[Dx4win] DX4WIN v8.02 log problem

2009-11-19 Thread Carl Mason
Hi everyone,
I went to open my log v8.02 this morning to find that I had lost three days of 
QSO's even though I have used and backed up the log daily. Not only that, the 
first 4000+ entires in my log had no information other than X's in all logbook 
fields! The demo log included with v8.02 had several days worth of my latest 
contacts in it even though I have never opened it or saved to. I only have the 
two logs in the 'Save' folder.my main station log and the demo log. This 
may be a 'glitch' on my part but as I have not edited or played around with the 
logs or had a computer crash I have no idea why it happened. I eventually found 
a '~xl' back up file which fortunately had the missing information in it!!! It 
may be worth you keeping an eye on your logs and saving your 'log file' on a 
regular basis 'just in case' there is a problem.
73,
Carl GW0VSW

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN v8.02 log problem

2009-11-19 Thread Mel
A couple of questions before venturing an opinion...
Which OS... and which File System if you know.

When you say you will save your file... are you running it for days on 
end without doing a File Save or Cntl-S. The reason I ask this is if you 
have a scheduled backup running it will back up the file as it stood 
last time you did a File Save. If is important that anyone doing a 
scheduled backup save the file to disk periodically.

[Dx4win] My new Icom IC-7600 and my SteppIR interface, how to hook up???

2009-11-19 Thread george
Since I purchased the new Icom IC-7600 that has a computer USB interface I 
can't figure out how to interface my SteppIR control box with it's RS232 
interface.

The Com port assigned to the 7600 is a virtual com port interface for the 
7600 using the USB interface. I'm using DWAIN for my logging program.

In the past I used a Y cable that was between my rig and my computer and the 
SteppIR box.

Anyone have an idea how I can get DX4WIN, 7600, and the SteppIR control box 
to change frequency or how it should be interfaced to my computer???
Thanks

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN v8.02 log problem

2009-11-19 Thread Carl Mason
Hi Mel,

I run XP Pro. When I leave the programme it says I have updated the logbook 
and do I want to save it. I always say 'yes' and up to now have not had a 
problem. I also back up the log to a memory stick, usually once a week.

Over the past three days I have opened the programme several times and each 
time my last entry was in the logbook. This morning when the log opened I had 
the problem.

Cheers,

Carl

[Dx4win] skimmer spots not showing

2009-11-19 Thread Mark n2qt
I'm running D4W  7.02 and in experimenting with skimmer on my local packet 
cluster node,
the spots show in the DX4WIN packet window but do not show in the DXCC 
sorted by
Priority Window.

Here's a sample spot from the packet window:

  3513.1  FM5BH   19-Nov-2009 2225Z  33 dB  25 WPM  DE we4m-13FM 
N4KEV-#
  3505.9  4O3A19-Nov-2009 2225Z   +4O 
K3IPK
  3513.0  K1KX19-Nov-2009 2225Z  27 dB  26 WPM we4m-13 K 
N4KEV-#

The skimmer spots (from N4KEV-#) are the ones that don't make it.   I assume 
the -# SSID must
be at fault, but is there a way to allow these?

Mark n2qt

PS the skimmer spots just go to my cluster so no skimmer pro/cons please.

Hi Mel,
I am positive that the correct log was saved and have no explanation for the

Well that eliminates cross-linked files as the problem (a nightmare with older 
FAT file systems).

Can you be absolutely sure you never opened the demo log? If you did so even 
once, the program would open it automatically after that...

As for the X's, it's hard to know if that happened while the log was open by 
DX4Win or there is another issue. It's a reminder that we not only need 
backups, but preferably a few generations...

I just brought up another computer running dx4win 7.07 and it's working ok. 
Looks like
it has the same spotting patterns, so it is a 7.02 issue.  (and therefore

I have been working closely with Alan, 5B4AHJ who maintains the
country file for the Club Log web site (http://www.clublog.org).  Both
of us have been helping each other improve our respective databases.
Hence, this release has a larger-than-usual list of changes.  His help
has been invaluable.  The improvements will be ongoing.  If you have
uploaded your log to Club Log in the past, and received an error
listing, try uploading your entire log again to see the improvement.

Thanks to everyone for their contributions.  There will be another 
release shortly after December 1.

[Dx4win] Countries not showing as checked

2009-11-19 Thread Joe Stepansky
I just upgraded from version 7 to version 8.02 and have an interesting
problem.  Most of my DXCC checked country count converted just fine, EXCEPT
for CW.  EIGHTY entities are not counted as checked, merely confirmed
(version 7 had 333 entities checked, version 8 has only 253 checked).  Yet
when I select one of the QSOs, the record clearly shows the mode to be
checked for CW.  

 

I thought I'd just go through the 80 countries and brute force them to be
checked, but they're already considered checked.  So why does DX4Win 8
try to tell me that they're merely confirmed?  Version 7 got the message and
considered the checked, but version 8 seems to have its own ideas.  

 

I'm sure it's a simple fix, I just can't figure out what it might be.

 

73, Joe KQ3F

Were the QSOs made before 01/01/1975?  If so, they aren't valid for CW
DXCC, and should not have been approved by the ARRL.

 Seems that's it.  I did get credit from the ARRL, but not for the same QSOs
 I marked as checked.  The approved QSOs were post 1/1/75.  It looks like,
 for the sake of expediency when I first went to DX4Win, I simply marked the
 first confirmed QSO as checked.  Prior versions of DX4Win seemed to be OK
 with that, this one isn't.  No problem, I just picked one example country
 and selected a post 1/1/75 confirmed QSO as checked and all is well.
 Thanks!

DX4WIN 8 has a new awards manager that understands the starting date
for various awards like DXCC CW and various WAZ awards.

It may be possible to go to your ARRL LoTW account (if you have one)
and go to your DXCC award to find the QSOs for which you actually
received CW DXCC credit.
