QSOs will match without a valid callsign certificate for the old call.
You need to keep the callsign certificate active so you can upload new QSOs
from the old callsign, including uploads of corrected QSOs.
Otherwise, it's not worth hanging onto.

Re: [Dx4win] Windows 11 Issue
Same for me. Start with the basics. What is the file that's being double-clicked upon? Is it the actual dx4win.exe, or is it a shortcut that might be pointing to the wrong file? Right click the file and choose "Open". Does that work? Obviously dx4win is installed and can be executed (as double-click on a log file opens it), so something is not working properly for whatever they're clicking. (I've seen cases where people saved the TQSL installer on their desktop and double click that to open TQSL, then complain that it runs the installer rather than opening TQSL.) 73, -Rick On Tue, May 30, 2023 at 5:25 AM David Gould wrote: > Hi Paul, > > Not sure if any help, but having just checked on my (up-to-date) W11 > machine, DX4Win starts perfectly OK with me if I double-click the > executable in File manager. > > (I normally start with a desktop Icon.) > > 73, > > Dave G3UEG > > > > On 29/05/2023 21:48, Paul van der Eijk wrote: > > Hi, I'm wondering if someone can provide some insight! > > > > I have a customer who cannot run dx4win by double-clicking on the > > executable.

Re: [Dx4win] lotwreport.adi Importation
Luc, I think this is a side effect of your use of LoTW Look - it is periodically downloading your QSOs so when you go back to LoTW to do your own downloads, LoTW defaults to the date of the last time the App pulled your ADIF details. You'll need to keep track of your last QSL download date separately and use that (back-dated a few days) when downloading for DX4WIN. 73, -Rick On Mon, Jun 20, 2022 at 2:38 PM Luc wrote: > Thanks Zoran, > it should be like you tell me, but unfortunately it does not. > It does not maintain the date of the last import, but every time I ask for > a report, the current default date appears, and I have checked on several > computers. > I just wanted if this happens to more colleagues, or only to me. > Greetings. > > El lun, 20 jun 2022 a las 18:29, WA7AA () escribió: > > > On 20-Jun-22 09:47, Luc wrote: > > > Therefore, I have verified that if the report is generated by the > current > > > date, which comes by default, there is no confirmation, I must > download a > > > report with anterior date, 1 or 2 years before for the QSO to be > > confirmed. > > > I think this does not happen to everyone, only to me. > > > What am I doing wrong? > > > > > > When you go to Download Report in the LOTW, the date in the "Show QSLs > > received since:" auto-fills with the date of your last LOTW report > > download.

Re: [Dx4win] VK5 DX Zones
So, a possibly stupid question, but I have to ask. VK1XXX goes for a portable operation in Perth., What callsign do they use? In other words, why does VK5 always mean CQ Zone 30? Does VK1XXX use VK5XXX if they're in Southern Australia? (Sort of how UK hams change prefix from G to GI to GJ to GU, etc. Logbook of the World is pretty good about rejecting bad zone numbers, so I'm surprised this one was missed. 73, -Rick On Mon, Jun 13, 2022 at 5:00 PM Dan Violette wrote: > Alan, > > Of course, you can look on the LoTW website for this QSO and see what > VK5DOC > has entered on his certificate.

Mike, You're probably better off using a logging program on your Android device and uploading the QSOs into DX4WIN.

