Hi Folks, I released an updated Award database that matches the ARRL NPOTA list as of 29 December 2015. Many of the TR## units were recently added. There are currently 483 counters for the award.
There are a handful of NPOTA "units" that count twice. These will cause problems in DX4WIN for award tracking. Here is the list: Benjamin Franklin National Memorial AA03,HP16 Constitution Gardens DZ02,DZ06 Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve MN21,PV05 Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial NM09,DZ06 Korean War Veterans NM13,DZ06 Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial NM18,DZ06 Thomas Jefferson Memorial NM25,DZ06 Vietnam Veterans Memorial NM26,DZ06 Washington Monument NM27,DZ06 World War II Memorial NM28,DZ06 Because you can not log more than one custom award name/value per QSO, you can't enter both ARRL codes into DX4WIN. There are several ways to work around it: 1. Work the same station on a different band/mode and log the "other" Custom Award Value 2. Log the QSO twice, setting different custom award values for each QSO. Note that QSOs in DX4WIN must be at least one second different, or they will be treated as duplicate QSOs. 3. Add a note to the "Notes for this QSO" field. I put the word NPOTA there so I can search for it later using F8 (i.e. "also NPOTA AA11"). If you are spotting NPOTA stations, it helps to put the word NPOTA in the spot comment, along with the ARRL code. For example: DX KV4T 10140 PSK31 NPOTA HP30 CC Cluster, among others, will let you search spots by comment. I do it this way: SH/DX 'np' It will find all spots with the text "np" in the comments field. 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
