Re: [Dx4win] need help generating POTA listing worked report
Dmitry sorry for the late response but I am a bit heavy loaded with work the last time. I can not see this behaviour in my dx4win 9.09. For example I go to Reports. I select custom award and in the new window I select the award I want. For example I select RDA (by the way typing F2, dx4win sorts the awards in alphabetic order). Dx4win goes and examine my log and finds the QSOs I have marked as valid for RDA award and have put also the right award value. If you are waiting dx4win finds out what oblast, etc is every QSO, no, it does not make it. But if you have marked every qso you need it does it. I use also AD1C's software to import my contest logs in dx4win and it populates the fields with the right values from the contest log when I run Russian dx (rda values) or working all germany (doks), etc. Also you can search for the QSOs you want. For example I type F8 and write RDA in Custom Award field. I get as an answer all RDA qsos in my logbook window. I can get an excel file from here (right click- write in a file- it writes in a csv file which I can import to excel) 73 Kostas SV1DPI Στις 4/6/2023 15:43, ο/η UA3AGW Dmitry Zaslavsky via DX4WIN έγραψε: Hi Scott and the group!

two possibilities: 1) you have a 2nd log somewhere. If yes search for .dxl in your computer. 2) When you closed dx4win, it asked you if you want to save the file and you told no. In this case dx4win didn't save the file. There is a .~xl file in the same directory you save the log, possibly yourcall.~xl. Rename it to yourcallbackup.dxl and open it.

Here is a summary as to how I do it: 1. Create a group for each QTH. Go to Filter tab, Selection. It takes some time to learn how to create and save the groups. Check the help files or possibly Jim's website AD1C to learn how. 2. Import contacts from each QTH and select the correct group or change existing QSOs via the Multiple QSO operation under the QSO tab. This is tricky but can be done. 3. Once you have all QSOs assigned to the correct groups, you can now print labels. Here is how I do it: a. Go to File, Preferences, Rep/Lab tab at the bottom. b. Change the Greeting line to add your grid and Spanish DME for group1. Click on File, Save Changes to exit. c. Go to filter, selection to select group1 d. Click on QSLs, Print QSL labels. Be sure you select the correct label. I have created a custom label that includes the greeting line at the bottom of the label. e. Print your labels. You can repeat the process for group 2. Note that under filter, you can edit the group names. For example, you can name group 1 to the Home. Group 2 something else. You might also be able to create a custom label for each group and possibly print the Grid and DME directly at the bottom of the label, but I have not tried that. You would have one custom label for group 1 and a different custom label for group 2. If you can figure out how to create custom labels for each group, you would not have to change the greeting line manually for each group (step 3b above). I hope this helps.

Re: [Dx4win] Search For QSOs with Deleted Entities
If you ask a report (QSO window>Reports>DXCC) and check included deleted, you can go at the end where the deleted entities are, and double click on mixed, you will get all the QSOs of this entity. In case you have one of them checked you need to uncheck it to see but then I assume that you don't need to see this one... If you want to see all QSOs in each entity and not only Checked or confirmed, etc you can create a temporary log where you can clear confirmed QSLs and lotw, and clear also QSL date. Then the above procedure should work for all QSOs (really with the same "value" QSOs but value is now worked).

