Re: [Dx4win] Problem saving new QSOs
I would suggest going to FILE>SAVE AS and see what opens showing where your dxl file is stored. It should show your SAVE file. I once saved my dxl file to a thumb drive for a safety back up before going on a trip. After my trip I had a situation like yours because the program was looking for the thumb drive. Once I selected my SAVE drive the program was able to find my dxl file and opened normally.

[Dx4win] 2023 CQ DX Marathon
Thanks again to Jim AD1C for his ver 2023 23.2 conversion app for submissions for the CQ DX Marathon. Not only does it provide a smooth flow of data from my DX4WIN log to the scoresheet it also seeks out contacts that are confirmed for the entry to prevent busted calls or pirates. It even caught a mistake I made logging an QSO in my log where my band entry did not match the frequency I entered. 73 & HNY Alan Zack Amateur Radio Station K7ACZ Official USCG Auxiliary Comm Station Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Delta Rocket Quality Engineer, The Boeing Company, Retired Aviation Chief Warrant Officer, U.S. Coast Guard, Retired http://www.qrz.com/db/K7ACZ __ 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] Two log books simultaneously?
Yes, I use group numbers for such situations. I assign a new group number for each contest log I import using Jim AD1C excellent ADIF2DXQ program. Besides contests I also have long entries for my previous call K6ACZ and N7V when I operated on Coast Guard day as a Coast Guard AUX Comm Sta. With the SAME CALL widow open when you enter a call into the log CALLSIGN window all past contacts you have had with the station will show in the SAME CALL window. In the GROUP NAME column it will show how the call was previously logged, such as 2023 ARRL DX Contest or N7V USCG AUX. There will be a separate line for each previous contact.

Re: [Dx4win] Program to write a comment in the Adif Comment Fields
Jim AD1C excellent program adif2dxq found at https://ad1c.us/dx4win/adif2dxq/ will do that. One of the options is a QSO NOTE window where you can place the note you desire. It also allows you to assign a group number so when the Q's are added to the log they will have a group such as 2023 ARRL CW or 2022 CQWWDXCW. I do this when I upload a WRITELOG ADIF file to DX4WIN after a contest.

Re: [Dx4win] Printing labels for newly received Bureau QSL cards.
Maybe not the best way to do it but when I have that situation I go to the QSO's that I want to print and place a note in the NOTES FOR THIS QSO such as Rcvd from BURO 1/2/23. You only need to type this once, then use CTL+C to copy the note to the rest of the QSL's you want to print. So what you are doing is to find the QSL's to print (one by one), In the label box place Y, place BURO in the method box, the do the CTL+C to put your note in the NOTES FOR THIS QSO box. Then do a F8 search for this note you made (in this example Rcvd from BURO 1/2/23). The search will only find the QSO's you marked as Rcvd from BURO 1/2/23 and you can now print only those QSL's in question. You also have a notation of when and how you received the incoming QSL that you did not have before. 73 Alan K7ACZ -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Jim Pyle Sent: Saturday, January 28, 2023 11:25 AM To: WA7AA Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Printing labels for newly received Bureau QSL cards.
