Re: [Dx4win] Question

[Alan Zack]

I agree. You can set up filters to download only a portion of the log.
Example only your IOTA contacts or contacts to a certain country or
contest only. Or you will have a huge adif file of all your QSO's with
no filters..

Re: [Dx4win] VK5 DX Zones

[Alan Zack]

When I uploaded my log to ARRL LOTW and then did the download from
LOTW to DX4WIN the down loaded report showed VK5DOC was zone 29. The
root cause of this problem is that VK5DOC supplied the wrong zone info
when he opened his LOTW account. He does not show his zone on his
QRZ.COM page. 

So then when I downloaded my 2021 log entries to the DX Marathon
worksheet it chose VK5DOC for my Zone 29 entry. I could have used
VK6EI, VK6XI, or VK6LW for my 2021 Zone 29 entry had I known better
This has taught me that after I download my LOTW report to DX4WIN and
search for IMPORT for errors in the notes for this call widow to
DOUBLE CHECK when a discrepancy is shown. I believe I may have
incorrectly changed my log to show VK5DOC in zone 29 when the IMPORT
alert showed it to be Zone 29. Now, to this day, even with several CTY
file updates (via the HELP>CHECK FOR UPDATE) when I type VK5DOC into
the call window (pretending a new log entry) it still shows Zone 29. I
don't know why when I have the latest CTY file it still logs as Zone
29.

We are at the mercy of what people use for their zones, grids, IOTA
number, etc, when they set up their LOTW account. I was not aware of
what VK calls fall into what zones so assumed the zone for VK5DOC
downloaded from LOTW was correct. It was not.

How does DX4WIN determine DX Zones? By the country list? I have the

Marathon UBN results back and I got dinged for entering VK5DOC for
Z29. The VK5DOC qrz.com page does not show what zone he is in. When I
logged him in my DX4WIN log it was entered as Z29, not Z30. The QSO is
confirmed with LoTW. It shows him in Z29, not Z30.
 
When I asked John K9EL, the contest manager, why I was dinged for a

"I also use DX4Win and if I enter VK5DOC, it says Zone 30.
I have never heard that any VK5 stations can be in Zone 29.  I have

John may very well be right but why would my version of DX4WIN show
Z29 and his show Z30? I only have one entry for VK5DOC on 07/03/2021.
In my log for Z29 I have many VK6, VK8, and VK9 stations but only one

It is a mystery to me.

Re: [Dx4win] VK5 DX Zones

[Alan Zack]

Yes, the LOTW entry shows Z29 in the confirmation. I don't remember
now but am guessing after downloading the confirmation ADIF file from
and entering it into my DX4WIN file either it automatically changed it
to Z29 to match his info or I was directed to do so when I ran the
search for IMPORT to find differences between what I had logged and
what LOTW had in its records. Usually the only differences are in GRID
numbers. Anyway, mystery solved, not a problem with my country file.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Entering VK5DOC over here correctly assumes zone 30. If your log has
him as 29, it's possible that you created an exception in the database
by overriding 30 with 29. He may have given you a wrong number - he
wouldn't be the first one. The other possibility is that he
incorrectly set up his TQSL station information with a wrong zone and
you overrode the default zone in the log by accepting the LOTW value.
LOTW works on the GIGO system - virtually no station info verification
exists.

Hope this helps.

County hunting is a noble, if not difficult pursuit.  I have worked and 
confirmed all 3077 US Counties on both CW and SSB, but have never had time to 
submit for the USACA award.  Hopefully, I will have time when I retire.  I am 
within 100 confirmations of 20 meters only.  I have over 2000 worked on 
digital, but I am not trying to confirm them.

Regarding state QSO parties, if you logged them using a logging program that 
can output ADIF to import into DX4WIN, please look at this utility that I wrote:

https://ad1c.us/dx4win/adif2dxq/

This will convert the county abbreviations to counties in DX4WIN.

If you still have the state QSO party county abbreviations in your DX4WIN log, 
I could try to convert them for you, but it may take time to come up with the 
right program to do it.  Please contact me off the reflector.

Re: [Dx4win] Omitting IOTA info in spots

Just curious why would you want to delete the IOTA info? There are many IOTA 
chasers that would appreciate it. This week YE1AR/6 has activated a rare IOTA, 
OC-254. Most of his contacts are with Asia or Europe as his choice of freqs are 
not making for good propagation timing for NA. So yes, the IOTA designator 
catches my eye.

I have released version 9.9 of ADIF to DX4WIN, you can download it
from here:

   http://dx4win.ad1c.us/adif2dxq/

There is no need to uninstall the old version first.  If you are
upgrading from a version released before 2017, make sure to read the
first NOTE on the web page.

Here are the release notes:

Ver 9.9 - 10 December 2021
Feature: Improved support for ARI International DX Contest
Feature: SPDX contest works with N1MM, updates Polska custom award
Feature: Worked All Germany contest works with DXLog
Feature: Added Helvetia contest, updates Helvetia custom award
Feature: Added His Majesty The King of Spain Contest
Feature: Added New Hampshire QSO Party
Feature: Added Arizona QSO Party support for WriteLog
Feature: Added new abbreviations for Delaware QSO Party (KDE, NDE
and SDE)
Feature: Combined DE QSO Party with 7-Land, Indiana and New
England QSO Parties
Feature: Convert the US county (if available) when using the
"None" contest selection
Feature: Removed Update checkbox, replaced with LoTW and eQSL
Bug Fix: Age is now read from WriteLog log for All Asia contest
Bug Fix: QSO in RDA Contest with no logged exchange could crash
the program
Bug Fix: AL, KY and TX QSO Parties didn't populate the Rcvd field
(WriteLog)
Other: now using Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 compiler

The default output format is DX4WIN9 format.  If you are still using
an older version of DX4WIN, you must select a different output format.
You can *not* import DX4WIN9-formatted DXQ files into DX4WIN 8.0x or
earlier!

Your anti-virus program may report a false-positive during
installation or operation.  Please disable it to see if that fixes the
problem.  I use the anti-virus built into Windows 10 and have not had
any problems with either.

Re: [Dx4win] Converted ADIF import sets eQSL flag

[Alan Zack]

From AD1C's adif2dxq page:

There are four optional checkboxes:

Checking the Upload box sets the LoTW (Logbook of the World) Upload flag for 
each imported QSO. For DX4WIN 8 and later, it also sets the eQSL Upload flag. 
This feature is enabled by default.

So it seems if you wish to have the LOTW upload flag set then eQSL flag gets 
set along with it. I also import my WRITELOG adif contest files to DX4WIN. My 
imports set both flags. I just ignore the eQSL flag. Or use the eQSL drop down 
menu to uncheck the flag as Mike mentioned.  KISS

I think you need to uncheck the upload flag box in AD1C software. 
Possibly this uncheck the lotw flag as well.

There is always the option to clear eqsl upload flags after import. In qso

Differently do a search first.

Re: [Dx4win] counties

[Alan Zack]

Along the same line for counties:

If I do the Report | County | Listing and I see a county marked as W
but in the actual logging window in the LOTW confirm box it shows
CFM=Y. So should I assume that counties in the REPORT listing only
show confirmed if you have a paper QSL but not shown as confirmed from
a LOTW confirmation? I know this is how it works for IOTA but I
thought maybe it would treat counties differently.

I am not a county chaser but the question about Alaskan counties got
my attention since I was based both at Kodiak Isld and Annette Isld
(former airport for Ketchikan) and frequently had to explain Alaska
does not have actual counties but have Judicial Districts.

I frequently enter the CQP and the checked Report | County | Listing
and I see I have worked, logged, or confirmed every CA County but only
a few that I have as confirmed by a QSL card are shown as C. Other
counties confirmed by LOTW only show as W or L.

Where are they not showing up?  I just did a Report | County | Listing
and I see them there.

Note that to be compatible with other award programs, they were
renamed to "First" through "Fourth" in the last country file release.
But that should not have caused any problems.  Do you have the latest
country file?

Re: [Dx4win] FAILURE OF MY PROGRAM

[Alan Zack]

No, I am not SAVING it onto the USB stick. I COPY the .dxl file to the USB 
stick BUT the DX4WIN/SAVE folder still holds the .dxl file and if I make any 
changes to the log the changes go to the .dxl in the /SAVE folder.
 
Had I gone to the SAVE AS window and selected the USB stick in the drop down 
SAVE IN small window then yes, I would be changing where the next log changes 
would go. But in my scenario the .dxl file is only copied to the USB stick.
 
I know what you mean because in the past when working with LOTW I had a 
separate folder on my desktop where I saved my LOTW export.adi, then imported 
it to ARRL/LOTW, then when I got my report back after LOTW processed my import 
I saved it in the LOTW folder. I would select the LOTW folder using the drop 
down window in the SAVE AS window. But as you stated I had to be sure to change 
it back to the DX4WIN/SAVE folder. Later I decided there was no need for me to 
save every export .adi file after I had imported it to the ARRL LOTW website. 
But the way I do my back up save to a USB drive is different.
 
Hope that explanation makes sense.
 
73 and thanks for a great logging program. I am an original user having first 
rcvd the program on an old 7 inch floppy disc.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN.CTY country file Release #21.7 - 23 March 2021

[Alan Zack]

Doing a search for IOTAMSG I had 2824 hits. Most were for JA calls that I did 
not enter an IOTA number, plus ZL, UA9, IT9, 9M6, DU, YB calls IOTA fills where 
I had not entered an IOTA number. KP4 added Island name.

ZK1USA IOTAMSG changedOC013 to OC014. QRZ.COM says Rarotonga which is OC014

I have a strange entry for K5K Kingman Reef DXpedition Oct 2000. My QSL cards 
says OC-096. Notation in NOTES for this QSL says: IOTAMSG: Bad Island=6312

PJ2/W8WTS shows IOTAMSG: Bad Island=8464

3D2R/MM 09/2011 IOTAMSG: Added IOTA But was /MM, not IOTA

XF1AA says IOTAMSG: Bad Island=3256, QRZ.COM says: Isla Isabel DXpedition 
NA-189

FO5RH says IOTAMSG: Bad IOTA=OC066 IOTAMSG: Bad Island=6050

TI9/3Z9DX/MM says IOTAMSG: Added IOTA but was /MM no IOTA

VP8IDX/MM says IOTAMSG: Added IOTA but was /MM no IOTA

HI3LT says IOTAMSG: Bad Island=3929

R7AL/1 says IOTAMSG: Bad IOTA=EU104 but ClubLog says: Pezhostrov isl. EU-147 
07-08 July 2020

There were many IOTAMSG that I will have to research by checking my QSL cards. 
I always check the IOTA number printed on the card against what is in my log 
but some of these are from the 1980 and 1990's:
VK7FLI, KL7AK, T30R, J48ISL, H44RY, H44MS, EM1HO, PX0Z, J8/WA2VUY, EM1KY, 
ZK1NJC, KC4USV, ZK1USA, 9Y4W, H40FN,  These had their IOTA numbers changed from 
what I had logged.

I will update later when I do more research.

Thanks for all your hard work with this project.

Hello Alan

If you update with the last country file, iota numbers will be updated 
according country file. If you have a QSO marked with something different iota 
number in your file, a notice will be inserted in "Notes for this QSO" field 
and iota will get the number the country file has. 
This notice will look as IOTAMSG: something more for example IOTAMSG: 
added IOTA

So you need to search (F8) for IOTAMSG: in "Notes for this QSO" field

This will return some QSOs. In my case about 40 QSOs returned. You need to look 
these QSOs and compare with original QSL cards. Send the QSOs you don't agree 
to Jim.

Why to do it?

1) help all other hams to have a right database

2) correct some mistakes you possibly have

3) possibly you will find some calls with an added iota and possibly this is a 
new one for you (the most of 40 QSOs were added iotas - unfortunately not 
something new this time - hi hi).

I have worked over 850 iotas and at least 850 checked and found some mistakes I 
did, some Jim did and some new (in previous releases) I hadn't asked for a card!

Re: [Dx4win] Microsoft update problem (DX4WIN)

[Alan Zack]

This has happened to me several times with no apparent reason why. It
always turns out to be my COUNTRY dat file went away. I go to the
BACKUP folder, find the latest COUNTRY DAT file, copy it to the SAVE
folder, then DX4WIN opens normally. Then I do a HELP: CHECK FOR
UPDATES to be sure I have the latest COUNTRY file.

In by BACKUP folder I have 81 sub folders with backed up stuff. Is it
necessary to keep all 81 folders? Can I delete all but the most recent
two or three?

I don't know why the COUNTRY file disappears every two or three
months. The first time it was scary until Paul responded to the crash
report generated when DX4WIN failed to open. Now I know what to do.

Trying to restart the application does not work and I also tried to

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN.CTY country file Release #21.7 - 23 March 2021

[Alan Zack]

I AM an IOTA chaser.

