Re: Two (or more) users/logs?

One more question - where are the 'workspaces' stored? I have my log files stored under my user files so they get backed up and will be migrated to Win7. Where are the workspaces so i can back them up and migrate them as well?

My daughter passed her Tech and got her call yesterday!

Congratulations to both of you!

I would like to set up a fresh log for her in dxlab so we can track her
awards, progress, etc, and 'do something' when it starts so we can pick the
log to work in - hers or mine.

You can create an empty new log for Olivia using the "Log file" panel at
the top of Config window's Log tab. If the pathname for your log file shown
in this panel is

C:&#92;Program Files&#92;DXLab Suite&#92;DXKeeper&#92;Logs&#92;N8WRL.mdb

change this to

C:&#92;Program Files&#92;DXLab Suite&#92;DXKeeper&#92;Logs&#92;KJ4OTY.mdb

and then click the Create button. DXKeeper will create an empty new log, and
open it. To switch back to your log, Brian, you'd click the "Log file"
panel's Select button and double-click N8WRL.mdb in the "select existing
log" window.

At minimum, you'll also need to change the default "Station callsign"
(Config window, Defaults tab) whenever you change operators so that the
correct station callsign will be recorded with each QSO. If you don't mind
sharing the rest of the settings, this will be the fastest approach. If
you'd like to maintain separate settings, you could either direct the
Launcher to setup a pair of Workspaces, save your settings to your
Workspace, and then after Olivia establishes her settings save those to her
Workspace. Switching operators would then entail terminating all DXLab
applications except the Launcher, switching workspaces, and then restarting
your DXLab applications. Alternatively, you could create a separate Windows
user for Olivia, and switch Windows users whenever you switch operators.

I spent some quality time searching this group and the docs to no avail. Any

I got two workspaces set up and it is 95% perfect. The only annoyance I have now I think is Vista's fault - switching between workspaces brings up a bunch of UAC nonsense-popups when dxlab updates the registry. But win7 is supposed to be better and I can put up with this for now.

Thanks again!

The frustrating part is that the behavior is intermittent. This morning as I was checking the settings per your request, I could rapidly QSY with no disappearing calls and yet, last evening, if I were to move the dial only slightly they were gone! I've opened a bunch of programs including my virus scanner to load the CPU and it is currently behaving as it should. Occasionally, when I spin the dial, the marker on the Bandspread window doesn't keep up but rather lags behind in updating. The more I think about this, I'm beginning to think that the problem may well be with the video card.

Re: Two (or more) users/logs?

 

Note that if you create separate windows logins for each user then each will have his own log file and DXLab options when logged on to the appropriate account. This is because DXLab keeps all of it's settings under the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Thus, each user has his/her own copy of the CURRENT_USER registry settings. Note that this will not work with Vista if you have installed the DXLab programs on "Program Files" because in order for DXLab to work properly in that case you are required to log on to the one account named "Administration". But it should work fine with Windows XP and also the upcoming Windows 7.

Re: JD1BMM

pcooper
 

Dave and the group,

OK, I deleted JD1BMM from the overrides box, and re-entered it.
However, it still won't come up with a heading in SC unless I enter the grid and zones, etc.

I am a little confused, as I have never had to populate any other boxes in the overrides panel to get the correct info.
For example, I have VR10 mapped to Hong Kong, but no other boxes are filled in, and any VR10 calls were correctly mapped.

I've just played around with JD1O and JD1M in DXV, and those calls correctly show the entity, but JD1BMM will not, unless the overrides panel has the grid and zones specified.

I do now have it working, and you are probably correct in your assumption that it has been there for a while now, possibly before several upgrades.

Thanks again for the help,

Re: WAC report

Bill KG4NZR hit the nail on the head here. It has to be only QSO's that are listed as V that can be used.


Thanks, Art. In the next version of DXKeeper, the WAC Progress Report

All LotW confirmations or only those set to "V"? Seems like counting all

The Workspace mechanism supports this, but at present, switching Workspaces requires you to terminate each DXLab application because the only time these applications load their settings is at startup. The next step is to give the Launcher the ability to send a message to any DXLab application that effectively says "reload your settings from the this new Workspace". When implemented, this would mean that switching from workspace A to workspace B would cause DXKeeper to close whatever log was presently open, and open the log specified in the new Workspace. Applying this transformation to all eight DXLab applications is on the list, but its magnitude means it must compete for attention with efforts like improving the MMTTY engine's RTTY decoding and further extending DXKeeper's and SpotCollector's realtime award tracking. My priorities for such major undertakings are based on assessments of the aggregate beneficial effect across the DXLab user community.

If my response to Brian N8WRL doesn't answer your question, Paul, please let me know.

Once you have a separate log for each operator, you'll probably want to populate each with the QSOs now recorded in your "station log" and remove them from you station log, leaving only your QSOs . This can be quickly accomplished by the following procedure:

1. open your station log

2. create a log backup ( Config window, Log tab, Backup button); visit your backup folder with Windows Explorer to be certain that this backup was created

3. filter your "station log" by a station callsign , e.g. STATION_CALLSIGN ='KG7XX'

4. use the "Export QSOs " tab to generate a standard ADIF file (when asked if you want the filter removed before exporting, decline)

5. while depressing the CTRL key, click the Delete button on the Main window's "Log QSOs " tab; this will delete the QSOs you just exported

6. go to step 3 to export and delete QSOs made from the next station callsign

Then you can create a new log for each of the other operators and populate it by importing the appropriate ADIF file created above.

Hi All,

I asked Bill, NC1L, this morning. Here's our exchange:

I wrote:
The WAC application indicates that you can use DXCC account credits.
Does that apply to all credits, even those that came from LotW DXCC
applications?

