Agree, and the error is also in Windows 11 and Firefox version 102, 64 bit.

Emne: Re: [Dx4win] lotwreport from LoTW - missing extension

This appears to be a problem with the way Firefox and LoTW talk to each
other.  

First thing I checked was to make sure the Windoze setting "Hide extensions
for known file types" was still unchecked.  It is. 

Downloading an .ADI file from Clublog shows the .ADI extension.
Downloading an .ADI with MS Edge (Win10) or Safari (IOS) shows the .ADI
extension.  
Downloading files from other sites with Firefox shows the proper file
extensions.

Now looking at Firefox release notes and settings to see if I can find out
what has changed.  This just started with a recent Firefox update and I
cannot figure out how to go back to an earlier version of FF for testing.  

In the grand scheme of things, it's trivial to type in .ADI when downloading
the report.  The trouble is remembering to do it.

Hello Larry,

There are better tools for tracking FFMA.  When you use one of the custom
awards in dx4win, you must first tell the program to apply a QSO to a custom
award.  So, for every 6m QSO, you would need to go back and fill in the
Custom Award (FFMA) and Custom Award Value (grid square) for each QSO
individually.

W7GJ has a tracking program on his web site: http://www.bigskyspaces.com/
and KV5W maintains an on line database for FFMA chasers.  Info on his QRZ
page.  These are probably the most convenient tools to use.

GL with the chase.

[Dx4win] FW: Global Removal of LCnf Status?

[Larry Burke]

Just want to close the loop on this one. I received an off-reflector note
from Mel, SM0MPV, telling me how to perform the change I asked about in my
original note.  His solution was spot-on and much appreciated. 

 

For the sake of anyone else who may one day be searching the archives with a
similar problem, the solution is as follows:

 

1.  Access FILTER --> SEARCH (F8) in the QSO window
2.  Enter the start date in the date field (you will be prompted for end
date when enter is pressed)
3.  Press ENTER
4.  In the LoTW pulldown menu (also in the QSO window) select CLEAR LoTW
CONFIRMED.

 

I never even knew this menu item existed. I probably read about it in the
manual at one point, but it's a case of never needing it before and doing
the same 'ol thing the same 'ol way for too long. There are undoubtedly
features on my rig and household appliances I don't know about as well - but
I still feel stupid after seeing how easy this was.  

 

Now if I only knew what I did to mess the log up in the first place.

I'd like to correct this by removing all the Y's in the LCnf column

Can someone walk me through how to easily remove all of those LCnf Y's in

Re: [Dx4win] Import FT-8 file to DX4WIN

[Larry Burke]

There may be other ways, but here's what I do.

 

In DX4WIN:

*   File > Import/Export
*   In the window that opens select "ADIF" 
*   File > Import
*   Navigate to where your "wsjt_log.adi" file is located and select it
*   When pop-up window asks how to handle duplicate QSOs select
"Imported QSO is Ignored", then OK

 

That should bring your WSJT-X QSOs into DX4WIN without duplicating QSOs that
are already there. 

 

I'd also suggest using the latest version of WSJT-X (1.9.1). There are
important improvements, including the ability to run fox/hound in the
DXPedition mode.

Hi,

 

My mind has wandered somewhat. I used to be able to import an FT8 file
simply by copying the.adi log file from WSJT 1.8.2 to a flash drive and then
importing it to DX4WIN 9.04. When I tried this today, the import file just
hangs and I get error messages. Is there a more efficient way to do this? I
seem to recall some previous methods put on this reflector, but I must have
deleted them.

 

 

Any help?

I'm using DX4WIN with an Icom IC-7851. The CAT controls work well however

Re: [Dx4win] K1N

Rich... if you keep your .cty file up to date DX4WIN should recognize K1N as
Navassa automatically. If you have an old .cty file you can use the F1 key
in the Prefix field and select Navassa. I would not recommend logging as
KP1/K1N as you will not get a match should you ever upload to LoTW.