I don't quite understand what this is about. My fault, not yours, it
is a little over my head. I "think" what this change will do is when I
log a call the IOTA number will automatically be filled in as is done
with the COUNTRY, ZONE, etc

If I do this update will it change the IOTA designation of IOTA's
already logged in DX4WIN, most of which are confirmed so I know the
IOTA numbers are correct. Or will I just see a message in the NOTES
FOR THIS QSO or NOTES FOR THIS CALL telling me there is a mismatch?

The RSGB IOTA website maintains a list of IOTA's I have confirmed,
pending, and needed. I wish there was a way for me to download a
DX4WIN file to update my RSGB/IOTA record on their website.

The RSGB/IOTA website has come a long way. When I first started the
only way to confirm an IOTA was to have a card checker confirm a match
with a paper QSL. Then they were able to confirm a match from IOTA
contest files matching. Then matching via ClubLog, and now matching
via LOTW (but many DX do not have their IOTA number on file in their
LOTW record so sometimes there is no match).

This is a pretty big release if you are chasing "Islands on the Air"
(IOTA).  It started as an attempt to add European IOTAs from 2010-2021
that begin with the letter 'P' (only The Netherlands [Holland] PA),
which I did.  I moved on to the calls beginning with 'R', but found
that most of them had already been added to the database.

Something sparked me to revisit all the IOTA associated with Papua New
Guinea, P2.  The upcoming S21DX DXpedition had me reviewing all the
IOTA in Bangladesh.  I also learned that there is a little part of
Market Reef (OJ0) that counts as Sweden, SM for DXCC purposes.  Then I
got a little carried away researching a list of several thousand
callsigns (by date) that my software indicated needed to be reviewed
(that job is far from over).  I honestly do not know how many IOTA
operations were added to the country file this time around, but it was
at least 860 (that's the last number I remember seeing).



After the database is released for DX4WIN 9.0x users, if you are an
IOTA chaser, please run the Multiple QSO Operation "Check IOTAs" and
let me know how many mistakes I made.  It's best if you have a QSL to
verify against your log.  My data comes from DX spots which many times
can be incorrect or misleading.



I'm already planning to work on the European 'S' callsigns next.  That
includes Sweden (SM), Poland (SP) and Greece (SV).  I may also work on
'T' which is only Iceland (TF), Corsica (TK) and France (TM), of which
many (most) should already be in the database.  It's unlikely I'll get
to the Russian (UA etc.) calls before the next release.

Re: [Dx4win] IOTAs and DX4WIN

Thanks Jim, 
I have not done this for DXCC or any other award. I just use the ARRL/LOTW 
website and the RSGB IOTA website for IOTA's to track my award status. I do 
have 5BDXCC and over 700 IOTA's cfm'd..
But when I have quiet day with no distractions I will give it a try. Thank you 
for the very detailed instructions but it will take me awhile to figure them 
out.

Re: [Dx4win] IOTAs and DX4WIN

[Alan Zack]

Yes, I make submissions on line from IOTA Contest logs, LoTW and ClubLog 
confirmations. Also thru my IOTA card checker when I only have a card, no 
electronic submission.

But, how do the DX4WIN flags get populated? What changes them from -- to S or 
C? How does DX4WIN know I made a submission?

I keep separate IOTA listings from the IOTA website. I haven't figured out how 
to have DX4WIN track when I have a confirmation.  To me it would be very 
difficult to have DX4WIN track IOTA confirmations. IOTA only needs ONE, only 
ONE confirmation. Any band, any mode. You could work the same IOTA over and 
over on many bands and modes but only the first confirmation is counted. Any 
after that are ignored. Not like DXCC where you get credit for different bands, 
modes, etc. For example, I started tracking my IOTA's in 1990. I worked T32HK 
in 1990 for OC-024. I have logged many stations on OC-024 on many bands and 
modes, 117 in total, but only the very first in 1990 counts.

Hello Alan

that boxes are filled when you make an application in RSGB,  When you submit, S 
(submitted) is filled and when you have the QSOs checked you must change it to 
C (checked). DXCC flags work the same way. If you made a submission and you did 
not send the cards to the checker, you can clear them (reports>clear award

Subject: [Dx4win] IOTA OC-298 -- Tatakoto Atoll

If you are not an IOTA chaser, you can skip reading this...

Recently Cezar VE3LYC operated from Tatakoto as TX0T which was then
qualified as IOTA OC-298.  There were several past operations from
this atoll.  These will now also count as IOTA OC-298 instead of IOTA
OC-066.
If you have received credit for IOTA OC-066 for one of these past
operations, you will lose that credit.  You will need to find another
QSO with IOTA OC-066 to submit for IOTA credit.

With the help of DX spots and DL6KVA, I have identified the following
past operations from Tatakoto Atoll.  The information on the IOTA
World web site does not include dates but does include callsigns:


https://www.iota-world.org/islands-on-the-air/iota-groups-islands/grou
p/1175.html

The next country file will have the following callsigns associated
with the new IOTA (they are listed chronologically):

FO0CLA   2000-04-20,2000-05-23
FO0CLA   2000-06-27,2000-08-01
FO5RH2004-07-20,2004-07-21
FO5RH2005-09-18,2005-09-27
FO5RH2008-05-14,
TX5TES   2010-07-11,2010-07-25
FO8AA/P  2015-03-01,2015-04-07
TX0T 2020-10-30,2020-11-05

Note that FO0CLA (who later became FO5RH) operated from many other
islands in French Polynesia starting in mid-1999, so the start and end
dates are important.  I have done my best to determine the correct
dates.  There may have been other operations from Tatakoto, other than
the dates given above.  If you have a QSL from such an operation,
please let me know and I will make the necessary changes to the
country file.

When the next country file is released later this week, you can use
Multiple QSO Operations | Check IOTA to determine which QSOs you may
need to change.

Re: [Dx4win] IOTAs and DX4WIN

[Alan Zack]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your interest in logging the IOTA's. I got big into IOTA
once I got 5BDXCC and needed a new challenge. Plus I have actually
been to many of the IOTA's. If there was a LORAN station on an IOTA,
USA manned or foreign manned, I have probably been there on USCG C-130
flights.
One thing I don't understand with IOTA and DX4WIN. In the AWARDS area
(lower section of full main window) how does the IOTA awards box
become populated? Is that something you do manually? But I notice form
time to time I will see a C or S in that box. I wonder how it got
there? Is it from when I do a LoTW upload and one of my confirmations
is an IOTA? I do use REPORTS> IOTA to track my IOTA's (worked, QSL
mailed, confirmed). Is that where the awards box gets its inputs?

Subject: [Dx4win] IOTAs and DX4WIN

Hi Folks,

There may be confusion as to how IOTAs (Islands on the Air) work in
DX4WIN, how they get updated, etc.  I would like to try to explain how
this works.  I started to write an application note for IOTA, but
never really finished it, nor did I make it visible on the web site (I
guess I'll do that).

http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/iota.html

I'll just hit some of the high points below.


The IOTA field in your logbook works like the State and Grid fields --
it is stored with the QSO record, and does NOT change when a new
country file is released.

When logging a QSO, DX4WIN may automatically fill in the IOTA field if
it can uniquely determine the IOTA from the callsign and date, based
on information contained in the country file.  Some DXCC entities like
Barbados, 8P have a single IOTA (NA-021).  Some IOTA are determined by
prefix, for example, IG9 is AF-019 and IH9 is AF-018.  And there are
thousands of callsigns in the country file that are mapped to a
particular IOTA, for example CE7KF is IOTA SA-018.  DX4WIN will also
attempt to assign IOTA when importing QSOs.

 In DX4WIN 9.01 and later, there is a Multiple QSOs operation for
checking the IOTA fields in your log:

QSO | Multiple QSOs operations | Check IOTAs.

This does the following four things:

1.  If the IOTA field is empty, and the IOTA can be determined from
both the callsign and date (i.e. via the country file), then an IOTA
is assigned to that QSO.

2.  If the IOTA field is not empty, is the IOTA correct based on the
callsign and date, given the information in the country file?  In
other words, if the IOTA field was blank, would DX4WIN have filled it
in with the same IOTA as you chose?  If they do not match, DX4WIN will
do the following two things:

a.  Put the "correct" IOTA into the IOTA field in the logbook.

b.  Add some information to the "Notes for this QSO field":
"IOTAMSG: Bad IOTA=OC130"
In this case, OC130 was what your log had *before* running
Check IOTAs.

I wrote "correct" because the country file can (and probably does)
have errors.  If you think that DX4WIN made an incorrect substitution,
and you have the QSO confirmed, please send me the information from
the QSL card (IOTA and Island Name) as well as the callsign and date,
and I'll look into it.

3.  If the IOTA Island field is empty, DX4WIN will populate that field
in the logbook if the IOTA group has only one island.  Some examples
of this are Barbados, 8P (IOTA NA021) and Luzon Island, DU4 (IOTA
OC042).

4.  If the IOTA Island field is not empty, check that it is a valid
island for the given IOTA group.  If the island if not valid, you will
get an error message like this:

IOTAMSG: Bad Island=6312

The number above refers to the numerical code provided by the IOTA
committee to represent the island name in the IOTA group.  It is
unusual for this to happen, but not unheard of.  I had a number of
such errors in my logbook from QSOs which had the wrong prefix/country
assigned to them at one point in time, but subsequently changed based
on new information in the country file.

There is also a Multiple QSOs Operation to remove all the IOTA error
messages from your log, once you have resolved all the problems.

So in summary:

1.  DX4WIN assigns the IOTA field automatically if it can do so.
2.  Subsequent releases of the country file will not change the IOTA
field in any QSO.
3.  There is a Multiple QSOs Operation to check the IOTA fields in
your log.

Please reply to me directly or the reflector if there are any
questions about this.

Re: [Dx4win] Merging/changing groups

[Alan Zack]

In my DX4WIN scheme I have two logs:
1. Stateside K6ACZ/K7ACZ
2. Portable DU. (all my ops from the Philippines)

I do this because you cannot combine your DX and home ops for the
various awards. If they were all in one log it would be hard to track
what country/zone/IOTA, etc you need for an award. I have 5BDXC for
the stateside call but only DXCC for /DU.

In the two separate logs I use a different GROUP number for each
contest.

More simple than your situation but there maybe some out there that
are unaware that you can actually have two separate logs in one
program under separate call.dxl.files.

Over the years, I've operated from many QTH's and with a variety of

As a result, I have over 150 Groups in DX4Win for my US callsigns, all
based on activities, specifically contests.

I'd like to consolidate the US QSOs to create two levels of groups,
the top level one with callsign and QTH, the next level with activity
(in this case, contest name).

Can I do this? If so, how?

Re: [Dx4win] LoTW

Ref: POB 88.

When I was stationed at Kodiak Alaska there were times we would interact (to 
put it nicely) with Russian Bear bombers near Adak and Attu with our USCG 
C-130's. My mail came thru the Coast Guard mail room. One day I was called into 
the C.O.'s office where our base security officer was holding a letter from POB 
88 and had me open it in front of them. They knew I was a Ham and I had to do 
some explaining why a Russian Ham was sending me his QSL card. I could have 
lost my Top Secret clearance.

I concur. DX4WIN lost my Country file once and would not open
correctly. I have DX4WIN on two computer, a laptop for when I travel
and the main home PC. I went to the laptop and copied the country file
from it to a thumb drive, then copied this country file to the main PC
and all was well. I then went to HELP> Check for updates and updated

Re: [Dx4win] How do I reset the label flag on 1600 QSOs

[Alan Zack]

I just want to throw in that if you discovered the mistake before you saved the 
log you can exit without saving and the Y will be gone when you reopen DX4WIN. 
In other words the log will reopen to how it was before you made the changes 
but did not save the changes. A warning will come up when you attempt to exit 
telling you the log has been modified and do you want to save the changes. You 
would click NO and the log is saved to as it was before you made the change. In 
your situation you would need to import the N1MM contest log again without 
having it set the labels to Y. But that might be easier than setting dates, etc.

When I import a contest log or do other stuff to my log like LoTW stuff I 
always go to FILE>SAVE AS and right click my dxl file and send it to a USB 
thumb drive. Then if I mess up my contest import I can always go back to where 
I was before by reloading my saved .dxl file rather than using the new modified 
.dxl file that I made a mistake to.

First of all you need to select these QSOs. I assume that these are between 2 
dates.

So go to file>preferences>QSO and be sure  that in QSO Date you have "Range". 
This allows you to select QSOs between 2 dates. Save and exit

Then press F8 and write the 1st date. Enter and write the 2nd date

Now you have selected the QSOs you want to clear label flags.

Go to QSO window QSLs>Clear QSL Label flag

You will have been asked if you want the filter, you need to say yes.

That's it

Re: [Dx4win] ADIF file

[Alan Zack]

Like you guys, I do a monthly (or after a contest) upload to LoTW,
QRZ.COM, ClubLog, and eQSL. All goes well. I am not a real eQSL user
but do my uploads for those who may desire my NV cfm thru eQSL.

