Re: Pathfinder - not working..

 

If you type my callsign into Pathfinder's callsign box and click the QRZ
button, what happens?

If you type my callsign into Pathfinder's callsign box and click the Buck

If you open Pathfinder's Config window, to what is the QRZ.com URL set?

It's too late now, but for the future, there is a program called Total Uninstall

any changes that are made during installation. I have used it for years and it
works great.



It is not free - under $30 - but for the price, well worth it, IMO.

Re: WPX report

 

The QSO responsible for the 1B0 WPX prefix is not confirmed, which is why it
doesn't appear in the Submission report. You can find it with the SQL query

PFX='1B0'

Subject: [dxlab] RE: WPX report


Dave and the group,

I hadn't thought to do a Submission report, but I have now run that, and I
can see where the 2K0 comes from, but the 1B0 is a mystery still.
The 2K0 is from a G call I worked back in 2000, as we were then allowed to
use (eg) G1ABC/2K for the Millenium. I guess the WPX in DXK sees the /2K as
an alternative, just like AA6YQ/C6.

I am including a snippet from both reports here:
(Please note that I have included the log filter, merely as info, as that
1B0 showed up as a 40m DG contact)
WPX Progress:
GU0SUP Worked All Prefixes Progress Report 07-Sep-2009
Log Filter: ((mode='rtty') or (mode='psk') or (mode='digi')) and band='40m'
Index Prefix Status
1 1A0 worked (40m, DG)
2 1B0 worked (40m, DG)
3 2E0 worked (40m, DG)
4 2I0 worked (40m, DG)
5 3A2 worked (40m, DG)
6 3B7 confirmed (40m, DG)
7 3V8 worked (40m, DG)
8 3Z0 worked (40m, DG)
9 3Z1 confirmed (40m, DG)
10 3Z10 worked (40m, DG)
Total WPX Prefixes 928
Confirmed WPX Prefixes 326
Worked WPX Prefixes 602

Now the Submission report:
GU0SUP Worked All Prefixes Submission Report 07-Sep-2009
Log Filter: ((mode='rtty') or (mode='psk') or (mode='digi')) and band='40m'
Index Call Prefix Cards eQSL-AG
1 3B7SP 3B7 Y
2 3Z1V 3Z1 Y
3 4K6DI 4K6 Y
4 4L1BR 4L1 Y
5 4U1ITU 4U1 Y
6 4X6UU 4X6 Y
7 4Z5AV 4Z5 Y
8 5A7A 5A7 Y
9 5C5W 5C5 Y
10 7S4RY 7S4 Y
.
.
.
.
326 ZX2B ZX2 Y

So, both agree that I have 326 confirmed WPX's on 40m digi modes, and I
assume the difference between the top 10 in each case is that the Progress
is reporting those calls worked, whereas the Progress is showing those
confirmed.
However, I cannot find that 1B0 (zero, not letter O) whatever I do to filter
the log, or even leave it unfiltered.
I've also tried various SQL expressions to see if there is a call like /1B
in the log, but I don't recall any such call, and nothing comes of using
CALL LIKE '*/1*' or any other combination I can think of.
Any idea what I might use to try and find that 1B0 ??

Re: BEGIN MACRO Request or Did I Miss This Also?

 

When a QSO's start time is set, it appears in red font to the right of the
words "QSO Info" on DXKeeper's Main window. Click the Begin button so you'll
see what I mean.

Now click the X button to clear the QSO Info panel, and then slowly repeat
the procedure you've been using. At what point is the QSO start time set?

Answers/Comments

If you want your RST items initialized to but don't want the QSO's start
time set when you capture a callsign, disable "set QSO start when RST
Rcvd". -

This is my setup. I have "set QSO start when RST Rcvd" unchecked and
"initialize RST items to
default" checked.

Note that if you log a QSO without having clicked the Begin button,
WinWarbler will record the QSO's start and end times as the time at which
you clicked the Log button (or executed the Log macro command).

I just clicked 3A2MD at 2045 and walked away from computer. I came back hit
my log macro F key and then looked in the DXK log file. The Q start time was
2045 and the Q end time was 2050.

Subject: [dxlab] BEGIN MACRO Request or Did I Miss This Also?


Situation: Click on spot or find station in pile up and start entry (enter
call sign) in WW. I then use TAB to see if I should proceed with chasing the
station. The QSO Started At Date/Time appears in red above call sign in WW.

Problem: I don't always get the station for several minutes and when I do,
it is a mad click to hit the BEGIN button and then the F Key to send my
report.

Is there or can there be a <begin> macro that can be placed in a F Key
function to reset the start time of the QSO? I can't find one in the list of
macros.

By default, a QSO's start time is set when you click the Main window's
"QSO Info" panel's Begin button.

