Hi Folks,
I wanted a quick and easy way of seeing what VUCC grid squares I need without
having to search DX4WIN in real time (during a band opening). I wrote a small
program which takes your VUCC band listing and generates an HTML file that you
can open up in your web browser and print. Here is the result for my 6 meter
grids:
http://dx4win.ad1c.us/vucc.htm
Bold grids are confirmed, normal are worked but not confirmed.
The program will allow you to pick the center of the plot, in my case ENxx. My
grid is FN42 and most grids to the north/east of me are ocean, so I wanted my
grid in the upper right corner of the plot.
I've found that if you view this using Mozilla Firefox, Print Preview in
landscape mode and scale "Shrink to Fit", that you can print the entire map on
an 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper. I could not do this same thing in Internet
Explorer, if someone wants to help here...
If you would find this program useful, let me know what features you would
like. I can probably have a test version ready some time this weekend. The
only major coding issue is to support bands *other than* the first band in the
VUCC listing (.CSV) file.

Joe,
I have same problem, with saving "bold" and also saving "paper size". In
each case it reverts to "regular" rather than "bold" and "letter" rather
than "A4".

I have been having problem with v. 7.02 and QSL labels.
When I set the label parameters in Databases/Labels, some of the
conditions will not stay set. Specifically, if I uncheck "COMMERCIAL"
and check "LINES" and set the callsign font to bold and then save those
conditions and then reopen Databases/Labels, they've returned to
checked, unchecked and regular respectively. In addition, when I
include "%%" in the greeting in order to print the group name, the label
is printed with actual "%%" and not the group name.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I don't remember having these
problems with v. 6.xx.