The following involves many steps but once you do a section once, repeating it for other prefixes should be faster. Basically, you get a list of deleted DXCC countries that you have worked (Reports -> check "include deleted" -> OK). Then for each deleted country (indicated by a D in the column with "D" in the heading) that you have worked, note each "prefix". For EACH of those prefixes, do the following: 1) While on the QSO screen 2) Click Filter 3) Click "Cancel filter" 4) Hit F8 5) Hit the TAB key (or click in the Prefix box) 6) Enter a prefix you want to search for 7) Hit Enter 8) Click File 9) Click Import/Export 10) Click the highest DX4WIN format (Ex. DX4WIN8) listed 11) Click File 12) Click Export 13) Enter a file name for the .DXQ/.DXN file to be created (I used the prefix with any slashes changed to dashes -- OK/D would have filename OK-D) 14) Click SAVE 15) Click YES when it prompts with "Filter active, use it for export?" 16) For each prefix you extract, note the count of how many QSOs were exported. This will help you verify counts later -- after you make a log from all the exported files. 17) Click OK (after the export is done) 18) Click File 19) Click Exit Once you have created a export file (.DXQ/.DXN) for each of the deleted prefixes in your log: 20) Click File 21) Click NEW (create a NEW DX4WIN log file) 22) Navigate to the directory where the Export files were created 23) Specify the name of the log file that will contain all your exported data For each prefix file that you exported above, do the following: 24) Click File 25) Click Import/Export 26) Click the DX4WIN export version number that you used in step 3 above 27) Click File (on "Import / Export Filters" screen) 28) Click Import 29) Enter the export file name (Prefix?) that you used earlier 30) Click Open 31) On "Options for duplicate QSOs" screen, click OK 32) Click OK (after the import summary) 33) Click File 34) Click Exit If you have more prefixes to Import, go to step 24 Once you have Imported all your Prefix files: 35) Click File 36) Click SAVE (to save this log to disk) 37) Click File 38) Click Info In theory, the "Nr QSOs" value should equal the sum of the Imported QSOs counts in step 16 above One caveat I am aware of (might be others that my test file didn't find), I entered prefix of KZ5 which resulted in 60 QSOs. However, only ONE of the 60 QSOs actually had a prefix of KZ5 -- all the others had prefix of "K". To catch this situation, I suggest after you do an "export" of a prefix, verify that all selected QSOs have the "prefix" that you were after. Sorry this was so long. If anything doesn't make sense, contact me and I'll see what I can do to make it clearer. 73, Lee N7NU On 07/21/2022 2:28 PM N5KM - Kris wrote: Hi All, Is there a way to search/filter a log for QSOs with deleted entities?

Re: [Dx4win] DXCC Report of QSL Cards
Normally, when doing a "mixed" DXCC submission (combination of paper cards and LoTW credits), you do the LoTW submission first, wait for it to be processed, then submit your paper cards Really this is the easier you can do. The most economical solution is to submit the cards first (same price until 120 cards) and the rest of the QSOs via LotW. Note that there is not a Mixed application anymore. Supposing dx4win knows your dxcc standings or you have not submitted again, you need to know that if you submit via dx4win (reports>dxcc>submit), dx4win randomly select cards and LotW confirmations. This means if you have a QSO confirmed both ways, dx4win will pick one of them. I suggest to go file>awards>dxcc. Under confirmation QSL card and LotW are checked. Check only one of them, what you want to give priority. Save it and make submission. After you finish it and change these QSOs to checked, go again to file>awards>dxcc and check both again and make a 2nd submission. 73 Kostas SV1DPI Στις 5/3/2022 05:26, ο/η Mike Cizek W0VTT έγραψε: Hello Bert, The answer to your question depends on what you have done before this: 1. have you made ANY DXCC submissions? 2. if so, have you made them through dx4win so the program knows which countries you have submitted? 3. is this your initial DXCC submission, or an endorsement? 4. have you applied any of your LoTW credits to your DXCC account?

Re: [Dx4win] LOTW confirmations
In order to be able to use QSOs and confirmations in several awards, someone needs to enable 2 fields. The first one is File>preferences>Station and the 2nd one File>Awards and the award you want I believe you have unchecked something somewhere of these two. For example you need to check LotW under dxcc in order lotw confirmations work for your dxcc from the help file for station "Specify the bands and modes of interest. Disabled bands and modes will not be shown in the various summaries and reports, and will not be considered when making submissions for awards or flagging QSOs for which a label should be printed. The DX spotting colors and audio alerts also make use of these settings. When a band or a mode is disabled they can still be entered in a QSO. *Bands *Select the bands of interest. *Modes *Select the modes of interest. *VUCC *bands The bands shown in a Grid listing or the Grid summary window Mode groupSelect the award groups of interest" and also from help file for awards "The awards window defines the parameters for an award, like bands, modes and starting dates that can be used for an award. The form is organized using a tab for each award. The contents for each tab is identical. This implies that some band / mode combinations are allowed for which there is no 'certificate' available The fields are as follows: Confirmation Indicates which QSO confirmation(s) can be used for the award Mode group Indicates which mode group(s) can be used for the award Awards Indicates which awards can be applied for Valid modes Indicates which QSO modes are allowed for the award Valid bands Indicates which bands are allowed for the award Award bands Indicates which bands can be used for a separate band award Start dates A number of awards accept only QSOs made after a certain date.

