Frank, if you have DX Base 2007 that is actually implemented (sort-of), and in a really good way.
Let's say you get an alarm for a needed spot. You work that station on that mode/band combination you can right-click the spot in DX INFO and say ADD TO EXCLUDE LIST. What that does is exclude that callsign on the spotted band and mode from tripping any further alarms. In the "Internet Cluster" window an excluded spot will have an E appear in the QSY column letting you know that the spot has been excluded. You can go through the excluded calls list (DX INFO window, right-click, VIEW EXCLUDE LIST) and just delete entries. Ideally, I agree with you -- it would be nice to have a call/band/mode combo automatically go into exclude mode once the QSO is logged. The bigger question is this: What happens if you have a DXpedition where operators are using unique callsigns but on the same band/mode. IIRC, the VU7 or VU4 operation a few years ago was like this. You then have to determine whether ALL calls set off the alarms (or are excluded) once you make a call on that band/mode combination. Also, that exclude mode should time out after, say, 6 months or a year. ----------------------------------- Regards, Peter, W2IRT -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Frank Bogers - ON9CC Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2010 7:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Dxbase] Change request: delete or change status of needed spot in DX info window after logging the spotted station. Hi Neil & group, One other thing I'd like to have changed is the following: - When I work a station that is shown (and colored) in the DX Info window as needed, the status of that spot should change after logging the station, or the spot should be deleted completely, or even better: have the possibility to choose either delete completely or change status. 73 Frank ON9CC ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase 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 ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase 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
