Re: Spot Collector Spot Data Base Display Font Size Change
I am able to use font 11 in DXkeeper and it comes back after application termination. Further tests on Spot Collector, it would not hold Font 10 either. Upon termination, went back to font 9. But, font 12 holds after termination.
This is not a big deal, Dave. Thanks Don

But I do have one more burning question..... when the heck do you get the time to play the piano? + Sustained performance requires balance. + While I do work on DXLab pretty much every day, I also chase DX (mostly on 160m and 30m these days), practice piano (mostly Chopin and Rachmaninoff) for an hour or two, take pictures, raise blueberries (5 very happy bushes), spend time with my XYL (we both love watching movies), and (gasp) sleep 7 or 8 hours every night. Seriously, quality sleep is essential to long-term health. + What's the trick? 1. provide an online forum where users are comfortable asking questions and seeking help, and where experienced users are motivated to participate and answer questions 2. provide comprehensive, accessible documentation 3. immediately correct reported defects 4. keep the source code clean and well-organized 5. after making a change, step through execution of the modified code, and then invited motivated users to help with the testing 6. include diagnostic tools that make it possible to see what's happening on the user's system (the errorlog.txt mechanism) 73, Dave, AA6YQ

LOTW knows all. Don’t do anything. Just import your N1MM log. Usually I then filter the log with the contest dates, export, and send that file to TQSL. Probably a little more cumbersome than it could be, but foolproof. + That's not necessary, Bill. Assuming you have DXKeeper configured as recommended in <https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/ConfigureLotW> + this simple sequence on the Main window's QSL tab is sufficient: 1., set the "QSL Via" panel to LoTW 2. click the "Add Requested" button 3. click the Upload to LoTW" button 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Re: Importing contest logs rituals

Hello all....After participating the RTTY test the past weekend, I would like to import my contest log from N1MM to DXKeeper. I am also currently entering my old paper logs into DxKeeper with the idea that I will apply for some of the basic awards WAS, WAC, DXCC etc after I upload all of these logs to LOTW. My question is therefore, when I am doing the import into DXLab, should I be using the CBA button to fill in all the state info etc for the American Hams I just worked (otherwise how will LOTW know where these guys are?) for the sake of WAS?? + When you submit a QSO to LoTW, it ignores any information you provide about the location of your QSO partner; LoTW exclusively obtains this information from the "Station Location" that your QSO partner used to submit your QSO to LoTW. + After your QSO partner submits a QSOs that matches a QSO you submitted, subsequent execution of DXKeeper's "Sync LoTW QSLs" function will update your logged QSO with the location information submitted by your QSO partner. Discrepancies between what you logged and what your QSO partner reported are handled as described in the "Handling of LoTW Detail Inconsistencies" section of <https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/DownloadLotW> + Thus for QSOs confirmed via LoTW, the "new" information provided by a callbook lookup would be your QSO partner's name, and postal address, and (for some DXCC entities) a primary and secondary administrative subdivision. + Callbook information is more helpful for stations that do not QSL via LoTW, but since some ops relocate, one must be careful about updating QSOs made "long ago" with current callbook information. A QSO with me prior to 1997 was with Silicon Valley, not the Boston suburbs - but a callbook update would update the QSO to reflect my current Massachusetts location. + Note that you can direct DXKeeper to augment imported QSOs with information obtained from its primary and secondary subdivision databases, its DXCC database, and the Callbook selected on the Configuration window's Callbook tab. See <https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxkeeper/Help/Import.htm#Options> 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Re: Windows 10 users: heads up!

sorry- i replied to a previous post that would have explained the context for this but it didn’t attach for some reason. It was from Dave’s “how to deal with Windows” documentation, specifically on. how to prevent a Windows update from overwriting current port drivers.

Re: Windows 10 users: heads up!
Russ Ravella
Hello,
Does anybody know how to do this (prevent Windows from automatically replacing com drivers during updates) with the current Windows 10 version (1909) ? These instructions are sufficiently outdated that I can't find a way to translate them into current terms. Also, lots of time trying to find something on the internet proved unsuccessful. Microsoft, as usual, seems to have removed the option that previously existed but I think it can be done directly in the registry. I just don't know how to find it there. Thanks, Russ, KR6W

Re: Spot Collector Spot Data Base Display Font Size Change

+ AA6YQ comments below
You will figure this out. I proceeded with the logging ritual. I set the font size to 12. When I terminated Spot Collector and re-started it, it came back as 12. Hmmm? So, I recreated what I was trying to do and set the font size to 11. I terminated it and it came back as 9. I repeated the test multiple times. Set at 12, terminate, restart and it came back as 12. Set at 11, terminate, restart and it comes back as 9. It doesn't like font size eleven. The registry seems ok with 12, so it must be something odd about font 11. + I'm guessing that the font you've selected isn't available on your system in size 11, so the next smaller available font is being selected. There's no code in SpotCollector that does this; it's probably the functionality provided by Microsoft to manage fonts. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Once again I didn't ask the question very clearly! I have a total of 5 MYQTHIDs and other then this new one, I don't know either the start or stop dates for the other 4. I was thinking that I could create another Workspace and import the last backup that had all the proper MYQTHIDs. Then "import", somehow, all the QSOs from this new MYQTHIDs into that log. Does that make sense? + I suggest that you 1. Make a copy of your 2015 backup 2. Direct DXKeeper to open the copy of your 2015 backup that you made in step 1, and then inspect the logged QSOs to determine the date ranges for each of your myQTHs. 3. To determine the date ranges for your QTHs after the last QSO in your 2015 backup, log in to your LoTW account, and select the "Your QSOs" tab. The "Select QSOs to List" box's "Start Date" and "End Date" will enable you to query LoTW for QSOs (not QSLs!) made during a particular month and year: <https://lotw.arrl.org/lotw-help/view-accepted-qsos#ViewSpecificQSOs> + As illustrated in this screen shot <https://lotw.arrl.org/lotw-help/data/uploads/qsoqueryresults.jpg> + the first column of the results table is a Details hyperlink that when double clicked will display theeGrid square, State, and County from which you made the QSO (assuming you included this information in the "Station Location" you employed to submit the QSO to LoTW). By probing LoTW in this way, you should be able to determine date ranges for all of your myQTHs used after the last logged QSO in your 2015 log backup. 3. When you have date ranges for all your myQTHs, then 3a. direct DXKeeper to open your current log 3b. backup you current log (Configuration window, Log tab, Backup button) 3c. for each myQTH from which you operated, 3c-I Use the "UTC Filter" panel in the "Advanced Sorts, Filters, and Modifiers" window to filter the Log Page Display to contain only QSOs made from a specific myQTH 3c-II Use the "Modify QSOs" panel in the "Advanced Sorts, Filters, and Modifiers" window to change the MYQTHID of each QSO in the Log Page Display to the correct myQTHID for that date range 73, Dave, AA6YQ
