Re: [Dx4win] LoTW submission with DX4WIN
Hi Loren, The main DX4WIN screen has a window LOTW Upload Date. This is automatically updated (if you say yes) after creating the DX4WIN LOTW file...You can also show this field in the logbook window of DX4WIN. This updates every QSO. 3 windows. QSL card, LOTW and eQSL can be updated. 73, Art W6KY From: Loren Hunt ad...@sbcglobal.net To: DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net Sent: Mon, April 2, 2012 6:08:41 PM Subject: [Dx4win] LoTW submission with DX4WIN So now that the ARRL has separated out LoTW and Paper DXCC applications I need to know the best way to proceed.

[Dx4win] On-line DXCC Application is up
The On-line DXCC Application form is up: https://p1k.arrl.org/onlinedxcc/ Step 2 says: If you use a logging program, you will find it faster and more accurate to prepare an ADIF file containing the QSO information for the QSLs that you want to submit with your application rather than manually entering the information from each card. Use the Import ADIF tab to import your ADIF file. Here's how you can do this in DX4WIN: First, peferform a DXCC Submission from the Reports menu (see http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/dxcc.html for help) To export ADIF, you will have to use an F8 search. Make sure your QSO window is fully expanded (using F5) so the Award Flags are visible at the bottom. Now, if you are submitting any credits for the DXCC Mixed award, use F8 to search for 'S' in the DXCC Mixed Award flag. Then File | Import/Export, and after making sure ADIF is selected, File | Export. DX4WIN will ask if you want to use the current active filter. Answer YES. Once that's done, do the same for your DXCC Band and DXCC Mode submissions. Make sure you don't over-write the ADIF files you create before uploading them to the ARRL server (i.e. don't save them all to the same file name). I can't tell if the application will let you upload multiple ADIF files, or if you only get one shot. Maybe someone who does this can add more details, and this can be added to the DXCC application note. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ 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

In the past, a hybrid application counted as a single application (the first free one per year). Now if you do the equivalent of a hybrid application, it's really two applications: one for paper QSLs, and the other for LoTW credits.

If I send three requests--one direct with an IRC and $2, one OQRS with $5 via PayPal and one via the Bureau--and finally receive a response via LOTW, I want to know when I sent each card, how and with what, and when/how I received the response. As QSL methods become more diverse and direct mail more expensive, these kinds of records could be invaluable and would seem ideal for computerization.

Re: [Dx4win] On-line DXCC Application is up
Are people able to enter QSL's and save them, and then go back days later and enter more that may come in? John On 4/3/2012 10:29 AM, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: The On-line DXCC Application form is up: https://p1k.arrl.org/onlinedxcc/ Step 2 says: If you use a logging program, you will find it faster and more accurate to prepare an ADIF file containing the QSO information for the QSLs that you want to submit with your application rather than manually entering the information from each card. Use the Import ADIF tab to import your ADIF file. Here's how you can do this in DX4WIN: First, peferform a DXCC Submission from the Reports menu (see http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/dxcc.html for help) To export ADIF, you will have to use an F8 search. Make sure your QSO window is fully expanded (using F5) so the Award Flags are visible at the bottom. Now, if you are submitting any credits for the DXCC Mixed award, use F8 to search for 'S' in the DXCC Mixed Award flag. Then File | Import/Export, and after making sure ADIF is selected, File | Export. DX4WIN will ask if you want to use the current active filter. Answer YES. Once that's done, do the same for your DXCC Band and DXCC Mode submissions. Make sure you don't over-write the ADIF files you create before uploading them to the ARRL server (i.e. don't save them all to the same file name). I can't tell if the application will let you upload multiple ADIF files, or if you only get one shot. Maybe someone who does this can add more details, and this can be added to the DXCC application note. 73 - Jim AD1C -- EMAIL: j...@w9rpm.com WEBPAGE: http://www.w9rpm.com/ Wisconsin VHF/UHF County Hunters: http://www.wivuch.com/ DX and CONTEST CLUB: http://www.w9idx.com/ La Crosse Hams: http://www.lacrossehams.org/ AOL IM: W9RPM YAHOO: W9RPM __ 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

[Dx4win] FW: [DX4WIN] On-line DXCC Application is up
With all of you getting DXCC confirmations so quick, it makes me wonder what happened to my last application. I did a LoTW application on line and sent in cards to ARRL the same date, January 17, 2012. That is 11 weeks ago and no confirmation to date.

Re: [Dx4win] Feature Request
I keep these infos also. As Jim said you should use notes for this QSO field. This field is really useful for any info specific to this qso only and not to this call. If you have organized your records you could easily track them. For example for evry oqrs request you should write OQRS 5$. So if you want to search all unanswered oqrs requests you can search them with f8 and writing oqrs into notes for this qso filed and cnfm flag N. What's better from this? 73 Kostas sv1dpi On Tue, Apr 3, 2012 at 10:28 AM, Dick Flanagand...@k7vc.com wrote: If I send three requests--one direct with an IRC and $2, one OQRS with $5 via PayPal and one via the Bureau--and finally receive a response via LOTW, I want to know when I sent each card, how and with what, and when/how I received the response.

Re: [Dx4win] FW: [DX4WIN] On-line DXCC Application is up
03 April: LOTW only. 105 claimed credits. About 15 minutes from submitting application (DXCC) to being able to see changes in my band/mode totals and to print out new adjusted awards list totals. I believe its an automatic, no human interface system. It is surprising to see old QSOs being confirmed on LOTW. I had several from 5+ years ago that came up today that did not pop up on 01 March 2012. A few folks are going back to much old logs and inputting that old log data. I have had a few confirmations from 20+ years ago via LOTW. I have some QSLs to confirm QSOs for band/entity but must go through HQ; includes a few deleted entities and 160M QSO/QSLs. That would rule out the On-Line system that requires field checking of QSLs, not in a rush so I will keep collecting more QSLs and let the HQ backlog decrease. I believe the 3 systems will now contribute to reduced processing times for the slower methods. This can only be an improvement for us. Hq needs a THANKYOU from those of us out here.
