[Dx4win] Newbie questions
Ken-Dubuque shows in my worked listing. I have run into a problem where a county doesn't get recorded when entered because of a spelling error. Really need an error message if something is entered that doesn't match the database for that particular field. CU Pete, NN9K -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ken Kopp - KOPP Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 1:10 AM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Dx4win] Newbie questions Hello All, I have version 5.03, and I'm at 2100 Q's out of about 12K to be manually entered. I've just discovered that my first QSO with Dubuque County Iowa does not show up in the list of counties worked. The QSO -IS- in the log and it shows up when I search for Dubuque in the County field. With about 590 counties now worked, I'm now wondering if there are others that have also failed to show in the list. I REALLY don't want to go back and audit 2100 entries to see if EACH new one has shown up as I've entered it. Someone please see if your Dubuque county QSO appears in YOUR list of counties worked. It would be helpful to have the ability to enter Independent City in the County field for those states that have these ... VA and MO, for example. Why? Since there isn't (yet) a City field one could search VA and Independent City for QSO's that could be claimed for one of the needed adjacent counties. A City field would be most helpful. In my span of 51 years of operating I have many QSO's with stations that have been located in different places and if I understand correctly these must be noted in the Notes for this QSO field and NOT in the Notes for this call. I accidentally found that a Notes ... call entry for Bill - Podunk will be changed in all my QSO's with Bill when I log him at his new location as Bill - Hamville. I should have been entering all the 2100 locations in the Notes ... QSO field ... correct? I've run across numerous cases of spelling conflicts with 'boro and 'borough as they appear un the US Postal Directory. The Postal Directory spelling should be the correct one. The CA Yuma / Yuba County error has been noted before. How do we know when there is a update available as these little glitches get fixed and how do I get the update? 73!

[Dx4win] Re: Dubuque error mine
Ken, Entering a county that is not spelled correctly should bring up the list of valid counties in the state. Version 5.03 does not do that, and I will fix that for the next release. When you tab through the field that window appears, but not when you press Enter to finish the entry.

Paul responded very quickly and asked a key question that led me directly to the solution, AND to 100+ similar errors. (;-) I've been entering my paper log data EXACTLY as it appears in the logs and therein was the cause of the Dubuque problem. If I'd not received a report during the QSO the field was left blank (empty) and the software automatically inserts a 0 in that field. If the field has a zero the QSO does not appear in the counties worked report. I've now searched for 0's in the RST received and sent fields and found 100+ such entries. (;-) My solution has been to enter 111 in the fields that have no value in the paper log. Some of these will no doubt be fixed when I go back through the log with the actual QSL's in hand and cross-check the info. What! You don't have every QSL you've received over your entire amateur radio career? Filed alphabetically in cabinets, no less. (:-)) Several have asked why the manual entry? Yes, it -IS- a -LOT- of work and will take many weeks to accomplish. I've been licensed 51 years and have kept very careful logs over that time. I estimate that there are about 12K QSO's involved ... maybe more. I've recently retired and have the time to indulge in such compulsive behavior. (:-)) I already have DXCC (309/CW), several flavors of WAS and many other awards, have been rare DX and done very well in contests, but I've never had the opportunity to get all the information into one database. I -AM- interested in the County Award program and this is one of the goals of this effort. 73!