Of course I guess the bigger question is WHYdoes my DX4WIN sometimes.about a fourth of the time.want to spot some ridiculous QSX second split freq when I'm not working split (and again, a QSX freq that is really bizarre and makes no sensenot something like 5 khz up for voice or 1 khz up for cw.but stuff like oddball freqs like the 18.137.01 in my example above!).

Re: [Dx4win] Converted ADIF import sets eQSL flag
I think you need to uncheck the upload flag box in AD1C software. Possibly this uncheck the lotw flag as well. There is always the option to clear eqsl upload flags after import. In qso window go to eqsl>clear eqsl upload flag. This is for entire log.

I then use AD1C's very useful ADIF to DX4WIN conversion utility (currently version 9.8) to generate a DX4WIN version 9 dxq file that I import into DX4WIN. Lately I have been noticing that every time I import such logs all QSOs end up having the eQSL Upload flag set. I always have to run the DX4WIN routine to clear these upload flags. I finally did a careful analysis of the situation and determined that the eQSL flag is indeed being set on import.

I don't think so.

Re: [Dx4win] Russian District Award automatic confirmation available online
I use it the last time. Something useful if you are chasing Russian awards (some other awards also included) is hamlog. Hamlog is a kind of LotW or clublog. Any confirmation you get in hamlog is transferred to RDA site automatically. See for hamlog to https://hamlog.online/ . Also a site with many awards is https://dcl.darc.de/~dcl/public/index.php where you can get, among others, the working all continents (WAC) award for free! By the way, I refuse to follow DXCC the last time because i disagree with their decision to accept ft8 in mixed mode (this is another story) and I am chasing other awards which some of them are very interesting and far more difficult. *Something more related with the next day of DX4win*, is that every time I need to export a file and upload it to: LotW, Eqsl, Clublog, hamlog, qrz and possibly others. This procedure needs to be automatic. It's a pain to upload log manually at least to 4-5 sites, every time.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN.CTY country file Release #21.7 - 23 March 2021
Hello Alan If you update with the last country file, iota numbers will be updated according country file. If you have a QSO marked with something different iota number in your file, a notice will be inserted in "Notes for this QSO" field and iota will get the number the country file has. This notice will look as IOTAMSG: something more for example IOTAMSG: added IOTA So you need to search (F8) for IOTAMSG: in "Notes for this QSO" field This will return some QSOs. In my case about 40 QSOs returned. You need to look these QSOs and compare with original QSL cards. Send the QSOs you don't agree to Jim. Why to do it? 1) help all other hams to have a right database 2) correct some mistakes you possibly have 3) possibly you will find some calls with an added iota and possibly this is a new one for you (the most of 40 QSOs were added iotas - unfortunately not something new this time - hi hi). I have worked over 850 iotas and at least 850 checked and found some mistakes I did, some Jim did and some new (in previous releases) I hadn't asked for a card! 73 Kostas SV1DPI Στις 1/4/2021 06:26, ο/η Alan Zack έγραψε: I AM an IOTA chaser. I don't quite understand what this is about. My fault, not yours, it is a little over my head. I "think" what this change will do is when I log a call the IOTA number will automatically be filled in as is done with the COUNTRY, ZONE, etc If I do this update will it change the IOTA designation of IOTA's already logged in DX4WIN, most of which are confirmed so I know the IOTA numbers are correct. Or will I just see a message in the NOTES FOR THIS QSO or NOTES FOR THIS CALL telling me there is a mismatch? The RSGB IOTA website maintains a list of IOTA's I have confirmed, pending, and needed. I wish there was a way for me to download a DX4WIN file to update my RSGB/IOTA record on their website. The RSGB/IOTA website has come a long way. When I first started the only way to confirm an IOTA was to have a card checker confirm a match with a paper QSL. Then they were able to confirm a match from IOTA contest files matching. Then matching via ClubLog, and now matching via LOTW (but many DX do not have their IOTA number on file in their LOTW record so sometimes there is no match).

