Re: PropView Question
Dave Bernstein
When operated on 10m, a dipole at 45 feet is more than 3 wavelengths
off the ground. Shouldn't its takeoff angle be much less than 45 degrees? 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@y..., "Ron Eberson" <zx@c...> wrote: Tomall the way to 6 meters and use them all, so pick your favorite.

Re: Progress table/DXKeeper 1.2.5
Dave Bernstein
This is not easily accomplished. If you delete a log entry for a QSO

with P5, the program must rescan all P5 QSOs to properly compute the P5 progress table entry. The "Recompute" button will accomplish this, but a Prefix-specific version would run a little faster. A prefix- specific Recompute could be made automatic after you delete a QSO, but I fear it would make the delete operation annoyingly expensive. Personally, I just run "Recompute" at the end of each operating session to cleanup afer any deletions; this too could be made automatic. I could special case the most-recently-added log entry by remembering the progress table entry for its DXCC entity prior to logging the QSO, thereby allowing an "undo" without recomputation if this log entry is deleted; deleting any other QSO would invalidate the remembered progress entry for the last QSO. Would this be worth the additional user-visible complexity? Comments? If there's a better way to handle this, I'm all ears. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@y..., "Richard B Drake" <rich@w...> wrote:

Avail % is the required circuit reliability, stated as a percentage

Show quoted text
representing the likelihood that signal quality will be acceptable. 10% is a good number for DXing, particularly for CW or PSK. 50% is a good number for ragchewing. 99% is a good number if you're using HF to call a taxi for your XYL when she's gone into labor. Most antennas radiate and receive at most angles, though there are lobes and nulls. For DXing purposes, we're more concerned with missing a potential path -- so its best to be optimistic with this number. 3 or 5 is a reasonable choice. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In dxlab@y..., Ted Sarah <w8tts@a...> wrote:

I'm not sure what's happened exactly, but the program failure is definitely the result of some latent defect. Since I'm unlikely to replicate it here, tracking it down would require me to add some instrumentation to a version, have you run it and report results. That would narrow things down a bit, enabling me to add some more instrumentation for you to try. I'm guessing it would take 3 or 4 cycles to find the problem. The faster way to get you running again is probably to zap DXView's registry entries. I suspect that once of these has taken on an unexpected value, and that's what's activating the defect. Uninstalling and reinstalling DXView does not clear its registry entries -- either you must run the program REGEDIT and delete the entry manually, or I must write a little program that does that for you. If you've used REGEDIT before, I'll tell you what entry to delete. Otherwise, I'll write the program and send it to you tomorrow. Let me know... 73, Dave, AA6YQ -----Original Message-----
