I recently recovered my DX4Win qsos dating back from 1953 to April 2009. These were all in GMT time on a separate computer that was destroyed by a lightning strike.
After recovering the .dxl file I purchased version 8.04 of DX4Win and installed it on a Windows 7 laptop. So far I have made no new qsos. Unfortunately I made an error when I setup DX4Win because the time is set for US Central time instead of GMT (Universal Coordinated Time now). My question: If I change the new laptop of GMT will that make any time change in my previous qsos? I know Windows is funny in how they handle the time and will make time changes in files, supposedly to accommodate businessmen who travel a lot. I would make sure DX4Win is not running when I make a time zone change. I'm afraid that changing the laptop time to GMT might affect the times on my many thousands of qsos. I don't care about the time/date on the actual .dxl file but I care very much about the times listed in the qso records. So ... as the villain repeated many times in the movie Marathon Man, "IS IT SAFE?".