It started as an attempt to add European IOTAs from 2010-2021 that begin with the letter 'P' (only The Netherlands [Holland] PA), which I did. I moved on to the calls beginning with 'R', but found that most of them had already been added to the database. Something sparked me to revisit all the IOTA associated with Papua New Guinea, P2. The upcoming S21DX DXpedition had me reviewing all the IOTA in Bangladesh. I also learned that there is a little part of Market Reef (OJ0) that counts as Sweden, SM for DXCC purposes. Then I got a little carried away researching a list of several thousand callsigns (by date) that my software indicated needed to be reviewed (that job is far from over). I honestly do not know how many IOTA operations were added to the country file this time around, but it was at least 860 (that's the last number I remember seeing). After the database is released for DX4WIN 9.0x users, if you are an IOTA chaser, please run the Multiple QSO Operation "Check IOTAs" and let me know how many mistakes I made. It's best if you have a QSL to verify against your log. My data comes from DX spots which many times can be incorrect or misleading. I'm already planning to work on the European 'S' callsigns next. That includes Sweden (SM), Poland (SP) and Greece (SV). I may also work on 'T' which is only Iceland (TF), Corsica (TK) and France (TM), of which many (most) should already be in the database. It's unlikely I'll get to the Russian (UA etc.) calls before the next release. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , https://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 __ 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

I started to write an application note for IOTA, but never really finished it, nor did I make it visible on the web site (I guess I'll do that). http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/iota.html I'll just hit some of the high points below. The IOTA field in your logbook works like the State and Grid fields -- it is stored with the QSO record, and does NOT change when a new country file is released. When logging a QSO, DX4WIN may automatically fill in the IOTA field if it can uniquely determine the IOTA from the callsign and date, based on information contained in the country file. Some DXCC entities like Barbados, 8P have a single IOTA (NA-021). Some IOTA are determined by prefix, for example, IG9 is AF-019 and IH9 is AF-018. And there are thousands of callsigns in the country file that are mapped to a particular IOTA, for example CE7KF is IOTA SA-018. DX4WIN will also attempt to assign IOTA when importing QSOs. In DX4WIN 9.01 and later, there is a Multiple QSOs operation for checking the IOTA fields in your log: QSO | Multiple QSOs operations | Check IOTAs. This does the following four things: 1. If the IOTA field is empty, and the IOTA can be determined from both the callsign and date (i.e. via the country file), then an IOTA is assigned to that QSO. 2. If the IOTA field is not empty, is the IOTA correct based on the callsign and date, given the information in the country file? In other words, if the IOTA field was blank, would DX4WIN have filled it in with the same IOTA as you chose? If they do not match, DX4WIN will do the following two things: a. Put the "correct" IOTA into the IOTA field in the logbook. b. Add some information to the "Notes for this QSO field": "IOTAMSG: Bad IOTA=OC130" In this case, OC130 was what your log had *before* running Check IOTAs. I wrote "correct" because the country file can (and probably does) have errors. If you think that DX4WIN made an incorrect substitution, and you have the QSO confirmed, please send me the information from the QSL card (IOTA and Island Name) as well as the callsign and date, and I'll look into it. 3. If the IOTA Island field is empty, DX4WIN will populate that field in the logbook if the IOTA group has only one island. Some examples of this are Barbados, 8P (IOTA NA021) and Luzon Island, DU4 (IOTA OC042). 4. If the IOTA Island field is not empty, check that it is a valid island for the given IOTA group. If the island if not valid, you will get an error message like this: IOTAMSG: Bad Island=6312 The number above refers to the numerical code provided by the IOTA committee to represent the island name in the IOTA group. It is unusual for this to happen, but not unheard of. I had a number of such errors in my logbook from QSOs which had the wrong prefix/country assigned to them at one point in time, but subsequently changed based on new information in the country file. There is also a Multiple QSOs Operation to remove all the IOTA error messages from your log, once you have resolved all the problems. So in summary: 1. DX4WIN assigns the IOTA field automatically if it can do so. 2. Subsequent releases of the country file will not change the IOTA field in any QSO. 3. There is a Multiple QSOs Operation to check the IOTA fields in your log. Please reply to me directly or the reflector if ther

