Re: [Dx4win] Keep track of IOTA and Russian oblast credits
Hello Kostas HNY and thanks for your answer. I have changed the award flags in IOTA, RDA and Russian oblast contest to both S for submitted and C for checked and neither turns up in the reports as submitted or checked if not the QSL flag is set to Y. I am using DX4WIN 8.04. I tried to uncheck all boxes in Awards|Confirmation without success. So it seems like the problem is consistent for both IOTA and Costume awards. It would be very good for IOTA chasing if it in the IOTA window could bee seen if an Island group has been checked or not. As is it is just the ones that are confirmed with QSL that are seen as C, if not the boxes for LotW or eQSL is marked. However, the latter is of no use since neither confirmations through LotW nor eQSL accounts for IOTA awards. 73 de Mel - SM0MPV 8S0C - Contest Call 2011/1/7 Kostas Stamatis sv1...@otenet.gr: Hello Mel and HNY You can change manually the flags to Checked even a qso is not confirmed. I have not ever run the iota contest as i am in vacations or in a dxpedition and run with other call but i have done the Russian contest many times. Every time i get a report from them, i change manually the custom award flags to C (checked). I am sure that i had checked this in past and i hope still works. Pse try it and tell us if it is still ok. 73 Kostas SV1DPI - Original Message - From: Mel SM0MPV sm0...@stockholm.bonet.se To: dx4win Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Friday, January 07, 2011 12:55 AM Subject: [Dx4win] Keep track of IOTA and Russian oblast credits Hi, I know that I am back to an old topic but since it has presently been possible to get credits for 2010 IOTA contest by uploading the Cabrillo log I had to bring it up again. Uploading cabrillo logs is a way to get credits for contacts that not have been QSLed. If tagging S or C in the award fields they will not be recognised unless these contacts have a confirmation either from a card or LotW. It is not possible to claim IOTA credits from contacts confirmed through LotW. Since contacts made during the IOTA contest are accepted as credits by RGSB without any cards, if both stations have entered their logs, it is not possible to keep track of the IOTA award in DX4WIN. The same problem is true for Russian oblast award, since contacts made during RDXC could be used to claim credits. I sincerely hope this will be changed in the next version. 73 de Mel – SM0MPV 8S0C – Contest Call __ 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 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] Fred Fish Memorial Award
It would be possible for me to create a custom award module for the Fred Fish Award. In addition to filling in the grid square field in the log, you would also have to select FFMA from the Custom Award field, and then select the same grid AGAIN in the Custom Award Value field. If this is acceptable to people (and would work with older versions of DX4WIN also), let me know, and I'll see if I can make something over the weekend. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, 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

Re: [Dx4win] Keep track of IOTA and Russian oblast credits
Mel you have right Probalby this has broken meanwhile. I am sure that i tested in past and it was working. But now not. So we hope that Paul will fix it or add it anyway in the next version. 73 Kostas SV1DPI __ 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] fred fish award
Jim That would be great. Right now, only QSL cards count towards the award, but soon, very soon, ARRL will open up their programming in LOTW for that to count for VUCC and Fred Fish award. That would mean a DX4WIN owner should have the method of saying they have a card or a LOTW credit for each of the 488 grids. The Fred Fish award seems to be equivalent to the DXCC Honor roll in which it takes many years, being at the right place when prop takes place, and having all those grids on the air to work. You are an asset to amateur radio! It would be possible for me to create a custom award module for the Fred Fish Award. In addition to filling in the grid square field in the log, you would also have to select FFMA from the Custom Award field, and then select the same grid AGAIN in the Custom Award Value field.
