Re: Pathfinder - not working..

 

Hello Dave!
I faced with such oddity in DXKeeper- I have a QSO with 9U0A, when I paste this call to Filter pane
(Filter:Call=9U0A) and then click Call button, nothing does appear in Log Page Display, but if I click
DXCC button the QSO does appear. What is wrong?

Re: JD1BMM curiosity in SC and DXV

 

If you create a new override for JD1BMM, then when you set the override's DXCC entity to Minami Torishima, SpotCollector or DXView will automatically populate the other components of the override: CQ zone, ITU zone, IOTA tag, and grid square. Its the grid square that SpotCollector uses to compute the heading (bearing, azimuth) from your QTH.

I suspect that you created your JD1BMM override before SpotCollector and DXView were updated to allow the specification of CQ and ITU zones, IOTA tags, and grid squares in overrides. As a result, your JD1BMM override does not specify a grid square, which is why SpotCollector isn't computing a heading for JD1BMM spot database entries.

To fully populate your JD1BMM override, its probably quickest to simply delete it and re-create it.

Hallo Vlad,

Firstly, I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your brother. I know that
must have been hard for you.

Thanks for the JD1BMM info, but I already have that call listed in the way
you describe in SC.
I think I will try to delete that line, and re-enter it, just to see.
But, SC does recognise it as MT, as it shows as JD1-M in the DXCC column.

Most confusing!

73 for now

Re: WAC report

Art Searle
 

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.
73

Bill Moore NC1L
Awards Branch Manager
- - - - - - - - - - -

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.

73 Art W2NRA
"Keep to the Code!"

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.

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 the
technique.

Re: Complete DX Lab Uninstall for clean re-install?

 

I totally disagree Ben. If you download and install the Launcher program as suggested in the Installation instructions, then the rest of the applications can be installed from Launcher with a single button click. Uninstalling, is done via Add/Remove programs in the Windows control panel which is exactly the same procedure used by every other installed Windows program.

What creates a mess are people who don't read and follow instructions and start removing files or eliding the registry without having a clue about what they are doing. The same actions would create the same mess no matter what application you consider, "Microsoft Office" for example.

DXLab suite has one of the most comprehensive and easy to use install and upgrade facilities I have used. The only potentially confusing part of the operation is checking to see if you have already installed a version of "Launcher". This is pretty clearly explained on the DXLabs home page. Once you have a copy of Launcher installed, then installing or upgrading the other components fantastically easy.
