Re: UN - Kazakhstan
DANNY DOUGLAS
ahhh yes then , my mistake, when someone talking about UN Im thinking United Nations, and couldnt figure why the problem, when the UN only has those two sites. I wish they would leave the prefixes alone. I figutred the UN had some troops over there or something. So many hot spots today, I simply cant keep up with who is doing what to whom.

Re: UN - Kazakhstan
DANNY DOUGLAS
I do not belive that the station is considered to be "in" the UN. It is just a UN site, in the country, and does not count for a new entity. The only UN stations, right now, are the Hqs in NY, and Geneva. I.E. the World Bank in Washington DC is NOT a counter for anything other than either Virginia or Maryland, the same as any staition located in DC. Thus, it will not count in the program except that way.

(I had previously tried changing the entity, the code, the prefix... and then changing it back. None of those allowed me to clear the QUE, and DXCC on the log QSO's tab just kept on blinking red. ) I did a Recompute and everything seems fine now... except for a gap in the Q# sequence.... no big deal as far as I can see.

So now the problem seems solved for my log, but I can't say I learned why it happened. One other thing..... UN7QF was red in SC, but I had UN Verified on that band and mode. I got it into the Capture screen by clicking on the SC entry. 73, Jerry K3BZ ----- Original Message -----

Re: Inclusion of SAM database
Keep in mind that DXKeeper lets you use QRZ.com as a callbook, which is entirely free (though Pathfinder will display advertisements). QRZ.com is a worldwide callbook; its not limited to US and Canadian callsigns.

If you're concerned about the time delay of a lookup over the internet while you're working a pileup, you can instead use DXKeeper's "batch callbook update" option to perform the callbook lookups after an operating session is over. Just filter the Log Page Display to contain the QSOs you want updated (e.g. with a date range) and the depress the CTRL key while clicking the CBA button on the Main window's Log QSOs tab. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@..., Web Williams <kr4wm@...> wrote:

Re: Inclusion of SAM database

Hi Dave,

WinEQF, the logging software I've been using, has the SAM database as an option. I'm not a programmer, so I have no idea what would be required to get DXLab to interface with SAM. I "grew up" with the SAM database, so prefer it. Plus like I said, it's priced much lower than other brands of callbook CDs. The folks at SAM did have an e-mail address, and very quickly answered an inquiry from me a few months back. I'll be happy to get it for you if you'd like if you want to inquire about the availability of a DLL. I don't suppose it would take much work to add another callbook to DXLab if such a DLL were available? I also have the RAC, I'm just not used to using it. This was the first copy of RAC (other than an old paper copy back in 1991) I've bought, and I only bought it because it was on sale for $16.00. Yeah, I'm cheap (on some things). That's how I can afford expensive radios (Ten Tec Orion II)! <GRIN> 73, -Web (KR4WM) +++I don't recall anyone ever requesting support for the SAM database. I |

Re: Problems with eQSL-database downloads
John Bastin
Wolf,
I'm not using BootCamp (I prefer having Windows and the Mac OS available at the same time), but I'm running Windows XP SP3 in Parallels under Mac OS X 10.6 (and up until last week was running under Mac OS X 10.5) and I'm not seeing any of the errors you're seeing. Both the LotW and the eQSL databases seem to be working just fine. This is running on a MacBook Pro 2.8GHz laptop. It's not a mini, but there's really no hardware difference that counts. What version of Mac OS X are you running? Have all the Software Updates been done? Might as well make sure everything is up-to-date on the Mac side, first. 73, John K8AJS jbastin@...
