I'm sorry about that Ricardo (lo siento, amigo). The list of summits starts of with these three fields: SummitCode, AssociationName, RegionName "AssociationName" is the name of the DXCC Entity and that is what my software uses to produce the custom award for DX4WIN. "Crete" is actually in the next header, "RegionName" under Greece. I will fix Crete and any others I find the next time I update the awards database.

[Dx4win] Create VUCC Map from DX4WIN Award Listing (6/23 test version)
I uploaded a new version of the "Create VUCC Map from DX4WIN Award Listing" program: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/VUCC/VUCC_v3.1_20200623.exe http://dx4win.ad1c.us/VUCC/ - documentation etc. (not updated) You can find my original message here: http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/dx4win/2020-June/025751.html This is what the default output now looks like: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/VUCC/ad1c_2020-06-20.pdf The program looks slightly different. Here are the main changes: * Removed Output selection. The .csv file from the DX4WIN Listing can now be anywhere, but you'll still have to navigate to find it * Fixed a bug if the listing uses Frequency instead of Band. This would happen if the "Show band in MHz" box is checked on the QSO tab of your DX4WIN preferences. As a side-effect of this, I had to remove support for the 4cm (70MHz) band. If you need this, let me know. * Added two new check boxes: 1. Needed/worked (default = checked). When checked, the output will have darker NEEDED grids and lighter CONFIRMED/CHECKED grids. This will emphasize the grids you need to work, instead of the ones you have already confirmed. 2. C=S=* (default = checked). When checked, grids that are confirmed will be the same color as grids that are checked. In other words, there are only three different colors: unworked, worked and confirmed I also found a way to move the individual fields (10x10) to be adjacent to each other, without gaps. I renamed the "Field" field to be "LL Field", meaning Lower-left Field. This is how you specify what geographical area you want the output to cover. It can be a 2-letter field or up to a 6-digit grid, but only the first two letters of the field matter. I fixed a couple of other things that would cause the program to crash. Please give it a try and let me know what you think. One thing I would like to do, but is a bit of work, is to save the check box and print format settings. So the next time you run the program, you will get the same settings as the last time. I could potentially save the LL Field as well. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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] Create VUCC Map from DX4WIN Award Listing
> Confirmed = Light Gray > Worked = Red or Med Gray > Not Worked = Black OK, it seems you want to INVERT the colors. I think what I can add two more check boxes: 1. Confirmed/Checked same color 2.

I'll try to push out another test version later today or tomorrow. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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
[Dx4win] Create VUCC Map from DX4WIN Award Listing
Hi Folks, I started to work on this utility again after several years. This can be used anywhere in the world, not just USA. You can see an example of the current output here: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/VUCC/ad1c_2020-06-18.pdf The coloring is slightly different than before: - Black means Checked (credit given by ARRL) - Green means Confirmed (but not yet submitted) - Red means worked but *not* confirmed You may also notice a blue outline. I just added this option yesterday. It is for the Fred Fish Memorial Award from ARRL (FFMA): https://www.arrl.org/ffma I like to keep a printed copy near my operating position. For me, it works better than using F8 all the time. There is one problem that I need help with. As you can imagine, color works *great* if you have a color printer, but what happens if you only have a monochrome (black/white) printer? I printed the color result on a monochrome printer we also have in the house. The problem was that both the red (not confirmed) and green (confirmed) squares appear to be the same color (sort of a light black or dark gray). My proposal is for users who need to print the map on a monochrome printer, that I will use RED only for unconfirmed grids. Grids that are either confirmed or checked will show up in the same black color. This is to make it easier to identify grids you may need to re-work. Presumably, grids that are already confirmed are of "no interest". If you have any opinions, let me know. I've put up a beta version of the current release. You can download it from here: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/VUCC/VUCC_v3.1_20200620.exe http://dx4win.ad1c.us/VUCC/ - documentation etc. You may need to download/install this Microsoft library as well (the x86 link). https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

Hola Luc, There is an easier way. In the QSO Window, LoTW | Export to LoTW. This function uses the LoTW and Upload Date fields in the logbook to remember all the QSOs you have already submitted to LoTW in the past, and creates a new ADIF file containing only the NEW QSOs since the last export. You can then upload this same file to *both* LoTW and eQSL (and QRZ and HRDlog if you so choose). There is no filtering involved, as long as all your old QSOs have already been marked as uploaded to LoTW. This same flow applies using eQSL | Export to eQSL, but I never do this, because the same ADIF file for LoTW can be used for eQSL. This is an old application note, but most of it still applies: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/lotw.html 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

