Re: [Dx4win] Help needed!
By the way, if you used System Restore to restore your C:\ partition, and that is the partition that DX4WIN is installed on, it probably reverted the logs to the day that recovery point was generated. I only have Windows on my C:\ partition. I put everything else on a separate partition. It avoids these kinds of problems. Yesterday, I had done some work in another program, but for reasons I won't go into, I had to restore my C:\ partition from the 4 a.m. daily backup. All the work I had done that morning was preserved because it did not take place on the C:\ partition.

Re: [Dx4win] Help needed!
Hi Brad, I'm sorry about your problems. The default location for your log is in the dx4w###\SAVE directory. The files with ~ in the file extension are backups of those files (from the previous save). You should read this application note: https://ad1c.us/dx4win/appnotes/backup.html Also "save2" can be used as a "duplicate" backup location, see the QSO tab of your preferences. You should be running daily backups of your important data files. That's also mentioned in the application note.

[Dx4win] Creating a report of countries worked in a specified time period
Greetings all, I have historically kept a record of countries worked in a year. In the previous software I was using, I would track the country numbers and total them at the end of the year. Has anyone created a similar report that you would share with me? Perhaps it could be done by somehow tracking the prefixes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[Dx4win] Custom Awards - New Zealand Counties / New Zealand Regions
Hi Folks, I read some information on the ADIF reflector and I thought I would poll the custom award users here. https://groups.io/g/adifdev/message/9747 ZL2STR wrote: I have been the awards manager for the last 15 months and to be honest I have had to try trawling through the stuff I was given to see if I can answer your questions. The NZ Counties Award was withdrawn around 2018 after not being awarded for many years. Counties were changed by the government around 2000 I think. Regions award commenced on 1 January 2000. Are there any DX4WIN users who are tracking the New Zealand Counties custom award? NZC - New Zealand Counties If there are, I propose adding an end date of 31-December 2017 to be consistent with ZL2STR's comments above. QSOs made after this date will not count toward the award. It does not seem that you could apply for the award anymore, even if you wanted to. I will be adding a new Custom Award: NZR - New Zealand Regions starting 1-January 2000 per the comments above. I already have a prototype for this custom award. NOTE: There will be no conversion from the old NZ Counties award to the new NZ Regions award. If you are interested in doing this, you will have to make the changes yourself. Given that, it may be useful to leave the NZ Counties award active in DX4WIN. If I don't hear from anyone before the next Custom Award database release (more likely, the one after that), I will remove the New Zealand Counties custom award from DX4WIN. I will add New Zealand Regions award before the next Custom Award database release. I realize it has been a while since the last release: https://ad1c.us/dx4win/awards/#history 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , https://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
Re: [Dx4win] CCUser and DX4Win
Andy, it sounds like the real-time spots are arriving in a format that DX4WIN does not recognize. I'm sending you a picture of my preferences (the reflector probably won't receive it).

[Dx4win] IOTA Remote Island Operation
Hi Folks, If you track Islands on the Air (IOTA) in DX4WIN, you may want to read some additional information I just wrote regarding remote operation: https://ad1c.us/dx4win/appnotes/iota.html#Remote It is *not* meant to be a definitive description of the problem or all the possible variations. The point is to inform users how to deal with the situation in DX4WIN when and if it occurs. I hope that I have described the basics of the issue correctly, as well as the remedy. If there are errors or ambiguities, please let me know. Please post any follow-up questions to this thread on the DX4WIN reflector. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , https://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

I made a critical mistake when I released the latest Custom Award
database. I did not realize the error until I tried the POTA
conversion myself, after Help | Check for Updates. The error is in
the file that maps the old reference numbers to the new reference
numbers. There are two entries for [POTA]. The first one should have
been removed, but it was not. I would have noticed this if I had done
even a little testing with the released files.
To fix the problem, you will have to go back to your original logbook
(before the POTA award conversion). Any QSOs you made subsequent to
this will have to be added to the "fixed" logbook after the
conversion. Make sure to copy your latest logbook somewhere safe, so
you can add those QSOs later (see the end of this message).
You can take one of two approaches.
1. Wait for Paul to release the Custom Award map. You will know that
this has happened when you try Help | Check for Updates and see "Maps
old Custom Awards to New Awards" as one of the files to be updated.
2. Edit the award map yourself. First, exit DX4WIN. Next, navigate
to your SAVE directory. Using Notepad, edit the file "awdmap.txt".
Use control-F to find the first [POTA] entry in the file. It should
look like this (I am showing some lines before and after to give you
context):
[OHPO]
NewAwd=OHPOTA
[POTA]
K-(\d{4})=K-0$1
KFF-(\d{4})=K-0$1
[ROBI]
([A-Z]{2})([\d]{2}.*)$1-$2=(null)
Remove the four lines beginning with [POTA] (including the blank line)
so that it now looks like this:
[OHPO]
NewAwd=OHPOTA
[ROBI]
([A-Z]{2})([\d]{2}.*)$1-$2=(null)
Save the file. Restart DX4WIN. Then you can follow the instructions here:
http://ad1c.us/dx4win/awards/POTA.html
Finally, you should merge any new QSOs from your latest logbook into this one.
File | Import/Export
File | Merge DX4WIN log
Choose the option to Ignore Duplicate QSOs when you do this.
This will cause pain for some people. I am truly sorry.

