DXKeeper can upload QSOs to LotW with a single mouse click; the process of
exporting an ADIF file, invoking TQSL to produce an encrypted file, and
uploading the encrypted file to LotW is entirely automated. Updating your
log to reflect uploaded QSOs accepted by LotW and QSLs generated by LotW is
similarly automated.

There is software that blind ops can use in conjunction with DXKeeper; if
your friend would like to explore this, I'd be happy to make the appropriate
introduction.

DXKeeper is a member of the freeware DXLab Suite; its available via
http://www.dxlabsuite.com/download.htm . Just click the "Install Launcher"
button...

Have a quick look at "DXKEEPER" -- its freeware along with the rest of the
DXlab toolset.

It interacts quite well with the LOTW, although he will have to use the
standard path to take an ADI file through the LOTW software. This isn't done
by DXkeeper (or any other logging program)

It will quite easily interact and download the actual QSL's granted by LOTW
and keep track of how he's doing against DXCC, WAS, County Hunter, and a
myriad of others.

And its Free and works quite well. He'll still have to enter the QSOs from
his paper logs...

Good morning,

A friend of mine, who has been loosing his sight for a few years is now
termed as "Legally Blind", although he can see and use his computer with the
aid of a magnifying glass.

He wants to put his logs on Logbook of The World, but has never had a
computer logging program that he entered his contacts in.  This means he
needs to enter the contacts into a logging program that is compatible with
the format required by LoTW... I believe either the adif or the cabrillo
format is acceptable.

I have initiated the paperwork needed to get him started and he says he is
able to make the entries from his paper logs into a logging program.

What we need is a simple logging program... Doesn't have to be able to track
awards or anything else, just a basic program that will allow him ease of
use and the ability to interact with LoTW.  It needs to be either in a
format acceptable to LoTW or one that has a conversion program with it that
will convert it to an acceptable format.

Does anyone know of a shareware or reasonably priced simple program I can
download and install on his computer so he can start making his entries.

Thank you... Please answer off line to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Actually he can use the "Trusted QSL" program (which is needed anyway  
to sign the LOTW entries) to enter the contacts.  It's a two-step  
process in that you first need to enter the data and create ADIF file  
after which you sign the file to create the .tq8 file which is then  
uploaded to the LOTW web site.  I used that method to enter several  
years of paper logs I had from before I switched to computer  
logging.  Trusted QSL is freeware and is available for Windows,  
Macintosh and Linux computers at .

Re: [DX-CHAT] 80m HS plans

2007-04-22 Thread Gerry Hohn 


Charles,

Good to hear you will try 80 for NA. How much power will you run?

Will be looking for you near our SR (12:00Z) on contest weekends (most).

Your point # 4 SSB contacts will not be good for DXCC as per rule 4: 
cross-mode contacts are not permitted for DXCC credits. Maybe you could use 
a QSX above 3600 for SSB RX.


Hope to work you on 80.

Shortly, I will have an 80m antenna functioning here at HS0ZCW... a sloper 
pointed North, but that is at least an antenna, eh?


I want more 80m HS activity so I am asking for direct replies to sked 
suggestions ... but note these limits...


1.  skeds must be on Thailand time/dates WEEKENDS because HS ops can not 
operate this band unless there is a ham contest running and contests are 
almost all only on weekends... Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.  Thailand 
is +7 hours GMT/UTC and neatly 12 hours ahead of EST.


2.  The freq must be between 3.500 and 3.535 by Thailand rules, CW or or 
or SSB there.


3.  I have a slow, sold as fast, internet connection.

4.  For any contacts, hoping there can be some, I would like to work CW 
first, then I xmit SSB to ur CW to confirm for u a SSB contact, too.  Note 
u will not xmit SSB in this part of the band.


5.  This message is carefully written;  please read it at least as 
carefully to avoid wrong replies.


Feel free to email me suggestions of skeds.  My Thailand phone number is 
+66-085-046-1922 for use only during on-the-air times.


Hey, let's have some more fun  73,
