Re: [Dx4win] I have 51 American states
This is a perfect example of why Jim’s ADIF to DX4WIN utility program is so important. Many US based contests include DC as a multiplier. If you import your contest log from N1MM, or many other contest loggers, into DX4WIN, and if you have worked a station giving the DC multiplier, you will have that “extra” state in your log. Whenever importing a contest log into DX4WIN, please use Jim’s conversion program: http://ad1c.us/dx4win/adif2dxq/ We all owe Jim a beer or three for all the work he has done to support DX4WIN over the years. 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT DX4WIN user since v1.10 On Tue, Jul 30, 2024 at 17:41 Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: > On Tue, Jul 30, 2024 at 10:20 AM EA3JW Jaime Vallvey wrote: > > Today I looked at the American states that I have and I see that I have 51, > > there is no way to locate the error, can someone help me? > > > > Use F8 to search your log, put "DC" in the State field.

Re: [Dx4win] FT8 Integration
Hello Wayne, The process is not, and likely will not be, automated. The easiest way I have found is to import my WSJT QSOs into dx4win after an operating session. Make a shortcut to wsjtx_log.adi in the folder where you keep your log and any import or export files. Simply select: File > Import/Export > ADIF > Import Under options for dupes, select: Imported QSO is ignored (which should be the default). Once you set up the shortcut, the entire process only takes 10 or 15 seconds. You can find your wsjtx_log.adi file in the wsjtx app data folder. 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT On Tue, Jun 18, 2024 at 14:27 Wayne Rogers wrote: > I know I'm a bit late to the party, since FT8 has been around for a number > of years. > > I couldn't find any chatter about whether or not there will be an effort to > integrate FT8 into DX4WIN.

Re: [Dx4win] Possible software glitch?
Hello Bernie, I'm not sure I understand exactly what is going on with your submission - but - if you have more than one QSO that qualifies for a band/mode/award slot, dx4win and LoTW frequently choose different QSOs. I think one of them choses the most recent and the other choses the earliest QSO. It really doesn't matter which individual QSO is marked as being credited, as long as the numbers add up. You can use AD1C's Compare DX4Win to LoTW utility to check this. https://ad1c.us/dx4win/lotw/ If you are unusually fussy and geeky (like me 😁), you can manually change which QSO is selected. In LoTW you must do it before the submission; in dx4win it can be done after the fact. I have done both.

Re: [Dx4win] New vanity call sign and log in Dx4WIN
Hello Lauren, Congrats on your new callsign. I have six different callsigns (all USA) and keep ALL of my QSOs in one log file. (I only have continental US activity) They all count the same for DXCC and WAZ. If you only have one location, they also all count the same for WAS and VUCC. If you move to a new state or grid, simply set the start date for those awards to the date you moved. It is easy to set up a selection (Filter > Selection > Date Selection) to get separate data for each callsign. --- 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Lauren Ware via DX4WIN Sent: Friday, 15 December, 2023 08:35 To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] New vanity call sign and log in Dx4WIN So this morning I got an email from the FCC that my new call sign was granted.

Re: [Dx4win] DXCC Listing (only) Worked not working?
This is the first time I remember Jim posting a question on here. Usually he is the one answering! Unfortunately, Listing Worked shows all the countries you have worked for DXCC on any band. It only displays the single band column. It works the same way for Grids, States, and Zones. I don't know if that's a bug in the program, or if this is the way Paul intends it, but it would be nice to have it show only the countries (grids, states, or zones) worked on the one selected band (or mode). The Needed Listing works properly for single bands or modes.

I agree with Tim K4TK. DX4WIN is an old school DXer's logging program and it suits my needs very well.

Hello Scott, There are a couple ways to do this: REPORTS - in the QSO window, Reports - DXCC - Listing (no deleted) This gives you a nice overall view of what is worked, sent for, confirmed, and credited. You are looking for band countries worked, so double click on any W in the matrix and your log is now filtered for all contacts with that country on that band. COUNTRY WINDOW - similar to the report matrix, but you get one band/mode combination at a time. Double click on any W in the report, and your log is now filtered for all unconfirmed QSOs with that country on that band/mode. F8 FILTER - Type F8 and select a country and band.