Re: [Dx4win] Adif fields
ADIF says this: "COMMENT: comment field for QSO recommended use: information of interest to the contacted station's operator <https://www.adif.org/312/ADIF_312.htm#QSO_Field_CALL>" That doesn't say anything about whether this is a per-QSO or a per-QTH flag. Consequently, exporting this flag as a COMMENT and assuming that it's going to be treated one way or the other isn't a valid assumption. DXKeeper happens to get it right for this specific usage; it would be wrong for others. There's no way to express "This contact is a duplicate" in ADIF. Duplicate QSOs are a contest issue, and don't matter for most logging programs. If a contest program wants to export their "duplicate QSO" flag, they can't redefine the COMMENT field to meet their requirements. Export that information as an APP_ tag, or propose a new tag. 73, -Rick On Tue, Sep 14, 2021 at 2:11 PM OZ0J Joe wrote: > -Oprindelig meddelelse- > Fra: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net På > vegne af RCSEG > > > Other loggers, such as DXKeeper, on the other hand, do it right. > > Can you define "right" here? > > What are the name of the fields in DXKeeper to do it "right"? > DXKeeper is a much newer program than DX4WIN and I guess that there are > some extra fields in DXKeeper that DX4WIN does not have. > > > 73 Joe, OZ0J > > > > __ > 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 -- Rick Murphy, D.

Re: [Dx4win] Download Report from LOTW
When a QSO is uploaded, TQSL will use the BAND if it's set and if not, try to convert the FREQ to a band. The current version ignores the FREQ if it's outside of the band. Prior versions of TQSL would reject a QSO if the BAND and FREQ weren't consistent. In short, you shouldn't worry about the Logbook QSOs as they're going to use the BAND for your QSOs when generating a match. 73, -Rick On Mon, Dec 21, 2020 at 6:31 PM Donn Taylor wrote: > I recently found that I could download my LOTW confirmations into DX4WIN. > I generated the report, but then there was a file generated of "Not > Found".

Re: [Dx4win] QSO time issues when importing
That's one of the great things about "standards" - all you have to do is assert that there's one. LoTW only sees the TIME_ON and not the TIME_OFF. So, the time that the QSO started is what LoTW tracks, not when it ends. 73, -Rick On Mon, Jun 15, 2020 at 1:36 PM wrote: > To Paul and the group, > > > > I continue to have problems with dupes being created when importing digital > QSOs from WSJT-X.

Re: [Dx4win] LOTW
Yes, the intent is that if logging programs export full station locations, this will stop bogus uploads. If loggers don't export the QTH data, nothing changes. And, you can always turn this off. 73, -Rick On Tue, Apr 7, 2020 at 8:41 PM WA7AA wrote: > On 07-Apr-20 17:29, Rick Murphy wrote: > > Just for the record, I use DX4WIN.

Re: [Dx4win] LOTW
Just for the record, I use DX4WIN. I've seen zero issues with upload here for DX4WIN logs throughout the effort to add this functionality. You're misinterpreting things. This is a case where IF a logger chooses to export QSOs with location data, then it will be checked. If it's not there, then it won't be. There's no new requirement. Please don't panic - this is a new feature, not some new requirement that will suddenly require loggers to adapt. AND you can turn it all off if you want. 73, -Rick On Tue, Apr 7, 2020 at 8:16 PM WA7AA wrote: > Hello, everyone. > > It seems that ARRL has released a TQSL version 2.5.2 that now involves > logging programs including additional information in the ADIF file (or > overriding the check somewhere in the TQSL program).

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Grid vs LOTW
If you could post the ADIF details for the QSO downloaded from LoTW it would help with diagnosis - specifically just the grid details. (Some loggers don't capture the full Gridsquare details, just "KM17", not "KM17uw". If you can say specifically what LoTW provides, it'll be useful.) 73, -Rick On Sun, Jan 13, 2019 at 9:38 PM Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: > > Here is an example. I worked SX60RAAG one time only.

Re: [Dx4win] Check For Updates Won't Run
This has been posted multiple times. To update DX4WIN 9, you use Help/Check For Updates. The DX4WIN updater should never be used for 9.x or later. 73, -Rick On Thu, Mar 29, 2018 at 9:57 PM, R.T.Liddy <k...@ameritech.net> wrote: > OOoops Let's try this as plain text! > > I've been out of town since 2/1/18.

