I have Spot Split Frequency turned on. ?In the spot note all I see is FT8. ?Anyways, I see no reason to spot the transmit frequency in FT8. ?Also, in my log the receive frequency is the same as the transmit frequency for all my FT8 contacts. ?I am using JTAlert as the interface with DXLab.
+ FT8 is a simplex mode. The fact that your transmitter's frequency may be offset to ensure a higher audio frequency is irrelevant to other stations seeking to work the station whose frequency you spot.? + Spotting the exact frequency of an FT8 station is less critical than when spotting a station operating in SSB, CW, or RTTY. Almost all FT8 ops use WSJT-X or a derivative of it, and thus need only the station's callsign and band; WSJT-X will report the station's frequency when it is next decoded. ? ? ? ?73, ? ? ? ? ? ?

Obviously, this will not help me but I think it would help others who see the spot.

Hello, I changed my callsign and would like the QSOs I made with the old callsign to be counted. What do I need to do to do that?
+ None of the award tracking mechanisms in DXKeeper are sensitive to the "Operator Callsign" and "Owner Callsign" items logged with each QSO. Thus no action on your part is required.

Re: IOTA Chasers: the IOTA tag for FK8HM in QRZ is incorrect
That¡¯s not unusual. ?I¡¯ve run across quite a few erroneous IOTA tags in the QRZ database call details tab. ?Some are probably where an activator visited an island and intended to remove it after the activation, but forgot. ?One recent visitor to the Bahamas I worked thought he was on NA-113. ?He was close, but actually on NA-001. ?I¡¯ve tried to nicely point out those errors a couple times, but have mostly been ignored, so I stopped. ?I¡¯ve only recently begun compiling a short list of the ones I find.

updated GridDXCC, eQSL AG, LoTW, and RDA databases are available ...
... via the Databases tab of DXView's Configuration window. Terminate DXKeeper, WinWarbler, and SpotCollector before directing DXView to update
these databases.
?
Because the GridDXCC database has been updated, you must also terminate and restart DXView after completing the update.
The GridDXCC database is what enables DXView to update it's Main window's "Location" box when you double-click in its World Map. This update of the Grid DXCC database by Joe W4TV improves the location information for 26 DXCC entities and U.S. States. Thanks Joe!

Thanks Joe. I set my dates as MM-DD-YYYY way back in 2007 and have always had it that way. It was an optional way to do the dates then and that is what I was used to. I don't know why that is not an option now, I just looked, but it was the way it was set up when I first started using it and those years. Also, the <> does work as NOT EQUAL. The first part of my expression work perfectly it was the last part that didn't work.