[Dx4win] Mt Athos Not Appearing in Country Totals on 40 Meters

I worked and confirmed SV2ASP/A on 40 meters on April 7, 2010. He shows up

confirmation carry over to the Country window or to any DXCC Reports. I've
worked Monk Apollo on several other bands and the log maps properly to the

Is there an easy way to convert the DXCC QSL Download adif file from the
LoTW website to an Excel, Word or pdf file? I'd prefer to do this outside of
DX4WIN and would prefer conversion to Excel.

Re: [Dx4win] Printing QSLs with LaserJet printer

[Larry Burke]

Dave, I print directly to the non-glossy back of a photo card with no
problems. The printer is an HP LaserJet P2015d. I prepared a how-to document
to show how to set up DX4WIN to do the printing (spacing, etc) if you are
interested.

Subject: [Dx4win] Printing QSLs with LaserJet printer

My Dymo label printer recently went on the blink, so I am experimenting with
printing cards directly from my HP LaserJet 2035n printer.  I am wondering
if anyone has had any success printing cards with a LaserJet.  I am finding
that the printed text is not adhering to the card and tends to flake off.  I
have two types of QSL cards -- one glossy finish and the other a more normal
card stock type finish.  Both seem to have the same problem.  I can print
the QSL on to regular copy paper and the text adheres just fine.  So I am
thinking it has something to do with the thickness of the card stock that
does not allow the card to roll through the printer evenly enough to get a
good heat seal on the toner.

I may have to revert to printing out sheets of labels in the LaserJet.  BTW,
I have noticed that the labels that I printed from the Dymo Label printer
tend to fade over several years time.  Thus, I do not want to go back to the
Dymo printer.  I need to find something that printers more permanently.  I
was hoping the my LaserJet might do that directly on the card stock.  But so
far no luck.  Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Dx4win] APC Battery back-up UPS on sale

[Larry Burke]

Thanks for the tip, Jim. Pretty good prices. 

I have been using the larger APC (Back-UPS XS 1500 watt). Worked great
until I bought a new Dell. Now the PC dies every time there is a voltage
dip. Everything else on the UPS makes it through an outage just fine. This
model puts out a stepped sine wave. Wonder if that has anything to do with
it. Anyone else experiencing a similar problem?

Hi Larry,

I just re-read your message.  There is no need to Stop Radio.  All you 
have to do is make sure your logging window is on the last logged 
(saved) QSO, i.e. you are not in Add Real-time (F9) mode.  You will 
only get the radio timeout message if you're trying to log a QSO!

I run DX4WIN 24/7 and turn my radio on and off at will.  I never leave 
it in F9 (Add Real-time) mode and NEVER have the problem you describe. 
  And I have the original microKEYER.

Finally got around to installing v 8.01 today. A bit more painful than most

far:  is anyone else having problems displaying 60 meter status in the WAZ
and Country windows? It's also not in the Reports. I have 60m checked in the
Station tab of the Preferences. Not sure what I am missing. 

Some strange things with the CW totals, too, but I haven't dug into that
enough to ask an intelligent question.

 there is a coating on these cards prohibiting the ink from adhering. The
 card also creates a paper jam if it is placed in the printer in an

I've had a few requests to elaborate on the details of printing directly on

There are several ways to skin this cat; my write-up describes one of them.
Also note that what I have documented only eliminates the label, it does not
fill-in-the-blanks on a QSO box that is pre-printed on a commercially

I upload/download to LoTW a few times a year, so I am by no means a power

 Thanks for the reply, Rick. Guess I am either still unclear on the

 I uploaded my log from mid December 2007 to the current date. This
 included
 some 20 VP6DX contacts. All 20 of these VP6DX QSOs were matched on LoTW.
 But
 on the LoTW web page some VP6DX QSOs showed the country name Ducie
 Island
 and for other VP6DX QSOs the country name was blank. When I downloaded
 the
 ADIF file from the ARRL server (having selected Imported QSO set Upload
 Confirmed Flag) those QSOs for which the country name was shown as
 Ducie
 Island had a Y in the Upl Cnf column of my DX4WIN log. Those QSOs
 for
 which the country was blank in LoTW did not have a Y in the Upl Cnf
 column of DX4WIN.