Re: [Dx4win] Upgrade and switch to new PC
Hello Rick, Do not try to copy the files over. Download and install v9 from the website. Version 9 no longer uses Jim's Data Updater; the update process is built in to the program.

Re: [Dx4win] I want to hide spots that are not Priority 1
Unfortunately, dx4win does not offer that level of filtering.The best we can do is to Ignore Gray and Black (priority 8 & 9) in the Packet 1 tab. It would be nice to have more filtering options. Maybe if you connected through the VE7CC program (not just to the VE7CC cluster, but the CC User program) you could program it to filter out anything you don't need. --- 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Mark Lunday Sent: Sunday, 28 May, 2023 13:05 To: DX4WIN Reflector Subject: [Dx4win] I want to hide spots that are not Priority 1 Currently, all non-Priority-1 are white font on a white background, so I don't see the text.

Re: [Dx4win] QRZ and dx4win
Hello Steve, I use the callsign Lookup (F3) feature on QRZ regularly when sending out QSL cards. Typing F3 opens up a small window with the station's name and address.

Now, export the new QSOs by using LoTW > Export to LoTW. Use this file to put in TQSL, and to upload to Clublog and any other on line place. DX4WIN keeps track of which QSOs you have exported.

Re: [Dx4win] Utility "Compare Lotw To Dx4win"
Hello Luciano, Jim's LoTW to DX4WIN program is not difficult or complicated, but you must me careful and work through all of the steps. If you have a lot of confirmations, it can take a long time. I was already on the Honor Roll when I started using dx4win, and did not have dx4win track my DXCC credits until after I had been using the program for several years. It took me three full days to get everything straightened out, but now my dx4win and LoTW records always agree.

Hello Berkin, The Cloblog Call Tester says that KP4DX was in the United States from 27 Oct 1987 until 19 May 2015. Either Clublog is wrong, or KP4DX uploaded those QSOs with the wrong Station Location and Callsign certificate. If Clublog and the dx4win database are wrong, you can easily correct your log by typing KP4 in the Prefix window and hitting to update the QSO. If KP4DX was in the United States in 2007, he would need to correct his LoTW information. 73, Mike Cizek W0VTT -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Berkin AYDOGMUS, TA3J via DX4WIN Sent: Thursday, 18 August, 2022 15:03 To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] KP4DX Dear Friends, The KP4DX callsign dated July 20, 2007 QSO accepts the ARRL LoTW records as Puerto Rico, while the DX4WIN log program recognizes it as United States of America.

Re: [Dx4win] Mode Locked in RTTY
When you use any of the "sound card modes", the Elecraft radios have no way of knowing what mode you are using. They all look the same to the radio. There are two ways to deal with this: 1. From the Menu Bar at top: Radio > Ignore Mode in real time. This unlocks the RTTY designation, but you must now enter the mode manually for every QSO. 2. My solution is to just log any FT8 or MSK144 QSOs in WSJT-X and periodically import wsjtx_log.adi into dx4win: File > Import/Export > (select ADIF) > Import. Set the option for duplicate QSOs to "Duplicate QSO is ignored". 73, Mike Cizek W0VTT -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of gw3sfc via DX4WIN Sent: Wednesday, 10 August, 2022 05:59 To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] Mode Locked in RTTY I have used dx4win for over 12 years with different Icom radio without an issue.

