[Dx4win] W1AW centennal award and DC entry?
I'm working on the ARRL's centennial award and last evening I worked W1AW/3 who is in DC. How do I tell DX4WIN this is Washington DC and not a state in the QSO state entry box? When I try and put DC in the state box a drop down window with the states pop up but I don't see DC listed? Thanks.

From the WAS rules: The District of Columbia may be counted for Maryland. 73, -Rick On Fri, Oct 3, 2014 at 7:46 AM, George goofy...@rochester.rr.com wrote: I'm working on the ARRL's centennial award and last evening I worked W1AW/3 who is in DC.

Re: [Dx4win] W1AW centennal award and DC entry?
Then I'm confused. If DC counts for Maryland then why have DC operate when Maryland has already been on? Maybe I'm reading too much into this. The question is does DC count for the Centennial as a separate entity (since it's not a state) and if so how to make DX4WIN correct for the LOTW. -Original Message- From: Rick Murphy Sent: Friday, October 03, 2014 8:11 AM To: George Cc: DX4WIN Subject: Re: [Dx4win] W1AW centennal award and DC entry?

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.

The STATE field could truly be used like the Administrative Subdivision field in the ADIF spec. Then it could support DC or AB (Alberta, VE6) or UL (Ulyanovskaya, UA4L) or any other number of such things, as long as the WAS award module understand that there are only 50 states, not 51. And the abbreviation must be valid for a given (DXCC) Prefix. 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
