Fred, I am going to disagree with Dave (which I can do, because we go back to before the beginning of time) and suggest that you create a new Selection. You can do this in the Filter menu. You will want to enter the date of your move to AZ and then check both Group Filter and Date Filter. This gives you the advantages that Dave described, but allows you to add Groups within your new Selection, so you can keep track of contests or other operations that have occurred or will occur since you moved. Everything else Dave says is correct. But the use of the Selection makes the group function even more powerful.
BTW, the default Selection is All QSOs. When you choose that one, your reports will be based on every QSO in the log. If you make a new Selection, when you choose it, your reports will only be based on the QSOs in that Selection. It is very easy to compare your new AZ results with your overall results. I did this when I moved to AZ from CA a few years ago. 73, Bud N7CW -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Perry N4QS Sent: Monday, September 27, 2010 8:47 PM To: DX4WIN Reflector Subject: [Dx4win] Fw: Creating New Log from Existing Log Fred, I would create a group within your log for you new QTH. Just go to Filter, Selection and create a new Group Filter. That way you can see all the contacts with a given call that you made prior to AZ as well as from your new QTH. This is especially handy if you keep the Same Call and Logbook windows open when using DX4WIN. The Same Call window shows the group name for every contact. You can rename groups to make them easier to recall. Just to go Filter, Edit Group Names. You might want to name the new group Arizona. You can make the AZ group your default group by selecting its group number by going to File, Preference and QSO. See group in upper right corner. You will find that the group functions within DX4WIN are very powerful and easy to use. Others may know of other ways to use and refer to groups.
