I print mass QSLs about once a year. One of the issues I face when approaching the task (I print using a custom label definition, directly on sheets of uncut QSLs, 4 to a page) is whether I have enough sheets pre-printed to handle the task. I reason, perhaps incorrectly, that if I do the whole thing in one flight and run out of sheets, I will be unable to mark as QSLed those I have actually printed, while cancelling the rest. Since it may take a few days to get more printed, I face the prospect of either having to leave DX4WIN paused at that point or starting over and figuring out manually where to restart.
In the past, I have usually handled this by printing 25 sheets at a time, but it would surely be nice to have the software tell me not only how many QSOs it intends to print, but also how many labels will be required, given the current label definition. I believe BV does this -- could DX4WIN be taught to do it? 73, Pete N4ZR The World HF Contest Station Database was updated 23 Feb 03. Are you current? www.pvrc.org/wcsd/wcsdsearch.htm