I do get copy on the receiving side so the USB CODEX audio inputs are working. Any advice would be appreciated.

First of all you need to select these QSOs. I assume that these are between 2 dates. So go to file>preferences>QSO and be sure that in QSO Date you have "Range". This allows you to select QSOs between 2 dates. Save and exit Then press F8 and write the 1st date. Enter and write the 2nd date Now you have selected the QSOs you want to clear label flags. Go to QSO window QSLs>Clear QSL Label flag You will have been asked if you want the filter, you need to say yes.

It has many features that are very easy to use, and does MOST of what I (and may I think most users) expect from a logging program. Re LoTW, it has been experiencing long delays in the past weeks/days, but uploads take a few minutes if not seconds to be completed when it works OK. Bruce, count the number of mouse clicks your procedure needs, even including reading the email you receive from LoTW., and including the newly confirmed QSOs into your log. The program by N2AMG called L32LogSync requires 2 (two) clicks to do ALL this (this program works with Logger32 and DXLab, at least). If this program works with 2 logging programs, it should work with 3, obviously requiring changes in DX4Win architecture. Are these changes a 2 year-job or a few hours, I do not know, I am a full ignorant in computering. And again, this could be optional if this was to be implemented some day.

Re: [Dx4win] Report
The right dx4win procedure for this is 1) Let the QSO confirmed as it really is. In other case you may forget in the future that you have a card and send again... 2a) to mark Invalid (I) when you expand the QSO window in the award the QSO is invalid or 2b) to write a 0 in rstR if the QSO is invalid for all awards. 73 Kostas SV1DPI __ 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

I can not understand well your question. To submit for WACounties you need to go to Reports. Then in Award box select County and in Report/Action box select Submission.

So select also if you are going to submit via qsl cards or via eqsl in Submission Medium. When your qsos are checked by the award manager, you need to go again to Reports>County and press on Award flags>Cnty mixed and Submitted->Checked and change. You say that you have already submitted qsos. If you have followed the right procedure that qsos are marked as Checked.

I operated the ARRL VHF contest this weekend and had N1MM and WSJT-X working together. Every time I made a FT8 contact in WSJT-X, the contact was automatically added in N1MM. This allowed me to keep track of dupes and scoring in real time. Everything worked very seamlessly. Both programs actually exchanged information back and forth via the UDP broadcasts. We need the same capability in DX4WIN. I have made over 7,500 FT8 and FT4 contacts over the past two summers. Both modes are becoming increasingly critical for weak signal DXing on 160 meters and 6 meters especially. Although I have added to my DXCC band totals using FT8 on several of the other bands as well. It is not very handy to have to manually import the adi logfile from WSJT-X into DX4WIN. There are times in the heat of the moment that you need the contacts added to DX4WIN but you do not have time to stop and do the import. This happened to me this summer in the middle of a major opening into EU on 6 meters when I had a screen full of G stations calling me. Adding the WSJT-X contacts automatically and in real time helps be to verify call signs, ensure the QSOs are valid and quickly report spots on the cluster. It also helps me to see when I have worked a new country and to look up more info about a station via the QRZ.COM XML interface. Paul, is there any reason that you do not think it is a good idea to support the importing of QSOs via UDP broadcasts? I wonder what other users think. Any comments?

