Re: [Dx4win] eQSL Confirmations

I like this easier method.

However, I looked all over but can't find where to set preferences to always 
set the eQSL flag for new QSOs.
Also can this be setup for LOTW? Where?

 1. I do that - but select a date range in DX4WIN

If you have your preferences set up to always set the eQSL flag for
new QSOs, you don't need to set a date range.  Export to eQSL will
only export those new QSOs.  When done exporting, let it clear the
upload flag and set the upload date.

 6. I now do your step 5 - Import from eQSL, selecting the file that was 
 downloaded.

 What could be wrong?

Don't know, I haven't downloaded from eQSL in a while. I'll try maybe
next week if I get some free time.

Same places.  Preferences | QSO

In 8.0x, there's a box in the upper-right with three separate check
boxes - QSL, LoTW, eQSl.  They set the label and/or upload flags for
all new QSOs. including imported.

[Dx4win] eQSL Confirmations

2012-02-28 Thread Bud Governale, W3LL
I uploaded to eQSL DX4WIN logbook contacts from the 160M SSB contest. DX4WIN 
asked if I wanted to upload 496 contacts. 
That was the correct number of contacts made so I said yes. I have the 
generated .adi file which was uploaded to eQSL. A 
few days after the contest I downloaded the eQSL report (which I have) and 
imported it into DX4WIN. I was surprised to 
see all 496 contacts were confirmed.
I then went into eQSL to see who was confirmed. Only saw about 40 confirmations 
on eQSL.

This phenomenon also happened during the last contest. I also read about 
someone reporting the phenomenal success rate 
after that previous contest.

It appears that I must be doing something wrong - although I've been uploading 
to both LOTW and eQSL via DX4WIN for 
quite some time.
(BTW, DX4WIN showed 17 confirmations from LOTW which is correct. So no issue 
with LOTW).

I now need a way to purge all the bogus eQSL confirmations and find out how to 
fix the confirmation issue.

It doesn't appear to be an eQSL issue since eQSL doesn't show everything 
confirmed. It may be an issue with the DX4WIN 
generated .adi upload and/or .adi down load files - but I can't read .adi. Just 
guessing.

Looking for help.

Bud,
I've had this problem in the past with DX4WIN and LoTW. I downloaded a big
chunk of my log from LoTW and loaded it into DX4WIN. That caused ALL of
those QSOs to be marked as confirmed where most of them weren't.

Whatever you use to download QSLs from eQSL must include ONLY confirmed
QSOs. The DX4WIN import assumes that they're all confirmations and sets the
eQSL Confirmed' flag.


 I now need a way to purge all the bogus eQSL confirmations and find out
 how to fix the confirmation issue.


I suspect that there's a way to clear the eQSL confirmed flag using
Multiple QSO operations but someone else will need to help you with this.
Once you've cleared the flag, you can re-download confirmations from eQSL
and add them to DX4WIN.

Re: [Dx4win] eQSL Confirmations

2012-02-28 Thread Jim Reisert AD1C
What you should be doing:

1.  Export to eQSL

2.  Upload ADIF file from #1 to eQSL

3.  Wait.

4.  Download outbox (I think) from eQSL.  It's the one that has your
confirmations.  I think inbox is all your QSOs, so don't download that
one.

5.  Import from eQSL, selecting the file you downloaded in #4

This should set the eQSL confirmed flags to Y, nothing else, if you've
done it properly.

- Jim
