I manually update from DX4WIN to LOTW and there was no issue with the new
version.

Hello, everyone.

It seems that ARRL has released a TQSL version 2.5.2 that now involves
logging programs including additional information in the ADIF file (or
overriding the check somewhere in the TQSL program). I haven't tried either
upgrading to that version or uploading a log with it, but just be aware that
the usual LOTW upload may not work anymore if you do.

Here's the link to the bulletin: 
http://www.arrl.org/news/new-tqsl-version-2-5-2-provides-better-lotw-rover-s
upport-other-improvements

It looks like it's supposed to solve an issue with "roving" stations, which
I guess solves a problem for the 0.01 % of QSO out there, but the way I
read it, it transfers the burden of verifying the uploaded location data
(DXCC, State, Grid, Zone) to the logging program that supplies it. If that's
the case, it solves nothing, because the data is only as accurate as the
user supplying it, which essentially changes nothing as far as the location
accuracy of LOTW contacts is concerned. 
At least that's my interpretation, I don't know what "Once a logging program
supplies these (MY_STATE, MY_DXCC, MY_CQ_ZONE, etc.), then /TQSL/ will
validate them against the log" means, unless it will require these for every
single QSO entry in the ADIF file. If that's the case, I don't think DX4Win
is able to supply that without a major upgrade.

However, it adds an interesting twist on the constant demands for automatic
LOTW upload/download around here.

Stay safe & 73,

Zoran WA7AA

Re: [Dx4win] D4W v9 memory size?

[exbpi]

Looks like that is the case...mine is taking 187 Mb...but that’s only roughly 
22% of my used memory which is only 44% of installed memory.  Gotta hold all 
that data somewhere.

So, I just happened to be in Task Manager in Windows 7, and noticed that D4W 
was taking up 195MB(!) of RAM. I shut it down, and restarted it fresh. No 
change.

Can someone explain this?  Seems like something’s wrong. The .exe is 4MB, the 
.wav files are 1MB, and my log is 7MB.   What’s using the other 183MB??  It 
can’t be all databases. :)

Re: [Dx4win] Version 9.05 available

[exbpi]

I assume you mean the country band window and have gone to "Window" - "Country"

It could also be hiding behind another window.

Funny, after updating, my Band Map won't even come up anymore. I don't see it 
anymore. Used to work perfectly. Now, it's missing...

The + in front of the callsign shows the stations uses (or has used) LOTW
