Hi Thor Had chance to look at this; had some problems getting the SELECTION to work though !!
It's OK now; I seem to have lost my filters in the main log (now fixed) So FILTER (F8) is only a temporary filter; by pressing ESC you go back to the full log SELECTION looks like a filter that applies until you decide that you are finished, and look at the whole log; right ? I see the advantages in reporting DXCC status, say by SELECTION call sign, too. It would meet my criteria for combining my GD logs, and for anyone else who had travelled and wants to keep their logs integrated, but be able to chase awards separately. For those who are setting Groups per contest; I only see it as a way to correlate their country score; but I would use the contest logger to do that. I see no real advantage to assigning a group to every contests, but that's my opinion. Maybe by groups of contest; for instance if I wanted to see how many IOTA's I had ever worked in IOTA contests, then that might be good to define an IOTA CONTEST selection, same with CQWW etc... Has anyone found a practical limit to log size in numbers of QSO's; not that I'm there yet, but I know that the bigger the log the longer it takes to load (and the bigger the file size!!!) 73 Dave G3NKC PS - I left Kosovo (or Kosova!) off my country list; I'll wait for a positive indication before I even think about adding it !!! -----Original Message----- From: Thorvaldur Stefansson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 16 February 2008 17:35 To: Dave Sharred Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Multiple QSOs change on QSO NOTES - Group Numbers Dave, I have more than 30 groups, operations from several dxcc countries and multiple callsigns from within TF all in the same log file (TF4M.DXL). When filtering by Group the F8 search option is not used, rather you use SELECTION which you previously define to choose between the call signs. This way, you can create a selection which covers all your operations from a certain dxcc entity for example your GD operations and you will then have all DX4WINs reporting available for that group. You should import your various GD operations into your main log, each into their separate groups. You can then open the SAME CALL window and you will see there previous contacts with a station and the call you used to make the QSO. Even if you import the GD logs into your main log, they stay separate when you start using the SELECTION feature. 73 Thor, TF4M On 16/02/2008, Dave Sharred <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi All; I maybe missed the point, but I really wonder what you guys are doing to even think about running out of Group numbers. I don't understand anyone's need really to group by year or by contest; since you would still need to do a search operation (F8) to filter by Group. You might as well do a search by date in that case. I use Groups in my main log to differentiate from G3NKC and G3NKC/P, and I think I set up GQ3NKC - so call sign variants. For my GD contest operations, I currently hold separate logs for GD0EMG, MD6V, and MD4K; even though I have been thinking about the merits of merging those logs (might be nice to see a complete DXCC achievement, for instance); but I often think these would be outweighed by the overhead when doing the QSLling chores (when someone requests a card, I normally QSL all QSO's with our particular contest call. I might end up selecting QSL's for all call's; meaning I have 3 labels that would have to go on 3 cards). ON balance I think those logs will stay separate. 73 Dave G3NKC -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of John Balsillie Sent: 15 February 2008 23:06 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Dx4win] Multiple QSOs change on QSO NOTES - Group Numbers Hi Bill, I'm not sure how you allocate your group numbers. I started giving a number to every contest, IE CQ WPX CW,2005,2006,2007 ETC and could see I would fast run out of numbers. On a suggestion from a local user I now only have one number for each contest and use the same number each year. Its a simple matter to filter by year or mode as and when you require. This has reduced my groups considerably.

I just wish we were allowed more than 254 group numbers. At my present rate I will have all 254 numbers used by CQ WPX CW this year. When that happens I will have to look at other options to accomplish this or look at different software that will do what I want.

Thanks Fred PY2XB What about using group numbers - assign a different group to each imported log? 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C/?, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win _______________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