Re: [Dx4win] What do you do for LoTW DXCC_QSLs... entries that have wrong or bogus dates?
These are probably pre-computerization QSLs. I have several DXCC records that have no info other than a entity name since I've never submitted a paper card or LoTW credit since computerization. For example, this one: *Worked Station* *Worked* 002 *DXCC* ABU AIL ISLANDS (DELETED) (2) *Date* 1945-11-15 *Mode* UNKNOWN *Band* UNKNOWN There's no QSO details for LoTW to provide since there's no QSO details recorded. I occasionally submit QSLs to fill in the details for these, especially back when a submission allowed 100 QSLs. 73 -Rick On Mon, Feb 12, 2018 at 6:32 PM, Lee Hallin <hall...@lanecc.edu> wrote: > I have found that sometimes the entry in the DXCC_QSLs... file (that you > download from LoTW to show DXCC confirmations) has the wrong date.

Re: [Dx4win] LOTW - DXCC QSL Download
That question on the LoTW site is important - there's a bunch of old QSLs from the days of paper records that don't have full QSO information. For example, I have some QSLs that are just "Mixed" credits for a given entity - no callsign, no date/time. Looking at that QSL will help figure out what's off for that QSL. 73, -Rick On Tue, Nov 28, 2017 at 8:23 AM, Rick Murphy <k1mu.nos...@gmail.com> wrote: > OK, that's strange.

Re: [Dx4win] FW: USING FT8
Andy, Log the QSOs as some mode that's allowed, such as TOR. Then edit the ADIF file to change TOR to FT8 prior to uploading to LoTW. It's important to use a mode that's three characters long - TOR, SSB, etc. as that allows the change from "TOR" to "FT8" to be done without having to change the length of the mode string (MODE:3 means three characters of MODE.) 73, -Rick On Sun, Oct 8, 2017 at 2:08 PM, andyphewitt <andyphew...@btopenworld.com> wrote: > > > > > From: andyphewitt [mailto:andyphew...@btopenworld.com] > Sent: 08 October 2017 14:07 > To: DX4Win sales (sa...@dx4win.com) > Subject: USING FT8 > > > > Are any members of the reflector, still using DX4Win, now using FT8? > > > > I have just started doing so and just uploaded some QSOs into DX4W, they > all > appeared as SSB as the program does not recognise FT8.

The LoTW site will also discard duplicate QSOs, so no problems there. Now, if you've uploaded logs with a station location using the wrong callsign, then those QSOs are on the LoTW server and can't be deleted. They're called "zombies" since they're hopefully dead QSOs, but possibly could generate a QSL if the station you worked also uploaded with the wrong call worked. Nothing you can do here, so not worth worrying about. I would be careful about downloading everything from LoTW and installing it back into DX4WIN if you think some QSOs were uploaded in error. That can cause duplicates to be created. 73, -Rick > > Thanks Again, > Mike / W8DN > DX4Win Since Version 0.97 > WN8NBO in 1964 > __ > 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 > -- Rick Murphy, CISSP-ISSAP, K1MU/4, Annandale VA USA __ 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

Not really sure what > the "station location" is used for, if anything, in LOTW A "Station Location" defines a QTH and, usually, an associated callsign.

"Ohio - W8DN" and so forth. Perhaps we should consider changing the name of a "Station Location" to "QSL Card".

Re: [Dx4win] OT - LOTW w/Multiple Callsigns ??
As Mike said, what you need to to is to set up a station location that defines a QTH with that callsign. Then you choose that station location when signing the log. Yes, that can mean that you need to duplicate the QTH information for the "Ohio - Old Call" station location if both calls were from the same QTH. (You can avoid that by setting the callsign for the station location to "None". TQSL will then ask you what callsign certificate to use for the QSOs being uploaded.) 73, -Rick On Wed, Dec 14, 2016 at 3:01 PM, Mike Rhodes <w...@roadrunner.com> wrote: > ...finally getting around to uploading my logs from my two previous > callsigns (WN/WA8NBO) to LOTW.

