No idea how this can happen.

It could be, if you are in real-time logging mode with a blank QSO.
What node are you connected to?  I could not find any such spots on
VE7CC with that text in the spot comment field.

[Dx4win] Time field question

2010-12-03 Thread Jack Shirley
Worked ZL8X on 17M RTTY using DX4WIN/MMTTY
Entered QSO...  Didn't realize there was an error in the time field
until I uploaded to LOTW.
Somehow it recorded the time as ??:??   How can this happen? Why
wasn't there some type of error message?

Also in the grid field , kP3APq  (  AP is in red color fonts )
sometime appears , without any other information entered into the
other blank fields. Is this coming from the Packet window ( ve7cc with
local host 7300 ) or ?

[Dx4win] Time field

I think this would be a very good idea, particularly since grabbing a spot 
takes you straight to the RST Sent field, and the clock just keeps ticking 
until you notice it.  But wouldn't it make better sense to have it be some 
different color BEFORE you stop it, rather than after?  I like to be 
reminded when I haven't done something I should.

I suppose you can get into the habit of always clicking the time field and 
then back to RSTS when someone answers your call, but it would be nice to 
be reminded, and even nicer to have an alt-Fx combination you could click 
to freeze the clock without having to tab or click back and forth.

Maybe I'm missing something that's already there, in which case I'm sure 
somebody will enlighten us both.

[Dx4win] Time field

2003-01-22 Thread Jack Shirley
I have on several occasions forgotten to click or tab on the time field =
to stop the clock.
Then ,several hours latter, you find that you have not logged the time =
correctly.
Would be nice if the time field would flash or change color after it is =
set.
Any suggestions?
