[Dx4win] LoTW Question
Probably already answered, but the ones that show the country are the ones you have QSL's for. To see a QSL only view, choose the See my QSL's in stead of See my QSO's. (the wording is similar to that - I forget the exact words.) 73, Duane On Wed, 27 Feb 2008 05:36:14 -0600 Larry Burke [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I vaguely remember the following problem being discussed before, but do not recall the final resolution and can't seem to find the answer in the archives. I upload/download to LoTW a few times a year, so I am by no means a power user. Today I noticed that, following an import of my confirmed QSOs from LoTW to DX4WIN, the only QSOs showing an Upl Cnf are those that also show a country in the final column of the LoTW table of confirmed QSOs on the website.

[Dx4win] dxcc submission
Luckily, my submission was fairly small, so I just ran the Card in hand version first, then the LOTW and CARD version second (after clearing all the submission flags). I saved both lists and imported into Excel and manually marked the ones I had cards only for and compiled that list. Later I will compile the LOTW list and do those as well and make this a hybrid submission. If I had a lot more than I do (14 cards, 37 LOTW) it would quickly become unmanageable. 73, Duane On Thu, 7 Jun 2007 08:11:02 +0300 Kostas sv1dpi [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I agree A nice way to do this is as follows.

[Dx4win] Label printer
There's no waste on the labels. When you finish printing and have less than a full sheet, just tell the next print job how many labels you have used, and it automatically starts with the first one available. (Assuming you use them the way DX4WIN does - vertical columns from top left to bottom right.) DX4WIN does that with just your intervention at the start of the print job. Works great.

I have used an inkjet in the past. It prints a less than desirable results. It will blur if it accidentally comes in contact with a liquid source. I was given a Samsung ML-1210 laser about 2 years ago. The comments about a professional looking QSL keep coming over and over. The toner is fused to the paper with little to no chance of it being blurred like an inkjet. If I need to print 1 QSL I drop in 1 card and print just one. When the cartridge is empty I buy toner after market and recharge the cartridge myself. Some have been recharged 8 or 9 times. Toner comes in 90 gr. bottles for about $4 US or less. A new toner cartridge is about $70+. Recharged cartridges are about $50 in the stores or via Internet sales. The biggest cost has been for Alcohol cleaner sheets at Staples or Office Depot. They run about $4 each but are worth the costs for a clean printer. End result is a very clean, permanent, professionally looking QSL at very low cost. Most stores use thermal register receipts. Looking at old sales receipts months later they have faded. It would be very discouraging to pull out the QSL card years later and the thermal label is unreadable. Overall I would say a direct print with a laser printer sales time, money and produces a better result. I can print much more with a printer than label maker. I'd leave the label maker to printing address labels for envelopes not for the QSL information. 73, Tony N2MFT ** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

For a start, it starts in less than a quarter of the time my old Win2k did. And stable, stable and again stable. Using a Asus A8V motherboard with two 512mb memoty sticks making a total of 1GB of RAM . The CPU is a AMD 64 x2 3800+, dual core CPU, and I find the setup faster than anything I've had so far even counting back to the Windows Chicago beta and Windows 3,11 for Workgroups. Ok, the x64 may not offer new features and overwelming using interface. It just do the job, but faster, more secure, and with no hassele. The comming 64 bit Windows Vista is sheduled for the begining of next year, as I have heard. By then 64 bit drivers and prefereble full compilition of 64 bit Dx4Win will be availeble. (Am I hoping for to much?) Hopefully the drivers needed to make DX4Win to start with x64, will be availeble much much sooner than that, like any day right now (Am I right , Paul?) Anyway, I do not work any shortwave until I get DX4Win to work again.

It still has some limitations, but is an improvement from having to hop between the entry window and the CW keyboard. It is still a poor substitute for a real contest logging program though. Actually that reminds me in 7.04 the ability to change speed while the keyboard is sending seems to have been lost, although you could do this in earlier versions. 73 John ZL1BYZ. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of 5B4AGC Sent: Thursday, 22 June 2006 8:07 p.m. To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] CW Keying in DX4WIN I have DX4WIN working fine on CW.

I try to the keep the QSL managers as current as possible while doing as little work as possible. There are many sources of QSL data on the Internet, DX4WIN is but one.

Larry, I used the Radio Amateur's Callbook for several years, but switched to Buckmaster this year. QRZ is always available online to compare against.

[Dx4win] Internet Callsign Lookup
Dick's response echos my experience also. F3 to bring up the Lookup window with response from your callsign database on your PC, and any manager lookups (I use GOLIST which works great). Then, with this window active, hit Enter and it will send the same request to QRZ.COM and a browser window will open and you'll see the info there.