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN.CTY country file Release #18.14 - 20 November 2018
Hello Jim I made the IOTA routine and found only one mistake ZL3TE/P is on OC036 from 17-19 Jan 2016 and on OC201 from 25-26 Jul 2015 I had some no sense mistakes (gb18fifa) also. You had right on these. One that made me to search was YB9/DL3KZA It seems you had right finally but this guy seems to be active from several different islands with this call. for example 17-20/Nov/2014 OC151 21-27/Nov/2014 OC151 9-Dec-2013 OC150 (and possibly other dates near to this) I had him on 22 Nov 2017 as OC148 but according cluster spots it was OC150. I corrected it to this one but possibly I would like to search more as I had filled also the island name and it's a strange mistake. 73 Kostas SV1DPI Στις 20/11/2018 19:46, ο Jim Reisert AD1C έγραψε: http://www.country-files.com/dx4win-cty-18.14-20-november-2018/ In addition to the usual stuff, this was a big release for "Islands on the Air" (IOTA) chasers who are using DX4WIN 9.0x. Users of older DX4WIN versions can stop reading at this point unless it encourages you to upgrade! Until Paul updates some things on his end, "Help | Check for Updates" may not get you the latest files for DX4WIN 9.0x. But you can go to the URL above and click on the word "download" next to this text: [download] DX4WIN 9.01 and later Once you have downloaded the file, and exited DX4WIN, extract these three files: country.dat islands.txt prf2iota.tx to your DX4W90x SAVE directory, then start DX4WIN. I added over 1000 callsign to IOTA mappings. You can scroll down the Relase Notes to the IOTA section to see the changes. The majority of these were Africa and Asia stations from 2010 and later, as found in DX spots. Because I created the list by hand (and DX spots can be unreliabale), there are likely to be errors. I have already checked the new database against the logs of three different active IOTA chasers and fixed several problems, but I know there are more (for at least a couple of callsigns, I deferred the research until the next release). I wrote a preliminary application note about IOTA about a year ago. Despite getting some feedback from reviewers (thanks!), I have not yet incorporated their changes into the document (crazy busy at work for the last year). You can read the whole note, but please pay attention to this section: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/iota.html#Check I would appreciate other active IOTA chasers to check their log against the new database. The easiest way is this: 0. Save your log! 1. F8, put '*' (asterisk or star, without the quotes) in the IOTA field, then Enter 2. QSO | Multiple QSO Operations | Check IOTA 3. F8, put IOTAMSG in the "Notes for this QSO" field, then Enter. This will filter to only the QSOs with IOTA mismatches. 4. There are two types of mismatches you may see: Bad IOTA - this means that the IOTA is not valid for the DXCC entity indicated by the callsign (Prefix field). For USA stations, it may mean the IOTA is not valid for the State shown for that QSO. Unique Island - this is the IOTA that the DX4WIN country database believes to be correct for that QSO. 5. If you feel comfortable reviewing the differences and making corrections yourself, please do so! It will save me time. Don't assume that the Unique Island message is always correct. This is one kind of error that I am trying to expose and fix. Bad IOTA messages may also indicate a problem in the database. Some islands have changed DXCC entity over the course of time, and it's possible that the old DXCC entity does not think the IOTA is valid. Once example is Ducie Island, which used to be part of the Pitcairn Island DXCC entity until it was split off into a separate DXCC entity. 6. To send me the listing for review, bring up a Logbook Report window with these fields (right-click to use the Report Editor), preferably in this order (with the IOTAMSG filter still in place): - Callsign - Date - Time - Band - Mode - Prefix - IOTA - QSO Notes (note: *not* Callsign notes) 7. Right-click in the Logbook window and select "Write to File". Give the file name with both your call and the word IOTA, like AD1C_IOTA.csv 8. E-mail me that file as an attachment. 9. You can discard the log changes by closing your log and opening it again. I will review the mismatches and let you know if your logbook needs any corrections. And I will make database corrections as needed. The goal is for you to be able to "Check IOTA" and get *zero* IOTAMSG errors. I will be working on OC IOTA next, then probably EU, SA and NA (in that order). I'm hoping to be done with this by the end of the year, for QSOs made in 2010 and later. Next year, I may go back and try to extract IOTA callsigns from DX spots made before 2010. 73 - Jim AD1C __ DX4WIN mailing li
