Re: [Dx4win] Prefix

2020-03-05 Thread John, K9EL 
Enter TO0A in the callsign window

Put your cursor in the Prefix window.

Press F1

Scroll to Saint Martin 

Double Click on Saint Martin

The QSO window should now show TO0A as FS.   

Press Enter to LOG the QSO.

Make sure the TO0A QSO is still in the QSO window.  (if not hit escape)

Go to QSO - delete QSO.

Delete the QSO you just entered.

The next time you enter TO0A, it will come up as FS.

AD1C database will go into effect in another day and the problem will go away.

Hi.
I try to enter the callsign TO0A and it doesn't recognize me the prefix.
Does it happen to someone else?

Re: [Dx4win] Prefix search

2018-09-15 Thread Paul van der Eijk 
Roger,

Searching in the callsign field does not work for all QSOs.

You will not find the QSO for a call like W1YY/7 the prefix is W7 for that
one.

There is an easier way to do this:

QSO Window | Reports
Select WPX, Listing, All modes, All bands and click OK

In the listing shown you can double-click on a band or mode and all
matching QSOs
will be selected. They can be shown as a list in the LogBook window.

All callsigns in DX4WIN 9.0x have both start and end dates.  DX4WIN
8.05 and earlier did not have end dates, so typing in a DXpedition
call long after it was over would still come up as the "right"
country.  There are many advantages to having both start and end
dates.

VK9GMW was active obnly from 2009/03/28 until 2009/04/13.  Anything
outside that range will come up as Norfolk.

The Country editor has not yet been enabled in V9.  This has been mentioned
on here several times.

I presume that VK9GMW maps to Mellish Reef only for the duration of that
operation.  So, if you enter that call in today's date, it won't map to
Mellish Reef because he's not currently there!

It appears to me that an Entity like Willis would have VK9W because
Australia actually issues the Calls for there specifically as VK9Wxx.
So, the Entity would be obvious from the Call.
 
However, some Countries use the same prefix for several ARRL Entities and
there needs to be some way to differentiate them in the database.
An HK0 could be San Andres or Malpelo, so a /M is put after the HK0 to
specifically denote it as Malpelo. Other eaxmples would be FR and JD1 versus
PY0Txx and CE0Yxx.

Re: [Dx4win] Prefix Logic

Yes, Paul, that's the joke -hihi. 98% of the Govt's have no idea
who the ARRL is and wouldn't care about DXCC Prefixes if
they did!!  In fact, some might purposely deviate just to show
they have the power.    73,   Bob K8BL

Licensing authorities (or administrations) don't give a s..t about DXCC.
Some DXCC prefixes became the standard official ones AFTER the 
callsigns were issued, not the opposite...

 Hi Bernie,
   
 You're right.I didn't know that VK9H was Lord Howe until
 it came back as a New Band Entity on LOTW. I had thought
 it was Norfolk for some reason.
   
 Those French TO#xx Calls are pretty tricky.
   
 I guess we always have to stay on our toes since the various
 Governments across the world refuse to consult the ARRL
 Entities Prefix List before issuing Calls (hihi).

 Hi Bob, that makes a lot of sense, and easier to remember.
 There are, I guess always going to be exceptions to the rule, like VK9HR
 this summer, was on Lord Howl.
 I have a VK9TR from Willis Is.
 Pays to double check countries with multi prefixes, you could be holding a
 rare one, hi.
 Tnx, GL 73 de Bernie/WO2N.

 It appears to me that an Entity like Willis would have VK9W because
 Australia actually issues the Calls for there specifically as VK9Wxx.
 So, the Entity would be obvious from the Call.
   
 However, some Countries use the same prefix for several ARRL Entities and
 there needs to be some way to differentiate them in the database.
 An HK0 could be San Andres or Malpelo, so a /M is put after the HK0 to
 specifically denote it as Malpelo. Other eaxmples would be FR and JD1 versus
 PY0Txx and CE0Yxx.
   
 IMHO

 Looking at the prefix list, What's the reasoning for  some  multi-prefix
 countries identified by forward stroked, and others are not?
 Example Willis is VK9W, but Malpelo is HK0/M.
 When I search via prefix I don't kn if it wants a / or not..
 I kn f1 brings up the list.
 Tnx for your reply

The simple answer is that if a sub-prefix can be specified that is
unique to that DXCC entity (i.e. PY0F, PY0S, PY0T or VK9W, VK9L,
VK9C), then that prefix (without the slash) is used as the reference
prefix.  HK0M is not a unique prefix for Malpelo; in fact, other than
HK0TU, and an HK5/0 that was on a few years ago, I don't know that any
other callsign has been used from there.  HK0 is/was also used from
San Andres, Bajo Nuevo and Seranna Bank.  So that is why the /
notation is used.  Same for VP8s, E5, FO, etc.

Okay that makes sense, tnx. That's previously stated. That's what I wanted
to know so I can take a reasonably close guess when Prefixing searching.
