[Dx4win] Updated dx4win.awd & dx4win.tcp
Hi all, I just looked over the DX4Win awards file that Hamad has been working on, and it looks like he's done a very good job. But, I noted that the two big lighthouse awards were missing. The Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society (ARLHS), and the World Lighthouses On The Air (WLOTA). The ARLHS list is big, 10,000+, and unless you're chasing lights you probably don't want it. But, if you do, you can find it, the WLOTA, the Canadian Islands Award (CIsA), and the Islands of Scotland Award (IOSA) on my web page, along with instructions on how to update the DX4Win.awd file. I try to keep these files up-to-date, and you can check for the date that I last updated them. I'm due to update both the USIA and CIsA files by the end of August.

[Dx4win] Setting the Uplaod flag
Back before DX4Win had the ability to track and do the LoTW upload, I
did my whole log manually. Now, I'm trying to go through and set the
Upload flag to "Y" so that I can then set the Upload Date. But, when I
follow the instructions posted by AD1C
(http://www.ad1c.com/dx4win/#LoTW) I get 3,291 QSO's changed. Now, if I
go back and do a select on those with the Upload Flag still set to "N" I
get 8,908. No matter what I do, short of changing them all manually, I
can not get the flag on those QSO's set to "Y".
Anyone have any ideas how I can set these flags to "Y"?

Subject: [Dx4win] LoTW - what is the "upload date"? and when does it get
filled-in?
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Larry,
Sounds like you missed one step (and this would have been without a filter,
as it involved your entire log the first time, but it also works with and is
"necessary" even with a filter set):
Labels --> Set upload flags
That will set the upload date. The reason that's "important" to you is that
later you can filter on that field to find any entries that have not yet
been uploaded by doing an F9 search and entering "01/01/1901" in that field.
You can still go back and do that now. You just don't have to upload the
file to LoTW (obviously).
73,
Steve

OK - so I have figured out: the LoTW ADIF extract from DX4win, the ARRL
certificates, signing the ADIF file, uploading the file, downloading the
matching QSO confirmation results, and importing the results into DX4WIN as
"upload confirmed QSOs".
I uploaded 15,761 QSOs to LoTW. I got 1,962 upload confirmed QSOs in
response. All seems good, except the "upload date" is still blank. Is the
upload date supposed to be filled in when I created the DX4WIN extract ADIF
file, or does it get filled in when I import the "upload confirmed QSOs"?
In other words - it DX4WIN's "upload date" tracking when I _sent_ the QSOs
to ARRL's big database, or when I _receive_ a confirmation that one of mine
got a match? And... what action on my part actually enters the date? {please
don't suggest that I have to hand-enter 1,961 dates... ;-}

[Dx4win] LoTW problems
I think I may have a handle on this. It appears that it has something to do with the way that QSL Method is set. Everything below was done with no filters set. To start with, I have QSL Methods set as follows: 216 to QSL Service 1,419 to Buro 1,032 to Direct 405 to 208 to Other 8,933 to Ignore Which adds up to the 12,213 QLOs in my log. When I do the Label|Set Upload Flags, I get "3,268 QSLs changed" Now, if I do a QSO|Multiple QSOs Operations|Set QSL Method, and set everything to "Buro", I get "Changed 8,299 QSOs", and a break down as follows: 128 to QSL Service 9,718 to Buro 912 to Direct 318 to 165 to Other 909 to Ignore or, a total of 12,150 QSOs with a QSL Method. Where the other 63 are, I have no idea. Now, this time when I do the Label|Set Upload Flags, I get "11,290 QSLs changed". That's 923 less QSOs than my log contains. Why those didn't get changed, I have no idea. But, it appears that setting the Upload Flag has something to do with QSL Method. I hope that this will give Paul an idea when he gets back from Dayton. 73 - Ted - W8TTS