I was going to write an application note about this, but just have not had time. My experience is this: Let's say you have three sources of information: (A) local call sign lookup on a CD or local disk; (B) QSL manager lookup on a local disk; and (C) Internet access to call sign information on QRZ.com. Hitting F3 while in the logging window will bring up a window showing the results from (A) and (B). If you then hit Return, it will bring up your browser that will display the results from (C). What I gather from this is that DX4WIN cannot extract data from the QRZ.com web site, but it can from known-format databases on your local system. This makes sense when you think about how difficult it would be for DX4WIN to duplicate the HTTP functions necessary to access a web site and then to parse through all of the web site noise to actually identify where the name and address are. What it can do, however, is invoke your browser and direct it go to QRZ.com to display the appropriate call sign information for you to interpret. What I do is use both QRZ.com and GOLIST databases on my local computer and then call up QRZ.com on the Internet to look for any last minute changes. 73, Dick -- Dick Flanagan K7VC NV SM E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win -- Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas http://home.austin.rr.com/ac5aa From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 21 19:01:57 2006 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Shaw) Date: Tue Feb 21 19:03:42 2006 Subject: [Dx4win] Internet Callsign lookup In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well that is the best bit of information I have seen here for a while, works great.

[Dx4win] Incomming spots changing QSO window
John, I'm in front of my computer now - go to Preferences, to the QSO tab, and UNCHECK the Callsign Update entry. See if that fixes your problem. I think that's the one, but I'm not sure. On my setup, it is checked, but the only time that the callsign follows the incoming spots is if I have pressed F9, and the callsign field is empty (i.e., it's waiting for me to type a call in). I never leave it in this condition. I hit F9 just before I'm going to enter a call to log it. At any rate, hopefully this answers your question. 73, Duane On Fri, 20 Jan 2006 06:51:02 +1300 John Shaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Well Duane if when you are in front of your computer you figure it out I would appreciate the answer to this.

Is there a way to stop incoming packet spots from changing the band and mode in the QSO window. This is a real pain, I don't have rig control so I don't know it may work better with that but reading Dennis's post maybe not. DX4WIN didn't used to do this ver 5.07 but when I upgraded to 7.01 it now does. I don't know exactly when the change happened. The problem is that you can be working away say 40m CW and end up logging the qso as 20m PSK31 or something unless you remain for ever vigilant. I want the log to follow what I am doing not someone on the other side of the world. The only work around I have found so far other than turning the spots off and clearing all spots from the spot window is to type something quickly into the callsign box then hitting home so that when you start typing a real call you can delete the bogus character ahead of the curser. Sometimes the spot beats you, sometimes I forget to do this. Its not a very good solution and although I don't think I have been caught out it is very likely to cause errors in the log. I have been using DX4WIN for over 5 years now and think it is a fine program and continue to support it. I like the implementation of support for LoTW and MTTY in the new version but in my opinion the above problem is a serious blunder in the operation of DX4WIN. I have entered it as a bug in the bug reports but never got an acknowledgement so I don't know if it has been taken on board or not. 73 John ZL1BYZ. ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Jan 20 02:08:19 2006 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Shaw) Date: Fri Jan 20 02:13:45 2006 Subject: [Dx4win] Incomming spots changing QSO window In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Duane, Yes I had tried that before and almost thought it was it but no.

[Dx4win] DXCC Submission question about LOTW and paper QSL's
I've been doing LOTW now for several months, but have not submitted any of the QSL's there for awards. Meanwhile, I have about 100 cards that I can submit for endorsements including a few new countries. I usually take my cards to Ham-Com in Dallas during June for QSL checking there. However, now my questions begin, and I'm hoping some of you have been through this already to know how well DX4WIN works in this regard (mixed QSLing). My questions are: 1. Does DX4WIN have a way of submitting LOTW QSO's like it does for paper cards? I don't see one. 2. How can I be sure that cards I take with me don't have a QSL already in LOTW (maybe not for that QSO, but for that country/band/mode?) 3. Has anyone done much with this mixed QSL confirmation yet? 4. Has Paul fixed the problem where a new country card submitted gets automatically counted for both band and mode, not just for the mixed award yet? Anything I've forgotten that will bite me?

