1. Very nice though not urgent. Fixing the map would be nice also. 2. Autologin would be nice. 3. Nice but not urgent. Present procedure only has to be done once a month so I don't really mind. Adding support for eQSL is more important. 4. This is important! The current program makes reconciling country file updates difficult. We should be able to verify ANY changes that affect already logged QSOs. In addition, we should be able to control the merge of a country file... for example, not allowing changes before a certain date. It worries me that if we presently update a country file which can affect Qs going back decades we are VERY dependent on Jim doing a good job... and he just might get fed up with the responsibility some day ;-) We also need better tools to identify and reconcile changes in QSL managers. 5. No opinion... I haven't had an issue here... but when flagging QSOs for print... I would like a way of printing a custom comment on a specific QSO. 6. Sure... that could be a good idea.

[Dx4win] DX4Win - Wish list
I have been reading the posts with great interest, and was 'happy' to see that the number of groups was going to be increased beyond 256 in the next update. I had been asking for that since 2005, but re-arranged my log only six months ago, believing that there was no likelihood of this change being made. Better late than never, as it will, obviously, help others. My other, very long standing, wish is that the name/address of any call should not automatically be copied to a new QSO in the 'Notes for this Call' box. The sheer number of 'old' calls' re-appearing with new owners makes this information, as it functionally stands, useless as far as accuracy is concerned for a significant, and growing, number of calls. Also, many Dxpeditions now identify the actual operator with which you had the QSO, and it would be nice if you could record this information, accurately, in the 'Notes for this Call' box. (Yes, I know you can record it in the 'Notes for this QSO' box - but that is a, poor, second best, scenario. So, a 'switch' to turn this function 'on/off' would be a good way to suit everyone.

Re: [Dx4win] DX4Win - Wish list
It isn't copied Ernie... it is a unique record that maps to the callsign... and is very useful as it stands... it should be left alone. BTW, I have the same issue as my log goes back to 1969. What Paul needs to do is add a new field for name. I'm not sure, with access to QRZ.Com and such, whether there is any need to store the address... maybe a short field for QTH might be useful. These fields perhaps should copy forward by default... but this could be overridden. This would take care of this issue or archival information. And Paul... PLEASE add a field for frequency data. D4W complicates lfe unnecessarily when exchanging data via ADIF by not supporting dedicated fields for Name/QTH/Freq. Paul, if you read this... it would require a data migration utility. The present convention seems to be name on the first line and QTH on the second line of notes.

Personally, I would rank this (simpler LoTW updates) as more important. I upload more frequently (not in small part due to chasing the Triple Play Award, and after getting it, helping out others), sometimes multiple times per day. Given that there is an API (more or less) for using LoTW and a way to call TQSL to sign the files being uploaded, it would be nice to have. Mel Martin wrote: > 3. Nice but not urgent.

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list
Hi Dick, I haven't been involved in software for quite as long as you (only since the mid-70s ... I'm a youngster), but I had a saying that I used to use along those same lines: "Fast, cheap, good: Pick two". Of course, in a situation like this, with a single developer it's tough to apply the "fast" attribute, though I suppose if Paul wanted to, he could spend a fortune, hire a fleet of programmers, and then have to pass the entire cost on to us, something that probably isn't practical. Personally, while there are a few features I'd like to see, I'd prefer to see it get done right, rather than simply fast. What I do think is great is the increase in communication from Paul, so that we know that he's listening to what folks are asking for. While I wouldn't mind getting a sneak peak at what kinds of things are in store for the next version (be it version 8, 7.3, or whatever), I also realize that it's Paul's decision and he's going to do what's best for his business.

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list
Like many of us I chase DXCC and WAZ. Something I have requested for years is the ability to view DXCC and WAZ opportunities at the same time in the DX Spots window. I find it very inconvenient to be required to toggle between DXCC/WAZ/WPX. However I've never taken the time to lay out how I think it would work. I've created a mockup to show my idea. The last column on the right is one I created to show WAZ opportunities. The colors would be the same as you have set up for DXCC. To be complete I guess there should also be a WPX column that would function the same. I would leave the DXCC/WAZ/WPX toggle as this would determine which of the three the main screen shows. The two new columns then would display the other two. http://kk6t.com/DX4win_WAZ_MockUp.jpg 73 de Terry KK6T __ 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

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list
The way I think D4W is working... that's not going to happen like that. However, it is possible to have a combined award display where the spot priority (which determines the color) is determined to be the higher of the awards you are actively chasing. That way, if you needed Zone 2 on 160M, if you see a brightly colored VE2 you can be pretty sure it's Zone 2. I don't think that would be too much work for Paul... and I suspect, given D4W's "raison d'être" is award chasing, he is going to support the new CQ awards eventually and will need some extra selections. Instead of having a selection DXCC/WAZ/WPX have checkboxes for DXCC/WAZ/WPX/CQ Field at the top of the form. If you check DXCC and WAZ... if its flagged... work it... figure out why later ;-) Terry wrote: > Like many of us I chase DXCC and WAZ.

As it is now D4Win remembers which windows you have selected to use and opens these windows every time you start the program EXCEPT the F3 window.

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list
>Like many of us I chase DXCC and WAZ. ... I'd be perfectly happy to settle for being able to get an accurate DXCC CW report without having to manually filter out all the pre-1975 QSOs in my log to do so. It's always amazed me that this simple recognition of the rules of eligibility for one of the most popular awards out there has never been a priority for a program that otherwise does a great job of tracking DXCC progress. 73...

[Dx4win] Wish list
I might as well get on the band-wagon. Someone pointed out that it should not be so difficult to provide the mode for a contact. I do a lot of mobile work and log on a voice recorder, which I manually log into DXW every few days. I REALLY would like to be able to use a "C" for CW, "P" for PSK31, "R" for RTTY and "S" for SSB and not have to sort through a myriad of other modes, used from my home station from time-to-time. I have the same problem for band, but am not sure how it could be implemented. It would help if I could roll the mouse wheel to select the correct operating band. Thanks for the continued support, Paul and gang!

Re: [Dx4win] Wish list
You can work around it, if you use the UP arrow to change the mode. The modes that you have enabled in the program are in the list FIRST, followed by the disabled modes. I realize it's not an ideal solution. I can see the downside to what you're suggesting, however. Say you try to log a QSO on a non-enabled band or mode. Now you can't log it without changing your preferences. I can see how it's easy to lose such a QSO in the panic of battle. Or you can log it with the wrong band or mode, change your prefs, then change the QSO, something else that's easy to forget to do. 73 - Jim AD1C On 3/18/2009 7:48 PM, J.F.
