[Dx4win] Sort omissions
This is a new one on me... I decided to use F8 to sort 160m QSO's from 1Sep05 for the Lowband Monitor's 160 WAC award for this season. In examining the resultant listing I was startled not to see listed three New Ones worked on 27Jan2006. In fact, the listing showed none of the five topband QSO's logged that day nor an 80m QSO but did display one other QSO logged that day (40m). The missing QSO's are displayed in the whole log, but will not display using F8 no matter what search criteria are used, including looking for the specific callsigns! I have no idea if that date is unique in this regard or if I will find other such instances. I have examined the individual entries and they appear to be OK as to entered data. Obviously, if F8 does not produce a complete listing of requested data, it is worse than useless, and I am wondering how many of the cards I have sent back labelled NIL may have really been in the log! Can anyone offer some insight as to what may be happening here? Garry, NI6T
[Dx4win] Additional info on F8 problem
Here is some additional information that may help shed some light on the F8 omission problem just reported. I loaded a prior backup dated 6 Feb 2006 which sorts normally. After that backup was created on that date as a precaution, I converted my Writelog contest log from the CQ160 contest from 28 and 29 January to an ADIF file using WL2DX4WIN.exe--a conversion app that includes State info in the ADIF. I then imported the ADIF into DX4WIN and have since added more QSO's in February. When the ADIF was imported, there was one QSO in the log that was later than the QSO's in the mported file, so the ADIF was not appended but inserted into the pre-existing DX4WIN log file. One would think that this should not make a difference--but perhaps it does. It may make sense to make a copy of this prior backup, reimport the CQ160 contest and see what happens. Garry, NI6T
[Dx4win] LOTW vs DX4WIN Auditing
Are there any utilities out there that will produce a report of the differences between LOTW and DX4WIN results? I'd love to get out of this labor-intensive activity of going through and seeing which Mailed QSL's are unconfirmed on LOTW, and which Confirmed or Submitted QSLs aren't reflected on LOTW. And, of course, the LOTW credits that somehow aren't in DX4WIN. This printing-two-copies-and-mark-them-with-ink is a bit of a pain.

Some of those lap tops are in the end of its lives. I have the intention to use newest version of lap tops, and all of them with USB ports and some without a parallel port LPT. I'm sure that several of you already faced this problem before and I kindly ask your opinion on what is the best existent solution for it.
