[Dx4win] Search for Blank Manager Field?

(It's actually buried in the help files, I think in the examples sub-section for searching from the QSO window.) Of course, you'll specify Y for label and DIRECT in the method. 73, David, K2DBK

Does anyone have updated QSL Manager and Prefix database files somewhere that roll up all the corrections and revisions that have been on this list ? Thanks Goody K3NG
[Dx4win] Country Database
Go to the K1B QSO. Change the prefix field to KH1. Baker has been KH1 for longer than DX4Win has been around. No need to change the country database. You only need to link that QSO with the Baker record. 73, N5NJ - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 9:11 PM Subject: [Dx4win] Country Database I've posted this to this list before, but haven't had any luck on getting a response. I paid for DX4WIN, version 4, but I don't seem to get anything in the way of support of the country database. Does anyone out there have a reasonably up-to-date country database file they can supply? I'm not a big gun DX'er. I just putter around and log one or two new ones every once in a while. So I don't have the interest in maintaining my own country file. Why should I? I paid for the program, and there are folks out there that are much more into computers and DX than I am! I worked K1B. It comes up as US. I tried to modify the country database, but nothing I do seems to work. Please don't bother replying with a list of detailed step-by-step instructions on how to fix my own country file for K1B. I have no interest in learning this; my file is probably out-of-date on 27 other countries and prefixes; and even if I got this one in, I'd forget how to do it by the next time I needed to do it. Maybe someone could suggest a logging program that works as well (or better than) DX4WIN, AND HAS A WEB PAGE WHERE I CAN GET DATABASE UPDATES!!! -Tony, K1KP ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
[Dx4win] Label printing problem
David, I have seen this bug with a HP1100 printer; downloading the latest driver for your printer may solve the problem. If you use the latest version already, you can try to define a label format using a custom page size of 8.5 x 11 (It was the letter size that caused the problem) Paul At 06:30 AM 5/6/02 -0500, David M. Monfried wrote: Looking to solve a small problem with DX4WIN (ver 5.03), which I just installed on a new computer in the shack. I'm an experienced DX4WIN and am totally frustrated that I cannot figure this one out! The problem is in the QSL label printing routine. I use Avery 5161 labels - two labels across each sheet, 10 down each page. Going to Labels/Print QSL Labels/Edit, I have 5161 selected. But when I select Preview, what I see on the Preview Editor is 1.5 labels across, with the page only 5 1/2 inches - rather than 8 1/2 inches - wide. That results in only 1 1/2 labels across the sheet, rather than two.It prints that way, as well. In the label editor, the paper specified is Letter, which is 8 1/2 x 11 inches, although, of course, it's grayed out a result of selecting 5161. Any ideas? Many thanks.

I've posted this to this list before, but haven't had any luck on getting a response. Maybe you have trouble getting a response because your attitude sucks. Version 4 is outdated. In any event, database maintenance is a user function and fully explained in the manual. RTFM and enter the new countries yourself. Sorry butyou owe me attitudes such as yours P*** me off. Dean --
[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.

Remember them? Why not just use the notes for this QSO box for situations such as this, and move on! Is it really necessary to have the manager printed on the label for direct QSL's? Bureau QSL's are another situation, and would require some alteration?

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.
