Trying to set up a completely separate log for an old call-sign of
mine. Starting DX4WIN my call and name are already in [preferences] and
can't be changed. How can I enter a new call - same name?

Hal,
You can use group numbers and link a call to that. This way I maintain all
my operations (more than 30) and can show a single log or all QSO's of all
operations.

Hi, Hal
Well, I know it can be done, because I've done it - at least in v. 8.05.
My present call is K4OTV. That was the call I was originally issued in 1957.
But I worked an awful lot of CW DX as N4BZX. I had to go the vanity call
sign route to get my original call back.
It's been a while, but
Have tried everyones' suggestions and not gotten where I would hope. I
have no trouble setting up a new log, in this case called WA4BTC.DXL. I
can save it and re-open it. But under preferences it still says N4GG
and that cant be changed. Is suspect that is locked in via my license?
Hal
Hal - I believe you are correct. I have many different log files and on
the Personal Tab of the Preferences, they all say N7CW. It must refer to
the license, but it doesn't show up anywhere else where it might interfere
with logging operations (at least that I have ever found).

Hi, Hal
Well, I just went into my N4BZX log, and it shows K4OTV in the preferences.
I also found that it apparently can't be changed - maybe because I purchased
DX4win as K4OTV?
It's never caused me any problems, either in DX4Win or LOTW. I did import
thousands of QSOs from an old N4BZX
I operate from multiple locations in different states using the same
callsign and using DX4Win at each location. How can I merge the logs
together and still know where I was operating for each QSO?

Hal,
To be more precise on how I handle this, do the following.
You have your current log which may be called MASTER or N4GG (whatever name
you use).
Assuming you have the other logbook already in an electronic format, create
a new log (File | New) and give it a name (you can use the call sign

This answer applies to another question for a second callsign...
Both you should work with groups. For example you can have group 1 for
the location1 and group 2 for location 2. See more about groups in help
file and in my notes here

Thanks Gerban,
I have gotten this far. I cant seem to label groups 1 and 2, but as
long as they are numbered I can always figure that out later. As a
stand along long, I found it troubling that the callsign in
preferences was not the old callsign but locked down to the new one.
I suppose
Hal,
The group numbers work out very well for me. As said, I do maintain all my
DXpedition calls and PG5M contests in a single log, but using the group
numbers to identify the respective call/contest. Now with incoming QSL's, I
just type in the call and get all QSO's listed that I worked,
If you want to keep the logs completely separate, shouldn't you use two
separate log files instead of one file with group numbers? Make a log for
N4GG and another for WA4BTC? You would need separate keys, etc, for LoTW,
but could merge the two (or more) files there for your DXCC.
73,
Mike
I have several logs in DX4WIN. It's so easy Under file,
Click on 'new'. Enter one QSO. Save the 'new' log using 'Save AS'
and assign it that callsign. A new .DXL file will be created as that call.
Enter the rest of your Q's saving as you go.
Don't forget to go back to your present call using
That's how I do it, too, Art!

Hal, some of this may be helpful:
I keep two separate logs, one for my home QTH and another for when I operate
from the Philippines. Since these are two different DXCC CTY locations if I
did not keep separate logs my DXCC, IOTA, etc tracking would be messed up
because I might think I have a new CTY for K7ACZ that actually was
