Perhaps ARRL should provide legitimate bureau staff access to the
member directory (with e-mail) rather than require amateurs to
expose themselves to additional unsolicited commercial (spam)
e-mail in order to receive cards from the bureau.

In any case, e-mail should not be necessary if users keep envelopes
(with current address) on file with the bureau. We certainly did
not have access to e-mail 40 years ago when I was a letter manager
with the 8th area bureau. In the worst case a post card to the
station's Callbook address was sufficient.

waste postage and envelopes to try to contact buro users. That gets to be a

I removed my e-mail from QRZ several years ago (what was there was
significantly out of date) and receive very few "electronic QSLs"
(a.k.a "spam QSLs"). It also seems to limit the level of amateur
related marketing (spam) e-mail.

Interoperate with DXLab Applications - Getting data from SpotCollector

Hi All

?

Looking for some help with a C# program in Visual Studio I am working on where I want to get the callsign from the SpotCollector for the spot that I have selected.? The same concept that DXView gets the callsign to look up when a spot is selected. I have read the ¡°Building Application that Interoperate with DXLab Application¡± webpage and downloaded the DXLab Test, CSharp.NET Sample and VB.New Sample.? I have used them to send data to commander to change the frequency and mode of my radio but I cannot figure out how to get data from Spot Collector.?

?

Can anyone point me in the right direction to help me with this.

Thanks in advance

I have 2453 confirmed dxcc challenge qso's and 2590 worked. A delta of 137.

What report can I run to identify the 137 qso's so I can attempt to get them confirmed. There may be more than 137 qso's as I probably have qso's with multiple stations for the same dxcc/band. This would be a good thing as it would give me multiple chances to confirm the dxcc/band.
