currently perform a callbook lookup or inspect previously logged QSOs with a specified callsign in order to determine a more accurate location." However, if you type a callsign into DXKeeper's Capture window and strike the Enter key, then DXKeeper will inspect previous QSOs (if enabled), perform a callbook lookup (if enabled), and direct DXView to select that station's location. In determining the station's location, DXKeeper gives information extracted from logged QSOs precedence over information obtained by callbook lookup, and gives information extracted from more recent logged QSOs precedence over information extracted from less recent logged QSOs. 73, Dave, AA6YQ -----Original Message-----

Subject: [dxlab] DX View Distances Hi. Apologies if this has been covered or answered before but I'm a newbie to this program. Could anyone tell me what use the Latitude/Longitude, Distance and Grid values are in DXView? 1. typing a prefix fragment or callsign into DXView's Main window; thisDXView lets you select a "location" by selects a location based on prefix and callsign analysis 1a. if the callsign was issued by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the USAP database is installed, the location is the center of the zip code registered as the station location with the FCC 1b. if the station's country unambiguously associates call areas with geographic regions, a representative location within the callsign's region will be selected (e.g. Russia, Japan) 1c. otherwise, a representative location within the callsign's country will be selected 2. clicking on a QSO in DXKeeper's Log Page Display; if the QSO specifies a grid square then its location will be selected, otherwise callsign analysis will be used to select a location as described in 1 above 3. double-clicking an entry in SpotCollector's Spot Database Display; if the entry specifies a grid square then its location will be selected, otherwise callsign analysis will be used to select a location as described in 1 above 4. specifying an IOTA tag (if the IOTA database is installed) 5. specifying a latitude and longitude 5. specifying a grid square 6. clicking on a location in DXView's world map a. aim a directional HF antenna (including the determination of whetherThe primary uses of a selected location are to short-path or long-path propagation is more likely) b. assess the signal path's likely interaction with the auroral zone, the position of which is estimated based on the K-index provided by SpotCollector c. generate an HF propagation forecast using PropView currently perform a callbook lookup or inspect previously logged QSOs with aWhen presented with a callsign (scenario #1 above), DXView does not specified callsign in order to determine a more accurate location. 73, Dave, AA6YQ ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
