[Dx4win] ARRL National Parks on the Air
Hi Folks, I released an updated Award database that matches the ARRL NPOTA list as of 29 December 2015. Many of the TR## units were recently added. There are currently 483 counters for the award. There are a handful of NPOTA "units" that count twice. These will cause problems in DX4WIN for award tracking. Here is the list: Benjamin Franklin National Memorial AA03,HP16 Constitution Gardens DZ02,DZ06 Craters of the Moon National Monument and PreserveMN21,PV05 Franklin Delano Roosevelt MemorialNM09,DZ06 Korean War Veterans NM13,DZ06 Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial NM18,DZ06 Thomas Jefferson Memorial NM25,DZ06 Vietnam Veterans Memorial NM26,DZ06 Washington Monument NM27,DZ06 World War II Memorial NM28,DZ06 Because you can not log more than one custom award name/value per QSO, you can't enter both ARRL codes into DX4WIN. There are several ways to work around it: 1. Work the same station on a different band/mode and log the "other" Custom Award Value 2. Log the QSO twice, setting different custom award values for each QSO. Note that QSOs in DX4WIN must be at least one second different, or they will be treated as duplicate QSOs. 3. Add a note to the "Notes for this QSO" field. I put the word NPOTA there so I can search for it later using F8 (i.e. "also NPOTA AA11"). If you are spotting NPOTA stations, it helps to put the word NPOTA in the spot comment, along with the ARRL code. For example: DX KV4T 10140 PSK31 NPOTA HP30 CC Cluster, among others, will let you search spots by comment. I do it this way: SH/DX 'np' It will find all spots with the text "np" in the comments field. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C,, 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
Re: [Dx4win] Missing QSOs
There's nothing in particular wrong with using a SD Card for a backup. As long it's not on the same hard drive as your primary database, it's a step up from hoping that your hard drive never fails. Murphy's law: the hard drive WILL fail before you back up your only P5 QSO. I use Dropbox (www.dropbox.com) for storing my backup. That way, it's "in the cloud" so always backed up. (And it's stored on my PC, my Mac, and my Phone in case Dropbox ever closes shop.) Multiple redundant copies in the cloud means it's never lost. That's the value of the cloud - it becomes Somebody Else's Problem to store your data reliably. OK, I'm a "Cloud Ninja" (that's what it says on the sticker on my Mac!) but for the price (free!) it's a pretty good option. 73, -Rick On Sun, Jan 3, 2016 at 5:04 PM, Alan Zackwrote: > A long time ago I did a SAVE AS and changed the destination from the SAVE > folder to a thumb drive as a form of backup.

I've been logging so far with > npota in the "notes for the QSO" as you suggested, and I realized when I > went to fill in the custom award that I've only got the number, not the > name. Go to Custom Award field and change it to "ARRL National Parks on the Air". Then use the Tab key to go into the Custom award value field. While in that field, type the F1 key and you will get a list of all possible award values. You can use the F2 key to change the sort order from "Name" to "Reference". Then in the same window, start typing the Reference #, i.e. NP30 and it will go to that entry. Double-click the highlighted entry to enter it into your log. -- Jim Reisert AD1C,, 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

Re: [Dx4win] Missing QSOs
A long time ago I did a SAVE AS and changed the destination from the SAVE folder to a thumb drive as a form of backup. I made some new QSO's and saved and closed DX4WIN and removed the thumb drive. Next time I opened DX4WIN it told me it couldn't find my DXL file as it expected to find the thumb drive. I opened the SAVE window/folder and selected the DXL file found there. When DX4WIN opened I noticed my most recent QSO's were missing. Then I realized they had been saved in the thumb drive the last time I closed DX4WIN. I copied the more recent DXL file in the thumb drive to the SAVE file/folder and overwrote the older DXL. When I reopened DX4WIN all was FB. So if you save your log DXL file somewhere else other than the SAVE folder as a means of backup you may be creating a problem next time you open DX4WIN. >From that lesson I now do the following when I want to copy/save my DXL file in another place for example a thumb drive. I go to FILE and select SAVE AS (not SAVE). This opens the SAVE AS window. I find my DXL file (or any other I want to copy/backup). I right click the DXL file and on the drop down menu select SEND TO>. I can then select any other drive, etc, to send the file to, in my case mostly a thumb drive. As another means of safely back up I use my PC SD slot. I leave a SD card in the PC SD slot all the time except when I might transfer photos from my camera. I went to FILE/PREFERENCE/QSO. In that window there is a small window SECONDARY BACK UP DEVICE. In that little window I put the location of my SD card, in my case it is named drive G: So now my back up info is stored on the SD card. Just wondering if anyone finds any fault in using a SD card in this manner. My PC SD slot is not used 99 per cent of the time.

[Dx4win] dx4win connecting to Kenwood ts950sdx.
Problem finally solved. These are the steps I went through: 1. Tried HRD6 no go. 2. Bought the USB cable to the 950 no go. Note: The part I forgot to mention is the laptop has two partions. One is win 7 home 64 bit and win 7 pro 32 bit. I was moving all my ham stuff to to the win 7 home partion. 3. Tried loading a new copy of dx4win to win 7 pro partion. 4. It communicated with the 950. The HRD worked also.

DX4WIN 8.05 (and probably earlier versions) works just fine on both 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows 10. I have been using it for years, first 64-bit Windows 7, and now 64-bit Windows 10, with no problems. It must be something else. -- Jim Reisert AD1C,, 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
