N1MM to DXK Gateway
n4lv
Hi All,
Thought I would try the real time logging into DXK from N1MM. So far, no luck in getting it to work. I went into the .ini files and changed DoWebUpdate=1 to =0 (don't have a website) and DoDXKGateway=0 to =1 to enable real time logging, also the radiotype. It is installed in it's own directory under program files. (WinXP) Anyone using this that could give me hint at what I may be missing? Thanks! 73, Glenn N4LV |

Re: Database?? & printing
There is no password. Just double click on w4ijy.mdb and it should open automatically in Access. If not, something is wrong with your Access installation or your default file associations.

There have been many cases where a 3rd party has been able to take over qsl duties for a deceased ham.

I don't know if there is an 'official procedure', for such a continuation. But I have seen notices that a xyl or family member has turned over the logs to a friend or club member of the deceased. I and other QSL Manager Assoc. members took over possesion and qsl duties when one of the big qsl managers passed a few year back. On 9/2/2009 12:46:23 AM, Peter Jordahl (k5gm@...) wrote:

Re: Expired QSOs
Thanks Art and Dave,
I had not thought to also mark the electronic confirmations as 'X'. That will be easily done and solves the problem. I have several such QSO's; does anyone know whether others can QSL for an SK ham given that they have a log showing the QSO (I have in mind specifically 3A2GL, now SK) just as if they were a QSL manager? Obviously I should have kept more up-to-date with my QSLs! 73 Pete K5GM On Wed, 02 Sep 2009 01:42 +0000, "aa6yq" <aa6yq@...> wrote: I believe the current implementation to be correct: if you are so certainPete Jordahl, K5GM k5gm@... |
Pathfinder 4.5.7 is available
When performing a QRZ.com callbook lookup for DXKeeper, this release correctly decodes the new QRZ.com display format.
Note: I do not believe that the QRZ.com display format was changed to impede the free use of QRZ.com by applications like Pathfinder; if that were the goal, it would be easy to display the information in an image rather than as text, as is done on the HamCall web page. The owner of QRZ.com makes just as much revenue from the advertisements displayed by Pathfinder as he does when these ads are displayed by a conventional web browser. Pathfinder 4.5.7 is available via the DXLab Launcher and via <www.dxlabsuite.com/download.htm> 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

DXKeeper does not password-protect your log file; I don't know why Access is prompting your for a password. 73,It is all too easy to inadvertently modify your log file in Access, and the result could be unreadable by DXKeeper; thus I strongly suggest using Windows Explorer to make a copy of your log file and limiting your Access explorations to that copy. Also, you should direct Access to open the copy of your log file, not import it. Dave, AA6YQ |
Re: Expired QSOs
I believe the current implementation to be correct: if you are so certain that a QSL will never be confirmed that you don't want it counted as "worked" in your DXCC award progress, then set both "QSL Rcvd" and "LotW QSL Rcvd" to 'X' as Art suggests below; if you no longer wanted it counted towards your WAZ award progress, then also set "eQSL QSL Rcvd" to 'X'.

If you've written off a QSO in this way, I don't see the point of highlighting its existence in award progress displays and reports. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@..., Art Searle <w2nra@...> wrote:

Hi Pete,

If you mark both QSL Rcvd and LotW QSL Rcvd to X then it won't appear in DXView as W. For if both are not marked X, you haven't truly given up on the QSL. I do like your idea of X showing in DXView if only one is marked X. However I have a feeling that would be a major undertaking. Perhaps adding it as a feature request for when Dave has more time to implement it. 73 Art W2NRA "Keep to the Code!" w2nra.com On Sep 1, 2009, at 6:41 PM, Peter Jordahl <k5gm@...> wrote:

Expired QSOs
Dave,
I would like to suggest that if an entity (or band-entity) is represented only by a QSO or QSO's that have been marked 'X' in the QSL-RCVD box then the 'W' in the DXVIEW status listing should be either removed or changed to an 'X'. Yes, the contact was made, but hope of obtaining a QSL has now evaporated. Perhaps for that reason an 'X' in the status table would be preferable to showing a blank. The 'X' would be replaced with a 'W' when another, non-expired, QSO was made with that band-entity. In my case I had a 1978 40M QSO with ZD8HR (later N6HR) which resulted in a 'W' in the status view. He passed away in 2007 before I really started "data-mining" my log. I just inserted an 'X' in the QSL box but the 'W' persists. Obviously if one inserted hundreds of 'X's at one time it could cause a major subsequent but short-lived slowdown in DXKeeper,but I doubt that that happens. Thanks and 73 Pete K5GM Pete Jordahl, K5GM k5gm@... |
