Teijo, I'm using the latest release 7.02(.15). I don't know how v6.04 is different when importing. If Paul is reading this could you add one more multiple QSO operation. I'd like to see one that would clear Upl Cnf to N so I wouldn't have to go through all the hazzle to export to adif and import back to Dx4win to clear the Upl Cnf and Upload Date -fields.

Teijo, the county updating was added in the 7.02 release. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jul 18 16:29:16 2006 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Shaw) Date: Tue Jul 18 16:39:30 2006 Subject: [Dx4win] Importing us counties from LoTW In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Guys, This was one of the things that the upgrade from 7.01 to 7.02 was about. Firstly make sure you have 7.02 build 15, there were earlier builds that this did not work correctly. There are a couple of things you need to do to get this to work. Firstly when you download the report file from LoTW there is a box to tick to include more data in the file, choose this option. Also note that there is a date option there also that is the start date for the file, I always leave it blank so I get everything every time. Now your report file should hold the info you want. Now some bad news. If you have previously done a report import and updated your "Upl Cfm" flag in DX4WIN to "Y" then the extra information will not be added to that QSO entry. The reason for this is so that when you do future LoTW report imports you do not want it adding multiple notes saying the same thing, cleaver really. It does mean however that you need to manually re set the "Y" "Upl Cfm" flag to "N" before you can import the extra data into that QSO. This is a one off as long as you always do a full report every time from now on, but unfortunately there is no batch way to make the change. It actually doesn't take long if you first do a filter for all the "Upl Cfm" flag set to "Y" then with the curser in that box and one finger on "N" another on F10 you can bang them through fairly quickly. When doing the import choose the last option, "Imported QSO sets Upload Confirmed flag" I was doubtful about this feature when it first came out did quite a bit of checking of what it was entering into MY log. But am now confident that if used correctly can be very useful. If you use the correct options every time it will add some good information to your log and does not overwrite or remove any already in place. Hope my ramblings help. 73 John ZL1BYZ. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Juha Rantanen Sent: Wednesday, 19 July 2006 5:49 a.m. To: REFLECTOR dx4win Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Importing us counties from LoTW Teijo Murtovaara wrote: > Juha Rantanen kirjoitti: >> Teijo Murtovaara wrote: >>> Has anybody been able to import us counties into DX4Win from LoTW >>> (adif-files)?

Teijo, I used the "Imported QSO sets Upload Confirmed flag". I didn't replace the existing data. But I did some testing and noticed that if you already have Upl Cnf = Y the extra data isn't imported. I just imported all the data since the beginning of LOTW and only 8 QSO's got the extra data imported. Those 8 QSO's weren't confirmed by LOTW before this latest import. So if one wants to import all the data with the "Imported QSO sets Upload Confirmed flag" -option the log must have all the Upl Cnf as N. But there is no way to change all the Upl Cnf from Y to N automatically. Or if someone knows a way please inform us. 73, Juha OH6XX _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
