Bob, Why not just mark these "place holder" QSO records as not valid for DXCC. Then, when exporting for LOTW, filter out those that do not count.
Another thought is to use the callsign notes module accessible in the Summary Window.

(New radio, antenna, new ham license class, you know that sort of stuff.) In the past with hand written logs I would put my notes in the logs. When I asked Jack about it a couple years ago he suggest that I use my callsign, which is what I have been doing. Now with LoTW here I don't really want to send my log showing that I contacted myself so was please to see that DXBase has a Station Notepad and I was going to transfer the information in the log over to that, but there is one major problem. Station Notepad opens either Notepad or Wordpad to do your editing with. Unfortuantely these programs are so old that if I want to save the station notes in the default directory for DXB those two programs can't seem to make it past the space between "Program" and "Files". Sort of throws a monkey wrench into the works. It appears THE only way it would work would be if you put DXBase in a totally different folder than the default calls for. Anybody got any clue where I could keep a file like this? I guess I could build it in Word and make it a .DOC file. It is just a shame that the "Station Notepad" is somewhat useless. Of course I guess you could have a separate directory off the root just to hold this one file, but it seems such a waste. 73s Bob --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML or had an attachment.