Re: [Dx4win] LOTW report question
"I wasn't even on the air that day". Um, no. YOU uploaded a QSO for that day. Who you QSOd with ALSO uploaded a QSO for that contact. It matched, and generated a QSL. Someone else saying that they worked you never shows up in your LoTW downloads. Please check again. (It's quite possible for this to happen if your computer has been compromised, but if that's the case then the DXCC desk needs to mark all of your QSOs as invalid and ineligible for DXCC until you clear this up.)

Re: [Dx4win] Radio control with no serial port question
If the USB serial adapter is showing as an unknown device, then you'll need to install the device driver for that USB serial adapter.

Re: [Dx4win] HELP dx4win on new win10 computer
Howard, Start with trying to solve one problem at a time. Your Win10 system can't connect to the Internet and can't connect to your rig. Trying to solve these together makes it harder to diagnose the causes as they're not related. Don't plug in the serial port device. Can DX4WIN now connect to the Internet? If not, try to solve that - perhaps your antivirus or firewall is preventing it. Then, plug in the serial port device. Is DX4WIN still able to connect to the Internet? If no, what error are you seeing? If so, then you've solved the first problem. Assuming that Internet connectivity is now working, what error do you see when you configure DX4WIN to use your FTDI serial port? Without knowing what is not working and what indication you have that it's not working, there's not much to do here but guess. I second Robert's suggestion to use something other than DX4WIN to test the serial port. Device Manager doesn't tell you that the device is working, it only tells you that it's recognized. Counterfeit FTDI devices are widely available and often don't work very well, so you may just have a bad device. (For some of them, the FTDI device driver recognizes that it's a counterfeit and refuses to work.) 73, -Rick On Mon, Nov 2, 2015 at 3:57 PM, Howard K2HK <ho...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Usually can work it out myself but this has me stymied.

Re: [Dx4win] 60 m band on DX4WIN
This isn't a DX4WIN problem, it's a configuration issue with TQSL. ARRL's configuration for the 60m band is 5.250 MHz to 5.405 MHz. 5.439 is higher than that upper limit. However, 5.439 MHz seems to be only allocated as a 60m channel in Spain. Since 5.439 MHz isn't permitted in the Czech Republic, I can only assume that your QSO took place from Spain. :) Looking at the jumble of allocations for 60m ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60-meter_band) it appears that Somalia has the widest allocation, from 5060 KHz to 5450 KHz.

Re: [Dx4win] W1AW centennal award and DC entry?
I'm sure that it counts for the Centennial award. However, it doesn't matter what state you tell DX4WIN that operation came from as that's not sent to LoTW. When ARRL signs their log for upload, they'll specify a location for those QSOs. In other words, what you have in your log for their location is ignored. What I was explaining is why DX4WIN doesn't have DC as a WAS state selection. 73, -Rick On Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 12:35 PM, Dan Kovatch w8...@buckeye-express.com wrote: Then I'm confused.

Re: [Dx4win] Bug when importing from LOTW
That's correctly formatted ADIF - the Russian Oblast code is put into the STATE field, which is overloaded for entities like Canada (province codes), Russia (Oblasts), Mexico (States), Argentina, Brazil, etc. STATE:n is used for all of those. See http://www.adif.org/304/ADIF_304.htm#Primary_Administrative_Subdivisions for a list of entities with these. The LoTW site recently started putting this information into it's ADIF exports, when the station that you worked supplies this information in their station location.

Re: [Dx4win] Moving DX4WIN to another PC?
The move to a new computer is just like an upgrade since when you upgrade, you install a clean copy then move the necessary files to the new installation from the old one. On the old computer, create an INI file using File/Preferences/Write INI file. Copy that .INI file, your licence key (from the DX4WIN directory), and your log files from the SAVE directory to a thumb drive. If you've modified them, take the SAVE\dx4win.rep and SAVE\dx4win.tcp files from the old computer as well. Install DX4WIN on the new computer. Restore your license key to the new DX4WIN folder, then the logs to the SAVE folder. Run dx4win, merge the .INI file and open your log.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Digest, Vol 110, Issue 16
That's kind of the idea - not asking people to worry about strangely named files like something.tq8. The File menu of TQSL now has two entries for handling log files. Sign and Upload allows you to supply an ADIF or CABRILLO log, sign it with your call, location, etc, and directly upload it to Logbook of the World. You're done at that point, other than waiting for QSLs to show up on LoTW. The second entry, Sign and Save, signs your log and creates a TQ8 file that you can upload to Logbook at your convenience. That works the same way it always did. We need to allow both Sign and Upload and Sign and Save because not everybody is connected to the Internet all of the time. If your logging computer is online, use Sign and Upload - let the computer do the work! The team working on improving TQSL is always looking for constructive comments and criticism. We want to make this work better for everyone.

