Each of those nine QSOs has: DXCC Mixed Checked DXCC Band Checked DXCC Mode Checked Is that correct? No, that's not correct. Think of a DXCC checklist. There can only be one check mark in each credit box - one check for mixed, one for CW, one for SSB, one for RTTY, one for 160, one for 80, etc. Count the total check marks in a single column, that's how many credits you have for that column. There are 339 DXCC entities. You can have up to 339 Mixed credits, 339 CW credits, 339 80 meter credits, etc. But no more. If you want to be super accurate, you can look up your LoTW credits on the web and see which QSO gave you credit for mixed, for CW, for 80 meters, etc, and uncheck the rest of the mixed, CW and 80m award flags in DX4WIN for the QSOs that did not result in credit. I don't think DX4WIN really cares, your totals in the Reports - Summary window will be correct, regardless of how many extra credits are checked (DX4WIN only counts them once). 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

[Dx4win] DXCC Award Question
I have a very basic question on how DXCC awards are tracked. Let's take a very simple example. I have confirmed SSB contacts with Morocco (MO) on 9 DXCC bands. When I look up my DXCC credits for MO, I see I have credit for Mixed, Phone and 9 bands. When I go to D4W I find the nine QSOs. Each of those nine QSOs has: DXCC Mixed Checked DXCC Band Checked DXCC Mode Checked Is that correct? My question centers around the Mixed status. Should all nine QSOs have Mixed Checked or only one of them? If only one, which one? Someone I respect has told me that for each country, only one QSO can count for Mixed credit. If true, is it the same for Mode credit? I guess the question is should D4W reflect each QSO that qualifies for Mixed credit or only the ones that actually were accepted for Mixed credit? I have over 1500 confirmed QSOs that qualify for Mixed credit, but only a 320 Mixed Country count. Should I have 1500 QSOs marked DXCC Mixed Credit or only 320 of them? Just when you think you know all the answers, you get old and forget the questions! :( Dick -- Dick Flanagan K7VC d...@k7vc.com __ 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
