DXK CBA Tab
Jim-N7ESU
Previously when I have a logged qso and hit the CBA tab it populates info from QRZ with no problems and worked great...now all of a sudden when I hit the CBA tab not only does it populate like normal but also brings up a "Notebook page" labeled
N7ESU Callbook Lookup Actions Report 23-Nov-2022 and has name and address along with all previous qso's with that station. I dont know if something got check marked by accident or what but after looking around cant figure out how to stop the note pad from coming up. Any help appreciated Jimi n7esu |

Re: Spot Collector - show unworked only

I'm trying to get Spot Collector to only show unworked spots for zones and states. I'm finally starting to go after my WAS across all bands and fill in needed zones for the WARC bands as well (band and mode for those). The problem is that all my worked-but-not-confirmed states and zones are still being entered in blue and setting off alarms. I'm sure 99% of these will come in on LoTW in the next few weeks or months so I don't want to keep seeing a torrent of blue entries in Spot Collector. I know there's a setting for this somewhere, but I just can't find it anywhere.

Re: Skimmer-sourced Spots not blocked by Spot Collector Prefilter Cfg
Dean W8ZF
I sent Dave an error log and he pointed out that the box was not checked to discard spots with a source that ends in -# (skimmer spots) in the prefilter dialog box.
To my chagrin, he was correct. I checked the box and it now functions as it's supposed to. I have not idea how the box got UNchecked, but that's what was wrong. Dave, thank you! 73, Dean W8ZF |

Re: DARC DOK Award database
Hi Dave and the group,

Yes, those instructions are great for those that confirm on air, but that's not always possible or practical with digital modes. The one single advantage of using the DARC Community Logbook is that when DL's upload there - and a great many do - that is enough to be able to claim the DOK towards the award. You can supplement that with paper cards that then need checking, but does add an extra layer of housekeeping and expense. It is just an alternative option, and one which I find quite useful. 73 de Phil GU0SUP -----Original Message-----
