Re: [Dx4win] QSL label marking question
Loren, I am not exactly sure what you want to do. The way I look for QSL's I need is to open the DXCC REPORTS window. That gives me a list of all the DXCC Countries and a breakdown that shows which band/mode I have worked/sent a QSL and am waiting/or confirmed. Example, for 3D2, Fuji, I have L in the 10 MHz column. That tells me I logged a 3D2 on 10 MHz but have not yet send a card. (If it was a M it means I sent a card but no reply yet). I then double click on the L and any and all QSO's with only 3D2 on 10 MHz will open on the main log window. From there I can choose if there is more than one which QSO I want to send a QSL. I will consider how old the contact is, if there is a USA QSL Mgr or a well known good DX QSL Mgr, etc. Another example, I have a M for 9J on 7 MHz. When I double click on that M it takes me to a QSO with 9J2VB that I am still waiting for a QSL from UA4WHX. So that tells me I should maybe do a follow up with Vlad. Hope this helps. 73 Alan, K7ACZ -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Loren Hunt Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 1:57 PM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net; Bud Semon N7CW Subject: Re: [Dx4win] QSL label marking question Bud, No, that doesn't do it. Specifically - Lets say I have USA confirmed on 80M/CW but I have worked 3500 USA stations on 80M/CW. Since I have the band/mode confirmed I don't want to blanket send out QSL cards. Using QSL -- Mark --band/mode gets me all 3500! I would have expected 0. If I use the report generator I get the correct result of 0. Now lets say I need Fiji on 80M/SSB and have worked Fiji 2 times on 80M/SSB and have not sent cards. If I filter to just 3d2 80M/SSB the QSL--Mark--band/mode they both get marked. If I have the same filter selected but use the report generator I still get the same 2 calls marked. So I can do what I want but the help menu lead me down the wrong path. 73 Loren --- On Tue, 1/11/11, Bud Semon N7CW n...@cableone.net wrote: From: Bud Semon N7CW n...@cableone.net Subject: RE: [Dx4win] QSL label marking question To: ad...@sbcglobal.net, dx4win@mailman.qth.net Date: Tuesday, January 11, 2011, 1:17 PM Loren, If you set the filter for only unconfirmed QSOs, does that get you what you want?

Re: [Dx4win] QSL label marking question
Jim, OK, that is how I thought it should work but it doesn't. I saved a backup log so I can test. On 80M I have 22 QSOs not marked for a label. I do the following: F8 - Select 80M and hit return. My logbook is only showing 80M QSO's I then select: QSL -- Mark QSL -- band/mode. The dialog says mark up to 3775 QSO. I click OK and it marks 1756 of them. I would expect the number to be around 22. I then tried the same thing but this time selected: I then select: QSL -- Mark QSL. The dialog says mark up to 3775 QSO. I click OK and it marks 1551 of them this time. S it looks like its marking every QSO that is not confirmed even if I have that band slot confirmed with another call. When I do the same thing under reports I get the 22 label flags set as expected. In both cases I had the 80M filter set and in both cases it only flagged 80M QSOs for Labels. So it looks like the one under QSL is when you want to send everyone a card and the one under Reports is for for targeting new ones. This is not what the programs help file states. So once again, I have figured out how to do something but don't know if it is the correct way... 73 AD6ZJ, Loren --- On Tue, 1/11/11, Jim Reisert AD1C jjreis...@alum.mit.edu wrote: From: Jim Reisert AD1C jjreis...@alum.mit.edu Subject: Re: [Dx4win] QSL label marking question To: ad...@sbcglobal.net Cc: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Date: Tuesday, January 11, 2011, 1:06 PM On Tue, Jan 11, 2011 at 1:55 PM, Loren Hunt ad...@sbcglobal.net wrote: When I try (as the help screen states) QSL -- Mark QSL it wants to select every QSO in the log, confirmed or not.

That is because you are using the wrong Mark for QSL function! As I tried to explain in my earlier message, you have to use the function that's part of the Reports menu/window. when the Reports window comes up, select the award you want to create labels for. Then under Report/Action, select Mark for QSL. Then click on the OK button. You are using the Mark for QSL function that is off the QSL menu in the QSO window. These are two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT functions, as you discovered.