[Dx4win] LOTW Test
One thing that the guy at LOTW told me was, they really want input from anyone that beta tests. So, what ever kind of problems that you run across, send them a detailed email to the address on the LOTW home page: http://p1k.arrl.org/lotw/default To get signed up, go to: www.arrl.org/lotw So far I haven't found it very user friendly. Yes, it's only beta. But, I have a couple of friends that use computers for logging, and are as computer literate as a brick. I would hate to have to try and explain how to use LOTW to them. Hopefully, by the time they are ready to release a full version, they will have it so there is only one step to get a certificate and one to upload a log. 73 - Ted - W8TTS Joe - WL7M wrote: > Was going to say something silly like "DX4WIN (or any other logging > program) wouldn't allow a callsign with out a numeric element"then I > found out it will.

Nope. You can, like most programs, set up About Time to start at boot up time. Just add it to your startup folder.

I just went in and unchecked the "Backup DX spots" box. And, it went back to clearing, i.e. deleting the .PUT file, with spots still in it when I exited DX4Win and restarted.

SV: [Dx4win] DX Spots Window
You will note that the DX4WIN.PUT file comes and goes. It is only there when there are spots in the DX spot window. If you exit DX4Win without clearing the spots the .PUT file remains with spots. If you clear the spots and don't exit DX4Win the .PUT file remains. If you clear the spots and then exit DX4Win the file is renamed to DX4WIN.~UP, thereby effectively deleting it. You can delete the ~UT file and the .PUT file will be recreated the next time a spot is placed in the DX spot window. At least that's the way it works here. BTW, I use the DX-Telnet interface. 73 - Ted - W8TTS "Jan Eliasson, SM7NDX" wrote: > > Hello! > > I have the same problem with lost spots from internet. > > Just found that I don?t have any dxwin.put file.

[Dx4win] Terminal Program for DX Clusters
Good Morning Bruce, I've been a very happy user of DX-Telnet for a long time. It's a very flexible program with lots of goodies, that aren't hard to get up and running, including a startup routine that starts DX-Telnet, a handshake program, and then DX4Win. It's very stable, the last update was almost a year ago. Take a look at: http://www.qsl.net/wd4ngb/telnet.htm It's not shareware, but there is a one time registration fee. And, the author is VERY helpful. The usual disclaimer, I have no financial interest in either DX4Win or DX-Telnet. Just a happy user. 73 - Ted - W8TTS [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Good Morning: > > Which terminal program would you recommend for use with DX4WIN.

Something else that I noted, is that now if you exit the program and restart, the DX spots window is cleared. 5.x didn't do this. I would prefer to see the spots remain in that window unless cleared. There are times when you close and restart the programs, i.e. a hard computer lock, oops I clicked on the [x], etc., and want to see the spots that were there remain when I restart. 73 - Ted - W8TTS Dave Hawes wrote: > > Yes, that is the way it used to work.

If I remember correctly, in the 5.x version if I made the send part (bottom) of the Packet Window smaller it stayed that way when I exited and restarted DX4Win. But, in the 6.x version, I have to resize it every time. Anyone else seeing this? 73 - Ted - W8TTS

[Dx4win] Using the QRZ database from the HD
As an aside to this. I think that the RAC instal looks to see if a previous version was installed and then asks if you want it to replace the old one in the same directory. If I remember correctly that's the way the install of this last version went. My RAC is in directory C:\RAC with four sub directories under that: DATA, HELP, LABELS32, and TEXTE. 73 - Ted - W8TTS Roger Borowski wrote: > > Steve and all, I have QRZ installed here and working fine.

