Re: [Dx4win] Call sign letters to big

[Lee Hallin]

How many of you are wanting this ability?

For those that do, EXACTLY how are you indicating the "long" call in the Notes 
field?  And which Notes field (QSO or Call Notes)?

I think it should be fairly simple to automate the editing of the ADIF file if 
the "long" name in the Notes field is consistent so a program could look for it 
and then change the corresponding shortcall to longcall.

Going the other way (ADIF -> DX4WIN to set the LoTW Cnfm flag) would be more of 
a challenge but possible.

If you are interested in one or both programs, let me know.  If there is enough 
interest, I will see what I can come up with.

For those of us who upload to LoTW, however, you're going to have to 
edit the ADI file for these and any other incomplete entries (> 12 
chars) in order to have a QSO match, otherwise there will likely be no 
QSL (I am assuming the logs will not match unless there is a full 
callsign match - correct me if I'm wrong, please).

This is what it should look like:

Any line that contains  VE100VIMY has to be edited to 
VE100VIMY/XXX where XXX has to obviously be the suffix of the 
worked station, i.e. VE1, VY0, etc.

Once there's a match in the LoTW, you'll then have to check the LoTW 
Cnfm box for the relevant QSO in the log manually. All this goes for any 
other callsign longer than 12 characters.

Convoluted, but the only workaround for LoTW and any other electronic 
file upload/download, until Paul expands the Callsign entry field beyond 
12 characters. With the proliferation of such calls in recent years, 
this seems a must.

Re: [Dx4win] Call sign letters to big

[Alan Zack]

That is what I do plus I add the province as well
Example: VE100VIMY/VE9 NB

I am curious if this group will be using LoTW and if so how are they
submitting the calls they use

Re: [Dx4win] Call sign letters to big

[Art - W6KY via DX4WIN]

Put the real callsign in the 'notes'.

Also agree with Paul...

[Dx4win] Call sign letters to big

[Brian via DX4WIN]

Or just log the call sign as many characters as you can, then under notes for 
this call sign or notes for this QSO. Just add the correct call sign.

Does no good for LoTW uploads though... Just your personal log.
