FO/OH1RX is on the air now from Marquesas, FO/M. This will be in the next DX4WIN.CTY database update.
If you want, log a fake QSO with FO/OH1RX, changing the prefix to FO/M. Save the QSO (ENTER or F10), then delete it (CTRL-Delete). Then save your log (ALT-S). This will update your current country database. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C/?, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 10 11:11:00 2008 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jim Reisert AD1C) Date: Thu Jan 10 11:12:12 2008 Subject: [Dx4win] Automatic Backup doesn't work?

Two strikes and you're out.

I successfully uploaded three years of QSOs to LoTW. The LoTW website says I have 562 QSLs and I have listed those stations that have QSLed on the lotw site. I then downloaded all the confirmed QSOs from the site as the lotwreport.adi file and tried to import them into my log by specifying "Set Upload Confirmed Flag Only" in the duplicate QSOs window. I then get a message that no QSOs have been confirmed, and when I go to check for the confirmed QSOs, they are in fact not confirmed. I have "Upload Conf" specified in the Confirmed QSOs slot of the QSO menu in Preferences. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

That's the problem, Joe. Change it to "Card in Hand" and try again. In my application note I make mention of this fact: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/lotw.htm "IMPORTANT: Before importing the ADIF LoTW report, in your QSO Preferences (File -> Preferences -> QSO tab), make sure that "Confirmed QSOs" in the bottom-left corner is not set to "Upload conf". Otherwise, DX4WIN will not set the "Upl Cnf" field in the logbook." The program works the way Paul wants it to. I don't agree that it's correct, and as you demonstrated, it's not intuitive. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C/?, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 10 15:03:24 2008 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jim Reisert AD1C) Date: Thu Jan 10 15:04:35 2008 Subject: [Dx4win] LoTW Problem In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- "David R.

But here is an example of the specific problem, which may not fit the criteria you have listed. These spots just came in. Note: "Alert unconfirmed country" is unchecked. TO5FJ is in the log on 40 SSB. P Freq Callsign Time QSX Remarks Spotter 4 7080.0 TO5FJ 0226 simplex DL7AFV Blue letters 9 7080.0 TO5FJ 0234 7240 QSX 7240 N4YIC Gray letters 4 7080.0 TO5FJ 0242 KE5FXE Blue letters The first and third QSOs are labeled 4-Award Mode.Unconfirmed--which is the actual case---and the second QSO is "9-No Interest", which is not the case, because it is unconfirmed. The second QSO indicates by the QSX frequency--both in the QSX and Remarks columns--that the posting is SSB, which was the QSO mode, of course, so why was it gray?

References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The answer is simple the right one is the 2nd qso. The colour must be grey. This station has no interest for you to confirm this country, band, mode. You worked him. If you have this country unconfirmed (as you have) this station can't help you more. (in some cases as zd7x - see qrz.com for him- working 2nd time has as result to loose all qsos). So your preferences for the cw cutoff freq for 40m probably is 7100. That is not right because the most of the stations work cw under 7040. So dx4win thinks that 1st and 3rd qso is cw while the 2nd one is ssb. In some rare cases where i am not sure that i worked a station and want to see the spots (last example with 3y0e. I worked him but because of qsb i never heard the confirmition from him. So i waited for the online log. Tnx God i was in!) i do this trick. I log the station like /mm . That is i logged 3y0e like 3y0e/mm. Dx4win knows that the maritime stations doesn't count for dxcc so the spot colours don't affected.
