Ref: POB 88. When I was stationed at Kodiak Alaska there were times we would interact (to put it nicely) with Russian Bear bombers near Adak and Attu with our USCG C-130's. My mail came thru the Coast Guard mail room. One day I was called into the C.O.'s office where our base security officer

I concur. DX4WIN lost my Country file once and would not open correctly. I have DX4WIN on two computer, a laptop for when I travel and the main home PC. I went to the laptop and copied the country file from it to a thumb drive, then copied this country file to the main PC and all was well. I then

I just want to throw in that if you discovered the mistake before you saved the log you can exit without saving and the Y will be gone when you reopen DX4WIN. In other words the log will reopen to how it was before you made the changes but did not save the changes. A warning will come up when

Like you guys, I do a monthly (or after a contest) upload to LoTW, QRZ.COM, ClubLog, and eQSL. All goes well. I am not a real eQSL user but do my uploads for those who may desire my NV cfm thru eQSL. After reading this I decided to try to download my eQSL confirmations from the eQSL website to my

You missed the point. Tom meant non-QSO related notes (e.g., raised dipole to 60', new TS-990, new amp, North Korea added to deleted countries, etc.). QSO related notes are easy. I liked someone's idea about logging yourself and using that for personal station notes. I actually still have a

> Confirmed = Light Gray > Worked = Red or Med Gray > Not Worked = Black OK, it seems you want to INVERT the colors. I think what I can add two more check boxes: 1. Confirmed/Checked same color 2. Emphasize Needed grids (or something like that) It sounds like you would want both boxes

When you work with LOTW or other such stuff always check afterwards in the SAVE AS folder that you are using the DX4WIN/SAVE folder. For my purposes I use a separate LOTW folder to save my LOTW adif files. Afterwards, If I am not careful my SAVE AS folder will open to my LOTW folder and I will
