Re: QRZ subscription value?
Dave, following your instructions got my DXK running properly again.? ?But when I logged some new QSOs and attempted upload to LoTW a similar problem came up:
?
In DXK QSL tab...
<Add Requested> <Enable All>
LoTW operations panel...
<Upload to LoTW>
all the QSO's enabled are immediately disabled and this error message plays for each:
?
Disabled QSL Queue entry for 6Y7EI on 2025-03-14 at 21:02:17 - station location "Williston, Florida" specified in QSO's QTHID item "williston" doesn't match station location "Williston" selected on the QSL Configuration window's LotW tab
?
Seems like somewhere there is a QTHID "williston," with station location "Williston, Florida" that is accessed when trying to upload to LoTW.
?
Can you help once again?? I really appreciate your patience...

spot with notes from WinWarbler?
Can I spot with notes from WinWarbler?
say working a POTA station... I log him from WW then go to dxkeeper
right click on his call to get the spot with notes to come up and?
inform that he is pota.? I did not find in on a quick search.
I did expand the layout on WW and did find I have a POTA window
Tx for the software... before the suite...and learn something new

Re: Recovering from crash - DXKeeper QSOs upload to LoTW error
+ AA6YQ comments below
When uploading QSOs to LoTW, previously logged QSOs recovered to DXKeeper from OneDrive log backup are uploading to LoTW without
any errors.
However, New QSOs, logged since the recovery are being disabled thus:
"Disabled QSL Queue entry for 9K2GR on 2025-03-13 at 23:22:08 - station location "Williston, Florida" specified in QSO's QTHID item
"w4ndx" doesn't match station location "W4NDX" selected on the QSL Configuration window's LotW tab"
I have chased this around until I am dizzy. How do I resolve this?
+ Your 9K2GR QSO specifies a "myQTH ID" of "W4NDX".
+ On the Main window's "my QTHs" tab, the "my QTH" whose "myQTH ID" is "W4NDX" specifies and LoTW "Station Location" of Williston,
Florida". That's confusing!
+ However, in the TQSL panel at the bottom of the "QSL Configuration" window's LoTW tab, you have the "station location" selector
set to "W4NDX" -- which is not the same as the "Williston, Florida" specified in the LoTW selector in your "W4NDX" myQTH.
+ You evidently have one "LoTW Station Location" named W4NDX and another named "Williston, Florida". That's confusing!
+ The confusion stems from your defining a "myQTH" whose "ID" is "WN4DX" and that species an LoTW Station Location of "Williston,
Florida".
+ A callsign is a poor choice for a "myQTH ID" because it doesn't imply a geographic location. A callsign is also a poor choice for
an "LoTW Station Location" - for the same reason. Both should specify a geographic location, like a village, city, or town name.
+ If all QSOs you make from Williston Florida are not made from the same location in that city, then I'll need to understand all of
the locations from which you make QSOs before suggesting a course of action.
+ If all QSOs you make from Williston Florida are made from the same location in that city, then I suggest that you change the ID of
your Williston Florida myQTH to "Williston", and change the name of your WN4DX LoTW "Station Location" to "Williston".
+ If you understand this and agree, then
1. backup your log (so you have a quick recovery path if you don't like the outcome)
2. in TQSL, change the name of your W4NDX "Station Location" to Williston
3. in DXKeeper,
3a. in the TQSL panel at the bottom of DXKeeper's "QSL Configuration" window's LoTW tab, click the Update button, and then select
Williston in the "Station Location" selector
3b. on the Main window's "Log QSOs" tab, filter the Log Page Display to contain all of your QSOs whose "myQTH ID" is WN4DX ; double
check this, as you'll be changing the "myQTH ID" of all of the QSOs in the "Log Page Display" to Williston
3c. on the Main window's "my QTHs" tab,
3c1. select the Entry whose myQTHID is WN4DX
3c2. change this Entry's ID to Williston
3c3. change this Entry's LoTW selector to Williston
3c4. click the Save button
3c5. make sure the Williston row in the table of myQTHs is selected
3c6. in the "Update QSOs in Log Page Display" panel, click the "Set myQTH ID" button; this will change the "my QTH ID" item of every
QSO in the Log Page Display to "Williston"
+ Now all QSOs that you log with a "myQTH ID" of Williston will be uploaded to LoTW using your Williston "Station Location".

Running W10 22H2 ... I have not seen anything here and know that this
IS NOT A WINDOWS SUPPORT LIST but, for better or worse, Windows is the
dongle that makes the DXLab suite work (N1MM+ Logger, too, and if it
wasn't for these two software packages ...)
I've seen the traffic about W11's crapulence of late but don't
remember seeing anything about W10 ...
Oh, and I have no plans to take the forced upgrade to W11 come fall ...
