[Dx4win] Updating DX4WIN 805 today using DXupdater -- problem with clubllog

[Chaz Cone]

I keep copies of DX4Win on my office computer and on  my  hamshack computer 
(just in case).  I updated today based on Jim’s email.

Updating the office computer went fine, but failed on one file on the hamshack 
machine.  The error is:

Internal error
HttpSendRequest failed error - 12157
Internal error loading the SSL libraries.
http://www.clublog.org/clublog.scp.zip 

I’ve updated successfully in the past.

Is this a Clublog woe?  And, if so, it worked fine on my office copy of DX4WIN.

Ideas?

Which, if you look now, you’ll see is the date of one test Q from last month.  
The log is supposed to be uploaded sometime tonight.  We’ll see.

 I disagree with you regarding the scoreboards.  I think that's one of the

 big guns, taking away chances for the small signal guys to work the DX.

 I know the Perl libraries have some issues with Daylight Savings Time.
 I thought I had fixed this last fall, but apparently not.  It may not
 be fully fixable without re-writing the program using a Microsoft

 Maybe the fix is something like if the file on the web sit differs
 *MORE* than one hour from the file on the computer, then it needs
 updating.  I hadn't thought of this as a possible solution until
 right now.  This means if I release updates, they must be more then
 one hour apart.  I think  I can live with this restriction.

[Dx4win] Intgegrating VE7CC CC User with DX4WIN

[Chaz Cone]

A week ago I posted a help request here trying to find a way to use a 
cluster's sh/dx command to honor the filters I'd laboriously set up.  Among the 
helpful responses I received was that DX spider and VE7CC supper the 
show/mydx command which works like show/dx except that it honors the 
filters.  Hooray!

A number of folks on this reflector wrote and asked that if I solved this 
problem, they'd like to know how.

I wrote a white paper Integrating VE7CC CC User with DX4WIN and sent it out 
to those folks.  Someone said I should publish it more widely, so I have.

The document is presently in version 1.2 and is a work in progress.  You can 
download it from here:

www.w4gkf.com/dxcluster

If you use it and have comments or criticisms I'd love to hear from you off 
list.

I hope this helps folks.

Happy Holidays!

[Dx4win] Packet cluster question - sorry, it may be bit long

[Chaz Cone]

Like many of us, I learned some years ago just enough cluster commands to get 
by.

Recently, I decided to tailor my internet cluster connections to give me 
exactly what I want -- and I learned a lot with hours of Google research.   I 
now have it working (almost) exactly the way I want.  

What I want is:

To receive spots only from the US and Canada
To receive DX spots only from surrounding states (I live in Georgia)
To receive DX spots only for the bands and modes for which I'm active
To receive DX spots only for the ARRL entities that I need; that is, those for 
whom I've not received a paper QSL

It took a lot of research and experimentation to get this working perfectly -- 
but I did it!  If you'd like to see my commands (as examples), email me off 
list and I'll send them to you.

After you sign on to a cluster in DX4WIN, you can send the cluster commands to 
the cluster and it will remember them. If you use more than one cluster, just 
send the commands to each.

All spots incoming real-time are processed through the filters just fine; I 
only see the ones I want.

Here's my question.  Even after you've established your filters on a cluster, 
typing show/dx ignores your filters and shows the most recent spots.  Is there 
a command that will show/dx through my filters?

If not it seems a very strange omission from the command structure.

I've broken my pick on this one :(

[Dx4win] DXCC needed report question

[Chaz Cone]

Folks, I have a puzzle.  I was checking my 
unsubmitted QSLs today against my country total 
in DX4WIN 7.02 and discovered three cards for Qs 
marked confirmed still showing up as being 
needed.  I checked each one in DX4WIN and they 
have a proper band mode, date, time, prefix and Confirmed =Y marked.

Any idea why they would be ignored by the DXCC 
report?  They are K5D (KP5), HV0A (HV) and 3YØX (3Y/P)

Re: [Dx4win] K5D- Desecheo Island

[Chaz Cone]

John, I think the QSL manager database needs to be changed; don't 
think you can do it through the DX4WIN interface (I could be wrong).


The proper QSL manager for K5D is N2OO.

Perhaps whoever owns the DX4WIN QSL Manager db can fix it?

[Dx4win] Bugs I reported in 7.02

[Chaz Cone, W4GKF]

DX4Win-ers:

I thought I'd pass these along so others might not redundantly send them in.

These are observed and easily reproduced in 7.02; they were present 
in 6.x as well.