After reading this I decided to try to download my eQSL confirmations
from the eQSL website to my DX4WIN file. All seemed to go well (I had
to convert their file to an adi file for DX4WIN to accept). But after
the download using eQSL>confirm eQSL using ADIF file the download the
eQSL cfm flag had changed to Y for every QSO in my log, even some made
just a hour ago. I knew this could not be correct so I exited from
DX4WIN without saving so the eQSL upload. I don't know what I did
wrong uploading the eQSL website adi file to DX4WIN to make the eQSL
CFM flag go to Y for each and every QSO. I am not concerned as I said
I am not a eQSL user, I was just curious of how it would work.

Hola Luc,

There is an easier way.

In the QSO Window, LoTW | Export to LoTW.  This function uses the LoTW
and Upload Date fields in the logbook to remember all the QSOs you
have already submitted to LoTW in the past, and creates a new ADIF
file containing only the NEW QSOs since the last export.  You can then
upload this same file to *both* LoTW and eQSL (and QRZ and HRDlog if
you so choose).  There is no filtering involved, as long as all your
old QSOs have already been marked as uploaded to LoTW.

This same flow applies using eQSL | Export to eQSL, but I never do
this, because the same ADIF file for LoTW can be used for eQSL.

This is an old application note, but most of it still applies:

There are slight differences between ver 9 and earlier versions but

Re: [Dx4win] Missing Contacts

[Alan Zack]

When you work with LOTW or other such stuff always check afterwards in
the SAVE AS folder that you are using the DX4WIN/SAVE folder. For my
purposes I use a separate LOTW folder to save my LOTW adif files.
Afterwards, If I am not careful my SAVE AS folder will open to my LOTW
folder and I will start saving my .dxl file into the LOTW folder
instead of the DX4WIN/SAVE folder.

You might also check your DROPBOX, if you have one. My .dxl files also
get saved in my dropbox.

Do you have more than one log or more than one DX4WIN installation?

Are you opening up the same log from multiple places (at once), i.e.
over a network?

Re: [Dx4win] Comments in logbook?

[Alan Zack]

Yes, I agree with Jim. All kinds of info can be placed in the NOTES THIS QSO 
and NOTES FOR THIS CALL. For example, today I worked NB6GC. To further 
memorialize this QSO in the NOTES THIS QSO Window I entered Op: Jeff (as this 
is a club station there could be many different ops). In the NOTES THIS CALL I 
entered: USS HORNET AMATEUR RADIO CLUB. So if was to look up this call again in 
DX4WIN I would know when I last worked it, what the call represented, and the 
op at the time.

Another example. I work the Bulgarian Saints stations (there is a new saint 
every month). Today I worked LZ734PA, The current monthly saint station. In the 
NOTES THIS QSO Window I entered Bulgarian Saints. I enter Bulgarian Saints in 
this window for every saint station worked. 108 since 2008, some multi 
bands/modes. That way I can easily find which and how many Bulgarian Saints 
Stations I have logged. In the NOTES THIS CALL I entered The name of the 
current saint for the current month. For June 2020 it is Bulgarian Saint 
Propodobni Petyr Atonski. Every month there is a new saint featured. You can go 
to http://www.lz1kcp.com/ to see who is the saint of the month. I am already on 
the Honor Roll so need more actives to keep me busy on Ham Radio so I now 
collect IOTA's, museum ships, Bulgarian Saints, and some others.

I might be missing your pointbut there aere already two fields in the QSO

remember correctly, I don't have the program loaded on this computer). So are 
you talking about some other kind of comments? I use them frequently. When I 
work someone with the same radio as me, I'll put a comment in the QSO in one of 
those fields. When I get a new radio, I add comments like "first 6 meter 
contact on new FT991A"or "he's using same microphone as me"and on and 
on, etc, etc.

So are you talking about something different? Because there are already TWO 
comment fields as the software already is. So I'm a bit confused what you are 
asking foris it something different

Check out Jim, AD1C, excellent help page:

I always follow this when I do my LOTW uploads/downloads

Jim has other excellent programs such as:
https://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/contest.html
That I always use after a contest to add contest QSO's to DX4WIN.
Remember to use a new group number to identify one contest from
another.

We do not pay Jim enough for all his software support.

Hello all.

I am attempting to upload my entire log 13K plus qsos to LOTW.  Many
were made and logged to DX4WIN before there was a LOTW.

I used the LOTW in DW4WIN to set all upload files to Y.

Then using TQSL I attempted to sign and upload all qsos to LOTW.  The
program indicates that no qsos are signed and/or uploaded.

What am I missing.

Tnx in advance

Re: [Dx4win] Lost Contacts

[Alan Zack]

This sometimes happened to me when I do an ADIF contest log input to
LOTW and then download my latest updated LOTW QSO info back into
DX4WIN. What appeared to happen is after doing the LOTW
download/inputs my latest DXL file got saved into whatever contest
folder I took the contest ADIF from to do the excellent ADIF to DX4WIN
conversion provided by Jim AD1C.

My suggestion: do a windows search for your DXL file (in my case I
search for k7acz.dxl). You may find another DXL file lurking in
another folder someplace you did not suspect.

After working with LOTW I always go to FILE>SAVE AS and check to see
what folder my saved files are going to. If I see a contest folder or
some other folder shown in the SAVE IN window instead of SAVE I change
it back to SAVE as it should be.

A personal hint of what I do: If you want to do a quick back up of you
DXL file open FILE>SAVE AS and find your DXL file. Right click on the
DXL file (or any other you may want to save) and select SENT TO. You
can then send a copy of the file to a thumb drive, ext HD, etc.

Another hint: When I do my LOTW upload to the ARRL website I use the
same ADIF file that DX4WIN made for LOTW and import it to ClubLog,
eQSL, and my QRZ.COM logbook. Yes, I know DX4WIN will make an input
file for eQSL but I find my way faster and easier since I already have
an ADIF file to use.

Re: [Dx4win] Disaster

[Alan Zack]

Carol

Check to see what file your log is in. 
Open SAVE AS window and look what folder your .DXL log is shown in. It should 
be in the DX4WIN/SAVE file. But sometimes when working with importing contest 
files this will get changed to something dealing with your contest files. For 
example, your SAVE AS file may open to your WRITELOG/N1MM, etc folder instead 
of DX4WIN/SAVE. This frequently happens to me when I import my contest adif 
files from ADIF2DXQ. My SAVE AS save folder gets changed to the adif2dxn 
folder. I know how and why this happens and then reset the SAVE AS to look at 
the SAVE folder. Yes I know I can save the result of my adif2dxn conversion to 
the SAVE folder but I do it my way.

You can also type (yourcall).dxl in the windows search box and see what 
locations it may be found.

HINT: Before I make changes to my log (import contest files, export to LOTW, 
etc) I place a thumb drive in my PC USB slot. Then I open the SAVE AS/SAVE 
folder. I right click on the DXL file and a drop down menu opens. I click on 
SEND TO and send a copy of the current DXL file to the thumb drive to keep it 
safe..

Carol,

Not sure how you can loose all your QSOs when importing a log. The only way to 
do this, as far as I know, is to start a new log using the same name as your 
regular log.

DX4WIN keeps various backup copies of your log; see on-line help in the section 
“files”

[Dx4win] IMPORT errors

[Alan Zack]

Using Ver 9.0.6.1230
 
This may have already been addressed but when I updated my email from
Outlook 2007 to Office 265 Outlook version my email got messed up and
I can't find the info I need.
 
I noted when I did my latest LOTW update using Jim, AD1C, excellent
instructions I got some new results I had not seen before.
 
The first one was when I placed "IMPORT" for a search in the NOTES FOR
THIS QSO field I got many many GRID SQUARE= errors but no grid square
number was shown. In the past if there was not a match the import
error would show the grid square the DX station provided to LOTW so I
could correct it in my log. But now there is no grid square shown so
what am I supposed to place in my DX4WIN GRID field?
 
Next, when I check the REVIEW QSO's NOT FOUND under the F column I now
see a new notation, the letters U and C. I have searched the help
files but could not find what the notation U or C mean in the F
column. In the past there was only an X or . (period) in this F
column. 
 
I am guessing when these changes were made Jim gave an explanation but
thanks to MS forcing me to update to 365 I can't find it
 
TIA and 73
 
Alan, K7ACZ

Re: [Dx4win] Version 9.05 available

I just updated DX4WIN on my laptop from ver 9.0.4.1176 to 9.0.5 1221.
Now I cannot open my IOTA and SAME CALL windows.
My WINDOWS drop down menu has these four selections with a check mark:
COUNTRY, IOTA, SAME CALL, WORLD MAP.
I do not see the IOTA and SAME CALL windows. The COUNTRY and WORLD
MAP, as well as all other sub windows (SUNRISE/SET, LOGBOOK, STATE,
COUNTY, ZONE, etc), open and close as normal but I cannot find the
IOTA and SAME CALL windows. The quick answer would be they are hiding
behind another window but I don't have any other windows open. Are
they hidden beyond the edges of the desktop somewhere? How do I find
them?

Several days ago I did a monthly log upload to LOTW. I use the same
ADIF file to send my log to ClubLog, my qrz.com logbook, and eQSL.
Normally I will receive a feedback email from ClubLog and qrz.com
telling me my file was accepted and added to my databases.
 
This time ClubLog did not like my RU5D/6 entry. It changed it from UT
to UA. I am using ver 9.0.6 1228 which logged RU5D/6 as UT. I changed
it to UA in my log.
I looked at my LOTW record for RU5D/6. It is not confirmed so it does
not tell me if LOTW accepted RU5D/6 as UT or UA, only that it is part
of my record.
 
Here is the report from ClubLog:  
 
Callsign: RU5D/6 Date: 2019-05-19 02:28:20   Band: 40
QSL: No
Your log claims UKRAINE. Overriding your choice and using EUROPEAN
RUSSIA.
 
If you logged RU5D/6 you may want to make this change.

Re: [Dx4win] Version 9.05 available

[Alan Zack]

I just updated to ver 9.0.5.1221. A new window, MEMBERSHIP, is now
part of the program. I have searched the DX4WIN HELP menu and your
DX4WIN websites as well as emails but cannot find an explanation of
what this window shows. Some QSO's show different letters or stays
blank.
 
Also the drop down menus (QSO, SORT, FILTER, etc) now have a different
font. Is there any way to change these fonts to make them larger of to
be bold. I am having trouble reading them.

The next version of the DX4WIN country database will really make this
useful.  I hope to have a new one in a few days.

Re: [Dx4win] Version 9.05 available, window options not working

[Alan Zack]

That fixed it! Here are the details for future reference:

I went to C:/DX4W904  note: when I did the update to 9.0.5.1221 it used the 
DX4W904 folder. It did not update the folder to DX4W905. I see no problem with 
this

I opened the SAVE folder

I found the CONFIG.DAT file and renamed it to CONFIGXX.DAT

I opened/started DX4WIN

Only the main QSO window opened (as expected)
When I opened the WINDOW drop down menu I observed none of the options had a 
check mark. As I placed check marks in front of COUNTRY, IOTA, SAME CALL, WORLD 
MAP (one at a time) the windows opened and I was able to move them to where I 
wanted to place them.

I closed DX4WIN and went back to C:/DX4W904 /SAVE and observed there is now a 
new CONFIG.DAT file. I deleted the CONFIGXX.DAT that I had renamed.

I reopened/closed DX4WIN several times and all is FB.

TU again Jim for all your help

HI Alan,

There used to be a preference "Leave all Windows in original position"
but I can't find it in 9.05.

Try this:

1.  Exit Dx4win
2.  rename SAVE\CONFIG.DAT to some other name 3.  Start DX4WIN

All your preferences will be reset, but can you now turn on the missing windows?

Is it the DX4WIN file you are looking for there?
Or is it the contest log file you try to find there?

Depending on your contest log program, you have to save an ADIF file
somewhere. That ADIF file can be imported to DX4WIN via the menu File
->
Import/export  and in the new box File -> Import (be sure that you
have
marked ADIF in the first line).

Please write again with more details.

[Dx4win] DX4WIN Support

[Alan Zack]

I just wanted to give Paul a big shout out for his very quick and
accurate fix to my DX4WIN program crash.
Yesterday afternoon I had performed some QSL functions and closed the
program. Later that evening I tried to open DX4WIN and it crashed. A
little window opened concerning the crash and asked if I wanted to
send a text stating my problem (bug report). I replied in the
affirmative, my email opened, and the text was sent. I went to bed
wondering what had caused the crash and what I will need to do to fix
it.
 
This morning when I opened my email there was a message from Paul
telling me what to check for and what to do to fix the crash. His
advice was right on, I followed his instructions and am now 100
percent back in business.
 
For you inquiring minds the crash was caused by my country.dat file in
my SAVE folder going away. (I don't know why or how). Paul told me to
look for a copy in my BACKUP folder. I found it and copied and pasted
it into my SAVE folder. WaLa, DX4WIN now opened and performed normally
and all my changes made yesterday were still in place. I did a quick
HELP>UPDATE which gave me the current country.dat file that makes me
all current.
 
Thanks for the BIG help Paul!

Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't that only work for USA Calls? If you click

If you hit F3 it brings up a Window with all that same info (IF.you
have it configured correctly to do so under Preferences>Ext Data>Online
Callsign Lookup). You have to have not only the proper URL info for
QRZbut also your password and userid for QRZ. Once you get that

info gets lost when you enter/save the QSO. The KP (known problems and

F3 againhit "update QSO" again...but THIS time, hit F10 and it will
repopulate that same info again. THIS timesaving itit will stay.

They are supposed to be working on a fix for that.

Not sure if I understand what you are requesting but I can pass on
that when I upload a contest ADIF file to DX4WIN using Jim's ADIF to
DX4WIN little program I assign it a GROUP NR. Then when I use the
DX4WIN print QSL Labels function I click on Print Group Names and the
name of the contest is printed on the bottom of the label.

Re: [Dx4win] cty list

I do NOT hit enter after typing in VERSION for the call. When you type
VERSION in the call box the QSL Mgr window will fill and show the date
of latest revision and the CTY window prefix will show the designation
that Jim used for that revision. Once you have noted these entries
simply highlight VERSION and hit delete and it goes away without
becoming part of the log

If you press enter after typing "version" in the log window, you will
log
that as a contact and will later have to go back and delete it.

If you go to preferences/qso and check Callsign update,  the desired
results
will show up in the country box and in the qsl mgr box without
pressing the
enter key.  This way you won't have to go in and delete the contact
you just
logged.  

Another plus of checking this box is that as soon as the first few of
letters of the call of someone you want to work is entered, the
country will
pop up.  You won't have to type in the whole call to see what country
it is
from.  Handy if you just want to know the origin of a call.

Hope this helps.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN.CTY country file Release #18.5 - 22 March 2018

[Alan Zack]

I would like to just interject a little note here.
Reading all the posts it seems many people are having problems with
the latest CTY files.
If you read the release notes that Jim places on his CTY release
emails it will tell you what to look for after an update.
For example I go to HELP (on the main menu) and click check for
updates. If there are updates I allow DX4WIN to install them.
I look at the release notes so I can confirm I have the latest CTY
file. To check for the latest version type VERSION in the Callsign
window and hit return. The version notes says I should see Tanzania,
5H for the country, which it does. In the QSL Mgr box it shows
22-MAR-2018, which is the date of the release. If you see these then
you know you have the latest CTY file. This update function of Ver 9.0
is so much better than the previous update methods.

Re: [Dx4win] New DOK number

[Alan Zack]

Thank you Uli,

My question came from my contact with DK200MARX, who gave me a DOK (DLD) of 
200KM, which is listed in your referenced excel .csv file.
My confusion came from the difference between regular DOK's with a LNN and the 
special DOK's with a different numbering system. The DX4WIN logger tracks only 
the LNN DOK's. I know it would be very difficult for Jim AD1C to keep up with 
the special DOK's so when I work one I add a note in my NOTES FOR THIS QSO for 
a special DOK. I only have a couple Special DOK's so there is no problem for me 
to track them separately.

Maybe you could ask more DL OPS to show their DOK number on QRZ.COM. I have 996 
unique DL calls in my log but only 106 of these show their DOK number on 
QRZ.COM. That makes it difficult to qualify for the DARC DOK Award.

Subject: Re: New DOK number

Hi YLs and OMs,

in Germany we have two kinds of DOKs

1: Standard DOK which have always one letter an two numbers. The format is LNN. 
The letter stands for the district and the numbers run from 01 to (thoretical) 
99.

2nd: Special DOKs which are divided in several subgroups:

2.1: personal SDOKs for

2.1.1: our mebers of the board; they have VO

these SDOKs are temporary unlimited till the owner leaves the board, then the 
SDOK ends

2.1.2: the chairmen of any district (and his deupties); they have DVx, where x 
means the letter of the district (see also 1.)

these SDOKs are temporary unlimited till the owner leaves the position, then 
the SDOK ends

2.2: Special DOKs for Special Event Stations

these DOKs are only valid for so called club stations, which have to be 
registrated at DARC members database

2.2.1: time unlimited DOKSs for SES

they are used for several special groups inside DARC, for examples for YLs or 
YLs of an district, other, temporary independend activity groups

2.2.2: time limited DOKSs for SES

they are limited between two weeks and one year. They are used for examples for 
Fairs, Aniversaries of Cities, Clubs, Districts, VIPs and so on


In general, since 29.04.2012 the length of SDOKs is limited to six characters 
and/or numbers (german special characters are allowed, but till now only used 
one time). Older SDOKs have been long (and sometimes very complicated). At the 
moment I have knowledge from a 11 characters long SDOK, but I'm not shure, that 
this is the longest


The lists of SDOKs will be updated once per month at the end of the old or 
beginning of the new month. There is an CSV file, containing all SDOKs ever. 
The URL is https://www.darc.de/fileadmin/filemounts/gs/SDOK/SDOK_List.csv

Access should be possible without login into DARC's website.


I hope I could inform you a little bit about the structure of german special 
DOK.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN crash, Missing IOTA Window

[Alan Zack]

Thank you Kostas, that fixed it. 

There were already some number settings there that I assumed sent the window 
into outer space. I replaced them with 0 (zeros) as you instructed. When I 
opened DX4WIN my IOTA window was in the upper left corner (the result of the 
zero settings). I was able to click and move it where I want it and all is FB.

I will definitely keep your email in my DX4WIN info folder in case it ever 
happens to another window. I did search the help files and opened the DOC: User 
Manual but could not find this info. 

Yours was the only response to my request. I could not figure this one out on 
my own but now I understand the process on how the windows remember where they 
are supposed to be positioned.

BTW you are in my log in 2005 and again 2010, and maybe as an OP from EP6T in 
2015

Backup everything in case something goes bad.

Go to window>iota. I suppose it is checked. Click on it and press 
Alt+F4. This will close it.

Close dx4win

In dx4win>save directory find config.txt

Open it with notepad and search for [W-IOTA]

You will see something like this below

HEIGHT=80
LEFT=0
TOP=325
WIDTH=312

but with different numbers

Write

LEFT=0

TOP=0

Save the config file, open the dx4win and go to preferences. Load the just 
saved config file and open iota window.

It should appear somewhere on the left top of the screen

Re: [Dx4win] New DOK number

[Alan Zack]

Hello Jim,

VERY VERY LOW PRIORITY!

I tried this shortly after I rcv'd ur email but no joy.
I just tried again and still no joy.
I am at DX4WIN ver 9.0.4.1176 so shud have all the latest revisions/databases.

When I run Check Custom Awards I get the following warning for DK200MARX :

AWDERR: Awd=DLD AwdV= Msg=Award value is empty|Special-DOK: 2ØØKM

My DLD list shows A01-Z94 by numbers or by name G01 Aachew to M21 Utersen. It 
doesn't show any DLD numbers with more than three digits. Since these are 
special DOK's maybe they will not be on the regular DOK listing

I found current DOK/DLD list on 
https://www.darc.de/der-club/referate/conteste/worked-all-germany-contest/en/service/districtsdoks/.
 I also did find a list at: https://www.qrzcq.com/page/doklist but it does not 
show special numbers such as 200KM. Maybe you just add special DOKs to the 
application and let the DARC checkers figure it out. I am at 97 DOK's cfm'd 
(not all my 996 DL contacts show their DOK's) so have a few to go before 
submitting my application.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Data Updater issue - IOTA

[Alan Zack]

Jim,

The new IOTA website is: https://www.iota-world.org/
I don't like it as well as the old rsgb website. I can't find stuff on
it as easily as before.
I could not find the fulllist.xml file but do not know where to look.
Maybe you will have better luck.
Just curious, where does ver 9.xx get its' IOTA listing?

I tried to send this on Monday, but it's not in the archives, so maybe
it did not go out.  Trying again.


The old RSGB IOTA site is gone.  That site was the source of the
"fulllist.xml" file that is needed for DX4WIN 8.05 and earlier.  Until
I determine if that file still exists, you may encounter errors trying
to run the Updater.

Remember, this applies to DX4WIN 8.05 and earlier.  9.01 and later
have built-in update capability through the Help menu.

Work first, worry later.  Your ability to work and log Kosovo stations
is not impacted in any way by DX4WIN.  Use paper/pencil if you have
to.

Shortly after there is an *official* announcement *from the ARRL*
regarding the DXCC status and start date, I will publish an updated
country file.  But not before then.

I fail to understand why everyone gets so wound up when these kinds of

Now , in regards to the Z60A qsos I have made,  on 160 thru 15 meters

All qsos made since the most recent beginning date All contacts show
when I do a search Z60A Using F2 I have flagged all qsos as confirmed
( LOTW )

The problem is when I do a search of DXCC using the "Reports"
button, I see the new Kosovo listed in the DXCC total.

However when I open my DXCC page to show all dxcc counters for each
country , under Kosovo I only see an X for 40 20 and 17 meters

My 160,80,30 and 15 meter qsos are not X'd !

I have checked dates , made sure the calls were typed correctly etc

I have gone into preferences and all the bands etc are checked etc

I have the program running on a second PC and it shows the same
problem.

I am stumped, any thoughts from anyone ?

[Dx4win] DX4WIN crash, Missing IOTA Window

[Alan Zack]

I have been using the new ver 9 since November last year with no
problems.
I recently connected an EXT HD to my PC via a USB connection. DX4WIN
has a provision for backing up to an EXT HD via
PREFERENCES/QSO/SECONDARY BACKUP. I clicked on this window and a list
of my files on my PC appeared. I scrolled down and clicked on my new
HD shown as F:  Before I could even save my changes DX4WIN crashed.
When I tried to open it again all I got was the little window that
will send crash data to Paul. I could never get D4W to open again. I
saved my ini file, license, and dxl files in a separate folder then
uninstalled D4W. I then installed a new fresh D4W. I seem to be back
to normal again. I used HELP/CHECK FOR UPDATES and updated to ver
9.0.4.1176.
 
Only problem is I lost my IOTA window. On my WINDOW drop down menu I
have COUNTRY, SAME CALL, IOTA, and WORLD MAP selected. I suspect my
IOTA window is open but is somehow off screen. I have moved all the
other windows around and closed them one by one but can't find where
the IOTA window is hiding. I am using a 22/23 inch screen. Any
suggestions on how to find it again?
 
And any idea why it crashed when I selected a EXT HD for my secondary
backup? It never recovered.

For the life of me I cannot get this working and either cannot find the

I have ver 8.05 on one PC and 9.0.2.1134 on another PC.
I have DOK info in my NOTES window. I have 106 DOK numbers in my NOTES in
both 8.05 and 9.02.
When I performed the run the "Check Custom Awards" function under Multiple
QSO Operation it told me CHECKING CUSTOM AWARDS FOR 106 QSO'S (correct). ARE
YOU SURE: YES. Response: No custom awards values were converted. What did I
do wrong?

I really like the new listing as it is by actual DOK numbers. In 8.05 they
were listed by name. Very hard to find the DOK number in the names listing.

[DLD]  Deutschland Diplom (German DOK)

You should find all your DOK there.  It has been so long since I changed

Re: [Dx4win] Maintenance release DX4WIN 902

[Alan Zack]

Does the CHECK FOR UPDATE update the CTY files and all other files that the
DX4WIN DATA UPDATER did in ver 8. Or do we still use DX4WIN DATA UPDATER for
new CTY files, etc.

The "Fresh Install" also has all the data file updates that I released on
October 30.  Note that you can get these through Help | Check for Update.
In other words, there is no need to do a fresh install of
9.02 *just* to get the data file updates.

Also note that you will no longer be prompted to update (download) the
Sample log, if you have deleted it.

Re: [Dx4win] Options Callsign Update

[Alan Zack]

Ref: Ver 9.0.2.1134

I have a similar situation. In ver 8 with CALLSIGN/MGR F3 window open the
logged stations call would appear in the CALLSIGN window (with auto updates
clicked on). I could hit ENTER/RETURN and qrz.com would open to the stations
info. Now hitting ENTER/RETURN has no effect. But if I hit ALT+F3 qrz.com
does open so it seems my path is correct. (The path is the same as in ver
8).

Any suggestions please?

I had hoped in the newer version you would no longer have to hit F3 to open
the callsign lookup window. I had hoped it would function as all the other
windows from the WINDOW drop down menu so you could set it to open when you
start DX4WIN as all the other windows operate.

Solution:
 
That exactly is, what Lee Hallin, N7NU, has done. He kindly offered me to use 
my downloaded .CSV file for changing IOTA award flag (Mixed) in .DXQ file. 
After importing the updated .DXQ file into my .DXL log file, there were 
confirmed 741 IOTA group numbers out of 752, I had applicated for. Remaining 11 
IOTA group numbers I have updated by hand. It took minutes only, instead of 
hours or days before. 
 
The main reason for import fault in case of remaining 11 IOTA QSOs seams to are 
callsign changings made by IOTA application process, such as IK2DUW/1 
(application) => I1/IK2DUW (accepted) ore date/time differences.
 
I'm really lucky with obtained result and THANK OM Lee so much for the effort 
he has done to help a satisfied DX4Win user. May be, his solution is applicable 
for other user and other award flags also.

