Re: [Dx4win] Log for "New" Callsign
Also strongly recommend the new Group # for these QSOs. Did that for a portable operation for me and helps more than once.

Fred, there's no need to make a separate log. Just do an ADIF export of your current log, filtering (F8) on the contest date(s) as well as the mode (RTTY?) and/or group number. Then you can sign just those QSOs with the NA2U/7 certificate and upload them. - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us __ 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

[Dx4win] DX4WIN Data Updater version 6.01 available for test
[ This message is a bit long, I wanted to include everything I could think of. Please read all the way through if you are interested in testing the new version. None of the web help has been updated to reflect these changes. ] Hi Folks, I'm making a test release of the new DX4WIN Data Updater available for people to try, and I'm looking for your feedback. This version is an all-graphical program (except for -auto (unattended) mode, see below). Here is a screen shot: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/updater/progress.jpg You can download the program from here: http://dx4win.ad1c.us/updater/download/dx4wupd_20130325.zip It does not come with a real Windows installer yet. Simply extract dx4wupd.exe from the ZIP file and save it in your DX4W### directory, over-writing the one that is there. It's not available as an update download at this time. You can still return to the release version when you are done testing, by downloading the ZIP file and then extracting dx4wupd.exe over-top of the test version. Or you can keep running the new one, it's up to you. When the new version is officially released, you'll be able to Update to get it. The program is suitable for people running DX4WIN 8.01 or later. I will be supporting older versions of DX4WIN (7.07 and earlier), as does the current (released) updater. See "Regarding support for older versions" way down this message for more about this. The underlying code that actually updates the data files has not changed, other than user interaction with it. The main difference is the all-graphical interface. You simply check the boxes of the files you want to update, then click the Update button. Progress is reported in the bottom part of the window. When the updates are done, there will be a pop-up window telling you how many files were changed (this is the same as before). You can/will no longer be prompted before each file is updated. If this is a problem for anyone, let me know. The second major change is that the DX Cluster nodes file changes are merged into your existing list, and should not disturb the order of your preferred nodes you keep at the top. Nodes in your list that are not in the downloaded list are removed (with exceptions, see below). Nodes in the downloaded list that are not in your list will be inserted in-order, but starting from the bottom instead of the top. For example, let's say that you normally log into W0MU, but node K1XYZ was added. Instead of inserting K1XYZ alphabetically before W1MU at the top of your list, it will be inserted somewhere in the middle of the list, where the rest of the K#xxx nodes are. This is not guaranteed to work 100% of the time, for example, if a node like 2E0QRZ was added, it might get inserted at the top. But these cases should be rare. There are two special merge cases. If the address of a node changed, then the change will be applied to your list *unless* it's the address of LOCAL; this one will never change, because you may have customized the address for your own installation. Also, you may have local/custom nodes in YOUR list that are not in the downloaded list. For example, I have one called "JJR" which is the address of the other computer on my network that is running the cluster software I want to log into. Custom nodes like this will NOT be removed during the merge (because they won't be found in the downloaded file) as long as they meet one of the following criteria: * address contains "localhost" * address begins with 192.168 * address begins with 127.0 * address begins with 10.10 (special case for AD1C) If you have a local/custom node that gets removed by the merge, let me know so I can add it to this list. Each line of the list of nodes must be in this format: NODE>(location or description),address If one of your existing nodes is not in that format (either '>' or ',' (comma) is missing), then you may/should get a pop-up message during the update/merge. That node will NOT be in the final file. One other change is that the current (released) program has a "restore" feature that allows you to recover your previous set of data files from the BACKUP directory, for example if the update messed something up. You get this by using the -restore option on the command line. Does *anyone* even use this feature? Is it worth adding a "Restore" button the the updater which would perform the same function as the -restore command-line option? The command-line option is still functional, and your previous data files are still backed up into this directory when they are updated. When you run this new version the first time, it will try to migrate the settings from your existing DX4WUPD.RC file (not command line ooptions) into a new DX4WUPD.INI file. This INI file preserves the selections/settings from run to run (like the .RC file did), but it is a binary file, so you can not edit it. You can only change its contents by altering the checkboxes and exiting the program. The
Re: [Dx4win] Info request re import log
Hi Bob, The easiest answer is to export your current log as an ADIF file and import the ADIF file into DX4WIN. However, it is depending on how you would like your logbook in DX4WIN to work. If you are working from different QTHs or if you have different callsigns you may consider using the group feature as been suggested by Kostas in another thread above. Then you can combined all calls and QTHs for statistics, DXCC and other diplomas. I suggest that you start with a small portion of your log to see how it works and if the result is satifactory. 73 de Mel - SM0MPV 8S0C - Contest Call 2013/3/5 Robert Crawford : > Greetings... > > I am considering import of Amateur Radio Log Database - WB2DND - as this > current log has started to give me troubles, like mainly no printing > abilities from any platform or requestSo... > Would appreciate any and all comments re this import to DX4WIN ... > Any references to satisfactory completion/or problems of input > Details if any re the filters needed and useage... > > Sorry for a lot of requests, but hope help is nearby, > Thanks > Bob VE1REC > __ > 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 -- 73 de Mel - SM0MPV 8S0C - Contest Call __ 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