Hi Tjerry, I apologize for not spending time on this. I have had several other projects going on simultaneously. The conversion should have been straightforward. However, problems occur when an old reference number (VE-0001, Canada) matches a new reference number (VE-0001, Venezuela).

I just need to make it a priority and get it done. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , https://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

I just tried this with my own log. If I perform an F8 search with Custom award = POTA, and don't change anything in the Custom award value field, DX4WIN finds 1960 POTA QSOs in my log. If I perform an F8 search with Custom award = POTA and '*' (asterisk) in the Custom award value field, DX4WIN finds 1927 QSOs in my log. It does not find the 33 QSOs that have POTA in the Custom award field, but no park number in the Custom award value field.

Luc EA8AM reported a problem using the new database. I think I had temporarily disabled some code while building the Parks on the Air Custom Award, and forgot to enable that code again. I'll publish an update after 00z on Tuesday, April 2. If you have already updated using the DX4WIN Data Updater, exit DX4WIN, then copy DX4WIN.AWD from your BACKUP directory to your SAVE directory.

This is a link to the release notes: > > https://ad1c.us/dx4win/awards/index.html#24.2 If you are tracking Parks on the Air (POTA), then please read the rest of this message. Otherwise, you can ignore it. As I have posted on the DX4WIN reflector more than once recently, the Parks on the Air custom award went through a major upheaval with respect to reference numbers. For example, all of the USA park numbers beginning with K- now begin with US- In this release, I have tried to maintain the original reference number system. This is an intermediate step to converting all the park reference numbers to their new numbers. The next step will be to create a path for existing DX4WIN users to convert their old park numbers to the new park numbers. Why did I do it this way: 1. I had to do this so that users of DX4WIN 8.x and earlier could continue to track the award. That version of DX4WIN does not have any built-in way to convert custom award reference numbers. So the original set of reference numbers needs to be maintained. I *strongly* recommend that anyone who is tracking the Parks on the Air custom award upgrade to DX4WIN 9.x if you have not already. 2. The software I wrote to maintain the original park reference numbers will be turned into a set of rules that the Multiple QSO operation, "Check Custom Awards" in DX4WIN 9.x will use to convert the old park numbers to the new park numbers. Any DX4WIN 9.x user who tracks the Parks on the Air custom award should perform the following step after updating the Custom Award database: QSO | Multiple QSO operations | Check Custom Awards NOTE: You should use an F8 search and select "POTA" in the "Custom award" field in your logbook. Then perform the multiple QSO operation shown above. When it asks whether to use the current filter, answer Yes. This will allow DX4WIN to check only the POTA award and leave all other custom awards untouched. If DX4WIN reports any errors, please let me know the details. I may need to tweak the rules a little in the reference number conversion. At some point in the future, probably in a month or so, I will release a custom award database with the last POTA reference numbers. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , https://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

The POTA administrators are still changing reference numbers. They are scheduled to be done on March 25. I will try to release an updated database sometime shortly thereafter. Due to the large number of changes, I might try to stage this into two pieces, to release the changes more quickly: 1. Maintain existing park reference numbers for now. Add new parks using the "old" reference number system. This has to be done for DX4WIN 8.x (and earlier) users anyway. 2. Maybe days or a week later, release the new park reference numbers for DX4WIN 9.x users. Anyone who is tracking this custom award will need to run the Multiple QSO operation, "Check Custom Awards" to update all the reference numbers in your logbook to the new reference numbers. I apologize for this taking so long. I would rather wait until the POTA administrators have finished updating all the park numbers. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , https://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] The Custom Awards database update will be delayed a bit
Hi Folks, The next Custom Award database update is going to be delayed. I started working on it Sunday evening (local time) but ran into a major problem with the Parks on the Air (POTA) award. Many of the reference numbers have changed. Instead of a DXCC prefix, they now begin with a 2-letter country code. For example: EA- => ES- VE- => CA- If you were to update your Custom Awards database with this change, most of your "Parks on the Air" custom award values would be blank (empty) because they would no longer match what is in the database. The POTA administrators did not change the reference numbers for the USA (K-) and some other countries, but many did change. I don't have a full list yet, and there is no automated way for me to do this without writing more software. I predict that any that have not changed *will* change sometime down the road, i.e. K-1 may/will turn into US-1. This will delay the release of the next Custom Awards database so that I can build a mapping table from the old reference numbers to the new reference numbers. Once the new database is available, you must run the Multiple QSO operation, "Check Custom Awards" to update all the reference numbers in your logbook. This is similar to the procedure you had to run when the USA reference numbers changed from 4 digits to 5 digits. I am hoping to have a new database sometime later this week. - Jim -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , https://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
