Re: [Dx4win] WPX LOTW versus DX4WIN
My experience is similar. With over 100K QSOs, DX4WIN reports that I should have over 2000 WPX confirmed on LoTW alone. The LoTW web site shows 238. A week after I wrote this, and my total is up to a whopping 252 mixed prefixes. Wow. Something's going really slowly... 73 - Jim AD1C -- 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
Re: [Dx4win] WPX LOTW versus DX4WIN
Yeah, I'm only averaging 1 or 2 per day being added to my WPX Mixed total. I did go in and manually add some just to see it work, but at 12 cents each, I will get my WPX 1000 endorsement sticker via eQSL instead of paying $120 to LoTW. I am a big big fan of LoTW, but not in this case. A while back you could buy credits for your QSLs from LoTW and if you bought in bulk, the price went down, now it's a flat 12 cents each.

Re: [Dx4win] WPX LOTW versus DX4WIN
I found out what the problem is at LOTW. They are using a DEC PDP-8 to sort and match the 434 million QSO database. I am up to 191 matches out of 2879 WPX confirmed in DX4WIN. Plus, on what planet am I going to pay 10 cents per conformed QSO when I can get unlimited for $10 or so direct to CQ. 73, Art W6KY www.w6ky.com . Never try and teach a pig to sing.

I have uploaded over 73,000 QSO to LOTW and have 26,451 QSL records. However, I only have 184 mix WPX. For that many QSL records, I would have expected a ton of unique call signs. DX4WIN shows 750 WPX confirmed. Maybe I need to download the WPX file from LOTW and do a cross check?

Re: [Dx4win] WPX LOTW versus DX4WIN
Hey guys, Why would you use LOTW if all you need is a printout of calls and no cards unless CQ wants to see a card? I would think there is some more ironing out to do here for anyone to use LOTW for this.I don't think you even need eQSL for WPX. I only have 64 mixed on LOTW so far when DX4W reports 1100+. Per the CQ Awards Rules: F. Cards need not be sent, but they must be in the possession of the applicant. Any and all cards may be requested by the WPX Award Manager or by the CQ Awards Committee. 73 Wayne WA1PMA On 7/16/2012 10:34 AM, Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: On Mon, Jul 16, 2012 at 7:45 AM, Jim - N4ST wrote: Yeah, I'm only averaging 1 or 2 per day being added to my WPX Mixed total.

Presuming you do what you say, will those credits be back-annotated into the LoTW database, or will LoTW try to submit the same prefixes for credit *again*, even though you had done the initial submission using eQSL? Now I have to go check my eQSL prefix totals - Jim __ 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
[Dx4win] interesting, no 6M DX4WIN
I've clicked on everything 6 meters in preferences and cannot get 6 to appear in the same call window or Country window or in my reports??? What else do I have to click on to get 6 to appear as a band? With the 6 openings I'm working Countries but I can't see if I've worked them before in the Country window. I'm running the latest version of DX4WIN, version 8.05 with W7. I've tried un-clicking and saving preferences and going back and clicking 6 and saving preferences, shutting down DX4WIN and re-starting it again, no help. Any suggestions? Thanks.
