Hello,

it's me again. I am up with DXLab since DOKs possible, now I got a lot
of questions.

Is it possible to set the default to fill in QSL_sent "R" and
QSL_rcvd"R" depending on:
* first band/mode then send a card and get one
* band/mode allready confirmed, no card sending, no requested to receive.

I mean, after logging the qso, that the fileds are filled up
automatically with the correct one?

DXKeeper provide signficant automation for QSLing to obtain confirmation for
ARRL DXCC/Challenge and TopList awards; this is described in

http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxkeeper/Help/QSL.htm

and

http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxkeeper/Help/Progress.htm

If you want all QSOs logged via the Capture window to default to setting
QSL_SENT to 'R' -- meaning that the invoking the "Add Requested" function
will populate the QSL Queue with every QSO you log -- then on the "QSL
Config" window's General tab, check the "Preset 'QSL Requested' checkbox"
box.

Andy,

I usually run into the same problem after importing several hundred
QSO's from a contest. DXKeeper can find the one's I really need, but
I also like to send a card out the first time I work someone. To
lessen the workload, I've started running a script after each contest.
It sets QSL_Sent to N if I already have a card, or it's someone who
doesn't respond to QSL requests. Here are a couple of sample lines
from the script.

Filter Call = 'AA1AAA' and QSL_Sent = '' and band = '40m' and mode = 'CW'
Modify QSL_Sent N
Filter Call = 'ZZ1ZZZ' and QSL_Sent = ''
Modify QSL_Sent N

The first two lines will set QSL_Sent to N for any new QSO's with
AA1AAA on 40m CW. The second set of lines will do the same for ZZ1ZZZ
for all bands and modes. The QSL_Sent = '' is important otherwise you
would end up modifying QSO's that have QSL_Sent = 'Y' or 'V' which
would be bad.

Building the script initially will take some work, but using the
filters and report generator in DXKeeper, you can get a list of call
signs. Then with a text editor and a lot of cutting and pasting of
the commands around the call sign, it's not too bad.

After running the script I can filter on QSL_Sent = '' and have
significantly fewer QSO's to check.

As with any script make sure you backup your log before running it.
Also, I haven't tried this with version 6.

If you only want to send qsl cards to Not worked on Band Or Mode , then
use the MBUtil.. (http://dxlab.ky1v.com/addins/bmutil/index.htm).


After launching this tool, BMUtil selects only the needed qso's and
add"s them to the printqueu.

Darn! I looked at that utility and didn't see W9OL anywhere on
there! hi hi

Firebrick, this looks like it's "right up your alley!"

Koen, many thanks. Had no idea something like this even existed!

I may be 'out of the pail', ...but why would I want a utility to send a qsl to
someone 'Not Worked on Band or Mode'.

If I didn't 'work' them, aren't they going to return my qsl marked 'NIL'???
