Just be advised, LoTW confirmations do not count for the US counties award if 
your looking to apply.

Re: [Dx4win] Counties database

[BRIAN BIRD via DX4WIN]

Craig,

Correct however, from a CQ counties award standpoint, it is not considered a 
county by itself.

Carson City, NV is a independent city and therefore you can pick any county 
around Carson City for credit. 

DX4WIN is correct

[Dx4win] DX4WIN Updates

[Brian Bird via DX4WIN]

I’ve sent this reply to three other people direct but thought maybe I should 
post here for everyone and let them know what I found as this seems to be more 
than just my issue.

WA7AA showed me how to view my data base date. On a new add QSO window, type 
version in the call window and then tab. The data should show up as Niger with 
a date in the manager position. That date reflects the data base date. I did 
this and it showed 16 OCT 2019, the date of the latest update.

So now my question is how did my program get the latest update? There is only 
the one way to update version 9 and that is under help/check for updates. 
Thinking this must have been a “senior” moment on my end but several of us are 
seeing this for whatever reason. Something here has maybe changed? I cannot 
explain that and the next update that gets announced I will be looking at this 
very closely to see what happens. But for now it appears I am running the 
latest update and all is well.

Check your data base for the date. It will be very interesting in what you find 
as it sounds like a few of us are seeing this if you think your having an 
update issue.

[Dx4win] New Computer

[Brian Bird via DX4WIN]

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my old Vista machine for a new Dell Win 
10 computer. Something I should have done a few months ago... Haha... Now to 
re-learn Windows :(

My question is coming from someone who is not computer savvy and is about 
transferring my DX4WIN program to the new computer. I just want to make sure I 
understand this correctly before attempting. 

Do I download a new DX4WIN program from the website onto my new computer, then 
just transfer over the couple of data files. My log file and the license key. 
Or is there another way of doing this that is more complete? I've heard "talk" 
of making sure some programs go on a Win 10 computer in certain directories to 
run correctly? Any comments for DW4WIN...

Also once on the new computer, and get Jim's Updater program loaded, when I 
update the program files, that should bring me 100% to where I need to be to 
start using the program again on the new computer and using a registered 
program?

Then after I have the basic logging program running, I'll need to figure out 
transferring LoTW to a new computer. But first thing first...

Thanks for the replies,

Being the WAZ award is not on LoTW, could it be the difference between a paper

Re: [Dx4win] Update on Updater

[Brian Bird]

I am having the problem running under Vista. I do have the update problem every 
time I run the program. Even running the program back to back to back. So not 
sure if the hour timeframe you mention would do anything different. 

I'm away from home now (I'm a pilot for the airlines) and don't carry that 
computer with me on the road. Looking forward on what you find out. I can run 
it when I get back home this weekend to see how it works again.

 Good news:
 
 I pulled out my laptop running Windows XP which is fully up-to-date on

 Bad news:
 
 The fix I tried, which makes the program work on Windows XP, does NOT
 work on Windows 7.
 
 
 1.  If you have the update problem, were you running Windows XP or
 Windows Vista/7?
 
 2.  Does anyone running Windows XP *NOT* have the problem?  This is
 also important information.
 
 
 I know the Perl libraries have some issues with Daylight Savings Time.
 I thought I had fixed this last fall, but apparently not.  It may not
 be fully fixable without re-writing the program using a Microsoft
 compiler, which I just don't have time to do.
 
 Maybe the fix is something like if the file on the web sit differs
 *MORE* than one hour from the file on the computer, then it needs
 updating.  I hadn't thought of this as a possible solution until
 right now.  This means if I release updates, they must be more then
 one hour apart.  I think  I can live with this restriction.
 
 Thanks - Jim
