Re: Script for WAS after 2000-01-01

 

+ AA6YQ comments below

If I wanted to write a script to determine the states I have worked, confirmed and verified on 40M after 01 January 2000, would the
script be:


filter Band='40m' and qso_begin > #2000-01-01#

report us_states <ReportsFolder>us_states_40.txt

If not, what should the script be?

+ Looks reasonable. Did you try it?

+ If you're pursuing the WAS award, you might use the WAS progress report instead of the US_States report.

Re: DXKeeper database error v15.4.9

 

+ AA6YQ comments below

Yesterday I closed DxLab, with all its components - except WW, as always via DXLab Launcher v2.1.2 Today I start Launcher v2.1.2 and get the following popup window notifications from DxKeeper v15.4.9:

attempt to open the log in C:\DXLab\DXKeeper\Databases\ON6AT.mdb failled:
Unknown database format
C:\DXlab\DXKeeper\Databases\ON6AT.mdb

By pressing OK I get the following screen:
unable to open log database: C:\DXLab\DXKeeper\Databases\ON6AT.mdb

By pressing OK again
DXKeeper screen appears, but is empty.

When I press Config, I see that everything is filled in correctly.
Can anyone advise me why this is?

+ That often means that the file has been corrupted. So I can examine the file for clues, please place

C:\DXLab\DXKeeper\Databases\ON6AT.mdb

Getting "Sat mode" to stick in DXKeeper log Capture window

 

New DXLabs user, starting out running DXKeeper stand alone.? I read in the help files where to set defaults for satellite modes, but when I open the Capture log window, nothing is preset.? So I have to enter satellite, mode and the TX and RX bands manually for each contact.??

1) What am I missing here?
2) Is there was way to easily change the default satellite and mode in the Capture window without editing defaults (multiple satellite passes back-to back)?

My read of the instructions is "it should just work."? I have a separate question for using LOTW, but will get to that later.

Thanks! 73 Steve KS1G

Re: Auto upload to LOTW glitch

 

+ AA6YQ comments below

I have all the latest updates installed. I have DxKeeper set up to auto upload all new qso's to LOTW, EQSL AND CLUBLOG. When I boot up my system and make my first qso I find the auto upload to LOTW is not happening. The qso is maked with a R in the LOTW field. If I make 5 qso's each mark as R. If I go to the qsl tab and click add requested and then upload to LOTW I find that all subsequent qso's properly auto upload to LOTW from that point forward until I shut the system down and reboot. Is this a known glitch?

+ At this moment, there are no reported but uncorrected defects in DXKeeper.

+ Please do the following:

1. On the General tab of DXKeeper's Configuration window, check the "Log debugging info" box

2. Terminate DXKeeper

3. Terminate Windows

4. Boot up your system and make your first QSO

5. Wait 3 minutes

6. On the General tab of DXKeeper's Configuration window, uncheck the "Log debugging info" box

7. Attach the errorlog.txt file from your DXKeeper folder to an email message, and send the message to me via

aa6yq (at) ambersoft.com

Two Rotors

 

Howdy,

Is there a plan to add a multi rotor feature to support more than one rotor from the program itself, thus be able to configure what rotor to turn for a specific band, etc.

DX Labs commander accessibility issues

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi all, I am trying to use DX Commander with two different Icom rigs; one being an ic7300 and the other an ic7100. Being blind I use a screen reader and am running into difficulties in the configuration dialog. I cannot press TAB to move to the next control and the controls are not read in the configuration screens. Is there any means of making this a little more accessible? I am using Windows 10 Pro with JAWS as my screen reader

I can make an .mp3 recording of what is happening if that helps.

Thanks

JT Alert does too.? I have had no issue with JT-Alert automatically logging to DXKeeper.

Instead of JT-ALERT you might want to try GridTracker. It will log to Dxkeeper directly.?

Re: AA1QD Log - Having Trouble with DXK QSL Tab Add Needed Function

 

Thanks for sending me your log and screen shot.

The first 3 QSOs on your list all have the same characteristics:

1. their IOTA tag is unconfirmed

2. their "QSL Sent" items are set to 'Y' (meaning "QSL card has been sent")

3. their "QSL Rcvd" items are blank (meaning "QSL card not confirmed and not requested").

It's the "QSL card not requested" status that is causing the "Add Needed" function to add these QSOs to the QSL Queue.

If you have in fact requested confirmations for these QSOs, then set their "QSL Rcvd" items to 'R'.

Re: Windows Defender

 

I do have Norton running.? That is why I was surprised that Windows defender got involved.??

I had issues that 3 of the DXLab's programs not starting after a Windows upgrade and per Dave's advice, I booted into Safe mode.? I launched the three programs in Safe and I had to click through a Windows Defender warning to start the programs.? At the time Windows Defender was not my selected AV software, but still it seemed to be in play during the upgrade. And that is why I'm going to go to the effort to exclude DXLabs in Defender even though it isn't selected.