I wanted to finish off this thread. QSL managers are stored in the country file. Before DX4WIN 9.0x, the country file was saved every time you exited DX4WIN. In DX4WIN 9.0x, that is not the case. The country file is read-only. There is a separate file in the SAVE directory named "usrexcpt.dat". This file contains all changes you have made to either callsign prefixes or QSL managers, and is saved every time you exit DX4WIN. Therefore, once there is an error in this file, simply installing the latest country file will not fix the problem. I told Paul to delete this file, and his QSL manager in error disappeared. I generally don't ever look at this file. It usually only contains mistakes I made while logging, for example, assigning the wrong CQ zone to a USA callsign. I've said it before and I'll say it again - if you find an error with either the country prefix associated with a callsign, or a QSL manager, please let me know via E-mail so I can fix the master database (country file). Then everyone will benefit from the correction. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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] DX4win after the crash
It looks like the problem with Fiji and the others was relatively short-lived. It was present only in the country file released on April 5. I was using a new method to create the IOTA list that would work for both DX4WIN 8.0x and earlier, and DX4WIN 9.0x. Previously, the file had been edited by hand. Now it's created from the IOTA database that one can download from the IOTA web site. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

Dick, the IOTA for Fiji has had the wrong latitude/longitude for some time. I fixed this in the most recent country file release on April 18. The issue came to light recently when R207RRC operated from IOTA AS-207, which also had the same problem. I noticed it because the sunrise/sunset times did not make any sense. These four IOTA all had the same problem and were fixed: IOTA AS-027 IOTA AS-092 IOTA AS-207 IOTA OC-016 (Fiji) The IOTA database defines a latitude/longitude "box" inside of which the IOTA lies. In these four cases, the left-hand side of the box was to the WEST of the International Date Line, and the right-hand side of the box was to the EAST of the International Date Line. This caused the calculation of the center of the box to put it near 0 degrees longitude instead of near 180 degrees longitude. As it turns out, the IOTA Web Site at https://www.iota-world.org/ also had the same problem with their sunrise/sunset calculations. I notified them and it was fixed within a day. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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] Fwd: DX QSL not counted
Something else must be going on. I did an experiment. I had worked and confirmed ZE5JJ as a Novice, in December 1974, on 15m CW. I deleted all of the other Z2 QSOs from my log (37 of them), so the only one left is that 15m CW QSO from December 1974. I did a DXCC Report and selected a Band listing. Sure enough, I have Z2 confirmed on 15 meters. The only differences between yours and mine, that I can see are a) DXCC entity, b) Band.

Please read this application note: https://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/dxcc.html At one time, there was an application that would try to do this. I believe it was written by a station in W8-land, but I can not remember the callsign. Maybe someone else can recall. It worked, but you should also do the checks described at the end of the release note above. DX4WIN 9.0x does allow the user to take an ADIF listing of approved/checked IOTA credits and apply them to the DX4WIN log. It is theoretically possible that Paul could implement something similar for DXCC, using the ADIF report file that you can download from ARRL Logbook of the World. Maybe if enough people ask for this... 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

[Dx4win] ADIF to DX4WIN log conversion version 9.6 released 6 January 2020
I have released version 9.6 of ADIF to DX4WIN, you can download it from here: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/adif2dxq/ There is no need to uninstall the old version first. If you are upgrading from a version released before 2017, make sure to read the first NOTE on the web page. Please note that the default installation directory is (still) C:\dx4w805. If you are using DX4WIN 9.0x, you may want to change that to match your DX4WIN 9.0x installation directory. Here are the release notes: Ver 9.6 - 6 January 2020 Bug Fix: Submode was undefined for ARRL RTTY Roundup Bug Fix: Callsign was truncated in About dialog box The default output format is DX4WIN9 format. If you are still using an older version of DX4WIN, you must select a different output format. You can *not* import DX4WIN9-formatted DXQ files into DX4WIN 8.0x or earlier! Your anti-virus program may report a false-positive during installation or operation. Please disable it to see if that fixes the problem. I use the anti-virus built into Windows 10 and have not had any problems with either. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

But the very first time you do this (ever), right-click on the Callsign/Mgr Lookup (F3) window and make sure that Automatic Update (at the bottom) is checked. This allows the window to update as you scroll through your log, as well as update when you are entering a new QSO. Once you check this setting, you'll never have to do it again. This is no automatic way to get that data into the logbook, however.