 This was very obvious with the VP6DX QSOs since there were so many in one
 block. So I checked back at QSOs with other stations. Same thing Even
 if
 confirmed in LoTW, if there is no county name in the column there is not
 a
 Y in the Upl Cnf column of DX4WIN

 Normally, if the country is blank, it's not confirmed. Thus the upload
 isn't confirmed.
 It seems that some of your Ducie QSOs have been confirmed and some
 aren't. This may be a LotW bug, or something else. If you log in to
 LotW and use Most Recent QSLs are all of your Ducie QSOs showing up?
 If not, what leads you to believe that they've been confirmed on LotW?

[Dx4win] Spot Color

[Larry Burke WI5A]

Every now and then I get a spot with a priority that doesn't seem to be
correct. This happened for TO4E even after I mapped it to Europa. The
latest instance was for 9N7YDY on 40m. I have not worked a 9N on 40, yet
it came up as Priority 6 (green text - band/mode not confirmed). In this
case I would have expected Priority 3 (white text on red - new award
band). I have 9N on all higher bands on various combinations of CW/SSB
so it doesn't appear to be a mode-related issue. Suspect some form of
operator error here, but can't put my finger on it.  Thoughts?

On a related issue. thanks to whoever suggested the use of Callsign
Alert during the TO4E operations. While I knew this feature was out
there, I had really never used it. It proved to be a useful tool in
trying to pinpoint their somewhat erratic operations -- even after I had
worked them on a particular band/mode.

[Dx4win] Mapping specific callsigns to a Country (TO4E)

[Larry Burke WI5A]

Is anyone besides me having the TO4E spots come up as blue text against
a white background (priority 4) when Europa is needed for a new
band-country? Ordinarily a new band-country would be white text on a red
background (priority 3). Think a similar issue came up on the reflector
several months ago. Do I have something set incorrectly or is this the
way the priorities are supposed to work? I normally sound an alarm for
new band-countries, but the current settings won't do that for TO4E.

The easiest way, Ron, is to type TO4E in the log window and tab over to
the prefix box and hit F1 and choose the entity from the list that
pops up that you want this callsign exception to be. Then hit Enter and
Log the QSO, then, bring that QSO back to the log window by double
clicking on it in the logbook window and choose the QSO pulldown menu
and select Delete QSO. this will make a callsign exception for that
callsign anytime it is entered into the log window in the future, from

 How does one associate a specific callsign (like TO4E)

 I've been going in through the databasescountries

 The changes I make disappear at this point and TO4E

noticed it was around the time I installed mIRC (internet chat).

  Posted this question a couple of weeks ago, but got no replies. Wonder if
  anyone can suggest what to look at to get my system beep back the
one
  that notifies you that a new band/mode country has been spotted.  It used
  to work, then just disappeared not sure what I might have done to make
  it stop working.  I have system beep selected under Packet 1 in
  Preferences, but no joy. Things work just fine if I select CW announce,
  call (voice notification), etc. but not when system beep is selected.
  When it worked it used to produce a noise like ding.wav.

[Dx4win] No System Beep

[Larry Burke WI5A]

Voice and CW alerts work just fine with me. The system alert does not work, 
even on the internal PC speaker (with the sound card turned off).

 I have checked my preferences settings, sent commands to the cluster I log
 onto, gotten advice over the reflector, and even burned ashes to read over
 tea leaves.  Nothing I have tried in the last few weeks has restored the
 beep that used to come with each DX spot.  All I can figure out is that
 maybe a cluster or windows update somewhere along the line has stopped it.

If you enable the voice alerts do they play properly when the DX is
spotted?  If not I would suspect a change in the format of the spots coming
from the cluster, such that the expected format is no longer being
recognized by DX4WIN.