Re: [Dx4win] Search For QSOs with Deleted Entities
That's quite the process, but it will work. Two comments: 1 If you do "Listing Worked" instead of just "Listing", it eliminates all the blank spaces and is a little easier to read. 2. If you type "KZ5" into the Prefix box, that filter should ONLY list Canal Zone stations. Any others that appear in that search are logged improperly. (KZ5 was my first deleted country) 73, Mike Cizek W0VTT -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of LEE HALLIN Sent: Monday, 1 August, 2022 01:57 To: N5KM - Kris ; dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Search For QSOs with Deleted Entities Hi Kris, I think I have a way to find QSOs with deleted countries but it involves some work. The following involves many steps but once you do a section once, repeating it for other prefixes should be faster. Basically, you get a list of deleted DXCC countries that you have worked (Reports -> check "include deleted" -> OK). Then for each deleted country (indicated by a D in the column with "D" in the heading) that you have worked, note each "prefix". For EACH of those prefixes, do the following: 1) While on the QSO screen 2) Click Filter 3) Click "Cancel filter" 4) Hit F8 5) Hit the TAB key (or click in the Prefix box) 6) Enter a prefix you want to search for 7) Hit Enter 8) Click File 9) Click Import/Export 10) Click the highest DX4WIN format (Ex. DX4WIN8) listed 11) Click File 12) Click Export 13) Enter a file name for the .DXQ/.DXN file to be created (I used the prefix with any slashes changed to dashes -- OK/D would have filename OK-D) 14) Click SAVE 15) Click YES when it prompts with "Filter active, use it for export?" 16) For each prefix you extract, note the count of how many QSOs were exported. This will help you verify counts later -- after you make a log from all the exported files. 17) Click OK (after the export is done) 18) Click File 19) Click Exit Once you have created a export file (.DXQ/.DXN) for each of the deleted prefixes in your log: 20) Click File 21) Click NEW (create a NEW DX4WIN log file) 22) Navigate to the directory where the Export files were created 23) Specify the name of the log file that will contain all your exported data For each prefix file that you exported above, do the following: 24) Click File 25) Click Import/Export 26) Click the DX4WIN export version number that you used in step 3 above 27) Click File (on "Import / Export Filters" screen) 28) Click Import 29) Enter the export file name (Prefix?) that you used earlier 30) Click Open 31) On "Options for duplicate QSOs" screen, click OK 32) Click OK (after the import summary) 33) Click File 34) Click Exit If you have more prefixes to Import, go to step 24 Once you have Imported all your Prefix files: 35) Click File 36) Click SAVE (to save this log to disk) 37) Click File 38) Click Info In theory, the "Nr QSOs" value should equal the sum of the Imported QSOs counts in step 16 above One caveat I am aware of (might be others that my test file didn't find), I entered prefix of KZ5 which resulted in 60 QSOs. However, only ONE of the 60 QSOs actually had a prefix of KZ5 -- all the others had prefix of "K". To catch this situation, I suggest after you do an "export" of a prefix, verify that all selected QSOs have the "prefix" that you were after. Sorry this was so long. If anything doesn't make sense, contact me and I'll see what I can do to make it clearer. 73, Lee N7NU > On 07/21/2022 2:28 PM N5KM - Kris wrote: > > > Hi All, > > Is there a way to search/filter a log for QSOs with deleted entities? > I can see those QSOs in the DXCC report with Deleted selected but I'd > like to see them as part of a database query.

For VUCC, my confirmed totals in DX4WIN are about 70 less that my totals showing on LOTW. (I have very few grids confirmed via QSL card.) When I open the VUCC window, it is also apparent that confirmations for CW and SSB are not showing as C. Under Reports, Awards, VUCC tab, I have all modes selected. The same thing happens when I run a VUCC report listing - confirmations for CW and SSB on 6 meters do not show up as confirmed. For example, for EM09 in Kansas, LOTW shows that grid was confirmed with AB0S. When I look up that QSO in DX4WIN, the Confirm LOTW box is set for Y - so it is marked as confirmed in DX4WIN. But in the VUCC window, EM09 only shows a W in the CW and SSB boxes-there should be a C in the CW box. If I double click on the 6 at the top, all of my QSOs with EM09 on 6 meters are shown, and AB0S clearly shows that it was confirmed via LOTW. So why are these CW and SSB confirmations not showing up in the VUCC window and on the VUCC reports? 73, Dave David Perry, N4QS 3600 Savoy Circle Paducah, KY 42001 n...@vci.net <mailto:n...@vci.net> __ 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