[Dx4win] Compare DX4WIN Award Credit Status with LoTW (Logbook of the World)
Happy New Year! Many years ago, I wrote a utility to help you compare the DXCC credits granted to you by ARRL with the Checked DXCC credits in your DX4WIN log: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/lotw/ This is helpful if you have been using the Reports menu in DX4WIN to make DXCC submissions, following the Confirmed -> Submitted -> Checked model. For more information on how this works, see this now 10-year-old application note: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/dxcc.html If you are not using both DX4WIN and LoTW to maintain award credits for VUCC (VHF/UHF Century Club) or WPX (Worked All Prefixes), you can stop reading now. I am also working and submitting VUCC grid squares on 6 meters. Some time back, I tried to implement a way to compare VUCC award credits, hoping it would work the same way as DXCC (same utility). However, whereas ARRL lets you download an ADIF file with all your DXCC credits, it does not provide this same feature for VUCC. I did look into using this K1MU utility to download your VHF QSOs from LoTW to an ADIF file: http://www.rickmurphy.net/lotwquery.htm The ADIF file you download does include some VUCC award credits, but only those made using LoTW confirmations. Any paper QSLs you sent in for VUCC credit are NOT listed in the downloaded file. If you have submitted both QSLs and LotW confirmations for VUCC credit, that's not very useful. Still, there is a way to get a list of all the VUCC Grids that have been credited to your ARRL award account, from the LoTW website, that includes both paper QSL and LoTW confirmations, but it's not as straightforward as simply clicking on a link to download a file. Yesterday, I updated the Compare DX4WIN to LoTW utility to support comparing VUCC credits. I intend to release this update no later than the weekend of January 11/12, 2020. I hope that others find it useful. I have a bunch of VUCC award credits to fix in DX4WIN to make things match. Of course, there will be detailed instructions on how to download the list of VUCC credits from LoTW in a form that the utility accepts. The reason for this long message is that I could add similar functionality for the CQ WPX award, because you can use LoTW to submit confirmations for the WPX award. It would work in a way similar to VUCC. If no one wants this, then I won't bother to add this additional functionality to the utility. If you *do* want this, please let me know. I'll probably need a copy of your log and your LoTW WPX credits in order to debug the changes, because I have never applied for a WPX award. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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] FT8 - DXCC
Hola Raymundo, There is no easy way to get DXCC status for only FT8 QSOs. You can use F8 to search for QSOs made using FT8, but a DXCC status report will still include all QSOs in your log. You will have to export your FT8 QSOs into a separate log to see what you want. Using F8, search your log for Mode=FT8. Then use File | Import/Export to export the search results to an ADIF file. Use File | New in DX4WIN to create a new, empty log file. Give it a temporary name, definitely NOT the same name as your main logbook. Then import those FT8 QSOs from the previous step into this new log. >From there, you can do a DXCC report to see how many DXCC entities you have worked on FT8. The same goes for FT4, but for the F8 search, you need to search for Mode=MFSK and Submode=FT4. If you want to see combined DXCC statistics for both FT4 and FT8, export the QSOs made with those two modes separately, then import both FT4 and FT8 ADIF files into the same empty DX4WIN log. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

File | Preferences | QSO tab, make sure that "LoTW" is checked under "Label/Upl flag". Each new QSO will have the "LoTW" flag set in your logbook. When you want to export for LoTW or Club Log, LoTW | Export to LoTW. DX4WIN will export only those QSOs where the flag is set. It will then clear those flags, and put today's date in the "Upload Date" field. This will prevent them from being exported again. You don't have to use the LoTW flag for this, you could use the eQSL flag instead if you don't use that service. Personally, every time I Export to LoTW, I upload those QSOs to Club Log. Club Log has a feature called "LoTW Sync" where it uploads any new QSOs to LoTW on your behalf: https://clublog.org/lotw/ One upload, two consumers. And I don't have to remember which QSOs I uploaded to which service. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

[Dx4win] REMINDER: updates to DX4WIN Calendar, Master Callsigns, Membership Lists, DX Cluster Nodes
Hi Folks, Each Saturday at about 5 a.m local time (1200 UTC), I automatically generate updates to the following DX4WIN data files for 9.0x users: - DX Calendar (from 425 DX News) - Master Callsigns (from Club Log) - Membership Lists (eQSL, LoTW and OQRS users) - DX Cluster Nodes ( http://www.dxcluster.info/telnet/ ) After I generate the new data files, it may take Paul a day or two to upload them to the DX4WIN server. You can then "Help | Check for Updates" to see if new files are available. The first three files above change every week, the list of DX Cluster nodes less often. Prior to today, the list of OQRS [On-line QSL Request System] users had been relatively small, about 2700 users. It did not include many of the non-DXpedition users of the Club Log OQRS system (https://clublog.org/logsearch.php). Starting this coming Saturday (November 30), the list of OQRS "members" will include all those non-DXpedition users (over 28K callsigns). This did not actually increase the size of the membership list data file very much, because most if not all those users were already included in the list of known good callsigns from Club Log. I hope people will find this useful. I was inspired to make the change because CB1H did not show up as a Club Log user in my own log, even though he does provide the service through Club Log. Finally, I was hoping to release a new version of the DX4WIN Data Updater with this change, for the benefit of the users of older versions of DX4WIN. However, I am having problems reading the Club Log data into the program, one of my libraries does not like the file. Once this is resolved, I will release a new version. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

You can't rely on the file date of country.dat - it gets re-written every time you exit DX4WIN. Instead, try this. It has been this way for a long time: http://www.country-files.com/contest/#Version The instructions aren't technically correct for DX4WIN, but the same principle holds: In your logging program, try to log the callsign “VERSION” (on a DX cluster node, use the SH/H VERSION or SH/SUN VERSION command). Each version of the country files will return a different country (except for Win-Test, see #3 below). That country will be indicated in the release notes for that version.

