QSL Sent/Received Status Cleared

wb2nvr <wb2nvr@...>
 

Hi Dave -

After running a Recompute, I noticed that my DXCC totals on the Summary dropped from 218 to 161. On checking further, I noticed that all of the Sent and Received selections (S, R, N...) in DXKeeper have been cleared. If a QSL was sent or received, the date is still shown, as is the QSL method.

I'm using DXK 7.9.5, and the latest entry in the Error Log is:

29-Jun-2009 20:45:11 > DXKeeper version 7.8.4

Can you configure a script so that I can reset the QSL status to Sent and Received, based on the date in the corresponding field?

Thanks in advance!

Error in plotting DX station in DXView

Phil & Anne Irons <irons@...>
 

Greetings, all...

Last night I was listening to VP2VQ on 20 metres, and thought I'd give him a try. When I selected that spot in SC, I noticed that the azimuth from my QTH was wrong. When I checked the World map plot, it showed that he was somewhere in the Indian Ocean! Taking a closer look at the DXV display, it turens out that for this station, the longitude is 65 degrees and some minutes EAST, rather than WEST. The DXCC database correctly shows -65 degrees, so there's a BUG somewhere...

Comments?

I have an easy solution Danny.
Abolish Phone and revert to CW/FSK only.

If a spot's notes mention a mode, then SpotCollector uses that mode in the
Spot Database Entry. If no mode is mentioned in the spot notes, then
SpotCollector determines the mode by consulting your sub-band definition
file, which specifies ranges of frequencies (sub-bands) and defines a mode
for each. You can modify your sub-band definition file to reflect the normal
40m activity in your part of the world, or you can create multiple sub-band
definitions files -- each reflecting conditions during a particular kind of
contest or during a particular season -- and select the appropriate one to
use during each operating session. This is described in

OK. Please do the following:

1. on the Config window's General tab, check the "log debugging info" box

2. wait until 4 or 5 more 6m spots are announced

3. on the Config window's General tab, uncheck the "log debugging info" box

4. place the errorlog.txt file from your SpotCollector folder and your Spot
Database File in a zip archive, attach it to an email message, and send it
to me via aa6yq@ambersoft.com so I can see what's going on. You'll find the
pathname of your Spot Database file in the "Spot Database File" panel at the
top of the Config window's "Spot Database" tab.

Hello Dave
Thanks for the prompt reply.

I must be doing something wrong in respect to 6M spots -

Under spot collector band filter - I have the following settings:

Enable Start/ End & max origin filter box - ticked on

correct

6M enable box is ticked

correct

For 6 metres I have no start or end UTC time (left blank) and have put max
origin of dx as 8000 (kilometres).

I have nothing inserted into the sunrise / sunset boxes and the two "Ignore"
boxes are unticked.

Correct (its not relevant to your 6m setting, but if you run DXView, the
sunrise and sunset boxes will be automatically kept up-to-date on a daily
basis).


Despite this I am still getting voice announcements for all 6 metre spots.

Does the Spot Database Display show 6m spots by stations outside your
8000 km radius?

On the Config window's Audio tab, do you have the "Alarm trigger" panel
set to Filtered?


Is the origin distance relating to the spotter or the dx station actually
spotted?

A Spot Database Entry's Origin distance is the closest distance between
any station that spotted the Entry's DX station and your QTH.

SpotCollector can be configured to
-- identify and announce needed 6m spots reported by stations whose distance
from your QTH does not exceed a specified value

-- identify and announce needed 160m and 80m spots based on time of day,
optionally referenced to your current and sunset time


For an introduction to filtering, see
<http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/SpotDatabaseFilter>


For a comprehensive description, see
<http://www.dxlabsuite.com/spotcollector/Help/SpotDatabase.htm>


SpotCollector automatically determines what's "needed" from your DXKeeper
log and from your specified DXing objectives; see

<http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/DXingObjectives>

Thus manually populating and maintaining a 338x14 cell matrix is
unnecessary. DXKeeper uses the same information to automatically generate
outgoing QSL cards or labels for QSOs whose confirmation would advance your
DXCC award progress.

You can configure audible announcements to be "unworked only" or
"unworked or unconfirmed", but in SpotCollector this applies to all bands
and modes: it cannot be made band-specific or mode-specific. I don't know if
SpotSpy relieves this constraint.

As you review the above material, don't hesitate to post questions or
concerns here.

Subject: [dxlab] Dangerously close to ZOMBIES!



I guess I messed up somewhere in the entire process.

The main reason is that I don't completely understand how to set up
different locations in DXKeeper. You may know that I have been roving
on 6 meters lately, through a few rare grids -- DM71, DM41, DM83, etc.

So I went into TQSL and created a location called DM71 and I used
TQSL to upload 3 QSO's from that grid into LoTW. Next, I created a
location called DM83 and used TQSL to upload 6 QSOs from that grid. So
far so good --

But when I went into DXKeeper and tried to get those QSOs into my
log, I was at a loss how to do so. Figuring I'd try SOMETHING, I
manually entered all of these same QSOs that I already uploaded to
LoTW.

