Hi Folks,
After I tried to generate an updated VUCC worked/needed map this
weekend (and Guy ON4AOI asked a related question), I decided to make a
Windows GUI version of this program (you can see a picture of it
here):
http://dx4win.ad1c.us/vucc/
I haven't had time to work on new documentation yet (trust me, it
won't be anything close to the DX4WIN Data Updater documentation).
Here is the new ZIP file for testing:
http://dx4win.ad1c.us/vucc/dx4wvucc_20110614.zip
This is a test release - it reports as version 2.9 but the official
release will be version 3.0.
Installation is the same as before:
"Just extract the ZIP file to a directory on your hard drive."
Make sure to extract the whole ZIP file so you get all the field name
images. Now navigate to, and run the vucc.exe (program) you just
extracted. You'll see a real Windows program! The Windows program
requires the same inputs as the command-line version (it should be
obvious how to enter them). It does do some basic checks on the
inputs you provide. After you have entered or selected the desired
fields/options, click on the Generate button and it will tell you how
many grid squares are in the "map" it created. Then click on the View
button to see the map in your web browser. At this point, you can
print the file from the browser. Remember that there are background
images for the field names, so in the printer Page Setup, make sure to
check the box next to "Print Background (colors and images)". You can
click on "Help" to go the documentation web page, or on the blue icon
in the upper-left to see the version information.
Let me know what problems you find, or what features you'd like added.
I'm still trying to find away to indicate grids valid for the Fred
Fish Memorial Award (FFMA). I heard today that KM0A just finished up!
I'm not sure why W9RPM (a DX4WIN user) isn't done yet (I thought he
had all the QSOs).
