This coming weekend (July 28/29), I hope to release DX4WIN.CTY #41. You can
see the release notes so far:
http://www.country-files.com/dx4win/history.htm#41
though I have not updated that page in a couple of weeks. I do have some
callsign exceptions and QSL manager changes in the queue. I'll see if I can
update the release notes tonight.
If you have any additions/corrections, please let me know before the weekend.

Hi John,
There's a hard way and an easy way. Both involve copying the logbook, then
deleting the QSOs with the "other" call.
The easy way:
Assuming you can separate the QSOs by date, copy your <oldcall>.DXL file to
<newcall>.DXL.
Next, create a filter selection (by date) in the "old" logbook that selects
only QSOs with the "new" call. Using that selection, QSO -> Multiple QSO
operations -> Delete QSOs (to delete all QSOs with the "new" call). Then you
will be left with a log that contains only QSOs with the "old" call. Save this
file.
Now open the "new" logbook and do the same thing, except create a filter
selection (by date) that selects only QSOs with the "old" call. Using that
selection, QSO -> Multiple QSO operations -> Delete QSOs (to delete all QSOs
with the "old" call). Then you will be left with a log that contains only QSOs
with the "new" call. Save this file.
The hard way:
If the QSOs can't be easily separated by date, you will have to assign a unique
group number to QSOs with the "new" call. This is a time-consuming manual
procedure, and is error prone. You can use date filters and QSO -> Multiple
QSO Operations -> Set Group Number to do it in bunches.
Once you're done, use F8 to select only QSOs with the special group number.
Now File -> Export and select DX4WIN6 format. Export your log. When prompted
to use the existing filter selection, answer Yes.
Now use QSO -> Multiple QSO Operations -> Delete QSOs to remove those QSOs from
the log. When prompted to use the existing filter selection, answer Yes. Save
this as "old".DXL. Also save the same file as "new".DXL.
File -> Open and select "new".DXL. Using multiple QSO operations, delete ALL
the QSOs from this log. The File -> Import/Export, select DX4WIN6 format, and
import the file you exported earlier. Save this logbook as "new".DXL
Note that I have not actually tried this, and I could have some of the steps
wrong. Just start by saving your ORIGINAL log in a SAFE place, you can always
go back to it.

Hi Dave,
There are four potential copies of your log, see my application note:
http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/nr6.htm
If none of those logs has the missing QSOs, I don't think there's much one can
do. Is the file size of the corrupted log close to the file size of any of the
backups? If it's the largest file, then there is a chance [EMAIL PROTECTED]
may be able to recover it. If it's much smaller, then probably not.

I -ALWAYS- maintain my "real" paper logbook and the
50+ year running 3x5 card file system. Entrust such
valuable information to (just) a computer system ... naah!
Missing the last four QSO's? I'd just open the log and enter
them into the computer's program. A couple of minutes
work and no wrinkled brow ...
