to compare your new AZ results with your overall results. I did this when I moved to AZ from CA a few years ago. 73, Bud N7CW -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Dave Perry N4QS Sent: Monday, September 27, 2010 8:47 PM To: DX4WIN Reflector Subject: [Dx4win] Fw: Creating New Log from Existing Log Fred, I would create a group within your log for you new QTH. Just go to Filter, Selection and create a new Group Filter. That way you can see all the contacts with a given call that you made prior to AZ as well as from your new QTH. This is especially handy if you keep the Same Call and Logbook windows open when using DX4WIN. The Same Call window shows the group name for every contact. You can rename groups to make them easier to recall. Just to go Filter, Edit Group Names. You might want to name the new group Arizona. You can make the AZ group your default group by selecting its group number by going to File, Preference and QSO. See group in upper right corner. You will find that the group functions within DX4WIN are very powerful and easy to use. Others may know of other ways to use and refer to groups.

[Dx4win] Lost QSO Question
I recently received a QSL from IM0QMA and verified it in the log. Now, when I use F8 to search the log for that QSO, I get a No Matching QSO found message. I have no filters active and I have the default Selection (All QSOs) in place. The interesting thing is that his name comes up in the Name block in the log window, so I know the QSO data is in the log, under that callsign. What am I missing?

Re: [Dx4win] Group question
John, If you want the group you added (by changing the group number in Preferences) to show up in Edit Group Names, you must add it, by doing Filter, Group Names, Add. You can change the name at this point also, but note that after you change the name, you must click on Change. Once you have done that, you can add that group to a Selection by going to the selection you want to add it to, finding the new group number, double-clicking on the new group number (this will add an x to the left of the group number) and then clicking Update. In my opinion, the use of Selections, in addition to the group numbering, is an extremely powerful tool within DX4Win, allowing you to separate QSOs from various locations easily. Personally, I think Arne's log groupings would be accomplished much better by using Selections - this would allow further separation (e.g. for contests) within each Selection. But it is all personal preference... 73, Bud N7CW -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of n...@comcast.net Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 3:17 PM To: John Shaw Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Group question John I have GROUPS 0, 1, 2, and 3defined. If I search for any of the 4 groups by group number I get only those QSOs for that group. When I total the number of QSOs I selected in FILTER (group) of the 4 groups I get the total number of QSOs in my log. That tells me the filter function by groups is working properly. Not sure what you mean by illogical fashion. I defined my needs for groups and the log does sort (filter) by those needs, in otherwords, my groups. I have my entire log for N7KA going back to June 1978 is entered into DX4WIN. Group 0 identiined as all QSOs prior to 01 JAN1983 (the date that VUCC started). I lived in Tucson, AZ in 01 JAN 1983 so have defined Group 1 by the 6 digit grid square I was living and operating from. Group 2 is defined by my current 6 digit grid square beginning 24 FEB, 1985. Group 3 is defined as the grid square I operated portable on 6M Sunday 20 June 2010. They all sort properly when I select FILTER and enter the group number. At start-up my correct group 2 is displayed in the QSO WINDOW GROUP box. (that is what I have set as default) If I change and SAVE the group number in the FILE|PREFERENCES|QSO group box, this becomes the group number displayed in the QSO WINDOW upon starting the program. You MUST do QSO|Real-time after the program is booted to set the program to begin logging for the day, otherwise you get data from the last QSO entered in your log. BTW all 4 of my groups do come up at start if I have defined a group as the default. l also keep my group number and description written on paper and stored in my manual as backup; group number description, date range, and any other info I determine is relevant. 73 de Arne N7KA - John Shaw jns...@internet.co.nz wrote: Using version 8.04. When I set the group to 0 in the preferences and then go to real time entry the group is 0 so I cant reproduce your result for that one. If I set the group in preferences to a group not previously set up and go to real time entry it does come up as the group set and will log it as such. As a consequence after that if I go to Filter|Edit Group Names the new group generated this way does not show up in the list and am not being able to use Filter|Select to find that QSO, it can be searched for by using F8. Since F8 search can be used it can be set to another group using QSO|Multiple QSO Operations. So other than being able to do something in an illogical fashion it would seem to be function ok. If I want to have a new group of QSO's I have always generated the new group by using the Filter|Edit Group Names function before logging or importing a QSO to that group in my log. As a aside note I don't log any QSO's to group 0, start from group 1 then you will be able to do a group filter search for any and or all QSO's in the log. 0 is a group of everything, including itself, a group of all groups if you like. 73 John ZL1BYZ. __ 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 __ 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] Import Abort - Duplicate QSO's
Hi Jim, Grid boundaries are allowed, but the rules are a bit excessive (my opinion). See http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Awards%20Application%20Forms/VUCCRULE1a.pdf . I did this a couple times last summer and actually posted little movies of my set up and zooming in to the GPS showing the XX.000 display. Of course, by the time you set up, the GPS location is different, but that's just me whining. Grid boundaries are not allowed in the ARRL VHF contest - you can only exchange 1 grid. 73, Bud N7CW -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: Sunday, May 02, 2010 10:04 AM To: Mel Cc: Art - W6KY; DX4WIN Reflector Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Import Abort - Duplicate QSO's On Sun, May 2, 2010 at 10:42 AM, Mel ve...@videotron.ca wrote: Should also check grid... perhaps Paul could fix this.
