Hi Guys Due to the number of interested parties requesting the file, I have uploaded the zipped file to my web site which you can find and download by clicking this link www.ve3sy.com/dxb/ve3sy-6Q.zip
1) Unzip the above files into your DXB labels directory. 2) Then select use OUTPUT, USER DESIGNED LABELS, 3) Select QSO Label and add 6 to QSOs per label. I believe it should pick up all of your own variables such as add the Manager callsign routing if present to the top right above the call of the DX station. The salutation will default to whatever you have created in DXB Label Signature under TOOLS OPTIONS, USER OPTIONS, LABELS.
