Hello all, New to the list and still considering DXbase for the shack. I'm an award chaser over many years now. Will Db work for all of the many smaller awards that I track or just the big ones built in like DXCC, WAS, etc.? I have Logic7 but it's so cumbersome to me. My dream would be to xfer all of my paper logs to digital. I started that with one program and then the guy quit supporting it. 8^( Tnx for any replies and yours in peace, Ross W6FG ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Time flies like arrows...

You can make a field order *.co file for BOTH you logbook and also for your Previous QSO window. In the Help files under the "Previous QSO Module" - read the "Creating a Field Order Configuration". 73 Joe wa6axe Bill Parry wrote: > I just finished doing my monthly QSLing.

Increasing the size of the window would also let you see all the QSOs at one time, instead of just a few.