 I am confused by your term: changing IOTA award flag (Mixed).
Do you mean the AWARDS flags in the main QSO window that you see by hitting F5 
until the window is fully open?
If so I don't see how that will accomplish the desired results.

Example: I worked FO/HA9RE/P on OC-131 in 2006 on 20 mtr CW. When I received 
his QSL I go to that QSO and changed the QSL status from M to Y. This changes 
the status in the IOTA sub window also from M to C. This tells me I have OC131 
confirmed by DX4WIN but not by RSGB/IOTA. So then submit my cards, IOTA Contest 
log, etc, to RSGB. I get a report back from them showing what IOTA's they have 
given me credit for. So to use my example of FO/HA9RE/P on OC-131 the RSGB 
report shows I have credit for that QSO. Then, if I desire, I must go to 
FO/HA9RE/P in my DX4WIN log and manually place a C in the IOTA Mixed column. OK 
so far. But years later I work TX5EG on OC-131 on 15 mtrs SSB. When I log TX5EG 
the award flag does not show that I have OC-131 already credited by RSGB/IOTA 
because it is a different band.

Another example, I work JA1ABC on ten different bands/modes (easy to do with JA 
contesters) and he sends me a QSL for a 20 mtr CW QSO. I submit his QSL to my 
IOTA card checker and I am given credit for IOTA AS-007 Honshu Isld. So let us 
say I place a C in the IOTA Mixed AWARDS flag box for that QSO entry. That 
shows I have that one QSO with JA1ABC confirmed for IOTA. But any other QSO’s 
with JA1ABC on a different band, past or future, will not have the IOTA Award 
flag marked as C. So setting the IOTA Award flag for one QSO is of no help to 
me. Rather I look at the IOTA sub window. There it will show what bands/modes I 
have AS-007 marked as C. This is very good info for me. It tells me if I need a 
QSL for AS-007. BUT, it does NOT tell me if I have credit with the RSGB/IOTA 
awards people. That info can only be found on their web site and on the .cvs 
file from their website.

One thing to consider is RSGB/IOTA only wants/needs one confirmed QSO for IOTA 
credit. There is no extra credit for new bands or modes. So I see no way of 
using the DX4WIN AWARDS flags to track your RSGB/IOTA credits.

A better way is to use the REPORTS> Awards=IOTA to track your IOTA's. But again 
that only shows what IOTA's you have worked (W) or have confirmed (C) in your 
DX4WIN log. I don't see any way of using the IOTA .cvs file to change the 
status from C to * to tell you that IOTA has been credited by RGSB. In my 
thinking you have to print out your My accepted all band QSOs listing from the 
RGSB/IOTA website and manually set the flags in the REPORTS> Awards=IOTA to * 
to show the IOTA is confirmed by RSGB. I don't see how your .csv file can do 
this except to use it to manually set the flag from C to *

All I do is I print out my WANTED REFERENCE NUMBERS listing from my IOTA 
account and use it as a check list like the old DUPE cheat sheets we had to use 
before computer logging to see if I need an IOTA or not.

Re: [Dx4win] [WriteLog] CTY-2702 Country Files - 14 February 2017

[Alan Zack]

Yes, the old GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT. Cannot be helped when the FCC database 
does not reflect the actual station location.

It seems KK9A holds several call signs all registered to his North Carolina 
address including WP2AA as a club call.
He placed a blurb on his WP2AA qrz.com page to the effect that all QSO's made 
with that call were from the U.S.V.I. but the FCC database reflects his N.C. 
address so of course that would indicate a CONUS U.S. station on any database.

This differs from a REAL KP2 station such as KP2XX who has an actual U.S.V.I. 
mailing address in the FCC database.

I was under the impression that you could only hold a KH6, KL7, KH2, KH3, KP2, 
etc call IF you had a mailing address to reflect that location. (That is why so 
many Filipinos and Japanese have PO Box mailing address in Guam or Saipan so 
they can hold KH2 or KH0 calls.) I thought maybe that only applies if the call 
is a 2 by 1 but my log shows many actual KP2 calls are 2 by 2 unlike KG4 calls 
when actual GITMO calls are 2 by 2 and KG4 2 by 3 calls are CONUS calls.

I worked WP2AA on four bands. I noticed that when I typed the call into the 
logger the first time it did not indicate a NEW MULT as it should had. After I 
logged it, I noticed it was logged as United States. Therefore, I edited it 
from K to KP2 each time I logged him.

Too bad KK9A did not notify Jim AD1C before the contest that he would be using 
WP2AA in the contest FROM USVI. I would think all serious contesters know Jim 
is the KING of the contest CTY databases. I suspect many folks missed this MULT 
due to the mix-up.

The FCC database has a stateside mailing address for WP2AA, so my software that 
builds the country files assumed the call was USA.  A country file release to 
fix this will be released Tuesday night, March
7 local time (after 0z March 8).

To fix WriteLog, change the country prefix of each WP2AA QSO from K to
KP2 and it will rescore the QSOs.

Re: [Dx4win] [WriteLog] CTY-2702 Country Files - 14 February 2017

[Alan Zack]

Jim and WriteLog users

I am using WriteLog ver 12.11D Nov 2016. I will upgrade to ver 12.15 (or
later) in time for the CQWWDX in the fall.

If I understand WRITELOG things correctly before each contest I start a new
contest log (example last weekend's ARRL DX SSB). Then I go to FILE>WEB
UPDATE and click on WEB UPDATE COUNTRY FILES. This places a folder
WL_CTY.ZIP in my C: PROGRAM DATA/WRITELOG folder. I go to this WL_CTY.ZIP
file and right click and select EXTRACT ALL. This then places many DAT and
BIN files into my C: PROGRAM DATA/WRITELOG folder. I go to the file
WL_CTY.DAT and open it using Notepad. I do a search for VERSION and find
VERSION= Mauritus 3B8. So I assume I have the correct CTY file in use. Am I
correct to assume this?

If so, I need to warn everyone who used WriteLog in the ARRL DX SSB last
weekend that the call WP2AA comes up as United States and NOT U.S. Virgin
Islands. I worked them on four bands and corrected my log from United States
to KP2 U.S. Virgin Islands after each contact. After the contest I went back
to the above mentioned WL_CTY.DAT file and searched for WP2AA. It shows
WP2AA as a USA entry WP2AA(5)[8].

What is strange is when I enter WP2AA into my regular logger DX4WIN it shows
up as KP2 U.S. Virgin Islands. But I have not updated my DX4WIN CTY file for
awhile so maybe the latest DX4WIN CTY file also has WP2AA mapped
incorrectly.

Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone who worked WP2AA in the ARRL
DX SSB

[Dx4win] LoTW: QSO's Not Found

[Alan Zack]

Using ver 8.05. 
 
I use the DX4WIN LoTW Export/Import feature to keep my ARRL LoTW database up
to date. Following Jim's AD1C excellent instructions I export my most recent
QSO's to LoTW named in the format LOTWmmdd_adi. Before the export I take
note of my number of QSO's currently shown on my LoTW webpage. After
exporting the file to LoTW I export the very same adi file to ClubLog, my
qrz.com logbook and eQSL. These sites do not care how I named the file and
readily accept my adif files as LOTWmmddyyy_ .adi to update my info on these
sites. For anyone not familiar with ClubLog if you export your log info to
their website and later you look up a DX call to see if you are in their log
and order a QSL via OQRS your contact info will be filled in, no need to
enter your QSO date/time/band etc info, it is inserted for you in your QSL
request.
 
OK, after exporting my most recent QSO's to the ARRL LoTW website I go back
and check the number of my QSO's now shown. If the new total matches the
number of QSO's I just exported I know my export has been processed
(sometimes this is very quick, may take several hours or even overnight). I
then use Jim's instructions to download the ARRL LoTW report to my DX4WIN. I
click the boxes INCLUDE DETAIL and STATION DETAIL. This usually works FB and
updates my LoTW CFM flags EXCEPT for the QSO's that do not have a match. I
then use the DX4WIN REVIEW QSO NOT FOUND feature and see a list of QSO's not
found and possible matches. This is where the confusion comes in. Most of
these mismatches do not make the LoTW CFM flag show a Y, but some do. I do
not understand why this is. Anyway I follow the instructions and correct the
mismatches. These are mostly because the state or counties do not match. So
I make the corrections to my log as needed to make a match. After I make the
corrections to have a match should I manually reset the LoTW CFM flag from N
to Y or will it be reset to Y when I import the next ARRL LoTW REPORT to
DX4WIN?
 
This has been a very minor inconvenience to correct the few QSO's that have
a mismatch and has been more frequent with NPOTA QSO's since these ops are
traveling all over and are at different locations for different NPOTA
contacts using the same call. For all my NPOTA contacts I made sure the
STATE, COUNTY, and GRID boxes were blank so my later LoTW REPORT would fill
in the blanks to avoid mismatches. But I still got mismatches based on
differences between STATE or COUNTY entries. I am wondering where these
STATE/COUNTY mismatches came from because my ADIF file to LoTW did not show
and STATE/COUNTY data (I double-checked). I expected my ARRL LoTW report to
fill in the blanks to avoid mismatches but it did not happen that way.
 
But my main question is should I manually reset the LoTW CFM flag from N to
Y after I correct mismatches or will DX4WIN do it upon processing my next
ARRL LoTW report?
 
And just a side note to anyone who worked AI8Z during NPOTA. AI8Z signed as
/5, /7, and /0 from various NPOTA locations and I logged him that way. This
is confirmed by his spots shown on DXSummit. But my AI8Z QSO's were not a
match with LoTW with the portable designations. I checked if AI8Z had made
uploads to LoTW with portable designations and found he did not so I made a
separate entry to LoTW for AI8Z without any portable designations and had
matches.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Data Updater re-write and feature request

[Alan Zack]

Many many moons ago there was a side instruction on how to save your current 
QSL Manager list and addresses so that the updater would not overwrite them 
(well, it does overwrite them but you had an option to save them in a separate 
file). I did save these in a separate folder in case I needed to go back to 
whom I first sent a QSL to. I am still doing that but am not sure if I am doing 
it the most efficient and quickest way.

Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Data Updater re-write and feature request

Hi Folks,

I'm considering re-writing the DX4WIN Data Updater (porting from Perl to 
C/C++).  The main reason is to reduce the program (file) size from approx 5MB 
to something under 300KB (about 6% of the original size), as well as making it 
easier to debug.  I'll be cleaning up a lot of the code, and removing some 
features that I never finished or that never worked right.  I'll change it so 
that a failed download (like
eQSL) won't stop the update process to wait for user input before it can 
continue.  Plus, I can use a free compiler to build the program.

Is anyone using any of the following features in the Updater?  If not, then I 
will not implement them in the new version.

http://dx4win.ad1c.us/updater/index.html#options

–prompt : ask before updating each file

–auto : run Updater Program without graphical interface

keep-alive functionality.  I have never thought this worked very well,
the VE7CC user program does a much better job of this.

I'm considering adding the options described at the URL above as some sort of 
configuration menu  that you can access from within the program, but that's a 
low-priority item right now.  Getting the existing functionality working again 
is most important.

Here is a screenshot of what the new Updater may look like, subject to change, 
of course.

http://dx4win.ad1c.us/new_updater.png

I may have trouble supporting Windows XP, but Windows Vista and later should be 
fine.  If this is a deal-breaker for you, let me know.

If there are new features you want, please let me know and I'll try to 
implement them.  One new feature I want to add is a "Reset" button that removes 
all the downloaded files from the UPDATE directory.  This will force the 
Updater to download all the latest files if things get out-of-sync.

Support for ARRL National Parks on the Air (NPOTA) will be left in for the time 
being, but be disabled.  The framework I created (i.e.
sub-menus for Calendar and Membership Lists) is useful for adding similar 
features.

Please do not ask me when it will be ready.

[Dx4win] Importing my LoTW Confirmations into DX4WIN error

[Alan Zack]

I have just completed my monthly DX4WIN log download to LoTW. My imports to
LoTW went FB as confirmed on the LoTW page YOUR QSO's then clicking on the
most recent QSO or most recent QSL. I also confirmed that my QSO RECORD
count increased by the number of QSO's I imported to LoTW. (92)
 
BUT, when I tried to do the Importing of my LoTW Confirmations into DX4WIN
step there is a problem.
 
I waited until I was sure the LoTW program had processed my new QSO's by the
fact my total QSO count had increased by the amount of QSO's I had imported
(92 QSO's).
 
Then on the LoTW page, I clicked on DOWNLOAD REPORT. I saved the download as
LOTWREPORT_09072016.adi in a special LOTW folder I have on the desktop for
this purpose.
 
Then I went back to DX4WIN and attempted to import the
LOTWREPORT_09072016.adi file into DX4WIN. I have done this maybe a 100 times
before without a problem. However, this time DX4WIN gives me an error
message: 
IMPORT ABORTED BECAUSE OF DUPLICATE QSO CALL=MM0PAI/P DATE 08/31/2016. 
 
I opened my LOTWREPORT_09072016.adi file using NotePad and this is what I
see:

And so on for another whole bunch of entries that should have been uploaded.
MM0PAI/P was the first QSO in the list and it stopped the import with that
call.
 