Re: [Dx4win] Dx4win - Club Log - QRZ Logbook
Hello Berkin, The easiest way to do this is to always use LoTW >Export to LoTW in the QSO window. This generates a standard ADIF file that you may upload to LoTW, Clublog, QRZ, or anywhere that accepts ADIF files. Do this even if you are not using LoTW. With this method, dx4win keeps track of what QSOs have been uploaded and will only upload new QSOs each time. The process is not automatic, but with a little practice, it goes very quickly. It takes about a minute to export, upload to LoTW through TQSL, and upload to the Clublog web page. 73, Mike Cizek WØVTT > On Jul 7, 2022, at 13:31, Berkin AYDOGMUS, TA3J > wrote: > > Dear Friends, > > I am using "Dx4win" log program.

Set the Cnfm box (the first one, not the LoTW or eQSL) to Y as you enter each QSO and are entering the QSO information. Enter the QSOs simply by pressing after the information is filled in. The F2 key is for when you are receiving QSLs for QSOs that are already in you log. Do not use it, or any of the other function keys, for this. Once you get ALL of the QSOs entered, then you may decide whether or not to submit them for any awards. Let me know if you need more help or explanation.

I found a pile of QSL cards, about 555 of them. All DX and they were in a drawer from a move. I noticed none of them are in my logging program. I am entering them into my log and realized they are not all entered as confirmed. I just recently learned how to open up the bottom sections of my logging and enter the cards for confirmation. It says use the F2 key to confirm and I have that key set in the preferences. When I hit the F2 key it automatically enters an "S" in all the boxes??? So my question is this. I manually enter the cards as "C" for confirmed. Is this correct? I see C-S-L and figured they are Confirmed, Sent, and LOTW? Is this correct. Also on my page 69 it says you have to hit the F10 key to save the changes. When you make the changes and hit the enter key, and save the changes does this do the same thing?

Re: [Dx4win] DXCC Report of QSL Cards
Hello Bert, The answer to your question depends on what you have done before this: 1. have you made ANY DXCC submissions? 2. if so, have you made them through dx4win so the program knows which countries you have submitted? 3. is this your initial DXCC submission, or an endorsement? 4. have you applied any of your LoTW credits to your DXCC account? Normally, when doing a "mixed" DXCC submission (combination of paper cards and LoTW credits), you do the LoTW submission first, wait for it to be processed, then submit your paper cards. Once you do your LoTW submission, the program will know those countries have already been submitted, and will not select any of them when you do your paper QSL submission. ---- 73, Mike Cizek W0VTT -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Bert Garcia Sent: Friday, 4 March, 2022 20:36 To: DX4WIN@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] DXCC Report of QSL Cards How can I get a DXCC listing of confirmations by QSL card and *not* confirmed by LoTW?

Re: [Dx4win] Beware of an empty RST field in a QSO!
Hello Jim,
Looking at my log, all of the VHF Contest mode QSOs with no signal reports
have 599 in the report fields in dx4win. I don't see any place in the
settings for selecting a default RST, so that must be built in to the
program. I think the real question is why are your RST fields blank?

