[Dx4win] Multiple QSL managers for different modes on same callsign
OK, how about doing a CQWWDX from a DXpedition using a heavy duty truck battery for transmitter power and a 12 volt table light when the commercial power is off 8 to 10 hours a day, running on all 5 bands and using a paper dupe sheet for each band. THAT gets to be real fun without a PC and computer log. 73 Bob Naumann - N5NJ wrote: Actually, many of us did. I used the 5BDXCC sheets that Cuschcraft used to give out in Dayton every year. I color coded SSB qsos red, cw qsos blue, and a black dot indicated when it was confirmed. 5BDXCC all on one 11x14 sheet of paper with 3 'Flair' pens. Very low-tech. It was all done on paper - and - imagine this - much of the details were by memory! It was not uncommon for people to remember facts like who the QSL manager was for an operation - even two of them - one per mode like for this K1B operation. 73, Bob N5NJ QCWA, DXCC - Original Message - From: Barry [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Bob Naumann - N5NJ [EMAIL PROTECTED]; dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Sunday, May 05, 2002 10:33 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Multiple QSL managers for different modes on same callsign We didn't chase every band/mode combination, so we didn't need such exhaustive record keeping.

You do have to remember to alter the callsign for any SSB QSO but if you set the first SSB QSO with K1B to K1B/SSB and also make the Baker Howland Island exception for K1B/SSB in the prefix box, then set the QSL manager to RZ3AA, all subsequent QSO's with K1B/SSB will have the correct QSL manager. 73, -=Rog-K9RB=- --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML or had an attachment.

The reason they make computer logging programs is so you don't have to mess with paper logs and hand addressing envelopes.

[Dx4win] Multiple QSL managers for different modes on same callsign
The notes for QSO box never gets seen again after the QSO is entered in the log unless you go back and select that particular QSO for review! When printing QSL labels, if the QSO's aren't segregated by the manager/mode, multiple QSO's will print on the same label while they need to go to different managers! Besides, some people, like myself, rarely send any QSL's out direct to managers, but use a service, such as WF5E provides. At this point, I am in no hurry for any QSL's as they are only various band and mode fillers for me. I now have over 60,000 QSL cards over the past 41 years in my files representing #1 DXCC Honor Roll, Mixed, Phone, and CW (since 1994) but I still QSL 100%. If you are just a casual operator, paper logs and manual QSL'ing could still work fine for you. I'm sure there are many others who can also appreciate the benefits of computerized logging and accurate QSL label printing. Besides the system I described in my original message, time consuming manual QSL'ing would be the only other option of getting the right QSO's to the right manager in this particular case. 73, -=Rog-K9RB=- - Original Message - From: Shelby Summerville [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Sunday, May 05, 2002 11:08 AM Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Multiple QSL managers for different modes on same callsign Dang..have y'all become so spoiled with the automation of logging, that y'all have forgotten what was done using paper logs?
