[Dx4win] Label Printing Not Aligned
I am using Avery 8162 labels. When I try to print labels from DX4WIN, the alignment (from top of page) is off. If I print to a blank sheet of paper, the alignment (from the top of the page) is correct, but it is off when I try to print on actual Avery labels. Any idea why? Is there any possibility that the printer is adjusting the alignment based on arrows or alignment markers on the Avery labels? This is driving me mad. I have not had this problem in the past, esp. when I was using another program (BV7?) to print my QSLs. __ 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 and the iPhone
Thanks to several of you for guiding me toward the VE7CC user program for sending alerts of important spots to my iPhone. I have yet to integrate AR with DX4WIN, but I've gotten AR to do what I wanted to do: alert me via SMS on my iPhone when an important spot shows up. For those of you trying to do the same thing, here are the issues I encountered and how I solved them: PROBLEM #1 - AR does not seem to support TLS/SSL authentication when connecting to an SMTP server. This was preventing it from sending the alerts directly to my ISP's SMTP server. It also prevented me from sending through either my Yahoo or GMail account, since they both require authentication as well. SOLUTION to #1 - go to www.downloads.com and download Local SMTP Relay Server 5.5. Set up AR to communicate with the SMTP Relay Server instead of directly to an external server. Let the SMTP Relay Server send the e-mail to the internet. PROBLEM #2 - Even after solving #1, I was unable to send SMS messages to my iPhone because my ISP blocks port 25 to prevent spammers from sending direct mailing through this port. SOLUTION #2 - Configure Local SMTP Relay Server 5.5 to use the implicit TLS option to authenticate itself with my ISP's SMTP server. All e-mail is now sent to my ISP's SMTP server via a different (authenticated) port instead of port 25. On Sun, Oct 4, 2009 at 9:44 AM, Kelly Johnson n6kj.ke...@gmail.com wrote: I use DX4WIN at home.

Re: [Dx4win] Finding things to submit through LOTW
Submissions to ARRL no longer require a contact list. This is only required now if your cards are checked at a convention or by an authorized field card checker. As I understand it, the requirement is that multiple QSO cards be placed at the end of the list. I plan to have my cards checked this Saturday and I can report back if there is an issue with my list. I am not providing a list direct from DX4WIN. I have imported my list from DX4WIN into EXCEL and I have modified it to put the multiple QSO cards at the end of the list. There is no way for DX4WIN to do this because it doesn't know what confirmations are on the same QSL card. I'm sure it would be possible to do this, but it may not be pretty in the DX4WIN GUI. It didn't take me too long to edit the DX4WIN list in EXCEL to put the multiple QSO cards at the end. The much bigger problem I ran into was the DX4WIN always searches backwards from the current date and picks the most recent QSO. This causes the DX4WIN list to have lots of confirmations from single-Q cards that could have been submitted from a multi-Q card. Once again, there's no way for DX4WIN to do anything better unless it knows what confirmations are grouped together on a single card.

[Dx4win] Leaving Telnet connected 24/7
I often leave DX4WIN running and Telnet connected for DX spots 24/7. When I am home, I can check the window every time I walk by the shack to see if I see any Red or Yellow spots. If I'm not home, the telnet window collects all the spots so that when I return I know what activity has occurred while I was gone and in some cases the DX stations are still there when I return. Question - I'd love to avoid leaving my computer running 24/7 if possible. Are there any internet based services out there that can collect the spots while my computer is offline and allow me to fill my DX4WIN spot window from those saved spots when I bring my computer back online?

[Dx4win] Leaving Telnet connected 24/7
Actually, seeing something that was on 8 hours ago is sometimes useful, especially for a DXpedition because it gives you an idea of what bands they are working at what times of day and what times of day people in your part of the world are hearing them. The bigger problem with this approach is that I don't know if you can filter the DX Summit spots based upon the geographic location of the person posting the spot. I typically use a telnet cluster that filters out everything except spots made by U.S. stations on the West Coast (where I live). I would really want to load in only spots from West Coast stations. Would that be possible? On 12/20/07, David, K2DBK [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: One of the options that comes with the default list of cluster locations is the ability to pull down spots from DX Summit.

All of the QSOs are valid for DXCC since they are all in the U.S, but for 5BWAS all QSO's need to be made from within a 50 mile radius.

[Dx4win] LOTW Importation Issue
I decided to import LOTW info into DX4WIN today to see if I would pick up a few band-countries. I did, but I also picked up a country that I didn't even remember I had worked. After some investigation, I think I figured it out The country I had worked was in my LOTW QSO/QSL database. The QSO was way back in 2003. For some reason, this QSO had been deleted from my DX4WIN log sometime after uploading it to LOTW. Today, when I imported my QSO information this QSO reappeared in my DX4WIN log AND it was marked confirmed. My country count climbed by one. That's great, but here are the things that concerned me. 1) This occurred without my knowledge. I have my log separated into 2 pieces: QSO's at my previous QTH prior to 11/1/2005 and QSO's at my current QTH. They are separated with the GROUP number with the old ones using GROUP number 0 and the new ones using GROUP number 1. This QSO was entered in my log and given GROUP number 1 because that is now my default. Unfortunately, this QSO should be in GROUP number 0. 2) This QSO marked the CONFIRMED flag. I usually used the Upl Cnf flag for LOTW QSO's, not the Cnf flag. I had a heck of a time finding this. Is there a way I can search for all QSO's that have been inserted thanks to LOTW that weren't in my log before I did the import? Is there a way I can search for all QSO's with a GROUP number of 1, but with a date prior to 11/1/2005?