Re: [Dx4win] LoTW problem v 1.14.1
TQSL reports a successful upload once it is complete, so if you didn't see that message then there was some problem during the upload. You don't get a reply e-mail from LoTW when it accepts an automatically uploaded log (you will get an e-mail confirmation if you manually upload a tq8 by sending it to LoTW using email). If you tried the upload and it appears to have worked, you can verify the upload by logging in to the LoTW site and looking at your activity. You should see a file with lotw-upl and the date as being processed. As has already been mentioned, if you want to upload a log on your own, use Sign and Save, not Sign and Upload. 73, -Rick On Sun, Jun 2, 2013 at 10:22 PM, Dick White white...@sbcglobal.net wrote: First time to try LoTW TQSL v. 1.14.1 I have tried two times to up load a file to LoTW.

Re: [Dx4win] TQSL 1.14.1
Jim is right about this- the 1.14 upgrade doesn't remove your certificates or station setup. Those files are stored in %AppData%\TrustedQSL and shouldn't have been deleted during the upgrade. Did you perhaps run the old installer as Administrator and now not running it as Administrator? It may be that your certificates and station data are stranded in an Administrator folder.. If you could, please search your computer for a file called station_data. It should be in c:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\TrustedQSL on an XP system if I remember correctly. 73, -Rick On Sun, Jun 2, 2013 at 10:21 PM, Jim Reisert AD1C jjreis...@alum.mit.eduwrote: On Sun, Jun 2, 2013 at 11:01 AM, William Osborne wosborn...@gmail.com wrote: I downloaded this and installed it; uninstalling the old one automatically.

Re: [Dx4win] New TQSL not ready for prime time
Joseph, You're entitled to your opinion. However, to say it's Not ready for prime time is incorrect, particularly for DX4WIN users. The only serious problem found in 1.14 was for Mac users that are trying to upload duplicate QSOs to LoTW. None of the testers reported this problem prior to the final release. Please note that the major performance problems with LoTW several months ago were caused almost entirely by people uploading massive logs repeatedly, so this defect really shouldn't matter unless someone is deliberately trying to deny service to other users. There's an easy workaround for people running in to this problem on MacOS. Of the other problems you mention, the invalid zone problem is already fixed with no TQSL update needed. The command line problem isn't anything normal users would run in to, and has no impact whatsoever on DX4WIN users. Actually, the Mac problem also has no impact for DX4WIN users, either. So, sure, stay with what you have - you get no usable error messages when certificate imports fail, you're allowed to upload QSOs with incorrect zones without being warned, you can upload QSOs to Logbook as often as you like, you can upload logs that'll get rejected by Logbook because your certificate has expired, you can't upload directly to Logbook, and you'll be allowed to upload using locations where there's no valid certificate (which Logbook will reject). You won't be notified when the fixes for the minor problems are available, and can't automatically update to fix any defects. If any of those problems are issues for you, there's an updated version of TQSL available on the sourceforge site - http://sourceforge.net/projects/trustedqsl/files/TrustedQSL/ - so please give the update a try. We're doing what we can to improve the user experience and appreciate constructive comments. I'm having a hard time undestanding the point of your message. Please explain.