If and when I will have positive results I will surely post on the list. I'm still dreaming about a Dx4Win Linux version ;-) As this is mostly off topic here, I will not post anymore about Linux, only via private mail. 73, Philippe
[Dx4win] Packet Window Rig Control of FT1000MP
On Ten-Tec and ICOM radios, it switches the frequency on the currently assigned register. With my Omni VI+ and now with my Orion, I often move to the band/range (BSR) where the spot is going to point me and then click the spot. That way I don't screw up the other 3 registers for that band. Other times I'm in a hurry and just go back and fix it later if it steps on one of my preferred settings. 73, Duane On Mon, 11 Oct 2004 07:24:41 -0800 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: If I am using stacking register A right now in the Phone portion of the band and I have the B stacking register loaded with something in the CW band, then why does DX4WIN change the B stacking register next time I click on a spot (or at least that's what it appears to do).

[Dx4win] Special Event Callsign Usage and DX4WIN
Hello Paul, The current run of the W6x stations (Route 66 On the Air) brings to mind an anomaly I noticed earlier on DX4WIN. Is it possible to add an expiration date for callsign recognition? Here's what I'm thinking. Perhaps we could have a single value (easiest option to code) that would allow the user to set some period of time prior to which spots received for previously worked stations would again show up as unworked. My immediate problem is that I worked most of the W6x stations currently on the air back in 2001 (1996 for one of them), and so as I'm trying to work them all again this year, I'm not getting them in the DX Spots window. If I could set an expiration date on the spot comparison logic such that spots for stations older than 11 months (for example) would again show up as unworked, I could use it to identify new stations during these operating events and re-work them for the new year's credit. Likewise, once they were worked this year, they would not show up in the Spots window. Just a thought, and certainly not high priority. My solution may not be the best, it's just the first one that comes to mind. 73, Duane -- Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas http://home.austin.rr.com/ac5aa From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Sep 12 18:30:15 2004 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (WC7N) Date: Sun Sep 12 18:34:23 2004 Subject: [DX4WIN] PSK Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The other day someone mention problems in 6.03 with the PSK window.

For example if it is checked DTR I then move it to RTS and it is fine. Next time it will show RTS as checked so I must move it to DTR and then it works fine.

A friend who had just received an Orion has found difficulties with DX4WIN as follows: 1. Sometimes when sending CW from the DX4WIN keyboard, he sees long delays (1-2 seconds) before sending commences. It never stutters once it starts, but occasionally hesitates. 2. If he sets Retries to 1 on the poll setting, the radio times out almost immediately, even with 10 second polling intervals. If retries is set to 2, then it seems to operate OK - has anyone experienced timeouts with the Orion / DX4WIN? He has all the interface settings set at the TT specified values.

Back to DX4WIN and I tried all four combinations of settings for DTR and RTS but in each case I get a radio has timed out message. My Orion is on COM 1 and the port speed is set to 57600 baud. I wonder is there someone out there harbouring the pearl of wisdom I need? Happy Christmas all.

[Dx4win] DXCC Award Submission problem
A couple of clarifications: 1. DX4WIN only credits if you request that credit to happen by turning on or off the valid bands to match (or separate award). So, if you submit your first DXCC MIXED, with 105 cards, those QSO's will be credited in DX4WIN *only* for Mixed. Not for Mode or Band, which the ARRL will automatically credit you for towards those awards. This is what I'm attempting to describe. 2. Taking cards to hamfests places a limit of something like120 cards for your submission. This causes one to start eliminating categories to trim the list. So, let's say I want to trim my list by not submitting for the 40m band category, and I turn that off in DX4WIN. The logic will cause any submissions that were purely for 40m band to be eliminated. However, a new mode QSL that happens to be on 40m will be submitted, and the ARRL will credit it for both mode and 40m band credit. However, DX4WIN will not credit it for 40m. Giving credit vs. what you are submitting for are two different concepts, and that is where DX4WIN errs. This is the kind of thing I'm describing. 3. Agreed, ARRL will not give you an award for anything with less than 100 countries, however, that QSO is credited toward the award whether you have applied for it or not (re: the example above). 4. And, yes, the ARRL has not always taken this approach, however they have consistently since I've been submitting cards, which started in 1990 or '91. So, for old timers, they still need to do that initial reconcile. Sorry to belabor this, but I hope it clears up what I'm trying to say. The last time I spoke to him about it, Paul agreed it did not work as the ARRL describes they do the crediting, but was adamant he was not going change it because of how he reads the rules. I like the program in almost all other respects, but this part always causes me more grief than I like! 73, Duane On Fri, 4 Oct 2002 00:32:39 -0500 Wendell Wyly W5FL [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: That is true now, but I just sent ARRL over $100 with my submittal last week, which included re-submitting many many cards that had been previously submitted and ARRL did not record the band until several years ago. ARRL does not accept less than 100 cards with the first submittal. I believe they have dropped the minimum cards that have to be submitted. DX4WIN also credits you for MIXED, BAND, and MODE for any card that you submit IF you have the DXCC preferences set up correctly. I do not know what you would want the author to fix. The program won't submit cards automatically (like my 30 meter cards) where I only have 91 confirmed until I get 100 or more. If you don't tell ARRL which qso's to credit, you will be charged for each and every qso on the cards you submit, whether you have already paid for them previously. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Duane A Calvin Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 11:51 PM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] DXCC Award Submission problem Unfortunately, in 5.03 the authors have not yet fixed that problem. I got confirmation from the DXCC desk twice (Bill Kennamer, and Bill Moore) about how the counts are done (and have been for the past 10 years), but the last time we discussed it, the authors' interpretation of the DXCC rules did not match what the ARRL says they practice. Hopefully that will change in the next version. In short, if you submit a QSL to the ARRL for credit, you will be credited for the MIXED, BAND, and MODE for that QSO. There is never a need to resubmit that QSO again. This is where I spend an evening or two reconciling my DX4WIN listing against Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas

