Re: cba and qrz
Is this happening on every callsign or is it possible that the callsign you are trying to lookup really isn't in the QRZ.com database? All US and Canadian calls are in the QRZ.com database because they are copied from the FCC and RAC databases. However, calls for the rest of the world are entered by the callsign holders themselves so obviously they are not all there.

The IC-9100 at Tokyo HamFair 2009
Thanks to Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ and Oba-san JA7UDE:
<> This is Icom's third transceiver with a direct USB interface for transceiver control and audio. I've not seen a manual, but I suspect this transceiver's CI-V instruction set is identical to that of the IC-7600. So if one appears on your doorstep, use Notepad to open the radios.txt file in your Commander folder, insert this line: radio=IIC-9100, Address=XX, DualWatch=T, VFOSel=F, VFOEqual=F, VFOExchange=F, MainSubSel=T, MainSubEqual=T, MainSubExchange=T, Filter0=T, PTT=T, CW-R=T, RTTY-R=T, Smeter=T, PBT=T (where XX is the IC-9100's default CI-V address) save your changes, fire up Commander, set the Radio selector on the Config window's General tab to IC-9100, and you should be good to go. 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

Subject: Re: [dxlab] printing mailing labels Dave AA6YQ wrote: can be affixed to an outgoing QSL card?Thanks Dave - I need both! +++ OK. The basic procedure is 1. set the "QSL Via" panel on the Main window's QSL tab to either 2-column labels or 3-column labels, as desired 2. populate the QSL Queue with QSOs for which labels are to be generated 3. invoke the Address Editor to specify an address for each QSL Queue entry rendered in red font (double-click the entry) 4. create an Address File and review it to ensure that all addresses are correctly formatted 4. print QSL labels from the QSL Queue 5. print address labels from the QSL Queue +++Regarding step 2, DXKeeper can at present automatically populate the QSL Queue with QSOs needed for the ARRL DXCC family or awards, and for the CQ WAZ family of awards; for other awards, you must manually add needed QSOs to the QSL queue. I'd been thinking about providing the option to automatically populate the QSL Queue with needed QSOs when generating a progress report for the other awards supported by DXKeeper; each of these reports lists "counters" for which there's a worked-but-unconfirmed QSO, so it would be straightforward to insert each worked-but-unconfirmed QSO into the QSL Queue rather than require the user to manually locate and add each unconfirmed QSO to the QSL Queue. The challenge is providing a way to let the user specify whether or not the QSL Queue should be populated with unconfirmed QSOs when generating a progress report -- without displaying an annoying prompt each time a progress report is generated, and without having the QSL Queue be unintentionally populated by subsequent progress reports because the user forgot to disable the option. Your request prompted me to think harder about this, and I came up with the idea of adding an "Add Unconfirmed to QSL Queue" checkbox in the lower-left corner of the Main window's "Check Progress" tab, as shown here: <> +++When you start DXKeeper, this box will be unchecked. If you check this box before initiating a progress report, then any QSOs identified as needed but unconfirmed in this report will be added to the QSL Queue -- and the box will automatically be unchecked after the report is generated. Thus anyone not interested in generating outgoing QSLs when running a progress report won't be bothered by this new capability; if you do want to generated needed QSLs, check the box before clicking the button to generate the progress report. +++I have constructed a new version of DXKeeper that implements this capability, but only for the VUCC progress report. I'll email it to you shortly, so you can give it a try. If it works out, I'll extend this capability to all the other progress reports that DXKeeper generates (except DXCC and WAZ). If anyone else would like to try this new version of DXKeeper, send email to me at aa6yq@... from an email account that will accept a zip archive containing an executable file as an attachment (e.g. not gmail). +++If you haven't generated labels before, Tad, you'll need to configure DXKeeper to correctly print the labels of your choice using the "QSL Labels" and "Envelopes" tabs on the "QSL Config" window. I suggest loading your printer with inexpensive paper while you do this. The procedure is described in < with Paper>, but don't hesitate to post any questions or concerns here. 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

DXKeeper 8.1.6 is available
This release
- when synchronizing QSOs or QSLs with LotW, QSOs reported by LotW whose Mode is DATA are considered to match a logged QSO whose mode "counts" as RTTY for ARRL awards (tnx to Bob WU9Q) - updates the AwardInfo.htm, index.htm, Log.htm, LogCompletedMain.htm, LogNewCapture.htm, LogNewMain.htm, ModifyLog.htm, Progress.htm, QSL.htm, Scripts.htm, and ViewEditLog.htm documentation files If your are uploading digital mode QSOs to LotW where the digital mode is not yet supported by LotW (e.g. JT65A), configure TQSL to "map" these unsupported digital modes to DATA. The above enhancement allows DXKeeper to locate these QSOs in your log when directed to synchronize with LotW; previously, DXKeeper would report such QSOs as not matching any logged QSO because of the change in mode introduced by TQSL.