[Dx4win] New version?
Well, now that you asked. There is one little thing that would be great to have, the ability to track more than one custom award per QSO. Why, if you chase islands and lighthouses, it's possible to have an IOTA, a US Island, an ARLHS lighthouse, and a WLHA lighthouse. You can do the IOTA and one of the other three, but then you have to track the others in a stand-a-lone data base. Oh, one additional thing. The current way to put in a station that you would like to have as a Callsign Alert is a little cumbersome. You have to change your preferences, and there is no start/end dates for them. If there was a way to enter Callsign Alerts, the same way you can do the Events Calendar, that would be great. That way you could enter those DXpeditions with start and end dates, and automatically delete them on a regular basis. There are always ways to make a GREAT program, a little bit better. 73 - Ted Radi Kar wrote: > > Aren't you satisfied with the current version of DX4WIN? What is wrong with > it?

[Dx4win] Staying Connected to TELNET
Hi Jim, It all depends on the filtering that you have setup on your nodes, and what kind of activity there is, and what good old Sol is up to. When the solar indexes are bad, I've seen an hour go by without a spot, I only look at North America and HF. I use W8GN, K8SMC, and others. So, yes there can be little traffic at times. 73 - Ted - W8TTS Jim Reisert wrote: > > Are you guys on nodes with very little traffic? > > I can connect to W1GQ, KE9KD and K8SMC (also N2TX before it moved) for days at > a time, and I'm not actively pinging the connection.

The only dumb question, is a question not asked. DX-Telnet is a program that allows for the connection to many clusters at the same time, and that includes your favorite DX packet cluster. It also allows for filtering, call sign alerts, etc. Take a look at: http://www.qsl.net/wd4ngb/telnet.htm 73 - Ted - W8TTS [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Dumb question Norm. What is DXTelnet?

[Dx4win] Staying Connected to TELNET
Hi Larry, I think the main reason that I don't loose my cluster connections is because I use the ping (Stay Alive) option of DX-Telnet. Even on slow spot days, it pings once ever 10 minutes and keeps the connection active. I can stay connected for a VERY long time this way. 73 - Ted
[Dx4win] Staying Connected to TELNET
I use DX-Telnet through a cable modem (Road Runner) and don't have any problem staying connected. I did earlier, do to the way it was connected to my laptop, but that's another issue. I have the clusters that I use, set up to be pinged every 10 minutes as a keep alive. And, it works like a charm. To stop the "unwanted attempted connections from various unknown urls", I use a D-Link Cable/DSL Internet Gateway between the cable modem and the PC. 73 - Ted - W8TTS Larry Alkoff wrote: > > On Mon, 4 Nov 2002 21:05:25 -0800, STU wrote: > > > Is there anyone out there that has a hard time staying connected > > to TELNET. > > I have a high speed cable connection that works great for the > > Internet.

Hi Bill, DX4Win only allows for one custom award per QSO, something that I've asked to be changed. And, I don't think there is away to automatically update the custom awards.

[Dx4win] Prob with program startup
DX4Win will only allow one version to run at a time and it's possible that there is an entry in the task table for a non-running version of the program. Try this. Do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and see if there is a version of the program in the task table. It's possible that something happened the last time that you had the program running and ended it. If you find a version running, highlight it and click END TASK. This will clear, what may be a non-running version of, the DX4Win tag from the table. It's possible that you might loose some data from the log if it hasn't been properly saved. Or, you can shut down and restart the PC. This will give you a clean task table. Hope this helps. 73 - Ted - W8TTS WA9ALS - John wrote: > > I just tried to start DX4WIN v5.03 in the usual way to add Vlad's QSL > Manager update.

[Dx4win] Data base maximums
Hi all, Was just wondering if there is a maximum number of entries that can be in the various DX4WIN data bases before you start running into problems? Data bases such as: LOG file, QSL Managers, and Manager Addresses. 73 - Ted - W8TTS
[Dx4win] Packet Filtering
Take a look at DX Telnet, it allows you do do a lot of things with packet and internet clusters, including filtering: http://www.qsl.net/wd4ngb/telnet.htm Ted - W8TTS Doug Weaver wrote: > > Does anyone know if there is a way to filter out certain bands on incoming > packet spots?