1) Preferences/Ext Data

If you use Website callsign lookup you must  put something in both 
the Callsign lookup address field AND the QSL manager lookup 
address field.  If you don't, pressing F3, Enter from the QSO window 
does nothing.

Here's the way this is supposed to work (according to the User Guide) :

If the field with focus in the QSO window is ANYTHING OTHER THAN the 
QSL manager field, pressing F3 followed by Enter is supposed to do a 
callsign lookup on the website you chose in the Preferences/Ext 
Data/Callsign lookup address box.

If the field with focus in the QSO window IS QSL manager, pressing F3 
followed by Enter is supposed to do a QSL manager lookup on the 
website you chose in Preferences/Ext Data/QSL manager lookup address.

It doesn't work that way.

In my case, I used http://www.qrz.com for the Callsign lookup and 
http://www.qrz.com/callsign?qsl= in the QSL manager lookup (as 
instructed in both the online help and the User Guide).

There are two problems:  No matter where the field focus is in the 
QSO window, pressing F3 and Enter always goes to the QSL manager 
lookup address.   Paradox:  If you only want to do a Callsign lookup, 
you can never do a Manager lookup because you must put 
http://www.qrz.com/ in BOTH the Callsign lookup box AND  the QSL 
manager lookup box.

The workaround is to put http://www.qrz.com/ in both the Callsign and 
QSL manager lookup boxes.  If you do that, at least F3, Enter does 
the callsign lookup.

And, while I'm whining, I asked that the F3 followed by Enter be 
changed to just F3.  The Enter keypress shouldn't be necessary.

2.  Country Window position (dual monitor setup)

When you ask that DX4WIN remember window position by 
Preferences/Screen and using the Leave all windows in original 
position checkbox, it does not affect the Country window.  No matter 
where you move it to, when you exit it comes back to the middle of 
the left-hand screen (approximately). Note:this only behaves as 
described on my dual monitor setup.

And, while whining, the wording for the checkbox should be Leave all 
windows where they are on exit.

Just tryin' to help..

Chaz, W4GKF  

[Dx4win] I'm embarrassed to ask for help.

[Chaz Cone, W4GKF]

I'm the original RTFM guy and, as a software developer for more 
than 40 years (yes, 40 years), I pride myself on being able to figure 
out how software works even without the book.

After a many-year hiatus from ham radio activity, I got back on the 
air a couple of years ago.  Asking about logging software, I was 
advised that DX4WIN was the way to go so I bought a license and off I went.

Since I didn't opt for the CD (shame on me, I guess) I didn't get the 
user guide.  I'm presently running 6.04 and it fundamentally meets my 
(pretty meager) needs.

But several things don't work intuitively for me and I've been 
digging through the built-in help to avoid having to display my 
ignorance by asking what should be a simple question here.  But, 
today, my frustration got the better of me.

Let's start with the easy one.

I have the program up and see my logbook window which contains all my Qs.

According to the help, in the QSO window if I press F8 to define a 
search and type (for example) K1* in the callsign window, the logbook 
window should change and show me only those Qs for callsigns 
beginning with K1.  It does not.  Instead I get a No matching QSO 
found and the chime.  I have perhaps 50 or more callsigns in the log 
starting with K1 so I don't know what's wrong.

This should be quite a simple thing but it doesn't work for me.

I've tried it with other configurations of search criteria, nothing 
works for me.
It's like some index isn't present or something.

I'll stop now and accept the laughter and scorn; what am I doing wrong?

Chaz, W4GKF

[Dx4win] Still embarrassed but fixed now!

[Chaz Cone, W4GKF]

Folks, thanks so much for the replies re my problem.

First with the right answer was Dick K7VC followed closely by Jeff 
N7YG,  Darrell NR3Y, Rod WC7N, Jim AD1C and John K3CT.

Thanks to you all.

I'm going to read the user guide that was found right where I was 
told, in the \docs folder under the program folder.

Duh!

I feel like a real dumbass but I'm running find now.  Thanks to all;

It was pointed out to me that I failed to include the answers I 
received to my problem.

My question was why the callsign lookup didn't work with wild cards. 
The reason was that I had se the QSO search preference to exact 
rather than the pattern setting I really wanted.

The other extra answer was to my complaint about not having 
the  User's Guide since I originally purchased my license to DX4WIN 
online.  The UserGuide is included in the download and placed int he 
/docs folder beneath the Program Files entry for DX4WIN.
