No, that's not correct. Think of a DXCC checklist. There can only be one check mark in each credit box - one check for mixed, one for CW, one for SSB, one for RTTY, one for 160, one for 80, etc. Count the total check marks in a single column, that's how many credits you have for that column. There are 339 DXCC entities. You can have up to 339 Mixed credits, 339 CW credits, 339 80 meter credits, etc. But no more. If you want to be super accurate, you can look up your LoTW credits on the web and see which QSO gave you credit for mixed, for CW, for 80 meters, etc, and uncheck the rest of the mixed, CW and 80m award flags in DX4WIN for the QSOs that did not result in credit. I don't think DX4WIN really cares, your totals in the Reports -> Summary window will be correct, regardless of how many extra credits are checked (DX4WIN only counts them once). 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <[email protected]>, http://www.ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
