[Dx4win] Mapping specific callsigns to a Country (TO4E)
Hello It might be that the default DXCC for prefix TO is France F. And so it is in your log. And for you F is not so high priority?? So it might show only priority 4. But as soon as you do logging of TO4E like advised (and delete the QSO also, if not worked) the mapping will be correct and you get a higher priority for the next spot. This is the problem with issuing calls that doesn´t follow the default rules. 73s de Lars / SM4WGB > >Is anyone besides me having the TO4E spots come up as blue text against >a white background (priority 4) when Europa is needed for a new >band-country?

[Dx4win] Mapping specific callsigns to a Country (TO4E)
I usually log a fake qso. change the prefix (to FR/J in this case) and immediately delete this qso. You will then find the country database updated automatically ! gd dx, Rob PA0RDY - Original Message - From: "Ron Majewski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 6:10 AM Subject: [Dx4win] Mapping specific callsigns to a Country (TO4E) > Hi All, > > How does one associate a specific callsign (like TO4E) > with a country (FR/J)? > > I've been going in through the "databases>countries" > menu, selecting FR/J, then doing a "calls>add" At > this point I add TO4E, zone 39, and the start date.

[Dx4win] Mapping specific callsigns to a Country (TO4E)
The easiest way, Ron, is to type TO4E in the log window and tab over to the "prefix" box and hit "F1" and choose the entity from the list that pops up that you want this callsign exception to be. Then hit Enter and "Log the QSO", then, bring that QSO back to the log window by double clicking on it in the logbook window and choose the "QSO" pulldown menu and select "Delete QSO". this will make a callsign exception for that callsign anytime it is entered into the log window in the future, from that date on.

[Dx4win] Mapping specific callsigns to a Country (TO4E)
Is anyone besides me having the TO4E spots come up as blue text against a white background (priority 4) when Europa is needed for a new band-country? Ordinarily a new band-country would be white text on a red background (priority 3). Think a similar issue came up on the reflector several months ago. Do I have something set incorrectly or is this the way the priorities are supposed to work? I normally sound an alarm for new band-countries, but the current settings won't do that for TO4E.

[Dx4win] Mapping specific callsigns to a Country (TO4E)
Hi All, How does one associate a specific callsign (like TO4E) with a country (FR/J)? I've been going in through the "databases>countries" menu, selecting FR/J, then doing a "calls>add" At this point I add TO4E, zone 39, and the start date. I save changes and exit. The changes I make disappear at this point and TO4E remains mapped to France. I didn't see any discussion on this in the archives for the past few months. I'm running v5.02 Thanks and 73, Ron (W8RU).