I have never had this happen before. I tried deleting the
LOTWREPORT_09072016.adi and downloading a new DOWNLOAD REPORT but always the
same result. 
 
Why doesn't DX4WIN want to import my DOWNLOAD REPORT
LOTWREPORT_09072016.adi?
 
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated as I don't know where to go next.
 
The only thing different this time was that when I opened my TQSL link it
told me there was a newer version available and did I want to update. I said
yes then TQSL opened as usual.

Re: [Dx4win] Report that shows Labels to be printed?

[Alan Zack]

I always do a PRINT PREVIEW before printing labels. For one thing, it shows
me if the mailing address fits on the label properly. Sometimes I will need
to adjust the address spacing or number of lines in the QSL MGR window to
make it fit

...you can also do a 'print preview'. Choose 'print' in the QSL Label screen

Re: [Dx4win] Buckmaster question

[Alan Zack]

I use the RAC CD. It is a little tricky to set up and the links, etc, must
be set to the exact setting DX4WIN wants to see. BUCK should be similar.

My set up for the RAC looks like this:
DATA SOURCE: FLYING HORSE CDROM (from the drop down menu)
DATA DIRECTORY: C:\Program Files (x86)\Radio Amateur Callbook\ (I think this
is where you may have a problem as to where DX4WIN looks for the data)

As far as the dll set up I don't know. I use the golist. My DX4WIN is set
as:
QSL MGR SEARCH (EXE): C:\GOLIST\GOWIN.EXE
QSL MGR SEARCH (DLL): C:\GOLIST\GOWIN32.DLL

WEB QSL LOOKUP: www.qrz.com/db/
WEB QSL MGR LOOKUP: www.qrz.com/db/

Works FB for me. I only wish I did not have to use F3 to open the
CALLSIGN/MGR LOOKUP window every time I start DX4WIN. I wish it would stay
open and open automatically when you start DX4WIN as all the other windows
do.

Re: [Dx4win] another question export log to club log

[Alan Zack]

Not a direct answer to your question but something to consider.

Do you make regular uploads to LoTW?
If so, just use the same ADIF file that DX4WIN created for your upload to
LoTW.
I use Jim AD1C suggestion and name the LoTW ADIF file as to the date of the
file. Example LOTW_04012016.
I take this very same file and upload it to ClubLog, my QRZ.COM log, and
eQSL. None of these programs care that the name of the file is LOTW_xx.
They just accept the ADIF file as an up load to their programs. That way
every time I upload to LoTW I do the same to ClubLog, QRZ.COM and eQSL. Just
be sure you use the ADIF file that DX4WIN generated for you and NOT the
LOTWREPORT file you get back from LOTW

It looks like you're right-clicking on the Report window and selecting
"Write to file", but that is not the way to go about exporting your log. 
In the main window, select File -> Import/Export, the ADIF format should be
on the top of the list - select File -> Export and choose a name. 
That should do it.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN, LoTW, and the DXCC Award

[Alan Zack]

One thing to be VERY VERY careful about is when you import the file from
LOTW to DX4WIN be SURE you are using the LOTWREPORT file and not reusing the
file you sent to LOTW.
For example I follow Jim AD1C's style of naming my files. If I was to send
my latest QSO's marked LoTW=Y to ARRL today I would name my file
LOTW02282016.adi. After LoTW accepts my file I can download from LoTW my
report. I name this file LOTWREPORT02282016.adi. I want to be VERY sure I
import to DX4WIN from LOTW the file LOTWREPORT and not the original LOTW
file. If you import the LOTW file you sent to LOTW all your LOTW contacts
would incorrectly show C (cfm). You have to be careful to keep the two
separate. Sounds simple but if you get distracted or are not paying
attention it could happen.

Another reason to ALWAYS back up your call.DXL file before starting a LOTW
export/import or any other changes to the log. If you screw up you can go
back to before the mistake.

Hello Ed,

The answers to all of your questions can be found here:

DX4WIN does not communicate directly with LoTW.  You use Trusted QSL to send
your information to LoTW and AD1C's Compare DXCC to LoTW utility to take
your LoTW account and compare it to your DX4WIN log.  There are several of

Subject: [Dx4win] DX4WIN, LoTW, and the DXCC Award

I would appreciate some help to more thoroughly understand in what ways
DX4WIN (v.8.05) "communicates" with the Logbook of The World program (LoTW)
and possibly also with the DXCC desk at the ARRL.  I haven't been able to
find answers to my questions using the HELP services in DX4WIN.

The ability of DX4WIN to export my logs to LoTW and for LoTW to send a
report of successful matches back to DX4WIN is wonderful.  It is not clear
to me, though, if DX4WIN also communicates with the DXCC desk at the ARRL
with regard to paper QSL cards that have been checked, submitted, and
approved.  Does DX4WIN have this ability as well?

What about the meanings of the letters W, L, M, C, S, and the asterisk(
"*") in the DXCC Listing report?

The "W" (for station worked) seems clear enough.

The letter "L" seems to mean that I put a "Y" in the box under "Label" in
the QSO window, asking DX4WIN to mark a QSO so that a label can be printed
later.  Does the "L" mean anything else?

The DX4WIN instructions say that the letter "M" means I mailed a QSL card
for a contact I made.  What is the "trigger" in DX4WIN that causes an "M"
to appear?  Is it that I have entered a date in the "QSL Date" boxes? Not
that I have put a "Y" indicating I want to create a label?  Am I right that
the "M" has to do only with my outgoing paper QSL cards?

The DX4WIN instructions say that a "C" means a QSO has been confirmed.
Confirmed by whom?  Is this because LoTW found a match to my QSO?  Or is it
because the DXCC desk knows I have a valid paper QSL card for the QSO and
tells DX4WIN about it?  Or is it because I have received a paper QSL card
and I have entered a "Y" in the "Cnfm" box?

Does an "S" (for submitted) mean that I have exported a QSO to the LoTW
program but a match was not found at the time of export?  If the other
operator exports his or her logs to LoTW after my submission, does LoTW
remember that I am still looking for a match?  Or do I have reset the upload
flag and clear the date of the original export in order to try again for a
match?  Does the "S" also signify that I have submitted a valid paper QSL
card to the DXCC desk at ARRL?

Finally, the asterisk ("*") is said to mean that the QSO has been approved
for the award.  Approved by LoTW (because LoTW found a match)?  Approved by
the DXCC desk at ARRL (because I submitted a valid paper QSL card?)  Or does
the asterisk mean simply that a matched (or Confirmed?) QSO meets the rules
of the DXCC award program?  Does the asterisk have anything to do with paper
QSL cards that have been checked and submitted to the DXCC desk?

I look forward to some help.

Re: [Dx4win] Print to File?

[Alan Zack]

I also use 5160/8160 labels. In the PRINT QSL window there is an entry for
MISSING LABELS. So if you have already printed and used some labels on that
sheet place that number in the MISSING LABELS box. If you have a sheet of 30
labels and you have previously printed and used 8 of them just put the
number 8 in that box and the printer will skip ahead and start at label
number 9. I do that all the time and it works great. I use a HP Officejet
Pro but the printer does not matter as long as it will print sheets of
labels.

Trying to print my QSL labels to file instead of the printer. Now where in
Help did I find where the file is saved. I use 5160 style by the sheet and
unless I am printing a full sheet (30 labels) there is always a lot of
waste. My thought would be to have the QSL data in file so I can manipulate
the labels in Word so I can use partial sheets when I am only printing a few
labels.

I am getting ready to buy a Canon all-in-one LazerJet so the next step will
be to experiment with printing directly to the card.

Re: [Dx4win] Missing QSOs

[Alan Zack]

Thanks Jim,

I think I am somewhat redundant also.
When I do a SAVE (ALT+S) my DXL and CTY file goes to DX4WIN/SAVE
When I do a BACKUP (ALT+B) I don't know where my stuff goes. I should know, but 
I don't
My SECONDARY BACKUP goes to a SD card.
I have Carbonite, QUICKEN BACK UP, and my ISP has a cloud at COX.NET. These 
three run a back up on their own schedule at least once a day, one of them is 
once an hour. I have my DXL file saved on those back ups. I have to admit I 
really don't know where they go and how to retrieve them if I need to but feel 
confident if I ever need to retrieve them Carbonite, Quicken, and Cox will be 
able to help me. Carbonite also has a mirror image backup on an Ext HD.

We have iPhones and have the Apple Cloud to save and share photos etc from the 
iPhone to the Apple Cloud. My in house WiFi (password protected) interconnects 
all my PC's laptops, tablets, iPhones, printer, and home security. I think I 
have it set to save my DXL file also.

My system is not as fast or complete as yours. However, being an EE guy and not 
an IT I don't understand all the newer IT technology or programming that I 
should. I don't want to say I'm getting old (72) but the XYL teases me when we 
go to an Air Museum and the actual planes I used to fly are now static display 
museum pieces.

Things have gone a long way since my first IBM Clone in the 1980's with the 5 
1/2 inch floppy disk that you had to insert in the drive for the PC to boot up. 
Everything was DOS then and you had a mess of floopy disks to insert to run 
programs. A year or so later HD's got cheap enough I could afford to buy one. 
The memory size was very small but now I could boot up and run some programs 
from the HD without messing with the floppies. My first logging program was 
WJ20 and first contest logger was CT, both in the DOS format. Before that, I 
remember in contests hand logging onto a paper log with paper DUPE sheets 
spread across the room, one for each band. At that time, I was a test engineer 
at Rockwell Intl working with the space shuttle, MX Missile, and B1B Bomber 
avionics. From what I understand today's iPhones, etc, have more computing 
capability and power that the Space Shuttle computers. Good thing the Vulcans 
decided to share their technology with us humans.

Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Missing QSOs

DX4WIN has two save locations:

1.  The SAVE directory
2.  The Secondary Backup Directory you can specify on the QSO tab of your 
preferences

#1 should *always* be a local hard drive, preferably one connected via an IDE 
or (S)ATA interface, not a USB interface.  You want your log to be saved as 
fast as possible.  This minimizes the amount of time you need to wait between 
exiting DX4WIN and shutting down your computer.

#2 saves at the same media speed as #1.  If you use a USB flash drive, then it 
will take DX4WIN longer to write the files to the secondary save location.

I gave up on using USB flash drives for backup years ago - they are just too 
darn slow for me.  They tend to "lock up" DX4WIN the entire time the files are 
being written.  I guess that's a good thing if you are planning on shutting 
down your computer.  It's not so good if you want to quickly save your log and 
work someone else right away.

Here's what I do:

1.  I leave my computer on all the time.

2.  I never exit DX4WIN unless I have to reboot.  My log is always open, but 
saved when I am not there (see #3).

3.  I try to remember to save (ALT-S) my log every time I step away from the 
operating position.  99.44% of the time at least.

4.  My Secondary Backup Directory is actually DX4W805\SAVE2, i.e. the same 
local drive as the SAVE directory.

5.  I use SyncBackSE to synchronize my entire DX4W805 directory to a location 
on my home's local area network (my development/office computer upstairs).  
This allows me to access the log from the other computer, as well as 
synchronize changes in both directions.  I also synchronize my WriteLog 
directory the same way.

6.  I have a local Acronis backup job on the ham computer that runs every 
night, to a USB-connected hard drive (Western Digital My Desk).
Note that I only started this a week or two ago!  I have never been unable to 
recover data from a crashed ham computer, i.e. I have never lost the hard drive.

7.  I have a local Acronis backup job on the development computer that runs 
every night, to a USB-connected hard drive (Western Digital My Desk).

8.  I use Carbonite to continuously backup my development computer to the cloud.

I realize the above is almost certainly overkill, but I have never lost my log, 
only a rare QSO here or there, mostly due to writing the log from the 
development computer, and forgetting to reload it on the ham computer before 
logging a new QSO.

When I wake up in the morning, I hav

Re: [Dx4win] Missing QSOs

[Alan Zack]

A long time ago I did a SAVE AS and changed the destination from the SAVE
folder to a thumb drive as a form of backup. I made some new QSO's and saved
and closed DX4WIN and removed the thumb drive. Next time I opened DX4WIN it
told me it couldn't find my DXL file as it expected to find the thumb drive.
I opened the SAVE window/folder and selected the DXL file found there. When
DX4WIN opened I noticed my most recent QSO's were missing. Then I realized
they had been saved in the thumb drive the last time I closed DX4WIN. I
copied the more recent DXL file in the thumb drive to the SAVE file/folder
and overwrote the older DXL. When I reopened DX4WIN all was FB. So if you
save your log DXL file somewhere else other than the SAVE folder as a means
of backup you may be creating a problem next time you open DX4WIN.

>From that lesson I now do the following when I want to copy/save my DXL file
in another place for example a thumb drive.
I go to FILE and select SAVE AS (not SAVE). This opens the SAVE AS window. I
find my DXL file (or any other I want to copy/backup).
I right click the DXL file and on the drop down menu select SEND TO>. I can
then select any other drive, etc, to send the file to, in my case mostly a
thumb drive.

