WinWarbler Call Insert

 

Good Evening,
This is a question I've had for a long time; but have been unsuccessful in
finding the answer.
When using the WW logging capabilites, how do I get a spot from
sc into the Receive Panel of WW. Presently I have to fatfinger all the data
into the appropriate boxes. I'm sure that Dave has incorporated this into
the suite; but I'll be darned if I can find how to turn it on.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and 73

Re: WAC report

 

The WAC award info on the ARRL website says LoTW credits cannot be used.

"... 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. ...."

That would seem to suggest that once you get your LoTW QSOs credited toward DXCC you could submit
an application to have those credits applied to WAC.

73, Larry W6NWS

Dave,

Since now the WAC (and 5B-WAC) may be obtained from one's DXCC accout

(Application forms with cards credited in a DXCC account can be sent to WAC
by e-mail or fax along with payment noted on the form)

can you modify the provided WAC report to show LOTW status as well as card
status?

Do LotW confirmations now count towards the WAC award? I have not seen an
announcement to this effect from the ARRL.

You can direct DXKeeper to generate a WAC progress report that does
include LotW confirmations: on the Config window's Award tab, check the
"Include LotW confirmations in VUCC, WAC, & Maidenhead progress before
running the progress report.

Dave, AA6YQ

Hello Dave,

I did send you a direct reply on the new PF version.

About the clearing of the capture window, i mix a lot the SC use and simply
turning the dial by hand. So to evade a erraneous logging i prefer to clear
the capture window.
But okay , any new entry in the call field clears all the others , i can get used
to this , no problem.

Hello Dave ,

One minor for PF : When focus is transferred from another window to pf
window the cursor indicator is visible in the 'enter call' field.
However when focus was in pf window (while checking out a qrz entry for
example) and you return the focus to the entry field of pf by clicking in it
the cursor indicator is invisible making editing of a call already in it a
little bit difficult.

My wish for pf : To transfer a call from fe SC to PF you will have to double
click a SC row , at the same time the DXK capture window is filled. How
about just sending the call to pf on selection in SC, i like to check a call
for fun in qrz via PF but need to clear the capture window every time
afterwards.

Best regards,

Bernard Grijpstra PA3FZV

Hi again,

During those days I look up to the spot collector and notice somthing
interesting (and maybe wrong)!?
Since my antena working good only on 40 and 20 m I saw that on 40 m on
cluster almost every spot is marked as it working on CW mode... (ex:
hb9vello 7067 CW...)
I do not know why, is it band plan changed, or there is some mistake in my
configuration?

If a spot's notes specify a mode, then the spot database entry created
for that spot will specify that mode. If no mode is specified, SpotCollector
refers to the sub-band definition file that you've specified. A default
sub-band definition file is provided with SpotCollector, but is not
appropriate for all regions of the world. You can create a custom sub-band
definition file, in fact you can create multiple sub-band definition files
(e.g. one for use during CW contests, another for use during RTTY contests)
and choose the one most appropriate. See

<
and Definition panel>

Turned out to be a hardware problem. The Signalink interface has some
internal jumpers to configure which signals go on which wires in the cable
to the rig. One of the jumpers was loose.

I'm glad that you got it working again, Mark, but I don't understand how
a loose jumper in the interface would cause the Signalink's "USB Audio Code"
to not appear registered as a Windows soundcard.

Re: Pathfinder will not auto populate WW Name & QTH details.

 

OK, lets debug it one step at a time.

On the Callbook tab of DXKeeper's Config window, make sure that the
"Automatically use callbook data to initialize new QSOs" option is enabled.

With Pathfinder running, type AA6YQ into DXKeeper's Capture window, and
strike the Enter key. Do my name and QTH appear in the appropriate Capture
window boxes?

WinWarbler cannot use QRZ.com as a callbook unless both DXKeeper and

configured for "QRZ.com via Pathfinder".

As a result of changes to QRZ.com last week, the QRZ.com URL on
Pathfinder's Config window must be set to

Re: Erratic function of Commander 5.8.7

 

Upgrade releases do not make any changes to Add/Remove programs. All they do is replace some already existing files. DXLab programs are registered during the installation of the initial full release which in the case of Commander is V 5.8.7. Did you install version 5.8.7 and then upgrade it to V 7.9.2? If you use Launcher to install the applications this will all be taken care of for you but if you install manually then you have to follow the installation directions do it yourself.