Then, instead of simply changing the LoTW status to "Y", I didn't
think this whole arrangement would figure it all out, so I then used
DXKeeper to upload the same QSOs to LoTW. I hoped this would update
DXKeeper and keep LoTW the same. Instead, LoTW is still OK, but the
LoTW status on each of these QSOs is "U". I can go to the LoTW web site
and review all these QSOs and they show in the correct grid -- another
concern that has been salved -- but what should I do with DXKeeper?
Just wait a while and see if the status eventually updates? Or should I
change it manually???

Assuming that you entered the QSOs in DXKeeper exactly as you entered
them in TQSL, then on the Main window's QSL tab, set the "QSL Via" panel to
LotW and click the "Sync LotW QSOs" button. If LotW accepted the QSOs you
uploaded via TQSL, and if they exactly match what you re-entered in
DXKeeper, then each QSO's "LOTW QSL SENT" status should change from 'U'
(uploaded by not accepted) to 'Y' (accepted) once LotW processes your
uploaded QSOs. Then you can click "Sync LotW QSLs" to see what confirmations
were generated.

Entering those QSOs into TQSL and uploading them from there was not
problematic, but as you correctly determined, you must also enter them into
DXKeeper -- so it would have been less work (and less error-prone) to
capture them in DXKeeper and upload them from there. The correct set of
actions in this scenario is

1. direct TQSL to create station locations for DM71, DM41, DM82, etc. (as
you did)

2. in DXKeeper,

2a. create "my QTHs" for DM71, DM41, DM82, etc.

2b. log the QSOs in DXKeeper, assigning the appropriate "my QTH" identifier
for each

2c. filter the "Log Page Display" to contain only QSOs whose "my QTH"
identifier is DM71

2d. on the "QSL Config" window's LotW tab, set the TQSL panel's "station
location" to DM71

2e. on the Main window's QSL tab, set the "QSL Via" panel to LotW, and click
"Add Requested"; this should populate the QSL Queue with your QSOs made from
DM71

2f. click the "Upload to LotW" button

2g. repeat steps 2c through 2f for DM41, DM83, etc.

This dance is required because TQSL requires all QSOs in an uploaded
batch to be from the same Station Location. Automating the upload of a batch
of QSOs not all from the same station location is "on the list" -- it
requires adding an "LotW Station Location" to each "my QTH" so DXKeeper can
determine whether or not all QSOs to be uploaded are from the same station
location, and if they're not do the filtering, sub-dividing, and multiple
invocations of TQSL on your behalf.

I am unable to replicate this behavior -- with another PC on my network

I've emailed you and Jose N1BAA a new version of SpotCollector that
automatically restarts its web server after the Spot Database is pruned or
cleared. Please let me know if this eliminates the problems you each have
reported. Thanks....

Subject: [dxlab] DXLAB problem soved - another problem !!



Hi Dave,

thanks for your advice. It was not possible to install DXKeeper on my
nwo PC, it was a faulty Microsoft Windows Installer. I updated it and
now everything was OK.

I found another problem as follows:

I have a WEB PAD I use for emails and so on. I have activated the
WEB SERVER in SpotCollector. On my web pad i use the URL
192.168.123.202/spots and I can see the spots.

This works fine, but after a while the web werver does not produce
any more spots. The page itself is beeing refreshed, but no new spots
any more. I found out that there is a connection with the PRUNE
facility. When you prune or clear the spot database and restart the
web server, ist works fine gain - until the database fills again and
with 200-300 entries there are no more spots. What can be the reason
for that behaviour ? Is it perhaps a bug ?

I guess I messed up somewhere in the entire process.

The main reason is that I don't completely understand how to set up different locations in DXKeeper. You may know that I have been roving on 6 meters lately, through a few rare grids -- DM71, DM41, DM83, etc.

So I went into TQSL and created a location called DM71 and I used TQSL to upload 3 QSO's from that grid into LoTW. Next, I created a location called DM83 and used TQSL to upload 6 QSOs from that grid. So far so good --

But when I went into DXKeeper and tried to get those QSOs into my log, I was at a loss how to do so. Figuring I'd try SOMETHING, I manually entered all of these same QSOs that I already uploaded to LoTW. Then, instead of simply changing the LoTW status to "Y", I didn't think this whole arrangement would figure it all out, so I then used DXKeeper to upload the same QSOs to LoTW. I hoped this would update DXKeeper and keep LoTW the same. Instead, LoTW is still OK, but the LoTW status on each of these QSOs is "U". I can go to the LoTW web site and review all these QSOs and they show in the correct grid -- another concern that has been salved -- but what should I do with DXKeeper? Just wait a while and see if the status eventually updates? Or should I change it manually???

Thanks, Dave -- and just keep calling me confused!