As another means of safely back up I use my PC SD slot. I leave a SD card in
the PC SD slot all the time except when I might transfer photos from my
camera. I went to FILE/PREFERENCE/QSO. In that window there is a small
window SECONDARY BACK UP DEVICE. In that little window I put the location of
my SD card, in my case it is named drive G: 
So now my back up info is stored on the SD card.

Just wondering if anyone finds any fault in using a SD card in this manner.
My PC SD slot is not used 99 per cent of the time. Why not put my DX4WIN
back up files on it?

There is another, more sinister possibility.  If you worked them, and didn't
expressly do a save of the new data, then MS applied updates, causing a
shutdown without saving, that can bite your log bigtime.  I've gotten so as
soon as an entry is made, I do a CTRL-S to save the log, and often a CTRL-B
to back it up also.  I've lost data from my logs a few times over the years
and that is painful.

Re: [Dx4win] AH6U QSO

[Alan Zack]

I worked AH6U in last weekends CQWWDX. The current CTY file thinks it is a
US (K) call but QRZ.COM shows it is a Maui KH6 call. It appears to be a
recent reissued call. The RAC CD says the call used to belong to an YL who
now is W7SMP who had AH6U cancelled on 5/24/15. It looks like another ham in
KH6 had it issued to him on 6/13/15. As researched on the FCC ULS link.

Rick, K1MU has the correct solution.  But it will be broken again on the

Re: [Dx4win] Error

[Alan Zack]

After going back and taking a second look I discovered the reason I could
not make any changes to my fonts, ext data, etc, was that DX4WIN had
reverted back to the REGULAR user level. I was able to change it from
REGULAR to EXPERT level and then was able to adjust back to my normal
settings. When I changed the font to where I had it and the scale factor
back to 100 the main logging window came back to the larger size I had
before so I can see it without having to have my nose to the screen.

I do not know how or why this happened but all seems well again.

Subject: RE: [Dx4win] Error

I saved this email for my info in case it ever happened to me. IT DID happen
to me today.

DX4WIN has been working FB with no problems. I have not done anything to
change its configuration. I used Jim's DATA UPDATER program about a month
ago to bring everything up to date (his latest revision).

Last night I closed DX4WIN normally and shut off the PC. This morning on
starting up the PC and opening DX4WIN normally, I had the same problem as
Wayne did below: 
In my situation, the main window opened normally but the font was different.
Normally when I open DX4WIN my Map, Same Call, Country, and IOTA sub windows
open with the program. Today they did not open. When I try to open them
using the WINDOW drop down menu I get the error message. ERROR:  An
exception has occurred.  Fixed Column Count must be less than column count.
In addition, all my saved info in the PREFERENCE window such as my address,
my user level, my font settings, ext data, etc. was gone.

So as Jim suggested below I exited DX4WIN, went to my SAVE file, found the
DX4WIN.CFG file and renamed it xDX4WIN.CFG, and opened DX4WIN again.
Now I can open the MAP, SAME CALL, COUNTRY, IOTA widows OK BUT I still do
not have the settings in my PREFERENCE window as before.
BUT my main concern is my MAIN LOGGING WIDOW has shrunk. I use a 21-inch
monitor. My main log window before was 6 1/2 in by 5 1/2 in. Now it is 5 1/4
by 4 1/4 inches. I have to lean way forward to read it. Also in the
PREFERENCE/SCREEN window, I cannot change the FONT style or size. The scale
factor is stuck at 80. I want to change it to 100 but it will not change.

In my SAVE file there is a file named DX4WIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS. When I
click on it, it opens with WORDPAD. I see all my preference data, such as my
address, fonts, ext data, etc, in this file. Why can't DX4WIN find this file
when it opens? Is that my problem?

Was some file saved in the wrong place? My PC uses WIN 8.1. Sometimes it
wants to save docs I am using to some place named ONE DRIVE. I have checked
there but there are no DX4WIN files there.

I do not know what happened. I also have DX4WIN installed on a laptop that
is still working OK. I will update my K7ACZ.DXL file and I will use it for
logging until I figure out what is wrong. Any help will be greatly
appreciated.

Re: [Dx4win] IOTA

[Alan Zack]

Hello Jim,

I remember seeing this last January and saved it hoping to be able to use
the info someday. The someday is now.

I just completed the IOTA contest last weekend and it made me think of
tracking my IOTA credits in DX4WIN. I presently have 394 IOTA's confirmed.
(They did a great job of card checking at Visalia last April). NONE of these
IOTA's show confirmed in the AWARDS section of my DX4WIN log window. I have
never tracked my IOTA's in DX4WIN other than typing in the IOTA number and
IOTA name into appropriate boxes when I log an IOTA contact. But I do
generate ADIF's files from DX4WIN to submit to IOTA.

As per your instructions below to Mike, R3BM, I went to your app notes. 

Something I don't understand that I am sure I am missing is how to enter my
IOTA data from the IOTA website into DX4WIN. I do not see any ADIF file
download to output to DX4WIN. They do provide a Excel CSV file but I don't
know how to download it into DX4WIN.

In reviewing the app note, I also decided it would be a good thing to enter
all my DXCC credits to DX4WIN. I come under the category you mentioned
under:  If you already have ARRL DXCC credits, but none of them are tracked
in DX4WIN, then start here instead I already have DXCC Award credits, but
have never tracked them in DX4WIN. What do I do? As you pointed out, I can
list all my DXCC credits from the ARRL LOTW webpage to manually update the
DX4Win log AWARDS window. One thing I learned in reading your app notes is
that I don't have to make notations for all my 42,697 QSO's in DX4WIN. If I
understand your example using EA correctly, if my DXCC records show I have
DXCC credit for EA1ABC on 20 mtrs SSB then ALL my EA 20 mtr SSB QSO's will
be flagged as CHECKED. Is that correct?  

However, I have 340 countries confirmed. That is a lot of typing and as you
stated prone to mistakes, which I am good at making.

What is the DXCC QSL Download file on the LOTW webpage? Mine has the heading
of: 
ARRL Logbook of the World DXCC QSL Card Report
Generated at 2015-07-27 23:28:21Z for K7ACZ and looks like this:

eor

And so on, and so on, and so on..for many many more
calls.
This is just for the call K7ACZ. I also have records for the call K6ACZ when
I lived in CA but my DXCC credits are combined since K6ACZ and K7ACZ are
both USA calls.

I might be making too big of a deal of this. I was afraid of trying to send
my QSO info to ClubLog and the QRZ.COM logbook and then discovered I can
just use the same ADIF file I send to LOTW to ClubLog, QRZ.COM logbook and
eQSL. So now every time I send an ADIF file from DX4WIN to LOTW I also send
it to these other entries.

Sorry for all the questions. I am an electronics person (BSEE). I can build
and fix radios, antennas, etc, BUT computers are not my forte.

Take your time (if you have time) to answer. Many questions here. I really
appreciate all your help over the years. Missed you at Visalia.

Alan, K7ACZ

Re: [Dx4win] QRZ.COM Logbook

[Alan Zack]

Thanks Jim et all,

I didn't realize it was that simple. I thought I'd have to do a conversion or 
something else. I have now UPLOADED my log to my QRZ.COM log, ClubLog, and my 
eQSL account (except I don't know how that works but I'm guessing any eQSL user 
can confirm a contact with me now.

Thanks.

I assume you mean UPLOADING their DX4WIN log to the QRZ.COM logbook.

It's very easy.  When I Export to LoTW, after I upload that ADIF file to 
LoTW, I also upload it to QRZ.COM (and ClubLog and eQSL).

[Dx4win] QRZ.COM Logbook

[Alan Zack]

Is anyone downloading their DX4WIN log to the QRZ.COM logbook? QRZ.COM seems
to have a good thing going here. It saves your log to a cloud backup
provides another way of keeping track of your contacts and when the other
station confirms the contact. How are you doing the ADIF download to the
QRZ.COM?
 
Their user guide states:
 
The QRZ Logbook, available to all QRZ registered users, is a feature that
enables users to log their on-air contacts (QSO's) with worked stations into
QRZ's Cloud Database. The advantages of QRZ's database include the ability
to access your logs from any internet connected computer, anywhere in the
world. In addition, millions of other QSO's reside in the same database
providing for easy match-up and operating award verification. Either or both
of the parties of a QSO may enter a record into the QRZ database for awards
credit. 
Records may be manually entered or imported from ADIF files. The user has
full control over what appears in its logbook and may add, delete, or edit
any unconfirmed record at will. Periodically the system will compare the
user's records with all others in the QRZ Cloud Database and automatically
indicate confirmed status when matching records agree with sender/receiver
callsigns, band, mode and date/time within a 30 minute window. Confirmed
records are automatically applied to operating awards. Lacking a
confirmation, a user may choose to forward a confirmation request to another
QRZ Logbook user.

[Dx4win] DX4WIN and QRZ.COM

[Alan Zack]

I have DX4win set up so when I have a callsign in the F3 CALLSIGN/MGR LOOKUP
window I can hit ENTER and a QRZ.COM page opens for that callsign. This has
worked FB for me for about 10 years. Lately I have been having problems (not
a DX4WIN problem) with the way this is now working, or not working.
 
I am a paid subscriber to QRZ.COM and need to sign in to use it. But when I
open QRZ.COM I cannot stay logged in for more than a few minutes. I entered
the ARRL DX SSB and was going thru my QSO's to find addresses to send my
QSL's. I would sign into qrz.com, look up 2 or 3 calls then the next look up
I had to sign back in. Sometimes I can do a max of 5 lookups, sometimes only
one, then get kicked off. I have never had this problem before. Once I
signed in I stayed signed in until I shut the PC down. I tried the QRZ.COM
trouble desk and they tell me it is an IE problem and to try a different
browser. I do have CHROME installed and can manually open QRZ.COM using
CHROME OK. In DX4WIN Preferences/Setup/Ext Data in the Callsign Lookup
selection I have www.qrz.com/db/ which takes me to the qrz.com website using
IE. How do I redirect it to www.qrz.com/db/ on CHROME?
 
Again, this is not a DX4WIN problem but just a matter of how to tell DX4WIN
where to look for a database.
 
Has anyone else been experiencing this problem?

I asked Paul about this once not long ago.  The problem is that people will
forget their log was left in contest mode, and then wonder why things are
working differently when the start the program the next time.  A prompt to
discard would be good, unless you are a rush to get (re-)started.  IMHO, if
you're using DX4WIN to log a contest, you're not running at a high enough
rate that a slow restart would matter much.

 I have a question in regard to logging a Maritime Mobile station.
 
 I am running 8.05 with Jim's (AD1C) latest update of Jan 28th.
 
 I have never worked or logged a /MM station in the past as a maritime 
 mobile station is not good for any DXCC entity so it has not 
 interested me in doing so. However, I was interested in working 
 TI9/3Z9DX/MM last night as he is heading to TI9 and that will be a new 
 one for me.
 
 Trying to log him into DX4WIN, it wants to put him in Cocos Is. and I 
 fully understand that. But being he is not there yet and enroute on 
 the ship it does not count for Cocos. I was looking to see if I could 
 Force the contact to another prefix entity but that would not solve 
 the problem either. Then I thought maybe there is a prefix listing of 
 /MM (Maritime
 Mobile) that would basically not count the contact for anything. But 
 as you guessed, not found. Is this an idea Jim could implement in his 
 next database update or is that more of a Paul update for the program 
 itself? I don't think you can leave the prefix field blank, can you?
 
 So anyway, how do you log a /MM station so it does not count for an 
 entity?
 Other than not logging it...
 
 Thanks,
 Brian - NX0X

I believe you somehow saved your .dxl log file in a different location other 
than the DX4WIN/SAVE folder. This can happen if you tell it to save the log in 
another location for back up purposes and by doing so change to .dxl file 
location. The program will go to that location until you reset it to look for 
the dxl in the save folder. This happened to me once.

When I want to do back up my dxl file I do this. Under FILE drop down to SAVE 
AS (not SAVE) and the SAVE folder window will open. Right click on your .dxl 
file. A drop down menu will open. Select SEND TO. Then send a copy of the file 
to any of the drives that will be shown on the attached window, including any 
thumb drive you might be using. I use this method to do a back up of the .dxl 
file to an external HD or a thumb drive. Doing it this way you are not changing 
where DX4WIN will look for the .dxl file when you start up the program. 

I ALWAYS do a .dxl back up to my ext HD before I make any major changes to 
DX4WIN such as updates, loading a contest ADIF/dxl file, LoTW 
downloads/uploads, etc. Then if I had a screw up I can revert to the backup 
file and start over.

Re: [Dx4win] Search external data...? QRZ.COM

[ALAN ZACK]

Luis,

 

In my setup the actual info shown in the CALLSIGN/MANAGER LOOKUP window comes 
from the RAC/Flying Horse CD data. I installed the RAC program to C:\program 
files\Radio Amateur Call Book (Actually the RAC install setup did it when I ran 
the RAC install program). In the EXT DATA setup window the very top slot has a 
drop down menu. The second item is: Flying Horse CDRom. Next to that is a slot 
to show where the Flying Horse CD info is located (C:\program files\Radio 
Amateur Call book in my case).

