[Dx4win] PJ4G Country
PJ4G shows as prefix PJ2/D and country as Bonaire, Curacao in DX4WIN entry. Are both now two separate countries/entities? PJ4G shows as Curacao in QRZ.COM. Does the DX4WIN need to be updated for this call? 73, Bud W3LL __ 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] PJ4G Country
Bud, you haven't updated your country file in a LONG time. Or you entered the year wrong. http://www.country-files.com/dx4win/index.htm On Fri, Mar 8, 2013 at 8:41 AM, Bud Governale w...@arrl.net wrote: PJ4G shows as prefix PJ2/D and country as Bonaire, Curacao in DX4WIN entry.

[Dx4win] LABEL
When I click on QSO to add a new one, the Label and LoTW boxes have Y in each box. I can't find how to turn this off. Anyone know how to do this. I have looked but not sure what to change.

[Dx4win] LoTW Inconsistencies
Greetings - First order of business: Jim, AD1C, thanks a zillion for all the time and effort you put into databases and those cool utility programs. Let me know if you ever get out to the Baltimore/DC area; I'll ply you with good food and booze. There appear to be inconsistencies in my LoTW record, and I wonder if any others have similar issues, or if I am doing something wrong. A search of the DX4WIN reflector archives turns up several issues with LoTW not matching DX4WIN and how to cure that, but I find nothing about inconsistencies within LoTW itself. After doing a large LoTW upload, then a DXCC application (and waiting until it was processed), I ran dx4wlotw.exe, went through all of the mismatches and changed them so there were no mismatches between my Award Credit Matrix from ARRL and the DXCC Listing report generated by DX4WIN. After doing this, I would expect the CHECKED column in the DX4WIN report to match the AWARDED column on my LoTW Account Status page, but they are different. Each band score is different, and the DXCC Challenge score is over 100 counts different. ARRL thinks I have credit for more countries than DX4WIN does, in each case. I decided to check by band, starting with 160m. ARRL gives me credit for two more countries than DX4WIN lists as being checked. Selecting 160m, All Credits, sorted by prefix, and comparing that listing to the Award Credit Matrix, I find two countries on the 160m list that do not have corresponding X marks in their respective boxes on the Award Credit Matrix. Clicking on QSO Details for each of those QSOs shows that they are, in fact, confirmed through LoTW. This is not a case of selecting the wrong QSO, or a QSO that occurred before DXCC records were computerized. Both of these QSOs are within the past few years, are the only 160m QSOs with those countries, and show as confirmed contacts but do not appear in the Award Credit Matrix. This does NOT appear to be a problem with dx4win or dx4wlotw, but strictly a LoTW issue. Have any of you noticed this in your records? Is there a way (an easy way, hopefully) to correct it? Many thanks. 73, Mike Cizek W3MC __ 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

Both of these QSOs are within the past few years, are the only 160m QSOs with those countries, and show as confirmed contacts but do not appear in the Award Credit Matrix. The All Credits listing on LoTW shows selected credits, which are confirmations that LoTW would consider for adding to an application. They're not submitted or checked, so they won't show up as awarded. When you look at those credits on LoTW, what font are they in? Selected shows up as a plain font, applied as italic, and awarded (i.e. checked) as bold. If those two entities are not showing up as Selected (i.e. not bolded), then you can apply for those on LoTW. If those two entities are showing up in the credit matrix as awarded (bold), but they're not awarded in the Award Credit Matrix, then there's a problem with your DXCC data on LoTW. This does NOT appear to be a problem with dx4win or dx4wlotw, but strictly a LoTW issue. Have any of you noticed this in your records? Is there a way (an easy way, hopefully) to correct it? Many thanks. About the only thing I can suggest is to contact the LoTW help desk if the data is bad and ask them how to correct it. I'll bet that they'll have to go in to your DXCC record and fix it. 73, -Rick __ 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] LoTW Inconsistencies
1. As you probably know both LotW and QSLs count for DXCC. Be sure you have it ok in dx4win. Under FileawardsDXCC both QSL card and LotW boxes must be marked. 2. Be sure that you have downloaded all confirmed qsos from LotW. Make another download and choose an old date. Import these qsos in dx4win and see if anything has changed. I have more than one calls in LotW. When i download for sv1dpi, the suggested date is the last i made a download for any call. So there is a chance if you use anothe call some cfmd qsos never downloaded. Good luck 73...Kostas Stamatis,SV1DPI __ 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