Subject: [Dx4win] Beware of an empty RST field in a QSO!
Hi Folks,
I made an interesting discovery this morning. It may be an issue in the
DX4WIN program. There are two pieces to it. Although the specific problem
I encountered was for the VUCC Award, this problem may affect other awards.
I have not tested that theory, however.
I have been chasing VUCC grids on 6 meters since moving to Colorado in 2007.
I use this program that I wrote to give me a visual representation of the
grids I still need:
https://dx4win.ad1c.us/VUCC/
My map told me that I needed grid DN80, and when N0LL announced he was going
to go there in October, I made sure to work him. I received his QSL card
yesterday. Because I have several QSOs with him, I searched my logbook for
the Grid (DN80) instead. But what I found is that I had a prior QSO with
another station in that same grid on 6 meters! Furthermore, it was
confirmed in Logbook of the World (LoTW). And finally, it had already been
checked at ARRL (VUCC grid credit received)!
So why did my VUCC Needed Listing tell me that I still needed that grid?
It turns out that the rstR (RST Received) field in my DX4WIN log for that
QSO was empty (blank). Here is part of the ADIF record from WSJT-X (
https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html) for that QSO that I
imported into DX4WIN:
AB0YM/R DN80 FT8
20200913 012315
Notice that the length of both the rst_sent and rst_rcvd fields is zero
(":0"). That means there was no RST recorded for the QSO. This QSO was
made using the digital mode FT8 in "NA VHF" mode in WSJT-X. For this
"special operating activity", only grid squares are exchanged, not signal
reports. Here is what the FT8 transcript looked like for my QSO with
AB0YM/R:
200913_21310050.313 Rx FT8-12 0.2 1376 CQ TEST AB0YM/R DN80
200913_21311550.313 Tx FT8 0 0.0 750 AB0YM/R AD1C DM79
200913_21313050.313 Rx FT8 -8 0.1 683 AD1C AB0YM/R R DN80
200913_21314550.313 Tx FT8 0 0.0 750 AB0YM/R AD1C RR73
The station answering the CQ sends his grid. The CQing station sends an R
with his grid. When the calling station receives that message, he sends
RR73. Once the CQing station receives the RR73, he can go on to the next
QSO.
So the blank RST seems to be one problem. However, there may be a second
problem.
A while back, maybe in Version 8, Paul added a feature to DX4WIN that
basically says that if the Award flag for the QSO is set to Checked (or
possibly Submitted), that the QSO is considered "confirmed" regardless of
the setting of the QSL, LoTW and/or eQSL Confirmed fields for the QSO.
Here is an example of how this feature is useful. You can receive IOTA
(Island on the Air) credit if there is QSO match in Club Log, even if you
don't have a QSL card, even if the QSO is not confirmed in LoTW. You can
submit this "confirmed" (matched) QSO from Club Log for IOTA credit. Once
you set the IOTA Award flag for that QSO, DX4WIN will consider it confirmed,
so you will know that you do not need to work or confirm it again.
One might think that this feature would take care of my VUCC problem, but
it's not enough. DX4WIN also has a feature where having a blank RST, or a
value of "0" in the RST field, means that this QSO is invalid for awards.
Apparently, having the Award flag set to Submitted or Checked is not enough
to override this, and I think this might be a bug in DX4WIN. If you have
received award credit for a QSO, then that QSO can not be invalid for the
award, regardless of the RST field(s). In other words, it can't be both
valid and invalid at the same time! DX4WIN already has a way to mark a QSO
as invalid for a particular award, by setting the Award Flag to 'I'
(Invalid). So it seems to me that DX4WIN should disregard the RST field(s)
once the QSO has an Award Flag set for it.
Note that a QSO is also invalid if the RST field is '0' (zero). It is
*not* invalid if the RST field is "+0" (0 dB) which is a typical report
received on the digital modes that WSJT-X supports.
Fortunately, there is a way to find QSOs that have a blank RST field.
Using F8 to begin a search, enter this two-character string into one of the
RST fields and then type :
!*
(that's an exclamation point, immediately followed by an asterisk). The '*'
means "anything" and by putting the '!' in f

Re: [Dx4win] Question
Hello Jean Paul, >From the QSO window: LoTW > Export to LoTW Save the file in a place and with a name that you can remember. I use a folder named LoTW and the date of the export (211101 for today). That's it. DX4WIN will keep track of what you have exported and when, so you don't need to worry about any of the dates. 73, Mike Cizek W0VTT -Original Message- From: dx4win-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of John Paul Keon Sent: Monday, 1 November, 2021 15:02 To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Dx4win] Question I am trying to convert my log in DX4WIN to an ADIF file so I can export to LOTW. I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to convert the logs that I have saved. They have a .DXL extension and LOTW will not accept them. What am I doing wrong? I will continue looking through the manual and see if there Is something I am missing.
