Re: [Dx4win] packet questions new user
I had wondered the same question.. Just one follow-up. I use the local connection (to VE7CC). Is there a way to move this to the top of the list (currently 5th) so I can use the 3 x ENTER process. Is there an option to clear, automatically, all the old spots when starting a new session. If not this would be a useful option. 73, Dave, G3UEG At 01:05 28/02/2012, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 5:27 PM, Art Holmes W1RZF wrote: Is it necessary to specify the cluster node and my call each time the packet function is initiated?

[Dx4win] eQSL Confirmations
I uploaded to eQSL DX4WIN logbook contacts from the 160M SSB contest. DX4WIN asked if I wanted to upload 496 contacts. That was the correct number of contacts made so I said yes. I have the generated .adi file which was uploaded to eQSL. A few days after the contest I downloaded the eQSL report (which I have) and imported it into DX4WIN. I was surprised to see all 496 contacts were confirmed. I then went into eQSL to see who was confirmed. Only saw about 40 confirmations on eQSL. This phenomenon also happened during the last contest. I also read about someone reporting the phenomenal success rate after that previous contest. It appears that I must be doing something wrong - although I've been uploading to both LOTW and eQSL via DX4WIN for quite some time. (BTW, DX4WIN showed 17 confirmations from LOTW which is correct. So no issue with LOTW). I now need a way to purge all the bogus eQSL confirmations and find out how to fix the confirmation issue. It doesn't appear to be an eQSL issue since eQSL doesn't show everything confirmed. It may be an issue with the DX4WIN generated .adi upload and/or .adi down load files - but I can't read .adi. Just guessing.

I downloaded a big chunk of my log from LoTW and loaded it into DX4WIN. That caused ALL of those QSOs to be marked as confirmed where most of them weren't. Whatever you use to download QSLs from eQSL must include ONLY confirmed QSOs. The DX4WIN import assumes that they're all confirmations and sets the eQSL Confirmed' flag. I now need a way to purge all the bogus eQSL confirmations and find out how to fix the confirmation issue. I suspect that there's a way to clear the eQSL confirmed flag using Multiple QSO operations but someone else will need to help you with this. Once you've cleared the flag, you can re-download confirmations from eQSL and add them to DX4WIN. 73, -Rick -- Rick Murphy, CISSP-ISSAP, K1MU/4, Annandale VA USA __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] eQSL Confirmations
What you should be doing: 1. Export to eQSL 2. Upload ADIF file from #1 to eQSL 3. Wait. 4. Download outbox (I think) from eQSL. It's the one that has your confirmations. I think inbox is all your QSOs, so don't download that one. 5. Import from eQSL, selecting the file you downloaded in #4 This should set the eQSL confirmed flags to Y, nothing else, if you've done it properly. - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
