Thanks for taking a look at this.QSL Tab -> QSL Config -> General
Ok. This solves another thing for me. In years past, when we all kept paper logs, we were asked to record station changes and other information in our logbook. It would go in the log as a comment with none of the QSO information filled in. I had been trying to figure out how to do that for any information I wanted to record in the DXKeeper log. I hadn¡¯t yet gotten into mind how to make the feature request¡
And now I know it isn¡¯t necessary as the support is already there.
However, I just ran into an issue. It appears that logging a comment like this still tries to upload the ¡°QSO¡± to QRZ and possibly other logging/QSL services. I got a couple of popups from QRZ, and both the eQSL and LoTW panels are showing ¡°R¡± for Sent. I would guess that a QSO with a ¡°!¡± in the callsign should probably prevent the record from being uploaded to those services. Just a guess, however. ?
Thanks for taking a look at this.

Dave's DXKeeper manual (Logging New QSOs with the Capture window) says:
If the first letter of the callsign you enter is an exclamation point, DXKeeper assumes that you are logging a CQ, an unsuccessful call, a test, or some other transmission that you wish to record but does not represent a QSO. Such log entries are not assigned a DXCC prefix, do not initiate a Callbook database lookup, and are not included in award tracking statistics.
+ Exactly right. Click the Capture window's Begin button when you start calling CQ; when you stop calling CQ, click the Capture window's End button and log the CQ. When calling a station, initially place a ! in front of the callsign of the station you're calling (in the Capture window's Callsign box), and click the Begin button. If the station responds, remove the !. If not, log the unsuccessful call.

+ Like this:
1. Filter the Log Page Display to contain those 26 QSOs; it's ok if other QSOs are included, if that makes the filtering easier.
2. On the Main window's QSL tab,?
2a. set the "QSL Via" panel to LoTW
2b. click the "Update from LoTW" button

+ There is no reason to click the Launcher's "Restore" buttons; you've already directed the Launcher to install your DXLab applications.Hello Dave......After writing to the group I turned the computer off and took a break. When I turned the computer back on I went to the Launcher folder and clicked on the Launcher exec. it loaded the Launcher again and the Relocation backup was in the Workspaces. I checked to see if the files I moved were present in the Relocation backup, they were. I clicked Load the Workspace and Windows gave me hell for changing the registry settings, but finally let me load the Workspaces.? I then loaded the files into the locations in the New PC.??I have not yet connected the new PC to the radio. I have not clicked? restore buttons in the Launcher yet.
