Steve, This doesn't answer your question, but I am wondering if you have considered making your contest station call a second group within your master log? There are several advantages if you do that. First, when you download from Lotw, it will download both calls at once. It also allows you to see contacts with stations across multiple calls. I setup N4QS as my default group and then added V31QS as group 1. I am going to Grand Cayman next year and will add that log as group 2. My users of DX4WIN manage multiple calls like this using the groups feature. Just something to consider. BTW, you can then setup group filters to view just one of the groups at a time -- very handy for running reports by group, QSLing, etc.

I want to have a log for my contest station call in DX4WIN. So I go to FILE/NEW and give the second log a new file name. Then it appears on the screen. I go to FILE/PREFERENCES and find that all my data for my original log has populated the preferences. I go to PERSONAL to accept almost everything the same except the call letters. I attempt to change my call of K7AWB to the other call and I cannot change it. I can change the rest of the address if I wanted though. How do I get around this? 73 Steve Sala K7AWB DN17es Nine Mile Falls, WA 491 ARRL approved 6-meter grids confirmed 313 ARRL approved DXCC entities confirmed ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
