[Dx4win] second log

2012-12-14 Thread Steve K7AWB

I am confused on starting a second log.

 I want to have a log for my contest station call in DX4WIN.  So I go to
FILE/NEW and give the second log a new file name.  Then it appears on the 
screen.  I go to
FILE/PREFERENCES and find that all my data for my original log  has 
populated
the preferences.  I go to PERSONAL to accept almost everything  the same 
except the call

letters.  I attempt to change my call of K7AWB  to the other
call and I cannot change it.  I can change the rest of the address if I
wanted though.

How do I get around this?

Steve,

This doesn't answer your question, but I am wondering if you have considered
making your contest station call a second group within your master log?
There are several advantages if you do that.  First, when you download from
Lotw, it will download both calls at once.  It also allows you to see
contacts with stations across multiple calls.  I setup N4QS as my default
group and then added V31QS as group 1.  I am going to Grand Cayman next year
and will add that log as group 2.  My users of DX4WIN manage multiple calls
like this using the groups feature.  Just something to consider.  BTW, you
can then setup group filters to view just one of the groups at a time --
very handy for running reports by group, QSLing, etc.

Dave, N4QS