I have been keeping 2 separate logs: one for my day-to-day operations and another for multi-op contests in which my call is used. I want my awards tracking to only be done with my day-to-day log. I want to keep things separated! Now, in comes LOTW. I uploaded both logs using a different station location for each since my multi-op contest log is from a different county. Now, when I download my LOTW QSL report, QSLs from both sets of logs are in the report. I mistakenly imported this report into my day-to-day log and wound up with a bunch of QSLs from a multi-op contest which I didn't want in there. I was able to use the filter to find them all and delete them, but ... what a pain. Isn't there a simple way of either: 1) Downloading only QSLs corresponding to a particular station location from LOTW OR 2) Filtering out QSLs from a particular station before importing the report into DX4WIN Another thing I realize is that the awards tracking done by LOTW itself uses both sets of information. This isn't right. This makes awards tracking on LOTW worthless for those of us that have used our call for a multi-op contest effort. LOTW isn't turning out to be quite as useful as I had thought.

DX4WIN gets the CFGQSL info back from LOTW in one file , How can a program recognize that this is from 2 separated logs with the same call? You should have 2 separated logins @ LOTW for separated calls But since it is the same call you use I don?t know if this Is possible in LOTW. Check there first if it would be possible.

[Dx4win] Syncing LOTW with DX4WIN
I'm sure I'm asking a lot here, but ... is there any way to import the confirmed QSO information from LOTW into DX4WIN? Alternatively, is there any way to combine the information from both into one database in something like Excel? Sure, you can enter LOTW information into Excel manually, but is there any way to download it into a spreadsheet (or DX4WIN) digitally? I'd love to track my confirmed band-countries from BOTH my QSLs and from LOTW in one software package (preferably DX4WIN).

[Dx4win] Combining Logs
I looked around in the HELP menu, but didn't find anything so I hope you don't mind me asking here I just moved to a new QTH. In order to properly report my QTH for LOTW I'd like to start a new logbook, but I want both the new logbook and the old one to be combined for the purpose of DX4WIN statistics. Alternatively, I suppose I could just keep one logbook and generate ADIF files for upload to LOTW using a date filter. That may work. What have others done? How can I do this as simply as possible?

I used it that way for a number of years: G4MZF/W4 (VA) - Group 1 NR3Y (VA): Group 2 NR3Y (CA): Group 3 This allowed me to separate reports - all entries (Group 0) for DXCC and yet ability to select VA versus CA for WAS awards. Now I use date filters to segment the log instead, which I think is a better approach. It also frees up the Group numbers for other uses, such as contest identifiers. 73, Darrell - Original Message - From: Kelly Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2006 11:21 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Combining Logs Is there any advantage to this over using the GROUP field to separate a single log into multiple logically separate logs as suggested by someone earlier?

[Dx4win] ER4DX not in DXCC Listing
I worked ER4DX last year, but the QSO doesn't appear in the DXCC Listing. The QSO correctly indicates Moldova, but it doesn't show up under Moldova in the DXCC Listing. If I put a QSL date into the QSO, it finally shows up in the DXCC Listing but if I remove the QSL date then it disappears again. I am running version 6.03. Anyone got any idea why?

There are several third-party slashed-zero fonts available out there. While the slashed-zero looked nice, I didn't like the rest of the font characters and chose to stick with Arial which has a skinny zero and a fat alpha-O. 73, Dick -- Dick Flanagan K7VC NV SM E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Dx4win] Reinstalling dx4win
I just reinstalled dx4win on a new drive. I copied my log file from a backup disk and opened the file with DX4WIN. When I checked the DXCC Listing and Summary I noticed that my totals were not correct. After further investigation I realized that all the QSO's in my log for which the default DX4WIN prefix was incorrect and for which I had corrected them were incorrect once again. For example, I worked FO/AC4LN while he was on Austral Island. I changed the prefix for those QSO's from FO to FO/A so that DX4WIN correctly indicated Austral Island. I did this with at least a dozen other calls like AY1ZA (on VP8/O), TO4E, etc. I had at least 20 or 30 QSO's for which I had to manually change the prefix/DXCC entity. I assumed this information was part of the log file and would migrate to my new drive with my log file. Unfortunately, it didn't. The manual changes must be kept in some other file, but I don't know which one. Can someone tell me how to solve this problem? Also, can someone tell me how to update the QSL manager list. There are quite a few QSO's in my log with an incorrect QSL manager and changing it manually has no effect. Apparently, DX4WIN uses whatever is in its master qsl manager list and ignores it if you change it in the QSO entry window. BTW, I am running DX4WIN version 5.03 if that matters. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML or had an attachment.
