Re: [Dx4win] DX4WIN Digest, Vol 240, Issue 2
I want to say thanks for all the help. I finally have it figure out on how to change .DXL files to .ADI files. I needed to get that done so I could upload to LOTW and get credit for my DX contacts. I looked in the help files and tried but did not find it. Thanks to the other users who contacte me and helped out. It is nice to have friends who know how to do these things. Now to figure out how to filter DX only for the DX Marathon. Another task to figure out before December.

OK Gang. I found a pile of QSL cards, about 555 of them. All DX and they were in a drawer from a move. I noticed none of them are in my logging program. I am entering them into my log and realized they are not all entered as confirmed. I just recently learned how to open up the bottom sections of my logging and enter the cards for confirmation. It says use the F2 key to confirm and I have that key set in the preferences. When I hit the F2 key it automatically enters an "S" in all the boxes??? So my question is this. I manually enter the cards as "C" for confirmed. Is this correct? I see C-S-L and figured they are Confirmed, Sent, and LOTW? Is this correct. Also on my page 69 it says you have to hit the F10 key to save the changes. When you make the changes and hit the enter key, and save the changes does this do the same thing? And this is just a fast function key to do the same thing? Sorry for the reading but I am trying to learn more all the time. hee hee...

After proper training and receiving more light on the subject I have found that the proper way to enter the frequency is by putting in the following: Xx,xxx.xx noting that the separation is a comma on the junction between the Mhz and the Khz. So it is xx comma xxx period xx and then enter. It works.

[Dx4win] Direct label printing on QSL
I use a Color Ink Jet HP712C. I also make my own cards from a Corel program. I have for years and also make up cards for the QRP group (Knightlites) and have made most of the cards for our events. Some of the other members use another program and other printers for their cards. I have received a lot of cards lately that were printed up on Ink Jet printers that are very nice cards. The only problem is that if they get wet the ink runs. You might check for a color lazer printer and see if theat works better. I use Wasau Exact Index card stock and it makes four nice cards for each sheet. I hope this helps.

[Dx4win] Querie
I started up a separate log and use it solely for my QRP contacts so that I can easily see how many I have worked and how many I need. It is easier with the DX Cluster running on the bottom to see when a country I need comes up and it is highlighted that way. When I run it in my QRO log it just does not display. However, I now have a slight problem in that I need to figure out how to import just the most recent contacts as a group from the QRP log to the QRO log. i.e. say contacts in the QRP log from 700 to 800 and switch all the data from the one log to the other. That way I don't have to import the whole log again. I am afraid I might open a can of worms with the rest of the contacts I finally got entered in there since 1968. I am just trying to figure out how to do this easily. I am sure one or more of you know how to do this. I have read and re-read the book over and over again and I seem to have missed this part in there somewhere. Thanks for any assistance. *** JohnPaul/AB4PP NNN0UTV // A-1 OP, ARS 504, ALQRP 490, ARCI 8566, ARQRP 209, EPA 135, HIQRP 268, LIQRP 33, NJQRP 120, NEQRP 617, Knightlites, (WQ4RP), FP 724, SOC 403, FISTS 10261, SOWP 4759V, QCWA 31872, GERATOL 2242, YLISSB 8308.

[Dx4win] Error explained
OK, I just read my own message and it was vague. I was naving problems getting the Telnet to work on the packet window and got the first message from that when I tried to go on there and see the spots. Excpetion Occurred: List Index out of bounds (0). So, then when I uninstalled and reinstalled my DX4WIN 6.03 I have not been able to open the program and get it to run at all. The message: Port Driver not found. Check Appendix Files for the correct driver. And that is where I am at now. I did save my SAVE log and that is intact. I can copy it to the log when I can get it to run. But, for right now, I am stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

I was chastised at the Orlando Hamfest because of the cards being out of order. Bill Moore, ARRL DX Branch Manager, was sitting in the next chair checking another submission he said and I quote If DX4WIN does not want to follow the ARRL procedures to submit cards then we will not allow their submissions. The other ham was also using DX4WIN. He also was told to properly sort the cards. I bought the program to log my QSO's and also do the submissions. By not properly sorting the multiple QSO's on the DXCC submission list is useless. Exporting and resorting the QSO's is what I expected the program to do. On both of my DXCC submissions the card checker DID USE THE LIST. Even Bill Moore used the list. Those trying to be helpful telling me the list is not used please call the ARRL DX desk 860-594-0234 and speak to Bill yourself. The ARRL Website has a two page DXCC submission form, DXCC AWARD APPLICATION and DXCC Record Sheet. If they weren't going to use them I doubt that they would still be on the website. Both checkers said follow the list when submitting! The cards must be in this, pointing to the top paragraph of the DXCC Record Sheet, order.

[Dx4win] Sovereign Order of Malta 1A0KM
Gang, I got it figured out last night. I went to page 112 in the book, followed the directions and now have that country on my list. I either deleted it somehow, or it was not there. I have no idea why; but, it was not there. I now have it in there and appreciate all the help. By the way, I did spell it correctly as the Sovereign Order of Malta, not the Soviet I caught that early on and corrected it. Sorry for all the trouble and bandwidth.

If the driver is really old (older than the operating system you're using) there's a fair chance that you're hitting an incompatibility in the driver. Microsoft changes the driver API every OS _at_least_ and have changed the architecture of device drivers three times since Win95 rendering previous drivers something between unreliable and inoperable. I'm not (really) complaining about MS, just the way things are when you try to advance the OS. What's the model of the LaserJet, version of the driver, and version of the OS?

Fw: [Dx4win] 3B9FR needs help with PSK-31

It may have been his first time on RTTY. This morning I received an E-mail from Robert thanking me for telling him his signal was inverted. In the E-mail, he asked if I could find someone who could help him run PSK using DX4WIN. I am not familiar with DX4WIN, so I am unable to help him. Is there anyone out there that can help Robert? He has a Yahoo E-mail address. He also asked me if he would need a different cable to run PSK with his Yaesu FT-920. It appears he is running AFSK on RTTY. I can only guess that he is already set up for PSK but I'm not familiar with Yaesu radios. It's great to see Robert on RTTY. He was excited to work me last night as his first contact because he had read my Getting Started on RTTY article and was able to get MMTTY working. He started out calling CQ inverted. But when I told him he was inverted, he was quickly able to correct that.

Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am new to DX4WIN, and would like to know if there is a work around to my (admittedly) very small problem. There are a number of stations in my log that I have worked that have exactly the same callsign, although their addresses have been different. Indeed, their entity has been different. For example, 3D2XX worked from both Fiji and Rotuma. In the 'Notes for this Call' field, I typically enter the name of the station, and their basic address. In DX4WIN, I find that, the SECOND time I enter a QSO with the same call, DX4WIN updates the FIRST address. Is there a way that I can record different addresses in this field for the same call - and how? Ernie Walls VK3CEW [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Dx4win] Hello Gang!
Hello Gang! I am presently signing up to use the DX4WIN program for my logging. I am presently using another program that I am not completely satisfied with. I like the features on this one and have only one question. How hard will it be for me to change my present log database of over 12,000 entries into the DX4WIN program from AC Logger? Has anyone else changed their database from that one to the DX4WIN program?
