I’m trying to help a ?friend with a large 96,000 QSO DXK log that has somehow been largely duped. +45,000 dupes.

?

I tried having him run through the prescribed Wiki process and got to the point of hitting the CTRL-DELETE button.

?

Prior to that, he made a backup, set his sort to UTC, set the Duplicates Range to 0, and then hit the FILTER button.

?

After 3 hours of scanning, the process finished and he got an indication ?there were 45,000 or so Dupes.

I didn’t see the exact message, as I was helping him remotely over the phone.

?

But after hitting the CTRL-Delete, ?and the Log Panel display going empty ,then hitting the remove filters “X” to bring up his QSO’s again, the dupes were still there?

?

I’m in the process of running the process again, but it’s probably going to take about 3 hours to scan the log.

?

Did I miss a step?

?

Everything appeared to work OK but the Dupes are still there.

?

Also, is there another, faster way to do this?

Like exporting to ADIF and reimporting with the “Check for Duplicates” option on.

?

Thanks,
