The ADIF Spec *has* been expanded to include "Credit_Granted" which is
a list of awards from an enumerated list for which the QSO in question
has been granted credit.

"Credit_Granted" (and "Credit_submitted") were added to the fields list
with ADIF 2.2.3 (2009-04-14).

No.  As I wrote to someone earlier today, what does 'V' mean anyway?

[Dx4win] Importing eQSL confirmation ADIF problem

2012-12-12 Thread Dave Sharred
Hi, 

 

Just tried to update my main log (using DX4WIN v 8.05), with eQSL
confirmations. I can only see that I can download the entire confirmations
file (is 8900 QSO's).

 

When I import this (set eQSl flags); DX4WIN hangs and is not responding.

 

Am I doing something wrong ??

Re: [Dx4win] LotW Backlog continues to grow ...

2012-12-12 Thread Dave Perry, N4QS
Yes, Rick is right. You just open up TQSL Cert and make a couple of clicks
with the mouse.  Here are the instructions right out of the Lotw website: 

Requesting A Signed Certificate

Once you have a certificate for your primary callsign you may have old calls
or secondary calls which you want to upload log data to LoTW.  All
subordinate calls will have a signed certificate.  By having certificates
signed by the primary call certificate all of your QSO data will be kept in
one account.

Use this procedure for appended calls such as W1AW/m, W1AW/p, KP2/W1AW, etc

Here is what you do:
 
1.Open TQSL CERT 
2.In the menu bar select FILE - NEW CERT REQUEST 
3.Request a new certificate for your old call or secondary call.  

.DO NOT REQUEST SIGNED CERTIFICATES FOR PRIMARY CLUB CALLS.  Club calls
cannot be combined with personal accounts.  Please see the section about
club callsigns

Beginning Date
.Be sure to use the correct BEGIN when this call was issued to you.  If
you are not certain about this date then use the date of the earliest entry
in your log when you operated with this callsign.

.DO NOT use the default date of 1945-11-01.  Using the default date
could cause you to upload QSOs that do not belong to this call when you used
it.   


Ending Date
.Enter the ending date when you retired this callsign.  If you are not
certain about this date then use the date of the last entry in your log when
you operated with this callsign.

.If the call is still current then leave the end date open.

Not much to it!

Dave, N4QS

In 2012 alone, I operated portable from 29 different locations (Grid
Squares)
 in the US & Canada. It would be easy to get signed up for LOTW for each and
every one of these? Maybe I underestimate the process?

Agreed. Signing up for multiple portable operations is no big deal.

But, each non-USA station must send a copy of his/her operating license plus
a copy of a government issued ID such as drivers license, passport to this
place in Newington. If I asked my local commissar in Blockavia if I should
do this, he would probably have me locked up for being so stupid... I am
certainly not going to send copies of my drivers license / passport to a
foreign country, thru the 'mail' to get an award with the certainty my ID
will be stolen...  So,I don't think it's lazy, just common sense...
It's bad enough sending Green Stamps that never arrive...

> and the difficulty of signing up their multiple portable operations.

There is absolutely no issue of singing a portable operation once you have
the initial certificate.  It takes less than one business day unless the
operation is from a location that has specific access and licensing
requirements.  Even then, it's no more difficult than sending the same
documentation to ARRL that would be needed to be accepted for DXCC
(typically copy of license and landing permit).

Anyone who complains about the sign-up process is too lazy to send copies of
license and ID (equivalent to ham ticket and drivers
license) with a valid mailing address and wait for the password to be mailed
to the address on the ID.

In many cases the process can be short circuited by providing the
documentation in person at one of the many international conventions
ARRL/DXCC/LotW staff attend on a regular basis.