Re: [Dx4win] LoTW Inconsistencies

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. 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] Migrating to Win 7 from XP

If I put it under c:\ upon execution of dx4win it would open a window saying it could not find the log and dx4win ended up minimized in the task bar. From that point I could not open it. One way to correct this if I'm not mistaken is to use Windows Explorer to find the log on the new computer in the c:\dx4win\ directory, then double click the log file. DX4WIN should then run and open the log. Now you can shut it down and when restarting it should find the log in the new place. So whats the downside of having it installed in program files on win 7 DX4WIN writes files to the same directory where the program is installed (log files, backup files, etc.). This kind of behavior has been deprecated since Windows 2000 or so, but programs have gotten away with ignoring this advice for a long time. Unfortunately, Microsoft now enforces that restriction (since Vista and now Windows 7), causing the files to be invisibly redirected to other parts of the disk. This can cause all kinds of unexpected behavior when Windows loses track of the files it's redirected. When this happens, programs don't work right, files get lost, and so forth. In the absence of a fix to DX4WIN, the best solution is to not install it under Program Files. and also is there any downside in installing by copying the directory across and not using the install process which puts entries in the registry. You can use the installation program to install it wherever you want, then move the license key and log file over from the old machine. That's probably the best way to do it, as the installation program will take care of driver installation and set up file type associations so clicking on a .DXL file will cause it to be opened by DX4WIN. I don't think there's anything else of consequence written to the registry during DX4WIN install, but having those associations set up is helpful. 73, -Rick -- Rick Murphy, CISSP-ISSAP, K1MU/4, Annandale VA USA __ 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

LoTW doesn't keep much data from your log, so you'll lose a lot of information. LoTW stores Callsign, band (TX and RX), mode, date, start time, frequency (TX and RX), Satellite name, and propagation mode. Nothing else from the log is stored by LoTW, which means you can't get it back that way. You'll lose any notes you have for QSOs, none of the contacts will be marked as confirmed (except for those QSLed on LoTW), information on when you sent out QSLs, and so forth. All of the DXCC status will be lost (nothing will be marked as checked). This will take forever for you to fix if there's a large number of QSOs. And, I don't think this will help you in any case, as you'll end up with exactly the same problem you currently have: you'll be using the current country file to determine the entity for each contact in the new log, which should end up with the same set of bad mappings to entities.

Dick KS0M Dick, According to the DXCC Applications Received page, your application was received at the DXCC desk on March 5th, so it's only been 4 weeks since they received it. http://www.arrl.org/dxcc-applications-received I can't explain why the long delay through the mail, but that's when it was logged in at HQ. 73, -Rick -- Rick Murphy, CISSP-ISSAP, K1MU/4, Annandale VA USA __ 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] eQSL Confirmations
On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 6:44 PM, Bud Governale, W3LL w...@arrl.net wrote: I uploaded to eQSL DX4WIN logbook contacts from the 160M SSB contest. DX4WIN asked if I wanted to upload 496 contacts. That was the correct number of contacts made so I said yes. I have the generated .adi file which was uploaded to eQSL. A few days after the contest I downloaded the eQSL report (which I have) and imported it into DX4WIN. I was surprised to see all 496 contacts were confirmed. I then went into eQSL to see who was confirmed. Only saw about 40 confirmations on eQSL. Bud, I've had this problem in the past with DX4WIN and LoTW. I downloaded a big chunk of my log from LoTW and loaded it into DX4WIN. That caused ALL of those QSOs to be marked as confirmed where most of them weren't. Whatever you use to download QSLs from eQSL must include ONLY confirmed QSOs. The DX4WIN import assumes that they're all confirmations and sets the eQSL Confirmed' flag. I now need a way to purge all the bogus eQSL confirmations and find out how to fix the confirmation issue. I suspect that there's a way to clear the eQSL confirmed flag using Multiple QSO operations but someone else will need to help you with this. Once you've cleared the flag, you can re-download confirmations from eQSL and add them to DX4WIN. 73, -Rick -- Rick Murphy, CISSP-ISSAP, K1MU/4, Annandale VA USA __ 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

