Thanks for all the replies. Obviously, I had not progressed along far enough in the label printing process to realize that Dx4win allows you to skip over missing labels and thus use a partial sheet of label; neat! 73 - John, W4AU -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Back up up your log. Do a search (F8) for QSOs with the UPL CONF flag set to yes. Then QSO|Multiple QSOs Operation|Set Confirmed Flag|Yes. This will set all the selected QSOs to Yes for both. 73, Les W2LK Karl Oyster, K1KO wrote: With the advent of LOTW there have been lots of qsls which are confirmed in my log. Unfortunately, although these contacts are marked UPL CONF, there is no way I can find to mark both UPL CONF and 'regular' confirmation. The regular confirmation is what seems to count for the reports performed by DX4WIN. Can anyone tell me if there's a way to do a global change from UPL CONF but no regular confirmation to both UPL and regular showing as confirmed. If I've missed this somewhere in the manual or on the discussion list, please excuse me. Vy73, Karl, K1KO ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win

Has anyone printed directly on a QSL using an HP LaserJet 6? Will this printer accept QSL sized stock?

This will set all the selected QSOs to Yes for both. The big problem with actually setting both flags is you lose the ability to differentiate between cards and LOTW. This becomes important when you need to select cards to manually submit along with your on-line LOTW submissions. It is nice to be able to search for those QSOs with UplCnf=N and Cnfm=Y. This identifies all those cards I have to dig out and actually have manually checked. 73, Dick -- Dick Flanagan K7VC NV SM [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Dx4win] re Global changes for confirmations
Thanks to all who responded. I decided to save a copy of the log (always a smart move, I think), and hen did the search (F8) for UPL CNFM marked Y, then to QSO|Multiple QSOs Operation|Set Confirmed Flag|Yes. Worked like a champ, which is usual, it seems with DX4WIN. Incidentally, one gent, Dick Flanagan, pointed out that have both flags set would make it more difficult to determine which confirmed QSOs were only on cards and/or which were only on LOTW. He's absolutely correct, of course, so when I saved the log prior to the global confirmed routine, I made two copies: one on the flash drive for the log as it was prior to the operation and, one which is in a file marked dx4win UNTOUCHABLE (for obvious reasons). I found that there appears to be no difference in the DXCC report from the log after doing the global confirmed operation, so I'll probably go to the untouchable file, and save it back into the SAVE directory as K1KOlog after changing the current one to another name: oldK1KOlog, or something equally innovative. Thanks VERY much for all the help. Very 73, Karl, K1KO Virginia Beach, VA

I differentiate by Upl Cnf = Y for LOTW only And Cnfm = Y AND Upl Cnf = N for cards. Bryan, ZL1NI . have both flags set would make it more difficult to determine which confirmed QSOs were only on cards and/or which were only on LOTW Karl, K1KO Virginia Beach, VA

Preferences - QSO - Confirmed QSOs - Card or upload Dick has the correct solution. There are two separate fields in the logbook: Cnfm - paper QSL Upl Cnf - electronic confirmation (LoTW) The preferences setting above causes them to be ORed together for the purpose of generating award reports. As someone else pointed out, if you set both flags, you'll never be able to tell an electronic from a paper confirmation apart. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ad1c.us

No warm up time for ink jets? My Canon i560 inkjet does a little dance that lasts for over a minute when it first turns on. My Lexmark laser takes maybe 5 seconds from power on switch to when it starts printing. :-) Guess we should be careful with generalizations! (And there's no comparison for print speed. Now I'm making generalizations!) 73, Duane On Sun, 25 Mar 2007 16:26:44 -0400 Roger D Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Cesar and Group I use a laser printer to direct print on the QSL cards.
