Alain, I have just completed the upgrade from v7.07 to v8.01, and also noticed minor differences between my DXCC summary charts. The good news is that all of the v8.01 numbers are accurate, but I had to examine the v7 and v8 tables to determine what activities were being counted differently.
It seems that Paul made changes as he modified DX4Win's architecture to accommodate the different types of QSL activities (paper, LoTW, eQSL). For example: in v7, a QSO that was uploaded to LoTW but not mailed was placed in the DXCC Summary Report in the "Worked". After mailing a QSL, that QSO would move to the v7 "QSL Mailed" column. However, in v8, that same QSO would initially be in the "Worked" column, and would move to a re-named DXCC "QSL Sent" column when you upload to LoTW _or_ mail a QSL. In my log, several QSOs that had been uploaded to LoTW in v7 and were still listed as only "Worked" are now listed as "QSL Sent" in v8. I spent more-than-a-little time chasing the differences between my DXCC v7 and v8 charts to make sure everything was still accurate (which it is). You also may have noticed that the "ValidDX" field in v7 is gone, replaced by an expanded table at the bottom of the QSO window with the drop-down letter "I" for invalid. This is where I record QSOs with Pirates or QSOs in which the DX station informs me that I am Not-In-Log (rather than deleting the QSOs). I had 42 QSOs in v7 marked as "Invalid", and all of those QSOs are now marked with "I" in the DXCC column chart at the bottom. I hope this explanation helps and assist you in finding differences in your DXCC tables. -larry K8UT ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alain, F 5 L I W" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 06, 2009 11:11 Subject: [Dx4win] Some differences in DXCC summary after upgrade > Thanks Jim and Kostas for your help but I find the QSO and all is OK now. > The problem is that in 7.07.02 I had some QSO checked as Invalid for DXCC > (OX/NA1SA and some 9U stations for example) but these QSO are not checked > as Invalid in 8.01.