Art:
Once the credits are in your DXCC account they are OK to use.

So, there's your definitive answer. I can see why no public
announcement. It's sort of back door. No ability to apply for WAC
directly through LotW but you can use previously accepted DXCC
credits. This makes sense to me as why do all that programming for 6
QSLs for the award. Even the 5 Band WAC only requires 30 QSLs and
there are no 12, 17, 30m endorsements for WAC.

I'm dubious. There's been a ton of pressure on the ARRL to

Hi all,

Larry W6NWS quoted the ARRL site................
"... At the present time credits in the ARRL LogBook of The World
(LoTW)
system cannot be claimed for WAC credit. Applicants who have a
current DXCC
award in the DXCC computer system can apply for WAC by completing
the WAC
application form and sending it to the address noted above, listing
credits
to be claimed on the application form. In this case QSL cards are not
required. ...."

I did find the above statement a little confusing at first, but it
implies
that LoTW credits that are now part of your DXCC claim CAN indeed be
used.

I'm dubious. There's been a ton of pressure on the ARRL to
support more
awards with LotW. If WAC were now supported by LotW, we'd have seen
a press
release. You can configure DXKeeper to "count" LotW confirmations when
generating a WAC progress report; I'm not going to "hardwire" this
untill I
see a press release.


So, I thought I would do a search and see what I came up with. It
took a
while to get the proper SQL function, but I got there in the end.
The confusing bit was having to remember to use both the LoTW QSL
Received
and also the QSL Received functions for all of S and V.
But, after a few goes, I got it right, and found that I do indeed have
enough DXCC credits to claim 5BWAC - all on RTTY.

You can do this by checking the "include LotW confirmations in
VUCC, WAC,
& Maidenhead progress" box at the top of the Config window's Awards
tab
before initiating the WAC progress report.


Another point for those wishing to check whether they have 5BWAC,
you must
also filter the log for each band as well as filtering for QSL's
verified.
I just entered the SQL expression in the ADV boxes, and then changed
the
band after each click of the WAC progress button. Save the resulting
file as
something like WAC-80m and you are away!

You could create a script to generate a WAC progress report for
each
band. The MultiWAS.txt file in DXKeeper's Scripts folder illustrates

Re: Two (or more) users/logs?

 

If my response to Brian N8WRL doesn't answer your question, Paul, please let me know.

Once you have a separate log for each operator, you'll probably want to populate each with the QSOs now recorded in your "station log" and remove them from you station log, leaving only your QSOs. This can be quickly accomplished by the following procedure:

1. open your station log

2. create a log backup (Config window, Log tab, Backup button); visit your backup folder with Windows Explorer to be certain that this backup was created

3. filter your "station log" by a station callsign, e.g. STATION_CALLSIGN='KG7XX'

4. use the "Export QSOs" tab to generate a standard ADIF file (when asked if you want the filter removed before exporting, decline)

5. while depressing the CTRL key, click the Delete button on the Main window's "Log QSOs" tab; this will delete the QSOs you just exported

6. go to step 3 to export and delete QSOs made from the next station callsign

Then you can create a new log for each of the other operators and populate it by importing the appropriate ADIF file created above.

I've struggled with the same problem so would also like to know if there is an easy way to select between logs when starting up.



I've been using one "station log", and setting the operator to the different calls in my house. Then sort and query by operator.

My daughter passed her Tech and got her call yesterday!

I would like to set up a fresh log for her in dxlab so we can track her awards, progress, etc, and 'do something' when it starts so we can pick the log to work in - hers or mine. I spent some quality time searching this group and the docs to no avail. Any hints?

My daughter passed her Tech and got her call yesterday!

Congratulations to both of you!

I would like to set up a fresh log for her in dxlab so we can track her
awards, progress, etc, and 'do something' when it starts so we can pick the
log to work in - hers or mine.

You can create an empty new log for Olivia using the "Log file" panel at
the top of Config window's Log tab. If the pathname for your log file shown
in this panel is

C:&#92;Program Files&#92;DXLab Suite&#92;DXKeeper&#92;Logs&#92;N8WRL.mdb

change this to

C:&#92;Program Files&#92;DXLab Suite&#92;DXKeeper&#92;Logs&#92;KJ4OTY.mdb

and then click the Create button. DXKeeper will create an empty new log, and
open it. To switch back to your log, Brian, you'd click the "Log file"
panel's Select button and double-click N8WRL.mdb in the "select existing
log" window.

At minimum, you'll also need to change the default "Station callsign"
(Config window, Defaults tab) whenever you change operators so that the
correct station callsign will be recorded with each QSO. If you don't mind
sharing the rest of the settings, this will be the fastest approach. If
you'd like to maintain separate settings, you could either direct the
Launcher to setup a pair of Workspaces, save your settings to your
Workspace, and then after Olivia establishes her settings save those to her
Workspace. Switching operators would then entail terminating all DXLab
applications except the Launcher, switching workspaces, and then restarting
your DXLab applications. Alternatively, you could create a separate Windows
user for Olivia, and switch Windows users whenever you switch operators.

I spent some quality time searching this group and the docs to no avail. Any
hints?

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

 

Problem solved !

The problem was with the user and not the program. I kept looking at DXK
Config and I should have been looking at WW Config.

All is fine in DXL land.

Thanks to Dave and all for their patience.

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.

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 :)

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

Dave, AA6YQ

Re: Pathfinder - not working..

Art Searle
 

Hi Iva,

I'd guess the call in you log or the call you are pasting is 9 U O (letter O not number Zero) A. Instead of pasting try typing 9U(letter O)A and then 9U(zero)A and see which one matches.
