I had the call K0UXQ prior to 1997 (which was horrible- explaining my 
vanity N5IN perhaps).  When I download QSL's received from LoTW I get 
records for both my old call and my new call.

When I import these QSL's received using the Non-DXB Import program that 
program just lists N5IN in the box "QSO's for these OPR calls". 

If I fail to add K0UXQ in each time in this box (in addition to N5IN) 
then if any of the downloaded records from LoTW are for K0UXQ Q's, the 
K0UXQ Q's will be ignored by the import program.  Although it does not 
generate any error messages, you can tell this is happening because the 
number of records read is greater than the number of records imported.

I had not noticed this before, so I had to go back to the very beginning 
(1959) for my first Q's and download everything from LoTW, then import 
the entire works (this time with just K0UXQ selected) to get all my LoTW 
acknowledged Q's in my N5IN.mdb.

So this is just a reminder to everyone, if you were not aware of this 
issue and you have more than one call registered with LoTW you may be 
missing lot's of acknowledged Q's in your DXBase data base.

Ideally the Non-DXB Import would remember your various calls, but it 
doesn't!

Once you have the past missing LoTW acknowledged Q's in your data base, 
then in the future when ever you import LoTW records remember to enter 
all your calls in the "QSO's for this OPR Calls" box!

Subject: [Dxbase] Splitting Logs
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

First of all, I am new to DXBase and I have been reading the archives and 
may have missed the obvious answer, but I am wanting to split my log file 
as it was imported from another program and contains contacts made under a 
couple of previous calls as well as the current one.

Is there a way to do this using date parameters or some such?

Thanks,
Wayne W4HG
