Re: DXK - county look-up
I suspect that what Dave was getting at is that the State/County etc. may be dependent on the date of the QSO because the person has moved and QRZ.com will only show the present day information. I could have worked you while you were in Maricopa county Arizona but QRZ.com shows you in in McHenry county Illinois.

SC and WW Questions

DXK - county look-up
I'm entering some QSOs from old logs and have a subscription to the QRZ data
lookup. I'm getting an error message that "County returned by callbook lookup doesn't match a known US county: AZ,Maricopa" for example. That's my previous county so I know it's valid. Do I have a configuration option set incorrectly? Jim N7US |

Re: WinWarbler Call Insert
DANNY DOUGLAS
Up at the top line in SpotCollector, do you see the letters WW between the set of brackets (along with CC, DXV etc)? And in the top line of WinWarbler do you see SC inside the brackets? If either of those do not show, it means that SC and WW are not talking to each other. You might need to close either one of them (or both), and reinitiate to get them talking.

confirmations are acceptable for the WAC award, I don't believe its appropriate for DXKeeper's WAC progress report to by default include LotW confirmations. As I pointed out earlier, DXKeeper does provide an option that when enabled causes DXKeeper's WAC progress report to include LotW confirmations, so those wondering what their status will be once LotW confirmations are accepted for this award can easily satisfy their curiosity. 73, Dave, AA6YQ -----Original Message-----

Re: WinWarbler Call Insert
No, the rest of us are all double clicking spots to automatically fill in the WW log fields - we never type anything. I make many QSO's without ever touching the keyboard. We just need to figure out why that's not working for you. Dave will be in contact with you to debug the problem.
