Entering incomplete QSO info in DXKeeper
Phil Deaver
I recently applied for DXCC via a LOTW request. LOTW also let me link in a previous callsign and I received an additional 30 countries credit from the 1970's. The 1970's countries are listed as MIXED (in LOTW) but have no band or mode data, only a date and no time is listed either. I was trying to enter them in DXKeeper (to track them) and even though I uncheck the box "Flag Invalid Callsigns", I still get flashing red messages next to mode and TX band windows. Is there a way to track these countries in DXKeeper? (maybe just make up band and mode info?)

In DXKeeper -> Config -> Awards ... lower left check "Credit only QSO Creation". Unfortunately, "Credit only QSO Creation" is not documented in the Help File. + Not true. Credit-only QSO Creation" is described in the reference documentation here: <https://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxkeeper/Help/Progress.htm#Generating%20Credit-only%20QSOs> + Alternatively, click one of DXKeeper's Help buttons, and navigate to Checking and Managing Award Progress > Generating Submissions and Managing Award Credits > DXCC > Managing DXCC Credits > Generating Credit-only QSOs + I doubt that the learning curve required to master the downloading of DXCC credits is justified by the automated creation of ~30 QSOs. 73, Dave, AA6YQ |
