No No No. Because I have never submitted for a CW award, every QSO is a "new one". I let the program pick the cards for the most part. In many cases, there was more than one, often the same call with multiple bands. In that case I did a "select", concentrating on 2, 40 and 80 meters. >When you >run the award, assuming you checked the Exclude past submissions box and >also checked the Select Marked Qs box, then DXbase would select your CW Qs >but only if they are needed for the award you marked. As stated above (and in the original post below), they're all "needed" (for CW) and it isn't necessary to exclude any. >You may already have >other QSOs marked as submitted/credited in the Award field that satisfy the >criteria of some of the cards you pulled manually.

Not good enough. I'm working with the 120 QSL card limit imposed for field checking at conventions. If I was the checker, I would want a list that included only the cards I was checking, not a bunch of phone cards when I'm checking a CW award and vice versa. Of course there is the chance that I don't understand the submission method anymore. When I last submitted, you marked the numeral and suffix on a paper list of prefixes. No date, no band, no mode... One sheet for mixed another for phone.