Importing an ADIF file from N1MM into DX4WIN after a contest, and then uploading the resulting DX4WIN ADIF file to LoTW will produce the error. Only my call (K4CIA) and United States of America will show in the QSO detail. My TQSL file has all the correct information, but it does not transfer to a QSO from the imported N1MM files. QSOs from my normal DX4WIN QSOs show the proper Detail...state/zone, etc. No idea why but maybe some of you smarter guys can figure it out and post a fix. Further, my N1MM configuration has everything correct as well. If your logs on Logbook of the World do not contain state information, that's because you did not select a state when you configured your station location in TQSL. The state information doesn't come from your logbook (either N1MM or DX4WIN). Start up TQSL on your system and chose Edit Locations from the Station menu. From the Edit Station Locations menu, click on the location that you're using and then click Edit... to start up the location wizard. The first page has your Grid Square info and zones. Click Next once those are correct. The next page has your State and County. Those are probably empty in your case (or, they were empty when you signed your log initially). Once those are correct, click Next again. Click Finish to complete the wizard. Now you can re-export the QSOs in question, sign them using TQSL, and re-upload to LoTW. Those will now have a state defined for your station location. 73, -Rick -- Rick Murphy, CISSP-ISSAP, K1MU/4, Annandale VA USA __ 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] Alt+S No Longer Working
Tom, Sometimes Windows gets confused about what modifier keys are down and thinks you're pressing Alt-Shift-S, not Alt-S. You can fix that by pressing then releasing the Ctrl, Shift, Alt, and Start keys. Be sure to do this with the Alt and Ctrl on the right side of your keyboard as well. Once you do that, try Alt-S again. Hopefully that will fix it. 73, -Rick On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 10:56 PM, Thomas Schwinn w4...@bellsouth.netwrote: Yesterday, like everyday for the past 10+ years, I used Alt+S to save my log after each QSO.

[Dx4win] How NOT to download contacts from LoTW into DX4WIN
I like to tell my children that I only look smart because I remember when I make a mistake and that I've made lots of mistakes. Also, that the best way to avoid making a mistake is to let someone else make it first. Here's a big mistake that I made that you probably want to avoid. Some of the contacts in my DX4WIN log are a bit of a mess, mostly due to portable stations. My old logger used to require calls to be in prefix/home-call format - GU0/WA1SPT, for example. Thus folks who I QSOd that did things the other way - WA1SPT/GU0 - wouldn't match in LoTW. I've cleaned up a bunch of those and fixed a bunch of contacts using Jim's DX4WIN to LoTW comparison tool. Then I had the bright idea, now that LoTW was all up to date, to download ALL of my QSOs from LoTW into DX4WIN to update the DX4WIN side. I used my webpage (http://www.rickmurphy.net/lotwquery.htm) to download my entire log (including QSL detail) and used LoTW/Import from LoTW in DX4WIN to import that log. That was a spectacularly bad idea. I found this out when I generated a submission report and found hundreds of bogus QSOs selected for submission. I originally couldn't see why, but then the light went on: all of them were marked as confirmed on LoTW. In fact, every QSO in my log was marked as confirmed on LoTW in DX4WIN! Why did this happen? When you download from LoTW for importing to DX4WIN, you must only download QSLs (confirmed contacts) not all QSOs. DX4WIN assumes that everything you import from LoTW is a QSL and marks the QSO accordingly. To fix my bonehead move, I updated all of my QSOs to clear the LoTW Confirmed flag, downloaded QSLs only from DX4WIN and imported. Problem solved. If you use my query page to download your log, be sure to tick the Report on QSL records only checkbox. Otherwise, bad things happen. :-) (Oh, and there's nothing wrong with how DX4WIN handles the log. If you use the LoTW download page, you get a set of contact details that don't include enough information to KNOW that they're confirmed or not, but since that function only exports QSLs DX4WIN is doing what it must do.) 73, -Rick -- Rick Murphy, CISSP-ISSAP, K1MU/4, Annandale VA USA __ 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