This is a very good reason to download the free ZoneAlarm from the internet (software firewall) or purchase Norton Personal Firewall. Both have done very well in reviews.

I use DX4WIN with my PC using soundcard digital modes for RTTY and PSK, and LPT port keying for CW operation. There are lots of references to the simple single-transistor circuits needed to enable those types of interface between your rig and your PC. If you want to get fancier and create an intermediate switch box between your two rigs and two PCs... with two software configurations that recognize the differences between Icom and Kenwood, that gets a little more complicated but it can be done. Regarding your Linksys router: I also have multiple PCs here, connected to the net via a LinkSys 8 port switch and cable modem. I found that the DX cluster connection will time out unless you define your shack PC [the one connected to the cluster] as a DMZ host IP address. The setting can be found on the router admin screen under Advanced | DMZ host. This, of course, involves some risk for this exposed PC, so make sure you have strong login passwords and aren't running any programs that a hacker could use to compromise your system. (inbound telnet, ftp, and file sharing come to mind..) The good news about using the LinkSys router is that it creates a nice firewall for your network to hide behind; the bad news with DMX Host is that you are placing this PC in front of it. ;-( -larry K8UT - Original Message - From: Eric Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Saturday, June 01, 2002 1:11 AM Subject: [Dx4win] Questions??

[Dx4win] Filtering and DXCC Award Submission
Just for calibration, I started submitting in 1992, and it appears all my submissions have been logged as to call, band, mode, and date.

I see no reason why marking the first card received would be beneficial when in fact, it is the card that was submitted and checked by ARRL that is important. Until recent years, they did not even keep track of the band that was submitted. In most cases that I am aware of, the cards are usually submitted when a little over 100 are confirmed and for most of us, this was a paper submission, followed up by yearly submissions since that time. Since you have probably submitted many of the 293 cards, you probably simply need to mark them as checked by mode, band, and mixed, if that is the DXCC's that you have applied for. Since you have 5BDXCC, this implies that you will need to mark over 500 bands also. Since each time you make a submittal, ARRL now mails you a nice printout of each of the modes, bands, calls, etc, that they have on their records, the real problem usually comes down to making this OFFICIAL record, match the CHKD records in DX4WIN. I have not come up with a good way to do this, but after a little work, it is fairly easy to maintain. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of William Hinkle Sent: Sunday, April 07, 2002 9:22 PM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Fwd: Re: [Dx4win] Filtering and DXCC Award Submission Is it that only Michael and I are the only ones interested in knowing if DX4WIN can sort confirmed cards by first or last confirmed?

DX4WIN looks for the most recent QSO's for submission. Well, I have a file box that I have been placing all of my new DXCC countries QSL Cards in since i was licensed. That means the box has the first QSO with a new country confirmed in it. There are 293 cards in that box. I also did the same thing with 10 meter WAS when I was a novice. I have never submitted for an award. So it would be nice if you could make DX4WIN look both ways (either first confirmed or last confirmed). I'm sure I am not the only one who has sorted his DXCC countries this way. I also have 5BDXCC confirmed, 5BWAZ (189 worked 185 confirmed) and close to 5BWAS worked,(Not really chasing this one). All of these cards are just in file boxes and not in any order other than DX and State side. So, can it be done that way? If not, how about in the next version. What do the rest of you think?

I'm running it on XP and all works fine. If you upgrade from another non-NT operating system, be sure to read Paul's note earlier on how to reinstall one of the drivers. If you do a fresh install (the preferred method for XP) all will work fine since the DX4WIN installer looks for which op sys it is installing on and chooses the correct driver.