 

I can open the RAC window from my desktop anytime with no interaction with 
DX4WIN. But when using DX4WIN the RAC info is also available directly to the 
CALLSIGN/MANAGER LOOKUP window.

 

So what happens is the address from the RAC CD is shown in the CALLSIGN/MANAGER 
LOOKUP window. But then if I click on the callsign as I explained before the 
QRZ.COM page will open for additional info. I find that qrz.com has better more 
up to date info than the RAC.

 

I also have the GOLIST installed on my C: drive so I also get QSL info from 
C:\GOLIST\GOWIN32.DLL.

 

One more point. Right click anyplace inside the CALLSIGN/MANAGER LOOKUP window. 
A menu will open up. Be sure that there is a check (tick mark) besides 
AUTOMATIC UPDATE so the window will track the call currently in the main 
logging window. Otherwise it stays stuck on the last callsign that was entered. 
I think having AUTOMATIC UPDATE selected is the default but it won't hurt to 
check.

 

Good luck

 

Alan, K7ACZ

The callsign shown in the main logging window should now also appear in the

In the CALLSIGN/MANAGER LOOKUP window place your curser next to the callsign

The QRZ.COM page for the callsign in question should now open in a new

Re: [Dx4win] ADIF

[ALAN ZACK]

Dwayne,

I would highly recommend you go to:
http://dx4win.ad1c.us/appnotes/lotw.html
and follow Jim, AD1C's excellent instructions for downloading your DX4WIN
log entries to LOTW. If you have not done so in the past I suppose you could
download your complete log. But remember the contacts you will be converting
to an ADIF file then entering into LOTW will depend on what you have
selected in the little LoTW box on the full main window of DX4WIN. If Y then
that QSO will be added, if N then it won't.

The DXL file is your saved QSO's in the log. It is NOT used for creating the
LOTW files. If you mess up the DXL file and have not saved a copy in a safe
place then your previous log entries will be corrupted or lost and gone
forever. As a bare minimum you should go to the main FILE menu, select
PREFERENCES, open the QSO tab, and assign a safe place in the SECONDARY
BACKUP DIR box. I use an ext HD for this. But whenever I am going to perform
some function such as doing an update using Jim's
http://dx4win.ad1c.us/updater/index.html sub program, or entering a contest
ADIF file into DX4WIN, or doing a LOTW download, etc, I also save my DXL
file to a thumb drive. I save the DXL file to a thumb drive quite
frequently. It is very easy to do. Plug your thumb drive into a USB port. A
little window will open asking if you wish to look at the files on the thumb
drive. Use this window to identify the drive number your PC has assigned to
the thumb drive (D: E: M: etc), then you can close the little window. Then
in DX4WIN go to FILE and select SAVE AS. A widow will open showing your DXL
file (ve6qx.dxl). Using your mouse right click on this DXL file. Another
small window will open. Then select SENT TO: and select the thumb drive and
COPY. If you already have a DXL file on the thumb drive you can tell it to
copy and replace or copy and keep both files (the last one you previously
saved and the current one). Your DXL file is now safe on your thumb drive.
It just takes four quick clicks and after you do it a couple of times it
will just take you a second to do it.

One last thought. Once you have uploaded your ADIF file to LOTW and after it
is processed you can get your report back from LOTW showing what QSO's you
have matches with and additional info about them (state, county, zone, grid,
etc). This is under Jim's instruction: Downloading the confirmations from
ARRL. You will get a report back from LOTW with the same ID you used to
upload your ADIF file. For example, say I uploaded my latest upload file I
named LOTW_10012014.adi (This is the date of the upload). I will get back
from LOTW the report file named LOTWREPORT10012014.adi. DO NOT MIX UP THESE
TWO FILES The very first time I did the LOTW upload I accidently used my
upload file (example LOTW_10012014.adi) as the report file and uploaded it
back into DX4WIN. When I checked my log I noticed everyone of my QSO's
showed confirmed by LOTW but none of them showed the extra info (state,
county, zone, etc) I expected to see. Then I realized what I had done. I had
saved my DXL file to the thumb drive after doing the upload to LOTW. So I
replaced my now corrupted DXL file with the known good one and then uploaded
the correct LOTWREPORT10012014.adi to DX4WIN and all was well. Had I not
saved my DXL file along every step of the way I would have been in BIG
trouble. So be careful to not mix up the file you send to LOTW with the
report file that they send back to you. They will have the same name except
the report will have REPORT as part of its name and will have a later
date/time. They appear very similar and if you are not careful they can get
mixed up.

Good luck
Alan, K7ACZ

should also cut and paste the updated CTY file along with the DXL file. I
don't want to move the CFG file because the second PC uses a larger screen
and so my fonts are a little larger.

Subject: [Dx4win] Help wanted to import all my logs into new computer

Hello fellow DX4Win`ers  Greetings from Wales GW,

 

I have just purchased a new desktop PC  running Windows 7 Pro. What I would
like to do is import all my log files from the old PC  and there are a lot
from various Holiday QTH  locations. GM0ANA, GD0ANA, GD0ANA, GI0ANA,
EI/GW0ANA etc. 

 

I have a copy of the original Save file on a Pen Memory Stick.

 

What is the best way to move them into the new save file and still keep all
the individual logs so I can  still check incoming late QSL`s against these
logs.

 

Should I just cut and paste the old  file  Save on old PC  and just  paste
into the new PC  there by replacing  the existing Save file? Or is this
going to create trouble.

 

Your advice and help much appreciated.

 

Best 73 Glyn GW0ANA

Re: [Dx4win] Possible log corruption

[ALAN ZACK]

I don't know what you mean by QSO's in the previously worked window. If
you mean the OTHER QSO's window here is an explanation:

Go to FILE: PREFERENCES. Then open the QSO tab. Check what setting you have
for SEARCHING CALLSIGN. If it is anything other than EXACT then calls close
to the one in the logging window will also show.

For example, I have mine set to SUBSTREAM. So if I search for K4M when that
call was used for the Midway Isld DXpedition K4M will appear in my main
logging window but in my OTHER QSO's windows calls such as any VK4M
stations, K4MIJ, K4MM, IK4MHB, etc show up. In other words any call
containing K4M will be in my OTHER OSO's window. What you see depends on
what setting you are using for SEARCHING CALLSIGNS. I would use the left and
right pointers on the top of the main window to scroll back and forth among
all the calls the search for FW5JJ is showing you. Some might be close but
NOT the same call.

I have 7 QSO's with FW5JJ but no other calls close to him show in my OTHER
OSO's window.

Not sure why my search for a call FW5JJ shows 4 QSO's in the previously
worked window but only 2 QSO's in the logbook window.

Possible data file corruption?

In order to check, how can I download from LoTW, ALL QSO's which have been
uploaded (I upload weekly).  This will allow me to run a comparison.

I see the option to download all CONFIRMED QSO's from LoTW, but not ALL
LOGGED QSO's.

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

Since I started seeing Paul say he might work on a new version I started
thinking about features I could use:

1)Ability to email DX alerts to myself

2)Ability to sound a horn or some loud noise through the computer sound
system when a needed station appears in the cluster spots, this must be
selectable by band. This would be useful to me for 6 and 160 new countries
when I am somewhere in the house or office doing something else and a new
one shows up.

BTW, I have also downloaded all of the free trials of other programs I can
find and tested them. I found that DX4WIN is really a good program and
filling in all of the confirmed and/or checked status of 12,000+ contacts is
a very difficult thing to do.   So Paul, it you update occasionally I am
here to stay!

[Dx4win] Program shortcut

[ALAN ZACK]

Using DX4WIN ver. 8.05 with WIN 7 Home Premium 64 bit, Service Pack 1

 

I lost my DX4WIN shortcut icon. How do I get it back?

 

I had DX4WIN open and was preparing to upload my latest QSO's (mostly my
W1AW/1 VT and W1AW/2 NJ) to LoTW. I opened the TQSL/QSL program and it said
there was an update available (ver. 2.0.3) so I closed DX4WIN and downloaded
the new TQSL pgm and did the install. After I completed the 2.0.3 TQSL
install I went to reopen DX4WIN and noticed my DX4WIN shortcuts were
missing. I went to C:\DX4W805 folder, opened it and found the dx4win.exe
application start command. But instead of it having the yellow box with the
red yagi icon all it had was a white box with a window looking panel inside.
I right clicked on it and sent it to the desktop as a shortcut.

 

So how do I change this generic windows symbol to the normal DX4WIN symbol?
Inside my DX4WIN805 folder there is a DX4WIN icon but I can't figure out how
to make it change the shortcut icon. In older versions of Windows if I
remember right you could right click on an icon and change it from a list
that was saved someplace but in WIN 7 I don't see that option anymore. The
shortcut works OK but I'd like to have it show the DX4WIN icon. I have
turned off and started the PC several times but each time the bad icon comes
back.

 

Any suggestion please?

Re: [Dx4win] Label print problem

Are all the QSO's you wish to print in the same GROUP?
For example I assign each contest I enter a separate GROUP name and number.
So if I worked you in the 2014 ARRL DX CW contest and also in the 2013
CQWWDX SSB contest and wanted to send you a QSL it would print 2 separate
labels.

Hope this helps. 73,

For some reason DX4WIN will only print one call to a label. It has always

I have opened Preferences and  find the settings unchanged.  

Under Print Labels / Edit the settings are  MAX QSO's = 3

Labels across = 3Labels down = 10   Under Preview the labels all show
only one QSO per label.

I have reset everything  and no change.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN to LOTW

[ALAN ZACK]

Thanks Jim, 

After doing a more detailed search I discovered about half the errors were
due to a bad frequency in the Freq (khz) box and the other half were bad
calls. The bad calls were actually years of Armed Forces Day calls such as
WAR, AIR, NNVR, NMC, NBM, etc, etc. I log them the same as regular calls but
they don't match the normal callsign format so LOTW rejects them. No problem
there as I would guess the Armed Forces Day special stations don't use LOTW
so I will just ignore those errors.

The bad frequency errors came from a 2004 IOTA contest log when I used the
free ED5DI IOTA Contest logger program. I forgot if I used the ED5DI ADIF or
Cabrillo file to upload to DX4WIN (this was before your great ADIF to DXQ
program). What it did was to cut off the actual frequency. Example, instead
of 14250.0 it downloaded the freq as 14.250 and then after the import in the
DX4WIN Freq (khz) window it became 0.01425 and so the error. Since they were
all in one group I just scanned through each QSO and wiped out the Freq
(khz) box and left it blank. I then resubmitted those corrected only QSO's
to LOTW and this time they were accepted using just the BAND info.

Every day you learn something new!

I have now submitted 26,254 LOTW QSO's for K7ACZ with 12,394 QSL matches. I
know many DX stations don't use LOTW so I won't have a match. But what if I
messed up the time or freq and that is why there is no match? Is there an
easy way to determine if the DX did use LOTW but my QSO does not match his
info? I will continue further with your Compare DX4WIN DXCC Credit Status
with LoTW program but it does not appear to be able to help me with
mis-matched contacts.

I have another 40K or so from K6ACZ in Calif before 2003 but I know I need
another certificate for a different call. I won't worry about those older
QSO's before 2003.

Thanks for all the help!

Alan, I think that's the best you can do.  The program for signing/uploading
logs does compare the BAND against the FREQUENCY if both fields are present
in the ADIF file, and reports errors if they don't match, as you saw.  In
your case, you'll have to assume BAND field is correct.

Are these from QSOs you logged in real time, or ones you imported?  If the
QSOs were imported, and you have the original source, we can try to find out
how to fix them.

Also note that if you export your log to ADIF or DX4WIN8 format, then import
the resulting file into a new DX4WIN log, it will also help identify these
kinds of problems.

Re: [Dx4win] Can't edit a call

[ALAN ZACK]

There is a little quirk to DX4WIN that when you change a callsign you must
hit F10 or scan down the QSO tab to UPDATE QSO. Hitting ENTER or RETURN
won't save the new callsign like it will for other changes.

Like you I made mistakes in my WriteLog CQWWDX SSB log. Think I copied OK
but typed call wrong. But was surprised how many DX stations copied me
wrong. Some of the big gun DX stations have such a fast rate it's no
surprise they bust calls.

Re: [Dx4win] U.S Counties VA

[ALAN ZACK]

I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO. It is confusing because the actual
city of St. Louis is the County of St. Louis. The suburbs are St. Louis
County. At least that is how the tax structure is set up and the City
Stickers a sort of additional registration fee for city residents is set
up. If you live within the city you have to purchase and display a little
decal on your windshield. I notice the DX4WIN Mo F1 list shows MO95 for St.
Louis County (the suburbs) and MO96 for St. Louis City, (the city itself).
So St. Louis, MO, is not an independent city, it is an actual county that is
named in a confusing manner but is correctly listed by DX4WIN as a separate
county. I was born inside the city limits and my birth certificate shows St.
Louis in the county block. If I had been born in the suburbs it would say
St. Louis County.
