[Dx4win] Missing Contacts
For the second time this year I've lost contacts made between December 25, 2019 - February 29, 2020. I feel certain they were there, as I was able to download them from LoTW. I do the normal save/backup, and they were also missing from the backup? 73, Shelby - K4WW As I don't have an iPad nor iPhone, sent from my PC __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
[Dx4win] Comments in logbook?
Years ago, in the dark ages before we had electronics logs, it was very convenient to write a comment in the logbook. Something like “new dipole” or “new radio”. I would like to suggest a similar function for dx4win. Maybe have the program recognize and entry made with the callsign field starting with the #sign as a comment. No entries for qsl, etc. but just day, time, notes for this qso. Maybe the current frequency and mode. Items would appear chronologically in the log, but nowhere else. Not sure how difficult this would be, but it would be very useful, albeit only used occasionally. 73, Tom W4KX Sent from my iPad __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Do you have more than one log or more than one DX4WIN installation? Are you opening up the same log from multiple places (at once), i.e. over a network? -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us __ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Dx4win won’t take it w/o a valid call in the callsign field. Thx!

Re: [Dx4win] Comments in logbook?
Use your own callsign. Then, when you want to search for notes (F8) just type your own callsign.73,Mike Cizek WØVTT Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Original message From: Tom Doligalski via DX4WIN Date: 6/19/20 15:26 (GMT-06:00) To: DX4WIN Reflector Subject: [Dx4win] Comments in logbook?
