Nothing about UA0 changes. Asiatic Russia includes prefixes beginning with UA8, UA9 and UA0. The only change is that *some* of the UA9 prefixes are now considered (for DXCC purposes) to be European Russia (UA) instead of Asiatic Russia (UA9, which is the primary prefix for this DXCC entity). The DXCC list does not change. UB0A is same as UA0A, which is the Krasnoyarsky region, and in CQ Zone 18 as you found. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , 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] Added Feature
I simply envisioned another box in the QSO entry window that would be populated with the appropriate information automatically without any request just like it is with the spots, you shouldn't have to do any "ALT B" the data base is there and DX4WIN obviously already looks for matches to populate the spots window. As for screen real-estate perhaps the QSL manager box could be shifted down next to the QSL method box and its existing position used to display Memb information relating to the call in the callsign entry box. 73 John ZL1BYZ. -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Kostas Stamatis Sent: Sunday, 18 December 2011 10:00 To: REFLECTOR dx4win Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Added Feature Usually i keep record from qsl cards about who is dx4win user.

Re: [Dx4win] Country file prefix changes coming (European Russia)
I suppose this makes sense. I did a quick check of my UA/RA etc calls by doing a search for prefix UA9 (as of now you cannot search for prefix UA0, DX4WIN does not recognize UA0 and opens the PREFIX window so you can find the proper prefix) and found that calls with a 9 were logged as zone 17 or 18 while calls with a 0 were logged as zone 19. Only exception I found was UB0A was logged as zone 18 and his QRZ.COM data also says zone 18. I thought maybe the prefix UB made the difference but QRZ.COM says just plain Russia. I suppose DX4WIN will now treat UA0 as a new and separate prefix from UA9 in a future CTY file update? Alan, K7ACZ -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Jim Reisert AD1C Sent: Friday, December 16, 2011 1:59 PM To: DX4WIN Reflector Subject: [Dx4win] Country file prefix changes coming (European Russia) Hi Folks, The ARRL has ruled that callsigns beginning with UA9F, UA9G and UA9X should be counted for European Russia (UA), not Asiatic Russia (UA9/0). Here is more info: http://www.arrl.org/awards-blog Look for the heading near the bottom, "DXCC and Russian Prefix Information (rev.)" The change is effective 1 December 2011, but it affects all such callsigns going back to the start of the ARRL DXCC program (i.e. all the QSOs in your log -- past, present and future). The ARRL is *not* going to require anyone to re-submit QSLs for DXCC credit due to the change. For example, I have an Asiatic Russia (UA9/0) credit on my 80 meter DXCC with UA9FGR. Under the new rules, this really should have been credited to European Russia (UA). But the ARRL is not going to retroactively change their records, requiring me to send in a different UA9/0 QSL for credit with UA9/0. Nor do we want DX4WIN users to have to do that either. Here is how it's going to affect DX4WIN users: 1. A new country file will be released. Starting with QSO dates of 1-December-2011, all callsigns in your log beginning with UA9F, UA9G or UA9X (and other variations like RA9...) will now be credited to European Russia, UA. QSOs with these callsigns before 1-December-2011 will be unaffected. This means your past DXCC credits will be the same as before. 2. If DX4WIN submits a confirmation for credit with Asiatic Russia (UA9/0), and it chooses a QSO from before 1-December 2011, make sure it does not begin with UA9F, UA9G or UA9X (or similar callsigns). If it does: a. clear all your submission flags b. Go to the QSO that DX4WIN tried to submit, and change all three DXCC award flags to "I", meaning invalid for DXCC c. Do the submission again Repeat steps a. through c. above until DX4WIN submits a callsign that does *not* begin with UA9F, UA9G, or UA9X, or is after 1-December 2011. Alternatively, if you already know of a "good" QSO with Asiatic Russia that you would like to submit, set that QSOs DXCC award flag(s) to "S" (submitted) *before* doing the initial submission. This will tell DX4WIN to choose this QSO first. I know this sounds confusing. The country file change is actually not that hard. However, trying to apply the new rule based on what DX4WIN wants to submit is where the user must be a little involved in the submission process. If you have any questions, let me know. I hope to release a new country file Saturday 17-December. 73 - Jim AD1C __ 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