If you don't need any custom country file exceptions, delete it.

DXCC entry ("Prefix") and/or CQ zone, please let me know so I can fix

[Dx4win] ADIF to DX4WIN log conversion version 9.5 released 2 September 2019
I have released version 9.5 of ADIF to DX4WIN, you can download it from here: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/adif2dxq/ There is no need to uninstall the old version first. If you are upgrading from a version released before 2017, make sure to read the first NOTE on the web page. Please note that the default installation directory is (still) C:\dx4w805. If you are using DX4WIN 9.0x, you may want to change that to match your DX4WIN 9.0x installation directory. NOTE: The previous version was really 9.4, as reported by the About... box in the program, though I announced it as version 9.3. Here are the release notes: Ver 9.5 - 2 September 2019 Feature: Added World Wide Digi DX Contest Bug Fix: Added support for sub-modes like FT4 Bug Fix: For DX4WIN 9.01 and later, the EA RTTY contest used the wrong custom award name The default output format is DX4WIN9 format. If you are still using an older version of DX4WIN, you must select a different output format. You can *not* import DX4WIN9-formatted DXQ files into DX4WIN 8.0x or earlier! Your anti-virus program may report a false-positive during installation or operation. Please disable it to see if that fixes the problem. I use the anti-virus built into Windows 10 and have not had any problems with either. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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
[Dx4win] ADIF to DX4WIN for WW-Digi contest
Hi Folks, I would like to update the ADIF to DX4WIN conversion program for the recently-completed WW Digi Contest. Note that there is no requirement for anyone to use this program. DX4WIN should be able to import an ADIF file generated from your contest log without any problems. https://ww-digi.com/ http://dx4win.ad1c.us/adif2dxq/ I tried converting an ADIF file generated by WriteLog, and for FT4 QSOs, only the Mode (MFSK) and not the Submode (FT4) was converted correctly. So this is one obvious problem. If you used any other software besides WriteLog or WSJT-X to log the contest (for example, N1MM), I'd appreciate a copy of the ADIF file generated from your contest log so I can add a conversion for it. Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

All Kenwood radios use the same command set, which usually makes things very easy.

Re: [Dx4win] upload to LoTW problem from DX4WIN
Export to LoTW works perfectly fine in DX4WIN 9.0x. This is what I do: 1. In Preferences, on the QSO tab, in the Label/Upl flag box, make sure that LoTW is checked. 2. Import all my QSOs from WSJT-X into DX4WIN using File | Import. I ignore duplicate QSOs. This means I'm importing only the new QSOs. 3. After #1, LoTW | Export to LoTW. This does three things: a) creates an ADIF file from all the QSOs that have the LoTW flag checked in the QSO window. This is the ADIF file that you will sign and upload to LoTW using the Trusted QSL software. b) sets the Upload Date so these QSOs will not get exported to LoTW again c) optionally changes the LoTW flag from Y to N (I always do this) 4. Save your log, because step #3 above will make changes to it! Because I use both Club Log and LoTW, I have Club Log set up to upload my QSOs from Club Log to ARRL LoTW. This saves me from having to upload the ADIF file twice. And I don't need to use the Trusted QSL software either.

Re: [Dx4win] Importing county line QSO's

Hi Mark, What logging software/format are you trying to import from? I wrote a program some time ago to make this easier: http://software.ad1c.us/ADIF_County/ It converts ADIF to ADIF, and staggers the county-line QSOs by 1 second. I've never had a problem with that small an increment. Please send me the log you are trying to import, I'll see if I can help make it easier for you, if the conversion program above doesn't do the trick. - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

What were the FT4 QSOs originally imported *from*? You need to identify those QSOs and change the Mode=MFSK, Submode=FT4 for each of them. Also make sure that "LoTW" is (re-)set to 'Y' and Upload Date (next to it) is empty. That will force DX4WIN to export those QSOs for your next LoTW upload. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

What am I missing? Did the spot specifically say FT8 in the comment? If not, DX4WIN may have interpreted it as either CW or Phone based on the frequency. If you need T77C on one of those modes, the spot would be blue. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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

Inside the QSO window, search for "DC" in the state field. For every such QSO, clear out the STATE field and save it. Save your log, then exit DX4WIN.