On the Config window's Log tab, enabling the "set QSO start when RST
Rcvd" option means that a QSO's start time will be set when you specify its
"RST Rcvd" item, either by typing a report into the Main windows' "Log QSOs"
tab, or by double-clicking a received signal report.

On the Config window's Log tab, there is also an "initialize RST items to
default" option. If you enable this option and have also enabled "set QSO
start when RST Rcvd", then when you type a callsign into the "QSO Info"
window or double-click a decoded callsign

1. the "RST Rcvd" item is initialized to the default

2. the QSO's start time is set (because the "RST Rcvd" was recorded and you
have "set QSO start when RST Rcvd" enabled

If you want your RST items initialized to but don't want the QSO's start
time set when you capture a callsign, disable "set QSO start when RST
Rcvd".

Note that if you log a QSO without having clicked the Begin button,
WinWarbler will record the QSO's start and end times as the time at which
you clicked the Log button (or executed the Log macro command).


I will bet that the group will be glad when today is over :)

Why clear it? It's not hurting anything and will be replaced when you

Yes, if you had to tune your radio to bring the station in, then the
original spot frequency wasn't quite correct. If you re-spot the
station, you want to do so with what your believe to be the correct
frequency.

I didn't provide automation for this because its not necessary. If you double-click another spot database entry or double-click a decoded callsign in WinWarbler, the outgoing spot callsign will be updated. If you want to manually type in a new outgoing spot callsign, click on the existing outgoing spot callsign, strike CTRL-A to select it, and then type the new outgoing spot callsign.
Also the spot frequency is not locked to the spot. If I move the dial the spot frequency changes but the call sign remains. Is this normal?

Yes. You might find that the station's actual frequency is different than what was originally spotted, or the station may QSY after being spotted. Either way, your outgoing spot should include an accurate frequency.

If you want your RST items initialized to but don't want the QSO's start
time set when you capture a callsign, disable "set QSO start when RST
Rcvd".

Note that if you log a QSO without having clicked the Begin button,
WinWarbler will record the QSO's start and end times as the time at which
you clicked the Log button (or executed the Log macro command).


I will bet that the group will be glad when today is over :)

Not at all, Jim. Providing answers to questions is one of the fundamental
purposes of this group. .

BEGIN MACRO Request or Did I Miss This Also?

 

Situation: Click on spot or find station in pile up and start entry (enter
call sign) in WW. I then use TAB to see if I should proceed with chasing the
station. The QSO Started At Date/Time appears in red above call sign in WW.

Problem: I don't always get the station for several minutes and when I do,
it is a mad click to hit the BEGIN button and then the F Key to send my
report.

Is there or can there be a <begin> macro that can be placed in a F Key
function to reset the start time of the QSO? I can't find one in the list of
macros.

This scenario happens in state QSO parties when I am chasing mobiles, etc.

I will bet that the group will be glad when today is over :)

Dave and All


Answering: By " it populates WW and creates an entry in DXK", I assume you
mean "It
populates WinWarbler's 'QSO Info' panel and DXKeeper's Capture window".

No, I don't use the Capture Window. I had it active until yesterday but
found I never used it so I closed it. It populates DXK "Log QSO/Entry"
Window. If I have had a previous Q with the station it shows the previous Q
and places a red entry line in the log window. If no previous Q, then only a
red entry line in the DXK "Log Entry Window".

On the General tab of DXKeeper's Config window, uncheck the Options
panel's "New QSO on DX Spot activation" box.

Re: free off-site backup

 

For what it's worth . . . I've used the free 2GB Mozy service for several months. Seems to me that it works as advertised.

Like Dave, I have no affiliation with Mozy other than being (so far) a satisfied user.

Awhile back, I mentioned that I'd begun using "SOS Online Backup", an
off-site backup application that charges $20 annually for 2 GB of offline
storage and $30 annualy for 5 GB of offline storage. I set this up to
perform daily backups on my DXLab Development, Digital Photography, and XYL
PCs. While all of these systems are backed up nightly to a server, my data
was still vulnerable to a single catastrophe.

Unfortunately, "SOS Online Backup" has problems. The "client" application
that runs on each PC has resource leaks, takes forever to start up (around 2
minutes on my DXLab PC), and doesn't accurately report the amount of storage
in use. When I reported these problems to the company, they eventually sent
me a new version of the client that while improved in some dimensions is far
less reliable; it's great if you're a collector of stack traces.

I have begun evaluating Mozy (www.mozy.com) and find it to be both reliable
and useable. Initially, I was put off by the fact that files within

c:&#92;program files

could not be selected for backup, but there's a configuration option that
overrides this. The free version of Mozy gives you 2 GB -- likely more than
enough for your email, personal documents (not images), and log files. In

<>

and look for the "MozyHome Free" box along the left margin.

For those needing more than 2 GB, unlimited storage will cost you $5/month
for one PC.

I have no affiliation with Mozy beyond being a satisfied (so far) user.
