Hi Paul... I had mentioned this in the discussion we had on spot levels. I realize it is by design... but my reasoning is as follows... At present, if the spot is outside the filter zone it's grey. Correct. If a spot arrives from inside the filter, indicating it is being heard in the area of

Tom could not have expressed my exact sentiments any better. I have DX4Win for many years and after each contest I merge my contest log into DX4Win thus having every contact I have ever made in a single, easy to access log. Prior to using DX4Win I wrote a logging program first in dBase II on a

In my opinion, I am not sure why Bill would want to create a group per contest - unless it is to make a personalised message on his QSL card, referring to the contest ? I thought that contest logging programmes allowed such stuff to be recorded in the notes for this QSO field ? 73 Dave G3NKC

I use a Group per Contest in managing my log and NK7U's log. This allows me to print a note on each card refering to each contest. For instance: Thanks for QSO in 2009 ARRL DX SSB Contest. By using Group numbers the Group Name is automatically applied to each QSO. And the Group number can be

Mel, Now if another spot arrives withing a couple of minutes from outside the geographic area it turns grey again... indicating it isn't being heard in the area of interest? Wrong. It's probably still being heard. Correct but if it would colored then it would be a BUG A filter is a filter, no

Mel, try sorting spots by Arrival instead of by Time. Then both the colored and gray spots will be in the Spots window. 73 - Jim AD1C On Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 4:03 AM, Mel Martin ve...@videotron.ca wrote: Hi Paul... I had mentioned this in the discussion we had on spot levels. I realize it

You seem to miss the point completely Guy... perhaps you are confused by the word bug in the subject which started the discussion... We are not discussing a bug at this point, but whether it is desirable for a grey spot to overwrite a colored spot. The issue doesn't arise when the grey spots

That's true... but I actually prefer the way it works when sorting by time... except for the alert color being overwritten. Most of the time I have the grey spots filtered out so its usually not an issue... it's only a minor inconvenience anyway. Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: Mel, try sorting

Hi In your preferences, QSO tab, check the box regarding the confirmed status : QSL in hand, LoTW or both... You should check QSL in hand to get the result you are looking for... By the way, there was a time when you could see both indications on the confirmed column. I no longer see those Am

If you have your QSO prefs set to Card or Upload, then yes, that's the way it works. Change it to Card in Hand. I mentioned this to Paul a little while ago. I also think it should work as you expected it to. 73 - Jim AD1C On Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 2:38 PM, Mel Martin ve...@videotron.ca wrote:

Thanks Paul, that is good news. I did read Jim's comments on limiting the amount of Groups used by assigning each category of contests (ARRLDX, CQWWDX, etc) a Group number then further sort/filter by the date. But I have already assigned many years of contests their own Group name (2009
